Why did Zhu Qizhu cheat Zheng Zhilong like this? Didn’t he want to win over Zheng Zhilong and thus defeat Zheng Chenggong?

Isn't it a bit too much to do this?

The reason why he did this was mainly because Zheng Zhilong was too unreliable.

Zheng Zhilong is different from Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong was determined to resist the Qing Dynasty and never changed his mind until his death. He was very determined.

Zheng Zhilong is a fence-bearer, and the wind blows both sides. When the Ming Dynasty looked stronger, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. When the Jiannu seemed to be stronger, he surrendered to the Jiannu, without any bottom line.

In history, if he hadn't left Zheng Chenggong and defected to Jiannu, Zheng Chenggong might not have been so miserable.

Such a person naturally has to hold it tightly in his hands, otherwise he would be cheated by him if he accidentally did.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Qituo did not tell Zheng Zhilong about his identity.

Although the Ming Dynasty was full of war, the lean camel was bigger than a horse. As long as the Ming Dynasty did not lie down, its size was still amazing. No matter how you look at it, he, a vassal king, could not compete with the court.

Moreover, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the court at this time. Who knows if this guy will sell him for the sake of his interests!

He said that Zheng Zhilong could not make bullets and artillery shells, which were not despising others, nor was he bragging.

Musket bullets and artillery shells must be finely ground to ensure that the size is not bad, and the surface must be smooth without any edges or burrs. Otherwise, the barrel and artillery barrel will be scraped.

It has a machine tool, so there is no problem with processing.

Zheng Zhilong should not think about it. Without machine tools, manual grinding, and if you want to grind the round surface to the size of the round surface, even the most skilled craftsman must be careful. It takes a long time, and if you are not careful, it will be scrapped and all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Can Zheng Zhilong find so many skilled grinders?

Obviously it is impossible.

Even if Zheng Zhilong can find a skilled grinder, the shape of the shell is not easy to process. There are completely regular round surfaces and completely regular conical surfaces. If there is no machine tool, it is even more difficult to process them.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zheng Zhilong to create such fine bullets and shells.

He wanted to take advantage of this and pinch Zheng Zhilong and let Zheng Zhilong listen to his own words.

Muskets and cannons are sold to you, and the bullets and cannonballs are pinched in my hand, and see how you jump around!

Moreover, in order to prevent Zheng Zhilong from playing tricks, he also left a hand. He would not sell the shells with huge lethality such as explosion bombs, explosion bombs and sky thunder. He only sells pig iron solid bombs and armor-piercing bombs.

If Zheng Zhilong was obedient, that would be fine.

If Zheng Zhilong dares to be disobedient, he will naturally teach this guy well!

Of course, Zheng Zhilong is not the kind of person who can be controlled by others.

At this moment, he had no choice but to temporarily bow his head and admit defeat, pay for bullets and shells.

From now on, it's hard to say.

He always finds someone to copy it.

It was like he bought muskets and cannons from the Dutch and Spanish.

At the beginning, he had no choice but to buy it at a high price. Later, he started to find someone to imitate it. Although the imitation of muskets and cannons cannot be compared with other people's, they can be used at least.

He is not the kind of honest person. He will find someone to imitate the muskets, cannons and shells he bought here. He still doesn't believe it. Can't imitate the muskets and cannons be imitated, and cannons be imitated, and cannons and cannons be imitated?

He made a haha, and said with a false opinion: "How could I make some bullets and shells randomly? Don't worry, I won't do such stupid things. By the way, when will these things be delivered?"

Zhu Qizhu calculated the time and then asked: "How about it, then two months later? It's almost the Chinese New Year, so I have to go back and prepare. It will take about two months to go back and forth."

Two months, it's a bit tight.

Zheng Zhilong thought about it and then made a decision: "Or it's only three months, I have to go to Japan. Two months may not be enough."

Three months is three months, and I'm not in a hurry.

Zhu Qizhuo nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, within three months, I will definitely prepare the things. We will trade here, pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time. What do you think?"

Zheng Zhilong was not shy and nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll bring the money to pick up the goods at that time."

The deal is almost done when talking about it. After a few words of disguise, Zheng Zhilong was about to take a boat back.

However, after stepping onto the wheel boat, he felt a little itchy again.

This is also a good thing. It doesn’t need to be stepped on by people, and it’s so fast that it’s scary. If you can buy a few ships and then copy them into a lot of them, it wouldn’t be invincible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper Zhu, do you sell this kind of ship?"

this?

That's impossible to sell to you!

Because it contains the secrets of steam engines and gear transmission, although Zheng Zhilong may not be able to imitate it, it will be troublesome if it falls into the hands of the Dutch or the Spanish.

After all, the steam engine was designed first in history on the continent, and now they probably have begun to try to build steam engines.

If such a complete set of things is obtained by them, wouldn’t it help them overcome all kinds of difficulties and reach the sky in one step!

Naturally, it is impossible to do such stupid things.

He shook his head without hesitation and said, "I won't sell this."

Zheng Zhilong was still a little unwilling to give up and said, "Or why I sell me a few ships, and I will pay for it any amount."

I'm afraid you want to buy it and copy it?

I'm afraid you can't imitate it, but the Dutch and Spanish imitate it. Wouldn't that shoot yourself in the foot!

Zhu Qizhu pretended to be curious and said, "What's the use of buying a few ships?"

Uh, this one.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes turned and then explained: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you don't know. If you want to wipe out other pirates, the biggest difficulty is to determine their location. The vast sea is always thousands of miles away. It is too difficult to find a small fleet at the speed of a sailboat. However, with this kind of speed, the wheels are different. On the sea, it should not be a problem to travel thousands of miles a day. As long as there are a few such wheels, I can quickly find the location of other pirate fleets. It will be much easier to wipe out."

Is that true?

I can't sell it to you if it's like this!

Zhu Qizhu thought about it, then pretended to be a shame: "I don't want to sell this kind of ship to you. The main reason is that the mechanism inside is too fine. Once it is broken, you will not be able to repair it at all. I don't want to cheat you. If it really doesn't work, just do it. I should be a little empty next year. I can take someone to help you find other pirates. At that time, you just need to lead the fleet to encircle and suppress it. What do you think?"

He wanted to take this opportunity to understand the situation and prepare for the future maritime battle.

After all, this is the era of great navigation. If you don’t seize the power to control the sea, you can’t imagine that you will live a peaceful life. Those European powers are just robbers. If you don’t beat them down, they will rob them in different ways.

Zheng Zhilong was unwilling to accept it: "It's not good to do this, it's so troublesome to you."

Zhu Qizhuo said with a longing face: "Actually, I want to take this opportunity to go to the sea to see it. I heard that the vast sea is vast and vast, and I have long wanted to see the spectacular scene."

Alas, there is no way, people say that, what else can I do?

People want to help you and take a trip to the sea. If you don’t let others go, it’s impossible to say anything!

Zheng Zhilong could only say helplessly: "Then it's time for Manager Zhu."
