When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he was a little stupid. He suddenly found that in terms of playing conspiracy and trickery, it seems that his stepfather Li Kuiqi, and now Li Zhiqi is indeed much worse than Zheng Zhilong.

So, he saw Zheng Zhilong in the back office again, called his confidants, and ordered them to quietly monitor the entire sailor, focusing on those people who came ashore and secretly followed what and so on.

At about this time, the governor of Fuzhou, Liu Guoneng hurriedly took a few secretaries to meet Sun Chuanting in the back hall. Of course, Ma San naturally followed. As soon as he saw Sun Chuanting, although there was still no expression on his face, Liu Guoneng happily said: "Lord Zhongcheng, the tax statistics for half a year have come out, and a total of 876,356 taels of tax silver have been collected. ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked the two clerks to step forward, presented the account book, and said, "Here is the account details, please look at it!" ”

For him, he received as much as 870,000 taels of silver in half a year, which is simply unthinkable, compared to the previous time when the sea was opened, it was only 20,000 taels of silver a year, I really don't know how many times it has risen!

Sun Chuanting listened, nodded slightly, for his henchman, he finally showed a smile, and with a finger of his hand, he asked those clerks to put the accounts aside.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the last general estimates that the second half of the year will definitely be more than this number, and it is estimated that the total tax silver for a year will probably reach about two million taels!" Liu Guoneng said happily, and then said with a little regret, "If it weren't for the fact that the sea is not peaceful now, pirates are rampant, and smuggling is rampant, otherwise, the end will feel that it is possible to double it again!" ”

Speaking of this, he clenched his fists with both hands and congratulated Sun Chuanting and said: "With so much tax silver, the emperor must be very happy, and the last general wishes Lord Zhongcheng an early ascension!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting shook his head and said lightly: "It's far away, the basic line of the emperor's request for the official to collect taxes is 10 million taels, and now it's only 2 million taels, which is a long way off!" ”

When Liu Guoneng heard this, his mouth suddenly opened wide in surprise. The astronomical figure of 10 million taels directly scared him.

After a while, he came back to his senses and saw Sun Chuanting flipping through those account books, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Zhongcheng, isn't the figure of 10 million taels a bit exaggerated?" Even if the sailor exterminated all the pirates and the four seas were peaceful, it wouldn't be possible, right? What's more, there are so many pirates now, with the combat power of the sailors, if you want to achieve peace in the four seas, at least in the short term, it is impossible, right? ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting put down the account, looked up at him, and said very confidently: "Don't underestimate that Zheng Zhilong." Since he can emerge from the many pirates and become the largest maritime force, he also has the back of the imperial court, the support of his own officials, and the attention of the emperor, even if other pirates are rampant for a while, they will definitely not be his opponents! ”

For this, Sun Chuanting believes in his eyes and will never look at the wrong person! Zheng Zhilong is definitely capable, in terms of skill and strategy, he is the best among pirates. Their pirates fight wars, just like land battles, the truth is similar, as long as they are good at finding fighters, they can win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak. Now that he has become famous in the battle back then, he was only a mere 300 servants, but he was able to defeat tens of thousands of thieves in one fell swoop!

Liu Guoneng listened to his words, and after a long time in Fujian, he knew a little more about the forces on the sea, and after he came back to his senses, he asked a little puzzled: "What if you add those Xiyi?" They are fast and far away, and General Zheng will face them, but there is no cheap to get, right? ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly cracked, revealing a trace of disdain, obviously a little disdainful, so he listened to him analyze Liu Guoneng: "Those Xiyi, their hometown is 108,000 miles away, and the people who come to my Ming Dynasty are rootless trees, duckweed on the water. Even if it's great, what can it do? Zheng Zhilong's sailor is backed by the imperial court, has the support of his own officials, and has the attention of the emperor, how can he care about a division of labor expeditions? ”

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "The strength of those Xiyi can only bully and bully those small countries of Fanbang, otherwise once they provoke the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will be furious, these Xiyi seem to be powerful, do you believe that they can be wiped out immediately?" ”

Seeing that Liu Guoneng's mouth opened wide when he heard it, he seemed to be very surprised by this statement, and there was some suspicion on his face. Sun Chuanting couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, for his henchman, he had to teach again: "Remember, in war, it is always people who fight, and whether the weapon is advanced or not is not the decisive factor. Otherwise, in all dynasties and dynasties, how could there be any local rebellion and overthrow of the government. In addition to this, there are many examples of this in our history books. Usually, you should also go literate and read more books! ”

Although Liu Guoneng didn't know how many such examples there were in the history books, he believed Sun Chuanting, and since Lord Zhongcheng said so, he nodded convincingly: "The last general understands!" ”

If Emperor Chongzhen is here, or he will add a sentence to Sun Chuanting's words, that is, whether the weapon is advanced or not, and when it reaches an overwhelming technological superiority, it is the weapon that determines the victory. But the human side is also a very important factor. As far as Sun Chuanting pointed out, the current gap between Xiyi and Daming Shui Shi is indeed not so bad that it has an overwhelming technical advantage, so I have to say that the final result of the war between the two sides really depends on people.

For this point, in the original history, only with the support of the Fujian local government, Zheng Zhilong won the naval battle of Liaoluo Bay, and Zheng Zhilong won the combined forces of the Netherlands and Liu Xiang, thus establishing his position as the supremacy of the sea, which is a clear proof.

Just when the conversation between the two of them came to an end, Sun Chuanting suddenly received a prompt from the system, and hurriedly entered the chat group, and it was Emperor Chongzhen who sent him a decree: "Xiyi missionary John Tang is secretly preaching in Fujian, and he is scheduled to meet on an island near Fujian early tomorrow morning. Sun Qing sent someone to serve them in a pot. John Tang was escorted to Beijing, and the other fools were exiled and naturalized. ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned when he heard this. He immediately understood that there must be a factory guard operating under his rule, and he discovered this matter first. He hurriedly replied, "Yes!" ”

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The people from Dongchang are waiting outside the governor's yamen, and he will lead your people there." ”

It turned out that after Wang Chengen confirmed the news, it was not good to expose his affairs in Taipinggang, and if he directly sent a servant to mobilize the sailors, he would not have this power, and he would lose the face of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian, so he directly reported to Emperor Chongzhen, who could not only repay the merits, but also throw the finishing work to Sun Chuanting, so he did it.

At present, Wang Chengen's focus has shifted to another matter.
