Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 56

Chen Yonghua already knew that he would definitely not be able to avoid today's criticism meeting.

When he thought of the letter passed to him by his junior brother yesterday, and learned that Kangxi actually asked Liu Dapao to be in charge of the opening of the sea trade, his heart was extremely complicated.

Spending money from the imperial court to support their own private army is of course a great thing for their great cause of reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

However, every time Liu Dapao earns an extra tael of silver, the Yanping Palace will inevitably make a lot of money. Cannon also came to support the bandits.

But in this way, is Liu Dapao a subordinate of the Yanping Palace, or is their Yanping Palace a subordinate of Liu Dapao?How could Zheng Jing agree, and how could so many civil and military officials in Yanping Palace agree.

Right now, before he reported the matter, Zheng Jing had already started to get mad at him.

Today's pass is very sad.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, this incident happened suddenly. The matter of hooking up with the Dutch was probably an order directly issued by the Qing court. He may not know about the cannon. How can we inform us?"

Feng Xifan snorted coldly: "I don't know, or I don't want to say it. I went to assassinate Shi Lang this time. I escaped death and suffered heavy casualties. Your apprentice not only didn't help, but also made things worse. I managed to persuade Zhou Quanbin and Huang to surrender this time." The two old brothers Ting, in the end, were killed by your good apprentice."

"Brother Feng's words are wrong. As a spy, how can Da Pao help you blatantly? To tell the truth that you may not like to hear, isn't my disciple's identity safe when it comes to the great cause of the anti-Qing dynasty?" Is your life more secure than Brother Feng?"

"As for what you said, Zhou Quanbin and Huang Ting are going to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, not to mention whether they are sincerely seeking refuge, you know, the middle and senior generals of the entire Chaozhou Navy have already died in one day. No matter how you look at it, it’s all merit and demerit.”

Feng Xifan laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Joke, what a funny joke, you said that his identity security is more important than my sage's security, but I really don't know why his identity is so important. I didn't see the use of this undercover agent, but I first recruited Qiu Hui from Dahao Island, Dahao is a strategically important place, from then on, hehe, it is no longer owned by our Yanping Prince's Mansion."

"Didn't he ask our Yanping Palace for help? Our Yanping Palace knew that Qiu Hui was in trouble but didn't send troops to help him. Did he let Qiu Hui die if he didn't surrender? Did he die in vain? Under Da Pao's command, when the time is right, you can wear back the clothes of my Han family at any time, and set up the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty again, wouldn't that be better?"

"Based on what you're saying, it's the prince's fault if Qiu Hui surrendered?"

"You...you are simply, unreasonable."

Feng Xifan sneered, and said, "I'm unreasonable? How about Liu Dapao, a retainer of my Zheng family, beating the Second Young Master in front of me? How about threatening to get the green camp to arrest me? I see, this has already happened." It can't be explained by the word domineering. I'm afraid Liu Dapao is not a fake show. He is now the general manager of Chaozhou, and he is also a cabinet scholar. From a second-rank official in Xinjiang, how can he be willing to be a rebel? ?”

"Feng Xifan! It doesn't matter how you and I usually fight. Now that you say something like this, won't you be afraid of the hearts of the heroes fighting bloody battles on the front line?"

Feng Xifan was especially dissatisfied when he heard the words, and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zheng Jing, knocked on the table, and asked softly: "As a spy, Liu Dapao's rising status is naturally a good thing. However, what we need to look at is not where he sits, but what he can do for me and for our great cause of fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in that position. How much difference is there?"

"Yes, the king of the county, what you said is that he...he will definitely contribute to our anti-Qing cause. My junior brother Lei Zhentian has been guarding him in the name of a guard. I can assure you, Cannon has absolutely no intention of making a fake show."

Feng Xifan mocked: "Then I don't know what he, the general manager of Chaozhou, is going to do next? Is he going to attack Jinmen, or is he going to join forces with the Dutch devils to attack Penghu?"

Before Chen Yonghua could speak, Zheng Jing scolded first: "Feng Xifan, shut up, don't speculate maliciously about those righteous people lurking behind the enemy's front for no reason. But Chen Junshi, do you really want to ask Let's prepare for your precious apprentice's next move, okay?"

"This..." Chen Yonghua was in a dilemma for a while, but he had no choice but to say one thing: "Next, the imperial court wants him to prepare a special firm to start trade with the Dutch, to support the army with trade, and to escort it with the army."

In just a few words, most people may not be able to react to the Qing court, but everyone in the Yanping Palace has spent half their lives at sea, so how can they not react?

In the final analysis, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong both did this in their heyday. Regardless of Eastern merchants or Western merchant ships, they had to pay taxes to the Zheng family if they wanted to do business, and the Zheng family could only buy and sell products that were in short supply, acting as the general agent. , Now that Kangxi put it bluntly, doesn't he just want Liu Dapao to do what Zheng Zhilong did back then?

Zheng Jing couldn't help asking: "Has the Qing court agreed to open the sea?"

"The current policy of the Qing court is... to restore the border and not to open the sea, but Chaozhou can stipulate that some of the chambers of commerce that are chartered to participate in maritime trade. At present, it should be mainly trade with the Dutch."

So Zheng Jing asked the most critical question: "He started trading directly with the Dutch, so who should I start trading with? For example, as far as I know, Jingdezhen fired [-] more pieces of porcelain this year. I really want it, but if a businessman buys this batch of porcelain and can get approval from your apprentice, why would they still smuggle it to me?"

"This... is all for... It's all for the great cause of reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Da Pao believes that within two years the San Francisco will be rebelled, and he just took this opportunity to accumulate strength. I think that since Da Pao is a member of our Yanping Palace, Whether this trade falls into his hands or directly falls into the hands of our Yanping Palace, it is the same, the meat is all rotten in the pot."

Zheng Jing couldn't help but look very ugly, and said: "The meat rotted in the pot of your Tiandihui, what has it to do with my Yanping Palace?"
