Zheng Zhilong is still very capable.

This famous pirate was handsome and elegant, and was unconventional. He was a sloppy person when he was young, did not like to study, had strength, and was good at fist and stick. He was famous for his bravery. He was once baptized by the Roman Catholic Church. He also believed in the sea god Mazu and the Buddhist and Taoist Bodhisattva Morizhitian Bodhisattva. In Japan, he also worshiped the god of Shinto Hachiman.

This person is versatile, speaks Minnan, Nanjing Mandarin, Japanese, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese. He is enthusiastic about learning swordsmanship and can also play musical instruments and Spanish guitars.

All these are secondary. What’s more important is that this person founded the armed maritime business group: Yiguan Party!

Since the age of sailing in the 16th century, armed maritime merchant groups have become a norm for maritime trade in various countries. In order to protect the smoothness of the trade, they have their own armed forces to avoid pirates, but they often engage in business and stealing to combat trade competitors.

The well-known trading company was born in the Netherlands, the East India Company in the UK, the First Official Party of Zheng Zhilong and the Li Dan Party of China.

The most well-known is the Dutch East India Company. It initially specializes in the fleets of Spain and Portugal based on political and religious reasons. However, for commercial interests, it also interferes with the fleets of other countries on the same route. It often loots and criticizes Chinese and Japanese ships that trade with Spain and Portugal (the stronghold is Macau).

However, Zheng Zhilong's sudden appearance later caused a lot of trouble for the Dutch.

Zheng Zhi is also very clever. On the one hand, he added the business of the ruling flag business (maritime preservation) to his ruling flag fleet. On the other hand, he organized another Japanese pirate group to invade the fleet that did not apply for the ruling flag protection of the ruling flag, establishing his reputation on the coast of China, and effectively reducing the occurrence of single piracy.

Later, even the Netherlands had to take the lead and cooperate with Zheng Zhilong in business.

Now that he is going to see this person, Ding Yunyi is still a little nervous.

However, when Zheng Zhilong saw Ding Yunyi's arrival, he was quite enthusiastic and kept calling out "Xiang Wen", as if he really regarded Ding Yunyi as his nephew.

After bringing Ding Yunyi into his tent, Zheng Zhilong ordered the tea to be served quickly, and turned his head to compliment Ding Yunyi again, saying that Ding Yunyi was so good at both civil and military, how brave he was in the battle with the Red Wild, that he would be sooner or later, and so on.

Ding Yunyi was polite and couldn't figure out what Zheng Zhilong was going to do.

While speaking, Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers came in with a bowl of tea. As soon as Ding Yunyi turned around, he collided with the personal soldiers. Half a bowl of tea was poured on Ding Yunyi's body.

The personal soldiers immediately looked like earth, and they knelt on the ground with a "thump", kowtowed and called for "Ruo your life".

Ding Yunyi is so strange. Isn’t it just a bowl of tea that is poured on his body? What’s the big deal?

"Kill!"

Zheng Zhilong said softly, which shocked Ding Yunyi. Why did he "kill"?

"Master, Master!" The personal soldier cried out loudly, "Master, please spare your life!"

Ding Yunyi then realized that Zheng Zhilong was going to kill the personal soldier, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Yun Yi doesn't care about some trivial matters, please join the Rong and let him go."

"Xiang Wen, sit, sit." Zheng Zhilong sighed: "I know this is indeed a small matter, but the state has national laws and family rules. Even small things like serving tea and water cannot be done. How can we go to battle and kill the enemy and serve the court in the future? Seeing that there are uneasiness in various places, bandits are rising everywhere, the emperor..."

Ding Yunyi was confused by the fact that such a small matter involved national affairs for no reason.

"Because he is my personal soldier, I cannot allow him to be so rude in front of the guests." Zheng Zhilong finished his big truth and clicked on his personal soldier who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over: "He has been following me since he was eight years old. When he was thirteen, I was besieged by pirates and was injured. He carried me out of the dead. Later, I became an official in the court. I originally wanted to repay him for his life-saving grace, but he just didn't want to leave. He just wanted to be a small personal soldier by my side. Where can I find such a loyal subordinate? I really can't bear to kill him!"

Ding Yunyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Zheng Zhilong was just pretending.

"Little Shitou, there is no one at your house, right?" Zheng Zhilong suddenly called out his personal soldiers affectionately.

"Yes, Master, Xiao Shitou has been an orphan since he was a child. It's not that I took Xiao Shitou in, Xiao Shitou had already died." Hearing Zheng Zhilong's kind tone, Xiao Shitou felt relieved.

Zheng Zhilong nodded: "It is not easy for you to follow me over the years and do your best. I will accept you as your adopted son."

Xiao Shitou was lucky in disguise and was adopted by Zheng Zhilong as his adopted son. He was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Get up, get up." Zheng Zhilong actually helped Xiao Shitou up in person.

"Thank you, my grandfather, Xiao Shitou will definitely......"

Before Xiao Shitou finished speaking, he suddenly froze there. He looked down and a short blade penetrated deep into his heart.

"Master, I..." Xiao Shitou fell down softly.

This time, a sudden change occurred, and everyone in the tent stayed there.

Zheng Zhilong pulled out a short blade from Xiao Shi Tou's heart, and a few tears flowed down his eyes. He wiped his eyes: "Come on, let's bury Xiao Shi Tou according to the specifications of the young master."

"He has followed me for ten years, ten years!" Zheng Zhilong stamped his feet repeatedly, "heartbroken": "I treat you like your biological son, but Xiaoshitou, Xiaoshitou, why do you do something wrong? Killing you is like snatching my heart. From then on, I will talk to you and tell you what you are thinking..."

His sad look did not remind people of his sad object who had just died in his hands because of an inexplicable little thing.

When Xiao Shitou's body was carried out, Zheng Zhilong stopped crying: "Although I can't bear it, family law is family law, military law is military law, and there is no tolerance at all. Even if my own son violates me, he will be killed!"

The tent was quiet and there was no sound at all. Zheng Zhilong swept his subordinates one by one with his eyes, and finally stayed on Ding Yunyi for a while:

"Everyone, some of you are old subordinates who have followed me for many years, and some have only made new contributions recently. I, Zheng, have been deeply grateful to the emperor and should help Your Majesty. Therefore, I hope you can work together to help Zheng. But if you don't follow Zheng's intentions and do something shameful in secret, Zheng has to kill him. No matter how big the backstage this person has!"
