Chongzhen Chat Group

This group of people were wearing black flying fish uniforms and looked majestic. They were originally chattering in the restaurant, but when they saw them, they immediately fell into silence.

After just looking around for a while, they went straight to Zheng Zhilong's table. The leader glanced at Zheng Zhilong and asked, "Are you Zheng Zhilong, a Fujian coastal defense guerrilla?"

"It's me!" Zheng Zhilong was very surprised when he heard this. He couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, stood up and replied with a clasped fist.

Zhu Zhu and other guards suddenly became nervous, wondering why Jin Yiwei came to see Zheng Zhilong by name. They stood up one after another and approached Zheng Zhilong to protect him.

The leader of the Jin Yiwei saw them, glanced at them, just smiled coldly, and then looked at Zheng Zhilong and said: "The Emperor has a decree, and Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian coastal defense guerrilla, will come to the palace immediately to see you!"

"Zheng Zhilong accepts the decree!"

After saying that, he didn't care about eating and immediately rushed to the Forbidden City with the Jin Yiwei. But he was a little puzzled. How did Jin Yiwei find him? After all, although my appearance is relatively elegant, I can't recognize him immediately in a crowd, not to mention that I am in the capital with so many people!

Zheng Zhilong really couldn't figure it out, but when he arrived in the Forbidden City, he stopped caring about it, gathered his thoughts, and prepared to face the Holy Spirit!

But for some reason, Zheng Zhilong suddenly felt a little nervous, which surprised him. I have gone through countless storms and waves, and it is not as if high-ranking officials from the Ming Dynasty have never seen them. Let's just say that Xiong Wencan, although he was the governor, I never paid much attention to him from the beginning. He was able to talk and smile when he should, and he was able to do it with ease.

To say that it was because the person he wanted to see was the Ming Emperor, the emperor of the day, Zheng Zhilong didn't think so. Thinking about it more carefully, he finally understood. It is indeed not because he is the emperor, but because all the things this emperor has done are really unexpected, but very powerful.

Zheng Zhilong thought that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to think of this and would not be able to do this. It was because of this knowledge that it was not within my control that I became nervous.

In the Wuying Palace, Zheng Zhilong followed the chamberlain and followed the instructions beforehand. He bowed his head and saluted: "Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla from Fujian Coast Guard, long live our emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zheng Qingping!" A young voice came. Zheng Zhilong felt very steady when he heard it, without the intonation that was unique to his youth.

After thanking him, Zheng Zhilong finally had the chance to look up, and saw a young man sitting on top, who looked like someone in a superior position. Although he was not sitting upright, he could make people feel that he did not dare to underestimate him.

He saw the emperor looking at him, and for some reason, he immediately felt a little nervous.

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally curious about this famous pirate. From the moment Zheng Zhilong entered the palace gate, he was already sizing it up. However, he found that Zheng Zhilong's appearance and temperament were a little different from what he imagined. Zheng Zhilong doesn't feel like a big pirate at all, but more like a businessman.

After Zheng Zhilong's greeting, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "Zheng Qing came from Dengzhou very quickly. If you think about it, Zheng Qing came from the southernmost part of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it very hard?"

"This is what a general should do!" Zheng Zhilong heard the emperor's words and still expressed condolences to himself. He couldn't help but feel relieved and quickly clasped his fists and echoed.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and continued: "The grain transported from Annan has solved Dongjiang's urgent need. I also said that as long as you transport the grain, it will be a great achievement. I remember this." "

Having said this, he nodded to Wang Chengen, the eunuch on duty beside him.

When Wang Chengen saw it, he immediately took a few steps forward, took out the imperial edict he had prepared and said, "Zheng Zhilong takes the edict!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong quickly knelt down to receive the order. He did not expect that this was the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen to fulfill his promise. Not only did he get promoted to the post of General of the Coastal Defense of Fujian, but he also named his son Jinyiwei Baihu and went to the capital to study literature and martial arts. Among them, Xiu Wen was taught by Hanlin in the Imperial College, and Wu went to the Junior Military Academy of the Capital to study.

After Zheng Zhilong accepted the order and thanked him, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "You have been in the army for a long time, so you can't delay your son's future. I specially ordered people to set up civil and military courses, just to give the meritorious ministers peace of mind." Matter. You should send your son to Beijing as soon as possible."

In this feudal dynasty, it is nonsense to talk about fair competition. Emperor Chongzhen put a lot of thought into preparing the children of Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and other meritorious officials to be specially trained so that they could become the pillars of the new generation of the Ming Dynasty. And on the other hand, some people's children studying in the capital are actually hostages in disguise, especially those who hold great power and dominate the sea.

However, Zheng Zhilong did not think of this at the moment. What he thought at this time was that his son had caught the eye of the emperor from such a young age. This meant that as long as he succeeded in his studies, he would definitely become a general or a prime minister in the future. Start working hard from the bottom like yourself!

As for whether his son can learn it, he is still confident. Thinking like this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be very excited. His son's future was finally settled!

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong immediately said excitedly: "The emperor's kindness is so great that I will definitely send Quan Zi to the capital as soon as possible. I will also serve my country with all my heart, and I will have no regrets even if I die!"

Hearing his statement, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled lightly, took over his topic and said, "I don't want my soldiers to die to serve the country. I hope that my soldiers will serve the country and enjoy their old age in peace!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly changed the topic and asked Zheng Zhilong: "Zheng Qing went to Annan, what do you think about Annan?"

Previously, Xu Guangqi had been ordered to leave Annan to inspect Guangxi and continue to promote sweet potatoes and other crops. Before leaving, a clear decision had been made on Annan's matter.

The Li Dynasty in the south was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but it refused to pay tribute in food, and even sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty's Annan capital commander's office. His crime was punishable! He is limited to paying tribute of grain within this year and making a petition to plead guilty, otherwise he will be responsible for the consequences.

The words stayed there, but the promise to send troops was not given to Mo. If they want to fight on the north and south sides, they should fight first. When Ming Dynasty is free, he can use this reason to send troops and occupy the entire Annan Peninsula.

Emperor Chongzhen was actually bound to win the Vietnamese Peninsula in later generations. After Ming Dynasty frees up its hands, it will become the springboard for Ming Dynasty to conquer Nanyang.

As for whether the Li Dynasty in the south will surrender and have no excuses, there is no need to worry at all. If Li Chao really had this intention, he wouldn't have been fighting An Nan to death! Therefore, while Zheng Zhilong was there, Emperor Chongzhen asked about the situation there.

The helmsman's update has been completed. I have to go to the airport to pick up my wife and children after get off work tomorrow. I won't be able to code all night, so there should only be two updates tomorrow. If the additional conditions are met, it will be made up later.
