Chapter 215

Anping town is located in Fuxia transportation hub, a thoroughfare of sea and land. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Anping port was connected with merchant ships all over the world, with developed shipping and prosperous sea market. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Anping began to build an earth city and began to take shape as a city street. So far, Anping "straight street" has gradually become a scale, with more than 4000 stores. Anping's commerce and trade are prosperous and its economy is developed.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong, a maritime hero, chose this natural harbor in the Fujian sea and an important land town in the South China Sea as his main military and commercial base. Zheng Zhilong opened his mansion in Anping, crisscrossing the sea, competing for control of the sea. He can attack and defend when he enters, and make every effort to occupy land.

In the spring of the third year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong built a luxury mansion in Anping Town, which lasted three years before it came to an end. Anping became Zheng Zhilong's military stronghold and maritime trade base, which was called Anping City by locals.

The Zheng family's recruitment is very popular with the local people. Zheng Zhilong, the sea overlord, is in charge here. Which God Mao dares to invade Fujian? The Zheng family is regarded as the great wall of Bamin by the local people.

The marriage of Zheng Zhibao is also one of the most grand events since the construction of Anping City. Of course, it is one of the events of their Zheng family.

The patriarch Zheng Zhilong attached great importance to it. He ordered Anping City to put on lanterns and decorations, and warmly welcomed the Liu family wedding team from Shandong.

Liu Bu and her family went south in five warships. After arriving in Quanzhou, Zheng zining and her family set out first and went home first. Besides, she spent most of her time in the North sticking to Liu Bu and enjoying the life of love, but it was an announcement to plan an attack on Lushunkou.

They now have the strength to attack Lushun Port, but attacking this place affects the whole body, not just fighting.

Just as they swept the coast of the four guards in southern Liaoning last time, if they had a huge army as a cover, they could take advantage of the situation to take down all the four guards in southern Liaoning. At present, the strength of the Liu family is not suitable to compete with JianNu.

If they forcibly attack down, maybe this place will become their Liu Zheng family's meat roasting machine, which will stir up the strength of their Zheng and Liu family. Therefore, when there is no way, they can only sweep away each other's maritime power first and gradually weaken each other.

Even at that time, it was a pity for Liu bu that if they had a huge army strength and took the opportunity to attack the four in southern Liaoning, they could greatly contain JianNu.

Their current situation is that even if they can contain most of the strength of JianNu and defeat them, it will not be of any practical benefit to their Liu family.

Although the Liu family has a relatively strong strength, the Liu family is no longer a problem for the Liu family to have enough to eat, but a problem for countless people to have enough to eat. If they don't want to do well and plan this thing, it will be cheaper in the end. No one is sure.

And at this point, it doesn't mean that if you want to do something, it will be beneficial to you. Let's make an analogy. Even if the Liu family go all out to the north and win the four guards in southern Liaoning, it will not be them who will eventually make a profit.

The worst consequence is that after so many people have died and paid so much, they have become stepping stones to others' success, and they are victims, so they must plan before moving. There are countless examples in these aspects, so they are very careful.

Zheng Fu, the housekeeper of the Zheng family, welcomed them in Anping port.

Now, although Zheng Zhibao, the Third Master of the Zheng family, is marrying a daughter, Zheng Zhilong believes that this is a rare event for their Zheng family and a great day to marry the Liu family, a powerful family in the north, so he ordered a grand ceremony to be held. Just like the main house married a woman, he personally presided over the wedding.

Liu Bu and his entourage arrived at the Anping City of the Zheng family.

Zheng's residence is located to the north of Anping bridge, from Xidai to Xigang in the west, to xilongtou in the north, to Anping bridge in the south, and directly to Wugang port, which is larger than Liu's Linqing mansion and Fushan old mansion combined.

As soon as Liu Bu saw such momentum and style, he knew that it was almost equivalent to a small city, like a large community, but the community lived in the people of his Zheng family.

Last year, Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch East India company fleet in the coastal battle of Jinmen. All ships sailing at sea in the east of the malaixia Strait must pay taxes to them, otherwise they will not be able to get along.

The Zheng family has also become one of the most powerful local families. Even the epitaph of Jue Feng, the 13th generation ancestor of the Zheng family in Anping, was written by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides. Hong Chengchou explained in his epitaph: "Zheng came to Fujian and first lived in the Fengting of Xianyou, moved to the hometown of scaling. The original Fengting bridge garbage still exists today. The name of Yan's ancestor Daogong is passed down to Jue. Guozhaisheng's posthumous posthumous title is Hou Yasheng's thought".

The Zheng family has changed from a merchant to an officer and army, and now it is a family with two generals.

Zheng Zhilong is also very welcome for Zheng Zhibao to work in the north, which means that the forces of their Zheng family have jumped out of Fujian and extended to the north.

He knew that the North was the main battlefield in the world, and it was also the place that the emperor and the imperial court valued. If they could have a foothold here in the north, they could join the situation of hegemony in the world.

The Liu family is an aristocratic family in Shandong. It has a deep foundation in officialdom. Let's see that Liu Yuanqiao's recent series of operations have easily completed the transformation. They can make such a rapid transformation, which is also related to the Liu family's deep foundation. If they had such a deep foundation and people spoke for them in many links, how could he easily complete the transformation?

And look at Liu Yuanqiao's means of operating Zheng Zhibao as the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, that is, Zheng Zhilong can't do it.

You should know that Zheng Zhilong's official title is the chief of coastal defense. His military strength is frightening. Not to mention the navy of Daming, it is the strongest in the East.

However, his officials are relatively small, mainly because the Ming Dynasty does not pay attention to the rights and interests of the sea. Even the navy is attached to the local officials and troops. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong also knows that if he wants to be able to mix in the Ming Dynasty, he must extend their power to the land, and there must be someone in the court.

The Liu family is a good candidate to introduce them to the upper class society of the Ming Dynasty.

The Zheng family has gained a firm foothold from the sea to the land, but they have no contacts in the imperial court. They can curry favor with Hong Chengchou because they are fellow townsmen.

But Hong Chengchou, who is now the governor of the three sides, doesn't pay much attention to this fellow who was born as a pirate. He just values each other's money and ice respect.

For example, Zheng Zhilong wanted to marry the Hong family very much at the beginning. The Zheng family also had many children who could marry the Hong family, but they were directly rejected by the other party. The other party said that they were farming and reading heirs and would only marry with the family of poetry and books. To put it bluntly, they despised them who were born in business and born as pirates.

In this way, Zheng Zhilong was very ashamed and lost face, so he always asked someone to teach his son to read, hoping that he could take the road of the imperial examination.

As a marine born Zheng Zhilong, he only respects one kind of people, that is, people with strength. As a generation of owls, his eyes and ideas are relatively simple, that is, those with strength can be respected by him, and those without strength will be ignored.

If it was the Liu family in the past, Zheng Zhilong really looked down on the Liu family, mainly because his brother was very persistent to the Liu family, but for him, the Liu family had money, didn't the Zheng family have it?

However, with the recent fierce operation of Liu Yuanqiao, Zheng Zhilong was shocked. He lamented that the Liu family is indeed an old family with deep foundation. The relationship and operation ability of the Zheng family in the DPRK and China are not comparable to them. What the Zheng family has is money, but the relationship between the DPRK and China and the operation of these officials are far inferior to the Liu family, He is very envious.

Originally, this was just the marriage of the three rooms of the Zheng family, but now he is directly run by their eldest room, which has raised the standard of these things.

When Liu Bu and them arrived at the gate of Anping City, several major figures of the Zheng family came to welcome them. The main ones were Zheng Zhilong brothers and other core figures of the Zheng family, as well as his confidant generals.

Seeing these big people welcome here, he was very happy. He quickly knelt down and saluted several elders.

Zheng Zhibao introduced Liu bu one by one. This is Zheng Zhilong, the current patriarch of the Zheng family.

Zheng Zhizhi is very tall and strong. He walks like a tiger and a dragon.

Zheng Zhilong is looking at Zheng Zhilong. Liu Bu is also looking at Zheng Zhilong. He is a famous pirate leader in the world. He only thinks that the other person is like his name. He is a very powerful person, especially when his eyes are like YingMou. When staring at you, he has a feeling of seeing through.

Zheng Zhilong looked at Liu Bu, finally nodded and said, "what a young man. He can match zining girl."

Liu Bu is now a five grade general of Wu De and the garrison commander of Jimo camp. After more than half a year of military training, he is no longer the miserable young man who was drained by wine and lust, but a promising young man who looks tall and tough, especially his coquettish top scholar suit for welcoming relatives, which is particularly handsome.

You should know that the red bridegroom's robe he wore today was very tacky and intolerable, but the left and right told him that it was the dress of the No. 1 scholar. It was the dress he wore when the No. 1 scholar of the new science entered the University. It was the most glorious dress. People can only wear it when they get married. If they don't get married, it's still beyond the limit.

Today's law still attaches great importance to marriage. For example, on the day of marriage, men can walk around in the clothes of the No. 1 scholar to show their glory. Women sit in eight sedans and put on fengguanxia phi. You should know that fengguanxia Phi can only be worn by the queen. If people dare to mess around, they may be prosecuted for a great crime of disrespect.
