Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 600 Gift Giving

On the side of the General Military Mansion of Dongjiang Town, Wu Sangui was a little sad.

Although Zheng Zhilong had told him that even if he had to retreat to Denglai, the emperor would not blame him.However, in this situation, if he can fight a few battles and make some contributions, it will eventually increase his favor in front of the emperor.

However, the wicked Jianlu didn't even give him a chance.Judging from the news sent back from Yebushou, Jianlu was heavily guarded along the coast, sent messages with beacon fire, and stationed several elite cavalry troops, making it impossible for him to attack.

If you insist on fighting, you can actually do it.However, the loss will definitely be relatively large, which is a price he is not willing to pay.

On this day, Wu Sangui thought about it, so he still went to Zheng Zhilong to discuss it, and asked Zheng Zhilong in a very low posture: "Old Zheng, look, is there any way for the navy, can you find more landing places, Avoid Jianlu's sentry and send my cavalry ashore?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong spread his hands and said, "I'm a foreigner, and I'm really not familiar with North Korea. Your subordinate, Kong Youde, right? He should be the most familiar with North Korea, and I've already asked him. Speaking of infantry, There may be other places, but where the cavalry can go ashore, Jianlu has already arranged sentries. What else can I do?"

Wu Sangui heard this and knew he was telling the truth.Because before he came to Zheng Zhilong, he had already looked for Kong Youde, and discussed with the map of North Korea. There was no one who was suitable for cavalry landing and was not monitored by Jianlu.

Obviously, Jianlu knew that Dongjiang Town had cavalry as the main force, so he made targeted deployments.

He came to see Zheng Zhilong, who was also a dead horse as a living horse doctor.It's just that there was no accident, and he was disappointed again.

At this time, he had to consider whether to use his subordinates as an infantry army and go ashore to fight for a while, which was unexpected to Jianlu.

When Wu Sangui was thinking about this, suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside, it was Zheng Zhilong's personal guards who came over and told Zheng Zhilong: "The imperial ship has arrived, do you want to go there to meet it?"

The navy is under the control of Zheng Zhilong, and all the ships that come and go are naturally under the control of Zheng Zhilong.Zheng Zhilong also knew exactly what ship and where it came from.

Hearing that there is a boat coming, it's okay anyway, if it's a big shot, it's not good to neglect it.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong will go to greet him.Wu Sangui bumped into it, so naturally he followed.

"Old Zheng, it's not yet time for the supply ship to come. The ship is coming at this time. Could it be a reaction to the presence of the Japanese army in North Korea?" Wu Sangui asked as he walked.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong felt that this was unlikely.Because of the real inside story, the commander of Jin Yiwei had already reported it to the emperor, and there should not be any targeted instructions at this time.But in front of Wu Sangui, he nodded and said, "It should be!"

If the answer was no, he would probably be questioned. He didn't even bother to say it, so he followed Wu Sangui's wishes.

But to be honest, Zheng Zhilong himself was a little curious, what was the purpose of the imperial court sending the boat over, or was there some important person coming over?
With doubts, the two quickly rushed to Phi Island Wharf.

At this time, the boat from the imperial court was just about to dock.Looking at the few people standing on the deck, Zheng Zhilong recognized them as members of Jin Yiwei.

The one in the lead should be the confidant of Jin Yiwei Commander Li Ruolian.When he went to Wa country, he was the one who accompanied Li Ruolian.

If I remember correctly, it seems to be a hundred households.Although his military rank was a bit low, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to neglect, told Wu Sangui something in a low voice, and then hurried over to meet him.

When Wu Sangui heard that Jin Yiwei was here, he felt a little hypocritical.Regardless of civil servants or generals, they don't like to deal with factory guards.

But it's all here, and he wouldn't have the guts to turn around and leave at this time.

Seeing that Wu Sangui was there, this Jinyiwei hundred household clasped his fists and greeted Wu Sangui first: "I met Marshal Wu, I have something to do here, and I need to speak to Marshal Zheng alone, please go ahead!"

"..." Wu Sangui was stupefied when he heard this, but he quickly came back to his senses and responded politely. After turning around and walking for a long time, he turned around to look at the situation and found that Zheng Zhilong's back had just disappeared in front of him. in the cabin.

This made him a little suspicious. Recalling that before, Zheng Zhilong knew about the Japanese army, but he didn't; now that Jin Yiwei came so far, he was looking for Zheng Zhilong on purpose, which made him a little suspicious. What kind of conspiracy is there? ?

But when it came to the factory guard, he was just curious and didn't dare to inquire.

After looking back like this, he went back by himself.

Besides, for Zheng Zhilong, once he entered the cabin, he was naturally guarded by Jin Yiwei, and no outsiders would disturb him.

At this time, the Jinyiwei Baihu smiled and said to Zheng Zhilong: "The emperor knows about your wife and son in the Wa Kingdom, and has decreed that they will be rescued before the battle."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong was startled.He didn't expect it to be such a news.

When he came back to his senses, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being a little moved and a little shocked.

What moved him was that the emperor had personally intervened in this matter to save him any worries; what shocked him was that he felt that there was nothing he could do, at least for the time being, he couldn't think of how to save Tian Chuanmatsu and his second son.However, the emperor has a way to save?

Could it be that the legendary Jinyiwei spy?

When he was thinking about it, he heard the hundred households say to him again: "Didn't the commander make an appointment with the slave chief to do business? I came here this time and specially brought you these materials for business." , you go to Shenyang for a run."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong came back to his senses, first thanked the emperor for saving his wife and children, and then said curiously: "Are you going now? Is there any purpose?"

"Well, it should be sooner rather than later!" Jin Yiwei Baihu nodded and replied, "Your Majesty wants you to go to Shenyang to see how the situation is in Jianlu? , I don’t know much. If you have this opportunity, just inquire about it. Don’t force it, just get as much information as you can!”

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong felt that the matter was not difficult, so he nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Based on his years of experience, he felt that there must be more than one purpose as simple as this.

Sure enough, upon hearing his question, the Jinyiwei Baihu nodded again, but did not speak immediately, but led him into the cabin, took out a beautifully decorated box from a suitcase, and put it carefully On the coffee table, and then cautiously opened the box.

Zheng Zhilong looked very curious. From his point of view, this exquisite box should contain valuables.Could it be that the imperial court really prepared valuables and asked him to give them to the leaders of Jianlu?
To be honest, he found it somewhat impossible.

Under his gaze, Jin Yiwei Baihu quickly opened the exquisite box, pointed to the contents inside and said: "This is a set of exquisite wine sets specially made in the capital, a set with wine jugs, matching wine glass."

After Zheng Zhilong listened to the introduction, he looked intently, and what was placed there was indeed a set of exquisite drinking utensils.

The material doesn't seem very good, it seems to be made of silver, but the key point is that the workmanship of this set of wine utensils is very exquisite, and it can be seen that it is made by famous masters.

To be honest, even though Zheng Zhilong has seen many of them, he likes this set of drinking utensils.Maybe it was made by the most famous craftsman in the capital, and it really can't be made in other places.

To be honest, at this moment, he was a little confused.

As for the fact that the imperial court specially made such exquisite wine utensils for Jianlu?
When Zheng Zhilong was admiring and thinking about it, he heard the Jinyiwei Baihu remind him: "Remember, you gave this wine set to that traitor Hong Chengchou, understand?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being stunned again.Not to the slave chieftains, but to Hong Chengchou, the former governor of Jiliao who surrendered to Jianlu?
To be honest, even if he thought he was old and cunning, he still couldn't figure it out.

The imperial court sent him there to do business, and it was definitely to deal with the regent of Jianlu. Only in this way could it be possible to obtain more information, which cannot be obtained from the outside under normal circumstances.

What's the use of giving it to Hong Chengchou?As for the need to specially create such a set of exquisite drinking utensils for him?
Seeing Zheng Zhilong's expression, Jin Yiwei Baihu knew what he was thinking, lowered his voice, and said softly to Zheng Zhilong: "This set of wine is poisonous, and it will kill that traitor Hong Chengchou!"

"Ah..." Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being very surprised when he heard it.

He can understand Hong Chengchou's life!
He can understand that he specially built a set of drinking utensils just for Hong Chengchou's life!
But the problem is, after people collect this wine set, they will definitely check it carefully, right?Your wine is poisonous, if he finds out, how will you poison him?
By the way, and if the wine was found to be poisonous, and he did not escape from Jianlu's territory, wouldn't it be possible to implicate himself?
Even if Hong Chengchou was not found to be poisoned in the drinking utensils, and Hong Chengchou was poisoned to death, as long as he did not escape from Jianlu's territory, he would probably be implicated himself, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't figure it out again.

The imperial court wanted to poison Hong Chengchou to death, wouldn't it be necessary to exchange his life for it?

Just now he already knew clearly that the imperial court wanted him to go to Shenyang in person!
Zheng Zhilong also understood in his heart that his life could not be exchanged for Hong Chengchou's. The only explanation was that there was a very delicate mechanism in the wine set, which could ensure that Hong Chengchou would not be able to see through it, and would not poison him immediately.

That's the only way you won't hurt yourself!
