The Jinyiwei packed boxes of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and antiques onto a small boat, and sent them to the Zheng family's large ship. There were more than 5 million taels of silver, of which 2.4 million taels of silver were obtained from the Li family in Zhangjiawan before, and the remaining nearly 3 million taels of silver were the silver that the Shun army had not taken away when they broke through, and they were all left to Zhao Peng. There were more than 900,000 taels of gold, of which 800,000 taels of gold were obtained from the Li family, and the rest were left by the Shun army and given by the Qing army. There were countless other jewelry and antiques, and the estimated value was 3.6 million taels of silver. However, jewelry and antiques in troubled times were not easy to deal with, so these jewelry and antiques were difficult to discount after they arrived in Nanjing, and they could only be given to others in the future as silver used to pave the way in the officialdom.

With more than 5 million taels of silver and more than 900,000 taels of gold, it was much easier to develop after going to Nanjing. These combined were worth 14 million taels of silver. With this huge sum of money, Zhao Peng could open an iron factory, cast new cannons, and build a flintlock gun that was much more powerful than a bird gun.

There are also jewelry and antiques worth 3.6 million taels of silver, which are enough to allow Zhao Peng to open up the way in the officialdom and solve some unnecessary troubles without a knife.

When retreating, the Ming army threw away all the artillery. Anyway, Zhao Peng looked down on those old artillery. If he went to Nanjing in the future, he could build more advanced Napoleon cannons by himself. What's more, these old artillery lifespans were almost up after the war in the past few days. The lifespan of the cannons in this era was about 300 to 500. Half of these cannons had been used. It would be easy to explode if they continued to use them, so they were discarded, and it was useless anyway.

As for the two sky-storming cannons, their lifespan is about to be exhausted. Before retreating, Zhao Peng ordered Gong Xiaoda to shoot all the remaining ten shells into the Qing army camp, then put gunpowder into the cannon chamber, block the muzzle, ignite the fire door, and blow up the two cannons.

The Jinyiwei took the captive Zakana onto a small boat, and Zhao Peng also jumped into the small boat.

"Shanhaiguan, goodbye! Dorgon, goodbye! Wu Sangui, goodbye! I believe there is a chance to see you again!" Zhao Peng looked at the Qing army camp with fire in the distance and thought secretly.

"Woo, woo, woo" Zakana was tied into a rice dumpling, and his mouth was blocked by a piece of rag. He struggled desperately, and a whimpering sound came from his mouth. But he could not break free from the thick hemp rope that bound him, and could only watch the coastline get farther and farther away.

The sailors of the Zheng family were rowing the oars, and the boat Zhao Peng was riding on was heading towards Zheng Sen's central army flagship. After a while, the small sampan approached Zheng Sen's central army flagship and stopped beside the giant ship. He was surprised to find that there was a small boat parked beside the giant ship. Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e, who had left the beach before, were on the small boat. However, the prince Zhu Cilang was not seen on the small boat. It was obvious that the prince had climbed up along the net hanging on the side of the ship and left the two girls on the small boat.

"Why haven't you gotten on the big boat?" Zhao Peng jumped into the boat of two women.

"We can't get up," Fei Zhen'e said, pointing to a net hanging from the big ship, "How can we climb up?"

At this moment, a voice came from above: "Your Highness, Miss Fei, please wait for a moment. I am sending you guys to make a hanging basket. I will wait for a while and let the two girls come up."

"Who is talking above?" Zhao Peng raised his head and asked loudly in his voice.

"Zheng Sen, a student of the Imperial College in Nanjing, has a courtesy name Mingyan, and the one below is the son-in-law Duwei?" the person above replied.

Zhao Peng asked the Jinyiwei on his boat to take Zakana onto the big ship first, and then tie up several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry loaded on the boat, so that the people on the boat could be pulled up. But he was waiting on Princess Kunxing and the others' boat.

Seeing Zhao Peng returning safely, Princess Kunxing pulled Zhao Peng's arm excitedly and asked him to turn around from time to time, wanting to see if his Zhao Lang was injured. After watching for a long time, she happily leaned her head on Zhao Peng's chest and murmured: "Zhao Lang, there are too many Jiannu on the shore, but it's scaring my mother to death. As long as you are fine, I am safe, and the prince's brother are safe. If something happens to you at this time, how can I survive?"

Zhao Peng gently embraced Princess Kunxing's slender waist: "Your Highness Princess, isn't that okay? Now, we are all safe. After a while, we can get on the big ship. Once we get on the big ship, we will be safe when we arrive in Nanjing."

"Well, we are safe, and we will never be separated again!" Princess Kunxing buried her head in Zhao Peng's arms and said softly with a red face.

After a while, a hanging basket was placed on the flagship, Fei Zhen'e jumped into the hanging basket lightly, but Princess Kunxing, who had only one-arm, could not climb into the hanging basket. So Zhao Peng picked up Princess Kunxing horizontally, put it gently into the hanging basket, and then waved to the top to indicate that he climbed the big net and climbed onto the big ship. The soldiers above pulled the winch and pulled the hanging baskets the two women onto the big ship.

Zhao Peng climbed onto the big ship and saw a young general of similar age standing in front of him. He looked like a jade face, his eyes were like a star, his temples were like knife cuts, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his head was wearing a silver-white phoenix winged helmet, his silver-white fish scale armor, and a big red cloak. He looked very handsome. He thought to himself that the person in front of him must be Zheng Sen. So Zhao Peng bowed: "Young general Zhao Peng has seen General Zheng Xiao!"

Zheng Sen quickly bowed to the ground and returned a big gift: "Student Zheng Sen participated in the prince-in-law!"

Zhao Peng quickly stretched out his hands to support Zheng Sen and put his hand on his shoulder: "General Zheng Xiao is a young hero, how dare Zhao take it? If General Zheng Xiao doesn't dislike him, Zhao is willing to make a Jinlan with General Zheng Xiao Yi!"

"What General Zhao said? The son-in-law is willing to join forces with the students to make Jinlan, but the students are reluctant to ask for it." Zheng Sen was happy in his heart: the son-in-law is a great hero to save the emperor. Once the prince goes to Nanjing to ascend the throne, the son-in-law will be a minister of the dragon. In the future, he will be the eldest princess' son-in-law, and it can be said that he will be close to the emperor. Although the Ming Dynasty had the custom of restricting the son-in-law from taking control of military power, it was normal. Now the Ming Dynasty has entered a war period. Who can still care whether the son-in-law has military power? As long as he can save the Ming Dynasty, support the prince ascends the throne, and can attack the Central Plains and recover lost territory, the emperor will not care whether the person is the son-in-law or not.

The prince Zhu Cilang, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "The two heroes will appreciate each other when they meet the hero!"

Zhao Peng said to Zhu Cixuan as if he suddenly thought of something, "Your Highness, you will ask for something. I hope your Highness will fulfill it."

"But it's okay." Zhu Cilang agreed.

Zhao Peng bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, the Zheng family army is a great hero to save the throne. He has made such a great contribution. I hope that Your Highness can give General Zheng Xiao’s surname."

"Give the surname of the country? This sounds quite interesting, so I will give General Zheng's surname of the country." Zhu Cilang said with a smile.

Giving the surname of the country is not really a way to change Zheng Sen to Zhu, but an honor. In the future, others can call him the surname of the country, but Zheng Sen's descendants still have the surname Zheng.

"Since you have given the surname of the country, you still need to give it a name? Your Highness, how about you give the surname of the country?" Zhao Peng said.

Zhu Cilang smiled and nodded: "That's called success! Zhu Chenggong, okay, a good name!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for granting the student a surname!" Zheng Sen, who was wrong, should have called Zhu Chenggong, quickly knelt down and bowed.
