As a force split from Zheng Zhilong's group, Liu Xiang's situation was already very worrying at this time, and Zheng Zhilong did not hesitate to spend money in order to deal with this force headed by Liu Xiang.

Zheng Zhilong once ordered that anyone who can kill and take Liu Xiang's head will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and those who can capture Liu Xiang alive will be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver.

That's not all, Zheng Zhilong also united with many forces such as the Spaniards to encircle and suppress Liu Xiang many times, forcing Liu Xiang's forces to retreat. Liu Xiang originally had more than 200 ships, but now there are only more than 100 left, and the number of people has been sharply reduced from more than 8,000 to more than 5,000, even these more than 5,000 people include a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled family members, and there are less than 2,000 people who can really go into battle.

"Uncle!" Liu Xiang stared at Yang Feng's face and said solemnly: "The sinner is willing to lead his two thousand brothers and more than three thousand dependents to all return to the imperial court, and listen to orders under the command of the uncle. The sinner has nothing else to ask for, but to ask the uncle to treat these more than 3,000 relatives and 2,000 brothers kindly, not to discriminate against them, and to give them a chance to reform themselves. ”

It has only been more than half a month, and the condition proposed by Liu Xiang is completely different from the condition proposed last time.

Seeing that Liu Xiang, a female bandit, finally relented, Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, and his tone became more and more soft: "Miss Liu, as the old saying goes, people are not saints and sages, and knowing mistakes can improve greatly." Although the girl has been a thief, but Ben Bo also inquired, the girl has always been righteous, once set the rule of three do not fight, if Ben Bo is not mistaken, these three do not fight: the poor people do not fight, there are old and weak women and children on the ship do not fight, the ships of the Ming government do not fight. These three rules are enough to prove that the girl is a heroine with chivalrous and pride, and now that the girl has abandoned her plan to turn to the light, how can Ben Bo not give you this opportunity! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Feng pondered for a moment before saying: "In this way, Miss Liu, you can go back immediately and bring all the manpower with you, Benbo can ask Governor Xia Dayan to move them to Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Putian, as for you and your more than 2,000 brothers can form a single army, Benbo can play Your Majesty to canonize your department as the second fleet of the Fujian Naval Division, which will be commanded by you, as for your official position to temporarily be the deputy admiral of the Fujian Naval Division, controlled by Admiral Lu Guangbiao, what do you think?" ”

After listening to Yang Feng's words, Liu Xiang didn't hesitate for a minute, stood up again, knelt down towards Yang Feng, and said crisply: "Liu Xiang, the deputy commander of the Fujian Navy Division, see Uncle!" ”

"Good...... Good...... Get up! Yang Feng stood up very happily, personally helped her up, and encouraged: "Miss Liu...... No, I should call you Vice Admiral Liu now. Now that you have submitted to the imperial court, the imperial court will be your backer in the future, and all the money, food, weapons and materials will be supplied by the imperial court. If someone dares to make things difficult or bully you, you can come directly to Benbo, if Benbo can't do it, it doesn't matter, there is also the emperor. ”

Yang Feng said these words very sincerely, even if a stubborn and independent person like Liu Xiang was a little moved, she was thanking again, but she heard Yang Feng say: "But there are some things that Ben Bo still has to say ugly things in front, and after you submit to the court, you will be the court officers and soldiers." You must remember that the money you receive and the weapons you hold are all supported by the people of the Ming Dynasty, so you must not do anything that violates military regulations. ”

Although Yang Feng said this with a smile, Liu Xiang could see the bloody taste from Yang Feng's smile, she knew that Yang Feng was serious, if his subordinates violated military regulations, this guy would really kill people.

Even Liu Xiang, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but feel a palpitation when she saw the bloody aura in Yang Feng's eyes, she took a deep breath and nodded: "Please rest assured, uncle, the lowly position will definitely restrain the subordinates, if anyone really dares to violate military discipline, there is no need for the uncle, the lowly position will take care of them first!" ”

"That's good!"

Yang Feng's smile became warm again, and for a moment Liu Xiang almost thought that the evil qi he had just seen was his own delusion.

After saying this, Yang Feng asked again: "Deputy Admiral Liu, do you have anything else to tell Benbo?" ”

Liu Xiang knew that Yang Feng was sending off a guest in disguise, and it stands to reason that after getting the answer she wanted, she should also leave with interest, otherwise if she didn't leave, would she stay here and have dinner with Yang Feng? However, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, the sin ...... There is one more thing I want to report to you this time. ”

"Oh......" Seeing Liu Xiang's solemn appearance, Yang Feng couldn't help but be a little curious: "What is going on?" ”

"It's about Zheng Zhilong."

"Zheng Zhilong?" Hearing this, Yang Feng's expression also became solemn, "Please speak!" ”

"That's right." Liu Xiang said: "You also know that the humble post was originally a member of Zheng Zhilong's eighteen Zhizhi, and Zheng Zhilong has a deep relationship with the Dutch, so it can be said that the reason why he was able to make a fortune was completely supported by the Dutch.

Before breaking with Zheng Zhilong, he had led the fleet to intercept Portuguese and Spanish merchant ships many times, and captured Iberian overseas fortresses, merchant houses, etc., and later fell out with Zheng Zhilong and began to cooperate with the Spaniards in order to survive, so he knew a lot of things.

A few days ago, he received information that after Zheng Zhilong was defeated by his uncle in Fuzhou and Xiamen, he began to formally ask the Dutch for help, and the Dutch sold Zheng Zhilong 12 warships and 60 guns half a month ago. Zheng Zhilong used these warships and artillery to start rebuilding the fleet, so be careful. ”

Yang Feng's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked with some doubts: "What are the Dutch trying to support Zheng Zhilong so hard?" ”

Liu Xiang Zhengrong said: "Because the Dutch are no longer satisfied with only establishing a few ports and bases in Xiaoliuqiu (Taiwan), their governor in Xiaoliuqiu, Sir Sonod, has formulated a plan to fully occupy the Ming Dynasty, which has been submitted to the Dutch government, and it is said that the Dutch government has approved Sir Sonod's plan, and they are ready to use 30,000 people and 2,000 warships to complete this plan, and Zheng Zhilong is the vanguard of the Dutch. ”

"The Dutch are preparing a full-scale invasion of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Yang Feng almost squirted out the tea he had just drunk close to his mouth.

The Dutch invaded the Ming Dynasty. This sentence is probably the biggest joke Yang Feng heard when he was so big, as for the Netherlands, a country not much larger than Beijing, actually wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty, Yang Feng's first reaction was that either the Dutch were crazy, or Zheng Zhilong was carried away by hatred and had a fever.

"Are you sure you're right?"

"This information was sent by Zheng Chenggong's internal line." Liu Xiang stared at Yang Feng's eyes very seriously, "I don't know the truth of this matter, but I don't dare to hide it from you, I implore you to decide." ”

"Hiss......"

Yang Feng stroked his head with his hand, and felt that his head was a little big for a while.

To be honest, he didn't remember such an incident happening in another historical time and space, what the hell happened.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Feng rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and then waved his hand, "Deputy Admiral Liu, you go back first, this matter is really important, Ben Bo must think about it carefully." ”

Liu Xiang also knew that this matter was too important, and she didn't want to tell Yang Feng originally, because she wasn't too sure about the authenticity of this matter, but this matter was too important, she was worried that if she didn't tell Yang Feng, if one day the Dutch really called, Yang Feng, who was ordered to be stationed in Fujian, would be the first to suffer, after all, now she has put all her net worth on Yang Feng, and if the beekeeper is unlucky, she won't be better.

After Liu Xiang left, Yang Feng, who was sitting in the chair, closed his eyes and recuperated for a long time without coming up with a countermeasure.

Although the information Liu Xiang said seems too absurd at first glance, many seemingly absurd things in the world do exist. For example, Felipe II, the ruler of the Spanish Empire at its peak, made several plans to conquer China in order to gain trade advantages in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite the size of China, Felipe II's military advisers were confident that only 15,000 Spanish soldiers, plus 6,000 Japanese soldiers, would be needed to complete the task. They believed that Europe's technological and tactical superiority could compensate for the numerical inferiority of soldiers.

Felipe II and his generals made many exercises and inferences for this plan, and actively worked to achieve this, and their continuous increase in troops in Taiwan was to prepare for this plan, but it was only later due to the untimely death of Felipe II that the plan came to an end. If Spain had made this plan before, why couldn't the Dutch, who are now in their heyday, make this plan?

I don't know how long it took, a ball of candlelight appeared in front of Yang Feng, when Yang Feng raised his head to see that the sky was already dark, he shook his head helplessly and laughed at himself: "It seems that today's Da Ming is too weak, and even any cat and dog are delusional about eating him." ”

At this time, a maid came over and reported: "Uncle, it's not early, Mrs. Tu Niang and Mrs. Xianniang invite you to come over for dinner." ”

"Okay, let's eat." Yang Fengchang let out a sigh and muttered in his mouth: "I originally thought that Liu Xiang could breathe a sigh of relief after taking refuge, but I never thought that a bigger opponent would appear again, but this is fine, then let the storm come more violently!" ”
