What is the most difficult thing in this world? It is naturally to gain the trust of the emperor. Novels. The emperor is in the clouds, so his ideas are naturally not something that ordinary people can guess.

Although Jian only has four words in Emperor's heart, the mystery contained in it is extremely rich.

Zhang Kentang has been struggling in the officialdom for most of his life and naturally understands the truth.

A minister who can be a minister who is in the heart of the emperor is not the most powerful minister, but at least he is the one who is a loyal minister.

Zhang Kentang felt that his opportunity had come.

At this time, we naturally have to roll up our sleeves and do it well, and we must not let His Majesty down.

As for the Dengzhou magistrate Yuan Weitai, his mood is actually similar to that of Zhang Kentang.

If the governor is valued by the emperor, he is valued by the governor. Isn’t it equivalent to being valued by the emperor?

Although there is a relationship between them, the meaning is roughly the same.

As for the emperor's words that Jianba should take care of Zheng Chenggong in the imperial edict, it is naturally easy to understand.

Zheng Chenggong is Zheng Zhilong's son and a student of the Imperial Ming Military Academy, so the emperor naturally has to deliberately win over it.

What is even more commendable is that Zheng Chenggong really has something to do.

Wasn't he the idea of ​​searching the sea to attack the pirates' nest?

It is already great for young people to do this, and they cannot ask too much for them.

"Mr. Fuyuan, the official thought we should start searching the sea immediately and destroy one or two pirates!"

If I didn't have to hurry up so hard before, I have to act immediately now.

This imperial decree is both a spur and a requirement. As a minister, you should act immediately to share your worries with the emperor.

Zhang Kentang nodded slightly and said, "I am just thinking about it. So I will go down and start searching the sea. Remember to let Zheng Chenggong go together."

"The lower official obeys the order."

Yuan Weitai said resolutely with his fists in his hands

Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the lucky boat and let the sea breeze blow by his cheeks, feeling like he was a different life.

When his father took him back to Fujian from Japan, he took a lucky boat and sailed thousands of miles and finally arrived in Quanzhou.

At that time, he was just a powerful child who knew nothing.

In just a few years, he became a disciple of the emperor and a useful person who could make achievements for the Ming Dynasty.

This change is really big.

As long as he wants to be Zheng Chenggong's background, he can live his life comfortably under the shade of his father. But he thinks that such a life is meaningless. A real man must make achievements with his own hands.

I don’t know when Zhang Huangyan came behind him: “Ming Yan, do you have any worries?”

Zheng Chenggong turned his head and smiled slightly: "That's not, he just remembered some past events. Why, Brother Xuanzhu looks in a good mood."

"Ahem, I'm really excited to be able to sail on the sea. Seeing this vast ocean, boundless, makes people feel better."

After a moment of pause, Zhang Huangyan continued: "But can we really find the pirates' nests when we search the sea like this?"

This time, there were more than 30 naval warships sent by the governor to search the sea, accounting for almost one-third of the total number of ships in the Denglai Navy. However, these thirty ships seemed very small when they were scattered into the vast sea.

This is probably what the so-called drop in the ocean means.

Moreover, the navy officers and soldiers are mainly composed of the Shence Army. These officers and soldiers have no problems with their combat effectiveness and fighting will, but they are not very familiar with the nearby waters, which is also a hidden danger.

Zheng Chenggong said without any worries: "Don't worry, Brother Xuan, I have experience in this regard."

Zheng Chenggong said this naturally not a boast. In fact, Shanghai bandits generally have rules to follow when choosing islands as their nests.

First of all, this island must have a bay suitable for mooring, and this bay must also shelter from the wind.

Moreover, it is best to have less sand and more fresh water on the island.

There are not many islands that need to meet these conditions at the same time, and you can always find them in the past when searching for them.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Boat, there is a boat in front of you!"

Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan looked in that direction at the same time and saw a large ship in the style of a wide ship.

This ship is not far from the boat where Zheng Chenggong is located, and it will take only a moment to catch up.

However, Zheng Chenggong is not the chief officer after all, so he has to ask the Governor Zhang Kentang's opinion.

At this moment, Zhang Kentang was drinking tea with the prefect Yuan Weitai in the cabin.

The cabin is very exquisitely arranged, and it has everything you need to do, even making people feel that it is on the boat.

The two were chatting and laughing, and Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan rushed in in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Kentang frowned slightly. Zheng Chenggong is already very outstanding among young people, but he still has frigid shortcomings. It seems that he will have to train and polish him more in the future.

"Zheng Xiansheng, you see your rush, but is there something important?"

Zhang Kentang said while stroking his beard.

"I reported to Fuyuan, and the students found a wide ship in front of me. I came to ask the Fuyuan whether to pursue him."

"oh?"

Zhang Kentang's eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, I discovered something just now when I started searching the sea.

"Of course we have to pursue it! No matter whether he is a Shang or a thief, we will catch up first!"

Zhang Kentang is eager to make contributions at this moment, so he naturally refuses to miss any opportunity to make contributions.

The ship he desperately hoped to discover was full of pirates.

The navy formation on the sea was looking at the flag language. After the Governor Zhang Kentang gave the order, the ship first played the flag language, and the other navy ships changed directions and followed suit when they saw this.

Of course, it is impossible for a huge naval formation to change its direction in an instant. It took a long time for the Navy Denley to complete the steering of all ships.

The Guangzhou ship was obviously aware of the danger and began to escape desperately.

This action aroused Zheng Chenggong's alertness.

If you are an ordinary merchant ship, why do you run away when you see the navy?

Zheng Chenggong ordered a sailing full sail and chased the fleeing Guangbo as fast as possible.

As the distance between the two sides became closer, the people on the Guang ship knew that they could not get rid of the warship of the Denglai Navy Division, so they took the initiative to attack.

The Guangzhou ship turned half of its body, and more than a dozen cannons were ignited one after another.

This distance is within the range of the artillery, and some of them are whistling directly into the sea, while others are on the starboard side of the boat.

"Switch the rudder, turn the rudder quickly!"

Zheng Chenggong roared desperately.

They are at a disadvantage at this angle. If they have a few lead bullets at the middle and upper level, they may lose their ability to pursue.

If you are hit by a vital point, you may even sink directly by boat.

At this moment, Yuan Weitai and Zhang Kentang on the deck didn't say a word, and quietly watched Zheng Chenggong command and dispatch.
