Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 927
As the group leader, Emperor Chongzhen naturally has the authority to view all private chats in the group.Therefore, he has seen all the contacts Wang Chengen made through the chat group.This is the first person who used the chat group as a tool to conduct private chats to solve the problem. Before that, neither Wen Tiren nor Liu Xingzuo did this, and most of them reported to him directly.

Regarding this situation, Emperor Chongzhen was actually very pleased.There are more and more members in the chat group, and naturally, there are more and more things.Although they were asked to sort out and screen the chat situations in the chat group, and finally went to the queen to sort out a final draft for themselves to review, but people's energy was limited after all.If other people can take the initiative to use the chat group to do things like Wang Chengen, and this is completely under their own monitoring, it will save a lot of effort.

For example, this time, I have been caring about the food issue. I have been paying attention to the reclamation and planting of the grain fields in Liaodong, and I have less energy in other aspects.Then Wang Chengen himself was verifying the members of the chat group, and he found one of the Liu Xiang pirates, just like Ma San before, and persuaded him to provide information, knowing that a large number of pirates in Liu Xiang's lair were waiting for rabbits , waiting for Zheng Zhilong to come to the door.The more valuable information is that the Dutch in Taiwan will eventually fight against Ming together with the pirates as in the original history.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a little regretful about this, he didn't care at all.Because he knows that the colonists in the Netherlands still like to colonize at the root, rather than doing business in an orderly manner.Or their colonization in other countries and regions was too smooth, and they felt that in the contact with Daming, although they had suffered a defeat before, they thought that it was because of conspiracy and large numbers of people that Daming forcibly cut off their supplies. However, in terms of real combat power, they still look down on Daming's small boats and cannons.

Also, the Dutch have always occupied Taiwan, and they even want Ming to give them a place on land to station the fleet. This kind of thing is also unacceptable to Emperor Chongzhen whose soul comes from later generations.That being the case, it's done.Although the issue of food imports will be affected, it cannot be compromised for this reason.If that's the case, it's really a waste of time.

There is food in Nanyang, and Daming himself sent a navy to fetch it.If the strength of the navy is not enough, then vigorously develop the navy; if there is not enough time, then gather all the navy of Daming, and then continue to let several shipyards build ships. I really don’t believe it. Some kind of bird people from afar from the country can show off their might in front of Daming?This happened to be an opportunity to give myself enough reasons to let all civil and military officials know the importance and urgency of developing a navy.It can also spread the influence of Ming Dynasty to Southeast Asia through the Daming Navy, laying the foundation for future vassal kings to entrust overseas.Otherwise, Xiyi has always controlled Nanyang, and if there is any situation in Ming Dynasty that needs to be realized through Xiyi, it will not be conducive to the future national policy of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen learned from the chat group that the pirates were going to attack Taiping Port tomorrow, and he also knew that the battle here was ready.However, based on the current situation, it is somewhat regrettable.Forget it, everything can't be perfect, just wait for the result of tomorrow's battle!
Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and took a rest with Concubine Yuan Gui in his arms.

At the dawn of the next day, the sky in the east showed a hint of fish belly white, and it became brighter and brighter. It is estimated that the rising sun will jump out of the mountains and illuminate the world in a short time.

At this time, small black spots appeared faintly on the sea outside Taiping Port, more and more, more and more.These small black dots, if you get close, you can see them clearly. They are all big ships with bows and bows, and most of them are hung with skull flags that symbolize pirates.

On one of the bow warships, there was a man holding a monocular with a serious face, observing the side of Taiping Harbor.Around him, Liu Xiang, Li Guozhu and other pirate leaders stood.They didn't have binoculars, so they couldn't see the situation of Taiping Harbor clearly, so they could only look at Putmans who was using binoculars.

This monocular, they call it a clairvoyance, if there is such a thing at sea, it can detect the situation in time and respond to it earlier than others, it is a very powerful good thing.It's just a pity that the current clairvoyance is only Hongyi and those Frangji people, which can't be bought with money, only envy.

Liu Xiang and other pirate leaders thought so, and at the same time they were looking forward to good news.After all, all the big guys have come here. If the boat sent by Zheng Yiguan had not returned first as expected, the attack would have been more difficult.

"That's right, there aren't many warships in Taiping Harbor!" Putmans put down his binoculars and said with a smile on his face.

Although they couldn't understand Putmans' bird language at the first time, they could get some information from his expression.After hearing the translation, it was indeed the case, and everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed.Liu Xiang even patted his third master, Liang Xiaozhen, on the shoulder and said loudly: "Third brother, yes, thanks to you bringing this news in time, I will remember your credit later!"

"..." Liang Xiaozhen heard this, and she could only smile wryly in her heart, but she immediately responded, "Don't dare, I just told what I heard. It was the master and everyone who analyzed this opportunity!"

Liu Xiang and the others regarded him as modest and didn't take it seriously. They turned their heads to look at Taipinggang, just like a pervert seeing a naked beauty, or like a miser seeing a golden mountain, all of them smiled happily.

"Let's go, go back to your boat, and prepare to attack!" Liu Xiang raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, Taiping Port is full of sea goods. I have a word beforehand. I can only keep half of the things I snatched, and I have to hand over the rest." Credit is given!"

This was agreed before, Liu Xiang just emphasized again after the incident came to an end, he was afraid that some pirates had dirty hands and feet, if they found out by then, don't blame him for being rude!

When the pirate leaders heard this, they immediately scattered away screaming, climbed down to their own boat, and headed for their own fleet.Looking at their impatient actions, it is easy to find that they are already impatient.

When the rising sun leaped out of the hills and illuminated the earth, the pirate fleet was already very close to Taiping Port.At this time, the pirates could all hear the Ming army on the shore beating the gong in panic, and the sound of "clang, clang, clang" became one.As far as I can see, there are really not many naval warships in Taiping Harbor. Although they are all preparing to fight, the number is too small after all.
