Chapter 245: To Each His Own Mind

After yesterday's huge recruitment ceremony, Zheng Yiguan's slightly excited heart also calmed down a lot, he sat in his boat, feeling the swaying brought to him by sailing on the sea, and set his eyes on the holy decree on the table.

Holy decree, this is something that many people can not find.

At this time, in the eyes of most people, the gift of a scroll of divine decrees from the Son of Heaven is tantamount to the birth of a book from heaven, which can easily change the fate of a person or even a family.

But now, Zheng Yiguan looked at this scroll of holy decrees and felt that it was so terrifying.

In this holy decree, the emperor not only sealed himself as promised, but also rewarded Zheng Hongkui with a copper mountain garrison, hereditary hundred households.

He could see that his fourth brother, his eyes had changed since then, and just this morning, he said goodbye to him without saying goodbye to him, and rushed to Tongshan to take office!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yiguan clenched his fists and hated the hammer on the table.

He was a little disappointed in his fourth brother, could it be that the Zheng family had this ambition to be a hereditary thousand, a hundred, and a guard of the imperial court?

After his death, what can the Zheng family leave behind!

Now, the power of his uncle Li Dan and the power of his uncle Huang Cheng are not the end that Zheng Yiguan expected.

Garrison, this official title Zheng Yiguan has never been seen, his ambition never stops there, he wants to lead the Zheng family to dominate the entire southeast sea!

Just thinking about it, Huang Cheng walked in from outside the door and said:

"An official, a few more people, took a boat to Tongshan to find Zheng Hongkui!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yiguan let go of his tightly clenched fist and smiled bitterly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and now that they have been recruited, the pirates in the past have been preached and misled by the imperial court, and they are all enemies of me." ”

"The Zheng family is at the most difficult moment, even Li Dan issued a notice in Japan, saying that he wants to break off diplomatic relations with me, they can't bear the rootless and adrift sea life, and it's good to follow the fourth brother."

Huang Cheng is one of the larger maritime merchants today, as the saying goes, the mother is the uncle, after all, he is a real relative of Zheng Yiguan, I heard that Zheng Yiguan fell into such a predicament, and rushed to Wenzhou Port the next day to help.

He sat next to Zheng Yiguan and said earnestly:

"Next, what are you going to do, just be tied up by the imperial court all the time, when they clear the pirates and fight against the fists of the Dutch fleet?"

Zheng Yiguan's eyes were still firm, and he replied:

"There is only one way in front of us, to completely tear the face with the Dutch, use all resources, repel the Dutch as soon as possible, and by the way, capture a complete battleship."

"It's not easy to capture the Dutch warship, the court demanded?"

Huang Cheng gasped, he had sailed the sea for many years and had seen the caravans of Western countries, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to capture a Western warship with his current ability.

"Sort of..."

Zheng Yiguan has been worrying about this recently.

It is easy to recover Penghu and Zhangzhoukou and repel the Dutch fleet, but capturing one of their warships requires a bit of brains.

The Dutch are not stupid, they are never ambiguous when they should run, and as long as the other party wants to run, whether it is the Zheng family fleet or the Fujian sailors, they will definitely not be able to stop it.

If you pursue, it is very likely that you will be defeated by the opponent in the deep sea, and then besiege the port, let alone capture, it will be difficult to even repel it.

He didn't know what the emperor thought, whether he didn't understand naval warfare at all, and he gave himself such a problem just after recruiting An.

"In my opinion, let's just go straight to the bone, first destroy the fleet of these red-haired pigs blocking the mouth of Zhangzhou, and then unite with the imperial court and mobilize a land and water army to besiege Penghu, are you not afraid that you won't be able to defeat it?"

Zheng Zhibao opened his mouth.

He is the fifth brother of Zheng Yiguan, unlike Zheng Hongkui, who is concerned about the court and does not want to be a pirate, this kid has no centripetal force for the court at all, no matter how much grace he is given, he will basically follow Zheng Zhilong all the way to the black.

Judging from the urine of Zheng Zhibao in history, Zhu Youxiao also knew that he couldn't pull back this wild horse, so fortunately he was freed and didn't give him any grace.

It's Zheng Hongkui, he has to pull it here, he cares about the court, and his private relationship with the future national hero "Zheng Chenggong" is closer than his father Zheng Yiguan.

Zhu Youxiao still thought that in the future, he would rely on nepotism to get Zheng Chenggong over.

Of course, this is a later story, the current Zheng Yiguan has not married a wife, and Zheng Chenggong is afraid that he will not have time to see this great world in his mother's womb.

"It's as simple as that, you piece of wood, don't speak."

Huang Cheng's attitude towards Zheng Zhibao was completely the tone of the elders' lessons, and then he looked at Zheng Yiguan, but like a subordinate, he said in a suggestive and reassuring tone:

"What the imperial court wants is a Dutch warship, so that they can study other people's weapons and equipment, rashly attack, scare the Dutch away, where to get a warship?"

Zheng Zhibao sat on the side and muttered:

"Okay, okay, you say, I'll listen, where to fight!"

"If you want to capture a Dutch warship, it's not difficult..."Zheng Yiguan thought for a while, suddenly smiled, and said: "The two fleets sent by the Dutch to Penghu are mainly three-layer galleys. ”

"This kind of ship has excellent offshore capabilities, so it is difficult to touch more than a dozen imperial sailors, but once it is driven into the deep sea, the combat effectiveness of the galleys will be greatly reduced."

"The Dutch relied on nothing more than those two Galen ships."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yiguan said coldly:

"Let's give the emperor a big gift, get him a Galen ship back, in exchange for Dongfan Islands as our Zheng family's starting base, is this a good deal?"

Zheng Zhibao was just about to speak, but he swallowed back when he thought of something, and he was suffocated and aggrieved, and he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but he was like a little girl.

Huang Cheng ignored the stunned young man, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"It's good, can the court agree?"

"The emperor of Tiangao is far away, Yuan Chonghuan is a Ningyuan army, and the king who can be three times twice in Liaodi can have his life and not accept it, and the east is so far away, can the imperial court manage it?"

Zheng Yiguan laughed, as if he had seized some opportunity, and said:

"Besides, the area around Dongfan is full of natives, and although the imperial court has set up an official crossing, it has never been specifically managed."

"I'm going to take care of him, what's going on?"

"Good! That's it. Huang Cheng stroked his palms and laughed, and then asked:

"It's just that those two Galen ships, all of which are parked outside the Dutch castle in Penghu, will run away if there is a little movement, how to capture them?"

"That's exactly what I was talking about!"

Zheng Yiguan stood up, led the two of them to the deck, felt the sea breeze, suddenly felt relaxed and happy, pointed to the calm sea in the distance, and said:

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, and the inside should be combined with the outside!"

"This time in the war with the Netherlands, the imperial court will definitely support our Zheng family, so don't miss this opportunity and make more use of the Fujian Navy Division to reduce the casualties of our fleet."

"Send someone to find Nan Juyi and tell him my plan."

"Conquer Zhangzhou first, and then take Penghu, it is best to mobilize the entire Fujian army of sea and land, either without a fight, or, it will be decided by a battle, and the Dutch will not be given a chance to escape!"

"What's the difference between this and what I said..."Zheng Zhibao muttered in a low voice, obviously very unconvinced: "Isn't it better to fight Zhangzhou first, and then enter the siege of Penghu?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Cheng glared at him, and the kid hurriedly pretended to be stupid.

Zheng Yiguan didn't do anything, just stood overtime with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile:

"This was told to Nan Juyi, and it was also deliberately told to the Dutch, our Zheng family, has its own tactics to take Penghu."

"The combat power of the Fujian Navy Division can't be counted on, and there are some things that have to come to our Zheng family's fleet!"
