Two days later, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian.

Anhai Town, near Anping City, is located in an extremely luxurious, extremely huge luxury residential land, starting from Anping Bridge in the south, connecting between Xidai and Xigang in the west, reaching Xiyuntou in the north, directly leading to the five port shores, under the rough estimate, covering an area of at least 138 acres.

It is mainly structured with a mountain break, five bays, and thirteen frames, with three doors, two fire alleys, and five courtyards.

There are wings and lofts on both sides, pavilions and pavilions are opposite each other, and the ring is listed as a barrier; There is "Dunren Pavilion" in the east, there is "Taiyun Building" in the west, the front hall is "Catholic Hall", the middle hall is "Xiaosi Hall", the scale is magnificent, how magnificent?

Not only that, after the big house, there is also a "Zhiyuan Garden", the wall is protected by the circumference, and there are other buildings and decorations embellished among them, which sets off the beauty of the scenery, full of elegance and poetry, hills, pavilions, fine houses, ponds, small bridges, winding paths, good trees, strange flowers and plants, everything.

This is the Zheng Mansion, which Zheng Zhilong spent three years and two months to build!

This alone is enough to show that Zheng Zhilong is rich and rivals the country.

As Zheng Zhilong's military stronghold and maritime trade base, the biggest architectural feature of Anping City is only the Zheng family's mansion, which is all-encompassing, and the architectural style covers both China and the West.

In the Taiyun Building, more than a dozen Zheng Zhilong's brothers and nephews gathered together, and the hall echoed with a strong dispute between father and son, and the quarrel was in full swing, inseparable, and no one wanted to take a step!

"Zheng Sen, Lao Tzu tells you, as long as Lao Tzu is still in the day, or you Lao Tzu, everything can only be up to me, and I am in charge, whether it is now or in the future, no matter how dangerous Zhu Yujian is, it is impossible for your father and me to send a single soldier to make enemies with the Dashun army!"

"Father, I say it again, my name is Zheng Chenggong now, not the Zheng Sen who was at your mercy before, I have my thoughts, and I will never agree to surrender to the rebellious army! Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been two masters. ”

"If father, you are still unwilling to send troops to support the emperor, even if you can't transfer a single soldier, I will go to Tingzhou Mansion."

......

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong and his son Zheng Chenggong are fighting for each other, refusing to give in to each other, and are in a stalemate, whether it is Zheng Zhilong's brothers Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Hongkui and others, or Zheng Chenggong's five brothers, they are all quietly watching this scene, and no one has persuaded a word.

In the end, I don't know whether I have made up my mind or have no intention of arguing again, Zheng Zhilong waved his hand again and again, and at the same time, there was a look of impatience on his face, and he said as if he was coping and warning: "Zheng Chenggong, Lao Tzu told you, if you are not my eldest son, you will inherit this family business in the future, dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, it is not enough to die a hundred times, okay, Lao Tzu doesn't want to quarrel with you now, and it is not interesting to quarrel again, anyway, the Dashun army has entered Fujian, and it has only been two or three days, so let's not talk about the issue of changing the line of the banner for the time being, you take a few younger brothers, cousins and cousins to leave, I still have to discuss some military affairs with a few of your uncles, get out~! ”

While speaking, without waiting for Zheng Chenggong to argue anything, he was pulled out by several younger brothers and cousins, and only Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui were left in the hall.

After everyone left, Zheng Zhilong had already changed into another look, his expression was extremely solemn, and his face was solemn, which was quite windy and cold.

After glancing at the faces of the two brothers again, their faces were full of complexity, there was a trace of worry and uneasiness, and he groaned slightly, and then said solemnly: "Two brothers, things can't drag on like this anymore. ”

"According to the Tanmalai report, just a day ago, Tian Jianxiu divided 10,000 cavalry, led by Lieutenant Colonel Niu Yan, directly bypassed the many state capitals and counties along the road, and went deep into Tingzhou Mansion alone, if there is no accident, even if there is a delay, it is time to reach the vicinity of Qingliu County north of Tingzhou Mansion at the latest."

"What? So fast?! ”

Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui almost said in unison, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see the look of horror in each other's eyes, and they looked incredulous.

"Hongkui, Zhibao, that's right, the movements of the Dashun Army are so fast......"

Zheng Zhilong responded patiently, his heart was extremely heavy, and he didn't know why, and then added: "Before the Dashun army approached Fujian, when attacking southern Jiangnan, I added a large number of secret posts in Fujian. ”

"Therefore, in the past few days, the news that has been fed back from several secret secret outposts in the southeast of Jianning Mansion, the northwest of Yanping Mansion and the north of Tingzhou Mansion, in summary, it is not difficult to find that with the marching speed of Niu Yan and others, even the most conservative estimate, under the gallop of 10,000 cavalry, the latest can reach the vicinity of Qingliu, and the fastest can reach the area of Tingzhou City."

Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhibao have woken up from the shock, but they still have some uneasy, according to the words of the eldest brother, which means that Zhu Yujian, the emperor of Longwu, is in danger.

"Big brother, Tian Jianxiu may have the intention of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and he is determined to be Zhu Yujian, but it cannot be denied that this move is also intended to deter and alert us."

Zheng Hongkui did not dwell on Zhu Yujian's life and death, and after making such a judgment, he further analyzed: "In these days, although we have continuously released great goodwill, and have successively given up the control of Jiangxi, as well as many checkpoints in northern Fujian, but there are also too ambiguous attitudes, at least now, we have not yet had a reputation in the world. ”

"Alas... Hongkui, why doesn't the eldest brother understand what you said? ”

Zheng Zhilong let out a long sigh, full of helplessness, and then explained: "The reason why I didn't tell the world and show my heart to the Great Shun Dynasty in public, the eldest brother wants to delay some more time, win more time for success, create an appearance of discord between father and son, and at the same time, transfer more property, so that you can act with success at sea." ”

"The eldest brother is right, it is true that you can't surrender to the Dashun army in a hurry, you must part the family property as much as possible for future resources and the food and salary of the sailor."

While Zheng Zhibao echoed and agreed, he was not explaining the meaning of the latter for Zheng Zhilong, and then continued to add: "After all, even if Li Zicheng broke his promise, did not keep his integrity, and had a successful nephew across the sea, the Great Shun Dynasty would not dare to do too much. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, the reason why the eldest brother left you alone is because there are other important arrangements."

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, stopping the two who still wanted to speak, and saw the two brothers looking at themselves solemnly, and then said slowly: "For this time, in three days at most, or two days at short, Zhu Yujian will be captured or killed by the Dashun army." ”

Although he has not directly fought with the Dashun army, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, with Zhu Yujian's thousands of soldiers, how can he be the opponent of the 10,000 elite iron cavalry?

Therefore, when Zheng Zhilong said this, when he met the eyes of his eldest brother, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhibao both nodded lightly to show their response, express their agreement, and wait for each other's words.

"So, eldest brother, I will rush to Jianning Mansion this afternoon and personally beg Tian Jianxiu to ......"
