"Flat."

Zhu Cilang raised his hand slightly and said.

Zheng Sen then stood up and stood respectfully.

"If I remember correctly, your father is Zheng, the governor, right?"

Zheng Sen quickly replied: "Your Majesty said very well."

"It turns out that a tiger father has no dog son."

Zhu Cilang sighed and said, "Zheng Qing made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. I feel at ease with him in Fujian."

After a moment of pause, Zhu Cixuan continued: "If it were a peaceful era, the rule of the country would certainly depend on civil officials. But now the state affairs are difficult, and the Donglu steals Shenjing, and the soldiers in the towns are not worth using, so I want to set up a military academy to train a new army. What do you think about state affairs when studying in the Imperial College?"

Zheng Sen thought for a moment and bowed and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, the students think that they should take Shandong first for the present plan and practice the navy. As long as they take Shandong, it will be of great benefit whether it is defense or taking the initiative in the future."

"Oh? Then tell me, what are the benefits of taking Shandong for taking the initiative?"

Zhu Cilang asked with a smile, feeling a little interested.

Zheng Sen said seriously: "Students thought that Jiannu's advantage lies in the Eight Banner Cavalry. It was not enough for the Ming Dynasty to restrain the cavalry and rely on infantry alone. During the reign of Emperor, Mao Junmen founded Dongjiang Town, which greatly restrained Jiannu. At that time, Liao affairs were also very good. Unfortunately, the traitor Yuan Chonghuan forged an edict to kill Mao Junmen, and Dongjiang Town finally became a mess..."

When he said this, Zheng Sen deliberately stopped to observe Zhu Cilang's reaction, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that His Majesty the Emperor was not angry.

After all, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong while serving as the Liaodong governor. Although Yuan Chonghuan made a proclamation, Shang Fang’s sword was given by Chongzhen. After all, Chongzhen was the imperial examination today. If Zheng Sen was concerned about it today, he would have been charged with allusion to the emperor’s father.

"The reason why Jiannu was helpless against Dongjiang Town was because the main force of Dongjiang Town was on the island and all the way was to travel by ships. As soon as the main force of Jiannu left, Mao Junmen led his men to harass Sarhu, Hetuala and other places, which made Jiannu untied. So the students thought that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to defeat Jiannu, they had to rely on the navy!"

After saying this, Zheng Sen had calmed down from his nervous mood and stood with his hands.

"Okay, that's right!"

Zhu Cixuan stood up excitedly, walked to Zheng Sen and patted his shoulder affectionately.

"If you continue, how do you think the court should act after regaining Shandong?"

Zhu Cilang really didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to go with him. In Zhu Cilang's view, regaining Shandong was definitely an important part of the Northern Expedition plan.

Zheng Sen, who was encouraged, continued: "Students thought that the court could rebuild the navy in Dengzhou. As long as the court had a powerful navy, they could send their troops to Jiannu's nest at any time."

"kindness."

Zhu Cilang nodded and walked up with his hands on his back.

If what others said just now was said, Zhu Cilang might not believe it. But the person who said this was Zheng Chenggong, the Zheng Chenggong in history who could send 100,000 naval masters from Fujian to the Yangtze River Estuary of Chongming Island!

In fact, the navigation ability of sea ships in the late Ming Dynasty was already very strong, and there was no problem in voyages from Fujian to Japan and Manila, so it would naturally be difficult to sail from Dengzhou to Fushun and other places.

What's more, Zhu Cilang knew that Zheng Chenggong had successful experiences in the original history.

"You want to rely on the Dengzhou Navy to harass Jiannu, which is very good. But since Jiannu has entered the pass, he will definitely focus on the pass. Even if the navy sends the king to Fushun, he will have limited ability."

Zhu Cilang's judgment comes from the history he knows.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, all the elite Eight Banners were transferred to the capital, and even Emperor Shunzhi Fulin arrived at Shenjing in September. At this time, Chenyang and other places were similar to Nurhaci, Sarhu and Hetuara during the Huang Taiji period, and they probably only left fewer bannermen.

In this case, even if the King of Master recovered Chenyang, it was not absolutely unacceptable to the Qing Dynasty.

The most hateful thing is that Shanhaiguan is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, it would block the Qing Dynasty's way, and even go directly into the pass from outside Shanhaiguan, and a soldier would come to the city.

But now this is almost impossible. Shanhaiguan is the world's largest pass, and its strength is beyond doubt. Since the beginning of the establishment of the pass, it was to defend against the barbarians. Therefore, it is very difficult to fight from outside the pass to inside the pass, but it is relatively easier to go from inside the pass to outside the pass.

"Your Majesty is wise. It is definitely not enough to destroy Jiannu by relying solely on the navy, but it can greatly restrain Jiannu and prevent him from taking into account both the beginning and the end. At that time, Your Majesty will send a large army to the north and will definitely be able to restore Shenjing in one fell swoop!"

Zheng Sen spoke with great enthusiasm and looked very excited. If he hadn't considered that the emperor could not lose his manners, he would probably have to wave his fists.

"I will consider what you said. Now that the state is in a difficult situation, are you willing to study at the Imperial Ming Military Academy and serve the court in the future?"

Zhu Cixuan suddenly changed his subject and stared at Zheng Sen.

Zheng Sen was stunned at first, then knelt down and kowtowed, crying, "Students are willing to be fooled by Your Majesty."

Zheng Sen joined the Imperial College for the Imperial College, who was completely following the order of his father Zheng Zhilong. Perhaps because Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, he hoped that his son could become a decent person.

But Zheng Sen is not willing to write in his heart. If today Zi personally asked him if he would like to go to the military academy, he would naturally not refuse.

According to his understanding, as long as he graduated from the Imperial Ming Military Academy, he would have the opportunity to lead troops to fight against Jiannu in the future.

Why don’t a man bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan! This is exactly what he dreams of!

"Okay! From now on, you can leave the Imperial College to study at the Imperial Ming Military Academy. The state is difficult, and I specially gave you a name and a surname Zhu. I hope you can work together with the Ming Dynasty to expel the Tartars as soon as possible and restore the Shenjing!"

Success, success! The surname of the country...

Zheng Sen was already trembling with excitement at this moment.

He kowtowed at Zhu Cilang three times and sobbed, "The student will definitely not let down His Majesty's trust."

Zhu Cixuan helped Zheng Chenggongxu up again and said earnestly: "Brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers to fight. I plan to appoint Zheng Qing as the general of Fujian, and will definitely be valued in the future when attacking Qing Dynasty."

Zhu Cilang's reward for Zheng Zhilong was just a temporary measure. After all, Zheng Zhilong had a disgraceful act of surrendering the owners in history. Although this time and space have not happened at present, Zhu Cilang still has a knot in his heart.

But at present, even for the sake of the Zheng family's navy, Zhu Cilang had to use Zheng Zhilong first, and he would never force him to rebel. After Zhu Cilang gained control and consolidated military power, he would transfer Zheng Zhilong to Nanjing. If Zheng Zhilong knew the tact, he would give him a false position. If he didn't know the tact, Zhu Cilang naturally had countless ways to make Zheng Zhilong die.

"The student thanks His Majesty for his father's grace."

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly thanked him.

"I am also planning to establish Huangming Trading Company to be responsible for maritime trade in Southeast Asia, Japan and other places. I think only the Zheng family can handle this."

"Your Majesty, what does this trading company mean?"

Zheng Chenggong looked at Zhu Cilang in confusion.

“Equivalent to the Chamber of Commerce.”

Of course, Zhu Cixuan would not explain this term to Zheng Chenggong in detail, but instead said: "I hope the Zheng family can invest in shares and I will earn 50% of the profits from the Zheng family."

When Zheng Chenggong heard the man who was so crazy, he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Cixuan didn't force him too much, but said in a harmonious voice: "You can write a letter from your family to explain this matter to Zheng Qing. I am waiting for your good news."
