The news that the Australians gave 200 rifles to Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, was no secret, and even the Zheng family in Fuzhou knew about it, and they also knew that Shen Youlong had invited Australian officers to Guangzhou to personally train 200 recruits.

Such an important news, the Zheng family's meticulous work in Guangzhou did not dare to hide the slightest, although this matter has nothing to do with the Zheng family on the surface, but who knows if the head of the family will ask one day. The honest craftsmen reported the news truthfully.

After Zheng Zhilong heard this, the expression on his face did not change, and the other leaders of the Zheng family did not make a sound, and when it came to the eldest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Sen showed a look of envy, like a man who had been isolated in the mountains for a long time and had never seen a woman, with a smile on his face.

Several uncles of the Zheng family saw Zheng Sen in such a scene, and they all despised each other fiercely in their hearts, they all knew that your eldest son Zheng was fascinated by the firearms and military books used by Australians, but your eldest young master didn't need to be such a nymphomaniac, if this was passed out, what kind of system, where would the Zheng family's face go?

Ignoring the eyes of everyone in the Zheng family and the contempt in their hearts, the young man surnamed Guo was a young man who was studious for a year at this time, and he was not so small in his heart.

"Father, the child is going to go to Guangzhou to meet General He, and observe in his military camp for some time to learn the method of military training, please agree." Although Zheng Sen also created a small-scale musket team, and his usual training methods were also learned from books donated by Australians, he always felt that the soldiers he had to train himself still could not match the training of Australians.

Now that he has such an opportunity, how can he not seize it, saying that he has some friendship with He Yu, and he is not afraid of being turned away from the tent and not allowed to enter.

However, Zheng Zhilong, who loves and hates Australians, doesn't want his son to be too fascinated by Australians, Australia's old firearms are indeed sharp, but the Zheng family wants to take the advanced route, since being recruited, Zheng Zhilong plans to transform the Zheng family, and he doesn't want his son to take over some things that can't be put on the table.

Don't look at the current prosperity of Australians, even there are not many topics about them in the court, that is because the civil and military officials of the entire court are worried about the four rebellions in various places and have no time to deal with them, as long as they slow down to ensure that there are no unlucky days for Australians,

As a member of the Ming court, the Zheng family, and Zheng Zhilong, who vowed to successfully transform the Zheng family, would certainly not agree to Zheng Sen.

"Sen'er, my father knows that you are good friends with Australia, and I also want to learn the method of training the army in Australia, but after all, there is a difference between the outside and the outside, and business dealings are normal, if the personal relationship is too deep, I am afraid that my Zheng family will be controlled by others."

Zheng Zhilong's words were nodded and affirmed by his other brothers, and in their hearts, what the eldest brother Zheng Zhilong said was right, except for Zheng Hongkui, Lao Zheng's other brothers were all brave and unscrupulous. Where do you think about anything, as long as it is what the eldest brother tells you to do.

"Father, how can you have such an idea, although there is some misunderstanding between the Australians and my Zheng family, but it is already a thing of the past, since it has passed, why should my father be bothering, after all, we have also earned a lot of silver taels by relying on the agency of Australian goods."

In Zheng Sen's opinion, his father disagreed entirely because of the naval battle between Australia and the Zheng family, although the naval battle was not made public, but after all, such a big thing happened, and it was impossible to hide it.

This naval battle called into question the prestige of the Zheng family, and at the same time made Zheng Zhilong, who had been begging for a living at sea, angry, never thought that he would be beaten at sea and had no power to fight back, this was his shame, although he didn't say it in his mouth, Zheng Sen was the one who knew his father best, how could he not see it.

But this time, Zheng Sen did guess Lao Zheng's idea wrongly, Lao Zheng did not disagree because of this matter, but did not want his son with a good future to get too close to the Australians, and if the Australians were unlucky in the future, they would implicate their sons.

"Being a father will be such an immeasurable person in Sen'er's heart," Zheng Zhilong looked at his son and laughed, "For my father not to let you go, it is for the sake of your future, this Australian knowledge and military training method may not be useful in Daming, the living habits between the two places are completely different, if you use the same method, it will definitely not work." ”

Lao Zheng's statement is actually somewhat reasonable, but it depends on who said this, if it is an adult who has a more mature mind, he may be able to listen to it, but the national surname Zheng Sen is not so easy to listen to, otherwise when Lao Zheng later took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and wrote a letter to him to take refuge, he would not refuse sternly, of course, there is also a certain Zheng Zhilong like the Manchu Qing Dynasty to ask for more rewards, so that Zheng Sen can resist the Qing Dynasty in the coastal area of Fujian for the sake of capital.

At the moment, Lao Zheng disagrees, but it doesn't mean that Zheng Sen will give up so easily, for a young man with ideals and ambitions, he will not give in in the face of all difficulties, even in the face of his father.

Although Zheng Sen has a little understanding of the training and formation methods of the Australians from the book, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is in-depth, and he himself knows this very well, so he is determined to learn from the Australians, how to use firearms to fight, and how to infantry.

If these things are placed in the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely not be passed on, after all, a person who has mastered a new method of training troops and the way of arranging troops is equivalent to standing at the highest point of victory, and people who are not close to him will never pass it on, which is why there are many reasons why there are many unique schools in China over the ages.

Even in the 21st century, in the era of great openness, many people see the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation and are not willing to teach it to outsiders. Therefore, Zheng Sen is very worthy of cherishing having such an opportunity.

Since the Australians can help Shen Youlong train soldiers, he will naturally not object to go there to observe and study for a while, and he has some friendship with He Yu, and He Yu also invited him to come and learn Australia's military training method if he has nothing to do that day.

Since his father disagreed, he had to think of other ways, Zheng Sen's eyes swept back and forth on several uncles, and when he saw the fourth uncle Zheng Hongkui, he deliberately blinked a few times, as if he was asking the other party to say something good in front of his father for himself, and his relationship with several uncles on weekdays was the most intimate and the most talked about by the fourth uncle.

As Zheng Hongkui, who knows his eldest brother best, how can he not know the meaning of Zheng Sen's eyes, but when Zheng Sen looked at him, he deliberately traced his eyes elsewhere, and at this time, let the eldest brother agree with his nephew's opinion, whether or not, maybe he will be preached.

In desperation, Zheng Sen had to look at the branches in the courtyard outside the hall that were gently blown by the breeze. (To be continued.) )
