The young man who entered the wing had an unusual temperament. Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others who followed him had their heads lowered and looked submissive.

Zheng Zhilong, with red eyes, looked at the young man and wanted to jump up and pounce on him immediately.

This is the Fujian General Military Mansion. It used to be his exclusive place, Zheng Zhilong. Unfortunately, everything changed overnight. The General Military Mansion was controlled by the troops that entered the city. The sergeants stationed at the General Military Mansion either died in battle or were captured.

Zheng Zhilong had no chance to resist, let alone escape. Last night, he sent his soldiers to contact Gao Jie, thinking of using money to force Gao Jie to make changes. Unexpectedly, the sergeants who entered the city were unusually strong, less than half

In a matter of hours, the General Military Mansion Yamen was completely captured.

When the General Military Mansion was completely captured, Zheng Zhilong had already begun to suspect that this was not a sergeant under Gao Jie's command.

"You, who are you? I want to see Gao Jie. Where has Gao Jie gone? Do you dare not come to see me? I am Pingluhou, the chief minister of the imperial cabinet. What you do is rebellion. The emperor and the imperial court will not

I'll let you go..."

The young man looked at the furious Zheng Zhilong and smiled slightly.

"You are Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Pinglu. I have long admired your name. The Governor you mentioned is Gao Jie. He has already arrived in the capital. If you want to know who I am, there is no harm in telling you. I am the cabinet minister of the Great Wu Dynasty, Governor Zuo, Denglai Xin.

Army Commander-in-Chief Liao Wenru..."

Zheng Zhilong, who was in a rage, heard Liao Wenru's words, his body instantly softened and his face turned pale.

The name of the Denglai New Army is known to everyone. As the chief soldier of the Denglai New Army, Liao Wenru is even more of a legend.

Liao Wenru, the commander-in-chief of the Denglai New Army, personally led the troops to Fuzhou City. Zheng Zhilong knew very well what it meant.

Liao Wenru saw Zheng Zhilong's changed expression and continued to speak.

"Zheng Zhilong, in order to deal with your Zheng family, I, the chief soldier of the Denglai New Army, have been dispatched. You should feel proud. By the way, I can tell you something. Your son Zheng Chenggong and fifth brother Zheng Zhibao have already

Nearly 50,000 soldiers of the Zheng family died in battle and were completely wiped out by Denglai's new army..."

Zheng Zhilong's face instantly turned pale with a hint of blue, and he stared at Liao Wenru with wide eyes.

"puff..."

A mouthful of blood spattered from Zheng Zhilong's mouth. Zheng Chenggong was the hope for the future of the Zheng family and the most valued son of Zheng Zhilong. Unexpectedly, he would be killed by Denglai's new army so quickly. This meant that the Zheng family had no successor.

.

"You, you lie, I, I don't believe that 50,000 people are so easy to wipe out, you, your Denglai New Army is not that powerful, you, don't think that I am afraid of you, I will not believe your words...

"

Liao Wenru looked at Zheng Zhilong with a look of pity in his eyes.

"Zheng Zhilong, I might as well tell you something and make you understand."

"The so-called Huguang expedition by the Longwu court was just a trap set up by the emperor. When your Zheng family's sergeants went out for the expedition, why were Zhejiang's chief military officer Liu Zeqing and Shanxi's chief military officer willing to send 50,000 troops to assist? Also, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo

The 50,000 sergeants under his command were almost all lost in the Battle of Huguang. Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Zhibao were still able to stay in Fucheng, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, safe and sound. If it were you, would you do this? I'm afraid they would have revolted long ago...

.”

"As for Commander Gao Jie, I won't say more. Do you really think that the sergeants under Gao Jie went to Shaoguan to assist you in fighting? Of course, the Denglai New Army can completely annihilate the Daxi Imperial Court, kill Zhang Xianzhong, and control

Huguang and Sichuan, your Zheng family also has certain contributions, I don’t need to hide this..."

"The Emperor knows everything about the Longwu Court and has already made plans. Of course, the Longwu Court is supported by your Zheng family. Your Zheng family is based in Quanzhou. Your Zheng family controls Fujian and Guangdong.

You control the maritime trade of other places, and also control the maritime trade of Japan Island. You are as rich as any country. With your huge wealth, you are enough to support the Longwu court. Therefore, my Denglai New Army will unify the south and must destroy your Zheng family.

..”

"Your seal has just been found. The order given to Quanzhou by the Fujian General Soldier, Pinglu Marquis, and Cabinet Chief Minister Zheng Zhilong has been sent to Quanzhou by tens of thousands of Denglai New Army soldiers..."

Zheng Zhilong struggled to stand up, and Liao Wenru waved to the soldiers of the Denglai New Army beside him.

"Zheng Zhilong, you should understand that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, so there is no need to be so excited. Just say what you want to say."

When Zheng Zhilong watched Liao Wenru speak, his voice became hoarse.

"You, do you want to destroy my Zheng family? You, why are you doing this? Our Zheng family has not offended the Wu court, and Chenggong and the fifth brother have not offended the Wu court. I, I am still thinking

Submit to the Wu court..."

Liao Wenru smiled and shook his head.

"It's too late, what have you been doing? Besides, even if your Zheng family submitted to the imperial court, would the emperor believe you? Back then, your Zheng family submitted to the Ming Dynasty. Look at what your Zheng family has done in these years, for the Ming Dynasty.

Whatever you did, whatever you did, you put the Zheng family first. You supported Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang Dynasty. When it came to restoring the Ming Dynasty, you didn't say that the Wu court and the Ming court were the same.

Change your master?"

Zheng Zhilong stared at Liao Wenru, with a look of horror on his face. He had indeed said this, but when he said it, only Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhibao and others were around him, and even Zheng Chenggong didn't know.

"Zheng Zhilong, you are indeed capable. You have dominated the sea for many years, and the emperor also knows it. Unfortunately, you are obsessed with thinking about the Zheng family and have no bottom line in doing things. When the Ming Dynasty is about to fall, you are unwilling to send troops to conquer and only think about yourself.

Bao, you support the Longwu court on the surface, but in fact you think about yourself in everything you do. You killed Huang Daozhou, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong and others on unfounded charges. These people were all loyal ministers of the Longwu court. It was nothing more than their suggestions.

Gao Jie leads his troops to Fuzhou City, which will shake the status of your Zheng family..."

"People are doing it, and God is watching. From the perspective of the Zheng family, the things you do are all right. However, if everything in the world is done with your ideas, it will be a big mess, and there will be more

What is the court doing? That’s why I can’t keep you. As for the Zheng family, you can rest assured that I won’t go on a killing spree..."

"Your Zheng family has done a lot of good deeds in the local area and has been supported by the people of Quanzhou. Based on this, I will also give your Zheng family a way to survive. However, if anyone wants to fight to the death, then I

There is no other way..."

Having said this, Liao Wenru waved his hand.

"Zheng Zhilong, if you have anything else to say, if you have any last wishes, just say it and I will consider it..."

Zheng Zhilong looked at Liao Wenru and smiled sadly.

"I don't dare. Your Excellency has said it well. A successful king or a defeated bandit. What qualifications do I have to make demands? I just hope that your Excellency will do what you say and don't destroy my Zheng family. I will be satisfied..."

Liao Wenru nodded.

"That's fine. I've remembered what you said. Since I said I won't destroy your Zheng family and give you a way to survive, I'll keep my word."

When the sergeant escorted Zheng Zhilong out, Liao Wenru sighed softly. In his heart, he still felt faintly uncomfortable. For some reason, he thought of the days in Hanming Temple. At that time, he devoted himself to Buddha and did not dare to kill.

, after so many years, my heart has long hardened.

Within a few minutes, Zheng Zhilong's bloody head was brought in, and Liao Wenru waved his hand.

"Zheng Zhilong is also a great hero of his generation. Let's give him a generous burial..."

Before he finished speaking, the messenger entered the side room.

"Report to the Governor, Zhu Yujian wants to meet Gao Jie..."

Liao Wenru looked at the messenger with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Luo Dianming has led 30,000 Denglai New Army soldiers to Quanzhou, and the remaining 20,000 Denglai New Army soldiers are enough to control the situation in Fuzhou. Liao Wenru has already given an order to Zhang Dongtao of Huguang to lead troops to Fujian. As for

Many matters in Huguang can be left to Wu Sangui to take care of them.

Zhang Dongtao's heart is a little soft. He is afraid that it will be difficult to completely stabilize the situation in Huguang. Wu Sangui still needs to take action for some difficult things. For example, if the prestigious local gentry families desperately resist the imperial court, they must not be soft on these families.

, Zhang Dongtao worries too much and is afraid that he will not be cruel, but Wu Sangui is different.

Liao Wenru did not plan to meet Zhu Yujian. The Tang King of the Ming Dynasty still had some ambitions. Although he was a puppet emperor, he gradually controlled some power with his own abilities. If there was enough time, Zhu Yujian could still do it.

Unfortunately, facing the great Wu court, Zhu Yujian was nothing.

"I know, Gao Jie has already arrived in the capital. How to go to see Zhu Yujian? I have a letter here. Take it to the palace and show it to Zhu Yujian. If he knows what he is doing, he will know what to do. If he doesn't, you will know what to do.

What to do? The concubines in the palace don’t have to be embarrassed. Let them disperse. The eunuchs don’t have to be embarrassed. The rest can’t be let go..."

The messenger nodded, took the letter, turned and left.

Liao Wenru sighed again and spoke to the captain of the soldiers beside him.

"Follow me to the palace. You know what to do. Remember, you must do it neatly and without hesitation..."

After the soldier captain left, Liao Wenru walked out of the wing and looked up at the sky.

The emperor had great foresight and rose up to control the world in just over ten years. Liao Wenru has always been with the emperor and received a lot of teachings. What impressed him the most was that the emperor truly cared about the people of the world and the interests of the dynasty.

Wealth and prosperity are considered, and the emperor does not pay attention to his own enjoyment at all, and always does everything to the best of his ability.
