Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 233 Zheng Zhilong

Compared to Qian Qianyi, Chen Fan is more interested in Zheng Zhilong.

Speaking of Zheng Zhilong, one has to talk about his son who has been passed down through the ages, Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong is a well-known national hero.

Zheng Zhilong is an important figure in this era.

In addition to giving birth to an awesome son, Zheng Zhilong himself is also a powerful character.

According to historical records, Zheng Zhilong was the largest pirate in the southeast coast of Taiwan and Japan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the leader of the largest maritime merchant and military group.

What's more, Zheng Zhilong established a navy with the power of the people under the background of the Ming Dynasty's sea ban and the prosperity of the world's sea power in the 17th century, dealing with Eastern and Western forces.

And in the ensuing Naval Battle of Liaoluo Bay on Kinmen Island, Quanzhou, he successfully defeated the western maritime forces and seized the dominance of the sea.

therefore.

For such historical celebrities, Chen Fan is looking forward to talking with them.

"Master, do you want to summon their messenger?"

Seeing Chen Fan in a daze, Steward Wang reminded him.

Chen Fan eagerly said:
"See you, of course."

After all, Qian Qianyi and Zheng Zhilong were well-known figures in history, so Chen Fan still had to give them the name.

Steward Wang understood, and immediately called two servants to call the messenger over.

Soon two young servants ran out to call for someone.

When the envoys sent by Qian Qianyi and the envoys sent by Zheng Zhilong came to visit the National Teacher's Mansion.

Steward Wang received them warmly.

But when Butler Wang learned that they were going to see the Imperial Master, Butler Wang was suddenly in trouble.

The young master has been back for several days, and even Butler Wang doesn't know when the young master will come back.

Where can I give them an accurate answer.

There was no other way, Steward Wang could only let them go back first, and then notify them when Chen Fan came back.

The two messengers were also helpless.

So they stayed in an inn not far from the National Teacher's Mansion.

And in the past few days, I have visited the National Teacher's Mansion every day to see if the National Teacher has returned.

The master behind them, thousands of exhortations, ten thousand exhortations.

Let them hand over the letter to the national teacher with their own hands, and they must not borrow the hands of others.

Such an important task, of course the two messengers dare not make any mistakes.

Originally, Butler Wang planned to have his servants clean up two guest rooms to house the two messengers.

When the young master comes back, he can notify them at any time and let them come to meet the young master.

This is also more convenient.

But after Wang Butler thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

The masters behind these two messengers are all powerful figures with extraordinary means.

They came to the National Teacher's Mansion to deliver the letter, but they still don't know what the letter said!

If it's not a good word, it's going to be against the National Teacher's Office.

Butler Wang also asked them to rest at the National Teacher's Mansion, and spread the word that it was his mistake in work, and where would he save his face.

and so.

Before Butler Wang figured out their reason for coming, let them go to the inn outside to settle down!
Moreover, when Butler Wang asked them why they came, they couldn't answer why.

Now, it is even more impossible for Steward Wang to place them in the National Teacher's Mansion.

I don't even know the purpose of coming here, I guess the person who came here is not good!

On this point, Steward Wang wronged the two messengers.

They are only in charge of sending letters from their masters, so no little lao like them can know the details.

They also didn't have the guts to peek at the letter privately, that would definitely be courting death.

Chen Fan sat on his seat and closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of the two messengers.

It's like less than 10 minute.

The servants of the National Teacher's Mansion hurriedly brought in the two messengers.

As soon as the two messengers entered the room, they quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Get up! Our young master doesn't like others to kowtow to him."

Steward Wang gave a warning without losing the opportunity.

Butler Wang is right. Chen Fan has been in Daming for so long, and he is still not used to others bowing down to him.

The two messengers were surprised when they heard the words.

Unexpectedly, the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty still had such rules, and he didn't like to be bowed down by others.

However, the two messengers didn't think too much about it. Under Steward Wang's suggestion, they stood up respectfully.

Chen Fan looked curiously at the two people below.

After a few glances, Chen Fan smiled, feeling very interesting.

These two messengers didn't need to speak, Chen Fan could tell who the master behind them was.

I saw one of the messengers was dressed as a scholar, wearing a melon skin hat, with a handsome appearance, and he looked like the book boy beside Qian Qianyi.

The other young man has dark skin, which is obviously the result of long-term exposure to the sun. He is probably a sailor.

This dark young man should have been sent by Zheng Zhilong.

really.

The self-introductions of the two quickly confirmed Chen Fan's guess.

The book boy said respectfully:
"The villain is the book boy next to the master, and he is specially ordered by the master to deliver a letter to the master of the country."

After the book boy finished speaking, he took out Qian Qianyi's handwritten letter from his pocket.

gentlemen?

Chen Fan quickly realized that the book boy should be referring to Qian Qianyi.

As soon as the book boy finished speaking, the dark sailor standing beside him quickly took out Zheng Zhilong's letter, not to be outdone.

"Report to Master Guoshi, this is a personal letter from our boss."

Both of them took out the letter and waited for Chen Fan to read it.

Still the same, Steward Wang stepped forward to take the two letters, and checked them carefully to see if there was any poison on them.

Seeing Steward Wang's serious inspection, Chen Fan was speechless and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

In Chen Fan's opinion, Steward Wang's move was too cautious.

With the level of ancient science and technology, where can we make a poison that will kill you if you touch it.

Thinking about the kind of cyanide that kills as soon as it touches it requires a deep study in the field of chemistry.

With the superficial level of chemistry in ancient times, it is far from reaching this level.

Obviously, Steward Wang was overthinking.

but.

Speaking of cyanide, Chen Fan had an idea in his heart.

People in ancient Ming Dynasty didn’t know what cyanide was, but Chen Fan knew!
It is a highly toxic chemical, and if it touches the slightest bit, it will kill immediately, and it is too late to rescue it.

Chen Fan can take advantage of this information asymmetry and use cyanide to poison the enemy to death without anyone noticing.

Just like Huang Taiji, Chen Fan can smear cyanide on the letter paper and have someone send it to Huang Taiji.

At that time, the moment Huang Taiji opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper, he would die of poison immediately.

In this way, the enemy can be easily killed without a single soldier.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan sighed, that traitor was killed early.

Otherwise, Chen Fan could send the letter containing cyanide to the traitor and bring it back to Huang Taiji.

Hey!
Pity!
