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

Chapter 236 Zheng Zhilong's Sincerity
After so many years of accumulation, Zheng Zhilong's wealth is at least tens of millions of taels!
Although it can't compare with Chen Fan's wealth.

These tens of millions of taels of silver were also a huge amount of wealth for Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Chen Fan was planning to build up Daming on a large scale, and it was time to spend money.

If at this time, Zheng Zhilong can surrender to Chen Fan with all his wealth.

That would be perfect.

It could be said that Chen Fan would give Zheng Zhilong a bit of drama and let him show his face because of his knowledge of current affairs.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help getting excited with the hand holding Zheng Zhilong's letter.

"Respected Master of Ming Dynasty, hello, I am Zheng Zhilong. Presumably the Master of the Ming Dynasty may not have heard of me, but when it comes to my son, the Master of the State must have heard of it. That's right, my son is a nation with a long history Great hero, Zheng Chenggong. I am Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong."

"Here, please allow me to introduce myself to the national teacher."

"At present, I hold a huge military force, including Han Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Austronesians, African blacks and other peoples of up to 20 people. Is it awesome? This is all because of my own strength. The ability to play out bit by bit, but there is no falsehood."

"At the same time, I also own a fleet of more than 3000 large and small ships. Along the southeast coast, I am the absolute master of the sea."

"And I have also monopolized the entire trade between Daming and overseas. Without my consent, any goods of Daming would never be sold overseas. The profits I earn are tens of millions of taels every year. Through these years of monopolizing trade, the wealth I have accumulated As high as 5000 million taels, let’s just say it’s awesome!”

"Of course, I dare not compare this amount of wealth with the national teacher."

"After learning about the heroic deeds of the national teacher, I fell in love with the five bodies of the national teacher's admiration. Only the national teacher has such a great talent and boldness. He is determined to let every ordinary person in Ming Dynasty live a life without worrying about food and clothing."

"If I can't follow such a national teacher who cares about the world, let alone my son Zheng Chenggong, even I can't forgive myself."

"So, I have already decided that I will take all my wealth and 20 troops and join the National Division."

"If the national teacher agrees, I will immediately bring 5000 million taels of silver to the capital and dedicate it to the national teacher to express my sincerity."

"I also ask the national teacher to keep some of my roles for the sake of my surrender. Originally, I didn't have as many roles as my son Zheng Chenggong. He is a historical celebrity and a national hero. As a father, I can't say much. What's the matter. But the national teacher, you want to delete all my scenes, which is a bit unreasonable, a bit too bullying. No matter how I say it, I am also Zheng Chenggong's father, and I ask the national teacher to see it for the sake of the national hero Zheng Chenggong. I'll keep a little part of the show, even if it's just for me to show my face!"

After Chen Fan read Zheng Zhilong's letter, he was emotional for a long time.

Zheng Zhilong, who understands righteousness, is what he needs.

With such sincerity to join him with all his wealth, how could Chen Fan say no.

However, to be honest, Chen Fan didn't believe Zheng Zhilong's 20 troops at all.

It is already very powerful to have a combat force of 5.

Chen Fan discovered that the ancients had a very bad habit, they liked to cheat and lie about their military strength.

For example, last time Li Zicheng claimed that 30 troops attacked the city.

After Chen Fan understood the situation, he taunted him fiercely. It would be great if Li Zicheng had tens of thousands of combat troops.

Most of them are weak and hungry people who have no combat power, and they are completely cannon fodder.

In this way, Li Zicheng dared to call 30 troops.

and so.

Chen Fan guessed that most of Zheng Zhilong's 20 troops are logistics support personnel who have no combat power.

However, [-] combat sailors are not bad, and the foundation of the South China Sea Fleet that Chen Fan will form in the future is also established.

That's right.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong knew the general situation and was willing to sacrifice all his wealth, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet was Zheng Zhilong.

As for the 3000 large and small ships that Zheng Zhilong mentioned, Chen Fan didn't think much of them.

Chen Fan also knew about some ships of this era, all of which were made of wood.

From Chen Fan's point of view, Zheng Zhilong's 3000 broken ships would not be appreciated.

Chen Fan can show Zheng Zhilong what a steel fleet is.

With all of Zheng Zhilong's net worth, Chen Fan only had eyes for the 5000 sailors and [-] million taels of silver.

Fifty thousand sailors are the basis for Chen Fan to form the South China Sea Fleet.

And 5000 million taels of silver came even more in time.

In order to speed up the development of the plot, Chen Fan was planning to do a lot of city construction, and the money came at the right time.

Zheng Zhilong has done this in surrendering, and Chen Fan will satisfy some of his small demands.

Isn't it just to increase the role?

no problem.

The role must be added!
Even if some main plots are deleted, Zheng Zhilong's plots must be included.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan had to complain about Qian Qianyi.

Look at Zheng Zhilong, who surrendered with all his wealth.

What about you?

Bring all the sour Confucian literati who are over fifty years old in Jiangnan to surrender.

This is the gap.

It is still a businessman's atmosphere, and the name certificate is directly 5000 million taels.

Look at your Jiangnan gentry group, they are just some old Confucian scholars who are half buried in the soil.

Chen Fan wondered if Qian Qianyi brought these old men to his pension.

The more Chen Fan thought about it, the more likely it was.

For these treacherous old men, it is false to surrender, but it is true that they plan to rely on him.

They are preparing for the rhythm of Chen Fan's retirement!

When Chen Fan thought of this possibility, he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

After Chen Fan read the two letters, he looked at the messenger with a flat expression and said:

"I have already read the letter, and I understand the situation. I will write a reply letter to you and take it back. Be sure to hand it over to your master."

Hearing this, Steward Wang hurriedly asked his servants to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Chen Fan swished and quickly wrote the two reply letters.

Among them, the reply letter to Qian Qianyi was very concise, telling them to continue to wait for Chen Fan's notification.

If there is a chance to play, Chen Fan will carefully consider their surrender.

And Chen Fan's reply letter to Zheng Zhilong was much richer.

There are hundreds of words in the eloquence, which is almost as long as the number of words in a Chinese composition.

The main content of the reply was that Chen Fan accepted Zheng Zhilong's surrender with all his wealth.

And after letting Zheng Zhilong handle the matter at hand, he quickly brought his confidants to the capital.

Chen Fan has important things to entrust to them.

Of course, when you come to the capital, you must also bring 5000 million taels of silver.

Moreover, Chen Fan also promised Zheng Zhilong that he would leave some scenes for him, so he didn't have to worry.

After Chen Fan finished writing, he checked it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he asked his servants to seal it with wax and handed it over to the two messengers.

After the messenger carefully received Chen Fan's reply, he immediately took his leave respectfully.

They must hasten the reply to their master.
