In June, the Zheng army did not yet reinforce the officials, but the arrival of the Dutch fleet reinforcements had already taught the atmosphere between the Taiwan Strait to become increasingly tense.

The negotiations between the two sides were immediately in a stalemate. How can two people with fundamental interests reach a consensus at the negotiating table?

But the Dutch did not want to tear the "peace" with Zheng Jun, although they had clearly shown their hostility. This can be seen from the later negotiations that He Bin's appearance became less and less frequently.

But they still have hope for "peace".

Zheng Zhilong on the other side of the strait was also ready to set sail at any time.

The fleet that had gathered early would find a suitable opportunity to go straight to Penghu.

The latter is a good place. The sea outside the harbor is surging and the water inside the harbor is as quiet as a lake. It is a good place to hide from the wind and waves. It is also close to the Holland.

However, this kind of military service requires not only a good time to break the trend, but also a gimmick to cheer up.

After pushing the time forward for a month, the Qing Tartars finally left the border, and the Ming court's reward for Zheng Zhilong was also decided. Although Zheng Zhilong ran home with no face, Emperor Chongzhen still breathed a sigh of relief and chose the central government to go to the south with the order.

The latter and his group left the capital, and they first rushed slowly and slowly. Within two days, their energy and spirit suddenly changed.

"Eunuch Li is worried. As long as he can arrive in Anping before the first day of June, his brother will give him a good reward." Zheng Zhiguan met the Zhongguan at night and left a very thick gift.

Eunuch Li takes money to do business, so he will no longer be able to travel slowly.

What? You said that the emperor was unhappy with Marshal Zheng and shouldn't have promulgated the imperial edict so quickly?

Who did you hear? You dare to alienate the friendship between the king and the court's generals. You are so bold.

Stimulated by money, Eunuch Li, like a different person, took the eunuch, the Jinyiwei with him, and the guards of the Jingying camp, and rushed straight to Anping City with whips.

Isn't it time to arrive now?

At this critical moment, the central officials in the capital arrived with the order. To be honest, this was a great encouragement to the Zheng army that was about to go to war.

Seeing the sudden increase in morale among his subordinates, Zheng Zhilong spent no money on the Zhongguan surnamed Li.

In the front courtyard of Zheng's house in Anping City, there was a proud eunuch, followed by several small eunuchs and several Jinyiwei, each with bright robes and arrogant expressions. There were dozens of guards accompanied by horses, all with complete armor and bright red cloaks.

In fact, they were all brand new outfits prepared by Zheng Zhilong. In addition to wearing wind and frost, they could be said to be furious and angry.

"Zheng Zhilong, the general of the Fujian army, received the order!"

The incense table offerings had long been placed on the vestibule, and the vestibule was carefully cleaned. The Zheng group was headed by Zheng Zhilong, and everyone knelt down to receive the order. The soldiers holding weapons inside and outside the mansion also knelt down on one knee.

After Zheng Zhilong proclaimed loudly, "My minister Zheng Zhilong received the order." He shouted loudly, "Long live my emperor!"

The sound fell, and the surroundings were filled with solemnity. The central official took a brocade box wrapped in yellow silk from a small eunuch next to him, and a red lacquered gold-painted dragon box. He carefully took out the imperial edict from the box with a yellow silk cover and sang loudly: "The emperor who followed the heavens and inherited the imperial edict, and said: "The emperor who was in charge of the enemy will be in trouble here. All the people will be in trouble. The world is shocked. All my subjects are in shock. Now, Zheng Zhilong, the general officer of Fujian Province, was brave in the three armies and worked hard to kill the thieves. Dai Jiaji, the former and later, Zhang Qiuzhen reported the victory. I am very relieved! Now Zheng Zhilong is promoted to the Minister of War, and was given Shangfang sword, a python robe, a golden rhinoceros tied with a golden wing, a round necklace with a big red woven gold chest and back, a thousand taels of silver in the treasury, and twenty silver medals were rewarded for the purpose of rewarding merits in front of the formation..."

Zheng Zhilong lay on the ground, looking in tears and extremely excited. He told Eunuch Li to see it strangely. Zheng Zhilong didn't look like a traitor who was rebellious. Are he still very excited after the emperor's reward?

After hearing this, the soldiers and civilians around them all cheered and thundered.

Zheng Zhilong received the imperial edict, and the people behind him rushed forward, took over the Shangfang sword, python robe, jade belt, etc., and enthusiastically invited the middle official to stay in the mansion. The latter dared to make a deal with Zheng Zhilong in secret, but on the surface, he did not dare to really have close contacts with Zheng Zhilong.

Refusal immediately led a group of people out of Zheng's house, out of Anping City, and headed straight to the nearby inn.

Zheng Zhilong also turned back to the small flower hall and immediately shouted, "Get me water."

The person who was with him hurriedly washed his eyes, but the reason why he could cry was because of the material on his sleeves. Zheng Zhilong was inexperienced and had too much in his eyes at once, so he kept crying.

After Zheng Zhilong washed his eyes, he looked at his subordinates with a heavy face. Looking at Shang Fangjian, the appearance of the python robe was not envious at all. He nodded with satisfaction.

Is this decent?

If all those who have made ill plans will still be tempted by the emperor's reward?

Zheng Zhilong drew out the Shangfang Sword. He had heard a lot about this thing, but this was the first time he got it, so he had a good decoration.

Then he took the python robe placed in the vermilion gold-painted plate and took a look back and forth. The very gorgeous objects, gold wire and silver embroidery, were just a brocade robe after all.

"Hahaha, hahaha..." Zheng Zhilong suddenly burst into laughter.

He held the python robe and asked the person below: "Can this thing be worth one hundred taels of silver, and can it still be worth one thousand taels of silver?"

"I made such great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and killed so many Tartars. The emperor rewarded some of this? Is the silver from the treasury expensive?"

"Isn't a thousand taels of silver in the treasury or a thousand taels of silver? Is it more valuable than a two thousand tael of silver ingot?"

"This Ming Dynasty is really out of money, really out of money."

Zheng Zhilong seemed to be saying with great emotion. The people below nodded one after another. Some smart ones were suddenly enlightened, while those who were not good at it had not yet understood what their meaning was in their big words.

Zheng Zhilong just laughed when he saw this, "What is the imperial court? The imperial court is just a big business, managing the whole world."

"The officials in the court are the shopkeepers, managers, deacons of the business department. The soldiers of the court are the guards of the business department. The court is prosperous, and that is when the business is making a big profit. However, the court declines, and the business is in trouble and losing money. Now the business in the Ming Dynasty cannot even pay out the rewards. If the business has no money, it will go bankrupt and cannot get the money from all over the country. Can the business still last? And if the court has no money, it will be a good luck."

"I can see the whole leopard after a glimpse. My brother can only say today that Zhu Ming is about to die and is already terminally ill, and our great achievements are expected."

This is so inspiring.

Zheng Zhilong used Emperor Chongzhen to make a raft and poured a bowl of spiritual chicken soup into his subordinates.
