Siming Prefecture was originally the Zhongzuo Office of Yongning Wei. In the ninth year of Yongli, Zheng Chenggong renamed it to Siming Prefecture to express his longing for the Ming Dynasty. The prefecture office established a magistrate and six officials including officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and labour. They accepted Ming officials and divided the military and political affairs. However, whether it was a local or a foreigner, they were still used to calling Siming Prefecture Xiamen.

Since the fifth year of Yongli, Xiamen has become the base of the restoration of the Ming forces on the coast of Fujian. Now there are hundreds of thousands of military and civilians who rely on King Yanping Zheng to fight against the Qing Dynasty. In addition, King Yanping is engaged in maritime trade, which makes Xiamen and Kinmen across the sea brightly lit at night. Various cargo ships docked here to unload and load goods. They are extremely busy, and there are also merchants coming and going, with white hair, red eyes, green noses, and many Japanese people.

From time to time, warships with the Yanping banner sailed by on the sea. The sailors and soldiers on the ship were energetic and had indescribable confidence on their faces, as if they were the masters of the sea.

In the distance, a warship sailing from Xiangshan, Guangdong slowly approached Siming Port. On the bow, Xu Yingyuan, dressed in a Confucian shirt, looked at the busy port in front of him in surprise, surprised the power of the Zheng navy passing by the sea.

The Zheng navy discovered the warship where Xu Yingyuan was. Three clutches quickly approached and found that the ship was wearing the Ming Dynasty. After the people on the ship signaled to enter the port, one of the three clutches guided him in front, and two escorted him into the port on the left and right.

It was late at night, and the lights in the Yanping County Prince's Mansion were also brightly lit. The County Prince's Mansion was built on the east side of Siming Prefecture. When the window was pushed through the royal palace, if the sky was clear, you could see the Kinmen Island opposite.

In the palace, the 35-year-old Princess of Yanping, Dong You, was a 35-year-old Princess of Yanping, was a Jinshi of Hui'an, Fujian Province. Dong You was a niece of Dong Jinxian, who was once the minister of the Ministry of Rites of Chongzhen. The two got married in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Dong You was 18 years old that year and Zheng Chenggong was 20 years old. Now they have been married for 17 years, and their eldest son Zheng Jingdu is 16 years old.

After picking up the wine glass and drinking it lightly, Zheng Chenggong, who was already middle-aged, suddenly felt a little uneasy. He pulled his wife Dong You to sit down, and said to her with some concern: "This time I rejected the Qing court again. But I don't know if my father would be angry."

Although Dong You is a woman, she is quite smart and capable, and sometimes even more thorough than her husband. She shook her head slightly and said to Zheng Chenggong: "The prince is too worried. As long as the prince is here, grandpa will not have any trouble."

Zheng Chenggong thought about it and said that what his wife said was very good. If the Qing court really wanted to kill his father, he would have taken action long ago. Why would he wait until today?

He put down his worries, picked up the wine glass again, and took another sip. Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "It's still the madam's skill. This wine is neither cold nor hot, but it's just right after the drink."

Dong You smiled and said, "The prince hasn't eaten my warm wine for a long time. I thought the prince had forgotten what it tastes like!"

"Where can you forget it?"

Zheng Chenggong looked at his wife with some guilt and said, "The years have been going through ups and downs, and you have never lived a safe life with me. I have suffered and been tired."

Dong You hurriedly said, "Look at what the prince said, God is destined to let me accompany you, so I will do my best to serve you. As a woman, I only know how to drink warmly for you when you are bored and help you burn your feet when you are tired. I don't ask about anything else, and I just do my duty as a wife."

Zheng Chenggong was moved when he heard this. He gently stroked Dong You's hair and said, "Sometimes I really feel sorry for you. You took care of this family carefully and put a lot of thought into me. But I handed myself over to Hongfu Tiandao and the cause of reviving the Ming Dynasty."

Although it was an old husband and wife, Dong You couldn't help but blush and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, stop talking. How can men put their minds on women? You are the one who does big things. I will follow you and be willing to take care of your family affairs."

Seeing his wife blushing, Zheng Chenggong chuckled and asked her, "How is Jing'er doing recently?"

"You father doesn't care about your son on weekdays, so you'll come and ask me about this mother."

Dong You gave her husband a blank look and then told his son that he had been studying with Chen Yonghua recently and was quite good at learning.

Chen Yonghua was a student of Longxi, and his father was Chen Ding, a Jinshi of the Chongzhen Dynasty. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, the Qing army captured Tong'an, and Chen Ding hanged himself in Minglun Hall. At that time, Chen Yonghua was only fifteen years old and was a doctoral disciple. After the Qing army entered the city, Chen Yonghua fled from the city and ran to Xiamen a few years later. Wang Zhongxiao, the Minister of War, knew his talents and recommended him to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong talked about current affairs with Chen Yonghua. Although the latter was not old, his opinion was brilliant. His response was very consistent with Zheng Chenggong's heart. He immediately granted him the position of joining the army and treated him with courtesy. A few days ago, he ordered him to be the teacher of his eldest son Zheng Jing, which shows his respect for him.

Zheng Chenggong knew that although Chen Yonghua was not good at talking and was humble with others, he could resist reason and fight for it at critical moments and never give in. He ordered Chen Yonghua to be his eldest son's teacher, and he also intended to ask him to assist his son Zheng Jing in the future.

Dong You talked about his son's studies, and suddenly changed his tone and said, "Prince, Zhier needs to send a wet nurse over there." Zhier is the fourth son of success, and has only been born for several months.

"You'll arrange these things and ask me what I'm doing."

Zheng Chenggong was a little surprised. His wife always had the decision of the matter in the mansion. He never asked about it, but for some reason, the wife suddenly told him that she wanted to give Zhier a wet nurse. Could he still worry about this matter?

Dong You said: "I want to arrange Zhao Niang to go there."

"Xiao Niang?"

Zheng Chenggong didn't have the impression of this woman in his mind. Dong You clicked him and remembered that Zhaoniang was the wife of a military officer. She had just given birth to a pair of twins. She had both had excellent figures and good breasts, so Dong You wanted to call her to be Zhi'er's wet nurse. But Zhaoniang's husband was a general under Chenggong, so he had to tell her that if he wanted his wife to enter the palace to be a wet nurse. If he didn't want to, even Princess Yanping could not force him to come, so he had to tell her husband.

Thinking that this was a small matter, he promised to tell Zhaoniang's husband tomorrow. Dong You mentioned another thing, and she said, "Jing'er is not young anymore, would you tell him about marriage?" Before her husband could speak, she said, "I have seen the daughter of Shangshu Tang Xianyue once, but she looks dignified. She is a small family and hires a teacher and is well-educated. I like it very much."

After hearing what the wife almost said that the daughter of the Tang family was going to be her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since you like it, please ask someone to propose marriage."

Dong You said angrily: "You father is not going to propose marriage to your son, do you want me, a woman, to come forward?"

"That's true."

It was a big deal to propose marriage to his son. As he succeeded, he wanted to find a suitable person to propose marriage to Shangshu Tang. He was thinking about who to send, and Liu Guoxuan, the general in charge of Houzhen, sent someone to report that someone from Guangdong came.

Liu Guoxuan was originally a thousand-ranking officer of the Qing army. In the eighth year of Yongli, when Zheng Chenggong besieged Zhangzhou, Liu Guoxuan actively instigated the defending general Xiancheng to surrender. Later, he guided the Zheng army to attack Zhangzhou City without bloodshed, forcing the Qing Dynasty's Zhangzhou garrison Zhang Shiyao and others to surrender Zheng. For this reason, Liu Guoxuan was granted the title of deputy governor by Zheng Chengguo and was in charge of guarding the rear town.

People from Guangdong?

Success was slightly shocked. Thinking of what my father said in his letter to him last time, and in conjunction with the Qing court sending Prince Jidu to lead an army south to Guangdong, I couldn't help but guess whose family came from Guangdong.

Ahem, Zheng Jing likes her tampon and bones also like it.
