Chapter 917
When Zhong Bin saw it, he couldn't help being taken aback. He didn't expect that Liu Xiang had such an idea.He immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, although Zheng Zhilong seems to be nice to me on the surface, but he is actually guarding against me. If I want to take his life, I can't do it."

No one is a fool, whether it is good or bad, these gangsters know it in their hearts.

When the third master heard this, he immediately understood that Zhong Bin agreed with the alliance in his heart. He couldn't help but feel happy, and then said: "Brother Zhong was wrong, that's not what he meant. When we were fighting, you suddenly appeared behind If Zheng Zhilong is stabbed, even if he fails, as long as it is marked that Zheng Zhilong is on the bow of the ship, he will certainly be doomed!"

Hearing this, Zhong Bin felt that he was the one who stabbed his brother in the back, and was very unhappy.However, he immediately thought of something from the words of the third master, and said decisively: "Could it be that you are dealing with Zheng Zhilong with those Hongyi?"

The third master was surprised when he heard it, and wanted to deny it, but when he thought about what he said just now, he suddenly realized that only those Xiyi ships were fast and the artillery was powerful, which was in line with what he said just now.Everyone is in the sea, and there are those forces that are naturally well known.But at the moment, although Zhong Bin had the intention of betraying the water, he did not agree after all, and it was difficult for him to speak out, so he remained silent.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Bin knew that he had guessed right. He immediately said, "When we were dealing with Li Kuiqi before, those Hongyi were helping Zheng Zhilong. Now the Hongyi are going to join forces to deal with Zheng Zhilong. It's really strange." ! Your words are not complete and untrue, you are secretive, and the talk is boring, just leave it like this, so you can leave!"

Hearing this, San Dangjia thought about it a little bit and said: "Brother Zhong is so powerful, it is indeed as you said, Hongyi has agreed to deal with Zheng Zhilong together. Not only this, but also several other families who have been in the sea together, have already lost their blood For alliance."

When Zhong Bin heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face and he said, "I know those red barbarians are double-faced. If that's the case, I'll do it!"

In the original history, the Dutch finally turned against Zheng Zhilong. It was also during Putmans’ tenure as governor that he decided to use force to force Ming to compromise and open sea trade. For this reason, warships were specially transferred from Batavia, and I went to contact Liu Xiang to deal with the Ming navy, which is actually Zheng Zhilong's department.But after the two sides came and went several times, Zheng Zhilong became ruthless and issued a quack order, paying a lot of money to buy the enemy's head. Finally, a decisive battle broke out in Liuluowan, and Zheng Zhilong won a big victory.

But on this plane, the situation is slightly different.Although the Ming Dynasty opened up the sea, it strictly taxed and investigated smuggling, had a clear understanding of sovereignty, and the contempt of the barbarians by local officials still aroused the dissatisfaction of the Dutch.The leaders who initiated the anti-Ming alliance were Liu Xiang and the smuggling gentry behind him.They know more about the domestic situation of Ming Dynasty, so they are more prepared, and because of this, the strength of the anti-Ming alliance is stronger this time.Relatively speaking, because of Emperor Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong was already willing to be used by the imperial court, and has been contributing to the imperial court. He was busy traveling from south to north, so he did not develop his own power well. His strength is weaker than in the original history.

After the third leader's openness and sincerity, after Zhong Bin learned the specific situation, based on his own situation, he immediately agreed without saying a word.After the two sides closed the door and conspired for a while, the third master took advantage of the cover of night and left Zhong Bin's mansion.

However, he did not expect that there was a tail following him until he entered a private house and did not come out for a long time.The tail left in a hurry and arrived at the same unremarkable private house.

The man stepped forward, knocked on the door several times regularly, and the door opened. He immediately asked in a low voice, "Has the factory master rested?"

"Not yet." The person who opened the door replied in a low voice, and then asked curiously, "Any news?"

The man just nodded slightly, and then walked in familiarly. It didn't take long before he saw him and wanted to meet someone.

"Mr. Factory, today a person sneaked into Zhong Bin's residence, and about half an hour later, he left sneakily again. The subordinates think that this person is suspicious and may be related to the smuggling. The subordinates think that , you can secretly arrest this person and interrogate him, and you will be rewarded!"

The owner of the factory is naturally Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory.He investigated the smuggling incident, and the people behind the scenes who were separating Daming and Hongyi secretly went to Taiping Port.Because of the clues of those wealthy merchants provided by Emperor Chongzhen, he followed the clues and finally discovered that it seemed that Zheng Zhilong's subordinate, the man named Zhong Bin, was also involved in smuggling by using his boat.

However, Zhong Bin was also considered a cunning person. Although the several clues held by Dongchang all pointed to Zhong Bin in the end, there was no real evidence.Therefore, Wang Chengen sent someone to watch Zhong Bin, and did not startle the snake.The reason for this is because in today's Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian could do whatever he wanted when he was in power in the absence of apocalypse.And when he was in the palace, he also knew that the emperor valued the navy and Zheng Zhilong.If there was no evidence and Zhong Bin was arrested rashly, he was afraid that the emperor would dislike him, so he would not do it.

Hearing the report from his subordinates at this time, Wang Chengen immediately asked, "But the one in the portrait?"

He was referring to the one who went to the Hongyi Fleet to sow discord, and this person was his important target for going south this time.

"No!" His subordinates immediately shook their heads, not daring to lie to the factory owner.

Wang Chengen thought for a moment, then told him: "I'll give you a few more people to watch him dead. If there is any real evidence, arrest him immediately!"

Just after explaining the matter, another subordinate came to see him.

"Reporting to Mr. Zhang, Tang Ruowang, the missionary of Frangji, is preaching in secret, and he has already developed many believers. His subordinates found out that they will have a big meeting five days later!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "You actually ignored His Majesty's will and preached in secret. Could it be that you also want to come to the White Lotus Sect?"

Compared with the previous matter, he paid more attention to this matter.After all, the emperor has a clear order, and if they don't change their teachings, it is strictly forbidden to preach in Daming.Moreover, since ancient times, the imperial court has strictly guarded against illegal preaching.After all, there are many such examples. When someone wants to rebel, they will first use religious secrets to confuse the foolish people.

Therefore, Wang Chengen immediately ordered and sent more people to keep an eye on Tang Ruowang.Once the foolish people really gather, report it immediately.

After talking about this, he turned his head and asked the human who had been waiting by his side all the time: "Is there any news from the people from Zhejiang and Guangdong?"
