At the end of October, with the defeat of the Jiangnan Rebellion, coupled with the defeat of the eastern Zhejiang Lu Jian State back to the south bank of the Qiantang River, Huang Daozhou, a scholar of the Longwu Imperial Court, was defeated and killed, and the anti-Qing struggle in the entire southeast fell into a trough.

In the Fujing Imperial Court, Emperor Longwu was haunted by the death of the old Huangge.

When the old Huangge garrison Guangxin, he wrote a report to ask for help from the imperial court, and Emperor Longwu also ordered the distant marquis Zheng Lian to send troops to support, but until the old Huangge was defeated, Zheng Lian's troops did not take a step out of the pass.

Emperor Longwu was extremely angry about this and wanted to kill Zheng Lian, but today in the court, Zheng Zhilong resigned and threatened to commit crimes, forcing the emperor to reluctantly retreat from the court.

Fujing City, Pingguo Mansion, Zheng Zhilong was rejoicing in protecting Zheng Lian, this move did not leave a pulse for his fourth brother, and also hit the emperor's prestige again, making the court biased in favor of Zheng.

For a while, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but feel good, but at this moment, a henchman walked in and presented a letter: "Master, this letter from Wang Yanzhi has just come from Guangdong urgently. ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he couldn't help but sit up from the rattan chair where he was lying, he took the letter, and said with a smile while opening it: "It seems that the fifth brother has played a role in Yuehai, and Wang Yan's wife is finally going to beg for mercy from the governor." ”

"The fifth master personally took action, which naturally caused Yuehai to be unpeaceful, then Wang Yan is just a junior who is a latecomer, how can he fight the fifth master." The henchmen immediately echoed.

Zheng Zhilong nodded with a smile on his face, recognizing his henchman's sycophant, he was a good thing in pairs today, and he was in a very happy mood, especially if he could make Wang Yan beg him softly, it made him feel a bad breath in his heart, but the moment he opened the letter, his expression immediately changed drastically, and his whole face was distorted.

Seeing this, the henchmen on the side couldn't help but be surprised, knowing that the content of the letter might not be a good thing, for a while, he couldn't help but regret a little, and personally sent the letter in, this time he not only did not get a reward, but because of the matter of sending the letter, Zheng Zhilong was angry.

The henchman felt a burst of remorse in his heart, but after all, he was a human spirit who had been rolling in the Zheng family for many years, and he knew that it was urgent to make a mistake, and it was necessary to figure out the content of the letter in order to deal with it calmly, so he stood behind Zheng Zhilong and watched it, and saw that the letter paper held by his trembling hands was stunned, "This governor runs the Guangdong Sea, purges bandits on the sea, and has broken the sea in the outlying islands and the mouth of the Pearl River, capturing more than 3,000 people and more than 300 warships, one of which is a thief, falsely claiming to be the young master of the imperial court and the prince of Dingguo, Zheng Zhibao, the governor is suspicious, thinking that the Zheng family is the stone pillar of the imperial court, Wan will not collude with pirates, and the thief dares to slander the reputation of the minister, has been imprisoned by the governor, but the governor to the punishment added, this thief is still unrepentant, let himself claim to be the prince of the court, the governor is suspicious, think yes or no, the prince of the peace of the country is the clearest, with the letter to ask also! ”

After reading it, the henchman couldn't help but look like dirt, he couldn't imagine that Zheng Zhibao was actually arrested by Wang Yan, and deliberately pretended not to know, and served him with great punishment.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was already furious in his heart, and tore the letter in his hand to shreds, "Wang Yanpifu, the leopard was captured by him once in Quanzhou, he actually pretended not to know, not only used the leopard to torture, but also wrote a letter to humiliate the governor, it is simply unreasonable!" ”

"The old man is angry~ The old man is angry~" When the henchman saw Zheng Zhilong, his heart was full of anger, so he had to hurriedly persuade: "Although Wang Yan's move is hateful and unforgivable, but his subordinates think about it, he pretends not to recognize the fifth master, and he is unwilling to admit the identity of the fifth master, but in fact, he is giving in to the master, so as not to expand the situation!" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but slowly calm down, he sat down on the rattan chair from the beginning, sorted out Wang Yan's words in his heart, and slowly understood Wang Yan's intentions.

Just now he saw that Zheng Zhibao in the Yue Sea failed and was captured, and he was angry in his heart, but the matter had already happened, and he had to face it and solve it.

Zheng Zhilong was a pirate businessman, and he quickly came out of his anger and thought: "Wang Yan didn't bring the matter to the court, he just wanted to settle it privately with the governor, and this matter really can't be known to the corrupt people in the court, otherwise they will find an opportunity to attack the governor, and the situation will be out of control, and it is indeed impossible for the governor to completely tear his face with Wang Yan and let Fujian and Guangdong meet each other." ”

Obviously, Zheng Zhilong is not willing to make the situation public, because he and Wang Yan are ministers in the same palace, and they are both princes of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he still needs the chess piece of the Longwu court, he can't go to war with Wang Yan on the bright side, not to mention that the Longwu court has not completely become his pawn now, whether it is the court or the locality, there are many loyal to the court.

It is precisely because the Zheng family still cares about the imperial court and it is not the time to tear their faces, so the mutual struggle can only be carried out in secret, so Zheng Zhibao wants to pretend to be a Haikou, instead of directly sending Fujian sailors to blockade Yuehai, Wang Yan can't admit that Zheng Zhibao is Zheng Zhibao, because he has not yet had the strength to break with Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong wanted to understand this, and he knew that this matter could only be resolved privately, and he and Wang Yan had to pretend to be confused, but once he agreed to settle it privately, he would inevitably have to make some compromises in the South China Sea.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong thought about Zheng Zhibao, who was still in prison, and he knew that it would be useless to drag on this matter, because Wang Yan had already opened up the situation in the South China Sea, so he felt determined to talk to Wang Yan about the conditions, "You go and invite the person who delivered the letter, and this governor will personally talk to him about the conditions." ”

Seeing this, the henchman hurriedly saluted and respectfully retreated, but before he could go far, he was stopped by Zheng Zhilong's words, "Wait~ You will talk to the messenger who sent the letter first, find out Wang Yan's conditions, and after informing the governor, the governor will invite him to meet again." ”

When Zheng Zhilong received Wang Yan's letter, Wang Yan had already returned to Guangzhou.

That **** first captured Zheng Zhibao on the outlying islands, solved the pirates and Zheng's soldiers on the outlying islands, and after dawn, let Shi Lang lead 400 sailors to really attack Macao.

At this time, the four pirates were completely ignorant of the situation on the outlying islands, and they were sending people to negotiate with the Portuguese, but they did not expect that the Portuguese were really willing to drive eighty grain ships out of the port, and the four pirates could not help but be overjoyed.

At about noon, when 80 grain ships were out of the harbor, 200 pirate ships immediately surrounded them, but at this time, on the sides of the grain ships, a fast baffle was suddenly opened, revealing a pitch-black cannon port.

For a time, the artillery fire was on the sea outside Macao, and the water column was splashing, and the four pirates realized that what they were not seeing was a grain ship at all, but a naval warship of the official army, but they were not alarmed, after all, they were in an absolute advantage in numbers.

Half an hour after the naval battle, fifteen of the eighty warships led by He Yuqing had sunk and were completely at a disadvantage, but at this moment, Shi Lang's four hundred warships finally arrived at the battlefield, and the entire naval battle situation was immediately reversed.

The two sides fought until three o'clock in the Shen hour, Zheng Tingqiu and his people sank into the sea with a boat, Shibi and Ma Xuansheng led the ships to surrender, and only Xu Guixiang led forty warships to escape.
