Fu Song

Chapter 553 Suppression
Zheng Zeshi supported his crutches with both hands, half closed his eyes, but sat upright.

Behind him, the eldest son Zheng Zhilong had an extremely ugly face, staring at the middle-aged scribe sitting opposite him.

The middle-aged scribe was also sitting on pins and needles, his eyes flickering, and he took a few sips from the tea cup on the coffee table from time to time, but in fact he was just pretending that there was no more water in the tea cup.

The middle-aged scholar is Zhang Kun, the younger brother of Zhang Yu, the pacifier of Fujian Road, and the place where they are sitting now is the backyard of the Yamen of the pacifier of Fujian Road.

Zheng Zeshi ran all the way from Quanzhou to Fuzhou. In fact, he wanted to make one last effort. He still wanted to persuade Zhang Yu not to be too stubborn, but to obey the general trend, heed Xiao Cheng's call, and first go to Jiangling Mansion to jointly elect Zhao An as emperor. , Set a name, and then discuss major issues together.

But now it seems that Zhang Yu did not know what medicine he took wrongly, and he was going to go all the way to the dark.

I arrived at the Futai yamen after noon, but Zhang Yu didn't see me, and asked Zhang Kun to receive me on the grounds that I was busy with business.For a whole afternoon, the two of them chatted all over the world until they had nothing to talk about.

A servant outside poked his head, Zhang Kun stood up in embarrassment, cupped his hands, and before he could speak, Zheng Zeshi said with a smile: "Zhongshan has something to do, so just go and get busy, the old man wants to wait for the platform."

Zhang Kun laughed a few times, and said: "That's really rude, Uncle Shi, I'll go and see if my brother is done with his work!"

Zheng Zeshi smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, Zhang Kun hurriedly left the small hall.

"Father, I'm afraid that Zhang Futai has bad intentions." Zheng Zhilong said dissatisfiedly: "We still have to talk to him, why don't we leave here."

Zheng Zeshi sighed: "Your father and I are the children of Bamin after all, and we always have to work harder. If it doesn't work, it's God's will. If my guess is right, Zhang Futai must have thrown himself into the trap when he saw me passing by. I am full of joy. I dared to do what I didn’t dare to do before. I think that for half a day, I must be arranging how to wipe out our subordinates in Fuzhou, and then dispatching the best to control our old nest in Quanzhou in one fell swoop. , can swallow my Zheng family, and from then on, his Zhang family will be the only one in Bamin."

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback: "Since Father knows, why did you come here?"

Zheng Zeshi smiled faintly: "I came here to gain a moral high ground for the Zheng family. There is one thing that Zhang Fu made a mistake about, that is, he thought he controlled me, so he captured my Zheng family. At this point, he has already failed. Boss, we must win not only the Zhang family, but also the hearts of the people in Fujian! Otherwise, our two families will fight to the death, and other places will be forced to stand in line. What will we get in the end? A broken Fujian Road! How does this help the great cause of the Federation?"

"But this also puts you in danger, Father!" Zheng Zhilong said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, no matter what time it is, the Zhang family will not punish me to death! I understand the principle of keeping a line, and they understand it too!" Zheng Zeshi said.

The father and son were talking, but there was a burst of cheerful laughter outside. Hearing this laughter, Zheng Zeshi stood up with a smile and turned to the door.

"Crassman Zheng Zeshi, I have seen Futai!"

"Oh, Mr. Zheng, you are going to kill me!" An official in a purple robe stuffed the official hat in his hand to Zhang Kun who was beside him, and took a step forward to help Zheng Zeshi: "Mr. Zheng , It’s really negligent, today is too busy, too busy.”

Zheng Zeshi looked up to the sky and yelled haha: "Futai is indeed busy. My Zheng family is just like the Zhang family. I am an aborigine in Bamin. , first control my Zheng family's power in Fuzhou, and then clean up Quanzhou, isn't the Zhang family dominating this Bamin land?"

There was a flash of greenness on Zhang Yu's face, but Zhang Kun's face was flushed behind him.

"Duke Zheng, why are you so aggressive!" Zhang Yu's angry expression was fleeting, but he returned to normal immediately, and actually went to help Zheng Zeshi to sit down himself.

"It's not that I'm aggressive, it's that Zhang Futai, you have acted too unnaturally this time. Zheng came to the door and came here for peace, but Futai wanted to go to war. This is indeed painful for relatives, and quick for enemies!" Zheng Zeshi Sighing slightly: "In the future, I still have a glimmer of hope. Now, I finally know that it is my extravagant hope."

Zhang Yu flicked the sleeves of his robe and sat down: "Mr. Zheng is serious. I know that you have always been a member of the Laoshizi Federation, but Mr. Zheng, why can't we do what Xiao Erlang can do? Ours Is his strength worse than that of Xiao Erlang?"

"Could it be possible that Futai also has royal blood in his hand?" Zheng Zeshi asked with a smile.

Zhang Yu laughed loudly: "What royal bloodline? In my opinion, the one in Xiao Erlang's hand is just a Xibei product, right? There are as many bloodlines as you want! Zheng Gong, here The land of Bamin, if you and I say yes, that’s it.”

"What's the use of just you and I admitting it? The whole world has to admit it." Zheng Zeshi said: "Xiao Erlang's side, as far as I know, has already recognized His Highness Zhao An several times, and went to Jiangling personally went."

"Did the two rivers move? Did the two Zhejiang move? Huainan East Road didn't move, and Guangnan East Road didn't move!" Zhang Yu sneered: "This southeast land, everyone hasn't said anything yet! Support Xiao Erlang Yes, it is nothing more than his buddies in the Southwest. Zheng Gong, to put it bluntly, what can Xiao Erlang do without our wealth in the southeast? Even before the Great Song Dynasty, three-quarters of the wealth in the world was also It’s from our southeastern land!”

"They all promised you?"

"Not yet, but as long as we raise the flag, they will naturally have a choice!" Zhang Yu said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I have prepared the royal blood, just like Zhao An, only ten years old In his early years, he looks a bit like the previous king of Chu."

"With empty teeth and white teeth, how can you win over others?"

"As long as the story is written well, those who should believe it will definitely believe it, and those who don't want to believe it will call it false even if it is true!" Zhang Yu laughed loudly: "Ten years ago, Chu Wang once came to our Fujian Road to inspect, that is, that time, he left behind blood, women, children, including all the details, all have been prepared. No matter who he is, there is no trace of leaks, and it is true Wang himself has now become a prisoner of the Liao people, so if he wants to defend himself, he has no chance, right?"

"Futai has been planning for a long time, right?"

"Of course! After Tokyo was destroyed, I have been doing this. It's just that I didn't expect Xiao Erlang's speed to be so fast!" Zhang Yu was a little annoyed: "But don't worry. Xiao Erlang is not clean, his father Fu Ni, his elder brother is a traitor, and Zhao An in his hand is the son of King Ni Jing, how can he compete with the blood of the former king of Chu and the current emperor in my hand?"

"In this way, I'm afraid we will fight the Liao people before we start fighting!" Zheng Zeshi shook his head repeatedly.

Zhang Yu laughed loudly: "Duke Zheng, our Bamin land has not suffered any wars for hundreds of years. Why? Because the mountains are high and the water is dangerous here, if you want to attack us from outside, you are looking for death. My Bamin My son, you are brave and good at fighting. Moreover, Mr. Zheng, if the navy of our two families are combined into one, they must be invincible in the world. We have the dangers of mountains, rivers and seas, and we also have maritime trade, which is inexhaustible. Use it An inexhaustible source of wealth. Take ten thousand steps back, we really lost, so we set sail to escape for a while, and we can make a comeback at any time!"

"Zhang Futai, the reason why Bamin has not suffered any wars for hundreds of years is not because we are brave and good at fighting in Bamin, nor is it because our mountains and rivers in Bamin are dangerous, but because outsiders can't afford to fight here. As long as he takes over the territory around us, we will not be able to survive, and the final result can only be to surrender to the opponent, but you count up and see if this is the case!"

Zhang Yu said angrily: "Duke Zheng, today is different from the past. The world is in chaos. It's a great time. No matter what you think, you can't help it. You can rest here for a while. When the overall situation is settled, we How about drinking and talking?"

Zheng Zeshi's crutches poked loudly on the ground: "Zhangfutai, six states and two armies, and the land of eight Fujian, I'm afraid there won't be too many people attached to you. Tens of thousands of forbidden troops, how many can you control? Master is facing my Zheng family navy master, do you really think you can win the paper with confidence?"

Zhang Yu chuckled: "Duke Zheng, let's wait and see."

"Okay, I hope you don't regret it!" Zheng Zeshi poked the ground, stood up, and said coldly, "In this case, you still haven't arranged a meal for me, and I've been sitting on the bench for a long time, but I'm already hungry. "

"It's already ready. Mr. Zheng, please be careful. There are still plenty of times when you are required to come forward!" Zhang Yu said with a smile: "The order will arrive in Quanzhou tomorrow. The main fleet of the Zheng family has not yet returned from the sea. You are in Cangzhou." I won’t be polite about those belongings on Erdao Island, I’ll keep them for you for a while.”

Zheng Zeshi smiled coldly, turned around and left.

Cang'er Island, the headquarters of the Zheng family, not only the family members of the Zheng family, but also shipyards, ship repair yards, material warehouses and other things related to the fundamentals of the Zheng family.

In Fuzhou, Wu Ke, who was dressed as a local, looked up at the vermilion gate of the tall house in front of him, strode forward, and knocked on the knocker.

A moment later, he appeared in the study of the owner of the house, and there was an acquaintance in the room.

Liu Fengkui.

"Duke Zheng didn't come out, so it looks like he was detained by Zhang Yu!" Wu Ke said with a smile. "How is your side?"

"I've seen everything that should be seen, even those at both ends of the first rat!" Liu Fengkui smiled and said, "Now we're going to watch the battle in Quanzhou. The Zhang family has never paid much attention to land troops, but to the navy. , because the navy can bring them great sea trade profits, and they use these profits to buy those land troops, so once the navy is defeated by us, how can the land troops survive? How about sitting in a boat with him? Without sea profits, Fujian Road really can’t find any other ways to make money.”

"Soon, they will receive news of the complete defeat of the Fujian Navy!" Wu Ke said with a smile.

"So sure?" Liu Fengkui was a little surprised: "As far as I know, the fighting power of the Fujian navy is quite strong. It's no worse than that of the Zheng family."

"Liu Gong, you haven't seen our navy at sea!" Wu Ke said, "Have you ever seen a giant ship in Leizhou Peninsula? A warship like this can carry thousands of sailors!"

"Thousands of things?" Liu Fengkui's words were blocked in his throat, and he was speechless for a while.

"We have two such warships!" Wu Kexiao said authentically. "Zhang Yu has been monitoring Cang'er Island, but he doesn't know that the essence of the Zheng family has been transferred to the Leizhou Peninsula over the years. For more than ten years, we have been constantly searching for shipbuilders from all over the world. These two huge ships have been in the water for three years! There is really no special trick to fighting at sea, the basic situation is that big ships eat small ships, and many ships eat few ships."

On the surface of the sea, nearly [-] large and small warships were mighty, their white sails almost covered the sea surface, sailing to the distant Cang'er Island amidst the sound of rumbling war drums.

Zhang Gan, Commander of the Fujian Navy, held on to the railing of the command ship and looked at Cang'er Island in the distance with a relaxed smile.

The information shows clearly that the Zheng family's main fleet has not yet returned from the long voyage!
But what if he came back?
Even if the Zheng family is a long-standing old pirate, and their fighting power at sea is quite strong, a merchant ship is a merchant ship, and there is still a big difference between them and a warship. If they really encountered each other, Zhang Gan felt that he could easily win the battle Of.

Of course, this is the best way now. After all, Futai said that since the Zheng family is overwhelmed, it cannot hurt the foundation of the Zheng family. After all, in this land of Bamin, the Zheng and Zhang families can truly control the overall situation by working together.

What to do next, Zhang Yu has already planned.

The two families of Zhang and Zheng already had a somewhat entangled relationship by marriage, and this relationship will only become closer and closer in the future.

The direct descendants of the two families will get married in the future, so that everyone can cooperate better.

"Control, look!" Suddenly the exclamation of the soldiers came from the ear.

Zhang Gan raised his head and looked into the distance. All of a sudden, he felt that the air became stagnant all of a sudden, and it seemed that he couldn't suck the fresh air with the sea breeze into his lungs even if he breathed hard.

Behind Cang'er Island, a huge ship that he had never seen before, or even imagined, appeared in his vision.

That ship was so big that it made the warships next to him look ridiculous like some toy ships.

Not just one, but one more!
Amid the exclamation of everyone, Zhang Gan turned to the other side in horror. On the other side of Cang'er Island, another huge ship like this appeared with hundreds of warships.

He was surrounded.

The rumbling drums sounded, and no other sound could be heard above the sea.
