After riding a horse, he walked through the Dragon and Tiger General's Workshop that Chongzhen had set up for him, and returned home not far away.

The uncle, who had already received the notice, waited at the door with his family early, except for Zhu Yujiao, the other three concubines were there, his sister was also waiting, and his parents were not there.

In the eager eyes of the family, Yang Chao jumped off, and his uncle came over to take the reins of the horse.

"Uncle let's go, just let my own soldiers go and tie the horse!"

Yang Chao pulled his uncle to leave, but his uncle asked Yang Chao to go back first, and he beckoned to settle these soldiers.

Yang Chao was not polite, and strode into the house, the two concubines followed obediently, and the other servants began to beckon the soldiers and lead their horses home.

Yang Chao couldn't wait to see his wife, thinking that her belly should be bigger.

But at this time, there was a sudden commotion at the door.

I heard someone shouting 'Governor', and my uncle was blocking it, telling someone to come another day.

"What's going on?"

Yang Chao couldn't help frowning.

I just went home, who can't wait to disturb, it won't be an old scribe who came to ask for an official, thinking of this, Yang Chao couldn't help but be a little bored.

"It's not the pirate from Fujian!"

Li Xiangjun pouted.

"Pirates in Fujian?"

"It's called Zheng Sen."

Sister Yang Yue interface.

Zheng Chenggong?

Yang Chao's heart moved, listening to the tone of the concubine and his sister, it seemed that he didn't want to see this hero of later generations. conAd1();

This is not surprising, although the Zheng family is rich and rivals the country, they are still regarded as pirates in the eyes of the people.

Zheng Chenggong was young and vigorous, so he naturally couldn't stand this, and when he was in school in Fujian, the local gentry looked down on him. As a result, Zheng Chenggong was restless, relying on the money in his family, hugging from front to back, lingering in various high-end places, much more than those gentlemen and tyrants. Often spend a lot of money.

As a result, he offended many gentry families, and these families had a lot of energy in officialdom, and in the end, Zheng Chenggong was not admitted to Xiucai, Zheng Zhilong let his son worship Qian Qianyi as a teacher, and he may not have considered deepening the relationship with the gentry class.

Although he is rich, he is despised by the world. Even a famous prostitute like Li Xiangjun does not want to see this kind of character, and welcomes the sons and daughters of the gentry class.

"Let my uncle take Zheng Sen to the flower hall, and I'll see him later."

Yang Chao said to a girl next to him.

Yang Chao does not have so many prejudices, but has always been very optimistic about this national hero. Zheng Chenggong came to find himself at this time, it was definitely not idle, there must be something serious, and it must be related to Fujian, the entire Fujian was occupied by Jin Shenghuan, it was strange that Zheng could endure this breath.

Although he was anxious to see his wife's belly, Yang Chao was still very honest to meet his parents first, although he forgot his mother after marrying his daughter-in-law. But don't you have to talk about this rule, parents are naturally happy to see their son return safely. The mother wiped her tears, the father's eyes were a little red, and Yang Chao, a conscienceless thing, dealt with a few words casually, and immediately went to the daughter-in-law's house.

"Let me see. How much bigger. ”

curiously lifted Zhu Yujiao's coat and saw that her belly had been round for nearly seven months. Sticking to it and listening to the sound, I couldn't tell if it was my son's heartbeat.

Suddenly, I felt my wife's body burn. Than consciously writhed, and looked up to see that she was already red-faced. Pregnant women are extremely sensitive, and they will react when they touch it, which Yang Chao naturally knows, looking at his wife's situation, it is estimated that he can't help it. conAd2();

Yang Chao suddenly kissed her little mouth gently, and after a long kiss, her lips were bloodshot before she let go.

But at this time, the wife's reaction was more intense, violently, and her eyes were foggy.

"Donkey, you go find Xiao Wan and them, go out quickly, I'm tired!"

Zhu Yujiao urged Yang Chao to leave at this time, obviously she valued the heir in her belly more than her physical desire.

Yang Chao left a little stupidly, he didn't dare to risk anything, the princess's body was not strong, far inferior to Dong Xiaowan and Chen Yuanyuan, and similar to Li Xiangjun, so he didn't dare to risk doing bad things.

However, he didn't go to the concubine to mess around, but thought of Zheng Chenggong and immediately went to the flower hall.

"Zheng Sen!"

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted first, and was able to call these heroes by name, Yang Chao always felt an inexplicable refreshment.

Zheng Chenggong couldn't sit still at all in the Hua Pavilion, walking back and forth, just walking back, with his back to the door, when he heard a call.

Looking back, it was not Yang Chao who else was, but he took two steps forward and suddenly fell to his knees.

"Dadudu, save my eight million people!"

Yang Chao immediately helped Zheng Chenggong up.

I secretly said in my heart, this kid, I don't know who to learn from, I talk about eight million people in Fujian, and I have learned to represent the people, is there any authorization?

Fujian's population of 8 million is just an imaginary number, and no one can say the real number.

In later generations, some people estimate the population of the Ming Dynasty, various experts say differently, some say 100 million, some say 200 million, there is an intermediate figure estimated at 160 million, in this data, the population of the provinces is the largest in the south of the country, 28 million people, Zhejiang 22 million, with Yang Chao's population estimate of Jiangnan, is credible, the official record is 60 million, that is used to pay taxes, the statistical era is the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, the expansion of three times in the past three hundred years is not much. conAd3();

According to this estimate, the population of Fujian is 12 million, while Guangdong, the most populous province in later generations, was only 10 million at this time, Guangxi was 3 million, and Yunnan was 1 million.

Fujian, a mountainous land with eight mountains, one water and one field, is indeed too dense with 12 million people, so Fujian in the Ming Dynasty is a province with a large outflow of population, and countless people go to Nanyang to make a living, and there are even more pirates, so there is soil for the survival of sea heroes from Li Dan to Zheng Zhilong.

"Uncle Zhongxiao, what is the matter with coming to me?"

After asking Zheng Chenggong to sit down, Yang Chao asked slowly.

Where can Zheng Chenggong sit still, and briefly explained the situation.

It turned out that at this time, the whole province of Fujian was occupied by the Qing army's green camp Jin Shenghuan, but the strength of the Zheng group was still there, but in the hands of Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and others, they occupied Xiamen and other islands along the coast. But these people did not surrender to Zheng Chenggong, they only listened to Zheng Zhilong before, but each of them had their own people in their hands, but these people only listened to them, and the Zheng Group was actually a maritime group composed of small hills (it is okay to say that the pirate group. For the sake of respect, cover the ears and steal the bell, written as a maritime merchant).

However, there are also some forces that support Zheng Chenggong, such as Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Hongkui, who supports Zheng Chenggong and has been lobbying others to listen to Zheng Chenggong's orders, unite around Zheng Chenggong, and reunite the Zheng family's forces.

But it didn't work out well. Zheng Chenggong's people and Zheng Hongkui's forces only account for one-third, and most of the Zheng group prefer to go their own way, and if they lose Zheng Zhilong, the Zheng family will lose their backbone.

So after Zheng Chenggong failed to unite the Zheng forces, he listened to the advice of his uncle Zheng Hongkui. asked him to come to Yang Chao for help, and asked Zheng Chenggong to bring a letter, Zheng Hongkui thought that he still had some face in front of Yang Chao, hoping to impress Yang Chao.

"What? Isn't that nonsense! ”

After reading the letter, Yang Chao couldn't help but exclaim and slapped the letter on the table.

Zheng Hongkui wants to send a niece to Yang Chao as a concubine, hoping that Yang Chao can send troops to help them drive out Jin Shenghuan, and at the same time unite the Zheng family.

"Uncle, is this unwilling to help?"

Zheng Chenggong's expression slowly turned cold.

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh. This is really a hero, he can't stand the slightest grievance, and it will be easier to succeed if he has a thick face and a black heart. But that's the hero.

But Zheng Chenggong obviously misunderstood Yang Chao, Yang Chao didn't mean to refuse, but felt that it was a bit ridiculous for Zheng Hongkui to send a niece.

And Zheng Chenggong came to ask for help, with his proud character, this is already the limit, and he was rejected by Yang Chao and did not turn his face on the spot. is already swallowing his anger, probably because Yang Chao has been famous for a long time. If it had been a different person, he would have thrown up his sleeves and left.

"It's not that you won't help! But the Governor is not able to divide his forces for the time being. You know that the elite of Bendu are now in Shandong. ”

Zheng Chenggong let out a muffled sigh.

"So, then take your leave."

"Wait!"

Yang Chao immediately stopped him, this guy was too arrogant, thinking that Yang Chao was perfunctory to him.

"Uncle Zhong and filial piety might as well wait at the Yang family for a while. Benjue first wrote a few letters to Zheng Siye to bring back, so that others could see that Benjue supports you. ”

"This!"

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seemed that Yang Chao really wanted to help him, in the name of Yang Chao, if he could write a few letters to the past, the Zheng Cai brothers would probably buy it, and if they didn't buy it, they would have to weigh Yang Chao's military might.

Zheng Chenggong had no intention of subduing Zheng Cai's brothers at this time, he just hoped that as in the past, everyone would unite and reproduce the majesty of Zheng Zhilong's time, just because they were now working separately, the Dutch were no longer paying taxes to them, not only the Dutch, but even the pirates in Guangdong and the Beibu Gulf began not to buy the Zheng family's account.

Gathering the strength, Zheng Chenggong can reasonably ask the Dutch for money in the next step, and suppress the large number of pirates, which is another force to be reckoned with.

"Don't dare to disobey your orders!"

Zheng Chenggong was relieved to live in Yang's house, and sent someone to send back Yang Chao's letter, and Zheng Chenggong also secretly read the content of the letter.

Yang Chao reviewed the friendship between Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui brothers and Zheng Zhilong and himself to Zheng Cai and others in his heart, expressed his concern for the current situation of the Zheng family, analyzed them, and praised Zheng Chenggong for having the demeanor of his father, hoping that Zheng Cai and others could support Zheng Chenggong to reorganize the Zheng family's forces.

The content of the letter made Zheng Chenggong extremely satisfied, and he waited at Yang's house with peace of mind, waiting for Yang Chao to reorganize his troops and help him regain his lost territory.

In fact, compared to Zheng's need for Yang Chao, Yang Chao also needs Zheng's, once Zheng's huge maritime group collapses, the entire eastern maritime situation will immediately get out of control, after the Dutch lose their restraint, they will unscrupulously expand their power, pirates will also lose control, and the connection between Jiangnan and the colonies in the Mekong Delta will be severed, so Yang Chao needs Zheng to still be a powerful maritime force, as for whether this force is in Zheng Chenggong's power or not, it is not very important.

But Yang Chao was more optimistic about Zheng Chenggong, so he chose to support him, that's all. (To be continued)
