"There will be no mistake, what happened on the North Korean side, and the Denglai Navy Division led by my eldest brother is the enemy, can it be fake?" When Zheng Hongkui heard this, he immediately said solemnly, "Hongyi wolf's ambition dares to be the enemy of my Zheng family, even if the court does not issue an order, my Zheng family must give them a look, otherwise, how can they be mixed up on this sea?" ”

He Bin understands that the Zheng family has been collecting protection fees from passing ships and has made a lot of profits every year. This is based on the premise that the Zheng family is the strongest here, and now that Hongyi dares to challenge the authority of the Zheng family, the Zheng family will of course react.

However, he didn't want to, so he thought that he was mixing well now, so he accompanied him carefully and said: "Fourth master, that should be done by the Hongyi in Nagasaki, and it has nothing to do with the Hongyi in Taiwan......"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongkui's face sank, and he snorted heavily, and He Bin suddenly couldn't speak. So, he immediately changed his tone and said: "But outsiders definitely don't know this, why don't the villain go and talk about it, and let the governor of Garon apologize to the fourth master and make amends?" ”

The current Dutch governor of Taiwan is Garon, who just arrived last year, and before that, he was in charge of the Dutch Merchant House in Nagasaki.

Zheng Hongkui heard this, and said with a sneer: "For this matter, the imperial court has sent my nephew south to serve as a coastal defense guerrilla, or you go and talk to the current emperor about this matter, and say that it is a misunderstanding?" ”

In the matter of attacking Hongyi, this He Bin is a very crucial part of the plan, so he has been patient. Otherwise, with the temper of a pirate, he will definitely turn his face.

Go and talk to the current emperor about misunderstanding...... He Bin thought in his heart, and couldn't help but say, then I dare to have the courage to be the first!

If he had changed his early years, he might not really take the emperor seriously. Otherwise, he would not have engaged in piracy and worked under the Dutch, who were hostile to the Ming Dynasty.

But over the years, the emperor's wise and martial deeds have been constantly transmitted. The Ming thieves, the Mongolian Tatars, and the Liaodong Jianguo were all suppressed by the emperor himself, and invisibly, the weight of the emperor became heavier and heavier in his heart, and he involuntarily became afraid to offend.

Thinking so, he smiled bitterly and said: "Fourth master, the villain is not even a fart in the eyes of the emperor, how can he be qualified to speak......"

"But if you do this well, the good news will be presented to the emperor, maybe the emperor will know about you!" When Zheng Hongkui said this, his face sank again, and he shouted categorically, "Do you do it or not?" ”

Seeing that Zheng Hongkui was about to get angry, He Bin didn't dare to talk about it anymore. Because he knew that once the imperial court really made a decision, the Zheng family was determined to deal with Hongyi, and Hongyi would definitely not be able to bear it. Otherwise, Hongyi would not obediently watch the Zheng family make a lot of money, not to mention, and pay money to the Zheng family every year.

Therefore, He Bin immediately straightened his attitude and immediately replied: "Do it, the fourth master has ordered, the villain must be done, after all, the villain is also a Ming person, and he is a subordinate of the Zheng family!" ”

Seeing that he agreed, Zheng Hongkui's face looked a little better, and he immediately said to him: "I just said, if you do this well, the reward of the court will not be less, maybe you will have a higher official position than other old brothers in the future." I'll tell you a good news, the emperor has already said that in the future, he will re-use the water division, crisscross the sea, and Xiyi, conquer the four seas, and when the time comes, the marquis will worship the general, the wife and the son, and the great future is waiting for my brothers on the sea! ”

Hearing this, He Bin didn't believe it. As for the old antiques in the imperial court, how could they let the Ming Dynasty go to the sea like Xiyi? Zheng Hongkui said this, just to tempt himself to work for his Zheng family!

Thinking so in his heart, on the surface, He Bin still nodded again and again: "That's really good, we are mixed in the sea, and we will have hope in the future!" ”

However, how could Zheng Hongkui not know what was going on in his heart!

You must know that when they knew about this situation at that time, they didn't believe it, and then Zheng Chenggong explained it again and again, and then they believed it. But this He Bin didn't doubt it at all, and immediately believed it, which was obviously perfunctory.

In this regard, Zheng Hongkui made a serious face and said seriously: "Or this is better, after the matter is completed, or you will be rewarded by the imperial court; Or, my Zheng family promises you benefits. You can choose whichever you want, but no matter what, you must do it with your heart and mind, and there must be no perfunctory! ”

Hearing this, He Bin knew that the thoughts in his heart had been seen through by Zheng Hongkui, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The Zheng family's reputation has always been very good, and the benefits promised can be realized. is also the same, many brothers will follow the Zheng family. Now that there is Zheng Hongkui's guarantee, there is no need to worry about the remuneration after the fact.

So, after coming back to his senses, he immediately showed a smile, and said to Zheng Hongkui with a smile: "It's still the fourth master's boldness, if you don't say it, you will rush to the fourth master, and the villain will definitely choose the Zheng family." The fourth master can rest assured, the villain will definitely do his best for what the fourth master ordered! ”

When Zheng Hongkui heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, revealing an inexplicable smile, and then asked seriously: "This is your own choice, but if you think about it, you won't regret it in the future?" Or, do you think about it again? ”

"No!" When He Bin heard this, he showed an expression full of indifference, waved his hand and said, "Fourth master, everyone in our rivers and lakes is a spit and a nail, and if you say it, it is the water that is spilled, so can it be taken back again?" ”

This is a pun, not only saying that he He Bin is a person in the rivers and lakes and will not regret it, but you Zheng Hongkui is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and he will definitely not regret it.

Zheng Hongkui heard this meaning, and couldn't help but be speechless for He Bin's cleverness. Wait until later to see if you regret your decision today.

This matter has been reminded again, and Zheng Hongkui didn't think to remind him again, so he began to ask He Bin about Hongyi's situation.

Don't say it, He Bin knew that the matter had come to this point, so he could only go one way, and immediately told Zheng Hongkui everything he knew about Hongyi.

After plotting for a while, He Bin got out of the cabin and disembarked like no one. And Zheng Hongkui, on his side, also set sail and returned to Xiamen.

…………

At this time in Xiamen, the warships that received military orders were mobilized from all over the place, and the port was full of warships. On the Fujian Governor's Mansion, there are also materials that are constantly being sent over. Fujian coastal defense guerrilla yamen, all kinds of people, in and out, in and out, all in a hurry.

As a result, inevitably gossipy people, either intentionally or unintentionally, began to inquire about what was going on.

"What's going on, looking at this posture, it looks like it's going to be a war, what's going on?"

"Surely there are pirates out there? It's all the sailors who have moves, but I haven't heard of anything else! ”

"Impossible, now there are still pirates who don't listen to the Zheng family, could it be that there are foreign Xiyi who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and collided with the Zheng family, no, no, no, they collided with the Fujian sailors, right?"

“……”

These people don't know the situation, and they start to guess. Even those who have a relationship find someone in the water division to ask about the situation.

Eventually, many people knew the reason and explained it to others.

"You don't know, the Japanese country is cheap again, and sent troops to invade North Korea, my Ming army is now fighting there, just rely on the Denglai Water Division, the troops are not enough, so we have to transfer the Fujian Water Division to reinforce it!"

"I see, don't say it, if you want to say that my Ming sailor is strong, of course, it belongs to our Fujian sailor!"

"I heard that the Denglai Naval Division is under the command of the Zheng family, and now that the Fujian Naval Division has been transferred over, it can be regarded as a father and son soldier!"

"Haha, let the Wa Guo Sailor taste the power of the Zheng family!"

"It's just that the road is too far, otherwise, the Wa Kingdom will dare to send troops!"

“……”

In order to gather forces to attack Taiwan's Hongyi, it is naturally impossible for such a large military operation to hide from those with good intentions. So, after Zheng Chenggong and others discussed, the rumor released, not to mention, at least passers-by listened to one letter and one letter, and also expressed their opinions on it, ridiculing the widows.

In the original history, the continent was constantly at war and very chaotic, and the Dutch always paid attention to the movements on the continent. When Zheng Chenggong proposed to attack Taiwan as a base area, his subordinates were reluctant, and this news was discovered by the Dutch in Taiwan early on.

As a result, Zheng Chenggong's side was not ready to fight, and the Taiwanese Dutch began to urgently prepare for Zheng Chenggong. Not only did they require all localities to strengthen reconnaissance and arming, but they also forbade the Chinese to sell grain in the city of Pumensha, and all the Chinese leaders and gentry were placed under house arrest in the city of Geranza to avoid collaborating with the enemy. All the rice that was not harvested in the fields was burned, and a total of 8,000 bags were burned, and all the Chinese who resisted were killed. Finally, a report was made to the governor of the city of Batavia, where reinforcements were called.

Although Zheng Chenggong has repeatedly denied that he will attack Taiwan, the rumors that leaked in advance still increase the difficulty of his attack on Taiwan.

At this time, he was busy in the yamen, and when he heard the news of Zheng Hongkui's return, he was a little anxious, and immediately put down what he was doing and went out to meet Zheng Hongkui.

The two quickly entered, and when they arrived at the back office, there were guards looking outside, and Zheng Hongkui said to Zheng Chenggong: "Those Hongyi are not as easy to fight as they imagined!" ”

After finishing speaking, he took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and flattened it, and then introduced it to Zheng Chenggong: "The two cities built by Hongyi are located on the east and west sides of this Taijiang River, and they are horns of each other. To get here, there are only two waterways. One is Dayuan Port in the south, and the other is the Luermen Channel in the north. Among them, the mouth of the South Passage is wide and deep, and ships can easily enter it, but the port is defended by enemy ships, and there are heavy artillery views on land, and it is necessary to go through a battle to pass. The North Passage is shallow and narrow, and can only be ...... by boat"
