Text Chapter 1011 What do you think of Zheng Zhilong?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Li Xiang wanted revenge, he also knew very well that many things were no longer his decision.  Now that he has surrendered to the crown prince and become a subject of the Song Empire, whatever he wants to do in the future, all official matters must be approved by the crown prince.

    Therefore, even though Li Xiang hated Zheng Zhilong to the core, he still suppressed the hatred in his heart and nodded and agreed.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Your Highness, I know what can and cannot be done.¡±

    Of course, Zhao Hongyu also knows how unforgettable Li Xiang¡¯s hatred for Zheng Zhilong is.

    Therefore, it is impossible for him not to give Li Xiang a little hope.

    What's more, in the east, Zheng Zhilong's existence is indeed a great threat to Zhao Hongyu.

    So, if Zheng Zhilong¡¯s sub-forces are not dealt with, Zhao Hongyu will not feel very at ease.

    Of course, Zheng Zhilong does not have to die, but the Zheng family fleet he left at sea must be dealt with.  Zhao Hongyu could not allow this fleet to have influence and momentum to monopolize the trading rights of the Eastern seas under his nose.

    Otherwise, will your own fleet sail in the Eastern Sea in the future and you will have to pay protection fees to the Zheng family¡¯s fleet?

    If you don¡¯t pay this fee, others will learn not to pay it. What do you want the Zheng family to do?

    When the time comes, people¡¯s hearts will disperse, but don¡¯t gather together.

    So, a conflict will definitely break out between Zhao Hongyu and Zheng Zhilong.

    ??This is something you can even think about with your butt.

    ¡°If Zhao Hongyu had not appeared in this era and had not come to the East, then there would be no need to worry about these things.

    However, now that he is here, this matter cannot be avoided.

    However, this is all a matter for the future. Zhao Hongyu feels that what he should do immediately is to go to the Ming Dynasty to resolve the immigration issue.

    ?Then he was dealing with this guy Zheng Zhilong.

    As long as Zheng Zhilong is solved, there will be no such obstacles in immigrating in the future.

    If Zheng Zhilong disappears in the Eastern Sea, or his Zheng family fleet is destroyed, then the Song Empire fleet will be the only one in this area.

    Hehe, even though this is still an ancient time, many things in this era can also make a lot of money.

    ¡°Just by doing nothing every month and collecting protection fees at sea, we can collect a lot of money.  It is equivalent to saying that the Song Empire has opened up another source of wealth. What is wrong with such a thing?

    "Lao Li, don't worry. We can't conflict with Zheng Zhilong at the moment, but I promise you that as long as I go to the Ming Dynasty and negotiate the immigration matter with the court, I can let you go and deal with Zheng Zhilong.  But before that, you¡¯d better not provoke Zheng Zhilong.¡±

    Li Xiang also heard what the crown prince meant.

    That is to say, in fact, Zheng Zhilong will definitely make some moves in the future. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and the crown prince is not very relieved about Zheng Zhilong.

    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not a good time to touch Zheng Zhilong yet.

    Therefore, Li Xiang could only endure it for a while.

    There is nothing Li Xiang cannot accept about this arrangement.

    "Your Highness, of course there is no problem if you don't take the initiative to provoke Zheng Zhilong. But what I'm worried about is that Zheng Zhilong may come to cause trouble in the short term. After all, we killed one of his twelve bosses on Amami Island this time. He can't  You can swallow this breath. After all, if he doesn¡¯t seek revenge from us, who will be able to convince him in the future?¡±

    As an old pirate leader who once dominated the sea, Li Xiang is very clear about the ins and outs of this place.

    "Well, this is really an issue that needs to be considered carefully."

    Zhao Hongyu fell silent after hearing this.

    Yes, this point reminded by Li Xiang needs to be paid attention to.

    This time Zheng Zhilong defeated a leader like Wang Renzeng, which was a big blow to his prestige.

    You must know that although Zheng Zhilong has not yet unified the Eastern Sea and has become a veritable maritime overlord.  But now in everyone's eyes, he is like a future overlord of the sea.

    At such a moment, when something like this happens, where do you want Zheng Zhilong to put his face?

    joke!

    You know, when living here in the East, face is as important as life.

     Not only those men who followed Zheng Zhilong to make a living, but also all the maritime merchants who had to pay him protection fees. I don¡¯t know how many people were staring at Zheng Zhilong to see what kind of reaction he would have.

    If you don¡¯t take any action, what will the outside world and your own people think?

    Everyone will think, is Zheng Zhilong scared?

    Or is it because he is too weak?

    When people¡¯s hearts become like this, it will be difficult to control.

    Because even within Li Xiang¡¯s group, they are not monolithic.

    This situation is the same as that of Li Xiang¡¯s group.

    Although the main force is the Zheng family fleet, the small pirates under other vassals add up to a considerable force.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t show a little bit of courage to everyone, how are you going to scare these people in the future?

    You know, basically everyone who makes a living on the sea is an unruly guy.

    They were able to take refuge in Zheng Zhilong, wasn¡¯t it because Zheng Zhilong was ruthless, powerful, and very powerful?

    The world of pirates is a world that emphasizes the law of the jungle. When you are strong, of course many people will join you.  But once you show your weakness, the big guy will abandon you, or even turn around to bite you.

    This has nothing to do with morality or immorality, this is the naked reality.

    ??Didn¡¯t Li Xiang encounter such a situation during the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong?

    Because he was constantly defeated by Zheng Zhilong, Li Xiang's strength slowly declined.  Those who used to follow Li Xiang, or even vassalized him, all left Li Xiang's organization and joined Zheng Zhilong's team.

    So much so that even Li Xiang¡¯s brothers abandoned him and fell into the arms of Zheng Zhilong.

    The reason why Li Xiang's congregation rebelled against their relatives was because Li Xiang was no longer able to survive. He became weak and at the same time, he became weak and no longer so strong.

    Therefore, if Zheng Zhilong has no performance in this matter.

    ? Then it will be seen as a sign of weakness by others.

    In the world of pirates, another meaning of weakness is that everyone can bully me.

    Therefore, when Zheng Zhilong faced Wang Renzeng¡¯s murder, he would definitely not remain indifferent.

    A retaliatory attack is bound to happen.

    At the same time, we also took this opportunity to test the strength of Zhao Hongyu.

    ¡° If Zheng Zhilong realizes that Zhao Hongyu¡¯s side is not very strong, then he will definitely devote all his strength to deal with Zhao Hongyu and Li Xiang.

    After all, after solving Zhao Hongyu, he, Zheng Zhilong, will unify the Eastern Sea and become a veritable king of the sea.

    It is impossible for Zheng Zhilong to refuse such a big temptation.

    What¡¯s more, there are huge benefits in it.

    At the same time, there is another point that will make Zheng Zhilong crazy.

    That is the land of Kyushu that has been ceded by the Japanese.

    Yes, Kyushu has been ceded to the Japanese, and the Japanese emperor and shogun have stamped and signed the edict.

    In other words, Kyushu is no longer the territory of the Japanese. If anyone has the ability to take it from Zhao Hongyu in the future, it will belong to him.

    If Zheng Zhilong can defeat Zhao Hongyu and Li Xiang, then Jiuzhou will definitely become Zheng Zhilong's bag.

    By then, Kyushu will become Zheng Zhilong¡¯s private territory, which will be used to build a small country for his family.  Or give it to the Ming Dynasty, which would be very good.

    "And if it were handed over to the Ming Dynasty, it would be regarded as a contribution to the expansion of territory.

    Now the entire Ming Dynasty has not achieved such great results, if Zheng Zhilong can really do this.

    "Maybe, it's not impossible to get a grandpa or something like that."

    In an instant, Zhao Hongyu thought a lot.

    At the same time, he also analyzed clearly the probability that there will be a big conflict between Zheng Zhilong and himself.

    In the end, Zhao Hongyu came to the conclusion that it was impossible to reconcile the conflict between him and Zheng Zhilong.  Because there are too many interest factors involved, and neither party can give up.

    So in the end, they can only eliminate one of them.

    This is the conclusion Zhao Hongyu finally came to.

    In this case, Zhao Hongyu also thought clearly.

    ??Besides, Zhao Hongyu is not really afraidZhilong, he has a heaven-defying cheating device at hand, and he also has the backing of a slowly developing country that already has the prototype of a powerful empire.

    Therefore, he has no reason to be afraid of a little Zheng Zhilong.

    At the same time, it¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t have a fleet on hand.

    So what does he have to fear?

    ¡°For the time being, he doesn¡¯t want to have an all-out war with Zheng Zhilong.

    ¡° Moreover, Zheng Zhilong is now the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy. Maybe this guy will start a war with him in the name of the imperial court.  If such a situation really occurs, wouldn't it become a war between himself and the Ming Dynasty?

    ¡°I can look down on Zheng Zhilong, but when it is possible to face the Ming Dynasty, which is the most powerful in this era.  , Zhao Hongyu needs to look at this issue carefully.

    "Zheng Zhilong will definitely come to cause trouble. If he comes, let him know how powerful he is. At the same time, take back Naha. This is a very important place. We must take it into our own hands." Zhao Hongyu thought clearly.  After that, he said to Li Xiang.  "However, the strength of the Kyushu Navy is still insufficient at the moment, so we cannot start a full-scale war with Zheng Zhilong. With only forty-nine imperial warships, I think it is still a bit short against Zheng Zhilong." (To be continued. Please.  Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
