98 Zheng Zhilong
Li Tianyang had never been so aggrieved, looked at Yan Siqi who was looking at him with a smile and respect, and finally said slowly: "If you want to gain a foothold on Dayuan Island, there is no problem, but I will give you three chapters of the law in advance, and you must not violate the rules formulated by my stupid port!" ”
The rules are actually very simple, now that the wood has been completed, even if Li Tianyang is unwilling, he can't take Yan Siqi and them, so after thinking about it in his heart for a long time, he still reluctantly accepted the reality that the other party had a foothold in Dayuan.
Hongtang already has strict rules and regulations on the surface of the South China Sea, and at this time, except for some small changes, other places basically continue Hongtang's charter in the South China Sea.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a young voice interrupted Li Tianyang's gushing words, but it was Zheng Zhilong, who came with Yan Siqi: "Lord Admiral, we Mingren don't say dark words, brother, when we were begging for a living in the Japanese country, I think you have also heard of it, so when you come to the South China Sea, I'm afraid there is still a place to disturb you, please Haihan!" ”
Zheng Zhilong was young and ambitious, and the road can be said to be smooth sailing, and now he has thousands of sons and daughters to serve him, where can he stand so many rules of Hongtang.
If you want to say that Zheng Zhilong's experience, if it is written in the future generations, it can be regarded as a true meaning, and it is really much stronger than Li Tianyang, a traverser.
Zheng Zhilong, who was born in the 32nd year of Wanli in a small official family in Nan'an, Fujian, was a wandering ranger when he was a child, and he didn't like to read, but he had arm strength and good martial arts, and his life was very comfortable.
When he was only seventeen years old, because of the difficult life at home, he finally took Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhihu and other cousins to his uncle Huang Cheng, who was doing business in Xiangshanao, Macau, and followed him on the sea.
At the age of eighteen, under the arrangement of his uncle, Zheng Zhilong began to contact the Portuguese, learned to speak Portuguese fluently, gained some fame among Portuguese merchants, and accepted the teachings of the Society of Jesus, and received the Christian name Nicholas.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, when Zheng Zhilong was nineteen years old, his uncle Huang Cheng saw that he was capable and able to take charge of himself, so he sent him to the Eastern Wai, attached to the fleet of the maritime merchant Li Dan, to trade between the Eastern Wai and Macao.
Subsequently, after taking advantage of Li Dan, a legendary seafarer, Zheng Zhilong helped his uncle Huang Cheng to sell sugar, Qi Nan, musk and other things, while following Li Dan to do business and make a living, and finally simply joined Li Dan's command and became his subordinates.
It didn't take long for Zheng Zhilong to stand out in Li Dan's team, and was even accepted by Li Dan as a righteous son, and now he is only under Li Dan for only two years, and he can get the contribution of most of Li Dan's subordinates, which is more than Li Dan's son Li Guozhu, which can naturally see his luck, but also his own ability.
Such a magical experience made him only twenty-one years old when he climbed to his current position, and he was naturally a little more frivolous when he rose to the top of the position.
"And what do you mean?" Li Tianyang was already angry in his heart, but when he heard the arrogance in Zheng Zhilong's words, his face suddenly sank, and he looked at Zheng Zhilong deeply.
"The grass people only hope that the adults will allow me to do some business on the ground of the South China Sea, and there is nothing else to ask for!" Zheng Zhilong replied proudly in the face of Li Tianyang's cold words.
"Hmph, as long as you have that guts, then I have no choice!" What Li Tianyang showed in front of Yan Siqi and the others at this time was the bearing he should have as the overlord of the South China Sea, and he had nothing else to say after a sneer.
"The adult is angry, the younger brother is stupid, he is used to messing around in the rivers and lakes, and he has no sense of proportion!" Yan Siqi still observed his words and looks, and saw Li Tianyang's expression deep, knowing that his righteous brother was still younger, he was afraid that he would offend the newly appointed Admiral: "Little brother, don't hurry up and make amends to the adult!" ”
"Humph!" Zheng Zhilong was reluctant in every way, but he still didn't dare to be too arrogant in front of the eldest brother of the righteous brother, and he pulled his sleeve and bowed his head and said bluntly: "The kid is reckless, please forgive the adult!" ”
Li Tianyang's face was expressionless, and he didn't match the two of them.
"According to what the adults say, we will never violate the rules set by the adults in the South China Sea, and if we violate, we are willing to be punished by the adults!" Yan Siqi can get to this position, but he is not like Zheng Zhilong, who relied on Tongtian's luck to climb to the present.
After Zheng Zhilong's temptation, Yan Siqi can be regarded as having a rough idea of where Li Tianyang's psychological defense line is, and he knows how to take a step back and open the sky, but he doesn't know that it is time to retreat at this time.
"I hope so!" Seeing that Yan Siqi was soft, Li Tianyang re-accosted Yan Siqi: "I would like to tell you again, if any of you dare to make trouble on any of the sea ships with the logo of my Hongtang, then don't blame the official for being polite!" ”
This is not so much for Yan Siqi as it is for Zheng Zhilong, as for whether they listen to it in the end or not, then it depends on whether they really have the guts.
"Sending off!"
Without waiting for Yan Siqi and the two to say anything, Li Tianyang categorically issued an eviction order, and asked Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong to be invited out!
Seeing that Li Tianyang was so resolute, Yan Siqi sighed secretly, so he had to take Zheng Zhilong and retreat and walk out.
"Big brother, why are you so cowardly, don't you believe in your brother's methods?" Walking out of the Bengang building where Li Tianyang was, on the way back, Zheng Zhilong said with a little unwillingness.
"Little brother, don't be careless, if Hongtang can have today's prestige, there must be something special about him. Your father-in-law Li Dan has not done anything to them over the years, but in the end, he has not been developed and developed by others until now, why do you dare to say that you are against others! Yan Siqi's vision is like that, not as light as Zheng Zhilong, just from the Bengang style observed along the way, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture, and understand that Bengang is not a strong person that he and others can compete with.
"Look at it, the population of this port is not less than six or seven thousand, and then look at the hands of these people, those people who are dressed very differently, just this port, I am afraid it is much stronger than our Jingpu Port." Yan Siqi looked around at the environment in Bengang as he walked, estimating the situation he had seen along the way, and said worriedly: "Little brother, you better restrain yourself, let your subordinates not mess around, and don't provoke those merchant ships with Hongtang logos!" ”
"Doesn't that make my brethren drink the northwest wind?" Zheng Zhilong's eyes widened, glaring at Yan Siqi and roaring.
"If you are not reconciled, you can go to those two pirate districts and go to unify those two pirate districts!" Yan Siqi's expression was calm and he looked straight ahead.
