When Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhibao came out of the hall, Pang Gang was still sitting on the stool and was silent, at this time, Li Yuan stood up indignantly and said to Pang Gang: "My lord, the Zheng family is too bullying, even a child dares to bully you, it is better to let the last general give him a little power!" ”

Pang Gang shook his head, "No, the two countries have not killed the two countries, not to mention that now we are both Ming courtiers, if we behead these two people now, Zheng Zhilong in Fujian will definitely go crazy, and it will be difficult for him to bring troops to attack us at that time." ”

"What are you afraid of, if you want to take the Zheng family's boat, can you still sail to Qingzhou?" Li Yuan didn't think about it so much, "Even the Tartars have been beaten away by us, what is a mere Zheng family." ”

"Nonsense!" Pang Gang glared at Li Yuan angrily: "We are not afraid of him on land, but if he cuts off our sea route, our sailors are still very weak, don't forget that Zheng Zhilong has thousands of ships, not to mention so many clothes, even if it is blocked, our sea route will be blocked." ”

Listening to Pang Gang's words, the generals couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, yes, there are many ants and dead elephants, if the Zheng family attacks with all their might, how can dozens of ships on their side resist.

Looking at the helpless generals, Pang Gang's mood couldn't help but start to be depressed, brother is here to Tuntian, this is to recruit who to provoke, how to practice the Zheng family's people also come to join in the fun, it seems that it is really moving. Thinking of this, Pang Gang suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he hurriedly ordered: "Immediately order someone to send a warning to Tuhai, who is training in the open sea, and order him to train in the open sea for a few days now, and he will not be able to return to Hong Kong for the time being, and he must not let Zheng Zhibao and them discover our galleon." ”

Speaking of this, Pang Gang couldn't help but be a little worried, with the greed of the Zheng family, after discovering the Dafu ship, he had already sent someone to ask for it regardless of his face, if he found a Spanish galleon with a more powerful body, where could he still sit, according to Zheng Zhilong's surname, I am afraid that he would directly send heavy troops to attack.

"No, there is only one port or it is not safe, it seems that the construction of Shenmi Island and Weihaiwei Port will be accelerated, and there are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, how can it be done without leaving a way back." Thinking about it, Pang Gang's mind didn't know where it flew again.

After saying the commander's mansion, Zheng Sen helped Zheng Zhibao onto the horse and asked in a low voice, "Fourth uncle, can you still hold on?" ”

Zheng Zhibao endured the pain in his chest and lay on the horse's back, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed from his forehead, and said weakly: "It's okay, it's just out of breath for a while, just rest, it's not safe here, let's go quickly." ”

Zheng Sen also got on the horse, and the two of them slowly walked towards the city gate with the support of a group of guards.

Looking at Zheng Zhibao holding his chest in pain, Zheng Sen shot a terrifying look in his eyes, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "The surname is Pang, I'm not done with you!"

After the two walked for a long distance, the severe pain in Zheng Zhibao's chest was slightly better, Zheng Zhibao slowly adjusted his breathing, and felt that the qi in his chest was smoothed out before he said hatefully: "I didn't expect the surname Pang to move so fast, I was kicked to the ground by him before I could react, but he didn't give us too much face, after I go back, I must ask my eldest brother to send a sailor to bring the army over and raze this Qingzhou to the ground!" ”

Zheng Sen also nodded: "Although this Qingzhou sailor is still very weak, but looking at their port, it is very grand, Fourth Uncle, I don't know if you have noticed, their more than ten shipyards distributed near the port are all busy and busy, according to this scale, they can add at least three to fifty new ships every year, so that in less than three years, they can form a fleet that can cause trouble for us, so that the threat to us is too great." ”

Zheng Sen's opinion is the same as his father's, and he must not watch Qingzhou's sailors grow bigger. Since the implementation of the ban on the sea in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's sailors have existed in name only, and the only Nanjing sailors have become an empty shelf.

And Zheng Zhilong after taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty court, he held the banner of the court to suppress the various small and medium-sized forces along the coast, and he would never allow the rise of any maritime power that could threaten himself, this is Zheng Zhilong's true idea, and this time Zheng Sen came to ask for the Dafu ship and shipbuilding drawings, which was actually a test of Pang Gang.

If Pang Gang agreed to their request, then everything is easy to say, they can take advantage of the situation to ask the Zheng family sailor to enter the Wanghaibao wharf, and now the Qingzhou sailor is firmly controlled in their hands. If Pang Gang doesn't agree, then there is no need to say more, just suppress it.

Zheng Sen, who was thinking about his thoughts, silently calculated what way and how many ships to blockade and plunder the ships of the Qingzhou Naval Division, and along the way, Zheng Sen also found that Qingzhou's economy was also developing very well, if he could send troops to plunder the Qingzhou area, then he would definitely be able to add more wealth to his family.

"Qingzhou, Qingzhou, you wait, I'll be back soon." Zheng Sen looked back at the majestic Qingzhou city wall behind him, and was silently ruthless in his heart.

Although Zheng Sen's visit to Qingzhou made Pang Gang more vigilant, his attention was soon drawn to another matter, that is, he had a big wedding again.

On the sixth day of December in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Pang Gang became the protagonist again, because Pang Gang got married again.

Although this wedding was not a wife, but because he married two wives and a concubine in one go, both wives were people with status, even Chen Yuanyuan was a famous concubine, and most of the rich gentry in Qingzhou City came.

Although these wealthy gentry hated the commercial tax levied by Pang Gang, the situation was stronger than people, and they held the military power seal in their left hand and the money bag in their right hand.

In line with the principle of "life is like that, if you can't resist, just enjoy it", none of the rich gentry dared to slack off, regardless of whether they received an invitation or not, one or two of them cheered up, and came to the commanding envoy's mansion with a gift list to ask for a meeting. Although the commander's mansion is not small, Pang Gang did not expect that so many people would come, and many people who came to congratulate him did not have a seat, but fortunately, the eldest brother Kong Lin, who was holding the wedding, was very capable, and quickly chartered two restaurants in the city, which can be regarded as settling everyone down.

This marriage is very different from the last time Pang Gang got married in Lingshanwei, the people who can enter the inner courtyard are all people in Qingzhou City who are either rich or noble, and have heads and faces, so naturally they can't be crowded together like people outside, and there are six tables of banquets in the courtyard of the inner courtyard.

Pang Gang, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, greeted the guests who participated in his wedding banquet in the small garden of the inner courtyard. There were no red lanterns in the garden, but a large ball of flowers was placed in the center of the garden, surrounded by four tables full of seasonal fruits.

Only Wei Tongnian was the only one who could enter the inner courtyard, and the Kong Wen father and son who came to help, as well as some officials and the largest gentry in Qingzhou.

Pang Gang has been standing at the gate of the courtyard to greet the guests since the afternoon, smiling so much that his face is about to cramp, and finally in the evening after the guests have arrived, he has no time to rest.

Soon it was an auspicious time, Chen Yuanyuan's bridesmaid Liu Ru and two brides walked out with the three brides tonight, and the master of ceremonies who had been prepared shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, the wedding has begun!"

As the emcee's words fell, Liu Ru, who was accompanying Chen Yuanyuan, sang with "Phoenix" and "The peach is dying, scorching its glory." The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The peach is dying, and there is a treasure. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. At that time, Pang Gang was already standing side by side with the three brides in front of the ancestral tablet, bowing and drinking wine.

When Pang Gang led the three brides to the hem of Wei Tongnian, who was sitting on the main seat, Wei Tongnian, who had always paid attention to official authority, was smiling like a chrysanthemum on his face at this moment.

After worshipping heaven and earth, Pang Gang was about to send the bride back to the cave room, but he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Shi Bowen, the captain of the personal soldier who was in charge of today's vigilance work, hurriedly walked in and hugged Pang Gang and said, "My lord, there is a holy decree!" ”

"What, there is a holy decree?" Pang Gang couldn't help but be taken aback, could it be that Chongzhen was going to produce something again?

"Hurry up and invite the Chin Cha in!" Although he was a little surprised in his heart, Pang Gang still did not slack off in his mouth, and ordered Shi Bowen to invite Qin in in.

After a while, a eunuch about thirty years old walked in with two brocade guards, and when he saw Pang Gang, he stood still on the spot without saying anything, took out a goose-yellow holy decree from his sleeve, and said in a sharp voice: "The holy decree has arrived, and the right governor of Nanjing commanded Tongzhi and Dingguo General Pang Gang to receive the decree!" ”

"Chen Pang just received the order!" Pang Gang made an uproar and led a group of guests to kneel down to greet the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Pang Gang Gong is loyal to the country, has a great contribution to the imperial court, I heard that he is now married to the daughter of the Wei family, the Li family, and the Chen family as his wife, I am very relieved, and I am very relieved, and I am specially awarded the daughter of the Wei family, the daughter of the Li family, Xuezhu, and the daughter of the Chen family, Yuanyuan, is a six-grade lady, and I am here!"

"Wow" As the eunuch finished his decree, everyone in the garden couldn't help but make an uproar. Last time, Chongzhen sealed Pang Gang's wife Ruolan as the second grade of the edict, they knew, but they didn't expect this big wedding Chongzhen actually sealed three edicts in one breath, this is something that has never happened in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, is it now that the edict of the Ming Dynasty is no longer valuable?
