Chapter 245: Each has his own mind
After yesterday's massive recruitment ceremony, Zheng Yiguan's slightly excited heart calmed down a lot. He sat in his boat, feeling the shaking brought to him by sailing on the sea, and turned his eyes to the imperial edict on the table.
Imperial edict, this is something that many people can encounter and find hard to find.
In the eyes of most people at this time, the gift of a volume of imperial edict in the emperor was tantamount to the coming of heavenly books, and could easily change the fate of a person or even a family.
But now, Zheng Yiguan looked at the imperial edict and felt that it was so terrible.
In this imperial edict, the emperor not only conferred himself as promised, but also rewarded Zheng Hongkui with an additional garrison in the Tongshan Mountain and hereditary hundred households.
He could see that his fourth brother's eyes had changed since then. Just this morning, he left without saying goodbye to him and rushed to Tongshan Institute for office!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yiguan clenched his fists and blew it on the table with hatred.
He was a little disappointed with his fourth brother. Could it be that the Zheng family had this ambition to be a hereditary family of thousands, hundreds of households, and a lifetime garrison for the court?
What can the Zheng family leave behind after their death?
Now, the power of his uncle Li Dan and his uncle Huang Cheng are not the endings that Zheng Yiguan expected.
The garrison, Zheng Yiguan never looked at this official title, his ambition never ends here, he wants to lead the Zheng family to dominate the entire southeastern sea!
Just as he was thinking, Huang Cheng walked in from outside the door and said:
"One official, a few more people took a boat to Tongshan to find Zheng Hongkui!"
Zheng Yiguan let go of his clenched fists and smiled bitterly: "Everyone has his own aspirations. Now he has been recruited. The pirates of the past have been misled by the court and are all enemies of me."
"The Zheng family is in the most difficult time. Even Li Dan issued a notice in Japan saying that they would break off diplomatic relations with me. They could not endure the rootless wandering life at sea, so it would be great to go with their fourth brother."
Huang Cheng is one of the larger maritime merchants today. As the saying goes, his mother's uncle is a real relative of Zheng Yiguan. I heard that Zheng Yiguan was in such a dilemma, so I rushed to Wenzhou Port the next day to help.
He sat next to Zheng Yiguan and said earnestly:
"Next, what are you going to do? You're always tied up by the court. When they clear out the pirates and fight against the Dutch fleet's fists?"
Zheng Yiguan's eyes were still firm and he replied:
"There is only one way in front of you. You must completely break up with the Dutch, use all your resources, and repel the Dutch as soon as possible. By the way, you must also capture a complete warship."
"Is it not easy to capture the Dutch warships, what the court asked?"
Huang Cheng took a deep breath. He had sailed on the sea for many years and had seen caravans from Western countries. Naturally, with his current ability, it was difficult to capture a Western warship.
"That's right..."
Zheng Yiguan is worried about this recently.
It is easy to regain Penghu and Zhangzhoukou and repel the Dutch fleet, but capturing one of their warships requires some brains.
The Dutch are not fools. They are never vague when they should run. And as long as the other party wants to run, no matter whether the Zheng family fleet or the Fujian navy, they will definitely not be able to stop it.
If you pursue it, you will most likely be defeated by the opponent in the deep sea and then besieged the port. Not to mention capturing it, it will be difficult to even repel.
He didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and did he not understand naval battles at all. He just asked himself such a problem after being recruited.
"I think we might as well just do our best to destroy the red-haired pig fleets that blocked Zhangzhou's entrance, and then join forces with the imperial court to use the water and land army to siege Penghu. Are you afraid that you can't catch it?"
Zheng Zhibao spoke.
He is Zheng Yiguan's fifth brother. Unlike Zheng Hongkui, he is concerned about the court and does not want to be a pirate. This kid has no centripetal force to the court. No matter how much grace he gives him, he will basically follow Zheng Zhilong and go all the way to the darkness.
Judging from the urinary nature of Zheng Zhibao in history, Zhu Youxiao also knew that he could not pull back the wild horse that had broken away, but fortunately he let him go without any grace.
However, Zheng Hongkui had to pull this side. It was true that he was concerned about the court, and his private relationship with the future national hero "Zheng Chenggong" was closer than his father Zheng Yiguan.
Zhu Youxiao was still thinking that he would bring Zheng Chenggong over in the future by relying on his nepotism.
Of course, this is a later story. Zheng Yiguan has not married yet, so Zheng Chenggong is afraid that he has not had time to see this great world in his womb.
"It's good that it's so simple. Don't talk, you wood."
Huang Cheng's attitude towards Zheng Zhibao was completely the tone of the elders' lessons. He looked at Zheng Yiguan again, but he looked like a subordinate, and said in a suggestive and comforting tone:
"What the court wants is a Dutch warship so that they can study other people's weapons and equipment, attack rashly, scare away the Dutch people. Where can I get a warship?"
Zheng Zhibao sat on the side and muttered:
"Okay, okay, you guys say, I'll listen, and hit whatever I point!"
"It's not difficult to capture a Dutch warship..." Zheng Yiguan thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, and said, "The main force of the two fleets sent by the Dutch to Penghu are three-layer galloping warships."
"This kind of ship has excellent near-shore capabilities, so it is difficult to touch more than a dozen imperial navy soldiers, but once they are driven into the deep sea, the combat effectiveness of the galley will be greatly reduced."
"The Dutch relied on nothing more than those two Galen warships."
Speaking of this, Zheng Yiguan said coldly:
"Let's give the emperor a big gift and get him a Garen ship back in exchange for the Dongfan Islands as the starting base for our Zheng family. Is this a good deal?"
Zheng Zhibao was about to speak, but he swallowed it back when he thought of something. He was so frustrated that he dared not speak up, but he looked like a little girl.
Huang Cheng ignored the naughty green man, his eyes lit up and said:
"Okay, that's good, can the court agree?"
"The emperor is far away. Yuan Chonghuan is just a Ningyuan army. He can be destined to be in Liao for many times. If the east is so far, can the imperial court come over?"
Zheng Yiguan laughed, as if he had seized some opportunity, and said:
"Besides, the area in the East Fan is full of natives. Although the imperial court set up Guandu, it has never taken care of it."
"I'll help him manage it, what's wrong?"
"Okay! That's fine." Huang Cheng smiled and asked:
"But the two Garen ships were all parked outside the Dutch castle in Penghu. If you run away when you move, how can you capture them?"
"That's exactly what I'm about to say!"
Zheng Yiguan stood up and brought the two of them to the deck. He felt the sea breeze blowing, and suddenly felt refreshed and happy. He pointed to the calm sea in the distance and said:
"Transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and cooperate inside and outside!"
"This time the war with the Netherlands is about to be supported by the imperial court. So don't miss this opportunity, make more use of the Fujian Navy to reduce casualties in our fleet."
"Send someone to find Nan Juyi and tell him my plan."
"Before the first contribution to Zhangzhou and then take Penghu, it is best to mobilize the sea and land army of the entire Fujian. Either not fight or, it will be determined by a battle, and the Dutch will not be given a chance to escape!"
"What's the difference between this and what I said..." Zheng Zhibao murmured in a low voice, obviously very dissatisfied: "Wouldn't you better fight Zhangzhou first and then surround Penghu?"
Hearing this, Huang Cheng glared at him, scaring the boy so much that he quickly pretended to be stupid.
Zheng Yiguan was not doing anything, he just stood on overtime with his hands behind his back and said with a smile:
"This is told to Nan Juyi, and it is also deliberately told to the Dutch. Our Zheng family has its own tactics to win Penghu."
"The combat power of the Fujian Navy is not worthy of. For some things, our Zheng family fleet has to come!"
Chapter completed!
