Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is no doubt that Quanzhou, the hometown of Zheng Jiajing for more than ten years, is prosperous. There are hundreds of ships coming in and out of Quanzhou Port every day, but today the originally bustling port has become particularly quiet.  Dozens of huge warships surrounded the entire port. Groups of soldiers wearing green military uniforms and holding miniguns were walking off the dock from the ship. These people were the soldiers who followed the navy on the expedition. By the end of the month, there were a thousand people.  about.  On the pier, Zheng Zhilong, the former emperor of Quanzhou Prefecture and the maritime overlord of the entire Southeast Asia, led hundreds of leaders and thousands of sailors under his command, all bowing respectfully and standing on the pier, waiting for the arrival of the visitor. Many people's  His eyes were still secretly directed at the huge battleship docked quietly on the dock.  When Yue Yang walked down accompanied by Guo Jingxian and other navy generals, Zheng Zhilong took the lead to walk up and bowed deeply to Yue Yang and said solemnly: "Zheng Zhilong, the defeated general, has met Marquis Zhongyong!" As soon as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he shouted  Loud shouts rang out from the side: "Bold Zheng Zhilong, since you know that you are the defeated general, why don't you kneel down when you see the Marquis? Don't you know that you have been dismissed from your post and investigated by the imperial court?" The person who shouted loudly was exactly  Chen Dazhi, the captain of Yueyang's soldiers, lost his temper immediately when he saw that Zheng Zhilong, a defeated general, did not kneel down when he saw his boss.  Everyone's eyes also turned to Zheng Zhilong. At this time, Zheng Zhilong's face immediately turned livid and then started to turn red. Thinking of Zheng Zhilong Zongheng, who has been a boss for so many years for more than ten years, he has always only  Who dares to ask someone to kneel down when someone else does it to him? Now that he heard that someone asked him to kneel down, a murderous intention immediately surged into his heart.  But when Zheng Zhilong¡¯s eyes glanced at Yue Yang¡¯s seemingly smiling but extremely cold face, Zheng Zhilong felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down from his head.  Only then did he remember that he was no longer a coastal defense guerrilla general, but the other party was one of the most powerful relatives of the Ming Dynasty.  Isn't it ridiculous that Marquis Zhongyong, who is in charge of tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of elites in Shanxi, Shandong and Liaodong, still wants to show off in front of others?  If he offends the other party, let alone himself, I am afraid that all his cronies and tens of thousands of brothers will be implicated.  Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong's body trembled, his knees softened and he knelt down towards Yue Yang and whispered: "Zheng Zhilong, the defeated general, has paid homage to Marquis Zhongyong. I hope the Marquis will forgive me for my unreasonable behavior just now!" Zheng Zhilong knelt down like this, and behind him,  The surrendered generals then knelt down.  Yue Yang, who saw this scene, did not stop him. Instead, he waited for everyone to kneel down and then said in a deep voice: "Zheng Zhilong, you are originally a pirate. It can be said that it is a serious sin to rob homes and slaughter merchants on weekdays. You have been rewarded by the emperor's grace.  You hold the position of guerrilla general, but not only are you ungrateful, but you still indulge your subordinates in plundering. In recent years, you have repeatedly worked against the imperial navy. The emperor could not bear it, so he issued an order to remove you from your official position and let you go to Beijing to report your duties and plead guilty.  But not only did you fail to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, you actually attacked the Weihaiwei Navy. This is a heinous crime. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you will be punished!" At this point, Yue Yang's voice was filled with indescribable coldness.  Hearing this, not only Zheng Zhilong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled again, but everyone kneeling beside them also felt cold in their hearts. Is this the rhythm of settling accounts after the fall, but is it too fast?  Yue Yang doesn¡¯t know what these people are thinking.  He ignored it.  Yueyang really doesn't think highly of Zheng Zhilong as a whole. From a historical point of view, he seems to be a vicious person on the surface, and things like murder and arson are just child's play for him.  But in essence, he belongs to the type of being fierce and soft-hearted.  In front of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, they not only did not resist, but even tried to surrender, but even so, there was no good end.  After his wife was raped by Qing soldiers, she committed suicide without even daring to say no. Even so, those wild boar skins did not let him go. Later, they dragged him out and clicked him. What he encountered was not at all what Zheng Zhilong would surrender to Yueyang.  Not surprisingly, the hardness of his bones is far inferior to that of his son Zheng Chenggong.  Seeing Zheng Zhilong kneeling on the ground with a somewhat unwilling but helpless look, Yue Yang smiled coldly in his heart, but he still had to work hard on the surface. He took two steps forward and raised his hands in vain: "Master Zheng, get up." "Thank you.  "My lord!" Zheng Zhilong felt ashamed and angry, but what could he do at this moment?  Now the life and death of him and his brothers are all in the hands of the Zhongyong Marquis in front of him. If he makes others dissatisfied, I am afraid that today next year will be the death anniversary of his group.  Seeing Zheng Zhilong standing aside, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitant, "Okay, let's stop standing here and find a place to talk." After saying that, Yue Yang took the lead and walked forward.  Two quarters of an hour later, Yueyang and his party arrived at Zheng Mansion, walked into the grand gate and walked through the main building.In the pavilion of the pavilion, Yue Yang couldn't help but smile to Zheng Zhilong who was following him: "Master Zheng, this house is more magnificent than this prince's mansion, it's really rare!" Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong, who was already a little worried, felt  He twitched violently, what did Yue Yang mean by this?  Is it possible that he found excuses to deal with himself so quickly?  Two quarters of an hour later, Yue Yang looked at the uneasy Zheng Zhilong standing in front of him and said: "Master Zheng, you don't have to worry, since I have accepted your surrender, I will not hurt your life." "Thank you, Master!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly said again  Bow and say thank you.  "Don't thank me yet!" Yue Yang waved his hand: "I will give you two options now: first, you and your family leave the Ming Dynasty and settle in Japan or overseas to spend your old age; second, you take your men to Nanyang  "Which one do you choose to continue fighting for me?" Zheng Zhilong was a little stunned and looked at Yue Yang in disbelief: "Master Hou, do you still plan to use a villain?" "That depends on your performance?" Yue Yang was noncommittal.  He said: "You can't stay in Ming Dynasty's officialdom. You can either live in seclusion or work for me. Can you choose one?" Zheng Zhilong showed a look of struggle on his face. After a long time, he let out a bitter smile: "Master Hou,  , I¡¯d better go to Nagasaki to stay. I¡¯m tired from living a life of licking blood with a knife for these years.¡± ¡°That¡¯s okay!¡± Yue Yang nodded: ¡°You can prepare it and I¡¯ll take you there in a few days.  Take your family to Nagasaki." "Thank you, sir!" Zheng Zhilong was about to say thank you, but he heard Yue Yang softly ask: "Zheng Zhilong, I heard that you have a son who is very good at teaching Zheng Sen. I want him to.  What do you think of studying in Weihaiwei's naval academy for a few years? " "What?" Zheng Zhilong's heart began to tremble again.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
