This young man is the famous Zheng Chenggong in later generations, but at this time he was just a young man with no position and no power, and accompanied his uncle Zheng Hongkui and brother Zheng Cai to participate in the military conference presided over by Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang.

The governor of Liangguang opened Wuzhou in the Chenghua period, and then moved to Zhaoqing, if on weekdays, to meet the governor of Liangguang, you have to take a boat to Zhaoqing in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River, but this time is different. Shen Youlong summoned officials and generals to the Yamen through the political envoy of Guangdong, which was called the Military Council, which was actually to raise salaries, and in terms of raising salaries, the rich Guangzhou was naturally much more suitable than Zhaoqing.

The street where the political envoy's yamen was located had been quieted, and the soldiers of the Governor's Battalion in iron armor guarded both ends of the street, prohibiting people from coming and going, and the shops and households along the street had closed their doors and windows, not daring to speak.

Ten big flags are arranged on both sides of the gate, the flagpole is three feet, the flag is seven feet, all are flame-shaped apricot yellow flag edges, the heart of the flag is set by the principle of five forms of symbiosis, the center is embroidered with a flying tiger, after Zheng Fusong arrived, he saw the ironclad soldiers, ten big flags, and praised a great style.

"This is the prestige of the Wang Division's army, when one day, I will do the same, promote the government to open the government, dominate the army, cleanse the world, and calm the chaos and rebellion for my Ming Dynasty, and open up the territory outside." Zheng Fusong couldn't help but say.

"Okay, Fusong has such great ambitions, and he is worthy of my Zheng family, but at this time, it is better to get off the horse." Dismount in front of the door flag to show respect for the governor, Zheng Hongkui said to Zheng Fusong half-jokingly.

Zheng Fusong immediately dismounted, at this time he was not the national surname who was immediately swordsman, just a young man who was curious about everything and had just left his father's protection.

Almost all the civil officials and military generals of Liangguang have arrived, similar to Zheng Hongkui, who happened to be here as guest troops, these people formed a circle according to their relatives and factions, and they were talking separately, and Zheng Fusong thought that the chaotic voice was made by these people, but when he looked closely, at the other end of the street, there seemed to be a group of people gathering, and they were blocked by the soldiers.

"Uncle, what's wrong, what's going on, how dare those people break into the governor's actions?" Zheng Fusong asked puzzled.

Zheng Hongkui glanced at it and tugged Zheng Fusong: "What does Diao Min think, how do I know, you are silent, the Governor is coming." ”

At this moment, three cannon shots rang out, and a group of officials and generals hurriedly arranged in an order according to their official positions, civil and military, and then entered the line through the flag gate, and after the two courtyards, they arrived at the bottom of the lobby steps.

At the end of the civil and military arrangement, another trumpet sounded, and Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, appeared, wearing a jade belt around his waist and a black veil on his head, and walked out slowly, sitting behind the public case, and the staff also stood on both sides.

Under the arrangement of Cheng Qiguan, the officials entered, and according to the rank and rank of the civil and military personnel, they signed up with Shen Youlong, paid homage, and then lined up on both sides to listen to the instructions.

“...... Today, there is a jumping beam on the side wall, and the thieves in the Central Plains are in turmoil, and the eight rows of Yao in the southwest of me are disturbing the Sacred Heart. You are all people who have received the grace of the country, and you should serve ......the country with all your heart. Shen Youlong's voice was clear and majestic, which made many people's hearts tremble.

After a period of admonition, the officers withdrew, and the time came for the governors to be summoned separately, in what order it was, depending on the governor's own opinion.

"Your Excellency the Governor has invited Lin Cha, the chief soldier of Guangdong." Cheng Qiguan shouted loudly, and the leader of the military attaches immediately followed him into the back hall.

Zheng Fusong stood in the hall, his mind had been shaken a little by the majesty of Shen Youlong just now, his admonitions to serve the country and the monarch were heard in the ears of these old oilmen in the officialdom, and no matter how much he said, he would not let him have a trace of emotion, but in the ears of young people like Zheng Fusong who were lucky enough to see the governor, it was deafening, as if life had lit a guiding light.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Governor will summon you in the signing room. It will be a long time, my lord's grace, please go and wait outside. Cheng Qiguan walked out again and said to everyone, showing Shen Youlong's compassion.

The civil and military officials moved to the outside of the signing room, where tables and chairs had been arranged, and there were servants serving tea, the civil and military officials had different expressions, some were nervous, some were full of excitement, some were sweating profusely, and Zheng Fusong was amazed to see it.

"Dare to ask you, are you General Zheng Hongkui?" A handsome servant in Tsing Yi suddenly walked up to a military general and asked in a low voice.

When Zheng Hongkui heard his name, he stood up and said, "This official is Zheng Hongkui." ”

The servant was slightly embarrassed, and a middle-aged scribe smiled, walked out of the room, and said, "General Zheng, don't come unharmed." ”

"Songbao, don't you pay General Zheng any compensation." The scribe pushed the servant and said, and then said to Zheng Hongkui: "General, this Songbao is a newcomer to Dong Weng's side, and I haven't seen you, Haihan, Haihan." ”

Zheng Hongkui was not angry in the first place, although he was a pirate back then, he has been in the officialdom for 20 years, and he is very clear about the bad rules in the officialdom. The servant named Songbao in front of him looks handsome, and he can't be provoked, if it is an ordinary servant of the Shen family, it doesn't matter, just like this, listening to the accent is Wu Nong's soft language, it may be a prostitute raised by Shen Youlong, this kind of person in the room is something that outsiders dare not provoke.

In view of the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang for officials back then, it became particularly popular for Ming officials to raise prostitutes, especially in the south. Not to mention, now in the north, the brothels in the capital, the main pick-up is the duck, and when this atmosphere has changed, it has been a change of dynasty, and it has reached the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Brother Songbao is looking for me, but what do you have to say? ”

Song Bao's lips were red and his teeth were white, and he said with a small meaning: "The master said, I am busy with official business today, so I will ask the general and Zheng Gongzi to go back first." ”

"Go back?" Zheng Hongkui was puzzled, he came this time and was sent by Zheng Zhilong, but Shen Youlong asked the Zheng family, not the Zheng family asked him Shen Youlong.

"The master said, there will be a banquet tomorrow." Songbao said again.

Outside the signing room, everyone heard this, and saw that the governor gave the Fujian guest general special treatment, and they were all envious, but the reason for this, everyone also knew more, this time to raise salary, is to hope that the Fujian Zheng family will contribute more.

Zheng Hongkui laughed: "Then listen to the arrangement of the adults, and then leave." ”

But the scribe said, "General Zheng, the student will send you." ”

"How dare you, how dare you, Mr. Zhao is teasing me again." Zheng Hongkui and this Mr. Zhao are familiar with each other, and the two let them go out of the outer room of the signing room together.

At the gate of the yamen, the two exchanged words for a while, and agreed to meet at the banquet tomorrow, Mr. Zhao said: "The general walks slowly, and the students are busy." ”

Zheng Hongkui's uncle and nephew saw that Mr. Zhao walked towards the chaos at the end of the street, the two got on the horse, and watched Mr. Zhao's arrival, which made the situation even more chaotic.

"Wow, you people, even Mr. Zhao dares to offend, retreat quickly!" Zheng Hongkui pulled out the knife, and the cold light flashed.

And Zheng Fusong drove the horse forward, constantly pulling the reins, the black horse under his crotch jumped up his front hooves, and the frightened people retreated one after another, so a few back and forth, forcing dozens of people to take more than a dozen steps back.

"Oh, the Zheng family's Qilin'er is really amazing." Mr. Zhao praised.

Zheng Fusong was in high spirits when the young man was in high spirits, laughed, turned over and dismounted, put his knife in front of Mr. Zhao, and shouted to the people: "You and the people, no more disorderly acts, what to say, slowly, Mr. Zhao is in charge of you, if you dare to be presumptuous here, the governor will spare you, Zheng will not spare it!" ”

Only then did everyone quiet down, and Zhao Wenji stepped forward, beckoned them to the shade under the tree, and said, "I have already reported what you said, Your Excellency. Today, when you return from northern Guangdong, the first thing you do is to verify the situation in Lin Cha, the general army of Guangdong, and you have to ask to know what the truth is. Wait and wait for half a day, if it is really as you say, how can the Governor abandon the people on behalf of the Celestial Patrol? ”

"Then we'll wait here, and we'll have to wait until the Governor's Mansion sends troops."

"Yes, we can be guides and we can sail boats."

The people shouted endlessly, but they did not make trouble, they did not rush forward, and sat cross-legged under the tree.

"Sir, what are these people doing?" Zheng Fusong handed Zhao Wenji a cup of tea and asked.

Zhao Wenji was very satisfied with Zheng Fusong's bravery and majesty just now, and couldn't stop praising him, at this time, the junior asked, and he didn't hide it, took a sip of tea, and explained: "These people claim to be small businessmen who do business in the Pearl River Estuary, and they were trading near Neilingding Island earlier.

Later, Lin Cha, the chief soldier of Guangdong, led his troops to sweep the sea, and these people were taken captive by four pirates and wanted to be sold to foreign countries as slave laborers. But he was rescued by Li Zhaoji of an Oriental Trading Company and Chen Ping, the chief banner under the command of Lin Zongbing, and a few people escaped, and it was these people in front of them who came to complain, and said that thousands of people were trapped on Lantau Island, so that the imperial court could rescue them. ”

"This thing sounds mysterious, there are a few soldiers under the command of a general banner, so what kind of trading company, how can there be soldiers, how can it be possible to save people in the hands of four surnamed thieves?" Zheng Hongkui laughed.

Zheng Fusong shook his head: "Uncle, but it's not so incredible, you think, dozens of people have a lot of truth in their mouths." There are also dragons and snakes in the grass, and it is difficult to say that there are heroic people who act chivalrous and do such earth-shattering things. ”

Zhao Wenji sighed: "What Zheng Gongzi said is reasonable, but this thing is strange, these people came to make trouble the day before yesterday, Dong Weng sent someone to inquire about Lin Zongbing, and Lin Zongbing bluntly said that there is no general banner named Chen Ping under his command." ”

"It's weird, it's weird." Zheng Fusong shook his head and said.

Zheng Hongkui said: "That's what these people made up." ”

Zhao Wenji shook the folding fan, and said: "What's even more bizarre is in the back, today the governor is leaving, these people came to complain again, and the chief soldier Lin Cha secretly sent cronies to stop it. General, you said that if there was no Chen Ping, this matter had nothing to do with him, what did General Lin do to stop him, and secretly moved troops? ”
