Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sea breeze is still blowing on the sea surface, and countless seagulls are hovering in the sky. This kind of scenery is very common on the sea, and it seems that this kind of scenery has not changed since ancient times.  A large ship was sailing on the sea, the sails were raised high, and the whole ship was moving rapidly under the influence of the wind.  A young man stood on the bow of the boat, wearing a Confucian shirt. He looked like a young man out for fun.  There was a sword hanging on his waist, and his whole person had an aura of being out of the dust, as if he might be blown away by the wind at any time.  This person is none other than Zheng Zhilong who rushed back from Japan.  Regarding Li Dan's death, Zheng Zhilong felt very sad, but it was quickly replaced by excitement.  In such a short period of time, his adopted brother Yan Siqi died, and his godfather Li Dan also died.  The two big backers disappeared in an instant, which made Zheng Zhilong feel confused for a moment, but soon he felt relaxed, a kind of relaxation that came from his buttocks.  After accepting Yan Siqi's power and then Li Dan's power, Zheng Zhilong felt unprecedentedly happy.  From now on, I don¡¯t have to look at anyone¡¯s face anymore, and I don¡¯t have to worry about anyone anymore. I can look forward to a great career!  Originally, Zheng Zhilong did not want to rush back to Taiwan so quickly. He wanted to integrate Li Dan's warships and bring them back to Taiwan together.  However, contrary to expectations, Zheng Zhilong had to pay attention to the news coming from Taiwan.  When the Spaniards arrived in Taiwan, there were also the Dutch!  Thinking of these two opposing people, Zheng Zhilong wanted to laugh out loud.  I no longer need to look at the Spaniards¡¯ faces, nor the Dutch¡¯s faces anymore, my time is coming!  In fact, Zheng Zhilong has a greater wish in his heart, which is to dominate the Taiwan Strait!  Whether they are Spaniards or Dutch, they will all look at me, Zheng Zhilong, for I am the uncrowned king here!  Although he failed to bring back Li Dan's fleet, Zheng Zhilong still has the confidence!  Soon the warship sailed into Taiwan Port, which was as busy as ever.  Merchant ships were coming in and out!  But when they saw this warship, all the ships were busy avoiding it, whether it was a merchant ship loading cargo or a warship starting to show off its power.  The reason is very simple. A large flag with the word Zheng on this ship is fluttering in the wind. Everyone knows that this is Shiba Zhi's warship.  There is no difference between doing business at sea and on land. News is always the most important.  This is the basis for businessmen¡¯s survival!  Zheng Zhilong consolidated the power at sea, and Shiba Zhi's warships were overwhelming in the harbor. At this time, no one wanted to become the target of Zheng Zhilong's power.  There are three things a new official should do when he takes office, not to mention a big boss like Zheng Zhilong, who obviously needs a good opportunity.  At the port, a team of 100 people is standing here.  Waiting and welcoming Zheng Zhilong.  There are four people at the head. The two people on the left are all dressed in strong clothes, with belts around their waists, and all carry broadswords.  He has a big beard and looks somewhat similar to Zheng Zhilong, but these two men are much wilder. These two men are the leaders of this army.  Zheng Zhilong¡¯s two younger brothers, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao.  There are also two people on the left, one wearing a long gown and a folding fan. This person is Chen Zhongji, Yan Siqi's first counselor.  Beside him, a man was fighting with an expressionless face. He was wearing a wide kimono, wearing clogs on his feet, and holding a sword in his arms. He could tell from his identity.  This is a Japanese ronin.  This man is Japan¡¯s very famous Japanese pirate leader, Ichiro Ryuzawa!  Ichiro Ryuzawa is a great disciple of the Iga Ninja sect in Japan. For some unknown reasons, he defected to the sea and became the leader of the Japanese pirates.  Because Yan Siqi saved his life, he became Yan Siqi's retainer and led the ronin under Yan Siqi!  These four people are the four commanders under Zheng Zhilong, and they already have the titles of the Four King Kongs!  Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the ship.  Looking at the crowd greeting me on the shore, I felt extremely proud and a surge of heroism rose in my heart!  The soldiers and horses are strong, like the sun rising in the east!  "See the Commander-in-Chief!" Wait until Zheng Zhilong boarded the dock.  The people who greeted them saluted together and shouted loudly!  At this time, there were four people following Zheng Zhilong. These four people were the Four King Kongs under Li Dan. I believe it won't be long before the newly formed Eight King Kongs will become famous far and wide.  These four people are the two brothers of the Li family, Li Jin and Li Yin, nephews of Li Dan, and are collectively known as the two generals of gold and silver.  Li Dan handed over his power to Zheng Zhilong with the intention of taking into account his two nephews.  The other two people are two Japanese, Yagyu Jubei and Kobayashi Masaru, two retainers recruited by Li Dan.  These two people are both highly skilled in martial arts, and they are also ruthless people!  Zheng Zhilong also values ????these people very much. These will be his future wealth!  Among these four people, Yagyu Jubei is a member of the Yagyu family, and Kobayashi Masano is a ninja of the Fire Crane Sect.  In their eyes, it is the honor of being a ninja to fulfill their master's instructions even if they die.  Since Li Dan asked them to follow Zheng Zhilong before his death, they would have no idea.  But the Li brothersThey didn't think so at all. They were still a little unhappy with Li Dan's actions.  It's just that Li Dan's remaining power is still there, so they don't dare to make mistakes.  If Li Dan handed over his power to Li Zhuguo to inherit, maybe they would have some ideas.  But for Zheng Zhilong, these two people don't have the courage. After so many years, they still know Zheng Zhilong very well.  As Li Dan¡¯s godson, they naturally heard about what Zheng Zhilong did.  When he was working under the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong led his people to fight in the Taiwan Strait.  His opponents included merchants, pirates, and Spaniards.  At that time, Zheng Zhilong was already crossing the Taiwan Strait, and they knew that going against Zheng Zhilong would not end well.  "Okay, brothers, please excuse me!" Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hands, made a gesture of support, and said with a big smile.  The group of people rushed back to Zheng Zhilong¡¯s station on the island. Listening to the shouts of death coming from the training, Zheng Zhilong nodded with satisfaction.  Regarding the previous chaos on the island, Zheng Zhilong immediately corrected it after becoming the leader.  The warships were divided into eighteen branches and named Shibazhi. All of them were used for fighting.  Since it is a battle, it must look like a battle.  With the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong fully understood this truth and must separate!  Those who do business are in charge of business, and those who fight are in charge of fighting.  Merchant ships are used as warships, warships are used as merchant ships, but in the end nothing can be done well.  The one training here now is Zheng Zhilong¡¯s Shiba Zhi!  They must be made into soldiers who can fight, not a group of pirates who kill indiscriminately.  After entering the meeting hall, Zheng Zhilong sat on the main seat as a matter of course, and the eight kings sat on both sides.  The first chair on the left is Li Zhongji.  No one can challenge his position.  This is someone who has the ability to compete with Zheng Zhilong as the eldest brother, but he chose to support Zheng Zhilong.  Below him are the brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao. As for Ichiro Longze, he is standing behind Zheng Zhilong.  The first chair on the right is of course Li Jin, the historical brother, and then his younger brother Li Yin.  Yagyu Jubei and Kobayashi Masaya also stood behind Zheng Zhilong.  As retainers, they have this qualification.  As for the other commanders, they are all standing at the back. They are not qualified to sit here yet.  His eyes swept over all the faces, and Zheng Zhilong was very satisfied!  But he also knew that his forces needed to be integrated.  I'm afraid it will still take some time.  But he has already thought of a way, and that is war!  War is the best way to integrate. Only after experiencing life and death together can these people regard each other as their own.  What's more important is that we need a war, a war to declare our existence to the outside world and a war to establish our authority.  "I've been away for so long, what happened on the island? Brothers, you can come and listen. Let's discuss it together!" After mentally gathering his attention, Zheng Zhilong retracted his thoughts and said with a smile.  "Commander, there is nothing going on on the island. The brothers are training very hard, and our business has not fluctuated much. But there is one thing that the commander still needs to make a decision on, and that is the matter of Spain and the Dutch." Li Zhongji is naturally the first  He is the first person to open his mouth, and he is now recognized as the second best person.  He nodded slowly.  Zheng Zhilong also thought about it. After all, he did not create any hidden dangers by taking over the power.  Whether it was Yan Siqi or Li Dan, I just let nature take its course.  But the Spaniards and the Dutch really made it difficult for Zheng Zhilong to handle it.  "Brother, this matter is actually a good choice. We should cooperate with the Dutch!" It was Zheng Zhihu who spoke.  Unlike Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu is tall and thick.  But if anyone despises him because of his appearance, he will definitely suffer a big loss, because he is a bold and careful person.  Because appearances can be deceiving.  Zheng Zhihu has already made many people suffer!  Zheng Zhilong naturally knew that although his younger brother looked vulgar, he was impeccable in his work, otherwise he would not have handed over such a large fleet to him!  Now that he said that, he must have a reason.  "If you have any ideas, just say it! Let's discuss it and don't be secretive." Zheng Zhilong nodded to his younger brother and said with a smile.  "Yes, eldest brother!" Zheng Zhihu glanced at the people sitting there and said, "The reason is very simple. Both Li Gong and eldest brother have some friendship with the Dutch. Although they are using each other, they have been in peace for so many years.  What's more, they had joined forces with the Dutch to expel the Spanish, so they would definitely hold a grudge." Zheng Zhibao on the other side continued Zheng Zhihu's words, saying: "If we join forces with the Spanish to expel the Dutch, the Spaniards and we will not get along.  Okay. We have gotten along well with the Dutch for so many years, and there is no need to make any changes now.¡± After listening to the words of the two brothers, many people nodded. Obviously, this view is still very important in the eyes of these people.  Makes sense.  But Zheng ZhiNaturally, he would not make such a simple decision. He glanced at the Li brothers on the side and said with a smile: What do you brothers think?  "Brothers Li Jin and Li Yin were slightly stunned. No one expected that Zheng Zhilong would ask him. Originally, the two of them thought that they would need to be on the bench for a while. Looking at Zheng Zhilong's smile, it was obvious that he was concerned about their own emotions. " Li Jin  He frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Commander, the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is very complicated. As far as we know, it is not the Spaniards and the Dutch who are plotting against the Taiwan Strait, and the imperial court is also watching.  "Because they are in the mainland, they know more about the movements of the Ming Dynasty court than Zheng Zhilong and others. After all, whether it is Li Dan or Xu Xinsu, they are all figures who have more or less connections with the court. Seeing the expressions of Zheng Zhilong and others  Turning serious, Li Jincai continued: "We need to take a longer-term view, but I don't think we should take any action now.  It is best not to focus all attention on us, if we are seen as a threat, that is the most dangerous thing about us.  " After listening to Li Jin's words, Zheng Zhilong nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is insightful. He is worthy of being my adoptive father's right-hand man.  " "Brother is so impressed!  "Actually, Li Jin still had something to say, but he didn't say any more. After all, his views were opposite to those of the Zheng brothers. If he ruined the face of these two brothers and just came here, it would not be conducive to harmony. Zheng Zhilong is also smart.  He naturally saw the scruples of the two people, and he didn't force it. After all, it took time to get used to it. Li Zhongji turned his attention to the side. If someone needed to explain the matter, then he was the key.  The most suitable candidate. ¡°Second brother.  Tell me!  Otherwise, these little brats wouldn't understand, they are all stupid.  "Zheng Zhilong said with a smile as he turned his gaze to Li Zhongji. He glanced at Zheng Zhilong helplessly and even gave him a big eye roll. Although his expression was dissatisfied, the smile in his eyes could not be fake. When Zheng Zhilong and others were there,  Japanese sworn brother. Yan Siqi is the eldest, Li Zhongji is the second child, and Zheng Zhilong is the fourth child. However, the third child died during the rebellion, and now the one who can dominate Zheng Zhilong is Li Zhongji.  Very satisfied, after all, this is an honorific for himself. After looking at the people present, Li Zhongji smiled and said: "You always leave this offending matter to me, this time I will give you the treasure of your daughter.  If you give it to me red, I won¡¯t blame you!  "    "well!  The second brother wants to drink.  Of course nothing is impossible.  All the brothers are going, it¡¯s the second brother who invited me!  "Zheng Zhilong was naturally not stingy and followed Li Zhongji's words. "Brothers, our integration of forces a few days ago has been noticed by many people.  The current situation in the Taiwan Strait is complicated, and the Dutch and Spanish may fight at any time, as Brother Li just said.  The imperial court was also watching with eager eyes.  The general situation is like this. At this time, no one wants to be the first, because that will become everyone's goal.  "When everyone had finished laughing, Li Zhongji slowly looked at his mouth and said. "Li Zhongji's voice was not loud, but everyone present listened attentively, for fear of missing a word. After all, Li Zhongji's reputation as a military advisor did not come in vain.  That was established in each battle, and it was very prestigious in the eyes of everyone. ¡°It¡¯s not us who are anxious now, whether it is the Spaniards or the Dutch, they should be anxious.  The Spanish are eager to regain their business in the Taiwan Strait, how can the Dutch return it to them?  The imperial court forced the Dutch to give up Penghu again, and the Dutch were the ones who should be most anxious.  We are in Taiwan now. We need territory, people, and ships. Why are we in a hurry?  "Li Zhongji explained the matter thoroughly with a few simple words. Many people present were big bosses. Li Zhongji made it very clear, and many people nodded clearly. Zheng Zhihu on one side frowned and looked at Li Zhongji,  He said sincerely: "Second brother, what do you think we should do?  " Glancing at Zheng Zhihu, Li Zhongji smiled. After getting along with him for a period of time, he felt that Zheng Zhihu was a good person. He was very loyal and respected himself. Whether it was privately or openly, he gave him enough  Face. He didn¡¯t become domineering because his eldest brother was Zheng Zhilong, and he didn¡¯t want to seize power from himself. ¡°It¡¯s very simple, just sit back and watch the tiger fight!  No matter what happens now, we have not been burned.  The Dutch are anxious to expel the Spaniards and need new territory, and they will make moves soon.  The Spaniards are not here just for fun, they will make moves, so we are not in a hurry.  Sit back and watch them fight. After all, the Spaniards and the Dutch are so conflicted that there is no possibility of reconciliation.  If they fight, it will be in my best interestbig!  "Although Li Zhongji was telling Zheng Zhihu, his eyes were always looking at Zheng Zhilong, and he was obviously giving Zheng Zhilong advice. Nodding slowly, Zheng Zhihu said that he understood. Did he understand Li Zhongji's attitude?  He thought something was wrong. After thinking about it, he said to Zheng Zhilong: "Brother, in this case, should we add fuel to the fire?  Let the Netherlands and Spain fight?  It would be best to fight to the death.  " Zheng Zhilong looked at his younger brother and shook his head helplessly. He is still young! Although there is no problem in being in charge of the fleet, his grasp of the overall situation is still a little worse. On the other hand, Li Zhongji is still as scheming as ever, and he still needs to rely on him.  ! In fact, Zheng Zhilong was still wary of Li Zhongji, but Li Zhongji¡¯s approach dispelled Zheng Zhilong¡¯s doubts ¡°Second brother, things are not what you think!  There is a saying that it is self-defeating. They are already irreconcilable contradictions. If we take action, it will easily leave us with clues.  If you want to be a profitable fisherman, you still have to be patient.  "Zheng Zhilong mentioned his younger brother, and at the same time he was telling others. "Yes, brother, I understand!  "Zheng Zhihu naturally understood his elder brother's good intentions and quickly and respectfully replied. "Okay, everyone, we will not go home until we are drunk today. We will deal with the Dutch and Spanish tomorrow!  "Zheng Zhilong stood up and said with a smile.
