People who only have the survival of the country in their eyes often have to give up their family affection.

Zheng Sen never thought that his father had made much concessions for him. Perhaps because of his failure, the Zheng family returned to the track that his father envisioned.

However, he did not give up.

For the sake of Daming? Maybe he really thinks so in his heart, but Zheng is not his head now.

"Shizi, you're thinking too much" Zheng Cai carefully picked up the tea bowl. He came to Nanjing to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with Zheng Sen, before he came he was worried that Zheng Sen would collapse, and now he even expects Zheng Sen to become a little decadent.

"Thinking too much?" Zheng Sen got up and walked slowly to the door.

There was sunshine outside, but there was also cold snow.

"I'm locked up here alone, what else can I do but think nonsense?" Zheng Sen's gaze fell on the high wall dozens of feet away, and his voice was very lonely, similar to the radical him before.

It was a time of great power, and he was imprisoned within the walls. By the time he walked out of Nanjing City, Hai Nei had already been calmed, and he believed in the ability of King Jin.

The assassination was indeed a conspiracy, but a King of Jin who could tolerate the survival of many of the masterminds involved in the assassination would soon make the entire Jiangnan bow down to him.

He survived, but he lived even more desperately.

Zheng Sen said: "After Wu Sangui returned to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court has lost the ability to go south. If my father can take the opportunity to take down Jiangnan, rely on the Yangtze River defense line, and support the saint to return to the throne, it will be worth it for me to die in Nanjing."

This time Zheng Cai heard it clearly, and he also stood up, not knowing where to put his hands. He had always been intimate with Zheng Sen, but at this moment, he had never understood the young son in front of him.

Zheng Sen hasn't seen anyone he can communicate with for a long time, so there are a lot of words today.

"Will Daddy listen to me?" He turned around and muttered to himself, smiled bitterly, returned to his seat and sat down, and said, "He won't listen to my persuasion, he only wants Min Yue, but when the King of Jin pacifies the Qing Dynasty, how can Min Yue belong to the Zheng family?" You are a sensible person, and I can only rely on you to spread the word to my father."

Zheng Cai muttered: "One qiē needs to be considered in the long run!"

He didn't understand how Zheng Sen was locked up in this high wall and got the news of the outside world.

Sitting on the chair and drinking two cups of tea, Zheng Sen's slightly excited feelings calmed down, raised his face and said, "This may be the last chance."

"I will convey the words of the prince to the prince"

Zheng Cai was about to say more, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Zheng Qian's voice came in: "Zheng Zongbing, your things have been sent in."

Zheng Cai hurriedly got up and went out, and after seeing Zheng Sen, he knew that he didn't need to bring these things, but these were also a piece of the prince's heart.

Zheng Sen sat in his seat and drank tea.

The guards outside were helping to unload the goods, and there was a lot of commotion.

When he first saw Zheng Cai, he said everything in his heart, but he knew that unless there was an unexpected change in business, his father would probably not listen.

He knew what kind of man his father was, and his father knew what kind of man he was. Perhaps his father was not so angry that the King of Jin had left him in Nanjing.

The Zheng family can only have one person at the helm, and he doesn't know if there is a chance.

Even if he really ascends to the position of the head of the Zheng family, the world doesn't know if he will leave him a chance.

In three days, Chinese New Year's Eve finally arrived.

Zheng Cai stayed in Nanjing until the seventh day of the first lunar month.

During these seven days, he gave Zheng Sen a detailed account of Zheng's progress during the year. Under Zheng Zhilong's painstaking management, the Minhai and Yuehai seas all the way to the South Seas were owned by the Zheng family, and the fleets of both the West and the South were to act under the banner of the Zheng family. However, the number of merchant ships going to sea in Zhejiang Sea has increased this year, and trade to the East has shrunk by 30%. The stalls spread by the Zheng family were much larger, but the imperial court increased taxes on raw silk and porcelain, and the profits were not as good as last year. Guangdong is rich in products, and the Zheng family is trying to get rid of the influence of Jiangnan.

Zheng Sen listened very carefully, and sometimes even asked very detailed questions.

He has a big heart, but he also knows that the ocean is the foundation of the Zheng family.

King Jin is far-sighted, but he is actually already doing something to the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong's gains in taking Guangdong were offset by several trivial tactics by the imperial court.

If you don't go crazy, you can only die.

The vast majority of Ming people are unfamiliar with the ocean and are afraid, and when these people are in charge of the discourse of the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty's ocean road has gone astray.

Now, however, anyone who is not too dull can see that the ocean brings silver.

Zhai Zhe is also not familiar with the sea, but he needs silver, and at the same time, he also has to suppress the strength of the Zheng family.

Every year when the monsoon arrives, the route from Daming to the Wa Kingdom begins to be busy. Because the cost of transporting goods to Fujian by waterway is smaller than that of taking 6 routes, and the tax collection is less, the prosperity of Ningbo Mansion is about to catch up with Songjiang Mansion in only half a year.

Soon after Zheng Cai went south, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Huwei and Chen Zhigao, the two Chens of Taizhou who were in charge of Zhehai, were ordered to come to Nanjing to perform their duties.

The herald of the Jin Palace's herald came out of Nanjing City, marking that the King of Jin had escaped from the state of Spring Festival leisure.

There are a lot of things to be done this year than last year, Zong Mao and Yao Qisheng took office in Nanzhili and Huguang respectively and monopolized power, two young and energetic magistrates, whipped the fast horse, so that the footsteps of Daming could not stop at all.

In April last year, the ban on opening the sea was implemented, and for most of the year, the king of Jin went to Ningbo Mansion for a private visit to Weifu, and the batch of officials summoned in Longwu for five years was Zhehai Erchen, which shows that he attaches great importance to the marine strategy.

Chen Huwei and Chen Zhigao came to Nanjing together, they used to have some small grievances, but now they are the closest comrades-in-arms.

The two came to the Jin Palace, and the housekeeper Ning Sheng was busy directing his servants to hang red lanterns under the eaves.

The festive atmosphere in front of the palace is easy to overlook, and it is still winter at the moment.

In the shade of the ridge, you can still see the dustpan of remnant snow, and there is no trace of winter elsewhere

After receiving the notice from the doorman, Zhai Zhe immediately summoned the two.

He has on his desk confidential documents sent some years ago. Chen Huwei has outstanding military achievements, but he is greedy and cruel, but where can he find a sailor commander with both virtue and art?

Erchen still came to the Jin Palace's mansion for the second time, Chen Zhigao was cautious, and Chen Huwei was full of spirit.

Zhai Zhe glanced at it, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.

It is difficult to change a person's character, and Chen Zhigao once preferred to be a fisherman rather than a pirate, which shows that he has scruples and perseverance. Chen Huwei is obviously different, when he recruited him in Ningshao, Zhai Zhe knew that this person was a sharp blade that was difficult to manipulate, and if used well, it could hurt others, and if it was not manipulated properly, it could also hurt himself.

He first named Chen Huwei and asked, "Chen Huwei, what have you done since you returned to Ningbo in the past six months?" His words were very interesting, but Chen Huwei didn't seem to feel it.

His answer was succinct: "Arrest the thief"

There are maritime merchants in the sea, and there are pirates, and Chen Huwei has been spending time in the campaign since he was transferred back to Ningshao.

Some pirates are Zhejiang people who have no capital, and there are many brave and ruthless Taizhou people who go to sea to be partners for maritime merchants, but there are also many pirates.

More pirates of unknown origin, like ghosts roaming the sea, appearing and disappearing. Most of these pirates operated around the shipping route from Ningbo to the Japanese Kingdom, and the vast sea was not in sight, and they could not stop all the merchant ships.

The origin of the pirates is concealed, but the accents of the pirates cannot deceive people. From Fujian to the Zhejiang Sea is thousands of miles away, Chen Huwei can't catch their traces on the sea, but the pirates can't stay in the Zhejiang Sea for a long time without establishing a stronghold, so he has almost been attacking the fortified cottages, and all the cottages that he has captured, the chickens and dogs will not stay.

Zhai Zhe then asked: "How is the current situation in Zhehai?" ”

Chen Huwei said proudly: "Recently, pirates have been catching more and more, but there is always an end of time."

His arrogance collided with Zhai Zhe's eyes, so Zhai Zhe narrowed his eyes.

Since the anti-shaving order, Chen Huwei entered Hangzhou City, invaded Songjiang Mansion, and Kouyang Prefecture, and no one in the naval division had fought against him. In just two years, he was promoted from a thousand commanders to a general soldier, and he was only knighted.

Zheng's sailors are very strong, and Zhehai needs people like Chen Huwei to deal with pirates in disguise.

"It's good that you have this confidence, I hope that Zhejiang and Haihai will settle down" Zhai Zhe's eyes turned to Chen Zhigao and asked: "How are the profits of maritime merchants this year?" ”

Chen Zhigao took a step forward, looked at the place in front of him, and said: "Some people are profitable, some people are shipwrecked, but the goods that go to sea from Ningbo this year are ten times that of last year." ”

Zhai Zheluo groaned and said: "The sea is vast, the strength of the sailors of the imperial court is limited, you have to organize a maritime guild, and the major fleets must assist each other to fight against pirates." ”

Chen Zhigao said: "The lower officials are doing this"

Merchant ships are equipped with iron cannons, and it is impossible for Zheng's sailors to put a huge fleet floating in the Zhejiang Sea all the time, so sometimes pirates may not be able to take advantage of large caravans.

"A few shipbuilding workshops have only started this year, and you, as the chief officer of the Ship Division, should try your best to support the shipbuilding workshops" Zhai Zhe instructed Chen Zhigao a little more, he was only afraid that Chen Zhigao would not be able to let go.

The king of Jin completely delegated power and handed over Zhehai to the people who had begged for a living in the sea, but the king of Jin had to see results within a year or two.

Zhehai is chaotic and prosperous, Chen Zhigao and Chen Huwei are the masters here, they can easily achieve a rich family, but they also bear a huge pressure.

"Zhehai is very important," Zhai Zhe emphasized, "Maritime is the foundation of Zhehai, no matter what you do, you must promote the growth of maritime business, if the goods from Ningbo to the sea become less, you go home and pick up your children." ”

His words were unusually harsh.

"I heard that there are disputes between maritime merchants" He looked at Chen Zhigao and said, "It's your business"

"General Chen's duty is to protect the safety of maritime merchants" Zhai Zhe turned his face to stare at Chen Zhigao, and said word by word: "The imperial court has asked the governor of Zhejiang, the Yamen, to control the Zhejiang Sea Division, and set up the Tonghai Yamen to specifically accept cases from the sea, so as to eliminate the chaos in the Zhejiang Sea. ”

Chen Huwei was stunned. It's really not good news in the New Year, and no one likes to be shackled. He has stood at the top of the food chain in Zhejiang and Haihai for half a year, and he is really like an emperor.

"The sea is also the land of the Ming Dynasty, and wherever the Ming people set foot, they must abide by the "Ming Law".

King Jin has something to say, Er Chen understands in his heart.
