Zheng Hongkui sat in the living room, which was a specially opened cabin for the big ship, which was used for deliberations. Zheng Hongkui www.biquge.info who is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, has the background of a martial artist. When Zheng Zhilong was a thief in the East China Sea at sea, he was still a minor. When he became an adult, Zheng Zhilong had been recruited by the imperial court and became a general. Zheng Hongkui naturally embarked on a different path from his brother, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, he took the martial arts examination and passed the martial arts examination. Later, due to Zheng Zhilong's great contribution to exterminating pirates and clearing the Ming coast, Zheng Hongkui was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Of course, he is only a false commander, and he does not really command the Jinyi Guard. This year, Zheng Hongkui returned to his hometown and province, and was sent by Zheng Zhilong to Japan to press the ship, and by the way, escorted Zheng Sen, who returned to Japan to visit his mother.

Zheng Sen is nineteen years old this year, dressed in a green silk robe, with a handsome face and a dashing demeanor. At this moment, Zheng Sen was sitting beside his uncle Zheng Hongkui, listening silently to the conversation between his uncle and the shipowners in Fujian.

Zheng Sen is the son of Zheng Zhilong and the Japanese girl Tagawa when he was in Japan. After Zheng Zhilong became famous, he didn't want his son to be a reckless martial artist like himself, so he deliberately trained his son to study. When Zheng Sen was six years old, Zheng Zhilong sent someone to bring him back to Daming from Japan and send him to a private school to study. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Zheng Sen was admitted to show talent, Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed, and he was greatly cultivated.

This year, Zheng Zhilong is ready to send Zheng Sen to Nanjing Guozijian to worship Qian Qianyi, a member of the Donglin Party, as his teacher. Zheng Sen missed his mother who was far away in Japan, so he begged his father to visit his mother in Japan. Zheng Zhilong gave his ship to Zheng Sen to ride, and sent his fourth brother Zheng Hongkui to escort the ship in person to ensure the safety of his son.

Zheng Zhilong's ship arrived in Nagasaki, which immediately caused a sensation, and the owners of the ship from Daming came up to pay their respects. The visitors were guests, and Zheng Hongkui couldn't turn them away, and with the intention of letting his nephew Zheng Sen gain knowledge, he took Zheng Sen to meet the owners of the ship one by one. However, Zheng Sen has been studying all these years, and he usually interacts with scholars in long shirts and turbans, where does he have a common language with these vulgar seafarers, plus he himself is a famous scholar, he looks down on these men at sea at all, although his father was once one of them. The whole process was done without a word.

Looking at his nephew's pretentious appearance, Zheng Hongkui sighed and had to deal with the visiting ship owner alone.

Just when Zheng Hongkui was chatting happily with several fellow shipowners from Fujian, there was a commotion on the deck outside, and Zheng Hongkui's brows couldn't help frowning.

A subordinate of the Zheng family hurriedly rushed in and whispered something in Zheng Hongkui's ear.

"It's funny, a talent from Zhejiang dares to go against the Dutch. Let's go out and have a look. Zheng Hongkui said with a smile.

Hearing the word "Xiucai", Zheng Sen's eyes lit up, and he followed Zheng Hongkui out first.

On the deck, seeing Ren Siqi contemptuously outstretching his middle finger, Geert only felt that the hot blood rushed to his head, and he screamed in anger, and pulled out the long sword at his waist.

"You dare to insult me, I, I want to duel with you!" Geert angrily said to Ren Siqi.

Seeing the other party pull out a thin stabbing sword, Li Xingjiu dodged in front of Ren Siqi, and the narrow sword was already in his hand.

Seeing that both sides were moving their swords, the onlookers retreated one after another, giving way to a large area on the deck.

In the clearing, several Dutch retinues led by Geert confronted Ren Siqi and others.

"Who dares to go wild on my Zheng family's boat?" A majestic voice sounded outside the circle, and Zheng Hongkui walked over with Zheng Sen Pozhong.

"Fourth Master Zheng!" Zheng Hongkui is the fourth oldest and is Zheng Zhilong's fourth brother.

"Commander Zheng!"

"Lord Zheng!"

The onlookers greeted Zheng Hongkui one after another, and as for Zheng Sen, who followed behind Zheng Hongkui, he did not participate in the affairs of the Zheng family because he was dedicated to studying, but not many people recognized him.

Zheng Hongkui smiled and signaled to everyone one by one, and walked in front of the confrontational people without stopping.

"Who gave you the guts to use knives and guns on my Zheng family's ship!" Zheng Hongkui snorted and scolded sharply.

"Put the knife away!" Ren Siqi commanded in a low voice, and Li Xingjiu and the others sent the knife into the sheath one after another.

"The student has seen Master Zheng!" Ren Siqi knew the identity of the person in front of him during the conversation just now, and stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute.

"Students?" Zheng Hongkui frowned slightly, this title is very fresh at sea.

"The student is a student member of Yinxian County, and the adult is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so of course he has to be called a student in front of the adult." Ren Siqi emphasized his identity as a showman, which is to remind Zheng Hongkui that he is not a person without background, after all, the strength of the Dutch is far greater than himself, and if he faces the Dutch alone, he has no chance of winning with his two boats. It would be great if he could get the protection of the Zheng family.

"Hehe," Zheng Hongkui's facial muscles twitched, and he smiled without a smile: "It turns out that he is still a talented man, but we are not in Daming at the moment, but at sea in Japan, so don't mention Daming's set of titles." Now let's talk about what's going on, shall we? ”

"That's the case, Lord Zheng, it was these Dutch people who provoked in public, pulled out their weapons first, and were forced to defend themselves. Everyone present can testify! Seeing Zheng Hongkui's attitude, Ren Siqi sighed in his heart, it seems that it is impossible for the Zheng family to protect themselves.

"Venerable General Zheng, I would like to accuse you of this man's piracy. They robbed our Dutch ship 'Shark' and took it for themselves. You Zheng family and our Dutch East India Company have a cooperation agreement, you must punish the pirates, return the 'Shark', and give us Dutch an account!" Geert walked up to Zheng Hongkui and complained fiercely.

Zheng Hongkui listened calmly, then turned to look at Ren Siqi: "What's the matter with the 'Shark' he said?" ”

"A few months ago, the Shark tried to rob our ship, but we defeated and captured it, and it was as simple as that." Ren Siqi spread his hands and said, he now wants to see how Zheng Hongkui handles this matter, in front of so many Ming ship owners, he can't openly favor the Dutch.

'No, you're lying. ' The Shark is a merchant ship, how could it be a pirate? Geert shouted angrily.

Zheng Hongkui pondered for a while and said, "Okay, you all have your own reasons. This matter is your private grudge, so you can settle it yourself. But my Zheng family's ship is not a place for you to go wild! ”

"As long as General Zheng, you don't favor them." Geert turned to Ren Siqi: "As for you, pray God bless you, we Dutch people will not tolerate those who dare to provoke us." ”

After saying that, Geert got off the boat with his men arrogantly.

"Lord Zheng, our Qiyun Firm is hanging the banner of your Zheng family, are you just watching the Dutch bully us?" Ren Siqi said coldly to Zheng Hongkui.
