"Zicheng, what do you think of the Lin couple?" On the way back, Li Yan asked Zhang Youdao.

Zhang Yunxiu also added: "You don't really suspect that kid is that Lin Afeng, right?" ”

"I'm not sure for the time being, but I don't think these two people are like mortals, in addition, when you mentioned Yin Lao, I noticed a slight change in the faces of the two, if I remember correctly, Lin Afeng wanted to make peace with our Daming back then, but Yin Zhengmao refused, so he took the people to Luzon."

"But isn't that Lin Afeng already missing? If it's really him, what are you doing in Chongming? It can't be for you, is it? Zhang Yunxiu asked with some concern.

Zhang You smiled and glanced at him: "When he was jointly encircled and suppressed by Spain and the Ming Dynasty, I was still suffering in Pinggu, and I didn't recruit him or provoke him, why should I be dealt with?" Maybe it's really as they say, it's just to see the excitement, after all, it's normal to have a sense of ship sensitivity for many years. ”

"Why do you already think that this Ah Feng is Bi Ah Feng?" Shen Wan'er said with a smile.

Zhang You shook his head: "I don't know for the time being, but even if it's not, I think these two people are worth befriending." Of course, I wish he was. We have an industry in Luzon, but unfortunately now Luzon is occupied by Spain, you have also seen those foreigners, arrogant and rude, if you want to snatch Luzon back from them, Lin Afeng, who once reigned in Luzon, will definitely be able to provide great help. ”

Sure enough, as Zhang Yunxiu said, as soon as he saw Yin Zhengmao, he began to count Zhang You with his old qualifications, what a great joy, what shouldn't he get the Siyi Pavilion, this and that, anyway, it was foaming at the mouth, and he didn't take into account Zhang You's feelings at all.

"The juniors have been taught, by the way, Elder Yin, the juniors have something unclear, and I want to ask you to teach the juniors." Zhang You was not in a hurry, found a gap, and said respectfully.

Zhang Yunxiu secretly admired beside him, and said in his heart that the fifth brother still has a stable heart, no wonder his father is rare him.

Yin Zhengmao was very satisfied with Zhang You's attitude, and glanced at Zhang Yunxiu: "Sixth, you have to learn more from your fifth brother, less to be calm and old to be crazy, as the old saying goes...... What's the matter, Zicheng, let's talk about it. ”

Uh, Zhang Yunxiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is really a person sitting at home, and the goods are coming from the sky.

"That's the case, the younger generation remembers that there was a bandit leader named Lin Afeng in the Fujian and Guangzhou area, and the power was not small, and there was no less trouble, and then he was defeated in Guangzhou, and was attacked by Hu Shouren and Hu Dashuai, and suffered heavy losses. Why? ”

"Why did you remember to ask this question?" Yin Zhengmao was obviously stunned for a moment.

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a Spanish envoy to the Philippines, and the younger generation can't help but think of Lin Afeng, who once reigned in Luzon...... The younger generation felt that if our Ming Dynasty did not join forces with Spain to attack Lin Afeng and let him gain a firm foothold in Luzon, how could he be a compatriot, it would be better than Luzon being occupied by Spain now. ”

"This ...... In fact, now the old man also regrets a little, back then he felt that Luzon was just a wild place, and the court agreed that even if those Western barbarians were allowed to occupy it, it would not be cheap Lin Afeng, now that I think about it, I just wanted to save face, but I lost all the inside. Now the impact of the lifting of the sea embargo has finally been revealed, foreign trade is frequent, and all ships have to pass through Luzon, which has become the largest transit point on the Sino-Western sea route, with countless ships coming and going every day, which can be described as a rolling source of money, but the result is cheaper than that of Spain. ”

Zhang You heard and understood, to put it bluntly, it was still a matter of face, just like the words said by the old empress of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, "measure the material resources of China, and form a happy heart with the country", even if it is better than foreigners, it cannot be cheaper than the Chinese who are against themselves - in fact, this sentence is a sentence in the edict issued by Cixi when he declared war on the foreign powers and surrendered to the foreign powers in defeat, which means that the Manchu Qing has compromised with the foreign powers, but at that time the Boxer Rebellion was very troublesome, but she did not think about the Zhao'an union, otherwise the whole people would be united, It may not be that she has the strength to fight with the great powers (or that she is a sinner, and besides, I don't actually have any good feelings about the entire Manchu Dynasty, uh, don't spray if you don't like it).

"Then why don't you go to the court, Chen complained badly, and sent troops to snatch it back?" Zhang Yunxiu interjected next to him and asked.

Yin Zhengmao rolled his eyes: "It's light, what about the warship?" The sea is not as good as the land, our Ming Dynasty has forbidden the sea for many years, and the sails are not allowed to enter the sea, and even the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship have been burned, you kid still think that it is the period of Chengzu, and our Ming fleet is invincible in the world? The old man of the Spanish warship has seen, called the 'Galion' ship, a thousand-ton warship, well, 'ton' is their unit of measurement, equivalent to our two million catties, nearly 20 zhang long, can carry more than 800 soldiers, carry more than 40 large and small artillery, and the longest range can reach four miles. What about our Daming? Uh, yes, your fifth brother has secretly built a sailor base, but it's been less than a year since it was full, right? How to compare with the level that others have developed for decades? Even if he really sent troops, wouldn't he be asking for shame? ”

It is worthy of Zhang Juzheng's military talent, this Yin Zhengmao is not young, but he is not a person who eats the ancients, he actually knows very well about the Spanish warships, and he also understands his own shortcomings, and he is by no means comparable to those pedantic courtiers who are full of thoughts about the Heavenly Empire.

Those who have this enlightenment and insight, except for a few generals such as Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong, Zhang You has really not seen much.

Therefore, he said sincerely: "Old Yin is worthy of being a veteran, knowing himself and knowing his opponent, even if he has great achievements, he is not blindly confident, he is really a model for my generation, and the younger generation admires him." Saying that he didn't give Yin Zhengmao a chance to be proud, the conversation changed: "However, if the younger generation provides Yin Lao with a better warship than their Spain, will Yin Lao dare to send troops to fight?" ”

"Dare, why don't you dare? I'm afraid that you kid will brag about it...... is also ashamed to name it 'Zhenhai', do you know why the old man has been dragging it out? It's because of the power of other people's warships, I don't want to come over and be embarrassed. Yin Zhengmao said unceremoniously, not estimating Zhang You's face at all, because in his opinion, this so-called trial ceremony is simply a farce: "That is, the two mothers have come over, otherwise, the old man really won't come." ”

"Uh, well, did you hear that, sir?" It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it', do you dare to make a bet with the juniors? ”

"Bet on what?"

"Just bet on the power of the Zhenhai, the younger generation dares to guarantee that after the old man has seen the Zhenhai, Zhun Bao will no longer have the kind of words that will destroy his own ambition with the prestige of others." Zhang You said with a smile.

Yin Zhengmao snorted coldly: "Bet, gamble, if you lose, from now on, you will not be allowed to have such a great feat......"

"What if you lose?" Zhang You asked.

"What if I lose?" Yin Zhengmao sneered: "But by order!" ”
