Fan Yongdou hurried to Yanjing and was received by the Manchu regent Dolgon.

In the lobby of the Regent's Palace, Dolgon wears a round warm hat with ruby beads, and the middle of the warm hat is decorated with a red silk weft, and under the top beads, a two-inch long pipe is inserted into the peacock feathers. Wearing a python robe embroidered with five claws and nine pythons, he sat on the chair, his expression was not angry but mighty.

Fan Yongdou felt a strong pressure from Dolgon, and lay on the ground, bowing and respecting.

"Get up, but you are quick, and do you know why this king has summoned you?"

"It is a great kindness for the regent to summon him, how dare the grass people not come day and night, but the grass people are stupid and dare not think about the regent's wishes." Fan Yongdou got up and stood in the hall with his bow bowed.

Dolgon's face was calm and he said, "Sit down." Serve tea! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, in front of the regent, how can there be a seat for the grass people, the regent has tormented the grass people."

Seeing that he looked sincere and frightened, Dolgon was no longer polite, and instead said: "Before I entered the customs of the Qing Dynasty, your eight families on the right side of the mountain made a lot of contributions to my Qing Dynasty, and with the faith of my Qing Dynasty, but whoever holds the dragon ticket, I will not forget his merits." This king intends to play the emperor, and seal the eight families on the right side of your mountain as imperial merchants, specializing in foreign trade. It's just"

When Dolgon mentioned the dragon ticket, Fan Yongdou was overjoyed, and thought that Dolgon was ready to repay the debt.

During the Nurhachi period, due to the shortage of materials, Nurhachi borrowed from Shanxi merchants who had trade relations to show his integrity. Nurhachi issued the borrowers with a ticket stamped with a jade seal, known as a dragon ticket.

Fan Yongdou and the others all held a lot of dragon tickets in their hands, but after they were satisfied with the customs clearance, they didn't dare to mention the matter of dragon tickets anymore and ask the emperor for debts, I'm afraid that only when King Zhou Yu dared to do this.

If Dolgon took the initiative to repay them, made them imperial merchants, and gave them the privilege of foreign trade, it would be a good thing that could not be desired.

It's just that Dolgon then said "just", and Fan Yongdou immediately understood. I'm afraid it's not so easy to be this imperial businessman.

He hurriedly said, "What does the regent command?" But please instruct the grass people to smear their liver and brain on the ground to report to the regent Longen. ”

This time, Dolgon didn't speak, and it was Fan Wencheng's turn to play. The sea and the sky are wide and the sky is discussed.

Fan Yongdou is a complete profiteer. Fan Wencheng hasn't gotten to the point yet. He began to cry poor, there were no goods in the south, and there were few medicinal herbs in the north. There are a large number of people in the family, and they will soon not be able to pay their wages.

Fan Wencheng said that he was scheming, and he had nothing to do in front of Fan Yongdou, so it was not easy to rob it now.

Fortunately, Fan Yongdou cried poor just to show how difficult it was for him, and he rushed to come first, just to seize the opportunity over the other seven, and he would not really be a dime.

In particular, although it is impossible to monopolize the privileges of foreign trade mentioned by Dolgon, you can snatch the fattest piece first. Therefore, after crying poorly, he made another appearance of smashing pots and selling iron, and promised to make up thirty taels of money and grain.

Dolgon was very happy when he heard this, but he did not immediately say that he would be the head of the Eight Imperial Merchants.

When Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yongfa rushed to Yanjing, Fan Wencheng seized the initiative and obtained two million dollars of money and grain from these Jin merchants at the expense of the privilege of foreign trade and the salt distribution right of Changlu Salt Farm.

This result is a happy thing for both parties, two million seems to be a lot, but for Fan Yongdou and others, the family's family property exceeds this number.

Now their business is indeed not as good as before, they have become imperial merchants, have obtained the monopoly privilege of foreign trade, and have also obtained the right to distribute salt in Changlu Salt Factory, which in their opinion, is worth far more than two million taels.

And Dolgon through the transfer of some distribution rights, raised two million taels of money and grain, which is in dire straits for Dolgon, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, with this batch of money and food, the Qing army will soon be able to organize a full-scale offensive.

Dolgon of Yanjing breathed a sigh of relief, but Longwu of Fujian became an ant on a hot pot.

I don't know whether the "letter of collaborator with the enemy" burned in public outside the noon gate is true or not, and many ministers secretly breathe a sigh of relief anyway.

Long Wu actually figured out this move to show the Zheng family that he was generous and did not care about the past acts of collaborating with the enemy.

This trick would have been very effective, if it weren't for Zheng Zhilong hurrying back, Long Wu really had a chance to "tour south", but unfortunately his life was not good, Zheng Zhilong didn't return early, didn't return late, but when he arranged the "southern tour" schedule, Zheng Zhilong came back.

As soon as he heard that he was leaving, Zheng Zhilong immediately stopped him, and now the Qin army is pressing the border, and the Qin army is mobilizing in Fenshui Pass and Xianxia Pass, and Fujian is facing a crisis where the mountains and rains are about to come.

Qin Mu also posted traitor labels everywhere, with Longwu here, he could always distribute most of these labels, but he sent himself to the "Northern Expedition" at the beginning.

If Long Wu ran away, all the labels would be attached to his head, so where would Zheng Zhilong let him go at this time.

Long Wu saw that he couldn't leave, and in a panic, he and Empress Zeng found an excuse to leave the palace, and then under the protection of Lu Kunheng and dozens of other people under the command of Jinyiwei, they fled to Guangdong in disguise.

However, after escaping for dozens of miles, he was chased back and forth by Zheng Jiajun.

Zheng Zhilong did not make a noise about this matter, but he was worried that Longwu would escape again, so he put him and Empress Zeng under house arrest in the palace.

Officials Shangshu, Wuyingdian University Scholar Huang Daozhou, Hubu Shangshu, Wenyuange University Scholar Jiang Dejing, Ministry of Rites Shangshu, Dongge University Scholar Zhu Jizuo, Ministry of Industry Shangshu, Dongge University Scholar Zeng Ying and others, repeatedly entered the palace to ask for a meeting, but were blocked, everyone felt very bad, which further confirmed the fact that Zheng Zhilong surrendered.

Huang Daozhou, who was upright and scheming, was shocked and angry, and actually rushed straight to the palace with the 2,000 flat troops he had recruited, intending to rescue Longwu.

As a result, his Biandan's army was vulnerable, and Zheng Zhibao only led 200 Zheng Jia's army, and killed his 2,000 Biandan's army, and he himself became a prisoner.

Zheng Zhilong then wanted to kill Huang Daozhou on the grounds of rebellion, and after Zheng Sen's hard persuasion, Huang Daozhou was finally spared death, but he was also detained by Zheng Zhilong.

This great change came very suddenly, but it caused a great shock to the whole of Fujian, and many local officials abandoned their posts and fled.

Even Su Guansheng, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and Zhu Jizuo, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, also fled.

For a time, the entire Fujian people were in turmoil, and rumors were spreading.

It's a pity that the Qin army's forces at Xianxia Pass and Fenshui Pass are only a few thousand people, and the two passes are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defenders are all cronies of the Zheng family, so they didn't let the Qin army pick up an opportunity to take advantage of.

In the study room of the Pingguo Mansion, in addition to Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Cai, even Zheng Hongkui, who was originally stationed at the Fenshui Pass, was hurriedly recruited back by Zheng Zhilong.

The four of them closed the door and discussed countermeasures in the study.

Everyone's expressions were very solemn, including Zheng Zhilong, they didn't expect that Huang Daozhou's guy with a tendon brain would suddenly lead troops into the palace.

Although the Biandan army was vulnerable, the consequences made the Zheng family very passive. Although he claimed to be the Zodiac Zhou's rebellion, a discerning person could know the rights and wrongs of the Dao at a glance.

"Big brother, what now?" Zheng Zhibao asked worriedly.

Zheng Zhilong's heart was also a little confused, and he didn't answer for a while.

Zheng Cai, who was named Yongshengbo, hurriedly said: "I see, let's just don't do it, and we don't stop it, now we keep Jiang Dejing's crooked guys, but it will be a bad thing, it is better to slaughter them all in the name of rebellion, let's let go and do a big job, with Xianxia and Fenshui in hand, Qin Mu may not be able to help me." ”

"No." Zheng Hongkui hurriedly said: "Killing these people will not help, it will only attract more enemies to my Zheng family." Big brother, I think we might as well send someone to talk to Qin Mu. ”

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Zhilong frowned.

"Big brother, if there is anything that can't be talked about now, as long as Qin Mu promises to let me Zheng Jiayong Town Bafu, we will take his emperor name. Qin Mu is now under the enemy's back, and he may not agree to this condition. ”

"Okay, then you can send someone to talk to Qin Mu." Zheng Zhilong doesn't seem to have much hope for this.

Although for him, it doesn't matter who the emperor title is. At the beginning, he communicated with Hong Chengchou, but in fact, it was just a deal, but now he and Qin Mu have torn their faces, and Qin Mu's attitude towards traitors makes him feel at ease.

In view of this, he felt that he had to make another plan and reserve a way back for himself. He took a long breath and said, "It seems that there will be a bloody battle." ”

Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Cai asked in unison, "Who are you fighting with?" ”

"Red-haired ghost."

"Red-haired ghost? Big brother, at this time"

"We've got to have a back road, just in case.".
