In the biting cold wind, the waves are constantly crashing against the reef on the coast, and some ice floes can be seen on the sea, and on the coast, next to a dozen ships under construction, one by one, shipwrights are working overtime to build ships in the bitter cold.

This shipyard in the Manchu Dynasty is even the largest shipyard under the Manchu Dynasty - thousands of craftsmen from Beizhili, Shandong and other places are here day and night to build ships, and every time a ship is built, it will be operated by the boatman to sail to the Port of Arthur.

"Young Master, in half a month, four new ships will be built, and in a month, the other seven ships will be built, and there will be 37 old lock ships in Lushun by then......"

Although he was once called the "King of the True Sea", Zheng Zhilong was no different from the ordinary shipyard officials at this time, and he was extremely cautious when he supervised the shipbuilding on weekdays, even in front of the young master of the Fan family, he was also extremely respectful, and there was also the majesty of the "King of the True Sea" who dominated the "Fujian Sea" back then.

It is no wonder that because of Zheng Chenggong's refusal to surrender over the years, Zheng Zhilong, who had surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was always under the threat of life, and had to use silver bribes to save his life, and the majesty of the year was also exhausted under this threat.

"There's Lord Lao!"

Fan Sanba looked at the more than ten soldiers who were not far behind the two, they were in charge of taking care of Zheng Zhilong, but in this regard, he didn't think it was a big deal, after all, everything was planned by him, in order to get Prince Xian to agree to Zheng Zhilong's assistance in building the ship, he took a lot of twists and turns, the silver reached the sky, and finally it was all with the silver to pass the knot, so that Prince Xian felt that the current situation was so bad, and the ship could be built as soon as possible, which was the most beneficial to the Qing Kingdom, so that Prince Xian was in the staff's "lobbying" , agreed to the Zheng family to report to the shipyard.

"The eldest young master is polite, this boat pays the most attention to the wind direction, if Lord Jin wants to buy rice in the South Seas, it is best to sail south next month, so that in March and April next year, you can take the wind back to the north and ......."

When he said this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but look towards the sea, if he could return to the sea and Fujian, why should he be as patient as he is now, when he was in Fujian, how could he have been afraid of anyone?

One misstep is a thousand bitter hatreds!

If he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty back then, but sent troops to garrison the Xianxia Pass and the Fenshui Pass, which were difficult to open, it would be difficult for the Qing army to enter Fujian. Originally, it was thought that after surrendering, not only would they be able to "conform to the general trend", but also that the Zheng family would be able to "treat each other with the governors of Fujian and Guangzhou" as the Qing court said when lobbying. But who would have thought that the Qing court was untrustworthy, not only did not appoint him as the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, but even wanted to kill him several times.

For Zheng Zhilong, although he knew that with the dangerous terrain of Fujian, even if there were hundreds of soldiers stationed in the above-mentioned passes, it would be difficult for the Qing army to enter Fujian, and from then on, it would be difficult for the Qing army to enter Fujian, and from then on, it would be determined that the southeast would be judged, but Zheng Zhilong himself took the initiative to open the door of Fujian for the sake of the dream of "splitting the soil and Fujian", and let the Qing army drive straight in, resulting in the arrest of Emperor Longwu. As a result, instead of being "cracked in the earth", he was first confined to a high wall, and later even exiled to a bitter cold place like Ningguta. If it weren't for the dispersion of the family wealth, I am afraid that my life would have been difficult to protect.

Now he was sent here, but because the Qing court saw that he was familiar with shipbuilding, they asked him to supervise shipbuilding.

"Sir, but you thought of Minnan?"

Suddenly, Fan Sanba's words drilled into Zheng Zhilong's ears, and just when he was about to justify, he only heard Fan Sanba say. "Actually, if the lord wants to go back to southern Fujian, it is not impossible, and when the fleet goes south, the general can also go south with the fleet......"

What the!

Zheng Zhilong looked at Fan Sanba in surprise, he couldn't believe his ears, what was this Fan Sanba talking about? He, he wants to take me out of here?

"Young Master, you, you ......"

Zheng Zhilong looked at Fan Sanba in surprise, perhaps because he was so surprised that he couldn't speak at all.

"Could it be that Lord Fei doesn't want to go back?"

Don't want to go back?

Why don't you want to go back?

Zheng Zhilong even dreamed of returning to Fujian, thinking about regaining his freedom, and even for him, it didn't matter what glory and wealth he had, as long as he could return to Fujian safely, he would be content to be a foot valley from now on, and more than ten years of rich life had already grinded the One Piece into a middle-aged man with deep twilight. And the captivity of more than ten years has long since sharpened his ambitions.

"Big young master, this, is this true?"

Zheng Zhilong asked in a nervous tone, when he asked this name, he even looked at the armored soldiers behind him, they didn't speak Chinese, so naturally he couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Sir,"

Nodding, Fan Sanba said in a low voice.

"As long as the lord is willing, he will definitely escort the lord family back to the south safely, otherwise, how can he go to the trouble of Zhou Bai to persuade Prince Xian to agree to the lord here?"

Everything that he had never understood had already been understood, and Zheng Zhilong finally knew that why he came here to "make meritorious contributions" was not because the Qing court valued him for knowing how to build ships, but because of the relationship between Fan Sanba in front of him.

"Please rest assured, the kindness of the Fan family, Zheng will repay it one day!"

Zheng Zhilong, who has been on the sea and in officialdom for decades, doesn't know that Fan Sanba's favor was not given away for nothing, since he did this, he must have a plan, these Shanxi Yankees, but none of them are masters who do loss-making business.

But he is not worried that he will not be able to repay this favor, after all, now his son, Zheng Chenggong, is not only the king of Yanping of the Ming Dynasty, but according to Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, it can be said that he is the mainstay of grasping half of the Ming Dynasty.

However, if he can return to the south safely, he will definitely repay Fan Sanba's favor!

"In this way, I will thank the lord on behalf of the eight families in the next place!"

Fan Sanba bowed respectfully, and at the same time told him that it was not only the Fan family who rescued him, but also the other seven families, Zheng Zhilong didn't care about who rescued him, what he cared about was when he could leave here, he couldn't see hope before, but now he sees hope, how can he not be anxious. He had just opened his mouth to ask, and Fan Sanba replied.

"The lord doesn't need to be in a hurry, don't tell others about this matter, in the last month, once the time is ripe, someone will naturally bring the lord's family on the ship, once you get to the sea, this sea and sky, how can the lord need to worry about the Qing court?"

When he arrived at the sea, he naturally didn't need to worry about the Qing court, looking at the sea, at this moment, the momentum of the One Piece King who was crisscrossing the Fujian Sea seemed to rise in his heart again, and the twilight seemed to be slowly being dispersed from his body at this time.

Wish!

Sometimes even if it is just a glimmer of hope, it will change a person's mentality, just like at this time, the hope of that life is placed in front of him, which only makes Zheng Zhilong's body no longer see the dull twilight of the past, but is full of hope for the future.

It's time to leave!

It's finally time to get out of this hellish place!

When Zheng Zhilong returned to the shipyard again, his steps even seemed a little brisk, although his face was silent, but the temperament between his eyebrows still changed slightly, not to mention those ordinary armor people, even his own brother Zheng Zhibao also did not notice.

As soon as he came to the shipyard, Zheng Zhilong noticed that his younger brother didn't seem to care about shipbuilding, it seemed that for him, whether these ships were strong or not had nothing to do with him at all, and Zheng Zhilong, who knew that these ships were related to his own life, would let Zheng Zhibao ruin his big thing, and hurriedly reprimanded him sharply, and even ordered those craftsmen to rework, after all, this ship was related to his life.

"Big brother, why do you need to be like this?"

Puzzled by the eldest brother's intentions, Zheng Zhibao looked at the shipwrights who were reworking and sighed.

"What does it matter to us if this ship is not strong? Anyway, it's not us who make the ship, and besides, this ship, even if it is a year or two, it won't sink, ask him what he does so much? ”

"Old Five, we are going to make meritorious service with this ship!"

Zheng Zhilong did not tell Zheng Zhibao his true intentions, but only replied with the simplest excuse.

"If we can win the court's appreciation with this, maybe you and I will be able to leave this bitter cold place, don't you say?"

Leaving this bitter cold place?

The eldest brother's words made Zheng Zhibao stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, he didn't just want to leave this place.

"Big brother, don't we expect to go back again in our lives?"

Looking towards the sea, Zheng Zhibao's eyes were full of thoughts of the south, and he longed to return to the south and Fujian.

"Who knows?"

Zheng Zhilong smiled a little pretentiously.

"No one can see through the current situation, no one knows, how will this situation develop? When we left Fujian, who would have thought that Fusong would be able to conquer today's world with his bare hands, if so...... How can we wait? ”

A misstep has become a thousand years of hatred, and now every time he thinks of the mistakes of the year, Zheng Zhilong is a burst of remorse from the bottom of his heart, but when he mentions his son, there is always some pride in his tone, and Fusong is Zheng Chenggong's name.

Zheng Zhibao also nodded and said.

"Isn't that the case, I knew that the Tartars were so untrustworthy, and if we didn't descend, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be like this! Or Fosson has a vision. ”

"Life is like chess, one wrong step, one wrong step!"

Looking at the south, Zheng Zhilong sighed.

"Fusong's vision is stronger than that of you and me, and it's no wonder that he can break into such a career, but I don't know what he looks like in the south now......"
