New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 216



Today\'s Anping City is decorated with lanterns and colors. When they put 100 tables of running water in the house, they kept drinking for three days and three nights. The people nearby help the old and the young to eat wine. It\'s very lively.

The Liu family came to greet the wedding this time, and their betrothal gifts were also very rich. They loaded as many as two ships. They saw that their wedding team entered the Zheng house with all kinds of betrothal gifts.

The Liu family also knows that the Zheng family really doesn\'t lack their bride price, but the other party doesn\'t lack it. They can\'t give up their gift. They also want the woman to have face.

Now let\'s look at the way the Zheng family celebrates with lanterns and decorations. It can be seen that they also attach great importance to this marriage. They are very happy and happy. They are very happy to see Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhifeng and other brothers dressed in red and auspicious clothes standing at the door to welcome local guests to eat wine.

Liu Fuqi and the steward of the Zheng family naturally handle all kinds of traditional cultural and vulgar rites, including each link, which is in line with the etiquette and standard.

What Liu Bu wants to do is to salute several in laws immediately. For Zheng Zhibao, of course, he calls him father-in-law, but for Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhifeng, they are different. They call him lord Zheng.

After Liu Bu entered the Zheng family\'s mansion, he followed the Zheng brothers. He introduced some important subordinates, partners and local officials to him.

The Zheng family is the most powerful local people. When they marry, many local celebrities and gentry come to eat wine and celebrate, and they also give a lot of gifts. To Liu Bu\'s surprise, many of these people who come to give gifts are white people with red hair and golden hair. Among them, some are dressed as priests and soldiers, some are beaten and thrown by businessmen, and many Arabs, Their white robes are impressive.

Today\'s Zheng Zhibao is very happy. He is dressed in auspicious clothes and has a red face. He has such a daughter under his knee and looks a little different. He is still worried about her life. Now he has finally achieved his wish. He is very happy. He walks in disorder and calls and toasts to the guests.

Among these people, Liu Bu focuses on this young child named Zheng Fusong, the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong, who was born in the fourth year of apocalypse and is now 11 years old. He is just a young child studying hard in a cold window and works hard for the fame of a scholar.

Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate and became a military attache. He is the top soldier, but he certainly doesn\'t like pirates and doesn\'t want his son to be a military attache. He wants his son to study, get fame, have a decent birth and take a regular path.

This is a very famous figure in later generations. If we say Zheng Fusong now, no one knows, but when we mention Zheng Chenggong, it\'s a great figure.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Zheng Fusong was sent to Jinling to study. While Zheng Fusong entered Nanjing Imperial College for further study, Zheng Zhilong hired a famous teacher for his son to teach him to study. He followed the famous Donglin Party leader Qian Qianyi, who died for his country and threw water too cold. Qian Qianyi named him Sen, which means deep cleaning and prosperity. In order to encourage Zheng sennai, Qian Qianyi wrote big wooden characters for him. In the same year, the wandering bandits broke the capital, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain and died for his country, and the northern Ming Dynasty perished.

After the establishment of the Longwu regime, Zheng Zhilong introduced Zheng Sen to Emperor Longwu. Emperor Longwu highly appreciated Zheng Sen\'s talent. He sighed for disturbing Zheng\'s father and son and said, "I regret that there is no woman to match you, and you should be loyal to my family. Don\'t forget each other!" the emperor made a wife with his daughter, which is the highest honor in the times, just to show his love for Zheng Chenggong.

However, this is also a bit ridiculous. For more than 200 years since the Ming Dynasty, his princesses have married ordinary people, and it is stipulated that the husband of the princess is the meat son-in-law. At this time, the imperial court provides support and cannot be an official. If it is a family of dignitaries. Not yet.

Emperor Longwu gave Zheng Sen the state surname Zhu, and changed his original name Sen to Chenggong. From then on, Zheng Sen\'s name became Zhu Chenggong, because Zhu was called the state surname inside and outside the court, and ordinary people respected him as the state surname Lord.

In fact, their father and son prefer to be called Zheng Chenggong. After all, they are the eldest son of the Zheng family and inherit the family business. There is no change of surname.

This is Zheng Chenggong, who is famous all over the world.

Here they introduced familiar people to Liu bu. After they met, the two sides sat down and had dinner together.

The front hall is the Catholic Church and the middle hall is the filial piety hall. They set up more than 30 tables in the two ponds to entertain local dignitaries.

Liu Bu didn\'t dare to say anything more because he was a guest. He just did what Liu Fuqi told him to do. Anyway, he is now a bridegroom official. He is also the first time. He doesn\'t know what to do. These etiquette things are right according to the guidance of these professionals.

He is only responsible for welcoming Zheng zining back.

Anping City is extremely brilliant and grand. It has been competing with small cities. Liu Bu thought that more than ten years later, the Ming Dynasty broke down and Zheng Chenggong destroyed his family to resist the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, Anping City was under construction. More than ten years later, it was destroyed by war and fire, and the glory of that day was not seen.

Liu Bu is quite well-known. As the eldest son of the Liu family in Shandong and the future heir, even now he is also the garrison commander of Jimo camp in charge of one side. This officer is not small. You know, Zheng Zhilong offered a price for a guerrilla general before he accepted the recruitment.

Liu Buhe, as a younger generation, gave wine to his elders one by one. The Zheng family is still very brilliant and is at the most glorious moment. Zheng Zhilong is also very happy. His third brother married a woman, who is also a famous family. He drank a lot of wine.

This is also more in line with his Zheng Zhilong\'s layout. His Zheng family has now become a general trend, and all the power of shibazhi belongs to his Zheng family.

Therefore, after this step, he was also considering the separation between brothers. Sanfang was the least threat to him, because Zheng Zhibao had no children. Zheng Zhibao had no children, which meant that Zheng Zhibao couldn\'t pass on. Zheng Zhibao was in his prime of life, but he didn\'t want to marry again, which meant that his house couldn\'t pass on. Since he married his daughter, He himself also went far away to Shandong and served as the chief soldier of Dengzhou, which is also a good thing for the Zheng family.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong intended to let his son Zheng Fusong take over Zheng zining\'s fleet after Zheng zining married.

You know, Zheng zining also has military power in the family, and he is quite large.

Who knows that some unexpected things have happened, which makes him unable to keep up with the changes. The main thing is that his son Zheng Fusong doesn\'t care about it at all. What he wants is to study hard for ten years, get admitted to fame, come from a decent family, be an official, and despise Mengyin.

Zheng Shenglong has a headache. His son has only studied with his teacher for two years, which means that he values literature rather than martial arts. However, he is also a little happy, that is, he doesn\'t want to be an official by relying on his parents\' shadow, but by relying on his real strength. He is very happy to be a parent.

Another surprise to him was the successful operation of Zheng Zhibao, who became the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou. Since Zheng Zhibao became the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, he was also an important coastal defense town and needed to use the navy fleet, their father and daughter Zheng Zhibao directly led the fleet of their headquarters north to attack the anti establishment Navy, which created a fait accompli.

Zheng Zhilong originally wanted to take over this part of the fleet and meant to separate his family. In that case, he simply made a little generous and asked Zheng Zhibao to take this part of the fleet as his purpose of separating his family.

Zheng Zhilong\'s current scene is very big. Both business and officials are getting bigger and bigger, so he doesn\'t pay much attention to money. As long as his brothers are harmonious, it\'s better to have business and quantity in other things.

Zheng Zhibao took a lot of things to the north, but it did make the Zheng family honor their ancestors and spread their influence to the north. As the eldest brother of the Zheng family, that is, the patriarch, he was also very happy and gratified.

The Zheng family was founded entirely by Zheng Zhilong. He is the core figure of the Zheng family. There is no doubt about this. Therefore, it is no problem that the Zheng family\'s property belongs to him alone. He can divide the other brothers if he wants. It is a bit like the emperor playing the world. He can divide the brothers\' money, but it is absolutely impossible to divide the rivers and mountains to his brothers, Now Zheng Zhibao is a bit like splitting the earth.

Like Zhao Kuangyin, he passed on his position to his younger brother. After thousands of years, who doesn\'t say Zhao Jianyi? In fact, he won the world by seizing the position. Zheng Zhilong\'s strength in the Zheng family can\'t say that he has a brother and a brother. He has a son, and everything is passed on to his son.

Now Zheng Zhibao, the most competitive one in the family, has gone south, which can not only solve his worry, but also ensure the future stability of the Zheng family. Therefore, he has paid a lot, but he is still very happy.

Zheng Zhibao also knew his big brother\'s mind and his power. Before everything was explained and made clear to him, he couldn\'t do anything. Therefore, he dared to do it only with the consent of his brother.

Liu Bu and Zheng zining are making their own calculations and doing a lot of things, but Zheng Zhibao is different from him. He respects his big brother very much. If his big brother agrees, he will do these things, and if his big brother refuses, he won\'t do them.

He is also right. He can successfully serve as the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou army. His elder brother still supports him. He has set aside a large part of power to them, and set aside some ships and power to them. These rights and fleets were something that Liu Bu and Zheng zining wanted to play tricks to seize in the past, but now he can get them from his elder brother through aboveboard means.
