"You are guilty of tax evasion, communication, embezzlement and malfeasance."

The glimmer of hope that Zheng Zhilong had just risen was once again crushed into pieces by the four major crimes reported by the crown prince. These four serious crimes are enough to be criticized in any dynasty. However, it may be lighter in the hands of the crown prince, probably exiled to Liaodong or Ryukyu.

Speaking of which, although the crown prince is cruel and ruthless, he is not really a "human". He prefers exile and hard labor. From this point of view, I don't know if it is really weak or too practical.

"I am willing to lose money." Zheng Zhilong is not short of money. As long as he has a boat in his hand, he will not be short of money.

"I can't break the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao." Zhu Cilang responded.

Zheng Zhilong is sincerely grateful to Emperor Gao for leaving such a way out. As long as this young master takes the money, everything is easy to say.

He remembered the news from Nanjing again: It is said that the king's heart winked at Zhu Guobi that day, asking him to donate ten times more, and maybe he could be spared. However, Zhu Guobi asked for money but only paid 100,000 taels more, but he was exiled to Zhangjiakou - much closer than other honorary relatives who were exiled to Liaodong. It can be seen that it was a tael of silver and a drop of blood, which was the same for the flesh master and the prince.

"I don't count you too much." Zhu Ciyang said: "I will collect you a ransom as much as the maritime tax set by Yuegang. It is calculated that you pay late, not tax evasion. How about it?"

"Thank you for your grace." Zheng Zhilong didn't feel at all relaxed.

The crown prince announced four serious crimes, and tax evasion was the lightest.

"I can give you a title of Transportation Bureau for the crime of Tongfan. In the future, I will negotiate with the Red and Barbarians, so I will naturally ignore the previous situation." Zhu Cixuan said.

Tongfan was highly judged in the Ming Dynasty. Just as China later had zero tolerance for opium and other drugs, the Ming Dynasty also hated Tongfan to the core. These were all profound historical blood debts, which made people unable to let go.

Zheng Zhilong was a little dazed for a moment. Could it be that the crown prince was really helping him? What kind of virtue can he be blessed by this great god?

Zhu Cixuan continued: "But corruption and dereliction of duty are the most untolerant of me, so you have to say it yourself."

These two points do not need to be enforced, but they still cannot escape exile and hard labor...

Zheng Zhilong calmed down and said, "Your Highness, corruption is a bad policy for the country. Southern Fujian is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the new policy cannot be bathed for a while. In the officialdom, it is unreasonable to have no market conditions. There are always villains..."

Zhu Cilang raised his hand and signaled him not to make excuses.

Zheng Zhilong immediately cut off the topic: "The criminal minister is willing to redeem the crime of corruption with huge sums of money." Seeing the crown prince nodding, he said carefully again: "I just don't know what the highness said is dereliction of duty..."

"It was the matter of the Red Barbarians stealing my Taiwan." Zhu Cilang said: "Taiwan is the hometown of China. It was your indulgence and acquiescence that allowed the Red Barbarians to build a city on the island."

Zheng Zhilong thought it was a problem of the tenant change, but he thought that he was not a civil affairs official. It was a bit far-fetched to use this to commit crimes.

Unexpectedly, what the Crown Prince said was the red barbarians on Taiwan Island!

In Zheng Zhilong's eyes, Taiwan cannot be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty at all!

He didn't know about the previous dynasty, but he had heard of Li Dan and Yan Siqi's opening of the stage. At that time, the court could not even distinguish between the officials from the island or the port, let alone set up officials to manage it. As for his own management of the port, he was completely self-employed, so what did he do with the court?

"Taiwan Island and the mainland of China seem to be divided, but in fact they are just a corner of the mainland that extends. They have contacts with all the dynasties of China..."

——Japan is the same. Why don’t you say that Japan is the hometown of China?

Zheng Zhilong complained in his heart.

"...Penghu Inspection Department was established since the Yuan Dynasty, which governed the Penghu Islands and Taiwan. Our dynasty followed it..."

——Just when Governor Chen Yourong visited Taiwan Island once when he was in Fujian, there were only the Fong soldiers on Penghu Island, and they were not suitable for the design. Can this be considered?

Zheng Zhilong was still a little dissatisfied, and only felt that the crown prince had heard some old news from the Taiwan Strait from somewhere, so he acted as an expert in front of him.

"I ordered you to recover Taiwan. What is the effect until today? Is my order unable to mobilize you?" Zhu Cixuan said.

"Your Highness's clarification!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly said: "The red barbarians on Taiwan Island are nothing but I just wait for me to complete the military preparations. With the wind of trade, you can fight at any time."

"This is not what the general should say." Zhu Cixuan said coldly: "Don't go back today. I will customize a strategy for restoring Taiwan with my subordinates. After Taiwan was defeated, the court sent herders officials, and the Fujian Navy would transfer immigration. In the future, Taiwan will set up a Maritime Department, and all taxes will be transferred to the court. You cannot embezzle it. If there is a smuggling ship on the sea, you will be blamed. This is considered to be a crime of dereliction of duty!"

Zheng Zhilong felt cold sweat when he heard this, but he finally let go of his heart when he knew that his power was still there. As for whether to smuggle, is the crown prince able to decide the final decision? He is not afraid to agree first.

Zhu Cixuan said in a gentle tone: "Do you know where the Red and Yi Kingdom is? How did it open up overseas territory?"

Zheng Zhilong was a Dutch translator and was quite confident in the origin of the Red Barbarians. He immediately talked and wanted to show his abilities and increase his weight in the return of Taiwan, which would inevitably add fuel to the fire.

After listening quietly, Zhu Cixuan sighed, "Your knowledge dares to say that you can return to the stage, which really makes me worried."

Zheng Zhilong choked immediately. Is there anyone in the Ming Dynasty who knows Hongyi better than him?

Zhu Cixuan asked the adjutant to take the map of the nations, spread it left and right, and took a long whip: "The Red and White House is not the Dutch, the Netherlands is just a province of the Red and White House. The so-called Red and White House in our dynasty should be translated as the "Federal Republic of the Netherlands". The country was originally a lowland Germany and ruled by the Spanish. In the 45th year of Jiajing, the people of his country rioted and established a country. The lord was called "ruling", and there was no king you called."

Zheng Zhilong was embarrassed, but was shocked by the fineness on the map. He secretly confirmed the island and country that he knew, and there was no error.

Zhu Cilang was too lazy to teach Zheng Zhilong history lessons, so he handed the long whip to the staff officer beside him and signaled him to continue.

This staff officer was an elite drawn from the First Army. After entering Fujian, he was responsible for sorting out information from the Taiwan Strait and understanding the current situation in Nanyang. He naturally worked hard on foreigners who appeared in his front yard. He even asked someone to buy a dictionary published by Jingshi University and taught himself the Spanish and Portuguese languages.

Although he was just a captain, he did not have any awe when he stood in front of Zheng Zhilong.

"In the 30th year of Wanli, that is, the 1602nd year of Taisi Li." The staff spoke clearly: "The Netherlands established the United East India Company and set up a Governor General to open a town in Batavia, the State of Java. In addition, a merchant store was set up in important areas of trade, and the commander was the commander. He called Taiwan Holmosa, which means beauty. There was only the governor of Holmosa here, and there was no so-called "governor" by Governor Zheng."

Zheng Zhilong's face was hot. It would be fine if he was criticized by the crown prince, but even such a small officer dared to criticize him in person. It was really unbearable.

"Captain Fang Jiahong and Governor Zheng jointly formulate a strategy for restoring Taiwan, hoping that they will do their best." Zhu Cixuan looked at the clock in the tent. The meeting time had been too long, and the following were to summon the members of the Hong family in Fujian who came to apologize. Because of Hong Chengchou's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the entire Wurongweng and Wengshan Hong family felt deeply ashamed - of course, they were very glorious in the original historical time and space.

This time, the Hong family was led by the clan leader, and the heads of each room at the east and west halls were with him, especially Hong Chengchou's younger brother, Hong Cheng-chan, who carried a thorn and came to apologize.

Zhu Ciying didn't want to waste time on this, but thinking that Hong's family was a prominent family in Fujian Province. In the future, they had to appease the local area and develop Taiwan, so they still took time to meet them. In fact, Hong Chengchou's betrayal had nothing to do with them, but when Hong Chengchou was in power for a while, they had to share the benefits, and now it is natural to be implicated.

"The Wanghong family will put the country first in the future, and don't give up such people who are insulting their families again." After Zhu Cixuan finished speaking the cliché, he brought tea to see the guests.

However, the Hong family cried bitterly and was grateful, and they all swear to swear and then retreated.

Although there is no telephone or network in this era, the heavy workload is not reduced at all. When Zhu Cixuan met the Hong family, he had only had time to take two steps in the central military tent, and then received summary of military and political reports from various localities and progress reports of various national engineering projects. These must be carefully reviewed and paid attention to every detail as much as possible. Once there is something unknown, people will report it again.

The so-called "management is a sight to be seen." It is by no means false.

...

Lu Suyao sat in the tent outside the tent, feeling so frustrated that she was always difficult to concentrate on doing things. For a moment, mosquitoes were flying around in front of her eyes, which really made people more and more irritable.

"It should be replaced by the incense in the central army's tent?" Lu Suyao finally couldn't help but shout.

The female official outside hurried in and explained: "Auntie, it's not long since."

Lu Suyao said oh, and finally said, "Why is it so stuffy in southern Fujian? It's always sticky and thick, it's really annoying."

The female official said, "This is the case in this place. Aunt, have more tea?"

Lu Suyao nodded, picked up the teapot at hand, and drank it regardless of her appearance. Most of the warm tea was in her stomach, and the sweat was suddenly stimulated, making her feel much more relaxed.

"It is said that there must be an antidote in places where poisonous insects appear. Tieguanyin is born in southern Fujian, so this is probably the answer." Lu Suyao stroked her chest and let out a long sigh.

The female official hurriedly stepped forward to take Lu Suyao's tea jar and went out to pick up the tea.

Fujian people like to use small cups to drink tea, just one peck each cup. Idle people can drink it slowly for a day, but it is too inconvenient for busy people. So Sherenke sent a special person to make tea and pour tea, and then put it in a tank and send it to the crown prince and his entourage.

Lu Suyao felt relieved and finally could see the words on the document clearly. She flipped through the summary of each file and took out a text with a blue label.

That was a question book sent by the medical school. (To be continued...)
