Chapter 445: The Death of Zheng Zhilong (1)

On the first day of the sixth month of the 12th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Hubenwei Navy fought a decisive battle with the Zheng family Navy in Liaoluo Bay!

In this battle, Zheng Zhilong suffered the most tragic failure of his life. The once arrogant Zheng family navy was completely defeated in this blow.

A large number of ships were sunk, captured, and surrendered. A huge fleet of more than 3,000 ships was claimed to be more than 3,000 ships. After the Battle of Luoluo Bay, Zheng Zhilong could still control less than 800 ships.

More than two thousand ships were thrown to the enemy like this.

The most deadly part of this naval battle for Zheng Zhilong was not just this. The defeat in the first battle completely lost the possibility of being recruited for the second time and returning to Fujian again.

Now he has truly become a betrayal dog.

He was not willing to fail like this, but everything is now irreversible. Even his younger brother Zheng Zhibao was buried in the sea...

What's even more terrifying is that the Hu Ben Guard Navy had the intention of killing everything this time, and was always chasing him relentlessly behind.

On the third day of June, the Tiger Guards' vanguard fleet caught up with the Zheng family navy who was fleeing in a panic. Zheng Zhilong's more than 100 warships no longer belonged to the Zheng family navy.

At the same time, the huge pirates of the Pirate Alliance that did not appear in the Battle of Liaoluo Bay finally received the order from Ding Yunyi to be dispatched.

The joint pursuit of the Hu Ben Guard and the pirates quickly made Zheng Zhilong fall into a huge passive... He knew that he could never make a comeback this time.

Lock Dragon Island.

Around this small island, there were a large number of warships. The sailors on the ship looked tired, helpless and sad. When they fled here, they seemed to have lost all the courage to escape.

These are the officers and soldiers of the majestic Zheng family naval division at that time...

The shadow of failure enveloped them, and the breath of death wrapped them. Everyone knew what was waiting for them in the future, and everyone knew what fate would be waiting for them...

But, what else can you expect?

"Lock Dragon Island, Lock Dragon Island." Zheng Zhilong murmured this name.

Lock Dragon Island? The word "dragon" is in its name. Is this destined by fate?

"Father, it is said that once a dragon appeared in Fujian to harm Fujian. Mazu eliminated the harm to the people, fought against the evil dragon, and chased him all the way here. The dragon was covered in wounds and had no place to run away." Zheng Sen walked over and said, "Mazu originally wanted to kill it, but it was not easy to think of it, so he imprisoned the evil dragon at the bottom of the sea with a big chain, which gave him this name."

Zheng Zhilong said lightly: "Ming Yan, do you mean that I am the evil dragon, and is Ding Yunyi the incarnation of the Mazu who chased the evil dragon all the way?"

"Don't dare." Zheng Sen seemed to have expected his father to ask this question, and said calmly: "It is said that the evil dragon was not at peace after being locked at the bottom of the sea. He always wanted to get out of trouble. Every time it struggled, it would stir up strong winds and waves on the nearby sea. Mazu once said that one day the evil dragon would escape, and there would be a terrible hero in the world... Zheng Zhilong narrowed his eyes: "Do you mean me or who?"

"My son is talking about Ding Yunyi!" Zheng Sen said calmly: "Ding Yunyi is the evil dragon that escaped. Now that the evil dragon has escaped from the chain, the island cannot trap any dragons."

Zheng Zhilong smiled. He knew that his beloved son was comforting him...

At this time, his wife Takawa Matsu, his younger son Takawa Qiemon, and his sister-in-law Takawa Yuki came over. Seeing them, Zheng Zhilong felt dim.

They are all their own families, and they should have given them a happy life, but now they have to continue to flee along the way.

In a trance, Zheng Zhilong returned to his original pirate career...

Especially Tagawa Yukiwadagawa Shizaemon, they had just been rescued from the Japanese pirates, but now they are in a panic and fleeing with themselves.

What’s even more ironic is that what was chasing them behind was their original savior: Ding Yunyi!

Does God really have his own arrangements in the dark?

"Madam, Ah, I've made you suffer." Zheng Zhilong pulled Qizaemon to his side, stroked his head, and said to his wife and sister-in-law with apologies.

"Please don't say that." Tiankawamatsu hurriedly said: "We follow you not just to enjoy your happiness. As a couple, whether you are happy, disaster, poverty, or happiness, we should share together. Do we have to abandon you in a temporary setback? No matter where you go, we will always be by your side."

Zheng Zhilong received great comfort in his heart in an instant...

Although I was defeated, there was still a large group of relatives who always remained with me...Brother, someone wants to see you." Zheng Zhifeng hurried over and said.

"Oh? Is it the envoy sent by Ding Yunyi to persuade the surrender?" Zheng Zhilong asked casually. When he saw Zheng Zhifeng shook his head, he was immediately curious. Who else would come to see him at this time?

When the man was brought up, Yuki Takawa and Shizaemon shouted out in unison: "It's you?"

"Why, do you recognize it?" Zheng Zhilong looked at the young man standing in front of him and asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law, he is the one who kidnapped me and Shizaemon!" Takawa Yuki gritted his teeth and said authentically.

With a "brush", the knife was pulled out from Zheng Zhifeng's waist.

The man smiled slightly and was not much afraid.

Zheng Zhilong pressed his hand on the hilt of his younger brother's knife, then slowly pressed the knife back, looking up and down at the young man in front of him: "What's your name?"

"Sir, in Fusang, my name is Shangchuanhu, and in Daming, my name is Lizihu. No matter which name you want to call me, it is OK." The man said with a smile.

Zheng Zhilong was very curious: "You kidnapped my relatives, why do you dare to come to see me now? Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

"Not afraid. Because we all have a common enemy." Li Zihu seemed very calm: "I encouraged the Shimazu family to kidnap Takawa Yuki and Shizaemon, and it was precisely to deal with Ding Yunyi, and never hurt them. I heard that the enemy's enemy is my friend. Is this new defeat, will he kill a friend for an enemy?"

"Friend?" Zheng Zhilong smiled: "So are you here to help me this time?"

"Yes." Li Zihu nodded solemnly: "I'm here to help the adults."

"Help me?" Zheng Zhilong curled his lips sarcastically and looked at the sea: "Where is your fleet? Why didn't I see the fleet you came to help with the war?"

Li Zihu said calmly: "There are various ways to assist in the battle. Sir, now the Huben Guard Navy has even defeated the Zheng family Navy. Who else is his opponent on the sea? I only have a few boats. Put it on the sea, I am afraid that it will be swallowed by the Huben Guard Navy in less than a quarter of an hour... Then why should you help us?"

Li Zihu said lightly: "Sir, now the Huben Guard Navy surrounded this place. But I have already broken through the siege and came to see you. Don't you find it strange?"

One sentence reminded Zheng Zhilong.

Yes, there are warships of Hu Ben Guards everywhere. Where did Li Zihu come here? Did he know any secret channels? Hope suddenly rose in Zheng Zhilong's heart.

However, Li Zihu's words immediately disappointed him: "Sir, please don't get me wrong. I do know a secret sea route that can break through the siege and come here, but that sea route can only be used for one or two boats to travel. If there are more ships, no matter how secret sea route is on the sea, there will be no secret."

Despite his disappointment, Zheng Zhilong knew that he was telling the truth, and he sighed in his heart: "Then what is your purpose this time?"

"For the young master." Li Zihu's hand slowly pointed at Zheng Sen.

Everyone in the Zheng family was stunned. Li Zihu said slowly: "I heard that the young master is talented and intelligent, and is a rare talent in the Zheng family. Do you want the young master and the Zheng family navy to burn together?"

Zheng Zhilong was angry and happy in his heart.

What was angry was that Li Zihu despised the Zheng family naval commander to the extreme, and he had already determined that the Zheng family naval commander was about to collapse. But what was happy was his praise for his son.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Zheng Zhilong asked, forcibly suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart.

Li Zihu nodded: "Please allow the young master to go out with me on the same boat. Keep the bloodline for the Zheng family. As long as the young master is there, the Zheng family will have a comeback in the future and have the opportunity to take revenge!"

Zheng Zhilong's heart moved.

The Zheng family navy has reached this point today, and he is ready to die with Ding Yunyi, but the one he is most worried about is his son Zheng Sen.

If he really can make his son break through, it might be a good idea... He doesn't ask his son to avenge himself in the future, but only wants the Zheng family's bloodline not to be cut off because of this.

He knew Ding Yunyi's character very well. Ding Yunyi would definitely take this opportunity to kill the Zheng family... Why should I believe you?" Zheng Zhilong asked coldly.

"Did you forget it? The enemy's enemy is a friend." Li Zihu smiled faintly: "I have always wanted to seek revenge on Ding Yunyi, and joining forces with the young master, I have an additional possibility of winning. Mayor may not know yet, I am quietly following another fleet of the Hu Ben Guard...what? Another fleet of the Hu Ben Guard?" Zheng Zhilong asked in a daze.

Li Zihu nodded: "Yes, Hu Ben Guard sent a fleet of ships, commanded by Ye Dahai, and the whereabouts are unknown. I have been sending ships to follow behind, waiting for the fleet to have single ships, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, he turned around and looked at the sea: "Sir, there is not much time left. Please make a decision as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the Hu Ben Guard starts attacking, even a ship will not be able to escape!"

"Come here, send Mr. Li down to rest." Zheng Zhilong suddenly said.

This time it was Li Zihu's turn to be stunned, but Zheng Zhifeng quickly came over and raised her hand: "Mr. Li, please!"

Li Zihu was temporarily taken down, and Zheng Zhilong was silent for a while: "Ming Yan, let's go with Li Zihu."

"Father, do you want me to abandon you and escape alone at this time?" Zheng Sen said without thinking: "If my son really does this, then people all over the world will only look at his son with spitting eyes."

"You are alive not for yourself, but for my Zheng family." Zheng Zhilong looked at his son with a smile: "I am across the sea, but this time I am defeated by Ding Yunyi. I have nothing to say, but someone in my Zheng family must shoulder the mission of revenge, and you think there is no one else who can bear this task except you."

Seeing that Zheng Sen was still arguing, Zheng Zhilong asked indifferently: "Why didn't I send Qizaemon out?"

Suddenly, Zheng Sen seemed to understand something... Because Qizaemon was not as good as you, he could not bear such a responsibility!" Zheng Zhilong's words were indeed the same as what Zheng Sen thought in his heart: "His personality is weak compared to you, but you are different. If someone really can avenge my Zheng family, then this person can only be you."

"Father, I understand." Zheng Sen said, forcibly enduring the sadness in his heart.

"Just understand, just understand." Zheng Zhilong suddenly became low when he said this: "How do you think of Li Zihu?"

"He must not have any kindness." Zheng Sen snorted coldly.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes were filled with relief: "It's good that you can see this. The reason why he risked his life to save you was simply that his Zheng family was defeated, but there was still secret power. What he wanted to rely on was the hidden power of my Zheng family. Mingyan, listen carefully for me... He said in Zheng Sen's ear for a long time, and Zheng Sen's expression changed. He really didn't expect that his father actually hid the power that would make the Zheng family come back one day.

After saying these words, Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief: "I, Zheng Zhilong, have been rampant for so many years, and have enemies all over the world, how can I not beware of this? I have accumulated these wealth for half my life. You find an opportunity to secretly open it and treat it as your funds to avenge my Zheng family!"

Zheng Sen nodded silently.

Zheng Zhilong then said slowly: "Remember, when the conditions are ripe, get rid of Li Zihu. It will be a disaster for this person to be by his side!"

"Don't worry, my son will definitely let Li Zihu die like Ding Yunyi without a burial place!" Murderous intent flashed through Zheng Sen's eyes.

"Okay, okay, my son is like this, what else can I regret?" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand and said in a loud laugh:

"Go, remember what I, Zheng Zhilong, said to you today!"
