Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are also businesses, Penghu has become a hoarding place for the owners of ships under the East India Company, and many conscious businessmen in Fuzhou and Quanzhou immediately came by trekking through mountains and rivers, invited cooks, and spent huge sums of money to import food materials and luxury goods from the mainland.

Going to sea is sharply risky, maybe someone will die that day, so the pirates are also happy in time, and later generations will return to the charming waves of Penghu Bay, but it is the pirates' ugly scolding and chaotic drinking and shouting, in front of the wine table, one by one, ugly-looking, outright rotten people are drunk, and on the gambling table, there are even broken silver with a little blood stains scattered on the table, and the gamblers with red eyes are completely dissolute.

However, the pirates also had the foresight to see that in the easternmost tavern, within three meters of Zheng Sen's table, was absolutely empty, and no one dared to despise this stunned boy who had just come out, not only because he had brought back seven Dutch and Spanish merchant ships, but also because even now, there were two bearded and hideous and terrifying heads hanging on the pillar at the entrance of the tavern.

People get something, they have to lose something, Mao Jue gave these pirates and bandits absolute freedom and opportunities, they naturally lost the legal security enjoyed by the citizens of the empire, and now Penghu is a complete lawless place, and the pirates are all based on their own achievements and ferocity.

Undoubtedly, Zheng Sen is the best of the pirates.

Unlike other pirates who poured white wine and rice wine, Zheng Sen, who was from an upper-class background, drank it very elegantly, and the frosted wine of Changbai Mountain filled his cup like blood, and the bright red liquid also dyed his lips red.

Zheng Zhilong's six sons, except for the youngest who was born to a favored concubine, almost all of the rest have obtained a high position in the East India Company, and even the fifth Zheng Yin who is studying has also been admitted to the Juren, and now it is the judge of Nanyang Mansion, the Zheng family seems to have broken away from the ranks of lowly pirates, and completely entered the upper class, only he Zheng Sen, abandoned the command of the Hangzhou garrison corps arranged by Zheng Zhilong for him, a general-level officer, but he joined the ranks of pirates and ran the ship in person, which is in the entire Zheng family, It's all incomprehensible and contemptible, to what extent? His fourth uncle, Zheng Zhibao, who was not a gentleman, looked down on him.

However, thinking of his family members who were obsessed with wine and fame, the corners of Zheng Sen's mouth also showed a sneer of disdain, and he raised his head, and he poured the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Growing up in the Wa Kingdom since he was a child, Zheng Sen was accustomed to seeing the fierceness and viciousness of those lawless Warring States daimyo, and what made him even more intoxicated was the right of the Warring States daimyo to be the masters of their own affairs and supreme in their territory! He can see clearly, even if he ascends to the sky in one step and becomes the commander of the general corps in Hangzhou? All the officers are from the military academy of the Liaodong department, and the troops' salaries, supplies, and military merits no longer belong to the generals, and now even if they have reached the highest military position in the empire, such as Wen Meng, the general of Zhengxi, is just a puppet on hand with Mao Jue, Mao Jue wants to remove Wen Meng, just an order.

Only now, although he has only about 500 pirates, and he still has to run in the most ferocious ocean, but he fights the world for himself, and every drop of blood is shed for himself.

Zheng Sen and Wu Sangui are different, although the latter is ambitious, but he is also willing to be a powerful king under Mao Jue, just like he took refuge in Jiannu in history, until Kangxi cut the feudal domain has been forced to the brain, he raised the flag to rebel, and now in Calcutta, he just sees a better stage, and Zheng Sen is a careerist who only fights for himself!

At the beginning, Mao Jue surrendered Zheng Zhilong, which made Zheng Sen extremely disgusted, but now, he can't help but have a good impression of Mao Jue, after all, under the unprecedented regent, there is this unprecedented stage for him to play.

Although there is no hope for the Ming Dynasty, the world is so big, establishing a country overseas, Wang Tu hegemony, is not in vain to live in this life!

Zheng Sen's subordinates were still dreaming about sharing the spoils, but they didn't know that they had embarked on a road of no return.

One will be a success, let alone a king!

To say that opportunities always belong to those who have a heart! It's true, drinking wine, Zheng Sen was still thinking about how to make the most profit in the war between the two East India companies, and the drunkard next to the fire suddenly lowered his voice, dangling the rice wine jar, quietly but proudly showing off.

"You know what? Brother, Lao Tzu has recently found a way to make money! Lao Tzu has learned a big secret! ”

"Pull it down! So poor that you're about to drop your pants, what secrets do you have? ”

The wine partner on the side probably drank too much, and with his tongue wide open, he snorted with great disdain.

However, he didn't care, Zheng Sen's ears were pricked up.

To be honest, such a "big secret", Zheng Sen doesn't know how much he has heard about the few times he has rested in Penghu, it is nothing more than which pirate buried the treasure there, who secretly clashed with whom, and he also preferred to drink quietly, in his heart, he hates this noisy environment, however, as long as there is a chance, Zheng Sen will still soak in the tavern.

These humble taverns, over-drinking pirates, are always the best source of news!

This time, even if Zheng Sen was a little careless about eavesdropping, the god of opportunity really favored him, and seeing that his companion didn't care, the red-nosed Liangguang pirate shouted in incomprehensible Cantonese with his tongue wide: "It's definitely a big secret!" The day before yesterday, Lao Tzu followed our captain Neptune Shark to do a boatload of big teeth in the west, and the captain of the domain begged Lao Tzu for mercy and bought his life, and he got the news! ”

"There are more than a dozen fleets of the Great Tooth Kingdom in the west full of gold, and they are about to arrive in Luzon from the far east!"

"The ship was full of gold they had plundered from the barbarians on the other side of the sea, dozens of chests, no! There are hundreds of boxes! ”

The two pirates were still muttering, but Zheng Sen's heart was beating violently, others didn't know, and he had been talking to Zheng Zhilong for a few years, he believed in the accuracy of this news too much.

Even if it is a famous event in later generations, the Spanish treasure ship!

Once went to Manila with Zheng Zhilong to do business, he has seen it, not as exaggerated as a few pirates say, but the ship is indeed full of precious metals such as gold and silver from the New World, full of boxes of Spanish gold and silver coins, in Manila, these treasure ships will spend part of the precious metals to buy Oriental silk and spices, which is also the main source of gold and silver for the Ming Empire's maritime trade, but Zheng Zhilong, who controlled the Ming pirates in the South China Sea at that time, did not have the capital to argue with the Spaniards in Luzon, so look at these treasure ships, I can only sigh with hope.

But now the situation is different! Mao Jue bought the East India Company, and that posture was already fully involved in the South Seas! At this time, Manila's massacre of Ming Qiao also completely pushed himself to the opposite side of the Ming Empire, if the two sides stumbled, Zheng Sen had no doubt that Mao Jue would definitely be the winner of the last laugh, even if he only had half of the Ming Empire in his hands.

If you want to establish a country overseas, sufficient funds are essential, if you can grab this batch of treasures in your hands before Mao Jue makes a move, you can fight for at least five years!

Suddenly moved, he took out a Spanish silver coin from his arms and slapped it on the table, Zheng Sen didn't drink anymore, turned around and left.

........

With a capable boss, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that you can share more silver and gain more, but the disadvantage is tired! Every time he comes to Penghu to sell stolen goods, Zheng Sen is only allowed to stay for one night! If you dare to be late, you will deduct the silver, and if you dare to grin your teeth, you will be even more opposed, which is directly Zheng Zhilong's old method, with two holes in his body, hanging behind the boat and dragging it, the subtropical shark will let you see what it means to be more fearful than death!

Early in the morning, the sailors of the Zheng Sen Pirate Regiment who were hungover and lost their pants, although they were shaking, still returned to the half-built cement port, and the three first- and second-class battleships that they got through the background of the Zheng family.

"Young master, everyone is back!"

Yesterday was deeply frightened by Zheng Sen's eyes, Shi Daxuan didn't dare to enjoy anything last night, and this morning, he counted the number of people early, and respectfully saluted Zheng Sen sitting under the main mast.

However, unexpectedly, Zheng Sen did not set sail as always, but tilted his head, and after a while, several Zheng family soldiers carried two boxes up, opened them in front of the sailors and pirates, and the shiny Spanish silver coins and guilders were suddenly revealed in front of people's eyes, looking at these wealth, hundreds of pirate sailors all had bright eyes, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

did not live up to their expectations, still with a face that would never smile, Zheng Sen tilted his head slightly, and ordered coldly.

"Two handfuls for one person! You can play in Penghu for three more days, but you can do one thing for Lao Tzu! Spread the news secretly! ”

In the shortness of breath between Shi Daxuan and the pirates who were very close, Zheng Sen also lowered his voice a little.

"Lao Tzu wants to let the pirates in the entire Penghu port know that another group of Spanish barbarian treasure ships are about to arrive in Manila, with at least two or three million taels on board!"

"Whoever grabs it, it's sent!"

"Young master, this, is this true? With such a big meat ticket, why don't we do it alone? ”

Excitedly, his tongue was a little knotted, Shi Daxuan was extremely excited, and asked hurriedly, however, Zheng Sen didn't explain at all, just looked over with a cold look, and suddenly, let him hold back all his words!

Shi Daxuan's first mate is like this, not to mention those brainless pirates, in short, after grabbing two handfuls of silver coins, a large group of Zheng family pirates got off the ship happily, and soon, the news spread on the small Penghu.

A big wave of fat sheep is coming!
