There is no doubt that Quanzhou is prosperous as the nest of Zheng Jiajing for more than ten years, and there are hundreds of ships coming in and out of Quanzhou port every day, but today's originally prosperous port has become extraordinarily quiet. Dozens of huge warships surrounded the entire harbor, and groups of soldiers in green uniforms and armed with Mini-style muskets were walking down the dock from the ships, these were the personal soldiers who followed the sailors, numbering about 1,000 at the end of the month.
On the dock, Zheng Zhilong, the emperor of Quanzhou Mansion in the past and the sea overlord of the entire South Seas, led hundreds of leaders and thousands of sailors under his command, and all bowed respectfully and stood on the dock waiting for the arrival of the people, and many people's eyes were still secretly looking at the huge warship quietly docked on the dock.
When Yue Yang walked down accompanied by Guo Jingxian and other generals of the Navy, Zheng Zhilong took the lead and walked up to Yue Yang, bowed deeply to Yue Yang, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Zhilong, the general of the defeated army, has seen the Marquis of Zhongyong!" ”
As soon as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, a loud shout sounded on the side: "Bold Zheng Zhilong, since you know that you are the general of the defeated army, why didn't you kneel when you saw the Hou Ye, don't you know that you have been dismissed and investigated by the imperial court?" ”
The person who made the outburst was Yue Yang's personal soldier captain Chen Dazhi, who saw that Zheng Zhilong, as the general of the defeated army, did not kneel down after seeing his own boss, and his temper immediately came.
Everyone's eyes also looked at Zheng Zhilong, at this time, Zheng Zhilong's face immediately became iron-blue, and then turned red, thinking that he Zheng Zhilong had been a big man for more than ten years and so many years, only others had to kneel for him, who dared to let him kneel, and now when he heard that someone made him kneel, a killing intent immediately surged into his heart.
It's just that when Zheng Zhilong's eyes swept over Yue Yang's seemingly smiling but cold face, Zheng Zhilonggao was as if he had been drenched from his head by a basin of cold water. Only then did he remember that he was no longer a coastal defense guerrilla general, but the other party was the most powerful relative of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it ridiculous that tens of millions of people in Shanxi, Shandong, and Liaodong, as well as tens of thousands of elite loyal and brave marquis, want to pay attention to what kind of shelves in front of others? If you displease the other party, don't talk about yourself, I'm afraid that your cronies and tens of thousands of brothers will be implicated.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong's body trembled, his knees weakened and knelt down towards Yue Yang, and he whispered: "Zheng Zhilong, the general of the defeated army, has met the Marquis of Zhongyong, and I hope that the Marquis will forgive him for his unreasonable things!" ”
Zheng Zhilong knelt like this, and the generals behind him knelt down with him.
Seeing this scene, Yue Yang didn't stop it, but waited until everyone knelt down before he said in a deep voice: "Zheng Zhilong, you were originally a pirate, and it can be said that you are guilty of a lot of sin in robbing houses and slaughtering merchants on weekdays. By the emperor's grace to reward you with the position of guerrilla general, but you are not only not grateful, but still indulge your subordinates to plunder, in recent years, it has repeatedly been against the imperial court sailors, the emperor can not bear it, so he issued an order to exempt you from your official position and let you go to Beijing to report on your work, but you not only failed to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, but took the initiative to attack the Weihai Wei sailors, which can be described as a great crime, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, you should be punished for your crimes! ”
Speaking of this, Yue Yang's voice was indescribably cold. Hearing this, not only Zheng Zhilong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled again, but everyone kneeling on the side also felt chills in their hearts, is this the rhythm of settling accounts after the autumn, but it's too fast, right?
Yue Yang didn't know what these people were thinking. He didn't bother either. For Zheng Zhilong's whole person, Yue Yang really doesn't think very much, historically, he looks fierce on the surface, and this kind of thing is just a pediatric for him. But in essence, it belongs to the type of lust and inwardness. In front of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, not only did they not resist, but they surrendered in a hurry, but even then it didn't end well. The daughter-in-law committed suicide after being raped by the Qing soldiers and didn't dare to say a word, even so, those wild boar skins didn't let him go, and then they dragged him out and clicked, and he was not surprised that Zheng Zhilong would surrender to Yueyang, and the hardness of the bones was far worse than that of his son Zheng Chenggong.
Seeing Zheng Zhilong's appearance of kneeling on the ground, a little unwilling but helpless, Yue Yang smiled coldly in his heart, but the surface work still had to be done, he took two steps forward and raised his hands and said, "Master Zheng, you get up." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Zheng Zhilong, who was ashamed and angry, felt that he had lost face, but what could he do at this time, after all, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. Now that the life and death of him and his brothers are all in the hands of the loyal and brave marquis in front of him, if he provokes a dissatisfaction with others, I am afraid that today next year will be the death day of his group.
looked at Zheng Zhilong standing aside and looked a little hesitant to speak, "Okay, let's stop here, let's find a place to talk." After speaking, Yue Yang took the lead and walked forward.
Two quarters of an hour later, Yue Yang and his party came to the Zheng Mansion, walked into the magnificent gate and passed through the pavilion and pavilion attic, Yue Yang couldn't help but smile at Zheng Zhilong who was following him: "Lord Zheng, this house is even more magnificent than the Hou Mansion of Benhou, it is really rare!" ”
Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong's heart, which was already a little apprehensive, twitched violently again, what did Yue Yang mean by this? Could it be that you are making excuses to clean yourself up so quickly?
Two quarters of an hour later, Yue Yang looked at Zheng Zhilong, who was standing in front of him nervously, and said, "Lord Zheng, you don't have to worry, since Benhou accepted your surrender, he won't hurt your life." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly bowed down again and thanked him.
"Don't thank me yet!" Yue Yang waved his hand: "I will give you two ways to go now: one is that you and your family leave the Ming Dynasty to settle in Japan or overseas to spend their old age, and second, you take your men to Nanyang to continue the war for Benhou, which one do you choose?" ”
Zheng Zhilong was a little stunned, looked at Yue Yang in disbelief and said, "Master Hou, do you still plan to use villains?" ”
"It depends on your performance?" Yue Yang said noncommittally: "You can't stay in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, either you live in seclusion or work hard for Benhou, you choose one yourself, right?" ”
Zheng Zhilong's face showed a look of struggle, and it took him a long time before he let out a long wry smile: "Master Hou, the villain should go to Nagasaki to stay, the villain is also tired after living a life of licking blood with a knife over the years." ”
"That's it!" Yue Yang nodded: "You prepare, and take your family to Nagasaki in a few days." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Zheng Zhilong just wanted to say thanks, but heard Yue Yang ask softly: "Zheng Zhilong, I heard that you have a son who teaches Zheng Sen very well, Ben Hou wants him to study in Weihaiwei's Sailor Academy for a few years, what do you think?" ”
"What?" Zheng Zhilong's heart began to shake again. (To be continued......)
