I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 745: Competition with Zheng Jing

"Prince?"

Zheng Jing looked outside and murmured, "Will the vassal king help me?"

He suddenly sat up and shouted, "Go and ask Zhang Lun to come."

Zhang Lun is the largest local tyrant in the city, and he is also the only one willing to follow Zheng Jing.

After an incense stick of time, Zhang Lun came galloping on a horse.

He jumped off his horse and bowed, "Hello, sir."

Zheng Jing asked, "Brother Zhang, are you willing to help me?"

Zhang Lun shook his head, "My dear, although I am a businessman, I understand the meaning of loyalty and filial piety."

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "What if the Tang army comes after us?"

Zhang Lun said resolutely: "If the Tang army dares to pursue, I will dare to stop them."

"it is good."

Zheng Jing praised: "You are indeed a hero. I will do my best for you."

"Don't worry, my dear. I will try my best."

Zhang Lun bowed, then left with his men.

Zheng Jing lay on the bed, looking out the window, gradually losing focus.

"The Song Dynasty."

He thought of his parents, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather. Thinking of those people who had once doted on him, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Sir, the young master is awake."

There was a sound outside. Zheng Jing opened his eyes and saw the familiar boathouse. Suddenly he felt sad. "I won't fight anymore. I want to go see Li Zheng."

Outside Xianxia Pass at night, all the Tang troops were in solemn appearance and the camp was brightly lit.

Li Zheng was dozing on a dragon chair in the deepest part. After a while, Jingdong, who was covered with wounds, was brought in front of him. Hou Junji and Li Kan looked at each other, and it was obvious that both of them were surprised that Jingdong surrendered so easily.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Jing is here."

Hou Junji reminded in a low voice, and Li Zheng frowned and said, "Is this kid cheating?"

"He surrendered voluntarily."

Li Zheng laughed and said, "I originally thought it would take some effort, but who knew it would be like this, hahahaha."

His laughter was hearty, but Hou Junji and Li Kan couldn't help but look sideways. Is this guy really a great hero?
Li Zheng restrained his smile and said calmly: "Since it is a surrender, then there should be some sincerity."

Zheng Jing knelt down and said respectfully: "Your Highness Zheng Jing is willing to offer 50,000 dan of grain, more than 100 cattle and sheep, and 3,000 taels of gold and silver."

"what?"

Li Zheng was startled, and then said: "Are you confused? Do you think I really value the little supplies you have?"

Hou Junji and Li Kan nodded at the same time, both thinking that this young man was crazy. Zheng Jing raised his head and said calmly: "I am indeed crazy."

Li Zheng's eyes twitched a few times, and he shouted, "You are teasing me."

Zheng Jing said seriously: "I am not kidding, everything I said is true."

Li Zheng sneered: "You think you can deceive me by talking like this? Do you think you can deceive me?"

His tone was so chilling it made people intimidated.

Zheng Jing closed his eyes. Those ships were fine. I became interested when they were mentioned.

"You don't look like you took the photo of this boat yourself, did you? Was it given to you by a Westerner?"

Zheng Jing was silent.

Li Zheng grinned: "You are such a greedy and shameless guy, you actually have the nerve to mention those Westerners. Come, take those Westerners out to see."

"According to the order."

Two Jinyiwei from outside came in, dragging several men in.

"Spare my life!"

The men were terrified and begged.

"This is a Western ship, not ours."

"It's none of our business." "It was those Westerners who stole the ship and abandoned it in the port."

Several men tried to explain the truth, but did not leave.

Amidst a scream, the men's heads were chopped off. Blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the entire window red.

"vomit."

A woman covered her mouth and ran out. The rest of the people trembled, their eyelids twitched in shock, and then they said, "Your Majesty, I am not greedy. I am testing you."

Li Zheng walked over slowly and whispered, "Do you really think I don't know?"

Zheng Jing shook his head: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is not short of money, so the money I got was given to me by others."

"you."

This kind of thing should have been kept secret, but Zheng Jing admitted it frankly at this moment.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "You actually used the Ming Dynasty's money to bribe those Westerners?"

His expression changed. "These Westerners are actually secretly communicating with the Ming Dynasty. Don't they want to live?"

Hou Junji whispered, "Your Majesty, please calm down. We are tracking down the whereabouts of those Xiliang people."

Li Zheng nodded and looked at Zheng Jing, "If you tell the truth, I will spare your life when you return."

He glanced at the sky outside and said, "If you keep it a secret, you will end up being a wandering ghost."

Zheng Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I do not trust them."

Li Zheng's eyes were gloomy. "You don't trust them."

There was more murderous intent in his eyes, "Are you trying to tell me that they have rebelled against the Ming Dynasty?"

Zheng Jing shook his head: "I am just worried that they will take the opportunity to attack Ming. After all, Ming is weak and its coastal defense is even weaker."

"Hahaha."

Li Zheng threw his head back and laughed.

"The Ming Dynasty is truly impregnable!"

He pointed outside and said, "I have deployed a large number of troops here. If they dare to invade, they will be crushed to pieces."

Hou Junji and Li Kan were both a little shocked. Li Zheng had anticipated the danger long ago and deployed heavy troops to guard against the enemy. This decisiveness made people admire him. Unfortunately, he met someone even more ruthless. "Do you dare to bet with me?"

Shock hesitated, then shook his head, "Why?"

"Because I dare not."

Shocked, he lowered his eyes, "Westerners are too powerful. Their weapons are sharp and they also know magic. I don't want to die."

Hou Junji and Li Kan's eyes twitched wildly, and they wanted to rush in and beat him up. Li Zheng knew that Zheng Jing was frightened by the Western technology. After all, they had never been exposed to the technology of traps, so they could only attribute everything they saw to divine power.

To put it bluntly, we still need to put our own people first. Blindly flattering foreigners is already half dead in Li Zheng's eyes. However, Li Zheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it seems that you have no confidence in my Ming navy. Why not let my navy compete with yours."

"Let's see whether the Ming Dynasty's ships are more powerful or this crappy thing made by the Westerners is more powerful."

He stared at Zheng Jing and said, "How about losing to death?"

Hou Junji felt that Zheng Jing was finished.

Li Zheng also thought so, so he advised: "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."

These words were a bit hurtful, but Li Zheng didn't care.

Beads of sweat oozed from Zheng Jing's forehead. He swallowed hard and said, "I am willing to learn from you."

"Okay." Li Zheng shouted, "Someone come and gather the navy."

Hou Junji sighed, "Your Majesty, this is too risky."

"adventure?"

Li Zheng said proudly: "I am not taking any risks, I will really win a great victory."

Later, Zheng Jing's navy arrived one after another.

This is a large-scale navy. Each warship is fully equipped and looks very intimidating.

However, the Ming Dynasty was not unprepared. In the distant sky, giant steel beasts were slowly moving.
