The first, third, and fifth years of junior high school, a total of three sessions of the Enke exam are over, although the examiner has to score less papers in ten days and eight days before the rankings come out, but how did they do in the exam, they have some numbers in their hearts.

When thousands of scholars walked out of the Jiangnan Tribute Courtyard, some people were happy and some were worried. But whether it's happy or bad, many people choose to go to Qinglou. Ten miles of Qinhuai, there are countless green buildings, and they are full for a while.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, visiting Qinglou after trying has almost become a kind of "historical precipitation".

The honor and disgrace of a lifetime is paid here, and the imperial examination is not only related to the fate of one's life, but also carries the hope of parents, wives and children, clansmen, and even the entire township. During the exam, the pressure on each of them was too heavy.

People who think they have done well in the exam go to the Qinglou to celebrate. For those who feel that they do not do well in the exam, going to the Qinglou is also a common way to decompress.

Zheng Jie, as the envoy of the Zheng family, rushed to Jinling City non-stop, when thousands of scholars walked out of the Jiangnan Tribute Courtyard, Zheng Xie was secretly shocked when he saw this sensational scene.

It is already known that the imperial examination was a means used by the emperor to buy scholars. From another point of view, so many scholars came to take Qin Mu's Enke exam, which is enough to show the backlash of people's hearts.

The Qin State had already formulated a system for receiving envoys, first the officials of the Honglu Temple came forward to settle them, and then reported them. Zheng Xie wanted to see Qin Mu directly, it was not so easy.

The person who received Zheng Xie was Gan Nan, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and after playing Qin Mu, Qin Mu did not change people, and directly asked Gan Nan to be responsible for talking with Zheng Jie.

In Honglu Temple, Zheng Xie was a little dissatisfied. Several times he shouted to meet Qin Mu.

Gan Nan was dressed meticulously in a bright black official robe, he smiled and said, "If Zheng Envoy doesn't want to talk to this official, this official is not reluctant. ”

Zheng Xie was a servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Longwu Dynasty, and Gan Nan called him "Zheng Envoy" and called himself "Benguan", which sounds a bit harsh.

However, this is not to blame Gannan, the Qin State has never recognized the legitimacy of the small court of Longwu, and Gannan will naturally not be commensurate with Zheng Jie's position.

Seeing Gannan, he had the intention of leaving. Zheng Xie couldn't care about his title. He immediately said, "Lord Gan is here on behalf of King Qin? ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, Lord Gan, please take a seat."

"Zheng Envoy, please take a seat."

Zheng Xie was anti-guest, Gan Nan didn't care, sat down and said with a smile: "I'm up and down in Daqin." Efficiency is always emphasized in handling official duties. Therefore. From my king to the hundred officials. I don't like to drag mud and water, so what is the matter with Zheng Envoy here, please tell me directly. ”

"That being the case. The official also bluntly said that I was ordered to come this time in the hope that the two countries would reconcile and never fight again. ”

"So, Zheng Envoy is here on behalf of the Tang King?"

"The King of Tang has succeeded to the throne as the son of the Great Tomorrow"

Gannan interrupted him with a smile, "Then we won't have anything to talk about." ”

"Lord Gan and slowly." Seeing that Gan Nan was calm and calm, and was about to get up and leave again, Zheng Xie finally had to face the reality, "My family Pingguo Gong is willing to reconcile with King Qin and never fight again." ”

"Zheng Zhilong colluded with the Tartars, first used force against my Great Qin, and now he said that if he doesn't fight, he won't fight, where will he put my Great Qin? If he really has the heart to go to war, he has to show some sincerity. ”

"The previous conflict between the two armies was just a misunderstanding, and my family Pingguo Gong had no intention of surrendering. The banner of the king of Qin is held high, and the 200,000 land and water divisions of my Zheng family are willing to serve the banner of the king of Qin, and the southeast of the Qin country is the Ping Domain, and the town of Fujian is yongzhen. In order to show sincerity, my family is willing to send the eldest son to Beijing as a hostage. ”

Zheng Jie's words made Gan Nan a little surprised, according to intelligence, Zheng Sen has always been regarded as the Zheng family's Qianli Horse, is it because Zheng Sen's recent behavior has disappointed Zheng Zhilong too much, so he made the decision to send Zheng Sen to Jinling as a hostage?

In the main hall of the palace, Qin Mu, Sima An, Zhuge Min, Li Yuan, He Liang, Gu Junen, and Liu Meng were also discussing the affairs of Fujian. The situation in Fujian has a far-reaching impact not only on Fujian Province, but also on the four provinces of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Yunnan and Guizhou.

Therefore, we should not only focus on Fujian, but also focus on the overall situation.

Zhuge Min said: "King Qin, after the northern captives get grain and grass, it is a foregone conclusion that the army will press the border, at this time, my Great Qin is bound to deal with the northern captives with all its might, and it is difficult to deploy heavy troops to pacify the southwest, the Zheng family in Fujian has nearly 200,000 troops, and there are sailors for it. The minister thinks that it is not too much to force it now, and it is better to appease it first, and it is not too late to slowly weaken it in the future. ”

Zhuge Min's words are exactly what Qin Mu is considering, how to treat the Zheng family is the most beneficial to Great Qin, which really requires some wisdom.

He Liang said, "King Qin, Zheng Zhilong is mercenary, but he has no great ambitions, and Great Qin can regard it as a major threat, but he doesn't have to treat it as a danger to his henchmen." The key to this is Zhu Yujian, Zhu Yujian's stay is related to the back of Liangguang Yungui;

In Chen's opinion, it may not be advantageous to abolish Zhu Yujian immediately now. Zhu Yujian claimed that the emperor had come, although he was regarded as the lord by Liangguang and Yunguiyao, but Zhu Yujian himself had always been controlled by the Zheng family and was actually a puppet, so he had no control over Liangguang and Yungui;

If Zhu Yujian is abolished immediately, under the condition that the soldiers of the northern captives are pressed and our army cannot look south, it is very likely that Liangguang and Yungui will set up a new master, which will be unfavorable to our Great Qin. Therefore, the minister thought that it was okay to accept Zheng Zhilong's conditions, but it was necessary for him to set up the banner of Longwu first. ”

Qin Mu glanced at Sima An and the others, and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

Sima An muttered: "I'm afraid that this may not be effective, Huang Daozhou led the troops to break into the palace to rescue, a large number of officials of the Longwu Dynasty fled to Liangguang, and Longwu is now seriously injured after falling from a horse, which is bound to make people's hearts even more chaotic. ”

The current situation is that those who are willing to return to Qin have basically returned to Qin, and most of those who went to Liangguang have feelings for Zhu Ming, so it is more difficult to surrender. In this way, as Sima An said, the possibility of them setting up a new monarch will be extremely great.

However, it is impossible for Liangguang to be all loyal to Zhu Ming.

According to the report that does not receive at night, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, is not a good bird, and I am afraid that he is not so loyal to Zhu Ming;

Since Ding Kuichu was appointed as the governor of Liangguang in the Hongguang Dynasty, he has been doing things for pleasure every day, raising three or four hundred wives and concubines at home, and accumulating dozens of warehouses of assets.

Two months ago, he sent a navy to the Antelope Gorge near Zhaoqing, drained the river, and took inkstones from the old pit at the foot of the Axe Ke Mountain. Its administrative employment is based on the amount of bribes, and he is really a mediocre and incompetent person who is greedy for pleasure.

It's just that the current Liangguang is also relatively chaotic, although Ding Kuichu is the governor of Liangguang, the only places he really controls are Zhaoqing and Wuzhou.

Guangzhou and other places were actually in the hands of Wang Huacheng, the governor of Guangdong, Gu Yuanjing, the political envoy, and Lin Jiading, the envoy of the inspection. Guilin, Liuzhou and other places in Guangxi are under the control of Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangxi.

However, Ding Kuichu is always a good breakthrough, Qin Mu and everyone discussed, decided to take Ding Kuichu first, cut off Guangxi and Guangdong, to prevent the two forces from joining together, in this way, the changes in Fujian, the impact on the two Guangxi can be reduced a lot.

Subsequently, Qin Mu personally met with Zheng Jie. Said directly to Zheng Jie: "This king can accept Zheng Zhilong's subordination, and agree to appoint him as the general army of Fujian, in charge of Fujian's defense, according to the system of my Great Qin, generals are not allowed to meddle in local government affairs, therefore, Fujian will all be governed by officials sent by this king." ”

Zheng Xie didn't know from what channel, he learned that the Qing army was preparing to go south, and his attitude began to become tougher, he replied: "My family Pingguo Gong is sincerely attached, and I am willing to be the southeast of the Qin State, and the eight mountains and one water and one field in Fujian, the production is not abundant, and it should be kept in Fujian to raise the army, otherwise it will be difficult for the southeast soldiers to settle down." ”

Qin Mu sneered when he heard this and said, "Zheng Jie, you don't toast or drink." Are you really helpless to be the king of your Zheng family? This king believes that the Dutch, Portuguese and Spaniards must be interested in the trade privileges of my Great Qin, as long as this king loosens his mouth, I believe that they will be very willing to cooperate with this king and attack Fujian by land and water, and at that time, are you confident that the Zheng family can keep Fujian? ”

Zheng Xie was secretly shocked when he heard this, the Zheng family controlled the southeast passage and had a conflict of interest with the Westerners, and the two sides had long been divided, and now Qin Mu controlled the richest Jiangnan and Huguang, if he promised to give the Westerners trade privileges, then it would not be a problem to reach an alliance with the Westerners.

With Westerners joining, the advantages of the Zheng family's water division will be neutralized, the army does not count, just the water division, Qin Mu is enough to fight with the Zheng family.
