Zheng Zhilong is now inflated.

He announced that Nan'an Bo became the king of Nan'an from the day of the day, all the way smoothly, his soldiers and horses were invincible, his sphere of influence was not only the whole Fujian Province at its largest, but also extended to the west and Guangzhou, and to the east covered Zhejiang and Jiangsu, including the entire Taiwan Strait and some nearby islands, from Hainan Island in the west, Kinmen Island, and Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and other large and small islands all belonged to Zheng Jiajun's sphere of influence.

To the north, his strength was expanding to the south of Jiangxi and the south of Hunan, and with Li Dingguo's arrival, the entire Guizhou was also incorporated into his sphere of influence, that is to say, the vast areas in the southwest, south and the entire southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty were now all under the control of their Zheng army.

This is strength, not to mention Zheng Zhilong, who was born as a pirate and once dominated the Taiwan Strait, would swell if he was replaced by anyone.

And not only that, Zheng Zhilong has also gained widespread support internationally. The first to make it clear that it was Portugal that supported him, for the sake of their long-term interests in the entertainment city, and also after Edward returned from his trip to Guangxi, Portugal expressed its full support for Zheng Zhilong, guns, guns, ships, and even direct troops if necessary.

Don't underestimate little Portugal, this is one of the world's top powers at that time, Britain, France, and Russia are still ignorant teenagers at this time, not to mention the United States, the Americans are still in the legs of the hermit and the French at this time, the world is Spain and Portugal have the final say, plus a newly rising sea coachman Netherlands, none of these three countries can afford to provoke, so it is not easy to get the support of Portugal, Zheng Zhilong has a feeling of flattery.

The second one who clearly expressed his support for Zheng Zhilong was the eastern neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, the Sakura Country, he and the Ming Dynasty had many wars in history, and there were victories and defeats against each other. But now that the Ming Empire has declined, it has long ceased to be China's follower. In the thirteenth century, there were Japanese invaders in China's maritime frontiers, especially in the Jiajing period, the pirates of the Sakura Kingdom repeatedly came to invade, arrogant and arrogant, only then did Qi Jiguang resist the Japanese feat, and later because of the two countries have fought several wars.

The current Sakura Kingdom entered the Edo period, and the power of the court fell into the hands of the Tokugawa family, which was called Tokugawa Rule.

The country is actually the same as people, some people's quality is really not good, he can only see his own good life, but not see the good of others, if others are better than him, he is envious and jealous, if others are not as good as him, then he bullies others.

This kind of person is very hateful, the Ming Dynasty declined, many countries are happy, including the cherry blossom country, but now the Ming Dynasty because of Lin Yi's crossing back to life, and now it has burst out of vitality, its momentum is more than that of the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Yongle Emperor time, the vigorous Manchu government was driven abroad, the mountains and forests did not dare to come out, Mongolia and the dynasty and the south of Burma surrendered to the Ming Dynasty again, in just ten years, a powerful eastern empire is about to emerge.

This is what Sakura Country does not want to see, the Ming Dynasty is aggressive and murderous, and the Tokugawa General feels an obvious threat, but now he has just entered the rule from chaos, and now he is powerless to confront the Ming Dynasty, but they see that the Tagawa family has a good son-in-law, this is Zheng Zhilong's strength is so strong, and the future is limitless, so he must be strongly supported. So the Tian Chuan family entered politics from business and went to Fujian in person.

Zheng Zhilong personally met with this uncle Taro Tagawa, this is the brother of Zheng Zhilong's wife Tagawa Matsu, is the uncle of Zheng Damu (Zheng Chenggong), and now he is the great commander of the Sakura Country, the owner of Hirado Island, when Zheng Zhilong went to Nanyang and Dongyang to do business as a pirate, the door frame was about to be broken by Zheng Zhilong, in addition to relatives, they are also old friends, so they and Zheng Zhilong met very happily, and after a long talk, Tagawa Taro returned satisfied.

Next, the Dutch East Magic Country Company entrenched in Taiwan also sent an envoy, which was Wei Malang's assistant Van der Lane.

Now the Netherlands is amazing, don't look at him as a small country in the continent, but its rise indicates the decline of Spain and Portugal, changing the pattern of the world, it used to be Spain and grapes dominating the world, but now it is different, although now the Netherlands is not fully independent, Spain still has a great influence on them, but this emerging commercial empire thrives with unstoppable momentum, and has defeated Spain several times, fighting for colonies everywhere, and driving the Spaniards away from the island of Taiwan to replace them.

The strength of the Netherlands, someone once made statistics, there were 20,000 merchant ships in the world at that time, and there were 12,000 in the Netherlands alone, which shows that the strength of the Netherlands, a strong navigation and commercial undertaking of course requires a strong army, the invincible armadas of Spain and Portugal have been defeated by the Dutch fleet, and the Dutch naval fleet has replaced it as a real maritime hegemon.

In the second half of the 17th century, the residents of the Hidden Country rebelled, and the Dutch Armada sailed on the sea and was invited to go to the Hidden Country to suppress the mob uprising.

But what is surprising is that such a powerful Dutch fleet has repeatedly been defeated in the hands of Zheng Zhilong's private navy, especially the Battle of Kinmen in the 20s of the 17th century, which was a shame for the Dutch navy. Two state-of-the-art Dutch warships, entangled in Zheng Zhilong's private navy and some of Daming's fishing boats, were finally burned.

The Dutch navy, which vainly wants to dominate the world, has to bow its head to the navy of Zheng Jiajun, and now whether it is their merchant ships or warships, as long as they pass through the Taiwan Strait, they must honestly stop and pay taxes, and if they do not take out a few thousand taels of silver in exchange for a pass, Zheng Zhilong's army will let them be robbed or stranded at any time.

The current Zheng family navy is an authentic maritime hegemon, and the Dutch navy, known as the world's boss, has become a "little brother" in front of them.

And now Zheng Zhilong's strength has increased greatly, the actual control of the sea territory area is more than one-third of the territory of the Ming Empire, Zheng Zhilong declared independence as the king, and the Ming Dynasty fell out, these two years of endless war, entrenched in Taiwan these red haired people are not blind, they reported to the Dutch king in time, under the temptation of huge profits, the Dutch king of course supports the existence of the East Magic Kingdom Company in Taiwan, while fighting hard to curry favor with Zheng Zhilong, in order to protect their vested interests in Taiwan and the East, this is their big policy.

Taking advantage of the Ming civil war, they wantonly sent more troops to Taiwan, from the original 5,000 or 6,000 to the current 15,000, the number of warships increased from the original 200 to the current 600, and the number of merchant ships rounding and forth reached 2,000.

On the other hand, castles were built on a large scale, and the Dutch castles were world-class and impregnable, and two have now been built.

But the Dutch now they do not want to fall out with Zheng Zhilong, but instead support Zheng Zhilong's rebels to start a war with the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong also warmly received this Van der Lane, and Van der Laan said that the East Magic Country Company is willing to become a permanent friend with Zheng Jiajun, and when needed, guns and guns can be given, and warships can also be given.

Zheng Zhilong applauded, you must know that the Dutch Navy is the first in the world, and its weapons and equipment can dominate the world, and it can get such strong support, of course Zheng Zhilong can't ask for it.

Now Zheng Zhilong is calculating, with such a large territory, not counting Li Dingguo's men, he can mobilize more than 450,000 people, only the water division has 100,000, and there is the support of so many powers, not to mention the rebirth of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, what am I afraid of Zheng Zhilong!

Zheng Zhilong swelled further, he found a number of fortune tellers to look at his old mansion in Nan'an, Fujian, and then went to his current Nan'an palace to see, as a result, these fortune tellers all said in unison that he was blessed and noble, and their mansion had the air of a real dragon.

Zheng Zhilong was very happy to hear it, it seems that his name is right, Zheng Zhilong's dragon, that is, he is a hidden dragon in the abyss, and he is not a thing in the pool after all, and now the time to take off has come!

China's thousands of years of changes in the country told him that this world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one person and one surname, the emperor's old Liu family can sit, the old Li family, the old Zhao family, and the old Zhu family can all sit, is it possible that he Zheng Zhilong can't sit down?

Li Zicheng has been a thief for more than ten years and is also called the emperor, Zhang Xianzhong only has one Sichuan and is also the emperor, no matter what I Zheng Zhilong is better than them, of course, I can sit on such a chair.

His civil and military staff had already seen through his scheming, and they all encouraged him to ascend the throne, and the country name was also thought of for him, Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime, Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime, and the one he established should be called the Danan regime.

Zheng Zhilong appreciated it very much.

The auspicious day of the enthronement ceremony is also optimistic, that is, March 19, 1648, and now there are two months left from this day, but this enthronement is not a simple thing, the ministers and foreign ministers, three palaces and six courts, thousands of things, intricate, and have to build the palace inside, how can the scale of the Ningnan palace be done?

Therefore, the Ningnan palace tossed from top to bottom to be smoky, and even the officials of Fujian and other provinces were also making a fuss for him, just at this time, Zheng Damu and Li Dingguo's emergency document for help in defeat arrived, and people were in good spirits at happy events, Zheng Zhilong laughed when he saw it, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't make a fuss, pass on the order of the king, let the two of them go back to Nan'an quickly to see the lonely." ”

"No." The leader of the report is gone.

A few days later, Zheng Damu and Li Dingguo returned to the palace in Nan'an, Fujian, and saw the busy scene of the palace and the construction of a large number of buildings.

"Oh young marshal, oh no, the villain should call you Your Highness in the future," this person quickly changed his words, respectfully, as if he had seen the crown prince, "The prince is about to ascend the throne, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Southern Emperor ......"

The two of them were stunned when they heard it, they never thought that Zheng Zhilong would actually be called the emperor, Zheng Damu was not happy at all, he even found it difficult to accept, and secretly complained that his father was really confused, isn't this a rebellion? At the beginning, his father changed Ning Nanbo to the king of Ningnan, he was very unhappy, saying that his father wanted to become the target of the world, he had been persuaded many times, and was scolded by Zheng Zhilong, now Zheng Zhilong is going to take a dangerous step, Zheng Chenggong is a little intolerable, he used to call Lin Yi a national thief, and now if his father becomes the emperor, he is not as good as Lin Yi, anyway, Lin Yi did not ascend the throne and sit in the palace, the country is from the Ming Dynasty, the emperor can only be surnamed Zhu, how can he be surnamed Zheng!

Li Dingguo's face was also cloudy, of course he didn't approve of Zheng Zhilong being the emperor in his heart, he could only be his godfather Zhang Xianzhong to be the emperor, and now the two of them are cooperating to crusade against the common enemy Lin Yi, his purpose is very clear is to save his godfather Zhang Xianzhong, not to protect Zhang Zhilong as the emperor, what qualifications does a pirate have to win the honor of the world's ninety-five?

When the two of them saw Zheng Zhilong pleading guilty, Zheng Zhilong pulled Li Dingguo and his son Zheng Damu up, and they were very happy, and they did not treat them in the slightest.

But Zheng Damu had two things that he had to report to his father, the king, one was the killing of his general Shi Xian.

After Zheng Zhilong heard this, his eyes widened, and Zheng Damu was so frightened that he quickly knelt down,

"Livestock ......" Zheng Zhilong was furious, in his opinion, it was nothing for his son to lose the battle and lose this territory, but Shi Xian was killed, he couldn't accept it, Shi Xian is Zheng Zhilong's henchman and favorite general, and he has repeatedly made military exploits, this is one, the second is because Shi Xian's brother Shi Lang and uncle Shi Fu are leading the main force of the water division to fight with the Ming army, their Shi family's war exploits are pardoned, the military power is in hand, Shi Xian has made such a great achievement, but he lost a city and the crime is not dead, and now he has lost his head, how to explain to the Shi family in the future? Even if he became the emperor, this matter is also chilling.

Zheng Damu knelt on the ground to complain about his grievances, and Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Ming, Zheng Jing and others next to him hurriedly persuaded Zheng Zhilong, and finally persuaded Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Damu saw that his father was angry, and didn't dare to say the second thing, two days later, he and Li Dingguo came to see Zheng Zhilong, and the two persuaded Zheng Zhilong to take back his life.

Zheng Zhilong was furious again, Li Dingguo didn't care, his son actually opposed Lao Tzu? tied Zheng Damu up and threw him in prison in front of Li Dingguo, ignoring Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo felt that Zheng Zhilong was going to be the emperor, and he was not as good as Emperor Chongzhen, so he was disheartened, so he led the guards to leave without saying goodbye that night......

On March 19, Zheng Zhilong really wore a dragon robe, and on this day, on the Nanjing River, Lin Yi took his naval array marines and 3,000 sailors to board the giant battleship.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom" There were a few loud noises, and Lin Yi saw through the telescope that a target ship ten miles away was blown up, with flames and thick smoke billowing into the sky.

At this time, someone came to report, and Lin Yi heard it: "Zheng Zhilong is actually the emperor, it's really a death!" ”
