The words are divided into two ends, when Liu Hong gradually dispatched troops to conquer the Zheng family army by force, the Zheng family's nest in Quanzhou Mansion, Fujian Province, was already like a great enemy.

On the second day after Zheng Zhilong returned to Quanzhou from Nanjing, he reconvened the backbone of the Zheng family, in addition to Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Cai, there were also Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, Chen Hui, Yang Geng, etc., who were still alive in the early years.

This is a major event related to the life and death of the Zheng family, and the backbones of the Zheng family who have to be summoned from all over Nanyang are solemn.

"You all know the conditions offered by the king of Anguo, think that I, Zheng Zhilong, have been crisscrossing the world for more than 20 years, and I have been working hard for half my life to earn the Zheng family's family business, how can I give it to the court like this?

In addition, His Majesty Daming is suspicious by nature, and the king of Anguo has a reputation for murder, so I am afraid that we will not be able to wait. Zheng Zhilong stroked his beard and said.

Even if most of you are not very literate, you still understand the truth that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat.

Now that they have soldiers in their hands, they can naturally protect the safety of their respective property, and if these soldiers are handed over, they may have to be people with their tails between their legs in the future.

And who knows if the superior will find a reason to kill them all, you must know that when the time comes, there will be no soldiers in hand, and if the court wants to take them, it is no different from pinching them to death.

Zheng Zhilong's words made most of everyone think so, only Zheng Zhifeng, the fourth elder of the Zheng family, frowned.

"Moreover, most of my Zheng family's sailors are all from Haikou, who like freedom and are unruly, and if they are handed over to the imperial court, they will inevitably send some pedantic ministers to point fingers.

These soldiers are all rough and fierce, and they are not afraid of death, how can they understand that there are so many people in the court, once they surrender to Chengcheng, they will inevitably end miserably like the heroes of Liangshan in the Water Margin commentary.

The Zheng family's sailors can have today, it is indispensable to your hard work, how many brothers are buried in different places, and how many brothers have fought bloody battles with foreign vassals, so that the Zheng family's sailors are now famous.

Yes, I, Zheng Zhilong, categorically did not allow the Zheng family to be touched by the imperial court, even if I fought to the last person, I would die happily.

What do you think, brothers? Zheng Zhilong said, as if he remembered the past.

"I listen to the head of the family, if the head of the family does not surrender, then I will lead my brothers to fight the court to the end." Seeing that Zheng Zhifeng didn't speak, Zheng Cai couldn't help but say.

"I also listen to the head of the house." Zheng Xing immediately chimed in.

After a while, except for Zheng Zhifeng and a few of his cronies, the rest of them all spoke and refused to surrender.

"Fourth, why don't you speak? Are you still thinking about becoming an official? Seeing that Zheng Zhifeng was silent, Zheng Zhilong said.

Zheng Zhifeng was admitted to the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty in his early years, and then the martial arts failed repeatedly, and it happened that the boss Zheng Zhilong made a career, so he decided to put down his fame and fight with Zheng Zhilong.

And entering the court as an official has always been a knot in his heart, Zheng Zhilong is still the fourth child, still thinking about the old things, and is slightly dissatisfied.

Although there are not many soldiers under the fourth child, and he is not self-taught in military affairs like himself, after all, he has systematically studied the military affairs and military books of the imperial court, plus he is illiterate, and in some respects he still counts on the fourth child.

"Big brother, why don't you choose the second one?" Zheng Zhifeng didn't answer his question, but stared at Zheng Zhilongdao.

"Fourth uncle, Fu Song has just passed the age of a weak crown, and he has no experience in commanding troops, how can he be up to the task!

This is the trick of the king of Anguo, and the fourth uncle can't believe the court! Zheng Cai hurriedly said.

As soon as they heard Zheng Cai say this, several other people would also look at Zheng Zhifeng with a pair of eyes.

Liu Honggradually gave the Zheng family a second choice, and the Zheng family's army was put under the control of Zheng Sen, the son of the head of the family, and handed over the ill-gotten gains obtained over the years.

There is nothing wrong with the first half of the sentence, after all, the water master belongs to the Zheng family, and Zheng Sen is Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, so it is not wrong to get the position, even if you are younger, it doesn't matter, isn't there still them?

The problem lies in the second half of the sentence, hand over the family wealth!

Why were they born and died for so many years? Do you want to fulfill your ambitions in life? Is it for brotherhood?

Fart! If it weren't for the lack of food, how many people would be willing to pin their heads to their trouser belts!

Finally, when you have the money, you have come to the bitter end, but you want them to hand it all over, what do you think? There are no doors!

But Zheng Cai refused to admit that he objected because he was reluctant to have family wealth, so he had to aggrieve his cousin Zheng Sen and Zheng Fusong, who were not present, to take the blame.

Zheng Zhilong glanced at his eldest nephew approvingly, and said in his heart that he was still sensible in the second family, but unfortunately the second Zheng Zhihu died early, if the second child was still there, how could Taiwan fall into the hands of the Dutch?

"Alas, big brother, Da Ming is no longer the Da Ming of two years ago, and we have no chance of winning against the imperial court!" Zheng Zhifeng sighed and said.

The imperial court has nearly a million troops and is still expanding, even if 10,000 or even 100,000 are killed in battle, they can still fill the vacancy within a year or two.

I heard that the Beiyang Naval Division of the Imperial Court has now anchored in Taizhou, a year ago, where was the Beiyang Naval Division in the Imperial Court?

In the final analysis, the imperial court has tens of millions of people and a large territory, and the imperial court can experience defeat and can afford defeat.

But what about his Zheng family? The Zheng family's land and water soldiers were scattered in Fujian and the Nanyang Islands, and it was difficult to assemble for a while.

Moreover, half of the Zheng family's army was Japanese, Koreans, Luzon, Siamese and even blacks, and many of the original territories had been taken away by the big and small Francos and the Dutch, making it difficult to quickly recruit manpower.

As for the Han people, not to mention, now the imperial court has a bumper harvest in the north and south, plus the imperial court has exempted most of the peasants from the field tax, unless they commit a major crime, the ghost is willing to follow them out to the sea to drift!

The elite of the Zheng family is only 1120,000 children of the Han family, and it is difficult to replenish a large number of new soldiers, and there are many strong enemies in the South Seas, which need the support of a large number of warships and soldiers.

He Zheng family, he can't afford to lose!

"Fourth brother, eldest brother knows what you are worried about, but eldest brother still can't hand over the Zheng family's family business to the imperial court, even if I agree, everyone here doesn't want to see my Zheng family soldiers being ridiculed by the imperial court.

Big brother, even if I try my best to fight to the death, I will not bend my waist for power, and now all brothers mean this, just wait for you to make the final choice.

You don't need to have any psychological burden, just say that big brother doesn't embarrass you. Zheng Zhilong stared at the fourth Zheng Zhifeng and said.

Although he kills people like hemp, even the previous brothers dare to stab him for the sake of profit, but he has never killed his brother, even in the current situation, Zheng Zhilong is still like this.

The atmosphere was slightly solemn, Zheng Zhifeng knew that the eldest brother did not lie to him, and he knew that the responsibility on the eldest brother's shoulders was actually heavier than him.

Even if the eldest brother is illiterate, even if outsiders seem to him to be a pirate leader with a fiery personality and murder without blinking, Zheng Zhifeng has never doubted the eldest brother's friendship with him and his family.

"Big brother, I am also willing to shed the last drop of blood for the Zheng family, and I will never give up." Zheng Zhifeng and the eldest brother glanced at each other, and said categorically.

Zheng Zhilong's face was happy and before he could speak, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, but the voice arrived first.

"Father, my son is back from Luzon!"
