Zheng Cai suddenly became depressed.

Since he was rescued by the Wusong Navy on board, he has looked depressed.

No wonder, as a flagship, as the main general, he fell into the water and no ship turned back to save him.

No one can accept this fact.

This is a very dangerous signal, that is, he was abandoned by the navy.

Not only Zheng Zhiguan's people abandoned him, but also his direct confidant.

Wu Zheng ignored Zheng Cai's expression.

In Wu Zheng's opinion, Zheng Cai is just a living dead person.

Because Zheng Cai killed Zheng Zhiguan, it was equivalent to extermination from Zheng Chenggong. Wu Zheng had no interest in such a person who had a rebellious bone behind his head.

"Do you want to die or live?" Wu Zheng asked expressionlessly.

Zheng Cai replied mutely: "Even ants are greedy for life, they naturally want to live."

"Is there a way to control the navy fleeing to the Northeast?"

Zheng Cai looked at Wu Zheng in shock and smiled bitterly: "If I could still control it, why did I end up in such a field?"

Wu Zheng was not disappointed. In fact, he had guessed it in his heart, but he just asked casually unwillingly.

"Does King Yanping want to make the Zheng family navy enter eastern Zhejiang?"

Zheng Cai shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

"Nonsense!" Wu Zheng shouted in a deep voice, "If you don't have this intention, why would you rob my merchant fleet? If you are not honest, don't blame me for throwing you into the sea!"

Zheng Cai was also anxious, "King Wu calmed down. At this time, I dare not deceive you... King Yanping did have the intention to counter you. That was because you cut off the Zheng family naval army's trade channel to the north. Now that the Zheng family naval army wants to trade with the north, they can only go around Japan and then pass through North Korea to enter Dagukou. In this way, the profit will be reduced by at least half. Zheng Zhiguan did say that he had received the order of King Yanping, but the Yanping people were in Chaoyang. I am afraid that Zheng Zhiguan wanted to plunder himself by taking advantage of the prince's name."

Zheng Cai was really unaware of it. Although he was a clan brother with Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong did not regard him as his own. After all, Zheng Chenggong assassinated Zheng Cai's brother and stole the military power of Xiamen and Zheng Cai. Naturally, he would not regard Zheng Cai as his own person.

Therefore, although Zheng Cai was appointed as the deputy position of Zheng Zhiguan by Zheng Chenggong, he had no military power at all.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Are you willing to persuade the surrender and escape the navy? If you are willing, I can give you a way to live, otherwise you only have one way, that is, I will hand you over to King Yanping for our personnel who were captured in Taishan on the eve of the previous day."

Zheng Cai smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, Zheng is willing to join the King of Wu, but the King of Wu must have known that this navy is mostly from Zheng Zhiguan. If they can abandon me, they will definitely not recognize me as the chief general... King of Wu, I don't want it, but I can't."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. I have asked clearly the situation. At that time, the Wusong Navy had approached ten miles away. If they saved you, they would not be able to escape... When things were too urgent, they naturally thought of protecting themselves first. As the saying goes, people will not be punished by themselves, and they will be punished by heaven and earth. If you persuade them to surrender, there will be a chance."

Wu Zheng's words were like giving Zheng Cai a shot of a cardiotonic agent, and Zheng Cai's spirit suddenly became different.

"King of Wu... are these words serious?"

Wu Zheng was bored, but he needed to use him, so he had to deal with it: "Of course, take it seriously."

"If Zheng persuaded surrender successfully, how would the King of Wu settle this navy... and Zheng?"

Wu Zheng looked at Zheng Cai coldly and said, "Let's talk about it if you succeed."

But Zheng Cai refused to respond, "I would like to ask the King of Wu to make it clear... In this way, Zheng would use this to convince the navy soldiers."

Wu Zheng paused and waved his hand and said, "I want to think about it...you go down and wait first."

After Zheng Cai was taken down, Zhang Mingzhen, who had been listening to the side, asked in surprise: "The prince really wants to recruit that navy? But in this way, how could Zheng Chenggong give up?"

Wu Zheng looked at Zhang Mingzhen and said, "In your eyes, what kind of person I am... Don't be perfunctory, tell the truth!"

Zhang Mingzhen was stunned and then solemnly replied: "In the heart of the general, the prince is a hero!"

"Hero?" Wu Zheng raised his head and smiled, then lowered his head, and said with a strange expression, "Have you ever seen a hero who doesn't keep his word?"

Zhang Mingzhen was shocked, what does this mean?

He really doesn't understand.

Wu Zheng said leisurely: "A gentleman deceives him for the sake of the situation, and a villain lures him for profit. I am not interested in Zheng Cai, nor is I interested in that fleet. What I am interested in is how to prevent Zhoushan and Wusong Navy troops from being bloodless and resolve today's affairs."

Zhang Mingzhen suddenly realized something, but he opposed it: "Prince, Mingzhen has a saying in his heart, don't you know whether to say it or not?"

"speak."

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Although the sea is wide, it is difficult to accommodate Zhoushan. Wusong Navy and Zheng Family Navy coexist... There must be a battle between the prince and the King of Yanping."

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Mingzhen continued: "Today, the one who escaped was at least 30% of the main force of the Zheng family's navy. Even if the prince was not interested in it, he should not bow to others and put them back to the south. This is equivalent to acquiring the enemy."

Wu Zheng frowned.

"In the view of the last general, it is best to recover. In this way, one will be reduced and the other will rise. What strength does King Yanping have to dare to be an enemy of the prince?"

Wu Zheng finally spoke, "Why would Wang Yilin give up?"

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Killing Zheng Cai can not only calm the resentment in Wang Yilin's heart, but also comfort the morale of the soldiers who escaped from the navy, killing two birds with one stone."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "If Wang Yilin wants to destroy this navy, how could he kill Zheng Cai?"

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Prince, what Wang Bo Ye wants is not to destroy the navy... I dare to ask the prince, Wang Bo Ye takes a big risk and acts without permission. What is it for? It is nothing more than the warship of the Zheng family's navy. If the prince incorporates this navy, puts it under Wang Bo Ye, and then kills Zheng Cai, Wang Bo Ye will naturally be at peace. Just imagine, can he still burn the warships that are already his own? Or will he order the killing of these soldiers who are already his?"

Wu Zheng felt a little moved, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Mingzhen said: "This not only appeases Wang Boye, but also avoids casualties between Zhoushan and Wusong Navy, but also shocks King Yanping. It can be said that he can win three goals in one fell swoop."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Go and ask Wang Yilin what he meant, and then talk back."

"I will obey the order."

Seeing Zhang Mingzhen leaving the cabin, Wu Zheng sat down.

The four words "One rises and the other falls" in Zhang Mingzhen's speech really touched Wu Zheng.

Indeed, this escaped navy almost all the main battleships, accounting for 30% of the Zheng family navy.

Even if the artillery on the ship is outdated, it is a large warship, right?

Weapons that can kill are all good weapons.

When no one is killed, he still thinks that the weapon to kill himself is too simple.
