The news of the attack on the Matsu Islands led by Liu Xiang and seven warships of the Second Fleet soon spread throughout Fujian, and it also spread rapidly toward the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions at a rapid speed.

In the past year, with the lifting of the sea ban, a large number of small merchants and fishermen who had been confined to land began to try to go to sea, and the maritime merchants immediately felt the pressure.

Although the strength of these small businessmen and fishermen is still very weak, they can't stand the large number of people, and these small businessmen and fishermen form a vast army to go to sea, whatever business makes money, people do whatever business, just a little more than a year has formed a trend, this trend immediately made those sea merchants feel a lot of pressure.

If you want to say what business is the most profitable in this world, you don't need to ask, it is naturally a monopoly. As long as you can monopolize it, let alone sell things, you can make money even if you open a public toilet, but this kind of business, which was originally monopolized by maritime merchants, was broken by Yang Feng with the most rude means.

The maritime merchants who lost their monopoly position were naturally unwilling to lose the benefits they originally enjoyed, so they began to jump up and down, in order to prevent Yang Feng from rebuilding the Fujian Navy, they even sent all the craftsmen in their hands to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but even so did not prevent the establishment of the Fujian Navy.

With the establishment and growth of the Fujian Naval Division, the maritime merchants felt a strong threat, but as the old saying goes, the good people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, people not only hold tens of thousands of male soldiers in their hands, but also have the Fujian Naval Division, even if they have a way, there is no way to take Yang Feng, just when they are more and more anxious, the news that the Second Fleet has been hit hard, after learning the news, I don't know how many people are elated and rejoicing behind their backs, and soon Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen and other places immediately spread the news that Zheng Zhilong was going to fight back.

"You know what...... Our sailors suffered a defeat on Mawei Island, not only were several warships sunk, but even the woman was seriously injured and didn't know if she was alive or dead? ”

"Huh...... Really...... I said a long time ago, Si Chen's person can't last long, she is obviously a woman, but she wants to press on a large group of masters, she also has to have that life, do you really think she is the reincarnation of Wu Zetian? ”

"Huh...... You say, if the Fujian sailors are destroyed by the Zheng brothers, will the imperial court ban the sea again? ”

"It's hard to say, but if there is no Fujian sailor, I want to see who else dares to go to sea again? Once there is no protection of the Fujian sailors, the life and death of those people will not be up to them! ”

All of a sudden, countless rumors began to circulate in the market, and not only the sea merchants were secretly happy, but the small merchants and fishermen who had just tasted the sweetness began to worry. Human nature is like this, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, they have just tasted the sweetness and lived a good life for a few days, they are naturally unwilling to return to the previous poor days, and soon some people began to send people to inquire about the situation.

This is not counted, just a few days, even the capital's "Confucian Daily" also published the news, and declared that the failure of the Fujian Navy Division this time has a direct relationship with Yang Feng, and the imperial court should choose another virtuous minister to Fujian to re-lead this water division, even if Lu Guangbiao is not replaced, Liu Xiang should be removed, since ancient times, how can there be a woman as the commander of the water division.

What the? Do you say that in ancient times, there was a legend that Hua Mulan served in the army for her father, Liang Hongyu, Mu Guiying, and the female generals of the Yang Sect, why is there no woman as the commander?

Hehe...... You also said that it is a legend, since it is all a legend, how can it be taken seriously.

For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty was spreading the news of the defeat of the Fujian Naval Division.

And as soon as the news spread, the excerpt of impeachment of Yang Feng also flew like snowflakes to Zhu Youxiao's dragon case.

Looking at the large stack of folds in front of him, Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian in front of him with a little headache: "Big companion, are these all excerpts to impeach Jiang Ninghou?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, yes." Wei Zhongxian, who was in front of the dragon case, bowed down and showed a helpless expression: "And it's not all, these are just the slaves and maids who specially picked them out for your purpose, and there is still a basket of those who didn't take them." ”

"These people really can't wait!" Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and his eyes slowly narrowed, "The Fujian Navy Division was created by Jiang Ninghou, and there is not a penny from the Ministry of Households, and there is not a single soldier from the Ministry of War. But even so, Jiang Ninghou still pulled the Fujian sailors up, but now that they have only lost a battle, these people began to jump out, completely unaware that there is nothing to do with them here. ”

Wei Zhongxian also smiled bitterly: "It's not that they don't know, but they just forgot about it on purpose." For those people, as long as they can pull Jiang Ninghou off the horse, even if they can refer to the deer as a horse, it is okay. ”

"Haha...... This is my courtier, this is the courtier of the Ming Dynasty, okay...... Good ......."

Although Zhu Youxiao's laughter was loud, Wei Zhongxian heard a trace of anger that could not be concealed.

Wei Zhongxian is very clear about Zhu Youxiao's mood, Zhu Youxiao is an ambitious monarch, but now the Ming Dynasty has accumulated deep shortcomings. Although Zhu Youxiao was nominally the emperor of the country, in fact, for more than a hundred years, the gentry and scholars had firmly controlled the power of the country, and since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, several emperors have tried to take this right back, but all of them have failed.

And the most fierce struggle is also the time when the three major suspicious cases of the late Ming Dynasty occurred, the three major cases of the attack case, the red pill case, and the palace removal case are too many doubts, especially the attack case that occurred on the fourth day of the fifth month of the 43rd year of Wanli (May 30, 1615) is the most absurd, a crazy man named Zhang Cha actually broke into the palace and beat the prince Zhu Changluo with a stick, which can be said to shake the government and the opposition after this incident.

What is the nature of this incident, in the words of the 21st century, it is as absurd as a mentally ill person with a mental problem who rushed into Zhongnanhai with a big wooden stick and beat up the Chinese national leader.

What do you think? Doesn't that sound incredible, like a fantasy story? But it just happened, and it didn't happen except for the madman's death, which was the most perplexing thing for future generations.

In fact, everything is the same, looking at the essence through things, and then combining with the background at the time, it may be seen. At this time, it was the most fierce time for the struggle for monarchy and ministers, and the Wanli Emperor wanted to canonize the blessed king Zhu Changxun as the crown prince, but those ministers did not agree, and the two sides quarreled over this issue for many years

Concubine Zheng finally forced Emperor Wanli to make a retreat.

But people with a little brains know that Zheng Guifei, even if she is brainless, will not instruct a madman to beat Zhu Changluo, the crown prince of the dynasty, with a big stick, and who will benefit in the end after hitting Zheng Guifei? This question is known with your ass, that is, those civil officials, only Zhu Changluo, the prince who has been brainwashed by them for many years, ascends the throne, which is in their best interests.

The struggle between the monarch and the vassal has never stopped, and it has always been going on, and Zhu Youxiao is naturally no exception.

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a while before asking: "Companion, hasn't Jiang Ninghou's self-defense excerpt arrived yet?" ”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head: "No, Marquis Jiang Ning never paid attention to this kind of thing." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "This Yang Feng, he has always had this temper, I really have nothing to do with him." ”

Seeing this, the corners of Wei Zhongxian's mouth twitched, this Yang Feng was so lucky that he could get Zhu Youxiao's unreserved trust. If you are an ordinary courtier, there are only two choices after being impeached, either you will go to the fold to ask for guilt and resign, or you can go to the fold to defend yourself, but this guy is good, he pretended not to see it, how big his experience is.

However, Wei Zhongxian was not jealous, because just a few days ago, a fleet under his command had sailed back to Daming from Nanyang with a full load of goods, and after playing the banner of the Fujian Naval Division, this fleet was really smooth along the way, and there was no difficulty, which also made Wei Zhongxian and his subordinates greatly encouraged, it seems that the cooperation with Yang Feng is still very good, since there are common interests, then everything is easy to talk about.

"Your Majesty, the excerpt sent by the Marquis of Jiangning, Fujian!"

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly walked in and handed over a brocade box.

Seeing this brocade box, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed: "This Yang Feng, I just said a few words about him, and his excerpt has arrived, has even the dignified Jiang Ninghou changed his temperament?" ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly opened the brocade box, took out the fold, and respectfully handed it to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao quickly finished reading the excerpt, and after he finished reading it, he pondered for a while before saying to Wei Zhongxian, who was looking at him with a blank eye: "Big companion, Yang Feng said." He plans to personally lead the Fujian Navy Division to conquer Zheng Zhilong in Taiwan at the end of the year, even if he can't completely annihilate Zheng Zhilong, he will also give the other party a heavy blow, what do you think? ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid is just a eunuch, and he has never been very clear about the war, but the slave maid thinks that since Jiang Ninghou mentioned this matter to you, it means that he is very sure, so the slave maid thinks that it is enough to let him do it." ”

"Hahaha...... You guy, you've learned to slip your head too. Zhu Youxiao laughed, "This Jiang Ninghou really refuses to suffer, Zheng Zhilong just sent someone to ambush his subordinates, and he immediately thought about kicking other people's lair, which is worthy of Yang Feng." Good...... I am sure of this matter, I want to see what kind of answer Yang Feng can hand over to me! ”
