After listening to the content of the letter, Mr. Zhou Zhou lowered his head slightly, lost in thought, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the chair. Mr. Zhou basically knew the long list of names that Ye Fu read out just now, and even some
Several people are still his sworn brothers, such as Li Kuiqi, Baimao Lao and others. If he is talking about someone he is not familiar with, Zheng Zhilong must be one of them. After all, Fujian belongs to the people of Zhangzhou at present, and most of the heroes are from Zhangzhou, including Lao Zhou.
, and Zheng Zhilong, a Quanzhou native who doesn’t urinate profusely, has to go into the same pot.
Zheng Zhilong is one of the top pirates on the sea in Fujian. His strength is not inferior to Zhou Lao, but his reputation and financial resources are even better than him. However, Zhou Lao has always had a bad impression of him. There were rumors at sea that his name was Li Dan's adopted son, but in fact he was a good match.
Son, he got to the top by selling his butt. Secondly, when Li Dan died of illness, he took away his Taiwan property, which was a complete white-eyed wolf.
Zhou Lao worked hard for more than ten years before reaching his current status, while Zheng Zhilong relied on Li Dan's "help" during and after his death to rise smoothly. He climbed to the same height as him without experiencing any setbacks.
How could I not be jealous of Mr. Zhou Zhou? He secretly sneered at him for being an opportunist and a hypocrite. However, through a short letter, Mr. Zhou Zhou completely put aside his contempt for Zheng Zhilong. The heroes of the sea each dominated one side and were unruly.
, it is almost impossible to bring them together, but Zheng Zhilong did it, and became the leader of the alliance, his methods are incredible.
"Alliance leader, alliance leader... I was mistaken. Zheng Zhilong's courage, talent, ambition, and power are all comprehensive. They should not be underestimated!" Mr. Zhou Zhou couldn't help feeling filled with emotion. He raised his head again and said to Zheng Zhilong's subordinates: "I'll tell you about this matter."
Got it. This brother has come a long way to work hard. Let’s go down to eat and rest first, and I will give you a reply after discussing it with my subordinates.”
After Zheng Zhilong's men left, Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Junji is from Zhejiang and is quite unfamiliar with Fujian personnel and cannot speak freely. Ye Fu and others are also silent. Although Zheng Zhilong's letter only briefly mentions forming an alliance to attack Fujian, it contains a lot of information, and they still want to
Think about it carefully again.
Mrs. Zhou looked around with bright eyes, and when no one answered, she giggled and said: "Zheng Zhilong is really just silent, and he has become a blockbuster. Fifty or sixty years have passed since the Longqing switch, heroes have been dormant, and the Fujian Sea is quite peaceful. Zheng Zhilong
He actually tried to break the current situation, and regardless of whether he succeeded in the end, he must be the number one person on the sea. His ambition and calculation are so high that it is jaw-dropping."
Lao Lao Zhou, as smart as Zhou Lao, and wise as Li Junji, were stunned one after another after hearing the words, not to mention Ye Fu and others. While they were still thinking about trivial matters, Mrs. Zhou had already seen the deepest things and presented them in front of everyone in a few words.
.
Zhou Zhou’s eyebrows were almost broken and he asked: “Then shall we go?”
Mrs. Zhou nodded and replied: "It is approaching the fishing ban period and I am very free. It might as well go to Taiwan to join in the fun. Besides, although we are based in Dachen Mountain, our roots are still in Fujian. If we don't accept Zheng Zhilong's invitation, we are afraid that Fujian will
There will be no place for us and others in the future. The worst situation is that Zheng Zhilong holds a grudge and takes the opportunity to attack..." At this point, Mrs. Zhou shook her head.
Mr. Zhou looked solemn on Wednesday, and Mrs. Zhou made it very clear that the question now is not whether to go, but how much.
Mrs. Zhou added: "What I mean is that uncle brings more boats."
Zhou Zhoulao said with doubts on his face: "You want me to fight for power with Zheng Zhilong?"
Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said: "It's not a fight for power, but a fight for profit. Zheng Zhilong is by no means a reckless person. Since he has made great efforts to recruit heroes and peek into Fujian, he must have carefully considered it. I guess Zheng Zhilong has a good chance of winning this time.
The stronger the alliance is, the more benefits it will reap." Mrs. Zhou paused for a moment, then pointedly said: "Isn't it true that the uncle is worried about being unable to get rid of Huang Liu?"...
Zhou Lao was startled for a moment, then suddenly said: "Wonderful! Huang Liu, Hu Yin died in Fujian, I can't blame it, I can only blame their bad luck. Hahahaha..."
Zhou Lao made up his mind and discussed some details with everyone. After half an hour, he recalled Zheng Zhilong's subordinates and formally agreed to Zheng Zhilong's invitation. The day when the heroes will meet for alliance is set for the tenth day of February, which is still more than half a month away. Zhou Lao's plan is now in progress
At the end of the month, he took advantage of the tail end of the northeast monsoon to sail to Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong's subordinates successfully completed the task and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Zhou Lao asked Ye Fu to make a hard trip to Huangchen Village to inform the other party of his decision. Huang Chen,
Hu Yin had twenty large ships under his banner, the former fourteen and the latter six. Lao Zhou forced them to bring at least fifteen large ships.
Huang Chen stood in front of Wang Fengwu's grave with an oil umbrella. It was cloudy, winter rain, cold wind, and biting cold, but he endured the extremely harsh climate and stayed here for an hour. Hu Yin really couldn't bear the torture. He was not good.
He tried to persuade him bluntly, but he could only wink at Zhao Hongyi. Zhao Hongyi was also very cold, so he braced himself and said: "Shipowner, you are now the leader of the village. Thousands of people in the village depend on you for their livelihood. You must do it."
Take care of yourself. What if you fall ill and ask me to wait?"
Huang Chen looked back and saw everyone's faces were blue and their lips were purple, and their whole bodies were shaking. Only then did he realize that he seemed to be so focused on his own thoughts that he had forgotten the time, nodded and said, "Let's go back."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and finally no longer had to stay in this hellish place.
Back in the village, Huang Chen left everyone behind and went to the Wang family. The Queen Mother lost her husband in her early years and raised Wang Fengwu by washing clothes for others. You can imagine her sadness. Her son was everything to her. After Wang Fengwu died, she did not give up.
Then he died, lying in bed all day long without eating or drinking. When the king's wife tried to persuade him with food, she knocked him to the ground with her hands, and cursed her for trying to kill her husband and her son. The king's wife always shed tears when she spoke of her misery.
Huang Chen was the only person who could make her eat. He would go to Wang's house to feed her in the morning, noon and evening.
"Bang!"
Huang Chen heard the sound of breaking porcelain before he even approached the queen mother's bedroom, followed by curses and curses. Soon the queen's wife hid her face and ran out. Huang Chen sighed softly and asked: "Sister-in-law, why don't you wait for me to come and go by yourself?"
Deliver meals.”
The king's wife cried so hard that she sobbed: "Second uncle is a man who does important things, so he can't come to the house every day."
Huang Chen shook his head and said: "I have nothing to do recently. I will take care of her for a while. Over time, my adoptive mother will slowly get better." After speaking, he briefly comforted Wang's wife and asked her to prepare another meal, and then walked into the house.
When the Queen Mother found out that he was coming, her gloomy face softened. Huang Chen finally calmed her down with sweet words and persuasion. After eating and chatting, she fell asleep.
Huang Chen tucked in the quilt, got up and left. When he got home, he didn't have time to take a sip of hot tea. He had to repay Ye Fu for leaving and returning. Huang Chen frowned tightly. The other party must have something important despite the bad weather. After all, What is it?
Ye Fu was led in and saw Huang Chen sitting on a chair leisurely drinking hot tea. His already livid face became even more ugly. He was Zhou Zhou's confidant and had a mission. It would be rude not to greet him in person. , no matter how long you sit and watch him come in. Ye Fu smiled coldly in his heart and said: "Young kid, crazy king, you don't know whether to live or die, let's see how long you can be domineering."
Huang Chen invited Ye Fu to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Why did Mr. Ye come back this time? Did he forget something?"
"I came here on the order of the big leader." Ye Fu raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of teasing.
"Listen attentively." Huang Chen said calmly.
"Have you ever heard of Mr. Zheng Zhilong, an official?"
"Of course. What's wrong with Zheng Zhilong? What you want to say is related to him?" Huang Chen said with a slightly surprised expression. Not only did he know about Zheng Zhilong in this life, he also knew about it in his previous life. In his previous life, he was a fan of "Navigation" and once appeared in "Navigation". 》I have seen a famous post about "Chinese Pirate King" on the forum. In it, the Chinese Pirate King often sails hundreds or thousands of sailboats, overwhelming the Western Pirate Kings. Zheng Zhilong is the best Pirate King in China. Huang Chen remembers that he seems to have He couldn't remember whether he had a thousand warships or 10,000 merchant ships under his control. It was an astronomical number anyway. He was also the father of the national hero Zheng Chenggong.
Ye Fu smiled and said: "Zheng Zhilong posted a heroic message to gather heroes in Taiwan and plan to attack Ming Fujian. The big leader has accepted the invitation and will go to Taiwan in the near future. Of course, Mr. Huang will also go with him."
