Chen Hua's words penetrated Shi Lang's ears, and he felt cold all over, and then looked at Chen Hua (Zheng Zhilong)'s gaze, which had a different meaning from before.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong's image in his heart has become a little blurred. It has become a little different from the Zheng Zhilong he knew in the past.

This kind of appearance of coveting the world of the Zhu family and playing the role of a loyal minister and filial son in front of Emperor Zhu at the right time is too different from the memory that Zheng Zhilong gave Shi Lang in the past.

"Perhaps, this is the real him!"

After all, his father Shi Daxuan is also an old man in the eighteenth Zhili, how Zheng Zhilong came all the way and what kind of ups and downs he has experienced, Shi Lang has also heard of it.

Whether it is inheriting Yan Siqi's belongings, or squeezing out Li Zhuguo, and getting Li Dan's inheritance, it can prove that he is not a good stubble.

Yan Siqi and Li Dan don't have a son?

The person in front of him was very different from the Zheng Zhilong he knew in the past, but he should have understood that the person who could get to the point of Zheng Zhilong was simple? How can a person who was born as a pirate, who licks blood from the knife, really be tolerant and upright?

Shi Lang's perception is only part of Zheng Sen's perception.

As Zheng Zhilong's son, Zheng Sen now has a feeling - the father in front of him is really strange.

Although he knew early on that his father was not a true and good person. Otherwise, his wife and brother would not have stayed in Japan for more than ten years. It was not only because the shogunate authorities would not let him go, but Zheng Zhilong never really protested to the shogunate authorities......

Moreover, the current hostess of the Zheng family, the Yan family, has no children, and her relatives have also been beaten away by the wind and rain.

However, Chen Hua's decision to build a country overseas still made him very confused, and there was a touch of surprise mixed with ignorance. Because he saw a glimmer of hope for liberation - as long as the Zheng family and Da Ming did not meet each other, his whole person would be easily liberated.

But then others are stupid. Chen Hua's plot against the Central Plains was so heavy that he despaired.

"Don't worry. Because the Father knows your heart, he will not make you difficult. If the Zhu family is lucky, they will be able to give birth to a true dragon in a few years, and then my Zheng family will retreat to the next best, and seek the position of an overseas vassal king for my father, and be called a lonely widow overseas, and can also protect the Ming Sea Frontier, which is also enough for the barrier of the Central Plains Sea. ”

Too intense stimulation is not a good thing for a young man like Zheng Sen, and Chen Hua decided to ease his tone a little. But the meaning of the words is also very clear, it is not that he is single-mindedly trying to conquer the world, but it depends on whether the Zhu family fights for it or not!

Then he changed his tone, "Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal are all powerful countries in the West." He stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed to the European part, and followed the route of the Great Voyage from Europe to China. At this time, the Suez Canal had not yet been built, and it came to China around the whole of Africa, with a voyage of tens of thousands of miles.

"This is tens of thousands of miles away, and Xiyi can subdue the natives along the way, occupy patches of land, and build ports as a docking place for their own merchant ships. Just like Malacca and Luzon in the South Seas. Its strength is definitely not to be underestimated. ”

"Their warships, their true strength, are by no means what we see in Dayuan, in the South Seas. What's more, the big plywood boats they put in front of us are just as powerful. ”

At the beginning, it was expected that Luowan could only achieve a big victory in the first battle, relying on a tactical victory, not a victory in the combat effectiveness of Zheng Zhilong's fleet. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the warships, the fleet in his hands at that time, with the black-tailed ships and bird ships as the main force, was much worse than his red-haired plywood ships. Who let him be attacked by the Dutch before that war, and a batch of Western-style warships in his hands were all burned?

"The boat is thirty zhang long, six zhang wide, more than two feet thick, five masts of the tree, and three stories later!" This is the Dutchman's Galen ship [called plywood in the East]. Compared with the main warship in Zheng Zhilong's hands - the blacktail ship with a length of 10 zhang, a width of more than 3 zhang, and a plate thickness of 7 inches, the strength and weakness are judged!

In terms of the combat effectiveness of the ships, China in the East has lagged behind Europe a hundred years after the Great Voyage. The splendor of Zheng He's fleet had been completely dimmed.

Zheng Zhilong, who was born as a pirate, was very sensitive on warships, and long before he made enemies with the Dutch, he understood the advantages of large warships in the era of artillery warfare, and began to imitate them.

Before the Battle of Liuluo Bay, he already owned more than a dozen plywood warships.

However, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, that is, the year when the Battle of Liuluo Bay broke out, the new Dutch governor of Taiwan, Putmans, in order to force the Ming Dynasty to open up trade, attempted to occupy the coast of the mainland by force, and with the help of Liu Xiang, he sent 8 warships to launch a surprise attack on Zheng Zhilong's troops who had just returned to Xiamen after Liu Xiang had been victorious.

Sunk, burned, and sank more than 20 warships of Zheng Zhilong in the harbor. These ships were Zheng Zhilong's elite troops, and they were also the most advanced maritime armed ships in China at that time, and they were fully equipped with 16, 20 to 36 cannons.

Ten of them were Zheng Zhilong's large plywood ships modeled after the Dutch warship model, and their hulls were large and well-armed, and they were also equipped with towable, ring-bolted, double-decked Hongyi cannons.

Ming Dynasty officials recorded this: "Reading its warships, the strong plain is like an iron city, and each ship can place twenty-four big guns." "The big gun is the Hongyi cannon.

Therefore, that attack on Zheng Zhilong was a loss of blood. So much so that during the Battle of Liuluo Bay, the fifty gunboats dispatched by Zheng Zhilong were just black-tailed boats and bird boats.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong won the battle cleanly, and over the years, he took advantage of the peace to lick his wounds silently, built one or two ships a year, and his strength still recovered.

"It's good to be able to calm the west, but that's a long-term solution. The important thing right now is to find a big enough place to stay. Although this big man is good, he is too close to the mainland. If we withdraw our troops from the island, the entire southeast will be shrouded by our sailors. How can Jingshi be at ease? ”

"There is no better place than Luzon, followed by Malacca. However, these two pieces of territory, one in the hands of Spain, the other in the hands of the red-haired Dutch. Not to mention that the south of the Great Circle was already occupied by the Dutch. Unless it is to start a war with it immediately, and can fight quickly and win, it will be difficult to achieve success. ”

Therefore, although Chen Hua keeps saying that he is talking about Nanyang, his actual target is not Spain and the Netherlands, at least not now!

"I want Luzon and Malacca, but with the strength of our army, ,......" Chen Hua shook his head. The backbone of the Zheng Group in the hall also shook their heads.

Unrealistic. It also affects business interests!

"So, I've taken a look at another place."
