Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 286 Zheng Zhilong Visits

It has been several days since the first issue of "Da Ming Times" was released.

Although time has passed for several days.

But the enthusiasm of the people in the capital to discuss the "Daming Times" has not weakened in the slightest.

On the contrary, there is a growing trend.

National Teacher's Office.

After Chen Fan listened to Steward Wang's report, the smile on his face never stopped.

This shows that the distribution of "Daming Times" was very successful.

It seems that handing over the Propaganda Department to Yinyin is a very successful decision.

Yinyin is busy with the opera department during this time, and is recruiting opera troupes on a large scale throughout the city.

Presumably in the past two days, the shelves of the opera department can be set up.

With such a heavy workload, Yinyin should be almost exhausted!

Yinyin is a strong general that Chen Fan values ​​​​and cannot fall.

Think of this.

Chen Fan prepared some nutritional products and asked Steward Wang to deliver them to Yin Yin.

And I specifically asked Butler Wang that Yinyin was sleepy, tired, and had no energy. At this time, the effect of taking nutritional supplements would be the best.

Steward Wang didn't waste any time, and went to find Yinyin with the nutritional supplements.

Butler Wang left quickly and came back quickly.

After all, Yinyin works in Daming Royal Primary School, not a few steps away.

After Steward Wang came back, he reported Yinyin's work to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan nodded from time to time, and was very satisfied with Yinyin's work.

After Butler Wang reported on Yinyin's work, he continued:

"Master, when I returned home after delivering the gifts, I met a man at the door, and he asked to see the young master!"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and couldn't think of anyone who wanted to see him?
Chen Fan looked at Butler Wang and asked in confusion:

"Did he say who he is?"

Butler Wang nodded.

"Back to the young master, yes, he said his name is Zheng Zhilong. And he also said that as long as the young master hears this name, he will see him."

A gleam of joy flashed across Chen Fan's face.

It turned out that Zheng Zhilong came to the capital.

Chen Fan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to come so quickly.

However, Chen Fan calculated the time carefully, and Zheng Zhilong arrived in Beijing around this time.

Chen Fan thought of something and asked:

"Zheng Zhilong came here alone?"

Butler Wang shook his head and responded:

"Zheng Zhilong brought a large group of people to the National Teacher's Mansion. Looking at the number of people, there are at least two or thirty people."

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, so many people?

However, Chen Fan immediately thought of something.

These people may all be Zheng Zhilong's confidantes.

It seems that Zheng Zhilong has brought all his confidantes to the capital, and his determination is not insignificant. He is going all out!

Through this point, Chen Fan once again confirmed that Zheng Zhilong's determination to surrender was sincere and not a false surrender.

Then, Chen Fan remembered Zheng Zhilong's last letter saying that he would bring all the wealth accumulated over the years to Beijing, and then dedicate all 5000 million taels of silver to him.

Chen Fan thought, wondering if Zheng Zhilong brought his wealth with him when he came to Beijing this time.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan looked at Steward Wang and asked:

"Apart from Zheng Zhilong bringing a large group of people, did he bring anything else?"

Butler Wang nodded and said:
"Back to the young master, yes, Zheng Zhilong also brought a lot of big carriages. There are big boxes on the carriages. I don't know what's in the boxes?"

Chen Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It seems that Zheng Zhilong kept his promise and really brought 5000 million taels of silver.

Chen Fan said happily:
"Quick, hurry up and invite Zheng Zhilong over here."

Since Zheng Zhilong came to give money, naturally Chen Fan's attitude towards the pirate leader was much better.

As the saying goes, cannibals are soft-mouthed, but short-handed.

Steward Wang went to announce Zheng Zhilong with a puzzled expression on his face.

Butler Wang was very curious about what was in the box that Zheng Zhilong brought that made the young master so excited.

It seems that the young master knows exactly what is in the box.

Soon, Steward Wang brought a large group of Zheng Zhilong over.

After a large group of people entered the living room, under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, they all bowed to the Imperial Master.

Look at the neatly arranged group of people below.

Chen Fan stared at the elegant middle-aged man in the middle and asked:

"You are Zheng Zhilong?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised when he saw Zheng Zhilong's appearance for the first time.

I thought that Zheng Zhilong, as a pirate leader, must have a vicious look.

did not expect.

When I saw him today, he turned out to be an elegant literati.

I don't know, I thought Zheng Zhilong was a scholar!
Zheng Zhilong responded respectfully:
"Returning to the country, the villain is Zheng Zhilong."

Now that Zheng Zhilong has decided to surrender to the National Teacher, it is only natural that his attitude should be lowered.

Chen Fan nodded and said with satisfaction:
"You brought so many people to the capital to surrender?"

Chen Fan made a final confirmation.

Zheng Zhilong replied respectfully:
"If you go back to the teacher, the villain did indeed bring his brothers to the capital to surrender."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhilong took out a document from his arms.

"National teacher, this is my letter of surrender from Zheng Zhilong."

Steward Wang stepped forward, checked Zheng Zhilong's surrender letter, and handed it to Chen Fan.

Chen Fanzi carefully looked at Zheng Zhilong's surrender letter and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

Only then nodded contentedly.

"By the way, where are the treasures you brought?"

Compared to Zheng Zhilong as a person, Chen Fan was more interested in the wealth he brought.

"The treasure is in the carriage at the gate."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Fan turned his head to look at Steward Wang, and ordered:
"You arrange some servants to move all the boxes on the carriage to the warehouse."

Steward Wang's eyes lit up when he heard that the box contained Zheng Zhilong's treasures.

Looking at the endless stream of carriages at the door, Zheng Zhilong must have brought a lot of treasure.

Thinking of this, Steward Wang excitedly went to find someone.

After Butler Wang went out, Chen Fan stared at Zheng Zhilong for a long time.

Finally, he said calmly:

"It's really rare that you can come to the capital to surrender with all your wealth. You have already done this, and I can't let you suffer."

"Since you surrender to me now, you are my man, and I will not treat you badly."

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the national teacher is still a generous person, which is beyond Zheng Zhilong's expectations.

Could this be throwing a plum and repaying a peach!

It was a surprise that the national teacher was willing to reward him.

Chen Fan went on to say:

"I plan to form a South China Sea Fleet, and I will let you be the commander-in-chief of this fleet."

"South Sea Fleet?"

Zheng Zhilong froze for a moment, is this any different from his previous fleet?

When Chen Fan saw Zheng Zhilong's confused face, he knew that he had no idea about the South China Sea Fleet.

So Chen Fan explained:
"This South China Sea Fleet is much more advanced than the broken ships you had before. One is like the sky, and the other is like the earth. They are completely different."
