After listening to He Tengjiao's words, Hao Shaoqi didn't speak for a long time, and this is indeed the case, in the face of becoming that powerful Manchu army, no matter what force is afraid of it, let alone sending troops to help them, this kind of thing that ignites the fire, maybe even many forces still wish they were wiped out by the Manchu Qing as soon as possible, after all, if the Manchu army eliminated He Tengjiao, then it would take a while to completely digest the place controlled by He Tengjiao, and they were in this period of time, At the very least, I can rest assured.

"My lord, why don't we ask for help from the Ming Court in Shaanxi, as long as they are willing to help us, then we will be able to escape, even if we have no power at that time, at least we can save our lives." After thinking about it for a long time, Hao Shaoqi finally said to He Tengjiao with some hesitation.

Hearing Hao Shaoqi's words, He Tengjiao, who was still indifferent, instantly became excited and wanted to say something, but in the end he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Shaking the flag, the contradiction between you and Shi Lei and others back then, this official also knows, if we really ask for help from the Shaanxi Imperial Court, I am afraid that you will suffer at that time, they will definitely not let you go, although you have not been in contact with this official for a long time, but this official has already regarded you as a brother in life and death, how can he know that it is a fire pit, and still send you in?" ”

To tell the truth, when it is related to his own net worth and life, how can He Tengjiao not be excited, he has already had an idea about the matter of the players of the Ming Court in Shaanxi, but in the end he still gave up this idea, the key reason is that in addition to the fact that he does not know whether the Ming Court will go to war with the Manchu court for him, there is also because of Hao Shaoqi, for Hao Shaoqi's grievances with Shi Lei, he is very clear, when he rescued him from the chaos, Hao Shaoqi had already told him everything.

It's a pity that He Tengjiao at that time was in power, and he didn't even look at the corner of his eye for Shi Lei, who didn't have a trace of fame at that time, so after learning about Hao Shaoqi's ability, he was very happy to take him under his command, but he never thought that the kid who didn't even let him look at it with his eyes would have such a huge achievement today, and he fell into the precarious situation now, I don't know when the head on my neck is about to be cut off, thinking of this, He Tengjiao also had to sigh 'the world is impermanent'.

After seeing He Tengjiao's expression, Hao Shaoqi already understood He Tengjiao's thoughts, but I have to say that Hao Shaoqi is still very righteous, he didn't have much at that time, but after leaving He Tengjiao, he asked someone to write a letter, and then took advantage of the night to sneak out of the city and go to the north

While the eyes of all the forces in the world were attracted by the Manchu invasion of Huguang, Fujian, a coastal region located on the southeastern border, also moved.

Although "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" has been a high-risk matter since ancient times, as long as there is an opportunity, those powerful ministers still play this hand in an endless stream, because this is really one of the most concise and rapid ways to expand their power.

Since Yongli Emperor Zhu Youxiang was taken to Fujian by the Zheng family, the Zheng family used Zhu Youxiang's name, it is indeed a rapid expansion of influence and power, especially on land, the Zheng family in Fujian Province in the eyes of those high-ranking officials and eunuchs, that is just a vulgar, brutal pirate leader, but when you have the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youxiang this trump card in hand, it will be very different, the Zheng family seems to have become that noble family overnight, by the pursuit and support of everyone.

Although with the fall of Nanjing, the use value of Yongli Emperor Zhu Youxiang has long lost its previous importance, but Fujian, the southeast frontier land, many people still respect him very much, and it is in this way, taking advantage of this good situation, the Zheng family has become the uncrowned king of Fujian, and the whole Fujian has fallen into the hands of the Zheng family in a very short period of time, and at the same time, with the gradual stabilization of Fujian, the Zheng family or Zheng Zhilong has set his eyes on places outside Fujian.

Guangdong, this is Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family discussed for a long time before deciding to attack the target, in fact, in addition to Guangdong, the Zheng family has no choice, you know, the north of Fujian is Zhejiang, but Zhejiang belongs to the land of Jiangnan, whose sphere of influence is the land of Jiangnan now, that is the Manchu court, compared with the giant of the Manchu court, the Zheng family who has just controlled Fujian, it is similar to a small shrimp in the water, let alone a Fujian, even if it is ten, it will not necessarily be the opponent of the Manchu army, Therefore, the road to the north was directly ignored by the Zheng family.

In addition to going north, there is also a way that goes west, and this is also a step for the Zheng family to expand their influence, they are west of the land of Jiangxi, since the Ming Dynasty, here is the famous literary hometown, the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, here produced countless famous scholars and celebrities, if you can really take Jiangxi down smoothly, then the Zheng family will definitely get a huge reputation, but also open a channel for them to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But after discussing for a long time, this plan was also denied by the Zheng family, you know, although Jiangxi is not controlled by any force now, but that is only a superficial phenomenon, over the years, those countless eunuch families in Jiangxi, have completely controlled Jiangxi's up and down, anything, without the support of these eunuch families, it is impossible to be reused, more importantly, these eunuch families in Jiangxi are very disgusted with people from low backgrounds like the Zheng family, If the Zheng family really invades Jiangxi, then if they want to gain real control of Jiangxi, unless they kill all these official eunuchs, this is simply impossible, if the Zheng family really dares to do this, I am afraid that they will really become evil thieves in the eyes of the world's scholars and scholars, from now on, the Zheng family does not say that it is difficult to move an inch, it is also difficult, when the time comes, unless the Zheng family all go to sea to be pirates, otherwise, if they want to stay in the Central Plains, it is simply impossible.

Therefore, in this case, the Zheng family can only focus on the nearest Guangdong to them, first of all, the land of Guangdong is the same as Fujian, because it is located in a remote place, it is not valued by those powerful forces, and secondly, there is another reason that the land of Guangdong, like Fujian, is also close to the sea, so that the Zheng family's powerful maritime army can play a role, which also increases the chances of the Zheng family attacking Guangdong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time that my Zheng family has dispatched a large army, I hope that your brothers can be more attentive, as long as you can go smoothly in Guangdong, get promoted and make a fortune, you will be given whatever you want." Standing outside the city of Quanzhou Mansion, Zheng Zhilong was drinking send-off wine with many generals who were preparing to lead the troops.

Although his identity and status have changed dramatically, Zheng Zhilong has not changed much, whether it is speaking or form, or a pirate mode, but it is his easy-going attitude that makes many generals and soldiers who are ready to go to battle full of warmth in their hearts, and the nervous and fearful emotions have also faded a lot.

"Hahaha, big brother, you can rest assured, this time we set off with an army of 100,000 people, and there are many Westerners with artillery support, no matter what fortified city can't stop our soldiers, if anyone dares to resist us, we will set up a cannon, bombard the damn one, Lao Tzu wants to see whose head can have the cannonballs of cannons." It is Zheng Zhilong's second brother who speaks, Zheng Zhihu, although Zheng Zhihu is usually rude, but on the battlefield, he is an invincible tiger general, the Zheng family can have this kind of achievement at sea, Zheng Zhihu's courage is a certain contribution, therefore, this time after deciding to attack Guangdong, Zheng Zhilong also arranged Zheng Zhihu to serve as the commander of the first army and navy, this time the Zheng family sent troops to attack Guangdong, but the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way from Fujian, Zheng Zhilong personally led 70,000 troops, and attacked Guangzhou by land, On the other hand, Zheng Zhihu's navy led more than 1,000 sea ships and 30,000 troops to attack the coastal areas of Guangdong, so as to achieve the goal of disintegrating the defenders of Guangdong.

After hearing Zheng Zhihu's words, Zheng Zhilong and the others suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha, okay, I like the heroism of the second brother, we can have today's achievements, that are all brothers braving cannonballs, bows and arrows, fighting for their lives to come back, and now it is time for us to go further, I hope that you brothers will be at sea back then, we and those Westerners, Japanese people desperately take out the pride, as long as we can successfully take Guangdong this time, this official believes that you will get something that you could never have imagined before." ”

After a bowl of send-off wine, Zheng Zhilong and the others set off, and the 100,000-strong army marched towards Guangdong, all the way, which was daunting.

"Big brother, this time we are also out of the nest, and now Quanzhou City is also empty, aren't you afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make ghosts, you know, now Fujian seems to have fallen into the hands of our Zheng family, but secretly dissatisfied with our Zheng family, or the family that wants to replace it is a big person, big brother is not afraid that when we send troops, the backyard will catch fire, if this is really the case, I am afraid that when the time comes, we will be in a dilemma." When Zheng Zhilong led the army not far from the city, the third elder of the Zheng family, who had been following him, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Zheng Zhibao's question, Zheng Zhilong just smiled, and after a long time, he said, "Third brother, you told me this question a few days ago, I told you at that time, these things don't worry you, but I didn't expect that you haven't forgotten this matter, it seems that you literati really can't keep things in your hearts, since this is the case, then the eldest brother will tell you the truth, what you said, the eldest brother has already thought about it, but it is only after thinking about it carefully that the eldest brother decided to do this, after all, if it continues like this." , Those who are secretly dissatisfied with our Zheng family are like a stinger pierced into our Zheng family's body, although we know the pain, but we can't find them there at all.

And, more importantly, the longer this stinger is in our body, the stronger they will become, knowing that one day, when we face a strong enemy, they will exert force from within, so that we will have a hole at a critical time, so that we will be defeated by the enemy, since this is the case, then we must pull out this stinger as soon as possible, but this stinger is too hidden to hide, we can't find him at all, how to start, so, if we don't use a little means, And how can they take the initiative to come forward? “

Hearing this, Zheng Zhibao is also a smart person, he immediately understood what Zheng Zhilong meant, so he continued, "Yes, yes, the eldest brother thought well, and only in this way can he lure them out, now Quanzhou Mansion is empty, it is a good time to lure these stingers to jump out, they are hidden in the shadows, we can't do anything, but if they just jump out, we don't need to be afraid of them, when the time comes, we will be able to catch them all, Truly control the rights of the entire Quanzhou Prefecture and Fujian in our hands. ”

"Yes, that's what I think, and more importantly, this matter can not only pull out the hidden stinger, but also take this opportunity to cut off Sen'er's thoughts, my son is good at everything, but that's it, the loyalty and filial piety of the brain, I knew this, I didn't let him study, and it saved so much trouble, this time, I just want him to make a decision, between our Zheng family and the emperor, who should he choose, and let him see, the master he wants to be loyal to, What the hell did you do with our Zheng family? Zheng Zhilong said with a sneer on his face.

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, Zheng Zhibao also nodded and said, "Yes, Sen'er should indeed grow up, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, he is loyal to the emperor yet, but when is it, now the world is in chaos, and the heroes are rising together, if he still holds that kind of pedantic idea like this, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, it's better to let him sober up as soon as possible, you know, now is the time for our Zheng family to make great progress, as long as Sen'er can change his concept, then our Zheng family will definitely go to the next city, At that time, even if you can't be the first in the world, you can still have a title, and when the time comes, at least you can ensure that future generations can enjoy wealth and prosperity, which also makes our people's life's hard work not in vain. Zheng Zhibao's words were even more thorough.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes (to be continued.) )
