Zheng Zhibao's face was full of shame, the Fujian sailors had never suffered such a humiliating loss even in the decisive battle with the Dutch fleet back then, if they snatched things back and killed the sailors of the imperial court, it would be reasonable to suffer such a huge loss, but, that's not the case, after fighting for a long time, I didn't catch the fart!

Sonny on the side smiled bitterly: "Okay, General Zheng, you better be restless, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless for you to be angry, but although the battle of the three generals did not win, it is not a defeat, anyway, it is certain that it has dealt a heavy blow to the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, dozens of warships, and there are one hundred and eighty artillery pieces on them, right?" ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Sony, and said secretly in his heart, yes, the imperial court sailors have also suffered a heavy blow, but the ones who get this cheap are your Manchurian Tatars, a fierce battle at sea, although the arms were not snatched back, but the military strength of the imperial court, especially the forces of the sailors, was damaged, why don't you do it?

However, after all, now Sony is the envoy sent by the Manchurian Emperor and the Regent, and he now wants to submit to the Manchurian Tartars, so this Sony can't afford to provoke him.

"Big brother, now I have no way out, I'm afraid that after the sailors of the imperial court return to Nanjing, Zhu Jie will make a move against us......"

Zheng Zhibao said in a low voice.

"Hmph, three generals, what are you afraid of? Even if he Zhu Jie wants to move towards Fujian, he must be able to draw troops, and now that all the main forces of the imperial court have been transferred to the Central Plains to confront our Manchurian iron cavalry, where is the energy to take care of Fujian? Where are the troops in the current city of Nanjing? ”

Sonny snorted and laughed.

"Who says no?"

Zheng Zhibao said: "Mr. Sony, you have been in Fuzhou for more than a month, you have been running around Sichuan, Beijing, and Fuzhou on the road before, and you have not rested for several months, and the news is naturally a lot behind, and now Nanjing City has already prepared for the construction of 50,000 new Beijing battalions, although the combat power of this new army can not be compared with the Tianwei Army and the Three Towns of Nanjing, but it is not so easy to deal with, this Zhu Jie's training is too powerful, but as long as the troops under his command, there is no one who is not brave and good at fighting!" ”

Sony was shocked, 50,000 Beijing troops! I really don't know, but I heard that now Azig has arrived in Huai'an Mansion, and the rest of the news is almost unknown, it seems that he is really lagging behind. Fifty thousand Jingying, if the combat power is really not weak, it is enough to completely contain Azig in Huai'an Mansion.

"General Zheng, although the arms have not been recovered, but our previous agreement is still valid, eight thousand good horses, all provided to you, still sixty taels of silver, 500,000 taels of silver, you sit in Fujian and Guangdong, control the trade between the East and the South Seas, rich and rival the country, compared to the 500,000 taels of silver, you haven't taken it to heart, now only you and I can join forces to ensure the safety of Fujian......"

Sonny said in a deep voice.

Zheng Zhilong is worried about this, once the arms are lost, if the Manchurian Tatars shelve the agreement to exchange good horses for arms, then they will sit on wax, who knows if the Manchurian Tatars will open their mouths and fall into the well at this time?

I didn't expect Sony to be so generous, at this time, he didn't stab himself, and was still willing to exchange silver for war horses, which was undoubtedly earned by himself, silver? I have never been short of silver, Wu Bai ten thousand taels of silver, it may be a little difficult to raise it for a while, but 500,000 taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for myself!

"Okay, since Mr. Sony is so bold, General Ben naturally can't be stingy, Mr. Sony, I know that the Qing Dynasty has just entered the Central Plains, the war is raging, the people of the Central Plains are withering, the war is repeated, the treasury is empty, I have nothing to repay Mr. Sony, one million taels of silver, another 500,000 taels, even if it is a gift from General Ben to serve the Manchurian Tartars, how about it?"

Zheng Zhilong, as a generation of heroes, naturally knows how to grasp the hearts of the Manchurians, silver, and now it is not himself who lacks silver, it is Manchuria, one million taels of silver, which can help the Manchurians solve many problems.

Sony was overjoyed, and he lobbied Zhang Xianzhong to send troops, which promised 1.5 million taels of silver in one go, and he said that Zhang Xianzhong was moved, but he didn't expect that this Zheng Zhilong not only didn't want silver, but also gave Daqing a heavy gift! A real gift! Now the Great Qing Kingdom is short of silver!

"Good! General Zheng, you have such insight and mind, I think our regent and the emperor will definitely give you the greatest support, rest assured, now Prince Ying is leading seventy or eighty thousand elites to besiege Huai'an Mansion, it won't take much time, you can completely take Huai'an, go straight to the capital, at this time, even if you lend Zhu Jie two guts, he will definitely not dare to attack Fujian! 50,000 newly built Beijing camps, even 10,000 Manchurian elite cavalry can wipe them all out, there is no need to be afraid at all! ”

Sony excitedly.

"Hmph, yes, what I'm worried about now is not that Zhu Jie will attack Fujian, but that once I raise troops in Fujian, how will he Zhu Jie deal with my 40,000 soldiers in Fuzhou Town! Zhibao, immediately put on the order to recruit new troops in Fujian, and within ten days, expand the town of Fuzhou to 70,000 people! You personally served as the chief soldier of Fuzhou Town, commanding the army to advance in the direction of Zhejiang, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhejiang, this time, I want to make Zhu Jie sad to death! ”

Zheng Zhilong said fiercely.

In Zheng Zhilong's view, now Zhu Jie has no extra strength to deal with the situation in Fujian, if tens of thousands of troops are dispatched to attack Zhejiang, then Zhejiang has almost no ability to resist, there is no military town in Zhejiang, only the official army of the guard, the combat effectiveness is low, there is no need to worry at all, maybe, if it goes well, it will not take a month to occupy the entire territory of Zhejiang and advance the war to the territory of Nanzhili!

"Also, immediately order Zheng Cai to strengthen the control of sea routes, strictly prohibit the transportation of goods from Jiangnan to the South Seas, and Lao Tzu will completely cut off their maritime lifeline!"

Zheng Zhilong made up his mind that he must overthrow the Ming Dynasty, only in this way can he be safe.

"Bang!"

Just as Zheng Zhilong was discussing with Sony, the door of the hall was slammed open, and a young man broke in angrily!

"Father, are you crazy? Do you want to rebel? Do you want to surrender the Manchurian Tatars? This is a great rebellion, a great rebellion, recognizing a thief as a father, communicating with foreign countries, in the future, our Zheng family will be sinners through the ages, and our children and grandchildren will be scolded! ”
