In Zheng Zhilong's original plan, he was prepared to see the strength of other naval forces in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, his mortal enemy is in the Denglai Navy, so he is even more concerned.

After the fleet slowly approached the port of Dengzhou, Zheng Zhilong and others discovered that there were only a few warships parked at the port. There was no response when such a large fleet approached the port, which surprised them all. .

"Brother, where is the Denglai Navy?" Zheng Zhihu asked in confusion, "It's not just a few broken bows, is it?"

Zheng Zhilong frowned and said with a little uncertainty: "Maybe he went to Dongjiang, where there is a war!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zheng Zhiyuan's mouth, and she said with a bit of disdain: "Brother, judging from the reaction to us at this port, Denglai Navy is no good!"

If this were the Zheng family's port in Fujian, even if the navy went out, the port would still be on guard. If any fleet appears on the sea, a warning will be given in advance.

Hearing what he said, Zheng Zhihu nodded in agreement and said loudly: "Brother, that's all, I'm afraid of Li Kuiqi! ​​The Ming Dynasty navy, only my Zheng family is the best, who dares to disobey!"

This time, Zheng Zhilong did not reprimand him, but just turned his head to look at the two of them, and then turned back, thinking in his heart, with the military equipment of the imperial court, if he really dared to come to seize food from the tiger's mouth, he would be exposed no matter what. Showing your fangs? Even if we cannot prevent the imperial court from imposing a sea ban, we must minimize the impact. The southeast coast of Ming Dynasty must be decided by oneself!

With this thought in mind, the fleet has already entered the port. It was only then that someone from the shore came up to ask about the situation.

Zheng Zhilong had nothing to say about dealing with people. He came forward in person and immediately explained that this was a fleet sent to Dongjiang to transport food, and now it needed to be replenished in Dengzhou.

When the man heard that this was a fleet transporting grain, his face suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed loudly and said, "It's so good of you to come. Mr. Zhongcheng has been thinking about it for a long time. There was an order before that Zheng Youyi was coming. Yes, go to the governor’s Yamen immediately!”

Hearing that Zhongcheng valued them so much, Zheng Zhihu and others couldn't help but feel proud. They raised their heads, as if they didn't take these northerners seriously.

Zheng Zhilong still maintained his previous attitude, but asked curiously: "Master Zhongcheng is back? Is the war in Liaodong going well?"

Even Zheng Zhilong, who was in Fujian, had heard of the reputation of Liaodong Jianlu. It's just that one is king on land and he is fighting for hegemony at sea, so he doesn't care too much. In his opinion, the war in Liaodong would be very uncertain. After all, if the Jianlu were not powerful, would Liaodong still be occupied by them? But Lu Xiangsheng had come back, which surprised him.

"Of course I'm back. After the great victory in Liaodong, the emperor named the cavalry army led by Zhongcheng a hussar camp!" The man said proudly. At the same time, his head was held high. It seemed that Lu Xiangsheng's honor was his own. The honor is average.

"A great victory in Liaodong?" Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but interjected, "You killed a few captives. Do you have any heads?"

He had heard before that there were no great victories in Liaodong, but in the end there was not a single head. What a big joke! Therefore, there was a hint of disdain and contempt in his words.

Zheng Zhilong saw that the man's face changed after hearing this, and he seemed a little angry. He immediately turned his head and scolded Zheng Zhihu: "What are you talking about! Master Zhongcheng has returned from a great victory and must have killed many enemies. Do you still want to ask?"

Although he was reprimanding, he actually had no intention of reprimanding at all. Because he knew that his younger brother was extremely brave and always led the charge in battles at sea. The most disdainful thing was for those who pretended to have military merit. If nothing else, the head is the most real thing. If it doesn't exist, it's really hard to say whether it's a great victory or not. He himself agrees with this.

But the man didn't know the meaning of Zheng Zhilong's words. He thought that Zheng Zhilong really thought so. He immediately became happy, nodded and said: "Zhongcheng brought two heads from Liaodong this time and presented them to the emperor..."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhiwan glanced at each other, and both saw the mockery in each other's eyes.

"One head is Aisin Gioro Babu Tai, and the other head is Aisin Gioro Ba Bu Hai!" The man introduced with a proud tone, "Both of these two Jianluo are dead. The son of the slave chief Nurhachi, and now the younger brother of the slave chief Aixinjueluo Huang Taiji!"

Hearing this, the three brothers of the Zheng family couldn't help but be surprised. They knew that the weight of these two heads was definitely heavy enough, and they didn't know how much they could hold up to ordinary heads! This really surprised them, and also made them realize that the Liaodong War might have been a great victory!

Zheng Zhilong immediately put away his contempt from his heart and immediately asked about the details of the battle. The man was quite honest. While arranging supplies for them, he talked endlessly about the events of the Liaodong War.

Zheng Zhilong and others are people who have experienced battles for a long time, so naturally they are not comparable to ordinary people. The brothers immediately understood how much damage Lu Zhongcheng's raid on Liaodong had brought to Jianlu! At this moment, Governor Denglai's bravery suddenly refreshed their understanding, and they put away their initial contempt.

After Zheng Zhilong heard this, he did not dare to neglect. He immediately packed up and prepared to go to see Governor Denglai immediately. Zheng Zhiyuan, as planned, left the fleet and went to the capital to take charge of his eldest brother.

After leaving the port, passing the city gate, and just entering the city, Zheng Zhilong found a large group of people near the city gate looking at the notice with joy. He vaguely heard words such as "big victory...big victory", and couldn't help but be a little curious about what was given to him. The man who led the way said: "Lu Zhongcheng's great victory really inspired the hearts of my Ming Dynasty!"

When the man heard this, he turned around and took a look, then walked away and said with a smile: "No, no! The great victory they are talking about is the great victory on the grassland that has just been announced to the world!"

"What kind of victory on the grassland?" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be curious again. He felt that he seemed to have missed a lot of things during his time at sea.

After hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment. He looked back and remembered that Zheng Zhilong came from the sea, and replied with relief: "The governor of Yansui wiped out more than 40,000 people under Lin Danhan in the grassland. Now Guihua City has become Guihua Prefecture. Does Hetao know where the mansion is? It also belongs to Ming Dynasty!"

"Huh?" Even though Zheng Zhilong's palace was very deep, he couldn't help but shout in surprise when he heard this. He knew that fighting on the grassland was like fighting on the sea. Unless both sides fought to the death, it would be difficult to completely annihilate the other side. To be honest, if he fights at sea, he may block the opponent's lair and carry out total annihilation. But on the grassland, there is no nest to block!

Listening to the imperial court's great victory one after another, for some reason, Zheng Zhilong felt his heart so heavy that he didn't even know how he got to the gate of the governor's office.
