"Father, the Dutch really has a warship of a hundred cannons?"

Zheng Chenggong asked Yang Feng.

This issue is what their family is most concerned about. This year's cooperation with the emperor made Zheng Zhilong's hand cramps even when counting money. Although it was 46 cents, the goods sold by the emperor still brought millions of taels of silver to the Zheng family from Japan and Southeast Asia. Moreover, the Dutch who had just driven out the chicken coop not long ago, then found the sulfur mines that the emperor mentioned, and even found gold mines there. Although it was still 46 cents, it was still like a treasure house for the Zheng family, where there was inexhaustible sulfur.

Then what Zheng Zhilong is most worried about is that the Dutch will covet.

Who doesn’t want a treasure house?

He had actually not fought before expelling the Dutch. He and the Dutch had worked closely together. The chicken cage was alone in the north, which was a waste of money for the Dutch. It was nothing more than a supply point to go to Japan. He made a tough stance and paid some money, so the Dutch gave it to him directly. After all, if the fall is a disaster, it will not be of any benefit to the Dutch.

But now the Dutch regrets it.

"The Dutch don't!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Zheng Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief.

"But they have a lot of warships of seventy or eighty cannons, and hundreds of warships of forty or fifty cannons. As for the countless armed merchant ships they had during the Battle of Jinxia, ​​it is probably not an exaggeration to say that thousands of ships are."

Then Yang Feng said.

Zheng Chenggong took a breath of air conditioning.

"You don't have to be afraid. It is a warship of the Dutch Navy, not an East India Company, and it will not be driven to the East in the short term. They also have a bunch of enemies in Thailand. Their navy is mainly based on the Atlantic Ocean as the main activity area. The Dutch government will not be a thug for the East India Company. All you need to face is the private army of the East India Company. I tell you this, just let Nan'an know that there is a sky outside the sky. There are some powerful maritime forces in this world, but the Ming Dynasty is definitely not in the top five. Our warships are too small and our cannons are not good. It is very difficult to fight the Dutch armed merchant ships. If you encounter a real warship, you will definitely lose.

And our enemies are not only the Dutch.

The Portuguese are in Macau.

The Spanish are in Luzon.

The British East India Company has established three fortresses in India and is ambitious to enter the South China Sea. The one hundred cannon warships I mentioned belong to is from Britain.

The Thais are coming one after another. So what will the Ming Dynasty respond? Continue to use those small sailboats to deal with them? You think the red cannons are giant cannons, but do you know what the red cannons are in Thailand? They use the weight of shells to distinguish cannons. The red cannons are eighteen-pound naval cannons, which are considered middle- and inferior on their warships. Their real main force is twenty-four pounds and thirty-two pounds. Even the British warship with one hundred cannons is equipped with forty-two-pound cannons and thirty-two pound shells. Do you think our warships can hold up one?

besides.

The plywood ships you have seen are just their armed civilian ships, and they are completely different from their naval warships. Do you know what their real warships look like?

Very simple.

Nearly two feet thick oak boards.

Do you think the Red Cannon can penetrate such a thing?

So we need to prepare early. We need to build ships, build large warships, and large warships like them. I know how to build them, but I need wood, oak, teak, and especially teak. Next, you ask Nan'anbo to get as much teak from Nanyang as possible, and find more shipbuilders. Let's prepare the materials for the shipbuilding first, and then you can build them in two years. After building our large warships, I will also form the East India Company of the Ming Dynasty, and then you will take charge of this company."

Yang Feng said.

"My son will never let down the holy grace!"

Zheng Chenggong quickly lay down and kowtowed.

"Well, you are a good child. Although you are my adopted son, I will not treat you badly. Speaking of which, my three sons don't know life or death. Apart from Kunxing, you are close to me. Go back and do your best. I will directly call you a king in the future!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Zheng Chenggong was shocked. He was the adopted son. The adopted son was more of a title. Not to mention it was compared with the real son, it was much worse than the step-son adopted son. To put it bluntly, it was just an honorary title. But now he actually promised to be the king, which made him a little dizzy. This really treated himself as his own son. Even if he was just a prince, it was enough to be shocked.

He almost retreated in a daze.

Looking at his back, Emperor Yang looked at the flying snowflakes outside with a deep expression.

He found that taking away his godson was a good method, and Xiao Zheng had obviously completely fallen. Anyway, his three sons are still unknown, and there is only one daughter left by his side. He lacks family comfort, so it is reasonable to take away his godson. But this goal is not easy to find. His godson must be a real elite. Unfortunately, Li Dingguo is still under Zhang Xianzhong's hands, otherwise this godson would be worthy of being accepted.

"Your Majesty, your ginseng tea."

At this time, the gentle voice of Concubine Jing sounded beside him, and then a cup of ginseng tea was gently placed in front of him.

Yang Feng looked up at her.

"Your Majesty, it will be cold if you don't drink it!"

Jing Guiren said with a blushing face.

Then there was a crisp sound, and His Majesty the Emperor slapped her little butt with his hand.

"What are you drinking ginseng tea? Why don't you go back to your room and wait!"

The emperor's sage.

"Your Majesty, this is daytime!"

Jing Guiren bit her lips and said with a blushing face.

"Does this kind of thing depend on the time?"

Yang Feng said hurriedly, stood up, hugged her horizontally in his arms, and couldn't wait to walk to the inner room next to him. Before he could enter the door, Li Xiu didn't know how he came out of the side and hit him rashly. Seeing their condition, her pretty face suddenly turned red with shame. She turned her head to get over from the side, but was grabbed by Concubine Jing. Yang Feng didn't notice it and was in a hurry to walk into the room, which pulled Li Xiu to fall on him. The latter struggled to run away, but Concubine Jing, who had always been weak, grabbed her hair firmly like a drowning person. Poor Li Xiu screamed and was dragged by her.

"what?"

Yang Feng said in surprise.

"Do it!"

Jing Guiren, who had been taught by him to understand the meaning of this word, said with a charming smile on his face.

"You little goblin!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

He is not a good thing, but because Li Xiucai was just sixteen years old, he had been controlling and not taking action. But at this time, he was not thinking about the age of the latter. He hugged Jing Guiren's slender waist with one hand, and picked up Li Xiu who was beside him with the other hand without hesitation. As the latter struggled, he walked into the room directly, raised his foot and kicked the door. Then Li Xiu's terrified scream came from inside. Of course, it soon turned into a painful scream, accompanied by Jing Guiren's smug laughter.

"Haha! Please get up soon."

Just as His Majesty was flying happily, Dorgon was standing in front of the city gate, stretching out his hands to support Yan Shenggong who was kneeling on the ground.

Behind the latter, officials and representatives of gentry from all over Shandong were kneeling, and they were lying there with excited smiles to worship the new master, but most of these people were still wearing Ming Dynasty official uniforms.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty still could not be regarded as a real rule over Shandong. Basically, one of the officials in Shandong remained unchanged, but the governor was added. However, the governor was the former Tianjin Bingbaidao Yuan Yuzong, and the Shandong Governor was former Xuandao Governor Li Huaxi. These two men, together with Wang Aoyong, the minister of the two ministries of the Ministry of Housing and Workers in the court, formed the Lu Party together. The matters in Shandong were basically decided by the four of them.

The Qing Dynasty basically ruled the local area in this way.

After all, Dorgon is not the same now.

His little strength could not truly effectively rule what he currently has, including the entire Taihang Mountains north of the Yellow River, and the vast northern land in Shanxi, including the Jinzhong Plain and north of Shanxi, which could only be handed over to local officials of the Han people. To put it bluntly, he is now an alliance with Han people and gentry. The latter provided him with food and wages, recognized his regime's rule, and he provided the latter with a barrier to prevent the foolish emperor from making a comeback.

In Shandong, it is mainly the Lu Party.

Zhili was the Northern Party headed by Feng Quan.

Jiang Guan and southern officials headed by Chen Mingxia formed an alliance.

Now these three parties are basically united.

However, among the officials and gentry who were kneeling down, one of them had a rat tail that looked like a bannerman on his head. The clothes on his body were also in the style of a bannerman, which looked particularly abrupt among the crowd, especially the newly scraped blue scalp, which was shiny and shiny.

"Who is this?"

Prince Rui, who had just helped Kong Yinzhi up, saw the rat tail at a glance. He pointed at the man with a hint of surprise.

The man quickly stepped forward and kowtowed to the ground as he learned the movements of the bannermen, saying, "Caomin was a Jinshi in the previous dynasty, so the Hanlin Academy reviewed Sun Zhike to the regent. Caomin knew his fate and saw the prosperous Qing Dynasty. The regent was so proud that the king's heroic posture was really longing for him. Therefore, he followed the king's patriarch and made a loyal heart. He did not get the regent's approval, so he asked the palace to surrender his crime."

"Muyi Xianghua is a common human nature, so why did Mr. Sun blame him? I am in Beijing and I have heard a lot about Mr. Xu's reputation for being virtuous and virtuous. I have long been interested in pursuing him. I don't want to see him here. I would like to ask Mr. Xu not to take advantage of this king's liberation, and follow him to the capital to support the Qing Dynasty!"

Dorgon said with a smile.

"Caomin Mountain and Ye Village, why should your highness ask?"

Sun Zhixiu said with a hint of tremolo lying there.

"Sir, I am too humble. Who doesn't know that he has the talent of heaven and earth? He was the foolish monarch who was incompetent and unrighteous. Now, my Qing Dynasty has established the Yandu, and it is the time when my husband has shown his talent."

After hearing someone beside him introduce Sun Zhixiu's background, Dorgon said with a smile.

"Respect the order!"

Sun Zhixie said hurriedly.

"vomit!"
