Zhang Kentang was shocked when he heard this, and he still had this kind of operation in his heart.

But think about what kind of person Zheng Chenggong is, his son Zheng Zhilong started as a haikou. Zheng Chenggong must be very clear about the doorways inside Haikou. At least he knows a lot better than a layman.

After a pause, Zhang Kentang muttered: "According to this, are there a lot of pirates along the coast of Denglai?" ”

Zheng Chenggong really fainted.

Is this governor joking?

"Generally speaking, pirates are hidden on small islands, and there are many small islands in the waters near Dengzhou, which is a possibility."

"Lord Futang, the lower officials don't know if they should say something or not."

At this time, Yuan Weitai suddenly spoke.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhang Kentang said lightly.

"What Zheng Xiaohou said is true, but it is not easy to find Haikou's lair. If you want to search the islands one by one, the manpower and material resources consumed are too huge. It would be great if you could take the initiative to lure the pirates out and then find their lair. ”

Yuan Weitai's suggestion did not rely on patting his head.

In fact, this is how Qi Jiguang dealt with the Japanese invaders back then.

When they come, they rob them, and when they rob them, they run away, and their behavior is very strange.

Often, when the officers and soldiers arrived, the Japanese had already run away.

Later, Qi Jiguang took the initiative to adjust his strategy and decided to send troops to wait in the place where the Japanese were often infested and wreaked.

Wait until the Woko appear and then suddenly kill.

Some of the Japanese were killed on the spot by the Qi family's army. There were also some who were lucky enough to get on the boat and escape.

This just gave Qi Jiguang the opportunity to pursue.

He ordered his soldiers to pursue the Wako by boat, and eventually chased them to their lair and wiped them out.

But I'm afraid this method is not suitable for the current situation.

The reason why the Japanese dare to be so unscrupulous is because they have arrogant capital.

After all, before Qi Jiguang trained the new army, the guards of the Ming Dynasty were really vulnerable.

It was often the case that dozens of would-be robbers ran after hundreds of officers and soldiers of the guards, which ended in losing the face of the Ming officers and soldiers.

In this case, of course, there is no need to expect the guards to create any deterrent to the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese also regarded the southeast coast as their own backyard, and they came and went whenever they wanted.

When they were happy, they committed more adultery and plundered along the coast, and when they were not happy, they simply set fire to it and burned it clean.

Of course, they eventually met the new army led by Qi Jiguang and paid the price for their arrogance.

Qi Jiguang also relied on the new army in his hand for more than ten years to completely eliminate the plague.

But now these pirates are not pirates.

Their strength is scattered, they fight on their own, and their combat effectiveness is not too strong.

As a result, the pirates seldom plundered the coast, and more often plundered passing ships.

This is also why Governor Zhang Kentang thinks that there are very few pirates near Denglai.

In fact, it's just that people are low-key.

Zheng Chenggong didn't intend to give Yuan Weitai face, he said in a deep voice: "Fuzun's words are wrong. It is impossible for pirates to take the initiative to wreak havoc on the coast, and they must scatter people to find out their lair. ”

After saying that, Zheng Chenggong saw that Yuan Weitai's face was a little ugly, and he regretted it a little. Did he just say that he was too strong?

After all, no matter how Yuan Weitai says it, he is also a dignified prefect of Dengzhou.

And Zheng Chenggong has nothing but the identity of a little marquis.

"Benfu thinks what Xiansheng said makes sense."

Zhang Kentang finally stood on Zheng Chenggong's side.

He stroked his beard and said quietly: "If you say so, Benfu will order someone to search the sea carefully." Would you like to go with you, O virtuous man? ”

Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

The idea of searching the sea was his, and he should be involved in it.

What's more, Zheng Chenggong himself also hopes to make some achievements in Denglai.

It would be nice to be able to wipe out some pirates.

"Good! This Fu will formulate a detailed charter, and then send sailors to search the sea! ”

...

...

As soon as Zhang Kentang and Yuan Weitai left, Zhang Huangyan said excitedly: "It's a good thing, this is really a great thing." I can't imagine that we have such a good opportunity to make a contribution, God really helps me. ”

Zheng Chenggong was not as excited as Zhang Huangyan.

He coughed twice and said, "Ahem, Fuzun wants to search the sea, and we can't be idle." Otherwise, I'll take out the charts and see which places are easy for pirates to use as nests. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded again and again: "That's very good." ”

At this time, the official charts of the Ming Dynasty were still in the state when Longqing opened the sea decades ago, and many details were no longer very accurate.

However, the chart that Zheng Chenggong took out was much more accurate.

Since the Zheng family has business contacts with Japan all the year round, they will definitely pass through Denglai, so the sea area near Denglai is still very clear.

I saw large and small islands dotted in the sea, which looked clear at a glance.

"This place, this place, and this place are perfect havens. I think it's likely that the pirates chose them as their nests. ”

Zheng Chenggong gave a very professional analysis, and Zhang Huangyan, who listened, nodded frequently.

"Hey, according to that, there are really a lot of pirates in the sea near Denglai. It seems that some of them hit this time. ”

"It's good. How can a sailor grow without fighting? I haven't heard of a sailor who can do it just by drilling. ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled: "I haven't been to sea for a long time, and this time I'm going to kill it!" ”

...

...

Nanjing Qianqing Palace, warm pavilion.

Zhu Cihong's face sank like water.

News came back from Fujian that the envoy sent by the imperial court was accidentally burned alive. And Zheng Zhilong also happened to be seriously ill.

In his original words in the recital, "The minister suddenly contracted a vicious disease, and his body was weak and could not go to the ground." ”

In this way, Zheng Zhilong naturally could not enter Beijing to report on his work.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zheng Zhilong is pretending to be sick, but what can he do?

Could it be that the Son of Heaven sent another imperial doctor to Fujian to diagnose Zheng Zhilong?

In this way, I am afraid that this imperial doctor will encounter an accident like the previous envoy, and he will either be buried in the fire or fall into the water and die.

Zheng Zhilong's such a tough statement was made for the imperial court.

As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Cihong's authority was challenged.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was more domineering than Zu Dashou back then.

If the imperial court does not deal with it seriously, its prestige will fall to the bottom.

But do you want to fight each other?

There is no doubt that the current number of troops in the Ming Dynasty can crush Zheng Zhilong. As long as Zheng Zhilong fights on land, he is not an opponent at all.

But the problem is that Zheng Zhilong may not be able to fight you on land.

The Zheng family has a large fleet of sailors, and they can't beat it.

When he arrived at sea, Zheng Zhilong could have no scruples.

The worst-case scenario is that Zheng Zhilong leads this water division to surrender.
