The news that Yang Chao gave birth to a daughter soon spread all over the world.

Huangfeng Mansion in Nanjing sighed.

Shandong's Li Wuliu, Wang Pu, Zhao Kang and others were also very sorry, and when they got together, they privately said that it would be great if they were a little uncle.

Many men on the front line in Jiangxi also sighed.

Lu Mo and Xie Fei also felt sorry.

All the beneficiaries of Yang Chao's forces feel sorry for them, they have tied Yang Chao to their future, and the Yang family does not have an heir, so they feel unsteady.

But these people invariably sent congratulatory gifts, and they didn't dare to express any regret, and congratulated Yang Chao one after another.

However, Liu Zongzhou and others ridiculed in their hearts, and even invited three or five friends to have a drink.

I heard that even the little emperor Zhu Cihuan in Zhaoqing was very concerned about this, and when he heard that it was a daughter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Quick, call Auntie."

The parents gave birth to a granddaughter, but they didn't look very happy, pretending to be happy in front of people, but they were even more anxious behind their backs, only Yang Yue was the happiest person.

Even the child's mother, Zhu Yujiao, was a little sad, she always thought that she was pregnant with a son, and many people looked at it and said it was a son, but she didn't expect it to be a daughter.

"Hello daughter, daughter is her father's close-fitting little padded jacket!"

Yang Chao is another happy person, looking at the sweet little girl who is eating her fingers and sleeping, Yang Chao feels that her heart is soft, the feeling of being connected to another person's blood, people who have no children really can't experience it, this feeling is so wonderful, and it is so strong, so that you think you can give everything for this little life.

"Take a name, choose a name to feed."

Zhu Yujiao said weakly on the side.

"Didn't you all discuss it before?"

Choosing a name, when they were just pregnant, Dong Xiaowan and the others were active, and they flipped through books all day long to find good words.

Zhu Yujiao sighed: "I used to take my son's name. Who wants to give birth to a girl. ”

"Hello girl, girl worry-free!"

Yang Chao sighed, the idea of patriarchy is unacceptable, but the fact is. In this era, this kind of thinking is very serious, and when some poor families give birth to daughters and can't support them, it is good to abandon them, and some even kill female infants.

"What's the name, is it okay to call Yang Lan?"

"Whatever you want. Let's take a nickname. ”

"It's called Hong'er. Look at her little face, how red. ”

Seeing that her husband really liked her daughter, Zhu Yujiao couldn't help but turn her head, a stream of tears flowed from her eyes, and her mood was indescribably complicated.

"Uncle, that pirate has come to congratulate."

When he first warmed up with his daughter, Zheng Chenggong came to congratulate him, but in fact, he just took the opportunity to talk to Yang Chao about Fujian.

"Congratulations to Uncle, Congratulations to Uncle!"

Zheng Chenggong's face was full of smiles, but the anxiety in his eyes could not be concealed.

Fujian's Jin Shenghuan is after anyway. Zheng lost the excuse to attack Jin Shenghuan, and there was no chance to recover Fujian, and Zheng Chenggong was very worried about this.

"Haha, thank you for the congratulatory gift. It's time for you to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby. ”

Yang Chao asked Zheng Chenggong to sit down, and said that he was indeed in a good mood.

"The hatred of the country and the family have not been avenged, why should the family be!"

Zheng Chenggong replied loudly.

Yang Chao smiled: "Come and serve tea, let Yang Yue come over, you girls are rude." ”

Yang Chao deliberately asked his sister to come over. He wanted to create an opportunity for his sister to get in touch with Zheng Chenggong, who was already old, but had not yet found someone because her parents were too picky. After Yang Chao got married, they began to handle it for their sister, but at that time, the big wealthy families did not look down on the Yang family with heavy troops, and the ordinary family Yang family couple did not look down on it.

The criteria for parents to choose a mate for their sister have now become a wealthy family, and non-wealthy families do not marry. A big businessman like Wang Xiao's family is absolutely unacceptable, it must be an official eunuch's family, and without a century-old heritage, he can't even look at it.

But Yang Chao offended the Hao family again, and at this time, which Hao family dared to marry the Yang family, it would be scolded to death.

Yang Chao doesn't care much about those local tyrants, if his sister wants to get married, Yang Chao would rather let his sister find a hero, a hero who can be written into the history books, Zheng Chenggong obviously meets the standard.

My sister quickly came in, poured a cup of tea, and put it in front of Zheng Chenggong with a bang, and the tea was spilled.

"Zheng Gongzi drinks tea."

Then he said coldly.

Zheng Chenggong nodded casually, and didn't care, his eyes glanced at Yang Yue casually, and there was no reaction.

These two people don't call!

Yang Chao secretly said in his heart, several times, Yang Chao has found this problem, influenced by several sisters-in-law in the family, and his sister is very unkind to Zheng Chenggong, who was born as a pirate, and is very prejudiced. And Zheng Chenggong really has no interest in women, at least he has not been close to women in Nanjing for half a year.

"The governor can't send troops to Fujian. The world had only been quiet for a few months, and the Governor did not want to stir up strife. ”

As soon as his sister left, Yang Chao expressed his position directly to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong said: "I know the difficulties of my uncle, I don't ask my uncle to send troops to Fujian, I only ask my uncle to write to set up a city ship division in Quanzhou, and my Zheng family only wants to get the benefits of sea trade." ”

As long as Jin Shenghuan is under the banner of the Ming Dynasty for a day, the Zheng family will not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and send troops to attack.

At this time, the Zheng clan's power was still only on the coastal islands, almost sitting on empty seats, and when they were opposed to Jin Shenghuan in the past, they could only obtain some goods through smuggling, and they had to leave most of the ships to guard against Jin Shenghuan, so the maritime trade was greatly affected.

The key is that the Zheng family lost the hegemony of the South China Sea, and the Dutch were the first to jump out and not pay taxes to the Zheng family, and they didn't even give the pump, and the Zheng family could only endure it, and the pirates of all sizes also began to disobey the order, especially the pirates in the Guangdong area began to act on their own, and even began to attack the Zheng team.

Now that Fujian can't fight, the Zheng family retreats to the next best, hoping to open a market in Fujian like Yang Chao controlling the Jiangnan City Shipping Division, with the Zheng family in charge, step by step to snatch back the interests of the sea trade, and slowly recover its power and regain hegemony in the South China Sea.

At this point, Yang Chao is very supportive of the Zheng family.

"You can. However, this market is still better opened by the Governor. Not only should he open a city in Quanzhou, but he would also open a city in Guangzhou. Should the whole country be unified? ”

"This!"

Zheng Chenggong didn't expect Yang Chao to have ambitions for Fujian, and his face suddenly changed, if Jin Shenghuan occupied Fujian, and the Zheng family dared to compete with it, then Yang Chao had ambitions for Fujian, which was the biggest danger, if Yang Chao was a tiger, Jin Shenghuan was just a dog.

"However, all the tax money from Quanzhou City was given to the Zheng family. However, Zheng had to ensure that there would be no smuggling in Fujian and Guangdong, otherwise the opening of the city's shipping company would only be in vain. ”

Zheng Chenggong was puzzled again, Yang Chao wanted to open a market, but he left the tax money to Zheng, what did this mean, whether it was intentional in Fujian or unintentional, he was a little unsure.

"I don't know how long Uncle plans to hand over the tax money to the Zheng family?"

Zheng Chenggong asked, he didn't know if Yang Chao was just an expedient measure, or if he had other plans.

"The Zheng family guards the Daming Haijiang for one day, and the Fujian City foreign tax silver will support the Zheng family for one day."

Yang Chaodao.

Zheng Chenggong listened to a joy, which showed that Yang Chao still supported them, and this was the best ending if he couldn't personally take charge of the market.

"In this way, I will wait for the Zheng family's 200,000 sea brothers to thank Uncle Yang!"

Zheng Chenggong immediately stood up and bowed in thanks.

Yang Chao helped him sit down: "The power of the Zheng clan is the power of my Ming dynasty, and without the Zheng clan, there will be no coastal defense." The Governor hopes that the Zheng clan will not only dominate the South China Sea, but also rush out of the South China Sea, and wherever there is a sea route, there should be the banner of the Zheng clan! ”

Zheng Chenggong's hand shook suddenly, that kind of picture was so beautiful, he was a little excited.

Yang Chao patted him: "Uncle Zhongxiao, you are still young, you should have great ambitions." Look at those Dutch red hairs, there is no place in the world where they don't go, the Dutch can eat, and the Zheng family can eat too! ”

Yang Chao continued to encourage Zheng to develop maritime power.

After the two finished talking, Zheng Chenggong said goodbye, he came this time except for Daoxi, that is, he resigned, he has been in Nanjing for more than three months, he has got what he should get, there is no hope for what he didn't get, he has to go back to regroup his strength.

Under the mediation of Yang Chao and the influence of Zheng Hongkui, the forces of the Zheng family have gathered together again, and everyone accepts Zheng Chenggong to lead them, although some are not convinced, but with the endorsement of Yang Chao and the assistance of Zheng Hongkui, they all accept Zheng Chenggong as the leader.

To protect the water power of the Zheng family, Yang Chao did not hesitate, to say something unpleasant, it was not that the Zheng family transformed into an official identity as a pirate, the maritime frontier of the Ming Dynasty had long been ravaged by many people, and the Dutch, British, and Spaniards were all eyeing it.

Before the rise of the Zheng family, the Spaniards dared to massacre the Chinese in the Philippines, after the rise of the Zheng family, this kind of thing did not happen, to be honest, because the Zheng family dominated the South Seas, the Chinese merchants in the South Seas had the opportunity to trade with the foreigners on an equal footing, otherwise they would only be plundered.

The Dutch, the British, and the French all once supported the pirates, especially the British, if it weren't for pirates such as Drake, they would have been defeated by the Spanish Armada a long time ago, and then the equally invincible Spanish phalanx landed on the British Isles, and Britain, with almost zero standing troops, seemed to have no other choice than to change to a pair of Spanish imperial flags.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also recovered the maritime power Zheng Group, thus becoming the only country that could ensure that its coastal defense was not bullied under the attack of Western pirate groups, unlike India, which was forcibly built on the coast by various countries, and finally eaten away one bite at a time.

Throughout the New Year, he was warming up with his family, of course, Yang Chao applied for a vacation according to the rules, which was a normal holiday. (To be continued.) )
