Sure enough... As early as the way to Holo Island, Liu Hongjian always felt that something must have happened within the Zheng family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Spaniards could always find the Zheng family's weak defense, and why they attacked for three consecutive days, as if they had learned about the Zheng family's gunpowder in advance.

"I understand, this person will die." Liu Hongjian wrote down the name of this person.

He hated traitors the most in his life. Those who raise these bitches will kill each other, and there is no room for negotiation.

"If the negotiation goes well, I plan to report to the court for my brother to form the Nanyang Navy after I go back." Liu Hongjian said while walking back.

"Brother is well aware of the benefits of coastal defense. It is so lucky to have a eldest brother in the court." Zheng Sen's words were not a compliment, but a heartfelt word.

There were tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and several of them were more familiar with marine trade than the Zheng family, and Liu Hongjian was one of them, and from many perspectives, Zheng Sen's eyes lit up.

If you want to earn money in the ocean, the strength of the navy is the top priority. Without a powerful fleet, everything is false, Zheng Sen even this.

"Haha, it's not just me who knows the maritime affairs. I'm just memorizing the court for me. I want to recommend you to be the admiral of the Nanyang Navy." Liu Hongjian chuckled.

"Brother, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, new responsibilities of the Zheng family. Zheng Sen was shocked when he heard this, shook his head and refused.

"Damu doesn't need to refuse. You don't know that the court today is no longer what you think of. Although Your Majesty is four or five years younger than you and me.

But his knowledge of maritime affairs is no longer comparable to corrupt scholars in the court. As for his trustworthiness, his Majesty will agree with his brother." Liu Hongjian said again.

Whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, it is better to say that they can open their eyes to the world than to say that they have seen the great profits of the ocean.

To put it bluntly, the two poorest emperors in the Ming Dynasty were wealth-lovers.

Especially since Zhu Cixuan learned that the income of tariffs exceeded the sum of all other fiscal revenues in just half a year, everything was approved and approved whenever there was maritime affairs.

As for the cabinet? Haha, Zhu Cixuan has now learned to return to his original position in the cabinet.

The so-called Grand Secretary is the consultant of the emperor. What is the consultant? It means that when the emperor has something that he does not understand, or any emotional problem, no, it is a government matter, you can consult it.

As for making decisions and making decrees, the emperor has the final say.

The two of them now cooperate with each other, and the outside and the inside are the compass of the Ming Dynasty.

"This...Brother, I'm still too young. There are so many experienced veterans in the Ming Dynasty, I..."

"I'm just a few months younger than you. What's my mother-in-law's refusal? That's it!" Liu Hongjian said unhappily when he saw that Zheng Sen was still worried.

Liu Hongjian has been considering the matter of the Nanyang Navy. Since he took back Taiwan and left Qin Zuoming to build a large port in Taiwan, it was for the Nanyang Navy.

There is no need to say much about Taiwan’s military position. As long as the Nanyang Navy is formed, it can lead to the Nanyang to the north, such as the Ming Dynasty and Japan’s throat, complementing the Beiyang Navy, one in the south and one in the north, protecting the Ming Dynasty’s coastal defense security.

As for Zheng Sen's ability, there is no need to say more. Liu Hongjian is one hundred and relieved.

Sending brothers to Taiwan can be considered a fulfillment of Zheng Sen. After all, if we follow the evaluation of later generations, Zheng Sen was almost born for Taiwan, which is his destiny.

It was already late at night after the two returned to the barracks. There were stars in the sky. Except for the soldiers on duty, only Qi Yuangong's tent was still on. There was no doubt that the hardest part of the Beiyang Navy was Deputy Admiral Qi Yuangong.

And Liu Hongjian, who is the best at being a shopkeeper, must be the one who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no need to worry about a fleet coming to attack at night. In fact, the warships at this time were unable to deal with the night battle at all. Most generals and officials drank a lot of wine, and there were snoring sounds everywhere in the barracks.

It's really a snoring sound, two or three rainy days in front of the mountain, and next to the military camp on Holo Island.

Zheng Sen came to see Liu Hongjian at noon the next day. As Liu Hongjian expected, Zheng Sen persuaded the soldiers of the Zheng family, and they all agreed to leave this place covered with the blood of the Zheng family.

Although I don’t know what Zheng Sen said to these people, this is a good start.

Without Zheng Sen's help, as an outsider, he might be able to suppress the Zheng family soldiers by relying on his identity, but he could not convince the rest of the Han people on the island.

There are only more than 24,000 soldiers left by the Zheng family on Holo Island, and more than 40,000 Han citizens, totaling 60,000. This is not the case with Han people left behind on other islands that have been taken away by the Franchise people.

If it were only for the Beiyang Navy's ability to transport troops, it would not be enough to transport so many people back at once.

But the Zheng family's warships are different, although nearly half of the Zheng family's warships either sank with Lao Zheng or were confiscated during the Battle of Dongning.

And the losses are all the most exquisite warships of the Zheng family.

But the numbers Zheng Sen reported to Liu Hongjian really made Liu Hongjian eat a big whale.

"The Zheng family now has more than 1,800 ships of various types. If some of the equipment on the ship are removed and transported to the fullest, it will not be a problem to transport 100,000 people." Zheng Sen was very clear about his family's industry.

“Are there so many?”

Liu Hongjian really wanted to shout at this time.

"Well, a considerable number of ships are merchant ships carrying cargo, with only more than 600 warships, and most of them are small warships." Zheng Sen told the truth.

When the Zheng family was at its peak, it once owned all kinds of warships and more than 3,000 merchant ships, but now it is no longer the same as before.

Liu Hongjian calculated again that the Beiyang Navy was sure that warships could not be used to transport people. The Beiyang Navy must protect the safety of the troop transport ships, but those dozens of troop transport ships could be used.

After discussing the withdrawal, the two sides of Franji finally agreed to the peace talks.

Liu Hongjian was not surprised at all because he raised a question that the two countries could not refuse.

However, the two countries did not believe Liu Hongjian's verbal promise, but agreed that tomorrow morning, each of the three countries would send people to Xisang Island to sign the contract.

Liu Hongjian smiled but said nothing about this. If the contract can be counted, there will be so many times in World War I and World War II that there will be so many times to tear the contract and fight directly.

Xisang Island is located in Holo Island where the Beiyang Navy is located, Sibu Island where the Great Franchise Fleet is located, and Taway Island where the Small Franchise is located. The three parties agreed that they can only take small merchant ships to negotiate, and that firearms are not allowed, otherwise the negotiations will be cancelled immediately.

At the critical moment, Qi Yuangong and other Beiyang Navy generals did not object much. After all, Liu Hongjian's ability had already spread throughout the Beiyang Navy through He Bin's mouth.

However, when Zheng Sen heard that his brother was going to negotiate with Franchise, he still only took one boat and immediately expressed his objection. Later, Liu Hongjian pulled Zheng Sen to show off before he gave up.

The next morning, Liu Hongjian ordered thirty guards and rushed to Xisang Island on a reinforced armed merchant ship arranged by Zheng Sen.
