Chapter 351: Zheng Zhihu is captured
From the moment when the first batch of Praetorian Navy soldiers rushed to Zheng Zhihu's flagship, Zheng Zhihu's complete defeat was announced. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the Janissaries came up, they began to shoot these recalcitrant pirates, and within half an hour, they controlled all the gun emplacements of Zheng Zhihu's flagship.
Zheng Zhihu was also captured before attempting to escape in a small boat, and was escorted to Zheng He by a small ship of the Praetorian Navy before his flagship sank completely to the bottom of the sea.
With a squeak, with the loss of the last trace of balance, Zheng Zhihu's flagship was directly turned upside down into the water, which was the first large warship to be sunk by the Zheng pirates since the sea, and it was also the flagship of the Zheng family's master.
Zheng Zhihu was tied up by the five flowers, and he struggled a few times with a disgruntled face, trying to get rid of being carried like a monkey by the two Praetorian Guard soldiers.
"Be honest!" As soon as Zheng Zhihu struggled, the two Praetorian Guard soldiers each punched him in the waist, which made Zheng Zhihu's kidneys hurt greatly, and the whole person withered all of a sudden, but he still couldn't help but say angrily: "I can't imagine that my Zheng Lao Er actually fell into the hands of you guys with yellow mouths, it's a shame, a shame!" ”
Gu San Mazi was carried over by his subordinates in a chair at this time, although he was accidentally hung up, but he couldn't hide his joy at this time, and looked down at Zheng Zhihu very openly: "Zheng Er, can you recognize who your grandfather and I are?" ”
Zheng Zhihu looked up, but showed a slight hint of surprise, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Gu San Mazi, don't think that if you change your skin, Lao Tzu won't recognize you, you were forced by Lao Tzu to hide in Hangzhou Bay back then, and you haven't drunk the northwest wind all these years." ”
"Thanks to you, your grandfather and I are still living a good life, and now I have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and become a member of the court, and now I am following the decree of His Majesty to capture you as an ungrateful and heinous person who has repeatedly violated the king's law!"
Zheng Zhihu didn't speak, he snorted, now that he was taken, he could only admit it, but he just knelt in front of a little pirate leader that he couldn't look down on every day, which made him really feel wronged.
And Gu San Mazi was quite interested, he was also a powerful pirate in the East China Sea back then, and he also had a lot of contacts with coastal local officials from Ningbo Mansion to Songjiang Mansion, and his life was very nourishing, but who knew that after the rise of the Zheng Zhilong Group in Fujian, he was forced to lose a lot of interests, and had to go to Hangzhou Bay to live by robbing ordinary fishing boats, so there was naturally less oil and water, and he was also surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, so that he would often go hungry, otherwise he would not choose to belong to the imperial court.
But now it's different, he Gu San Mazi has become a member of the court from the second grade, and he is justifiably fighting for the Ming Dynasty and the court, and he is majestic wherever he goes, even more majestic than the county master he looked up to back then.
And Zheng Zhihu, who didn't look at himself properly, and even begged for a lot of money to beg to let him go, became his prisoner at this time.
The most proud thing in life is that the former enemy is kneeling in front of him now, Gu San Mazi is like this, if he is not injured now, he would be about to go up and kick a few feet.
"Juanzi, come here!" What Gu San Mazi called was a teenage girl, a little girl that Gu San Mazi rescued from Zheng's pirates when they plundered Zhoushan, as soon as the little girl named Juanzi came over, Gu San Mazi pointed at Zheng Zhihu and said: "Go up and help the third uncle slap him a few times, it was his people who hurt you without a father and mother, he is your enemy!" ”
The little girl named Juanzi nodded, and didn't speak, but she listened to Gu Sanmazi's words very much, and walked up directly, it seems that she can dare to follow Gu Sanmazi into the naval battle, and her courage is really not small, but this little girl named Juanzi didn't slap it, but at some point she actually took out a knife and stabbed it directly on Zheng Zhihu's body: "Kill you, kill you!" ”
"Ahh The little girl didn't have much strength, so she didn't directly stab Zheng Zhihu to death, but this kind of wound that pierced the dermis was very painful, and Zheng Zhihu couldn't help screaming.
"Gu Yishi, let her stop, this Zheng Zhihu can't be killed at the moment, Your Majesty said that if the Zheng family can be captured, they will be escorted into Beijing immediately, and Your Majesty will personally send them down", at this time, Zheng He's commander on the side persuaded.
"It is worthy of being the daughter raised by my Gu San Mazi, and she has a temper with Lao Tzu!"
Gu San Mazi couldn't help laughing, and then called Juanzi back, and said: "Quickly go and inform General Qin that Zheng Zhihu has been captured, this battle is completely won, and we have not been wiped out!" ”
"We weren't wiped out!"
Gu San Mazi suddenly yelled.
Suddenly, after Gu San Mazi shouted this, the officers and soldiers of the other Praetorian Guards also shouted, and the cheers directly resounded throughout the entire sea shrouded in darkness.
Except for Zheng He, the rest of the warships began to fire their cannons spontaneously at the sea, and the soldiers also began to fire firearms freely, as if this was the only way to express the excitement in their hearts.
At dawn the next day, the sky was just slightly bright, and the sky shrouded in dark clouds gradually turned white, and if the sun shone into the clouds, it shrouded the warships of the First Fleet of the Janissaries in the North Sea on the sea level like an inverted triangle of light.
On the still reddish sea level, you can still see many pirate warships that have not completely sunk to the bottom, and even you can see floating corpses, and countless innocent fish that have been killed by the explosion.
A few seabirds flew by, making a terrible call, as if to tell people that a fierce battle had just taken place here.
However, the soldiers of the First Fleet in the North Sea did not have the slightest leisure to appreciate their yesterday's masterpiece, and they now had to continue their journey towards the Ryukyus, and they had to hurry.
No one knows if they capture Zheng Zhihu on their side, whether the Zheng pirates will give up, after all, the Zheng Group still has an absolute advantage in the sea.
Moreover, the First Fleet of the Praetorian Guard in the North Sea has now consumed a lot of ammunition, and there is no way to continue the next fierce battle, so they must speed up, and at the same time send people back to report to Zhu Youxiao, and ask for additional forces to come to support, at least to replenish enough ammunition.
After the Ryukyu Kingdom was defeated by the Japanese military aristocracy Satsuma Domain decades ago, it had to serve the Satsuma Domain as its suzerainty at the same time as the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Youxiao didn't blame them for this now, after all, now the Ming Dynasty also continues to be a maritime trade transit station like Ryukyu, as for the Japanese who tried to deprive the Ming of its maritime hegemony in the western Pacific Ocean, the Ming Dynasty will have to clean up sooner or later, let them know that the Ming is not old!
Although the battle of the First Fleet in the North Sea in the waters near the Ryukyu Kingdom did not let Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in Fujian to negotiate with Fujian Zuobu political envoy Xiong Wencan, know the latest battle situation, but the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Japanese Satsuma Domain, which was stationed in the Zhongshan area of the Ryukyu Kingdom, knew the battle situation in advance, and knew that the strength of the fleet in front of him, which was called an envoy but actually declared the presence of the Ming Dynasty, should not be underestimated.
Therefore, they knew that they would not dare to provoke the fleet of the envoys easily, and even the Satsuma clan did not have the slightest provocation because of the too grand welcome of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and even if they were dissatisfied, they could only exist in their hearts.
The Royal Weaving Bureau also successfully established the Ryukyu Branch of the Royal Weaving Bureau in Shurijo, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and officially began the first step of the Royal Weaving Bureau to expand overseas trade.
Sheng Jingting, the owner of the Yuyao Royal Weaving Workshop of the Jiangnan Branch, who came to the Ryukyus with Wei Ming, the chief helmsman of the Jiangnan Branch, was appointed as the chief helmsman of the Ryukyu Branch of the Royal Weaving Bureau, and he sought to establish the workshops of the Royal Weaving Bureau in various cities of the Ryukyus and even other surrounding areas in the past year.
The reason why Sheng Jingting came was because Sheng Jingting himself grew up in the Nanyang area and knew various Chinese languages.
Historically, Britain established the East India Company in the form of opium to colonize the world and thus established his empire, and now the Ming Dynasty is starting his imperial conquest journey with silk and other handicrafts, of course, opium is also available.
Zhu Youxiao has issued a decree to the Royal Weaving Bureau, which can allow the Royal Weaving Bureau to sell opium, but only to Europa, for no other reason, since the so-called powers such as Europa in another time and space opened their own countries in the form of opium, then they also opened the door of his Middle Ages in the same way.
Zhu Youxiao hopes that some of the so-called intellectuals of Europa will also be able to thank their Ming for using opium to numb them and corrode their genetic level, and at the same time bring them changes, although it is a change based on shame, but they are really proud of it.
As soon as a small number of goods from the Royal Weaving Bureau and its affiliated Royal Industries Company entered the market of the Ryukyu Kingdom, it immediately caused a great response, and these princes and nobles of the Ryukyu Kingdom were as frantically buying these fine silks and glass works of art as well as so-called soaps and perfumes as the tycoons of Dubai in later generations.
In less than three months, Sheng Jingting brought profits of more than 2 million taels to the Royal Weaving Bureau, including more than 10,000 taels of dividends for his own shares.
Sheng Jingting is going to make some more money, and when the time comes, he will deposit it in the Royal Bank, and then after saving some points, he will buy the Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou, which is the garden he yearns for the most.
……
The red candle was hanging high, Hai Lanzhu held the brush in one hand and wrote on the paper with difficulty, "The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream", and the other hand can't help but wipe the sweat drops on her forehead.
She didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to call her and ask her to help him copy "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution", but Hai Lanzhu knew that she didn't know many Chinese characters at all, let alone write, and it was already a great thing to be able to understand it, and now it was even more difficult to let herself copy and write.
Zhu Youxiao had to hand over the task of copying "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" to Su Luoji, and personally taught Hai Lanzhu to write, but seeing Hai Lanzhu's painful face, he felt very funny.
"Pinch tightly, move your wrists, move your arms, and be light and heavy!" Zhu Youxiao took Hai Lanzhu's hand with great interest, and put his hand on Hai Lanzhu's fragrant buttocks and groped around, the flirtatious Hai Lanzhu's whole body was itchy, and the pain was unbearable, and he couldn't help but plead: "Your Majesty, the slave is incompetent, can you not learn this Chinese character." ”
"No! I have decreed that Yang Tinglin and others, on the basis of respecting your customs and religious beliefs, all the people of Monan Mongolia who have been annexed, regardless of men, women, and children, must learn Chinese characters, so as to achieve the purpose of learning the profound culture of our Ming Dynasty, and let you become a real Ming people! And you, Hai Lanzhu, are now in my deep palace forbidden courtyard, so you should work harder, set a good example for your Mongolian brothers and sisters, study hard, and reward you well if you learn well. ”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but put his hand into the belly pocket of Hai Lanzhu and held a pair of small balls, and couldn't help pinching it, which made this Hai Lanzhu can't help but snort, apricot eyes glared at Zhu Youxiao, and said softly and longly: "Your Majesty, you!" ”
"Write well!" Zhu Youxiao withdrew his hand, but the whole person was almost all attached to Hai Lanzhu's jade back, and Hai Lanzhu had to endure Zhu Youxiao's dishonest actions, gritted his teeth and continued to follow Zhu Youxiao's handwriting of Chinese characters on the paper.
Writing and writing, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but take the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the meaning of these poems, the slave and maid don't understand, and it's not interesting to write, can you change it to something that the slave can understand, and the slave and maid will be more interesting to copy." ”
looked at Hai Lanzhu looking at herself quite seriously, her apricot eyes were blinking, very cute.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile, and personally went to the mallet to get a copy of "The Words of the Golden Bottle of Plum": "Just copy this." ”
"Okay", Hai Lanzhu replied with her first hand, and she felt dipped in ink and copied it: "Ximenqing dragged Yueniang into the room with one hand." In front of the lamp, I saw him wearing a common at-home dress: a big red silk jacket and a soft yellow skirt; With a mink lying rabbit on his head, Jin Manchi Jiao was distracted......"
But who would have thought that copying and copying, this Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but blush, suddenly put down the pen, immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this book, this book can't be copied!" ”
"How can you not copy it, copy it well", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel funny, it seems that this Hai Lanzhu is not unrecognizable, at least the vernacular of this golden bottle can still be understood, while watching Hai Lanzhu is breathing has become heavier, and her earlobes are red and shiny, she can't help but kiss her cheeks, Hai Lanzhu can't help but lower her eyebrows, and call softly: "Your Majesty!" ”
This call immediately hooked Zhu Youxiao's soul, and the whole person was pasted, and this Hai Lanzhu also took the initiative to respond, and it was beautiful and beautiful for a while, and the scenery was infinite.
Unexpectedly, just when you were talking to me, there was a hurried knock on the door outside, which disturbed Zhu Youxiao's great interest, and he simply took off his half-open robe on the ground and kicked the door: "When are you in such a hurry, say it." ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I just got the news that the fleet that sent the Ryukyu Kingdom this time was indeed attacked by the Zheng pirates, and the news has been confirmed, it is led by Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Zhihu himself, this person is the most courageous general among the Zheng pirates, and there are thousands of pirates dispatched this time!"
Wang Chengen's low words dispelled Zhu Youxiao's brain full of sperm worms, and he hurriedly opened the door, Wang Chengen fell directly to the ground unexpectedly, Zhu Youxiao did not help him, but immediately ran to the outline map of the Ming Sea: "Tell me carefully, what is the situation?" ”
