Zhao Hui, the son of Zhao Siyang, is a regimental commander of the Marine Corps of the Marine Division of the newly formed unit.

Zhao Siyang, a veteran who has been following Zhang Qiang from Jinhua Mansion, is honest and low-key.

He has always been Zhang Qiang's leading general of the artillery of the Huaxia Army, and he is the absolute authority in the artillery, and no one can surpass him in the Huaxia artillery system.

At present, he has been promoted to the post of director of artillery, and the director of artillery is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Artillery.

This time, after quelling the internal rebellion of the Huaxia Kingdom, Zhang Qiang set his sights on Southeast Asia where the rebel leader Du Ge was located.

One is to see if we can find an opportunity to kill Duge, and the other is to carry out deeper development and utilization of Qiongzhou, which is already the territory of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Zheng Tai looked at the side of Zheng Chenggong's young face, looking at his heroic and confident appearance.

I can't help but sigh that I am still a young man with vigor and blood, and I am already old, and I am always worried about this and that, and I don't have complete confidence in this attack on the Dutch's stronghold on the treasure island.

In his opinion, although this operation took advantage of the Dutch and the Portuguese to jointly attack the Jinhua Righteous Army, other pirates of all sizes went together to join in the fun, and the entire Treasure Island Strait was no longer a piece of white sails, and the enemy's spies everywhere, the timing of the eyes, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, and desperately preparing to take the treasure island, was simply a big gamble.

If they lose the bet and go back to the coast of the mainland, their strength will be hit hard, and among the pirates who have snatched their purses from the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army, maybe that one will be transformed into a new Wu Liuqi, a new Zheng Cai.

Or the Liu Xiang who gave Zheng Zhilong and his brothers a headache.

"Uncle Zheng, who do you say is the final winner in this war to change the dynasty?" Zheng Chenggong asked.

Zheng Tai smiled bitterly, "Big nephew, don't test your uncle and me, I'm just a rough man, you let me jump into the gang and cut people with an axe, there are absolutely few people who eat at sea who dare to say that they can win you say that you say me, you say that you run a fishing boat and sail through this strait, I don't say that I close my eyes, just say that in the dark night, I can use a small fishing boat to go back and forth, but when it comes to this political situation, hehe, you say I really don't understand." ”

Zheng Chenggong pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then what do you think this Zhang Qiang wants?"

Zheng Tai thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't understand, if you want to talk about force, there is really no army in Daming that is as powerful as the tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he can completely sweep the north and south of the river, it can be said that no one can stop him, just like the Manchu Tartars came down from the Kanto all the way, the mighty and mighty, the elite 100,000 Tartar army, several ways swept through the north of the Ming Dynasty, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming Dynasty, there are hundreds of strong cities, but they are like tofu, they are smashed and smashed, and the rivers and mountains of the imperial court are like falling leaves after autumn, helplessly falling, They were grabbed in the hands of those brutal savages, crushed to pieces, and scattered in the wind. ”

Zheng Chenggong looked at him and pushed him, "Okay, uncle, you are amazing, this analogy, the appropriate one is those who read, and they can't find flaws." ”

Zheng Tai could only touch his feverish face, and used the rare shyness of the big men, twisting instead of words, and being praised like this by his nephew, which made Zheng Tai feel moved and happy in his heart, and at the same time feel at ease.

has always been a son of heaven and a courtier, he finally sat firmly in the group of Zheng Chenggong, and was appreciated by Zheng Chenggong, he knew his own ability, if there were no capable people of the Zheng family for these two generations, he would have been like other pirates, annexed by others, or squeezed by the Portuguese and Dutch There is no place to live.

The two teased each other, teased each other, and the topic turned back, Zheng Chenggong didn't wait for Zheng Tai to answer, he knew that Zheng Tai couldn't come up with an answer that satisfied him, and he just guessed with his ability and observation, knowledge and experience, "I think he's doing the same thing as Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

Without thinking about it, Zheng Tai casually asked, "The same thing?" ”

Zheng Chenggong casually lifted the purple cloak that was blown in front of him by the sea breeze and lifted it behind him, but the sea breeze still swirled, wrapping his cloak from left to right, and from right to left, this is the wind in the strait, blocked by the mountains, the wind blowing from the entrance of the strait, forming a whirlpool here, and then directly to the top of the strait, the wind with the moisture of the sea water, extremely irregular, like some unexpected actions of naughty children.

"Yes,"

"At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang had a little strength that could compete with the Mengyuan court for the first time, and then he asked Zhu Sheng, a college student, how to go in order to win the world, and Zhu Sheng gave him one, 'Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.' As a result, he finally sat in the world with such a strategy. ”

Zheng Tai was shocked, "King Jun, you said that this Zhang Qiang wants to win the world and get this Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly, and replied: "To be precise, it is not the Ming Dynasty, but the heroes of the troubled times, at present, the Qing Dynasty Tartars did not fully occupy the Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty still stands in the south, and the remnants of the Great Shun are still wandering around, although many people have returned to the Yongli Imperial Court, but there are still many people who still insist on fighting against the Qing army and the Ming army. ”

A wave came, Zheng Chenggong took a few steps back, but his shoes and trouser legs were still wet by the big waves, and the foam of the waves that were broken by the reef even splashed on the faces of the two people, and the two people let the sea water flow down their faces disapprovingly.

"Then, ——, Shizi, is it possible for us?" Jung Tae asked.

Zheng Chenggong shook his head, "There is no possibility, I have never fought for hegemony in the world, there are only those careerists and capable people on land, although I was also born on the mainland, and I traveled all over the world in my early years, but my foundation is on the sea, if it is on land, it is a tiger that goes down the mountain, the tiger falls on the plain, is bullied by dogs, it is impossible to succeed, and even ends up in disrepute." ”

"Alas—" Zheng Tai sighed.

Zheng Chenggong patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked inland, and said in a resentful tone: "Think about what happened to my father, Uncle Zheng, what a lesson from the past." ”

Zheng Tai sighed again, "An official, he is too obsessed with power, he wants to be recruited too much, how can we be friends with those officials who are sunny and snowy, but the black hole is shining underneath, and we are the ones who suffer in the end." ”

Looking back at the coast in the distance, Zheng Tai asked again: "Do you say that Zhang Qiang can survive this time?" ”

Zheng Chenggong shook his head, "I see that according to our spies, tens of thousands of coastal pirates have landed from everywhere, the Dutch and Portuguese soldiers are divided into two routes, annihilating his fleet, and the Manchu Tartars have sent people to assist them, maybe in other directions, the Manchu Tartar army has reached the border area controlled by both sides, once there is a big chaos on the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army, it will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack, and then the Jinhua Righteous Army will not care about it, and it will not be able to echo the beginning and the end, and it will be defeated." ”

Zheng Tai looked back at the opposite shore again, and then followed Zheng Chenggong to step on his war horse, and followed the tide of Zheng pirate army to the interior of the treasure island, they were going to make a detour to the coastal city built by the Dutch, and the back of the city of Geranza to attack.

A night owl flew up from the woods above them, flapped its wings and flew across the strait, higher and higher, over the strait, through the mountains, and finally into a cave at the top of a hill, its eyes shining as bright as light bulbs, staring at the movements of the people on the mountain plains below.

Here, Zhang Qiang's confidence was being lost, he reloaded the ammunition with trembling hands, and muttered, "Won't I survive today?" I already knew, listen to Zhu Dayou, bring more people, these damn Dutch, Portuguese, and Longwu Imperial Court, that guy is betraying me, why would he help them to fight me? ”

Zheng Tai looked at the side of Zheng Chenggong's young face, looking at his heroic and confident appearance.

I can't help but sigh that I am still a young man with vigor and blood, and I am already old, and I am always worried about this and that, and I don't have complete confidence in this attack on the Dutch's stronghold on the treasure island.
