Although the Zheng family is a group of neighbors, to be honest, the support and help for local villagers is really limited.
Businessmen from Fujian traveled all over the world, and they were often exploited by the Zheng family.
Previously, Fujian merchants were oppressed in Nagasaki, and the Zheng family never came forward.
Fujian businessmen paid no less tolls than others.
Now that Xia Guo, who has a better attitude towards business, has appeared, the changes that Fujian merchants were forced to make due to the situation immediately turned into willing ones.
"General Zuo, it is a great blessing for us to be able to do business under the protection of the Xia Kingdom. I wonder if we can go to Shandong to thank His Highness the King of Xia?"
Zuo Hua smiled slightly and agreed on Zuo Mengeng's behalf.
"What Your Highness likes to see most is the prosperity of commerce and the exchange of needed goods. The door of convenience in Shandong is always open. You are welcome to come and go. Don't worry."
Chen Ding had already made up his mind.
"I'll collect the goods here and head to Shandong first."
He has decided that from now on he will consider himself a merchant of Xia Kingdom.
If you go to Shandong, it would be best if you can see Zuo Menggeng. If you can't see him, you can still submit a petition. From now on, under the protection of the Xia Kingdom, you have nothing to fear.
Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhifeng are here again.
"I wonder what Xia Kingdom will do with our brothers?"
This is when the negotiations began to deepen.
Zuo Hua is very serious.
"As long as you lay down your arms and surrender, you can go and do whatever you want from now on. Whether you are a rich man or a businessman, you can do it."
Seeing that the conditions were so relaxed, Zheng Zhibao still didn't believe it.
"Isn't Xia Guo afraid that our brothers will make a comeback one day?"
Zuo Hua's laughter was extremely domineering.
He pointed to the cloud sails covering the sea.
"When you, the Zheng family, were the most powerful, you were no match for Xia. What can you do from now on? I believe that you brothers are all smart people and will not seek death."
Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhifeng sighed, feeling extremely powerless.
yes.
Even if they are unwilling, no matter how hard they try, what can they do?
Can we build an invincible fleet that can rival Xia?
This time Xia Guo was magnanimous and pardoned them. There will definitely be no such good thing next time.
Zheng Zhifeng followed Zheng Zhilong's wishes and began to test.
"Since Xia Guo is interested in the sea, I believe General Zuo is also aware of our brothers' ability to sail on the sea. I wonder if Xia Guo can appreciate it?"
This is asking for a job.
Throughout the ages, many people with great abilities have been reused after surrendering, and they still enjoy glory and wealth.
Zheng Zhifeng thought that there were few people in the whole East Sea who were more capable than their brothers.
Xia Guo would not let such great talents go.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Hua didn't care.
"We will identify any talents among the Zheng family. Others can, but you can't. If you brothers still want to continue their glory and wealth, just wait until that boy Fusong grows up."
These words surprised Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhifeng.
It would be fine to say that the Xia Kingdom was wary of their brothers and did not want to reuse them.
Why can't they do it, but Zheng Chenggong can?
"Although you brothers have extraordinary abilities, what you have done all your life has lagged behind the times. What the Xia Navy has to do is compete with other powerful countries in the world, and there is no place for you. That boy Fusong followed His Highness
I've learned a lot of skills from you, and I'm a top-notch person, so my future is limitless."
In the end, the Zheng brothers' idea of finding a foothold in the Xia Navy went bankrupt.
However, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhifeng were not dissatisfied at all.
At least they made two points clear.
First, the life and death of their brothers are guaranteed, and the Xia Kingdom has no suspicion of the wealth they control.
Secondly, the Zheng family will not be in ruins. On the contrary, there is great hope in Zheng Chenggong.
You must know that Zheng Chenggong can almost be regarded as Zuo Menggeng's direct disciple. With this relationship, he is bound to be successful.
As long as Zheng Chenggong keeps up his performance, he might be able to reach a higher level than his brothers in the future.
The two of them returned to Anhai Town, and when General Xia Jun explained what he meant, Zheng Zhilong was dumbfounded.
I never expected that sending Zheng Chenggong to Shandong would turn out to be a brilliant move.
He looked up and down, left and right, carefully looking at his son. Although he was handsome and handsome, he couldn't tell what was the difference.
To make Zuo Mengeng value him so highly.
But no matter what, with Zheng Chenggong's relationship, the brothers don't have to worry about their safety for the rest of their lives.
"Since everyone has no worries, let's settle it."
Hearing that he finally decided to surrender, everyone in the Zheng family let out a sigh of relief.
In this world, no one wants to die.
It's always good to be able to survive without losing anything.
One day later, at the dock of Anhai Town, Zheng Zhilong led Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Hongkui and other leaders of the Zheng Group to deliver weapons and warships to Zuo Hua and Putmans.
This announced that the Zheng family's situation as the overlord of the East Sea has completely become history.
Seeing the majestic Xia troops around him with loaded guns and live ammunition, Zheng Zhilong was still a little frightened.
"I wonder if we want to move to Xia Kingdom?"
Obviously he planned to take the initiative as a hostage and leave no harm behind.
Zuo Hua scoffed at his petty thoughts.
"His Highness has said that you can come and go as you please. You can go if you want. If you don't go, it doesn't matter."
He turned to look at Zheng Chenggong who was following him.
"But you have to go back quickly. After delaying for so long, a lot of homework has been left behind. If you can't compare with others by then, I'll see if His Highness can take care of you."
Just the word "go back" made Zheng Chenggong burst into tears.
"Second uncle, don't worry, even if I don't go to school for a year and a half, those people will never surpass me."
Seeing how arrogant he was, Zuo Hua laughed heartily.
"What does it mean to win against a bunch of brats? If you are capable, you can defeat Princess Wu."
Zheng Chenggong's little face collapsed on the spot.
"Princess Wu's magical skills are unparalleled. Even if my nephew practices it all his life, he will never be able to match her."
Although Wang Siyi has not yet married Zuo Mengeng, their name has been fixed internally.
In view of her strong martial arts and Xu Ruolin's coming from a scholarly family, everyone calls them Princess Wen and Princess Wu.
Even Xu Ruolin's residence has been renamed Wenhua Hall. And Wang Siyi's residence is Wude Hall.
Zheng Zhilong stood aside and watched Zheng Chenggong chatting and laughing with everyone in Xia Guojun. He felt that this was not like a surrender ceremony, but like a reunion of relatives.
In this way, he felt a lot more relaxed.
"General Zuo, I want to go to Shandong to pay a visit to His Highness King Xia. Is it possible?"
Zuo Hua thought carefully and nodded slowly.
"That's fine."
Now that the Zheng family has surrendered, Zuo Hua is not stingy with his advice.
"Although there is no place for you in the army, the Xia Kingdom has been continuously exploring the outside world. There is a serious lack of relevant talents among the people. Maybe Your Highness will have another important use for you."
These words were so important that they immediately made the Zheng brothers smile again.
