Soon, Zheng Zhibao was led into the study and saw Gao Huan sitting behind the Huanghuali table wearing a regular dress and wearing a winged crown.

Zheng Jun failed to block the attack in Gutianxi, and the Zheng family in Fuzhou and other places could only transfer some gold, silver and treasures, many valuable furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and large items that could not be taken away, and all of them were cheaper Gao Huan.

"Sinner Zheng Zhibao, pay homage to His Highness King Liang!" Zheng Zhibao hurriedly saluted Gao Huan.

Gao Huan looked at him and raised his hand and said, "General Zheng, please get up, sit down and talk about it!"

Zheng Zhibao stood up in panic and sat down nervously, not daring to move his body or glance around his eyes.

As Zheng Zhilong's brother, Zheng Zhibao has a very high status in the Minyue Kingdom, but when facing Gao Huan, he is as restless as a primary school student.

Gao Huan smiled slightly, "General Zheng, don't be nervous! I'm summoning you this time because I hope the general can surrender me!"

The Zheng family has great prestige in Fujian. If Gao Huan wants to stabilize Fujian, he needs to recruit a group of people from the Zheng family.

Now Gao Huan is not sure whether Zheng Zhilong will surrender. Zheng Zhibao is in his hands, so he will surrender him first and set an example for the Zheng family who went out to sea to see that they will be treated well with Liang Guo.

After all, the sea is hard, the wind and sun are blowing on the island, and typhoons and heavy rains, so the days are definitely not as comfortable as the mainland.

If Zheng Zhibao surrenders and calls are being made, the Zheng family will not be a solid person. At least, many people will surrender to the Liang Kingdom in Zheng Zhibao's house.

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Zheng Zhibao quickly stood up and bowed, kowtowed, "I am willing to surrender to the king!"

Zheng Zhibao has no right to choose now. If the prisoner below the rank can only follow Gao Huan to survive.

Gao Huan laughed, came out from behind the table, personally helped Zheng Zhibao up, and said with a smile: "With General Zheng's help, I will be more wings like a tiger, and Fujian should be worry-free!"

Gao Huan showed off his unique skills, helped Zheng Zhibao up, and then said, "General Zheng has just surrendered and has no achievements. I don't want to reward him very much! Let's do this! I will first give General Jinghai Bo. If the general can surrender the Zheng clan and his generals, I will give you the Marquis of Jinghai. If I can convince the King of Minyue to surrender, I will give you the Duke of Jinghai!"

Gao Huanming marked the price without any deception, and offered Zheng Zhibao a very generous condition.

Zheng Zhibao is not like Zheng Zhilong, and he cannot be the king. The conditions given to him by Gao Huan are actually very tempting.

Zheng Zhibao was stunned when he heard Gao Huan's words. Unexpectedly, Gao Huan would give him an earl, and with his prestige in the Zheng family, he would recruit some people and complete his performance and get the title of marquis.

Judging from the current situation, the trend of Liang State unifying the world has become. Being the lord of Liang State is actually good, and its status and living conditions are better than being a pirate with Zheng Zhilong.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhibao knelt on the ground again and cried bitterly, "What kind of virtue is that he is so respected by the king."

Gao Huan laughed, helped him up again, and said in a deep voice: "I want to talk to the King of Minyue, so I will have my best friend arranged it."

Zheng Zhibao immediately promised that he would persuade Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Liang State, and posted a post saying that the Zheng family had failed, and persuaded the Zheng family armed forces in Fujian to go out of Wuyi Mountain to surrender to the Liang State.

Although Zheng Zhibao was not Zheng Zhilong, he was the fifth master of the Zheng family. As soon as he spoke, some of the remaining soldiers of the Zheng army surrendered to the Liang army, and some of the people who fled to the island returned to Fujian.

After all, life on the island is hard, and there are houses and fields on the mainland. There is no need to follow Zheng Zhilong to torture himself by the wind and sun.

...

Pingtan Island.

Hundreds of thousands of Fujian military and civilians were crowded on the island and were short of any supplies. In less than half a month, they ruined the place.

After the Zheng family retreated from the sea, the army lost logistics supply and had to collect food and grass on the spot, plundering all the food of the people on Pingtan Island, causing the islanders to be resentful.

At the same time, they went out to sea to seek refuge with Zheng Zhilong's old subordinates and gentry owners on the island, and found that there was nothing on the island, and they were unable to satisfy the simplest food, clothing, housing and transportation. They didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so their mentality gradually changed.

At this time, Gao Huan sent troops to implement sea bans and patrolled the army day and night, which made Zheng Zhilong unable to obtain supplies from land. The fleet that went to Nanyang to buy grain could not come back for a while, which gradually made Zheng Zhilong fall into trouble.

Zheng Zhilong wanted to transfer the people and relatives to Taiwan Island, but was opposed by the Dutch people, which made many people unable to see the future and were shaken in their hearts.

After all, I used to living a comfortable life in Fujian before, and it would be okay to endure a few days of hardship. If they were to let them get in such a wind and rain, some people would not be able to stand it.

At this time, on Pingtan Island, the news that Zheng Zhibao defected to Liang Kingdom and was named Earl began to stir up trouble. Some of the Zheng family members, especially the tribe members of Zheng Zhibao's room, were attracted by the thoughts.

On that day, a sea boat docked on Pingtan Island. An envoy came to the palace of the King of Minyue with a letter to ask for Zheng Zhilong.

"The young man, on the order of the fifth master, sent a letter to the king!" The envoy knelt down and presented the letter.

Zheng Sen stepped forward to take the letter and submitted it to Zheng Zhilong for viewing.

Zheng Zhilong looked at it and his face was gloomy and ugly. Zheng Sen couldn't help asking: "Father, what did the fifth uncle say?"

Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and others all raised their ears. They all knew that Zheng Zhibao was captured by Gao Huan and wanted to know what Zheng Zhibao is doing now.

Zheng Zhilong kneaded the letter into a ball and said angrily: "Hmph, from now on, you don't have this fifth uncle, and the Zheng family doesn't have such a scum."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. Could it be that the rumors were true? Zheng Zhibao really defected to Gao Huan and betrayed the Zheng family?

At this time, the people of the Zheng family dared not speak out, and the generals of the other surnames dared not express their opinions on the Zheng family. A needle fell into the room for a moment.

"King! Lao Wu was captured by Gao Huan, and he had no choice but to surrender to Gao Huan." Zheng Hongkui suddenly spoke.

Zheng Zhilong said annoyedly: "It is understandable that he surrenders to Gao Huan, but he surrenders to Gao Huan's old subordinates and persuades me to surrender."

In fact, Zheng Zhilong had already received the news that Gao Huan promised Zheng Zhibao that as long as he surrendered him, he would be appointed as Duke of the State.

This annoyed Zheng Zhilong, thinking that Zheng Zhibao wanted to exchange him for title and did not treat him as his elder brother.

Zheng Zhibao surrendered without losing his high official position and his salary. If he surrendered, can he still be the king? I am afraid he will be under house arrest and even be poisoned.

Zheng Hongkui was silent for a while after hearing Zheng Zhilong's words. After all, he was a brother. He still persuaded: "The fifth brother is in Gao Huan's hands. Many things are not his original intention. The king should not be angry. This is why Gao Huan wanted to surrender the king, so he borrowed the fifth brother to write a letter to the king."

Zheng Zhilong calmed down at this time, thinking about his current situation, and was silent for a while, and asked, "Hmph, Lao Wu said Gao Huan wanted to talk to me, what do you think?"
