"Boy Jiang Zhe, I've seen my seniors."

On Zhifu Island, when Zheng Zhilong was discussing with Shi Fu, Jiang Zhe also met his own old-timer Chen Ding. Although this has not been mentioned a few times in Zheng Zhilong's mouth, the weight is quite different.

"It turned out to be Secretary Jiang, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet it." Chen Ding didn't dare to look down on the young man in front of him at all. Zheng Zhilong has set up a new secretarial office, don't look at the Jiang Zhe in front of him is not yet thirty years old, but it has already had a great impact on his status as the mastermind of the Zheng family.

In this winter, in the news of going to the south several times, Zheng Zhilong flashed the figure of this young man by his side.

How dare Chen Ding underestimate him?

He was also a character who was promoted after Zheng Zhilong crossed over, but he was soon separated from Zheng Zhilong for a year, but Jiang Zhe was the person who accompanied Zheng Zhilong during these days.

Just saying that the increase and decrease in this emotional score is enough to make Chen Ding concentrate.

Of course, one of his greater advantages over Jiang Zhe is that he has already joined the Zheng Group, and he is familiar with the internal mountains and the situation of Dayuan Island and Nanyang outside.

This is something that Jiang Zhe can never compare.

And in the next time, Zheng Zhilong will face things that Jiang Zhe is not familiar with.

In fact, when Zheng Zhilong asked about Nanyang things, Jiang Zhe really kept his mouth shut.

Chen Ding hopes that Jiang Zhe can actively open his mouth and talk more about things he doesn't understand, not only will he not score, but he will deduct points.

But Jiang Zhe didn't.

"The Portuguese are gone. Three years ago they were forbidden to trade by the Japanese, two years ago they lost Malacca, the Battle of South Sea Spices, and the Dutch already had a lot of the initiative. It is said that they were in the Tianzhu Sea and the land west of Tianzhu, and they also suffered defeats in a row. ”

Chen Ding has a hands-on attitude towards Portugal.

It is believed that by taking the opportunity of the internal struggle in Xiyi, he will defeat Portugal, take back Haojing, and use Zheng's army as a stronghold in Guangdong Province, and then use East Timor to the Dutch, plus the loosening of trade with China, in exchange for the concession of the Dutch on Dayuan Island.

"It's easy to trade with the Dutch in China, but East Timor is just a wilderness, and what is gained is far less than what is lost, how can the Dutch be willing?" Zheng Zhilong really didn't think about eradicating Portugal.

"Then the Dutch had to be willing. Ganlaro has a good relationship with Johor Sudan, which can be used as a bridge to bring Johor for his own use. "When the Portuguese were there, the Dutch and the Johor-Bahreites were natural allies, but now that the Dutch have replaced the Portuguese, can they continue to be friendly?

"Then, the subordinates thought that our army could also contact Lord Zheng to attack Nanruan and divide the land equally, so that he would turn his back on the Dutch, and he would not be obedient to Northern Zheng."

"And in Dayuan Island, we can also win over Guo Huaiyi, He Bin and other Han leaders, and ask them to lead Han people into our territory. Dayuan Island has fertile land, and Dashuai only needs to treat everyone equally, so that he can live and work in peace and contentment, which is enough to attract people. At that time, there will be no more than 10,000 Han people, relying only on the aborigines, how can the Dutch still have fart money? ”

Everyone in the Zheng group knew that the Dutch occupying the big government were not the Dutch government, but just a powerful private company.

All the activities of the Dutch in the countries of the East were based on profit.

As long as the Dutch feel that the gains outweigh the losses, they will give up themselves. For example, the rule of the Spaniards in the chicken coop area, which has been losing money year after year, can still hold on for so long, and if they were Dutch, they would have given up a long time ago.

This is the biggest difference between a government and a businessman.

Chen Ding advocated a move against the Portuguese and 'negotiate' with the Dutch. Naturally, there were people within the group who advocated a direct attack on the Dutch.

Helping the weak and striking the strong. Whoever is strong will fight whom, is this the right solution!

Zheng Hongkui is this attitude. Advocate a move on the Dutch. But it was not Hongguoguo's direct attack on the Netherlands, but the trick of using Chen Ding's plan to lure the Hanmin under the Dutch forced the Dutch to fire the first shot. Grab a moral head start yourself.

After defeating the Dutch, the Zheng family was able to balance all parties on one acre and three points of land north of the South China Sea.

After the Portuguese received the support of the Zheng group, they just used it to scare the Dutch.

And the big duck on Luzon Island seems to be irreconcilable with the Dutch in the short term, so there is no need to worry about the two joining forces.

A single Dutchman, not terrible. Their ships were powerful, but their numbers were too small.

Zheng Zhilong's fingers tapped on the handrail again and again, and he couldn't make a decision immediately. is crazy thinking about the memories of his past life in his head, but unfortunately, as a non-history major, he really doesn't have anything in his head.

For reference, Comrade Guo's reconquest of Taiwan can give him a certain amount of confidence - the Dutch East India Company is not invincible!

At least there is no coaxing, whoever provokes me, I will do whomever I want.

So, can the big man be taken out of the situation in the whole South Seas and counted as an isolated unit?

Zheng Chenggong led troops to fight at that time, and the strength in his hands and his momentum should not be as good as Zheng Zhilong's now.

The Dutch didn't come to retaliate, so what if Zheng Zhilong is going to fight now? (In fact, there is revenge, more than once, but the crossing man doesn't know.) Therefore, ignorance is more fearless)

It is not that there has been no fight between the two, and the naval battle of Luowan has only been ten years. The last battle between Zheng and the Dutch had only passed three or four years.

Compared with the Zheng Army's naval division, which suffered heavy losses in the main battleships at the beginning, over the years, Zheng Zhilong's surface strength has not only recovered, but also gained more. Just on paper - large plywood boats, Zheng's sailors are much more terrifying.

"Send a clipper to send a message to Zheng Hongkui (Zheng Hongkui) and ask him to talk to the Dutch first. See if Paul is willing to take a step back. ”

Zheng Zhilong felt that there was still a battle between them, but it would be better to talk about it before that.

Dayuan Island is his big rear, and Zheng Zhilong, who has a lot of technical content, will not stay in Quanzhou for a long time, but is ready to migrate to Dayuan.

Anping is just a town, the scale is limited, and it is the most important private port of the Zheng Group at present, so it is unimaginable that people don't come and go too much, and everything is piled up here.

At the same time, he never wanted to see himself stabbed in the back by the Dutch when he was fighting fiercely with the Tartars.

So, to get rid of the Dutch threat, that's necessary.

"Tell Guo Huaiyi and He Bin that as long as they return, I, as a big brother, will not treat them badly."

In the eighteen Zhili, Zheng Zhilong, who is not the oldest, is the first leading brother. Guo Huaiyi and He Bin, one ranked seventeenth, and the other ranked eighteenth.

When the brothers parted ways, both of them voted for the Dutch, and now one is the eldest brother in the Han immigrants, and the other is doing business for the Dutch. He is also a member of the Dutch authorities, and is in the first level below the Dutch.

But this achievement is so small compared to what Zheng Zhilong and the others have done?

Then just like Fan Wencheng and others, if he is reused by the Tartars, he will not be able to become the master. His achievements are far worse than Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who played the pole and fought hard.

Zheng Zhilong will now give Guo Huaiyi and He Bin a chance to 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light'.

"Let them inquire about the distribution and arrangement of the Dutch forces, and the size of the ships in the big man......"

Zheng Zhilong believes that Guo and He will make the right choice.

A touch of loss flashed in Chen Ding's eyes, Zheng Zhilong's decision was completely based on fighting. Although his plan was not all useless, it was clearly not to the point......

This was not quite different from what he had thought before.

But Chen Ding was disappointed, but he also felt that today's Zheng Zhilong was different from the past. Has the King of Minhai, who lives and works in peace and contentment, really become a domineering and sharp Zheng anti-thief?

The Zheng group knew best how powerful the Dutch were, and Chen Ding thought that Zheng Zhilong was unwilling to fight the Dutch, because it would be a big trouble. Although there are hidden dangers in keeping the Dutch, this hidden danger is obviously not worth mentioning compared to the troubles that may be caused.

But Zheng Zhilong's current attitude is obviously not afraid of trouble, not afraid of fighting with the Dutch ......, as long as he can eradicate hidden dangers.

It seems that in the future, he will really forget all the impressions of Zheng Zhilong in the past.
