Zheng Zhihu did not embarrass Zhuang Mo and allowed him to retreat. He put his hands behind his hands and said to Huang Chen: "Brother Huang's name has been spread among the heroes in the past few days. To be able to make Master Zhou "highly respected" must be something special..."
"..." Huang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, saying that he admired him so much and hated him so much that he hated him to the core.
Zheng Zhihu looked at Ruan Jin, who was slowly getting up, and then at Zhuang Mo, who was expressionless. He laughed and shook his head and said: "Brother Huang, you are a handsome young man. We don't care about you. I don't want to underestimate you in the end. You can tell after a glimpse.
Quan Bao, the talent under Brother Huang’s command is truly astonishing.”
Huang Chen didn't know when he put away the revolver pistol, and said with a wry smile: "Master Zheng Er has been rewarded. To be honest, he is the only one under my command who can handle it."
Zheng Zhihu was noncommittal, not to mention whether what Huang Chen said was true. The mere presence of Zhuang Mo and Ruan Jin was astonishing enough. People with such superb martial arts skills generally would not be willing to be inferior to others. With the power of his brother Zheng Zhilong,
Qiang's subordinates are hard to find, they can be counted on one hand.
Li Meiyu's men peeped at both sides with sly eyebrows, fearing to be noticed, and walked to Zheng Zhihu's side. They immediately straightened their waists and no longer looked wretched. They complained to Zheng Zhihu: "Zheng Er is in charge, they were the ones who made the first move."
He hurt someone and used a knife. One of my brothers was stabbed twice and his life and death are still unknown. As the head of the family, Zheng Er, you must make the decision for us!"
Zheng Zhihu said calmly: "I have no right to decide this matter. You follow me to see the leaders." After saying that, he nodded slightly to Huang Chen, turned around and walked in front to lead the way. When Li Meiyu's men met Huang Chen's calm gaze, they suddenly felt shaking all over.
Han, took a few strides to catch up with Zheng Zhihu, staying close to his left and right sides.
"Big boss..." Zhao Hongyi looked worried. It's hard to guess the attitude of others, but Lao Zhou will definitely interfere with it.
"Don't worry, we are being reasonable, what can Lao Zhou do to me?" Huang Chen told a few people to stay and wait, and followed Zheng Zhihu into the hall unhurriedly.
Compared to the hundreds of heroes outside, there were not many people in the house, only more than 30 or less than 40. Among them, some were tall and some were short, some were fat and some were thin, some were handsome and some were ugly, and their clothes were all kinds of. The only one
What they all have in common is that they all carry aura, which is the aura that can only be developed by those who have experienced wind and waves and have been on top of others for a long time.
Zheng Zhilong, sitting in the main seat with a python and dragon body, is in a calm and composed manner. Li Zhiqi is in the first place on the left, followed by Guo Zhikui, Guo Zhilan, Fang Zhiji, Chizhige, Sa Zhima and other members of the Eighteen Zhi. Wednesday
The old man is on the right, followed by Liu Sanlao, Zhong Bin, Chen Zhongji, Chen Shengyu, Li Meiyu, Baimao Lao and other maritime heroes.
Everyone looked at Huang Chen and glanced at Mr. Zhou from time to time. Their eyes were full of curiosity. Being famous is not as good as meeting him. Huang Chen didn't have anything special. Except that he was taller and more handsome, he was no different from an ordinary young man. How could he be so powerful?
Across Fujian and Zhejiang, the ruthless Zhou Lao contends?
Huang Chen walked quietly among the heroes, walked up to Zheng Zhilong, cupped his fists and said, "I've seen Master Zheng."
Zheng Zhilong had heard about the outside world from his brother Zheng Zhihu, including the information about Ruan Jin and Zhuang Mo. He was greatly shocked. Huang Chen had such an ability to control people at such a young age. It was simply contrary to common sense and terrifying.
, their attention to him has been rising, and he is on par with other heroes. Zheng Zhilong asked: "Today is a happy day for our alliance, why did the Huang brothers fight?"
Huang Chen looked calm and unhurriedly told the whole story: when he arrived, he was first provoked by the other party, and when he revealed his place of origin, he was scorned. In the end, the other party even pushed it further and directly scolded his mother, which was intolerable.
Originally, the two sides only fought with fists and kicks, but the other side took the lead in breaking the rules with a knife, which escalated the conflict and led to bloodshed. Huang Chen had enough reason for this matter, so he did not conceal or exaggerate at all. His words were straight and persuasive. Even Zhou Lao and Li
Mei Yu unconsciously abandoned her prejudices and believed what he said...
Zheng Zhilong knew what he was doing and asked Li Meiyu's subordinates: "What do you have to say?"
Li Meiyu's men were conflicted in their hearts. He wanted to bite Huang Chen back, but there were many onlookers who witnessed the whole process. If he lied, he would most likely be exposed. When Zheng Zhilong was blamed, the leader Li Meiyu would not be able to save his life.
Zheng Zhilong saw that he didn't speak for a long time and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Why don't you answer?"
Li Meiyu's subordinate stammered: "What he said may be true or false..."
Zheng Zhilong asked: "Where is the truth and where is the lie?"
"..."
Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly, looked at Mr. Zhou, and Li Meiyu said: "Brother Zhou, Brother Li, they are your subordinates. I want to hear your opinions."
"Master Zheng makes up his mind, I have no objection." Li Meiyu said with a stern face.
Zhou Zhou said neither yin nor yang: "I don't have any objection either."
The reaction of the two people was expected by Zheng Zhilong. He nodded and said: "The two sides are just fighting for their wills. In my opinion, there is no need to go into it further. How about we stop here?" Zheng Zhilong is about to become the leader of the Pirate Alliance, so his suggestion naturally has no one.
Huang Chen objected. Although Huang Chen was justified in this matter, after all, one of the other party was seriously injured. Zheng Zhilong asked him to pay for some decoction and medicine to compensate the injured, and Huang Chen happily agreed. Zheng Zhilong continued: "Today's imperial court is ignorant and ignorant, and the officials are forcing the people.
The people have to rebel. We gather in Beigang today for no other reason than to imitate the heroes of Liangshan in the past and fight for a bright future. I am only a few years older than brother Huang. I can tell you that beating your own people is not considered a skill.
, Only those who kill officers and soldiers are called heroes, what do you think, Brother Huang?"
Huang Chen clasped his fists and said solemnly: "This is what Master Zheng taught me."
Zheng Zhilong smiled and asked Zhou Zhou: "Brother Zhou, you have young talents like Brother Huang under your command. Why do you keep hiding them and refusing to show them to others? Is it because you are afraid of prying eyes like us?"
Lao Gan said with a smile on Wednesday: "Although he has some abilities, he is still young and ignorant and cannot be on the stage for the time being."
Zheng Zhilong laughed and said: "Brother Zhou's words are wrong. As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new generation is better than the old ones. Brother Huang is young and promising, how can he be treated as an ordinary boy?" Then he said to Huang Chen: "Brother Huang is strong and powerful.
You are qualified to take a seat. Once you have come in, don't go out." After saying this, Zheng Zhilong asked the servant to bring a chair to Huang Chen. Old Zhou's expression changed drastically, and all the heroes looked at each other.
"Master Zheng, this..."
Zheng Zhilong waved his hand to interrupt Huang Chen's words and said, "Brother Huang, just take a seat."
Huang Chen was not a pretentious person. He cupped his fists and saluted, walked to the last seat and sat down. Sitting next to him was Mr. Zhou Zhou, Li Zhiqi's sworn brother, Mr. Baimao. As the name suggests, he had a bunch of white hair the size of a copper coin on his left temple. What a coincidence.
Huang Chen had a friend in his previous life who was similar to him, except that his white hair grew on the right side. Directly opposite him was a Kuntou Japanese, who was the Japanese leader under Zheng Zhilong and the only foreigner among the Eighteen Zhi, Sa Zima.
Because he was defeated miserably at the hands of Hikojiro, he had resentment towards the Yan brothers. The two were obviously not people who could communicate, so Huang Chen turned his attention to Zheng Zhilong and listened to his conversation with everyone.
Soon, when the auspicious time came, Zheng Zhilong led all the heroes out of the hall, stood in front of the incense table, pricked his finger with a dagger, and dripped blood into the wine. The leaders followed suit one after another, and Huang Chen was no exception. Zheng Zhilong picked up the blood wine and shouted loudly.
He said: "We are gathered together today to discuss the great plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty. For the public, we can be said to be doing justice for heaven, but for private purposes, we can rob wealth and enrich ourselves."
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this.
Zheng Zhilong also smiled and continued: "Now the treacherous ministers are in control of the government, the people are hungry and cold, and the officers and soldiers are extremely incompetent. This is a God-given opportunity. If we can't afford it now, when will we wait? As long as we work together, we will definitely achieve something great.
.Come on, do it!”
"Dry!"
"Dry……"
Zheng Zhilong drank the blood wine and said some inspiring words, then returned to the lobby to discuss the specific matters of the expedition with everyone. In fact, he said, everyone listen. He decided to attack eight days later, that is, on February 18th.
During this period, Beigang was completely closed, and not even a small boat could be released to avoid leaking the news.
As for his target, he did not choose Penghu, which is between the Ming Dynasty and Taiwan. First of all, Penghu was isolated overseas and was of no concern to the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, Penghu was the place where the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands fought in the past. There were many red barbarian forts built on the island. It was not an easy task to capture it.
It's easy. If they can't conquer it for a long time, hundreds of Ming warships will be waiting for them.
Zheng Zhilong's ultimate goal is the Ming Dynasty's only outlet to the sea - Yuegang. In order to obtain Yuegang, he must completely defeat the officers and soldiers of the Zhang, Quan and Quan Prefectures. He has little chance of winning if he goes straight to Zhongzuo and fights head-on. Even if he wins, his vitality will be severely damaged.
It was difficult to resist the reinforcements from Fuzhou Prefecture of Fujian Province. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong planned to bypass Penghu and attack Tongshan Institute. Tongshan Institute is located southwest of Yuegang and is located on Chuanling, the second largest island in Fujian. Its geographical location is extremely important and is far away from Guangdong.
Not far away, occupy Tongshan. If you advance, you can attack Yuegang, and if you retreat, you can enter Guangdong. You will be in an invincible position.
Everyone expressed their understanding one after another, and they couldn't tell whether they really understood or pretended to understand.
