"This can be considered." Wu Zheng thought for a while and nodded, "After all, both sides are mutually beneficial. Zheng Sen guarantees the safety of the merchant ships in eastern Zhejiang. It is a way to repay the favor. Of course, I should have come and go... However, you have to tell Zheng Sen not to think about digging my corner, otherwise, there will be no next time."

Wu Zheng pointed out that Zheng Chenggong was recruiting Wang Deren and drew property that originally belonged to the Finance Department from Wang Deren's robbery.

Chen Yonghua naturally understood and nodded, "Students must report to me... Then what about the soldiers and ships led by Shi Lang before, should we return this to our side?"

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "I have said that the forced melon is not sweet, and people have turned their backs. What's the use of taking them back? There are tens of millions of people in Fujian and Guangdong, and Zheng Sen is still afraid that they will not be able to find a man? Since these people have turned against each other in front of Zheng Sen and returned them, they will not be punished by Zheng Sen. Why bother?"

"Yes... but..." Chen Yonghua stuttered rarely. In fact, he also understood that Wu Zheng was right. At this time, if you want someone back, you may not be able to escape Zheng Chenggong's severe punishment, and even harm your family.

Wu Zheng said: "Chen Yonghua, I know you are a wise man... Let's put it this way, you won't go back to your family. Zheng Sen should not move. If you move, it is equivalent to forcing me to march south. However, I can return the seventy or eighty ships brought by Shi Lang to Zheng Sen. Of course, the three ships of people captured by our army in Taishan can be denied, and the people have to return them. This should be considered my sincerity, how about it?"

Chen Yonghua smiled bitterly. The captured people refused to let go, and the captured people had to return them. Is there such sincerity?

However, Chen Yonghua knew that there were not many captured people in Taishan, more than 100. I think Zheng Chenggong really didn't like this, and these people had no intention of surrendering to Zheng Chenggong.

Instead of taking on some unfaithful people and offending Wu Zheng, it would be better to exchange dozens of ships, which would be more in line with Zheng Chenggong's thoughts.

Chen Yonghua hesitated for a while and replied: "Students have to rush back to report to my king. This matter requires my king's consent to reply to Your Highness."

Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Why don't you go back and report it quickly?"

Chen Yonghua responded quickly, bowed, and turned his head out.

At this time, Wu Zheng said behind him: "Tell Zheng Sen that Zheng Zhiguan had colluded with Dorgon before the New Year. This battle was not all about robbing merchant ships under Zheng Sen's orders, but intentionally provoking the filth between me and Zheng Sen... Let Zheng Sen take care of himself, don't be used as a gun envoy by the slut around him. Of course, Zheng Sen can also disbelief, so just pretend I didn't say it."

When Chen Yonghua heard this, his figure suddenly froze. He turned around and looked at Wu Zheng and said, "Does His Highness the King of Wu have any evidence?"

Wu Zheng waved his hand casually and said, "Zheng Zhiguan was killed by Zheng Cai. Although there is no evidence of death, many of the captured people are Zheng Zhiguan's confidants. Their confessions should be accepted... If Zheng Sen wants these people, I can send them to him."

Chen Yonghua was stunned. He knew that Wu Zheng would not lie about this because it was completely unnecessary.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yonghua bowed to Wu Zheng solemnly, "Thank you for your advice from His Highness the King of Wu."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wu Zheng looked at his back and thought to himself that no matter how powerful a person is, he is just an ordinary person before he becomes successful.

However, I had a good impression of Chen Yonghua. Wu Zheng showed a smile on his lips. If he brought Chen Yonghua to his side, would he see him every day? "If you don't know Chen Jinnan, it's useless to call him a hero." Is it an exception to him? Wu Zheng couldn't help but be amused by the evil taste in his heart.

Ma Shiying, who was next to him, finally had the opportunity to speak. He looked at Wu Zheng with regret and said, "Seventy or eighty boats, the prince gave up just like that? If Uncle Wang was there, he would probably have to make trouble again."

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and snorted, "He dares?! I am not afraid of him, but heartbroken. He has indeed invested a lot in this battle, so no matter what, I have to leave the fifty ships in the Diaoyu Island waters to compensate him. Otherwise, those ships will have to be returned to Zheng Chenggong, which is equivalent to a foe, haha... Lao Ma, I am giving up today, and I have said such unreasonable things with shamelessness."

Ma Shiying laughed and said, "The prince is naturally the most reasonable... But the situation is not as good as others, and King Yanping probably has to accept it. Unfortunately, this is the only way to be Xiao Shengyi."

Wu Zheng blushed and shouted: "Go out!"

....

Wu Zheng really doesn't want to force Zheng Chenggong too much.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong lost the navy, not the army, otherwise it would be difficult for Wu Zheng to cut his flesh.

The facts were as Ma Shiying estimated, and Zheng Chenggong agreed to Wu Zheng's request.

Whether he was reluctant or persuaded by Chen Yonghua, he agreed anyway.

The two sides signed a peace agreement similar to that of the sea near the Seven Star Island.

The main content is that with the Pumen East as the boundary, the navy on both sides shall not cross the boundary without authorization. Each of them shall not provoke provocations, and shall have the obligation to protect the merchant ships under the other side.

The fleet that Shi Lang took away before was returned to Zheng Chenggong. At the same time, the captured personnel on both sides were free to stay or repatriate, and neither side was allowed to deliberately stop them.

Zheng Chenggong did not meet Wu Zheng in the end, but led the fleet back to Chaoyang in the end. Because Jieyang was in an emergency, Zheng Chenggong needed to return to command immediately.

The agreement was signed by Chen Yonghua and Zheng Chenggong's Wang Yin.

When Chen Yonghua left, Wu Zheng smiled and said to Chen Yonghua, "After going back, pay attention to Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan."

Chen Yonghua was shocked. He was very puzzled. He knew Feng Xifan. Feng Chengshi, the father of Feng Xifan, was a worker officer under Zheng Chenggong (the official office that manages handicrafts, craftsmen, apprentices, etc.), but he had no intersection with him at all.

Besides, who is Liu Guoxuan?

Chen Yonghua really didn't know him. He wanted to ask, but Wu Zheng had already waved his hand and left.

So, Chen Yonghua left with all his questions and the fleet returned by Wu Zheng.

At this point, a war that almost lost control finally came to an end.

Although Wang Yilin's army suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, more than 600 people were killed in battle, missing and drowning, if Zhang Mingzhen had not reached Taishan in time and then returned to the Qixing Island waters, the number of casualties would have probably doubled.

More than half of Wang Yilin's more than 20 main warships have been damaged in this battle. Fortunately, the surrendered Zheng family navy has increased its strength a lot.

In order to appease Wang Yilin, Wu Zheng promised to provide him with a new type of artillery replacement and formally appointed Wang Yilin as the general of Chen Qianshan Naval Division. As a result, Wang Yilin's pirate career was completely over before it even began.
