Chapter 388 [Talking about the Alliance, Zheng Family] Seven
Thursday, April 10th? The first update.
***************************
After Zheng Lianxiang's introduction, Mu Linfeng learned that the group of people outside were all subordinates of Zheng Zhilong, and they were also Zheng Zhilong's sworn brothers. They were also the famous "Eighteen Zhi" in history.
In addition to Zheng Zhilong's sworn brothers, "Eighteen Zhi" also includes Zheng Zhilong's biological brothers, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhilin, Zheng Zhifeng, and Zheng Zhibao.
In addition, there are Zheng Xing, Zheng Zhixing, Zheng Ming, Zheng Zhiming, Zheng Cai, Zheng Zhicai, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Li Kuiqi, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, etc., a total of sixteen people.
There are actually only twelve people present today. Zheng Xing went to Japan and has not returned, so he is not among them. There are five others who are in important positions, so they have not arrived. The other one is Liu Xiang, who has defected and does not belong to Shibazhi, so
The current Eighteen Zhizhi is actually only the Seventeenth Zhizhi.
Zheng Lianxiang also said that if it weren't for Nanzaemon's birthday today, none of these people would be able to gather together. The most popular gathering was the last Spring Festival gathering.
Zheng Zhilong walked out of the hall at this time and introduced his brothers to Mu Linfeng, saying: "Brothers, I believe everyone present has heard of Mu Linfeng's name, right?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. In fact, when they saw Mu Linfeng, a stranger, they had already noticed Mu Linfeng. They thought that Mu Linfeng was handsome, but they never thought that this person was Mu Linfeng, who had risen rapidly in the recent past.
Mu Linfeng saw that everyone was looking at him with something wrong, and they all bowed to him, and Mu Linfeng returned the courtesy one by one, but Zheng Zhilong continued: "Linfeng will no longer be an outsider, brothers, you don't need to be so polite, Linfeng and Lianxiang have already decided
The marriage took place..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all congratulated Zheng Zhilong, Mu Linfeng and Zheng Lianxiang: "Congratulations, congratulations!"
At this time, Tagawa Matsu led Nanzaemon into the lobby. Nanzaemon had changed into a new set of clothes today. He looked particularly energetic and had a smile on his face. When he saw Zheng Zhihu and others, he immediately ran over and called
Said: "Second uncle, third uncle..."
Zheng Zhihu was very tall. Mu Linfeng had just seen his serious look, but now he looked particularly kind. He stretched out his hand and picked up Shichizaemon, and then laughed and said: "Emmon is heavy again.
, my second uncle can’t hold you anymore!”
At this time, Shichizaemon pushed Zheng Zhilong and shouted: "Second uncle, Weimon is already an adult. He is twelve years old today, and you still treat me as a child!"
Hearing this, Zheng Zhihu put Nanaemon down and said with a smile: "It seems that Weimon has really grown up. When he saw me last year, he even pestered me to hug him. Today he started to feel shy..."
Zheng Zhibao and others laughed when they heard this, and then said to Shichizaemon: "Emon has grown up!"
Nanzaemon muttered when he heard this and said proudly: "That's right!"
Zheng Zhilong then waved his hand for everyone to enter the hall and take their seats, saying: "Brothers, there is no need to be polite. Weimen is your junior. I would like to celebrate your birthday without disturbing you, but today in addition to Weimen's birthday, Zhilong also
There is something important to announce! That’s why I invite you all to come.”
As everyone entered the lobby, they wondered: "I wonder what else big brother has to do? Are the Dutch looking for trouble again?"
Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly and then motioned for everyone to sit down. There were two banquet tables in the lobby. One table was for Tagawa Song, Zheng Lianxiang, Zheng Chenggong and Shichizaemon, and the other table was for Shiba Shiba.
The brothers made it together with Mu Linfeng. Zheng Zhilong sat in the chief position, followed by Zheng Zhihu on the left, Mu Linfeng on the right, and the next ones were arranged according to the sorrow and indignation of Shiba Zhi.
Everyone knows that Mu Linfeng belongs to the junior generation and should have sat with Zheng Lianxiang and others, but Zheng Zhilong deliberately arranged for him to be the chairman and sit on his right side, which shows that Mu Linfeng has a high status in Zheng Zhilong's mind.
Zheng Zhilong said straight to the point: "Brothers, you may have heard the news that the four counties of Yangzhou, Huai'an, Luzhou and Fengyang in Linfeng were besieged by Long Qingfeng's Qinglong Society and Zhang Xianzhong's alliance troops, right?"
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Anyone with a little bit of brains knew the purpose of Zheng Zhilong calling them here today.
At this time, only one person stood up at the end of the seat and said: "Is the eldest brother planning to form an alliance with Mu... this, Mr. Mu?"
Mu Linfeng turned around and saw that this man had a sinister face. The first impression he gave was that he was extremely fierce, but he didn't expect him to be able to see this.
But Zheng Zhilong nodded and said: "Yes, since Linfeng has made a marriage arrangement with Lianxiang, then Linfeng is Zhilong's son-in-law. His business is naturally my business, and you are my sworn brothers, and my business
, that’s your business, don’t you think so?”

The man nodded when he heard this and said: "Brother is absolutely right. Since eldest brother talks about forming an alliance, I, Li Kuiqi, will definitely not have any meaning!"
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "So this person's name is Li Kuiqi!"
But Zheng Zhilong waved his hand to Li Kuiqi to sit down, picked up the wine glass, stood up, and then motioned to Mu Linfeng to also pick up the wine glass. Mu Linfeng understood immediately and stood up with Zheng Zhilong, only to hear Zheng Zhilong say: "Brothers,
Today's glass of wine, Zhilong just wants to explain one thing. Linfeng is now my son-in-law, Zheng Zhilong, that is, the son-in-law of all the brothers here. How can we, the son-in-law of Shiba Zhi in southern Fujian, allow outsiders to bully us? Don't you think so?"
After hearing this, everyone picked up their wine glasses, stood up, and shouted: "Brother is absolutely right!" Everyone's face was filled with anger, as if Mu Linfeng was really their bullied son-in-law.
Zheng Zhilong said quickly: "Okay, brothers, please drink this glass of wine with Zhilong first!" He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Mu Linfeng also drank all the wine quickly, and everyone followed suit, but Zheng Zhilong wiped his mouth, and then he signaled the maid behind him to fill everyone's wine glasses, and then said: "This second glass of wine is for you.
My nieces Lianxiang and Linfeng’s engagement wine, please..." He said and drank it all in one gulp.
Mu Linfeng quickly said to everyone: "Thank you all...for this...thank you uncles!" He drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone also drank all the wine, and then said: "We are just waiting to drink Linfeng and Lianxiang's real wedding wine. I don't know when eldest brother means to have this wedding wine?"
Zheng Zhilong laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Zhilong also wants to drink a glass of wine proposed by his son-in-law as soon as possible, but the situation in the four counties facing the wind is dangerous now, and we cannot afford to be negligent. As soon as today's luncheon is over, we will immediately divide our troops.
Two separate attacks on Long Qingfeng and Zhang Xianzhong’s territory, do you brothers have any objections?”
Although everyone did not expect that troops would be sent out today, they still nodded and accepted the order: "Brother said it, we just do it!"
Zheng Zhilong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then said: "After today's banquet, Zhihu, Zhilin, and Zhifeng, you and your 100,000 troops, will go north along the way and directly attack Long Qingfeng's territory, Zhiming, Zhicai,
Kuiqi, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, you four brothers command an army of 150,000 men and march westward to Zhang Xianzhong's territory..." Then he said to Yang Geng and Chen Hui: "Mr. Yang and Brother Chen choose a naval force that dares to
Escort Linfeng back to Huai'an..."
After hearing this, everyone accepted the order one after another. At this time, one person stood up and shouted: "Brother, all brothers have important positions, why am I excluded by eldest brother?"
When Mu Linfeng heard the words, he looked around and saw that the man was short, with dark skin, piercing eyes, and a face full of anger. However, he heard Zheng Zhilong say: "Fifth brother, you have important things to do, so you can't go to the front line.
, you are the best in water warfare. Now the Dutch seem to be doing business with us, but in fact they are eyeing our southern Fujian. We must be on guard. If the brothers all go to the west, southern Fujian will be empty behind, and the Dutch will take advantage of it.
The gain outweighs the loss?”
The man snorted when he heard this, and then said: "Nowadays, the Dutch foreign barbarians will definitely not dare to send troops easily. If you let me stay here, wouldn't it mean that I have nothing to do? My fourth brother is also proficient in water warfare, why not let him stay?"
A bearded man sitting next to him immediately stopped him and said, "Fifth brother, the eldest brother must have his own intentions for this arrangement!"
Mu Linfeng had already guessed the identity of the two people, they must be Zheng Zhilong's biological brothers, Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhibao, but he saw Zheng Zhibao just sitting aside and stopped talking, his face full of anger.
Zheng Zhilong also ignored Zheng Zhibao, and then continued: "The purpose of rushing to the rescue this time is to cause harassment to the enemy. Conquering the city and plundering the land is not the main purpose. It would be good if we can capture a city and half a pond, but if the enemy
If we hold on, we can make the illusion that we are bound to capture the city, but we don’t have to take it too seriously, conserve our strength, there are still big things to do in the future!”
When Mu Linfeng heard what Zheng Zhilong said, he naturally knew that the major event he was talking about was the unification of Jiangnan. However, he heard the other brothers of Zheng Zhilong immediately accept the order and said: "We understand!"
At this time, Shichizaemon ran over and said angrily: "Dad, today is my birthday, and you actually..."
