Zheng Zhilong and Liu Yi fought in Nancheng Street, but they didn't expect that Liu Yi not only had outstanding troops and horses, but also killed Zheng Zhilong's 1,000 infantry and 200 cavalry troops with more than 100 cavalry. He only suffered dozens of casualties. What's more, he didn't

What comes to mind is that Liu Yi is not only an excellent soldier, but also has outstanding personal martial arts skills. He is not his enemy.

At this moment, Liu Yi put the Yanling knife on his neck. Hearing Zheng Zhilong declare his willingness to surrender, Liu Yi stared at Zheng Zhilong for a while, and felt that Zheng Zhilong was terrified. Regardless of his age, the man in front of him was only eighteen years old.

He is nine years old, and Zheng Zhilong is already a twenty-four-year-old young man, but Liu Yi's eyes don't look like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy at all, but more like a veteran who has fought many battles. His sharp gaze makes people look at him.

Don't dare to look directly.

More than ten breaths of time seemed like a century had passed. Liu Yi slowly took the Yanling knife away from Zheng Zhilong's neck, inserted the knife into the scabbard, and said slowly: "Zheng Zhilong, listen carefully, I, Liu

Yi has never been a person who plays by the rules. Now that you have fallen into my hands, I will not kill you because you and your fleet are still of great use to the imperial court. You must have understood in the past few years that the imperial court

Even you, the navy master

We can't win, let alone negotiate with Franji. The Dutch are going to fight, and your navy is well-equipped with well-supplied soldiers, strong ships and powerful artillery, which is exactly what the court needs. I think what you are doing is also to get rid of you.

The way of old rival Xu Xinsu is to get an official position with the soldiers and horses in your hands. It's just that you are eager to prove yourself, so you sacrifice your own strengths and use your own weaknesses. You don't have to fight a land battle with the army after giving up the navy.

Said that your failure was your own fault."

Now it was Zheng Zhilong's turn to be surprised. Even Feng Chengshi behind him looked at Liu Yi in surprise. He didn't expect that the new army general had such a thorough understanding of the situation. It was so powerful. Liu Yi said Zheng Zhilong

She was like a woman who had been stripped naked, everything was exposed in front of others. It turned out that even her little thoughts could be seen through. Of course, Zheng Zhilong didn't know that Liu Yi was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Yi didn't have time to understand Zheng Zhilong's thoughts. Time was running out. It only took half an hour to get here from the government office. Liu Yi had to put the plan he had been thinking about these days into action before Yuan Chonghuan's team arrived.

Since he happened to capture Zheng Zhilong and his men's family members, he didn't want to reason with Zheng Zhilong and make them emotional, so he told Zheng Zhilong straightforwardly about his arrangement.

"Zheng Zhilong, now you listen carefully to what I say. I will only say it once, and I think you have no more choice. Now I want to talk to you about two things. First, I caught you today, and I said

, not only will I not kill you, but I will also help you realize your long-cherished wish. After a while, Governor Yuan’s large team should

I will rush to Nancheng, and I will hand you over to the Superintendent, but don't worry, I will definitely persuade the Superintendent to accept you for the use of the imperial court. With your strength, although you have lost all your infantry, your naval force is still

Now, I will try my best to recommend you to become an officer in Fujian. I estimate that you will be at least the position of General Qian. Of course, it is also possible.

It will be a fourth-grade coastal defense guerrilla. Commander Yuan is not a rigid person. What he needs now is to reassure the Holy Lord. He understands that the Ming Dynasty Navy has been corrupted and new blood must be injected. Moreover, your mainland power is completely destroyed.

If you are not a bigger threat, you can be used to eliminate pirates and attack foreign barbarians, so

I can guarantee that Commander Yuan will not kill you. Don’t think I’m joking with you. Although I am only a small commander now, in recent battles, our Qingyi New Army has performed extraordinary, especially since I personally

Once I catch you, I believe the supervisor will definitely listen to my advice." Liu Yi said calmly.

Zheng Zhilong was not surprised now, but looked at Liu Yi like a monster, thinking, is he crazy and wants to help me? What is the conspiracy here? Zheng Zhilong is also a hero, so he calmed down at the moment.

look up

He said to Liu Yi: "General Liu, you must be so generous, there must be some conditions. Since you also said that time is urgent, please don't beat around the bush. I, Zheng Zhilong, am an upright man. If you want me to do anything, you can

Just say it."

Liu Yi put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Although I promised you to recommend you in front of Governor Yuan, I want you to do something for me. I heard that you were born in Japan. I also saw it just now.

Well, your wife, Mr. Tagawa, is also Japanese. It is very unfortunate. I have heard a little bit about Japan. I know that Japan is rich in silver and has a large number of gold mines, copper mines, lead mines and

Saltpeter mines, especially the lead mines in the Weitai and Erlu areas, are excellent in making lead. They can not only be used to produce ammunition, but can also be used in various aspects of coastal workshops. I heard that the Dutch brought pencils from Europe.

Technology is more convenient than the Ming Dynasty's writing brush. Kamioka and Ebisu in Honshu not only have lead mines but are also rich in sulfur. All of these things are urgently needed by our army.

I hope that after you become a coastal defense guerrilla, you can enter the Yangtze River through Wusongkou and transport the things I want in batches every month to the dock in Jiangxinzhou, Taiping Prefecture, where our Anhui Chamber of Commerce in Southern Anhui has built a huge dock.

Handle a large amount of goods. Since you have an official status, I will definitely be promoted after I return. I will open the Jiangfang River in South Zhili for you. You only need to transport what I want. We will pay fairly.

Yi, I heard that the Japanese like our calligraphy, painting, porcelain and tea, and they often spend a lot of money to buy them. It doesn't matter that our Huizhou Chamber of Commerce has many of these things. I won't take advantage of you. I want you to give me one million taels of silver at a time.

In the future, we will have normal trade with Japan. If you act as a middleman, I will take half of your profits and make a profit on the price difference. Don’t try to fool me. You know the consequences once I find out. I think you will be fine.

Give your opinion."

Liu Yi finished speaking in one breath, and Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand. Isn't Liu Yi the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army? No, he might be guarding thousands of households when he goes back, or he might be promoted to the Commander's Department. So

How could an officer of the imperial court act like a smuggler? Aren’t these Ming generals all drinking the blood of their soldiers? They have already made such a fortune.

With so much money, he actually risked beheading for smuggling. What was his plan? Did he want to rebel? Otherwise, why would he need so many things? Also, he actually wanted to give him one million taels.

After selling all his belongings, it only cost two to three million taels. How can he get one million taels in cash? And isn't he afraid of betraying himself?

In the flash of lightning, Zheng Zhilong had already turned over what Liu Yi said several times in his head, and he really couldn't figure out Liu Yi's motives.

Liu Yi saw Zheng Zhilong's eyes rolling around and sneered: "Zheng Zhilong, you don't have to guess about my affairs, and you can't figure it out. You just need to know how to do what I just said, and don't think about betraying me."

I won't give you that chance for things like that, because I will take away all your family members!"

"What, you are going too far to bully others. What crime are the old, weak, women and children guilty of?" Zheng Zhilong said angrily.

"I have already told you, don't ask me to say it a second time. Are the civilians, old, weak, women and children who died in the war because of you, Zheng Zhilong, guilty? I have already told you, you have no choice, and don't think about following me.

bargain because

Because I am not discussing with you at all, I am ordering you. Don't worry, your family members will get the best care in my Taiping Mansion. I will find the best teacher to teach your son Fusong. I won't

How long does it take

I only need you to cooperate with me for five years. After five years, I will naturally return the hostages to you. During this period, you can come to Taiping Mansion to visit your family, but don’t think about playing tricks. Once I find out, none of those people will survive. Of course

You don't have to agree. If you don't agree, these people will die now, and you won't be able to live, let alone think about making any achievements." Liu Yi said in a low voice, his tone was very calm, as if he was saying something wrong.

Commonly related little things.

Zheng Zhilong had already realized how scary the person in front of him was. There were unfathomable thoughts behind those eyes staring at him.

In fact, Liu Yi didn't want to do this. He also felt that doing so might be a bit despicable, but how could he be despicable to pirates? If he didn't do this, how many innocent people would have to be sacrificed? As long as he could use these resources to practice

If you create a strong army, you can save more lives. As for the reputation, it doesn't matter. I came from time travel and don't care about it at all.

Zheng Zhilong is not a mother-in-law kind of person. Nowadays, he has no choice but to be a slave and a fish. The tall and strong young general in front of him is definitely a ruthless character. He immediately prostrated himself and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness. What the General said is all about Zheng Zhilong."

Promise, but if you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning from heaven."

Liu Yi then helped Zheng Zhilong up and said: "In that case, I would like to congratulate Zheng Youqi in advance. In addition, your brother Zheng Zhihu and the fifth leader Yang San died in the battle. I will halve the silver to express my condolences."

Zheng Zhilong's face twitched, and then returned to normal. He felt better about Yang San's death, but he was very heartbroken when Zheng Zhihu died in battle. After all, he was his biological brother. He didn't know at this time that he

Zheng Zhibao, who stayed to defend the city gate after leaving the battlefield, also died in the rebellion.

, as a person who has been licking blood from his knife for many years, his heart has gradually hardened, but he will still be heartbroken when his relatives died tragically. Especially Zheng Zhilong liked his eldest son Fusong very much, so Liu Yi took Fusong as a hostage and let Zheng Zhilong

With no other choice, Zheng Zhilong could only say: "Well, Zhilong, thank you, General!"
