Qian Qianyi has been very depressed recently, he just wrote a congratulatory message when King Hui was in charge of Nanjing and was imprisoned, although there was no danger, he was still very depressed.

I think he has been in the Jinshi for more than ten years, and he has been a scholar and a cabinet member for more than 20 years.

coincided with the king of Anguo County coming to Nanjing and receiving favors from others, Qian Qianyi wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted and see if he could re-enter the court.

It's just that he is very entangled, after all, he has to bend down and beg a young man at such an age, and if he lets that group of proud and boundless colleagues know, he will be laughed at again, but no matter how entangled he still comes.

As soon as Liu Hong entered the door, he saw a spirited old man sitting at the wine table, Zheng Sen hurriedly introduced each other, and Qian Qianyi also bent down to salute.

The three of them were polite, Qian Qianyi expressed his intention very vaguely, and Liu Hongjian suddenly muttered in his heart.

The heart said that you are teasing Lao Tzu, it is easy to get the Donglin Party in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and you, the Donglin boss who has returned to his hometown for many years, still want to go back?

Is this king a fool?

Besides, isn't it good for you to teach in Nanjing? It's not enough to scourge those two fools, but you also want to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty? There are no doors!

But in front of Xiao Zheng, Liu Hongjian couldn't refuse directly, but verbally said that he would wait for the news, and by the way, he also fooled Lao Qian into a residence in Nanjing City-Red Bean Restaurant.

After all, he has been mixed in the imperial court for so long, Qian Qianyi's family background is not rich, and there are many literati in Jiangnan, and Lao Qian is known as the leader of the poetry circle, which is really not bad.

Although he is in his sixties, he also married Liu Ruyi, one of the eight Yans who can be his granddaughter, and played the trick of Jinwu Zangjiao.

There is a red bean restaurant in the east and a Qianyun building in the west, the old guy doesn't care about the yellow-faced woman at home, and he is happy to go in and out with Liu Ru.

When the old man Qian was sent away, it was already dark at night, and most of the guests in Xiaoxiang Pavilion had left, leaving only Zheng Sen and Liu Hongji, Zheng Sen's face was dark, and Liu Honggradually knew that this guy was still thinking about the future of the Zheng family, and he didn't say much.

Although the course of history was disrupted by him, the Zheng family is still the original Zheng family, still the overlord of the sea, but it has lost the object of allegiance.

"Brother Liu, please save my Zheng family!" Zheng Sen pondered for a long time, then suddenly bowed and saluted.

He really can't help it, his father Zheng Zhilong is stubborn and arrogant, and he has always been obstinate in doing things, as long as he thinks about it, don't say that he is a son, even his uncles Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao can't stop it.

After some familiarity, Zheng Sen also knew that the newly acquainted brother in front of him was a person who was a 'warm intestine of the ancient road', otherwise he would not have mentioned the matter of the Zheng family to him.

But Liu Hongjian just didn't say it, Zheng Sen could only be anxious.

"Da Mu and sit down, this matter can be discussed later, for my brother to talk to you about some foreign affairs, Da Mu thinks, what are the enemies of Da Ming?" Liu Hongjian did not answer Zheng Sen, but threw out a new question.

"The enemy of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it just those nobles who sit back and enjoy their success? Zheng Sen was puzzled, and he didn't know why Liu Hongjian said this to him.

"No, no, no, after the rebellion of King Hui, Xungui is no longer a climate, guess again!" Liu Hongjian was not satisfied, he just wanted to see if this Xiao Zheng's ability was as powerful as that boasted in later generations, and whether he could participate in great things together.

Seeing that his reply was rejected, Zheng Sen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has completely mastered the military power and financial power because of the toss between Chongzhen and Liu Hongji, the cabinet is even more like an arm, and the prince has no soldiers and no power, so there is really nothing to worry about.

Could it be ......

"Brother Liu is worried about overseas?" Zheng Sen didn't know sure, but just tried to ask.

"Brother Damu is very human, I want your Zheng family to rise in the ocean, I know a lot about overseas things, and tell my brother your opinion."

Liu Hong gradually felt that although Xiao Zheng at this time had not experienced the twists and turns of later generations, his knowledge had surpassed many so-called Confucians in the imperial court, but this was not enough!

"I once heard my father say that the Zheng family's biggest enemy overseas is the Netherlands, and my brother once heard my uncle say that the Dutch sailors are not only strong in equipment but also in soldiers.

Their warships are faster than my Zheng family's, they are equipped with more artillery than my Zheng family's Fu boats, and the range is also farther than my Zheng family's. ”

Zheng Sen frowned and said to Liu Hongji.

"And the big and small furlong machines." Zheng Sen continued when he saw Liu Hong gradually smiling and not speaking.

"I heard that after thirty years of fighting in Europa, the little Franc has been in decline, and the ships of the Big Franc have run all over the small West.

and the kingdoms of França, Switzerland, Britain, and Holy Rome......"

Zheng Sen is worthy of being the son of the Pirate King, and many foreign vassal states came to talk eloquently, and Liu Hong, who spoke bluntly, gradually nodded again and again.

"If there will be a war between the Ming Dynasty and the foreign countries, Da Mu thinks, where is this war born?" Liu Hongchuan was in a good mood, and he had already forgotten about the sour scholars before.

Since ancient times, the people who have often traveled to the sea have seen a lot, and after coming to Daming for more than a year, Liu Hong has gradually had few friends who can really talk to him, and Zheng Sen is the first.

His understanding of foreign countries is enough to make the so-called humerus of the people who only know in the DPRK and China also educate the people.

"Da Mu is not in a hurry, I also think about it for my brother, it is better for you and me to write what we think in our hearts." Seeing that Zheng Sen was deep in thought, Liu Hongjian proposed.

Zheng Sen didn't allow it, the two dipped the wine in the cup, each wrote and scratched on his hand, and then spread out his palm.

"Hahahaha-" Liu Hongjian and Zheng Sen laughed one after another.

It turned out that both of them had the word Taiwan wan written in their hands.

Taiwan and Wan, both now and in future generations, are involved in the heart of the Chinese nation, this strategic point in the South Seas, even in the late Ming Dynasty has experienced the baptism of blood and fire.

Although Zheng Zhilong's naval division defeated the Dutch navy in the South Seas, it was still entrenched in the southern part of Taiwan Island, and also established two strong military fortresses on the island, the Gelan Shaling Fort and the Pumin Shaling Fort.

After laughing, Zheng Sen's face immediately darkened again, for the Zheng family, what Holland, Taiwan, and Francha are all floating clouds, the future of the Zheng family is fundamental, if the imperial court really excludes his Zheng family, can the Zheng family afford it?

I'm afraid that in the end, the best ending is to flee in a hurry and flee to the depths of the ocean, but ...... Can you really escape?

Zheng Sen didn't want to do this, he had Han blood in his body, he loved this country, and he didn't want to wait for death in a place full of blacks and browns.

"Your Majesty will cede the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a few days." Liu Hong gradually knew the sorrow in Zheng Sen's heart, and said quietly.

"What? Your Majesty wants a Zen position? Zheng Sen was shocked when he heard this.

"Da Mu Mo is so flustered, this matter is true, Your Majesty has been working hard for half his life, and his health has not been very good, even if he retires, he can still enjoy happiness, isn't it?" Liu Hong gradually stared at Zheng Sen and said meaningfully.

Zheng Sen's face was cloudy, and he was still digesting Liu Hongji's words.

If His Majesty is really like this, it must be for the rapids to retreat, his father...... Now that he has long lost the courage of his youth, he is nested in the mansion in Quanzhou all day long, and those uncles and cousins have long been dissatisfied......

"Brother, Damu understands." Zheng Sen solemnly arched his hand.

He wants to be loyal to the country, wants the Zheng family to live forever, and wants to throw his blood on this land he loves, since his father is already a roadblock for the Ming and Zheng families, then he ......

What is the righteousness and what is the subsection, Zheng Sen has his own thoughts in his heart, and after thinking about this, the fighting spirit in Zheng Sen's chest seems to be burning with a raging fire.

The two talked happily in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion until they got drunk, and finally they were carried back to the mansion by their respective families.

On the second day, Liu Hong gradually woke up and felt a splitting headache, Shi Kefa stood outside Liu Hong's yard, swaying from side to side like an ant on a hot pot.

After the defeat of Zhu Changrun, the king of Hui, and a group of nobles, the nobles around Nanjing who watched the development of the situation could no longer sit still, and actually dragged their families to Nanjing City to surrender to Cheng.

It had only been half a day, and the six yamen had already gathered the families of those nobles, their slaves, and the carriages that did not know what to load.

Although Shi Kefa knew the situation of this group of people, the imperial court did not issue an order, and these nobles were much more numerous than his idle soldiers (poles) and still (divisions) in terms of titles.

Shi Kefa knew that he couldn't deal with this group of people, so he came to the Dingguo Mansion that was gradually occupied by Liu Hong as soon as possible, but the gate went in, but when he arrived in the inner courtyard, he was almost angry to death.

No matter how he said good things, the two brothers Liu Hu and Liu Bao would not give way, because they didn't understand at all, and they only knew that no one was allowed to enter the hospital without the order of the head of the family or the boss of the cow.

"Lord, Lord, are you up? The lower officials have something important to tell you! The prince - the prince - the official Shi Kefa has something important to tell you! Lord Wang—"

Shi Kefa shouted inside with his throat, that is, he, if he was replaced by those colleagues of the Sixth Department in the past, there would be a few people who could come out with such an undignified shouting.

"What did Lord Shi come to find this king early in the morning?" Liu Hong gradually yawned, he had slept late yesterday and drank so much wine.

"Hey, Lord Wang, something big has happened, hurry up and follow the officials to the yamen to have a look!" Shi Kefa's face is black, the sun is about to pass noon, and it is still early in the morning?

Shi Kefa said, Liu Hong gradually realized, thinking that he hadn't tossed in vain this trip, but the bones of these tarsal maggots were too soft.

The two of them walked to the yamen of the military department, but saw that the yamen was crowded with people, and in a short time, several more generals, lieutenants, earls, and marquis of Zhenguo came......

"The prince is here, let it go, everyone let it go, and let the prince in." Shi Kefa's words are not high, but his voice is quite bright.

When I arrived at the main hall of the Yamen, there were already a few nobles with white beards and half of them dressed in brocade robes.

"Zhu, the king of Duyang County, has seen the king of Anguo in the saw!"

"Zhu Suhao, the king of Zhecheng County, has seen the king of Anguo County!"

"Marquis of Ningyang, Marquis of Ningyang has seen the King of Anguojun!"

"General Zhenguo ......"

……

"What are you waiting for?" Liu Hongjian asked knowingly, and sat directly in the main hall without politeness, and a young man with the earl personally brought tea to Liu Hongji.

What happened? What else could be on? King Hui collapsed at the touch of a button and directly cut off all the extravagant hopes of the nobles, are you really waiting for Jinyiwei and Dongchang to come to the door?

It is better to go to Beijing in person to ask for guilt, hoping that Chongzhen Nian can forgive him for his ancestral merits.

But the future of going to the capital is uncertain, but the king of Anguo County is close at hand, the position of this prince in His Majesty's heart, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, if they get Liu Hong's nod, maybe......

The once high-ranking Ming nobles were all respectful at this time, for fear of provoking the displeasure of this evil god, and after a few flatteries, Liu Hong gradually put the tea bowl on the small table and was filled with silver tickets after a while.

Liu Hong's gradual willingness to accept it, the origin of these silver is dirty, and I don't know how much blood and tears the people have been touched.

Since the nobles are all from the net, Liu Hong, who has fallen into the province, has gradually troubled, and he has the treatment of surrendering, and all the nobles have been arranged on several big ships, and as for the prisoners of the rebel army, they are all tied up and stuffed into the warehouse.

Because of the crusade against King Hui, the people in the court were panicked, and Liu Hong gradually knew that Chongzhen was worried, and agreed with Shi Kefa to draw 20,000 troops from the four towns of Jiangbei and station them in Nanjing City, with Shi Kefa temporarily under the command of Anjiangnan.

He also sent a letter to Qin Liangyu, the governor of the southwest, asking him to speed up the liquidation of Zhang Paopai, who had been in Sichuan and Shu, and to return to Beijing by water on the third day of November two days later.

On the occasion of parting, Shi Kefa and Zheng Sen came to see them off.

"I almost forgot, this king still has a small matter that needs to be helped by Master Shi." Liu Hongjian got on the boat but got off again.

That day, Xiaoxiang Pavilion met Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan of the Teaching Workshop Division, which made Liu Hong gradually feel a lot, and Liu Hong gradually knew a little about the filthy Liu Hong in the Teaching Workshop Division, although there were regulations in the imperial court, the geisha of the Teaching Workshop Division were not allowed to provide *** and in principle, only reception officials were allowed.

Principle? Hehe.

Most of the women who go to the teaching department can only force their faces to laugh and be sad all their lives, even if they give birth to children, they are lowly for generations, men are slaves, and women are prostitutes.

Dong and Li are both people with great hearts, and he Liu Hong is gradually unable to shake the outdated feudal concept by himself, but since he has encountered it, he will definitely not stand idly by.

As for ordinary people who can't get rid of the untouchables? What doesn't exist is just Liu Hongji's words, unless this person doesn't want to die.

Liu Hong gradually ordered Shi Kefa to temporarily place the second daughter in the Red Bean Pavilion from the Teaching Workshop Division, and took out a silver ticket of 2,000 taels and handed it to Shi Kefa, and asked him to take care of it on his behalf.

There was only so much he could do, to set them free, and it was their own business what to do from here.

Liu Hong gradually sighed and waved goodbye to Shi Kefa, Zheng Sen and others, Jiang Nan and his party glanced at it in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to savor it.

However, he knew in his heart that he would come back in the near future, and by that time, Da Ming would have a different appearance.
