Chongzhen Chat Group

In the evening, in the chat group, in the Batavia temporary group, Su Minggang boldly said: "The pirates who are guarding now are very careful about the little people. I thought about talking to him today, but it turned out to be of no use. None. The old man is really incompetent!"

In this group, there was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the governors of the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and the commander of the Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Each one of them was a being that he looked up to. Although it was easy to talk in front of Su Minglun and others before. But when he actually came to talk in the group, Su Minggang still felt very stressed.

However, what he didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen was actually there, and responded to him immediately: "Are these pirates Ming pirates who fled to Nanyang with the Liu Xiang bandits?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Minggang was quite excited when he saw it, and quickly replied, "The leader's name is Chengquan. Judging from his accent, he is from Fuzhou area."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "I know about this. Let's do other things first!"

After hearing this, Su Minggang was a little confused about what the emperor meant. So what should we do about the pirates? Put it aside first?

Think about it, the emperor is far away in Ming Dynasty, what can he do to these pirates?

Thinking like this, he had no choice but to withdraw from the group and follow the emperor's will to do other things first. As for the pirates, he should think about it later!

Little did he know that Emperor Chongzhen turned around and had a private chat with Liang Xiaozhen, the third leader of Liu Xiang's pirate group, who had been added to the group. The reason why he didn't drag Liang Xiaozhen into the group was because he didn't want Su Minggang to know about it. After all, Liang Xiaozhen will play a very important role in the upcoming Nanyang War.

"Being a pirate like Quan, what's your status among Liu Xiang's pirates?"

Liang Xiaozhen heard the emperor's question and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this person's men suffered heavy losses in the battle of Taiping Port. After escaping to Nanyang, he only had more than 200 men. After arriving at Temasek, his men His subordinates have defected to other pirates, and the eighty or ninety people who are still following him are all sent by Liu Xiang to Batavia to work for the Dutch."

Liang Xiaozhen had already reported this matter before, but not in such detail. After hearing the emperor's question, he thought for a while and added: "It can be said that he is one of the weakest among Liu Xiang's pirate forces. One. Basically, other pirates look down on him, and he knows this himself. His strength is not as good as others, and when there are conflicts, he always pretends to be a grandson, almost to the point where he is bullied by others. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought it was just as he expected.

The Liu Xiang Pirate Group is composed of large and small pirate gangs. Naturally, they will not live in harmony among them. To help the Dutch supervise the work, you have to stay on the construction site all day long, which is not as happy as being at Temasek's home base. Only the most unpopular ones will be sent by Liu Xiang to deal with the Dutch.

While Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, Liang Xiaozhen remembered another thing and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is another thing that is also related to this becoming the whole world. That day when Liu Xiang was discussing in Juyi Hall, this became the whole world. He once proposed surrendering to the vassal king. However, his proposal was reprimanded by Liu Xiang. I am afraid it is for this reason that Liu Xiang sent him to Batavia this time!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel happy again after hearing this. In this way, it seems that this person can be used!

So, he asked Liang Xiaozhen: "Where does this person come from?"

"It seems to be from the Fuzhou area." Liang Xiaozhen was afraid of what the emperor would think, so she quickly explained, "When people go out to sea to make a living, they generally don't say where they are from. Just by the accent, they should be from there. Sometimes, Even the names have been changed."

"Then what about his surname, will it be fake?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.

After hearing this, Liang Xiaozhen immediately replied: "Most people don't dare to change their ancestral surname. My subordinates estimate that this surname should be true."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen knew what he was doing, marked some achievement points for Su Minggang, and then said to him: "Take a picture of Chengquan tomorrow."

Su Minggang was called back to the group by the system prompt. Hearing the emperor's order, he was a little confused, but he did not have the courage to disobey the emperor's order and quickly agreed.

What the emperor told him was a big deal. Early the next morning, a photo was posted to the group chat.

After Emperor Chongzhen saw it online, he said in the group: "Sun Qing, draw a portrait of this person and ask people to investigate the people with the surname Cheng near Fuzhou. This surname is relatively rare and should be easy to find. Then he posted the relevant information on In the group, let me see if it can be useful!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chuanting immediately agreed. Whether he could rescue the Ming people in Batavia was related to his official position. No matter from which angle, he had to be very active in doing things.

Su Minggang looked at this. Although he didn't know what the emperor was going to do, he knew one thing. The emperor was taking action and working hard to save them!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel extremely moved. You know, this is the Ming Emperor! He was actually working hard for them who were far away in Batavia. Which emperor would care so much about the people?

Two days later, at the Batavia construction site, the pirate leader glanced at the construction site with a gloomy expression. It can be seen that he is not in a good mood. In other words, he has never been in a good mood. Because of this, he didn't have a good look towards Akito here.

"Brother, you're so damn tired!" One of his men walked towards him and said dissatisfiedly, waving the sweat from his forehead, "These people are all slippery, and they start to act slippery if they don't watch carefully!"

When Cheng Quan heard this, he shouted coldly: "Just fight! Anyway, don't kill too many people, don't delay the construction period, these Western Yi won't care!"

As he said this, he glanced across the construction site and saw his men scattered around the construction site, all of them working hard. It's not like being in Temasek. If nothing happens at this time, you can at least lie down in your bed.

After hearing this, his subordinates echoed, then stood next to Chengquan, looking around at the others as well, and then asked: "Brother, when can we return to Temasek? Are there any other brothers who can replace us?"

After hearing this, Cheng Quan turned to look at him and said angrily: "Don't think about it, we only have these people, what else can we do? Join the boss and the others to fight with the imperial court?"

Hearing this, his men were a little disappointed. After being silent for a while, they suddenly turned to look at him, as if they wanted to speak, but were hesitant.

When Cheng Quan saw it, he stretched out his foot and kicked him over. At the same time, he yelled and cursed: "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, say it quickly. If you have anything to say, hurry up!"

After hearing this, his subordinates asked in a low voice without smiling: "Brother, do you think we...will we still have a chance to go back? At this point, the New Year is almost here at home!"

As soon as Chengquan heard this, he knew that when his subordinates said they were going back, they were not talking about going back to Temasek, but about going back to their hometown in the Ming Dynasty! As the Chinese New Year is approaching, I’m really starting to miss home again!

Thinking of this, he lost his ferocious look and turned his head to look in the direction of his hometown. He sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back, right?"

"Brother, we are so marginalized by them, why don't we go back secretly? At least we can see our family!"

Hearing this, Cheng Chengquan turned to stare at his subordinate until his subordinate started to dodge a little, and then he whispered: "Then what? It brings trouble to the family, and is worried all day long, like Like a mouse?"

"Oh, it would be great if the eldest brother accepted the proposal!" This subordinate sighed after hearing this, "Maybe we can at least go home openly. Or, we can bring our family members over, and we can It’s better to live under the feudal lord than to live like this now!”

Hearing this, Chengquan was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "It's the big brother's incompetence that makes you all bullied. If someone pulls you to join them, big brother won't blame you!"

As soon as his subordinates heard this, their expressions immediately changed, and they replied: "Brother, what are you talking about? The rest of our brothers are all determined to follow eldest brother. Otherwise, we would not come to Batavia with eldest brother." Got it!"

The night before they came to Batavia, some people were unwilling to come and went to join other pirate leaders.

After Cheng Quan listened, he reached out and patted his shoulder without saying a word. He turned his head and looked forward, looking a little guilty and a little lonely.

When he looked up, he suddenly saw a man walking towards him on crutches. Suddenly, the expression on his face changed, replacing it with the previous fierce look.

His men also saw it, took two steps forward, and shouted sternly at the visitor: "What are you doing here, you old fool? Are you looking for death? Still don't want to give up on your Kapitan, huh?"

The person who came was none other than the former Kapitan Sumingang. With a smile on his face, he nodded and said, "I came to tell the boss something!"

"Are you here to complain about your suffering and tiredness again?" When his men heard this, they immediately shouted, "Get out! Get away as far as you want! You thieves can deceive the Dutch, but you can't deceive us!" "

Su Minggang was not angry after hearing this. He had tried to communicate once before, but was scolded and almost beaten. But this time it was different, he was very sure.

With this in mind, he continued to move forward on crutches and took a few steps closer. When he saw that the two pirates were going crazy, he stopped, smiled and said to Chengquan: "Master, there is something. I want to talk to you privately!”

Before Chengquan said anything, his subordinates started to get angry when they saw that the old man didn't listen to him, "Didn't you hear me tell you to get out? You damn old man..."

As he spoke, he wanted to step forward and take action. These pirates have no good impressions of the bright people in Batavia at all. If they hadn't done things in an irregular manner, it would have been their turn to be the overseers in Batavia.

Seeing this situation, Su Minggang couldn't help but raise his voice and said to Chengquan: "What I want to say will be of great benefit to the leader!"

However, Cheng Quan was completely unmoved and ignored him. His men also continued to face him, as if they were going to beat him.

"Young man!" Seeing this, Su Minggang shouted hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Chengquan's men raised their whips and shouted angrily: "A dog crawls on you old mother, let a dog crawl on you..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. He strode forward, pushed his men away, grabbed Su Minggang's collar, and shouted sternly: "Where did you hear that?"

His men had already stood firm at this time, looking at his elder brother with a bit of surprise, wondering what was going on?

Naturally, he didn't know that Goubanzai was Quan's nickname. Ever since he went to sea, no one knew this name. How could he not be surprised when Su Minggang suddenly called him out!

Seeing Cheng Quan's reaction, although Su Minggang was held by his collar, he felt confident and immediately said with a smile: "I have something to discuss with the boss alone!"

After hearing this, Chengquan stared at Su Minggang coldly for a while, then let go, then waved his hand and drove him away. Then, Chengquan turned to look at Su Minggang and shouted coldly: "I won't give it today. I’ve made it clear, I guarantee you won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow!”

Su Minggang didn't take this threat seriously at all. He straightened his clothes, turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one could hear him, he turned back, looked at Cheng Quan, and said with a smile: "I'm here to give you a message." A way for the master to abandon darkness and turn to light!"

Seeing that Cheng Quan seemed to be about to have an attack, he immediately said: "Let me tell you the truth, your nickname was told by the Emperor to ask Governor Sun to send someone to check. Your old mother said it. I want you to go back and reunite, do you know?"

When Su Minggang said this, he didn't seem to believe it when he saw Chengquan, so he immediately talked in detail about some typical things that happened when Chengquan was a child. It can be said that these things are impossible for others to know except for Quan and his family.

After hearing these words, Chengquan's face changed. He no longer looked fierce, or maybe he was homesick. There seemed to be a hint of sadness.

After Su Minggang finished speaking, he looked at Chengquan and said seriously: "You should have heard about Lu Songmingren, right? There is also the old man in the court who is old and incompetent, but he happened to be selected by the emperor, and he has the ability of clairvoyance and ears. Now I have an emperor’s decree for you, what happens from now on depends on your choice!”

Chengquan's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking up and down at Su Minggang, with a look of disbelief on his face. However, what Su Minggang said about him just now made it difficult for him to explain. He did not believe that this old man Su knew about his family's affairs, otherwise, he would not have said it today.

Su Minggang looked at him like this. After waiting for a while, he asked quietly: "If you still want to go home and be reunited and see your old mother and your little brother Cheng Bu, then change your ways and return to the right ways." Just listen to the old man. Everything in the past, the emperor has said that we will not pursue further."
