If it were a few years ago, the Liu family and the Zheng family were married, and the Zheng family was a high-spirited one. However, after the Zheng family entered the Suzhen Dynasty, they expanded their power rapidly and developed very rapidly. They were in a very uncontrollable situation and became a hero in one side and dominated the other side for only a few years.

Now, in all aspects, the power of the Zheng family is larger than that of the Liu family, and it is really not a high-level player. This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Zhibao dares to show off now. If he had been climbing up the top of the line before, he would not dare to say tough words, but now the power of the Zheng family is even bigger, and he has a lot of confidence in speaking.

Of course, the Zheng family is the head of Zheng Zhilong now. Zheng Zhibao is just the second head, but this second head has very great power. Basically, Zheng Zhilong is not here, so the Zheng family is the only one who can control the Zheng family, and he can also command the people in Shibazhi.

Zheng Zhibao has a good relationship with the Liu family. He has been in a strong relationship for more than 20 years. In the past ten years, he also understood one thing very well, that is, the Liu family is just rich and has no power. Liu Yuanqiao has always been very low-key and forbearable, and has not developed the military strength that belongs to their family.

They are not like the Zheng family. They are desperate to develop their naval combat strength. Now their maritime strength has reached the point where they can confront the Dutch.

Because the Zheng brothers also understand the same thing very well, they were recruited by force, and in the end they might gain a foothold by force. If they had no soldiers in their hands, they might be killed after recruitment.

So if someone else recruits the military power, they will generally give up their military power and be a wealthy farmer. Only the Zheng family will not only not weaken their military power after recruiting the military, but will further expand. Of course, they are expanding their strength at sea, but still not developing on land, so they have not caused so many taboos from the government.

Zheng Zhibao and Liu Yuanqiao are friends of life and death, so naturally they knew that the Liu family was not having a good life now. He also knew that in fact, the rich and powerless Liu family was a big fat piece in the eyes of many people. He had long advised his brother Liu Yuanqiao to start developing military force. With his own military force, he would have to be afraid of who else in the future. Even the emperor must speak politely to them.

When he saw Liu Yuanqiao, he was still a little embarrassed and unable to let go of his ancestral property. However, his son-in-law, he didn't care much about his ancestral property and could feel relieved. Zheng Zhibao was still a little relieved.

Since Liu Bu made publicly requests and his daughter did not object very much, as his father-in-law, he would definitely not object. He agreed to Liu Bu's request on the spot and was willing to dispatch a fleet to transport grain and cloth for their Liu family.

It is worth mentioning that since his daughter became an adult, she has been staying with them to help since she was sixteen years old and is one of his important assistants.

Liu Bu finally got the support of his father-in-law. The support of Zheng Zhibao, the boss, was very important. This means that they could transport a large amount of food and cloth here by sea, and then transport it to Jimo for disaster relief. This would not have to bypass areas such as Laizhou Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture.

Liu Bu was sure that if they transported grain and cloth here on a large scale, they would probably be intercepted by local governments in Jinan and Laizhou Prefectures because the local government also lacked these things. If they were transported in small batches, they would turn a blind eye and transport them directly to intercept them.

This is Qingdao, and the shipping is very developed, but it has not yet been developed and utilized. Now they plan to open several large docks here, and then load and unload a large amount of goods from here and then transport them to the places where they need disaster relief.

As a local Shandong native, Liu Bu naturally knew that Shandong and even the capital were also a place of four battles, and it could not be used as a base for development. However, as the situation developed, he felt that everything was possible. If he wanted to occupy places like Dengzhou or Laizhou Prefecture, the court had no other choice than to fight it to the death. However, if he chose places like Jiaozhou and Qingdao, which were too remote, the court had not developed it, and there was no value here. It was a corner of the corner, which might not attract the attention of the court.

Liu Bu’s initial plan now is to build this place into his logistics base. As long as he is allowed to farm and grow grain here and train tens of thousands of soldiers, it would be amazing.

If it is another place, it will be completely destroyed by the imperial army. But they are different here. Even if the imperial court blocks me, I can still obtain supplies through sea transportation. It is not easy for the imperial court to block them, and it is not like blocking them just by blocking them.

Liu Bu believed in his father, Lord Lafayette and others' initiative to form an alliance with the Zheng family, mainly because he was attracted by the Zheng family's property and business help, but Liu Bu had greater plans. He knew that if he formed a military alliance with the Zheng family, he could get the support of the Zheng family at sea. If they got the support of the Zheng family's fleet at sea, it would be difficult for others to block them.

Lao Fu and his friends were interested in the Zheng family's business and money, while Liu Bu was interested in the Zheng family's military force, the Zheng family's power at sea.

In fact, the Zheng family's power at sea is already strong enough, so powerful that they have no friends, and their powerful opponents are trembling. However, they did not make good use of this power, and did not use this power reasonably. If they could mobilize this power to fight Jiannu, they could beat Jiannu until they were out. However, the Ming Dynasty now implemented a policy of banning the sea, and there was not even a navy, just a navy. The navy was still under the control of local troops, so there was naturally no room for development.

Today's banquet made them very happy and they were particularly happy. The next day, Liu Bu invited Zheng Zhibao and others to visit his military camp in the Zangbing Valley.

Now the Liu family army has only more than 1,000 people, and its military power is not very strong, but they are indeed servants and all army members, which is quite good. However, after this incident, they decided to expand their troops with all their might. Now Liu Zhongyong has already launched the second round of enrollment in the Tibetan Bing Valley. In this round, they recruited 1,000 people at one time, expanding their troops to 2,000 people.

Liu Bu led Zheng Zhibao and his daughter to watch the various facilities here in his Tibetan Bing Valley. Zheng Zhibao was very satisfied. He said, "I didn't expect that you are more courageous, and you actually created such a Tibetan Bing Valley here without saying a word. If the officials don't know, they would be shocked when they come here rashly."

Since he is his father-in-law and a military alliance, Liu Bu has nothing to hide. He said: "Now the world is in chaos. As long as you have soldiers in your hands, you don't have to worry about others bullying us. If you have soldiers in your hands, you have the power in your hands. Even if the magistrate comes in person, you have to listen to me when you get here."

Zheng Zhibao frowned slightly, and he was thinking, this kid was really unprofessed. His tail was raised when he praised him.

Although the Zheng family has great strength, these strengths are all at sea, mainly to develop sea, dominating the business and business at sea. On land, their strength may not be as strong as those of the Liu family. They still respect the local governments very much, and they gave a lot of gifts during the Chinese New Year and the holidays. Both parties maintained their relationship through this kind of etiquette, but they were definitely not at the point where the magistrates had to listen to them.

Liu Bu found out that his father-in-law disagreed, so he had to subdue him, Zhou Wentong, the magistrate of Jimo County, and told him about his younger brother.

After telling them about this, Zheng Zhibao was amazed: "I didn't expect that you are so capable, son-in-law."

Zheng Zining had always been a little arrogant. She also seemed to be a straw troupe at the Liu family's Zangbing Valley, but when she heard the way he controlled Zhou Wentong, she was indeed a little surprised. This means that they controlled the entire Jimo and had completely mastered the military and political collection here. This area can be almost included in the sphere of influence of their Liu family and can do whatever they want. If this part is really included, their Zheng family is far inferior to the Liu family in Nan'an.

Zheng Zining suddenly felt like he looked at him with admiration.

Liu Bu watched their troops training on the point-and-aligned platform. Their troops were trained strictly according to the Qi family's methods. The most important thing was discipline. He only saw them lined up neatly, in rows horizontally and vertically, very neatly and majestic. Each movement was neatly and consistent, giving people a strong sense of shock and strength.

Liu Bu liked to listen to the sound of these soldiers walking out in the neatly arranged queues. He felt that he was very safe in this step, as if there was a powerful force for him to use.

Zheng Zhibao was also a little surprised when he saw the Liu family army and the others training. It was this army that he showed a team spirit and collaboration ability that seemed to be stronger than the mainland division of the Zheng family.

The army pays attention to the strength of the group, and discipline is first of all. The soldiers of the Liu family may not be strong and strong, but their discipline is very strict. While they were training, it suddenly started to rain heavily in the sky. Liu Bu and his team were on the watchtower platform, which was not rained. However, the soldiers were soaked in the fallen chickens, but they were still meticulous, their movements did not change at all, and their formation completed the whole set of exercises without any chaotic movements.
