Chapter 524: It's finally messed up
"He didn't offer anything extra...... Conditions like asking us to pay the ransom? ”
"Nope!" Jiro Ishii shook his head: "That marquis just asked me to return to Fusang with the young master, and he warned me and the young master not to come to Daming from now on, otherwise we won't have such good luck when we meet on the battlefield in the future." ”
"This Yang Feng's tone is really not small!" Zheng Zhilong fell silent after a snort.
Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was silent, Ishii Jiro asked tentatively: "Lord, I can't figure it out along the way, that Yang Feng has obviously never seen the young master before, but when he heard the name of the young master, his expression was a little strange for a moment, and then he put the young master and me back, which is really incomprehensible." ”
"Humph!"
A flash of embarrassment flashed on Zheng Zhilong's face, if it weren't for him, he could be sure that Zheng En's mother, Tagawa, had never left Fusang, and Zheng Sen's appearance was almost carved out of the same mold as himself, he almost thought that Zheng Sen was Yang Feng's long-lost illegitimate son, but why did Yang Feng let Zheng Sen go? You must know that with his hatred with the Ming court, even if Yang Feng doesn't break his son into thousands of pieces after he catches him, he will at least imprison him and use it to coerce himself.
Zheng Zhilong, who really couldn't think of an answer, had to give up this headache question, and he said to Jiro Ishii: "You will take Sen'er back to Fusang tomorrow and tell his mother to raise Sen'er well, understand?" ”
"Lord!" Jiro Ishii asked puzzledly: "Why don't you bring your wife and the young master to your side, wouldn't it be better for you to teach the young master personally?" ”
Zheng Zhilong sighed lightly and shook his head: "According to the information coming from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, with the strength of the Fujian Navy Division, they have shown more and more aggressiveness.
They have begun to gradually encircle and suppress us in various fields, which can be seen from the fact that they began to send fleets outside Fusang to intercept our merchant ships bound for Fusang, Yang Feng wants to cut off our ties with Fusang by cutting off our trade routes, if this continues, we will become weaker and weaker, and finally we will be eaten by them.
Sooner or later, Bengang and Taiwan will become battlefields, think about it, how can I rest assured that Assen is here under such circumstances? ”
"But aren't there Dutchmen here?" As a samurai of the Zheng family, Ishii Jiro has long sworn to serve Zheng Zhilong for the rest of his life, and he is naturally very anxious when he sees that Zheng Zhilong's situation has become so difficult: "My lord, the Dutch have been operating here for decades, how can they be willing to allow the Ming people to land in Taiwan, didn't the Dutchman's Governor Sonod promise you last time that if the Ming people dare to attack Bengang, they will not stand idly by?" ”
"Dutch?" Zheng Zhilong heheed twice, "They are just a group of unprofitable guys, if it really depends on them to hold Bengang, the big flag hanging outside us should also be replaced by their lion flag." ”
As if he didn't want to say anything, Zheng Zhilong said in an unquestionable tone: "Prepare immediately after you go back, and tomorrow you will take Sen'er to Fusang." And I'm ...... In a few days, he will also lead a fleet to follow you, I would like to see, since Yang Feng dares to send warships to block the passage between us and Fusang, I don't know if he is ready to fully launch with us? ”
"Hey!"
Seeing that his lord had made up his mind, Jiro Ishii didn't speak again, bowed deeply to Zheng Zhilong and went out.
Looking at Jiro Ishii's figure disappearing at the door, Zheng Zhilong secretly gritted his teeth and whispered, "Yang Feng...... If you want to cut off Lao Tzu's wealth, it's not so easy!"
"Someone's coming...... Go and invite the second and fifth masters! ”
Soon after, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao came to the courtyard.
As soon as Zheng Zhihu entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Big brother, what's the matter, I'm in such a hurry to send someone to call me, I'm drinking with my brothers while discussing how to get Shi Daxuan, the old boy, out." ”
Zheng Zhibao said angrily: "Okay, I will find a way to deal with Lao Shi's affairs in the future." Now Yang Feng has sent the Fujian Navy Division to block the sea area on our way to Nagasaki, and two batches of ships have been detained by the Fujian Navy Division these days, what do you say? ”
Zheng Zhihu said without hesitation: "What else can I do, if the line to Nagasaki is really broken, the brothers have to drink the northwest wind." Since the surname Yang is going to cut off our back road, let's fight with him, and I will immediately mobilize people and horses to drive with him to the sea area around Nagasaki to fight with them! ”
"Old Five, what do you say?" Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Zhibao.
Zheng Zhibao frowned and said: "Big brother, second brother, last time we fought with Liu Xiang in the Mawei Islands, at that time we had three times more ships than hers, and there were so many more people than her, and in the end, although we barely hit them hard, it was only a miserable victory." The reason is because we have fewer guns than him, and the ships are slower than him.
We only have five or six guns in one ship, and only two or three guns in less, but the Fujian Navy Division has more than 20 guns in one boat, which is almost worth our four or five ships. ”
Zheng Zhihu said impatiently: "Old Five, it's not that you don't know that there are so many of our artillery, last time the Dutch gave us a hundred artillery, it was not enough at all, and we have no choice but not to do it." ”
"If you don't have enough guns, buy them from the Dutch!" Zheng Zhilong spoke, and said with a resolute expression: "We have been fighting with Yang Feng for more than half a year, and the Dutch should have seen enough of the drama they have watched for so long, I will personally go to Resha City tomorrow to find Sonord and ask him for a cannon!" ”
Zheng Zhihu asked: "What if this old boy Sonord doesn't give it?" ”
"Don't give it?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Zheng Zhibao's mouth: "If Sonod doesn't give Lao Tzu artillery, Lao Tzu will tell him directly, and we will take refuge in the imperial court!" ”
"Defect to the imperial court?" Zheng Zhihu's eyes widened wider than lanterns, "Big brother, you're crazy!" ”
"You're crazy!" Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but scolded: "Second brother, can you use some brains, the hatred between us and Daming has long been unresolved, how can we take refuge in the imperial court?" Big brother said this just to scare the Dutch, why don't you understand. ”
"I see!" Zheng Zhihu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and grinned.
At this moment, the voice of Zheng Zhilong's cousin Zheng Zhifeng came from outside: "Big brother, there is a big mess in Fujian!" ”
Soon, Zheng Zhifeng strode in, and said loudly with a happy face: "The eldest brother, the second brother, and the fifth brother, I just received an urgent report from the spies, due to Yang Feng's perverse behavior in Fujian, three days ago, the merchants in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places suddenly went on strike, and now the whole Fujian is in chaos!" ”
