Chapter 1036:Zheng Zhilong Surrenders to Wei

Zheng Sen listened to Gan Hui's report, left his official duties, and got up from the handsome case.

He walked back and forth a few steps back and forth in the account, suddenly stopping, “Are you sure it is the one sent by Wei Thie?”

Gan Hui nodded and said quietly, “It is true, it seems to come from Jiangnan Shilin leader Qian Qianyi!”

“It is him!”Zheng Sen's face was thorny, and he was not ashamed, walked to the front of the shelf, took the helmet, took the treasure knife, "go, follow me into the city."

Fuzhou, Zheng Zhilongfu residence, Zheng family members, etc., gathered together to discuss.

The family of pirates and merchants such as the Zheng family is respected by Zheng Zhilong, but each house also has a certain strength, and Zheng Zhilong still needs to discuss with them.

At this time, in the lobby, Zheng's people whisper, Zheng Zhilong waved his hand screen and retreated to the tea point, and then said quietly: "Quiet!"

The people sitting on both sides immediately silted up, looking at Zheng Zhilong with their eyes.

"The great Wei emperor ordered the shepherd to send a letter, willing to be the lord of the kingdom to be sent to me, of course, you will have a reward."He asked, “What do you think of this?”

People turned around and said a few words, Zheng Zhibao smiled: "Brother, what is there to think about this, Wei Jun has occupied Jiangnan, the soldiers are coming to the Xianxiaguan, with the strength of a province in Fujian, how to fight against the strong Wei."Since the great Wei emperor has been sent down, it is really good."

Zheng Cai got up and held his fist, "Big brother, nephew thinks that the return of Wei Wei is in line with the general trend."So my Zheng family can avoid military disasters, get high officials, but also to keep the interests of the sea, why not?"

Zheng Hongyi was silent and did not give any opinion on the matter.

Zheng Zhilong glanced at the crowd, saw that the vast majority of the family, are in favor of surrendering Dawei, he slightly bowed his head, then hesitated: "Now Dawei really occupy the general trend, I also have the intention of throwing Wei in my heart, but the emperor Dawei in addition to giving me the title, but also put forward a request for our Zheng family."

The Zheng family is a family of pirates and merchants, they pay more attention to their family's interests than the country.

Therefore, in the face of the general trend, most of the Zheng family did not have the determination to resist, because in their view, in order to spend Zheng's money and food and the life of their children in the Ming Dynasty, there is no gain, it is not worth it.

Zheng Zhibao asked, “Brother, what does the Emperor Dawei want us to do?”

Zheng Zhilong said quietly: "The Dawei Emperor asked the Zheng family to hand over the control of the water master, and when the Zheng family conducts maritime trade, it needs to pay taxes according to the law of Dawei, and must not collect the sea tax privately."

Gao Yihuan means that the high officials to treat the Zheng family, Zheng family to continue to engage in maritime trade, but must be separated from the army, do a regular maritime business, can not rob the interests of the Wei Dynasty.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the Zheng family made nearly ten million profits from the sea every year, a large part of it selfishly collected sea taxes.

The Dawei court is equivalent to wanting to get back the sea tax and impose tariffs on the sea trade with Zhengjia.

This undoubtedly damaged the interests of the Zheng family, so that the Zheng family, who originally wanted to surrender to Dawei, had differences.

The leopard frowned, “What does Big Brother think?”

Zheng Zhilong said quietly: "Now the general situation is difficult to stop, we have huge benefits at sea, the people are nothing more than glory and wealth, and the status of the first and higher."If we fight against Dawei, we must be prepared to be the sea.At that time, we will lose Fujian, lose the source of goods, run at sea, and be regarded as a sea, it is better to accept the conditions of Dawei, do the stability of the new dynasty, and carry out formal trade, and the profits are also very rich.

Do pirates free, but also have a huge risk, after all, not a long-term road, Zheng Zhilong's inner pursuit of stability, the pursuit of being able to go ashore to wash white, from pirates to aristocracy.

Zheng Zhibao immediately said, “If that’s the case, then fall.”To be a pirate earns money, and there is no place to spend it, it is better to be a noble of the Wei Dynasty."

Zheng Zhilong said quietly: "My heart tends to submit to Dawei, but the emperor of Dawei let us Zheng family hand over the military power, if there is no military power, then I am not on the chopping board of fish meat to be slaughtered?"I'm worried about the big Wei court, the opposite of the hustle!"

Zheng Caisheng said, "Don't, I heard that the emperor of Dawei is kind and righteous, if they want to deceive us, they can not mention these conditions, since they mentioned it, their nephew felt the sincerity of the Dawei court."In addition, even if we surrender the military power, does Dawei have a water master?At that time, the water master is not still led by our Zheng family?”

Zheng Zhilong smelled the words, his eyebrows immediately opened, his most worried about losing military power, but Zheng Cai's words relieved his worries.

Whether it is Da Ming or Dawei, if you want the tranquility of the sea, you need to reuse their people in the Zheng family in Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong focused on the head, "You said it well ~~"

As he spoke, there was a noise outside the lobby, and Zheng Sen suddenly broke in.

He was wearing an armour, his hands on the war knife, and his angry eyes scanned the crowd, coldly saying, “Father, what are you doing, why don’t you call me?”

He frowned slightly and waved his hand, “You can step back first.”

Zheng Zhibao and others smelled the words, stood up, looked at Zheng Sen, and fished out of the hall.

Zheng Sen was angry, “Father, are you going to surrender to Wei Thief?”

Zheng Zhilong's face showed an unpleasant color, in recent years, Zhu Cihui pulled the status of Zheng Sen, so that Zheng Sen led the Fujian Marine, Zheng Zhilong did not want to turn his face with the Ming Dynasty, coupled with his original desire to Zheng Sen take over, so he gave the water master to Zheng Sen.

However, Zheng Zhilong did not expect that after Zheng Sen took over the water master, he dedicated to the loss of the purchase and sale, helping Zhu Cixuan to receive Beijing, guarding the Huaijiang River, guarding the Yangtze River, spending Zheng's money and food and strength, and only took the name of a national surname, so that Zheng Zhilong was very dissatisfied and began to recover Zheng Sen's power.

Zheng Zhilong saw that Zheng Sen was impertinent and could not help but look at him and glared, “It is not for your father who did this for you, for the Zheng family!”

“My father is going to fall!”Zheng Sen said sadly and indignantly: "Father and son are the courtiers of Daming, the country is in trouble, do not think about the country, but instead of throwing thieves, will laugh for the world, even if you get the official position of Wei, what kind of face is based on the world?"

Zheng Zhilong sniffed, "Big wood, you are really an Elm head, your teacher Qian Qian Yi has already invested in Wei, you still hold those rotten things."I’m sure you don’t have to say anything about it, so leave it.”

The words were finished, Zheng Zhilong walked away, and Zheng Sen looked pale for a while.

“What about the general?”Gwen asked before seeing this.

Zheng Sen held the handle of the knife in his hand, his face was tangled, and finally suddenly said: "You go outside the city, bring the soldiers in."
