Chapter 497: The Zheng family came to ask for help

Stepping on Jeju Island again, oh no, it should be called the land of Tamna Island now, Zheng Zhilong was full of emotion in his heart. What made him sigh www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion was that Chu Fan's power was developing too fast!

When he came at the beginning of the year, Chu Fan was still living in a corner of Tamna Island, and he was secretly surviving all day under the deterrence of the Korean army's crusade - it was not clear whether Chu Fan was afraid of Zheng Zhilong at that time, but in his opinion, this was the truth.

But he never expected that the mighty North Korean army would be wiped out overnight! The huge Tamna Island was actually pocketed by Chu Fan so easily!

What he didn't expect was that Chu Fan, who had restored the country to Tamluo, couldn't bear to be the king, but succumbed to the post of supervising the country, this kind of heart and forbearance were really eye-catching-ask yourself, if Zheng Zhilong himself was in this situation, it would be impossible for him to give up the coveted throne!

After taking Tamna, Chu Fan then attacked North Korea again: Ganghwa Island robbed the prison, Nanpu City took root, and I heard that Pyongyang City was about to be surrounded by King Qin's army - this made Zheng Zhilong completely incomprehensible, Baba rescued the old North Korean master and contributed money and efforts to help him build his territory, this Chu Fan dared to take the wrong medicine?

Guanghaijun Li Hui is not an idle person, he wants to have prestige and prestige, and he has the ability to do things, so his old friends are all over North Korea, and now he puts up a big banner, maybe how many people will take refuge in the open, and he Chu Fan is so sure that he can control it? Don't make a fuss if you don't eat the mutton at that time, and make a wedding dress for Li Hui!

What also made Zheng Zhilong incomprehensible was Chu Fan's actions in the Wa Kingdom.

Chezhi Danyi is making more and more trouble in Southern Kyushu, what role Chu Fan has played in this, Zheng Zhilong doesn't know, but he is sure that the former is definitely tired!

Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong was also baptized Chezhidan - he still has a Nicholas? What about the name of the Church of the Lord, of course, he wished that the faithful of Kyushu would be able to build a place where the cross of God could stand high in the kingdom of the Japanese.

But from the perspective of an ally, he didn't want Chu Fan to go to this troubled water - the strength of the general in Edo should not be underestimated, and the whole of Japan was unified by his family, even the supreme in Beijing had to retreat, how could this tiger whisker dare to tease at will?

Besides, don't you just want peace when you talk about merchants? Only in the peaceful and prosperous times can it be easy to make money, and it is too late to save your life in the troubled times of fighting and killing, how to make money?

Zheng Zhilong, who walked to the side of the boat, couldn't help but take a long breath, but his eyes were fixed on the long figure not far away. He himself would never admit that all the slander about this figure was nothing but envy and jealousy—it was precisely because he could not understand or penetrate that his short-sightedness and foolishness were further contrasted!

It was precisely because of jealousy that Zheng Zhilong missed the great opportunity for cooperation between the two sides, that is, the time when he came to congratulate him at the beginning of the year - if he had responded to Chu Fan's hint of alliance at that time, the Zheng family would not have groveled to ask for help today!

Yes, Zheng Zhilong is here to ask for help this time!

Perhaps because of the butterfly effect that appeared in Chu Fan, the Zheng family prematurely attracted the attention of the Dutch East India Company in this time and space. The tragic encounter off Nagasaki cost the Dutch East India Company two valuable Great Galens, and what was even more infuriating was that Major Hunttle, the son of one of the seventeen directors, fell into the hands of this group of Ming pirates, and finally spent a lot of gold to redeem them.

The description of the lucky escape back to Van Oersted, as well as the whole box of gold coins that had to be loaded and shipped out of the ship, made the Governor of Batavia firmly remember the name Zheng Zhilong - the Zheng family's flying tiger flag hunted and flew in the naval battle, and the ransom was handled by the Zheng family, and the unknown Dutch had already recorded all the accounts on the Zheng family!

What Zheng Zhilong didn't know was that compared to the original time and space, the time for Liu Xiang and the Governor of Batavia to join forces in this time and space was more than two years earlier, and the revenge of the Dutch began to follow from the middle of this year - under the guidance of Liu Xiang, the Dutch had already attacked Zheng's house three times, Zheng Zhilong's stronghold on Nanao Island in Shantou and Ba Shege in the southeast of Dayuan was washed in blood, and a fleet full of raw silk sailing to Nagasaki was also wiped out!

Zheng Zhilong, who had a keen sense of smell, knew that these were just appetizers before the feast - he sent a message from the secret stake he had planted with Liu Xiang, and both Liu Xiang and the Dutch in Batavia were sending troops to prepare to organize an expedition to Fujian with a fleet so strong that "all the ships on the East Asian seas would flee from the wind"! The target is Jinjiang Anhai Town, where the Zheng family is located!

Rao is Zheng Zhilong has already hugged the thick legs of the imperial court, and this news also made him sweat and fidget-Zheng Zhilong, who has been a translator for Westerners since he was a child, has seen a lot of knowledge, and of course he can weigh the weight of the Dutch, which is by no means something that the small ship cannon is weak and the Ming sailors like a plate of loose sand can compete!

The imperial court was unreliable, so Zheng Zhilong had to spread the heroic posts widely, and rewarded the "Jianghu brothers" in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong with a very high reward, hoping to resolve the huge technological advantage of the Dutch through numbers - "ants bite elephants to death", which is Zheng Zhilong's consistent method of dealing with Westerners. (Crab note: In the real history of the Battle of Liaoluowan, Zheng Zhilong did use this strategy to finally defeat the Dutch-Liu Xiang coalition army.) )

Compared with the small shrimp and crab-like pirates in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, the Fuliao Army Sailor in Tamluo is comparable to the behemoth of the Zheng family, and when it comes to asking for help, the first person Zheng Zhilong thinks of is of course Chu Fan and Chu Yixian.

However, because Chu Fan's attitude has always been ambiguous, Zheng Zhilong can't figure out whether this Tamluo prison is sitting on the wall and watching? Or do you want to help? Or even rob while the fire is hot?

Zheng Zhilong almost had no hope of helping him - if it was said that the rivers and lakes were in emergency, when Chu Fan faced the North Korean army, he didn't do anything except send some iron materials; When people were in crisis, they didn't reach out to help, so why should they let them help now?

It is impossible to say that it is impossible to rob while the fire is burning - although Zheng Zhilong has only been with Chu Fan a few times, whether it is a first impression or a rumor, this Yixian brother is not the kind of villain who falls into a well and stabs him in the back, so Zheng Zhilong is not too worried.

In Zheng Zhilong's opinion, Chu Fan's most likely choice this time is the same as himself at the beginning of the year - sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight!

This strategy is the safest, no matter who wins or loses, there is room for maneuver - it is good for the Zheng family to win, Chu Fan has an excuse to excuse himself, after all, Tamna's strength is here, and in the end, he has to pinch his nose and form an alliance with him; If the Dutch wins, Chu Fan is afraid that he will immediately draw a line with the Zheng family and throw all the previous holidays with the Dutch on the Zheng family!

It was precisely because of such concerns that Zheng Zhilong did not dare to come rashly, until recently, he collected hundreds of pirate ships, and only after realizing that his strength had risen greatly did he bring this huge fleet to ask for help.

This is both a show of strength and a demonstration!

Even if Chu Fan really wants to watch from the wall, he has to let Chu Fan know that he has a boat to deal with the sneak attack of the Fuliao Army's sailors, and he thinks that he can fish in troubled waters to reap benefits!

Of course, bringing such a large fleet is not just for the sake of prestige, Zheng Zhilong is also ready to pluck out the flesh on the return trip - the Ryukyu island is all occupied by the Shimazu family, just take advantage of this trip to clean it up, lest this restless guy stab him in the back.

In the midst of his thoughts rolling, Zheng Zhilong unconsciously went to the dock, walked in front of Chu Fan surrounded by all the brothers, and when he raised his eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned.
