In the backyard of Zheng Mansion in Fuzhou, Zheng Chenggong drank Wuyi tea and looked at the young man in front of him, feeling melancholy.

was originally a general who was optimistic about him, but unfortunately his personality was wrong, but he didn't dare to reuse him.

Shi Lang stood in front of Zheng Chenggong and said with dissatisfaction: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said lightly: "Sit down, let's talk!" ”

Shi Lang sat down when he heard the diameter, grabbed the teacup in front of him and drank the cow.

Zheng Chenggong took a sip unhurriedly and said, "Honor, how are you doing lately?" ”

When Shi Lang heard this, he put the teacup on the stone table heavily, and said fiercely: "Thanks to your blessing, General, Lao Tzu is doing well, very wanton!" ”

"Oh, that's good. I thought that General Shi Da would be too young, and he treated you a little lightly. It seems that I am wrong, and it seems that this heavy responsibility will be entrusted to someone else! ”

Shi Lang heard it and said, "You ......"

Zheng Chenggong put down the teacup, stared at Shi Lang and said fiercely: "Don't put on this posture in front of Lao Tzu, if you don't want to do it, get out of front of Lao Tzu." Give Lao Tzu a lifetime of fishing to live. ”

Since Zheng Chenggong was sent to train those reserve men at will, no one treats him, and even a little history dares to snub himself.

Shi Lang himself once thought about betraying the Zheng family and defecting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But since seeing the Zheng family's repeated defeats against the Qing army, the momentum of the Zheng family's rise can be seen by everyone, and Shi Lang hesitated.

Now seeing that Zheng Chenggong is angry, Shi Lang knows that this is his last chance, if he is not convinced, then his life is over, and he can only retire in Qingshui Yamen.

But I am still young, and I still have the ambition to do something big, how can I retire now.

Thinking of pre-training some people in reserve to grow old, Shi Lang was scared for a while.

Looking at Zheng Chenggong, who was getting stronger and stronger, Shi Lang stood up and leaned over and said: "The last general is willing to obey the general's orders, and the last general will definitely do his best!" ”

Seeing Shi Lang softened, Zheng Chenggong picked up the tea again and took a sip.

He knew that Shi Lang was only taking it orally now, and he was not convinced. It doesn't matter, though.

As long as he is willing to give in and serve, it's good.

It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, you can use the general momentum to press him until he is convinced.

Shi Lang leaned over and stood like this, Zheng Chenggong drank a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "Get up, sit down!" ”

Shi Lang arched his hand and said, "General Xie! ”

This time, Shi Lang sat down respectfully, only half of his butt sat on the stone bench, waiting for the general's order.

Zheng Chenggong was satisfied with Shi Lang's attitude this time, and no longer made things difficult for him, and said directly: "Honorable Marquis, you should know." Our banner is to drive the Tartars and support the Ming Dynasty. It has always been known for its benevolence and righteousness, but in fact, it always needs some people to do something that is not visible. ”

Zheng Chenggong looked at Shi Lang's reaction and saw that he nodded in agreement before continuing: "Therefore, some things need to be done by a team of people who are not under the government on the surface. For example, by capturing the natives, a large number of slaves were obtained for construction, and the common people were forced to serve in lieu of servitude. Do you want to be the commander of this army? ”

Shi Lang heard it, and he completely understood what Zheng Chenggong meant, but he hesitated at this time.

If you don't belong to the people of the court, what kind of position is it?

"General, can I ask, can I be regarded as an appointed general of the imperial court at that time?"

Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said: "If you don't belong to the imperial court, you naturally can't be regarded as a general appointed by the imperial court!" ”

Seeing that Shi Lang was a little lost, Zheng Chenggong said: "Although I can't give you the position of general on the surface, you don't have to worry, I won't leave you alone." And when you go to this army, you are the supreme commander of this army. You can command how you want in the future, I don't care, I just want the result. And I know you have a great interest in money, and I can assure you that every time you complete a mission, you will get a great bounty. How's that, interested? ”

Always the supreme command of the army! Generous bounty!

Shi Lang was a little tempted at this time, and he asked, "Then how many people are in this army?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "There are only 1,000 people now, but as long as you behave well, 10,000 or 20,000 people is not a problem!" ”

Shi Lang heard it and seriously thought about the gains and losses.

Seeing that Shi Lang was still hesitating, Zheng Chenggong increased his chips and said: "Don't worry about your status in the future, as long as the anti-Qing Dynasty is successful and the general is in power, it is not a problem to reward you with a title." ”

Hearing this, Shi Lang completely made up his mind, stood up and shouted: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, Shi Lang is a good hand at fighting, but he is a little greedy for money, and now the profession of this mercenary leader is definitely suitable for him.

Zheng Chenggong said: "You have a few days to rest, and then go to Nanyang." Where to catch the slaves is up to you to consult with the public. In order to enable you to successfully complete your mission, this time I will allocate three lock ships, twelve fortune ships, twenty sand boats, two hundred muskets, three hundred pairs of rattan armor, five hundred simple swords, five hundred pairs of good bows, and fifty thousand sharp arrows to you. This is the first time you're absolutely going to do it and shut some people's mouths! ”

"Yes, General!"

"Good job, this job is very promising."

……

After reading the letter in the bamboo tube, Zheng Tai lowered his head and thought about it.

The general needs slaves to open mountains and avoid roads, build bridges and pave roads, so it should be possible to use slaves to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

Thinking of this, Zheng Tai let go of his prejudices against Shi Lang and warmly entertained him.

Not only did he send the best woman among the "murderers" who were escorted by the ghost to his room to warm the bed, but also paid a batch of advance payments in accordance with the rules set by the general, asking for the purchase of a batch of slaves.

Shi Lang has been floating on the sea for several months, and he can only use the five-fingered girl to solve his physical problems, and he has long been lonely.

Now seeing Zheng Tai like this, Shi Lang immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely give priority to sending the captured slaves over, and then rushed into the room to start a fierce hand-to-hand fight with this indigenous woman.

This night, Shi Lang is really fierce and extraordinary, five times a night! (To be continued.) )
