Chapter 309 Persuading Zheng Chenggong

After resolving the request of the Longwu court, Wang Xuejun met with Zheng Chenggong.

"My father surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, let Xianxia Pass be released, and Li Chengdong's Qing army occupied the entire Fujian and Guangzhou." Zheng Chenggong said angrily.

Zheng Zhilong's surrender forced Zheng Chenggong to lead him. A division that Xu Jie had to fund equipment for him retreated to Kinmen.

"I already know this. It's raining and my mother wants to get married. Let him go. But I can tell you solemnly that your father will not have a good end. It will be a fantasy to get the governor of Fujian and Guangdong after all."

Zheng Chenggong said angrily: "I have advised my father like this, but he just doesn't listen and is obsessed with it. So, I have burned my robes and worshiped Confucius Temple, and officially cut off the father-son relationship with my father."

"Okay, we don't talk about this, we have long wanted to have a talk with the master of Guo, but it's always a coincidence that we didn't meet successfully. I'm so happy to meet today. After we talk about the main business, let's have a good drink. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zheng Chenggong said solemnly: "The prince is now the God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty. I came here to borrow money from the God of Wealth."

Wang Xuejun laughed: "My name is not good. Since the nickname of me came out, nothing good has been made to come to me."

Zheng Chenggong also laughed: "Burn incense and kowtow to worship the God of Wealth, not for seeking wealth, is it for giving birth to children?"

"What are your plans?"

"After my father turned against me, I led my 10,000 soldiers, and the navy troops I could summon who were unwilling to follow my father to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to retreat to the Kinmen Gate. But in the small land of Kinmen, it was very difficult to supply food and ammunition. And because I had no strong water power, I could no longer collect taxes on maritime merchant ships like our family did before. So I am now poor and have few soldiers, so I asked the prince to lend a helping hand."

Wang Xuejun helped the Longwu court in the name of loan.

However, he admired Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, so he did not intend to treat him like he did to the Longwu court. Wang Xuejun really couldn't bear to part with this great talent.

Another purpose of not wanting to help him fight is to limit the Longwu court to become bigger.

According to the history of the Longwu court, and with the help of his own loans and Qi Fei, he gained a foothold in Jiangxi. If Zheng Chenggong echoed him, then the Longwu court would be too big to lose.

This is something Wang Xuejun doesn't want to see.

So he was going to dig out the corner of the Longwu court, the most important force.

"In the view of successful brothers, does the Longwu court still have hope?"

When Wang Xuejun's problem arose, it was not beyond Zheng Chenggong's expectations.

He shook his head gently: "The backbone is commendable, but big things are hard to accomplish."

"It is the wise hero who chooses the master and serves the good time. Instead of sitting on that broken boat, why not move the nest?"

Zheng Chenggong smiled miserably: "But there are also loyal ministers who do not serve the second master."

This is impossible to talk about.

Wang Xuejun shook his head helplessly: "I know that things cannot be done, but I don't want to do it, so why bother? That's not about insisting on faith, but about being confused."

Zheng Chenggong pondered for a moment: "Famous reputation is exhausting."

After hearing this, Wang Xuejun stretched out his head with hope: "How about this, let's make an agreement."

"What agreement?"

"If the Longwu court does not collapse, you will still be the national master of the Longwu court. Once the Longwu court collapses, you will surrender to Xinming. This is not an exaggeration."

Zheng Chenggong looked at Wang Xuejun solemnly: "With your strong support, will the Longwu court collapse?"

Wang Xuejun smiled faintly: "Even with my full support, I still cannot change the internal troubles of the Longwu court. As long as they continue to follow the old path of the Ming Dynasty, no matter which court appears, the final outcome will be the same.

Even with my full support, I can only barely survive. And I will not really do my best for such a small court."

Then he leaned back with a frank expression: "I might as well tell you clearly today. The reason why I support the Longwu court so much is that I either live or value the character of the Tang King. I don't want him to die at the hands of the Qing Dynasty. But that's all. At the same time, I want to use his remaining reputation and power to restrain part of the Qing Dynasty's power for me in the southwest, so that I can achieve my strategic goals in this area.

Once the pressure of flying in the southwest region is too high, or the Longwu court has no value for me to use, I will ignore it."

Zheng Chenggong looked at Wang Xuejun carefully, and finally sighed in depression: "It really fulfilled my guess. Lord Regent is really a businessman."

Wang Xuejun did not answer at all with anger: "The whole world says that I, Wang Xuejun, is a God of Wealth. When dealing with money, you have to be very careful with every penny. If you are the God of Wealth, you just don't have to go in, then where can he have money to agree to more people's requests in the future?"

Then he looked at Zheng Chenggong with his head tilted, "You have also said that loyal ministers do not serve the second master. I just treated the Longwu court. I think you absolutely think that I have the idea of ​​having three holes in the cunning rabbit, right?"

Zheng Chenggong was stunned because everyone would think so about Wang Xuejun's approach to the Longwu court.

Wang Xuejun smiled: "You and the others are wrong. Because in essence, I am the leader of this new Ming court, so there is no need to find another big tree. If the Luoyang Incident happens again, do you think I will still be controlled by others? Will you still have a way to use the emperor to command the princes?"

"Aren't you for your reputation?"

Infinitus smiled and shook his head: "In the first few years, it was necessary to pull the tiger's skin to make a big banner.

But in the past few years, the knowledgeable people in the world no longer value the banner of the Old Zhu family. They resisted the Qing Dynasty, and in essence, they had changed from anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty to purely resisting the rule of the barbarian nations over the Han nation.

From these years, you should have clearly discovered that those who rose up to resist the Qing Dynasty no longer sacrificed their lives to restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty. They were more unable to bear the Qing Dynasty's hair shaving orders to enclose land as slaves, and there was endless oppression. Haven't you seen it from the past two years? There is still a force that has rebelled all over the world to launch a Zhu family as a sign?"

These heart-killing words forced Zheng Chenggong to fall into deep thought.

"So I said that in order to adapt to the situation at that time, I chose to enter the capital and rescue the two princesses and princesses. If I were truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the world of the Zhu family. With my ability at that time, it would be impossible to steal Emperor Chongzhen, but why didn't I steal him?"

Then patted Zheng Chenggong, who was in deep thought: "A dynasty has been going through hundreds of years, but in fact it has long been decayed and declining, and should have been thrown into the garbage dump. Changing dynasties is an iron rule, and it is also progress. I don't seem to have done that, but with your intelligence and talent, what you have seen and heard in my Shandong Arsenal for three years, have you not noticed that I have changed without changing it? The current Xinming has long been not the original Daming Road. It is a brand new dynasty."
