Zheng Zhilong watched Di Qing go away in annoyance, thinking about it repeatedly in his heart, he felt that he had not said anything wrong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The price of 200,000 taels of silver to recover Xiaoliuqiu can be negotiated, isn't it, but Zhao Lie didn't talk about this condition, it seems that the problem is in the leased harbor.

The Ming court didn't agree, it was just too pedantic, and it would rather meet with the Dutch swords than agree to this request, but it turned a blind eye to the Dutch people's private sea trade in Xiaoliuqiu, without him, the Ming knew that he was not capable of defeating the powerful sailor of the red hair.

Of course, this is also beneficial to Zheng Zhilong, and he also has a share in the private sea trade with the Dutch people, and now more than 100 sea ships go to Xiaoliuqiu for sea trade every year, Zheng Zhilong is taxed, but he makes a lot of money.

But Zheng Zhilong also had a part in the lease of the harbor in Denglai, and the Dutch, Franco, and English promised to demarcate the territory for him, and his Zheng family could participate in it, which is why he Zheng Zhilong agreed to stand with the Xiyi people to put pressure on Zhao Lie.

But now that Zhao Lie heard that he had decided to leave, this made Zheng Zhilong puzzled, this is really not a big deal, is it worth fighting against hundreds of nearly a thousand warships for this broken seaport.

This Zhao Lie really has no bearing in the city, for the sake of a broken port and trade, he fought a lot, how did he get mixed to the point of the Ming general army, he is really a brainless martial artist, Zheng Zhilong was extremely annoyed, at this time he despised Zhao Lie's IQ extremely much, in the end it was too shallow experience.

"Zheng, why did he leave like this, can we talk about it again." Sanders really couldn't understand that the negotiations were not like that, it would take a long time to negotiate, and there were many things that could be negotiated and compromised.

"It's not the gold and silver here," Zheng Zhilong pointed in the direction of Anping City, "but the lease of the harbor, you are sure that it is your last condition." If you finally give up the harbor, I can catch up and negotiate with this Zhao Lie again. ”

Zheng Zhilong looked at Sanders wistfully.

"No, no, no, we can even give up here." Sanders pointed in the direction of Xiaoliuqiu. "You want to get this port, Zheng, think about Macau."

Spain's most envy and jealousy is that even the younger brother Macao Portuguese can mix a seaport with Daming to trade with Daming, but they can only float on the sea, without the right to directly trade with Daming, they can only smuggle through Macao or secretly, which greatly affects the interests of maritime trade, and the most important thing is that there is nowhere to garrison troops at all.

Zheng Zhilong looked up at the sky and spread his hands helplessly, "Then there's nothing to talk about." ”

If the Xiyi people do not support him, but with his hundreds of warships, they cannot independently defeat Zhao Lie's department, if he splits with the Xiyi people, then they will have no possibility of defeating Zhao Lie's department, and they can only sit and watch Zhao Lie expand his strength in Xiaoliuqiu, which makes him helpless to miss this peace meeting.

The San Jose turned east and returned to its home position, with only one major battle between the two sides to decide the maritime supremacy of East Asia.

Zhao Lie silently returned to the big array, he actually thought about compromise, it was because he didn't want too much damage to the army and navy here, once the problem of the mainland was solved in the future, Zheng Zhilong lost Fujian's nest, it would be insignificant, he could completely use the same tactics as Jiannu back then, occupy the mainland, let the Zheng family lose its foundation, and become a real floating fleet.

Therefore, he can't back down, who let there be a situation that has never appeared in history when a few Xiyi people join hands with Zheng Zhilong.

But the bottom line is to lease a seaport, this is absolutely unbearable, this is not a seaport business, if the Xiyi people occupy this seaport, it will be a big tail for a long time.

They will use this seaport to infiltrate the interior and collude with some so-called gentry in the mainland, not to mention, if there is civil strife in the Central Plains, he Zhao Lie will definitely have a time when he is incompetent, so what kind of things will these bastards do, it is impossible to fund Jiannu and Li Zicheng, they are all milk or mother's goods, and they can sell everything for the sake of profit.

If the Dingge Central Plains drags on for a few years or more than ten years, whether the Xiyi people have a firm foothold or not, there will be a hard battle to drive them away.

In the end, Zhao Lie was afraid that future generations would take this matter as a big stain on his body, and he would never be able to wash it away, and he was lucky to change the tragic ending of Daming this time, but he didn't plan to lose his reputation, and there was no need to lose it.

It seems that there is only one war, and there is no other way, or maybe we can decide the outcome in one battle, so as to completely solve the enemy at sea and unify the sea frontier in advance.

Of course, Zhao Lie also made preparations for a crushing victory or a small defeat, but no matter what the result, the fate of these enemies will not be better, and the threat to the north will be basically eliminated, that is, war.

After Di Qing returned, Zhao Lie immediately raised the red eagle head banner and the handsome flag of his chief officer, and was well versed in the death battle of the whole army.

All the warships of the Broken Army have raised the eagle's head flag, and all the sailors of the Broken Army know that the decisive battle has come, and the enemy in front is indeed the biggest enemy of the Broken Naval Division.

Zhao Feng is now the captain of the Han Baohu, although compared to the Tang and Song Dynasty class warships, the 400-ton warship of the Sui-class warship is much smaller and longer, but Zhao Feng is very satisfied.

He knew in his heart that he had only participated in the last battle to annihilate the Japanese sailors, and he had no major merits, that is, he went to play soy sauce.

He was promoted to this captain somewhat because he was the third brother of Zhao Lie and Zhao Meng, so he planned to seize the merits of the war in this battle and let himself not disgrace the glory of the Zhao family.

Zhao Feng has been busy back and forth on the artillery deck and the upper deck these days, he has personally inspected all the artillery, sails, and armor, and now the Han Capture Tiger is all ready, just waiting for the big war to come.

Zhao Feng watched the second brother's ship return to the formation, and then the eagle head flags of the battle were raised one after another in each ship, and he knew that the big war was coming.

He ordered the boatswain to raise the battle flag, and his heart was overjoyed, come on.

Of course, he was still a little depressed in his heart, and he was assigned to a partial team, which was to deal with the enemy's fireship fleet, which consisted of thirty flying clippers, thirty patrol ships, Sui-class battleships, Tang-class battleships, and thirty armed merchant ships.

Zhao Feng really didn't know if he could encounter some big warships at this time, and whether he would have the opportunity to make contributions.

He stood on the deck and instructed the sailors to start sailing, joining the other Sui-class warships and less than ten Han-class warships such as Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan, as well as other patrol ships and clippers.

Under the command of the battleship Hou Junji, a Tang-class battleship, it gathered on the periphery of the large array of the Broken Army's naval division.

They were the first fleet to be prepared, and after this partial division was ready, the Broken Army Naval Division began to march eastward.

The Song-class battleships Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Li Jilong, Cao Wei, Zhang Kang, Zhang Qi, Zongze, Chongge, Chongshidao, Wu Jie, Wu Lan, Yu Yunwen, Meng Hui, Bi Zaiyu, Wang Jian, Yang Jiye, Liu Qi, Wang Shao, Cao Bin, Zhang Jun, Li Tingzhi, Wei Sheng, Wang De, Zhang Wei, Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, Yang Zaixing, Gao Huaide, Chong Shiheng, Yang Yanzhao, Zhang Shijie and other warships marched eastward.

During the miscellaneous period, Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiong, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi, Xue Rengui, Wei Chigong, Heiya Changzhi, Su Dingfang, Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Yichao, Chai Shao, Qu Tutong, Li Daozong, Pei Xingjian, Liu Renliang, Xue Wanche, Wang Junkuo, Liu Hongji, Zhang Baoxiang, Niu Jinda, Wang Xuance, Xue Wanjun, Wang Zhongsi, Zhang Shouqi, Zhang Xiaosong, Li Yi, Geshuhan and a large number of Tang family warships.

Outside them were nearly a hundred patrol ships and clippers, and the whole fleet swooped down to the east.

Zhang Huan gave orders on the Wang Jian, ordering the sailors to adjust the sails and maintain the speed and course to keep up with the group.

The captains of the Broken Army Naval Division are generally changed once a year, and they must not serve as captains on the same ship for too long, but Zhao Lie does not want to form a fixed small gang on the ship.

Therefore, Zhang Huan is the captain of the Song-class battleship Wang Jian at this moment, and the four sails of this eight-hundred-ton behemoth are all raised, driving the huge body and hundreds of sailors on board, and sixty-six giant cannons to ride the wind and waves to the east.

The sea breeze blew from behind, the sails roared, and the blue water with a large stream of white foam was split by the warship.

Zhang Huan looked around at the many Song and Tang-class warships that accompanied him, and his mood was stirred, he had gone from a poor boy to a Song-class warship with nearly 400 sailors, and it was said that he had reached his original wish.

In the early days, he was able to advance to the captain of a Song-class battleship, and it was the greatest hope of his life to control such a huge ship and gallop across the sea.

But now that he was sitting in this position of infinite glory, he felt that he could go one step further.

In the past year, as some old sailors have been injured or retired due to age, or transferred to offshore defense or entered the sailor academy, the opportunities for promotion to young captains like Zhang Huan have greatly increased, and Lan San is now also the captain of the Tang-class battleship Wang Zhongsi.

Zhang Huan longed for him to go one step further and become a member of the command fleet.

He can now see that the Broken Army Naval Division will be stationed everywhere in the future, such as Anpyeong, Ishishima, Jeju, North China, with the expansion of the Broken Army, there must be other places that need to be stationed, of course he wants to become a military general in charge of one side, and earn a family business and glory for his children.

Lan Hui gave birth to a daughter for him a few days ago, Zhang Huan is also a person with both children and daughters, thinking of the small appearance of his children, Zhang Huan grinned.

At this moment, the sailors at the lookout shouted, "Captain, there are enemy ships less than ten miles ahead, enemy ships. ”

The sailors sounded the alarm guns.

Zhang Huan came back to his senses from meditation, and he shouted, "Prepare for war, prepare for war." (To be continued.) )
