Standing side by side with Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan is a tall and sturdy middle-aged man, with a face full of steel needle-like beards, a sharp short sword-shaped hairpin inserted in the bun on the top of his head, a long robe of agarwood-colored fragrant cloud yarn, five bats holding longevity robes, and a wide copper buckle and cowhide plate belt around his waist, a nondescript dress that is in stark contrast to Xiong Wencan, who is in a black gauze red robe next to him.

If you didn't guess wrong, this person was Zheng Sen's father, Zheng Zhilong. Now the relationship between the Zheng family and the imperial court is Zhao'an and Zhao'an, but both sides do not trust each other, so they choose to welcome Liu Ziguang in Quanzhou, which is geographically neutral, and the warriors present are all wearing armor and weapons, and they seem to be ready to fight at any time.

"Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, greets Lord Liu, the governor of the southeast governor's town." After Xiong Wencan finished speaking, he was about to give Liu Ziguang a salute as soon as he lifted the hem of the official robe, Liu Ziguang was going to play the role of a young senior official with a humble heart at this time, of course, he would not let Xiong Wencan kneel, and he hurriedly took two steps forward to help: "Lord Xiong can't help it." Xiong Wencan got up, but a large group of officials in Fujian Province knelt down, only Zheng Zhilong and a group of rough men under him just bowed down, Liu Ziguang was approachable, asked the adults to get up, and then asked Xiong Wencan: "Who is this strong man?" Without waiting for Xiong Wencan to introduce the man, he spoke: "Zheng Zhilong, the grass people, see the Inspector." ”

"It turned out to be Zheng... Zheng Lao Hero. "Liu Ziguang can't think of what words to call Zheng Zhilong, the appointment of the imperial court has not been read out, is it appropriate to call him Lord Zheng, follow Zheng Sen's seniority, and call him Uncle Zheng Shi?

It's even more inappropriate, and after thinking about it, it is better to use vague words like old heroes, preferably judging from Zheng Zhilong's legendary resume, he can definitely afford the title of hero in troubled times.

Zheng Zhilong was obviously very appreciative of this title, and smiled heartily: "Lord Inspector is serious, the hero doesn't dare to be a mere pirate leader, thanks to the imperial court's unabandonment, willing to recruit the grass people of the headquarters, and the people of the ministry to thank the emperor and Lord Liu first." As he spoke, he bowed deeply again, and a group of pirates with large shoulders and round waists behind him also saluted again.

This guy is a cheerful person, this is Zheng Zhilong's first impression of Liu Ziguang, Zheng Zhilong's nose is straight, his mouth is right, his appearance is dignified, a pair of ringed eyes, a pair of eyes are bright, a pair of rivers and lakes boss is not angry and self-authoritative, he gave Liu Ziguang a gift is a combination of Chinese and Japanese styles, a large-angle bow and fist hugging, Liu Ziguang naturally wants to come to help, when he helps Zheng Zhilong's arm, he can feel the steel nails protruding from the hard leather wristbrace inside the sleeves of the robe, Zheng Zhilong's hands are very powerful, the thick muscles and veins bulge, at first glance, he is a practitioner, he insists on bowing, Liu Ziguang just wants to help twice, and the scene is more energetic, to talk about brute force, I am afraid that no one in this world can call Liu Ziguang to fight, so this secret contest was instantly separatedHigh and low.

Liu Ziguang helped Zheng Zhilong up, and looked at the group of pirates behind him with a smile, these guys were dressed in a variety of colors, and the chaos of human races was enough to compare with his own red-shirted group, there were whites, blacks, Malays, brown people, and Japanese warriors, and the weapons hanging from their waists were also messy, Chinese-style swords, waist knives, Japanese samurai swords, Western long swords, Arab scimitars, hand axes, Steel whips and the like, these heroes are draped diagonally, showing the muscles they have met and messy chest hair, or bald, or long or Ming-style buns, a pair of unruly eyes under the long or Ming-style bun, staring at Liu Ziguang obliquely, with a nonchalant expression.

One of the bald fellows had his eyebrows shaved, his whole head was like an egg, and he turned his head and spat out a mouthful of spit to himself, "What a little ass, the Inspector." The voice was not loud, but it could be heard by everyone present, and the harmonious atmosphere that had been created was ruined by his words.

Xiong Wencan snorted very dissatisfied, and raised his head to the side, he has always opposed the Zheng family of Zhao'an, and now the Zheng family actually gave the supervisor an ugly look in public, which verified that his opinion was right, so Xiong Wencan looked very angry on the surface, but he was actually a little gloating in his heart.

"Zhihu must not be rude."

"Second uncle......" Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen spoke out almost at the same time to stop the bald man's rude behavior, but it can be seen that Zheng Sen is really anxious, and Zheng Zhilong is more like a perfunctory.

Liu Ziguang snorted, walked up to Zheng Zhihu, stared at his eyes, and said: "Whether you have real skills or not, it doesn't depend on your age, you don't understand this reason, this duck egg-headed brother has a very outstanding head shape, but he was still driven to the shore by Westerners, and I need this little guy to wipe your buttocks, right, right." These extremely harsh words are not like the words of a first-class official of the imperial court, but like a talk between the men of the rivers and lakes, Zheng Zhihu, who counts the duck egg head, is the first fierce general of the Zheng family's army, and has always opposed Zhao'an, and was scolded by Liu Ziguang at this time, and he couldn't bear it, and he rushed to Liu Ziguang with one arrow, grabbed his collar with one hand, and pulled out the ox ear sharp knife on his waist with the other, which was about to be splashed with blood on the spot!

Zheng Zhilong didn't expect the second brother to be so reckless, and hurriedly stopped him, but it was too late, he only heard a miserable cry, Zheng Zhihu's thick body flew into the distance like a kite with a broken string, and fell straight into the sea, with a wave of waves, and the bull ear sharp knife was already in the hands of Inspector Liu.

Suddenly, there was a sound of sharp knives unsheathed, the Zheng family soldiers unsheathed their swords, three or four long knives were on Liu Ziguang's neck at the same time, and the Fujian soldiers in that compartment also drew their swords and were ready to come over to fight at any time, Liu Ziguang's guards raised their muskets and aimed at Zheng Zhilong, and the air on the pier seemed to freeze the battle.

Xiong Wencan and Zheng Zhilong didn't expect that things would evolve to this point, and the current situation seems to be out of control, if they accidentally injure the Inspector, this dock will immediately become a bloody battlefield, and the few people present may not be able to get out.

At this critical juncture, Liu Ziguang suddenly laughed, gently pushed away the swords on his neck one by one with his fingers, and then walked towards the Zheng family's army column as if no one was around, and the strong Zheng army soldiers involuntarily dodged a path for him, just like that, in front of everyone's eyes, Liu Ziguang inspected Zheng Zhilong's troops, and he patted the soldier's shoulder or chest from time to time, nodded and praised in a very elegant manner: "The young man is good." Finally, he went around in a circle, returned to Zheng Zhilong, handed the dagger into Zheng Zhilong's hand, and said, "Take it well, don't let your brother show the knife casually in front of me, it will kill you." After speaking, Zheng Zhilong, who had a solemn face, strode across the trestle to the carriage and horses prepared for him by the governor of Fujian, and the red-shirted regimental guards also put away their muskets and followed Liu Dashuai ashore with neat steps.

"Daddy." Zheng Sen came out of the queue and walked up to Zheng Zhilong and shouted in a low voice.

"Sen'er. Who is this Liu Dashuai? Zheng Zhilong asked with a long sigh. Without waiting for his son to answer, Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said: "He said that I am an old hero, I think he is a hero, as the so-called hero since ancient times, he is a young man, I am old... 6 The elite troops of the Red Shirt Regiment who continued to land on the shore were still in excellent spirits after the long sea journey and bumpy soldiers, the armor was bright, the swords and guns were dazzling, and the sharp eyes and strong physique showed that this was a strong army that had been experienced in a hundred battles and killed countless people, and what surprised Zheng Jiajun even more was that there were also many foreign soldiers with high noses, blue eyes and black skin in this army...

"Let's go." Zheng Zhilong said quietly, the strength of the army brought by Liu Dashuai should not be underestimated, and it seems that the original plan should be appropriately adjusted.

Zheng Jiajun turned around and left under Zheng Zhilong's order, only Zheng Sen asked uneasily: "What about the second uncle?" ”

"Don't care if he dies, let him suffer a little." Zheng Zhilong said coldly. In the distance, Zheng Zhihu finally climbed onto the beach, gasping for breath, his chest hurt so much, I am afraid that several ribs will be broken, that little superintendent is not manpower, and his strength is greater than that steam engine, and he actually kicked me out so far, and now my second tiger master's face can be regarded as a loss.

Quanzhou City is a huge trade port city, but also the three major cities of the Ming Dynasty, the location of the Quanzhou City Shipping Division, the city restaurants, inns, commercial houses, the traffic is very prosperous, merchants and sailors of various nationalities walk back and forth on the street, the style of the whole city is very close to Shanghai, but with some unique tropical style。

Liu Ziguang, the southeast governor of the Yamen of Quanzhou Patrol Road, let the accompanying eunuch read out a holy decree, appointing Zheng Zhilong as the chief soldier of the Fujian Naval Division, and his subordinates also have their own rewards, official positions, ranging from generals, deputy generals, to guerrillas, and thousands of households, with the appointment of the letter of appointment and Wusha and supplemental service, this time the proud Zheng Zhilong finally bowed his head and knelt on the ground, took the holy decree Mountain, and kowtowed to thank him.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong asked for the title of the king of Taiwan, and then gradually demoted to the governor of Taiwan, and then the governor of Fujian, the commander of the water division, and the price code became lower and lower, and finally the court only gave him a position of the chief soldier of the Fujian water division.
