The military meeting was over, and it was almost dusk.
There was almost no noise in Lushun, a port that was mostly filled with Ming soldiers.
It could even be said to be quieter than usual.
All the soldiers are taking the time to rest.
Starting tomorrow, they will start a new journey.
In a big house in Lushun City, the three brothers of the Zheng family gathered around the fire pit and did not go to rest.
"This winter in the north is really freezing to death," Zheng Zhihu complained.
"Fifty or sixty of my brothers are suffering from frostbite."
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong glanced at him and said, "It won't be long before I can go back to the south.
Why are you complaining?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Zheng Zhiwan who was sitting on the edge and looking at the fire pit silently, then turned back to Zheng Zhihu and said: "This trip to the north can be regarded as broadening my horizons.
Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty is really Yes, our previous understanding of the imperial court was really one-sided."
Hearing him talk about this, Zheng Zhihu fell silent.
Indeed, in the past, I always felt that the imperial officers and soldiers were a bunch of trash, and I didn't take them seriously at all.
But this time, not to mention the new army formed by the emperor himself, the military discipline is really unmatched, and this can't be compared.
Even the Dongjiang Army, who were all wearing patched military uniforms, were very fierce when they fought hard.
For the cavalry on land, especially Lu Zhongcheng's hussar battalion, Zheng Zhihu felt that if he were on land, even if he drew out all his elite men to fight, he would definitely not be their opponent.
While he was thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong spoke again: "Have you noticed that the emperor has mastered the ability of clairvoyance and ears like the wind?
This is the most critical point.
Anywhere, as long as there is a slight disturbance, he can immediately reach heaven to hear, and then the emperor quickly react to this.
Such things have never happened before in all dynasties.
Jianlu is indeed powerful, but he is far inferior in this aspect, and because of this, he will suffer a big loss due to the war in Gaizhou.
Brother, I will definitely suffer another big loss.
I dare to say that within five years, Liao affairs can be decided, do you believe it?"
"Hey, brother, your words sound familiar."
Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and said, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.
At this time, Zheng Zhiyuan raised his head, glanced at him and reminded: "The Dongjiang Army laughed at their enemies for saying this."
"Oh, I remembered, that Yuan Chonghuan said it," Zheng Zhihu suddenly realized, patted his knee and said loudly, "If this is true, wouldn't he have died unjustly?"
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he glanced at him and said with a bit of hatred: "Can you think more about what Yuan Chonghuan said about Pingliao in five years and now?
What was the situation in Liaodong when he was here?
The Jianlu were all captured as far as the capital city, and the Liao Dynasty was pacified in five years."
Having said this, he paused and then said: "I said that the credit for the five years of Ping Liao must go to the Emperor.
Do you understand that when the Jianlu were besieging the capital, the Emperor turned the tide?
Count them, from the end of last year to now, How many things have been done in total to lead to the current situation?"
"I know this," Zheng Zhiwan said after hearing this, "When I was in the capital, and when I was here, I probably knew it from what they said."
When Zheng Zhihu heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said to Zheng Zhiwan: "Then tell me, and I will see if you have leaked anything."
In fact, with his carefree temperament, he is usually not interested in things other than the Navy.
When I heard what Zheng Zhilong said, I wanted to know, but I was too embarrassed to ask directly, so I played a little clever.
After hearing this, Zheng Zhiyuan glanced at him playfully, without revealing anything, and looked at Zheng Zhilong and said: "As far as Liao affairs are concerned, I think the emperor has done a few major things.
First, he replaced Yuan Chonghuan with Mr.
Sun Ge, and with his Before the prestige was stabilized, it was a little chaotic.
Guan Ning's army, then quietly and suddenly, cut off the Jianlu's eyes and ears with the white-pole army thousands of miles away, ransacked many Shanxi merchants' homes, and at the same time reorganized the court, and also made money It fills the treasury and makes the court have money to do things."
"Then, Lu Zhongcheng was promoted to be the governor of Denglai.
Needless to say, Lu Zhongcheng's large and small wars are enough to show how correct the emperor's appointment was."
Zheng Zhilong nodded and said: "These are actually just intuitive and superficial.

Secretly, the military information provided by the emperor is like a fairy."
After sighing with emotion, he did not explain too much, his face returned to seriousness, and he said to his two younger brothers very seriously: "I was inspired to talk so much today, and I have only one purpose.
The imperial court will issue a sea ban, etc.
There must be no complaints after we return.
Our Zheng family’s strength means that we have no bargaining power in front of the emperor.
Only by working wholeheartedly for the court and the emperor can we guarantee our future glory and wealth, you know?”
There were many more that he couldn't tell his brothers.
Thinking back to what happened in the north, including Zheng Zhibao, when he encountered something dissatisfying, he would clamor to rebel and not take the court seriously.
When he thought of this , he was very worried, so he had to emphasize this matter very solemnly.
The two Zheng Zhiyuan brothers looked at each other and replied: "Brother, don't worry, we know."
For the two of them, they have personally experienced the power of the imperial court and broadened their horizons.
Naturally, they know that obstructing the imperial court from imposing a sea ban and monopolizing maritime interests is basically wishful thinking.
The final result can be imagined.
Therefore, it is easier for them to accept it.
Even after Zheng Zhiwan finished speaking, he specifically reminded: "Li Zhiqi has Liu Jinsheng here, so we have to be even more careful."
Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong nodded and said with a bit of hatred: "How come he is the only one who has this kind of ability?
It would be great if even one of our brothers, even the confidants under him, has it."
Zheng Zhiyuan heard this and was about to nod when suddenly, his whole body froze there.
After a while, Zheng Zhilong felt that it was almost done, so he ordered them: "Forget it, go to bed early, we can't delay the action tomorrow morning."
When Zheng Zhihu heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted: "In this damn weather, it would be nice if there was a girl to warm the bed."
At this point, he suddenly noticed that Zheng Zhiwan was still sitting there, and said to him: "Why are you still sitting there?
Get under the quilt as soon as possible.
Do you really want someone else to warm the quilt for you first?"
Hearing what he said, Zheng Zhilong, who had already stood up, felt something was wrong.
He lowered his head and asked, "What are you doing?
Do you have something on your mind?"
Unexpectedly, after asking this question, Zheng Zhiyuan raised his head with surprise on his face
