Li Yan's choice is right, from Fuzhou to Nanjing 1,7800 miles, even if it is 600 miles expedited, it will take six or seven days to come and go, Fuzhou will have new changes every day, where can it be delayed?

According to the opinions of Shi Kefa and others, if you go to Huai'an Mansion again, you will have to delay at least three more days, and if you delay, it will be fatal.

Fortunately, Li Yan overrode public opinion and insisted on his decision, even Zhu Jie felt glad for his choice, if it wasn't for Li Yan to lead the dynasty and make a clear will, it would really be difficult to do this time, Zhu Jie can imagine how much pressure Li Yan is under to make this decision, and a Bianzhou candidate will be regarded as a reward for him. At the same time, it is also necessary to come up with such a gesture to give Li Yan the greatest support, after all, in the Nanjing Dynasty, no one's vision and mind can compare to Li Yan.

In the past few days, Zheng Hongkui has also tried his best to persuade Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Hongkui didn't dare to tear his face with Zheng Zhilong, once he tore his face, he was imprisoned by Zheng Zhilong again, then the Zheng family would really be finished.

However, Zheng Zhilong has already eaten the scales, how can he still persuade him? Things have already been done, it doesn't mean that you can turn back if you turn back, Zheng Zhilong can also be regarded as a hegemon, a hero, a person who is used to killing and deciding, once a decision is made, he will never turn back. Zheng Hongkui persuaded for four or five days, but it had no effect, so he had to let Zheng Zhilong do it.

"Fourth, now our entire family has been tied to a big boat, and I called you back for fear that you would be harmed by the imperial court, and the Zhenjiang general soldier of Lao Shizi will not be wanted, once the imperial court falls, the Qing Dynasty will unify the world, don't say that you can sit on a general soldier, that is, the governor! At this time, the minds of our brothers must be together, brothers are of the same heart, and the benefits are broken by gold, don't you understand? For the sake of our Zheng family, we have no choice but to choose! ”

Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice.

"Okay, eldest brother, since the eldest brother insists, you are the head of the family, and the younger brother is naturally obedient, but do you see if you release Sen'er, you have been locked up for more than ten days......"

Zheng Hongkui replied with a sigh.

Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly: "Hmph! Maybe my decision to let him go to Guozijian to study was really wrong, over the years, there has been no other growth, but he has become a nerd, how can he afford the burden of the head of the Zheng family in the future? Well, you go and persuade him, after all, the two of you have the closest relationship in the past few years, as long as he doesn't insist, you don't need to lock him up. ”

"Yes, big brother!"

Zheng Zhilong continued: "Fourth, you are the chief soldier of Zhenjiang and a martial artist, you are not as good as me and your third brother in the war at sea, but you are better than us in land affairs, I plan to let you lead the affairs of this Northern Expedition, how do you feel?" ”

Zheng Hongkui was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, how can this be done?" Maybe the younger brother is slightly stronger than you and the third brother, but the private army of Fuzhou Town and the Zheng family has always been led by you and the third brother, the younger brother has been far away in Zhenjiang, and the soldiers in the army are very unfamiliar, the big war is imminent, the younger brother is in command of the temperance army, how can he command it? Even if you give a strict order, I'm afraid that you can't be like an arm, the two armies are fighting, the most important order is through, and changing generals on the spot is a taboo for soldiers! ”

Zheng Zhilong pondered slightly, and Zheng Zhibao on the side said: "Big brother, what the fourth brother said is right, changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, the Northern Expedition is a big deal, Zhibiao has always guarded Zhenjiang in the north, and abruptly came to command the three armies, how can it be done?" We are facing Zhu Jie's henchman Cha Zhu, I heard that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by him, and we are even more careless! ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded and replied: "Well, in that case, this time I will personally lead the army, Zhibao, you will go with me to the military affairs of the counselor!" Fourth, you and Sen'er will stay in Fuzhou, you must bring the sailor well during this time, don't go wrong, the Northern Expedition will go smoothly, if you lose, the sailor is our biggest reliance, as long as the sailor is there, we can continue to be our sea overlord! ”

Zheng Hongkui's heart was bitter, this big brother is determined to fight the court to the end......

"Fourth, there is one more thing, that is, the war horse of Manchuria, it should have been almost prepared now, when Sony left, he told me that he had twenty days, and he could prepare to stop, and now half a month has passed, you will arrange someone to lead the sailor to Tianjin Wei to welcome the war horse back to Fuzhou, once you arrive in Fuzhou, you will immediately prepare to build a cavalry battalion, without delay!"

Zheng Zhilong continued.

Zheng Hongkui hurriedly bowed down and said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will personally handle this matter with Sen'er, and I will definitely bring the war horse back to Fuzhou safely!" ”

"Okay, that's it, get ready, tomorrow, the three armies will go out and go straight to Nanjing!"

Zheng Zhilong explained all the affairs, and after more than half a month of preparation, he led nearly 60,000 foot riders to set off from Fuzhou and go straight to Nanjing!

Only two days later, Deng Long returned to Fuzhou from Nanjing, seven days back and forth, even if Deng Long was a fierce general in the army, he was already tired and stupid along the way, just the war horse ran to death three horses, and after jumping off the war horse, he was completely paralyzed on the ground, unable to say a word!

The family member of the Hou Mansion ran over and helped Deng Long up, "Quick, quick, help me to see the fourth master......"

Deng Long said with difficulty.

Deng Long was helped to the back by the family, and saw Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong, who had just been released.

"Come on, prepare hot tea and snacks immediately! Zheng Biao, tell me to go down, and all idle people are not allowed to approach! ”

Zheng Hongkui shouted, and Zheng Biao, the general of the family on the side, hurriedly went down to disperse the nearby family slaves.

Zheng Chenggong asked urgently, "Deng Long, what's going on?" ”

Deng Long took a sip of tea and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, eldest son, it's done!" When the little one arrived in Nanjing, it happened that His Majesty had already taken the imperial conquest in person, leaving the cabinet minister Li Yan to preside over the government, Lord Li immediately made a decision and promised us, as long as the adults and the prince were willing to surrender to the court and help the court suppress the Fuzhou rebellion, the court was not to blame for the Zheng family's past, except for the Hou Ye and the second son, everyone else was pardoned and not punished! ”

"Great!"

Zheng Chenggong punched hard, it seems that his choice is right, the Zheng family can finally be saved!

"Why, without the emperor's approval?"

Zheng Hongkui frowned, a little worried in his heart, after all, although Li Yan is the first assistant and presides over the government, but once the emperor repents, anyway, it is not what he said personally, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of his words.

"That's right,"

Deng Long hurriedly said: "My lord, in order to guarantee, Lord Li specially wrote an edict and covered the jade seal, and in addition, Lord Shi Kefa also wrote a letter to you and your son, please take a look!" ”

The two of them hurriedly took the edict and the letter and watched it carefully.

Call......

Zheng Chenggong let out a long breath and said: "Fourth uncle, there is no problem, with the holy decree, and the Lord Xianzhi as a guarantee, the character of the Lord Xian, we can trust, the matter is done!" ”
