The lazy sunshine shines on the big bed carved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and the room is filled with a faint fragrance and intoxicating atmosphere...

Pang Gang lay on the bed with his back on his back. A snow-white body was obediently lying in his arms and gasping slightly. A little bit of fragrant sweat oozed out from his crystal body. A faint fragrance like orchid rushed into Pang Gang's nose from time to time. Pang Gang's big hands unconsciously stroked the back of this delicate body. The beauty in her arms hummed comfortably and gently, like a well-behaved Persian cat.

After a long time, the delicate body in his arms asked softly: "Husband, you sent Lin Feng and Ruolan's elder brother to Obarro. If you open the door to trade with those barbarians, this news will not be hidden. In this way, our Qingzhou will definitely become the target of the Ming Dynasty. Aren't you afraid of attracting criticism from the government and the public? It is important to know that our foundation is not yet stable enough to be afraid of any challenges."

Pang Gang sighed lightly: "Manzi, it's not that I'm too risky, but that time is not waiting for me. Now the development of our Qingzhou has reached a neck. If we want to continue to develop, Shandong alone is a little small. If we want to expand our strength, we will inevitably expand our territory. But now it is not the time to develop to Henan, Hunan or Jiangsu. We need a huge amount of silver to continue to develop. You also know that our current 26,000 army costs 600,000 taels of silver every year, and the navy is a bottomless pit. The scale of more than 100 warships alone is less than one million yuan in annual funds. As for the training of sailors, gunners, and training costs, they are even more in the sea. Do you think we can do it without making any other source of wealth?"

Wei Manqi comfortably pressed her pretty face against her husband's generous chest... Her pretty Qiong's nose slightly frowned: "Hmph, the 20,000 troops you asked my father to recruit last time have been recruited, and now we have to use more money. What do you think you will do?"

Pang Gang laughed and said, "What else can I do? Smoothing. Now our Qingzhou cement, fine salt, iron ore and various taxes can bring us more than 6 million yuan in benefits every year. Raising 50,000 troops and a navy should be enough. At worst, just reduce the expenses in various places, and it can last for a few years."

With his slender jade hands unconsciously drawing circles on his husband's strong chest, Wei Manqi said coquettishly: "You. The court has a million-dollar army, and the military expenditure required a year is only three to four million yuan. Look at you, you have only raised tens of thousands of troops and sold more than much less than the court every year. I really don't know what you think."

Pang Gang snorted: "How can you compare the tofu soldiers from the court with our Qingzhou army? Are our Qingzhou soldiers and horses the court's soldiers the same thing? The Tartars just sent tens of thousands of troops, and tens of thousands of troops were scared and silent. They let the Tartars swagger with the sign of "free delivery" and return to Liaodong with hundreds of thousands of people and the stolen wealth. It would be better if such an army was not needed."

Seeing her husband getting angry, Wei Manfeng, who was lying in her husband's arms, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Pang Gang's chest to show comfort, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know that my husband is the most capable, and I shouldn't question my husband's ability in this matter."

Pang Gang hummed with anger, reached out and slapped his wife's snow-white and plump thighs, making a crisp "pop".

Wei Manfeng's pretty face had just disappeared and his face was covered with redness. With a "Ningying", the serious matter he wanted to say was also thrown behind his head. He glanced at her husband with a charming look, gritted his silver teeth, and turned his delicate body and lay on her husband. He leaned close to Pang Gang's ear and murmured softly: "Husband, I also want a son, you can't be partial to you..."

Pang Gang smiled bitterly when he heard this. This kind of thing has nothing to do with bias. He has always been a perfect match for his conscience. However, no matter how generous a woman has a scrupulous side, Pang Gang will naturally not be stupid enough to reason with women in this way.

However, Pang Gang had no time to tell the difference at this time. At this time, his clone had been swallowed by a warm and wet.........

In the southern part of Taiwan, there is a majestic castle. This castle belongs to the Western-style bastion-shaped coastal fortress, and is very spectacular and grand. The houses and camps in the city are staggered in height. The layers are clear, and there are stairs connected between the layers. There are diamond-shaped and semicircular fortresses around and corners of the castle, with cannon positions on top, which are the main offensive and defensive forces in the city.

The castle is divided into two parts: inner city and outer city. The inner city is square and has three floors; the bottom floor is a warehouse, and the two floors above the ground have facilities such as the Chief Office, the Lookout, the Church, the Soldier Barracks and other facilities. At the highest point of the castle, a Dutch flag consisting of red, white and blue is hung. The representatives are brave and wish them loyalty.

The outer city is connected to the northwest corner of the inner city. It was originally built to strengthen the defense of the inner city and prevent the enemy from rushing straight into the political center. It is rectangular, slightly lower than the inner city, with officials, family dormitories, conference halls, offices, hospitals, warehouses and other public buildings.

At this moment, in a wide office, the Dutch Governor of Taiwan Putsman Putsman sat on a silver-white chair, holding a cup of coffee in his left hand and a small spoon in his right hand stirring constantly, a strong fragrance spreading in the conference hall.

In front of Putsman was sitting a young man dressed in a plain robe, a pair of thin-soled fast shoes, a square scarf, and a standard Ming Dynasty scholar. The young man had a handsome face and a calm expression, and was drinking a cup of black tea slowly.

If Pang Gang were here, he would definitely recognize him. This was Zheng Sen, the son of the Fujian guerrilla general Zheng Zhibao who brought his fleet to attack Qingzhou last time.

Putsman tasted it. After savoring the coffee, he placed the coffee on the table in front of him and said in Chinese with a strange accent: "Mr. Zheng, I wonder what good news did you bring to me again this time?"

Zheng Sen still had a light expression, neither arrogant nor impatient, and his hands holding the teacup were still very steady. However, the words spoken from his mouth revealed his unhappy mood: "Hiss Putsman, there is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, that is, pretending to be confused when you understand, you are talking about your situation. You may not know the purpose of my visit this time, so why ask multiple questions?"

Putsman's face flashed with embarrassment. Of course, he understood the purpose of the son of the most famous pirate leader in Nanyang in front of him, but for some purpose he had to pretend to be confused. Now Putsman can only answer the other party's questions with silence.

Zheng Sen saw Putsman pretending to bow his head and drink coffee, and he secretly hated him. He had to say something clearly: "Mr. Putsman, I remember that last time we agreed that we would provide information and funds, you dispatched warships to intercept passing ships in Shandong in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, and cut off their business roads, but you seem to have not fulfilled your promise."

"I think I can explain it to you about this issue." Putsman put down his coffee and shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I admit that we did not fulfill what we had promised, but there is a reason. The news you gave us before was wrong. The navy in Qingzhou is not like you said that there are only those huge three-masted warships, ten Dafu and more than thirty cruise expresses. Their strength is several times that you said, several times. Do you understand?"

Speaking of this, Putsman felt a sense of gratitude. The guilt that had been left in his heart had long been thrown out of the sky by him, and his voice began to grow louder.

"According to the information we have obtained, the Qingzhou Navy has at least six large three-masted warships, and the Dafu ship has more than twenty, and the cruise express ships are no less than one hundred. Do you understand? It is more than one hundred."

Speaking of this, Putsman couldn't help but secretly glad that he did not act rashly, otherwise it would be fine if he and Qingzhou had broken up. If the Qingzhou general was completely annoyed, his fleet would have to bear the other party's endless revenge.

Zheng Sen couldn't help but speak for a moment, but he still refuted: "Even so, the other party's sailors were just a group of rookies who had just moved from land to the ship. With your three more than 900-ton warships and more than 20 cruiser fleets, what are you going to worry about?"

"Haha..." Putsman sneered, "Young Master Zheng, the lives of our Dutch soldiers are precious. I took them to the far east not to let them die, nor would they let them make unnecessary sacrifices. This matter was first provided by you. Fortunately, we discovered it in time, otherwise we will ask you for losses if it causes huge losses."

"You..." A blue color flashed across Zheng Sen's face. These Dutch devils are so shameless. They still want to ask for losses if they have not done their jobs. You are so beautiful. One day I will lead the army to drive these red-haired devils out of Taiwan.

Zheng Sen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "So, Governor Putsman is planning to break his promise? You must know that we have paid a deposit of 100,000 taels of silver in advance."

"I'm sorry, you concealed the other party's intelligence first. Please forgive me for being powerless. Of course, we will refund half of the deposit for your reservation of 100,000 taels of silver. We will leave the other half as usual as a fine for your inaccurate information."

Zheng Sen wished that this group of damn Dutch robbers would pull out the long sword from his waist and stab the greedy robber to death, but when his eyes swept to the door, the row of Dutch soldiers holding muskets stood, the anger in his heart slowly subsided.

"Since that's the case, I don't think we have anything to talk about, so I'll say goodbye first."

After saying that, Zheng Sen stood up in a hurry, and strode out in anger...
