Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the flagship, looking at the scene on the dock, with a hint of pride on the corner of his mouth. The scene arranged by myself seems to be very good!

The mastery of human nature, how to use it to stimulate people's hearts and arouse the greed of others, this kind of thing, for Zheng Zhilong, is indeed just a pediatric matter, don't be too good at it. Otherwise, in the struggle for hegemony in the South China Sea, Li Kuiqi's strength was much stronger than him. In the end, it was he who used the greed of the human heart to poach Li Kuiqi's subordinates and divide his strength, so as to defeat Li Kuiqi in one fell swoop in the decisive battle. If it weren't for the emperor wanting to use Li Kuiqi and changing Li Zhiqi's name to him, it is estimated that even the ashes would be gone now.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was just observing the situation on the dock. In order for this matter to become a long-term talking point and spread more widely, it is not enough to watch this kind of onlookers at present.

After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea in his heart again, so he asked Liu Jinsheng: "Ben Shuai decided to make the points public at the dock, what do you think?" ”

"Whatever you want!" When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he sneered indifferently and said, "Forgive me and don't dare to be greedy!" ”

He, Liu Jinsheng, stayed by Zheng Zhilong's side, didn't he just want to spy on him. If he is caught in the wrong place, he will not be soft, and he will immediately report to the emperor to avenge the revenge of the year.

Of course, he didn't know if there were other brocade guards like him by Zheng Zhilong's side, and Zheng Zhilong didn't know. Therefore, no one dares to do the wrong thing!

Zheng Zhilong was already surprised by Liu Jinsheng's attitude, and when he saw his reaction at this time, he knew that Liu Jinsheng didn't react, and he didn't bother to explain, so he ordered to open all the boxes directly at the dock for counting, and publicize the intention on the surface.

If you really want to know these silver dollars, there is actually another way, which is to weigh them. But Zheng Zhilong had to take it all apart and find a little bit of silver dollars. This practice, no doubt, was carried out in another way by carrying out the emperor's will.

As for the money exposed, I don't worry that those onlookers will rob it. You must know that the dock is full of soldiers, and if anyone dares to rob it, it is impossible for the dock to get out.

So, not long after, an officer stepped forward and announced loudly: "The commander has an order, the silver dollars seized this time are now all counted, and no one is allowed to covet a silver dollar!" ”

Then, amid the astonishment of the crowd, a soldier stepped forward, opened the box, and dumped all the silver dollars in the clearing. Boxes and boxes and boxes of silver dollars resounded in the port of Manila, and also in the hearts of every onlooker.

In a short time, a silver mountain, under the light of the sun, was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes. The crowd of onlookers was already suffocated, only the sound of heavy breathing, one after another, played another kind of music in this port!

I don't know how long I was silent, but suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind me, with a little urgency and a little anxiety.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, King Yi is here!"

Yiwang is here? When everyone heard this, they turned around and looked, and sure enough, it was King Yi's car, and they came in a hurry.

If you don't avoid it, you might crash into it.

So, regardless of whether these onlookers were willing or not, they all got out of the way and saluted King Yi at the same time.

On the bow of the flagship, Zheng Zhilong had already seen Yiwang's car coming here in a hurry. Don't ask, think about it with your toes, you know that Yiwang came to the dock in such a hurry, and nine times out of ten he came to this pile of silver.

Sure enough, Yiwang's car arrived in a hurry, and when it reached the edge of the silver mountain, it came to an abrupt end. As soon as the car came to a stop, Yiwang got out of the car and stood on the wheel, his eyes attracted by the mountains of silver dollars.

Gotcha, another pair of eyes are blind!

After a long while, King Yi came back to his senses, his face was full of greed and excitement, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the vassal king, immediately jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the side of the "Silver Mountain", and then asked in a quick tone: "These silver dollars were sent to Luzon by the Spaniards, right?" ”

Without waiting for the officer on the scene to answer, he said hurriedly: "Now that Lone is the master of Luzon, then these silver dollars are Lonely, right?" ”

The officer was speechless, thinking to himself, although you are the king of the domain, it is good to have a good face, and even say that these silver dollars are yours!

But on the surface, of course, he would not answer like this, but replied officially: "Your Highness, this matter is not up to the lower officials, the lower officials are just ordered to count the silver dollars!" ”

The soldiers on this dock all belong to the southeast naval division of the Ming Dynasty, and they are under the command of Zheng Zhilong, not Yiguo. In fact, the army of Yiguo is still pitifully small, and it can only protect the palace. As for the rest, it is the Ming army that is responsible for guarding. Therefore, after the officer had answered, he continued to perform his duties, shouting loudly that his subordinates should not make mistakes in counting, and not steal, otherwise military law would do something.

King Yi also knew that this petty official couldn't be the master, if it was possible, he didn't want to ask, so he just grabbed the money and ran away.

Although he is a vassal king, the money he has accumulated for generations is basically used up after he becomes a vassal domain. Now it attracts local merchants from the Ming Dynasty to trade, but there is an extreme shortage of silver. Now that there is so much silver piled up in front of him, it is strange not to be red!

"Go, help Gu invite Zheng Dashuai!" King Yi's eyes were fixed on the shining silver mountain, and he didn't look back, shouting loudly to his subordinates.

Before his men could reply, a cheerful voice sounded beside him: "No need to please, the end is coming." The last general has seen His Royal Highness King Yi! ”

Nominally, after all, the vassal king is big, so Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to come over to pay a salute.

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's voice, King Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he saw Zheng Zhilong in front of him, clasping his fists and saluting himself.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" When King Yi saw it, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and he said with a smile, "Zheng Dashuai has worked hard!" ”

When the crowd of onlookers saw this, they all knew it in their hearts. Yiwang is here to grab money, and I don't know how much money he can rob? This is really pie in the sky, I really have to wake up laughing in my dreams!

If they were to say that all the money would go to the king, they would not believe it under any circumstances. But what they are curious about is that Yiwang is here, and they don't know how much money they will take?

When they were thinking this, they heard the idea of King Yi beating the silver: "Since these silver dollars were sent to Luzon by the Spaniards. Now that he is the king of Luzon, then this silver dollar is lonely, what does Zheng Dashuai think of this? ”

In fact, he also knew that it was unrealistic to come and take all the money for himself. But he also thought about it, first ask for the price, and then pay back the money on the spot, so that he can get more silver dollars!

Who knows, Zheng Zhilong didn't have time to speak, Liu Jinsheng next to him had already said coldly: "This matter has been reported to the emperor, and the emperor has a will, even the people with all the silver dollars will be escorted to the Fuzhou Governor's Palace!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Yiwang's smile immediately froze on his face. scolded in his heart, why is it so fast? What are you going to do so fast? You guys in groups, you like to pat the emperor's ass so much, just such a small thing, why do you want to rush to reincarnation, and you actually report it so quickly, is it interesting?

At this moment, he suddenly hated this chat group very much. If it weren't for the chat group, it would be impossible for the emperor who was far away in Beijing to know about this, even if he couldn't get it all, he might be able to get some of it after discussing it with Zheng Zhilong. This damn chat group, what a damn one!

Although he scolded in his heart, he didn't dare to go to the chat group to ask Emperor Chongzhen for money. If you make the emperor unhappy, just say a word, and your life will be sad! However, with so much silver, he didn't have his own share, and King Yi felt that he was bitter in his heart!

Zheng Zhilong seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the capture of the last general, and it naturally belongs to the imperial court." However, in the future, after the general has withdrawn, if the Spaniards send silver dollars to the door again, it will naturally be captured by His Highness, and it will all belong to His Highness! ”

When King Yi heard this, his mouth immediately opened wide, and there was still this statement? Stupid? In the future, Yiguo has the power to protect itself, and the imperial army withdraws, and I don't know which year of the monkey and the month of the horse are gone. At that time, how could the Spaniards still send silver dollars!

Thinking like this, he suddenly felt a little excited, and immediately replied to Zheng Zhilong: "Zheng Dashuai is really joking, how can the Spaniards still send silver over!" ”

What he meant was that the Spaniards would definitely find out that there was something wrong with Luzon in the future, and it would be impossible for them to send the silver.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't know whether it was a true misunderstanding or a false misunderstanding, so he replied with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the last general heard that there are real mountains of gold and silver on the Mexican side, otherwise, in the past, how could these Spaniards transport silver dollars to Luzon every year?" ”

When he said this, he said that "there are real mountains of gold and silver on the Mexican side", and he bit it very clearly and said it more heavily. At the same time, he scanned his eyes and found that many people's eyes were exceptionally bright at this moment.

When King Yi heard this, he sighed in his heart, no matter how much gold and silver there is in Mexico, what does it have to do with him? Thinking so, he reluctantly looked at the hill of silver dollars piled up again, and finally forgot his politeness, turned around a little lonely, got into the car and drove back to the palace.

No matter how much silver there is, it's the emperor's, and it's better to be out of sight!

As soon as King Yi left, the crowd of onlookers began to whisper again. Some people talk about King Yi, and some people talk about Mexico.

For the Ming people who were originally in Luzon, they had also faintly heard about the things in Mexico. And there is another point, in the past, the Spaniards used various methods such as cheating and abduction, and the Ming people went to Mexico to publicize it, which was naturally good. It is said that Mexico is full of treasures, and as long as you go to the past, you can make a fortune. Of course, there are also people who feel that when someone said that they came to Luzon, didn't they also say that there were treasures everywhere, and if they could come, they would be able to make a fortune?

In any case, this kind of similar words, being spoken, coupled with the mountain of silver dollars he saw in front of him, and the words that Zheng Dashuai said, corroborated each other, and invisibly increased many people's yearning for Mexico.

It wasn't until dusk that it took a lot of manpower to count the silver dollars. In this process, those Akito, who have nothing important, have been watching. And if there is something to leave, it is also reluctant to leave, and then take the news farther away, attracting more onlookers.

In any case, the people here in Manila, Luzon, are full of eyes!

After this day, the topic of this silver dollar mountain has become the talk of the Luzon side after tea and dinner, and for a long, long time, some people still talk about it. After all, there is a lot of silver, there is Zheng Dashuai, and the king of benefits has appeared.

For Zheng Zhilong, he perfectly completed the emperor's will, and then sent people to send away these people and silver dollars, his attention was still focused on the situation in Nanyang.

He sent skilled sailors from various armies to train in new sailing ships, and there was a good saying that those who are difficult will not be able to do it, and those who will know it will not be difficult. After a few months of training, I believe that the operation of this new sailing ship will not be much worse than Xiyi.

These trainings were conducted in the waters of Luzon. On the one hand, it is here to be guarded, and it is the bridgehead of the decisive battle in the South Seas; On the other hand, there is no more suitable place for sailboat training, and there is no way to hide it.

In this regard, Zheng Zhilong is not worried at all, this new sailing ship is not his killer weapon, his real killer weapon is the Jinyi Wei spy and rifled cannon. Needless to say, the rifled cannon is easy to keep secret. Ever since he got the rifled cannon, he even longed for the decisive battle in the South Seas to start quickly, so that the red-haired and those pirates, as well as the indigenous coalition army, would be taken by surprise!

Thinking like this, he complained a little in his heart that Liu Xiang's house was too bad, and he had been working together for so long, but he hadn't done it all, no wonder his reputation along the coast of Daming couldn't be ranked in front of him!

In the decisive battle of Nanyang here, the emperor has already made it clear that he is the commander-in-chief, and when the time comes, he will command the battle between the water and land armies. Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be excited.

All along, the Marines were just vassals of the Army. But now this one, hehe, it's me Zheng someone as the commander, this battle must be fought well, but it has been passed down through the ages!

He is looking forward to it, but the situation is not optimistic on Liu Xiang's side.

No, after the fine work sent to Manila rushed back to Temasek, he immediately went to Liu Xiang to tell him what he saw in Manila.

New-style sailing ships, Spanish treasure ships, mountain-like silver dollars, elite Ming troops, etc., all stimulated Liu Xiang's hearing, and he didn't say a word, his face was gloomy and in a daze.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and saw that the fine work had finished his prayers, and was waiting for his instructions, so he waved his hand a little impatiently, and asked him to hurry away.
