Thank you to the brothers and sisters who have always supported Xiaochuan, I love you!!!

Seeing the slightly changing expression on Liu Ruyi's face, Zheng Chenggong felt a little unsure. However, after all, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. He no longer looked into Liu Ruyi's eyes, but straightened his chest with all his strength, like a proud heart.
Green pine.
The corners of Liu Ruyi's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Even though he was an unparalleled hero, he was still a bit young and energetic at this moment!
After pondering for a moment, Liu Ruyi suddenly smiled and said: "So this is the beloved son of the great master. He is indeed a hero born from a young age! Haha! The future will definitely be limitless!"
Seeing Liu Ruyi's sudden words, Zheng Zhihu didn't react for a moment. What did Qi Guogong mean? Is it good or bad?
However, Zheng Chenggong was far from being as cautious and slow as his second uncle Zheng Zhihu. Every word of Liu Ruyi's words was clearly imprinted on his ears.
Zheng Chenggong's heroic face also showed a slight smile.
After all, he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy at this time, far from the depth and stability of later generations. How could he not be happy when he heard that his idol praised him so much?
Only then did Zheng Zhihu react. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are so ridiculous! Sen'er is still young. If you have offended your Majesty in any way, please forgive me!"
But Liu Ruyi smiled and waved her hand, "The second master's words are wrong! As the saying goes, a hero comes from a young man, and the first master has such a son, it is really a blessing for the Zheng family!"
Only then did Zheng Zhihu realize that Liu Ruyi really had a good impression of Sen'er, and said with a smile: "The Duke of Guo has a keen eye and recognizes talents. However, Sen'er's future achievements will still depend on his efforts!
"
"Haha!" Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, but the expression on his face was undeniable.
Zheng Zhihu is also an old ginger after all!
His words were actually praising him on the surface, but secretly he wanted him to help Zheng Chenggong more.
After all, the saying that he is a talent comes from Liu Ruyi. He may not become a talent, but it depends on whether Liu Ruyi is willing to help!
Zheng Chenggong was young after all. For the moment, he really didn't understand what Duke Qi and his second uncle meant. He just looked respectfully into Liu Ruyi's eyes, waiting for a reply.
Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face softened a little, and she said with a smile: "Second master, eldest son, we are destined to meet each other! The reason why we are gathered here today is to drag down the blessings of those young people.
Ah! Haha! Although I, Liu Ruyi, am not talented, in my life, I like to support young heroes the most! When young people are strong, the country will be strong! Although our Ming Dynasty covers thousands of miles, there are very few real heroes! Today, I and
The eldest son is very attracted to him and wants to accept him as his disciple. I wonder what the second master and the eldest son want to do?"
Zheng Zhihu didn't expect that Liu Ruyi would value his nephew so much. For a moment, he really didn't dare to make the decision!
But on the side, Zheng Chenggong was made excited by Liu Ruyi's words!
‘Strong young people will make the country strong!’ Isn’t this the truth he has been pursuing?
"I have the great love of the Duke of Qi, boy! I am willing to follow the Duke of Qi and do the hard work of riding a horse and riding a horse!" At this time, Zheng Chenggong could not care about his second uncle's eyes. He knelt down respectfully on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Ruyi three times.
Liu Ruyi laughed loudly, helped Zheng Chenggong up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Although you are famous as a forest, your name is too solemn and not grand enough! Otherwise, from now on you will be called Zheng Chenggong! Above success, you will be invincible!"
Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Lord Duke, for giving me the name. From now on, I will be called Zheng Chenggong!"
Seeing that the raw rice has been cooked, Zheng Zhihu felt a little helpless, but seeing what he saw in front of him, he simply gave up the resistance in his heart.
Now that Liu Ruyi has decided to accept Sen'er as a disciple, he must make some concessions in the next step, right?
Liu Ruyi didn't care about Zheng Zhihu's reaction at all. Not to mention Zheng Zhihu, even Zheng Zhilong's presence here was far less important than the presence of his precious son!
Soon, Liu Ruyi ordered his soldiers to hold a banquet to celebrate himself and accepted his first disciple!
The generals of the Caishi Army did not expect Liu Ruyi to make this decision, but after thinking for a moment, they were all overjoyed and came to congratulate him one after another!
Because as long as Liu Ruyi opens this door, in the future, it will be logical and natural for their nephew to become a disciple of Liu Ruyi!
Human beings are group beings and cannot exist alone in this society.
In Ming Dynasty, the most important relationship between people is that of teachers and students!
The meaning of a teacher is comparable to that of parents and a king and father.
In the late Ming Dynasty, this kind of friendship undoubtedly reached its peak.

With this layer of friendship pulling us in, the atmosphere became much more relaxed during this meal.
Everyone exchanged cups, ate and drank to their heart's content, and it was very lively.
Liu Ruyi was naturally happy to do so.
The Zheng family is so powerful that it occupies almost half of the country along the southeastern coast. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as rich as any country in the world!
But although brothers Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, and Zheng Zhibao also have some abilities, they are not far-sighted people.
Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong would not have tried so hard to launder the huge wealth he had accumulated over the years and move it inland.
And the power of Shibazhi spread all over the southeastern coast, even Southeast Asia and the Japanese country.
The reason why there were so few Japanese pirates along the coast in the late Ming Dynasty was that the Zheng family played a big role!
To be honest, even Liu Ruyi would not be too confident if he used force with the Zheng family!
If this kind of 'behemoth' uses force, it will fall into the lowest category!
This principle is actually very simple.
Just like a tiger born in nature, when it grows up step by step from a cub, it will undoubtedly have to go through countless hardships before it can reach the final stage of roaring in the mountains and forests.
It is extremely difficult to reach this point. If you forcefully erase it, even if you kill a thousand enemies, you will definitely lose 800!
The Caishi Army is not good at naval warfare. The outcome of victory or defeat is still determined by God's will!
In later generations, even Kang Xiaomazi, who was praised to the heavens by his descendants as the "Eternal Emperor", chose to use softness to overcome hardness and divide from within when solving the Taiwan issue.
Shi Lang, who was frustrated with the Zheng family, led the Qingshui Army to counterattack into the heart of the Zheng family.
Historical facts have proven that this is an extremely correct choice.

After having had enough wine and food, the generals retreated one after another. Only Liu Ruyi, Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Zhihu were left in the huge tent.
Zheng Chenggong drank a lot of wine today, and his face was already red. However, there was an indescribable heroic spirit between his brows, but when he looked at Liu Ruyi, his eyes were full of respect and admiration.
Zheng Zhihu is destined to be a supporting role today. Although he is not a cold talk among generals, compared with Zheng Chenggong, he is undoubtedly far behind.
The soldiers offered fragrant tea to relieve the drunkenness.
Liu Ruyi took a light sip, turned to look at the two of them and said: "Sen'er, although you have become my disciple, you are also a member of the Zheng family. This dispute started with the subordinates of the Zheng family. This matter is for
The teacher is not hiding anything from you, so just listen on the sidelines!"
"Yes!" Zheng Chenggong bowed his hands respectfully and stood beside Liu Ruyi.
This time he came to represent He Tan, representing his father Zheng Zhilong, but he also became Liu Ruyi's disciple. At this time, Liu Ruyi personally sent a message, which was to acknowledge his dual identity, which undoubtedly gave him a taste.
A reassurance.
When Zheng Zhihu saw that Liu Ruyi was about to talk about business, he quickly sat up straight and pricked up his ears.
Liu Ruyi glanced at the two of them with a smile, and said calmly: "I have made this very clear before! The disaster of sea dragons must be eliminated! But the Dutch..."
Liu Ruyi gave it a try and glanced at the two of them.
Zheng Zhihu hurriedly raised his hands and said: "My lord, it is not difficult to get rid of the sea dragons! I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to get them to return the goods! Nearly half a year has passed, and this batch of goods has probably been taken over by those people.
The Dutch ghost swallowed, this, this..."
Liu Ruyi glanced at Zheng Chenggong and said with a smile: "Sen'er, what do you think about this? Tell me what you think!"
Zheng Chenggong frowned slightly. He had been thinking about this matter for a long time. When Liu Ruyi asked about it, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Teacher, the sea dragon incident is nothing to worry about! But those Dutch ghosts are insidious and cunning. They occupy our Taiwan~Taiwan."
It is really abominable to wantonly kill the people of my Ming Dynasty and rob the minerals and resources that originally belonged to my Ming Dynasty! However, they are powerful, and if we offend them rashly, we will probably lose more than we gain!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and nodded.
The Dutch value Taiwan, and this is no longer a matter of a day or two.
Zheng Zhilong started his career relying on the Dutch. Although he was already full-fledged at this time, even if he was dissatisfied with the Dutch, he did not dare to take action easily.
However, Zheng Chenggong's vision and broadmindedness are far beyond those of his father!
Previously, when the Dutch did not occupy Taiwan, they might have relied on the Zheng family's strength. However, as time went by, when the Dutch established a firm foothold in Taiwan, they would not allow their interests to be taken advantage of by others. Both of them
Between them, war is inevitable!
This is already a hurdle that the Zheng family cannot get around!
But at this time, Zheng Chenggong was young and could not gain the right to speak in the Zheng family. Even if he knew all this, he could not do anything about it!
But Liu Ruyi clearly understands all of this!
After pondering for a moment, Liu Ruyi sneered: "The Dutch are powerful, but they are not invincible! This is my land of the Ming Dynasty! The Dutch actually want to run wild in our territory, even if they are dragons, I will still
Peel off their dragon skins!"
Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Chenggong obviously did not expect that Liu Ruyi would be so determined. For a moment, they did not know how to react.
However, Zheng Chenggong was a young man after all. He couldn't help but get excited by what Liu Ruyi said. He clenched his fists and said, "My mentor is right! The Dutch are human beings too! They are not trivial! If my mentor wants to go to war with the Dutch, my disciple is willing to be my mentor."
pioneer!"
Zheng Zhihu did not expect that his normally calm nephew would be so impulsive. He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Liu Ruyi laughed loudly, "Not bad! Not bad! You are indeed my disciple, Liu Ruyi! However, if we want to fight with them, we still need to be patient for a while!"
