Chapter 821: Unconditional Obedience
Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing, Wang Xiaoer and others all arrived at Yongningwei.
Yongningwei was already heavily guarded, and the sailors under Zheng Zhilong withdrew from Yongningwei and camped at sea, waiting for Zheng Zhilong's arrival.
After getting the exact news of Zheng Zhilong's surrender, Zheng Jinhong did not relax his vigilance, he knew very well that Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, and he was already very strong, and he surrendered and surrendered to the Zheng family army without much fighting, and he must not be convinced in his heart.
Zheng Zhilong's unconvincing mind must be suppressed, so as to help Zheng Jiajun comprehensively reorganize the naval division under his command, otherwise after the emergence of unstable factors, the huge profits of maritime trade will be completely lost.
Zheng Xunrui asked Zheng Jiajun to go out and completely control Fujian, but not only to surrender Zheng Zhilong, but also to see the huge profits of maritime trade, such a source of money must not be lost, Zheng Xunrui needs to use money too much, Zheng Jiajun, Huai'an Firearms Bureau, all levels of government and so on, these money can not be passed on to the people, must be obtained from commercial transactions.
Therefore, Zheng Jinhong attaches great importance to Zheng Zhilong's submission, and he must operate it well.
The tenth day of the sixth month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.
Zheng Zhilong finally arrived at Yongningwei.
Riding the Haicang boat to the dock, Zheng Zhilong immediately felt an unusual atmosphere, this is a kind of murderous aura that burst out, although it is not aimed at him Zheng Zhilong, but he can completely feel it, when he was a pirate, he also felt the murderous aura, but there has never been such a shocking atmosphere.
Zheng Zhilong saw the sergeants lined up neatly on the dock.
The murderous aura burst out from the bodies of these sergeants.
Zheng Zhilong's body trembled slightly, and Zheng Zhibao beside him lowered his head.
"General Zheng, I am Wang Xiaoer, a staff general of the Zheng family's army, and I was ordered to wait for General Zheng here."
The aura on Wang Xiaoer's body made Zheng Zhilong's body really tremble, it was an aggressive and murderous aura. And it's the kind of murderous aura that kills people invisibly.
Zheng Zhilong understood that the Zheng family army was a really strong army.
As the chief soldier of Fujian, Zheng Zhilong has seen a lot of the world, to see whether an army is strong, its military discipline and military regulations and the atmosphere it shows are very important, and he has already got a lot of news along the way. After the Zheng army entered Fujian, there was no crime in the autumn, and the people hardly felt anything, after the Zheng army conquered Fuzhou and Quanzhou, they turned around and began to maintain order and ensure the peace of the people's lives, such an army is too rare.
Just feeling the morale of Zheng Jiajun, Zheng Zhilong's heart trembled even more. As a general, he was well aware of the fate of going against such an army.
When everyone walked towards the outside of the dock, some of the Zheng family's soldiers also walked over.
Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao and the others looked at these sergeants, these sergeants walked almost silently, and their walking posture was uniform, as if they were walking alone, and the amplitude of raising their feet was almost the same as the amplitude of swinging their arms, and there was no difference between them.
Many officers who followed Zheng Zhilong. Their faces also changed again, they had never seen an army walking so neatly. Could it be that these sergeants are all poured out of a mold, you must know that such sergeants, when they go to the battlefield, the power that bursts out is huge.
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao rode in a carriage and headed in the direction of Yongningwei.
"Fourth brother, we have to be convinced this time. After arriving at Yongningwei, don't speak, I'll deal with everything, no matter what conditions Zheng Jiajun proposes, we will obey. Don't be unconvinced, Zheng Jiajun is too strong, even if we are ready for everything, we are not their opponents. ”
Contrary to Zheng Zhilong's expectations, Zheng Zhibao also spoke quickly.
"Big brother, I agree with your decision, I also feel it, the Zheng family army is completely different from the imperial army, and it is no wonder that they were able to defeat the Houjin Tartars and completely exterminate Zhang Xianzhong."
The two brothers were in the carriage, and this was the conversation, and then there was silence.
Zheng Zhilong thought a lot, he didn't know what kind of treatment he would face, accepting all the conditions put forward by Zheng Jiajun meant completely giving up his own demands and being at the mercy of Zheng Jiajun, there was no possibility of being killed, if Zheng Jiajun wanted to do this, he would not wait until now, but the possibility of being imprisoned still exists.
What kind of treatment will be suffered by the main sailors under his command, this is also a matter of concern to Zheng Zhilong, thinking that the idea of letting many officers and sergeants make trouble in secret must not be had, and the Zheng family army, which is so strict in military discipline and so murderous, will never let go of those who make trouble in secret.
Zheng Zhilong thought of Zheng Xunrui's letter, in fact, everything was already clear on the letter.
Judging from the content of the letter, there should be no big problem in returning to Shun, at least to keep the glory and wealth.
It is enough to have this.
Zheng Zhilong is also a smart person who knows what to do and what choices to make.
The carriage stopped.
Along the way, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao and others heard the sound of neat horses' hooves, which made them even more surprised, not only the posture of walking was uniform, but even the sound of horses' hooves was the same.
When he got out of the carriage, Zheng Zhilong saw Zheng Jinhong in official uniform and Liu Zeqing in military uniform at a glance.
"Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Tongzhi and the general soldier of Fujian, has seen adults and General Liu."
Needless to introduce, Zheng Zhilong can also know the identities of the two people opposite, the front is Shangshu of the Nanjing Criminal Department, Zheng Jinhong, the chief soldier of the Zheng Family, and the back is Liu Zeqing, the deputy chief soldier of the Zheng Family.
The army behind Zheng Jinhong and Liu Zeqing quickly imprinted into Zheng Zhilong's eyelids, which were about two thousand or so cavalry, all of them riding on horseback, and it was rare that these people were unusually silent, even the war horses were silent.
An invisible murderous aura spreads all around, making people feel uncomfortable.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong was truly convinced, he knew that he had no choice, and submitting to Zheng Jiajun was the best and best choice.
"General Zheng's prestige, I and Deputy General Liu have heard about it for a long time, the water division under General Zheng can be said to be the most powerful water division in the Ming Dynasty, and the stability of Fujian depends on General Zheng's hard work."
Zheng Jinhong said this, which reassured Zheng Zhilong, at least Zheng Jiajun had no malicious intent.
After entering the barracks, the conversation began quickly, and it was actually Zheng Jinhong who made a request.
Zheng Jinhong put forward three requirements, the first is that Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao and their families all go to Nanjing, what official positions are arranged, and the next step is to discuss, Zheng Hongkui's family also goes to Nanjing, Zheng Zhilong writes a letter to Zheng Hongkui, and can ask Zheng Kaihua to come to Nanjing and take up the corresponding official positions.
The second aspect of the requirement, Zheng Zhilong's naval division, all under the Zheng family army, Zheng Jiajun will reorganize and combine the naval division, the officers and troops under its command must obey the reorganization, Zheng Zhilong must do a good job of persuasion in this regard, if anyone resists, will be severely punished.
The third requirement is that Zheng Zhilong hand over all matters related to maritime trade to Zheng Jiajun's sailors, and in the future, Zheng Jiajun's sailors will completely control the maritime trade, and what Zheng Zhilong needs to do is to provide all the relevant information of maritime trade without reservation.
Zheng Jinhong's requirements for these three aspects did not mention the matters on the land at all, and Zheng Zhilong was very clear in this regard, all the things on the land had been resolved, and there was no problem, so there was no need to put it forward.
Accepting these conditions, for Zheng Zhilong, is still a little painful, but the matter has come to this, there is no way not to accept it, only by accepting these conditions, and cooperating with all the matters, Zheng Zhilong and his family can be treated well after arriving in Nanjing, otherwise when they arrive in Nanjing, they will suffer hardships, which is really called the heaven and the earth are not spiritual.
Zheng Zhilong agreed very happily, and immediately took out a map of the route of maritime trade.
This route map is very crucial, covering the maritime trade routes of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, as well as the Ryukyus, and Japan, and no matter where the merchant ships come from, they must sail on these routes, otherwise safety will not be guaranteed.
Zheng Jinhong was very satisfied with Zheng Zhilong's attitude, at this time he thought of the young master, the young master once said that Zheng Zhilong is the pursuit of pragmatism, what kind of choice is best for himself, he doesn't care about the emperor and the court in his bones, judging from today's conversation, it is indeed the case.
In order to get good treatment in Nanjing, Zheng Zhilong cooperated with Zheng Jiajun to do everything.
If this were to be replaced by some pedantic readers, they would definitely not do it.
The negotiations ended in less than an hour.
When Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao were about to walk out of the house, Zheng Jinhong signaled that they didn't need to worry.
Soon, Tagawa and Zheng Sen and others entered the room.
Zheng Zhilong was very excited, stepped forward and patted Zheng Sen's shoulder vigorously.
Zheng Jinhong and the others exited the house and closed the door.
Before Zheng Zhilong could speak, Zheng Sen took the initiative to speak.
"Father, fourth uncle, the child thinks that your choice is correct, these days the child has been following Lord Zheng's side, and has seen the strength of the Zheng family army with his own eyes, when Lord Zheng led the army to attack Anhai Town, it was only more than two hours before and after, and the sergeants stationed outside the mansion could not resist at all."
Zheng Zhilong's body shook slightly, although he had expected it for a long time, Zheng Sen still surprised him when he said it.
"The military discipline of the Zheng family army is unusually strict, after they captured the mansion, they did not enter the mansion to search, and soon all withdrew, all of them were stationed outside the mansion, the child once invited Zheng and General Wang to enter the mansion, but they refused, some of them were stationed in the barracks, the barracks were not enough, many Zheng soldiers of the army camped in the wild, and the children also suggested that they be stationed in the nearby houses, but the order issued by the Zheng people was that no matter who anyone, trespassing on the houses would be carried out by military law, It was the first time the child had seen such a disciplined army. ”
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao both lowered their heads, not knowing what to think. (To be continued.) )
