The imperial court built a new giant British warship. This was important news. Early the next morning, Fang En rushed to Huanghuawa in the direction Gouzi said. When he arrived, he easily saw a large camp without asking. The camp occupied

The land is dozens of miles away, and there is a wide river on the edge that can lead directly to the sea. It is really a good place for shipbuilding.

There were officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the camp. I looked in through the open door, but when I saw it, I saw that the wood inside was piled up like a hill. It seemed that it was indeed shipbuilding. Otherwise, what would be done with so much wood?

After the situation was confirmed, Fang En stopped staying and hurried towards the beach. He stayed overnight at Xiaoxing, came to the beach, took a boat out to sea, and returned to Mawei Island to meet Zheng Zhilong. After Fang En told Zheng Zhilong exactly what happened during the trip,

After going through it all over again, he arrived at the governor's residence, was ridiculed by the other party, disagreed with each other, and was finally kicked out. Of course, his unexpected gain was the key point of meritorious service. He would add fuel to the fire by what he heard from Gouzi and what he witnessed with his own eyes.

Talked a bit

"The imperial court is building a giant battleship..." After listening to Fang En's story, Zheng Zhilong soon had a feeling of enlightenment, "I asked how those bastards delayed the decisive battle until eight months later. It turns out they have something else.

The plan lasted for eight months, enough to build several giant ships. I heard that the English warships were strong and powerful, with strong guns and powerful guns. By that time, it would not be so easy for us to deal with them in this sea area.

, only we have the final say, how can we allow them to ride on our head?"

"Boss, what do you think we should do now? Should we send out troops immediately and pick out their navy camp first?" Fang En suggested

"This..." Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a moment and directly picked the naval camp. He thought about it, but the imperial naval camp was not just a piece of paper. If you just ask for it, you can choose the imperial warship.

On the sea, it is indeed not an opponent, but don't forget that there is a fort on the shore of the naval camp. The artillery on the fort are all large-caliber long-range heavy artillery, and their defensive capabilities are very powerful. How can you say that?

You can choose if you choose

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Zhilong said: "This matter is not that easy. Although the Fujian Navy is useless, it is still relatively strong in terms of defense. Even if we can defeat it, we will only hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800 by ourselves. Moreover, the imperial court is doing

Rush to build giant battleships. Even if we destroy the navy, it won’t be long before a new navy will be established and even stronger.”

"Then, let's take it by surprise and burn down their shipyard first, so that they can build stale warships," Fang En suggested again.

"That's not right. If the shipyard is burned down, they will find a more secret place to set up a shipyard. In a year's time, they will still build more warships, which will still be a great threat to us." Zheng Zhilong said seriously

"This won't work, that won't work, this...how can this be good...should we just do nothing..." Fang En said with some helplessness.

"Of course we can't do nothing and sit back and wait for death. It's definitely not the fault of me, Zheng Zhilong. Have you ever thought about it. During this period, the navy, which had done nothing at all, dared to compete with us for business, and a shipyard was established in Fujian. All of this

Why did it all happen?" Zheng Zhilong asked

"This..." Fang En didn't think about this question for a moment, so he didn't know how to answer it.

Soon, Zheng Zhilong answered the question on his behalf, "All these changes are due to the arrival of a man from Fujian - Yue Su. Yue Su's arrival gave courage to the officers and soldiers of the Navy. Yue Su's arrival made

They have money and can build shipyards. It can be said that no matter what method we take, as long as Yue Su does not die, the combat effectiveness of the Fujian Navy will definitely become stronger and stronger, and it will definitely become more and more threatening to us.

One day, we will all be wiped out."

"Yes..." After hearing this, Fang En suddenly realized and said quickly: "What the boss said is true, so what should we do? We won't kill that Yue Su directly..."

To kill the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, this is something that Fang En dare not even think about. The Governor of the imperial court, with so many guards around him, how could he be killed so easily? What’s more, this Governor is also the famous ‘Yue Shatou’

"That's what I meant." Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhilong nodded with a positive tone.

"Killing the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang... with our strength, can we do it?" Fang En said without confidence.

"Of course we are not sure if we rely on our family, but if we, Shiba Zhi, join forces, there will be absolutely no problem." Zheng Zhilong said again in a positive tone.

As mentioned before, Shibazhi is not a family, but a pirate alliance group. Although Zheng Zhilong is the boss, the so-called chairman, there are still seventeen directors below. Zheng Zhilong plans to unite with Shibazhi this time.

Zhi used all his power to kill Yue Su.

"There should be no problem with the Eighteen Zhizhi joining forces. I just don't know if the other Seventeenth Families will agree?" Fang En said uncertainly. The various leaders of the Eighteen Zhizhi can join forces only for the sake of profit.

, when people are making money, they will naturally rush to get together in one place. They will do the same when it comes to matters of life and death. But if they encounter things that have nothing to do with them, some people will definitely give in.

"This matter is of great importance. I thought they would work together with me to get my order and mobilize the other seventeen heads to come to Mawei Island to discuss the matter!"

The leaders of the Eighteen Zhi are Zheng Zhilong, Yang Tiansheng, Shi Daxuan, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, Li Guozhu, Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Hong Xu, Gan Hui, He Bin, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Zhifeng, Guo

Huaiyi ,Chen Zhongji

Among the eighteen people, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, and Zheng Zhifeng are Zheng Zhilong's biological brothers, and Zheng Zhiwan is his cousin. They and Zheng Zhilong are all on Mawei Island. There are nearly 7,000 pirates in total, which can be regarded as the main force of the Eighteen Zhi. The other thirteen people

Among them, Li Kuiqi is the strongest. There are about two thousand remaining heads. Some have more than a thousand people, and some have only a few hundred people. I need to explain a little to a man named Shi Daxuan, because this man also has

A famous son, his son’s name is Shi Lang

Okay, the leaders of the Eighteen Zhizhi gathered together one day later. Zheng Zhilong was polite to everyone, and then got down to business and told his plan. In the near future, he will send troops to Quanzhou and eliminate Yue Su while the officers and soldiers are unprepared.

As soon as he said the topic, the other leaders immediately started talking. After a while, Zheng Zhihu was the first to express his approval. After all, father and son went into battle, brothers fighting tigers, and the elder brother's proposal. How could the younger brother not support Zheng Zhibao?

Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhiwan also expressed their approval. Are they all one family?

But then, someone also raised objections. This person was Li Kuiqi, "Brother Zheng, I think this is inappropriate. We are pirates, and our emphasis is on fighting at sea. If you want to fight against the imperial navy on the sea, brother

But if you say that we abandon the boat and go ashore to fight the imperial infantry, please forgive me for agreeing. Once we go ashore, we will use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. In the past, you took your brothers to the shore for a small fight.

Just kidding, it doesn't matter if you don't attack the city. My brother didn't say anything, but this time I went to attack the governor's palace. I heard that the "Yue Shatou" is very powerful, but we don't know if he is living up to his reputation.

But after all, he is the biggest official in Fujian. As soon as the police are sent out on his side, the garrison troops and horses in Quanzhou City will immediately reinforce him, and the officers and soldiers stationed in Quanzhou will not neglect them either. They will also fight non-stop.

The navy is not far away. We are not allowed to be dumped by others. The risk is too great. So, brother Zheng, I will never agree with your idea."

Li Kuiqi's analysis was reasonable. Who dared to sit idly by and do nothing to attack the governor's residence? It can be said that the local officials did not help him. It can be said that the Queen Mother did not like Lord Yue very much, but if Lord Yue really had trouble in the local area, what would happen to the prefect of Quanzhou?

, the garrison, the separate garrison generals, all had to accompany the local officers and soldiers who were buried in Quanzhou, plus the navy, and Yue Su's men, there were 13,400 of them, even if there were more than 20,000 pirates, this was not the case at sea.

, is on land, the imperial court occupies the right time and place, how can it be so easy to win?

After Li Kuiqi finished speaking, Guo Huaiyi immediately stood up to express his support, "Boss Zheng, what Brother Li said is not unreasonable. After all, we are doing business at sea, and going to the shore to confront the officers and soldiers head-on is really not what we should do. Moreover, this situation

Regardless of whether we win or lose the battle, it will be of no benefit to us. Let’s talk about losing first. If we lose, it is very likely that we will be unable to recover. Even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses. And if a governor dies in the imperial court, he will definitely lose power.

Send troops to annihilate us. In the past, we had a small fight, and the imperial court had no time to pay attention to us. It was considered peaceful. If the matter really escalated, the imperial court would definitely send heavy troops. At that time, in this sea area, I am afraid that we will not be able to gain a foothold.

"The land is gone"

After the two of them raised objections, Yang Tiansheng and Chen Zhongji also raised objections. They felt that what Li and Guo said was very reasonable. There are no benefits in going ashore and fighting in the imperial court. There must be a lot of losses. Are you Zheng Zhilong?

We don’t know if we took the wrong medicine, but once we actually go ashore and take action, the people who rush forward to serve as cannon fodder will definitely not be your people. It will definitely be our group of people who are working hard for something that has no benefit in winning.

We brothers are helpless and at most we can only support you mentally.

Of course, it's not that except for the person named Zheng, everyone does not support Zheng Zhilong. Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu, and Gan Hui are still willing to support Zheng Zhilong. It's just that these three are powerful and not very good. Shi Daxuan still has

There are thousands of people, but in the hands of Hong Xu and Gan Hui, there are only a few hundred people who are the weakest among the Eighteen Zhi.
