Zheng Sen's murderous answer surprised his uncles, but they didn't say anything. Zheng Sen continued to speak:

"Of course, it is best to let others do it by teaching these people a lesson, even killing people. You can let bandits do it, you can let the archer do it, or even let them do it by themselves. There are many people in Jiangnan who have business dealings with us, so they can lure them for profit, and then use military armor to intimidate them. You should still not be able to really make a big move. Of course, one of the big problems these people are that they are too greedy, and it is not OK to teach them a lesson."

Zheng Sen often uses some philosophy he learned in his previous life to analyze his career. Obviously, in terms of class attributes, the Zheng family is undoubtedly a big landlord and the emerging bourgeoisie. Zheng Sen did not intend to launch a proletarian revolution in the 15th century, which is not realistic and does not suit Zheng Sen's own interests. Zheng Sen's goal is very clear. He took advantage of this golden age of colonialism to lead a bourgeois revolution and finally establish a global empire of evil capitalism. Zheng Sen believes that the biggest difference between capitalist revolution and proletarian revolution is that capitalist revolution is easier to compromise with the revolutionary object.

After all, capitalists were developed from the landlord class, and this is even more obvious in China. Therefore, Zheng Sen felt that if he wanted to lead everyone on the evil path of capitalism, although some people would oppose it, as long as they can obtain sufficient benefits on this path, more guys are willing to follow. Of course, some guys' excessiveness is something that must be broken when hindering the development of capitalism. For example, the monopoly on the civil service team and financial privileges are all imagined by Zheng Sen, and the evil capitalist empires in the future will not tolerate it.

Zheng Sen knew that the capitalist empires in later generations were bleeding when they embarked on the path of capitalism. Even the so-called British Empire, which had a relatively large feudal remnant, had not had the protection of the country Cromwell and had not cut off Charles I's head without being polite, there would have been no peaceful and bloodless glorious revolution. Therefore, murder is sometimes necessary.

"How long do you think the court can last?" Zheng Zhilong asked suddenly.

Zheng Sen thought for a while and replied: "It should still be able to hold on in the past two years. In the north, although Jianzhu won a great victory in Jinzhou, the end of Jinzhou is a foregone conclusion. However, there are few Tartars and their national strength is actually limited. After such a war, they will have to rest and recuperate. Therefore, the Tartars have absolutely no reason to invade again this year. As for the Central Plains, it depends on how the imperial court uses the Qin army. Now there is still one person in the court who can lead troops to fight. If he can use him, he can still support it for a while. As long as the imperial court does not be too anxious."

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Zhilong said.

"I'm talking about Sun Chuanting, who is now in prison." Zheng Sen replied, "To be fair, Sun Chuanting is pretty good at fighting. Now only the Ganzhou-Shaanxi army can fight and be a little obedient. Now it's probably impossible to rely on them to suppress Li Zicheng and the others, but if it is used for defense, it can still be supported for a while. I just don't know that our emperor can't bear it."

"I have also heard of Sun Chuanting from Master Hong. According to him, Sun Chuanting is indeed a man who can fight. The Qin army was brought out by him." Zheng Zhihu interrupted, "But the Qin army is different from the ones a few years ago. Today's Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are different from before. And I heard that many people in the court don't like him, including the current saint. And the current saint is eager, afraid... "

Zheng Sen knew that the so-called people in the court did not like Sun Chuanting, which refers to Yang Sichang. Although Yang Sichang had left the capital and went outside to supervise the army due to a series of strategic failures, Emperor Chongzhen's trust in him did not decrease much. He was still quite influential in Chongzhen. In the original history, if it weren't for Yang Sichang's death, Sun Chuanting might not have been released from prison and re-appointed.

"Recently, Zhang Tian's letter to the Tathagata talked about the affairs of the court. Zhou Yusheng's re-entering to the cabinet and becoming a prime minister has been foregone conclusion. My family has made a lot of efforts in this matter. So Zhang Tianru gave my family a few places to recommend officials. We can also take this opportunity to let the court re-activate Sun Chuanting. Under the current situation, it will always be beneficial to my family if they can delay more time." Zheng Sen said again.

"Zhou Yusheng re-appointed the minister. After he came to power, if he proposed to start Sun Chuanting, he would be able to do it with his status. However, this recommendation has a lot to do, and it is probably to consume a lot of favors my family has obtained in this matter." Zheng Zhilong said, "Asen just mentioned that my family wants to follow the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and take advantage of the advantages of the waterway, and also needs to arrange some of our people in these positions. Especially in the Jianghuai area, it is particularly important, where we need to arrange a person who can be used."

"This problem should not be big." Zheng Sen said, "Zhang Tianru and Zhou Yusheng know more about my family's financial resources. They also know that now they need money to do things now. Besides, Yang Sichang is not theirs, so they will not block us in this matter. If Jianghuai wants to arrange someone, the child wants to arrange Ma Shiying here. My family already has a military stronghold in Zhenjiang, but there is no one who can be a civil servant, so it is still not easy to operate. Although Ma Shiying may not be very capable, he is a loyal person. If he gets help from us and gets an official, he will definitely be willing to help us. We will have the opportunity to buy land in some key places between Jianghuai and build small bastions. We can rely on it as a support point when fighting in the future."

"You are the only one in my family who is familiar with these things, just let go and do them." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Dad, besides this, there is another thing that requires Dad to have an idea." Zheng Sen said again.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

"I think it's best to station an army on Chongming Island that can respond quickly if something happens. The scale of this army will not be small, but I don't know who should be in charge directly." Zheng Sen replied.

"I'm afraid there are some differences in this army? Let's talk about what kind of team you plan to create, and then we will discuss it." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Dad, I think that in addition to arranging the defenders at some important support points, the most important thing is to have a team that reacts quickly and can quickly enter the battle. I think so. Nowadays, we are not afraid of any of them. Even if we fight in the land, we are not afraid of any enemy. It is just that our army is increasingly dependent on the firepower of artillery. However, when we are moving along the Jianghuai River, it is very troublesome for our army to get on and off the ship. Dad, you know that even if the cannon is light, it is not something that people can move casually. You must have special docks and equipment to get on and off the ship. Once there is something wrong in the south of the Yangtze River, it is convenient for our soldiers to marches on a boat. If our artillery wants to take a boat, we will encounter the inconvenience of getting on and off the boat. So I want to deploy an artillery in Chongming that can get on and off the boat quickly." Zheng Sen replied.

"How do you plan to get them on and off the boat quickly?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

"The artillery factory has a new design." Zheng Sen said, "It can maintain considerable power while greatly reducing the weight of the cannon. It's just that they planned to replace bronze with steel. So this kind of cannon is really expensive. A cannon costs the original number of cannons. And it also requires special ships to provide them. These ships can quickly unload these cannons on a relatively simple beach. However, except for transporting these cannons, these ships have no other purpose. To command this army, we must be very familiar with our infantry, artillery combat methods, and organization of transportation. The people here are all little kids, and they often only know the same thing. To coordinate them, we also need a general who is proficient in these."

Zheng Zhilong heard this and said, "It's actually good for your third uncle to do such a thing. Although your third uncle doesn't know much about infantry and artillery combat now, since there will be no major problems within one or two years, just let him study it seriously. Look at the second brother, you will have a lot of money on how to use the model army to fight - Zhifeng, you were originally the garrison of Zhenjiang, and you happened to do this. After the New Year, when Asen got married, you will follow Asen to learn."

"Brother, no problem." Zheng Zhifeng said.

"Brother, you can actually leave this matter to me." Zheng Zhihu started yelling.

"Uncle II, Jinghai's stronghold is very important. In the past or two years, we will strengthen it as much as possible. With this stronghold, no matter who is under the control of the north in the future, it will be very troublesome to launch a large-scale military force against Jiangnan. However, my family raises horses on Jeju Island. As long as the court can support it for another one or two years, we can train thousands of cavalry on Jeju Island. However, Jeju Island is isolated overseas, and we know nothing about what we do on it, bandits and gangsters. At that time, when their army goes south, the second uncle will have to bring a large group of cavalry, relying on Jinghai's stronghold, and give them all from behind. This is likely a battle that can determine the ownership of the world. So although the north is cold and dry, it is very uncomfortable, it still needs to be a second uncle."

Zheng Zhihu nodded and seemed very satisfied after hearing this, and then he asked again: "Who will take care of Luzon now?"

Zheng Sen was actually angry with Zheng Zhilong, so he replied: "Let A Du take care of this part first. Anyway, the overall situation there has been decided and there will be no recurrence. And the new warship will be built soon. I am about to take the fleet there and take a walk, and I can help my brother by the way."
