Zheng Chenggong in Yin'an Palace is watching Xin Zixiu's letter in detail, while others are also waiting for Zheng Chenggong's decision.

Chen Yonghua, Zheng Shengying and other civil officials were literate and were Zheng Chenggong's confidant, so they could naturally understand what was written in the letter. However, the pirates under Zheng Chenggong didn't know what the letter meant, and they all slashed their heads in a hurry.

No wonder these generals were anxious. These people were complicated, including Zheng Zhilong’s old subordinates, the talents recruited by Zheng Chenggong, and the generals surrendered by the Qing army. In the past, in order to expel the Tartars, and Zheng Chenggong’s equal treatment, these generals were still obedient.

But now it's different. The Tartars have been wiped out by Zhu Hongsan. The only way to unite the generals is only legality. However, Zhu Youlang was arrested and his legality was gone. The generals immediately lost their life goals and did not know what to do next.

The generals in Zheng Chenggong's army were headed by Yang Chaodong, whose real name was Cao Wenlong. He was originally a general under Zheng Cai, but he turned to Zheng Chenggong because of his disagreement and became the military affairs of the five armies due to his merits. When Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan, Yang Chaodong stood up to the public and agreed with him. After Zheng Chenggong captured Taiwan, he specially appointed Yang Chaodong as the first prefect of Chengtian Prefecture, Taiwan, and he was also the first local prefect in Taiwan.

When Yang Chaodong saw the generals wink at him, he stood up and asked, "Prince, what is it in the letter?"

Zheng Chenggong had already read the letter at this time, and put it away without moving, and then asked: "It just says that it is all Chinese descendants. I ask if we are willing to entangle it."

At this time, one of the generals asked loudly: "Prince, do you have any official position for us?"

When everyone saw that the person was Wan Yi, the garrison general of Zhongchong, who was a rough man, but this sentence could ask some people's hearts.

Taiwan was not a good place in the late Ming Dynasty. When Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, he was forced to do nothing by Zhu Hongsan on the mainland. Many of these generals were fooled by Zheng Chenggong. In the first few years, they could still unite people's hearts because of fighting with the Dutch. However, now the war has stopped, Taiwan's life is not as comfortable as the mainland. Therefore, many of Zheng Chenggong's generals have complaints, but they dare not say it under Zheng Chenggong's high pressure.

Now Wan Yi broke the window paper, and for a moment, many people in the hall asked, "Prince, what conditions do you give us!"

Zheng Chenggong saw that the formal negotiations had not yet begun, and his generals began to become unstable. Zheng Chenggong's face was a little unfair at this time.

Zheng Chenggong's generals were divided into three parts, among which his father Zheng Zhilong's old subordinates were the most loyal. These people were headed by the Right Army of the Navy and the Governor of the Navy Hong Xu. Seeing the noise of the generals in the hall, he couldn't help but stand up and scolded: "What are you doing? You forgot who is the leader? Let's discuss this now. Do you take the prince seriously?"

Hong Xu originally thought that his old qualifications could defeat these guys, but the only one who listened to him was the generals under Zheng Zhilong. The new generals and the generals who surrendered to the Qing army were not afraid of him.

The town general Huang Wu stood up and cursed: "Hong Xu, what are you? Don't think that you are old and say anything, but the prince didn't say anything, and why did you open your mouth?"

Huang Wu's scolding made a big fuss. Hong Xu is the oldest general under Zheng Chenggong and has a very strong position in the former Zheng Zhilong genus. At this time, a general stood up and cursed: "Huang Wu, what are you? A fisherman, don't you get out for me!"

Although Huang Wu scolded Hong Xu, it was caused by years of conflicts in the army. Zheng Chenggong's methods were so clever that he could suppress the general's dissatisfaction. However, there were people in the world. Among these generals, Zheng Zhilong's old subordinates were the most loyal, because Zheng Chenggong was Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, and there was still a passion for incense. The second one was some talents recruited by Zheng Chenggong in Tong'an. These people surrendered to Zheng Chenggong with the mentality of defending their country at that time. They were still quite loyal. The lowest level was the generals who surrendered to the Qing army.

Most of these former Qing army generals suffered some grievances in the Qing army, or were surrounded by Zheng Chenggong and surrendered. Anyway, they were all Zheng Chenggong who surrendered to the point of not doing anything. These people were from low-born, had complicated backgrounds, and had the lowest status in the army. It was impossible to have no idea in their minds. But when the Qing army occupied Fujian, they had no choice but to surrender. Can they still surrender back if they had already surrendered?

But now it is different. The other side is also the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor is different. However, these surrendered generals do not have the noble idea of ​​defending orthodox legitimacy. Most of these people just want their wives and children to be warm-up. As long as they give themselves money and land, they don’t want to be attached to them? So these people are the most curious about that letter, and they all want to know what official positions they can give in the letter.

These people mainly include Huang Wu, deputy general of Zuoying in Zhongquan Town, Wanyi in Zhongchong Town, Wanlu brothers, Liu Jun in Qianchong Town, Yan Wangzhong in Zhiwu Town, and others.

Wan Yi was a reckless man. When he heard the general scolding him for being ignorant, he stood up and cursed: "Wu Hao, let's gossip about your mother's fart, who will be the fisherman? Are you a tragic pirate?"

Wu Hao was a pirate back then, but now he is the bestower of Yongjia, the emperor of Yongli. He hates others about his disgraceful past. Now Wan Yi scolds him for being able to endure it, and he will fight to the point of fighting. When the generals on the opposite side saw that Zheng Zhilong's old subordinates were about to take action, they also pulled out their waist swords and surrounded Wan Yi. For a moment, the hall was eyeing him and was about to rebel.

When Zheng Chenggong saw that something big was going to happen, he didn't expect that just a letter on the other side would cause chaos in his heart. What should he do now?

At this time, Chen Yonghua, who was behind Zheng Chenggong, stood up and said, "What do you want to do? You voluntarily followed the prince back then. Was there any prince coerced? General Wan, your brothers guarded Yongning Guard for the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Governor Tong Guonai threatened you, who took you in? General Liu, who was defeated and surrounded by the city of Nanjing, and who asked the prince to take you in? Have you forgotten the poisonous oath he made when he knelt in front of the prince back then?"

Chen Yonghua's words were very powerful. These surrendered generals were forced to come back then. If Zheng Chenggong did not take them in, it would be really unresponsive. So the few people asked by Chen Yonghua took back the sword and then knelt on the ground to ask Zheng Chenggong for forgiveness.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong stood up and helped several generals up, and then said, "Don't worry, you are all my brothers, how can I forget my brothers? Let's go down first and think about what conditions are needed. I heard that Emperor Shenwu is very rich, and the seventh-rank official will have to pay 800 silver dollars a year. He will definitely not treat everyone badly on the silver land!"

The generals in the hall were all rude and didn't know that this was Zheng Chenggong's delaying plan. They all laughed and retreated to what conditions they were ready to ask for.

After the general retreated and there were civil officials left in the hall, Zheng Chenggong said with a gloomy face: "Everyone see it! The tyrant monarch Zhu Hongsan made my army unstable with a letter. Let's talk about what should I do?"

He Tingbin is now the chief of the royal palace and the head of the civil servants in name. At this time, he stood up and said, "Prince, that Zhu Hongsan has never been trustworthy. I heard that Jin Shenghuan, who had made contributions, was just a free prince to be raised in the capital. Li Chengdong's 30,000 cavalry were taken away and he was sent to Yunnan to die. So his subordinates think it's better not to be attached. Is it better for us to occupy Taiwan and establish ourselves?"

Zheng Chenggong thought about the temptation of independence. Who wouldn’t want to be an emperor? But in this way, he became Zhu Hongsan’s mortal enemy. Although he had hundreds of thousands of subjects, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and hundreds of warships, it was not enough compared to the huge Ming Dynasty. This independence was really undesirable.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Chen Yonghua, and Chen Yonghua stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely necessary to be independent! The prince's identity and strength come from the orthodox of the Yongli. If he is independent, his generals will immediately scatter! In addition, Taiwan is isolated overseas, and now there is only a population of more than 100,000 on the island, and all necessities of daily life depend on the mainland. If the prince is independent, there is no need to fight any war. As long as smuggling is strictly prohibited from Taiwan, we will not be able to stand it in a few years!"

Chen Yonghua was right, that is, in the original time and space, the Zheng family also had the most powerful navy in Asia, and there was no way to do anything under the Qing Dynasty's policy of sealing off the pass and banning the sea. In the end, Zheng Kezhan could not hold on anymore and had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Chenggong thought about it and Chen Yonghua was right, but he still didn't give up in his heart just surrendering like this.

"Fu Fu, you have an idea. How should I do this king to achieve the best interests?"

Chen Yonghua sighed in his heart. In fact, he really hoped that Zheng Chenggong would be attached to him. After all, they were all Chinese. In addition, Chen Yonghua was deeply poisoned by Confucianism for a long time, so he still valued great unification. But now Chen Yonghua is Zheng Chenggong's adviser, so he has to find an idea for his master to solve his problems.

Chen Yonghua continued: "Prince, we can learn from Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan. After all, Prince has expanded territory for the Ming Dynasty, and this contribution should be given to a prince!"

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he was good, and it was also good to maintain his own small world under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

"Fufu, what should you do if you want to tell me in detail?"

"Prince, if you want to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, you must have two points. The first is to enhance your own strength! Although the prince is now claiming to be armed with 100,000 armor, most of the troops are in the hands of Zheng Lian and Zheng Cai, so the prince will solve Zheng Lian and Zheng Cai within these few months! The second point is internal stability! The prince also saw the scene in the hall just now. If the internal unstable is easily given an opportunity for outsiders!"

The generals just now were indeed a bit too much. Zheng Chenggong thought about it and nodded, and asked, "Fu Fu, these are all easy to deal with, but I lack time! How can I buy time for me?"

Chen Yonghua said: "This is simple. If Yang Chao sends a letter to the prefect, he says he wants to negotiate, but your prefect is too low. You send a senior official from the central government. Fujian is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and each communication takes more than a month. Isn't it time to have this?"
