Chapter 242: Zhao An Zheng Zhilong (Part 1)

The eunuch who proclaimed the imperial edict was named Wang Chengen.

Otherwise, there is a reason why some people can become bigger in history. Only by fighting will you win. Last time I asked a name casually. In addition, this guy is famous in history, it is difficult for Zhu Youxiao to remember him.

This time, he was sent to such a distance to announce the imperial edict. First, he was to see how much Wang Chengen was, and second, he was to exercise and let him see the world.

If Wang Chengen had only achieved such a high level of relationship with Zhu Youjian and had no ability, Zhu Youjian would not have entrusted important tasks.

No one has the money and skill to raise a useless man who cannot support the mud, even if he is Wang Chengen.

When Wang Chengen was ordered to leave the seclusion from the capital, he was overjoyed. He also knew that this was the emperor's temptation and a god-given opportunity for him.

Why did Wang Chaofu get the trust of the emperor? He worked in the position of the Qing Palace Administration for two years. He relied on understanding the superior intentions and being able to be sensible and doing things.

Wang Chengen led 200 soldiers in the Beijing camp, and led more than a dozen cavalrymen. The group raised high signs and headed towards Fujian with great fanfare.

The reason for doing this is his own consideration.

This time the court went to recruit the pirate named Zheng Yiguan. He could not be left behind in form, so he had to give him enough face. He also took this opportunity to let everyone in the world know that the Zheng family had been cleaned up!

Whether the Zheng family wants to whitewash it, the court has no control over this matter. The main reason is that they have to force whitewash it and grab their pigtails. If they dare to rebel in the future, the people in the world will not be scolded to death by the Zheng family!

At this time, the conflict between the Ming and Hebei and Penghu has actually entered a white-hot stage.

Although Nan Juyi was born in Donglin, Wei Zhongxian, the Dongchang Mansion Mansion, who was known as stealing the robbery, did not pull him off from the position of governor of Fujian.

Wei Zhongxian has a basis for his work. Yuan Chonghuan is a student of Sun Chengzong. Needless to say, Sun Chengzong is, although there is no distinction between factions, he also looks down on his eunuch party.

But Wei Zhongxian still fueled Yuan Chonghuan and recommended it to Emperor Tianqi. This was not because of the famous picture Yuan Chonghuan gave at that time. In the final analysis, it was also because he felt that Yuan Chonghuan was a little capable.

As for the future breakup with Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong, it was also because the two mobilized the ministers in the court to repeatedly recommend the "Ningjin Line of Defense" strategy in Liao.

The emperor had no interest in this so-called strategy. As the imperial party, the "eunuch party", Wei Zhongxian finally gave Yuan Chonghuan a message and drew a clear line in time after he achieved the ultimate righteousness.

In major events, Wei Zhongxian always looked to Emperor Aoqi. This is his principle in dealing with people, because he knew that he was bound to the Aoqi Dynasty.

At this time, Fujian had no war and defense. The military and civilians gathered their strength to fight against the invasion of the "Red-Hongmao Fan".

But what is funny is that Fujian Province can only play a draw with these more than 30 Dutch colonial teams from the Spice Islands.

To put it bluntly, this is not a solar term issue. It is the firepower and navigation technology of the ship, which is really incomparable to others.

Zheng Yiguan was anchored at the port of Zhangzhou, but was suddenly attacked by the Dutch fleet. The Dutch's treason made him very angry.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Yiguan and Fujian Governor Nan Juyi reached an oral agreement, that is, the court gave the Zheng family the right to conduct business, and the Zheng family could fight for the court.

At this time, the Zheng family and the imperial court were only employed in their relationship, and they all took what they needed.

However, both sides underestimated the Dutch's determination to open up trade channels in the Ming Dynasty. When the first Dutch colonial team of more than a dozen ships retreated under the attack of the Fujian Navy and the Zheng family.

On the other side of the Spice Islands, another fleet of the same size quickly gathered, with more than a dozen warships sailing out to sea and soon arrived in Penghu.

These two Dutch fleets combined have only more than thirty warships of all sizes.

But these 30 warships not only blocked the Zhangzhou Port in Fujian, but also almost brought all maritime affairs along the coast of Fujian to a halt.

In other words, they blocked the entire Fujian coast!

Faced with such a situation, the Zheng family tried several times, but after being hit by the Dutch fleet with strong ships and sharp guns, they disappeared without saying anything about helping the war.

The Zheng family was gone, and the Fujian Navy could not even get out of Fujian Port at all. He was simply blocked by the Dutch at the door of his house, showing off his might and swallowing his anger.

This situation was not expected by Zhu Youxiao.

Everything has its direction. In history, the court did not cooperate with the Zheng family so early. Zhu Youxiao thought that working with the Zheng family could quickly repel the Dutch and reduce losses.

However, unexpectedly, the butterfly flapped its wings and another result. The Zheng family's early betrayal completely angered the Dutch Far East colonial Governor.

In order to open up the extremely valuable trading channel of the Ming Dynasty, the governor decided to send another fleet to Penghu while dealing with the Spaniards and the Portuguese.

This is twice the number of Dutch ships in history!

Originally, Nanjuyi spent several years mediating with the Dutch, and the losses were immeasurable, so he barely repelled a Dutch fleet and let them escape unscathed.

Nanjuyi couldn't handle the Dutch fleet that had doubled at once, and Fujian could not bear it!

In other words, once the second fleet arrived, Fujian could not even win or lose, and it was completely overwhelmed and could not even go out of the doorstep!

Nan Juyi can be called loving the people as much as his son, being honest and honest. His strategic deployment and relationship with military generals are also a model for civil servants and generals in various places.

During the six months of dealing with the Dutch, he had been fighting with the lights almost day and night. Although he had not held a knife, he was calm with his pen and ink.

Sometimes, we have to discuss tactics with Fujian General Yu Zizao, inspect ports, and ask local generals and schools about the coastal defense situation.

In his spare time, he devoted himself to studying and compiled the experience gained from fighting with the Dutch into notes for future reviews or in coastal provinces.

Of course, in addition to doing serious business, the Fujian governor also did a major event that shocked the Dutch and the entire Fujian.

When the second Dutch fleet arrived in Penghu for reinforcements and built a fortress, Nan Juyi ordered in Fujian to behead all the Dutch delegations seized last time.

The heads of these Dutch people are still hung above the gatehouse to boost the morale of the military and civilians against the Dutch.

As a governor from a literati, Yu Zizao knew how difficult it was to make such a decision. If the news spread, Nan Juyi would be looked down upon by his colleagues from Donglin.

Nan Juyi had done his best. After the Dutch increased his troops, he was helpless because at this time, with the power of Fujian, he could not compete with the Dutch.

Fortunately, behind Fujian, the Ming Empire was still standing.

"What Dutch people have strong combat power? If their combat power is strong, we will not be controlled by us for so long!"

Zheng Yiguan was located on the deck of his flagship, and behind him was a fire gun that the court had worked so hard to develop.

The gun was purchased by Zheng Yiguan from the Dutch, and almost everyone was equipped with a "pirate" under his command.

This kind of gun-fired gun was a standard weapon that the Royal Dutch Navy had only equipped two years ago. It has extremely high stability and is stronger than the new gun-fired gun-fired gun-fired combat capability developed by the Military Equipment Corporation to assemble the border army.
