In the affairs of the court, Shen Yue thought that it had nothing to do with him.

He didn't know what kind of storm the suggestion to the Zhang family would cause, and the court was too far away from him.

Young Master Shen, who was on the sea, wanted to vomit now when he smelled the fishy smell of the sea breeze.

"Young Master, when will you return?" Shen Qi, whose face was pale, asked Shen Yue weakly, "It's been a few days since I went to sea, it's time to return......

It has been five days since the establishment of Longshan, and during these five days of sailing, many whales have been encountered, but not a single sea ship has been encountered.

Shen Yue thought that he had taken the wrong channel, and asked Xu Duofu about the fishing capital, but he was not wrong, and he had been relying on both sides of the channel to find the traces of the Francos.

On the sea in July, there are storms and rains at any time, especially last night, the wind was fierce, the waves were several meters high, Shen Yue saw the danger of the sea in this era, the turbulent warship was hit by the huge waves several times and almost capsized, if it were not for Xu Duofu's command, it is estimated that a boatload of people would have to feed the sharks.

Shen Yue vomited and turned upside down, and could only hold on to the pillar in the cabin.

It wasn't until the morning that the rain stopped, and everyone was exhausted, and the two armed men fell into the water and were never to be seen again.

Shen Yue did not see the legendary sun and moon flag of the blue sky, red sun and yellow moon, and was not interested in verifying whether the sun and moon flag was the Ming national flag.

During the voyage, he watched the sea every day, and the sunrise and sunset scenery that once excited him made him vomit.

If you can't find Franco, the follow-up plan can't be implemented, and almost all of the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty is controlled by the Zheng family, either follow Zheng Zhilong, the pirate leader, or pay him protection money to do it yourself, otherwise it will be discovered by the Zheng fleet and plundered.

Xu Duofu and the others received an order to obey Shen Yue's command before setting sail, and they didn't see the return voyage for five days, so they were naturally a little unhappy.

"It's only been a few days?" Shen Yue himself also wants to go back, and only when he stands on land will he feel steady.

"The patrol of the warships of Longshan has never been more than three or five days......" Shen Qi regretted a little, why did he have to follow the young master out, the storm like last night, if you are not careful, your life will be gone.

He didn't want to be the son-in-law of the Dragon King.

"Find the Fran machine and go back!" Shen Yue was categorical.

Shen Qi saw that the young master's eyes were firm, and he knew that he could not persuade him to go back, so he left Shen Yue's cabin with his head drooped.

On the outer deck, Xu Duofu and Yang Shan, the chief banner, were waiting for Shen Qi's news.

"How? Lord Shen is willing to return? Yang Shan asked eagerly.

Shen Qi shook his head, "Young Master has to find Franco." ”

"If you go further, you will reach the waters of Taiwan, and if you walk along the land, you will meet Zheng Zhilong's men and the red-haired ghost warship; If you go around to the east, it may be even bigger to encounter the red-haired ghost warship, and it may be far away from the waterway......" Xu Duofu's brows twisted into a Sichuan character.

Xu Duofu grew up on the boat since he was a child, and he used to run a lot of places, but when his father was old, he returned to the guard to attack the old man's position.

In his early forties, he is one of the four senior hunters of Longshan Institute. The situation in the surrounding waters, but also understand, has reached the Fujian coastal defense area.

"Zheng Zhilong accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and he is a colleague with us, could it be that he dared to rob us? It's a warship! "Shen Qi doesn't know about the bandits, and he doesn't know how powerful the red-haired ghost warship is, but he has heard of Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong has already attached himself to the imperial court, grabbed the warship, and undoubtedly rebelled.

"Shen Qi, you don't know the situation at sea, in the first year of Chongzhen, when Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the imperial court, he already had more than 30,000 subordinates and more than 1,000 large and small warships, and Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, could not be mobilized...... Now that he has an official body, he can brazenly build warships and expand his troops...... In the sea area he guarded, the ships that passed, each big ship had to pay 3,000 taels for the sea fee in exchange for the Zheng Clan's Command Flag, and if there was no Zheng Clan's Command Flag, they couldn't go to ......" Xu Duofu sighed.

"We're a warship! The warship of the imperial court! Shen Qi emphasized.

"Zheng's subordinates only recognize Zheng Zhilong's order flag, what is the imperial court warship!" Xu Duofu pouted and said.

Zheng Zhilong was recruited, but he was not dispatched by the imperial court, but he no longer went ashore to plunder the coastal land as before.

Shen Qi hurriedly reported the matter to Shen Yue.

When Shen Yue heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Zheng Zhilong is not a good product. took refuge in Daming, because he did not have a stable rear, and he also fell out with the Dutch red-haired ghost, and the pressure of his sworn brother Liu Xiang and other bandits made him almost unbearable.

"My lord, we belong to Guanhaiwei Town, we have already crossed the line, they can use the pretext of pirates to sink or detain them......" Yang Shan persuaded Shen Yue.

"We're on orders to search for traces of red-haired ghosts!" Shen Yue didn't care about the issue of crossing the line at all, "Isn't this side still outside the sea of Wenzhou, Zheng Zhilong from Fujian can't care about ......it?"

"That's right, my lord, it's sea! Wenzhou Mansion has Pan Shiwei, Jin Xiangwei, etc., have we seen their sailors patrolling warships these days? When we encounter the Zheng patrol ship, we will either pay three thousand taels of silver to pass, or we will be detained by them. The Zheng family did not refuse to come to the four hundred warships, and most of the naval warships such as Jin Xiangwei entered the Zheng family's pocket, and now the strength is unknown to outsiders...... Xu Duofu said with a bitter face.

Shen Yue's scalp was numb.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong is not a good thing, by taking refuge in the imperial court, he instead digs the corner of the Ming Dynasty to strengthen his strength!

This is similar to what Shen Yue did.

Let Shen Yue pay Zheng Zhilong a protection fee? And it's three thousand taels of silver!

Shen Yue felt that this was a bit embarrassing for the traverser's face, or, to be exact, he didn't want to make friends. The silver on the ship was only a thousand taels, which were used to replenish food along the way.

"Then bypass the Zheng's sea area, sail east, and sail south along the east side ......of Taiwan Island," Shen Yue said, "Avoid the red-haired ghost warship, and find that it is ...... far away."

"My lord, the food on the ship ......" Xu Duofu didn't want to take any more risks, this sea area was too dangerous, and the Zheng people, if they killed them, no one would know.

They are not maritime merchants, so they don't need to be so offended, go out to sea to patrol, if they encounter red-haired ghosts or sea bandits, a warship, there is no doubt that they will fall into the mouth of the tiger. Not an opponent at all.

"If there is not enough food, it can be supplied from the island of Taiwan! We just came out and went back without any gain, didn't we come in vain? Shen Yue didn't want to go back like this.

I can't hold on for a few days, and those ships that go to the South Seas and the East Ocean will take months or more to go, so why do people insist?

European ships came, and they were counted in years.

Seeing that Shen Yue was reluctant to return, the other people's faces were ugly, but they were helpless, no matter what they said, Shen Yue was unmoved.

The atmosphere became oppressive.

But in front of it is the sea area controlled by Zheng Zhilong! Red-haired ghosts also appear from time to time, which is too dangerous.

When the atmosphere was solidifying, the hand on the top of the mast rang the bell hanging on it to warn, "The bandits are coming!"...... ”
