In October, the southeast coast has already blown a winter north wind, the cold wind is howling in the sky, the turbid waves are rolling on the sea, and more than 200 Ming warships are speeding in a neat formation.

Zhang Bin independent bow, his heart was agitated, in front of him is the mouth of the Jiulong River, Yuegang is about to arrive, there, he will establish a huge special economic zone, for the Ming Dynasty and for himself to earn a huge amount of money!

As soon as he sailed past Kinmen Island, Yu Chenglong gave an order, and the command flag waved, and the entire fleet turned to the right and headed straight for the Jiulong River.

However, less than half an hour before the front, a sudden siren sounded in front, and a herald quickly climbed down the mast, ran to Zhang Bin and Yu Chenglong, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "General Qiyu, there are a large number of pirate ships in front, and the mouth of the Jiulong River is almost blocked. ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he immediately bowed his hand to Zhang Bin and said: "Lord Governor, our army is in the direction of the countercurrent, which is not conducive to engagement, do you want to withdraw from the estuary and wait at sea, or turn the rudder and enter Zhenhaiwei in the south to make a decision?" ”

"This Zheng Zhilong, what kind of nerves do you have, do you want to give me a horse!" Zhang Bin scolded secretly in his heart, and then said calmly: "No need, Shuai Boat stepped forward to see what Zheng Zhilong wanted to do." ”

Yu Chenglong couldn't help but dissuade when he heard this: "Lord Governor, this is too dangerous, the sea is different from the land, it takes time for the warship to turn around, if Zheng Zhilong rushes up, I'm afraid we won't have time to turn around." ”

Zhang Bin knew that Zheng Zhilong would never go to war with him, but he couldn't say it clearly, he could only pretend to be fearless, and said coaxingly: "It's just a pirate, I'm afraid that he will do something, and he will come to fight if he wants to fight." ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he looked at Zhang Bin with a shocked face, what is the matter with the governor, usually, I haven't seen him so reckless!

Afraid of pirates, this reputation Yu Chenglong can't afford it, he looked around helplessly, and then pointed to the coast on the left and suggested: "Lord Governor, why don't we lean into the coast to set up a formation first, the impact of the countercurrent over there is small, and the water depth on the left is not enough, it is easy to run aground, pirates will not dare to venture in, and we will not be easily surrounded." ”

Zhang Bin naturally didn't have any opinions, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go over there and wait for the formation first, and then go forward to see what Zheng Zhilong wants to do." ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he sighed, and then began to give orders, and with a wave of command flags, the fleet began to turn to the left to arrange the formation.

Soon, the ship array was arranged, Yu Chenglong gave an order, and the handsome ship came out of the formation and came to the front.

At this time, he could already see the pirate ship on the opposite side from a distance, but unfortunately there was no telescope, so Zhang Bin could only put his hand on the pergola and look forward.

After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, this Zheng Zhilong is not simple, the ship formation is as neat as his own, and it is not chaotic at all!

Of course, Zheng Zhilong is not simple, but Zhang Bin thinks him is a little too simple.

He is a sea tyrant who has dominated the southeast coast and even the entire South China Sea for more than ten years, how can he be casually played with by others.

He wants to be an official, but he wants to use the Ming army sailors to eliminate other pirates, dominate the southeast, control the maritime trade of various countries, and make huge profits!

He and Xiong Wencan are just using each other, and when it comes to maritime trade, Xiong Wencan and even the entire Ming Dynasty have not gained as much as him.

Zhang Bin guessed one thing, he stopped the mouth of the Jiulong River just to give Zhang Bin a dismount, he wanted to tell Zhang Bin: Brother, at sea, you can't play with me.

Zheng Zhilong is indeed powerful at sea, at this time he is just showing his edge, and when he overthrows all his opponents and dominates the southeast coast, the navies of the European continental powers will have nothing to do with him.

Of course, no matter what, he couldn't fight with Zhang Bin, just as Zhang Bin frowned and thought hard about how to break the deadlock, a sailing boat sailed out of the pirate ship, Zhang Fan rowed, went down the river, and quickly headed towards Zhang Bin's handsome ship.

Yu Chenglong immediately blocked in front of Zhang Bin, and said nervously: "My lord, it's a Cangshan ship, there may be a thousand catties of Buddha Lang machine on it, if they open fire, there will be danger here, why don't you order it to sink or force it back?" ”

Zhang Bin gently pushed him away and said calmly: "No, they should be here to summon him." ”

Sure enough, when the Cangshan ship got a few hundred paces away, he could see the flag bearer on the mast waving the flag to transmit a message to this side.

Yu Chenglong took a closer look, and then arched his hand at Zhang Bin and said, "My lord really expects things like gods, they are here to summon the news." ”

Zhang Bin calmly accepted this sycophant, and stood at the bow of the ship with his hands in his hands, waiting for the arrival of the pirate Cangshan ship.

Yu Chenglong was not so calm, in order to prevent pirates from cheating, he directly recruited a team of shield-wielding guards to protect Zhang Bin and a group of generals.

About a quarter of an hour later, the pirate Cangshan ship finally landed on Zhang Bin's handsome ship, and it could be seen very clearly from the high position, except for the sailors who were sailing and paddlering, there was a pirate standing on the deck empty-handed, obviously without any malicious intent.

At Zhang Bin's signal, Yu Chenglong ordered someone to lower a long staircase and pick up the pirate.

Zhang Bin took a look and saw that the pirate was not one of Zheng Cai's others, let alone his second brother Zhang Guan, he should be a small leader under Zheng Zhilong, he had never seen it anyway.

He didn't know the pirate, but the pirate knew him, and as soon as the pirate climbed onto the deck, he swept his eyes around, and then bowed his hand to Zhang Bin from a distance: "Your Excellency, our General Zheng invites you to come to the handsome ship for a while." ”

General Zheng This is Zheng Zhilong's self-name, not the imperial court gave him a seal, Zhang Bin vaguely remembered what this guy was called General Feihuang or General Feihong.

The handsome ship that the pirate said was obviously not the handsome ship where Zhang Bin was, but Zheng Zhilong's handsome ship, and what he meant was that Zheng Zhilong invited him to the pirate group to have a chat.

What kind of joke, Yu Chenglong couldn't help but scold: "Presumptuous, what is the identity of the governor, why can't he come by himself?" ”

The pirate didn't pay attention to him at all, just looked at Zhang Bin, waiting for his reply.

Of course Zhang Bin was not afraid, he pretended to be fearless again, and said lightly: "Jackie Chan, it's okay, the official will go to meet him, you should guard here." ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, don't!" “

At this time, Qi Yuangong in the back couldn't help but persuade: "Yes, my lord, it's too dangerous, think twice!" ”

Zhang Bin was "righteous and awe-inspiring" and said: "Lord Cai once suggested to this official that appeasement is the best way, and this official also believes that Zheng Zhilong is not much evil and is suitable for appeasement." Now, he asked the official to go over to talk, it was a good opportunity to appease, how could he miss a big thing because of greed for life and fear of death, don't say it, the official decided to go to the thief's nest in person, saying that he would vote. ”

After that, he directly waved to Xie Zhenggang and the others who were not far away, and motioned for them to go with him to Zheng Zhilong's handsome boat.

When he said this, the tears of the generals behind him almost fell out, the governor was so fearless, what else did they have to be afraid of, everyone shouted: "My lord, I will go with you." My lord, let the last general go with you. ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said with a smile: "Zheng Zhilong really wants to do something, it's useless for you to go, listen to the official, stay here." ”

After that, he pushed aside everyone and walked towards the stairs that connected the pirate Cangshan ship, at this time, a thin figure suddenly appeared behind the Qi brothers, grabbed his arm, and said crisply: "My lord, I want to go with you, I want to die together!" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his face was full of black lines, what could not be killed, he looked at Qi Fanghua, who was dressed as a man and full of tears, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!" ”
