Nanjing City is divided into four ring patterns, such as the imperial city, the palace city, the capital city, and the outer outline. ￠，

The outer outline of the city wall winds between the mountains and rivers, the circumference is more than 120 miles, the Yuhuatai, Zhongshan, Shogunate Mountain, Lion Mountain, Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake and so on are all encircled in it, the mountains and rivers are intertwined, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful.

In the Ming Dynasty, the outline was still longitudinal and horizontal, a rural and pastoral scene.

But today, all 18 gates have been built with asphalt roads. Approaching the inside of the capital, it has been re-planned, with spacious and straight asphalt roads crisscrossing the city, and on both sides of the road, there are rows of houses and shops, which are no different from those in the city.

In addition, since the streets and buildings are mostly new, they look even more gorgeous than those in the capital. The wealthy family in Beijing thinks that the capital is too crowded and there is no room for expansion, so they choose to build other courtyards on the outside, and the buildings are either luxurious or elegant among the flowers and trees, quiet and pleasant.

The Qinhuai River enters the city from the upper gate of the south side of the verandah, and along the banks of the river is the deep courtyard of Huating, which is scattered.

In a deep courtyard by the river, wind and rain shrouded the pavilions. In the secluded room of the west wing, the doors and windows are closed, the sky is difficult to enter, and the indoor light is like a bean, swaying slightly.

"What? The East China Sea Fleet all went south to Fujian? How good is that? Mr. Niu, tell me, has Qin Mu found something? ”

In the shadow of the lamp, Zheng Zhilong stood up with a shocked expression. He is 47 years old this year, but he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is in his 40s.

"Don't worry, the East China Sea Fleet went south to Fujian, it should just be to put pressure on Yuan Zongdi and prevent him from resisting."

This so-called Mr. Niu, who was fifty-five years old at the time, had long thin cheeks and a goatee, and was not Niu Jinxing, the prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty.

He was originally from Baofeng. Later, he moved to the county seat. In his twenties, he was a talent in his twenties, and he was raised in the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627). He likes to read, and is familiar with Tianguan, Fengjiao, Sun and Wu's art of war.

After voting for Li Zicheng, he was reused, formulated strategies and tactics for Li Zicheng, and became an official to the position of prime minister, but this person is narrow-minded, and likes to play with power, sees the wind and rudder, and has no loyalty.

After Li Zicheng retreated to Xiangyang, he and his son Niu Yan saw that the situation was not good. immediately abandoned Li Zicheng and lived an incognito life.

Once his boat was in distress on the Yangtze River, and by mistake, he happened to be rescued by Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong became his "benefactor".

Both of them were once influential figures, and they were both fallen people at the end of the world. And they are not willing to be lonely.

Especially for people like Niu Jinxing, the world is peaceful, and there is nothing to do with him. So he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic!

The Zheng family was rich enough to rival the country, and after accepting the Great Qin Zhao'an, they offered Qin Mu a huge amount of nine million taels. The richness of his family background makes Niu Xingjin breathtaking.

In addition, there are many people in the old department of the Zheng family who are generals in the navy, which is equivalent to having both money and food, as well as soldiers and horses.

After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, he has been living a low-key reclusive life, and Niu Jinxing has a ghost. With a lotus tongue, under his repeated advocacy, Zheng Zhilong was already uninhibited by nature. was ambitious, so he listened to what Niu Jinxing said and asked him to plan carefully, so there was today's embarrassment.

However, Zheng Zhilong was really very scruple about Qin Mu, although he had been secretly preparing for a long time, but if he hadn't gotten the information that Qin Mu was "seriously ill", he really wouldn't have dared to launch a conspiracy.

Now that Qin Mu is going to hold a great court meeting and send the East China Sea Fleet south to Fujian, Zheng Zhilong panicked when he heard it. His biggest bargaining chip is to hide in the shadows, blame others, stir up the situation, and then fish in troubled waters.

Once the matter is revealed, he has no leverage to speak of. Although many of the Zheng family's old departments served in the navy, if Qin Mu died, Zheng Zhilong was very confident that he would respond to the call and quickly recruit these old departments to form a more powerful force than the original, and then play the banner of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, to compete for the world.

But if Qin Mu is unharmed, and he also sees through that the Zheng family is the mastermind behind the scenes, let alone recruiting the old department, I am afraid that what awaits him is only a thousand cuts.

Tomorrow's big court meeting, Zheng Zhilong is also going to participate, he said with some anxiety: "Mr. Niu, I'm afraid this information is wrong, Qin Mu's current arrangement is not like the end of the day, on the contrary, it seems that we gave him a chance, so that he can be better than others." ”

Zheng Zhilong always had the feeling of falling for Qin Mu, and even suspected that "Qin Mu was seriously ill" was simply a trick under Qin Mu, tricking people with different ambitions to drill.

If "Qin Mu is seriously ill" is not a fact, then thinking of the consequences, Zheng Zhilong's back is cold.

Niu Jinxing hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry, we are not the only ones who got the information that night, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Nanjing City, who is not secretly spreading the news." As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, not to mention that it is true that the imperial doctor secretly discusses Qin Mu's illness. Now that the time is still short, maybe there is no abnormality, Qin Mu's various measures are also within our expectations, and the benefactor only needs to wait and see what happens. ”

"Although Qin Mu's reaction was as we expected, the development of the situation was very different from what we expected. Now that the news of Qin Mu's imminent limit has also spread, Li Guo has also pulled up the anti-flag of 'Dashun', but there are very few responders, which can be different from Mr. Niu's previous estimation that most of the old Dashun departments, whether voluntarily or forced, will inevitably follow Li Guo to set up anti-flags. ”

What kind of character is Niu Jinxing, Zheng Zhilong questioned it face to face, but he remained silent and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if others follow Li Guoanti or not, as long as one person follows him, it's enough!" ”

"Is it really the opposite of high school?" Zheng Zhilong obviously didn't trust Niu Jinxing's calculations very much.

"Benefactor, Gao Guiying has rebelled, does Gao Yigong still have a choice?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong's heart was a little settled. Their biggest hope is Gao Yigong, and they have already taken the first step to act when Qin Muhui uses the telegram to ask Lanzhou to quickly send someone to Lanzhou to relieve Gao Yigong's military power.

"I hope it is as Mr. Niu expected."

Niu Jinxing said confidently: "Don't worry, the benefactor is in power, Gao Yigong has the military power in his hands, as long as he reverses, he can swoop into the pass." Those old generals of the Dashun Army who are still hesitant will definitely follow the incident when the time comes. Now what Eun has to do is to calm down and don't mess up. The opportunity is just around the corner! ”

That being said, but a character like Zheng Zhilong, no matter how greedy he is, he will not be completely stupid, otherwise he would not have become a hegemon in the first place.

Just in case, he still sent people to let Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Tai, Zheng Chaonan, Zheng Ying, Zheng Cai, Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, Yang Geng, Gan Hui, Hong Xu and others prepare respectively. These people are either members of the Zheng family, or they are brothers in life and death with Zheng Zhilong. Although the old department of the Zheng family has been reorganized, it is an army of nearly 100,000 after all, and many people are still serving as generals in the army;

Among them, Shi Lang, Ke Chenshu, and Chen Hui are also highly used. It's just that it is precisely because of this that Zheng Zhilong does not dare to contact these three people for the time being.

The reason is very simple, take Shi Lang and Ke Chenshu as examples, they were the leaders of the younger generation in the Zheng family's army, but they were pressed by a large number of seniors such as Zheng Cai, Zheng Zhibao, and Gan Hui, and they were not well used.

Now Shi Lang has become the admiral of the North Sea Fleet of the Great Qin Royal Navy, and he is like an emperor in Japan; Ke Chenshu became the deputy admiral of the ocean-going fleet, and at present, Hai Rufeng is in India, and the ocean-going fleet is actually led by Ke Chenshu.

In contrast, Shi Lang and Ke Chenshu are much more prosperous now than they were in the Zheng Jiajun at the beginning, and with the emperor so trusting and reusing, he wants them to rebel with him, unless Qin Mu is dead.

Therefore, at present, Zheng Zhilong does not dare to contact the three people, including Chen Hui, lest stealing chickens will not become a counter-erosion.

However, even if Shi Lang, Chen Hui, and Ke Chenshu are excluded, the strength of the Zheng family is still very considerable, coupled with its strong financial resources and many years of business experience, it is not unknowing, and it is really not to be underestimated.

Niu Jinxing said at this time: "Benefactor, now that you are blaming Li Guo, you have already seen through Qin Mu, and we are just going to carry out the second step, which will assassinate the prince and blame others again." ”

"Who is Mr. Niu going to blame?"
