Chapter 522 [On behalf of the king's southern tour, recruit Zheng's] six
Mu Linfeng led a group of people into Fuzhou City in a mighty manner. The people on the road island, not knowing what was going on, stepped aside to both sides of the road, watching and talking.
Yang Geng and Chen Hui quickly rushed to Mu Linfeng's side and led Mu Linfeng to Wangjiang Tower.
Wangjiang Tower is the best, largest, and most pompous restaurant in Fuzhou. The open space at the entrance is enough for thousands of people to stand. I guess it is usually a place where dignitaries and dignitaries park their sedans and horses.
In front of the gate of Wangjiang Tower, there were dozens of people standing. The leader was Zheng Zhilong, and the others were all Zheng Zhilong's sworn brothers. When Zheng Zhilong saw Mu Linfeng leading his army to the banquet, Zheng Zhilong's expression couldn't help but change.
Mu Linfeng jumped off the horse, then raised his hands to Zheng Zhilong and said, "Master Zheng, long time no see!"
Zheng Zhilong hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and smiled: "Linfeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have changed from Mu Shuai to Prince Mu!"
Mu Linfeng laughed, said nothing, and handed over to the people behind Zheng Zhilong one by one. Most of these people Mu Linfeng had seen before. They were Li Kuiqi, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, Zheng Cai, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhifeng.
...They also all know Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng saw the stern expressions of these people, who seemed to be encouraging, Zheng Zhilong glanced at the soldiers behind Mu Linfeng, and quickly said to Mu Linfeng: "Linfeng, you won't let your troops stand at the entrance of Wangjiang Tower, will you?
"
Mu Linfeng immediately laughed and said: "Master Zheng, don't laugh, I can't help it..." After saying what he just said to Yang Geng, he said it to Zheng Zhilong again, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry.
, My brothers all came here after they were full, and they will never go even half a step into Wangjiang. What if Mr. Zheng, you really set up an ambush in Wangjiang Tower to wait for Mu!"
Zheng Zhilong smiled awkwardly when he heard this, then stretched out his hand and said: "How can you, Lord Mu, please!"
Mu Linfeng then followed Zheng Zhilong to the private room on the second floor of Wangjiang Tower. The banquet had already been prepared. Zheng Zhilong gave the order and the store immediately started serving food.
Mu Linfeng did not see Zheng Chenggong among the people present. He smiled at Zheng Zhilong and said, "Why don't you see Fusong?"
Zheng Zhilong quickly smiled and said: "Oh, Fusong has something else to do and asked me to express my apology to Linfeng!"
The other brothers of Shibazhi all looked solemn. Mu Linfeng quickly picked up the wine glass and smiled at everyone: "Uncles, Linfeng is here to be the guest of honor, and I would like to toast you all!" He drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone glanced at Mu Linfeng and turned their attention to Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong laughed, picked up the wine glass, and drank all the wine in the glass. Only then did the others pick up the wine glasses and drink.
After everyone had finished drinking, Mu Linfeng took out an imperial edict from his arms, stood up and said, "Master Zheng, please accept the edict!"
The expressions of everyone present changed, and Yang Liu and Yang Qi could be seen clenching their fists, their joints creaking.
Zheng Zhilong sat expressionless. After a long time, he stood up and said to Mu Linfeng, "Linfeng, do you really want Zheng to accept the order?"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng put the imperial edict on the table and then said: "I told Mr. Yang what I wanted to say last night. I believe Mr. Yang must have conveyed my intention to you, Mr. Zheng. It depends on whether you want to accept this edict or not."
Mr. Zheng, you can decide for yourself!"
Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong glanced at the imperial edict on the table and said nothing. However, Zheng Zhibao was the first to stand up, read the imperial edict, and cursed: "What's the imperial edict? Our Zheng family has already rebelled against it, why should we accept it?"
According to the imperial edict of Bird, let me burn it..."
Zheng Zhibao said and walked to the candlestick on the side with the imperial edict. Everyone looked at Zheng Zhibao, and Mu Linfeng also looked at it with a smile.
Zheng Zhilong then patted the table and said, "Wait a minute!"
Zheng Zhibao immediately turned around and said: "Brother, what else are you thinking about? Mu Linfeng supported Zhu Cixiang and is no longer a member of our Zheng family..."
Zheng Zhilong said nothing, stood up and walked to Zheng Zhibao, took the imperial edict, opened it, took a look, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "Linfeng, is this imperial edict meant by Zhu Cihong or you?"
Mu Linfeng heard the words and smiled and said: "Of course it is what the emperor means... but it is also what I, Mu Linfeng, mean..."
Zheng Zhilong glanced at Mu Linfeng, then at the imperial edict, then threw the imperial edict aside and sneered: "If it is Zhu Cixiang's wish, Zheng can immediately lead his army to attack Jinling City. If it is Linfeng's wish, Zheng Zhilong
I’d like to ask you something!”
Mu Linfeng smiled and said, "Master Zheng, do you have any questions?"
Zheng Zhilong immediately said: "You made Zheng the Duke of Zhennan, but you didn't reward him with a fief. You also said in the imperial edict that the direct administrative power of the three southeastern provinces lies with the central government. What does this mean?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "What I want to say, Mu has already told Mr. Yang, Master Zheng should also know it well. If you want to rebel at this moment, Mu will not stop you, but Master Zheng, you
You have to understand that even if you rebel now, you are just relying on the power of the sea to run rampant in the Jiangnan waters, but Mr. Zheng, please think about it for yourself, are you sure you can win half of the inland cities?"
Before Zheng Zhilong could speak, Zheng Zhibao took the lead and sneered: "Mu Linfeng, don't forget, you unified several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, but half of the city was conquered by our brother Chen Hui and Chen. This is the first time that brother Chen can conquer.
You can beat it a second time!”
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this and said: "You are right, half of it was taken down by Mr. Chen, but you should not compare the current city with the previous city. Mr. Chen should know best!"
Mu Linfeng said and looked at Chen Hui, who was sitting silently. Zheng Zhibao and others also turned their attention to Chen Hui. Chen Hui sat silently without saying a word.
Chen Hui's speechlessness was enough to confirm Mu Linfeng's statement. When Zheng Zhibao saw this, he immediately slapped the table and said: "Even so, with our power at sea, we harass coastal cities every day, isn't it enough to make it impossible for you to live?"
Mu Linfeng sneered and said to Zheng Zhibao: "If you said that before, I would definitely be scared, but now... hehe... I can tell you that even at sea, I am fully prepared. In Mu's hands
How about the firearms? You should know that even at sea, I believe your navy will not be able to take advantage, right?"
Zheng Zhibao was speechless after hearing the words, and sat aside angrily, but Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "Mr. Yang should understand what Mu means, and Mr. Zheng, you should understand what Mu means even more. This is a meaningless fight. Mu
I really don’t want to fight with everyone here!”
Zheng Zhibao's expression changed when he heard this, he slapped the table and shouted: "When we meet in war, we meet in war. I'm afraid of you..." Zheng Zhibao said as he picked up a wine bottle on the table and threw it heavily to the ground.
Following a crisp cracking sound, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and hundreds of soldiers poured in from the door. They all held weapons in their hands and glared at Mu Linfeng. The leader was no one at the banquet.
Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong took a look at the situation in the room, and then ordered the soldiers to move forward and surround Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng didn't panic when he saw this, he sneered, then smiled at Zheng Zhilong and said: "Master Zheng, is this your way of hospitality?"
