"Go, go..."

A group of horse soldiers flew to the bottom of Tianjin through the bridge on the canal.

"I've seen my father." Zheng Sen stepped forward and caught Zheng Zhilong's horse whip and grabbed the black tiger under Zheng Zhilong's crotch with one hand.

It is covered with black and shiny fur like brocade. This horse is a Tianfang horse and a gift specially given to Zheng Zhilong by the marine merchants in Fujian. It is very popular with him.

In addition, this horse has a bad temper and not only has to occupy a single food trough, but even other horses in a horse shed have been bitten by it, so Zheng Zhilong gave it such a name.

"Don't you be fine, Zhong Bao Gong," Zheng Zhilong said with his fist to Jiang Dejing in front of the door. With Chen Yan's surrender to the enemy, Jiang Dejing was once again appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen's perception of Wei Zaode was not very good, because as people settled in Tianjin and had a place to live, the officials who followed him had a trouble. Some people had impeached Wei Zaode, saying that he was a corpse and was useless and had no use in the country, which hindered the mobilization of troops and the king, and the capital was in trouble and the world was turbulent.

Wei Zaode has already claimed that he cannot get sick.

What about the chief assistant Zhou Yanru? He was really panicked and suffered from the cold. He is now bedridden.

Therefore, Jiang Dejing, a new member of the cabinet, became the leader of the cabinet. To put it simply, he was the head of the civil officials in front of Emperor Chongzhen's imperial leadership.

"If Annanbo had not cut off the rear and defended the enemy, how could I live here? Annanbo would be bowed to me..."

"Don't hide. This worship is not only for me, but also for the officials and relatives in the city, for His Majesty and the Prince, and for the world."

In front of the city gate, Jiang Dejing's words made Zheng Zhilong so high.

"This is the duty of a minister. How dare Zheng take credit for it?"

After a lot of politeness, Zheng Zhilong joined hands with Jiang Dejing to enter the city.

"Duke Zhongbao is the leader of all the ministers and His Majesty's favor. How dare you ask, what Zheng asked, may this time be what he wants?"

"Amn Annan Bo is not too anxious? This incident happened, the Northland artifact changed hands, the world was shaking, and the situation was moving. It was a good opportunity for a person like Boye to show his skills. How could he be wholehearted..."

Jiang Dejing looked at Zheng Zhilong with his eyes, not sure whether Zheng Zhilong was testing or was sincere.

"Donald Zhongbao is a scholar, don't he know the reason why he is so powerful that he is so powerful? I, Zheng Yiguan, don't want to use his life to try his best. So, it's better to get out of here in time." Zheng Zhilong said calmly, because he knew that what he said would eventually reach Emperor Chongzhen's ears.

"Zheng will not go to the Jinling court station, nor will he get power in the court and get involved in court affairs. Although he will still be on Juehua Island, Tianjin, and Qilu, he will restrain Li Zheyiyi and Er, but to tell the truth to Mr. Zhong Bao, the main force of the navy, is ready to go south. The land of the South China Sea cannot be stable, and I am also uneasy."

Jiang Dejing's mouth was irresistible. He suspected that he was old and deaf, and he misheard Zheng Zhilong's meaning. Under such a situation, Zheng Zhilong was not going to go to Jinling?

"So you're serious?"

"Of course it's true, it's Zhilong's heart."

Zheng Zhilong couldn't see clearly what the next situation was, so he was unwilling to plunge in.

Only a bridgehead is preserved along the coast of the North, providing convenience for future intervention in the North.

But for Jinling, he was discouraged.

"Retreat bravely in the rapids is called knowing the truth. Annanbo is indeed not an ordinary person." Jiang Dejing's eyes were full of praise. You should know that one of the major reasons for Emperor Chongzhen's troubles these two days was how to place Zheng Zhilong in the future.

His strength is already very strong, and his reputation is already very big. It is not the placement of civil officials or military generals, and Emperor Chongzhen was very worried.

However, now all problems are solved.

"Haha, don't be happy first. Although Zheng is unwilling to enter the court, it doesn't mean that I have completely withdrew from the mainland. If you don't say anything else, just Quanzhou Prefecture, I will take it as the military or political affairs."

Jiang Dejing understood what Zheng Zhilong meant. He wanted to ask Emperor Chongzhen for a reward and then cut off Quanzhou Prefecture as his own private land.

"Is that what he said?" Emperor Chongzhen felt that his chest was about to explode with joy now.

Unexpectedly, I never expected that what Zheng Zhilong asked for was so cheap.

What is the reward? The reward made by Zheng Zhilong is not bad for a duke. Quanzhou is just a mansion, and he was worried that Zheng Zhilong would go to his province at once.

"Your Majesty, there are Dinghai, Haitan, and the various places in Nan'ao..."

The islands Zheng Zhilong wants are not simple. Once he controls them, the entire southeast coast will be controlled by him.

"Give it to him. It's just a few islands." Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently.

"But although these islands are not big, they are all located at the critical point. Once they are grasped, the sea boundaries of thousands of miles of the southeast will be in their hands. They can be used as private trade. With sea trade, although the person is not in the south of the Yangtze River, the influence is everywhere..."

"So what?" Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was thinking very clearly, "What is the most urgent task of the court? It is to form water and land, guard Jianghuai, Lake and Guangxi. Even if those islands are still in the hands of the court, what's the use? So what if it can comfort the Zheng family and give up all of them?"

"Or do you think that if the imperial court holds these islands, it can limit private trade?"

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to learn from Song and play the Shipbuilding Department before, but he was willing but powerless. When the imperial court first arrived in Jiangnan, it was the time when the gentry there were there. How could the Shipbuilding Department start?

The eyes were full of anger. Who would care about the fact that he stepped into the ditch?

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen knew the pros and cons of this, and in the long run, it would be very unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty. But the crisis he faced now was not at sea. To appease the Zheng family was the first.

Without Zheng Zhilong's interference in the court, it would be like removing a mountain from Emperor Chongzhen's shoulders.

As for the island and the long-term, let’s talk about it first. When Nanming really has the strength to run his own sea boat master in the future, it will not be too late to think about how to return the island from Zheng.

"Your Majesty loves you so much, I am grateful."

Zheng Zhilong never thought that Emperor Chongzhen was so easy to talk to. Could it be that Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that he would fall into the water and drown on the way to Jinling on the way? Just like the little Ming King who was taken to Jinling by Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is really possible.

After all, Zheng Zhilong has the final say on the sea. Shen Tingyang's sand boat gang is not weak, but compared to Zheng's navy, they are all younger brothers.

Moreover, Shen Tingyang and Zheng Zhilong have a good relationship.

"Why did my father promise him so easily..." Zhu Cilang looked at his father in confusion. Although those islands were not big, he had already looked at the map. As Jiang Dejing said, the location was really very critical.

There is also Quanzhou and even Annan Hou.

Emperor Chongzhen actually responded in one go, which simply broke Zhu Cilang's understanding of his father in his heart.

Empress Zhou sat aside and put down the teacup in her hand when she heard this. She was puzzled. But she never asked about politics.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at his fifteen-year-old son and looked puzzled at this moment, and he wanted to slap his son openly. In this kid's mind, Li Banghua wanted to travel south and leave me in Beidu to die. It was such a big laugh.

"Are a real child? Have you forgotten the story of Deqing Hou?"

Emperor Chongzhen did not say it very clearly, but Zhu Cilang's academic performance was still good. When he heard of Deqing Hou, he immediately thought of Liao Yongzhong. Referring to the current scene, the name of the King of Ming Han Lin'er suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Han, Han..."

"Father, Zheng Zhilong has always been loyal and brave. The country will survive this time, and it depends on his achievements. What's more?"

Emperor Chongzhen only glanced at his son in anger, "I am a real child."

When can human desires be filled? The marquis want to be a prince, the monarch wants to be a king, the king wants to be an emperor, the bold and reckless things, and the bold and reckless people have gone in this world.

"I'll ask you, if the ship sank in the sea, if the ship sank, you, my father and son, and even your brother, will only survive and be worshipped by Zheng Zhilong into Jinling and ascend to the throne and become emperor. Does the people in the world recognize it?"

Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he even became me.

"When the time comes, Zheng Zhilong relies on his elite soldiers and is powerful in the court and the country. What if he wants to be a living Cao Cao?"

After experiencing the previous dilemma, Emperor Chongzhen understood one thing: Is it better for the emperor to have a genitals? Those who are strong and powerful will do it.

If you want to be a real emperor, rather than a real emperor who is fooled by ministers and ignored by your military generals, you must have troops in your hands.

What Emperor Chongzhen is most moved now is that he still has silver in his hands. When he arrives in Jiangnan, Zheng Zhilong will no longer be there. With the money, he can quickly pull up a decent army. At that time, he will be the first to order the troops to wipe out Liu Zeqing.

...

As one of the four towns in Nanming in history, Liu Zeqing is far from the glory that comes from the same period of history.

Shi Kefa led Liu Zhaoji to block Liu Zeqing's way south, and Hong Chengchou also went south and gave Guide to Xu Dingguo. Hong Chengchou's remaining defeated generals were not as good as the 100,000 Dashun Army, but he was not afraid of Liu Zeqing.

In addition, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degongjun from Fengyang, and Gao Jie from Xuzhou, Liu Liangzuo's life is not easy.

Several troops did not start a war against them, but everyone knew that this guy had a bad impression of Emperor Chongzhen, and it was hard to guarantee that Emperor Chongzhen would not settle the score later. Therefore, several troops and horses had a tacit understanding and clamped Liu Zeqing at the junction of Huaibei and southern Shandong, almost the life that Xiao Yuanying lived.

Liu Zeqing is now looking forward to the new dynasty army going south all the time, and his surrender has been delivered to him for many days through Kong Yinzhi's hands.

But what disappointed him was that Li Zicheng's main force even went south, not to mention the Dashun Army in Qilu did not see any movement at all.
