Chapter 217 Zheng's Marriage
After Liu Bu and his friends finished their meals and drinks, they would lead the bride to return as soon as the auspicious time came.
The two families are so far apart, so it will definitely take several days to travel to welcome the bride.
If it was someone else, it would be farther and harder, and the bride would be on the road for a long time.
But they are different. They have their own fleet and can set up a route by themselves, that is, after we welcome the bride out of the Zheng family, then walk to the dock, walk onto their warships, and then start sailing north.
Finally, after marrying into the Liu family in a grand manner, he got married at the Liu family and had a wedding in the bridal chamber.
The one responsible for sending the bride is his father Zheng Zhibao. The one responsible for sending the bride is usually the younger generation of the Zheng family. For example, it is better to be the Zheng Zining brothers. To put it bluntly, it is Zheng Fusong, but Zheng Fusong is an eleven-year-old child. Zheng Zhilong regards him as his lifeblood, so he will naturally not let him travel north to see him off. In addition, Zheng Zhibao also needs to go north to take office, so Zheng Zhibao will give it away.
This time, not only was the eldest daughter of the Zheng family married, but it was also considered that the three families of the Zheng family were separated. Zheng Zhibao would bring many of his east and west to the north, and he would live in Dengzhou for a long time.
Some people were still saying so sourly that Zheng Laosan had married him.
Zheng Zhibao laughed at other people's sour and jealous words, and it would be fine if he heard it.
Of course, with the high status of the Zheng family today, even if Zheng Zhibao split up, he still has a place in the Zheng family's old house. He must participate in the ancestor worship in Chongyang, but he no longer controls power and fleets.
He is still a member of the Zheng family, but he has nothing to do with the Zheng family's fleet. He can enjoy the Zheng family's end, but he no longer controls power.
Liu Bu felt that Zheng Zhilong was a bit complicated. Now Zheng Zhilong is a famous hero in the world. However, in the era when Liu Bu was before, Zheng Zhilong was a tragic and a bit funny character. In that era, people met Zheng Zhilong through Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Zhilong is even more tragic. He has the most powerful maritime business organization in the south, but he has won the best hand of good cards.
The following year of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, King Zhu Youjian of Tang went south to Fujian and was supported by Zheng Zhilong's brothers and was renamed the emperor. This was Emperor Longwu. Zheng Zhilong was named Nan'an Hou for his contributions to the establishment, and was also granted the power to handle all military affairs in the Southern Ming Dynasty. It was called wind and rain. At this point, Zheng Zhilong transformed himself into an important official of the court and reached the peak of his life as a pirate.
However, in just over a year, Zheng Zhilong did something shocking: in November of the following year, Zheng Zhilong responded to the inducement of surrender by the general of Jiannu in Nan, Dorobel Bolo, and despite Zheng Chenggong's repeated crying advice, he betrayed the Southern Ming court and formally surrendered to the Qing court.
Many people don’t understand, rather than being a chicken head than a phoenix tail, Zheng Zhilong was a marquis in the Southern Ming Dynasty and had a prominent reputation. Why did he go to the Qing court to be a traitor who was criticized by thousands of people?
Even if we start from the interests, Zheng Zhilong was powerful in the Southern Ming court for a while and called for the wind and rain, and even the emperor had to obey his orders. However, Boluo's promise was just a mere Governor of Fujian and Guangxi. Why did Zheng Zhilong give up the big and pursue the small?
Is it because Zheng Zhilong's brain is filled with water? Of course not, Zheng Zhilong has his own considerations.
On the one hand, it is related to Zheng Zhilong's historical principle of pragmatism.
Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate and had very few ideas about the country and nation in his mind. No matter what he did, he always had pragmatism first and interests first. When he surrendered to the court, he was nothing more than to better use his official identity to carry out overseas trade and make huge profits, not because of patriotism. Similarly, when the big tree of the Ming Dynasty fell, he could not see that Jiannu had achieved his goal of unifying the world. Those who know the times were heroes. Zheng Zhilong would naturally fall into Jiannu's arms without hesitation. This is called "My mother" if you have milk.
On the other hand, it is related to the role model role of Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and others.
When Jiannu entered the pass, in order to soothe people's hearts and reduce resistance, he gave generous treatment to Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others. After Hong Chengchou entered the pass, he was appointed as the prince's Taibao and led troops to fight. Wu Sangui was even named King Pingxi and had an army independently commanded by himself. With Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou's leading role, Zheng Zhilong had the dream of splitting the map and becoming the king. He was quite satisfied with Jiannu's position as the governor of Fujian and Guang. Zheng Zhilong hoped to use his identity as the governor of Fujian and Guang to continue to be king in the area of Fujian and Guang.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong only saw the benefits of surrendering to Jiannu, but did not see the risks. In this regard, he was not as good as his eldest son Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong knew very well that after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to Jiannu, he would not be able to escape unscathed like the last time he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so he cried and advised Zheng Zhilong three times. However, Zheng Zhilong had decided to leave and led dozens of confidants to surrender north.
After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to Jiannu, Jiannu was overwhelmed and did not appoint him as the governor of Fujian and Guangxi. Instead, he was named the Marquis of Tong'an with no meaning. Later, when Jiannu used Zheng Zhilong to surrender Zheng Chenggong many times but failed, he decisively executed him. The whole family who followed Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing court did not survive. He had done all the work, but killed Qingqing's life, which was also considered sad and ridiculous.
Zheng Zhilong's corrupt bones did not get the different eyes of Jiannu, but Zheng Chenggong's resolute resistance was respected by Jiannu. In the end, even if the Qing army invaded Taiwan, he still named his descendants Zheng Kezhan Hai Chenggong.
In fact, in the eyes of many people in later generations, the Zheng family should have done something greater, but it was because of Zheng Zhilong's wrong idea that he ended up like this, which is very sad.
However, history has entered a turning point now, and Liu Bu is born out of nowhere. Although he has not changed history, he has begun to make changes silently.
After this year's disaster relief, as long as the Liu family can survive, it will rise strongly in the Denglai area, and his strength will also begin to grow, and soon he will start to leverage history.
Since he was reborn, Liu Bu has been silently developing his strength. He has always made a fortune silently and has not changed anything. After he has been here for so long, the main thing that changes is to inspire their family to become a warlord family.
In addition, he believes that the history he has changed is only those things.
He made the famous "Mulanhua" in the world: If life was only like the first meeting, Nalan Xingde would not be able to make this famous work in the future; in addition, he killed Fan Yongdou and the seven major merchants in Shanxi. He probably wouldn't be so blatant that they would do whatever they want in the future.
Another one is to snatch Chen Yuanyuan away. This is his proud work. If you travel to this era, you will have to play with the most beautiful woman. This is unavoidable.
Chen Yuanyuan is still a stunning beauty, but I guess no matter how she escapes, she will not be able to escape the fate of being robbed.
In the original history, she and Mao Pijiang are about to become a good thing, but Tian Hong is snatched.
Tian Hongyu couldn't save it again, so he asked Wu Sangui to snatch it; Wu Sangui couldn't save it either, so he asked Li Chuang's general Liu Zongmin; Liu Zhongmin could not save it either, so he asked Li Zicheng to snatch it; Li Zicheng could not save it either, so he finally let Wu Sangui snatch it; the beauty had a poor life, so she snatched it all, and finally fell into the hands of Wu Sangui.
Although there is not such a big show here, the heroes and heroes in the world are snatched by Liu Bu, and he cannot escape the life he was snatched.
The only thing Liu Bu was thinking about was who should he push Wu Sangui to when he surrendered in the future?
In the original history, it was said that Wu Sangui surrendered to Li Zicheng and said left and right: "Your father and property were stolen by Li Zicheng."
He also said generously and confidently: "If I surrender, I will return it."
But the left and right told him again: "Aunt Chen was also stolen!"
He was completely crazy and furious, expelled the envoy sent by Li Zicheng, colluded with Jiannu, opened the gates of Shanhaiguan, welcomed Jiannu into the pass, defeated Li Zicheng in a stone, and rewritten the history of China.
This is called Chong Guan Yiqiu for the love of Hongyan in history. But he no longer has Chen Yuanyuan around him. What kind of excuse should he find? It's hard to say.
But Liu Bu knew one thing: she had been working silently here, and there were not many temporary changes, but in the end it would still change something soon. After the disaster relief was completed, after spending this winter, the Liu family began to accumulate strength. In an era of boom, it was also the time when their Liu family intervened in the world.
Liu Bu even tied both parties to the chariot through his joint marriage with the Zheng family, which greatly increased the possibility of their future development, at least they have become strong enough at present.
Today is the day when Liu Bu welcomes him, and it is also the most glorious day for his junior college entrance examination in his life. However, what Liu Bu thinks is not about the wedding night with the bride and the scenery when he passes the bride, but about the current situation of their Liu family.
Of course he didn't want to do it, because they had already passed the wedding night together in private, and had already known about Miss Zheng's various benefits and charm, so he didn't rush to think about it for the time being.
They were still living together when they went south. Zheng Zining regretted that he had ruined his innocence by Liu Bu before he even passed the door. Some things could not be kept at the time of the wedding night. Isn’t it better to have some of them?
At that time, Liu Bu was still quibbling: "I can't control myself because you are too beautiful, but this matter is also beneficial to you. You also know my strengths and weaknesses in all aspects, so you can marry with confidence. If you marry without trying, but you are a tyrannical person, you are very wrong."
