Chapter 5 Bloody Battle of the Yangtze River (3)

Zhu Yinglong promised this ten million taels of silver, so it was naturally used for special purposes. It was all used for naval fleet construction. After Huang Taiji was solved, he conquered the world and inserted the golden dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty into no corner of the world.

Ten million taels, such a large sum of money is a big deal, and you cannot let those corrupt officials misappropriate them. So Zhu Yinglong ordered the Ministry of Revenue and the Military Gehai Censorate to establish a supervision and management agency, referred to as the Banking Regulatory Commission, which is specially supervised the use of this money. The four major salt merchants also sent representatives to participate, and the official and private supervision were jointly supervised.

At the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, Zheng Zhibao's fleet was stationed here. The endless stream of Yangtze River flowed eastward. As soon as the war broke out on both sides of the river, there was no sign of a sampan on the river surface. On the surface of more than ten kilometers, you could smell the strong smell of gunpowder everywhere. The wind could not disperse or the waves could not be beaten.

Zheng Zhibao is in his early thirties, has bronze skin, a strong physique, and his big feet. His eyes are often exposed with vicious light. He can tell at a glance that he is a character that is not easy to mess with.

Yesterday's tentative attack gave Zheng Zhibao a very bad feeling. This was his intuition formed by being a pirate for many years. After years of pirate life, he couldn't help but develop a strong body and a sixth feeling that was sharper than ordinary people. He had feelings. This time he met a very powerful opponent.

"General Zheng, Eunuch Wei sent someone here."

"What's up?"

"I said I was asking you to discuss how to resist the enemy."

Zheng Zhibao is lustful and greedy, but he also hates Wei Zhongxian very much. In his eyes, Wei Zhongxian is just a sissy clown. I really don’t understand how the court could let such a person control him? Those high-ranking officials and ministers are shamelessly willing to be sons and grandsons. They are simply a group of clowns.

He has been here several times in Wei Zhongxian's magnificent mansion. For the first time, Wei Zhongxian also praised him several of his best beauties. It is said that he is still a palace maid, and he can even give him people to him at will. It can be seen that his young emperor and beautiful empress dowager are simply a puppet in his eyes, a toy at his mercy. Unfortunately, although Wei Zhongxian tried his best to win over him, money and beauty were never stingy, but Zheng Zhibao was not blinded by these things. Otherwise, how could Zheng Zhilong hand over the two thousand elite soldiers of the Zheng family to him, and even let him work hard for Wei Zhongxian, a castrator.

"General Zheng, congratulations on your great contribution to the court. I have submitted a report to the emperor and the queen mother for you, and promoted the title of Marquis of Jinghai and General of Cavalry." Wei Zhongxian's duck voice, who thought he was unparalleled in the world, recalled and welcomed Zheng Zhibao enthusiastically.

Zheng Zhibao is not stupid. Wei Zhongxian has appointed him as the Marquis of Jinghai. He has a great evil intention. The eldest brother Zheng Zhilong defected to him, but he has only obtained the title of Marquis of Minnan. He has only harassed the other party and was promoted from general to general of cavalry, and his title has also been raised to the same position as the eldest brother. It is obvious that he wants to split the Zheng family and hopes that he will be loyal to him. He now pretends to be grateful and leans forward and said, "Thank you for your support from Jiu Qiansui, Xia Guan Ming is very touched."

"General Zheng, I want to destroy Zhu Youjian, a traitor, the navy, in one fell swoop. Do you think there is any plan?" Seeing that Hong Chengchou was beaten and he was unable to fight back, Wei Zhongxian was extremely confident under the praise of Li Chaoqin, and he almost shouted the slogan of "Northern Expedition".
