Chapter 403 The happy event of the Zheng family asks for the moon

The river surface was covered with floating Qing army corpses and broken wooden board fragments.

Nearly a hundred sunken blessed ships sank into the bottom of the river, and fish pass by, forming a strange scenery.

Zheng Chenggong's navy was neatly docked on the pier outside the city, and Zheng Chenggong himself entered Zhenjiang City surrounded by a group of confidants.

"Father, you are here. I really don't know how long it will last!"

Zheng Jing, who was extremely strong in front of others, no longer concealed his panic when he saw Zheng Chenggong and complained to Zheng Chenggong like a child.

Zheng Chenggong was filled with emotion and did not blame Zheng Jing.

Yes, he is really just a child. This time, Zheng Chenggong was careless and almost transferred 70% of the main force to attack Jiangxi, leaving only 30% of the army for Zheng Jing.

If it weren't for the timely return, it would have almost resulted in a big mistake.

If Zhenjiang is lost, Nanjing will definitely lose.

Then have the efforts over the past year been wasted?

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zheng Chenggong patted Zheng Jing on the shoulder, just like Zheng Jing did when he was a child.

"Let's go in and say."

Zheng Chenggong signaled Zheng Jing to enter the house and said that he had left his left and right, and even his personal soldiers asked them to stay outside the house.

The huge room was empty, only Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing and his son.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Zheng Chenggong asked, "How could Shi Lang suddenly attack Zhenjiang? Didn't he always stay in southern Zhejiang?"

In the battle in Hangzhou, Zheng Chenggong defeated Shi Lang so hard that he could not find him. Shi Lang retreated again and again, and pushed him directly to southern Zhejiang.

Zheng Chenggong felt that even if Shi Lang was attacking, he should attack Hangzhou first. This is the normal way of thinking.

Attacking Zhenjiang? This is simply a big bet.

"I don't know why this is the case. The child only heard that Shi Lang sent to Hangzhou was just a team of partial divisions, with a total of only 10,000 or 20,000 people, which is nothing. At that time, General He sent someone to Nanjing, and the child felt that things were not that simple, so he quickly led his troops to Zhenjiang. Not long after the child arrived, Shi Lang arrived."

Zheng Jing pouted in grievance, making Zheng Chenggong laugh and cry.

That is, when the father and son talked, Zheng Jing dared to do this. Zheng Jing must have acted fearlessly in front of others, just like Zheng Chenggong.

"General He? He saved me again."

Zheng Chenggong naturally admires He Shouyi very much.

This man is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and is very generous and righteous.

Including the time outside Hangzhou, this is the second time he has done good deeds to the Zheng family.

Zheng Chenggong really doesn't know how to repay this love.

"Father, General He is really good. He personally led his troops to guard Hangzhou, and there was no requirement except asking for some firearms from his child."

Zheng Jing said honestly: "Originally, the child thought he would ask for at least some more money as a reward, but the facts proved that the child was narrow-minded."

Zheng Chenggong nodded and sighed: "General He is a man of Gao Yi. When the Ming Dynasty is revived in the future, I must recommend him as a marquis, no, he is a duke!"

Although the Duke of the Ming Dynasty is worthless now, it is also a Duke.

For a person like He Shouyi who is born in a rampant family, it should be considered a glorious ancestor?

"Father, did Shi Lang run away?"

Zheng Jing suddenly remembered something very important and asked quickly.

"Oh, let this dog thief run away!"

Zheng Chenggong shook his head and sighed.

"The dog thief was in his feet. Seeing this, he didn't control the warships and hit me when he hit me, he took advantage of the chaos."

Zheng Chenggong was very helpless. Both sides were lucky ships, and the speed was the same. Even if someone was sent to catch up, the possibility of catching up was very low.

In addition, it was going downstream, Shi Lang might have run away in a flash.

"Well, that's a real pity."

Zheng Jing was also thinking about what to do if Shi Lang was captured, Lingchi? Light the sky lantern? Or something else...

"This dog thief, I will definitely catch him."

Zheng Chenggong clenched his fists and said confidently.

"By the way, I almost forgot something big."

Zheng Chenggong took off his anger and said happily: "Your Majesty wants to give you a marriage, and his partner is Li Haiyue, the legitimate daughter of King Jin. This is a great joy, so that I and King Jin can be as good as Qin and Jin."

Zheng Jing was completely unprepared and was really shocked by Zheng Chenggong's words.

"Father, Your Majesty wants to give a marriage? Why didn't you hear any news before?"

Zheng Chenggong patted Zheng Jing on the shoulder and said, "What a fool. Your Majesty is the emperor. How can the emperor's mind be so conjectured by my ministers? However, I think Your Majesty wants to make the relationship between me and King Jin better. After all, I am both ministers of the Pillars of the Ming Dynasty. Only when I have a good relationship with King Jin can your Majesty feel at ease."

Zheng Chenggong actually didn't understand why His Majesty wanted to marry the daughter of King Jin to Zheng Jing at first. Although His Majesty has no princess, it is not difficult to pick a princess from other royal families.

Although the princess of King Jin is also a princess, his surname is not Zhu after all, so he always feels something strange.

But after he thought about it carefully, perhaps because His Majesty felt that the gap between him and Li Dingguo was a bit deep and there was some suspicion between each other.

Since Your Majesty has decided to move the capital to Nanjing, it is equivalent to leaving Bashu, Yunnan, a place where Nanming started its business.

And this is exactly the territory of Li Dingguo.

Although Li Dingguo could not object to the emperor's will, he felt a little uncomfortable, especially because Nanjing was defeated by Zheng Chenggong. This feeling of discomfort would be magnified.

The emperor pointed out that Zheng Jing and Li Haiyue were to repair the relationship between them.

Of course, the emperor also knew that with Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, it was impossible to wear a pair of pants.

This is true even if Zheng Jing married Li Haiyue.

This is undoubtedly the most perfect result for the emperor.

There are stakeholders and conflicts between Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong. The best way is to be unrelated.

"cocoa..."

Zheng Jing was obviously a little depressed and couldn't even speak.

Seeing Zheng Jing's appearance, Zheng Chenggong said funny: "Why, you still have to resist the order and refuse to obey it?"

"The boy dares not. It's just the boy..."

"My son has a sweetheart? That's not a big deal. The princesses must be the wife. You can marry a few concubines."

Zheng Chenggong has already planned all for Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing is not old or young at this age.

Zheng Chenggong is now thirty-six, and Zheng Jing is also twenty-something. It’s time to get married and regain your heart.

Not to mention anything else, Zheng Chenggong is in a hurry to hold his grandson.

Someone should inherit the Zheng family’s huge family business.

"What are you saying, Father, where do you have any sweethearts?"

Zheng Chenggong smiled and stroked his beard and said, "If not, my son wouldn't have to worry even more."

He paused and said, "I have agreed to you. When His Majesty and King Jin come to Nanjing, they will arrange the details of the marriage in detail."
