I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

When Mrs. Yang returned to Jiaodian, almost everyone had arrived. Yang Xu was arranging for people to greet her. When he saw her coming back, he quickly asked: "How is it? Have you met Mr. Bu Tang? Mr. Bu Tang?" What do you say, sir?"

"I can probably guess what happened. Is Shopkeeper Liu who is in the warehouse business here?"

"No."

"Gang Leader Li, I remember you told me that most of Shopkeeper Liu's goods will be sold to the Dutch. Are you sure?"

"affim."

"Okay, now it's not the Fourth Master's fault alone. I suspect this is a conspiracy against the entire Zheng family. Yang Xu, immediately arrange for manpower. No matter what method is used to go to the Liu family, I must invite Shopkeeper Liu. "

"Sister, do you suspect...that this matter has something to do with the Dutch?"

"The only people on the sea that Mr. Long can call trouble are the Dutch."

…………

"Eunuch Yang, how is the overall situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces now?"

"Hey, don't mention it. It's rotten. It can't get any worse. There are so many places in the two provinces that are prone to disasters. That is, Ningbo Prefecture, where your fourth master is, didn't have any big problems. He even defeated the rebels with his own strength. Liu Xiang, hey..."

"Has it deteriorated elsewhere?"

"Not only is it getting worse, Liu Xiang has come here many times. He doesn't rob or kill. He just bombs at the river embankment or sea embankment. The bombing is quite accurate. With a few rounds, the entire county can be destroyed. I don’t know if this Liu Xiang is the reincarnation of Lord Yama, he’s so awesome.”

When Zheng Zhipeng heard this, he still couldn't guess what was going on?He couldn't help but said angrily: "Why is it like this! Why is it like this! Even if there is no shortage of food, we can't... Why is it like this! Is this..."

After saying this, Zheng Zhipeng pointed to the sky.

"Our family can tell you, no, why do you think this is so? Haha, people have drowned, then this land will be empty, isn't it? The counties that have been castrated recently are all poor counties, it's nothing Large households, and it happens that the land is suitable for growing mulberry trees and producing cicada silk. When the water recedes, manors will soon rise one after another on these lands. Why do you think this is the case?"

Zheng Zhipeng was silent for a long time before muttering: Inhumane.

"Human nature? I dare to ask Fourth Master how much this human nature is worth per kilogram. Oh my, your family's annual income of nearly 1000 million taels of silver is really a man who is full and doesn't know how hungry he is. If human nature is valuable, I How could my parents starve to death, and how could I become a eunuch?"

As he spoke, a few tears actually flowed from the corners of the old eunuch's eyes.

"Sorry, I mentioned that my father-in-law was sad."

Eunuch Yang waved his hand and said, "Nothing, it all happened 40 years ago. It's long gone. It's just that these days, I can't help but think about it."

"I dare to ask father-in-law, is something really wrong with my eldest brother?"

"Well, it was the Dutch who took action. Your eldest brother hurriedly returned to Fujian. For this reason, he missed a lot of court affairs. A memorial from Mr. Wen went straight to the imperial court, saying that your eldest brother does not know right from wrong. So, Self-interest interferes with justice, haha, this is a good thing, the two ends are not human beings."

"No wonder he didn't have time to send me a message, but Eunuch Yang, how could the Dutch take action at this time? Although my eldest brother is in Zhejiang, there is no way he has no arrangements for Fujian. How could the Dutch catch my eldest brother off guard? Woolen cloth?"

"You have to ask Xiong Wencan about this. In the final analysis, Fujian is still his territory as the governor. If your eldest brother is not here, no matter how much he retains, it is still up to him."

Zheng Zhipeng was silent again, and then said after a while: "In the final analysis, Xiong Wencan's success depends on my eldest brother. No matter how you say it, my eldest brother can be called his right-hand man. He is now the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but in fact he is already a human being." I am the best minister, and he is probably the only one who can be commanded to chop off his own arm... I dare to ask Eunuch Yang, do you know why?"

"Haha, I heard that when we were in Nanjing, my brother kicked his table."

"It would be impossible for him to reach this position and dare to play such a big game just because of a temporary conflict of spirits."

"Maybe, if it's not for this, then it should be for money. He is in charge of the Ministry of Accounts, and all the 13 provinces in Jiuzhou, Wanfang, Beijing, and Beijing are in charge of him and want money, but the money in his wallet is actually not in your hands. There is a lot of change, maybe it's because of his thoughts. Besides, it won't take long for him to return to Beijing. When he joins the cabinet, it will really be an estranged relationship. You two brothers hate him, but what can you do to him? Even that Xiong Wencan can be transferred, there is always a shortage of governors in the northwest."

Zheng Zhipeng said silently: "So, it doesn't matter what back-up I have on my end. What matters is whether big brother can win this battle. If he can win, he will be fine even if I don't arrange anything. If he can't, he will be fine." If I win, I will be safe at this time. Without the protection of my elder brother, I am afraid I will die miserably."

"That's the truth. Then Mr. Zheng thinks who is stronger and who is weaker between your brother and the Dutch."

"The Dutch are strong, but my eldest brother is weak."

"Oh?"

"But my big brother will win and Dutch will lose."

Eunuch Yang nodded and said: "Our family hopes so too. Okay, we've finished the wine. We still have things to do and we have to go back to Suzhou. Mr. Lu, please take care of the Fourth Master along the way. The Fourth Master is our family member." My godfather’s best friend.”

"Could it be Cao..."

Eunuch Yang smiled and said nothing. He just gave him a meaningful look, as if he was looking at an idiot, then shook his head and left.

Lu Yuying cautiously approached Zheng Zhipeng and said in a very flattering and aggrieved manner, "Fourth Master, your old man and Eunuch Cao... when did this happen? What magical means did you use to get in touch with each other?"

Zheng Zhipeng looked up at the sky and ignored him.

"Hey, Fourth Master, the villain is just running errands for others. This level of fighting has nothing to do with me. You...if you and Eunuch Cao win in the future, please don't make things difficult for the villain. .”

How could Zheng Zhipeng still have the time to deal with him?He muttered: "The Battle of Liaoluowan is actually a year ahead of schedule... I hope history will remain the same."

The so-called Battle of Liaoluo Bay refers to the naval battle that was originally scheduled to take place next year in history. Zheng Zhilong fought against the Dutch East India Company. It was also known as the first battle for Chinese people to resist the invasion of foreign powers. It was also that battle. After winning the battle, Zheng Zhilong truly became the Southeast King, which was far from what he is now.

However, time has changed, and the battle in history was originally a narrow victory, and it was too much of a coincidence. A strong wind happened to blow and sank nine of the Dutch warships, and almost only four of them could use God Bless China. Analyzing the reasons for the victory, this time, the Dutch took the lead.
