"Oh, it's the Zheng family's sentinel ship? What to do! Some people shouted in a panic, and some people hurriedly wanted to hoist their sails and anchor. But many more people were completely overwhelmed www.biquge.info and some people shouted, "Raise a fart sail!" Surrender and pull down! ”

With this voice, the option of surrender became the consensus of everyone almost instantly.

"That's it, surrender and pull down! Fucking Li Guozhu can surrender, why can't Lao Tzu surrender? ”

"Lao Tzu can sail a boat, I don't believe in Zheng Zhilong, so I don't want an old sailor. Surrender! Surrender! ”

If the Zheng soldiers who operated the sentry ship were more daring and dared to drive the ship directly, then myths such as a ship capturing a fleet would have arisen. However, Xiao Bailang, the boss of the sentry boat, was a cautious person, although he could see that these ships seemed to be very wrong, but he could still see that there were many people on board from the telescope. So many people, so many boats, of course, is not something that Xiao Bailang's small sentinel boat can deal with. Anyway, discovering Liu Xiang's fleet was a great achievement, so Xiao Bailang waved his hand, and the sentinel turned around briskly and headed towards Quanzhou.

Zheng Cai, who stayed in Anping that afternoon, received a report from the sentinel ship, and he sent people to report to the stronghold that Zheng Zhilong might pass through with Pegasus, a post station along the way, and strengthened the precautions in the Quanzhou area.

The Zheng family's strength in Quanzhou was far greater than Liu Xiang's fleet, so theoretically, unless those pirates went crazy, they would definitely not come here to die. As for taking the initiative to take the initiative with the team, first, Zheng Zhilong did not give Zheng Cai such a big authority, and secondly, Zheng Cai himself also knew in his heart, he had always helped deal with some business chores, and he really wouldn't do it when it came to fighting. went out to fight against Liu Xiang, he Zheng Cai really didn't have such confidence, although he had many more boats. This is like meeting Xiang Yu Lu Bu on the battlefield, although there are no soldiers around them, and there are three or four hundred people on their side, but if they really want to take these people up to cut down, it really takes a lot of courage.

However, to Zheng Cai's surprise, in the afternoon, those pirates actually sailed their ships to the waters near Anping.

The entire Quanzhou City suddenly became nervous, but although Zheng Cai was a little annoyed in his heart, he was not worried, what could Liu Xiang do with such a few boats?

Soon, Zheng Cai noticed that the boats were behaving very strangely, they first lowered the sails, and then they all lowered the anchor.

"Damn, what are these guys doing?" Zheng Cai was stunned.

A small sampan was lowered on the opposite fleet, and then slowly rowed over. Before the small sampan landed, Zheng Cai heard a bald head with a loud voice shouting loudly: "Master Jun, don't open fire!" We are here to surrender! ”

……

By the time Zheng Zhilong learned that Liu Xiang had actually played such a trick to get rid of the golden cicada, it was already two days later, and then it took another day to rush back to Anping, and at this time Zheng Cai had already sorted out the news provided by the pirates who surrendered. After Zheng Zhilong read this information, he estimated Liu Xiang's voyage in his heart, and then sighed and said, "This Liu Xiang is really ...... I really didn't expect him to play such a hand. He's got enough supplies now, and I don't think we'll be able to catch up with them. It's a pity that he ran away again. ”

"Daddy doesn't have to be a pity." Zheng Sen was also on the side at this time, and after listening to Zheng Zhilong's sigh, he spoke: "Although Liu Xiang ran away, it is not much different from being captured. After this battle, Liu Xiang only had a few boats. If it was in the past, with Liu Xiang's reputation, it would be impossible to pull up some more people. But after this incident, as long as we spread this matter, who else would be willing to follow Liu Xiang? As the saying goes, pull the mountain, look forward to prosperity, and the first pile of righteousness in the rivers and lakes. Now that Liu Xiang has done such a thing that has ruined the morality of the rivers and lakes, the people on the rivers and lakes know it, who does not despise him. And Daddy, now that Uncle Li Guozhu has surrendered to Daddy, Daddy can also let Li Guozhu let out a rumor, saying that the reason why Uncle Li had a dislike with Daddy back then was all Liu Xiang's ghost. He didn't want to be recruited at the beginning, because he was jealous that the official position given to his father by the court was bigger than that given to him, and he didn't want his brothers to say that he didn't think about everyone and didn't give everyone a bright future, so he provoked conflicts between his brothers. People may not have believed these words in the past, but now that Liu Xiang has done such an unrighteous thing, who else will not believe it? At that time, what will Liu Xiang do to make a comeback? So although Liu Xiang has run away now, it is not much different from death. ”

"You're right." Zheng Zhilong nodded, "Liu Xiang is also the old brother of his father, he made it like this, and his father is also very sighing." To be honest, if he had died in a vigorous battle, he would have been a man, but now he is like this...... Alas! ”

Zheng Sen was also a little surprised, he remembered that in the original history, Liu Xiang was indeed killed in a vigorous battle, but now such a thing has happened.

"Maybe it's unwilling, and there's no real despair yet." Zheng Sen thought so, and said: "The ancients said: 'The only death is difficult through the ages. Sometimes, with a single thought, you do something that is worse than death. ”

When Zheng Sen said this, he somewhat aimed at Zheng Zhilong's later surrender to the Manchus, which could be regarded as a precautionary shot. In the original history, after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he thought that he could keep his family business, but who knew that the first move of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was to put him under house arrest, and then robbed Anping of the essence, and the countless wealth accumulated by Zheng Zhilong became the spoils of the Manchu Dynasty. I believe that Zheng Zhilong will regret it to death at that time. However, this is just the beginning. Because Zheng Chenggong refused to surrender, the Manchu Qing Dynasty finally killed Zheng Zhilong, who had already surrendered to Zheng Zhilong, and the Zheng family who followed him to surrender, when they had no way to take Zheng Chenggong. In history, when Zheng Zhilong was taken to the execution ground, he would definitely regret "hating not resisting the Qing Dynasty and leaving it as a shame today", but at this time, Zheng Zhilong still didn't feel anything about it.

"Big brother, there's one more thing." Zheng Cai, who was on the side, said, "The terms with the Dutch have basically been implemented." It's just that the eldest brother has been outside, and now he is waiting for the eldest brother to review and decide. ”

"It's finally done." Zheng Zhilong said, "Bring me the details early tomorrow morning, well, Asen, you will also come over early tomorrow morning to help your father take a look." ”

"The child knows." Zheng Sen hurriedly nodded.

"Also, you have been at home for a long time, and it is estimated that Mr. Hong will probably say behind my back that I have delayed your studies. Tomorrow I'll read this agreement, and you'll be ready to go back to study. After all, reading examiners is the way to go. Zheng Zhilong added another sentence.

……

Actually, there was nothing to modify the protocol for, but it took almost a whole day to study it. It wasn't until it was almost dinner that it was over.

"If it can be implemented, my Zheng family's income will increase greatly in the future." At the dinner table, Zheng Zhilong said very proudly.

"Daddy, my family has so much money, and the child is a little worried." Zheng Sen suddenly put down his chopsticks and said.

"Are you worried that someone will see that my family is too rich and will move our crooked minds?" Zheng Zhilong said.

"Yes." Zheng Sen replied.

"It's up to you." Zheng Zhilong said, "If you can get famous, not to mention becoming a governor, or becoming a prefect, our family will be much safer." ”

"The child dares not to do his best. It's just that if you make money at this speed of your father, you can say that it is the prefect, the governor, the governor, and the elder, and you don't dare to say insurance, and it is even more and more dangerous. Daddy, is there still one less unlucky pavilion chief assistant in this dynasty? Taiyue Xianggong back then, how illustrious he was, did he keep the Zhang family again? So even if the child is really admitted to the civil service, the father can't rely on it completely, and he has to retreat. This is also the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit that the ancients said. Zheng Sen replied.

"You mean Taiwan?" Zheng Zhilong is a smart person, and he knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the string song, and immediately said such a sentence.

"Daddy, that's what the kid thinks. In the past, my father immigrated to develop Taiwan, but Taiwan is not yet under the control of the imperial court, if there is a foundation in Taiwan, if something happens in the future, there is still a place where the family can be temporarily preserved. I don't know what Daddy thinks. Zheng Sen hurriedly pitched his idea.

"What you said is not completely unreasonable, if you have spare money in the future, you can consider building a city in Taiwan." Zheng Zhilong said.

Zheng Sen knew that his father didn't really take this matter too seriously. Because Zheng Zhilong is not a traverser after all, he doesn't understand that the collapse of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner, and the chaotic times of the heroes are about to be, no, it should be said that it has already begun. It's just that these things are not easy to say directly, so Zheng Sen thought about it and planned to find some other reasons.

"I said that you two will talk about this at the dinner table, and let the family not eat well." Zhuang deliberately interrupted, "Master, I heard people say that the concubine has always used people as animals. The concubine didn't believe it very much, but now I know that the lord not only uses adults as animals, but even children like Ah Sen have to be used as animals by the master. Ah Sen has not been at home, it is easy to come back, and he has not rested for two days, and tomorrow Ah Sen will go back to study, and the master will not let the family rest today, and now the meal will not let the house be empty. ”

"You have a point." Zheng Zhilong also smiled, "This period of time is indeed too tiring for Asen." However, there is no way for those who can work harder. Asen's mother isn't here, and I'm a rough person, so it's good if you remind me from time to time. ”

……

Early the next morning, Zheng Sen got on the boat, took Hai Dafu, and embarked on the road back to the Hong clan to study.
