Fujian, Haicheng County.

In the county seat, hundreds of people gathered on the streets, dragging their families and mouths, and walked in the direction of the port.

Around these people were soldiers in improvised armor and armed with spears and swords, and occasionally soldiers on horseback passed by, shouting on horseback.

"Passing on the order of the great commander, anyone who is willing to move to Taiwan will be given three taels of silver, and each household will be given a ploughing ox and ten acres of land."

"Passing on the order of the great commander, anyone who is willing to move to Taiwan will be given three taels of silver, and each household will be given a ploughing ox and ten acres of land."

When the people who dragged their families heard this shout, they marched three points faster.

Go to Taiwan.

If you go to Taiwan, you can survive.

At Longxi Wharf, a Zhengzi banner blown by a hunt waved in the wind, an umbrella cover for shading was opened under the banner of Daxu, and a middle-aged man sat in a recliner with a low table next to him, placing tea and snacks.

Around the man, there were nearly a thousand guards, all of whom were tall and strong.

"Big brother, those Dutchmen came here again a few days ago."

A young man walked up to the man and squatted down, and whispered, "They brought Cohen's words, saying that they could make you the new director of their Dutch East India Company, divide Taiwan in two, and you will be the governor." ”

"Director? What kind of thing is a director, Lao Tzu is almost thirty years old this year, is he still not sensible. ”

Zheng Zhilong, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes and sneered: "Zhihu, don't listen to that group of red-haired devils, in this world, only those who have big fists are called sensible, and what others give is useless."

And Cohen's old thing, who can't do that group of English in India, came to fight us, what's the matter, I think we Han people are easy to bully. ”

Zheng Zhihu took a sip disdainfully: "As far as their ability is concerned, let alone put it on land, even at sea, we are not afraid, last year was their ship fast, otherwise we will definitely wipe it out." ”

"Hmm." Zheng Zhilong snorted in his nose: "To those groups of Henan, the Netherlands, Lao Tzu always can't read it correctly, and tell those Dutch people that Taiwan will always be the Taiwan of our Han people, and it will always be the Taiwan of my Ming Dynasty, and it will not be their turn to interfere."

They were ordered to withdraw from several ports in Keelung within a month, otherwise Lao Tzu would know them, and the artillery on Lao Tzu's ship would not know. ”

"Okay, I'll go." Zheng Zhihu stood up, turned around and stopped, hesitated for a moment and paused: "There is another thing, Xiong Wencan sent someone." ”

Zheng Zhilong was much more serious this time, and the whole person sat up: "What did he send someone to do?" ”

Xiong Wencan is the governor of Fujian and the second in command.

But he also has an unknown identity, he is Zheng Zhilong's eight-worship eldest brother!

This secret, even Zheng Zhihu's younger brother doesn't know.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was so serious, where did Zheng Zhihu dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "Xiong Wencan said, the little emperor on our head sent Qin to send Yushi to Nanjing, and now he has come to Fuzhou again, and wants to recruit us, Xiong Wencan wants to ask what you mean." ”

"He couldn't have said that." Zheng Zhilong slapped Zheng Zhihu directly on the head: "You kid be honest, what Xiong Wencan said." ”

Zheng Zhihu was much more honest: "The original words are: 'Although the country is weak, it is the homeland after all, and although Taiwan is good, it is the end of the world." If the emperor is sincere, he hopes that the official will consider it carefully, and do not leave his hometown and give up his homeland. 'Big brother, that's what I said, Xiong Wencan wants you to accept Zhao'an. ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was speechless for a long time, Zheng Zhihu muttered on the side: "I heard that he Xiong Wencan is about to take over the position of governor of Fujian, and he must be reluctant to leave, so what can we do if we stay here."

Those officials scolded us for being pirates at every turn, dogs, and they looked down on us at this time, so let me say that it is better to go to Taiwan.

Big brother, we have more than 700 sea ships, more than 30,000 troops, and more than 200 large and small artillery, even the Dutch East India Company can't do us, and their group of red hairy Yi can take down more than a dozen countries in the South Seas, and we can at least take half of them.

When the time comes, big brother, you will be the emperor of the founding of the country in Nanyang, and you will not be a hundred times stronger than being angry here. ”

"Fart, fuck off."

Zheng Zhilong kicked Zheng Zhihu on his back and faced the sky, and scolded: "Lao Tzu is a Ming man, not a group of barbarians who are home from all over the world, do you know what it means to return to the roots." Born in Si and died in Si, the ancestral hall of the ancestors is still here, where do you let Lao Tzu go. ”

"Didn't you live in Japan for seven or eight years?" Zheng Zhihu got up and began to mumble again: "Let me say that we are not as good as Japan." ”

"Hey!"

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's glare, Zheng Zhihu turned his head and ran: "I'll go and bring Xiong Wencan's people." ”

"Bastard thing." Zheng Zhilong scolded with a smile, then sat down again and shouted, "Zhong Bin." ”

A man standing not far away came over when he heard this.

He is Zheng Zhilong's deputy general and the second leader of Zheng Zhilong's forces, but he is not a Chinese, strictly speaking, a Japanese overseas Chinese.

Zhong Bin grew up in Japan, was once the right-hand man of Japanese Chinese businessman Li Dan, Zheng Zhilong helped Li Dan do business during his residence in Japan, and was considered Li Dan's half of his adopted son, and later Li Dan died, because he had no children under his knees, he gave all the property to Zheng Zhilong.

The two are such a relationship.

"The little emperor in Beijing sent someone here, he may want to recruit us, our family has a big business, and there are hundreds of thousands of mouths who eat with us, I can't have the final say alone, what do you think."

Zhong Bin said without thinking about it: "It's good for the Grand Commander to have an idea." ”

"It's not going to work." Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "When my uncle died of illness, I said that this family business has half of yours, if you want, we can talk to the imperial court, if you don't want to, let's go back to Taiwan." ”

"Zhao'an ......" Zhong Bin looked in the direction of Beijing: "Great Commander, the situation of the imperial court is not very good now, I heard that there is another war in the north, and the Houjin people have surrounded Jinzhou, and the onslaught is in danger for several days."

Moreover, the inland has been in drought for many years, and the people are all over the place, and even coastal places like Fujian are full of red soil, and the people live on grass roots and bark, otherwise, we would not have been able to take more than 20,000 people from Quanzhou to Taiwan to reclaim the famine.

Fujian is still like this, and the inland is so severe.

The court has changed another emperor, a little guy who is only a teenager when I heard it, does he have the ability to deal with the current situation, return to the court, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to do things in the future.

And we are now incompatible with the Dutch, in case the court tosses something out at this time, such as letting us go north to fight Houjin, then do we listen or not? ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded frequently when he listened: "What you said also makes sense, so let's talk to the imperial court, if we can be given relative autonomy, we will be obedient, if we don't want to, then let's go to Taiwan and get rid of the Dutch in Taiwan first." ”

"LinkedIn."

"Okay, you go get busy."

The pier is quiet and the sea breeze is light.
