The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Xuan was brave enough to speak anyway.

"Brother was confused for a while, why should father be as knowledgeable as him, you should relax."

On the surface, he was trying to persuade Zheng Chenggong to relax, but in fact he was still pleading for Zheng Jing.

Zheng Xuan knew Zheng Chenggong's violent temper. If it was normal, she wouldn't dare to talk to Zheng Chenggong like this.

Especially in the current situation where Zheng Chenggong has clearly shown his displeasure.

She must not dare to speak!
But, who told her to be pregnant now?
Her husband, the father of her child, His Highness Jian Guo of Daming, was still sitting beside her.

At this time, Zheng Xuan was confident and brave.

asked again.

"Father, don't want to be as knowledgeable as your elder brother?"

Zheng Chenggong's face turned darker, but he couldn't bear to lose his temper with his pregnant daughter in front of his son-in-law.

Just obvious displeasure!
Zhu Hongyu pursed his lips, stood up and said.

"Xuan'er can raise her baby with peace of mind, Lao Taishan, let us, Weng and my son-in-law, go have a drink!"

With his opening, he broke the awkward atmosphere.

The smile on Zheng Chenggong's face was a little awkward, but he still nodded and said.

"Listen to Your Highness!"

The two walked out side by side, and Zheng Xuan also got up and said.

"I want to be together too!"

Zhu Hongyu turned his head and said.

"You're pregnant, you can't drink alcohol!"

Zheng Xuan pouted childishly and said.

"The concubine doesn't drink, she just wants to pour wine for His Highness and father!"

Zhu Hongyu just frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat stiff tone.

"obedient!"

Zheng Xuan pursed her lips and said no more, but the expression on her face looked very aggrieved.

Zhu Hongyu gently touched Zheng Xuan's head to comfort her, and whispered in her ear.

"Be obedient, leave your brother's affairs to Gu!"

"Gu will give you a satisfactory answer!"

For the pregnant Zheng Xuan, Zhu Hongyu doted on her a little more than usual.

Naturally, it will be towards her!

Seeing Zheng Xuan nodding, Zhu Hongyu left with Zheng Chenggong.

……

Guangzhou City, Jian Guo Mansion!
In the flower hall!
Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong sat opposite each other, and the table was covered with delicious delicacies and a jar of fine wine.

The maid on the side quickly poured wine for Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong. The two toasted and clinked their glasses, and drank the fine wine in the glasses.

Zhu Hongyu looked at Zheng Chenggong and asked in a gentle voice.

"Is Lao Taishan still embarrassing about his son's affairs?"

Zheng Chenggong nodded and expressed his concerns.

"My son did absurd things, violated the rules of etiquette, and it can be regarded as losing the face of the Yanping Palace!"

"The old minister wants to change the son, but there are many opponents in the subordinates."

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, then spoke.

"Unreasonable!"

Zheng Chenggong was stunned and asked.

"Your Highness, what can't be said?"

Zhu Hongyu said with a smile.

"It's unreasonable to change the prince because of such a trivial matter!"

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong was stunned.

Indeed, because Zheng Jing got together with a wet nurse, Zheng Jing's position as the eldest son would be abolished. This reason is indeed a bit ridiculous.

Because what Zheng Jing committed was only a problem of personal morality, not a particularly serious problem of personal morality.

If it is because of such an incident, it is unreasonable to abolish Zheng Jing's position as the son of the world!
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Zheng Jun opposed Zheng Chenggong's abolition of his son one after another!
They didn't really stand in line with Zheng Jing, they just thought it was inappropriate.

After all, not everyone knows about Zheng Chenggong and that wet nurse...

Zhu Hongyu spoke again.

"Whether it's for the reputation of Lao Taishan or the reputation of the son, it's best to suppress this matter and pretend it never happened."

Zhu Hongyu also had some guesses about the complicated relationship between Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing's father and son, and the wet nurse.

So, he said so.

The bigger the incident, the more people would speculate about the Zheng family's gossip.

The matter of the Zheng family's father and son's heart-to-heart connection may soon be known by more people.

Even if Zheng Chenggong is thinking about his own reputation, it is best to pretend that this has never happened.

Zhu Hongyu's words hit Zheng Chenggong's vitals immediately, and the expression on his face kept changing.

Finally nodded and said.

"What His Royal Highness Jian Guo said is justified!"

Today's Zheng Chenggong has long passed the stage of pursuing money, wealth, and power.

His father, Zheng Zhilong, is the richest man in the world, and he grew up in rich clothes and fine food since he was a child.

I enjoy more good things, and I don't care much about material enjoyment.

But as a Confucian scholar in the traditional sense, what Zheng Chenggong really cares about, and what he really can't give up, is his reputation, and only the four characters of "name left in history".

He will not allow the slightest stain on his reputation.

Zhu Hongyu clearly grasped Zheng Chenggong's psychology and knew what he wanted, so he was able to hit the point when he spoke.

Zhu Hongyu raised his glass again and invited Zheng Chenggong to have a drink together.

Then, Zhu Hongyu spoke again.

"Old Taishan is lonely, how about hunting in the south of the Yangtze River together?"

As the main force of the Qing army going south was getting closer and closer to the south of the Yangtze River, Daming also took corresponding actions.

Except for mobilizing troops from Luzon, Qiongzhou, Guangxi, Jiangxi and other places.

Almost all the mobile forces that can be mobilized by the Restoration Army and the Guiyi Army were transferred to Guangzhou outside the assembly.

It is to gather a large amount of military supplies, as well as food and supplies, to Guangzhou.

In fact, since the beginning of the year, Zhu Hongyu has been preparing for this decisive battle and has begun to mobilize food and supplies from various places.

All kinds of materials and weapons have already been prepared!
At this time, as long as he, Zhu Hongyu, gives an order, Daming can mobilize a large number of troops and supplies to the north at any time.

As for after the local garrison is transferred out, will there be problems in the local area?

Zhu Hongyu can't care about so much now!

As long as he can defeat the main force of the Qing army going south on the Jiangnan battlefield, he will win a complete victory.

No matter how chaotic the place is, it is only a small problem!

As long as he can pull out his hand, he can level the ground at any time.

It's as easy as finding something out of a bag!
But if he is defeated in Jiangnan, no matter how stable the place is, it will be just a cloud.

The war in the south of the Yangtze River is the first!

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong raised his head and asked.

"Your Highness, is there any news from Fuzhou?"

Zhu Hongyu shook his head and said.

"No, there is news from the north!"

"The main force of the Qing court's Southern Expedition has passed Linqing and is about to arrive in Huai'an."

"Da Ming's side, it's time to leave!"

"Wait until the army goes north, hehe, the matter in Fuzhou is just a trivial matter!"

"If the Jingnan Army surrenders, they will be reorganized into the Guiyi Army, which will serve as the vanguard of our army and fight fiercely against the Qing Army in the south of the Yangtze River."

"If they don't surrender, I don't mind eating an appetizer before the decisive battle with the main force of the Qing court going south!"

Zhu Hongyu's natural self-confidence is heartbreaking.

Geng Jingzhong's Jingnan Army, once one of the three feudal domains in the Qing Dynasty, supported tens of thousands of cavalry, but Zhu Hongyu only regarded it as an appetizer.

Not even qualified to be served as a dinner.

Even Zheng Chenggong was infected by Zhu Hongyu's self-confidence, and he had been suppressed in his heart, faintly afraid of the main force of the Qing court going south.

Also dissipated a little!

It seems that as long as there is the king in front of him, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, it will just be idle.

Zheng Chenggong cupped his hands and said.

"Veteran is willing to join the army and personally witness that my master of the Ming Dynasty conquered the Hulu in the north and regained the southern capital!"
