Zheng Zhilong packed his luggage and left the courtyard the next day to take Li Yao's place.

Some time ago, in order to deal with Yin Mo and Zheng Zhilong's fleet, Li Yao transferred back most of the personnel from each stronghold, and as a result, the whole army was wiped out. The newly arranged personnel are also being transferred to various bases one after another, and then when it comes to handing over the silver in half a year, this matter was originally Li Yao's business, but now he was arranged by Li Dan to find the ghost green boat, so these things were handed over to Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong, who had just taken office, was very busy.

After the silver was handed over, it had nothing to do with Zheng Zhilong, but was taken over by Li Xin, who was in charge of finances.

Yin Mo also left the courtyard and began to teach Li Jian, Li Jian also cherished this opportunity very much, and would desperately improve his cultivation every day, but while practicing martial arts, the search for Baisha did not stop. Li Jian did not shy away from it, and he was also arranging these things in front of Yin Mole, and Yin Mole did not express an opinion on this, but just taught Li Jian wholeheartedly.

Yin Mo and Zheng Zhilong were each assigned one thing. In this way, there was one less thing in Li Dan's hands, but he couldn't be happy, because each stronghold sent back the news one after another, saying that all the silver money in each stronghold had been robbed by people of unknown origin, and nothing was left, which made Li Dan very troubled, and these silvers were very important to him.

Li Xin, who was in charge of finance, also came to Li Dan at this time and reported these situations in detail.

Li Dan rubbed his temples and said, "How is the situation over there?" ”

Li Xin sighed slightly and said: "Li Yan should be almost there, before he was dealing with the Spaniards on the border, his side needs a lot of materials every day, plus in order to deal with the Spaniards, the shipyard is also building ships day and night, and it also needs to invest a lot of silver. ”

Li Dan nodded and said: "It's a pity that Li Yao went to look for the ghost green boat, otherwise he would definitely find out who is making waves as soon as possible, Zheng Zhilong just took over, and it may take a little time to investigate this matter." ”

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "My lord, all this can't be stopped, now we need a lot of silver, or we can speed up the speed of Tugugarao and start mining gold." ”

Li Dan shook his head and said: "This matter is not urgent, once the action is too big and the Spanish will be detected, it will be troublesome, we are not the time to collide with the Spaniards head-on, we still need to endure for a while, and wait until the ship's cannons are all built." ”

Li Dan continued: "Wait a minute, you go and see Zheng Zhilong, so that he can find out as soon as possible who snatched the silver from the stronghold below." Instead of risking the gold mines, we might as well catch the culprits behind the scenes and get all the lost silver back. ”

Li Xin clenched his fists and left, ready to inform Zheng Zhilong.

After Li Xin left, Li Dan let out a long sigh. The ruler of the largest power in Luzon could not help but show a tired look at this time, and the frequent movements of Spain had already upset him, but now the fire in the backyard had made the money turnover.

Luzon goes all the way south, a place called Manila, where is the stronghold of Spain.

The Spaniards occupied Manila, and Li Dan was in charge of Luzon, and the two forces were entrenched in this land, which was a transit point for maritime trade, and whoever controlled this land would have a choke point on the sea.

Spain's strength was limited at the beginning, and they were fiercely fired back several times when they wanted to provoke Li Dan, which made them understand that Li Dan was not a paper tiger. Li Dan's ruthless style left a mark in the other party's heart, and even affectionately called Li Danwei "Jiabitan", in the Spanish language, this is what the captain means, but you are the "Chinese captain" in their minds.

But as time went on, the Spanish gained a foothold in Manila, and also discovered gold mines in Manila, which made their power continue to expand, and more and more Spaniards came here, while transporting Chinese goods to Spain's periphery for trading, while mining gold in Manila, which was much more valuable than silver.

The Spaniards were almost obsessed with gold and silver, and now the powerful Spaniards had their sights set on Luzon's territory, so friction began to arise on the border between the two sides, and this was also the time for Luzon to slow down gold mining, and he was afraid that the other side would attack desperately after receiving the news.

Li Xin walked into the place where Zheng Zhilong took office, and Zheng Zhilong was busy in front of the case, and he didn't know that Li Xin had arrived until after the next person reported him.

The people under him had introduced the key figures of Li Dan's forces to Zheng Zhilong before, and Zheng Zhilong had also heard of Li Xin, and after the arrival of this heavyweight, Zheng Zhilong also got up and went out to greet him.

Today is Zheng Zhilong's first day in office, and it is also the first time he has dealt with important people under Li Dan, and he seems a little rusty, but fortunately, his subordinates are more familiar with the way, and they keep reminding him on the side, which makes Zheng Zhilong feel a lot more comfortable.

Li Xin also saw Zheng Zhilong for the first time, hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to Brother Zheng, we will be a family in the future." ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't hold the shelf, and hurriedly replied: "I'm just in charge of it temporarily, and if there is something I don't understand, I will ask the eldest brother to help solve my doubts." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." After Li Xin sat down, he continued: "Presumably Brother Zheng has also heard about it, the stronghold below was robbed by a group of people who suddenly appeared, and it was time to hand over the silver, but this kind of thing happened. ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "I just heard about this matter when I came today, and we have already started to investigate. ”

Li Xin nodded and said: "I just came from Lord Li Dan, I came to pass the word, and my lord asked me to tell you to find out who did it in the fastest time, and to recover the robbed silver in the fastest time, so there is no time to delay." ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Thank you, big brother, for informing us, we will speed up the investigation clearly." ”

After Li Xin finished speaking, he didn't stop long, hugged his fists and said: "I see that Brother Zheng's affairs are complicated, so I won't bother, and I will invite Brother Zheng to drink when I am free another day, and I want to say goodbye." ”

Zheng Zhilong personally sent Li Xin outside the door and returned to his place.

Zheng Zhilong's subordinates were waiting by his side, not leaving an inch, and it could be regarded as bringing Zheng Zhilong into the door, if there was anything he didn't understand, Zheng Zhilong asked the other party, but this time his subordinates did take the lead and said: "My lord, you must not be confused by this Li Xin's appearance, he is shrewd, saying that he invited you to drink, I am afraid that he will have to wait for a hundred years......

Zheng Zhilong was noncommittal about this, and said: "It's no wonder that the person who manages the financial power is not shrewd, we are so busy now, and we don't have time to drink with him, whether we are shrewd or not, what does it have to do with us?" ”

The subordinate nodded yes, but still reminded: "My lord, you will have more time to deal with each other in the future." ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded in response, from the information received, Zheng Zhilong got a very important clue, that is, the people who suddenly appeared to rob were all dressed in black, which had to make Zheng Zhilong think of the man in black. There is also a possibility that the Men in Black are disguised by Bai Sha, as there are many clothes of the Men in Black on the fleet, which are found in the cave at the first supply point.

In the battle at the dock that day, except for the five warships, the other ships escaped, and the heavy losses were only mixed with casualties, and the rest of the fleet was well preserved, if the fleet and Baisha had already reconciled, Zheng Zhilong believed that Baisha had the ability to do this kind of thing.

Zheng Zhilong had already thought in his heart, if the robbery was really a man in black, it would be very tricky, because he had already seen the strength of the other party. If the robbery was a man in black pretending to be in Baisha, how should this matter be handled properly? Now Li Dan has begun to urge the speed of the investigation, but it is impossible for Zheng Zhilong to deal with Baisha.

Now that Zheng Zhilong has no one around him who can be trusted, and Yin Mole is not around, he has no one to ask, everything has to be decided by himself, and there are some things he still needs to think about.

Zheng Zhilong continued to keep his head busy, he wanted to find a clear clue in the information he collected, he wanted to determine whether the person who robbed was Baisha, if not, it would be easy to do, if so, he had to think of a way.

————

It was only a little bit of time, Li Jian, who was taught by Yin Mole, quickly understood a lot of things, he admired Yin Mole's realm from the bottom of his heart, cultivation is a gradual thing, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so Li Jian, who was resting, did not chase Yin Mole and asked about martial arts cultivation, but asked: "Senior, I still want to know why you are willing to teach me." ”

Yin Mo said lazily: "You have to find something to do, don't you?" ”

Li Jian said with a look of disbelief: "Don't lie to me, I can feel that my predecessor is really teaching me, so I can't figure out why." ”

Yin Mo looked at Li Jian seriously and said, "I just want to do an experiment." I knew two people before, one is Bai Sha, you know Bai Sha, needless to say, he is very talented, I have taught him. There is another one you don't know, he, like you, is also an acquired person with smooth meridians throughout his body, and I have also taught him. Now by chance, I'm here to teach you, I just want to see who is the most powerful among you, because sooner or later there will be a battle between you! ”

Li Jian smiled slightly: "The latter that the predecessor said should be called Qiu Tian, right?" ”

Yin Mo frowned and said, "You actually know?" ”

Li Jian replied: "The seniors underestimated me too much, but in fact, I know a lot of things. ”

Li Jian continued: "The seniors just want to see who is more powerful? ”

Yin Mo smiled: "Whether you believe it or not, it's really like this." ”

Li Jian tried to say: "The grace of the predecessors is worthy of the word master!" ”

Yin Mo looked at Li Jian and said, "Impossible, my quota for accepting apprentices is full, and I teach you just to satisfy my curiosity......"

Li Jian didn't dwell on it, but said: "Senior, I will prove myself!" ”

Yin Mo drank the wine by himself and ignored Li Jian.

Yin Mo told Li Jian the truth, he just wanted to see who of the three was more powerful, after all, Jiaolong was undecided......
