I don't know when Zheng Chenggong has become accustomed to the feeling of being at sea.

The feeling of being adrift is more reassuring than stepping on solid ground.

Maybe he was destined to be the son of the sea.

Zheng Chenggong was born in Japan and lived in the family of a local dainyo since he was a child.

It was only when he reached the age of studying that he was taken back to his hometown in Fujian by his father.

Crossing the ocean, Zheng Chenggong was very scared at that time.

The crisp sound of the waves crashing against the side of the boat makes people palpitate.

And then there are the seagulls, which are always hovering above the boat, whirling and whirling......

It has been said that the seagull is the dead crew became.

Every time a crew member dies, his soul becomes a seagull.

Maybe that's why seagulls are always around the boats. Those dead sailors are also afraid of loneliness.

Zheng Chenggong remembers that he was particularly fond of counting seagulls at that time. One, two, three. I fell asleep while counting.

He traveled from Japan to Fujian and spent several such days and nights. There was a shortage of supplies at sea, so I could only eat some pickled vegetables and dried steamed buns in advance.

Zheng Chenggong, like the rest of the crew, did not have the slightest privilege.

But he survived.

Maybe it was because of that time that Zheng Chenggong developed a character that did not admit defeat easily. Later, he was sent by his father to Nanjing Guozijian to study, and then he met today's son and went to study at the Huangming Military Academy instead.

Everything was as if it were meant to be.

After graduating from the Huangming Military Academy, he went to Shandong to observe the government and witnessed with his own eyes how the officers and soldiers built fortresses and how they resisted the ferocious attacks of the Tartars. After that, he went to Shandong, went to Denglai, and became a member of the Denglai Water Division.

Under the command of Governor Zhang Kentang, Zheng Chenggong's performance became better and better, and he gradually emerged.

Just when he was full of ambition and thought that the time had come to make a big difference, he suddenly heard bad news.

There is news that his father Zheng Zhilong is secretly in contact with Dongyu and plotting against him.

This news shocked the government and the opposition like a thunderclap.

Nanjing's civil and military officials were in an uproar.

You must know that Zheng Zhilong is the general town of Fujian, and he was personally canonized by today's son of Nan'anhou.

Such a warlord with a heavy army actually secretly made the imperial court lose face.

As the son of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong was in the whirlpool of public opinion at that time.

He couldn't defend his father, because if he did, he would be wrong, and it had nothing to do with what he said.

Zheng Chenggong remained silent. Rao is like this, and the imperial historians do not intend to let him go.

These officials jointly wrote a letter, asking the Son of Heaven to severely punish Zheng Chenggong and detain him as a bargaining chip to threaten Zheng Zhilong.

Just when everyone thought that Zheng Chenggong would not escape, the Son of Heaven did not "follow the good as the stream", but chose to protect Zheng Chenggong.

To tell the truth, Zheng Chenggong has not figured out why the Son of Heaven would protect him until now.

After all, Zheng Chenggong has Zheng Zhilong's blood in his body, and if Zheng Zhilong really has bad intentions, it is obviously the best choice to hold Zheng Chenggong.

But the Son of Heaven just didn't send Zheng Chenggong to prison, and even personally summoned Zheng Chenggong to encourage him.

Zheng Chenggong still clearly remembers every detail of His Majesty's meeting.

The Son of Heaven personally untied the big hat and draped it on his body, so that he could experience in the army with peace of mind and not have to be distracted by gossip.

Zheng Chenggong was so moved at that time that he immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted long live.

Things have come to this point, and the Son of Heaven can still trust him so much, and his touching is really difficult to describe in words.

Since then, Zheng Chenggong has sworn that his life has been sold to His Majesty, and His Majesty will tell him to go to Dao Mountain, and he will not frown when he gets off the oil pot.

With the encouragement of the Son of Heaven and the support of the governor, Zheng Chenggong became more and more outstanding, which led to the later victory on Bison Island, and became famous in the world.

Zheng Chenggong also changed from a young and immature young man to a general with rich experience in naval warfare.

I'm afraid only he knows the warmth and sadness of it.

It is precisely because all this is not easy to come by, so Zheng Chenggong will cherish it very much.

He fought every battle fought by the commander as the last battle, and every battle was completed very purely.

He is convinced that only by immersing himself in the fight itself can he perform at his best.

Later, there was a troubled situation in the southeast, and the Son of Heaven was worried about it.

After some careful consideration, the Son of Heaven decided to order Zheng Chenggong and Han Yangbing to come to Pingwei, Zhejiang in two ways.

The hardest-hit area of Zhejiang's woes was in Ningbo, and Zheng Chenggong did not hesitate to lead his troops to Ningbo.

After witnessing the devastated scene along the coast, Zheng Chenggong hated the roots of his teeth.

He secretly swore that he would avenge the dead people by slashing these Japanese who had killed a thousand knives.

Everyone has to pay for what they do.

These would-be robbers should not be allowed to escape easily if they did such a thing that was outrageous to the gods and gods.

Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away.

Even if they fled to Champa, Manila, and Java, Zheng Chenggong would have to arrest them back to the Ming Dynasty.

Call.

The sea breeze blew through the corners of his eyes, and Zheng Chenggong's eyes were slightly red.

"General, I found an island and reef in front of you!"

Just when Zheng Chenggong was stunned, his personal soldiers said respectfully.

"Oh?"

Zheng Chenggong withdrew from his thoughts, took the binoculars from his own soldiers, and squinted one eye to look at it.

I saw that the black spots that could only be seen with the naked eye were magnified several times, and Zheng Chenggong could clearly see the scene on the islands and reefs. Fortresses, cannons, and even patrolling pirates.

This thing called the telescope is also an invention of His Majesty the Emperor.

It is said that there are only three in the Ming Dynasty.

One is in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, one is in Denglai Water City, and one is on Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong brought this telescope with him when he came to Southeast Pingwei this time, and he didn't expect it to work wonders at this time.

Zheng Chenggong tried to calm his mood and desperately told himself to stay calm.

The closer you get to victory, the more calm you must be, and you must not let your emotions affect you.

"Pass my command, the fleet turn the rudder left and go to the flank of the island ahead."

Zheng Chenggong clearly saw through the telescope that the island's defense was meticulous, and if he chose to attack head-on, he would probably not take advantage of it.

He doesn't fight uncertain battles, and he doesn't rush to order a strong attack until he is sure of it.

For now, it's a good idea to take a detour.

The soldiers clenched their fists and received the order, trotted to the flag officer, and ordered him to play the flag.

The fleet travels above the sea, and the communication between them is by the flag.

Commands such as left-turner, right-turn rudder, hoist, and sail are all codified into flags, and each ship can respond in a timely manner as long as it is played.

Sure enough, after seeing the flagship waving the flag of the left-turn rudder, the rest of the ships obeyed the order. The entire fleet headed towards the left flank of the island ahead.
