There was no need for Zheng Zhilong to wait for half a month in fear, in the morning of the second day when Song Xiance and others left, Zhu Jian put forward the agenda of opening the sea, and the six departments passed a new "sea ban order" on the same day, printed it and sent it to the provincial capitals of the coastal provinces, ordering local officials and ordinary people to strictly abide by it.

In fact, the new "Sea Ban Order" is no different from the old "Sea Ban Order", if you want to say the difference, that is, in terms of punishment, the new order is much more severe than the old order, but everyone knows that it is not taken seriously at all.

When Kuaiqi sent the "Forbidden Sea Order" to Fujian Province, Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief, and signed a secret agreement with Song Xiance and several noble old princes on the same day, and then dragged Song Xiance and others to the most famous local Chunxiang Pavilion to drink flower wine, and finally the guests and hosts were drunk and unconscious.

At noon the next day, Zheng Zhilong, who was dizzy-headed, summoned all his henchmen and confessed, and then the Zheng family's warship sailed out to sea, covering the sea mightily.

The local merchants are still as usual, with a big grin to load all kinds of goods on the ship, and sail out to sea in groups, the sea is vast, there are many islands, there are many pirates who occupy the island as the king, and rob merchant ships everywhere, however, since Zheng Zhilong accepted the recruitment of the imperial court, these pirates either fled to other places to continue their livelihood, or put themselves under the banner of Zheng Zhilong, and became the naval officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the channel was much safer than before.

Not long after the hordes of merchant ships went to sea, the warships of the Zheng family were outflanked from all directions, and they were ordered to stop and be inspected.

The bosses were not worried at all, they stopped the ship as usual, and then offered a protection fee, which was customary, and after paying the protection fee, they could be escorted by the Zheng family's warship, and the other weak pirates saw the Zheng Zi banner from a distance and hid far away.

However, this time it ran into big trouble, after the Zheng family soldiers got on the ship, they did not accept the protection fee, but really carried out an inspection, but if they found that the ship was loaded with goods, they immediately detained the boat and detained people, and were taken into the water village for interrogation.

There were more than 30 cargo ships that were seized, and the sailors of the original hand were driven off the ship, and all the sailors of the Zheng family took over, planted the Zheng flag, and set sail again under the escort of the warship.

The seized ships were confiscated and transported to other provinces to be sold, exchanged for silver for white flowers, and then divided among the three families.

The Son of Heaven and those nobles only symbolically contributed 100,000 taels of silver to the shares, and did nothing else, but he kept in mind the warnings of several military advisers, and he only took 30 percent, the Son of Heaven alone accounted for 50 percent, and several nobles only accounted for 20 percent.

Don't underestimate this twenty percent, a large merchant ship carries goods equivalent to the number of forty or fifty large carriages on land, robbing a merchant ship has earned a lot of silver, not to mention more than thirty merchant ships, this single work, Zhu Jian has received nearly a million taels of dirty silver.

According to Song Xiance's request, Zheng Zhilong ordered his subordinates to tow the more than 30 merchant ships into the dock for refitting, among which the latest 20 or so were converted into warships, and Song Xiance had told him before, so he was not worried at all.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is too large, the coastal defense line alone has 178 kilometers, and several naval forces need to be formed, Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family army is the strongest, and the combat power is also the most fierce, and it deserves to become the first fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the Fujian Navy Division ranks second, and Song Xiance is forming the sea wolf fleet first.

Zhu Jian knows that the big navy can not be built in a few years, but it takes N years to accumulate, he has taken a big step from scratch, the current sea wolf fleet is mainly to escort ships and earn money, and the naval war is all thrown to Zheng Jiajun to be responsible.

The Fujian Arsenal had already been notified, and the workers worked overtime to produce the larger caliber Franc machine guns, followed by the Lumi guns and grenades, and the priority was given to equipping the Zheng Jiajun and the Sea Wolf Fleet, and then it was the turn of the Fujian Naval Division.

When the Seawolf Fleet was first built, there were no sailors who even rocked the oars, let alone soldiers, Zheng Zhilong listened to the advice of the military advisers, and did not dial a single sailor, mainly because he was worried that people would suspect him of planting eyeliner in the Seawolf Fleet, but Song Xiance recruited sailors from the people himself, and after gathering enough, he sent a few old sailors over to help carry out various training such as naval warfare.

A large number of merchant ships went to sea, were intercepted, inspected and seized by Zheng Jiajun, cargo ships were confiscated, a large number of sailors were unemployed, not afraid of not being able to recruit manpower, there were more people to choose from, Song Xiance's conditions for recruiting sailors were relatively strict, and the thorns who did not absolutely obey the order were not allowed, and if they wanted to eat, they had to obediently pick up their tails and be a man.

The conditions for the recruitment of sailors are basically the same as the requirements of the Wolf Battalion and the Phoenix Legion, all of them are young people from poor families, the only difference is that they are all locals living in the coastal area, everyone can swim in the water, and they do not get seasick.

The officers can only be drawn from a few coastal water divisions such as Fujian, even if Song Xiance has a bad stomach and Zhu Jian's penetration of some advanced concepts, he is still as big as a fight, and he wants to cry without tears, fortunately, the emperor is a person who understands and understands his difficulties very well, and does not set a time limit for him.

It is said that ten years of army and one hundred years of navy, no matter how anxious Zhu Jian is, he can only endure it obediently, patiently waiting for his sea wolf fleet to grow and grow slowly.

Zheng Zhilong's toss did cause heavy losses to the coastal shippers, and also angered them, they formed an anti-Zheng alliance, paid for killers, invited pirates to kill Zheng Zhilong, stirred up the people to make trouble, put pressure on the government, and wrote a letter of impeachment.

Zheng Zhilong had already taken a countermeasure and took out a lot of money to appease the people, he usually helped the poor people, and his reputation was very good, and he was unanimously supported by the poor people.

Putting pressure on the government? Just kidding, the Son of Heaven's "Forbidden Sea Order" has just been promulgated, who dares to commit a crime against the wind? At most, they pleaded with Zheng Zhilong in private, but they were all closed, and the guards of the Zheng Mansion told him that their general had gone to sea, and it was estimated that it would take a few months to come back.

Zheng Zhilong is determined to hug Zhu Jian's dragon legs, naturally he is not afraid of those powerful businessmen, nor is he afraid of those civil officials impeaching him, because the mastermind behind the scenes is the current Son of Heaven, even if the Son of Heaven is not honest and sells him, he has a way out and continues to be as free as his big pirate.

Now the biggest headache is Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan, he is the number one, and no one under his officials dares to talk crookedly in front of him, but he can't stand the bitter pleading of those powerful businessmen begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and he is almost collapsed. He knew in his heart that without the support of these gentry and powerful people, it would be difficult for the local chief executive to govern his own jurisdiction, but Zheng Zhilong made it clear that he wanted to work against these powerful businessmen, and there seemed to be something wrong here.

Among the officials who can climb to the position of governor of a province, which one is not an old fritter who has been crawling in the officialdom for many years? When the "Sea Ban Order" of the Son of Heaven was sent to Fujian, Xiong Wencan took the announcement and looked at it for a long time, wondering what the Son of Heaven meant.

"Forbidden Sea Order" is Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sung and distributed, until the end of the Ming Dynasty has not been canceled, Emperor Chongzhen sang the new "Forbidden Sea Order" content is completely copied from the old "Forbidden Sea Order", not a word has changed, the content has not changed, if there is a change, it is more severe in terms of punishment, Xiong Wencan can not guess the true intention of the Son of Heaven, but can smell a strong murderous intention.

Your Majesty wants to ...... Want to get to the rhythm of things?
