099. Timeline of change

The sound of hooves rumbled.

More than a dozen strong knights rode on a strong horse and accompanied dozens of caravans on the official road.

There are five horses in the team that are the most majestic, and they are at the forefront of the team.

Although it is exhausting to travel for days, these qualities of Fengchen cannot hide the temperament of the owner of these five horses.

While the fast horse was running, the roadside wine shop swiftly by. The man in charge tied the reins, looked at the wine shop in surprise, and then continued to ride the horse forward.

A female knight kicked the horse's belly and urged the horse to ride side by side with the man. She asked in a soft voice: "Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"

The man was naturally Chen Chong. When he saw A Ke ask, he shook his head and smiled: "The wind is filled with willows, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating. It is the season of spring in the south-south country--"

Another female knight asked curiously: "Brother Chong, isn't autumn now? Why do you say that spring is in full bloom?"

Chen Chong felt a little happy and didn't explain much. He just smiled and raised his eyebrows at her: "You will know from now on!"

After a while, the tall walls of Fuzhou City were already far away.

At the city gate, a young man waved his hand to the downstairs of the city gate, and it seemed that it was Wei Xiaobao.

The team led by Chen Chong has been traveling for six days since he set out from Hangzhou.

It was already an amazing speed after running for 800 miles in six days, not to mention that it was a group of women.

After a dozen days of boating on the river, and six days of bumpy carriages, only these girls were strong enough, otherwise they would never be able to hold on.

Chen Chong was also quite happy to see Wei Xiaobao jumping up and waving his hands on the city gate.

When he set out from Hangzhou, this guy had already escaped. It was said that something had happened, so he could only go back to the Fuzhou headquarters with Chen Jinnan to deal with it.

As for what matters, no one knows.

Seeing that the team was about to enter the city, Wei Xiaobao ran down the city gate tower and happened to intercept Chen Chong.

After wandering around Chen Chong's horse, he said enviously: "Brother Chen, you are so arrogant."

As Chen Jinnan's apprentice, he has no privileges. It is impossible to have his own horse.

"want to?"

Chen Chong smiled and stuffed the reins into Wei Xiaobao's hand: "Of course the mount of the Tartar Emperor is good. Look, this horse is given to you."

Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed. Not only did he not mean to be polite, he even asked shamelessly: "Brother Chen, it seems that you are really developed. I wonder if there are any benefits to take care of me?"

Chen Chong looked around and saw that the others were still far away from him, and whispered: "The benefits are indispensable, but you have to wait until the business is done. Xiaobao, tell me honestly, how much money is still missing in the Tiandihui now?"

When talking about money, Wei Xiaobao suddenly became energetic and began to settle the accounts with great enthusiasm.

"Brother Chen, you don't know. When I came to Fuzhou, I realized that our Tiandihui had no money at all. I really made a lot of money every year when I sold private salt and went overseas. However, our stalls were also big, and the money was simply not enough to make ends meet."

Speaking of this, he said mysteriously: "Brother Chen, guess how much money does the Tiandihuihui have?"

Chen Chong shook his head: "It must be quite profitable to sell private salt and go to sea? But the world will open branches everywhere, and the expenses are probably not small. Who can tell the situation correctly?"

Wei Xiaobao sighed and frowned into the word "chuan": "Twenty-one thousand taels, the master has only saved 210,000 taels for so many years!"

Seeing his expression excited, Chen Chong hurriedly comforted: "The heaven and earth will have a great family and it is certainly not easy to raise so many people. It is good to save so much money."

Wei Xiaobao suddenly asked, "Brother Chen, do you know how much money can Lichunyuan earn in a year?"

Before Chen Chong could answer, he said to himself: "From I can remember, Lichunyuan has not earned less than 130,000 taels in a year!"

Speaking of this, Wei Xiaobao sighed again: "Now everyone has borrowed everything and has raised a lot of money. Unfortunately, these silvers can't afford to support 20,000 people, and I don't know what to fight the Tartars."

After hearing Wei Xiaobao's words, Chen Chong's heart moved and asked, "Xiaobao, have you heard of the Taiwan Zheng family?"

"Taiwan Zheng family?"

Wei Xiaobao looked confused: "Taiwan? Is it a place in Hangzhou? I don't remember that there is a Taiwan in Fuzhou!"

No way?

Could it be that there is no Tai Wan in this world and no Zheng Chenggong?

Chen Chong was also a little confused, and then asked again: "The Zheng family is the Zheng family of the Southern Ming Anti-Qing general, Zheng Chenggong, the Prince of Yanping County, and Taiwan is the island that General Zheng went to after his defeat!"

"Oh, you are talking about the master of Guo!"

Wei Xiaobao understood now, and then said despised: "Brother Chen, the surname of Guo is not Zheng, but Zhu, and that island is not called Taiwan, it is called Dongdu Mansion."

Um?

What's going on?

But at this time, it doesn’t matter what name it is anymore. The key issue is the Zheng family!

The movie version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" is adapted very large, so this time and space are a bit inexplicable.

But once it becomes the real world, there must be a reason for these changes, and these reasons are factors that cause changes in the timeline.

These factors are very important, because only by clarifying these factors can the memories of the original work in Chen Chong's mind be useful!

At this time, he had no choice but to care about it and asked quickly: "I heard that the headmaster is for the Zheng family, oh, don't work for the Zhu family. Since this is the case, why do you have to raise money to rebel by yourself? Why would you just ask the Zhu family?"

Hearing these words, Wei Xiaobao's face changed suddenly.

He hesitated for a moment, then said with a strange expression: "Master, he did do things under the master of Guo when he was young. Later, he formed the Tiandihui, which was also the order of the master of Guo's surname, but..."

"But what?"

Chen Chong was covered in a mess and hurriedly urged: "Don't hesitate, just say it!"

"All right!"

Wei Xiaobao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and muttered: "For the sake of chopping chicken heads and burning yellow paper, I will tell you honestly, but I don't know much."

After listening to him chatting for a long time, Chen Chong finally understood why these changes were happening.

Simply put, after Zheng Chenggong passed away, Chen Jinnan began to assist his son, Zhu Jin, the King of Little Yanping, which is Zheng Jing.

Later, Zheng Jing was defeated in Jiangnan, not only did he suffer heavy damage to his generals, but his body was also severely damaged.

So he returned to Taiwan, Dongdu Prefecture, to recuperate, and asked his eldest son Zheng Kezang and Chen Jinnan to take charge of government affairs.

Then a high-ranking official from the Tartars came to the peace talks, not only put forward many preferential conditions, but also promised that as long as Zheng Jing withdrew from the coast of the mainland, the Zheng family would be granted the Zheng family as a vassal king.

However, for some reason, the conditions were not reached, and Zheng Jing did not agree to be granted. It is said that there are reasons for his eldest sons Zheng Kezang and Chen Jinnan.

The New Year passed, Zheng Jing died suddenly when he got sick and Feng Xifan took advantage of the chaos to assassinate Zheng Kezang.

Chen Jinnan was furious and fought with his senior brother in a bloody battle, wanting to avenge the eldest son, and then a funny thing appeared-

He found that he and his senior brother Feng Xifan were wanted by Zheng Keshuang, and the charge was for murdering Zheng Jing and Zheng Kezang.

In desperation, he had to return to Fuzhou and reorganize the Tiandihui.

Since then, Zheng Keshuang has taken over Zheng Ming's power. He not only evacuated his army from the mainland, but also received the golden seal of the Dongyi King granted by the Tartar Emperor, and happily became the local emperor on the island.

After Chen Jinnan returned to the mainland, he began to concentrate on managing the Tiandihui and continue his great cause of rebellion.

As for his senior brother Feng Xifan, he disappeared...

Only when Chen Chong slowly sorted out the chaotic timeline could he understand some of the problems in his mind.

Why does Chen Jinnan never mention the Zheng family?

Why did Feng Xifan defect to Wu Sangui?

Why did the scumbag A Ke meet become Wu Yingxiong?

And the source of all these changes is because of this time and space, Zheng Keshuang actually became powerful.
