Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 288 Name Zheng Chenggong

"I taught, I taught, it's just a small one, no, it's my minister who was so afraid that you forgot when you saw His Majesty, what is your Majesty's reason for summoning this minister?"

After Gu Sanmazi sneered, he stared at Zhu Youjian stealthily, arching his hands in a New Year's greeting gesture, fearing that his scarlet brocade official robe would be soiled.

Seeing Gu Sanmazi like this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing again, and he believed even more in his heart that what he said next could completely win over Gu Sanmazi's heart.

Zhu Youjian suppressed his smile, sighed, and walked over to pat Gu Sanmazi's official robe:

"Do you know Mr. Zheng? It's Zheng Zhilong. He was very dissatisfied when he knew that I made you the commander-in-chief of coastal defense. He said that you, Gu Sanmazi, were just a pirate who was beaten away by him to Taihu Lake. You have nothing to do except robbery. Money kills, there is no sea battle at all, he said that I should not let you be an official, I should deal with you, he is even willing to take the initiative to ask Ying, and use the strongest navy of the Zheng family to destroy you for me, I will ask today You, Gu Sanmazi, do you really have the ability, do you really only harm the people?"

"He's talking nonsense!"

Gu Sanmazi roared excitedly.

"Bold!" Shi Kefa hurriedly wanted to reprimand Gu Sanmazi, thinking that this guy is really brave enough to roar in front of the imperial court.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and did not let Shi Kefa stop Gu Sanmazi's agitated performance. On the contrary, seeing Gu Sanmazi reacting so excitedly, Zhu Youjian felt even better.

Zhu Youjian can tell that Gu Sanmazi should care about his official position, so when he heard that the Zheng family looked down on him, Gu Sanmazi reacted so violently.

"Your Majesty, little one, no, it's true that I was a pirate before, and it's true that I was against the government, but I really didn't do evil to the people. I robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and the Zheng family is better than me. There is nowhere to go, his Zheng family said that the Weichen would not know how to fight at sea, but no matter how powerful the Zheng family is, they would not have eliminated the Weichen. To be honest, if the Zheng family had not had the support of the court, they would not be where they are today At this step, if I, Gu Sanmazi, were recruited by His Majesty earlier, I would be as powerful as the Zheng family today, but what is really powerful here is His Majesty, what does it have to do with his Zheng family."

Gu Sanmazi justified himself in such a random way, which hit Zhu Youjian's arms, and made Zhu Youjian laugh very satisfied.

"Yes, I also believe that you, Gu Sanmazi, are not an ordinary person, no worse than his Zheng family, and you are not a coward."

Zhu Youjian patted Gu Sanmazi on the shoulder, and then straightened Gu Sanmazi's clothes himself:

"Because of this, I didn't listen to him Zheng Zhilong, and let you be the commander-in-chief of coastal defense. Do you know what the duty of the commander-in-chief of coastal defense is to protect my coastal defense from being invaded by foreign enemies, and to manage hundreds of people in my Ming Dynasty? Coastal defense in the Caspian Sea has a lot of responsibilities, be an official and don't let the Zheng family underestimate you!"

"Wei Chen understands that Wei Chen is His Majesty's minister, no worse than their Zheng family!"

Gu Sanmazi is very good at talking, even Zhu Youjian has to admit that he likes this pirate leader more and more at this moment.

Gu Sanmazi was indeed stimulated by Zhu Youjian's words at this time, he walked out angrily, and after seeing Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao, he couldn't help but relay Zhu Youjian's words to Liu Kongzhao.

After hearing this, Liu Kongzhao just smiled and said: "Gu Sanmazi, you and I are also friends, I will teach you a way, you just need to remember one thing, you are the emperor's man, as long as you always remember this, sooner or later you will be One day, you will be no worse than Zheng Zhilong."

"That's what I said. You said that the people of the Zheng family can't be angry. I was given this official by His Majesty, not by his Zheng family. Why do you say that I am not worthy of being this official? Could it be that the Zheng family Is it suitable?"

Gu Sanmazi babbled along the way, and Liu Kongzhao had no choice but to persuade him along the way, and at the same time secretly felt that it was not an easy task for His Majesty to mediate the conflict between Gu Sanmazi and the Zheng family.

In the blink of an eye, it was Dongyue, and after the winter solstice, Zheng Sen was also ordered to be summoned by Zhu Youjian in the Qianqing Palace.

This is the first time that Zhu Youjian met this later national hero.

The current Zheng Sen is still a young and frivolous idealist. He has not experienced the pain of father-son severance and national destruction in the original history, nor does he have the selfishness to love power and preserve strength in his old age. At this time, he is more It's just a passion for serving the country and making contributions.

After hearing the news that his third uncle Zheng Zhibao and fourth uncle Zheng Hongkui were also reused by His Majesty, he felt even more sincerely happy and proud.

It was also the first time Zheng Sen was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was very excited and excited.

As a member of the Guards, like most Guards officers and soldiers, he has witnessed His Majesty's demeanor several times since joining the army, and he has long regarded His Majesty as his admirer.

Zheng Sen pursed his lips, straightened his chest, and put his heels close together, looking very energetic. In addition, he was young and handsome, even Gong'e, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't help but blushed when she saw Zheng Sen .

Of course, Zheng Sen didn't dare to glance around here, Zhu Youjian also came out, seeing Zheng Sen so upright, he couldn't help but nodded and said:

"That's right, you are indeed from the army of my son of heaven, Zheng Sen, do you know why I transferred you to Nanjing Daming Shipping Bureau?"

"Report to Your Majesty! I understand!" Zheng Sen replied loudly.

"Tell me".

Zhu Youjian is very envious of Zheng Sen's current age and his background, because when he was Zheng Sen's age, he was still an ordinary college student in the 21st century, and he was still in a period of confusion. He shouldered the important task of building an empire, exuding confidence and passion, which is not comparable to what he used to be.

"Your Majesty intends to build a powerful navy, enhance the imperial court's naval warfare capabilities, revive the military prestige of the Daming Sea, regain the glory of Yongle, drive out the western barbarians, and even advance by land and water to regain the northern capital after another year!"

When Zheng Sen said this, Zhu Youjian said "OK" loudly and continued:

"I let you go back to Nanjing because you are familiar with the basic training system of the Guards, and you also know naval warfare training and artillery command. Therefore, when the Daming Ship Administration Bureau started school, you were the first to teach the first batch of instructors sent by your father to the court. Carry out basic military training, let them have a good military posture and strict military discipline; most of the first batch of instructors are from your Zheng family, and a small part are from Gu Sanmazi, and then they will train the recruited navy Officer students, the naval officers of the future imperial court will be selected from among them, and you will assist your fourth uncle in taking full responsibility for the training, are you confident?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have it!"

Zheng Sen replied loudly.

"With you guys so passionate, why not worry about the great cause of revitalizing the Ming Dynasty? From now on, you will be called Zheng Chenggong, which means that the Ming Dynasty will surely succeed." Zhu Youjian said, and Zheng Sen hurriedly saluted : "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"
