Zheng Zhilong was engaged in maritime trade, and every year he collected tolls, he had tens of millions of taels of silver, not only his income exceeded the income of the Ming Dynasty, but even the income of the Dutch East India Company, which was in full swing, was less than that of the Zheng family for a year.After the "Battle of Liaoluo Bay", the Zheng family became the maritime hegemon in East Asia, and even Dutch ships coming to China and Japan had to pay Zheng Zhilong "protection fees" or "tolls".According to preliminary estimates, the Zheng family's annual financial income is as high as 20 million taels of silver, and it is this income that maintains the Zheng family's rule in Fujian, allowing Zheng Zhilong to have more than 100,000 troops and 1,000 warships, becoming a well-deserved maritime overlord and the master of Fujian.In Fujian, Zheng Zhilong's rule can be said to be impregnable, and no one can touch the Zheng family, but today Zheng Zhilong's mansion has been ordered.The people in Fujing City were shocked when they found that Zheng Zhilong's mansion was in flames, and when Zheng Jun stationed in the city saw this, they took action one after another and began to arrest the so-called assassins.In the palace, after Zhu Yujian talked with Zhao Ming, he was excited, when he suddenly heard movement outside the palace, walked out of the study and looked at it, and immediately exclaimed: "What's the matter?"
”A hundred households of the Imperial Forest Army hurriedly reported: "Back to Your Majesty, it is Taishi Zheng's mansion that is on fire!"
”Zhu Yujian thought it was a water, but the movement in the city made him suspicious, "What is the noise in the city?"
”"It was the soldiers and horses in the city who were arresting the assassins, saying that someone had assassinated the Taishi and deliberately set fire to the Taishi's mansion."
Hyaknohe hug fist do."
There is such a thing!"
Zhu Yujian's heart was beating wildly, and the whole person became excited, and blurted out with a red face, "Is the Taishi dead?"
”"The Taishi is safe and sound, but the fifth master was killed by the assassin!"
Baihu said with grief and indignation.Zhu Yujian's face sank, and he was a little disappointed, so he immediately asked, "Do you know who the assassin is?"
”"It seems to be an assassin sent by King Lu!"
Baihu said angrily.The Imperial Forest Army in the palace is also mostly arranged by Zheng Zhilong, and their hearts are all towards Zheng Zhilong.Zhu Yujian's heart sank, realizing that things were not simple, and suddenly became angry, "Taishi is a stone pillar of the national dynasty, and someone dares to assassinate Taishi, spread my will, search and arrest the whole city, and order Jinyiwei to go out to arrest the assassin!"
”The army in the city is all the soldiers of the Zheng family, and the only thing that Emperor Longwu can mobilize is the Jinyi Guard that he reorganized.The assassin sent by King Lu, isn't that Zhao Ming?
Zhao Ming had no reason to assassinate Zheng Zhilong suddenly, and Emperor Longwu asked Jinyiwei to take the opportunity to find out the news, and he had to figure out what was going on immediately.Without Zhu Yujian's order, the entire army in Fujing City was mobilized, and more than 100,000 troops in Fujian relied on Zheng Zhilong for food, Zheng Taishi was assassinated, and the soldiers of the Zheng army were angry.The city of Fujing is not large, and there are 40,000 or 50,000 troops stationed inside and outside the city, soldiers and horses pour into the city, and the streets are full of patrolling soldiers.This made Zhao Ming have nowhere to hide, he hid in a small alley, and suddenly a sharp pain in his chest came, Zhao Ming reached out and touched it, his hands were full of blood, "Damn, I'm injured again!"
”Times are different, if you rely too much on brute force, Lao Tzu will be shot to death sooner or later.Zhao Ming scolded while checking his body, and there were many wounds on his body, but fortunately, except for gunshot wounds, they were not fatal.Fang Cai's room was small, and the Zheng family's armor soldiers were all good hands, and they still caused harm to Zhao Ming.This made Zhao Ming annoyed for a while, and he couldn't wait to do it endlessly, kill back, and kill Zheng Zhilong.However, Zheng Zhilong, as a pirate leader, has a lot of enemies, is heavily guarded, and it is said that there is also a team of black domain soldiers, with Zhao Ming's current state, it is estimated that it will not work.In fact, Zheng Zhilong is powerful, if he resists the Qing Dynasty, the situation in Nanming will not be so bad.After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong only inherited a small part of Zheng Zhilong's power, and tossed the Manchu Qing Dynasty for decades.Zheng Zhilong relied on China, stole the interests of the imperial court, earned 20 million taels of silver every year, and enjoyed the glory and wealth that China brought him, but he was unwilling to take responsibility.This kind of person is like a moth, sucking the blood of the country, ruining the country, enjoying privileges, and when the country is in danger, he spreads his hands and either runs away and emigrates, or defects to the enemy and betrays the country, which is the most hateful.Such a person should really be killed, when Zhao Ming was angry, the fire outside the alley flashed, and a team of Zheng soldiers searched for it with torches.The muscles on Zhao Ming's face twitched, and he lifted the knife, but he found that his steps were a little weak, and he knew that he couldn't be brave.If he died, King Lu would definitely misunderstand, and the matter of Tang and Lu's union would be yellow.Zhao Ming gritted his teeth, jumped deep, and turned into the courtyard of a family.There was an uproar in the city, and every household was also alarmed, the courtyard was brightly lit, and the figures were moving, and Zhao Ming had nothing to hide.Zhao Ming's heart sank, seeing that he was about to be discovered, and when he was panicking, a voice called: "Xi'er?
”Zhao Ming was taken aback, looked back, only felt very familiar, and was stunned for a while, before remembering that the middle-aged man in front of him was his uncle-in-law Yang Wencong, "Uncle!"
”Yang Wencong stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ming, and hurriedly walked to the back house, "You are the assassin they captured?"
”After Zhao Ming and Ma Shiying met, Ma Shiying sent a letter to Yang Wencong, and Yang Wencong only saw Zhao Ming and called him by his name.Zhao Ming didn't expect to meet Yang Wencong, and his heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Zheng Zhilong wants to get rid of me and destroy the Tanglu Union." ”Yang Wencong pulled Zhao Ming into a room, and at this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Zheng Bing was about to enter the mansion to search, Yang Wencong hurriedly instructed: "Xi'er, you hide here, don't come out, I'll deal with it outside." ”After speaking, Yang Wencong turned around and closed the door, and the footsteps gradually faded away.In Fujing City, the noise lasted until midnight, and when it was almost three watches, Yang Wencong brought some ointment and came to Zhao Ming's room, and the two immediately recognized each other, first said some things at the moment, and then talked about Ma Shiying being killed by the Qing army, and couldn't help but cry.The two talked until the fifth watch, and Yang Wencong needed to go to the court before leaving the room again.Near noon, Yang Wencong came back from the court, pushed open the door and came in, Zhao Ming immediately got up and asked, "Uncle, how is the situation?"
”Yang Wencong's face was gloomy, he sat down and poured himself a glass of water to drink, before he said in a deep voice: "As you expected, Zheng Zhilong's wicked person sued first, saying that King Lu sent you to assassinate him in order to compete for the throne, and forced His Majesty to crusade against King Lu in the court!"
”Zhao Ming asked, "What is Your Majesty's attitude?"
”Yang Wencong said angrily: "Your Majesty naturally doesn't allow it, and wants to send someone to investigate clearly, but you also know that the court is full of Zheng Zhilong's people, and Your Majesty is under a lot of pressure."
Moreover, Zheng Zhilong is in control of the army, and I am worried that he will directly mobilize his troops and cause misunderstanding by King Lu. ”Zhao Ming frowned and took a few steps back and forth, "Fujing is Zheng Zhilong's territory, I can't stay anymore, I must return to eastern Zhejiang as soon as possible." ”Yang Wencong said: "Now the city gate is heavily guarded, there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, and the walls are also covered with notices to arrest you, even Your Majesty can't send you out, it's too difficult for you to leave." ”Fujian is Zheng Zhilong's territory, and no one in Fujian can fight against Zheng Zhilong.Zhao Ming had a calm face, thinking about how to escape, he thought about it, only one person could help him.Zhao Ming immediately said: "I thought that someone could help me leave, but I can't leave empty-handed, I must get His Majesty's edict to make King Lu believe that it was Zheng Zhilong who wantonly sabotage." ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe, ask for a booklist) ()
