Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 614 I have endured you for a long time

"I'll give you three options for the Zheng family." Liu Hongjian scoffed at Zheng Zhifeng's proposal.

"My lord, please tell me, I will listen carefully." Zheng Zhifeng said very flatly.

With the proposal just now, he managed to convince his elder brother Zheng Zhilong, but now the young prince in front of him is not moved at all, which makes Zheng Zhifeng very depressed.

"The first option is that the Zheng family will hand over all their warships and troops, keep all their property, and move to the interior of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court will reward you with the official title of the Zheng family and guarantee the safety of your Zheng family."

Liu Hongjian stared at Zheng Zhifeng and said the negotiating request that he had already thought about.

How much property does your Zheng family have, I don't know and don't want to know, I will give you official honors, ensure the safety of your family, and go to the mainland of Daming to enjoy happiness.

Of course, this official must be a loose order, and Liu Hongjian must not have lied about ensuring safety. This is because this security has two sides, one is protection, and the other can be said to be surveillance.

Han Yu, who was sitting by the side, was also very relieved when he heard Liu Hongjian's words, thinking that the prince is reliable this time!

If this is really the case, Daming can get rid of a major disaster and get so many warships and troops.

Han Yu still closed his eyes and meditated, but he had already shouted 666 in his heart.

"This……"

"Ahem——" Zheng Zhifeng wanted to say something, but saw the older guard standing behind him coughing.

"My lord, I just said that if the Zheng family's navy is not at the helm of the Zheng family, it will inevitably cause civil strife, and I don't think the imperial court wants to see such a situation.

Therefore, I am sorry that I cannot agree to this proposal, so please ask the prince to say the second one! "Zheng Zhifeng slightly turned her head and glanced at the back, then turned her head and said.

To be honest, this proposal was the most in line with the requirements of the Ming court, and it was also the most pertinent solution that Liu Hongjian thought of from the court's point of view. At the same time, it also took into account the prosperity and safety of the Zheng family.

It's just that everything has to be considered on both sides. Will a person who has been in power for decades be willing to retire and enjoy the blessings?
In the world, if Uncle Chongzhen put down his butcher's knife, oh no, how many people are there who put down their power and position and enjoy their old age in peace?
Zheng Zhifeng thinks more than Liu Hongjian. Now the Zheng family needs ships and soldiers, and those who have more money can recruit more Siamese, Luzon, and Indonesian soldiers to fight at any time.

If these are handed over, the Zheng family will become a man who treats me like a fish and meat. Who knows if the court will go back on its word, or settle accounts after the fall?

To put it bluntly, it means distrust, and it is difficult for this trust to have any effect verbally.

"The second option is that the Zheng family surrenders their wealth, Zheng Zhilong relinquishes the position of Patriarch, and Zheng Sen needs to be in charge of the Zheng family's navy." Liu Hongjian was not angry, and said in a calm tone.

The first suggestion that the Zheng family disagreed was expected by Liu Hongjian. Since you said that the Zheng family's navy must be led by the Zheng family, then this king will obey you.

Zheng Sen is the eldest son of your Zheng family, Zheng family, is he qualified?Is it your Zheng family?

As for Zheng Sen's character, no one in the world knows better than Liu Hongjian, even his old man Zheng Zhilong may not be able to match him.

Zheng Zhilong was illiterate, wandered and fought hard all his life, and admired the great Confucianists in the south of the Yangtze River so much that he spent a lot of money to force his eldest son Zheng Sen to study Confucianism in the Imperial Academy of Nanjing.

It’s just that history seems to be joking. Lao Zheng, who spent money to send Xiao Zheng to learn loyalty and patriotism, finally surrendered Qing, and the old Qian who taught Xiao Zheng Zhongjun and patriotism was also demoted because he thought the water was cold and shaved his head and scalp.

Zheng Zhilong does everything for profit, whoever he follows can survive, whoever he follows can earn money, whose power defecates to whomever he depends on, but the army must be firmly in his own hands.

Xiao Zheng, who has been influenced by Confucianism of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but retains the blood of the pirate father, is different. He understands what is national righteousness and what is integrity.

When Lao Zheng went to the Qing army camp to surrender alone, Xiao Zheng resolutely carried the banner of anti-Qing and supporting the Ming Dynasty, and followed the Nanming court sword and fire.

Even though most of the Nanming officials surrendered one after another in the end, Xiao Zheng retreated to Xiamen, Kinmen, and Ryukyu and still refused to surrender.
The reason why Liu Hongjian dared to let Xiao Zheng take the helm of the Zheng family's navy was all because of Xiao Zheng's integrity. If Xiao Zheng took charge of the Zheng's navy, at least he could guarantee that this powerful force would obey the imperial court's orders, and everything would be fine by then. up.

Liu Hongjian knew about Xiao Zheng's character and everything about Xiao Zheng, but Han Yu didn't.

When Uncle Han heard that Liu Hongjian had agreed to let the Zheng family continue to manage the Zheng family's navy, he opened his eyes anxiously and wanted to stop him.

But before he could speak, the middle-aged man behind Zheng Zhifeng fell ill again.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough—" The middle-aged man clenched his fist and coughed twice dryly.

"Hey, you bastard, this king has tolerated you for a long time! Are you suffering from tuberculosis or something?" Liu Hongjian said with a glaring look at the old coughing strong man.

"Zheng Zhifeng, it's not that I'm talking about you, but you're also a senior general of the Zheng family. You should at least find some tall, strong and skilled guards. Isn't it too irresponsible for you to find such an old guy as a guard? "Liu Hongjian teased.

"My lord, forgive me...the reason... is actually... oh yes, it's because I injured my cervical spine during the battle in the early years, and the pain can't be relieved without human massage, and this guard is proficient in massage, so I have been here Stay with me."

Zheng Zhifeng stammered and explained.

"Oh? So he's a massage expert...emmm, it just so happens that my king's shoulders are sore these past two days. I wonder if I can invite this expert to come over for a massage?" Seeing Zheng Zhifeng stuttering and getting confused, Liu Hongjian said casually .

"This..." Zheng Zhifeng was a little embarrassed.

This made Liu Hongjian even more surprised, thinking that since he is just an ordinary servant, he has already spoken in person, why are you still embarrassing?

There must be something strange about this!

"My lord Haihan, I will follow orders!" Before Zheng Zhifeng could answer, the middle-aged uncle handed over his orders and walked towards Liu Hongjian.

It's just that the uncle just put his hands on Liu Hongjian's shoulders, and Chang Yu, Niu Dabangchui and others who were waiting at the side became anxious, thinking that the prince is really messing around, this is an enemy, if this man is strong enough to put your neck It can be fixed if it is broken.

Kuo Duan moved his hand casually, picked up the AKM and pointed at the uncle's back, completely unaware that if he really fired the gun, even Liu Hongjian would be beaten right through.

On the contrary, Liu Hongjian was enjoying the uncle's massage service very calmly.

He knew in his heart that whether it was he or Zheng Zhifeng, if they dared to negotiate, they definitely wanted to reach a resolution acceptable to both parties.

And neither side has any deep hatred, killing the person in front of them will only bring the most unwanted result.

This is also the reason why Liu Hongjian knew that AKM was in his hand and had the ability to instantly kill all the Zheng family members in the house without giving an order.

"Use a little force in your hand, haven't you eaten?"
