The Japanese pirate issue no longer simply threatens the stability of the Ming Dynasty's maritime border, but concerns the stability of the entire maritime trade order of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty.

This is particularly obvious after the Holy Emperor issued an order to fully lift the maritime ban.

You should know that even if it is not counted as Fujian, the imperial court could earn more than five million taels of silver on the entire southeast coast with just a maritime tax.

This was calculated by the imperial court using conservative ten taxes.

If the court optimizes the tax rate in the future and obtains the actual tax rights in Fujian, it is not a problem to achieve a sea tax revenue of 10 million taels per year.

The court of imperial use of this ten million taels of silver can not only maintain huge military expenditures but also gain a balance, which is the best thing for the current Ming court.

But this beautiful situation may be destroyed by the ravage of Japanese pirates.

If maritime merchants are obsessed with smuggling, who will provide taxes to the court?

Therefore, Japanese pirates must be wiped out, and smuggling must be cracked down.

The great victory in Wild Boar Island can be seen as a clear statement from the court, which is expected to kill the bad habits of smuggling.

Zhang Kentang also fully realized Zheng Chenggong's ability through this victory.

At first, Zhang Kentang only thought that Zheng Chenggong was the young master who trusted Zheng Zhilong. But later he found out that he was wrong.

Zheng Chenggong was very tenacious and hardworking. If it weren't for the news that Zheng Zhilong had secretly communicated with the East Lie, Zhang Kentang even wanted to betroth his youngest daughter to Zheng Chenggong.

But later the situation changed suddenly, and even so, Zhang Kentang admired Zheng Chenggong very much.

Later, the Holy Emperor expressed his trust in Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong returned to the Denglai Naval Division.

But until this, Zhang Kentang still did not think that Zheng Chenggong was the kind of person who could make the army win by his own strength.

This is not because he is biased against Zheng Chenggong. It is because Zheng Chenggong is too young.

Of course, youth itself is not a disadvantage, but the price of youth is lack of experience.

This is not reflected very much in the battle of the wind, but it is often reflected in adversity.

However, Zheng Chenggong proved that Zhang Kentang was wrong, and it was a big mistake.

Zheng Chenggong showed a calmness that was completely inconsistent with his age during the entire process of attacking the Bison Island.

This is very valuable.

Look at Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and look at the young and famous generals in history, all of whom were calm and calm with a big heart.

Calmness is the most important quality of becoming a famous general.

Zheng Chenggong has it, so he has the possibility of becoming a famous general.

Perhaps it seems that Zheng Chenggong is still a little immature in some aspects, and there is still a gap with famous generals like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, but who can be sure of future events?

After all, Zheng Chenggong is still young, and there are endless possibilities when he is young.

No one can characterize Zheng Chenggong now. He may grow and become better at any time.

The famous generals themselves may not have the strongest combat power, and their military power may not have the highest value, but the famous generals can change the situation and lead the army to victory.

Zheng Chenggong is such a handsome talent, and Zhang Kentang is a little grateful that he has served under his command.

In the past, people will also mention that Zheng Chenggong was from Denglai Town when they mentioned him?

Then, he, the governor of Denglai, is Zheng Chenggong's well-deserved mentor?

Of course, the biggest mentor must be the Holy Emperor, and Zhang Kentang dare not fight for this. But in addition, Zheng Chenggong should also thank him Zhang Kentang, right?

As for other civil and military officials, they should be envious of him.

Alas, Zhang Kentang now thinks that Zheng Zhilong, the father-in-law, has dragged Zheng Chenggong down.

Otherwise, Zheng Chenggong's current situation would probably be better.

After all, even if Zheng Chenggong has the support of the emperor, there will still be rumors.

And rumors are the most hurtful and terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that the censors of this dynasty have the power to report the news.

They can completely create a false charge for their own reputation and then put it on your head without saying anything.

You have no temper at all.

Of course, this kind of person is disgusting, but you have no choice. You can't kill them all, right?

It seems that the emperor is right to let Zheng Chenggong stay away from Nanjing.

Stay away from the capital and stay away from right and wrong.

No matter how broken or poisonous the censors' mouths were, they could not affect Zheng Chenggong, thousands of miles away.

As long as Zheng Chenggong can grow and develop calmly without being influenced by the outside world, sooner or later, he can grow into a famous general like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Then let yourself be the one who protects his growth. Zhang Kentang said secretly

"Brother Sanshui, why does this Japanese ship look different from our ship? It's weird."

In Dengzhou Water City, a new recruit He Shitou asked while scratching his head.

Liu Sanshui smiled and said, "How could it be said it was a Japanese ship? If you want me to say that the Japanese pirates have a slim spirit from the bottom of their hearts. This slim spirit cannot be changed. Look, this Japanese ship known as the largest is just as big as our small lucky ship. If you talk about water, it may not be as large as the small lucky ship."

He paused for a moment and then continued: "But the Japanese ships also have the benefits of Japanese ships."

He Shitou was stunned and asked repeatedly: "What's the benefit?"

Liu Sanshui coughed and said, "The advantage is that we don't need to build this ship. If the Japanese pirates build it, they will give it to us. We will use it."

"puff!"

He Shitou couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, Brother Sanshui, are you going to laugh at me to death?"

Liu Sanshui spread his hands and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

"Yes, you're right."

He Shitou held back his smile and said, "So let's say that our victory in Bison Island is really good. We'll just grab a hundred ships at a bare boat."

"Don't say robbing, it's a seizure. Do you understand the seizure?"

Before He Shitou finished speaking, Liu Sanshui interrupted: "We are naval officers and soldiers, regular troops. How can we say rob the ships of Japanese pirates after they seized?"

He Shitou suddenly realized and said repeatedly: "Oh, I was wrong."

Liu Sanshui stepped forward and patted He Shitou on the shoulder and said, "You kid is a good time. When I first joined the army, the Ming Dynasty could not bring in a hundred such large ships except Fujian. His Majesty the Emperor was furious and ordered the Longjiang Shipyard to speed up the construction, and all the costs required were allocated from the treasury."

"But I heard that the money in the treasury is all the private money of His Majesty the Emperor. How could he bear it?"

"What's wrong with private money? Today, Zi Shengming doesn't care about distinguishing these things. If you want to strengthen your country, you must strengthen your army. What if the Tartars learn from the Japanese pirates to attack from the sea? Besides, do you think those civil servants are good-for-nothing? If you want to allocate money from the treasury, they have to kill the advice, saying that you are a waste of money and hurt the people."
