Taichang had already faintly realized that there must be traitors among the Fujian Navy, and their position is not low!

Otherwise, the pirates would not have known their whereabouts.

There is another thing that he can't even figure out.

Why is this hidden interest group on the southeast coast so bold?

He had already met Ning Hailu, and these people must have known that he was coming.

These people know that he dares to play with him like this when he comes. Isn’t this just an old birthday boy who eats arsenic and thinks that his life is too long?

He was in a dilemma at this moment, because once he left here and returned to Penghu, the pirates were likely to return and landed on the shore and robbed him again, causing him to run around and make him play around!

What to do?

This feeling of being fooled is really annoying!

Outside the sea of ​​Taizhou, above the Navy flagship, Taichang and the generals sat around the table in the cab, at a loss.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then said in a muffled voice: "Now it seems that the Fujian navy must have pirates. The pirates know our whereabouts, but we know nothing about them. If this continues, we have to find a way to break the deadlock, otherwise we may not be able to catch a pirate ship if we have been here for a year."

Who said no?

They have been here for so long, but they haven't seen a pirate. They only heard that they were robbed here and there, running around and being fooled around.

Yuan Keli was also so angry that he thought about it carefully, then gritted his teeth and said, "The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Now the enemy knows us well, but we know nothing about the enemy. We can't fight this battle at all, and we can't even fight if we want to fight. Prince, it seems that we can win by surprise!"

A surprise victory?

Taichang was stunned when he heard this.

He had a strange trick, which was to surrender Zheng Zhilong.

Question: Now they can’t even touch the pirates, where will he go to surrender Zheng Zhilong?

He was stunned for a while, then sighed slightly, "I thought of a strange move, that is, to surrender. As long as he can surrender the biggest pirate leader Zheng Zhilong, then this pirate will be able to kill him."

Recruit the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong!

This is indeed a strange move. Question, how could the emperor think of such a strange move?

Yuan Keli said in confusion: "Emperor, do you think the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong will surrender to the court?"

This is not something I think, but history proves.

Of course, that's not the case.

Taichang thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "This Zheng Zhilong should surrender to the court, because he has never hurt a commoner. Obviously, he doesn't want to do anything. Think about it, why doesn't a pirate leader want to do something? I think he should intend to surrender to the court and find a half-time position. I heard that his father was a clerk in the Nan'an County Office. The so-called dragon gives birth to dragons and phoenixes gives birth to phoenixes, Zheng Zhilong must also want to be an official."

Although this is a bit far-fetched, it can be said that it is barely a matter of time. After all, it is true that Zheng Zhilong does not hurt the common people. He must have an idea if he doesn't hurt the common people.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Keli couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said, "The emperor is wise. Zheng Zhilong really may want to surrender to the court and seek a half-time position."

Alas, why are you wise? So what if you know that someone will surrender?

Now we can’t even see the shadow of others!

Taichang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Oh, the problem now is that we haven't even seen a pirate, so how can we persuade Zheng Zhilong to surrender?"

After hearing this, Yuan Keli thought for a moment and suggested: "Emperor, didn't you say that Zheng Zhilong's father was a clerk in Nan'an County? We captured his family, forced him to appear, and then designed to capture him and slowly persuade him to surrender?"

Well, it's a bit unethical to do this!

However, it is a good way to force Zheng Zhilong out.

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "This plan is feasible, but it cannot be done too much. After all, our purpose is to persuade surrender."

Of course this.

Yuan Keli nodded quickly and said, "I understand."

You understand, I haven't figured it out yet.

Taichang couldn't help asking: "You said that the design captured Zheng Zhilong, how to design it? He would definitely not dare to show up when we went directly to capture his family."

Just kidding, Zheng Zhilong is not a fool. If he led the navy fleet to go over with such a big fanfare, it would be strange if he dared to come out.

Yuan Keli nodded repeatedly and said, "The emperor is right. If we want to use strange tricks, we must have surprise soldiers. Now that our navy is targeted, we must not be used as surprise soldiers. We must ambush all the surprise soldiers on the land."

When Taichang heard this, he said in confusion: "What are we doing when we ambush the surprise soldiers on the land?"

Yuan Keli quickly explained: "Master, we can send infantrymen to defend Nan'an County. As long as we defend Nan'an County, Zheng Zhilong will not be able to rescue his family. At that time, we will lead the navy fleet to copy his retreat and he will have no place to run away."

It makes sense!

There are so many in the invaders in his hands. Where is the ambush?

Taichang hurriedly ordered someone to dig out the map of Fujian.

He stared at the map and looked carefully, then pointed to Nan'an County and asked, "Shihong, are you familiar with this nearby?"

Shen Yourong pointed at the entrance of Jinjiang without hesitation and said, "The last general built a water camp in Shihu to resist Japanese pirates. Shihu is only more than 120 miles away from Tong'an County. If the army is urged to move quickly, it will be a day."

good!

Taichang then asked again: "Liqing, how many troops do you think this surprise warrior needs?"

Yuan Keli estimated: "From the current news, Zheng Zhilong has four or five hundred warships under his command, and he has captured more than 10,000 ordinary people to farm, which proves that he has a lot of people. Weichen estimated that he has at least 10,000 or 20,000 people under his command, otherwise there would be no need to kidnap people to grow land and produce grain. Therefore, we have to send at least 5,000 elite troops to guard Nan'an County."

This is simple. There are 20,000 soldiers from the Shenji Camp guarding him in Taicang. There is no problem in temporarily transferring 5,000 troops to come.

Taichang planned carefully with Yuan Keli and Shen Yourong for a while, and then began to use strange plans.

In the first few days, he pretended to be cruising back and forth along the coast of Zhejiang, looking for pirates. After some of the clutches he sent took the soldiers of the Five Thousand Shenji Battalions, he led the fleet all the way south and headed straight for Nan'ao.

However, when he passed by Shihu Water Village, he seemed to stop and replenish some tamsui, and then he continued to set off.

After he led the navy fleet to Nan'ao, he immediately summoned the Fujian Navy's school to the lobby of the General's Office. Then he looked gloomy and said coldly: "Now we can't find the pirate's nest or block the pirate's fleet. What do you think?"

Alas, what else can I do?

Yu Zigao was a little confused at this moment. He really didn't expect that the pirates were so cunning and were just hiding from them!

When Taichang saw that the generals were not talking, he seemed a little angry but helpless.

He sat there with a gloomy face and thought for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, let's retreat, everyone will go back and think about a solution."

What other solutions can be imagined now?

The pirates just hide from them and don’t fight them!

This method is really gone. After thinking about it for a few days, no one has come up with any solution.

Taichang seemed a little impatient. After a few days, he recruited the generals to the lobby of the General's Mansion and said gloomyly: "It's not a solution to continue like this. It's useless for so many of our warships to gather here. I'd better lead all ships to cruis in the waters of Zhejiang to prevent pirates from robbing Zhejiang again. General Yu, the waters of Fujian and Guangdong will be handed over to you, and you have to be optimistic."

Yu Zigao hurriedly bowed and said, "I will follow the order."

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then pretended to be angry and embarrassed and said, "Is Zheng Shibiao, the biological father of Zheng Zhilong, not a clerk in the Nan'an County Office? Humph, it is unreasonable to give birth to a son who is a pirate and still want to work in the county office safely. This is absurd! He issued an order to order the magistrate of Nan'an to arrest Zheng Zhilong's family. If the pirates cannot be caught, I will take his family to sacrifice the flag!"

You are not a sacrifice flag!

This is how you vent your anger.

Why did the emperor catch Zheng Zhilong's family vent his anger?

Zheng Zhilong is the best among the pirate leaders, at least he has never killed a commoner!

Alas, there is no way, who told me that this guy doesn't have brains?

I have become the leader of a pirate in Shanghai, but I still don’t know how to take away my family. Isn’t this harmful to my family?

Although the generals felt that doing this was a bit inappropriate, no one dared to say anything.

The emperor is now angry. Who dares to provoke the emperor for the sake of a pirate leader?

Taichang led the navy fleet away like this, and Zheng Zhilong's family was also arrested by the magistrate of Nan'an.

The waters of Fujian were suddenly covered with clouds, and the city of Nan'an County was even more panicked.

Zheng Zhilong is the biggest pirate leader. Can he let the emperor kill his whole family vent his anger?

Of course this is impossible.
