In the final analysis, it is a matter of interest!

The Donglin Party is indeed short-sighted, but is he still short-sighted when he is a minister who is the most official and stands in the position of the country to see things? No! The reason why he still acts like he can't understand is that it is not that he doesn't understand, but that he doesn't want to understand, and he can't understand, and if he understands, he will break his own hands and feet.

Therefore... the ruling class since ancient times cannot make itself better and to abolish its own rules to promote the country's progress. If they become corrupt to a certain extent, they will definitely collapse because they are reluctant to give up their vested interests. They can only overthrow them by another person, and do not expect them to be able to adjust themselves.

Every dynasty in history is written in blood, and it is definitely not just written two memorials and handed over them.

"Okay, don't worry. If you can't write memorials, just rely on your own hard work!" Yi Yun said seriously: "Sweep the room first, then sweep the world. You can't tell your mentor, but you can convince yourself to start with you. Since you have accepted my philosophy, you know the concept of cultural radiation. As long as we are good at ourselves, the surrounding cities will not be affected."

"I have to do this." Zhou Zifan smiled bitterly.

As the two were talking about this, Lu Xi suddenly rushed in from outside, shouting: "Zheng Zhilong has written... a big incident, a big incident..."

"Huh? What big incident?" Yi Yun took the letter from her and looked quickly. Zhou Zifan also came over to see it. When he saw it, his face suddenly turned dark. It turned out that this was an emergency military report.

According to Zheng Zhilong's spy report, the Dutch finally made a comeback. This time, the Dutch came prepared. The core fleet alone had eleven Gallion sailing ships, and about twenty jacks as escort ships. These jacks were all cute little pirates who were bought by the Dutch.

What kind of ship is a kind of Junke? In fact, it is a Chinese hard sailboat. This kind of ship has four sails, which are not directly facing the wind, but are slightly tilted horizontally toward the wind, so that the ship still has a speed as fast as a flight when facing the wind. This kind of ship is generally twenty meters long and ten meters wide. It is not big or small, and usually has a load capacity of about 250 tons.

The treasure ship that the famous Zheng He traveled to the West was actually a larger Junk ship.

In addition to the Dutch's own forces, the Dutch also had two new allies, one of the Fengyun Shibazhi, Liu Xiang. This person did not appear in the last battle of Penghu. In fact, the last time was Shiqizhi dealing with the Dutch. It turned out that Liu Xiang did not want to be an official, he just wanted to be a pirate leader who killed and set fire. Zheng Zhilong led the crowd to accept the court's amnesty. Liu Xiang was unhappy and did not come to participate in the Battle of Penghu. Not only that, he also defected to the Dutch.

Liu Xiang's betrayal brought more than 50 large and small warships to the Dutch. The most fate was that he knew Fengyun Shibazhi very well. Once he became an enemy, it would bring great trouble to Zheng Zhilong. Liu Xiang led the Dutch's main fleet to sneak attack a port under Zheng Zhilong's control. Without Zheng Zhilong's guard, he burned and sunk fifteen large warships in one fell swoop. Several of them were new ships Zheng Zhilong had just made by the shipmaker, which brought huge losses to Zheng Zhilong.

Another ally of the Dutch was Yi Yun's old acquaintance, the leader of the Japanese pirates, and the captain of the Wuxing Captain Wang Zhi. He led the Japanese pirates' main fleet, nearly a hundred large and small warships. He used Zhoushan Island as a base to declare war on Zheng Zhilong. He showed a force of attack from north to south with the Dutch, wrapping the Penghu Islands and the Dayuan Island in the middle.

After reading the letter, what was presented to everyone was an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. In addition to the eleven difficult Gallion sailboats of the Dutch themselves, there were actually 170 warships from pirates and Japanese pirates. Yi Yun knew that the 170 ships mentioned in Zheng Zhilong's letter must refer to large ships that could be on the table. The small sampan of the two-person sampan must not be included. In other words, the enemy still had at least hundreds of uncalculated boats.

Zhou Zifan was furious: "These pirates and Japanese pirates are unreasonable. Western barbarians are invading our country. They don't help the court defend their country, but they actually help the Westerners... This is simply outrageous! All those who share the enemy and sell their country should be damned."

"Yes, all those who share the enemy and sell their country should be damned." Yi Yun followed and added: "But...what should I do if I have no way to serve the country? If the Dameng Kingdom continues to ban the sea, people like Liu Xiang and Wang Zhi will emerge one after another."

Zhou Zifan was silent, and then said angrily: "Prince, what do you think you should do?"

"Haha!" Yi Yun laughed: "My solution is very simple. Beat them first! No matter what the reason is, even if you have no way to serve the country, you should not be able to treason the enemy. If you have such behavior, I will beat them up first. Next, I will find a way out for other people who want to serve the country but have no way to do so."

"But... the enemy is so large... have we... won?" After more than a year of study, Zhou Zifan was no longer as blindly arrogant as other Donglin Party members. He began to understand that the maritime strength of the Da Meng Kingdom can be said to be a soft ball. Any Western country can win the Da Meng Kingdom in naval battles. The so-called Tian Dynasty's country has long been yesterday's yellow flower. Now the world is facing an era of huge changes. If the Da Meng Kingdom does not catch up, it will be left far away.

"Of course I won!" Yi Yun laughed: "You have been busy learning some ideas this year, but I am not idle either..."

"Didn't you always be idle in the palace... cough... do something you love?" Zhou Zifan complained.

"Tsk, let me see what I have been doing today." Yi Yun jumped up and shouted: "Tell me the order, the Imperial Army, the Beiyang Navy, the Shanghai Navy, the entire army gathered and prepared to set off to fight a long-lost sea battle. I want all the soldiers to make all preparations within three days."

"Yes!" Lu Xi quickly ran out and sent an order.

"By the way, I'll inform Admiral Li Huamei that there are Japanese pirates among the enemy this time. I believe Li Huamei will be happy to join the battle." Yi Yun pulled his neck and shouted.

Lu Xi's voice came in from afar: "I know... the prelude to the year when the sword was unsheathed was played... Zhoushan Islands, the nest of the Japanese pirates.

The sea sand was slapped on the dock of Dinghai Harbor in Zhoushan, and rolled up one after another. On the sand smoke, countless sand seagulls circled and flew. Usually, these sand seagulls gathered on the reefs by the sea, but today, they dare not stay at the sea anymore because a huge fleet was anchoring on the seaside. Countless Japanese pirates were walking on the seaside, alarming the sand seagulls, making them able to circle and fly in the sky, making loud chirping.

Wang Zhi stood on his flagship, looking around at the hundreds of large warships and two hundred various sampans around him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. What a fleet of ships, one hundred large warships, his strength can easily settle the official fleet of the Da Mengguo. The only thing he can fear is Zheng Zhilong, the overlord in the Southeast Sea.

"What are you thinking about in the ship owner of Wufeng? You want to laugh at the corners of your mouth!" A woman standing not far behind him asked with a smile. The woman was very beautiful, young and beautiful. The only problem was that she had a woman's bun on her head, indicating that the famous flower had a master. It turned out that this woman was Li Huamei's friend, the little pirate Yu Yingxian, who had been undercover among the Japanese pirates.

When Wang Zhi heard her inquiry, he couldn't help but say, "I am happy for this huge fleet... This is a fleet that I have spent years building. It is about to come in handy now. Can you not be excited?"

Since the previous year, after Wang Zhi failed to invade the mainland, he has been working hard to build his own fleet and regain his strength, intending to attack the mainland again after his strong strength. This time he must avenge his previous shame and tear the damn King Jiashan and Hu Zhongxian to pieces. However, as Zheng Zhilong received the invitation, he dared not land on the mainland easily, because even a fool who does not understand military knows that if the enemy has a strong navy, he must not land on the battlefield.

Therefore, Wang Zhi is facing a problem now. If he does not defeat Zheng Zhilong, he will not be able to invade the mainland anymore. That is why he joined forces with the Dutch and intends to cut off Zheng Zhilong.

"What's the Dutch now?" Wang Zhi asked the Western Division beside him. This Division was Blackhart, the fourth-level Western Division who installed a crystal ball to help Wang Zhi reconnaissance when he attacked Shanghai last time. This time he acted as a contact between Wang Zhi and the Dutch, responsible for the intelligence transmission work thousands of miles away.

This time, the ** Division has made complete preparations. He installed the True Knowledge Crystal Ball on Wang Zhi's flagship and the flagship of Dutch Commander Putmans, so that both sides can see the opposite side through the True Knowledge Crystal Ball, and installed a big-mouthed trumpet flower, so that both sides can talk through the Big-mouthed trumpet flower.

This is equivalent to later video television, very advanced.

"The Dutchman is heading towards the Penghu Islands..." Blackhart laughed and said, "They should be feinting attacking Magong Port, and then suddenly attacking Zheng Zhilong's port on Dayuan Island... While delaying time, we waited for our fleet to go south to attack Zheng Zhilong with them."

"That's great!" Wang Zhi waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly!"

A large number of Japanese pirate warships began to raise their sails and slowly sailed out of the port. Countless yellow hard sails filled their eyes.

Yu Yingxian smiled and said to Wang Zhi: "Wufeng Shipkeeper, are we going south directly? What if we were suddenly attacking Zheng Zhilong and were attacked by King Jiashan's naval army? You should know that King Jiashan also worked hard in the last battle of Penghu. Now he should get news. He must be starting from Wusong Wharf in Shanghai and moving south... It is very likely that he will appear behind us."
