Chapter 651: Marriage
"Thank you Lord Taiwei for your generosity and kindness, I think my brother will be grateful after hearing this, and lead Jiangnan Dongdao to surrender to Lord Taiwei. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zheng Feicai and the Wang family and the Yan family who came with him knelt down and thanked him.
"Well, it's good that you can understand, they are all Chinese atoms, so why do you want to kill and bleed all over the ground? If I wanted to attack Jiangnan Dongdao, I would have marched by land long ago, and the reason why I spent so many twists and turns was just to preserve some vitality for the people of Jiangnan Dongdao. After Li You finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Feicai and the others, "Since you know what I mean, then you are doing a favor by the way." ”
"Please also ask Lord Taiwei to command, but if the villain can do it, there will never be the slightest excuse." Zheng Feicai and the others hurriedly assured that they wouldn't be too embarrassed by Li You's meaning anyway.
"You go back and choose a few reliable people, bring a warship back, and tell Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng, Yan Zhenquan and others what I just told you, so that they can think about it clearly, and don't do things that are quick for relatives and enemies." After thinking about it, Li You said again, "As for His Royal Highness King Yue, don't worry, as long as he removes the emperor title and goes to Jiazhou to live, I can guarantee the safety of him and his family." ”
In fact, Zheng Feicai and the others didn't care about the fate of King Yue, anyway, it was just a puppet they erected, he originally thought that maybe Li You was inconvenient to start, and planned to persuade Zheng Feihuang and others to give her a glass of wine and a white silk before surrendering, and carry this black pot for Li You, and they would have their benefits in the future.
So when he heard Li You say this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful and missed an opportunity to sell well, but after thinking about it, since even King Yue would not have to worry about his life, then the safety of these people would be more guaranteed, so he put aside that little regret and sincerely thanked him here, "The villain must tell his brother what Lord Taiwei meant, and he will definitely persuade them to submit to Lord Taiwei." ”
He deliberately read the words "Lord Taiwei", which meant that their Zheng family was obedient, but Li You was not the inexplicable Fu King, Zheng Feicai still had some understanding of the situation in the world, and in his opinion, it was a matter of time before Li You replaced the Fu King to ascend the throne, and it was better to show his attitude earlier.
The rest of the clansmen of the Wang family and the Yan family also heard the meaning of Zheng Feicai's words, and also swore an oath with the gambling curse to show their obedience to Li You, and they just wanted to go to the persuasion table now.
"Okay, I know what you mean, for now, it's better to go back and persuade your brother and uncle to return to obedience as soon as possible." Li You had no intention of correcting them.
"Without further ado, the villain will lead the warship back, the villain's third brother Zheng Feifeng is still on the battleship, and the villain will let him go to the battleship of Lord Taiwei to see for a long time." Zheng Feifeng couldn't wait to go back early, for the sake of Li You's heart, he also took the initiative to send Zheng Feifeng as a hostage, and he looked embarrassed, "In order to run faster, the villain almost threw away the ballast stones, weapons, and food on the ship, please... Please also ask Lord Taiwei to be merciful and lend me some waiting. ”
"Haha!" Li You and Qian Hua couldn't help but laugh at the same time, these people are too embarrassed, right? It was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, and when they returned, several small boats followed them to bring supplies.
Then Zheng Feifeng and other hostages took small boats to visit the treasure ship, Qian Hua commanded the army to escort these captives to return to Qiantang, and Zheng Feicai and those sailor generals who had visited Li You together drove the battleship to return to Jiangnan Dongdao, and transmitted the news back as soon as possible to avoid other troubles.
Three days later, Zheng Feihuang, who was anxiously waiting in the house, finally saw Zheng Feicai, and when he heard Zheng Feicai finish talking about the battle of the day, he immediately jumped up, "What? And so did you come down? ”
"If the eldest brother had seen the fate of those Donghai Daoyi and the elites under General Qian that day, he wouldn't blame the younger brother so much, if it weren't for our refusal to give up my life, it was really their warships that were too powerful to be able to defeat them." Zheng Feicai said calmly, and now he is not afraid that Zheng Feihuang will blame himself.
After carefully talking about the details of the day, Zheng Feihuang was speechless, and at this time, Wang Wufeng, Yan Zhenquan and others also learned the news from their respective clansmen, and hurried to his mansion to discuss countermeasures.
"Now that the sailors are exhausted, Jiangnan Dongdao has no strength to resist, what should I do?" Wang Wufeng sighed and said, he didn't expect Li You's sailor to be so powerful.
"Now that it's a man-made knife and I'm a fish, what else can I do? I can only ask Lord Taiwei to surrender, and maybe I can keep my family's wealth and wealth, but if we wait for the land army to attack Jiangnan Dongdao, I am afraid that we will die without a place to be buried. Even if Zheng Feihuang was unwilling, he had no choice but to choose the path that was most beneficial to them.
"Even if you surrender, you should discuss a countermeasure, King Yue can completely agree to remove the emperor and go to Jiazhou, and there is no problem with Jiangnan Dongdao being handed over to Lord Taiwei, but we let him save so much effort, and give such a rich place away, he should always be able to exchange something back, right?" Yan Zhenquan asked.
"Lord Taiwei said, we can keep our family wealth, and we can continue to do business in maritime trade in the future, but we must pay taxes to the imperial court on time, and we must also obey the rules of the imperial court, even if Xiang continues to be an official, Lord Taiwei will arrange a suitable position." Zheng Feicai hurriedly told the results of the negotiation with Li You that day.
"Now the business affairs of the Jiazhou Imperial Court are in charge of Lord Fan, and Lord Fan has always been extremely lenient with us businessmen, presumably even if there is a tax amount, it will not be too much, and the laws of the imperial court will not be too strict." Wang Wufeng seemed to be a little tempted.
"I have given a lot of confessions to those officials before, if it is according to the standards set by Lord Fan, even if it is high, it will not exceed this number, if so, this business is completely done." Zheng Feihuang and the Jiazhou official they are most concerned about is Fan Li, and their understanding of him is even higher than that of Li You.
"But businessmen such as me have been oppressed by the imperial court since ancient times, even if it is said to be good now, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, and we still have to find a backer." Yan Zhenquan put forward his own views.
"That's true, what is Brother Yan's best solution?" Everyone asked in unison.
"Marriage!" Yan Zhenquan held back two words, "Now that Brother Zheng's niece and nephew have just reached the age of leaving the cabinet, if she can marry Master Taiwei, Brother Zheng will be ... Naturally, I don't dare to have officials to harass us. ”
Their Yan family, Zheng family, and Wang family have married countless people, and the three families have long been connected together, and the marriage between the Zheng family and Li You is equivalent to the three of them tied to Li You's chariot together.
