498 Timing Matters
Zheng Zhibao stared at Zheng Zhilong. Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He immediately shouted irritably: "Severe people's wealth is to kill their parents, let's forget it!"
"Shut up!" Zheng Zhilong suddenly looked up and shouted loudly, "Does everyone outside know about this loud noise?"
"Don't bother him!" Zheng Zhibao argued a little dissatisfied, "Now, my Zheng family is the only one in the sea. What's the point of being able to do with us? Brother, I want to steal money from us and be damn..."
What is the profit at sea? Those who have been pirates before know the most. They are about to make a lot of money, but this is the end!
With a "bang", Zheng Zhilong was full of anger and slapped Zheng Zhibao in the face and interrupted his speech.
"Why hit me?" Zheng Zhibao asked angrily while covering his slaughtered cheek with one hand.
Zheng Zhilong shouted sternly: "You have your wings hard, are you? You have turned your mouth shut. I want to kill you?"
Usually, Zheng Zhilong rarely gets angry, but he is more silent and even smiles at the silence of the earth. At this time, he is like a crazy lion, and he is scared of Zheng Zhibao. He is not confident at all, but he still says, "Am I wrong? If we are against us, who can deal with us on this sea? The sea boats traveling from south to north have to pay us protection fees, then..."
Or he had a big temper just now, which slightly relieved Zheng Zhilong's anger. He turned around and often saw no one outside the cabin. Obviously, his subordinates followed the instructions and no one was nearby.
He then turned to look at Zheng Zhibao, his tone was slightly calmer, but he still said with anger: "Don't forget, Li Kuiqi is not dead yet!"
"So what?" Zheng Zhibao said with a slight twist of his mouth when he heard this, and said with a little disdain, "Even if he has three heads and six arms, he has no men and boats, can he do anything else?"
"But he has the court as his backer!" Zheng Zhilong pointed north with his hand, "The court has a navy in the Jiangnan area and a navy in the north. If the court really wants to support him, he needs a ship and a person, and he can form several times more maritime power than us in one or two years, do you believe it?"
After hearing this, Zheng Zhibao wanted to say something. But Zheng Zhilong did not give him a chance and continued to preach to him: "Also, don't forget that we can achieve the current achievements in the end, only by having the government as our backer can we fight a path."
There were many pirates on this coast of Ming Dynasty. They even formed a singular brothers at the time, but it was just a means of intrigue. Among so many pirates, the Zheng family was not prominent at the beginning...
Thinking of his experiences over the years, Zheng Zhibao stopped talking.
Seeing that this younger brother was finally able to listen, Zheng Zhilong finally completely controlled his temper, sat back, and then said in a calm tone: "Besides, whether the court really wants to open the maritime ban is not yet confirmed! When there is a little turmoil, you are yelling to rebel. If you do this, it will be strange if you can live a long life!"
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm just talking about it. Of course, my idea is to take it from you, brother!"
Zheng Zhilong did not answer his words, frowned slightly, looked down at his feet, as if speaking to himself, "Those red barbarians are not easy to mess with. If we only deal with them, we may lose a lot. Also, we are not very stable inside, especially since Li Kuiqi is not dead, he still has his appeal!"
Speaking of this, he looked up at Zheng Zhibao and said, "This time I escorted the food to Dongjiang. I can see how the Denglai Navy Master is and how Li Kuiqi is doing there? Also, I also want to go and see the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and meet this young emperor!"
"Brother, just do what you say!" Zheng Zhibao scratched his head and said, "I'm stupid, everything is mainly based on my brother!"
"Yes!" Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "If you have any news here, remember to notify your elder brother in time. In addition, the elder brother also thought that he should put some people in the capital, otherwise we would be kept in the dark if there is anything wrong with the imperial court!"
Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, then pointed out a few names, and then explained: "When the fleet supplies are completed, the eldest brother will continue to go north. For these people, you ask them to come to see the eldest brother immediately and go north with the eldest brother!"
"Brother, don't worry, I'll call them over immediately." Zheng Zhibao turned around and left when he heard this.
When Zheng Zhilong saw it, he was thinking about the matter in his heart, so he called him and asked, "How about Fusong when I was not here?"
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he turned around and came back and said with a smile: "My nephew is smart and he is studying hard. His gentleman praises him!"
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and waved his hand and let Zheng Zhibao go.
The emperor said that this time, he escorted the food to Dongjiang to give his son a Jinyiwei, and hoped that this kid would have a better future!
At this time, Zheng Zhilong had not thought about gaining troops or even rebelling. But if he had given him a few years according to the original historical development, Li Kuiqi was dead at that time, and he killed Zhong Bin and others, and truly became the dominant one, and began to collect a lot of money for protection.
In that case, if the court puts out the sea ban again and wants to touch the fat he has already eaten, he might have the same idea as Zheng Zhibao.
When Zheng Zhilong completed the supply and set off with the fleet again, his immediate boss, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian, had just arrived in the capital with Liu Guoneng.
When the capital that had been away for a long time, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but sigh a lot.
During the Tianqi period, he was just a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel. If he resigned from his post, he would be a scam. After all, he studied hard for half his life and finally passed the Jinshi exam. He jumped into the Dragon Gate just to become an official!
Now that I come to the capital again, I am already a magistrate of the Ming Dynasty and a governor. Not many people in the Ming Dynasty have achieved such a success!
Sun Chuanting knew that according to the convention, it was impossible to see the emperor immediately when he came to the palace to resign. After all, the emperor had to have time to meet him.
He knew that Liu Guoneng was a native of Qin and had never been to the capital. Look, just look at the tall city wall of the capital. There were so many passers-by, and he opened his mouth wide and knew what he knew!
"Let's go, I will take you for a walk!" Sun Chuanting greeted and left the gate of the Ministry of Personnel based on his memory.
He knew that if he was a native of Jin and went to Fujian to serve as a governor, it was very important whether he could achieve good results. And this Liu Guoneng was the helper selected by the court for him. It was necessary to win him over and let him listen to his words wholeheartedly.
