I heard that the eldest son, Zhu Chenggong, the king of Yanping in the former Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Shisen, the king of Haicheng in the Great Qing Dynasty, said that "father and son should be in the same town in Zhangxia", and the former Ming Nan Anhou and the King of Tongan in the Great Qing Dynasty said viciously "self-defeating", which reduced the atmosphere of the family meeting to the freezing point!

"The father is angry, what is wrong with the son?" Zheng Shisen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but he was "stubborn radish" and generally had to ask why.

"Alas, get up and speak, my King Haicheng!"

Zheng Zhilong pretended to be helpless and beckoned his son to get up and sit down again. But this kneeling together gave the treacherous and cunning King Tong'an an an an advantage, and he had enough confidence to speak later.

"You and I, father and son are kings in one place, and we only care about staring at the eyes, isn't it abandoning the sea route, which is tantamount to killing ourselves." Lao Tzu began to teach his two sons, one older and one younger.

"Not only that, you and I are in one place, even if one goes away to Fuzhou and the other stays in Jinxia, Zuihou can only let others take advantage of the situation to catch turtles in the urn."

"Father, are you saying that the court will one day be treacherous? I'll just say it......" Zheng Shisen heard the prediction he wanted to hear, and hurriedly responded "stupidly".

"Son, the current emperor is a sage with affection and righteousness, and he naturally won't be like this. But the situation is unpredictable, and we can't afford not to guard against it. The emperor is not speechless, he is afraid that someone will calculate us sooner or later! Zheng Zhilong said with confidence.

"Oh, didn't Shizhong say that little Belle Xuanye is also extremely smart?" King Haicheng, who doesn't know the situation, still looks like he "doesn't know the essentials".

"Little Belle Lord...... I don't think he's going to bother himself. Besides, the emperor is in his prime, and it is too early for him to cover the sky with one hand...... I'm afraid...... The old 'head of the house' in the deep palace will not be able to stand it. ”

"Father. You mean the emperor's wife? ”

"Hmmm! After all, she is the old root of Manchuria! When he returned to the court for his father, but he was coerced to go north, I am afraid that in addition to Boluo's fake benevolence and righteousness, this old lady's tricks are indispensable behind it! After all, if we stay by the sea, we are real dragons who can make waves! When we leave the ship, we are fish and meat to be slaughtered, and others are swordsmen! Zheng Zhilong pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice.

"I see, my father is clever! So what are we Father and Son doing? Zheng Shizhong, who was on the side, recalled all kinds of incidents he had heard and witnessed. "First, I understood my father's deep meaning." Hurriedly asked.

"What do you do? It's better to be one step ahead of others......" Zheng Shisen seemed to see hope again, and was ready to try to move his father again.

"Sen'er! Calm down! This is far from being unavoidable. Besides, when I made a clear oath for my father and the emperor, I still heard the sound of 'never return to the court'. How can you rashly betray the alliance? After all, he was a pirate at the beginning of his father. This is an anti-imperial court; Rebelled. This is the second anti; The back is clear, and it is already a three-fold reversal. If it is reversed again, won't it be a confirmation of the infamy of faithlessness, unrighteousness, and capriciousness? The eldest husband is alive. Or still seek some good name. In his father's life, Zuihou can only be the second minister of the Qing Dynasty, and he has to do it with all his heart. ”

Zheng Zhilong said helplessly, but he also meant it. Speaking of his "unbearable past", he is quite detached from nature, showing the nature of maritime businessmen seeking truth from facts and being unreasonable. It's just that a pair of eyes are looking at the two sons "dripping", especially the second son, who seems to be more scheming than the eldest son.

"Father, son understood. But the eldest brother is still in the prime of life, what should he do? Sure enough, the smart and clever Zheng Shizhong took over his father's deep intentions.

"Hehe, once a son of heaven and a courtier. You will have to look at one step at a time in the future, and you don't have to stick to Lao Tzu's rules and regulations. What's more, the ancients often said that 'Hu people have no luck for a hundred years', and I can't wait for that day......" Zheng Zhilong glanced at his second son with satisfaction, and then waited with great expectation for his eldest son to "open his mind".

"Father, my son was rude in the past, and I ask my father to punish him!" Zheng Shisen, who finally "understood", also expressed his heartfelt position.

"Father and son blood, what is the punishment? Haha, you can understand the hard work of a father. Zheng Zhilong got his wish, and the first battle of "Warm Card" was successful!

"Even so, the son can't sit still, and ask the father to show it." King Haicheng looked at his scheming and hidden father with a pair of honest eyes.

"It is true that you can't sit still, and to stay in Fujian is to sit and wait. Although Zhangzhou can rush to the aid of Jinxia near and withdraw the whole of Fujian as far away, it is subject to the shape of Fujian, and it is indeed inconvenient to go west and north, and it is not a place where you and my father and son can stay for a long time. Moreover, Sen'er had already made the Moon Port under the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou two years ago different from what it used to be, and it could not be used. Zheng Zhilong smiled and teased his eldest son.

"My son is foolish!"

"Sen'er, don't take it seriously. Even if Yuegang is the same, it is not important to be a father. In terms of being blessed, Sen'er's vision is indeed exquisite. The port of Xiamen is deep and wide, and it is really a great place for troops to dock ships. It's just ......"

"Please also ask my father to train me." Zheng Shisen's attitude is surprisingly good.

"Well, although the land of golden mansions is good, it is not the first place. The maritime merchants who come from the south to the north are now accustomed to docking at the coast of Fujian, if he is engaged in maritime trade in the future, his father thinks that there is another key point, but it is the right one! ”

"Oh? Is it Fuzhou? "Zheng Shizhong is not very familiar with things at sea, so he is suspicious.

"Hehe, Fuzhou is not even as convenient as Xiamen. Shizhong said nonsense...... "Zheng Zhilong's temper is as good as ever, only blame, not blame."

"Zhangzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, and Jinxia is not the first place. So where is the top? Please also ask my father to train clearly! Zheng Shisen repeated the request again.

"Hehe, if you talk about trade for profit, Guangzhou is important. If you talk about living and living, Taiwan Island is the top! Finally, Zheng Zhilong gave his "correct answer"!

"Guangzhou...... Taiwan's ...... "Zheng Shisen must be taken seriously this time!"

"Exactly! After the imperial court recovered Guangzhou, the place became more and more prosperous. If the imperial court can open up land and sea trade, over time, it will inevitably become the first choice for Chinese maritime merchants. Moreover, the imperial court has appointed Dong Dayong and Dong Yangshan [1] as the chief military officers of the Guangzhou Prefecture Water Division, and this person is quite capable of water warfare. It shows the general outline of the imperial court! ”

"The son understands that the road in the hinterland of Guangdong is flat and not as rugged as Fujian. Its open sea is unobstructed from north to south, and it is important to hold the key points, so it has a lot to do! Zheng Shisen made an in-depth comment, and it hit the nail on the head!

"Sen'er is very smart!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly affirmed, and then said:

"When I was a father, I wanted to enter Guangdong and open up a foundation for you, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into the way of Bolo Lao'er!"

"Father is very far-sighted! Bolo's hatred is really hateful! Zheng Shizhong explained. In fact, Zheng Zhilong is more than what is at stake in front of him. Where do you care about the gains and losses of the year?

"Father, Taiwan's wants to be self-explanatory, but it's a pity that it's in the hands of the red-haired Dutch." Zheng Shisen does not dwell on the past, and attaches more importance to the key points than Lao Tzu.

"Dutch. Today, it does not occupy the entire island. Besides, I ...... Our power today. He still has a lot of odds to win! Zheng Zhilong replaced "me" with "we" in time. lest the eldest son be dissatisfied.

"The father's naval combat skills are a hundred times stronger than his son!" Zheng Shisen had to tell the truth. Not only naval battles, but also land battles. Zheng Zhilong's skills are indeed much stronger than Zheng Chenggong! This is prominently manifested in the Ming Dynasty, whether Zheng Zhilong invaded Guangdong by land, or ate both Chinese and foreign at sea, compared to Zheng Chenggong and his father in the years after they parted ways, they did not taste victory, and they were defeated and retreated. It wasn't until he seized Jinxia that he was able to recuperate. Later, he received Shi Fu Shi Lang, and this began to emerge!

"Sen'er is too humble. Having said that, in Taiwan, didn't the imperial court also proclaim to the world a long time ago that the whole island would be the 'land of eternal town' for my Zheng father and son? Although it is suspected of being a ploy to provoke us and the Dutch red hair, is it not good to break the world? Zheng Zhilong is very interested in his son's seeking truth from facts, and is more satisfied with his own judgment of the situation.

"The father can see at a glance that the Qing court is dirty, and the son admires it!" Now whenever Lao Tzu Zheng Zhilong says that the Qing Dynasty is not haode, his son Zheng Shisen will be the first to jump out and raise his arms and shout!

"Why doesn't it stop there? The court is still suspicious of us! You and I, father and son are in the same town in Fujian, and the court also intends to trap us in Fujian. In time, perhaps the situation is compelled to prevent father and son from killing each other! Zheng Zhilong followed his son's words and went straight to the core!

"Ahh Fathers, sons will never be like this! Zheng Shisen was clever and hurriedly cleared himself.

"Sen'er, there are some things that you can't do if you don't want to do them. Sometimes, the so-called arrow has to be fired. You don't dislike being a father, but your father knows it. But those generals and agents under your command are not easy to say to my father...... After all, after Shunzhi went north for his father for three years, the people's hearts can be seen. Lao Tongan Wang said earnestly.

That's where it matters.

The original Zheng Maritime Group had only one leader, and that was Zheng Zhilong. But with his defection to the Qing court, the group that was not monolithic quickly divided and formed two factions. One faction is the "heavy profit faction" headed by Zheng Zhilong, attached to Zheng Zhibao, Shi Lang, Shi Fu and others, who basically do not care about orthodoxy, but aim to maximize the interests of the maritime group, that is, whoever asks me to become a maritime businessman, I will take refuge in whomever I want. The other faction is the "heavy righteousness faction" headed by Zheng Chenggong, and its supporters are Zheng Hongkui, Lin Cha, Zhou Rui and others. Although they still attached importance to maritime profit-making, they put the so-called "great righteousness of the Han family" in the first place, and were unwilling to join the Manchu regime from the bottom of their hearts.

With Zheng Zhilong's return to the north, the two factions have been in constant friction for the past nine months, and the reason is because of a group of subordinates, which master should obey the dispatch!

"Don't blame my father, they also have suffering. They still respect you! Zheng Shisen came to a "car talk".

What is the use of "respecting as before"? The point is to listen to disobedience! But it was my father's last sentence that confirmed Zheng Shisen's doubts tonight - no matter what he said, Zuihou is still a military power! Or the core question of who will bring the team! Today's plan cannot blindly back down, nor can it be aggressive. The only way to do this is to continue to stick to the established policy of tonight - to be modest and cautious, to listen more and to talk less!

"Sen'er, you have a reason to lead the army and employ people, and you are also relieved to be a father. It's just that in terms of the general trend, it is just a little lacking. Zheng Zhilong finally heard his son's scheming, a little helpless, but unwilling to do so.

"Please ask my father to teach me! Children do what they say! King Haicheng secretly said in his heart - Okay, old fellow, you can start talking about your plans, I will do what I say, and it may not be easy for the group of brothers below to implement!

"Well, old man, I have three strategies to deal with the overall situation, I just need your more cooperation!"

Zheng Zhilong carefully watched his eldest son's expression, trying to draw his own judgment from it with years of experience.

"Please also ask my father to teach me!"

Zheng Shisen is still ignorant, with a serious attitude. Dealing with the old guy Tongan Wang who was fifty miles away, the young Haicheng King in his early thirties was humble and polite on his lips, but he was extremely firm in his heart.

The father and son have tacitly and duplicityly temptations, and it's finally time to get down to business!

[1] Dong Dayong, whose name is Yangshan, is from Liaodong and Taizhou. At the beginning of Shunzhi, he served as an officer in Ganzhou Town. Jin Shengqiao rebelled, besieged the city for several months, 50 gold in stone rice, and used thousands of rice to pre-store, all to help the people; From time to time, troops were sent to fight. The siege was solved, and the general army of Guangdong was promoted to the post of the world. Transferred to guard Haicheng, announced Weide, and there were many people who belonged to the sea. Kangxi begged for rest and became a naturalized Taizhou. After repeated floods, he donated silver and rice for relief, and more than 100,000 hungry people were lived. The school palace was built again, and the Haiyang Building was restored. (Thai) state people Lourdes. (To be continued......)
