"How does your majesty plan to deal with Zheng Zhilong?" Li Ruo Lian asked, "If it is difficult to deal with him openly, I can find a way to assassinate him secretly. Although it is difficult, I can still give it a try."
"No," Chongzhen immediately waved his hand, "Zheng Zhilong must not die."
"Ah?" Li Ruolian opened her mouth in surprise, not knowing how to respond.
There was a war in Liaodong, but Zheng Zhilong was trading with the Jiannu.
He not only sent food and fodder to the Jiannu, but also a large amount of gunpowder.
After eating, the Jiannu would load gunpowder into cannons and shoot at the Ping Liao army.
This move was tantamount to stabbing the Ping Liao army in the back.
If Zheng Zhilong died, the situation would definitely turn around.
Because with the death of Zheng Zhilong, there will inevitably be turmoil within the Zheng family army.
Regardless of the successor's attitude, trade between the two sides will be suspended for a period of time.
It is definitely a good thing for the Ping Liao army.
Looking at Li Ruolian with a confused expression, Chongzhen did not intend to explain anything.

"Commander Li," Chongzhen said with some concern, "You must remember that nothing can happen to Zheng Zhilong! If necessary, the Fujian Jinyiwei can provide protection for Zheng Zhilong."
"Ah?" Li Ruolian asked in confusion again.
Zheng Zhilong secretly communicated with the Jiannu...
The emperor before him not only did not punish him, but also ordered the Jinyiwei to provide protection when necessary.
Is there still justice in the world?
Is there still law?
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty obeys your order." As the commander, Li Ruolian did not dare to ask more questions and could only accept the order.
"Also," Chongzhen thought of another thing, "Have you contacted the Mongols in Liaodong? As long as we can convince them not to work wholeheartedly for the Jiannu, the Ping Liao army will surely win the upcoming Guangning battle."
