Zheng Zhibao just stared at Zheng Zhilong. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help but become a little impatient. He immediately shouted angrily: "To cut off people's wealth is to kill their parents. If you go against his mother, forget it!"

"Shut up!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong suddenly raised his head and shouted sternly, "It's so loud, do you want everyone outside to know?"

"Whatever!" Zheng Zhibao argued with some dissatisfaction, "Now the Zheng family is the only one who dominates the sea, what can the court do to us? Brother, it's fair to say, you want to steal money from us, what the hell..."

Those of them who had been pirates before knew how much profit there was at sea. I was about to make a lot of money, but something like this happened!

There was a "pop" sound, but Zheng Zhilong's face was filled with anger and he slapped Zheng Zhibao, interrupting his speech.

"Why did you hit me?" Zheng Zhibao asked angrily, covering his beaten cheek with one hand.

Zheng Zhilong shouted sternly: "Your wings are stiff, aren't you? Opening and closing your mouth and talking back, the king of heaven wants to kill you?"

Normally, Zheng Zhilong seldom gets angry, but is more silent or even sullen with a smile on his face. At this time, he was like a crazy lion, and Zheng Zhibao was frightened. He was not confident at all, but he still said stubbornly: "Did I say something wrong? If we go against it, who else can deal with us on the sea? Sea-going ships will have to pay protection fees to us, then..."

Perhaps he had lost his temper just now, which made Zheng Zhilong a little less angry. He turned his head and walked outside the cabin, but did not see anyone. Apparently, his subordinates followed the instructions and no one was around.

He then turned to look at Zheng Zhibao, his tone was a little gentler, but he still said angrily: "Don't forget, Li Kuiqi is not dead yet!"

"So what?" When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he curled his lips slightly and said with a bit of disdain, "Even if he has three heads and six arms, if he loses his men and the ship, what else can he do?"

"But he has the imperial court as his backer!" Zheng Zhilong pointed to the north with his hand. "The imperial court has naval forces in the south of the Yangtze River and Denglai navy in the north. If the imperial court really wants to support him, he needs ships and people. Do you believe that someone can build a maritime force several times larger than ours within a year or two?"

After hearing this, Zheng Zhibao still wanted to say something. But Zheng Zhilong didn't give him a chance and continued to lecture him: "Also, don't forget, we were able to achieve our current achievements only because we had the government as our backing to fight a bloody road."

Along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, there were many pirates. They even became sworn brothers at first, but it was just a means of intrigue. Among so many pirates, the Zheng family did not stand out at first...

Thinking of his experiences over the years, Zheng Zhibao stopped talking.

Seeing that his younger brother was finally listening, Zheng Zhilong finally completely controlled his temper, sat back, and then said in a calm tone: "Besides, whether the imperial court really wants to impose a sea ban has not yet been determined!" If there's any trouble, you're going to rebel, but it's no wonder you live a long life!"

When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm just saying it. Of course, I want you to get the idea!"

Zheng Zhilong did not answer his words, frowned slightly, looked down at his feet, and said as if speaking to himself: "Those Hongyi are not easy to mess with. If we only deal with them with our own strength, we will probably lose a lot. Also, we are not very stable internally, especially since Li Kuiqi is not dead and his appeal is still there!"

Having said this, he looked up at Zheng Zhibao and said: "This time I am escorting the grain to the Dongjiang River, just in time to see how Denglai Navy is doing and how Li Kuiqi is doing there? Also, I also want to take a look. Emperor Ming, meet this young emperor!"

"Brother, just do whatever you say!" Zheng Zhibao scratched his head and said, "I'm stupid, so I take care of everything!"

"Well!" Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "If there is any news here, remember to inform the elder brother in time. In addition, the elder brother is also thinking that we should send some people to the capital, otherwise we will be kept in the dark if something happens to the court. It’s not okay to stay in the dark!”

Having said this, he thought for a moment, then named a few people, and then explained: "When the fleet's supplies are completed, the eldest brother will continue to go north. These people, you ask them to come to see the eldest brother immediately, and follow him together Go north!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'll call them over right away." Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhibao turned around and left.

When Zheng Zhilong saw him, he was thinking about things, so he stopped him again and asked, "How is Fusong doing while I'm not here?"

When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he turned back and said with a smile: "My nephew is very smart. He studies hard and his husband praises him!"

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he waved his hand to let Zheng Zhibao go.

The emperor said that this time he escorted the grain to Dongjiang to give his son a royal guard. He hoped that this boy would be more successful in the future!

At this time, Zheng Zhilong had not yet thought about supporting his own troops or even rebelling. But if we follow the original historical development and give him a few years, Li Kuiqi will be dead by then, and he will kill Zhong Bin and other unstable people, truly become the dominant one, and start collecting and protecting a lot of money. fee.

In that case, if the imperial court imposes another sea ban and wants to touch the fat meat that he has eaten in his mouth, he might have the same thoughts as Zheng Zhibao.

When Zheng Zhilong completed the supplies and set off with the fleet again, his immediate boss, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian, had just arrived in the capital with Liu Guoneng.

When the capital, which he had been away from for a long time, was right in front of him, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

During the Tianqi period, he was just a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel. He resigned and returned home. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. After all, Han Chuang studied hard for half his life, finally passed the Jinshi examination, and the carp jumped over the dragon gate, just to become an official!

Now when he comes to the capital again, he is already a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty and a governor. Not many people in the Ming Dynasty can achieve this achievement!

Sun Chuanting knew that according to custom, when he came to the palace to deliver a speech, he could not see the emperor immediately. After all, the emperor had many things to do, so he had to have time before he could receive him.

He knew that Liu Guoneng was a native of Qin and had never been to the capital. Look, you can tell how knowledgeable he is by looking up at the tall city walls of the capital, with so many passers-by coming and going, and with his mouth wide open!

"Let's go, I'll take you for a walk!" Sun Chuanting greeted, and then left from the staff door according to his memory.

He knew that if he, a Jin native, went to Fujian to serve as a governor, he would need help to achieve good results. And this Liu Guoneng was the helper assigned to him by the imperial court. It was necessary to win over him and make him listen to him wholeheartedly.
