Tagawa Nanazaemon was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Father, of course the child knows the tacit agreement we have reached with the East India Company, how can we go back and rob the goods of the East India Company?" This fleet did not hang the flag of the East India Company, nor did it hang the flag of our Zheng family, it was the flag of the Ming Dynasty, hehe, the imperial court was just robbed, and the imperial court was already in a hurry to deal with the invasion of Manchuria, where is the energy to care about the looting of caravans at sea? ”

Zheng Zhilong's heart sank, robbing the imperial court's fleet? This Tagawa Nanazaemon, now things are getting more and more outrageous, the current emperor is not Emperor Chongzhen, but the eloquent Emperor Jianyuan, a Zhu Jie is ten times stronger than Emperor Chongzhen?

"You're robbing the official's fleet?"

Zheng Zhilong asked.

Tagawa Nanazaemon nodded and replied, "Yes, it should be the official fleet, three big ships, seven small boats, and there are almost five or six hundred people on board, but where are they the opponents of children?" Among them, there were only more than 100 officers and soldiers, all of whom were defeated by the child, and even the head was captured by the child, and only three small boats fled all the way to the north and ran away. ”

Zheng Zhilong's heart is a little heavy, if this matter is not discovered, it is good to say, once it is discovered by the imperial court, he will not be able to eat and walk around, although the imperial court is unable to take care of himself now, but what about after repelling the Manchurians?

Zheng Zhibao on the side asked, "Jiro, what goods did you rob?" How much is silver worth? Look at your proud appearance, there must be a few, right? ”

"Haha......"

Tagawa Nanazaemon laughed and said: "Uncle, this time what we grabbed is not an ordinary cargo, but firearms, firearms, Western red-coated artillery and arquebuses, I brought them a pot end, almost fifty red-coated artillery, thousands of arquebuses, in addition, there are a large number of ammunition and other goods, in my nephew's opinion, these things are worth no less than 500,000 taels of silver, of course, even 500,000 taels of silver, and they may not be able to exchange for these firearms. We've dealt with the East India Company several times, and we've always wanted to buy their firearms, but these foreign devils don't sell them to us, even if they cost a lot of money, we don't need to spend a tael of silver to get them this time, haha, it's definitely a big deal! ”

Bang......

Zheng Zhilong slammed his fist on the bookcase, his face turned pale, and he shouted: "Bastard, who let you dogs make their own decisions?" Firearms, dozens of artillery, and thousands of muskets, which were bought by the imperial court from foreigners in every possible way, and were used by the imperial court to fight against the Manchurian Tatars. You are to die, to die! ”

Zheng Zhilong is really anxious, if it is an ordinary goods, even if it is worth three or five hundred thousand taels of silver, the emperor will definitely not find trouble for himself at this time, after all, resisting the invasion of the Manchurian Tatars is the most important thing, and at this time, there must be no extraneous branches, Zheng Zhilong is confident, Zhu Jie is a person who can distinguish priorities, and will not lose big because of small things, even if he wants to be investigated, it will be a matter for the future.

However, now it's different, all the weapons purchased by the imperial court from overseas have been robbed, so can Zhu Jie not be in a hurry? From the South Sea to the East Ocean, under whose control are the sea lanes? Of course it's yourself, of course it's the Zheng family's world! Just under your Zheng Zhilong's nose so many weapons and ammunition were robbed, how could Zhu Jie give up, even if there is no evidence, you can ask yourself about your crimes, it is not good to protect the sea frontier, once you get your own evidence, it will be even different, if you don't do it, you will uproot yourself, this Zhu Jie is extremely ruthless, how many noble and wealthy families have fallen under his butcher's knife!

"Uh...... Father, what's wrong with this? Could it be that the imperial court still wants to tear our faces apart because of this? After so many years, the imperial court has long wanted to deal with us, when has it succeeded? Our Fujian sailors dominate the world and are invincible, even if the emperor has the heart to deal with us, he doesn't have the ability, right? ”

Tagawa Nanazaemon was stunned.

Zheng Zhilong roared angrily: "You know a fart! Now it's not Emperor Chongzhen who is in charge, it's Emperor Jianyuan, who is invincible in the north and south, the invincible Emperor Jianyuan, decisive in killing, eloquent and strategic, what are you doing without anything to provoke him? What are you provoking him for! Do you really think that no one can hold it down now? Your shitty day is a catastrophe that will ruin your family! ”

"Big brother, big brother is angry, this, Jiro doesn't know the current changes in the court, he is in Dongying, how do you know that the court has changed the emperor? Now you're blaming him, what's the use? ”

Zheng Zhibao on the side hurriedly comforted Zheng Zhilong.

"Shut up!"

Zheng Zhilong shouted: "If you don't know, just grab it?" These are all military supplies that the imperial court is waiting for, but I am afraid that the emperor has already waited for the red eye, once he knows about it, what will be the consequences? Do you think that the emperor will attack us only when he has evidence in his hand? Without evidence, he can still attack us, and he only needs one charge of defending the unfavorable sea frontier, and my position as Admiral of the Navy will have to be replaced! What's more, Nanjing has already established an intelligence department, and the intelligence department has staff all over the state capitals, how do you know that we don't have people from the intelligence department in Fuzhou? How do you know that the people on the three merchant ships that slipped away won't find out that this is our Zheng family's private army doing it? It's a matter of life and death for Daming, will Zhu Jie give up with us? ”

Zheng Zhibao's face turned pale, and he snorted: "Then what should I do, big brother, no matter what Jiro says, he is also your own son......"

Zheng Zhilong's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he shouted: "Jiro, let me ask you, are all your captives coming to Fuzhou?" Is it possible to guarantee that there is no escape in the middle? ”

Tagawa Nanazaemon nodded hurriedly and said: "Father, we went all the way north from the south of Kaohsiung, without the slightest stop on the road, and came directly to the Mawei Military Port, now all the prisoners are in the fleet, and none of them have escaped, I dare to guarantee, this is, on top of the other three merchant ships, there are still some people, I don't know if they can find out our virtual reality......

"Okay, if you don't find out, what else can you do now? Can you still get them back? Immediately send an order, execute all the captives in the fleet, execute them secretly, call the dead soldiers in our family to execute, you will personally supervise and behead me, not a single one will be left alive, and there will be no forgiveness! When the court interrogates, then there is no proof of death, and it is absolutely impossible to admit it! Once the news leaks, you won't be able to save your head! ”
