Outside the port of Manzheboyi, several seemingly powerful blessed ships were docked. The rows of muzzles protruding from the side of the side silently announced who was the master of the ocean.

The Ming soldiers and pirate gangs who had just finished cutting Java were all very happy, but now they can continue to cut off the full range of Boyi, which is even more happy.

Although there are risks in killing people, there are huge benefits associated with the risks. Just the military achievements after winning the chopping will make everyone happy.

What's more, there are the chopped heads and the captured prisoners. These are all white money, and no one doesn't like them.

As for whether to cut off or not, it is not under the consideration of people like Zheng Zhilong and Li Azi. Even the entire Ming soldiers and all pirate gangs did not have the concept of not being able to cut off or not.

Is the warship an invincible blessing ship or a blessing ship with enhanced firepower configuration?

The swords equipped by the pirates belong to the Ming military-style swords. The absolute quality is reliable and the product can be handled with just one knife;

The muskets and cannons equipped by the soldiers of the regular South China Sea Fleet are also equipped with military standards and there is no need to worry about logistics pressure or anything else. They can be made with great strength.

If you can't beat a group of barbarians who have just come down from the trees and have just left the slash-and-burn farming, don't shout anything about expanding territory for the Ming Dynasty, just pee and drown yourself!

The only problem is that his group of people acted without authorization and burned the war to Boyi. What will happen to His Majesty the Emperor?

Zheng Zhilong was not worried that he would not beat the barbarians, nor did he worry that he would not be able to make military achievements, nor did he worry that Emperor Chongzhen would cut off his head because of this.

Since becoming an official, Zheng Zhilong has learned a word called "understanding the meaning of the best".

Who is the superior? Although it is his immediate boss, Zheng Zhilong is not worried about them.

But he was worried about Emperor Chongzhen.

Although he led his troops to attack Manzhe Boyi, he was in a state of great success and he won consecutive battles along the way, the problem was that he was not in an imperial edict.

Not only did he start the war without receiving the will of Emperor Chongzhen, but he also did not receive the will of the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

So it became a problem how Emperor Chongzhen would deal with himself.

It is impossible to cut off yourself. After all, I am also devoted to the Ming Dynasty and to be a coolie for more prisoners. Moreover, my eldest son Zheng Fusong has now changed his name to Zhu Chenggong, so I will learn from Emperor Chongzhen.

But it is inevitable that you will be beaten or even demoted.

I just don’t know how many military sticks I will be beaten. Is it fifty or eighty or one hundred?

Or what position will the admiral of the South China Fleet be demoted to? Guerrilla general? Or military chief?

All these are possible.

Zheng Zhilong was full of confusion when his younger brother Zheng Zhifeng hurried over and reported to Zheng Zhilong that the angel was about to arrive.

Zheng Zhilong's heart trembled and said intimately that he was coming, so he cleaned up and prepared to welcome the angel.

When Zheng Zhilong saw the old acquaintance Ma Shi, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Ma Shi, an old acquaintance, came, it means that his own disposal will not be too serious, at least it will not exceed eighty military sticks or be lowered below the guerrilla general or even be reincarnated from the Nanyang Fleet.

Just a mere military stick, it’s just a hit, it doesn’t matter.

As for demotion, as long as the Nanyang Fleet is not opened, it is not up to you? After all, everyone in charge of their own brothers.

Sure enough, Ma Shi smiled and snorted coldly as soon as he met: "Admiral Zheng is indeed powerful. He destroyed a country without an imperial edict. What are you planning to do?"

Zheng Zhilong laughed and said, "Where are the words of angels? I, Lao Zheng, led my troops to Manzhe Boyi in order to ensure the safety of Li Azi's group of people.

After all, Li Azi and the others are also the people of our Ming Dynasty, and they are in Java out of justice. We can’t lose money on such good people, right?"

Ma Shi snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Okay, take back all your reasons for being bullshit. Who among us doesn't know who?"

Seeing Zheng Zhilong being speechless, Ma Shi snorted again: "Admiral Zheng, the result of your unauthorized attack on Boyi, the matter of leading troops to attack Manzhe Boyi has been released. You, bear it!"

After saying that, Ma Shi ordered: "Prepare!"

When Zheng Zhilong heard Ma Shi say that he would endure these words, he knew that he had passed the test and would probably get beaten up, but it would definitely not be too serious.

Sure enough, the Jinyiwei who followed Ma Shi stepped forward and pressed Zheng Zhilong on the deck, went to find the military stick, and then came back to reply to Ma Shi: "Report to my father-in-law, you are all ready!"

Nodded, Ma Shi said: "According to the emperor's oral order, Zheng Zhilong who entered Manchu without obtaining the military order shall be punished!

Thinking of his bloody battle in Daliuqiu, Java and other places, he was punished with eighty sticks and fined him for half a year to observe the effect of the future! If there is any order, he will definitely be killed and not forgive me!"

Zheng Zhilong knelt down and bowed: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Ma Shi nodded, very satisfied with Zheng Zhilong's attitude, and shouted in a low voice: "Beat!"

The Jinyiwei, who was in charge of the execution, directly raised his military stick and hit Zheng Zhilong's back. After three hits, he heated up his body and turned his eyes to Ma Shi's feet.

Ma Shi stood with his feet in the outer horoscope, with a large gap in the middle that could hold a human head, and then shouted, "Give us a hard beating!"

The Jinyiwei, who was in charge of the execution, curled his lips and swung his general stick hard.

It was just that the military sticks were hit very loudly, and Zheng Zhilong also called out extremely miserably, but the oily skin was not broken at all.

After the sixty-fourth military sticks were beaten, the force that had been retracted was no longer restrained. The strong twenty-fourth military sticks hit Zheng Zhilong's back, and immediately the skin was blooming and there was no longer a piece of good meat on his bloody back.

After the fight, the four Jinyiwei lieutenants who were executed grabbed Zheng Zhilong's hands and feet, lifted them off the ground before letting go, and threw Zheng Zhilong on the deck.

After receiving the Jinyiwei's revenge, Ma Shi glared at Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhifeng and others, shouting: "What are you doing when you stand stupidly? Why don't you help your admiral to treat your wounds?"

After entering the cabin, after the doctor who was accompanying the army finished applying medicine for Zheng Zhilong, Ma Shi spoke, "Admiral Zheng, Your Majesty wants our family to bring you a word."

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong struggled to get up and salute, Ma Shi pressed Zheng Zhilong on his shoulder, stopped Zheng Zhilong and smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that this time you hit your twenty military sticks, it's not because you led troops to ease the affairs of Li Azi and the others."

Zheng Zhilong no longer struggled to salute. After all, he could save his life with twenty sticks. If Ma Shi's toes were put into the inner horoscope just now, he would not have any chance of survival.

However, based on the current temper of His Majesty the Emperor, since the fight has been completed, even if his affairs have passed, it is unlikely that there will be any future settlements.

After grinning at Ma Shi, Zheng Zhilong asked, "Please make clear that Zhilong should make a decision to correct his mistakes."

Ma Shi said: "Your Majesty said that the next time I will directly dispatch the fleet, I, the Ming Dynasty, should I make these excuses? Why should I explain to these small foreign countries?

Also, this time the excuse is not good, very bad, so hitting you with these twenty sticks is to give you a long memory!"

Zheng Zhilong endured the pain and bowed to the north and said, "Yes, the criminals will definitely think about their mistakes and repentance."

Ma Shi continued, "Also, it's not that our family is talking about you. You can't make such a self-decision again next time. You must remember to report to the Governor's Office of the Five Army first.

If His Majesty had not given the mercy of the law this time, you, Admiral Zheng, would not have enough brains to cut off by military law!"

Due to the pain, the smile that was squeezed out from Zheng Zhilong's face was even worse than crying: "Aren't you afraid of troubles in the Governor's Office of the Five Army? After all, His Majesty is expeditioning Liaodong, how could the Governor's Office of the Five Army allow me to open the battlefield again?"

Ma Shi smiled and said, "How do you know that the Governor's Office of the Five Army disagreed? Now the Duke of England and Duke Cheng Guo are plotting against each other all day long, do you know?"

After bowing to the north, Ma Shi continued: "The current Fifth Army Governor's Office is no longer the former Fifth Army Governor's Office. Those poor and insuffering have been kicked out.

To be honest, the Governor's Office of the Five Army is planning what place to clean up. If His Majesty hadn't spent too much on his personal expedition to Liaodong, he would have probably officially advanced to the Mughal!"

Zheng Zhilong took a deep breath and asked, "Mughal? That's not a good fight. I really want to fight. Although my Ming Dynasty has a huge victory, the loss will not be too small?"

Ma Shi smiled disdainfully and said, "Do you know why Jiannu was destroyed so quickly this time?"

Seeing Ma Shi turning his slogan to Liaodong, Zheng Zhilong asked curiously: "Is there any connection between this?"

Ma Shi said: "Of course there are some. Most Jiannu soldiers carry smoke guns that smoke with longevity cream on their backs. These people are as weak as the little chicken. What ability do they have to fight for power?"

Zheng Zhilong said curiously: "The blessing and longevity cream is also sold to Mughal?"

Ma Shi nodded and said, "This is natural, but Eunuch Cao is in charge of this matter, so our family is not very clear about it.

I think after the Mughal soldiers turned into Jiannu soldiers, they would not pose any threat to our Ming Dynasty."

Zheng Zhilong laughed and said, "The relationship is good. When the time comes to fight against Mughals, the Nanyang Fleet will just block their sea route!"

Ma Shi said: "You are of course indispensable. But you must be careful in your actions in the future and never do your own things.

For this matter, you can do something as long as you report to the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Why bother to get these twenty military sticks by yourself?"

Zheng Zhilong asked again, "No, if you just hit me, Mr. Zheng, you can't use your West Factory governor to take action personally, right?"

Ma Shi said: "No, our family has to go to Xinming Island to meet His Royal Highness Tang and the others."

When Ma Shi mentioned the people of Tang King Zhu Youjian and others, Zheng Zhilong immediately stopped asking about the matters of the Tian family. It is happiness to not know many things. The more you know, the more dangerous you are.

After instructing Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhifeng to go down and prepare for the banquet, Zheng Zhilong changed his face and smiled and said to Ma Shi: "This time I came back, I will try some local food at Manzhe Boyi first and then go to Xinming Island."

Ma Shi squinted his eyes and said, "You guy must not be holding back anything good. Just say anything if you have anything to say!"

Zheng Zhilong said: "You also know that I am a rough man, far away from the capital. I hope you can talk to me carefully about the affairs of the court?"

Ma Shi slapped Zheng Zhilong on the back, slapped Zheng Zhilong with a grin and screamed in pain. Then he said angrily: "I was also a rough man back then!"

Ignoring Zheng Zhilong's grinning expression, Ma Shi continued: "There is no need to tell you that we should read more about the imperial court's newspaper, as well as the Ming Dynasty's half-monthly newspaper. There are many news on it."

Zheng Zhilong said curiously: "So, Manzhe Boyi will also send officials to govern like Java?"

Ma Shi nodded and said, "It's almost done. Since the half-monthly newspaper has started to talk about this, it's probably true."

But after saying that, Ma Shi smiled wickedly: "Liaodong and Nurkandus are recruiting people. Now Java is recruiting people, and Xinming Island is recruiting people. I think the adults in the court have a headache."

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was puzzled, Ma Shi continued: "There are many people who are willing to go to Liaodong now, and many people who are going to Nurkandus, but not many people who are willing to go to Java and Xinming Island.

After the Manzhebo razed, we had to recruit people to Manzhebo razed, but how many of them were willing to come?"

Zheng Zhilong was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "When I waited for two years to destroy Mughal, wouldn't they have a headache?

But, let's give them a headache. They always call the emperor's herders, and this time they want to see how they shepherd!”

In fact, this problem is not just Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Revenue, who is having a headache, but even Emperor Chongzhen is having a headache.

Sometimes Emperor Chongzhen wondered if he was too kind to these people, so he was so mean that he was so mean that he was unwilling to move one by one?

It was a little better at the beginning, because there were many lands assigned to them and the government gave seeds and oxen, so many people chose to go to Liaodong and Nurkandushi.

However, as the landlords reduced their land rents again and again, to 30%, there were fewer people willing to go to Liaodong and Nurkandus.

Not to mention willing to go to Java and Xinming Island.

This is a headache.

The Ming Dynasty was obviously still a little bit, and there were still so many people, including Liaodong and Nurkandus, as well as Java and Xinming Island, but there were only so many people.

I just don’t want to move over to exchange for a large area of ​​land, and I would rather pay 30% of the rent to the landlord than go there.

That's his mother!
