The sea breeze whistling with a chill, the shore is a ship that can not be seen, there are lucky ships, the ships of the Ming Dynasty are on the Franc machine, the red cannons and rockets, fire bricks, birds, guns, sailors and gunners on it are also wearing Ming army clothes, there is a kind of Sangui gunboat, the ship is tall, and the guns are sold with a dark cold mang, as well as Japanese, Western warships, large and small ships are moored on the shore, and you can only see the continuous sails from a distance.

Historical records of Zheng Zhilong's trade scope is wide in the East and Nanyang: Da Ni, Hun, Champong, Luzon, Yonggang, Beigang, Dayuan, Hirado, Nagasaki, Bombai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam, it is estimated that the strength of the army is: Bao Han, Japanese, Korean, Austronesian, African black and other races up to 200,000 troops, with more than 3,000 large and small boats, at this moment he became the general army of Fujian to accept the Ming army here is more powerful.

A big mansion on the shore, in the courtyard, a room and two rows are full of people, including many Han people, there are also Japanese people in uniforms, and a group of blonde foreigners, Zheng Zhilong sits on the main seat, this man who looks very heroic is the sea overlord in the late Ming Dynasty, his sea fleet has no connection with the Ming army, the real Ming Ocean Fleet disappeared in the early Ming Dynasty because of the sea ban, and the local sailors who won the Battle of Luliang also shrank because of financial problems.

In this way, Zheng Zhilong can rise on the sea, the Ming Dynasty is also mostly a thief, the Houjin is troubled, unable to control the sea, his number of sailors is huge, 3,000 large and small ships, nearly 300,000 troops, but the strength is still far from reaching the level of the Ming army's Luliang naval battle, in which the water battle rockets that shine in the sea and mountains can not be found in the combat records he has fought.

Zheng Zhilong's face has a kind of arrogance, he followed his eldest brother Yan Siqi from Japan, after the death of his eldest brother, he was elected as the leader of the alliance, led the eighteen Zhi across the Ming Sea, and the sea forces all surrendered, even the Dutch had to pay him protection money every year, defeated the Dutch and Liu Xiang's coalition forces in the Battle of Liuluo Bay, and won the Taiwan migration, Quanzhou refugees, and opened up Taiwan, the maritime empire, he was the uncrowned king of the blue sea

He wiped the fire gun in his hand, it was the winged tiger gun of the Ming Dynasty's facial features, and he said: "The two thousand bird guns I recently bought from Guangzhou can reach our Fujian army" He said with a kind of expectation.

"My lord, it has been transported," said a man in a robe on the side, it was Li Guozhu, a leader of overseas Chinese in Japan, and he added: "Our army has 80,000 firecrackers. ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded, looking at a room of generals with a sense of curiosity in his heart, a strong man with a mighty general on the side was Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu and said: "Big brother, now the military strength of our two armies by water is no less than 250,000, why don't you use the Northern Expedition in the name of the Qing Jun's side to expand your strength."

All the generals were scorching with expectation, Zheng Zhilong's eyes were also expectant, but he shook his head and said: "My sailor is strong, but land warfare is not what our army is good at. ”

"Big brother's words are different, our cavalry can't do it, but we have firearms, the Ming Dynasty, and even the Westerners, their advanced firearms are in the hands of our army! How can the cavalry not take the south with firearms?"

"And our army has the advantage of the Iron Man Army, the Iron Man Army is invincible, the sword and gun are invulnerable to the north, and they will not suffer against their cavalry"

This group of generals are all extremely vicious water thieves, and they are naturally ambitious to expand their territory in the north, and they no longer want to shrink into a corner of Fujian.

"Oh" Zheng Zhilong looked at the people below, he shook his head, how strong are the firearms, the other party's light cavalry cut off your logistics is enough for you, he helplessly smiled bitterly This group of pirates is still not familiar with land warfare, and said: "Don't talk about this, just now Qin Xiaochuan, the chief soldier of Shandong, liquidated the various wealthy clans in Shandong yesterday, those pirates?" Hehe, I think eighty percent was hired by Qin Xiaochuan! ”

"Those wealthy families in Shandong give us a lot of money every year, and they give us thousands of taels of silver when they transport a boat by sea, but it's a pity that they were attacked by pirates."

"It shouldn't be, the group of pirates of the eldest brother we have been exposed to are extremely cunning, the main force is the Europeans, how can they have an intersection with this Shandong general army, they fight with the swift Xiaochuan We are very disadvantaged"

"I heard that Shandong Port is very rich, and Shandong can earn more than one million silver from this port a year, which is simply a gold cave."

When everyone talked about it, they were all talking about the prosperity of Shandong, Zheng Zhilong had a kind of entanglement on his face, he was greedy in his heart when Shandong was rich, but the powerful Qingzhou army made him worried. "Forget it, the Qingzhou army is strong and not my current enemy, I need to see the prince who is going south," he said, but he thought of the prince and thought about whether he could get any benefits from him.

Everyone stopped talking, and they all understood the strength of the Qingzhou Army he was talking about.

Li Guozhu stood up, this middle-aged man who looked vicissitudes of life opened his mouth with a strange feeling like a Japanese speaking Chinese, "My lord, I think this Qingzhou army can't fight"

The crowd was eccentric, and they didn't understand why Li Guozhu, the leader of overseas Chinese in Japan, who had always been known for his timidity, would say this.

Zheng Zhilong also looked over, and he said, "I've been to Qingzhou, do you know what I saw in Qingzhou Port?" He said that everyone was curious, and their group of water thieves were busy accepting the strength of the Ming army in Fujian, and no one went to such a distant place in Shandong, only this Li Guozhu went by boat and dressed as a businessman.

"Rich shops, I heard that there are shops on both sides of the road"

"I heard that there is a big machine that is ten feet high, just like a building car can drop heavy objects"

"There are also merchant ships, I heard that the shore is full of merchant ships."

Zheng Zhilong was also strange, and said, "Don't sell Guanzi"

"Neither" Li Guozhu continued: "It's a growing Daming Sailor, more than a hundred ships with a thousand materials!" They trained rigorously day and night, and the well-equipped rocket artillery was a training that is rare in the world, and if the amount of training had been placed on our soldiers, they would have mutinied or gone mad. ”

A room full of people are inhaling, as pirates, they naturally understand what the real Daming Sailor looks like, how can it be that now because of lack of funds, there are local sailors or even rely on local landlords to raise donations to establish it, and the real Daming Sailor is the king of the sea in the Far East.

"The Rising Great Ming Water Master?" Zheng Zhilong had an inexplicable color on his face, he didn't know how much of a sailor the barren land in Shandong could support, but Da Ming? This country that has been strong for more than 200 years has a sailor, and the other party is an orthodox noble, if a sailor rises, he doesn't know what will happen! "Shandong sailors must be removed"

Zheng Zhilong said that no matter how strong his strength was on the road, he was not afraid, and it was a big deal to retreat to the sea as his pirate, but the appearance of the Shandong Navy Division made him feel a different and huge threat, and it really threatened his roots. "Second brother, first send someone to Shandong to inquire about the news, and order the three armies to prepare, and prepare for the reason that the country will be mistaken by the country and the people to compete for profits, rob the merchant and shake the country's capital, and send Shandong from the water, and be sure to eliminate this rising sailor in the cradle."
