Chapter 40: My Dragon Banner

"The Dutch are going to land in Fuzhou?"

Xiong Wencan had already fallen on the threshold of Zhu Youzhen's Fuzhou study several times, and this time was no exception, he was holding a letter from the Dutch East India Company, the official document was not Wengong, and the national letter was not the national letter.

"Wang Chengen, I sawed off this threshold. Wen Can sit down first, I still have some urgent matters to deal with here."

Zhu Youzhen had just signed the document sent back by Mo Jinghui. The Fu boat next to Sanzhu Island fired three green salutes, and the Jinyi Wei Fanzi who was waiting on the Humen Bund Fort also sent the same salute flowers, and then the Jinyi Wei Fanzi of Guangzhou Prefecture traveled day and night, and sent the news of Sanzhu Island's success to Fuzhou Mansion day and night by land.

Mo Jinghui appeared in Zhu Youzhen's big study with the results.

"Send Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Jing back, now that Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu are gone, it is time for Zheng Zhibao to compete for the throne." Zhu Youzhen arranged the first order after Zheng Zhilong's death.

"It may not be possible to suppress the other pirates of the Thirteen Lines. These people were all killed with Zheng Zhilong's bloody wind, and it is estimated that it is difficult to accept Zheng Zhibao or Zheng Jing. Do you need our support for manpower?"

"No, you don't!" Zhu Youzhen knocked on the table.

"It's too late for you to rest, Jinyiwei has to keep up with this event in full. If you don't care, Dongchang's manpower in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou will also be mobilized. Zheng Zhibao's inability to receive it is the result we want. Zheng Zhilong's death is a spark that we cast in the powder keg of pirates traveling outside the Ming Dynasty along the entire coast. Our goal is clear: to blow up the monolithic hordes of pirates. Whether it is occupying the island as the king or going out to sea to rob, the more chaotic the situation, the more in line with our current interests. Do you understand? The Jinyi guards need to cut off all their dirty hands on the mainland, and you don't have to worry about the affairs at sea. As long as these pirates leave the mainland, they will all be handed over to Dongchang."

Zhu Youjian saw Xiong Wencan's hurried demeanor, and knew that his affairs there would not be small. So he didn't let Mo Jinghui put forward his own opinions, but said his own arrangement in one go.

"I understand. Let them be chaotic, but they can only be chaotic in the open sea, not in the mainland."

"Yes!" Zhu Youzhen nodded.

"In the name of Zheng Zhibao, directly confiscate the legitimate business of the Thirteen Banks in Daming, and you are in charge of violence, the people on the side of the Four Seas and Shunzhi are in charge of business, and these resources and channels will be occupied first."

"Whoa!" Mo Jinghui nodded again. She found that in fact, many things benefited from His Majesty's vision and insight. There are some things that I can't figure out in the early stage, but when I look back, His Majesty's insight has never been wrong.

"Does Zheng Zhibao need to send someone to follow?"

"No need, from today onwards, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Jing will be one of the pirates of the South China Sea. If you catch a thief, you tell him yourself, and if you encounter the Ming navy from now on, it is best to take a detour. It's non-negotiable."

"In the end, you're sure to go back to Jingshi. Jinyiwei's maritime transport from Quanzhou to Guangzhou should also be established first. The same acquaintance here has already asked Li Ruolian to pass, he must be chosen by the students who graduated from the academy, and you can also help me supervise it. Alright, you can just leave."

After speaking, he didn't even pay attention to Mo Jinghui's gift, but directly turned to Xiong Wencan and Wen Tiren. It can be seen that Wen Tiren and Xiong Wencan are both under a lot of pressure, and Xiong Wencan's already rough face and eyebrows have become a Sichuan character.

"Say it!" Prosecutor General Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief.

"Eight armed merchant ships of the Dutch East India Company appeared off the docks of Fuzhou Prefecture, and sent this letter to the prefect's yamen, saying that they hoped that their soldiers would come ashore for repairs."

"Have you asked Echo for her opinion?" Knowing what the Baron's status was in the East India Company? Does his ability to come here today have anything to do with Director Stan? Eight armed merchant ships? What is this for?"

"Well~~~~ Your Majesty, the minister will do it." Xiong Wencan squirmed for a while.

"Forget it, it can be regarded as sudden

bar. Xuandu Master Sun Chengzong and Ai Ke of the Four Seas Commercial Bank met with him. You put ......" Zhu Youzhen thought about it for a while, and felt that Jin Yiwei still left this matter.

"Let Mo Jinghui come back again."

Soon, the people were all together.

"I've been in contact with the people of the Dutch East India Company, based on the information about their meetings and decisions. They are currently all receiving the legacy of Count Stan's power. According to people I know, Nanyang is a bit of a loss for Dutch companies, so they will concentrate on building the strongholds they already occupy this year. Strive to build a fortress that cannot be smashed. As for Count Stan, his place is now being applied for by three people. Except for Earl Stan's merry Lady Haojiali, no one cares about Earl Stan's affairs."

"What kind of thing is this?"

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen handed the Dutchman letter to Echo.

"Baron Radwan Begi? Shouldn't he be in the East Indies? He is one of the three vying for Earl Stan's shareholder."

"It seems that you are going to accumulate a little capital for yourself in Daming?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Wei Chen doesn't think so, what can eight armed merchant ships do?"

"Unless it's all soldiers. Ho ho, come to the land, and Da Ming will let him know who is who." Wen Tiren said. After so many days, he basically had some basic understanding of ships.

The study of the Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish armies had already been carried out in the previous year. For the plate armor they were proud of, since the breakthrough in grenades and artillery, the academy believed that on land, the Ming army could completely defeat the Dutch army.

"Then leave the matter to the Overseer." When Zhu Youzhen left, he brought more than 1,200 troops, plus the local soldiers in Fuzhou Prefecture, and the Dutch who had a few boats could still do it.

"Evacuate the place where their ship can only be bombarded, and use the original Franco cannon of your Fuzhou Mansion to provoke them to go ashore." Zhu Youzhen turned around and instructed Xiong Wencan.

"Tell Song Yingxing that I have led eight armed merchant ships to the coast, and the things at the bottom of his pressure box should also be taken out."

"Your Majesty."

Sun Chengzong said slowly at this time.

"If they really want to attack Fuzhou, it won't be as simple as eight armed merchant ships. According to Echo, the old minister thought that they would be just a feint to cover up their other offensives?"

"Huh?" Zhu Youzhen occupied the side of Sun Chengzong, and in front of him was a map of the South China Sea.

"What do you want?"

"This place is still capable of being defended by the Ming Dynasty, or is it possible for the forces around the Ming Dynasty to hold on?" Sun Chengzong was also asking.

"Then it won't be too far."

"Here!"

Sun Chengzong pointed his hand to the position of the Penghu Islands.

"There are the people of the Ming Dynasty here, but there is no official mansion of the Ming Dynasty, mainly a place where a few pirates gather. If it is brought down here, it is better to give an explanation to the board of directors, even if it is revenge on Daming, Daming will not care too much."

"And." Sun Chengzong continued to analyze.

"This place is so important. Occupying this place, you can reach the Matsu Islands, Dachen Island and Zhoushan Islands to the north. It can also control all routes to the south. At the same time, it can also remotely control trade with Dongying and North Korea."

Zhu Youzhen suddenly came to his senses.

The Dutch are very clever, and if you dare to drop a son in my sphere of influence, I will hope that you will be able to take advantage of it. What's more, the power of the Ming Mansion has not yet arrived. These eight armed merchant ships are here to draw attention. As long as Da Ming doesn't pay attention, their main opponent is the pirates on the island.

After that, the two met with a wry smile.

Sun Chengzong finally understood the reason why His Majesty the Emperor was anxious.

Zhu Youzhen finally let his military head and assistant understand the pattern of the world.

If you lose a first hand, you can't make up for it with no number of back moves.

"This must not be lost! handful

I planted my royal flag in Penghu, but it really can't be done, I will go there myself."

Zhu Youzhen was talking about Penghu, but he knocked Wen Tiren, Xiong Wencan, and Sun Chengzong heavily in Taiwan.
