Chapter 11 The foggy situation (I)

The spring rain is so sad.

The night was as dark as ink, and the drizzling spring rain kept falling, greatly alleviating the huge drought in Fujian over the past year. In addition to thanking God, the people were the most powerful Fujian man Zheng Zhilong, who is now the most powerful Fujian man in Fujian. The people worship him like gods, and even in many places, villagers took the initiative to build sanctuaries for him. In the eyes of these people, whoever can bring them a stable and happy life will listen to him. Zheng Zhilong is the court.

In Fuzhou City, the Governor's Office.

"Brother, your decision is too hasty, why don't you discuss it with me!" Zheng Hongkui returned to Fuzhou from Nan'an angrily. He rushed into Zheng Zhilong's Fujian Governor's Office as soon as he got off the horse, and shouted at Zheng Zhilong, who was writing at his desk.

"Third brother, are you here?" Zheng Zhilong looked up at Zheng Hongkui coldly, and responded faintly, without stopping the pen in his hand.

"Brother, I just want to know where my second brother is now?" Zheng Hongkui asked loudly. Zheng Zhihu's fleet inexplicably lost traces from the Bengang of Little Liuqiu, and even his brother was hiding it, obviously had an ulterior motive.

"Third brother, what is your attitude?" Zheng Zhilong said angrily, "The second brother has his freedom. Where has he gone? You can ask him yourself. You ran over and pointed at my nose and asked what is it?"

"Brother!"

"Don't say it, your situation is not suitable for you to return to Nan'an now! The third master is so tired all the way. Take it and cultivate it for a while." Zheng Zhilong no longer looked at Zheng Hongkui and directly ordered.

"Brother, you..." Zheng Hongkui never thought that Zheng Zhilong would put him in house arrest at this time, and he would not think that he would rush back and fall into the trap. The person who put him in house arrest was his own elder brother.

"I will let Zheng Cai replace you in your position, so you can rest for a while." After all, they are brothers. Although they disagree, their blood is thicker than water. Zheng Zhilong has not yet reached the point where his relatives do not recognize him.

The one who took Zheng Hongkui away was Zheng Ding, the head of Zheng Zhilong's personal guard. He was very skilled in martial arts. In addition to Zheng Zhilong, his relatives refused to recognize him. Zheng Hongkui knew that he was not his opponent, not to mention that there was Zheng Zhilong who was far above him. Therefore, he basically gave up any resistance and left Zheng Zhilong's study with deep affection and miserable feelings.

"Master, there has been no news for two days!" After taking Zheng Hongkui away, Zheng Ding returned to the study and stood on the right side of Zheng Zhilong and whispered.

"The second brother is greedy for merit, and I am afraid that he will mislead the matter, so I sent He Bin to follow him." After putting Zheng Hongkui under house arrest, Zheng Zhilong felt a little depressed and was in a bad mood.

"I'm afraid that He Bin won't look down on the Second Master." Zheng Ding said worriedly. If he thought that Zheng Ding was just a rash warrior with developed limbs and simple minds, he would be very wrong. Zheng Ding was not only Zheng Zhilong's personal bodyguard commander, but also Zheng Zhilong's most trusted intelligence leader, but also one of his favorite think tanks.

"You are right. He Bin is talented, but he is a little younger. If it is someone else, there should be no big problem. The second brother is my brother, and his status is second only to me..." Zheng Zhilong nodded and said intermittently.

"Maybe it's because my subordinates are too worried. Although Zhu Youjian built sea ships and abolished the sea ban, it would take only one day to train a maritime brigade who can fight. According to my subordinates, the second master is not very dangerous for this trip. Besides, the master has already placed a chess piece. I believe that even without He Bin, the second master can easily complete the tasks assigned by his master." Zheng Ding said.

"I received news from Wei Zhongxian that the fourth brother had been killed by Zhu Youjian. What do you think?" Zheng Zhilong's face was not a trace of expression when he said this. He was really heartless.

"My subordinates think it is not trustworthy." Zheng Ding didn't think there was anything wrong with Zheng Zhilong's reaction. It is the primary factor for those who do big things, at least that's what he thinks.

"I don't believe it either. Although the fourth brother is lustful, I am a brother, but I know his abilities. It may be possible to win, but I still have the ability to protect myself." Zheng Zhilong said a little reluctantly. Although the fourth brother has a bad relationship with him, he is always a mother. After receiving the news from Wei Zhongxian, he really scared him. However, his psychological quality is far higher than that of ordinary people. He will not believe it easily before he has received the exact news, or has to see people in his life or dies.

"From the subordinates' perspective, this may be Wei Zhongxian's trick. He simply wanted to use a knife to kill people and reap the benefits of the fisherman. After both the master and Zhu Youjian were injured, he took the opportunity to destroy the master and then head north!" Zheng Ding analyzed that in his opinion, Wei Zhongxian, who occupied the wealthy land of Jiangnan, was still very powerful at present. Huguang was just a temporary defeat and had the merit of sneak attack. Qin Liangyu from Sichuan sneered at it. He didn't think Qin Liangyu was so powerful, but the King of Shu was too incompetent. In his eyes, how powerful could an old woman in her seventies be?

"Zhu Youjian is really a child with a yellow mouth. With just 100,000 troops, he tried to fight south. Even if there is the support of the domineering Western Front, it will only have more than 200,000 troops. Wei Zhongxian, at the ministerial level, has at least twice the troops in his hands, as well as the danger of the Yangtze River's natural barrier and strong city defense, occupying the advantage of defending the city. The southern battle is just a joke, hehe." Zheng Zhilong looked down on Zhu Yinglong's battle in the southern battle and sneered repeatedly.

"But isn't this giving the master a chance? The master should thank him." Zheng Ding quickly slapped.

"I heard that after Mu Qiyuan died, Mu Tianbo inherited the title, and he didn't seem to be very at ease?" Zheng Zhilong asked suddenly.

"The Mu family has been guarding Yunnan for generations, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under its command. The chieftains in the southwest rebelled every year, so I'm afraid he can't take care of himself." Zheng Ding hesitated for a moment.

"It's good, but it's good for us. The world is coming, and it's a great opportunity for us to create a foundation without a world! Haha!" Zheng Zhilong clenched his fists and smiled at the sky, feeling unspeakable ambitious.

"I wish to go through fire and water for my master, and my heart will be lost!" Zheng Ding's eyes also showed a hot light, and he knelt down on one knee and said loudly.

"Okay, okay, haha!" Zheng Zhilong felt very happy and reached out to help Zheng Ding up and said, "If one day I, Zheng Zhilong, have the power to win the Central Plains, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

"Thank you, no, thank you, the emperor!" Zheng Ding was one of the people who knew Zheng Zhilong's ambitions best. This "Emperor" really made Zheng Zhilong's heart.

Despite this, Zheng Zhilong pretended to be angry and scolded Zheng Ding a few words, so that he would not call him like this in front of others. Zheng Ding naturally responded in a humble manner.

"Master, if the Second Master succeeds in his trip, Zhejiang will become the master's belonging. In the future, the subordinates should call you the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang." Zheng Ding chuckled.

"Well, thanks to your planning, I have made great contributions to this action. After success, I will reward you very much." Zheng Zhilong was full of confidence and made a promise to Zheng Ding with great reward.

When Zheng Ding heard this, he immediately showed joy and became increasingly loyal to Zheng Zhilong.
