Zheng Zhilong finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore and burst out completely.
"Rebellion, rebellion!" Zheng Zhibao also jumped up and down: "Ding Yunyi attacked the senior officials brazenly and did not take us seriously at all! Brother, you give an order now, and I will go to the senior officials and drive them out of the sea immediately!"
"Confused." Zheng Zhilong suppressed the impulse of approval in his heart: "Why do you go now? Ding Yunyi regained Taiwan in the name of the imperial court and Zou Weilian. If we attack now, do we want others to say that we are treason?"
Zheng Zhibao was unwilling to give in. He sat there angrily and kept mumbling.
"Yue Jian, what do you mean?" Zheng Zhilong calmed down.
Zheng Zhifeng rolled his eyes a few times: "I don't think Ding Yunyi is lying about his military exploits. Since Taiwan has fallen into his hands, it is impossible to take it back in a short period of time. I think the only way is to find a way elsewhere. Since Ding Yunyi left Penghu,
The troops in Penghu have always been poorly defended. The eldest brother ordered Lao Wu to lead the fleet and rush to Penghu at starry night. He only said that Ding Yunyi had made great achievements in regaining Taiwan and Penghu must be guarded, so he temporarily defended him. This is called Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou, and never repaying the loan.
Big brother, seize Ding Yunyi’s old camp and strangle Ding Yunyi’s throat. This can offset the impact of Taiwan’s loss to the greatest extent.”
Zheng Zhilong nodded: "What about Taiwan? What should we do?"
"Taiwan? It's not Ding Yunyi's Taiwan now." Zheng Zhifeng sneered: "Hongyi has long been established, but it is just a big man. Our Zheng family is equally powerful in Taiwan. Ding Yunyi lost Penghu, and he must be panicked and anxious.
I want to gain a foothold in Taiwan. In this case, Big Brother can mobilize all the forces in Taiwan and drive Ding Yunyi out! I heard that Guo Huaiyi, who led the officials and people to cause trouble, was originally Big Brother's subordinate? "
Zheng Zhilong's expression improved slightly: "Yes, although Guo Huaiyi stayed in Taiwan at the beginning, he was still loyal to me. Gradually, I don't feel comfortable leaving this matter to others. You go to Taiwan in person. Let them go everywhere.
If they start making trouble, I, the Zheng family, will back them up. No matter what, Ding Yunyi must not be allowed to stand still!"
"yes!"
"And you, Mang Er." Zheng Zhilong said in an urgent tone: "Don't miss this opportunity. You immediately select warships, go straight to Penghu, and capture Penghu for me! Once Ding Yunyi's old camp is lost, he will be as panicked as a lost dog! Once this man's heart is in chaos,
, things will be difficult to handle."
Zheng Zhibao responded and was about to get up when suddenly Zheng Sen beside him said: "Fifth uncle, wait a moment."
The Zheng brothers were stunned for a moment, then heard Zheng Sen say: "Father, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, Ding Yunyi is so cunning, he will not fail to be on guard against Penghu. What if the fifth uncle arrives and Penghu is heavily guarded? A battle.
It's okay to beat them down, but if there is a stalemate and people with ulterior motives fan the flames, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to my Zheng family."
The Zheng brothers were a little shocked. Is this what a ten-year-old child said?
"My Zheng family has an heir, my Zheng family has an heir." Zheng Zhilong murmured, and the previous unhappiness seemed to be wiped away: "Ming Yan, you must be the Qianliju of my Zheng family. This matter must be carefully considered.
.Mang Er, when you go to Penghu, be careful. If Penghu's defenses are lax, capture it in one fell swoop. If Penghu is really as heavily guarded as Mingyan said, don't do it recklessly. Everything must be approved by me. Mang Er, this matter concerns me.
The future of the Zheng family must not be impulsive."
Zheng Zhibao did not dare to be careless: "Brother, don't worry, Mang Er will never be reckless."
"Go, go." Zheng Zhilong waved his hand.
Zheng Zhilong was silent for a while, and then called Zheng Sen to his side: "Mingyan, I originally thought that you were still young and needed a few more years of experience, but now it seems that my father underestimates you. No matter how hard you live,
In two or three years, I can give you the important task. What do you think we should do about Ding Yunyi now?"
"Ding Yunyi is a shameless villain." Zheng Sen blurted out without hesitation: "He relied on his father to make a fortune, and now he betrays his father. This man is the sworn enemy of our Zheng family. Zheng Sen thought that, first, as his fourth uncle said
To contain him like that, he will not be able to develop even if he gets Taiwan. Once again, send an assassin to assassinate this person. The son knows that his father disdains such a thing, and the assassination will be difficult to succeed, but it can make it difficult for Ding Yunyi to sleep and eat! "
Zheng Zhilong nodded in approval, and then his face straightened: "Mingyan, although you are smart, you are still a child after all. If you can scare Ding Yunyi by doing this, you are too underestimated him, and he is not worthy of being my opponent.
"
He stood up and walked a few steps slowly: "I was a little too careless about Ding Yunyi. I gave him the maritime rights in the first place because I wanted to use him to help me make money. He has repeatedly pledged his loyalty to me, and I
He actually believed in him. Hey, this is a lesson. But I'm afraid it won't be that easy for him to defeat me. Let me ask you, what is the most important thing to strengthen yourself? "
"A powerful army." Zheng Sen replied.
"Wrong, wrong." Zheng Zhilong shook his head repeatedly: "I will give you ten thousand warships and one million soldiers, but there is one thing missing. These are just moons in the water and flowers in the mirror. The most important thing
, it’s silver! To recruit soldiers, you need silver; to arm warships, you need silver; if you want to stand in Taiwan, you also need silver!"
Zheng Sen's eyes lit up.
"Now that Ding Yunyi has just acquired Taiwan, he needs more money." Zheng Zhilong said calmly: "And how does Ding Yunyi get money? Maritime trade is his most important source, so I want to block his maritime trade path. I will order me
All the ships of the Zheng family have blocked the way out at sea. Those without my Zheng family's flag are not allowed to pass by. Once the maritime trade route is cut off, Ding Yunyi will not be able to maintain it even if he gives him hundreds of thousands of troops. Then he will still be afraid of him.
Aren’t you going to surrender Taiwan obediently?”
"Ding Yunyi also has a fleet." Zheng Sen hesitated and said: "What if he resists with force?"
Zheng Zhilong sneered: "To compete with force? How many ships does the Penghu Navy have? If he dispatches ten ships, I will dispatch twenty ships. If he dispatches a hundred ships, I will dispatch a thousand ships! In terms of maritime strength, he still has
Far from it! I will order that ships holding the flag of my Zheng family can pay a thousand taels less every year, but the prerequisite is that they are not allowed to do business with Ding Yunyi. When they see Penghu, all ships from Taiwan will be intercepted, and all ships will be intercepted.
All rewarded heavily!"
"Yes, father, I understand." Zheng Sen suddenly realized: "Anyone who resists my Zheng family, I will kill them with money."
Zheng Zhilong smiled and said: "It should be said that anyone who confronts my Zheng family will not end well."
At this moment, the war between Zheng Zhilong and Ding Yunyi has truly begun!
