Zheng Zhilong stood up, raised his chin slightly, and a flash of madness flashed in his eyes. shouted: "Our Zheng family started by the sea. A few days ago, the imperial court had already issued an order, asking us to hand over all maritime affairs to that Laozi native fleet? And let me go to Beijing to report on my work! Lao Tzu is gone, can he still come back?! It's not that I, Zheng Zhilong, am sorry for the court, it's the court that wants to force me to death! ”

The people in the room had different looks, and there were people who had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts. The imperial court came to order the Zheng family to hand over everything in their hands, and they had known about this matter for a long time.

In the past few days, Zheng Zhilong has been locking himself in the study and not coming out, and no one can see him except for the Tagawa clan. Everyone is waiting for him to make the final decision! is to hand over everything, and from then on An An will be a rich man. It's better to go to Bo once! Looking at Zheng Zhilong's performance now, he should have chosen to fight.

Gao Yang is persecuting Zheng Zhilong!

He didn't have any good feelings for the pirates under Zheng Zhilong's hands who were covered with blood and couldn't wash their bodies in the sea water for eternity. I don't want to incorporate them into the navy and bring about the emerging naval atmosphere.

showed weakness in front of Zheng Zhilong's intelligence spies, and took the initiative to expose his weaknesses. In the name of the imperial court, he exerted irresistible pressure on Zheng Zhilong and forced him to make the choice of dying. In order to make Zheng Zhilong choose to raid Jiaozhou Bay!

Naval warfare is completely different from land warfare. It's not that whoever has the most numbers and the more tonnage can win. At best, it's just an advantage. If the number of tons could have been won, the Spanish Armada would not have been defeated by the English pirates.

When fighting at sea, meteorological conditions, geography and hydrology, reasonable tactics and ship allocation, soldiers who are not afraid of death, and a little luck are the fundamental factors that determine everything.

Zheng Zhilong's smooth sailing over the years has given him confidence in his fleet. He was very confident that his fleet would definitely be able to completely defeat the rookie officers and soldiers who had powerful warships but could not exert their strength at all in a sudden attack!

And the fleet that Gao Yang put forward is what attracts Zheng Zhilong's attention the most. For those who beg for a living at sea. Nothing could have attracted them more than a powerful battleship. Zheng Zhilong was very greedy for this fleet that was the pearl of dust in his heart.

"Father!" Zheng Sen heard the implication in Zheng Zhilong's tone. He knew that Zheng Zhilong wanted to win his life. At this moment, there is no etiquette anymore, and if you don't persuade again, you won't have a chance! Shouted loudly, "If you really do it." That's rebellion! ”

There was silence in the room, except for the word of rebellion that kept echoing through the room. These people have taken refuge in the imperial court for many years. has always been in the business of bandits. It wasn't until Zheng Zhilong wanted to attack the sailors of the imperial court at this moment that they suddenly remembered that if they moved the sailors of the imperial court, didn't they just want to rebel?! Once there is a rebellion, no matter what the outcome is, at least his official clothes are gone. And I can't stay on this land anymore! All that I am enjoying now will be lost.

I keenly felt that the hearts of my subordinates began to fluctuate. Zheng Zhilong's gaze became more and more fierce. He looked at Zheng Sen with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice, "What about rebellion? This world. Where else is there that is not a rebellion? Then Li Zicheng has entered the Beijing Division! Aren't you still living a good life in Chang'an City now? Why can't we rebel? This is fucking the government forcing the people to rebel! Lao Tzu is not doing all this for you! ”

Zheng Zhilong really didn't expect that the most fierce opposition was actually the son he valued the most? ! At this moment, a deep feeling of betrayal made his body tremble slightly. The eyes that looked at Zheng Sen also carried a touch of crazy anger!

"Big brother, don't be angry!" Zheng Hongkui saw that the father and son were about to turn their faces, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Zheng Zhilong, turned his head and shouted at Zheng Sen, "What are you still stunned for?!" Hurry up and kneel down for your dad to admit his mistake! ”

Zheng Sen also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake. The other people in the room also reacted and rushed up to intercede for Zheng Sen. After a long while, Zheng Zhilong looked away from Zheng Sen, who was looking at Zheng Sen coldly. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Go back to your room and think about it." If you don't come back, don't come out. Everyone else is going to get ready, let's pick up the boat! ”

"It's over." Zheng Sen, who was kneeling on the ground, lamented in his heart. This is a real jump into the fire pit.

His Majesty the Emperor would rather die than negotiate peace with the Manchus even when Li Cheng was about to capture Jingshi. This may let go of the Zheng family who took the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty!

Not to mention what would happen if the raid failed, and even if it did?! There was no support on land. The Zheng family is just a large-scale rogue at sea! Why are you competing with those forces that are all backed by the state on the sea?!

The Zheng family can have today's status, and the most fundamental point is that it has put on the clothes of the official family! No matter who you fight with, you have the support of the government! And now Zheng Zhilong has to tear the clothes with his own hands, revealing the bandit clothes inside, and the impossible thing waiting for them is that there will be a good result.

What's more, there is also the national teacher with a mysterious origin. Killing 100,000 strong soldiers while talking and laughing, where will it be so easy to deal with!

Zheng Sen knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his hands clenched tightly into fists at his legs. Slowly lowered the eyelids, and when I opened them again, I was already full of determination!

......

Zheng Zhilong had already made all the preparations after getting the imperial court to have a powerful water master. A large number of ships of the Zheng family secretly assembled in the area of the Penghu Islands, and all news was blocked on land. In the open sea, they began to hoard all kinds of supplies, and valuable assets and families were also quietly transferred.

The officialdom of the whole of Fujian. Including Jin Yiwei, there was no awareness of what Zheng Zhilong had done. After all, after operating in Fujian for so many years, Zheng Zhilong doesn't even have this ability. Then he could not dominate the China Sea for so long.

In addition to those things placed on the surface, Zheng Zhilong also has a real killer feature in his hand. He signed a loan agreement with Governor Cohen of the Dutch East India Company, whereby the Dutch East India Company sent a fleet of eleven warships and more than forty armed merchant ships from Batavia and the Grand Commander. You can wait for Zheng Zhilong's order to attack at any time! And the price paid by Zheng Zhilong is naturally the most unacceptable land cession for the entire Chinese nation!

The emperor of the Ming Kingdom did not dare to say a word about ceding an inch of land. Even if he was beaten by Jianyu and couldn't find the north, he had always gritted his teeth and carried it to the death of the Manchu Qing until the death of the country.

And Zheng Zhilong dared to make such a promise to the Dutch before he did it. Although there is a big element of coaxing in it, it is more just taking advantage of the Dutch. But this kind of thing can't be done. In other words, you can't touch it at all.

If he doesn't start it, he really dares to pull outsiders to do it to himself. That Gao Yang really can't spare him. Even if he is Zheng Chenggong's Laozi, he must die.

Zheng Zhilong had been hesitating before. He wasn't stupid and knew what the root cause of his existence was. However, the other day, the holy decree completely pushed him to the edge of the cliff. He knew that no one could continue to be brilliant, and when the weakening Ming Empire came to his senses, he, the king of the sea, would also retire. It's just that I'm not reconciled!

After careful consideration, Zheng Zhilong, who is only in his early forties this year, doesn't want to go to a rich family so early! He's still ambitious, and he feels young! Under the inexplicable persecution from all sides, Zheng Zhilong finally made up his mind to play a game. Only once!

"If you lose, ask for peace and run away from Fusang." This is Zheng Zhilong's idea. If you win, you can also ask for peace, but you can continue to keep everything you have now, and if you grab the ship, your strength will increase greatly. If you lose, surrender on your own initiative. He ran away from Fusang and handed everything over to Zheng Sen. He didn't think about whether the imperial court would recruit him at all!

After making up his mind, Zheng Zhilong quietly left Anping Fort with his henchmen, and boarded a ship to the Penghu Islands to join the Zheng family's fleet. And Zheng Sen was left in Anping Fort to think about it and be strictly guarded.

......

"Mother, what is the hardest choice in life?" In Zheng Sen's room, Zheng Sen, dressed in white, knelt on the ground, his eyes were confused. Asked softly to the Tagawa clan in front of him.

Tagawa, who was wearing a kimono, paused slightly, put down the tea set in his hand, and pushed the brewed tea bowl in front of Zheng Sen. "It depends on what your choice will be." ”

"What if you have to choose between perpetuating your family and betraying your family?" Zheng Sen took a sip of the tea bowl with both hands, lowered his gaze, and asked in a low voice.

Tagawa's body trembled suddenly, the corners of his mouth were pursed, his face turned slightly pale, he closed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly without speaking. The room was silent.

After a long while, Tagawa opened his eyes and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Fumatsu." At the time of Fuso, for those samurai and famous families, the continuation of the family name was the most important thing. They would rather commit suicide by caesarean section and let the adopted child inherit their family name, and they will never accept the severance of their family name! The loyal retainers of the samurai family were even willing to abandon everything in order to restore the name of the lord family and fight for it for decades! Yamanaka Yukimori has been running for the Niko family all his life. Tagawa's words were very light, but with a hint of determination! And Zheng Sen, I heard it.

After listening to Tagawa's words, it was Zheng Sen's turn to be silent. The room fell silent again. It wasn't until the last trace of heat in the tea bowl dissipated that Zheng Sen slowly raised his head, his eyes full of determination.

After bowing heavily to his mother, Zheng Sen stood up and said softly, "Mother, I'm going." Also, I'm sorry. ”

Watching Zheng Sen leave with firm steps. Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of Tagawa's eyes. This is a betrayal between a husband and a son! And why didn't she also betray her husband?! All of this is for the Zheng family to continue! (To be continued)
