In the backyard of the Taishi Mansion, hundreds of soldiers were on high alert.

Zheng Zhilong looked solemn, watching a middle-aged man with a shaved hair standing in front of him. He was white and fat, his eyes were squeezed into a thin line by the fat on his face. He smiled very kindly, but his eyes revealed a little sinister and cunning.

The visitor was the envoy sent by Duoduo, Huang Xiyin, the right assistant minister of the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of War. He was from Jinjiang, Fujian and a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty. He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing. Because he was familiar with Zheng Zhilong, he was sent to persuade Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

"Brother Yiguan! Don't be fine!" Huang Xiyin smiled all over his face.

Zheng Zhilong had already had contact with the Qing envoys, but the Longwu court could still maintain it before. Fujian had eastern Zhejiang as a barrier, and the Qing Dynasty could not threaten Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong was only bargaining with the Qing Dynasty and did not make up his mind to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

After all, the Zheng family controlled the Longwu Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong was the actual master of the Longwu court, the real king of Fujian. He had no need to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and become a slave to others.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong’s previous contact with the Qing Dynasty was only stopped at negotiations and did not take real action.

However, the situation is different now.

Duoduo's army was approaching Taizhou, Wenzhou, and once the Zhejiang troops were finished, Fujian was directly exposed to the Qing army.

Zheng Zhilong did not have the confidence to compete with the Qing army. The key was that he did not want to revive the world. Whether the Ming Dynasty would perish or not has much to do with him. All he wanted was to continue the Zheng family's foundation.

Since this is the case, the Ming Dynasty is no longer possible. If it is the Qing Dynasty, the Zheng family will continue to be the head of Fujian. Anyway, the Zheng family has not suffered any losses. Why bother betting on life for the Zhu family and spending the Zheng family's money?

Zheng Zhilong looked at the person in front of him and was not surprised. Huang Xiyin and he were old acquaintances. He was once the high position of Minister of Rites in the Ming Dynasty. The Qing court sent him here, indicating that he really wanted to surrender him.

Zheng Zhilong winked, and the butler knew how to leave the study and brought the door with him.

"Brother Huang, what's your intention to come here?" Zheng Zhilong asked Huang Xiyin to take his seat, and then asked knowingly.

Huang Xiyin's fat face was full of a wretched smile, "Brother Yiguan, you and I are old acquaintances, I will tell you straight to the point."

Huang Xiyin stood up and pointed at Jiangshan and said, "As far as today is concerned, the general trend is in the Qing Dynasty. In a few months, it has been occupied by our Qing Dynasty. In the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army will be destroyed! Who in this world can stop the Qing army? It can be seen that our Qing Dynasty is the destiny of heaven! Huang came here this time, and he was ordered by Prince Yu. I hope that my brother will see the situation clearly and surrender to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible!"

Zheng Zhilong knew that Huang Xiyin was telling the truth and said in a deep voice: "Why is King Yu going to recruit me?"

Huang Xiyin smiled when he heard the words: "As long as one official surrenders, the governor of Fujian will be the official!"

Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly and said, "Brother Huang may not know that the envoy from eastern Zhejiang has just arrived in Fujing. Your Majesty has summoned me and asked me to send troops to reinforce the Zhejiang army! Besides, my Fujian is easy to attack. Brother Huang said that the general situation is in Qing Dynasty, and I don't think it will be possible!"

After saying that, Zheng Zhilong put on a cold expression.

Huang Xiyin hurriedly smiled and said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and good birds choose trees to live in. Now the world is in chaos, and all talented people are looking for a wise ruler to return. Prince Yu knew that a man held 100,000 soldiers and had thousands of ships in the sea. He was a hero of the world, so he sent me to persuade him. Why didn't a good man know the current affairs? I just ask one question, since ancient times, there have been people who have fought against the world with a corner of Fujian?"

As he said that, Huang Xiyin became serious, "Brother, you and my old acquaintance, how could I harm you? I really don't want you to go the wrong way. If you surrender to the Qing Dynasty, you will immediately be a high-ranking official and generous title. If you are stubborn and unable to become a burial for the Southern Ming Dynasty in the end, that would be so unwise! At that time, all Huang can do is to restrain your family's body!"

Zheng Zhilong was furious when he heard the Yu and slapped him on the table, "You are bullying me too much!"

When Huang Xiyin heard the words, he was not anxious. Instead, he narrowed his smile and said, "Wang's heartfelt words, if a official brother doesn't want to hear them, then Huang will say goodbye!"

After saying that, Huang Xiyin made a move and wanted to leave. Zheng Zhilong hurriedly stood up and reached out to stop him, "Let's wait!"

Huang Xiyin said proudly: "Brother Yiguan changed his mind?"

Zheng Zhilong frowned and said, "If Prince Yu sincerely recruits me, why would he only give me a governor? This is very difficult for me to deal with!"

A governor, who gave so little, made it difficult for Zheng Zhilong to give up his current identity and work for the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Xiyin laughed, "Prince Yu knows that a Guan brother is a businessman. If the price is too high at the beginning and the price is increased, what should the prince do? As long as the official brother is willing to demote, the official title can be negotiated!"

...

In Fengshuling, Taizhou, the Qing army attacked fiercely for several days, and suffered heavy losses, but failed to break through the Ming army's defense line.

In fact, there is not only one route to attack Taizhou. However, taking other roads requires detours and crossing mountains. There must be a defense of the Ming army, so the Qing army fought with the Ming army in this Fengshu Ridge.

In the big tent, Boluo lowered his head and reported, "Prince, the army has already attacked the mountain today. Zhang Manzi has suffered a lot of losses, so he probably can't defend it anymore!"

"Half a month ago, you just told me!" Duoduo was a little dissatisfied.

At this time, a general picked up the tent and said, "Prince, Huang Xiyin is back!"

Duoduo smiled and said, "Let him in!"

Soon after, Huang Xiyin got in, then slapped his sleeves, whispered a thousand-year-old man, and said with a standard tribute: "I pay homage to the prince and pay tribute to the prince!"

Seeing him feeling dull, Duoduo showed a pleasing look on his face and smiled, "Where did Zheng Zhilong agree?"

"The prince is wise!" Huang Xiyin hurriedly said with a smile: "Zheng Zhilong promised to surrender, but he wanted the Qing Dynasty to make him king and take charge of Fujian and Guangdong!"

Duoduo suddenly asked, "I heard that Zheng Zhilong makes tens of millions of profits from sea every year, is there any such thing?"

Huang Xiyin was stunned and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are more than tens of millions!"

Duoduo sneered on his face, "You go and tell Zheng Zhilong that there is no problem in being appointed as the king and the governor of Fujian and Yue. As long as he captures Zhu Lujian, the Qing Dynasty will agree to his conditions!"

Huang Xiyin's heart was terrified, realizing that Duoduo was obviously lying to Zheng Zhilong, but he still smiled and took the order and said, "Don't worry, prince, I will convince Zheng Zhilong!"

Duoduo nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand: "You have worked hard all the way, the Qing Dynasty will not treat you badly, go and rest first."

Huang Xiyin hurriedly bowed and left the tent. Duoduo was in a good mood and didn't blame Boluo. As long as Zheng Zhilong did not send troops, the Qing Dynasty invaded Taizhou, it was only a matter of time, and he was no longer in a hurry.

At this moment, Kong Youde picked up the tent and said in a panic: "Prince, something is not good. Governor Hong urgently reported that the pirate Zhao Ming and the Taihu thief Li Chengdong rushed into the Yangtze River, trapped Chongming, destroyed Zhenjiang, and came to Nanjing City!"

Duoduo jumped up in shock, "What did you say?"
