Chapter 36 Dai Ran Planning

On the beach in Fuzhou, Dai Ran had to be busy with the training of these recruits during the day, and at night he had to familiarize himself with all the documents and materials handed over by Mo Jinghui, and Jinyiwei had already set up a command post for this operation not far from the beach.

"Over the years, Zheng Zhilong has had his own sphere of influence in Luzon, North Port, Nagasaki, Mumbai, Malacca, and Cambodia?"

"A fleet of more than 3,000 ships, large and small?"

Mo Jinghui didn't look up either, and continued to sort out the charts for him.

"So why do you think His Majesty is so jealous of him? Even when he asked the court to recruit him several times?" Mo Jinghui said coldly. Her goal is simple, that is, Dai Ran must pay attention to this action no matter what.

Dai Ran, whom His Majesty recalled this time, is very much in line with her requirements for this operation. Familiar with sea conditions, skilled in boating, familiar with all kinds of weapons, and good at leading a team. The only feeling she had was because Dai Ran had been in the army for too long, and she was unusually obedient to orders, but she was not active enough. She knew that the actions of the Jinyi Guard were completely different from the actions of the army. The army's plan of action is stronger, except for the commander, everyone else does not need to take the initiative, just follow the step-by-step plan. It is impossible to have a complete plan for Jinyiwei's actions at all, and the situation on the scene is varied, and the on-site command needs to have full initiative, otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve the expected results.

"Why? Why don't you just recruit it, we are so short of a fleet now, and even less of power. With these 3,000 ships, if nothing else, it's enough to be scary." When Dai Ran thought of their actions in the Old Port, he felt a little pity.

"If we don't want our own navy, then Zhao'an is indeed a good way. But if we also want our own navy, do you think these fleets are still a good thing?"

"Dongchang came a little earlier than you and me, and contacted more than thirty large and small pirates along the coast. Guess what?"

Mo Jinghui threw Dongchang's information about coastal piracy to him. She didn't expect Dai Ran to read more, but just turned to the last page and pointed to the conclusion part.

"Dongchang believes that under the control of the two brothers, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu, the pirates along the coast are like a monolith. There is no gap in the use of point reversal and separation meter. Even if there are complaints from pirates, there is currently a lack of strength and support among coastal fishermen and merchants."

"It cost a lot of money." What Dai Ran saw was the cost of coastal piracy on the last page of Dongchang, with 270,000 taels of silver.

Syllable! Mo Jinghui directly pressed the report with one hand, and drew that line black with a brush.

"The Imperial Court spends more on your navy! Are you clear now? The imperial court has decided to make your navy bigger and stronger, and Zheng Zhilong is the ......."

"A stumbling block to our progress?"

Mo Jinghui shook her head and said solemnly, "It's not a stumbling block, it's a life-threatening rope. As long as this Humen operation can be successful, within a short period of time, the coastal areas will again become an era of great power for hegemony, and as long as they are in need, our opportunity will come, and the opportunity for the navy will come."

"Why?"

Mo Jinghui's hands were very sharp, and he quickly marked the sea charts around Humen in Guangzhou Mansion and placed them in front of Dai Ran.

"The above is the importance of this Humen operation, I know that you are a competitive person, why do you know, because we are a kind of person, I am also a competitive character. So, if such an important matter falls into the hands of you and me, we cannot tolerate failure."

Then, she pointed to Sanzhu Island outside Humen and said to Dai Ran:

"What's even more terrifying is that this is information that we haven't been able to get our hands on easily. If you mess up this time, to be honest, next time you will basically not have the slightest chance to kill Zheng Zhilong except for the fleet bombardment."

"Zheng Zhilong's favorite woman is his mother, and when his mother passed away, Zheng Zhilong was still fighting the Portuguese in Dongying. When I heard the news, I fainted. Then, I let go of the victory on the scene and went home overnight to mourn my wife. The Niangniang Temple on this island was actually built by Zheng Zhilong in order to pay tribute to his wife.

」

Dai Ran didn't know that these news came from the mouth of Zheng Zhibao, who was slightly drunk after drinking.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu manipulated the entire fleet and the business of the Thirteen Elements. According to Zheng Zhilong, it is enough for the Zheng family to have one dragon and one tiger, and the rest of the brothers are all existences that he doesn't look down on at all.

Who doesn't want to be the boss of the dragon? This is what Zheng Zhibao and Xiong Wencan revealed when they were drinking. But Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu, who created the overall pattern of the entire Zheng family, are still on the stage, and the two brothers "Long Zhi and Hu Yong" are there, even if Zheng Zhibao is given a hundred guts, he can only rub a little oil and water on land.

At this time, Xiong Wencan seemed to be able to see the raging flames in Zheng Zhibao's eyes, and he seemed to be unable to help but want to jump on the wine table and ask Xiong Wencan, why hadn't he killed these two yet.

At this time, Zheng Zhibao recalled with tears in his eyes that his aunt was kind to him. When his eldest mother is away, he is the only one in the family who is by his aunt's side. He would never mention the punch he threw at him when Zheng Zhilong rushed back. At that moment, he felt that he should go to the funeral of his eldest mother.

"On October 15 of that year, we went to Sanzhu Island in Humen to build the Niangniang Temple. Fifty veterans were left behind to guard the temple for the eldest lady." Although Zheng Zhibao said that he was drunk, his speech was still very clear.

"Every year on October 15th, my eldest brother and second brother will bring two boatloads of brothers from my own family to pay tribute to my eldest mother. It's a pity...... After three years, they won't let me go."

When he said this, Zheng Zhibao had a sad expression, as if he wanted to fly to Sanzhu Island immediately and light a stick of incense for his eldest mother.

"If anyone can represent me, it's my true brother." Zheng Zhibao used a sentence as the end of his today's drinking talk.

Mo Jinghui once again pointed out the location of Sanzhu Island.

"This is an unknown island, very close to the mainland, two hours away from Zheng Zhilong's dock. Therefore, the best time for you is on the evening of the first day, or at the time of the sacrifice."

"Can you take a look ahead of time?" Dai Ran asked.

"It's okay to dress up as a fisherman. Don't want anything else, these people have very smart noses, and if you don't pay attention to it, you won't find such an opportunity again."

"It's a typical raid. If the explosives don't work, I'll need to take someone to force a raid and decapitate them."

"These old thieves are very old, but they are very experienced."

"More gunpowder, can you Jinyiwei handle 2,000 catties of explosives?"

"There's nothing wrong with gunpowder, but it's a problem with how to place it. This kind of island should be all rocks."

"I'm trying to figure it out. Zheng Zhilong has never seen anyone."

"I'll paint you a portrait, and you can confirm it yourself. In addition to Zheng Zhilong, I can also give you a portrait of the big bear, and according to Zheng Zhibao's opinion, he should definitely appear next to Zheng Zhilong."

"This is also very strange, why didn't any other pirates think of killing Zheng Zhilong here?"

"You're from the court, you don't know about pirates, but they're a lot like farmers. Those who believe will believe it, and those who don't believe it will not believe in any of them. Besides, a pirate with this strength would have already succeeded, wouldn't he?"

As the two of them spoke, they also put down the paperwork in their hands, left the heavily secured room, and walked to the side of the sea. At night, the sea looks much quieter and gentler than during the day.

In the distance, three lucky ships stopped not far away.
