"Father, do the Dutch really have a battleship with a hundred cannons?"

Zheng Chenggong asked Yang Feng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This problem is what their family is most concerned about, this year's cooperation with the emperor made Zheng Zhilong count the money and have cramps, although it was four or six accounts, but those goods sold by the emperor still brought millions of taels of silver to the Zheng family from the Wa Kingdom and all over Nanyang. Moreover, the Dutch, who had just expelled the chicken coop not long ago, and then found the sulfur mining that the emperor said, and even found gold there, although it was still four or six cents, but for the Zheng family it was still like getting a treasure trove, where there was an inexhaustible supply of sulfur.

Then Zheng Zhilong's biggest worry is that the Dutch will covet it.

Who doesn't want a treasure trove?

He didn't actually fight before expelling the Dutch, he and the Dutch had a close cooperation, the chicken coop hanging in the north was purely chicken ribs for the Dutch, it was nothing more than a supply point to the Japanese country, he put on a tough posture and then took out some silver, and the Dutch gave it to him directly, after all, if it fell out, it would not be good for the Dutch.

But now the Dutch have no choice but to regret it.

"The Dutch didn't!"

Yang Feng smiled and said.

Zheng Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief.

"But they have a bunch of seventy or eighty cannon warships, and they have hundreds of forty or fifty cannon warships, and as for the countless armed merchant ships they had during the Jinxia Naval War, it should not be an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of them."

Then Yang Feng said.

Zheng Chenggong gasped.

"You don't have to be afraid, it's a Dutch navy warship, not the East India Company, and it won't sail to the East in the short term, they also have a bunch of enemies in Tessie, their navy is mainly based on the Atlantic Ocean as the main area of activity, the Dutch government will not be a thug for the East India Company, all you need to face is the private army of the East India Company. I tell you this, just to let Nan Amber know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are powerful maritime forces in this world, but the Ming Dynasty is definitely not in the top five, our warships are too small, our guns are not good, and it is very difficult to fight the armed merchant ships of the Dutch, and if you encounter a real warship, you will definitely lose.

And our enemies are not only the Dutch.

The Portuguese are in Macau.

The Spaniards were in Luzon.

The British East India Company had already built three forts in India and was ambitiously trying to enter the South Seas, and the 100 cannon warships I spoke of were British.

The Taixi people are coming, so how will Daming respond? Continue to use those little sailboats against them? You think the Hongyi cannon is a giant cannon, but do you know what the Hongyi cannon is in Taixi? They distinguish cannons by the weight of cannonballs, and the Hongyi cannon is an eighteen-pound naval gun, which is considered inferior on their battleships, while their real main force is twenty-four pounds, thirty-two pounds, and even the British battleship with a hundred guns still has a forty-two-pound cannon and a thirty-two-pound shell, do you think our battleships can hold one?

And also.

The plywood ships you have seen are just their armed civilian ships, not at all the same class as their naval warships, do you know what their real warships look like?

Very simple.

Nearly two feet thick oak planks.

Do you think the shells of the Hongyi cannon can pierce this kind of thing?

So we need to prepare early, we need to build ships, build large warships, large warships like them, I know how to build them, but I need wood, oak, teak, especially teak is the best, and then you ask Nan Amber to get as much teak from the South Seas as possible, and find more shipbuilders, let's prepare the materials for shipbuilding first, and we can build them in two years, and when we build our large warships, I will also set up the East India Company of the Ming Dynasty, and then you will be in charge of this company. ”

Yang Feng said.

"The sons will not live up to the grace of God!"

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly lay down and kowtowed and said.

"Well, you are a good boy, although you are my righteous son, but I will not treat you badly, speaking of which, my three sons don't know life and death, except for Kun Xing, you and I are close, go back and do things well, I will directly crown you as a king in the future!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Zheng Chenggong was stunned, he is a righteous son, and the righteous son is more of a title, not to mention that it is on a par with a real son, it is a big difference compared to the stepson and adopted son, to put it bluntly, it is just an honorary title, it can't be true, but now he actually promised to be crowned king, which simply made him a little dizzy, this is really treating himself as his own son, even if it is just a county king, this is enough to shock his jaw.

He was almost in a trance.

Looking at his back, Emperor Yang looked at the snowflakes flying outside with a deep expression on his face.

He found that it was a good means to take in his godson, Xiao Zheng had obviously fallen completely, anyway, his three sons are now unknown in life and death, and there is only one daughter left by his side, he lacks family comfort, and it is reasonable to collect his godson, but this goal is not easy to find, his godson has to be a real elite, but unfortunately Li Dingguo is still under Zhang Xianzhong, otherwise this godson is still worth receiving.

"Your Majesty, your ginseng tea."

At this time, the gentle voice of Jing Guiren sounded beside him, and then a cup of ginseng tea was gently placed in front of him.

Yang Feng raised his head and looked at her.

"Your Majesty, if you don't drink it, it's cold!"

Jing Guiren said with a red face.

Then there was a crackling sound, and His Majesty's hand slapped on her little ass.

"What ginseng tea to drink, don't go back to the room and wait!"

The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, it's daytime!"

Jing Guiren bit his lip and said with a blushing face.

"Does this kind of thing still depend on the time of day?"

Yang Feng hurriedly said and stood up, directly hugged her in his arms, and couldn't wait to walk to the inner room next to him, before he could enter the door, Li Xiu didn't know how to get out of the side, and recklessly hit his head on him, looking at their state at this time, her pretty face turned red with shame, and she turned her head to get over from the side, but was grabbed by Jing Guiren. Yang Feng didn't notice it, and hurriedly walked into the room, pulling Li Xiu on top of him at once, the latter struggled to run, but the always weak Jing Guiren grabbed her hair like a drowning person, and poor Li Xiu screamed and was dragged by her.

"What?"

Yang Feng said in amazement.

"What the hell!"

Jing Guiren, who had already been taught by him to understand the meaning of this word, said with a coquettish smile on his face.

"You little goblin!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

He is not a good thing, it's just that because Li Xiu is just sixteen years old, he has been controlling it and not starting, but now at this time, how can he consider the age of the latter, one hand hugged Jing Guiren's slender waist, and the other hand unceremoniously picked up Li Xiu on the side, and walked directly into the room in the latter's struggle, raised his foot and kicked the door shut, and then Li Xiu's frightened screams came from inside, of course, it soon turned into a scream of pain, and by the way, it was accompanied by Jing Guiren's smug laughter.

"Haha! Yan Shenggong, please get up. ”

Just when His Majesty the Emperor was flying happily, hundreds of miles away from him, in Jinan, Dolgon was standing in front of the city gate, stretching out his hands to support the Yan Shenggong who was kneeling on the ground.

Behind the latter, there were kneeling officials and gentry representatives from all over Shandong, one by one lying there with excited smiles and bowing to the new lord, but most of these people still wore Ming Dynasty official uniforms.

In fact, the Manchu Qing Dynasty still could not be called the real rule of Shandong, and the officials in Shandong basically did not change, but there was another governor, but this governor was the former Tianjin Bingbei Daoyuan Yuzong who surrendered, and the governor of Shandong was the former Xuanda Governor Li Huaxi.

This was basically the pattern of Manchu rule over the localities.

After all, Dorgon is not what it used to be.

His little strength could not really effectively rule what he currently had, including the entire east of the Taihang Mountains, north of the Yellow River, plus the Jinzhong Plain in Shanxi and the vast northern land to the north, which could only be handed over to the local officials of the Han people, to put it bluntly, he was now an alliance with the Han gentry, who supplied him with food and wages, recognized his rule, and he provided the latter with a barrier to prevent the faint monarch from coming back.

In Shandong, the Lu Party is the mainstay.

Zhili is the Northern Party headed by Feng Quan.

And Jiang Hao formed an alliance with the southern officials of the DPRK and China headed by Chen Mingxia.

Now it's basically these three parties standing side by side.

However, at this time, among these kneeling officials and gentry, there was a person with the same rat tail as the flag man on his head, including the clothes on his body were also in the style of a flag man, which looked particularly abrupt in the crowd, especially the freshly shaved green scalp that was shiny and shiny.

"Who is this?"

Rui Wangye, who had just picked up Kong Yinzhi, saw the rat's tail at a glance, and he pointed to the man with a hint of surprise and said.

The man hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the ground and said after learning the movements of the banner man: "The grass people went to the Jinshi, so the Hanlin Yuan reviewed Sun Zhiqi to see the regent, and the grass people saw the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty in the year of knowing their fate, the regent was majestic, the king was mighty, and the heart was really yearning for it, so he followed the service of the king and the loyal heart, and did not get the permission of the regent, and asked His Royal Highness to surrender the crime." ”

"Mu Yi Xianghua, human nature, what is Sun Gong's crime? This king is in Beijing, and he has heard the name of Mr. Virtuous, and he has long had the heart of conquest, and he does not want to see here, so please do not take the presumptuous role of this king, follow the rise of Wolong, and follow this king into Beijing to help the Qing Dynasty! ”

Dorgon said with a smile on his face.

"Grass people, mountain and wild villager, why should He be invited by His Highness."

Sun Zhiqi said with a trace of trilling voice lying there.

"Mr. is too modest, who doesn't know that Mr. has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and it is the faint gentleman who has no way to depose Mr., and now I am in the Qing Dynasty Ding Yandu, it is the time for Mr. to show his talents."

After hearing the introduction of Sun Zhiqi by a person next to him, Dolgon said with a smile.

"Your Honor!"

Sun Zhiqi said busily.

"Gross!"

Behind him, I don't know which official finally couldn't hold back his retching.
