As the Western proverb goes, war is a continuation of politics! Sometimes the victory in the war is not even important, how to control the situation created by the war is the most important! Just like Hannibal, the Western god of war, Cannae killed 80,000 Romans in the first battle, and half of the adult men in the city of Rome were wiped out by him.

After fifteen years of conquest in Italy, Hannibal did not achieve any results, and was finally attacked by the famous Roman general Scipio the Younger, and returned to the Carthaginian territory, and died in national humiliation.

There is also the overlord Xiang Yu, in the battle of Pengcheng, he only 30,000 cavalry defeated the Han King Liu Bang's 650,000 army, but in the end he still ended up killing himself.

There is also Li Cunqiao of the Later Tang Dynasty, the world-famous god of war, Zhu Wen's fierce people were defeated by him, and he won the country for a few years, and was immediately killed in a coup d'état, burying the foundation of the Later Tang Dynasty.

And so much more! These are the fate of war scholars and political idiots, and now it is Mao Jue's turn to win the war and deal with the follow-up.

Zheng Zhilong was on time, three days later, he only brought ten green boats, and arrived at Iki Island again, but this is also the result of Chen Yonghua's hard persuasion, this Fujian Juren is a clear-eyed person, he can see that eliminating Zheng Zhilong is actually no benefit to Mao Jue, after all, the Dongjiang River is strong, and his hand has not grown to reach Fuhai, since he also eats the bowl of rice of maritime trade, then an orderly South China Sea is far more beneficial than the combination of heroes and the chaotic South China Sea.

In this case, if Zheng Zhilong still doesn't dare to go, then his prestige will have to fall to infinitely close to zero.

But in response to Mao Jue's military proverb, anyone can start a war, but only the winner will end the war! Although he won't kill him Zheng Zhilong, Mao Jue will definitely not make him feel better, and before this comes, Chen Yonghua also has a sense of consciousness.

But even when the group arrived, the remaining eighteen Zhizhi generals from Zheng Zhilong still felt sour in their hearts when they arrived at Chen Yonghua.

Until now, I haven't seen how to build the Dongjiang cement port trestle bridge, there are large and small scarred Fujian warships, and the warehouse in the port area where the goods were originally loaded was also changed into a prisoner of war camp by Mao Jue, or the Zheng army pirates with bandages on their heads or splints wrapped around their arms are full of 20,000, and they are locked in the fence with their eyes, this battle, Zheng Jun lost too badly!

I don't know if it's deliberately humiliating, Mao Jue is standing on the edge of the port prisoner of war camp to greet and watch the blue boat with two big eyes painted on the shore, their dragon leader Zheng Zhilong took Chen Yonghua and others down, and the pirate captives were about to burst into tears, eagerly crowded on the edge of the iron fence, one hand zombie stretched out, screaming miserably.

"Dragon's head!"

Without waiting for the bosses of the two sides to cross-talk, Zheng Zhilong, who saw this scene, had a tight throat and didn't say anything for a while.

Who knew that at this time, Mao Jue actually grabbed the front, raised his hands and shouted.

"Don't worry, this time I will invite you Zheng Da to come, just to solve this dispute and let him redeem you back, everyone is mixed up in the rivers and lakes, and everything is done according to the rules of the rivers and lakes! Say it in one word! One and the same! After a while, your big boss's silver was patted, and Mao immediately released him! No delay!"

It's not enough to shout, more than a dozen iron horns followed and repeated Mao Jue's words, don't say it, this really works, everyone is floating in the rivers and lakes, and many people have done the buying and selling of meat tickets, they know the rules, and now their skills are not as good as others, and they are planted here, which is considered a meat ticket! He is bright and bright, and he is willing to cross-talk, so the big guy is almost expected to go home, after all, the wealth of Zheng Zhilong, the leader of his family, no one knows that he is a little brother, and he should not sit idly by as a big brother!

But seeing that the Zheng Jun pirates who were in a mess dispersed one after another and sat on the ground, Chen Yonghua's heart chuckled, and he helplessly showed a wry smile, and was played by Mao Jue again.

He is as strange as Lu Buwei, release the news first, and after the meeting, he will ask for a sky-high price, but it doesn't matter how much silver you have, it depends on whether you redeem it or not! Not redeemed? Not to mention the reduction of manpower, it is also a loss of people's hearts! Ransomed? That is the pocket suffers, and Mao Jue still has a bright reputation.

When Chen Yonghua thought to himself, the two bosses finally started to cross the road, and after a series of rivers and lakes with three mountains and five mountains, the two sides were at the same time, and the heroes of the two sides entered the house by the sea one after another.

Mao Jue's habits are good, a large round table, there is no need to divide who goes underwater, the host sits inside, and the guests sit outside, all of them are heads, and the left hand is respected, and both subordinates can sit on the left, and everyone can take care of their face.

However, this hall is not so easy to sit on, next to the long round table, Mao Jue is perverted to the end, Zheng Zhilong's thirty or so Nidanico priests and female guards let him tie pigs and tie them into a forest of meat, less pressed on the top and more below, piled up like a pyramid in a big iron plate.

I have to say that these chicks are wild enough, and they are not honest when they are locked up, they actually injured the guards in the middle of the night and almost escaped.

I don't know how many of these Nanyang chicks Zheng Zhilong slept, watching him come in, these foreign goddesses all had wheat-colored little faces flushed, and the little hands tied to the back of the five flowers were twisted into fists and shaking, biting the hemp walnuts in their mouths and whining, and Zheng Zhilong's face twitched when he listened.

The others are much more honest, Zheng Cai, Zheng Zhibao, and Shi Daxuan, who have already sat on the edge of the table and experienced a "razor" of the Japanese Kingdom, with their chin slick and their heads lowered sadly.

Everyone knows their own weight, one north and one south, and there is no dispute about leading his subordinates, and the two parties have sat down one after another.

To be honest, he was used to the kind of Juyi Hall of Liangshan heroes, and he was really not used to such a big table, and Chen Yonghua, who was anxious, was embarrassed for a second, so he stood up first, and was the first to hug Mao Jue with a fist.

"Mao Faucet! Our Zheng family has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, offended your old dragon face, and collided with your old dock! Now you are still magnanimous, and the Zheng family is grateful! In order to express my apology and integrity, my family leader is willing to offer a million taels of Cheng Yi, a few gifts, and please smile!"

One million taels! If a few years ago, when the poor couldn't open the pot, these generals in Dongjiang would have been happy, but now, they are all full of disdain, and they can obviously hear the laughter one after another, even Adriana rolls her eyes funny.

Only Mao Jue is considered to be of better quality, but he still maintains that smiling appearance, smiling and waving his hand.

"Chen Junshi is polite, I and your family are businessmen! Although it has been a little unpleasant recently, it is all about business, and it is not possible to talk about who is right and who is wrong, so I will be excused if I apologize!"

Can Mao Jue want the silver sent to the door? Unless it's for a bigger portion, there is a good saying, reach out and don't hit the smiling person! Chen Yonghua's million taels of silver was not taken for nothing, he accepted it for apology, even if the grievances between the two families were written off, what would Lao Tzu do to kill you? Joke!

Although Mao Jue's refusal was expected, listening to him talk about business, Chen Yonghua's old face couldn't help but feel bitter, if you want to talk about business, then there is something to talk about.

"Our Dongjiang River is a poor place, and the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people! But it's hard to manage, and the court has not been in a recession in the past two years! There is a month or two a year for the silver, which is the emperor's grace! You still have to fight Donglu to the death, and it's not easy for Mao!"

"How about the food of Zheng Da's family? This boat north of Zhoushan will hang the flag of my Dongjiang River in the future! In the future, the small ones will hang the Dongjiang flag and go to Jiangnan to earn two wine money, and Zheng Da's master will also open the net, how about it? ”

Really! Mao Jue leaned forward like that, looked over with a sharp gaze, and couldn't help but twitch his face when he saw Chen Yonghua or Zheng Zhilong.

When Zheng Zhilong was in his heyday, there were more than 4,000 large and small ships under his name, not that these 4,000 ships were his, but that these ships had to hang the Zheng family's flag in order to do business in Southeast Asia.

Now Mao Jue is also eyeing this piece of fat, and if he wants to come to the country to do business, he can! But this time you have to hang the banner of Lao Tzu! As for the amount of money in this banner, it depends on your sincerity!

And Chen Yonghua calculated very well before, he went to the Japanese country to do business, and gave him Mao Jue to supply 30% of the goods, and you Dongjiang came to the sea of Fujian, you also had to supply 30% of the goods, and now you don't want to collect money on the ship with the Dongjiang flag, this whole unequal tariff system.

What's more, this also hurt the authority of the Zheng family!

In the past, the Zheng family was the dominant family! If you don't pay for it, just wait for the cargo to be lost! But now people are swaggering in front of you under the banner of the Dongjiang River, you still have to greet you with a smile, and now the maritime merchants are not as good as those exporters in later generations, to put it mildly, they are all snobbish and pirates, if you have milk, you are a mother, after a long time, who still worships your Zheng family's dock?

But don't say yes? Now there is only a quarter of the Zheng family's fleet left! Whether you can get that half back depends on Mao Jue's face, in case he offends him, even Mao Jue doesn't have to go to the door to retaliate, he will deduct it, and then put the Dongjiang fleet in the South China Sea for two laps, and some people will be mad dogs who pounce on them and bite the Zheng family fiercely. Now I have to swallow my front teeth even if I knock out my front teeth! All you can fight for is to swallow less blood.

"The ships north of Zhoushan hang the Maolongtou flag, and the boats south of Zhoushan hang the heading flag of my family, each guarding the mountain gate, how about it?"

Now you're a dad! We admit it! But don't stretch your claws too far! The flag was sent to Lao Tzu Ma Tsai! Chen Yonghua's eyes were as wide as light bulbs, and he almost didn't bite Mao Jue, but in the time he killed you with his eyes, Mao Jue finally gave in a little.

"That's exactly how it should be!"

agreed, but Mao Jue was still sneering in his heart, Chen Yonghua is smart enough, but after all, he is limited to the times, and he doesn't even know tariff protection! The businessmen of Fujian and Guangdong went north to do business, and they had to buy one more flag, and it was enough for them, the businessmen from Liaodong, Shandong, and Zhoushan, to buy one flag, and the cost was one grid shorter, and in terms of market competitiveness, these Jiangnan tycoons were one head shorter, and the poor and weak northern businessmen would kill them sooner or later.

Mao Jue originally hated those selfish and insatiable Jiangnan scholars, and he could stab them in their money bags, why didn't he do it?

This is the first core of the negotiation between Zheng and Mao's two families, and the interests are demarcated, although they have suffered a big loss, but the Zheng family is relieved.

However, in an instant, Mao Jue's words almost didn't make Zheng Zhilong jump up.

"It is said that the south ship and the north horse, Zheng Da's subordinate Yongfu gave Mao a lesson, in order to show respect! A ransom of one hundred taels, a ransom of one thousand taels for generals, and these big bosses! Ten thousand golden bodies! A ransom for one person is 10,000 taels! 10,000 taels of gold. ”

"You're a robbery!"

One hundred taels, twenty thousand people are two million taels! The leader of the general is one thousand taels, even if the small leaders of the dozen or twenty brothers are not counted, there are five, seven or six hundred people, that is six or seven hundred taels, as for Zheng Cai and them, the Zheng family's core group asked Mao Jue to do more than ten taels, more than 100,000 taels of gold, plus a piece of four or five hundred taels, you must know that the pure silver of the Ming Empire's annual income is only four or five million taels.

And in the concept of piracy, human life is not valuable, the ship is valuable, the port is parked with the face of the Zheng family, a total of fifty or sixty warships, how much silver does it cost to redeem these?

Even Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be moved, Huo Ran stood up and roared angrily.

"One hundred taels per person, it's too expensive, in Fujian, even if you kidnap a ticket, ten taels per person is enough, and the boss and a few masters will follow what you said about Mao, how about it?"

Chen Yonghua also frowned and beat the side drum on the side, but this time, Mao Jue didn't give in at all, and shook his head very solemnly.

"Man has only one life! In our Dongjiang River, whether it is a personal soldier or a guard soldier, if he dies, Lao Tzu will give a hundred taels of silver, is the Zheng family's life so worthless? ”

Zheng Zhilong choked again, making him admit that the lives of the southerners are cheap and the lives of the northerners are precious! Is he still messing around with the rivers and lakes?

The mouth is bitter, the master is dumb and he has to be angry, Chen Yonghua is stubborn and continues to cheat.

"Master Mao, we are guests from afar, and we don't bring much entanglement, such a large sum, even if it is raised, it will take some time! You're too ruthless! ”

"It's okay if you don't have any cash! You are all people with heads and faces on the sea of Fujian, let's just set up a monument and swear on this Iki Island! Person! The boat, you can take it back first, when the money of Zheng Da's family is enough, and it is sent to the north, Mao knocked the stele, and the affidavit was sent back, not to mention ......"

There was a long voice here, Mao Jue's eyes flashed with a strange feeling, and he said with a smile.

"There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, just redeem the people close to Zheng Da's family, there is not much left in the ship, and there is no need to redeem it all, what do you think?"

Can you save money? Zheng Zhilong's face suddenly showed great emotion, but Chen Yonghua, who heard this, couldn't wait to go up and slap Mao Jue twice.

What a naked conspiracy!
