"What benefits did Yongli...promise you?"

Zhu Yihai shook his head, "When I reach my identity, what other benefits can I have... I am just a vassal."

"Where did you promise?"

"Everything."

King Yue?

Isn't this a joke?

Yes, Yongli was called emperor, and in theory, the title could be granted, but the problem is that this is the Yixing Dynasty and the emperor.

The Yue land is under the control of Wu Zheng, which is equivalent to treating Wu Zheng as nothing.

How to not get angry?

Wu Zhengwen was furious when he heard this, "He dared?!"

Zhu Yihai said with no expression on his face, "Why don't you dare? You also advise the court to enthrone Duke Li Guokui, Gao Yimo Duke Ying, and Liu Tiren was granted Duke Wan, just a title."

Wu Zheng took a deep breath, "What did he ask you to do?"

"Neihui." Zhu Yihai said happily, "He also wanted to go north from the sea route, follow your example of sending the Wusong Navy to raid Tianjin Wei. But you must avoid your Zhoushan and Wusong Navy."

"He cannot protect himself, what strength does he have?"

"He has Zheng Sen."

Wu Zheng was stunned and suddenly remembered Wang Deren's betrayal. It turns out that this group of men wanted to bypass him, no, this is openly provoking and provoking his own corners!

"So, Wang Deren was granted the title of Qian Cangbo of Yongli Dynasty, and you also have a contribution?" Wu Zheng's eyes became cold.

"Yes." Zhu Yihai was very honest because he knew very well that he had no point in hiding the word Yongli.

"This is not a whim...it's a perfect deployment, right?"

"yes."

"But I don't understand... Zhou Simin knew that you had no possibility of shaking hands with Zhu Mei, so why did she take the risk to help you?"

Wu Zheng really couldn't figure it out. If Zhou Simin secretly helped Zhu Mai, it would make sense, but Zhu Yihai was actually in opposition to Zhu Mai. Even if Zhou Simin was pregnant for the first time, he was beaten by Zhu Yihai, causing miscarriage. He should not help Zhu Yihai when talking about public or private affairs.

Zhu Yihai replied: "I just sent someone to tell her that the royal family needs her help. She actually did nothing except money."

"Don't lie to me." Wu Zheng said coldly.

Zhu Yihai said leisurely: "Life and death are in your hands, what's the point of lying to you?"

Wu Zheng slowly turned around, "In view of your secretly seeking against Yongli, what you promised before has changed."

Zhu Yihai was very anxious, "Wu Zheng, you can't break your promise and be fat!"

"I am not a gentleman." Wu Zheng said without looking back, "You can rest assured that everything else will not change, but you can't go to Zhoushan anymore... I'll think about where to go, and I'll tell you."

Looking at Wu Zheng's back as he was leaving, Zhu Yihai cursed.

After scolding for a long time, Zhu Yihai was a little tired. He sat on the ground and pondered, suddenly raised his head and said to himself: "Is it... he going to attack the south?"

....

Wu Zheng left without looking back, indeed feeling a crisis.

I returned to Shaoxing Prefecture five years ago and thought about Fu Ming.

Five years later, he had the eleven palaces under his command, and Wu Zheng wanted to coexist with the Ming Dynasty.

Nothing else, it is for the concept of one plus one greater than one.

This is true for Dashun and the remnants of the Daxi Rebel Army.

The same is true for Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong).

Unite all forces that can be united and fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Although I have had many bonds along the way, overall, I have survived it.

A corner of Jiangnan, which was almost without any danger, was built by Wu Zheng to become a hard bone that the Qing army could not chew.

But at this time, Wu Zheng realized that this set of ideas could no longer be used and would not work.

The era of uniting all the forces that can be united to fight against the Qing Dynasty will never be returned.

When it is as dangerous as it is, everyone is thinking about survival. Therefore, Wu Zheng's concept was accepted, and at least no one dared to take the blame and object to the world.

But now, the situation is beginning to stabilize.

The Yixing Dynasty signed a truce treaty with the Qing court.

Zheng Sen failed to attack Fujian, so he settled for the second best. He accumulated strength around Penghu Island, which was further south. However, the Qing army of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, which was restrained by eastern Zhejiang, had no interest or energy to seize the coastal islands with Zheng Sen, which gave Zheng Sen great room for development.

Zheng Sen gathered to the greatest extent, integrated the old subordinates of his father Zheng Zhilong, and even executed his uncle Zheng Lian, and seized the army in Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian and controlled Xiamen. This led to the previous Northern attack, intending to use Wu Zheng's army to recover Fujian.

However, Wu Zheng politely rejected this proposal. Zheng Sen was secretly annoyed and relied on his strong troops and raised an independent army, but ended up suffering a great defeat.

This great defeat caused great damage to Zheng Sen's power. The biggest impact was that the former Guangdong Admiral Li Chengdong (the main murderer of the Three Massacres of Jiading) surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again, which brought nearly 70% of Guangdong's land under the control of the Qing army.

Zheng Sen understood that he could not attack from the north from the land. To put it simply, he could not defeat him.

The Zheng family was born as a pirate and was proficient in water warfare and land warfare, which was very unbearable.

Previously, he had more than three times his troops and arrived at the city of Fuzhou twice, but was beaten by the Qing army to a great damage to his vitality and had to retreat.

In addition, Zheng Sen really has no military talent, so it is no wonder that although he was born as a pirate, his family has no military background and has not fought many battles. It is indeed very difficult to create a generation of famous generals.

The large number of troops under his command does not mean that he has combat effectiveness.

It’s okay to fight a good battle, but if you really want to command an army of more than 100,000 people, Zheng Sen really doesn’t have the ability to do so.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Zheng Sen to choose to go north by sea.

Originally, even if Wu Zheng knew Zheng Sen's purpose, he would not stop him and could even provide some help.

But what Wu Zheng did not expect was that Zheng Sen adopted a conspiracy against himself.

This is something that Wu Zheng absolutely cannot tolerate.

Wu Zheng admires Zheng Sen's thirty years of anti-Qing career in history, but this does not mean that Wu Zheng recognizes Zheng Sen's mind and ability.

In fact, Wu Zheng was very disagreeing with Zheng Sen's character and talent in his heart.

In history, Zheng Sen organized three maritime northern expeditions, and suffered losses of troops and generals.

The most ridiculous one was that the Qing army did not spend a single soldier or a single arrow, and thousands of warships in Zheng Sen encountered a storm on the way, with ships destroyed and people killed and injured tens of thousands of people, and had to withdraw.

A large-scale military operation of more than 100,000 people, was born as a pirate, and the sailors were all coastal. Isn’t it ridiculous to have such a huge storm or have no response plan to cause the collapse of the entire army?

The last Northern Expedition made people sigh. The tens of thousands of troops almost failed to encounter any decent resistance from the Qing army. They entered the Yangtze River and were at the Yingtian Prefecture City. At that time, there were only less than 10,000 Qing defenders in Yingtian Prefecture City.

With such a huge gap in troops and the morale of Zheng's army, the Han people along the way were all helping each other. They could really be said to be a matter of being able to capture Nanzhili.
