Chapter 868 Who doesn't know that Lao Tzu is the number one in the world?

（0868）

[Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

Zheng Zhilong's messenger,.

Dressed as a man, she does look like a jade tree in the wind, graceful, like a handsome son, who has attracted the attention of countless people. If you don't look closely at her Adam's apple, at first glance, you really can't tell the difference between men and women. If you want to say that the last time Zhang Zhun saw her, he saw the gentle and graceful side, then today, what he saw was Bian Yujing's tough and neat side.

When Bian Yujing saw Zhang Zhun, he saluted in a similar manner, and said with a smile in a proper manner: "The little girl Bian Yujing has seen Lord Dudu. ”

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Are you here on behalf of Zheng Zhilong?" ”

The last time Bian Yujing was rescued in Beizhili, he was sent to Zhuozhou. When Zhang Zhun left Zhuozhou, she had been living there. Later, it was reported that she didn't know where she went, and Zhang Zhun didn't care much. He has too many things to do, and a woman who has nothing to do with him, of course he won't care.

Unexpectedly, this Bian Yujing turned out to be a lobbyist for Zheng Zhilong. This woman is really strange, she was born in a Qinglou, but she looks like a courtesan. Last time, because of entering Beijing, I was almost caught by the Tartars, and this time I ran all the way from Fujian to Liaodong, and I can really toss more than men! Fortunately, she is a woman, if she is a man, I am afraid that she will have to fly around the country. A strong woman of the times!

Bian Yujing seemed to see Zhang Zhun's thoughts, his expression remained unchanged, and he said eloquently: "Why is Lord Governor so surprised? The little woman is just taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others. Other than that, there was no contact with anyone from their Zheng family anymore. ”

Zhang Zhun looked at her with shining eyes, and said meaningfully: "It is very dangerous for a woman in the rivers and lakes to walk a tightrope, Miss Bian should be careful." If you are not careful, you will be crushed and your bones will be broken, or even if there are no bones left, it will not be good. ”

Bian Yujing bowed slightly, his dark eyes rolled quietly, and said with sincerity: "If Lord Lao Dudu is concerned, the little girl will definitely pay attention." It's just that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, even if the little woman doesn't want to do it, someone will force the little woman to do it. Please understand this. ”

Zhang Zhun subconsciously shook his head and didn't say anything more. Regarding Bian Yujing's vague complaints, he is not particularly concerned. He could vaguely guess that this Bian Yujing's background must not be simple, and the relationship with the Zheng family may also be quite complicated. If she didn't guess wrong, she probably pulled Zheng Zhilong's name as a banner.

Probably, this is the reason why she wants to be a lobbyist for Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong is also an old fox, a typical guy who can't afford to be unprofitable. If you don't give him a little benefit, if you want to pull his banner, I'm afraid it won't be easy. The cooperation between her and Zheng Zhilong should be to take what they need and exchange interests.

Such an exchange of interests is actually quite simple. For example, in the Tiger Ben Army controlling the ground, if a woman encounters danger and suddenly screams, don't move me, I am Zhang Zhun's woman, and I am guaranteed to scare the other party into impotence. As a Qinglou woman, using such a method to protect herself is probably a good way.

"What does Zheng Zhilong want you to tell me?"

Brigadier General Zhang cleared all the superfluous thoughts in his mind and asked in a deep voice.

There are too many grievances and grievances, too much blood and tears, and too many interests that need to be redistributed, which is definitely not something that can be said clearly in a few words, let alone something that can be solved by everyone sitting down and chatting with a cup of tea. In the end, the two sides still have to fight and settle the matter by force.

Therefore, before the final contest of force, all contacts can be counted as part of the conspiracy. At this stage, Zheng Zhilong still has the upper hand completely, and the envoy he took the initiative to send will certainly not have anything good.

"Join forces against the Dutch."

Bian Yujing replied seriously.

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "The Dutch and I don't have a line at all!" ”

Bian Yujing said with a smile: "The prince said, you will definitely ask so." But, he asked me to tell you, he already knows, that there are several Englishmen in your hands. The Dutch don't know yet. However, if the Governor is not sincere, perhaps the Dutch will know. When the time comes, the Netherlands will go north, and I believe that the Governor will have a headache, right? ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Is the prince threatening me?" ”

Bian Yujing hurriedly said, "Of course not. ”

Zhang Zhun smiled coldly and was silent.

This Zheng Zhilong is really good, a lot of confidential information has been found by him. Saiviala's matter was originally quite confidential, but unexpectedly, Zheng Zhilong still knew. Also, after all, others are the kings of the sea, and their family background or something is much stronger than themselves. If you really have the heart to deal with yourself, you will naturally install a lot of fine work in Shandong, and it is not easy to completely hide the matter of Saiviala from them.

Just because he has a nickname called "King of the Sea", Zheng Zhilong accepted the title of "Prince" of his subordinates in a grand manner, and even Bian Yujing called him "Prince" when he went out, it seems that this Zheng Zhilong is also arrogant enough. No wonder the imperial court is so nerve-wracking to him. Speaking of which, I haven't even called myself a prince yet.

Zhang Zhun's mind has been running at high speed. Regarding the Dutch's northward journey, Zhang Zhun didn't care very much. No matter from which point of view, the Dutch must first cross Zheng Zhilong's territory when they go north. Zhang Zhun didn't believe that Zheng Zhilong could watch the Dutch fleet go north. In case the Dutch also come to take advantage of the situation, Zheng Zhilong will not even have a place to cry. Therefore, Zhang Zhun did not pay attention to Zheng Zhilong's threat at all. If Zheng Zhilong was really that stupid, the Zheng family fleet would have been finished long ago.

Seeing that Zhang Zhun didn't move, and didn't even have a basic reaction, Bian Yujing had no choice but to say softly: "What the prince means is to give Lord Du Du two choices. One is to directly confront the Dutch, and the other is to cooperate financially. At present, the prince needs some funds. If the Governor is not willing to confront the Dutch head-on, he may as well cooperate with the prince in terms of funds. ”

Grass!

Zhang Zhun cursed secretly.

Zheng Zhilong wanted to blackmail himself.

Anything against the Dutch is an excuse, and it is true that you want to weaken the strength of the Tiger Army. However, Zheng Zhilong, have you thought about it? Lao Tzu is known as the first in the world, and you want to take out the money from Lao Tzu's hands, unless the sun comes out of the west.

"I'm willing to go head-to-head with the Dutch Navy."

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.

"You'd rather go head-to-head?"

Bian Yujing looked slightly surprised.

"Of course! The eldest husband's horse leather shroud, blood spilled on the field, and his life was ruined, at all costs! If the Dutch dare to come, I dare to play against them! I don't have any money, but I have a life! I gave up my life to accompany the gentleman and did it with the Dutch! ”

Zhang Zhun said in a sonorous voice and with righteousness.

He had long been optimistic about it, because of Zheng Zhilong's obstruction, the Dutch fleet had some sporadic forces in the area north of Taiwan, that is, in the Ryukyu Islands. It is estimated that it is twenty or thirty large warships. Since Zheng Zhilong wants to deal with the Dutch himself, it is even better. I just managed to find a way to take down the Ryukyu Islands.

The location of this place in the Ryukyu Islands is strange and important. It just lies in the middle of *** and the island of Taiwan, if the Tiger Ben Navy inserts a foot here, it will definitely affect Zheng Zhilong's control of the *** market. The Dutch are digging a nail here, and the purpose is also to hinder the communication between Zheng Zhilong and ***.

In this world, there are no stupid people, and what the Dutch can discover, the Tiger Army can also discover. Similarly, what Zheng Zhilong wants to do, Zhang Zhun can basically predict. Zheng Zhilong's mind was probably to borrow Zhang Zhun's hand, but he angered the Dutch and gave him a little pressure. It would be even better if he could borrow Zhang Zhun's hand and take back the Ryukyu Islands.

According to intelligence, the largest seaport in the Ryukyu Islands, Naha, is currently in the hands of the Dutch. Because of the presence of Dutch warships in Naha, when the Zheng family's fleet traveled back and forth, a large number of warships were needed to escort it. No matter how many warships there are in the Zheng family's fleet, once they need to be put into the escort, there are not many that can be freed up to deal with Zhang Zhun.

Such a good place, of course, Zhang Zhun also wants to get involved. Controlling Naha is equivalent to holding Zheng Zhilong's throat, and when he is unhappy, he can pinch it hard to make Zheng Zhilong breathless. After pinching a few more times, Zheng Zhilong had tracheitis. Of course, the premise is that you have enough strength. Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong struggled casually and threw himself aside, and it would be over.

Does the Tiger Army Navy currently have such capabilities? Of course not. The Tiger Ben Navy hasn't even done it yet, where is the ability to deal with the Ryukyu Islands? However, if Zheng Zhilong had permission, Zhang Zhun wouldn't mind sending a fleet to Naha to have a look, even if it was to reconnoiter the terrain and familiarize himself with the situation. Anyway, it's going to start sooner or later, so it's better to prepare early.

As for carrying out such a large strategic operation, whether the Tiger Ben Army and Navy will be held to death, there is no way to do it. Being by Zheng Zhilong like this, the Tiger Ben Army and Navy have to be much more passive in doing things. Time, time, what Zhang Zhun needs most now is time. In a race against time, he can trade with the Tartars. In order to race against time, of course, he can also have a false relationship with Zheng Zhilong. He's getting more and more used to dirty *** deals.

"If the Governor is willing to face the Dutch, he might as well go to the Ryukyu Islands. The port of Naha in the Ryukyu Islands has gathered a large number of Dutch warships, which seriously threatens the trade between the prince and ***, and I hope that the governor can share one or two for the prince. ”

Sure enough, Bian Yujing said eloquently.

"Good!"

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.

Bian Yujing smiled slightly and stopped talking.

Instead, Zhang Zhun glanced at Bian Yujing, nodded thoughtfully, and then said casually: "I heard that Zheng Zhilong and Huang Taiji have secret dealings?" ”

Bian Yujing smiled and said, "To be precise, it is Huang Taiji who wants to communicate with us. His official envoy should still be on the way, and we haven't seen anyone yet. If the Governor is interested, we can send his messenger to the Governor. ”、

Zhang Zhun smiled disapprovingly, and said lightly: "If I want to dispose of it, I can dispose of it when I am in Jinzhou." ”

Bian Yujing smiled softly and did not speak.

Zhang Zhun nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

Zheng Zhilong and Huang Taiji are really not married yet, and they are getting divorced. Zheng Zhilong didn't seem to have the sincerity to negotiate with Huang Taiji at all, and he still wanted to sell Huang Taiji behind his back. Think about it, the two are far away, if they really get married, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. It's better to take this opportunity to get married and give yourself a little benefit first.

Originally, this marriage was not good for Zheng Zhilong. He could get a lot of timber from Nanyang, and he didn't need to cut wood from Liaodong at all. In addition to wood, what else can Huang Taiji provide to Zheng Zhilong? Nothing. It can be seen that such a marriage is just wishful thinking on the part of Huang Taiji. This reflects that Huang Taiji is indeed desperate and there is no better way.

After a moment of silence, Bian Yujing Shi Ran stood up and said with a smile: "Lord Dudu, since the business is done, the little girl will leave." ”

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Goodbye!" ”

He personally sent Bian Yujing outside the door, and then turned back slowly.

Wang Shide said a little worriedly: "My lord, why do I feel that the atmosphere is a little wrong?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded solemnly, and said slowly: "It's not a little wrong, it's very wrong, Zheng Zhilong may be planning a big military operation." ”

Wang Shide hurriedly asked: "Bian Yujing, is this a cover-up?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, paced back and forth in the hall, and said in a low tone: "That's right, this is the ** soup that Zheng Zhilong gave me." It is estimated that Zheng Zhilong already knew about Zheng Chenggong's secret transfer of troops. However, he didn't stop it, obviously preparing to let Zheng Chenggong do a big job and kill us. ”

"This old fellow, pretending not to know anything, sent someone to me and tried to lower my guard. If we just stare at him and ignore Zheng Chenggong, we will definitely suffer a big loss. Jiang is still old and spicy, and you can casually play a trick of cultivating the plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang! This old boy! Cunning! ”

Wang Shide breathed a sigh of relief, and then said a little worriedly: "So, Zheng Chenggong's fleet should move soon?" ”

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It is estimated that Zheng Chenggong may not be able to move for a while, otherwise, Zheng Zhilong has no need to play this trick, and directly let Zheng Chenggong go north at a gallop, and he can catch us off guard." ”

Wang Shide said: "Then what are we going to do? ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "What else can I do?" Of course, it's an all-arms war! It was ordered that all the personnel and warships of the navy should be on standby. Patrol sentinel ships should go at least 100 miles ahead to keep an eye out for enemy movements. He ordered the Maoyan Division and the Intelligence Department to continue to increase their penetration in Fujian and other places, so as to get in touch with the core figures of the Zheng family's fleet as much as possible. ”

Wang Shide hesitated and said, "That...... Timber ...... of Tartar"

Zhang Zhun said awe-inspiringly: "Reach an agreement with the Tartars as soon as possible, and ask them to put down the timber from the Yalu River, and we will give them as much grain as we receive." But don't let the Tartars see that we are in dire need of wood. ”

Wang Shide agreed.

"Zheng Chenggong, this kid!"

Zhang Zhun suddenly smiled softly.

For Zheng Chenggong's ability to move, Zhang Zhun still has some appreciation. This guy is said to be only fifteen years old, and he is already so able to toss, and when he grows up, he is really amazing. However, as his own enemy, Zhang Zhun was not so appreciative. With Zheng Chenggong's personality as a kid, if the Tiger Ben Army is defeated, he will definitely kill them all.

At this time, Zhang Zhun felt that the pressure on his shoulders was really great. There is no way, the Zheng family's fleet has a big cause, and if you take out thirty percent, you can beat the Tiger Ben Navy enough. At present, there are only about fifty large warships in the Tiger Ben Navy, which is not even a fraction compared to the thousands of ships in the Zheng family's fleet!

In naval warfare, strength is the first priority. Continuous naval battles will inevitably result in the loss of a large number of men and warships, and at this time, whoever has more warships and sailors will have the greatest chance of having the last laugh, unless a miracle happens. However, Zhang Zhun never expected a miracle to happen to him.

Zheng Chenggong, this kid is stunned again, and the fleet he brought must also be the type of blood and strength. It is conceivable that this battle will definitely be more difficult than the last time against Yang Tiansheng. For Zheng Chenggong, a little guy who is only fifteen years old, Zhang Zhun really doesn't dare to have the slightest contempt, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

The people who come out to mix in the future are not those who are famous, but some thirteen or fourteen-year-old gangsters, which is not unreasonable. People of this age don't care about the existence of the law at all, and the law just happens to have loopholes for them to exploit, even if they kill someone, they don't need to be sentenced to death. If it is planted in the hands of such a little guy, it is really depressing.

Because on the Tartar side, they do need food and cotton clothes for the winter, and on the side of the Tiger Army, they do need a lot of wood. As a result, it took only one day for the two sides to quickly reach an exchange agreement. Immediately, both parties quickly fulfilled the relevant agreements.

The battle between the two sides is still ongoing, and on the front line, the two armies are still in a tense confrontation. However, on the water surface of the Yalu River, there is already a lot of timber floating down. These timbers are all cut down from Changbai Mountain, and after simple treatment, they are directly lowered down the river and come to the location of the sea.

"Inspected."

"Inspected."

"Inspected."

Around Zhang Zhun, there are constantly people who come to such conclusions.

They are all acceptance masters sent by Xue Zhidie, who are specially responsible for inspecting the quality of wood, especially the keel materials of large warships.
