In the battleship queue of the Longwu Naval Division, there were several Xiyi warships that Zheng Zhilong had seen before, and it was obvious that this was the trophy of the "Red Banner Army" defeating Xiyi.

This is enough to show that the warship of the Longwu Naval Division can win the battle when it encounters the Xiyi deck warship.

Now there are as many as thirty or forty Great War Ships of the Dragon Martial Naval Division that can only be seen, and with these warships alone, Zheng Zhilong thinks that all the forces he has concentrated may not have the strength to fight.

If the Zheng family openly rebelled against the imperial court, the Longwu Naval Division would have the righteousness of the imperial court, and if they concentrated their forces to encircle and suppress, they would be able to obtain the support of the Fujian and Guangdong officials.

If there are Liu Xiang, Li Guozhu and other former Eighteen Zhi allies at sea to assist the general to deal with the Zheng family's fleet, will the Zheng clan have no place to stand?

After thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong couldn't make a decision, so he summoned dozens of his henchmen and his brothers to discuss the matter.

The result was bad, and the vast majority of henchmen did not want to go into exile again.

Because over the years, the leaders who followed Zheng Yiguan have all saved their belongings, built mansions in Fujian and Guangdong, bought acres of land, married beautiful girls, and lived a happy life of arrogance and luxury.

That's why it's the hard word that barefoot people aren't afraid to wear shoes.

With property and a small family, the pirate began to hate the days of licking blood with a knife, and wanted to live the second half of his life comfortably and respectably in official clothes, and refused to give up everything he had to die again.

None of his subordinates are willing to lose their official status, Zheng Zhilong is not, he warned many henchmen at the meeting:

"You have to think clearly, if we obey the dispatch of the imperial court and go to the Liaohai, our fifty great warships and two thousand sailors and gunners will be about the same as sending them to the Longwu Naval Division.

In the future, we will not be opponents, and I am afraid that the huge interests at sea will gradually lose our chances. ”

Zheng Zhihu saw his brother's face of loss and comforted: "Big brother, don't take it too seriously, there are no flowers for a hundred days, and we have made a lot of money in the past few years in black and white on the sea."

Now that the Xiyi countries have taken a fancy to the huge interests of the South China Sea, they have increased their warships to do things, and in the past two years, we have lost many brothers and lost dozens of warships in the turf competition with them.

Even if there is no dragon warrior sailor, maybe the Dutch or the English will come to fight for control of the South China Sea.

After all, the interests here are too great, who doesn't blush? Besides, the tea, silk, and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty were in short supply in Xiyi, so how could Xiyi give up trading with the Ming Dynasty?

We choose to obey the dispatch of the imperial court at this time, and we can unite with the Longwu Naval Division to fight Xiyi in the future. ”

In the original history, the Zheng Group and the Liu Xiang Group fought a decisive battle on the sea near Guangdong, and Zheng Zhihu was unfortunately caught by Liu Xiangbu with a fishing net.

Liu Xiang is also a generation of heroes, he deliberately threw Zheng Zhihu into the sea and drowned before committing suicide with Lu Mi, which is about equivalent to pulling a cushion on his back when he is dying.

Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhilong have the deepest relationship, Zheng Zhihu is brave and resolute, and his martial arts are outstanding, he tries his best to assist his brother to make many achievements at sea, and he has a reputation of "Dragon Wisdom and Tiger Bravery" at sea.

Now due to the birth of Huang Han, history has been rewritten.

Liu Xiang found the big backer of the "Red Banner Army", and then with the help of the Longwu Naval Division, he took an island near Little Luzon as his home port.

Liu Xiang, who has a base area, did not have a decisive battle with Zheng Zhilong, so Zheng Zhihu is still alive and well, and Liu Xiang is not dead, and now he is thriving in Little Luzon.

Zheng Zhihu is equivalent to the number two person in the Zheng Group, and his words are quite insightful, and all the leaders think that Zheng Zhihu told the truth.

There is no reason to talk about the sea, the survival of the strong is the only law, and all the leaders present at the meeting chattered and discussed, all of them thought that the Dragon Martial Sailor was undoubtedly the strongest, and choosing to fight against them was undoubtedly self-defeating.

Hong Xu, one of the eighteen Zhizhi, agreed with Zheng Zhihu's words and said: "The second brother is true, there are too many good things in the Ming Dynasty, and the coveted Xiyi does not know how many, seeing that there are more and more deck warships coming to the East, and one day they will have a decisive battle with us."

We have all fought with Xiyi, and everyone knows every loss, if we fight with Xiyi a few times a year, we may not be able to afford it at all.

And Xiyi's warships belong to the state, and they will definitely continue to reinforce, and although we are nominally the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty even deducts the military salary that should be given, and it is a fool's dream to get the warship replenishment. ”

Gan Hui spoke: "It's not impossible to rely on our strength to fight Xiyi, but we have to do what we can, and we can barely afford to fight with a country."

If you do it with Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, England, France and other countries, you will definitely not be able to bear it for a long time.

During this period of time, Xiyi national warships under new flags have begun to be found in the South China Sea, and there is no doubt that Xiyi has set its sights on the products of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be more and more Xiyi warships operating in the South China Sea in the future.

I think we should rely on the imperial court and rely on the Dragon Martial Water Master to be able to walk more steadily. As for whether the fifty warships sent to the Liaohai Sea will be detained, I don't think it is possible! ”

Zheng Zhilong knew that Gan Hui belonged to the leader of Zhiyong Shuang among the Eighteen Zhi, and seeing that he thought that the warship sent to Liaohai would not be able to fight dogs, he asked, "Brother Gan, how can you see it?" ”

Gan Hui said: "The general of the conquest is not a thing in the pool, I assert that this person will definitely be able to accept all rivers, Liu Xiang took the initiative to take refuge in the Longwu Water Division, what is the final result?"

According to the news sent back by the undercover brothers there, Liu Xiang not only did not swallow a single warship by the Longwu Naval Division, but also captured dozens of them with the help of the Longwu Naval Division, including three Xiyi Deck Great War Ships. ”

Hong Xu added: "What Brother Gan said is true, the three Xiyi deck warships that Liu Xiang got were twice the size of the rushing ships, and there were as many as thirty-six artillery pieces in total, and the largest caliber was the Xiyi twenty-four-pounder long-barreled cannon, with a maximum range of eight miles.

We don't have such a powerful ship here today. ”

Gan Hui said: "That's why I asserted that the Longwu Naval Division couldn't swallow the fifty warships we came to aid Liao, and I estimated that the purpose of the general to transfer our army was to see our attitude."

The eldest brother has been asking Lord Xiong to contact the general of the conquest so far, so why not take this opportunity to meet and talk to the general directly? ”

Gan Hui's suggestion was unanimously recognized, and dozens of leaders all opened their mouths to discuss, believing that the general of the conquest of the capture of the Fujian Navy Division to aid Liao was actually an opportunity for everyone.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity to befriend the "Red Banner Army" and strive for an alliance with them?

If the Fujian Sailor and the Longwu Sailor join forces, why not fear the Xiyi countries dyeing the guide sea?
