Chapter 898 Do you know you are afraid now?

(0898)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

Zheng Chenggong went north from the coast of Fujian in mid-February. Last winter, some unexpected events occurred within the Zheng family fleet, which led to his original action plan being slightly postponed.

However, it doesn't matter. Although he delayed the northward journey a little and delayed two or three months, he obtained more warships. The warships that could not be vacated were all vacated after the New Year. After the delay for several months, he received reinforcements from at least ten three-masted gunships, which Zheng Chenggong thought was worth it.

Obviously, in this matter, his father Zheng Zhilong adopted a tacit attitude. Without his tacit approval, Zheng Chenggong would not be able to mobilize so many three-masted gunships. This made Zheng Chenggong feel more confident and more ambitious. With his father's secret support, what can't be done?

Holding a thousand-mile mirror and examining the warships around him, Zheng Chenggong's heart was full of passion. This was the first time he led such a huge fleet. All the large warships together had more than one hundred. In the Zheng family, there were only a few people who could lead such a fleet. Among them, there were his father Zheng Zhilong, his two uncles Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao.

These people were his idols of Zheng Chenggong before. His greatest wish was to one day lead a huge fleet like them to conquer the world and seek the greatest benefits for the Zheng family. Now, his wish has finally come true.

Zheng Chenggong vowed that this time he went to fight, he would destroy all Zhang Zhun's maritime power. He would trample Zhang Zhun at his feet. He would let people all over the world see that the consequences of offending the Zheng family fleet were so terrible. He would make no one dare to offend the Zheng family again from now on.

"Young Master, I'll arrive at my destination in two hours."

The servant Zheng Shouyuan came to report.

"good!"

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but get ready to rub his hands.

After delaying for half a year, he can finally be truly distinguished from Zhang Zhun. Seeing that fierce battle is coming, Zheng Chenggong is indeed a little unable to control his emotions. After all, he is still very young and very proud. He heard that there is a fight, and his blood is boiling.

With Zheng Chenggong's character, it was indeed not easy to endure it for half a year! Fortunately, there is reward for your efforts. In this half year, he can mobilize more three-masted gunships and organize more powerful forces to find Zhang Zhun's trouble.

Yes, Zheng Chenggong is indeed a bit obsessed with the strength of the three-masted gunship. These giants are the basic power of the Zheng family fleet across the world, the capital of the Zheng family fleet to fight against the Dutch, and the firm cornerstone on which the Zheng family fleet relies on to maintain its status.

The three-masted gunship satisfies Zheng Chenggong with its huge body, excellent resistance to strike, dense artillery fire and fierce attacks. In particular, the red-clothed cannon on the three-masted gunship is a real killing weapon that can severely damage the enemy.

This time, Zheng Chenggong brought twenty-five three-masted gunships in one breath. Each of the three-masted gunships had four red-clothed cannons, all of which were a total of one hundred red-clothed cannons! One hundred, a total of one hundred red-clothed cannons! Plus the artillery of other warships, the number of artillery in the entire fleet exceeded three thousand!

What is the concept of three thousand cannons? This concept is that if you only shoot on one side of the ship, you can shoot 1,500 solid bullets at one time. If you shoot on both sides of the ship at the same time, you can shoot 3,000 solid bullets at one time.

So many solid bombs fall, it is even denser than raindrops, not to mention the stronger grape bombs. If all the bombs are fired, the momentum will be even more terrifying. Basically, within the effective range of 500 meters, the target can be destroyed in one go.

Such a number of artillery cannons, not to mention being used to deal with the Hu Ben Navy, can be fought for a while even if they encounter the Dutch fleet. This is also the basic reason why Zheng Chenggong is full of confidence. He has enough power in his hands, and no matter what tricks Zhang Zhun plays, he can still accompany him. When Zhang Zhun plays all the tricks, he will have to wait to die obediently.

Zheng Chenggong was determined not only to destroy all the military forces of Zhang Zhun and to destroy all the Hu Ben Navy, but also to go ashore in person to greet Zhang Zhun. He wanted to ask Zhang Zhun if he had been brave enough to provoke the Zheng family and dared to interfere in the Zheng family's territory. The vast ocean has always been the territory of the Zheng family. Isn't Zhang Zhun clear? The consequences of not knowing are of course only a dead end.

"Grandpa Six, do you think Zhang Zhun will avoid the battle?"

Zheng Chenggong suddenly said whimsically.

"Avoiding war? Probably not?"

Zheng Shouyuan said subconsciously.

"What if he feels that he is not our opponent, so he hides quietly?"

Zheng Chenggong conceived countless possibilities and asked persistently.

"This... is indeed a problem."

Zheng Shouyuan frowned and said.

In fact, he felt in his heart that Zhang Zhun was unlikely to avoid fighting, that was not Zhang Zhun's style of dealing with things. But since Zheng Chenggong said that, as a servant, he could only follow his wishes. Zheng Chenggong grew up slowly, and his own opinions became more and more, so he became more and more cautious.

"Hmph, do you think I can't find it if I hide? I don't believe it! Even if I search all the seas in the north, I will dig out Zhang Zhun!"

Zheng Chenggong seemed to feel that Zhang Zhun would really hide, with disdain on his face, not knowing what he thought of, touched his nerves, and swore faithfully. He seemed to be explaining to everyone around him that if Zhang Zhun was not killed this time, he would never give up easily. The eldest son of the Zheng family was not bullied.

Zheng Shouyuan was about to tactfully say that he should not underestimate Zhang Zhun's determination to resist. Judging from the situation last time, the power of the Hu Ben Army's navy was not so weak that it was vulnerable. They had the strength to wipe out Yang Tiansheng's fleet before, and it was obvious that their own strength would not be very weak. At that time, the number of large warships of the Hu Ben Army was still quite large.

What's more, a few months have passed, and the power of the Hu Ben Navy may be a little stronger. In this case, you should be more careful to avoid accidents. However, when the words came to his mouth, he shrank back. He felt that at this time, he would definitely be rushing to Zheng Chenggong's cold water, which would definitely cause the eldest son's displeasure.

"The information did not say that, Zhang Zhunyou hid..."

Zheng Shouyuan had no choice but to say slowly and tactfully.

"That would be the best."

Zheng Chenggong did not understand the tactful reminder from his hometown and said in a high spirit.

Zheng Shouyuan sighed quietly in his heart and shrank all the words behind him. Zheng Chenggong's mind is already a little hot, and nothing he says is useless. Instead of making Zheng Chenggong disgusted, it is better to be more cautious and avoid unexpected situations.

In fact, Zheng Shouyuan is also quite confident about the strength of his own fleet. After all, this is a huge fleet with twenty-five three-masted gunships, more than one hundred other large armed merchant ships, and a total of more than three thousand artillery guns. It is basically a sure thing to send such a strong maritime force to deal with Zhang Zhun.

Even if Zhang Zhun desperately increased the number of warships in the past few months, it would not be possible to have a miracle against the sky. The construction, launching and serving warships are all set of regulations, which require a lot of money and time. Warships, especially large warships, are definitely not something that can be changed by magic. Zhang Zhun cannot create a large number of warships out of thin air.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Suddenly, the low conch horn rang.

Zheng Shouyuan looked up and found that the observation post at the top of the mast had discovered the enemy situation.

"The eldest son, discover the warships of the Tiger Ben Army."

Someone came to report in a hurry.

"Prepare for the fight!"

Zheng Chenggong immediately shouted fiercely.

I thought Zhang Zhun would hide and dare not see anyone, but I didn’t expect that he really had the courage to fight the Zheng family fleet! Come on, wait for the Zheng family fleet to sink all of you to the bottom of the sea!

"The other party has only one ship."

The subordinate added.

"First be polite and then the army?"

Zheng Chenggong frowned and felt a little unhappy.

He doesn't like this method very much. He will beat him as long as he wants to. Why do he do so much fart? Could it be that Zhang Zhun is playing tricks? Yes, it must be that Zhang Zhun is playing tricks. Apart from this reason, there is no other possibility.

Zhang Zhun must have felt that the Zheng family fleet was not coming, the good ones did not come, and the comers were not good, and he did not have enough ability to fight, so he wanted to take a slow-down strategy to gain more time for himself to accumulate more strength. Humph, if I, Zheng Chenggong, if I am fooled by you, I will not be Zheng Chenggong! I changed my name to Zhang Chenggong!

"Let him come."

Zheng Chenggong said coldly.

He wanted to see what tricks Zhang Zhun was playing.

Soon, under the guidance of the Zheng family fleet, this small whistleboat of the Hu Ben Army appeared in front of Zheng Chenggong. There were only eight sailors on the ship, and there was also a man who did not look like a sailor. There was no armed force on the whistleboat.

Obviously, this is a purely sentry ship that comes to convey information. The purpose of its waiting here is to convey certain information to Zheng Chenggong. Its nature is similar to the messengers who communicate between the two armies on the land.

This man who didn't look like a sailor got on Zheng Chenggong's flagship and came to Zheng Chenggong, saluted Zheng Chenggong in a regular manner, and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Han Li, the naval staff officer of the Tiger Ben Army, met the eldest son."

Zheng Chenggong looked at Han Li with a bit arrogant expression, without any intention of taking him seriously, and said coldly: "Did Zhang Zhun send you to surrender?"

Han Li said in a humble and arrogant manner: "This is a letter from my governor to the eldest son. Please check it out. What my governor wants to say is in the letter."

After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Zheng Chenggong did not reach out to receive the letter, but Zheng Shouyuan next to him reached out to take the letter.

"read."

Zheng Chenggong said coldly.

"yes."

Zheng Shouyuan agreed, unfolded the letter and started chanting.

Of course, this was not a handwritten letter from Zhang Zhun, but was done by others. Therefore, its text is quite neat and there will be no low-level mistakes such as typos. In the letter, Zhang Zhun clearly stated that the Hu Ben Army Navy and the Zheng Fleet were fighting each other, and the only one who laughed secretly was the Dutch, which was not beneficial to the Han people.

If Zheng Chenggong puts the overall situation first, he should take the initiative to withdraw his troops to avoid the occurrence of conflicts. The two sides will resolve the future matters through negotiations. If Zheng Chenggong is short-sighted and wants to be an enemy of the Hu Ben Army, the Hu Ben Army will also be with him to the end.

The tone of the letter was basically peaceful, but the position of the Hu Ben Army was clearly shown. Whether it was a war or a harmony depends on what Zheng Chenggong meant.

"Hmph! Do you know you're afraid now?"

Zheng Chenggong said coldly.

There was a slight deviation in his understanding of Zhang Zhun's response. Zhang Zhun replied that he had to accompany him to the end. In Zheng Chenggong's opinion, it was entirely a matter of face. He thought that Zhang Zhun could not bear it anymore, so he sent someone to send such letters.

However, it's too late.

Since he has come, it is impossible for him to let Zhang Zhun go.

Are you easy to bully when you think the Zheng family fleet? You repeatedly sacrifice the Zheng family fleet and still hope that I can let you go? Go back and wash your neck and wait for the knife!

"Go back and tell Zhang Zhun that there is nothing so cheap! We are here this time to settle the accounts with him! All the previous accounts must be settled! None of them can escape!"

Zheng Chenggong said arrogantly.

Han Li didn't say anything, and after performing his salute, he turned around and left.

"Well, I realized I was afraid until I died."

Zheng Chenggong said disdainfully.

"Young Master, Zhang Zhun doesn't seem to be that kind of person."

Zheng Shouyuan said with some confusion.

"He must be scared."

Zheng Chenggong said proudly.
