Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 58

"Zheng Jing's brain was kicked by a donkey?"

That straightforward sentence choked Chen Jinnan half to death.

Reflexively, he wanted to scold Liu Dapao with a straight face, but he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his lips.

In the final analysis, the Yanping Palace owed him a lot, but Liu Dapao owed nothing to the Yanping Palace. Even since Liu Dapao succeeded in killing officials and taking over, the help Tiandihui could give him was actually extremely limited.

People's hearts are fleshy, and Chen Jinnan took great risks to organize the Tiandihui in the mainland for the great cause of anti-Qing, but what he got in return was the Yanping Palace's suspicion of him day by day, how could he not To make him feel cold?
As for myself, at any rate, I have received the kindness of Lord Guoxing, and he himself is indeed a courtier of Yanping Palace, but this Liu Dapao has neither been to Wanwan nor met Yanping King himself. To put it bluntly, he is the only one involved with Yanping Palace Just myself.

It is human nature to utter some evil words under the heart of resentment.

Immediately, he calmly said: "This is a big matter, so I want...to ask my junior to discuss it together."

Liu Dapao also smiled wryly when he heard the words, and he could understand Chen Jinnan's difficulties because of the change of location. The pressure from above and below was on him. Now, the conflict between Chaozhou Mansion and Yanping Palace is already very acute, and in the future only will become sharper.

It's hard to be a daughter-in-law between two wives.

After calming down slightly, Liu Dapao said silently: "To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the current Chaozhou government and his Yanping Palace to coexist, right, or, Chaozhou government and the Dutch East India Company, at least drive them out of Jinmen Return to Wanwan to ensure the smooth progress of the Qinghe Sea Trade, and I will use this money to accumulate strength and wait for the right time."

"Or, I will join hands with him to drive away the Dutch, and at the same time, use my surrender to completely destroy the foundation of the Qing court's navy. In this way, the maritime trade will naturally be re-monopolized by the Yanping Palace, so as to repeat the old stories of Zheng Zhilong and Guo Xingye. "

"Let me be more blunt. Although everyone is against the Qing Dynasty, there is now a conflict in fundamental interests. Either the Yanping Palace will annex me, or the Yanping Palace will cooperate with me, but there are quite a few of them that I will annex them." meaning."

"And since I am your apprentice, the Tiandihui is nominally a vassal force of the Yanping Palace, so it seems that I am obediently annexed by it, and it should be justified, that's what it means."

Chen Jinnan nodded and said: "Sure enough, I knew you could see clearly. Everyone is anti-Qing and Fuming. Da Pao, you must not learn from the old things of Nanming. Before the enemy comes, your own people will fight fiercely first, which will lead to Everything falls short, the overall situation is the most important!"

"The overall situation is important? Master, if the overall situation is really important, I really can't return to Shunyanping Prince's Mansion, not to mention that I have just become the general manager for a few days, so I really want to pack the entire navy and give it to Zheng Jing. It's an easy thing, even if I do it, and let him dominate the sea, it's nothing more than restoring the power of Lord Guoxing before his death."

"Master, I heard that you were born as the chief guard of Lord Guoxing, and you must be much more familiar with the story of Lord Guoxing than I am. Then tell me, how Ming Zheng's navy changed from back then to what it is now. What about it? I heard that when the Spaniards were in Manila, they had to prepare two copies of silver. They were usually used to buy goods, and one was used to pay tribute to the lord of the country. But today, the Dutch only paid [-]. How many plywood boats defeated you so badly? I am afraid that even if I, the Chaozhou navy, did not take action, you might not necessarily be able to defeat the Dutch devils, right?"

"Naturally, this is because after the death of Lord Guo Xing, there was no leader in Yanping Wangfu. First, the civil war broke out between Zhengzhou and Zhengzhou, and then the fourth Xiamen war broke out. Among the generals of Yanping Wangfu, seven or eight of them have been retreated. It can be regarded as recovering some vitality, but compared to before, it is completely different."

"Then I dare to ask Master, why there was a civil war between the two Zhengs, why the Yanping Palace was defeated so miserably in the fourth Xiamen naval battle, and why did Guo Xing, who is known as the overlord of the sea, retreat to the bay again?"

"It's because... because the Qing court banned the sea."

"That's right, it is precisely because the Qing court banned the sea, especially when Kangxi had just ascended the throne and had not yet taken charge of the government. During the first two years when Oboi presided over the ban on the sea, the Qing court killed the southeast coast to the point where there were no chickens crowing for thousands of miles, and there was no human habitation for thousands of miles, but Indeed, it cut off Lord Guoxing's fortune and disturbed Lord Guoxing's military spirit."

"Prior to this, although Lord Guoxing lost more than he won in land battles against the Qing court, and even suffered occasional small defeats in sea battles, overall there were not many surrenders. To put it bluntly, the business was gone. He From whom to collect protection money? So... If I really lead the army to surrender to him as Zheng Jing said, yes, even if I admit that everyone uses the same pot and the meat rots in the pot, he is not afraid of being cleared. Did Ting lift the pot?"

"Even if the Qing government has more people, what are the common people? The imperial court has just issued an order to allow the restoration of the border. If there is another large-scale relocation to the sea, I am afraid that there will be millions more lonely souls and wild ghosts in this world." Now, Master, are you really going to gamble the great cause of anti-Qing Dynasty and the lives of these millions of people on Kangxi's kindness and compassion?"

"That's all. Master, if you want to talk to the uncle, just talk. I won't participate. I'm too sleepy and tired. I'll go back to sleep. You tell me tomorrow morning to decide. If uncle, Brother Hui and others If everyone agrees with me to attack Xiamen, then I agree."

As he said that, Liu Dapao actually closed the door directly, and left Chen Jinnan outside.

As for Chen Jinnan, he just stood there blankly at the door of Liu Dapao for nearly half an hour.

After a while, it was Lei Zhentian who appeared behind him at some point, handed over a jug of wine that was clearly overheated, and said: "The master-student relationship between the two of you is weak in the first place, and you forced him like this. Do you want to be forced to die?"

However, Chen Jinnan raised his head and glanced at the dim moonlight in the sky, which was not bright at all: "The land in Shenzhou is sinking, and the mountains and rivers are falling. Is it true that we are going to repeat the old things of Nanming, and there will be internal strife just as soon as there is a turn for the better?"

Lei Zhentian didn't answer the question, but asked: "Senior brother, how many years have we known each other?"

"How old am I? I've known you since you can remember. Since you asked this, if you think about it, I understand what you mean. King Yanping... I can only try my best to deal with it. ..."

"You don't need to deal with senior brothers, and you don't need to embarrass yourself. In fact, I have already anticipated what happened today, and Feng Zhenhai and I have already discussed it. Since you are here, I will just tell you. I, Lao Feng, Xiao Zhao, you have already made a decision, my punishment hall, Xiao Zhao's Chaozhou sub-helm, and Lao Feng's Honghua hall, will withdraw from the Tiandihui from now on!"
