Why did Taichang and the imperial navy suddenly block here? Didn’t he take the fleet to the Zhejiang waters?

Not only Zheng Zhilong could not imagine this, but even the traitor with great supernatural powers would not have imagined it.

In fact, Taichang did not lead the navy fleet to the waters of Zhejiang, but only a few wolf-fanged warships and more than a dozen wheeled boats.

He hid among the archipelago in the outermost waters of Fuzhou Prefecture with his navy fleet, and then asked several wolf-tooth warships and more than ten wheel boats to run to the Zhejiang waters, wandering back and forth along the coast every day, bluffing, making people mistakenly think that the imperial navy was there.

Zheng Zhilong must be anxious when he learned that his family had been arrested. With his concealment, this guy was indeed fooled.

Now, as long as you take down Zheng Zhilong and encircle other pirates, it will be simple.

As for whether Zheng Zhilong will come to talk to him, he is not worried at all.

Because in this situation, Zheng Zhilong had no choice. If he didn’t talk about it, he would be seeking death!

Sure enough, the wolf-tooth warship quickly took Zheng Zhilong over.

Taichang was sitting there waiting with a smile, but Zheng Zhilong felt his hands and feet become a little weak.

He was not so weak that his hands and feet were weak, but he was frightened by the strength of the imperial navy.

In the past, he only heard that the navy fleet led by the emperor did not use sails, it was very fast and had many artillery.

At this moment, he personally experienced the speed of a series of wolf-fang warships, and saw the cannons equipped on the wolf-fang warships. When he saw roughly the number of wolf-fang warships, he felt a little distressed.

My God, this is not just a very fast speed, it is simply a frighteningly fast!

There was no wind at all at this moment, and this warship could drive as fast as a sailboat when it was windy!

There are also the number of artillery guns, one ship has six gates, and one hundred is six hundred gates!

Moreover, they are all big guys.

He can't stand it with a hundred such warships alone!

He was even more frightened after climbing the stairs and gunboats.

Oh my God, there are so many people outside these three-story artillery towers that there are not three or four hundred people, and they each have a musket.

With this strength, even if there is no cannon in the artillery tower, they can make them piss off!

There are three or four hundred muskets on the gunboat of a building ship, and there are only a few hundred muskets under his command!

The imperial navy is so strong that he can still dominate the Ming Dynasty's seas?

To be honest, he really has no confidence now.

This time, he was really scared by the emperor, so when he saw Taichang, he lay down without hesitation and kowtowed respectfully: "The sinners pay homage to the emperor."

Taichang nodded with a smile, looked up and down again, then raised his hand slightly and said, "Get up."

He wanted to use this guy to deal with other pirates, but he would not let this guy grow his strength so that no one could cure him like Chongzhen.

Zheng Zhilong is not a good bird.

To put it bluntly, he is a profit-oriented businessman, and he is also a very selfish person!

Historically, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty not to help the Ming Dynasty eliminate other pirates, but to use the Ming Navy to help him eliminate other pirates, so that he could become the overlord of the Far East, so that he could monopolize the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade, and make more money.

If that's the case, that's fine.

After all, whether he used the Ming Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty to use him, the final result was to wipe out other pirates.

This is not a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty court.

The problem is that this guy is too selfish.

He used the Ming Navy to wipe out other pirates, thus becoming the overlord of the Far East Sea, monopolizing the Ming foreign trade, and earning more money in a year than the Ming court's taxes.

However, he did not donate a tael of silver to help Ming tide through the difficulties!

He did not send out a single army or a soldier to help the Ming Dynasty deal with Jiannu and eliminate the rebels.

He only cares about making money by himself and enjoying himself.

Finally, Chongzhen hanged himself, Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming was finished, Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming was counting on him to recover the Ming Dynasty, but he was still unwilling to send troops.

It was useless for Emperor Longwu to beg him, so he watched Emperor Longwu fight with the Qing army himself without any hesitation.

As a result, Emperor Longwu died, and he actually surrendered to the Qing court directly!

He thought it was doing business and seeking profit and avoiding harm. He didn't know that seeking favor to the Qing court was just a matter of trying to get a tiger's skin.

Even his own son Zheng Chenggong couldn't stand his selfish and stupid behavior. He was so angry that he cried and cut off his Confucian robe in the Confucius Temple.

As a result, no matter how hard he persuaded him, he was sent up and killed by the Qing court, and all the relatives who surrendered with him were slaughtered!

Of course Taichang knew what Zheng Zhilong did in history.

He is not Emperor Chongzhen or Emperor Longwu. This guy wants to use him, but he has no way to control this guy.

After Zheng Zhilong got up, he looked at it carefully because of his false intentions, and then pretended to appreciate it: "How can General Zheng become a bandit? Are you willing to surrender to the court?"

I want to surrender to the court, but I don’t think of such surrender to the law!

At this time, Zheng Zhilong had no choice. People blocked him. Can he say he was unwilling to do so?

He could only pretend to be excited and said, "The people who sinned have always wanted to submit to the court, but he was afraid that what he had done in the past would not be tolerated by the court. Now, the people who sinned have finally got what they wish. Thank you for not taking the past grudges and accepting the people who sinned."

Humph, you're pretending to me, do you think I'm so easy to cheat?

Like to pretend, right?

Come on, I will pretend with you.

Taichang pretended to be overjoyed and said excitedly: "Oh, General Zheng is here to surrender, the Ming Navy is like a tiger! You can just be the guerrilla general of the Navy for the time being. Don't worry, as long as you can lead the army to wipe out the pirates, I will definitely reward you according to my merits and give you an additional title."

Let’s be the guerrilla general.

Zheng Zhilong pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you for your grace."

Hehe, let's just pretend here for the time being.

Next, we will talk about the important things.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "This time I led the navy south to the south, it can be said that everything went wrong. It seems that you have predicted all actions in advance. Do you think there are your inner supporters in the Fujian navy? Who is this inner supporter?"

Humph, that guy is not a good thing.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong has a bad relationship with this inner response, because this inner response is as ambitious as him, and he is doing better than him now!

He will naturally get rid of such a person.

He bowed without hesitation: "The emperor is wise. The Fujian Navy does have our inner support. This person is Xu Xinsu, the general of the Navy, who is!"

Fujian Navy General Xu Xinsu!

This guy seems to be the right-hand man of General Yu Zigao!

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but say with a serious face: "Is this really this person? Do you have any basis?"

Zheng Zhilong quickly explained: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. The general was originally a ship owner under the maritime merchant Li Dan. This Li Dan is the pirate leader Jiabidan mentioned in the court. Xu Xinsu is Li Dan's sworn brother. The maritime goods smuggled by Li Dan before were acquired by Xu Xinsu."

Xu Xinsu turned out to be the sworn brother of the pirate leader Jia Bidan!

Taichang couldn't help but be surprised and said, "How did such a person get into the Fujian Navy, and how did he become a general?"

Zheng Zhilong said without hesitation: "I heard that when the eunuch party was in power a few years ago, he bribed Wu Chunfu, the Minister of Revenue, in the name of his fellow countrymen, and asked Wu Chunfu to deal with him, and bought a general position as a navy chief. Then he cooperated with Li Dan to recruit pirates such as Yang Lu and others, and bribed Wu Chunfu to ask for credit for him again. With these so-called merits, he quickly climbed to the position of the navy general. In fact, pirates such as Yang Lu were given to him by Li Dan, and those pirates came to help him do their business!"

It's a eunuch again!

This Wu Chunfu, you are dead and you will leave me a disaster!

It seems that Xu Xinsu is the spokesperson of Southeast Interest Group.

Taichang thought about it and asked again: "Pirate Jiabidan seems to be dead. Why are you still in contact with Xu Xinsu?"

Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a moment and still honestly explained: "Your Majesty, the general of the United States had to buy goods before. Moreover, he was in a prosperous position as a navy general, and his business was getting bigger and bigger. Even the Dutch came to him and asked him to be a trade representative for the Ming Dynasty. We had to do business with the Dutch through him, so we have always been in touch with him."

Damn, this guy is also the Dutch trade representative!

The spokesperson of Southeast Interest Group was originally considered a traitor, but the nature of this traitor would be completely different with the word "sell".

This guy is just a traitor!

Such a traitor actually got involved in the Fujian Navy and became a sect general of the Navy!

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth in anger.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Why did the Fujian Navy General Yu Zigao respect him so much? Did this guy accept his bribe?"

Zheng Zhilong said without hesitation: "This is certain. The reason why Xu Xinsu was able to make a fortune in the Fujian Navy was that he was able to make a fortune by relying on money. He bribed and flattered his superiors. His successive governors and generals took his benefits, and Yu Zigao was no exception."

Alas, Yu Zigao is a good player in leading troops to fight, but his emotional intelligence is very low.

He didn't even think about why he wanted to bribe him!

Yu Wuxiang’s reputation for his lifetime, how could he cultivate such a confused person?

In fact, he overestimated Yu Dayou's emotional intelligence a bit.

Yu Dayou is indeed very skilled in martial arts, proficient in military tactics, and has great military achievements, and is invincible.

However, when it comes to emotional intelligence, Yu Dayou is not that low.

This guy made countless military achievements, but he was promoted very slowly. He was often dismissed from his post and investigated for no reason, then made meritorious, and then was dismissed from his post and investigated for no reason, and then made meritorious.

He never knew how many times he had been dismissed and investigated in his life.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, that is, because he has low emotional intelligence and will not curry favor with his boss!

Yu Zigao seems to be a little better than his father in this regard, at least he was promoted to the general of the Fujian Navy before he made any military achievements.
Chapter completed!
