Li Yan's strategy of attacking the heart does not have any problems, and the analysis of the current situation is also very accurate, this is what Li Yan is best at, he is not an excellent commander, but he is the best military advisor, the vision is accurate, the strategy is deep, almost no one can beat it in this era, but Li Yan can't imagine that this time it is not Zheng Zhilong's subordinates who committed the crime, but his son!

In order to ensure the status of the Zheng family in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong can hand over the arms and his subordinates, but it is absolutely impossible to hand over his own son, and the tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that Tagawa Nanaemon is now Zheng Zhilong's right-hand man.

So this matter, whether it is the court holding a big stick high, or a combination of grace and power, it is useless, Zheng Zhilong will definitely not let himself take the slightest risk, he must be thrown cleanly, and even in order to be able to clear the relationship, he has to say that all the people who were captured were killed, and the corpses were directly abandoned in the sea, in a word, he did not admit it, as for the strict order to exterminate the Haikou and recover the arms, Zheng Zhilong had already thought clearly, one word, drag! Can drag on for a day is a day, the vast sea, thousands of miles, and he is not an unknown prophet, he can't find it, no one has a rut, if he can't do it, he will push it on the red-haired devil, and the court will really remove himself from his post and investigate because of his own disadvantage? Zhu Jie will definitely not be so stupid, at this time, set up a strong enemy for himself.

Li Yan couldn't imagine this layer, after all, his strategy of attacking the heart was destined to hit in the air.

Duan Xuan led a hundred elite horsemen, all the way south, one person and two horses, the horses did not stop, more than a thousand miles away, only three or four days, rushed to Fuzhou.

The group came to the Yamen of the Admiral of the Fujian Navy, Duan Xuan took his mount and shouted: "Under the emperor's will, Zheng Zhilong, the Admiral of the Fujian Navy, came out to receive the decree!" ”

Zheng Zhilong, who had been prepared, hurriedly led the generals under his command to greet Duan Xuan and enter the yamen.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Fujian Navy Admiral Jingnan Hou Zheng Zhilong Shenhe Emperor's grace, bearing the weight of thousands of miles of sea frontiers in southern Xinjiang, but it is unfavorable to maintain the sea frontier, resulting in the sea thieves swarming, the Ming caravan has been repeatedly robbed, and even more lost, the imperial court and the South China Sea procurement of arms, and the southern tip of Taiwan Island sea area was plundered by pirates, all lost, the harm is huge, no more, Zheng Zhilong within a month, must find out the truth, arrest pirates, recover arms, must not be violated! Chin this! ”

It was the first time for Duan Xuan to make a decree, and between his words, the sternness was fully displayed, as if the emperor was there in person, Duan Xuan handed the promotion to Zheng Zhilong, but his face softened.

"Hehe, Lord Zheng, the emperor's meaning is very clear, this case of arms loss, the emperor Long Yan was furious, and even the table was overturned, General Xu Peiming, who was in charge, was his favorite general, who was also reprimanded in his eyes, and he had been detained at home for self-examination, arms worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, the Central Plains battlefield was waiting for this batch of arms to be rescued, and now all of them were lost on the sea frontier, how could the emperor not be in a hurry? Please also ask for your understanding. ”

Duan Xuan said with a smile.

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you Lord Duan for your advice, Lord Duan and the brothers have worked hard all the way, please rest with refreshments first, how about we talk slowly?" ”

Duan Xuan said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then disturb, this official has traveled all the way, and he has run out of 1,500 miles in four days, and he is really tired, and he is not resting, but I am afraid that the brothers will run away, and I will have to rest in Fuzhou for a few days before I can leave to go back." ”

Zheng Zhilong ordered someone to entertain the soldiers who came with him, invited Duan Xuan into the back office, and after sitting down, he said: "Lord Duan, if such a thing happens, the lower officials are also very ashamed, and they have the emperor's trust, please rest assured that the emperor will definitely go all out to arrest the murderers, bring these pirates to justice, and recover the arms!" ”

Duan Xuan nodded and said: "Lord Zheng, this is natural, I'm afraid that the adults don't know yet, but now there are some rumors that are not favorable to you are circulating, some people say that they saw the Zheng family's flag on the pirate ship, and some people say that those pirates are the Zheng family's comrades overseas, and some people even say that it is the remnants left by Liu Xiang back then, my lord, these emperors naturally don't believe it, after all, you are also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, how can you do things that endanger the Ming court?" The enemy is painful, the relatives are fast, the emperor is wise and martial, naturally it is very clear, however, the emperor is clear to the emperor, and the following imperial historians may not be clear, Lord Zheng, I want to remind you, hurry up and do things well, and prove your innocence, otherwise, when the imperial historians hand the impeachment notes to the emperor one by one, the emperor has the heart to protect you, and then there will be no powerlessness......"

Zheng Zhilong's heart was slightly shocked, sure enough, he was still noticed by someone, but he didn't know whether Duan Xuan's words were deceiving himself now, or really showing him the way.

"Lord Duan, hehe, you also know that Xia Guan was originally born as a pirate, this humble background, although the emperor favored him and continued to give grace, but there are still many people in the court who are not used to Xia Guan, thinking that they are ashamed of me, the grass king, and Xia Guan is also helpless, but how can it be said that the people of Xia Guan hijacked the court caravan? The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and under the nest, there are no eggs! Now that the Ming Dynasty is facing the strong advance of the Manchurian Tartars, and the country is in turmoil, it is the time for us to work together, how could the lower officials do such an unwise thing? If the Ming Dynasty is ruined, the high-ranking officials of Xiaguan will have to be all lost? This, this is definitely a false accusation by others against the lower officials, and I also ask Lord Duan to say a few kind words to the emperor, the lower officials are grateful! ”

Zheng Zhilong accompanied the smiling face and bent over, at this time, facing the dignified ministry, the emperor's cadres were naturally going to put themselves in the right position.

Duan Xuan nodded and replied: "This is needless to say, after all, we are both military generals, so we naturally have to stand on the same line, those civil servants are already powerful, if we are not united, the civil ministers will ride on our heads to and pee, but, it is still the same sentence, Lord Zheng, when you still contribute, you must contribute, and it is a dead effort, Lord Zheng, you have been crisscrossing the sea for twenty or thirty years, and you have been in the East and the South Seas, this thing is still difficult for you, as long as the arms are recovered, not only are you not guilty, It's still a miracle, and it's not a problem to be added to the rank and knight......"

Duan Xuan has been in Manchuria for three years, and he has already experienced and practiced, long-sleeved and good at dancing, left and right, he knows that what the emperor needs most now is not to sit on Zheng Zhilong's charges, but to munitions, as long as the munitions can be recovered, Zheng Zhilong's matter will be talked about later, now is not the time to persecute him, he can only appease step by step, and test Zheng Zhilong's attitude.
