Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Zheng Zhilong saw the banner of King Jin from afar, and King Jin was able to come to Jinhua, which gave him more confidence in his originally frightened mind.
A herald flaunted his might and galloped over, with a tall figure, a sturdy horse, and the one-in-a-thousand riding skills, all showing off everywhere, and showing the military might of the King of Jin everywhere. When he came to Zheng Zhilong's queue, he handed over a message to Ma Shan: "The prince has sent a message, please ask King Yanping to meet outside the town, don't go to the town to disturb the people."
The guards on the periphery brought the word into the Chinese army, Zheng Zhilonghuan glanced around, and saw that there was a small hill three or four miles away, stepped forward, pointed there with a horsewhip, and said, "How about inviting the King of Jin to go to the hill over there?" ”
The messenger replied to Zhai Zhe.
After a while, ten cavalry on each side of the hill were sent to investigate the area around the hillside to make sure that there was no ambush, and each returned to his own camp to make a report. has only experienced the assassination, and both sides are very cautious. This year, Zhai Zhe's precautionary psychology is particularly strong.
The twenty horsemen stood guard at the foot of the mountain.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhai Zhe went first, followed by Zheng Zhilong, and the two handed over the war horse to the accompanying soldiers at the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain.
There are trees and rocks on the hillside, and the wild grass is uneven, so it is moistened by the spring rain and grows vigorously.
The two of them walked side by side up the mountain for a long time, but they didn't even speak.
In this formation, it seems that whoever speaks first loses the momentum.
At this moment in time, when the news of the fall of Datong reached Quzhou, Zheng Zhilong did not want to pay too high a price for the assassination.
Walking all the way to the top of the mountain, Zhai Zhe stretched his waist and exclaimed: "It's really a good weather"
"Not bad"
"A trip to the mountain with the king of Yanping, the mood is happy"
"King Jin is in a good mood, so he can see good scenery" Zheng Zhilong said with a thorn in his words, and said: "Datong's Jiang Ji is dead, and I haven't been able to sleep well these days, and there is one less person who is fighting against the Qing captives."
"Jiang Zhi is my brother-in-law" Zhai Zhe's heart fluctuated, like a mountain full of weeds moving with the wind.
The wind blows, and the weeds are the same.
"Oh" Zheng Zhilong deliberately dragged out his voice, as if he had just heard the news.
Is this revealing a scar? Zhai Zhe smelled something unusual. He came to Jinhua because of Zheng Zhilong's humility, not because he was in a hurry to deal with the aftermath of the assassination. His voice suddenly turned cold, and he retorted: "Zheng Sen misses his father very much in Nanjing, and King Yanping hasn't been to Nanjing to meet His Majesty for a long time."
It was expected that the calm negotiations in the center were full of gunpowder from the beginning when there was a slight change in the mentality of both sides.
Zheng Zhilong took advantage of the words and said: "If the King of Jin can magnify the return of Mu and reunite my father and son, this king will be grateful."
You think very beautifully, I don't know what confidence you have to say such a thing A smile appeared on Zhai Zhe's face, and two syllables came out from the bottom of his chest: "Hehe"
That smile made Zheng Zhilong look extremely uncomfortable. He was a little flustered, and perhaps his change of mind was very inopportune. He used his leather boots to ravage the grass under his feet until the soles of his feet were covered with green grass juice, and then asked: "King Jin has been in Nanjing for a long time, and he may not know what outsiders think of the prince." ”
Zhai Zhe sideways, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"Everyone in the world says that the king of Jin is Cao Cao, and sooner or later he will usurp the Ming Dynasty", Zheng Zhilong said with full of neutrality, startling a small finch in the grass not far away. He has been a sea servant for more than ten years, and he has disobeyed the court, but he never expected that he could be the emperor. When he said this, he had mixed feelings, warnings and envy.
Zhai Zhe smiled lightly and said: "If you are a small person in the market, you should do whatever he does, as long as Your Majesty trusts me, what can this king worry about?"
"I'm afraid it's not just the people in the market"
Zhai Zhe replied proudly: "How can the tiger care about the wailing of the sheep"
"But......" Zheng Zhilong pursed his lips and said, "Others say that tigers can't stand up to wolves."
From Zhai Zhe's imprisonment of Zheng Sen and the trapping of Zheng's 30,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing, to the opening of the ban in Zhehai, it means that the honeymoon period of cooperation between Zhai Zhe and Zheng has ended. Although the territory of the south is too large to accommodate the two expanding forces, and the two sides do not dare to formally break up now, Zheng Zhilong and Zhai Zhe both know that day will eventually come.
Wolves? Who are the packs of wolves? Qing Yu plus you Zheng? Zhai Zhe's patience gradually eroded, the smile on his face stiffened, and he asked rhetorically, "Is it?" ”
Zheng Zhilong carefully speculated about Zhai Zhe's intentions, and felt that he did not dare to break with the Zheng family, and said: "Please let the King of Jin be gracious, let my father and son reunite, and those Zheng soldiers and horses in Nanjing City have been guarding the Yangtze River defense line, King Jin doesn't want to chill the people of the world, right?" ”
Back then, Zuo Liangyu was able to raise troops in the name of "Qingjun Side", and of course the Zheng family could also. He said that Zhai Zhe was like Cao Cao, which already implied a warning. Zheng's sailors are still invincible in the world, if Zhai Zhe breaks with Zheng, there will be no peace along the south coast.
However, he was wrong.
"After listening to the words of King Yanping, I feel that I have done something wrong" Zhai Zhe was in a calm mood, and his voice was also calm, like the rustle of the spring breeze through the weeds.
How could a tiger be disturbed by the thought of a flock, even if it was a wild wolf, he would turn a blind eye.
Sometimes he is kind, sometimes he will never budge. The name of King Jin is not a concession. His occasional kindness was unconsciously mixed with pity, and only those who had no power to resist him were more likely to receive it, and obviously Zheng Zhilong was not among them.
"What's the matter?"
"When I cut He Tengjiao that day, I should add one more person"
Zheng Zhilong's hands trembled slightly, unable to tell whether it was fear or anger. For many years, since he dominated the Minhai Sea after defeating Liu Xiang at sea, no one dared to threaten him.
"I will spare Zheng Sen's life because I look at the face of King Yanping, and now it seems that I was wrong" Zhai Zhe turned around and walked directly down the mountain.
"King of Jin" Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhai Zhe's back and shouted: "The Zheng family still has 100,000 children" He is a generation of heroes on the sea, and after taking Guangdong Province, his confidence has swelled a lot, but he just wants to be dominant at sea.
Zhai Zhe walked forward, Zheng Zhilong looked at it for a moment, and followed closely behind him, his steps were a little vain, and the panic in his heart finally appeared on his face.
The voice in front of me came along the wind, "If I don't even have this bit of guts, I would have taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty earlier, how could I raise troops in eastern Zhejiang?"
Both of them were walking quietly, which was a torture for both sides, and if the two broke up, the situation could slip into an unpredictable place.
It's a game. Zhai Zhe has prepared for the worst, and war is not something that can be avoided by dodging.
Almost halfway up the mountain, Zheng Zhilong finally shouted: "King Jin, Xianxia Pass must not be handed over to you."
Zhai Zhe's footsteps stagnated, and then continued to move forward, but the degree of walking slowed down.
"I will pay the taxes of Fujian and Guangdong for three years to the imperial court"
Zhai Zhe's footsteps stopped. The soldiers waiting at the foot of the mountain saw the two princes coming back from a distance, and each prepared his war horse.
"How can I trust you?"
Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth, he knew that there was no escape from that incident, and lowered his voice and said: "I am willing to leave Damu in Nanjing as a proton" He didn't want the soldiers waiting at the foot of the mountain to hear.
Zhai Zhe turned around, he was smiling, smiling very proudly, and his mood was very comfortable. Zheng Zhilong's heart flashed with shame and anger
"The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing City can be withdrawn to Fujian, but the 10,000 sailors still need to stay on the Yangtze River defense line, and they can return after a year" He groaned slightly, and then said: "Zheng Sen, I will only keep him for five years"
Five years can give birth to a lot of things. Five years ago, he was still conscripting the Bald Army.
"As King Jin wishes," Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth. He really cared about that son, who was his only son.
Zhai Zhe looked to the south and said, "Also, in order to avoid misunderstanding, it is best not to garrison troops in Quzhou Prefecture."
"Good"
After arguing for a long time, it only took a few words to reach an agreement.
Zhai Zhe thought about it, felt that there was nothing missing, and said loudly: "On the day when the king of Yanping entered the capital to meet His Majesty, this king must be upside down to greet him" After saying this, he turned around and walked down the mountain quickly, took the reins from the guards, and turned over on the horse.
Ten guards galloped away with him.
Zheng Zhilong saw the cavalry go far away, stayed for a while, and also went down the mountain and rode back to the barracks.
The framework for the agreement reached by the two princes, and the remaining details need to be discussed by Zheng Cai in Nanjing in detail. For example, who is the commander of the water division, when will the 20,000 soldiers of the Western Battalion return to Fujian, and where will Zheng Sen be placed in the city of Nanjing.
This agreement may have guaranteed peace between the Zheng and Jin kings for 6 years. But Zheng Zhilong will never watch the maritime merchants of Zhejiang Sea seize his maritime trade profits in Japan. The battle at sea is indescribable, Zheng Zhilong started as a pirate, and the sailor can pretend to be a pirate. As long as there is no obvious handle, the court is helpless.
Thirty miles away, two hundred cavalry walked slowly for half an hour. When Jinhua City appeared in front of him, two forces of soldiers and horses rushed over from both wings. Meng Kang and Zhang Huangyan saw the banner of the King of Jin and each led their troops and horses to greet him.
"Is that ball honest?" Meng Kang patted his chest, and the leaves of his armor made a rattle.
Zhai Zhe scolded with a smile: "With you, can he be dishonest?" ”
Zhang Huangyan saw that he was in a good mood, and his heart was implemented.
When everyone returned to Jinhua City, Zhai Zhe did not reveal the content of the agreement to the two people, but he called Zhang Huangyan and Meng Kang over and gave them a good meal.
"The king of Yanping will withdraw his troops soon, and the Quzhou government will not garrison troops, but the garrison of Jinhua City should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, if the king of Yanping rebels and captures Jinhua, he can directly threaten Hangzhou and Ningshao, and Zhejiang is in danger."
Zhang Huangyan was frightened when he heard it, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only agree.
Zhai Zhe instructed Meng Kang again: "Your position was originally the general army of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese army, but you are not familiar with water warfare, I will transfer Chen Huwei back to strengthen the defense of Zhejiang, and you and he must cooperate with him to ensure the safety of maritime merchants and the coast of Zhejiang." ”
Defending the land is also the duty of the governor of Zhejiang. According to the latest system of the imperial court, only the general can mobilize the regular soldiers, and Zhang Huangyan, as the governor of Zhejiang, can only use the government soldiers.
Zhai Zhejiu has been in the army for a long time and knows the disadvantages of inconsistent orders. His eyes were like electricity, and he swept back and forth a few times on the two of them, and ordered: "If the situation is urgent, all soldiers and horses in Zhejiang need to be dispatched by Zhang Cangshui."
"Obey" replied crisply.
