It's just that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and what Cha Xuan didn't expect was that it was just a pirate, and he actually wiped out the sailors sent by Zheng Sen in one fell swoop.

That's right, this is not an ordinary pirate at all, it is the most powerful pirate in the entire East today - the combined fleet of Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai!

Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui received Wu Xing's personal request for help, and the two of them were already anxious, Yanhuang Company, this is the emperor's industry, providing a large amount of income to the imperial court every year, and the imperial court was able to destroy Manchuria in one fell swoop within two years, completely because, Yanhuang Company and Yongxing Bank were supported by two money-making machines, and in more than two years, the imperial court spent two or thirty million taels on military salaries alone, without the help of the two major money-making machines, it was absolutely impossible for the imperial court to win so easily.

Now the Yanhuang Company was robbed of millions of taels of silver by pirates, if the goods are not recovered as soon as possible, then the Yanhuang Company will definitely be greatly damaged, millions of taels of silver, this is not a small amount, you know, even the imperial court, a year's income is only 20 million taels of silver!

"Sen'er, what do you think?"

The two of them sent Wu Xing and his party away, and Zheng Hongkui asked in a deep voice.

Zheng Chenggong sighed and replied: "Uncle, needless to say, it must have been done by Tian Chuan, who was able to mobilize thirty warships in one go, and it was more than a thousand warships, except for Western countries, only the Daming Sailors in the entire East had such strength, and Western countries did not have careful preparations, and easily, they did not dare to make a move against the Ming Empire, after all, they knew that this was the company of the Ming Imperial Family; As for the two major sailors of the empire, it is impossible to rob their own people, unless they are tired and crooked, think about it, the forces with such strength are only Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai of Dongying, after all, Ah Cai has taken away one-third of the combat power of our Fujian Naval Division, and it is also an elite combat power, except for the two of them, I really can't think of anyone with such strength and reason......"

Zheng Hongkui's face is a little unsightly, anyway, Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai are both members of the Zheng family, and whether it is Tagawa Nanazaemon or Zheng Cai, Zheng Hongkui grew up watching, both of them are rising stars, just because they took a wrong step and fell into the abyss, it has reached the point of no return.

"Uncle, this time we are going to make a move anyway, millions of taels of silver goods and gold and silver, definitely not a small amount, the other end of the contact is the emperor and more than a dozen nobles in Nanjing, we can't afford to provoke at all, once these nobles rise up and attack it, even the emperor is difficult to maintain us, not to mention that the emperor has always been wary of us, this Zhejiang and Fujian were originally our defense areas, now in addition to such a big thing, the two of us bear the brunt, and there is no room for maneuver......"

Zheng Chenggong said astringently.

Zheng Hongkui nodded and replied: "Sen'er, since this is the case, then I will go to sea in person, if I can convince Zheng Cai, it is naturally the best, if the two of them are going to go all the way to the dark, then it is no wonder that we are the masters, each is its master, we can't take the entire Zheng family into it for the two of them!" ”

After Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong finished discussing, he gathered the front army and the three naval divisions on the left and right flanks, and chased them all the way to the northeast with dozens of warships.

Not only Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui is also a little overbearing, they heard that the pirates have more than 30 warships, and the combat power is still expected, Zheng Hongkui thinks that the mobilization of two naval battalions, a full 50 warships, with sufficient ammunition, is enough to defeat the pirate fleet of Tagawa Nanaemon and Zheng Cai.

However, what the two of them don't know is that the current Tagawa is no longer the original Tagawa.

Zheng Zhilong ruled the sea route from the East to the South Seas for more than twenty years, and established two huge bases in the vast western Pacific, one was Fujian and the other was Edo in the east, and now the power of Fujian is controlled by Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui, and the power of Dongying is completely in the hands of Tagawa.

Although Edo is not comparable to Fujian, but Edo also has places that Fujian can't compare, Zheng Zhilong started in Dongying, and married with Dongying's big family, the Tagawa family, forming a huge to the extreme, and Tagawa Nanazaemon is Zheng Zhilong's spokesperson who stayed in Dongying, even if there is no Zheng family in Fujian, Tagawa Shichizaemon still has a huge power, and now he has taken Zheng Cai's sailor from Quanzhou, and the power has become stronger.

However, Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai both knew that it was impossible to resist the Ming Empire and take revenge just by relying on such a little military force under their hands, according to the military power in the hands of the two people, it may be barely possible to fight against the Fujian Navy, but it is far worse to face the joint attack of the Fujian Navy.

What to do?

The only way is to expand the scale of the water division in hand.

Anyway, Tagawa Nanazaemon has money, over the years, the Zheng family has earned through looting and trade, forty percent of the family property has remained in Edo, even if it is only forty percent, it is also an eye-popping wealth, as high as seven or eight million taels of silver, in addition, there is also the wealth of the Tagawa family, together, it is definitely an astronomical amount, I am afraid that it will not exceed ten million taels of silver.

In less than a year, Tagawa Nanazaemon scattered a lot of money in his hands, on the one hand, he was preparing to build a naval division battleship in Edo, and on the other hand, he bought a battleship from a Western power, and bought it again and again, and in less than a year, the main battleships controlled by Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai grew from more than 50 ships to more than 80 ships in one breath! It also included two or three thousand ships purchased from the Dutch and the Spaniards!

As for the soldiers of the water division, it is even simpler, there are the backbone of Zheng Cai's water division, and there are water pirates who rob houses and houses along the coast of Dongying, smashing them all the way with silver, collecting countless people, and even establishing an infantry force of more than 30,000 people!

Tagawa Nanazaemon looked at the silver like flowing water, slipped out of his hand, and the tip of his distressed liver trembled, but he had to grit his teeth in distress, revenge, he must take revenge, it was all caused by Zheng Sen and Zheng Hongkui, two bastards, if he didn't kill the two of them, he couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart!

As for Zheng Cai, he wished that Tian Chuan would smash the silver, and wanted to avenge his uncle, but he didn't have enough strength, that is, he was daydreaming, and now Zheng Cai has no doubt that Tian Chuan's determination to avenge his father, and he smashed at least two or three million taels of silver in a year, if he wasn't completely overwhelmed by hatred, he would never do such a crazy thing.
