Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 1049 toss the cup
If that day comes, Zheng Mingjun can't make up his mind whether to switch to Zheng Xi or not. After all, it is up to his elder brother Zheng Tailai to decide such important matters.
Zheng Tai went to see Dong Xian before leaving. Dong Xian's reliance and trust in him made him even more doubtful that Zheng Jing would be bad for him. During the conversation, Dong Xian mentioned that in the event of the defeat of the Lu division, the navy should plan to seize the east side, thinking that there is a place to stand. Zheng Tai said that this matter was already under preparation, and he had asked He Bin to sneak back to Dongfan to contact the natives in Dongfan. He also set up a military port in Penghu and stocked up a lot of rations. Penghu as the base to attack Dongfan. Seeing that Zheng Tai's retreat was properly arranged, Dong Xian felt relieved. Hearing that his son called Zheng Tai to Xinghua, he told Zheng Tai to protect his son, which made Zheng Tai not suspicious.
The next day, Zheng Tai led his younger brothers Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zanxu and other trusted generals to Xinghua City. As soon as he entered Xinghua City, he went to see Zheng Jing.
"uncle!"
Upon learning of Zheng Tai's arrival, Zheng Jing, accompanied by Chen Yonghua, Huang Xu and others, went out to meet him in person.
"The lord!"
Although Zheng Tai is Zheng Jing's cousin, but Zheng Jing has already established himself as the Prince of Fujian, and in front of outsiders, he has seen Zheng Jing with the etiquette of seeing Zheng Sen before. Zheng Jing smiled and helped Zheng Tai up and invited him into the mansion. The mansion had already set up a banquet. After everyone was seated, Zheng Jing first praised Zheng Tai for defeating Liu Guoxuan in the sea. Chen Yonghua and others also praised Zheng Tai very well. Outside, all the personal soldiers brought by Zheng Tai were arranged in the courtyard, and there was also a banquet. Zheng Mingjun was worried that Zheng Jing was uneasy and kind, so he asked Zheng Zanxu to take someone outside. If there was any movement inside, he would come to rescue immediately. He also whispered to Zheng Zanxu and others not to drink too much, so as not to make mistakes.
In the middle of the banquet, there were already three drinks, and Hong Xu briefly explained the latest military situation.
When the naval navy fought, the troops of Zheng Xi and Zheng Jing had already fought three times in the area of Xinghua Mansion, because the soldiers who followed Zheng Sen to attack Fuzhou were all the elites of the Zheng army, so their overall strength was stronger than that of the Zheng army who stayed behind in Jinxia. . Although Fuzhou was defeated, thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, and many generals fell to Zheng Jing, there were still more than 30,000 elite soldiers who returned to Zheng Xi's command. And Zheng Jing brought less than 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jinsha. Therefore, after the two armies fought, Zheng Jing lost two battles in a row. In the third fight, Zheng Jing gritted his teeth and dispatched all the 300 iron armored soldiers in his hand, and the chaos broke out in one fell swoop. With Zheng Xibu, this is worthy of saving a game, or else it will be a three-game losing streak.
Zheng Jing was very worried and said: "Huang Zhao and Xiao Gongchen are very difficult to deal with. The previous two defeats were all at the hands of these two people. I invited my uncle to come here because I wanted to ask my uncle to clean up these two things for me. thief."
"Don't worry, the lord, with me, Zheng Tai, Huang and Xiao are nothing."
Zheng Tai is still full of confidence, Huang Zhao and Xiao Gongchen may be leaders in the eyes of others, but they are pawns in the eyes of Zheng Tai. Among the generals who now support Zheng Xi, Liu Guoxuan is the only one who makes him look good, but the previous episode has been defeated by himself.
"With Uncle's words, my heart is settled."
Zheng Jing got up and offered a toast to Zheng Tai, and when the glass was put down, he started talking about another matter. This matter made Zheng Tai unhappy, because Zheng Jing actually made up his mind about the money he deposited in Japan.
After Zheng Sen's failure of the Northern Expedition last year, Zheng Tai lost confidence in Zheng's business, so he remitted a large amount of silver money to Japan without knowing Zheng Sen, just in case. The silver coin was deposited in the Nagasaki Tang General Affairs Office in Japan, with a total of more than 1.4 million taels of silver. Originally, Zheng Tai was in charge of the Jinsha Household Department and managed the money for Zheng Sen, so Zheng Sen didn't know where the money went, and Zheng Jing only knew a few days ago that Zheng Tai secretly deposited such a large sum of money in Japan.
Although Jinxia has the benefits of maritime trade, due to the use of troops for years, especially last year, Zheng Sen's Northern Expedition almost exhausted Jinxia's savings, and later used troops in Fuzhou, which has tightened the current Jinxia's financial roots, and Zheng Jing has no money in his hands. , so he wanted Zheng Tai to take the deposit back from Japan to relieve the urgent need.
"I have deposited a sum of money in Japan, but the amount is not large, only 300,000 to 400,000 taels, and getting it back will not help much. Besides, it will take a few months to send staff to Japan. , let's find another way for military salaries."
Zheng Tai, who has always loved money like his life, was willing to spit out the fat in his mouth, and rejected Zheng Jing on the spot, and claimed that the deposit of silver was not the one million taels that Zheng Jing thought, but only three to four million taels.
When Zheng Jing heard the words, he remained silent and only stared at Zheng Tai. Chen Yonghua, Hong Xu, and others also put down their chopsticks, each with a bad look.
Zheng Mingjun's heart suddenly burst, and he got up subconsciously, only to find that his eldest brother, Zheng Tai, swayed, and then he couldn't open his eyes. Zheng Mingjun was startled and stretched out his hand to support Zheng Tai. At this moment, Zheng Jing suddenly stood up and cupped his hand towards Zheng Tai: "Uncle, I'm sorry!" After speaking, he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
Throw the cup for the number!
Zheng Mingjun was taken aback, and dozens of personal soldiers with bright armor and long swords rushed out of the back hall.
"What is the lord doing?"
Although Zheng Tai was dizzy and his eyes were about to close, his mind was still somewhat clear, and he was shocked when he saw a group of soldiers rushed out.
Zheng Jing didn't answer him, he just snorted coldly: "Take it!"
Only then did Zheng Tai know that something was wrong. He wanted to draw his sword to resist, but he had a severe headache, his hands and feet were weak, and he fell to the ground.
"Big brother!"
Zheng Mingjun shouted angrily, and drew his sword to block Zheng Jing's personal soldiers who were rushing up. He was already on guard in his heart, and he used the stomachache as an excuse since he entered the feast. No matter how they persuaded Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua, he would not take a sip. At this time, in order to save the elder brother, he also gave his life to resist. Two of Zheng Jing's personal soldiers who rushed up saw Zheng Mingjun resisting. One of the personal soldiers slashed him with a knife, but Zheng Mingjun slashed to the ground with a knife. Another personal soldier slashed again with a knife, but Zheng Mingjun's sharp blade slashed his neck~www.mtlnovel.com~ and blood gushed out.
"Kill him, kill him!"
Seeing Zheng Mingjun kill two of his men in a row, Zheng Jing was also furious and ordered his own soldiers to surround him and chop Zheng Mingjun to death. As soon as the sound of fighting in the room came out, Zheng Zanxu outside knew that he was not good, and his subordinates were only given orders by many officers, so they kept vigilance secretly, and the rest of the soldiers did not. Sergeant Zheng Jing, who was drinking with them, suddenly attacked, and many casualties were caught by surprise. Zheng Zanxu went to sea with his eldest brother in his early years, and he was also a real kung fu. There were more than a dozen samurai recruits from Japan.
"Stop them, I'll go save Lord Hou!"
After shouting in Japanese, Zheng Zanxu led someone into the inner hall. Zheng Mingjun struggled to support, and when he saw the third brother brought someone over, he was refreshed. Zheng Jing was shocked and angry when he saw that the people outside were not able to take down Zheng Zanxu, and instead let them rush in.
Chen Yonghua drew out his long sword, placed it in front of Zheng Jing, and shouted, "Fleet the arrow!"
Dozens of archers suddenly appeared on the outer wall of the courtyard. Arrows rained like rain, and more than a dozen of Zheng Tai's personal soldiers were shot into hedgehogs on the spot. When the rest of the personal soldiers saw this, they all rushed into the lobby and fought with Zheng Jing's personal soldiers.
