Wang pangzi visited Zheng Zhilong as a personal representative of the Liu family and presented these gifts.
Wang pangzi didn't learn any skills. Although he couldn't study well, his memory was excellent. He remembered the gold, silver and jewelry of the five ships clearly. Without taking the gift list, he recited them and talked about them. He talked like a treasure.
Zheng Zhilong was in fact extremely resentful of what the Liu family had done.
Zheng Zhilong holds a supportive attitude towards marrying the Liu family. After all, the other party is an old family. Marriage with the Liu family is a strong alliance. The Zheng family also got a lot of benefits from their marriage with the Liu family. They finally sent their goods to the north and made a lot of money with the help of the Liu family's channels.
Moreover, the operation means of the Liu family in the officialdom also amazed him. He spent so much time and so much thought to get a position in the general army. His brother Zheng Zhibao became the general army in less than a year. In terms of quality, his brother, the general army, is higher than his level in Fujian coastal defense, This made him very jealous. He wanted to take time to learn from the Liu family. Who knew that the Liu family suddenly broke out and suddenly started to fight.
The Liu family suddenly rebelled, but Zheng Zhilong was in a very embarrassing situation.
He Zheng Zhilong had money and power, but he just lacked an official identity. Then he raised troops to accept the recruitment of the imperial court and surrender. It was also a return to his hometown with honor.
It can be regarded as washing away the thief's name, but the Liu family's riding troops embarrassed them again.
Zheng Zhilong had no attitude and position in front of his men, and let his men guess first.
In fact, he had already written to the governor of Fujian asking him to lead the army to attack the Liu family to correct his innocence. However, the governor of Fujian didn't believe his invitation to war at all, but gave him a lukewarm reply and asked him to stay calm.
Zheng Zhilong how smart he is. He immediately knows that the other party just doesn't look at him and suspects him. This makes him hot face and stick a cold ass, which is very uncomfortable.
Although Zheng Zhilong accepted the invitation of the imperial court and became a member of the officers and soldiers, he also tried hard to integrate into this class and enter the upper class society, but these officials didn't look up to him at all.
The other party just regarded him as an old hat. Woodlouse and pirates would never get mixed up with him, nor would they accept him.
These Zheng Zhilong clearly understood, but the more the other party tried to suppress him, the more he had a rebellious psychology. He Zheng Zhilong was a rebellious and unbelieving person. Others prevented him from entering this class. He just wanted to squeeze in by every means to ensure that he had a foothold here.
However, what he couldn't understand was that he clearly had such strong force, was loyal to the court and was willing to send troops to attack the Liu family for the court, but the court just didn't trust him and didn't dare to use him, which made him very injured and helpless.
He blamed all this on his bad background. The court was suspicious of him. When the court was desperate and rushed to hospital, he would put forward conditions when he was used.
That's why he made such a statement. Of course, the imperial court turned a blind eye to his flattery, which made him so. However, with the development of things, Liu Jiajun won day by day, and the imperial court retreated day by day. The Liu family's market rose. Many people under him suggested that the Zheng family set up troops to echo the Liu family from the south. After the success, the north and south stand side by side and divide the world.
Don't mention that Zheng Zhilong is still interested in such suggestions, but he thinks that he finally washed white and went ashore. He has to be a thief again. This time, he has become a thief again and has no way back.
Daming has been able to spread for more than 260 years and has not been destroyed. He has his own uniqueness, but he dare not rebel easily.
At this time, the Liu family sent messengers to send gifts. If the Liu family sent messengers directly, he would probably disappear behind closed doors. He thought that the two sides had different positions and there was nothing to see. He had to show his heart to the court.
Who knows that the other party brought five ships of gifts, and many beauties came, which is different. Who doesn't like the white silver and fragrant beauties, Zheng Zhilong is no exception, so he received the other party's messenger exceptionally.
This time, he had a polite meeting and did not intend to have a deep talk with the other party.
He knew that if the other party sent a small shrimp hair and a small minion, what could be done?
However, the first sentence Wang Wensheng said when he met him was: "my master asked me to tell my Lord that we are heroes in the world. Why don't we stay low and be the running dog of the corrupt officials? Why don't we start the army and divide the world equally?"
The so-called starting of the Zheng family echoes the Liu family. The north and the South echo each other. After the success, they divide the world equally. This is just their wishful thinking. Even Zheng Zhilong thinks that if you think too much, anyone who starts the army will want to monopolize the world and has no intention of sharing the world equally with others.
Now the Liu family has sent envoys to talk to him about this, which means that the other party is sincere to share the world with him.
Zheng Zhilong said: "in those days, Emperor Taizu expelled tartar prisoners, restored China and won the integrity of the country. Since ancient times, the great name has been based on more than 200 years for its own reasons. You unexpectedly overestimated your strength and created the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. If you overestimate your strength, you will be eaten."
Wang Wensheng said disapprovingly, "can the Ming Dynasty be stronger than the Han Empire and the Tang Empire? Where are the former Han Empire and the Tang Empire? There is a saying called the cycle of heaven, the five virtues always, and the Ming Dynasty loses virtue, so the Heroes rise together and compete for the deer in the world. It is a pity that the Zheng family has the power to compete for the deer in the world, but has no heart to compete for the deer in the world."
Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice, "we Zheng family are loyal ministers and good generals. How can we do such rebellious activities?"
Wang Wensheng said, "it's hard to be a loyal and good general of the Ming Dynasty. Lu Xiangsheng is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. What's the result? He was not killed by the imperial court."
Speaking of this, Zheng Zhilong's face also changed. He wanted to be a loyal minister of Daming, but he found that Daming's loyal minister was not good and seemed to come to no good end.
It's embarrassing that everyone claims to be loyal, but their loyalty is no place to die.
Wang Wensheng understands that Zheng Zhilong is a pragmatist and an opportunist. The reason why he wants to be loyal is that loyalty can bring him benefits. If the identity of a traitor can bring him more benefits, he will not hesitate to follow the traitor.
He Zheng Zhilong has earned enough money, so he wants to be famous and rich. He wants to wear some flower hats for himself in order to climb higher and earn more.
But now in the Ming Dynasty, it's hard to hold his thigh. Holding Daming's thigh tightly will come to no good end.
Zheng Zhilong said to him, "you are just fooling the public. You dare to talk nonsense and disturb the morale of our army. If you don't see that the visitor is a guest, you will be pushed out and beheaded."
Wang pangzi smiled and said, "the lower official came here today mainly to give gifts on behalf of the Lord. Why say these unhappy words? My ancestors respected Zheng Gong, so they got some gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful women, and gave them to Zheng Gong."
Zheng Zhilong said to him, "do you think taking these things to bribe someone can make us follow you? It's impossible."
Wang pangzi said: "as a man of Zheng Gong, I'm sure I won't follow our army for these treasures and beauties. But my Lord, I just hope Zheng Gong will sit and watch the tiger fight on the mountain. No matter who wins in the end, he must get your support. He can get benefits in vain without a single soldier. Why not?"
Zheng Zhilong smiled coldly. He said, "it's not easy to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman."
He is also a strong man. Of course, he knows what is the side of the couch. How can he let others sleep soundly? When the overall situation of Daming or Liu family has been determined, a third family will not be allowed to rise.
Therefore, in view of this, he Zheng Zhilong must make a decision early in order to obtain the greatest benefits.
The biggest problem now is that he is optimistic about the imperial court, but the imperial court doesn't take it seriously at all. He knows that Lu Xiangsheng, who is so valued by the imperial court, has come to such an end. Like him, who is not liked by the imperial court, he takes the initiative to help the imperial court. Even if he dies, it's estimated that he won't get any benefit. Zheng Zhilong can't help but secretly scold these damn traitors in the imperial court, You deserve to die.
Wang pangzi thought that the other party was forgetting righteousness at the sight of profit and cherishing his body at the sight of big profit. He didn't dare to bet easily. He said: "my subordinates came to give gifts at the order of the Lord. Now that they have delivered the gifts, it is a complete accomplishment. I've heard that the singer pear garden of the Zheng family in Fujian is famous in Bamin for a long time. Today, I don't know if I'm lucky to see you?"
To be honest, Zheng Zhilong just wanted to see what farts could be released from the other party's mouth when he saw fat Wang. He didn't mean to invite the other party to dinner at all, but the other party took the initiative to ask. The Zheng family can't refuse to give people a bowl of rice, right? I had to order my men to hold a banquet.
After all, Wang pangzi is also a noble after the famous King's family in Jimo, Laizhou. Zheng Zhilong has always wanted to squeeze into the upper class and into the aristocracy, so he still showed a certain courtesy to each other, which led his generals and important advisers to attend the banquet and hold a grand dinner in the main hall of the Zheng family, Welcome this visitor from Shandong.
Zheng Zhilong was not afraid that the officials of the imperial court would know what he was doing. He even had to deliberately pass it on to the officials of the imperial court to make them anxious. Zheng Zhilong always wanted to hook up with the imperial court. However, the other party never bird him. Now he is ready to bet and see if the other party is in a hurry. If the imperial court really doesn't value him at all, he has no choice, Finally, only the Liu family could be selected, so he deliberately gave a big banquet to entertain this envoy from Shandong, hoping that the imperial court would take action after receiving some information.
