Chapter 709
This place in Sulu was run by the Zheng family for at least ten years. During this period, there were not a few Han people who traveled overseas to make a living. In addition, the Zheng family moved with their family, and there were even more Han people there.

Liu Hongjian was just a little distressed. Since Confucianism ruled the world with benevolence and justice, why did this benevolence and justice disappear in the face of short-term interests?

It's like when I had an awkward fight with the kid next door when I was a child, and I couldn't run to someone's house to teach him a lesson. Now a gang of robbers came from outside and killed him directly.

Will you still be happy?

"My lord's words are wrong! I just..." Zhang Tianlu was talking vigorously, and was about to be annoyed when someone interrupted, but found that the person who interrupted was Liu Hongjian, so he softened his tone again.

But Nai He didn't finish his sentence and was interrupted again.

"We are Han people. Han people should not watch their compatriots being slaughtered. Even if they are guilty, this crime can only be dealt with by us, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere!" Liu Hongjian's tone was not too intense, but he was still silent in his heart. The slander made you a big-headed ghost.

He found that he was too harsh on these courtiers. After all, these people who are familiar with poetry and books did not receive nine years of compulsory education like him.

He himself knows Zheng Sen's ambitions, including the old Zheng Zheng Zhilong. Although this person is a bit rough, he has made great contributions to Daming. Isn't it enough to keep the imperial court's coast safe for more than 20 years?
As for people collecting protection fees, who asked your court not to collect them? If you don't collect them, why don't you let others collect them?
It's just that Liu Hongjian understands these reasons, but it would take a lot of effort to explain them to the elders present, and he didn't have that much patience.

"Liu Qing means that the imperial court should send the navy to support the Zheng family?" Zhu Cihong waved at the embarrassed Zhang Tianlu, motioning him to sit down and asked softly.

He felt that Liu Hongjian was a bit harsh on his teacher, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Liu Hongjian was his teacher back then, even though he didn't seem to have any lessons.

"Of course we can be saved, but we can't just go there." Liu Hongjian stroked his chin with just stubble in thought.

Cheng Zhi, the new scholar of Jianji Palace who joined the cabinet, was still waiting to say something for his old boss Zhang Tianlu. As soon as he stood up, Pang Dahai walked up to Zhu Cihong quietly and handed him a letter.

Zhu Cihong glanced at it, then handed it to Liu Hongjian, who read it carefully and placed it on the cabinet table.

"Let's take a look. I take back what I just said. Your Majesty, I think it's time for the Beiyang Navy to go to Nanyang." Liu Hongjian said solemnly.

The reason why I just said that I can't go there directly is because the Zheng family must be rescued, but this must be raised first. The court must first have righteousness, and then it will become logical to recruit the Zheng family by the way.

Zheng Zhilong died in battle. As the eldest son of the Zheng family, Liu Hongjian believed in Zheng Sen's realization, and Zheng Sen did not disappoint him.

The letter came through the channel of the Maritime Yamen. The chief tax officer Huang Daozhou brought more detailed information about the Dongning naval battle than Jin Yiwei, and also brought back the Zheng family's request for help.

The Dongning naval battle was a complete conspiracy, a conspiracy against the Zheng family.

Hunjiang Longhou San'er is just a small character, behind him is the Cao family of Cao Sanxi who made his fortune in Liaodong. Of course, the final mastermind behind the scenes must be the Dutchman.

Cao Sanxi has always been worried about being put together by Liu Hongjian in Liaodong two years ago. He was worried about being liquidated, so he focused his development on Japan.

It's just that Japan is not easy to mess with, most of the sales are taken up by Zheng Zhilong, and the Tokugawa shogunate also trusts the Zheng family more.

At this time, the Dutchman, who was also unable to develop in Japan and Nanyang because of the Zheng family, came to his door. Cao Sanxi and the Dutchman were like the wolf and the embarrassment, they got together and became adulterous.

Poor Zheng Zhilong, a generation of heroes, because he lost the protection of the great motherland, he lost everything with one careless move. A real dragon swims in shallow water and gets caught by shrimps, a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Not as good as chicken.

The writer of the Zheng family's appeal letter was not Zheng Sen, but Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Sen's fourth uncle, Daming's martial artist, but there were two seals on it, one was Zheng Hongkui, and the other was Zheng Sen.

"Criminal Zheng Hongkui risked his life to pay homage to hear:

It is the Zheng family's fault that they were short-sighted and disregarded the country's future, but now there is an unjust Cao Sanxi who secretly colluded with the Netherlands and other foreign vassal states to jointly design and murder his brother, so that the Zheng family encountered such a catastrophe.

Before his brother Zhilong left, he said that he was born in Daming, but he didn't think about it for Daming, and he regretted it.

The guilty minister negotiated with his nephew Zheng Sen that if the country does not abandon it, the Zheng family should be court dogs.

The offender swore an oath in the name of the ancestors of the Zheng family. If there is any violation, they can be punished together.

......"

The cabinet members each picked up the letter and read it, and the letter returned to Zhu Cihong again.

The Zheng family handed over the letter to the maritime office, so they naturally knew that Huang Daozhou was the king of Anguo County, and compared to the once notorious Jin Yiwei, the Zheng family was still more willing to believe in Huang Daozhou.

"A businessman has no country, and a sage never deceives me." Zhang Tianlu said something strangely, and after finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to take a look at Liu Hongjian.

Xin said, don't you, the king of Anguo, admire merchants and merchants to rejuvenate the country?This Cao Sanxi, as a giant merchant in Liaodong, secretly colludes with the foreign vassals, so what?
Can businessmen really rejuvenate the country?Bah, the rejuvenation of the country still depends on the Confucian scholars of my generation, Zhang Tianlu thought with a cold snort.

"My lord, I heard that you had an affair with Zheng Sen, the son of the Zheng family. I don't know what kind of person this Zheng Sen is?" Cheng Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, echoed.

Idiots can understand the meaning between the words. You, Liu Hongjian, advocate the imperial support of the Zheng family so much, probably because Zheng Sen is your sworn brother. Liu?
Cheng Zhi's words seemed to be asking Liu Hongjian, but in fact he was speaking to Zhu Cihong, and his intention was not malicious.

"Master Cheng, are you questioning me?" Liu Hongjian did not answer Cheng Zhi, but raised his eyebrows and asked back, his eyes were indescribably cold.

What he hates the most in his life is such a villain's triumphant expression. He has been in Daming Lang for so long, and the official has become bigger and bigger, but he should suffer this kind of anger, which is simply unreasonable.

Jumping clown, if you dare to be presumptuous again, I will let you taste the power of this king.

"Alright, alright, dear friends, don't argue about this anymore, I have made up my mind, the Han people in Sulu are also the people of Ming Dynasty, and I definitely won't let them be massacred by foreign vassals.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a period of time, Liu Qing and the Beiyang navy have been trained several times, so it's time to go out and let the foreigners see them.

I just don’t know how much chance our Daming Navy has if we deal with the Dutch, the big and the small Francine at the same time? "Zhu Cihong got up and acted as a peacemaker, and said to Liu Hongjian again.

Although Zhu Cihong felt that he had no great talent or strategy, but with his conscience, as the Son of Heaven, who would not want to reproduce the grand occasion of Emperor Chengzu's fleet sailing to the West, where thousands of people filled the court and worshiped everywhere...

"Back to the emperor, I have no chance of winning!" Liu Hongjian replied very simply.
