On the East China Sea, countless ships are taking advantage of the wind, Wang Wenyan stood at the bow of the ship, his face was full of relief, this trip to the sea, it was really a full load, and he couldn't help but earn a lot of money, and attracted countless merchant ships. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Around Wang Wenyan was the escorting naval fleet, countless soldiers were busy on the deck, the greenness and fear on their faces had disappeared, this long-distance voyage not only increased their experience, but also tempered their mentality.

The ships of the Ming Dynasty gathered together, and another group of Western-style warships and merchant ships were also walking at intervals from each other, and they followed behind the Ming fleet and bit tightly. These are businessmen who smell fishy because of the arrival of Chinese goods, after all, many people have not bought Chinese goods for more than a year, these organized by Wang Wenyan, due to the reasons of capacity and time, may be enough for businessmen in one country, but in the face of businessmen in many countries and the whole of Europe, it is drizzle.

Without goods, they couldn't stand the red eyes of their peers to make money, so under the bewitchment of Wang Wenyan, they followed the fleet to Daming, wanting to replenish the goods from Daming's local area. At the same time, it is also an exploration of trade routes, after all, this is the first time that the Ming Dynasty has opened the sea, if it is really much more convenient, they naturally do not mind trading here later, after all, after less middlemen, they can get the goods at a lower price.

Under the temptation of silver, no one will be disgusted with the road too far.

The whole sea was calm, although it was winter, making the climate seem a little cold, but it was enough to extinguish the flames in the hearts of countless people.

In the vast field of vision of the crew, from time to time some small boats swam by, they did not touch, but just looked at each other, and then quickly left. The sailors didn't care, they didn't have to guess to know 4, this was a nearby pirate reconnaissance ship, and the biggest pirates in the vicinity were the three people known as the three kings of the East China Sea.

Xu Xinsu, Zheng Zhilong, and Yan Siqi stood on the dock, their faces were a little ugly, and as the ship kept passing on the information, their faces became more and more heavy.

"It's a, there are so many ships, how can we swallow them." In the end, Xu Xinsu couldn't bear it anymore and broke out, "At the beginning, I said that I would intercept them while they were leaving, but you didn't say that the other party's navy was powerful, and the goods were huge and could not be resold, so it was better to wait for the other party to sell them and hijack them on the way back." ”

"Now that I look at it, there are so many people, how can I rob it!" Xu Xinsu yelled with anger on his face, and then ignored the two of them, flicked his sleeves and left.

Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi didn't argue with him, but their faces were full of solemnity, letting him vent, and when Xu Xinsu left completely, the two finally put away their pretended expressions and glanced at each other.

"Still undecided?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

"How can you make up your mind on the spur of the moment?" Yan Siqi smiled bitterly, "The attitude on the other side is out, love comes, don't come and roll, there is no guarantee at all, I feel uneasy!" ”

In the end, Yan Siqi sighed, "Seeing that the emperor's fleet is getting stronger and stronger, and it has also attracted the caravan of Westerners, their power in Annanyang is extremely strong, and they are really all here, I am afraid that our days are not so chic." ”

This set of rhetoric made Zheng Zhilong also silent, he was full of joy waiting for the emperor's holy decree to recruit An, in his mind, the emperor's fleet has just been established, even if it has combat effectiveness, how strong can it be, if you want to open up business at sea, you still have to rely on them, so that they can profit from it.

Not only can you get the official status, maybe you can also keep some benefits, such as the Ryukyu country, such as this Dayuan Island, and the monopoly trade with Japan, since the Japanese government was forced to get the qualification of monopoly trade, it is really a day to make money, how to flow in the silver of white flowers, no one is willing to let go.

It's just a pity that the news from the other side gave Zheng Zhilong a slap in the face, there were no promises, no guarantees, not to mention those additional benefits, only one sentence, the emperor asked you to surrender.

Just such a sentence, Zheng Zhilong, who was angry on the street at that time, wanted to cut the other party on the spot, but the other party's fearless attitude finally made him soberly realize that he couldn't offend the emperor to death, otherwise Xu Xinsu would be his best end.

Why did the two of them hide it from Xu Xinsu, isn't it because of his actions in his early years, he completely offended the emperor, this feud can't be resolved, and there is no room for maneuver.

"However, what if you don't surrender, the Westerners are coming, and the emperor has also entered the ocean in a big way, our days are not very chic now, but the two sides have not joined forces to fight, and they are delaying a little time, I am afraid that there is no chance to surrender." Zheng Zhilong was also full of worries.

The reason why the Chinese pirates were able to stop the Westerners and prevent them from entering was because of the secret support of the Ming gentry, plus the Ming Dynasty itself forbids the sea, there is no interest here, and the Westerners will naturally not get in thanklessly.

Even if there were those who wanted to come in, the strength would not be too strong, and they were all repulsed.

However, the current situation is very different, the apocalypse opened the sea, and even organized caravans to trade at sea, and the news of the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty was thoroughly promoted, and now the colonists of the entire Nanyang probably know about the opening of three treaty ports in the Ming Dynasty.

At present, these are estimated to be only the vanguard troops, and when their trade is smooth, it is estimated that the next step will be the swarming of Western merchants. In this case, the Ming Dynasty and several Western countries united, and the three of them were separated by the trade route, and there was absolutely no way for them to survive.

"There are masters in the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhilong sighed, "I don't plan to wait, surrender this kind of thing, sooner rather than later, who knows when the emperor will free his hands and clean up us." ”

"yes." Yan Siqi echoed.

"Surrender, huh?"

"Surrender!"

The two dissected their minds and finally decided. It's just that his mouth is full of bitter taste.

After being silent for a long time, Zheng Zhilong suddenly proposed, "This time the Ming fleet passed by here, the opportunity is rare, why don't we ......" He raised his head, his face was full of slaughter, his right hand gestured between his neck, and made a singing movement.

"You mean........." Yan Siqi asked in disbelief.

"That's right, I won't do it!" Zheng Zhilong nodded affirmatively, "Anyway, it is impossible for him to surrender with us, it is better to use it as a meeting gift to the emperor, for the sake of this gift, the emperor may give us a good treatment." ”

"It's done!" Yan Siqi nodded viciously.

"I'll go to the contact." Zheng Zhilong immediately took active action.

After following Wang Siyuan to the land to see it, Zheng Zhilong could no longer settle down, his original dream was just to be a pirate, make some money, and be a rich man, however, the powerful position of officials on the mainland, he could no longer forget it when he saw Wang Siyuan, and he remembered it all the time.

Especially when Xu Xinsu was able to gain a firm foothold in this Ryukyu country, it was because he falsely claimed to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, which was accepted by King Shangfeng without resistance.

That night, Zheng Zhilong appeared in Shen Yourong's command room, accompanied by Wang Wenyan, who presided over this sea trade.

"Zheng Zhilong has seen the two." Zheng Zhilong saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Haha, Ship Master Zheng is really bold enough to dare to board General Ben's ship," Shen Yourong looked at it with admiration and laughed. Wang Wenyan only watched curiously from the side and did not speak.

"The general praised it falsely, General Shen's prestige, who in the entire East China Sea doesn't know." Zheng Zhilong complimented a few words, then didn't plan to go around the bend, and opened his mouth directly to express his intentions.

"When I was young and ignorant, I used to have some festivals with the empire, but now Zheng has changed his mind, and Brother Yan wants to return to the right path, and I ask the general to give me a chance."

"Oh, this kind of thing the general has no right to manage, if the Zheng ship owner wants to surrender, it is better to directly bear the guilt of Jing and return to Beijing to face the saint, I believe that Your Majesty will accept it for the sake of the shipowner's merits." Shen Yourong said a few words and pushed the matter to a clean end.

Wei Zhongxian wanted to rebel against them, and he also knew something, but he didn't know in detail, but his task was to escort the fleet back to Beijing, not to accept the surrender.

"The general doesn't know, that Xu Xin is determined to oppose the empire, I have been persuading for a long time, but I don't see his change of heart, so I discussed with Brother Yan a little bit below, and I want to take down this guy as a meeting gift and give it to Your Majesty." Zheng Zhilong did not hide it, and directly revealed his thoughts and dishes.

He didn't believe that the generals of the Ming Dynasty could still be reserved in the face of military exploits. Sure enough, in this way, the other party's breathing was a little short, and he couldn't help but twist his beard and groan.

After a while, Shen Yourong smiled, "Let the shipowner laugh, this person is old, and some things still can't be put down." ”

"Haha, the old general is humble, you are a model of loyalty to the country!" Zheng Zhilong smiled.

"However, General Ben's character is to escort the caravan back home, and now that Xu Xinsu has not come to harass him, and it is not good for General Ben to ignore his duties and run to suppress bandits!" Shen Yourong was embarrassed.

"General, this is the general's desertion, but the pirate Xu Xinsu came to plunder without his might, but was defeated by the general, and then chased to the island and completely annihilated." Zheng Zhilong said with a shocked face.

Instead, he changed his face again and whispered in a low voice, "General, that Xu Xinsu has a lot of wealth on Ryukyu Island!"

"Huh!" Shen Yourong was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, but he didn't say anything, just pointed at Zheng Zhilong and laughed, "Ship Master Zheng is really young and promising." ”

Just smiled, he retracted his smile and looked serious, "It's just that Ben Jiang knows that this is not a reappearance of the incident in Ningbo Port?" ”

The collapse of the Ningbo Port fleet has always been a pain for the navy, and with the lessons of the past, Shen Yourong is not at ease to take the fleet into the unfamiliar port ** battle.
