"It's really an accident!"

When Zhu Jie saw the ragged Xu Peiming walking into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, his heart had already sunk to the bottom!

Although Xu Peiming was born in the military, he is one of the few intellectuals among Zhu Jie's henchmen and generals who have a reputation for showing talent, and he is knowledgeable, otherwise he would not have been directly in charge of the earliest firearms battalion of the Tianwei Army as soon as he came up, and was directly brought to Nanjing by Zhu Jie, continued to be in charge of the firearms battalion, encountered the affairs of negotiating with foreigners, and even directly sent Xu Peiming to Nanyang on business, this is not an easy errand, other people do not know the West, Nanyang affairs, only Xu Peiming can do it, this is a gentleman, I pay the most attention to my own image, but now it has become this situation, needless to say, it is definitely in addition to a huge change.

"The criminal minister Xu Peiming sees the emperor!"

Xu Peiming fell directly to the ground and couldn't cry.

"Pei Ming! What the hell is going on? Is it in addition to the accident in Nanyang? What about John Tong? ”

Zhu Jie shouted.

Xu Peiming said miserably: "Emperor Qi, the minister and Mr. Tang Ruowang completed negotiations with the foreigners from Nanyang, purchased a large number of firearms with the silver taels they brought, escorted the arms back to Daming, and traveled all the way, just arrived at the southern tip of Taiwan Island hundreds of miles, and suddenly encountered a pirate attack, we only have a hundred soldiers, we can't resist the attack of the other party at all, almost all the firearms and ammunition are lost, even Mr. Tang Ruowang's whereabouts are unknown, it is very likely that he has been captured by pirates......"

What the!

Although Zhu Jie already had an ominous premonition, when he heard Xu Peiming's reply, his head still felt dizzy, and all the firearms and ammunition he had spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy were robbed! Although the amount of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is huge, Zhu Jie is not distressed, the money, spend it and earn it again, but firearms are different, this thing has a price and no market, without this batch of equipment, his own Beijing camp, if he wants to complete the configuration, it will be extended for at least three or four months, or even longer, now that the Manchurian Tartars have advanced to Huai'an Mansion, the decisive battle can no longer be delayed, how can this be good?

"Smack!"

Zhu Jie slammed a cup on the ground and smashed it!

"Xu Peiming, where are the pirates so bold as to dare to hijack the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty! How can this be justified, how can this be justified! If I don't find out about this matter, I will not be a man! Come on, immediately summon hundreds of officials to the palace to discuss matters! ”

Zhu Jie roared.

"Your Majesty!"

Cha Xuan said in a low voice: "Although Pei Ming only brought a hundred soldiers to protect the fleet, but these hundred people are all good hands in the army, they were drawn from the right town of Nanjing, all equipped with muskets, bows and arrows, spears, sharp blades, strong combat power, ordinary pirates, I am afraid that three or five hundred people may not be able to help them, this is definitely not an ordinary pirate's doing, do you think it will be a foreign devil who played a conspiracy with us, first made money, and then turned back and snatched the arms back?" ”

Zhu Jie's brows have been twisted into a pimple, his eyes are spewing fire, Xu Peiming is his favorite general, if he is replaced by someone else, he is afraid that he has already been taken down, and now this matter must be solved in the shortest possible time!

"No, it won't!"

Xu Peiming said suddenly: "Emperor Qi, when the minister led the brothers to resist, he had already seen clearly, these pirates are by no means red-haired devils, they are all our Oriental appearances, a bit like the Ming Dynasty, and the language is close to the Fujian and Zhejiang accents, but the outfits are a little like the Oriental Japanese people......"

Wolver?

Zhu Jie's eyebrows were raised, and the anger in his heart burned even more, damn it, little devil, Lao Tzu didn't clean you up, but you sent it to the door! You are dying by yourself, once it is really your dog's hand, Lao Tzu will definitely step on the entire Dongying!

Xu Peiming continued: "These pirates have a strength of about five or six hundred people, driving seven or eight big Qingtou, and there are also some small warships, not a lot of firearms, but their warships are huge, although not as big as our merchant ships, but they are much larger than our warships, and they drove Daqingtou and sank three of our warships directly, and jumped on our warships with the help of sampans, and launched a fierce attack on us, it affects the combat power of the brothers, and it is impossible to resist at all......"

"You're the only one who came back?"

Zhu Jie asked with a gloomy face.

"There are also more than a dozen brothers from the right town of Nanjing, who are now resting in the military headquarters......

Cha Shu hurriedly replied.

Zhu Jie shouted: "Spread the decree, bring all the people who have returned into the Qianqing Palace, I want to know more detailed information, even if it is any detail, I can't let it go!" ”

When the ministers entered the Qianqing Palace, the soldiers who returned with Xu Peiming were also brought to the main hall.

"Tell me what the hell is going on!"

Zhu Jie shouted to the kneeling soldiers.

Everyone told everything one by one, there was no big difference, but just when Zhu Jie and the ministers were very annoyed, a soldier from the right town of Nanjing in the back suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the little one still has a little doubt, that is, I feel that these people don't look like Japanese people, it seems that they are dressed up as Japanese people, and the Japanese people will not be so fluent in the Fujian and Zhejiang languages spoken by the Japanese people, they are all very blunt, and the small ones seem to have seen the upper flag of a big green head behind them at that time, It seems to be the banner of Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the Fujian Navy......"

Zheng Zhilong?

Zhu Jie's heart was shocked, and he shouted: "Have you seen clearly? ”

"The little one was resisting the pirates with all his might, and I didn't really see it, but before the little one joined the army, he had gone to sea with his father to fish several times, and he had seen the flag of the Zheng family many times, which was the flag of the Zheng family's private army, but all the caravans with the Zheng family's flag, the fleet was on the sea, and there were no pirates, including foreigners looking for their trouble, small suspicions, this is what Zheng Chenggong's sailors did, although they claimed to be the army of the imperial court, but it was a common thing to rob caravans on the sea......"

Yes, Zhu Jie was a little abrupt, Zheng Zhilong had lived in the East for many years, had close contacts with the Orientals, and even his wife was Oriental, and now he controlled a large area of the sea from the East to the South Seas, Xu Peiming said, hundreds of pirates, no less than six or seven hundred, and there are also large warships like Daqingtou, pirates? Joke, where can an ordinary pirate show such strength?

Hundreds of elite sea forces can slaughter a small country in the South Seas!

"Zheng Zhilong, I hope it's not you, if it's you, I will uproot your dog's day!"

Zhu Jie gritted his teeth and said.
