Outside the port of Majapahit, there were several ships of fortune that looked extremely formidable, and the rows of guns sticking out of the sides silently announced who was the master of the sea.

Originally, the Ming soldiers and pirate gangs who had just finished cutting down Java were very happy, and now they can continue to cut down Jajabya, which makes people even happier.

Although it is said that there is a risk in cutting people, but with the risk is a huge benefit, and the military exploits after winning the cut are enough to make everyone happy.

What's more, there are also severed heads and captured captives, these are all white flowers, and no one doesn't like them.

As for the matter of not winning by cutting, it is not in the consideration of Zheng Zhilong and Li Qizi at all, and even the entire Ming soldiers and all the pirate gangs do not have the concept of winning or not.

The warship is an invincible fortune ship in the world, or a fortune ship with enhanced firepower allocation;

The swords equipped by the pirates belong to the standard swords of the Ming military, and the absolute quality is trustworthy products, and it only takes one knife to cut off people's heads;

The guns and artillery equipped by the regular South China Sea Fleet soldiers are also military-standard equipment, and there is no need to worry about logistical pressure or anything.

If you can't cut down a group of barbarians who have just come down from the trees and just got rid of slash-and-burn cultivation in this case, don't shout about opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty, just soak urine and drown yourself!

The only problem is what His Majesty the Emperor will do with his own actions and burn the war to Majapahit.

Zheng Zhilong is not worried that he will not be able to win the barbarians, nor is he worried that he will not be able to earn military merits, and he is not worried that Emperor Chongzhen will cut off his head because of this.

Since becoming an official, Zheng Zhilong has learned a word called figuring out the meaning.

Who is the intention? The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies or something, although he is his top boss, Zheng Zhilong is not worried about them much.

Instead, he was worried about Emperor Chongzhen.

He led his troops to attack Majapahit, although he played a bright banner and won successive battles along the way, but the problem was that he did not have an edict.

Not only did he start a war without getting the will of Emperor Chongzhen, but he also did not get the will of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

So what Emperor Chongzhen would do with himself became a problem.

It is impossible to cut himself, after all, he is also dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, in order to have more captives as coolies, and his eldest son Zheng Fusong has now changed his name to Zhu Chenggong, so he studied with Emperor Chongzhen.

But it is inevitable to be beaten or even demoted.

I just don't know how many sticks I have to take, is it fifty? Or eighty? Or is it a hundred?

Or what position will he, the Admiral of the South Seas Fleet, be demoted? Guerrilla generals? Or is it a military presence?

These are all possible.

Zheng Zhilong was full of entanglement, and his little brother Zheng Zhifeng hurriedly ran over and reported to Zheng Zhilong the news that the angel was about to arrive.

Zheng Zhilong's heart trembled, and he secretly said that he was coming, so he cleaned up and prepared to welcome the angel.

When he saw his old acquaintance Ma Shi, Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Since it is an old acquaintance Ma Shi who came, it means that the treatment of himself will not be too serious, at least it will not exceed 80 military sticks or be reduced to below the guerrilla general or even be dismissed from the Nanyang Fleet.

It's just a military stick, and if you beat it, you can beat it, it doesn't matter.

As for demotion, as long as you don't get out of the South Sea Fleet, then you don't have the final say? After all, everyone in charge is their own brother.

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Shi met, he snorted coldly without smiling: "Admiral Zheng is really powerful, he will destroy a country without an edict, what are you planning to do?" ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "Angel, where are these words?" It was also in order to ensure the safety of Li Qizi's gang that I led my troops to Majapahit.

After all, Li Qizi and they are also my Ming people, and they are recruited in Java out of justice, such good people, we can't lose people, right? ”

Ma Shi snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Come on, take back all your bullshit reasons, none of us know who?" ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was speechless, Ma Shicai snorted again and said: "Admiral Zheng, for the matter of you leading troops to attack Majapahit without authorization, the results have come out. Bear with me! ”

After finishing speaking, Ma Shi ordered: "Ready!" ”

Hearing Ma Shi say that he endured these words, Zheng Zhilong knew that he had passed the test, and he was estimated to be beaten, but it would definitely not be too serious.

Sure enough, a few brocade guards who followed Ma Shi stepped forward and pressed Zheng Zhilong down on the deck, and went to look for the military stick again, before returning to Ma Shi and saying, "Father-in-law, it's all ready!" ”

Nodding, Ma Shi said: "In the mouth of the Son of Heaven: Zheng Zhilong entered the Manchu Boyi without obtaining a military order, and his crime should be punished!"

Remembering that he fought bloodily in Ryukyu, Java and other places, he was punished with eighty canes and fined for half a year to see the after-effects! If there is anything that is done without orders, it will not be forgiven! ”

Zheng Zhilong knelt down and bowed: "Sinner, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Ma Shi nodded, very satisfied with Zheng Zhilong's attitude, and shouted in a low voice: "Fight!" ”

The Jinyi guard in charge of the execution directly raised the military stick and hit Zheng Zhilong's back, and after three beatings, he warmed up, and then set his eyes on Ma Shi's feet.

Ma Shi stood with his feet in a figure-eight position, with a large gap in the middle that could fit a human head, and then shouted: "Beat our family hard!" ”

The brocade guard in charge of the execution pursed his lips, and then swung down the general's stick with force.

It's just that the military stick is extremely loud, and Zheng Zhilong also screams very miserably, but the oily skin is not broken at all.

After sixty strokes of the military stick, the strength that had been collected before was no longer collected, and the sturdy twenty military sticks hit Zheng Zhilong's back, and when he landed, the skin was open, and there was no longer a piece of good meat on the back of the bloody flesh.

After the fight, the four Jinyi guard captains who were executed grabbed Zheng Zhilong's hands and feet respectively, lifted them off the ground before letting go and slammed Zheng Zhilong on the deck.

After getting Jinyiwei's reinstatement, Ma Shi glared at Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhifeng and others, and shouted, "What are you doing standing stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and help your Admiral to heal your injuries? ”

After entering the cabin, after the doctor who accompanied the army finished dressing Zheng Zhilong and retreated, Ma Shi spoke: "Admiral Zheng, Your Majesty wants our family to bring you a message." ”

Seeing Zheng Zhilong struggling to get up and salute, Ma Shi pressed Zheng Zhilong's shoulder, stopped Zheng Zhilong and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that this time I beat you with twenty military sticks, not because you led troops to settle things for Li Zhizi and them without authorization." ”

Zheng Zhilong no longer forcibly struggled to salute, after all, with a sturdy twenty sticks, it would be considered shit luck to save his life - if Ma Shi's toes were placed in an inner figure just now, there was no chance that he would survive.

However, according to the temper of His Majesty the Emperor now, since the fight is over, his own affairs will be considered in the past, and it is unlikely that there will be any more things to settle accounts after the autumn.

After grinning and thanking Ma Shi, Zheng Zhilong asked, "Please make it clear to Gonggong Ma, Zhilong should change it." ”

Ma Shi said: "Your Majesty said, next time you will directly dispatch the fleet, I will act in a Ming manner, why do I need to make these excuses?" And why explain it to these small states?

Also, the excuse this time is not good, very bad, so beating you with these twenty sticks is to make you remember it for a long time! ”

Zheng Zhilong endured the pain and arched his hand towards the north: "Yes, the criminal knows it, and he must have thought about it and repented." ”

Ma Shi continued: "Also, it's not our family that said you, next time you can't make such a self-assertion, you must remember to report to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies first."

If it weren't for His Majesty's extrajudicial grace this time, your Admiral Zheng would have a few heads that would not be enough to be cut off by military law! ”

Because of the pain, the smile on Zheng Zhilong's face was more ugly than crying: "Isn't this afraid that there will be complications over there in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, after all, Your Majesty is on an expedition to Liaodong, how can the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies allow me to start the battlefield again?" ”

Ma Shi smiled: "How do you know that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies does not agree?" Now the British Duke and the Cheng Guo Gong are calculating what they are doing all day long, do you know? ”

After arching his hand towards the north, Ma Shicai continued: "Today's Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is no longer the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, those poor and sour people have been kicked out.

To tell you the truth, the current Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is planning to clean up next, if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty personally spent too much money to conquer Liaodong, it is estimated that he would have officially marched towards the Mughals now! ”

Zheng Zhilong gasped and asked, "Mughals?" That's not a good stubble, if you really want to fight, although I say that my Ming victory is huge, but the loss will not be too small? ”

Ma Shi smiled disdainfully: "Do you know why Jiannu was destroyed so quickly this time?" ”

Zheng Zhilong saw that Ma Shi turned his conversation to Liaodong, so he asked curiously: "Is there anything else that is not related to this?" ”

Ma Shidao: "Naturally, there are some. Most of the Jiannu soldiers have cigarette guns smoking Fushou paste on their backs, these people are as weak as that little chicken, what ability do they have to rush into battle? ”

Zheng Zhilong said curiously: "Then the Fushou paste was also sold to the Mughals?" ”

Ma Shi nodded and said: "This is natural, it's just that Gonggong Cao is in charge of this matter, and our family doesn't know very well."

I think that after the Mughal soldier becomes the Jiannu soldier, it will not pose any threat to my Ming Dynasty. ”

Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "That's a good feeling, when the time comes to go to the Mughals, the Nanyang Fleet just went to block their sea route!" ”

Ma Shidao: "This is naturally indispensable to you." It's just that in the future, you must be careful and don't do things on your own.

Something like this, you only need to report to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so why bother to suffer these twenty military sticks yourself? ”

Zheng Zhilong asked again: "No, if you want to say that you just beat me up with old Zheng Yitong, you don't need to go out in person, right?" ”

Ma Shi said: "Yes, our family still has to go to Xinming Island to meet His Royal Highness King Tang and them." ”

Hearing Ma Shi mention Tang King Zhu Yujian and their people, Zheng Zhilong stopped asking even if he shut up - the affairs of the heavenly family, many things are not known to be happy, and the more you know, the more dangerous it is.

After instructing Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhifeng to go down and prepare for the feast, Zheng Zhilong changed his face and said to Ma Shi with a smile: "It's a good coincidence to come back this time, first taste some local food here in Majapahit and then go to Xinming Island." ”

Ma Shi squinted his eyes and said: "You guy will definitely not hold back any good fart, just say anything directly!" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "You also know that I am a rough person, far away from the capital, and I expect you to talk to me about the affairs of the court?" ”

Ma Shi slapped Zheng Zhilong's back violently, and Zheng Zhilong, who slapped it directly, grinned in pain, and then said angrily: "Lao Tzu was also a rough man back then!" ”

Ignoring Zheng Zhilong's grinning expression, Ma Shi continued: "I don't need our family to tell you, just take a look at the imperial court's palace newspaper, as well as the Ming semi-monthly report, there is a lot of news on it." ”

Zheng Zhilong said curiously: "So, in that case, Majapahit is also going to send officials to govern here like Java?" ”

Ma Shi nodded and said: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, since the semi-monthly newspaper has begun to talk about this, it is probably true." ”

It's just that after finishing speaking, Ma Shi smiled evilly: "Liaodong and Nuergandusi are recruiting people, and now Java is also recruiting people, and Xinming Island is also recruiting people, I think the adults in this court have a headache." ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was puzzled, Ma Shi continued: "Now there are a lot of people who are willing to go to Liaodong, and there are many people who are willing to go to Nuergandusi, but there are not many who are willing to go to Java and Xinming Island.

After the Majapahit is pacified, the people have to be recruited to come to the Majapahit, but how many are willing to come? ”

Zheng Zhilong was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "Then wait for two years and then wipe out the Mughals, won't they have a headache and die?"

Well, let's give them a headache. Always shouting on behalf of the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, this time I want to see how they herd! ”

This problem, in fact, is not only Guo Yunhou, the head of the household, who is having a headache, but even Emperor Chongzhen is also having a headache.

Sometimes Emperor Chongzhen wondered if he was too good to these people, so he was used to them not wanting to move one by one?

At the beginning, it was better, because there was a lot of land allocated, and the government gave seeds and cattle to plough cattle, so there were many people who chose to go to Liaodong and Nuergandusi.

However, as the landlords lowered the rent again and again, to 30%, the number of people willing to go to Liaodong and Nuergandusi was much less.

Not to mention the willingness to go to Java and Xinming Island.

It's a headache.

Daming is obviously still so little, there are still so many people, Liaodong and Nuergandusi, plus so many places on Java and Xinming Island, but there are only so many people.

is unwilling to move over for a large area of land, and would rather pay 30% of the rent to the landlord than go.

His mother!

If this were changed to the later generations saying where to give the land, and the government would also give the seeds to the cattle, the people who rushed to go would have broken their heads long ago!
