Chapter 799: Zheng Zhilong's Promise
(Thanks to the Imperial Sunset for voting for the precious monthly ticket, and thanks to the Su people for the reward of reading, Xie Lu is grateful.) )
When Tian Chuansong came to the capital, Zheng Zhilong was very excited, the emperor decreed, Tian Chuansong was named Mrs. Decree, this is a great honor, although Zheng Zhilong returned to the Ming Dynasty, was named the governor of Tongzhi, the rank is not high, but in the eyes of civil officials, he is a former pirate who returned to obedience, or can not ascend to the hall of elegance, especially after being defeated by Su Tiancheng, for a time, Zheng Zhilong's heart was like ashes, thinking that everything he relied on was going to be lost. Although Su Tiancheng gave him great comfort and enough trust, the fear in his heart was still difficult to eliminate.
When he came to the capital, Zheng Zhilong was even prepared, maybe he would be impeached by the adults in the court, and he would not be able to return to the Southern Dynasty, as long as he could keep his family and Zheng Chenggong, he was willing to bear all the responsibility.
Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng did what he said, Zheng Zhilong was not only not punished by the emperor and the court, but also was appointed as the imperial envoy of Zuo Yudu and became a civil official of the imperial court, which is a very remarkable thing, a pirate, who is obedient to the imperial court, can be named a civil official, which shows that he has entered the imperial court and become a member of the scholars, although the identity is still a little embarrassing.
Tian Chuansong was enshrined as Mrs. Destiny, this is a fundamental change, there are two difficulties in this, one is that Tagawa Matsu is Japanese, not a person from the Ming Dynasty, this is also a woman, the status is unstable, but also by others look at it differently, so many years, although Zheng Zhilong is calling for wind and rain in Quanzhou, but Tian Chuansong, as the hostess of the Zheng family, has no status outside, although Zheng Zhilong is rich. can't change this, Zheng Zhilong was able to make a fortune, mainly relying on Tian Chuansong.
The second is his identity, which still brings a lot of stains to the family, and he didn't think that he could get ahead in the imperial court, and asked Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong to participate in the imperial examination. is thinking that in the family, there can be scholars, real scholars can appear, and the impression of the family can be truly changed, from this aspect, Zheng Zhilong never dreamed that his wife could be named Mrs. Decree.
What does Mrs. Decree mean, from now on, after Tian Chuanmatsu met the court officials. No need to kneel down and enjoy the court's fortune, the Zheng family began to really enter the ranks of the scholar family, and from then on, no one dared to question Zheng Zhilong's origin, let alone Tian Chuansong's Japanese.
The complete change in the identity of the Zheng family made Zheng Zhilong raise his eyebrows.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong thanked the two people from the bottom of his heart. One is the emperor and the other is Su Tiancheng. He even felt that being defeated by Su Tiancheng this time was a generous gift from God to the Zheng family, if he hadn't been defeated by Su Tiancheng, how could he have such a good chance.
In the days of waiting at the official post, Zheng Zhilong was immersed in great joy. Every day, I count the time to see when Tagawa Matsu will be able to come to the capital.
At the end of the first month, Tian Chuansong finally came to the capital, and the people who escorted Tian Chuansong to the capital were naturally the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.
I learned that Tagawa Matsu had come to the capital. Su Tiancheng also rushed to the official post.
After entering the room, Su Tiancheng found that Tian Chuansong's face was stained with tears.
After seeing Su Tiancheng come in, Tian Chuansong pulled Zheng Zhilong, and the two knelt down in front of Su Tiancheng.
Su Tiancheng was taken aback, Zheng Zhilong was the imperial history of the Zuo Du of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Tian Chuansong was the emperor's edict lady, kneeling down in front of him, wouldn't this be a mess of the rules.
He hurriedly went to help Zheng Zhilong, Tian Chuansong is a woman, and Su Tiancheng is not easy to do.
At this time, Tagawa Matsu spoke.
"Lord Su, the concubine is a woman, I don't know how to thank the lord for his great kindness, Lord Su is the benefactor of the Zheng family, the benefactor of the husband and the concubine, the concubine and the husband said, do cattle and horses to repay Lord Su."
"Mrs. Zheng, don't say that, this is all the emperor's grace."
Zheng Zhilong also spoke.
"My lord, Xiaguan understands everything, the Zheng family can have today, it is the kindness of adults, Xiaguan swears here, if the Zheng family does something against the will of adults, the sky will thunder five thunders, and future generations will always be subordinates."
"Lord Zheng, don't say that, you get up quickly, I don't dare to take such a big gift, if you don't get up, I will kneel down with you."
Su Tiancheng said this, and Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong got up.
The eunuch soon came to the official post.
Su Tiancheng, Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong entered the Forbidden City, the ceremony of receiving the decree, someone had already taught Tian Chuansong and Zheng Zhilong, Su Tiancheng was familiar with all this, the reason why he came to the Forbidden City was to resign to the emperor, the emperor changed his attention, Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong need to stay in the capital, Su Tiancheng knows very well, what does this mean, the sailors controlled by the Zheng family still belong to the imperial court, of course, there is such a change, and it is also in the imperial court, someone has put forward suggestions.
Leaving the Forbidden City and returning to the official post, Zheng Zhilong took out a wooden box from the room.
Su Tiancheng was a little strange, where did Zheng Zhilong get so many wooden boxes.
"My lord, Xiaguan came to the capital this time, and brought a total of three wooden boxes, which are all some strange jewelry, Xiaguan left a wooden box, enough to live in the capital, this box of jewelry, I implore the adults to laugh, Xiaguan has entrusted someone to write a letter to Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong, they absolutely have to act according to the orders of the adults, Xiaguan did not expect that he stayed in the capital, and he wanted to follow the adults, but unfortunately there was no chance."
"Lord Zheng is polite, it's better to be respectful than to obey fate, I just laughed, the capital is very complicated, I suggest that Lord Zheng make more relationships, when the Zheng family was in Quanzhou, they also had some relationships in the capital, and consolidating these relationships will definitely be beneficial to the Zheng family, as for Fujian's affairs, Lord Zheng doesn't need to worry about it more, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong will definitely be able to do a good job."
"Xiaguan still said that, the kindness of the adults to the Zheng family, the descendants of the Zheng family will not forget, the lower officials and their wives discussed, and asked Zheng Chenggong to treat the adults with the courtesy of his fathers, Zheng Chenggong has anything bad to do, and the adults will be punished."
Su Tiancheng is about to leave the capital and return to Dengzhou.
Zhu Xianxin and Chen Yuanyuan are naturally reluctant, Chen Yuanyuan, who was born in a Qinglou, has a somewhat tranquil personality, does not like to be in the limelight, and does not like to show his head, after a few days, Zhu Xianxin felt that this Chen Yuanyuan really does not do, he is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he knows the rules of the Tao when he speaks and does things, but the time is too tight and he has not been able to contact Chen Yuanyuan's family, so the wedding has not been carried out for the time being, but Chen Yuanyuan has already enjoyed the treatment of a concubine, there is a special suite, and there are maids around to serve him, There are silver expenses every month, plus the dowry silver specially sent by Tian Hongyu, which was also handed over to Chen Yuanyuan.
Su Tiancheng didn't have any parting injuries, he even expected that after a short time, he was afraid that he would return to the capital, during this time in the capital, he and Lu Shanji, Xu Eryi and others discussed the affairs of Liaodong many times, Lu Shanji and Xu Eryi's views were somewhat consistent with his, and they all thought that Liaodong was still stable, and should not attack for the time being, but the news from Liaodong seemed that the time for the attack was imminent.
When he was in the capital, Su Tiancheng also did one thing, that is, he wrote a secret letter to Hong Chengchou, and Su Tiancheng made a clear request, no matter how the situation in Liaodong changes, the Jiangning battalion must stick to the city, especially the three cities of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City, no matter what happens, the three cities must not be missed, unless all the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are killed, and the people must be in the position. Su Tiancheng's meaning was actually to ask that the Jiangning battalion could not participate in the attack of the Golden Tartars behind the team, and I believe that Chen Xinjia would not dare to mobilize all the sergeants stationed in the Guanningjin defense line, if this was done and the attack failed, then the capital would be in danger.
Su Tiancheng is no longer able to decide the affairs of Liaodong, judging from the signs of all aspects, the emperor is thinking of launching an attack, Houjin has always been the biggest disaster in the emperor's mind, far more than the Liukou, the situation in Liaodong has changed, the emperor does not want to always hold the Guanningjin defense line, Chen Xinjia is just in accordance with the emperor's requirements, actively organize the preparation of the attack, which is in line with Chen Xinjia's mind, hoping to establish immortal merits.
Based on this basis, Su Tiancheng must return to Dengzhou as soon as possible, the Jiangning battalion must make all preparations, once the Fujian naval division is stabilized, he will begin to recruit sergeants, Zheng Zhilong wrote out the letter, there is a very secret thing, that is no one knows the way, that is, the 100,000 sergeants, including 15,000 elite sergeants, are all following Zheng Zhilong to fight in the south and the north, these people can directly enter the Jiangning battalion, Zheng Zhilong also directly requested, handed over the token to Su Tiancheng, In this way, there are more than 80,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, and if there is a problem in Liaodong, Su Tiancheng will lead 50,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to Liaodong, which can be completely rescued, and Dengzhou and other places, leaving 30,000 soldiers, is enough to maintain stability.
Looking at Zhu Xianxin and Chen Yuanyuan, who were crying silently, Su Tiancheng couldn't say anything, he also realized that Chen Yuanyuan, a girl, is really good, gentle and considerate, empathetic, and there is no trace of the breath of the rivers and lakes on her body, compared to those ladies, she is much stronger, and he can also see that Zhu Xianxin's understanding of Chen Yuanyuan is very good.
Su Tiancheng himself didn't expect that among Qin Huai's Bayan, the three people with the greatest influence, Gu Hengbo, Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan, all became his women. (To be continued......)
