In Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province, Ding Kuichu opened the city. The moment when Xia Wanchun entered the city, Zheng Zhilong understood that he had been fooled.

The drunkard's intention was not to drink, the Ming army's goal was Zhaoqing, not Guangzhou.

Zheng Zhilong didn't believe it. Hou Xuan will live in peace with him and will continue to tolerate himself to be the King of Fujian.

In a few years, Hou Xuan's strength will become stronger and stronger, and he will become a fish on the board.

Zheng Zhilong is different from Ding Kuichu, and he will never believe that Hou Xuanyan will treat him well. So no one in the Zheng family thought of surrendering from the beginning.

The two sides had too deep resentment. Starting from Zheng Zhilong's intake of Li Chengdong, they were told that the thrilling welcome in Fuzhou and the competition for Japan's trade routes.

The weather in Guangzhou Prefecture is already hot and hot. Zheng Zhilong puts his upper arms in half naked. His years of life at sea have turned his skin into bronze. At the age of strong body, Zheng Zhilong's upper arms muscles are like coils, not like the pampered Duke of Pingguo, but a strong man.

Zheng Zhilong's brothers led troops to guard one side, and only his sons Zheng Sen and Zheng Du were in front of him. Zheng Sen was once called Zhu Chenggong. Since Emperor Longwu died, Hou Xuanyan established the young emperor ascended the throne, and Zheng Sen changed his real name back to his real name.

Zheng Du's brocade and jade belt were different from his father and brother's short dress. It was a good silk shirt, worth hundreds of taels of silver. He held a jade bone fan in his hand and said while shaking it: "That bastard Ding Kuichu, after eating the courage of the bear heart and leopard, dared to surrender to Hou Xuanyan. Hey, now he has been taken to Jinling and live a life like a pig or cow, and he will be slaughtered at any time. Unfortunately, such a good place in Guangdong and Guangxi fell into the hands of the surname Hou for nothing."

Zheng Zhilong slapped the table with a palm and said angrily: "Ding Kuichu is stupid, and he is not willing to die, but he has harmed us. Originally, both sides of us were restraining each other and relying on each other. When the little monkey hit me, he was afraid that Yongli would move him, and when he hit Yongli, he was afraid that we would interfere. Now, Ding Kuichu gave his territory and life to his side, and we became lonely people." His palm power was strong, which made the old Huanghuali wood table buzz. The ripples of tea on the table lasted for a long time, and it can also be seen that Zheng Zhilong's heart is now angry.

When Zheng Du heard this, he had an idea in his mind. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his father say in a deep voice: "Sen'er, what do you think?"

Zheng Du felt a little jealous, and his father really took a fancy to his elder brother more. Although Zheng Zhilong was a pirate, he did not want his son to be the same as him. After he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he sent Zheng Sen to Nanjing Imperial College for study. He hired well-known teachers and asked Zheng Sen to become a teacher. Qian Qianyi was not a notorious traitor at that time. At that time, he was known as the leader of the literary world and had a high reputation. Zheng Sen studied under Qian Qianyi and learned a lot of knowledge. He was considered one of the Zheng family's Wen Yunwu. Zheng Zhilong also always valued this son, not only let him lead the army alone, but also had a great say.

In later generations, Zheng Senn could still have another name, called Zheng Chenggong, but he had never used this name himself. He had called Zheng Sen, Zhu Chenggong, and even had a Japanese name, Fukushin Takawa, but he had never called Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Sen looks different from his father Zheng Zhilong. Because his mother is Japanese, Zheng Sen did not inherit Zheng Zhilong's burly height. Zheng Sen is quite elegant, with small eyes and thin eyebrows, and looks very different from his brothers. He had met Xia Wanchun. At that time, the commander of the Fengzi camp outside Yanping Mansion, who had distinct armor and a strong fighting spirit, left a deep impression on him. I heard that Xia Wanchun from Zhaoqing Mansion brought an army of 100,000 this time, which was incomparable to the last five thousand.

"Father, if we fight hard, we may not be the opponent of the Hunan soldiers. Our main force is the navy, and it is difficult to stop Hou Xuan from playing hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the ground. Moreover, our home court is Fujian, and in Guangdong, we are alone and we are easily defeated by the imperial soldiers."

Zheng Du finally couldn't help it and interrupted, "Dad, I think what the eldest brother said is wrong. Why don't we have any helpers? My son is not as good as the eldest brother, but he still understands the principle of getting along with the far and near. The group of braided soldiers in the north are irreconcilable enemies with Hou Xuanyan, and they have a relationship with him. As the saying goes in the countryside, everyone knows that the enemy's enemies are friends, and we have no absolute hatred with anyone. At best, it is just a dispute over interests. Why not make an appointment with the Qing soldiers and attack Hou Xuanyan together!"

Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up and he laughed: "You guy is enlightened, this idea is good!"

Zheng Du smiled proudly, cast a provocative look at Zheng Sen, and said, "Although my son has not gone to Jiangnan to study and is not as good as the eldest brother in terms of knowledge, he has learned a little bit of fur after being with his father."

Zheng Zhilong laughed loudly, not caring about the open and secret struggle between his two sons.

Zheng Sen frowned and said, "We are Han people, how can we form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty? In that case, our Zheng family will become the target of public criticism? If the righteousness is lost, people in the world will regard us as subordinates of Jiannu, how can the Zheng family gain a foothold?"

He was indeed out of national justice, but in Zheng Du's opinion, this was the trick of the elder brother forcibly denying himself in order to compete for favor. Zheng Du immediately turned his back and said, "Brother, if we become Ding Kuichu's virtue and the whole family was caught by a monkey in Jinling, what's the use of this righteousness?"

Zheng Sen was speechless. This was the Zheng family's courtyard, where the Zheng family's interests were the greatest. He had no way to argue with his father and brothers. Everything he had given was given by the Zheng family. It was a fool's behavior to persuade a group of pirates for the sake of the Ming and Han dynasties.

Seeing that the eldest brother didn't speak, Zheng Du felt happy. He asked about his own strategy and talent, and even with his appearance, he was more like Zheng Zhilong. Just because the Japanese slave woman had been born a few years ago, he climbed up to him and would inherit the power of the Zheng family in the future, Zheng Du was dissatisfied.

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "The second brother said it well. What is the fucking Ming and Qing dynasties. As long as I am the king of Fujian, our Zheng family will enjoy endless wealth and glory. What are the abilities of the chieftains in the west? In terms of territory and military strength, it is not as good as our fingers. It is not that the local emperors who have been a thousand years old. I have little appetite, so I have to be the two territories of Guangdong and Fujian. Which court is willing to give me these two territories, I am a loyal minister of the court. Hum, now it seems that the monkey will definitely not give it to it. This kid is too ugly to eat. He has started to take action on the chieftains who have not moved for a thousand years."
