On Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, a soaking wet Westerner is lying motionless on the beach. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Several officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were led by fishermen to the beach.

"Master Jun, it's there." The fisherman who led the way pointed to the people on the beach.

The leading officer came to him and flipped the man over: "Hongyi? ”

"Wake up, wake up." The officer kept slapping the red man's cheek.

With a mouthful of "wow", the Hongyi man spat out a mouthful of water and slowly opened his eyes.

"Who are you, and how are you here? Any idea where this is? ”

The Hongyi man looked at a few Ming officers and soldiers, and squeaked and said a few words, but no one could understand.

"I don't understand Chinese." The Ming officer scratched his head, "Let's take it back first." ”

Originally, it was not a big deal to find a Hongyi man on the beach, because there were often Hongyi boats that encountered storms and drifted here, but this Hongyi man was quickly sent to the Fujian guerrilla general's mansion, because a secret letter was found on his body.

Zheng Zhilong sat on the big chair in the General's Mansion, and in front of him was the secret letter that was found from the Hongyi man.

If Zheng Zhilong is only in terms of language, he should be regarded as a genius in the Ming Dynasty and even now, proficient in Hokkien, Nanjing Mandarin, Japanese, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and many languages, so he doesn't need to translate at all, he can understand what is written on this letter.

"You are the messenger of Batavia?" Zheng Zhilong asked in Dutch.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General, my name is Gurlit, and I am a messenger from Batavia." The Hongyi man replied that this Gurlit's name was given to him by Wang Hua temporarily. Wang Hua didn't know what the Dutch should be called, but fortunately, there was that Captain Van Basten as a precedent, so he was called Gullit.

"Do you know what's written in this letter?"

"General, I don't know, my task is to personally deliver this letter to the Spanish governor of the city of Geranza."

"And how did you get here?" Zheng Zhilong asked again.

"Your Excellency, our ship has caught a storm, and I have drifted here."

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while, waved his hand and asked the sergeant on the side to take this Hongyi man down.

"Big brother, what does that letter say?" Zheng Zhihu couldn't wait to ask.

"Zhihu." Zheng Zhilong didn't answer, but asked, "Is there any news from Yulin Bay, how are the ships and guns we ordered?" ”

"No news." Zheng Zhihu replied, "They said that the silver and copper we sent were not enough, and it might take some time. However, last time, Zhibao brought back a few cannons and dozens of guns, which is very good, much stronger than the ones we use now. ”

"How many ships, how many people can we muster now?"

"Big brother, what are you going to do?" Zheng Zhihu didn't understand why Zheng Zhilong suddenly asked like this.

"You answer me first."

"Probably forty or fifty."

"Only forty or fifty?" Zheng Zhilong slapped the table, "Zhihu, send an order to the rivers and lakes, let all the ships and all the people come back and stand by, and prepare the silver." ”

"Big brother, what are you going to do?" Zheng Zhihu was really anxious.

Zheng Zhilong calmed down: "Zhihu, this secret letter is a letter from the Dutch people in Batavia to the Spaniards in the city of Geranza, they want to seize our Taiwan, and the Portuguese and Liu Xiang are also involved. ”

"Really, big brother?" Zheng Zhihu was a little unconvinced, "Haven't the Dutch and Spaniards been fighting, can this news be true?" ”

Zheng Zhihu's words suddenly reminded Zheng Zhilong: "Zhihu, I asked you to check the origin of Yulin Bay, have you found out?" ”

"Not yet." Zheng Zhihu's thinking couldn't catch up with his brother, "These people claim to be overseas Great Song Dynasty relics, but I have asked people all over again, no one knows their specific origins, and no one knows that there are so many Great Song Dynasty relics overseas, even the Hongyi people don't know." ”

"A few days ago, the Hongyi people went missing a lot of ships, what news have you heard about this?"

"There's no news about this, no one knows if these ships have suffered a storm or what's going on, but big brother." Zheng Zhihu said, "Zhibao said that he had seen a lot of Hongyi people in Yulin Bay, and they seemed to be people at sea. ”

"Really?" Zheng Zhilong fell into deep thought.

"Big brother, do you suspect that Yulinwan did it?"

"It's possible." Zheng Zhilong said, "I heard that Liu Xiang went to attack Yulin Bay, but dozens of boats were wiped out by two boats in Yulin Bay, and this Yulin Bay should not be underestimated." ”

"Then will the news of the Hongyi people also be released by Yulin Bay?" Zheng Zhihu suddenly became smarter.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Zheng Zhilong said to himself, "We are still cooperating with Yulin Bay now, if they made this news, then what is their purpose?" ”

"Big brother, can't we just find someone to check?"

"Zhihu, it's too late." Zheng Zhilong explained, "This secret letter is a reply, the Netherlands and Spaniards have already made an appointment, even if this letter cannot be delivered to the city of Geranza, they will do it on time, we don't have time to check." If this letter was really done by Yulin Bay, then they really worked hard, and the time was just right. ”

"Then let's just interrogate that Hongyi man, I don't believe he won't speak." Zheng Zhihu made another suggestion.

"It's useless, Zhihu." Zheng Zhilong denied his younger brother's suggestion, "Since that Hongyi man can come to deliver the letter, he must be ready, torture can't pry his mouth open." ”

"Big brother, what should we do then?" Zheng Zhihu ran out of ideas.

"It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not." Zheng Zhilong made the final decision, "Zhihu, you still issue a Jianghu order, gather people and horses to rush to Taiwan, and at the same time pay close attention to the movements of the Spaniards in Taiwan, don't let them take advantage of it." ”

"What about Yulin Bay?"

"I can't take care of Yulin Bay now, let's talk about Yulin Bay when this matter is settled."

Zhang Guodong's office only sat Zhang Guodong, Wang Hua, and Zeng Guangxian.

"How's the preparation going?" Zhang Guodong asked

"Chairman Zhang." Zeng Guangxian replied, "The Vietnamese ships have all returned, are being overhauled, and the personnel have been arranged, just waiting to leave." ”

"What about you?" Zhang Guodong asked Wang Hua again.

"The people of Fujian have come back from the news of flying pigeons, and Gurlitt has already handed over the letter to Zheng Zhilong, who is now dispatching troops."

"Does he believe the news?"

"I won't believe it." Wang Hua replied confidently, "We have made a precise time calculation, even if he has any suspicions, he has no time to investigate." ”

"Did the Westerners go out?"

"Batavia has also sent back news that the Dutch have been dispatched."

"Chairman Zhang, President Wang." Zeng Guangxian saw that the two of them were no longer talking, so he said, "Can you tell me the detailed plan now, I have kept you hidden it for so long, preparing every day, and now I don't even know when to set off." ”

"Huh." Zhang Guodong and Wang Hua smiled at the same time, "Don't worry, this is also for confidentiality." ”

"Now I can let you know." Zhang Guodong stopped laughing, "You 4 warships formed the First Fleet, and in the name of coordinated exercises, they drove to the outside of Yulin Bay to fire a few cannons, and then went straight to Xiamen without making any stops." After arriving in Xiamen, we will move randomly, and we must wait until Xiamen is almost unable to hold on, and then we will shoot, which is too early or late. ”

"Then when will we depart, and when will we be able to inform the captain of the true purpose of this operation."

"You'll leave in five days." Zhang Guodong replied, "However, the real purpose of this time is not to tell anyone except my own people, not to mention it when I arrive in Xiamen, just to say that I occasionally encountered Westerners attacking Xiamen to help, there are former pirates in the navy, and we are afraid of leaking the news." ”

"And." Wang Hua reminded, "In order to do a good job, you'd better find a Western ship along the way to practice, but don't be too fond of war, if you don't get to Xiamen and really fight, then our play will be done." ”

"I know that." Zeng Guangxian smiled, "I will do this play well." ”

Five days later, early in the morning, the alarm bell on the pier suddenly rang, and the 30 naval guns on the battery fired non-stop at the sea. The entire dock was covered in white smoke.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The entire Yulin Bay is full of people who have just gotten up in their clothes.

"All go home, all go home, don't come out if it's okay." A detachment of GIs with flintlock pistols constantly drove passers-by down the street.

"What's going on, why are there guns on the docks?" Xu Lang ran in the direction of the dock while putting on his clothes.

"Master Xu, please don't go over, hurry home." Two GIs blocked Xu Lang's way with guns.

"I'm a member of the committee, why are you stopping me?" Xu Lang didn't care, and replied that he wanted to move forward.

"I'm sorry, Master Xu." It was the first time that the two soldiers said to Xu Lang so loudly and confidently, "The order of the Military Commission and Commander Han, everyone, including the old men in Yulin Bay, are not allowed to go out. ”

"Everyone?" Xu Lang was confused, and when he turned his head, he saw Shi Xianyang also walking over from the side dejectedly.

"You're blocked back?" Xu Lang asked, "What happened?" ”

"I don't know, but I see that our warships seem to be out to sea." Shi Xianyang suddenly asked in a low voice, "It can't be that there is a change in the army, a coup d'état?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Lang seemed to understand, "Let's go, go to my place, have a small bar, don't think about going out today." ”

"You're drinking early in the morning?" Shi Xianyang pointed at Xu Lang, "I really convinced you." ”

"Let's go, let's go." Xu Lang dragged Shi Xianyang, "Idle is idle, I just have something to tell you." ”

Shi Xianyang stared at the wine on the table in Xu Lang's room: "I won't say anything about you when I drink this bar, you brought me to drink early in the morning, and I won't say anything about you, but this early morning dry drink, I don't even have a mouthful of food, so I have to say what you order." ”

"You, you've been human for two lives, why haven't you found the true meaning of life?" Xu Lang smiled, "This wine is drinking but not drinking, and this cigarette is smoking but not smoking." Everything is for the use of people and for the service of people. Jia Baoyu said well, even if it is an uninformed thing, you can also use a kind of infatuation to be considerate, so that the uninformed thing can be used by a lover, this is reluctance. ”

"Pull it down." Shi Xianyang frowned and swallowed a sip of wine, "Don't clean up the useless, what's going on this morning?" ”

"Xianyang, didn't you have that meeting?" Xu Lang asked.

"Which meeting, I've had more meetings, more than you, and you've eaten more than you."

"That's the one about Zheng Zhilong."

"Oh, you said that." Shi Xianyang suddenly lowered his voice, "The warship went out for this?" ”

"Or what do you think?" Xu Lang himself took a sip, "Do you really think there was a coup d'état?" No one has the guts to do this, and it can't be. ”

"Hey, Xu Lang, how do you know that it must be impossible? There are coups d'état in this era. ”

"Exaltation." Xu Lang suddenly became happy, "It's been almost 3 years since we came to this Ming Dynasty, this is what I'm most proud of." ”

"What are you proud of?" Shi Xianyang didn't understand why Xu Lang suddenly said such a sentence.

"Xianyang, we are now the Legun Politics, but do you know who did the most in this Legun Politics in our last life?"

"Nonsense, everyone on earth knows it." Shi Xianyang smiled, "Those fat people in North Korea." ”

"That's right." Xu Lang clapped his hands and shouted, "But have you ever thought about a question, we and North Korea are both military first and then government, but why can't we have such a coup d'état, but North Korea, or 400 years later, will be like that." ”
