Zheng Zhilong also knew a little about Song Youliang through the news in Tang Bao and Di Bao. For this meeting at sea, Zheng Zhilong also made some preparations. He selected twenty of the largest ships, repainted them, and replaced them with new ones. The sailors on board selected the tallest and most ferocious-looking. The armor he wears and the weapons he wears are also the most sophisticated Zheng Zhilong thought that this arrangement was majestic enough, but when Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Laiyuan, Jingyuan, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Jiyuan, Pingyuan, Chaoyong, Yangwei, Zhendong, Zhenxi, Zhennan, Zhenbei, Zhenzhong, and Zhenbian Sixteen giant ships appeared on the sea, Zheng Zhilong knew what it meant to be a strong ship and a gun, Song Youliang and Zheng Zhilong were both general soldiers, and they were of the same level. But Song Youliang is a prince of Dewang, a relative of the emperor, and Song Youliang also has the title of Earl of Pingbei, so he is a few levels higher than Zheng Zhilong, so Zheng Zhilong wants to cross the ship to meet Song Youliang on the Dingyuan.

Zheng Zhilong's ship leaned to the port side of the Dingyuan, and the hull was obviously a few laps smaller than the Dingyuan, and it was impossible to cross the ship with a gangplank. So a hanging basket used to lift and lower personnel was put down on the Dingyuan, and Zheng Zhilong and two subordinates were sent to the deck of the Dingyuan Song Youliang did not wear a military uniform, but a gorgeous costume, with the aristocratic style of a prince and grandson. And although Zheng Zhilong is also wearing civilian clothes, the materials and workmanship are very elegant, plus he is tall and burly, as well as the bearing of the hero, his aura is not inferior to Song Youliang, "Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, has seen the lord!" Zheng Zhilong saluted Song Youliang Song Youliang accepted it calmly, and then saluted: "The younger generation has seen the seniors. ”

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment, "Why did the lord say this?" ”

Song Youliang said with a smile: "In terms of officials, I am higher than Zheng Junmen, but in the business of the sea, I can only be regarded as a junior." ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled, looking like it was a matter of course. Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Where is it, the lord broke Shenyang and Liaoyang, captured hundreds of Jiannu chiefs, and defeated Jiannu soldiers, which is a rare military achievement after Emperor Shenzong." ”

Song Youliang also said: "Zheng Junmen beat the Dutch red-haired ghost in Liuluo Bay to cry dad and call mother, hugging his head and running away, which greatly increased the prestige of my Daming sailor." Such feats are only barely comparable to Deng Zilong back then~"

"Won the prize~~"

"You're kind ~~"

"You're kind ~~"

"Won the prize~~"

Song Youliang and Zheng Zhilong praised each other, and Song Youliang asked, "I heard that Zheng Junmen believes in God?" ”

Zheng Zhilong replied: "Yes, the name of the lower official is Nikolai~"

Song Youliang said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I also threw myself into the arms of God, and my Christian name is Alexei~"

"Then our meeting this time must be God's arrangement~" Zheng Zhilong drew a cross on his chest, and Song Youliang also drew a cross, and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and this time I invited Brother Zheng to come to discuss the business of my merchants in Dengzhou Town to start a war between Japan and Nanyang." ”

The religious bond brought Song Youliang and Zheng Zhilong one step closer, and Zheng Zhilong said in a calm tone: "I am also planning to discuss this matter with the lord. The merchants of your town bought a large amount of silk fabrics into Japan, so that the Japanese people did not buy our raw silk. Fujian businessmen mess with me every day, I have to give them an explanation, right? ”

Song Youliang smiled, "Their boat money is paid according to the rules, right?" ”

Zheng Zhilong paused and said, "That's what I said, but ~~ those boat gold is a drop in the bucket compared to the raw silk pressed in his hand. ”

Song Youliang was noncommittal, just pointed to a beautiful piece of wood in front of him and said: "A piece of wood is only three taels of silver, and there are no less than ten pieces of such wood, and each piece can be sold for thirteen taels of silver." Brother Zheng~~ Do you say that you make more money by selling wood, or do you make more money by selling wood? ”

Zheng Zhilong replied without hesitation: "Of course, it is to make a lot of money by selling woodware. Zheng Zhilong immediately understood what Song Youliang meant, "What the lord means is that Zheng sells raw silk to the Japanese, and it is better to sell silk fabrics to Japan to make more money." How could Zheng not understand this truth? Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly: "It's just that every year from Huzhou, Fujian and even the Netherlands Hongmao receives a lot of raw silk, even if all the female workers in Fujian go to weave, they can only use up thirty percent of it." Then the remaining seven achievements will all be sold to Japan~"

"Brother Zheng can set up a silk factory in Fujian and consume this raw silk, and I heard that the Spanish people in Sulu and Luzon have to transport a large amount of silk to their territory every year to sell." Song Youliang said: "And I can also provide machines for Brother Zheng, silk reeling and brocade are labor-saving!" ”

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, "The lord is kind and willful, those jacquard machines and hydraulic looms Zheng has not used before, with one machine, you can use ten less manpower." So what about these ten manpower? They just rely on doing that little work to support their families, if I use more machines and less people, then the machine room boys will not turn the sky upside down? ”

"But I can't stop using the machine there~" Song Youliang touched his chin and said: "Otherwise, Brother Zheng, you will transport the unused raw silk to my Dengzhou Town, and my workshop here will help you make silk fabrics, and then you will transport it to Japan for sale, how about it?" ”

"Hmm~~" Zheng Zhilong pondered for a while and said, "Yes, but you can't be busy with the lord's subordinates in vain, right?" ”

"In terms of price, Brother Zheng can rest assured, I only charge one or two silver processing fees for each load of raw silk, and on the finished product, I can also label Brother Zheng with the label of 'Zheng Ji'." Song Youliang said that Zheng Zhilong's eyes turned again, and said: "The silk fabrics made in Dengzhou are of good quality and cheap, if the price is cheaper than my Zheng Ji~~ Then Zheng Ji's silk fabrics can't be sold~ Then wouldn't I have to paste one or two silver processing fees and freight from Fujian to Dengzhou for every load of raw silk?" ”

"Hahaha~~" Song Youliang laughed, but secretly praised this Zheng Zhilong in his heart is really not simple, "Okay, Benjue guarantees that the price of Dengzhou silk goods and your Zheng Ji's silk goods is the same." If I want to increase or fall the price, I will predict Brother Zheng~"

"Okay~" Zheng Zhilong said reassuringly: "Or vice versa~"

"If there is no basis for words, shall we make a statement?" Song Youliang asked, Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zheng still has business to discuss with the lord~"

"What business?" Song Youliang asked Zheng Zhilong and said: "Actually, Zheng has been paying attention to the dock of the lord for a long time, and the ship that came out of the dock of the lord is strong and reliable, and the speed is also fast. I, Zheng, can also build such a good ship in the dockyard, but it will cost at least about 800 taels more, so Zheng hopes to buy a ship directly from the dockyard of the lord. ”

"Brother Zheng wants a ship, just say it, rent or buy, listen to it, it's just the ship money of those merchant ships in Dengzhou Town~"

"It's all their own people, and they pay ten percent, and the merchant ships in Dengzhou Town~~Eighty~~No~~" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, "Seven into five is fine~"

Song Youliang bowed his hand to Zheng Zhilong and said: "Then thank you Brother Zheng for making it happen, when the merchant ships in our town arrive at the boundary of Brother Zheng, I also hope that Brother Zheng will send a fleet to escort them, and the required expenses will be paid in full according to the rules." ”

"The lord is so polite~" Zheng Zhilong returned the salute The two heroes on the sea will end under the beautiful sunset On the way back to Fujian, Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the boat, breathing the sea breeze, and asked a young man next to him: "Sen'er, what do you think of Song Youliang?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "The child thinks that he is very human, and in this troubled world, it is beneficial and harmless for my father to join forces with such a person." ”

"Hmph~" Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly: "Sen'er, you have to remember that Li Zicheng is good, Zhang Xianzhong is good, and even Jiannu outside the gate." No matter who wins the world, they must put the interests of the Zheng family first. ”

The future Zheng Chenggong, the current Zheng Sen replied: "The child remembers." However, Zheng Sen asked again: "What the child doesn't understand is why did his father agree to Song Youliang to join forces to run Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Ying, Huang Yunlong, and Fan Yongdou?" ”

Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly and said: "Sen'er, although our Zheng family is a pirate, and my father has also done murder and overselling goods, bullying and dominating the market, and forcibly buying and selling before, but he has never done anything to seduce foreigners or betray the country. And those eight people were legitimate businessmen, but in fact, in Zhangjiakou they resold the grain, pig iron, cloth and other materials urgently needed by the construction slaves in the hinterland, and even betrayed the military situation at our border gates. Dad has heard of these things for a long time, but he is not in his position and does not seek politics. ”

Zheng Sen's eyes widened, "Then Dad, why did you meddle this time?" ”

"This time it's different, this time there's a lot of money to be made. Do you know the Hengtong Money Village in Fuzhou City? Zheng Zhilong smiled: "The child knows~~ That is a place where you make money every day." Zheng Sen nodded and replied, "That's it~~ As long as this thing is done, this money village will be surnamed Zheng from now on!" Zheng Zhilong put his hands behind his back, turned around, faced the sea, and said: "If you control the ocean, you control the world~~ I didn't expect Daming to have people with the same vision as me!" ”

Zheng Sen pondered the connotation of Zheng Zhilong's words, and suddenly understood why Zheng Zhilong's attitude changed so quickly after meeting Song Youliang.

The Zheng family takes the sea as their home, and if there is no sea, there is no home! Wow!

The sea lapped against the reef, splashing a few feet high in white crystal water. The sea surged to the shore, gently caressing the soft sand, and reluctantly retreated. Again and again, it caresses forever, drawing silver edges under the sand, as if sparkling silver frames on the mighty sea, making the sea more charming and beautiful.

Zheng Sen turned back to look at Song Youliang's fleet from a distance, and secretly decided: I, Zheng Sen, will not be inferior to you in the future.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ waited for Song Youliang to return to Dengzhou, Ximen Jian, who was in charge of intelligence reconnaissance on Jiannu, had already been waiting for a restless moment. As soon as he saw Song Youliang coming back, he didn't care about the etiquette, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Junmen, why did you come back, something big happened in Jiannu." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Could it be that Huang Taiji died, and Dolgon and Hauge competed for the throne and began to fight? Song Youliang smiled and Ximen Jian said, "Almost." Simon Jian took out a secret guard of the brocade guard from his sleeve pocket and said, "Haug has set up an ambush at the gate of Hetuara and wants to kill Dorgon. But Dolgon's men fought desperately to protect him, and Dorgon was able to escape. Then Haoge announced that Huang Taiji was dead, and he ascended the throne by himself, and the era name was Jianxing. And Dolgon defected to the Mongol tribe~~ The situation is still unknown. ”
