Zheng Zhilong has been depressed lately.

Negotiations with the Dutch yielded no results, and he had just returned to Quanzhou, but received news that Liu Ruyi had taken his son Zheng Sen as an apprentice.

If it was in the past, Zheng Zhilong would definitely wish that his son was close to Liu Ruyi, but at this juncture......

On the official road, more than 100 horses galloped rapidly, galloping all the way to the north, and the person at the head was Zheng Zhilong, who looked haggard.

Originally, he planned to go to Songjiang Mansion to visit Liu Ruyi later, but at this moment, his mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't wait to find out Liu Ruyi's attitude.

Running wildly all the way, there was almost no stop, and three days later, Zheng Zhilong finally rushed outside Liu Ruyi's big tent.

However, Zheng Zhilong had just reported the name to his soldiers, but was told that Grandpa Guo was invited by Suzhou celebrities to go to the Humble Administrator's Garden to enjoy the flowers, and he was not in the camp at this time.

But thanks to it, he finally met his son.

In a side tent in the depths of the camp, Zheng Zhilong looked at his originally familiar son speechlessly, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the most familiar son was a little unfamiliar.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong had already put on a bright red guerrilla robe, although he was young, he was heroic.

"The boy has seen his father!" Zheng Chenggong respectfully saluted Zheng Zhilong.

"Sen'er, you, ...... are you" Zheng Zhilong pointed to his son Yingting's face, and was speechless for a while.

Zheng Chenggong was a little excited, "Father, Qi Guogong has been promoted to his son to be a naval guerrilla of the Caishi Army, and he will take office soon!" What do you think? This official robe is mighty, right? ”

"......" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but fall into a deep silence.

He really didn't expect that Liu Ruyi was really willing to spend money on the Zheng family.

Sen'er is not yet eighteen years old, and he is already a guerrilla......

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? Zheng Chenggong looked at his father's eyes with some confusion.

"Hey~~!" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said a little tiredly: "Sen'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, this, this thing, how can it become like this?" ”

Zheng Chenggong's face also became solemn, "Father, are you worried about Qi Guogong's plan for my Zheng family this time?" ”

Zheng Zhilong looked at his son in front of him in surprise, "Sen'er! Do you know that although the flowers are gorgeous, behind them are often the thorns that pierce people's hands! You, you...... Ay! As a father, I really don't know what to say! ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled, "Father, you're too worried!" If you want to get, you have to give! Wealth can only be sought in danger! Although my Zheng family has a big business, if compared with Qi Guogong, it is just a frog at the bottom of the well, a mayfly in the morning! Qi Guogong can appreciate children, that is the creation of children! Moreover, the child feels that this opportunity is a great creation of the Zheng family given to us by God! ”

"You, you ......" Zheng Zhilong didn't expect his son to be 'poisoned' so deeply, and for a while, he really didn't know what to say.

Zheng Chenggong explained Liu Ruyi's plan to establish a naval base in Songjiang Mansion in detail, and told his father in detail.

"Father, Qi Guogong has already said it very clearly! The navy went to war against the Dutch, he would not personally participate too much, all the decision-making, command, were in the hands of a few of our admirals! Moreover, Qi Guogong also had full psychological preparation for this battle, and he gave us five years! Father, Qi Guogong is already so benevolent and righteous, what else can't you let go? Looking at this time, who else can be the opponent of Qi Guogong? This is God's chance for our Zheng family! ”

Zheng Zhilong suddenly felt that his familiar son was unfamiliar, he hadn't thought about this truth, but if the Dutch had been in power for a hundred years, could their navy be so easy to defeat?

When the time comes, in case 'stealing chickens and rice', the unlucky one is still him Zheng Zhilong!

But it has come to this point, and he will never be able to say these words!

As the son said, this is an opportunity, but at the same time, it is also a double-edged sword, if it is used well, the Zheng family will soar and leap into the ranks of the wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty......

"That's it! Sen'er, you've grown up! The affairs of the Zheng family, you should also be more involved! For the sake of my father, I will wait here for the Duke of Qi to receive you! ”

~~~~~

Three days later, the news of Liu Ruyi's return to the camp finally came, Zheng Zhilong's heart couldn't help but tighten, and hurriedly went to Liu Ruyi's tent in person to ask for an audience.

This time, Liu Ruyi didn't let him eat the closed door again, and affectionately led Zheng Zhilong to the big tent.

In fact, in the past few days, Liu Ruyi has not left the door of the camp at all, but carefully calculated in the camp, the gains and losses of this expedition, as well as the pension and pacification work of the soldiers.

Taizu said, 'The barrel of a gun comes out of power'!

The army is such a thing, all the time, and it must be firmly controlled in its own hands!

Although with Liu Ruyi's prestige at this time, it is impossible for there to be major changes in the Caishi Army, but Liu Ruyi is still like at the beginning, close to the soldiers, improve the work, make the lives of the soldiers more secure, and make the entire Caishi Army more cohesive!

And Zheng Zhilong was dried for a few days, and his mood gradually calmed down, and when he saw Liu Ruyi again at this time, he had already lost his initial sharpness!

"Zheng Zhilong has seen Grandpa Guo!" In the big tent, Zheng Zhilong respectfully bowed to Liu Ruyi.

Although Zheng Zhilong has already been named the general soldier of Fujian, and he can be regarded as a righteous hero, but in front of Liu Ruyi, his qualifications are afraid to be ten cuts shorter.

After all, from the ninth year of Chongzhen, inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, almost every important battle, Liu Ruyi and Caishijun participated in it, and exerted immeasurable energy.

Even if it is the oldest time-honored general soldier in the Ming Dynasty like Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, he has to call Liu Ruyi a brother, let alone Zheng Zhilong, who is in a corner of peace?

"I've heard the name of the big boss for a long time! Hehe! I can see you today, and I have a big long-cherished wish in my life! Liu Ruyi smiled and bowed his hand to Zheng Zhilong, and affectionately let him sit down on the soft couch on the side.

The two sides met for the first time, but they had already admired each other's names for a long time, so they couldn't help but test it slightly.

It's just that although Zheng Zhilong is an old Jianghu, he can't ask for any benefit in front of Liu Ruyi.

After the greetings, Liu Ruyi took the lead in throwing out the topic, "Big boss, this Dutch rebellion, my Caishi Army still needs your full support!" The big boss is also my Han family hero, I believe that you are a person who understands the general situation and understands the righteousness! ”

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but curse in his heart!

If Lao Tzu doesn't agree, then it's not a general understanding and a clear righteousness? What's more, Sen'er has been brainwashed by you, does Lao Tzu still have a choice? ’

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to show half a point on his face, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo is in love!" Being able to serve the grandfather of the country and serve the Caishi Army is the blessing of my Zheng family. However, Grandpa Guo, I haven't been dealing with those Dutch ghosts for a day or two! They're not good at stubble! If this battle really wants to start, Grandpa Guo must be mentally prepared! ”

Liu Ruyi smiled, "If it weren't for that, Ruyi wouldn't dare to alarm the big boss!" Although the Dutch are strong, this is my land after all! With the big boss behind my back, I have confidence in my heart! ”

"......" Zheng Zhilong smiled awkwardly, but he could only accept Liu Ruyi's words.

~~~~~~

In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the camp, regardless of officers and soldiers, everyone had a share to celebrate the union of the Caishi Army and the Zheng family.

In the face of the crowd offensive of the generals of the Caishi Army, Zheng Zhilong was drunk, and Zheng Chenggong also tried his best, and a meal was regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.

However, on the second day, An Dongwei's naval outpost arrived in Songjiang Mansion under the leadership of Liu Hanyi, and he would consult with the Zheng family on specific naval affairs.

And Liu Ruyi gathered the army and embarked on the return journey.

Because, Liu Ruyi has already received the news that the Manchu Qing Dynasty bypassed the Shanhai Pass, broke through the Xifeng Pass, and entered the customs again!

At this level, the Dutch can only be regarded as mustard, which is not enough to worry about, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like a tiger wolf, if the Ming is a little careless, he may be swallowed by him.

And because of Hai Lanzhu, Liu Ruyi also knows in his heart, Huang Taiji's words, I am afraid that he is also holding a bad breath in his heart!

The army went all the way north, just crossed the Yellow River, and came to the territory of Jining Prefecture, and the will of the imperial court had been handed down.

Canonized Liu Ruyi as a first-class duke, fief Caishi Town, 5,000 households, sealed ~, Liu Ruyi as the Shangzhu State, Hussar General, immediately led the headquarters under his command, to the king of Jingshi Qin.

As soon as this news came out, the entire army was in an uproar!

The soldiers fell to their knees one after another, shouting 'General', and the flames of excitement were almost about to burn the heavens and the earth.

Liu Ruyi was also a little staggered by the generosity of the imperial court this time.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there was only one person who could be called a general, and that was Xu Da, the brother of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and the hardcore No. 1 thug!

Since then, for nearly 300 years, there has been no one!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen actually suppressed such a big bargaining chip, which made Liu Ruyi feel a little emotional!

However, the big position, that's all sealed by people!

Since Emperor Chongzhen dared to give it, Liu Ruyi naturally dared to accept it!

At the entrance of the Qing army, Huang Taiji is almost the elite of the whole country, and it seems that this is going to be a real match with the Ming Dynasty!

After all, with the rise of the Caishi Army, the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty have also begun to train a new army, even if it is Wu Sangui, he has been ready to move recently.

The situation has changed, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's proud 'cavalry shooting' is about to disappear into the torrent of history.

At this moment, even if it is Huang Taiji, he can't sit still!

What's more, there is Hai Lanzhu in front?

Liu Ruyi's heart also rose at this time, a lot of pride, a few years of hard work, every day seems to be walking on thin ice, accumulated for so long, it should be the moment of victory or defeat!

The winner, the prince, the loser!

The country is picturesque, the beauty is like jade, who wants to have it, it depends on whether the steel knife in his hand is sharp enough!
