"Your Majesty..." Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Zhu Youjian meant.

Fenghou.

Who doesn't want to?

Among other things, His Majesty has been on the throne for so many years, and besides himself, it seems that there is no one who can be knighted, right?

Now you want to seal yourself a Marquis again?

Seems good too?

However, my contribution this time is not enough, so is there any other request?

"The minister is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, and he will do whatever he wants!"

Zhu Youjian smiled, this Zheng Zhilong is really smart.Then he picked up a map on the table and handed it to him.

"have a look."

Zheng Zhilong took it curiously and found it was a world map.

He quickly found the location of Taiwan, and then extended south to find Luzon and other places.

Just when he was wondering about His Majesty's intentions, Zhu Youjian spoke.

"Do you know the Mughal Empire?"

"I know!" Zheng Zhilong's eyes quickly moved to the direction of the Mughal Empire.

"Have you been there?"

"No."

"If so, which line is the closest?"

"Naturally, the Strait of Malacca is the closest, and the merchant ships from the east and the west go there. However, the Dutch just occupied it a few years ago, and the merchant ships would have to pay a lot of money to pass through it."

Zheng Zhilong explained.

"If we drive out the Dutch and build a port there, can we just sit back and collect the money?"

what?

Zheng Zhilong never thought that he had just won Luzon, so why did he turn his attention to Malacca?This jump is too big, right?

"Your Majesty! Yes, you can, but the Dutch are getting stronger and stronger this year, and the war with the Spaniards is more victorious than the Spanish. It seems that it is a foregone conclusion to get out of Spain's control. We have completely offended Luzon this time." If we offend the Spaniards, if we offend the Netherlanders again, our merchant ships will never be peaceful in the west.”

"Didn't you offend them when you conquered Taiwan?"

"Your Majesty, Taiwan is my Ming Dynasty's inherent territory. It is unreasonable for them to seize it. It is only natural for us to take it back! Besides, we are powerful, and they can't tear us apart. But Temasek is different. The Strait of Malacca It is their cash cow, if we want to take it away, they will definitely do their best."

"But I heard that these places have been the territory of Ming Dynasty since ancient times!" Zhu Youjian said staring at the map.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what are you referring to?"

"Isn't it just this area?" Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand and circled it on the map.

My mother!

Zheng Zhilong, who was holding the map, shook his hands in fright.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Zheng Zhilong swallowed, looking a little horrified.

Zhu Youjian refers to the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and many islands including Indonesia in later generations.Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being horrified, because the area of ​​these places is too big!Much bigger than Luzon!And this vast area is under the rule of the Netherlands.If you don't take it at this time, it's unacceptable.

"What? Is it possible that we can't drive them away?"

"If you drive them away, you can definitely drive them away, but such a large area requires a large number of people just to station, and many places are deserted islands, so it's not very useful!?"

"It's not very useful? Haha, you will know later. I plan to join forces with the Spaniards. Didn't they fight the Netherlanders? Let's cooperate with him and help them suppress the Netherlanders, but only if Luzon That's the end of the matter. Anyway, they can't beat us."

"What if they don't agree?"

"Then help the Dutch beat them!"

"Ah?" Zheng Zhilong opened his mouth.

"Ah what? It's just to scare them. The conditions can be negotiated, as long as it's not too much."

"I see."

Zheng Zhilong finally knew the purpose of His Majesty calling him back from a long distance.It turned out that taking Luzon was not enough, and I wanted to plunder even more land.

"An official, I'm not asking you to take these places down immediately after you go back. I'm just planning our future development direction. Ten years! I plan to use ten years to take down this huge territory, take down Malacca The Straits will be the first step! We still have a long way to go. When I am about to be born, I want to see all these places speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, so I can pretend to be a wise person!

As long as you do things for me in a down-to-earth manner, the title of Marquis is inevitable!Moreover, I can tell you clearly that your Zheng family will never stop at a Marquis!Do you know this? "

"Your Majesty understands! I am willing to do my best for His Majesty!" Zheng Zhilong's voice trembled.

He was really excited this time. He thought that this trip to Beijing would be beaten by the emperor. After all, the expansion of his power over the years is obvious to all. With a greater burden.

A warm current flowed in his heart, the feeling of being trusted was really good.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Youjian gently helped Zheng Zhilong up.He is not afraid that Zheng Zhilong will grow up, even if he develops rapidly, it will only be more wooden warships, so what is the use?

Next, the Dagu Shipyard will continue to manufacture warships, enrich the strength of the First Fleet, and manufacture various auxiliary warships and transport ships.Completely build the First Fleet into an invincible fleet.Then, there is the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet...

According to the normal pace of development, these things cannot be completed in a short period of time with money.

But he is not a normal person, so there is no need to think about it.

However, the development of the iron and steel industry is also urgent. Although it can be used in an emergency, if the country is to develop for a long time, it is still necessary to master the technology.

"It's hard to come here, go and see Zheng Sen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zheng Zhilong thanked again.He was thinking about how to speak, but he didn't expect His Majesty to bring it up first.

Speaking of Zheng Sen, he felt guilty.

Since he was born, Zheng Sen has been living with his mother in Hirado, Japan, and they usually get together less often.Later, he was recruited by the imperial court and sent him to the capital. It has been several years since we met last time.I don't know if I still recognize myself?

"Go, I'll let Wang Banban be with you, otherwise the school won't let him out." Zhu Youjian interrupted Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, and arranged for Wang Chengen and Zheng Zhilong to leave the palace together.

"I just heard from Your Majesty that Zheng Sen couldn't come out of their school without his father-in-law leading him? What's the reason?" After leaving the palace gate, Zheng Zhilong felt a little more relaxed, and said to Wang Chengen with a smile.

"Zheng Zongbing doesn't know that the Royal Military Academy where your son is studying is extremely strict in management. Except during rest and bath time, no parents are allowed to visit him, not even the relatives of the emperor or the Duke of the current state!"

"So strict?"

"Zheng Bing is not in Beijing, so naturally he doesn't know the importance of this military academy. Let's put it this way, the first batch of students in the military academy have gone to work in various places. The highest position is undoubtedly Zhu Kezhen, who is already the general soldier of Liaoning. He is no longer in Zheng's position. The general is under!"

"what!?"
