1204 The emperor is in action

In the evening, in the chat group, in the temporary group of Batavia, Su Minggang said boldly: "Now the pirates in charge are watching the little people very tightly. I thought about talking to him today, but it was useless. I am really incompetent!"

In this group, there were the Emperor of Ming, the governors of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and the commander of the Ming Navy. Each of them was the existence he looked up to. Although he spoke easily in front of Su Minglun and others before, when he really spoke in the group, Su Minggang still felt very stressed.

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

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Minggang was quite excited when he saw this and quickly replied, "The person in charge is called Chengquan. He has accent, and he is from Fuzhou."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a stir in his heart: "I know this. Let's do other things first!"

After hearing this, Su Minggang was a little unaware of the emperor's meaning. So what should I do about the pirates? Should I put it aside for now?

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

Thinking of this, he had to withdraw from the group and do other things first according to the emperor's will. As for the pirates, let's think about it yourself!

But he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen turned around and went to privately chat about Liang Xiaozhen, the third leader of the Liu Xiang Pirate Group who had been added to the group. The reason why he didn't pull Liang Xiaozhen into the group was that he didn't want Su Minggang to know about this. After all, Liang Xiaozhen had to play a very important role in the subsequent Battle of Southeast Asia.

"What is the status of becoming all this pirate in Liu Xiang's group?"

When Liang Xiaozhen heard the emperor's question, he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this man's subordinates suffered heavy losses in the battle of Taiping Port. After fleeing to Nanyang, he only had more than 200 subordinates. After arriving in Temasek, his subordinates defected to other pirates. Now only those eighty or ninety people are still following him, all of whom were sent by Liu Xiang to Batavia to work hard for the Dutch."

Liang Xiaozhen had reported this matter before, but he didn't say it in detail. When he heard the emperor's question, he thought about it and added: "It can be said that he is one of the weakest among the pirates in Liu Xiang. Basically, other pirates look down on him. He himself understands this. His strength is not as strong as others. When there are conflicts, he always pretends to be grandson, and he is almost bullied by others."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought that it was indeed not as expected.

The Liu Xiang Pirate Group is composed of pirate groups of all sizes. Of course, they will not get along well with each other. They will help the Dutch supervising workers, who have to stay on the construction site all day long, so how can they be happy in Temasek's nest? Only those who are the least popular will be sent by Liu Xiang to deal with the Dutch.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about something, and Liang Xiaozhen thought of another thing, so he reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is another thing that is also related to this Chengquan. That day, when Liu Xiang was discussing in Juyi Hall, this Chengquan once proposed and suggested surrendering to the vassal kings. However, his proposal was scolded by Liu Xiang. I'm afraid that it was because of this reason that Liu Xiang sent to Batavia this time!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be happy again after hearing this. As a result, it seems that this person is available!

So he asked Liang Xiaozhen, "Where is this all the people?"

"It seems to be from Fuzhou." Liang Xiaozhen was afraid that the emperor would have any ideas, so she quickly explained, "Everyone goes out to sea to make a living, and usually doesn't say where they are. It just means that they are from, it should be from there. Sometimes, even their names have been changed."

"Then his surname would be fake?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

After hearing this, Liang Xiaozhen immediately replied: "Only people dare not change the surname of their ancestors. My subordinates guess that this surname should be true."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen knew it, and gave Su Minggang some achievements worth passing, and then said to him: "Let's take a full photo tomorrow."

Su Minggang was called back to the group by the system prompt. He was a little puzzled when he heard the emperor's orders, but he did not have the courage to violate the emperor's will and quickly agreed.

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

After Emperor Chongzhen came online, he said in the group: "Sun Qing, painted the portrait of this person and asked people to investigate the surname Cheng near Fuzhou. This surname is relatively rare and should be easily found. Then send the relevant information to the group to see if it is 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 any perspective, 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 understood one thing. The emperor was taking action and working hard to rescue them!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel moved. You know, this is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty! He was 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 looked at the construction site with a gloomy face. It can be seen that he was not in a good mood. In other words, he had never felt good about the Ming people here.

"Brother, he's so tired!" One of his subordinates waved his forehead and walked towards him, saying dissatisfiedly, "These people are all sly, and if they don't stare carefully, they will start to sly!"

When Cheng Quanyi heard this, he shouted coldly: "Just fight! Don't kill too many people anyway, and you won't delay the construction period, and these Western barbarians will not care about it!"

As he said this, he glanced at the construction site and saw his subordinates spread on the construction site, each of them tired. It was not like in Temasek. If he was fine at this time, he could at least lie in the nest.

After hearing this, his subordinates also agreed, then stood beside Cheng Quan, looked around the others, and then asked, "Brother, when will we go back to Temasek? Will there be other brothers for us?"

After hearing this, Chengquan turned to look at him and said a little angrily: "Don't think about it, what else can we do if we are just such a few people? Let's prepare wars with the great boss and the others to go to war with the court?"

Hearing this, his men were a little disappointed. After a while of silence, they suddenly turned to look at him, as if they wanted to speak, but were hesitating.

When Cheng Quan saw him, he kicked him over and shouted, "What are you doing? Tell me quickly if you have something to do, and let me go if you have nothing to do!"

After hearing this, his subordinates didn't smile and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you think we... can we still have a chance to go back? At this point, the Chinese New Year is almost at home!"

As soon as he heard this, Cheng Quan knew that what his subordinates said was not going back to Temasek, but to return to their hometown in Ming Dynasty! It was time to see the Chinese New Year, and he really started to miss home again!

Thinking of this, he no longer had a fierce look, but turned to look in the direction of his hometown, sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't go back?"

"Brother, we are so excluded by them. Otherwise, we can go back secretly, and at least we can meet our family members!"

Hearing this, Cheng Quan turned his head and stared at his subordinate, staring until his subordinates evaded a little, then he whispered: "What? Then? He brought trouble to the family, and was worried all day long, like a mouse?"

"Oh, if the boss accepted the proposal at that time, it would be great if the boss accepted it!" The subordinate sighed, "Maybe we can at least go home openly. Or, it is okay to take the family over. Under the vassal king, it will be better to live like this now!"

Hearing this, Xingquan was silent for a while before slowly saying: "It's the eldest brother who is incompetent and you are all bullied. If someone else pulls you and goes to surrender to them, the eldest brother won't blame you!"

When his subordinates heard this, they immediately changed their faces and answered as if they were the whole person: "Brother, what are they talking about? All of us are the ones who have decided to join us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to Batavia with our elder brother!"

The night before they came to Batavia, someone was reluctant to come over and went to join other pirate leaders.

After hearing this, Chengquan reached out and patted his shoulder, but did not say anything. He turned his head and looked forward, looking a little guilty and a little quiet.

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

His men also saw it, took two steps, shouted at the visitor: "What are you, an old man, coming here? Are you looking for death? Or are you unwilling to give up on your Kapitan, ah?"

The person who came was the former Kapitan Su Minggang. He smiled and nodded and said, "Come to tell me something about the boss!"

"Are you here to complain again?" When his subordinates heard this, they shouted fiercely, "Get out! How far is it? You thieves can deceive the Dutch, but they can't deceive us!"

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

Thinking of this, he continued to move forward with a cane and walked a few more steps closer. Seeing that the two pirates were about to get angry, he stopped and smiled and said to Chengquan: "The head of the family, I have something to talk to you privately!"

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