Quanzhou, Fujian, Zheng family!

Regarding the earth-shaking changes after the fall of the Ming Dynasty in the past five or six years, Zheng Zhilong said that the baby does not cry.

There is no need for his subordinates to chatter endlessly about how advanced all kinds of new gadgets from the imperial capital are, and after spending a huge amount of money to buy transportation, Zheng Zhi thoroughly understands what kind of potential the other party has, so he said that as long as it is a businessman who runs the business, the low cost and transportation efficiency can be understood immediately, Zheng Zhilong ecstatic more than once If he also builds a gourd painting scoop in Fujian, it should be a railway flowing with gold.

Of course, he still has the idea of a delicate businessman, the Japanese general wants to hook up, the Jesuit priest wants to bribe, and the elders of the imperial capital want to give gifts.

At the beginning, I heard about the Council of Elders, Zheng Zhilong still didn't believe it, since ancient times, all kinds of gods and men boasted that they had sprinkled beans into soldiers and had become six Ding Liujia, but there was so much news in the imperial capital, although it was all bizarre, from the elders all drinking blood and eating the meat of children, especially little girls, every day, to they were all flying monks, who would give an elixir if they were pleasing to the eye, and they could directly soar by day after eating, but it was irrefutable that the Elders controlled the imperial capital, and they were very energetic.

"But I still underestimate them, the Council of Elders will always be stronger than the legend, these ships have passed a day, how many are there? I remember that there was an opera troupe singing the Three Kingdoms, saying that Dong Zhuo had few soldiers in Chang'an, so he used the day to let the soldiers pretend to be from Xiliang, go out of the city at night, and then pretend to be a recruit during the day to come back, so frightened Yuan Shao, you say, are they also like this? ! ”

"Zhilong, our Fujian sailors are not bad, we have been eating on the water since we were children, compared to these landlubbers, not much stronger, how does it compare?" Zheng Hongkui asked.

Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, but we are far behind, three days, there have been at least five hundred ships in the past, all of them are big ships with hundreds of materials, and the cannons on them are not something we can deal with, hey!" ”

"We are not afraid of many people, as long as we go back to our hometown and recruit soldiers, how many people are willing to work hard? If there are many big ships, they attack them with fire...... If you still don't believe it, they are invincible in the world? ”

As a loyal reader of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zheng Zhilong and his younger brothers are definitely the world record holders of the world record of fire attack ships, whether it is fire between pirates and attacking ships with fire, fighting with the Ming Dynasty with fire attacking ships, dealing with Westerners attacking ships with fire, fire attacking ships, others really can't play it.

Westerners mainly use boats as a means of transportation to bully the natives, and deal with merchants from other countries, who make money, not vindictively.

The son and daughter stayed in the north for a long time and couldn't think about it, but Zheng Zhilong was not dissatisfied with this, because the money he earned in the past two years was really a lot, and it could be said that it was no worse than the Japanese trade route, so he rushed to this, even if the elders broke the rule that he could collect money from the past merchants, Zheng Zhilong also gritted his teeth and admitted it, and the Southern Ming court's wooing of him was also sugar-coated and cannonballs were fired back.

Regardless of how Zheng Zhilong served the passing elder army fleet and how he tried to serve him, for many things, his resistance and resistance have always continued.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes were slightly gloomy.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong is undoubtedly an extremely ambitious person, in this era, it is also equivalent to the tide of those times, Zheng Zhilong even once considered supporting a certain Prince of the Ming Dynasty, relying on the tens of thousands of troops in his hands and the huge wealth accumulated over the years to do a greater cause than Jingluo Nanyang.

Players of Game of Thrones.

But the Council of Elders is too powerful.

When they first met, they gave Zheng Zhilong a head drink, took out some medicines and said that he had eaten too much betel nut in the past few days, betel nut is a carcinogen approved by the Presbyterian Church, in short, it is not good, eat something to reduce anger.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know what the carcinogen was, but Zheng Zhilong knew that his activities in those days were all under the nose of the presbyterian church.

If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between Zheng Sen and Nanming was too deep, and through Zheng Sen's attitude of caring too much about Daming, and investing too many sunk costs, it was also the side that made Zheng Zhilong hesitate, and when all sides of the world were rebelling, Zheng Zhilong would not dare to bet at will.

And now, the Presbyterians show all their chips at once.

100,000 people were mobilized to the south at a time.

Now Zheng Zhilong doesn't dare to think about it, these 100,000 people are not simple characters, but real field troops, everyone has at least received elite training, even if Tang Wang and King Lu and all kinds of people continue to improve their bargaining chips, he has already taken refuge in the past, and those mighty cannons make Zheng Zhilong, a hero who is used to seeing big scenes, feel a little chilled.

"Big brother, can't those craftsmen of the Presbyterian Church really buy them? They really don't want a woman with gold, what's the point of being an official like this, I don't think it's necessarily the latest flintlock musket compared to the foreigners, you say that if we get this thing and arm the brothers, will we not be able to fear those elders? Zheng Hongkui suddenly said on a whim.

In fact, the current foreigners have long developed flintlock muskets, and the Zheng family's sailors and merchant ships have the most dealings with the Dutch in the South Seas, and they have seen it in the hands of the Dutch, although the foreigners are very restricted, but with the strength of the Zheng family, there is still hope for a little flintlock pistol, so Zheng Hongkui was shocked by the strength shown by the Elders' Council before he had such an idea.

In fact, the Presbyterian Church does not sell arms, but as an admirer of the United States in later generations, it is simply sorry for himself if a monkey version rifle does not sell for fifty taels, not including bullets, in fact, Zheng Zhilong wants craftsmen more.

As for the craftsmen, it is impossible for a single worker to understand the enormous works.

Zheng Zhilong thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "Is it not feasible to buy or not, what I regret the most now is that when they opened that East India Company, they didn't keep up, and now, there is nothing." ”

"Yes." Zheng Hongkui was stunned, and he couldn't refute it, so he immediately sighed and said.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui were silent for a moment together.

At that time, this kind of behavior of putting all their lives out of that company was not understandable to those men who worked out of the dirt

Zheng Zhilong said: "Forget it, in short, our Zheng family is still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a change of dynasty, it is impossible not to be a person who does business, and a person who carries the work for them, as for foreigners, hehe." ”

This time the elders will show the carriage and horses, and what they said is very simple, the red-haired people are going to kill the Han people again, and many Han people have also become the leading party, what does the Zheng family think about this, how to stop?

It's forcing you to take sides.

In fact, with Zheng Zhilong's strength, there are also some rumors that have reached his ears, for the behavior of the red-haired people in Nanyang, with the strength of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong can only say that it has a slight impact, but it is impossible to really stop it.

Now that the Presbyterian Church has first taken Vietnam and become Quang Nam Province, the most terrible thing is that the plantation economy has risen all of a sudden, and Guangdong does not know how many poor people with a little money have become rich by opening plantations in Quang Nam Province.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong doesn't look down on the money that has been worked so hard, but he is very fond of sugar and wine produced in Quang Nam Province, he doesn't have those ambitions, plus the deterrence of the strong combat power shown by the Elders, Zheng Zhilong doesn't dare to have any ideas, just wants to get a piece of the pie.

When the Council of Elders received Zheng Zhilong's report, claiming that he would send a fleet to Nanyang to "help in the war", not many people had any happy expressions, and with the means of the National Security Bureau, it was clear what color of underwear Zheng Zhilong was wearing, what he ate for dinner yesterday, and how many calories he had.

"Zheng Zhilong's ability to wait and see the wind is really not low, but why is it so unlucky in history? Well, the people he dealt with before, whether they were Japanese or Westerners, Ming bureaucrats or profiteers from all walks of life, at least had to make face, on the surface the face of hypocrites was to be kept, and the Qing Dynasty said that if you kill a prisoner, you will kill a prisoner, and the front foot says that you will treat the former Ming clan well, and the back foot will destroy the fifth prince of Zhu, which is also smart. Li Xiangqian smiled meaningfully.

"Let Zheng Sen be in charge of something, this time, it's time to prepare to solve the affairs of the Zheng family, and our navy and East India Company should also be established!"

The remedied land is in Hong Kong.

At this time, the elders can only control the area of Hong Kong Island, not to mention the New Territories, not even Kowloon.

Paying for the food and water of tens of thousands of people is not something that can be done on Hong Kong Island at present, but money can be channeled, as we all know.

In the Hereafter, there is an important assertion.

When you have 1 nuclear bomb, you are the axis of terror, when you have 10 nuclear bombs, you are the destabilizing factor in the region, when you have 100 nuclear bombs, you are an important country to maintain regional stability, when you have 500 nuclear bombs, you are an important maintainer of the world pattern, and when you have more than 2,000 nuclear bombs, you are the main force to defend the peace of the earth, the beacon of humanity.

In the same way, when you only have a dozen thieves under your command, you are a thief who does all kinds of evil.

When you have dozens or hundreds of younger brothers who can come out and fight at any time, you are a small criminal gang.

When you say hello, hundreds of clan relatives, and family thugs come out to work hard, you are one of the most wealthy families in the local area, occasionally taking out one percent of the money from robbery and drug trafficking to repair bridges and roads, and buy new clothes for monks and masters who drink wine and eat meat, gamble and prostitute themselves, then the literati of later generations will use their most sensual words to praise you and praise you as a good person.

When you have ten thousand little brothers, you can leave your name in history, if the color is good, you will surrender, maybe your descendants will compile your glorious deeds into a TV series and spread it.

By the same token, when a group of regular troops numbered 100,000, a thousand warships and transports, and the light of a cannon salvo could light up the sky, any county magistrate knew what he had to do.

"A week ago, the fleet that came to Batavia from Europe brought a batch of munitions, and we have too little information to grasp, if we had followed a fixed route and waited for them to set sail again, the hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese would have been killed long ago." Sun Cisco said slowly.

"So we have to choke the throat of fate and control the timing of the exclusion of Chinese by ourselves, and it is best if chaos just starts, and our army rushes directly into the port."

", we have a black eye over there, the elders can't go over in person, they will be targeted at a glance, the Han people there are mainly Liangguang and Min people, and they don't understand the language, maybe the richer people are still very good, but ......"

"Then what to do, we must get it done as soon as possible, tens of thousands of people are all top eatable guys, we can't afford to raise them."

Li Xiangqian seemed to be very interested in the affairs of the south, shook his head occasionally, and said: "No wonder they are so eager for colonization, it is simply a big profit as a fake, and I will do it if I do it, since this is the case, then let's start, this earth, a big fist is reasonable." ”

"Well, then, what if the other party finds out about us and suddenly stops."

"Why did they do it all of a sudden? We are getting stronger and stronger, they no longer have the upper hand in firearms and shipping, and the intelligence and diligence of the Nanyang Han people also make them afraid, dozens of times the population gap, once someone wakes up, hook up with us, it is very easy. ”

"Then let's fake it, seize the time to rest these days, and then go to Batavia to spread the news, spread the information we have gathered, and see what those Han people will do, and we will go over."

"Most of them should learn to protect themselves, but they are few and disunited, and there are traitors ...... inside"

"If you die, you can only be sorry, when you hear that someone is slaughtering, you don't want to protect yourself, and if you listen to rumors, we can only ......"

"Calculate it, if you remove the possibility of encountering wind and waves on the road, it will take about ten days, but we have to reserve more supplies, otherwise these northern soldiers are not resistant to shipping, and they will vomit when they get off the ship, of course, the problem is not here, people get to the land, after occupying the open space in Jakarta, there is time to rest, considering the time difference, if the middle journey takes ten days, then it will take at least a few days to deliver the news in Jakarta and spread it, so how to choose this time window......"

The spread was early, the Westerners made a move in advance, the Han people suffered countless casualties, the spread was late, and the Westerners killed it before they could do it, which was considered a sneak attack.

It's a really hard rhythm to grasp.

"Therefore, it is always best for thieves to shout to catch thieves, as for the flow of laundry detergent or the flow of missing soldiers, it is up to everyone, our cinema system is still too stupid to brainwash the whole world, when, the people of the world, all think, although the elders will kill hundreds of thousands of people, but send benevolence, righteousness and morality, although the elders will kill a little people, but there must be something wrong with the people who were killed, you people who were killed, you should reflect on it in hell."
