1220 Just one word

Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the flagship ship, looking at the scene on the dock, with a hint of pride hanging on the corner of his mouth. The scene he arranged casually seemed to be very good!

The mastery of human nature, how to use it to stimulate people's hearts and arouse greed from others, is indeed just a pediatric matter for Zheng Zhilong, so don't be too good at it. Otherwise, Li Kuiqi's strength was much stronger than him when he was fighting for hegemony in the South China Sea. In the end, he used the greed of the human heart to force Li Kuiqi to dig up Li Kuiqi's subordinates, differentiate his strength, and defeated Li Kuiqi in one fell swoop in the decisive battle. If the emperor had not used Li Kuiqi and changed Li Zhiqi's name, he would probably have disappeared now.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was just observing the situation at the dock. To make this matter a longer topic of discussion and spread more widely, such onlookers are not enough at present.

After thinking about this for a while, he had an idea in his mind and asked Liu Jinsheng: "I decided to disclose the points at the dock. What do you think?"

"It's up to you!" Liu Jinsheng sneered indifferently when he heard this, "I don't know how to be greedy!"

He, Liu Jinsheng, stayed by Zheng Zhilong just to monitor him. If he was caught by him, he would not be ruthless and would report to the emperor immediately to avenge his revenge.

Of course, he didn’t know whether there were other Jinyiwei like him around Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong didn’t know. Therefore, no one dared to do the wrong thing!

Zheng Zhilong was not surprised by Liu Jinsheng's attitude. Seeing his reaction at this time, he knew that Liu Jinsheng had not reacted. He was too lazy to explain, so he ordered to open all the boxes directly at the dock to count points and promote the intention on the surface.

If you really need to point out these silver dollars clearly, there is actually another way, which is to weigh them. However, Zheng Zhilong insisted on dismantling all the silver dollars. This method is undoubtedly to implement the emperor's will in another way.

As for the money and money being revealed, I don’t worry that those onlookers will rob them. You know, there are soldiers on the dock, and no one dares to rob them, the dock will never be able to get out.

So, not long after, an officer stepped forward and announced loudly: "The General has an order. Now all the silver dollars seized this time are worth all the points. No one is allowed to greed for a piece of silver dollars!"

Then, amid the surprise of the onlookers, a soldier came forward, opened the box, and poured the silver dollars into the open space. One box, another, the sound of the silver dollars hitting the Manila port and also in the hearts of every onlooker.

In a short while, a silver mountain was so bright that it could not even open its eyes when it shone under the sun. The crowd of onlookers was already suffocating, and only the heavy breathing sounded one after another, playing another kind of music in this port!

I don’t know how long I was quiet, but suddenly I heard a sound coming from behind, with a little hurry and a little anxious.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the King of Yi is here!"

King Yi is here? When everyone heard this, they turned around and looked. It was King Yi's carriage, and they came in a hurry.

It seems that if you don’t avoid it, you may bump into it.

So, regardless of whether these onlookers were willing or not, they made a way out and greeted King Yi at the same time.

On the bow of the flagship ship, Zheng Zhilong had already seen the carriage of King Yi coming here in a hurry. Needless to ask, I thought with my toes, and everyone knew that King Yi came to the dock in such a hurry, and most of the time came from this pile of silver mountains.

Sure enough, King Yi's car arrived in a hurry and stopped abruptly when he reached the edge of the Silver Mountain. As soon as the car stopped, King Yi got out of the car and stood on the shaft. His eyes were attracted by the silver dollars piled up like a mountain.

Well, another pair of eyes is blinded!

After a while, King Yi came to his senses, his face was full of greed and excitement, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the vassal kings, and immediately jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the side of the "Silver Mountain", and then asked in a quick tone: "These silver dollars were sent to Luzon by the Spanish, right?"

Before the officer at the scene answered, he said quickly: "Now Gu is the master of Luzon, so these silver dollars are lonely, right?"

The officer was speechless and thought to himself, although you are a vassal king, you should have some shame, so he actually said that these silver dollars are yours!

However, on the surface, of course, he would not answer like this, but just replied in an official manner: "Your Highness, this matter is not something that the officials can do, but the officials are just ordering to count the silver dollars!"

The soldiers on this dock belong to the Southeast Navy of the Ming Dynasty, under Zheng Zhilong, not from Yiguo. In fact, the army of Yiguo is still pitifully few and can only protect the palace. As for the others, the Ming army is responsible for guarding. Therefore, after the officer answered, he continued to perform his duties and shouted loudly, asking his subordinates not to count the wrong numbers and not to steal them, otherwise the military law would be carried out.

King Yi also knew that this small official could not make the decision. If it was possible, he was about to ask, and he just hugged the money and ran away without asking.

Although he was a vassal king, the money accumulated over generations was basically used after he became a vassal. Now that he attracted local merchants from the Ming Dynasty to trade, it was extremely lacking in silver. Now that there are so many silver piled in front of him, it would be strange if he is not jealous!

"Go, help Gu invite Marshal Zheng!" King Yi stared at the shiny silver mountain without looking back, and shouted loudly to his subordinates.

Before his men could answer, they heard a pleasant voice sounding beside him: "No need to ask, Mo Jiang has come. Mo Jiang has seen His Highness Yi!"

Nominally, after all, the vassal king was great, so Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to come and greet him.

When King Yi heard Zheng Zhilong's voice, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly looked up and saw Zheng Zhilong, he came to him and bowed to him with his fists.

"No gifts, no gifts!" When King Yi saw this, the smile on his face could not be covered, and he said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Marshal Zheng!"

Seeing this, everyone knew it. King Yi came here to grab the money. I don’t know how much he could grab it? This is really a pie from the sky. I really woke up from laughing in my dreams!

If we say that all the money is Guiyi King, they would not believe it no matter what. But what they were curious about was that the capital of Yi King was here, and I wonder how much money would be taken away?

When they were thinking this, they heard King Yi’s idea of ​​making these silvers: “Since these silver dollars were sent to Luzon by the Spanish. Now they are the king of Luzon, then these silver dollars are the ones. What do Marshal Zheng think?”

He actually knew that it was unrealistic to come and take all the money for himself. But he also thought about it and asked for a price all over the place, and then paid the money on the spot. If this happens, he can get more silver dollars!

Unexpectedly, before Zheng Zhilong had time to speak, Liu Jinsheng beside him had already spoken coldly: "This matter has been reported to the emperor. The emperor has an order, and he will escort all the silver dollars to the Fuzhou Governor's Office!"

When he heard this, King Yi's smile suddenly froze on his face. He cursed in his heart, why did he do so quickly? Why do you want to flatter the emperor so much? You are so interested in flattering the emperor. Just a little bit of a thing, why do you want to be reincarnated? You actually reported it so quickly. Is it interesting?

At this moment, he suddenly hated this chat group very much. If it weren't for the chat group, the emperor far away in the capital would never have known about this. Even if he couldn't get everything, he would probably be able to get some after discussing with Zheng Zhilong. This damn chat group is really damn!

Although he was scolding in his heart, he didn't dare to ask Emperor Chongzhen for money in the chat group. If the emperor was unhappy, he would be sad if he said anything casually! However, he had no share in his own money. King Yi felt that he was very sad!

Zheng Zhilong seemed to guess what he was thinking, and smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is the capture of the last general, and it will naturally belong to the court. However, after the last general is withdrawn in the future, if the Spaniards send silver dollars to the door, it will naturally belong to the captivity of the Your Highness!"

When King Yi heard this, he immediately opened his mouth. There was still such a saying: "Is he stupid?" When Yiguo has the power to protect himself in the future, the imperial army will withdraw, and I don't know which year of the monkey and horses are going to happen. At that time, how could the Spaniards still send silver dollars here!

Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little excited and immediately replied to Zheng Zhilong: "Marrior Zheng is really good at joking. How could the Spaniards even send money!"

What he meant was that the Spaniards would definitely find that something went wrong with Luzon in the future, so it would be impossible for them to send money.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't know whether it was a real misunderstanding or a fake misunderstanding, so he replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will hear that there are real gold and silver mountains in Mexico. Otherwise, in the past, how could these Spaniards ship silver dollars to Luzon every year?"

When he said this, he said, "There are real gold and silver mountains in Mexico." He bit it very clearly and said it more seriously. At the same time, he glanced around and found that many people's eyes were particularly bright at this moment.

When King Yi heard this, he sighed in his heart. No matter how many gold and silver mountains there are in Mexico, what does it have to do with him? Thinking of this, he reluctantly glanced at the hills piled up with silver dollars, and finally forgot to be polite, turned around a little silently, got in the car and drove back to the palace.

So what if there is more money? Is that the emperor's or it's better to be clean if you don't see it!

As King Yi left, the onlookers began to whisper again. Some talked about King Yi, and some talked about Mexico.

For the Ming people who were originally in Luzon, I have heard of some things about Mexico. And there is another point that in the past, the Spaniards used various methods such as cheating and cheating. The people who traveled to Mexico and promoted it was naturally good. It turned out that Mexico was full of treasures, and they could make money as long as they went in the past. Of course, some people felt that when someone said that when they came to Luzon, they also said that there were treasures everywhere, so they could make money if they could come?

In any case, these similar words were said, and the small hills of silver dollars seen in front of me, the words Zheng Dashui said were confirmed by each other, which invisibly increased many people's yearning for Mexico.

It was not until dusk that it took a lot of manpower to count the silver dollar clearly. During this process, those wise people who had nothing important were watching. Those who had to leave were reluctant to leave, and then brought the news to a farther place, attracting more people to watch.

No matter what, the people in Manila in Luzon have been a blessing in sight!

After this day, the topic of Silver Yuanshan became the topic of conversation after dinner in Luzon. It was a long time, and some people still mentioned it with relish. After all, there were a lot of silver, including Zheng Dashui and Yi Wang, who were all present.

For Zheng Zhilong, he successfully completed the emperor's will and sent people to send away these people and silver dollars, and his attention was still focused on the situation in Nanyang.

He drew skilled sailors from each army to train new sailing boats. There is a saying that it is good. Those who are difficult cannot, and those who are good cannot. After several months of training, I believe that the operation of this new sailing boat will not be much worse than that of the Western Yi.

These trainings were carried out on the Luzon Sea. On the one hand, it was to guard it here and was a bridgehead for the decisive battle in the South China Sea. On the other hand, there was no more suitable place for sailing training and could not be hidden.

Zheng Zhilong was not worried about this. This new sailing ship was not his trump card. His real killer was the spies of the Jinyiwei and rifled cannon. Needless to mention the spies of the Jinyiwei, the rifled cannon is easy to keep. Since he obtained the rifled cannon, he even longed for the decisive battle in Nanyang to start soon, so that the Red Hair, the pirates, and the indigenous coalition forces would be shocked!

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty about Liu Xiang's bad guy. He hadn't handled everything for so long. No wonder his reputation on the coast of Ming Dynasty was too far ahead!

The emperor had already made an order to command the battle between the South China Sea here. At that time, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be excited.

The Navy has always been just a vassal of the army. But now, this battle is my, Mr. Zheng, the head coach. This battle must be fought well, but it has been famous throughout the ages!

He was looking forward to Liu Xiang's side, but the situation was not optimistic.

Now, after sending Manila's fine work, he rushed back to Temasek, he immediately reported to Liu Xiang about the situation he saw in Manila.

New sailing ships, Spanish treasure ships, hill-like silver dollars, elite Ming army, etc. all stimulated Liu Xiang's hearing. He said nothing, his face was in a gloomy daze.

After a while, he came to his senses. Seeing that the Seizure had finished reporting, he waved his hand impatiently and told him to leave quickly. Without any good news, what else do you want?
Chapter completed!
