Wang Zhi thought that Yang Cong would definitely sneer at Folang Jiren's request. After all, these guys had only fought two battles with the Ming Dynasty a few years ago and were definitely hostile to the Ming Dynasty. How could the Governor see the envoy from the enemy country privately?

Unexpectedly, after thinking about it, Yang Cong actually asked with interest: "Did they say why they asked to see me?"

Wang Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

What's wrong with this Governor? It's a serious crime to receive an envoy from an enemy country without permission. If it is accidentally passed into the emperor's ears, it will be a beheaded.

He was stunned for a moment, then he said carefully: "What they mean is to ask the adults to discuss it to see if they can open Yuegang as a trading port for them."

It's true!

The colonial powers are so virtuous now. If they can beat you, they will never be polite. They will serve weak countries with strong ships, powerful guns, and either become colonies directly or force you to sign various unequal treaties.

If they can't beat you, they will try every means to negotiate with you, trick you into opening a commercial port, implement economic colonization, and slowly erode. When their strength is stronger than you, they will turn against each other without hesitation.

Yang Cong naturally knew this trick very well, but he was not opposed to doing business with the great powers. This economic colonization is not a one-sided way to colonize whoever wants to colonize. It mainly depends on the strength and development speed of both sides.

If the Ming Dynasty was as close as in history, it was inseparable from the country, and was self-contained, and self-destructive, it would be better to have less contact with these colonial powers, because they were just ungrateful and could not be fed no matter how they were fed. The only idea was to swallow you all.

However, it will be different now with him.

Now, everyone is basically on the same starting line, and it is not certain who can beat him.

Having gained hundreds of years of experience, can he not be able to overcome the colonial "indigenous" of this era?

Thinking of this, he said lightly: "When will we talk?"

This Governor really dares to negotiate with the envoy of the enemy country!

Wang Zhi was surprised and couldn't help but admire Yang Cong even more. In his opinion, the way to success is to dare to act. If he dares not do or do, how could he dare to go to do business with Japanese people? How could he be so prosperous?

This Governor is really admirable.

He bowed respectfully, "The Folang Ji people also went to Japan to deliver goods. They were a few days later than the Mo Jiang, and they also had to buy some specialties in Japan. Therefore, their return journey would be about half a month later than the Mo Jiang. What they meant is that if the Governor was willing to talk to them, they would wait in Putuo, the old nest of the Mo Jiang. When they returned, they would go to the Mo Jiang to take a walk."

Let’s talk about it. You want to play economic colonization with me, and I also want to play economic colonization with you.

Yang Cong thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Is Putuo? OK! I am just about to go to your place to see it. Let's do this. You can rest here first today. We will set off tomorrow to meet the Folang Jiren."

Wang Zhi naturally did not dare to have any objection. He respected the order and immediately ordered his subordinates to carry the silver.

The next morning, the genius had just polished it, and the waters near Yuegang were crowded with various types of ships. There were sea ships under Wang Zhi, old-fashioned warships from Zhejiang and Fujian Navy, and new warships recently built by the Nantai Shipyard, with more than 200 large and small ships, which looked extremely spectacular.

Yang Cong stood on a tall blessed ship, looking at the dense warships around him, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hehe, since the Portuguese dares to come for negotiation, they must have something to rely on. They probably will show themselves the "muscles" and dare to compete with me in the warships, which will not scare you to death!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but waved his hand proudly: "Let's array and set off!"

With his order, more than 200 ships of various types lined up a huge circular array and slowly sailed to the north.

Quanzhou Prefecture is quite far from Wang Zhi's nest. If it is considered a sea route, it will take about 1,500 miles. Even if it is smooth sailing, it will take five or six days. The wind on the sea is not what you want. Therefore, it took Yang Cong's journey nearly ten days to arrive at Putuo Island, east of Zhoushan.

At this moment, Putuo Island is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Zhongyouqianhu District of Dinghaiwei. There was originally an intersection inspection department under the Zhongyouqianhu District of Dinghaiwei. However, the Dinghaiwei has been slackened and the intersection inspection department has long been abandoned. Putuo Island has long been occupied by Wang Zhi. Even after he surrendered to the court, no one dared to recover it, because he has become the general of the Zhejiang Navy, and what is the point of occupying a small Putuo Island?

Originally, there would be no ships around Putuo Island, because everyone knows that this is the largest force on the sea. The old nest of the Japanese pirate leader Wang Zhi, generally even pirates dare not approach it. If Wang Zhi leads the ship to sea, the sea surface here will be basically clean and can't be seen even a single ship.

However, in the past few days, hundreds of warships have appeared in the waters near Putuo. Although these warships are not large in size, they are very neat in style. They are either Cangshan ships or centipede ships, and they are lined with muzzles on them, which makes people feel numb at first glance.

The pirates and Japanese pirates on Putuo Island thought that these official troops wanted to go back on their word and took advantage of the opportunity of the leader Wang Zhi going out to sea to deal with them, so they were all so scared that they were panicked and panicked all day long.

Unexpectedly, these warships of the government troops did not attack them. For several days, they were just cruising back and forth in the nearby waters, as if waiting for someone.

A few days later, the people they were waiting for seemed to appear, and a huge fleet suddenly emerged from the sea in the south. The number of ships was probably less than 200, and the direction was straight towards Putuo Island.

The more than a hundred Ming army warships that arrived first immediately leaned forward when they saw this fleet. It was obvious that they were waiting for this fleet.

This guy, there are more than 300 warships on both sides, and there are definitely no less than 10,000 officers and soldiers on it!

The officers and soldiers at this time were different from before. In the past, the officers and soldiers were basically all soft-legged shrimps. It was okay for them to pick two of them. Nowadays, the officers and soldiers are like tigers, and there is no problem for one to pick five or six of them or even ten of them.

It's over, it's over.

At this moment, the pirates and Japanese pirates on the island were so scared that they almost jumped into the sea to escape.

Unexpectedly, after more than 300 Ming army warships approached the port, they did not launch the imagined fierce attack. Only one big lucky ship was the first to get on the dock, and the first to get off the ship was their leader Wang Zhi!

What's going on?

It turned out that this was purely a misunderstanding. The more than a hundred warships that came first were the Nanzhili Navy warships led by Qi Jingtong. After more than half a year of rushing work, the Nantai Shipyard had built a fleet of hundreds of warships. Yang Cong first deployed it to the most important Nanzhili waters.

This time, in order to "muscle" for the Portuguese Lulu, he ordered a fast horse of 800 miles to urgently notify Qi Jingtong to come to Putuo to meet. Qi Jingtong was not familiar with Wang Zhi, and the people who stayed on the island were even more pure pirates and Japanese pirates. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Qi Jingtong simply led a fleet to wait in the waters near Putuo. As a result, the pirates and Japanese pirates on the island were almost scared.
