The weather is fine today, and it can be said that the sky is clear.

There is a fleet on the vast sea, the scale of this fleet is not small, there are at least no less than 100 ships, of which there are more than 20 Dafu ships with a tonnage of two or three hundred tons, and the rest of the ships are more miscellaneous, most of them are ordinary Xiaofu ships, which are also mixed with some Ming standard sand ships, and even a few Spanish oars warships, this fleet is the fleet led by Zheng Zhilong to surprise attack Xiamen.

Zheng Zhilong had great expectations for this operation, and he not only brought all the main ships in Fuzhou, but also brought out almost all the subordinates who could fight, leaving only 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people to stay in Fuzhou.

Zheng Zhilong stood on the deck of one of the largest ships in the middle of the fleet, holding a clairvoyant mirror and silently looking into the distance. Today's weather was very good, and he could clearly see the seabirds flying in the sky three or four miles away. Smelling the familiar faint smell of the sea in the air, feeling the cool sea breeze passing by, Zheng Zhilong only felt a burst of comfort all over his body, this is his fleet, his subordinates and everything, as long as this fleet is in hand, he will not be afraid of anyone.

Heavy footsteps sounded on the deck, and a man slowly walked up to his side and stopped.

Zheng Zhilong put down the clairvoyant mirror and looked ahead and asked without looking back: "Old Five, why don't you rest below, we still have something to do at night." ”

Zheng Zhibao's voice sounded behind him: "Big brother, I don't understand all along, why can you distinguish the footsteps of each of our brothers every time, is it really so obvious?" Why can't I hear it? ”

A smile appeared on Zheng Zhilong's handsome face: "Old Five, you are no less smart than me. The reason why you can't hear it is because you don't listen and discern with your heart, which means that you don't pay attention enough. ”

"Concentrate?" Zheng Zhibao muttered something in his mouth, and then smiled dumbly, "Praise me for being smart when I beat my little lady, and I am an inattentive person in your eyes." ”

"You're naturally smart." Zheng Zhilong had a smile on his face, plus he was wearing a long shirt and a square scarf wrapped around his head, he looked like a personable son, where was like a pirate giant who crisscrossed the Ming Dynasty, Fusang and Nanyang, just listened to him say leisurely: "Mother's words are true, but your cleverness is not used in the right path, if you can dive into the heart and study hard, not to mention the champion, at least a second-class jinshi title is indispensable." ”

"Jinshi?" The corners of Zheng Zhibao's mouth showed a sneer of disdain: "Do you want to be a jinshi of the Ming court?" To tell the truth, in the Ming Dynasty, which of the officials above the county order was not from a Jinshi background? But what did those jinshi do after they became officers? How many people are willing to do things to scrape the ground for silver? People say that it's good for us to rob our homes, but what is the difference between what those Ming officials did and us? ”

"At least they are making money fairly, but we have to bear the infamy of the ages!"

Zheng Zhilong pointed out the gap.

"Daming is too big, don't look at us in the past half a year in the Ming Dynasty siege and plunder seems to be omnipotent, but at best, we can only be majestic in the coastal area, but you have to try to fight Jiangxi, Anhui to see, Daming's soldiers and horses will soon drown us."

"But why are we going to fight Jiangxi and Anhui if we have nothing to do, isn't it good for us to live our lives behind closed doors in Xiaoliuqiu?" Zheng Zhibao said that he was very puzzled, "We never thought of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and fighting for the world?" ”

"You......"

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he pointed and scolded with some hatred: "As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries. We have been beautiful all these years, but have you ever thought about what we have been able to do so freely all these years? ”

"Needless to say!" Zheng Zhibao pursed his lips: "Naturally, it depends on the wisdom of the eldest brother and the concerted efforts of the brothers." ”

"You're wrong!" Zheng Zhilong said: "The reason why we can gallop in the Daming Sea is not because of my wisdom and the bravery of my brothers, but because of the help of the Ming Emperor and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs." ”

"How is this possible?" Zheng Zhibao was dumbfounded, "Big brother, you didn't drink the bar just now?" ”

"You think I'm as confused as you are!" Zheng Zhilong glared. "I'll just ask you one thing, if the Daming Water Master at this time is still as powerful as in the Yongle period, can you and my brother have today's scenery?"

"How is this possible?"

Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Daming Naval Division in the Yongle period had 3,800 ships, including 1,350 patrol ships, 1,350 warships, and 400 large ships and 400 grain ships stationed at the Nanjing Xinjiangkou base, of which 250 were ocean-going treasure ships, in addition to a large number of vigilance and law enforcement ships and herald ships that protected the ocean and patrolled the river.

Such a huge water force can be called the world's largest, and it is not at all comparable to the current sea power of Zheng Zhilong Group.

"If only you knew!" Zheng Zhilong sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for the short-sightedness of Emperor Ming and those ministers, how could we have a free life now." But ......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhilong's expression became serious: "Judging from the information sent by those people, the current Ming Emperor has begun to notice the importance of the water master. This time, he sent that Jiang Ningbo to Xiamen to rebuild the Fujian Sailor is the best proof, if the Ming Dynasty has a powerful sailor again, what will happen to us? ”

"Indeed!" Zheng Zhibao's face also became gloomy, if Da Ming regained a powerful water division, they would definitely be the first to be unlucky. The powerful Great Ming Sailor would not tolerate having such a sea force that could threaten them under their noses.

Zheng Zhibao thought for a while before asking, "Big brother, the information sent by those people says." That Jiang Ningbo took out three million taels of silver to rebuild the Fujian Navy, do you think this will be true? ”

It's no wonder that Zheng Zhibao is a little suspicious, you must know that the current Ming Dynasty's annual tax is only more than five million taels of silver, and three million taels of silver already accounts for most of the entire Ming Dynasty's taxes, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a lie.

"I don't know about that either." Zheng Zhilong pondered for a while before saying: "It is said that it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to come up with such a large sum of silver, but it is said that Jiang Ningbo himself is a wealthy businessman in the Ming Dynasty, maybe he can also come up with this silver, right?" ”

"Spending his own money to rebuild the water division for the imperial court, is he crazy?" Zheng Zhibao looked disdainful, spending his own money to do things for the court, who believes in such a ridiculous thing is a fool.

"Perhaps!" Zheng Zhilong himself was also a little embarrassed by his ridiculous idea just now, but he still said solemnly to Zheng Zhibao.

"But no matter what, there is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty wants to rebuild the sailor in Fujian, and the reason why I insist on leading my brothers to attack Xiamen this time is to nip the newly established sailor in the bud, and must not let them grow up, do you understand what I mean?"

"Big brother, I understand." Zheng Zhibao's expression also became solemn, he naturally understood that once the Fujian Navy Division was rebuilt, their good days would come to an end, and he thought about it with his ass that they had done to the Fujian government for most of the past six months, and the first thing they did after the Fujian Navy Division became an army was probably to attack them, which was the reason why Zheng Zhilong carried out a surprise attack on Xiamen despite public opinion.

"If only you understood!" Zheng Zhilong patted Zheng Zhibao on the shoulder: "Among our brothers, Ah Hu is the most brave, he charges forward every time he fights, and you are good at organizing and dispatching manpower to support, you are all the right-hand man of the eldest brother."

As long as we can destroy the port that is still under construction and those newly recruited sailors, if we can still slaughter that Jiang Ningbo, then there will be no one in the entire Fujian, Guangdong and other places who can resist us, and explain that if the imperial court still wants to recruit us, I'm afraid we will be embarrassed if we don't give us an uncle, right? ”

"Uncle?"

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Zhibao's eyes also lit up a little, people in this era pay attention to sealing their wives and shadows, even if he looks down on the Ming court, he has to admit that the Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world. This has nothing to do with strength, but the imprint that Daming spent more than two hundred years carving in the hearts of the world, and this imprint is unshakable before the new dynasty replaces Daming.

Zheng Zhibao said with emotion: "If our Zheng family can really be named an earl and pass it on from generation to generation, even after we die, we will have the face to see our ancestors and ancestors." ”

"yes!" Zheng Zhilong also sighed with emotion.

No matter how huge the power of Zheng Zhilong's brothers is on weekdays, and how they can stop crying in the southeast coastal area, they all know in their hearts that their brothers are now a group of disgraceful pirates, whether it is the common people or the government, if this situation is not changed, I am afraid that they will be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history in the history books a hundred years later.

"We must destroy that Fujian Sailor, and it is best to kill that Yang Feng as well, only in this way can our Zheng family be able to kill a way out!" Zheng Zhibao muttered in his mouth, and under his feet, a huge Dafu ship was heading towards Xiamen under the crowd of hundreds of ships.

It was late at night, and on the newly built Xiamen port, the craftsmen and workers who had worked hard all day had entered their dreams in the temporary suggestion room not far from the construction site, and the snoring was lively one after another.

Not far from the port, there was a huge horse-drawn carriage with a receiving antenna more than ten meters long inserted on the roof of the carriage. Around it stood dozens of clad men in armor, their wagons surrounded, their eyes wary.

In the carriage of the carriage, Zheng Toniang and Line Niang were staring nervously at the screen in front of them. On this more than 20-inch color display, the picture captured by the drone is transmitted in real time, but because the sky is too dark, the picture on the screen is black most of the time, and occasionally some sporadic lights can be seen.

The informant yawned and said to Zheng Tuoniang with sleepiness: "Miss, we have been flying for more than an hour, and we haven't seen anything, is he mistaken?" ”

"Begging for a beating!"

Zheng Toniang gently patted the little head of the informant and said angrily: "You dead girl, you actually questioned Xianggong, believe it or not, I told Xianggong to smash your ass?" ”

"Hee-hee!"

The informant grinned and spit out her little fragrant tongue: "Miss, don't try to scare me, how can such a kind person as Xianggong be willing to beat me hard." Besides, even if he wants to fight, he will hit you first, don't you realize that your ass I shares have been beaten bigger and bigger these days? ”

Rao is Zheng Tuniang and the line maid have joined forces to serve Yang Feng more than once, and they were also blushed by this little girl's words, she raised her right hand and made a gesture to fight: "Eh, you dead girl, it's getting more and more disagreeable, even I dare to tease, watch the fight!" ”

The informant shrank her head with a smile, and at this time, her eyes swept over the screen, and immediately lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Miss...... Miss, don't make trouble, I see something, look! ”

"Look, you're still trying to lie to me...... I have to ...... this time Hey...... What ...... those bright lights?"

The informant shouted: "It's a boat...... It's a big boat, and those bright lights come from the ship. ”

"Quick...... Hurry up and inform Xianggong that Zheng Zhilong is here! ”

The time slowly came to midnight (three o'clock in the morning), and the waves were constantly hitting the harbor with the sound of crackling, and a huge fleet of ships was quietly approaching.

In this fleet, Zheng Zhilong held a clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed the port, the huge port was empty, and at a glance it looked like a sleeping giant beast, snoring with a long mouth.

"Big brother, I just observed with a clairvoyant mirror, and there is no one above the port!" At this time, Zheng Zhibao hurriedly came to report, with an excited look on his face: "How powerful I am that Jiang Ningbo, it seems that it is nothing more than that, there is not even a guard in the huge port, such a straw bag can be an uncle, I don't know how the emperor of the Ming Dynasty likes him." ”

Zheng Zhibao did not forget to ridicule his opponent while reporting his report.

"Even so, you can't underestimate the other party." Zheng Zhilong reprimanded with a straight face, "According to the reports of those people, the Fujian Navy Battalion is in the area of Jiuquan Village two miles away, as long as we can go over and destroy the camp of Brother Na, and then put a fire here, Fujian City will definitely be in chaos, and then we can take advantage of the situation to attack the promise of the Jiang Ning Army." I've heard that Jiang Ningbo never spends the night in the city, he always lives in the barracks outside the city, this is our chance, if we can kill that Yang Feng, our plan will be half successful. ”

Zheng Zhihu also walked over and said viciously: "Yes, as long as we kill that Yang Feng, the name of our Zheng family brothers will definitely spread all over the world, and the people who come to us will definitely step on our threshold, and when the time comes, I think Liu Xiang's slut will dare to be so fierce?" ”
