Chapter 232 King to King

Chu Yun was sitting in the main seat, with guards behind him, and on both sides were a group of naval officers, who were on high alert.

The pirate leader was sitting in the guest seat with several pirates, opposite Chu Yun. The two were about the same age, and they had tens of thousands of people at a young age, with a pattern of one south and one north, which was very similar.

"Zheng Zhilong, I didn't expect you to come here in person. You only brought so few people, aren't you afraid of sheep entering the tiger's mouth?" Chu Yun gently knocked on the wooden table.

"I heard that the Liao army was carrying the banner of saving the country and destroying Jin. We are both ministers of the Ming court. I believe it will not be difficult for me." Zheng Zhilong was calm and smiled calmly.

He is worthy of being a real ship king who can lead Shibazhi to expand his territory in his twenties and has tens of thousands of pirates under his command. When facing the formation set up by Chu Yun, Chu Yun was not scared. If it weren't for the system, Chu Yun wouldn't believe that he could do as good as Zheng Zhilong. Even so, as the current enemy, Chu Yun would still make things difficult for him.

"I am the general of Liaodong, the court appointed by the court, but you are a pirate who is enemies with the court. He attacked Fujian and the coast of Zhejiang repeatedly. I am an official, you are a thief. When did we become ministers of the Ming court?" Chu Yun said coldly.

"You don't know that we, Eighteen Zhi, had just reached an agreement with Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan, to surrender to the court, and were appointed as the general of the Five Tigers of Guerrilla in the sea to defend against guerrillas. "Zheng Zhilong raised his head and said with his chest, he was also the title of officer and soldier after all.

Shibazhi surrendered to the court... Donghai has not been intervened by himself before, but it is still similar to the historical process. Chu Yun was not surprised, or Shibazhi surrendered to the Ming court on the surface, which was expected.

"Since we are officials in the same dynasty, I will destroy the enemy country and be the general of Liaodong. The official position is much greater than that of you. Can't you respect the Shangguan?" Since Zheng Zhilong wanted to beat the big banner of the court, Chu Yun would accompany him.

"..." Zheng Zhilong found that this seemed to be unpleasant. Although both sides were officials in the same dynasty, Chu Yun could not attack him on the surface, but wasn't this giving Chu Yun a verbal convenience?

"Secretary...Secretary..." Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth and bowed to Chu Yun in a low voice unwilling manner.

"Speak loudly, I can't hear it." Chu Yun picked up the tea cup, tasted a good sip of the tea, and said indifferently.

"Chu Yun, don't bully people too much. Although I am just a coastal defense guerrilla at the moment, I have 30,000 soldiers and thousands of ships. Everyone in the East China Sea will sell my face. If I force each other again, I don't mind fighting with you." Zheng Zhilong's face turned red and could no longer hold his face.

"What a big tone. Shibazhi said on the surface that there are more than a thousand ships, but many of them are small boats and fishing boats. There are only more than a hundred real big ships. It's okay to bully the Fujian Navy, the Zhejiang Navy." Chu Yun said, "Since you are here in person this time, let's settle the accounts."

"Come, bring Zheng Zhihu here." Chu Yun clapped his hands, and several naval soldiers pushed Zheng Zhihu, who was locked with iron chains, in.

"Brother!" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw Zheng Zhihu having iron chains on both hands and feet.

"Brother, you are still here..." Zheng Zhihu's eyes turned red when he saw Zheng Zhilong, "It was my fault this time that he lost the battle, which made the eldest brother passive."

"It's not your fault. I saw the fleet of the Fu Liao Army, which was exactly the same as what you said in your letter." Zheng Zhilong was moved to get up from the seat and untie the iron chain on Zheng Zhihu.

"What a deep brotherly love. If you want to save your brother, let's have a good talk with me." Chu Yun said, "Miyakoshi's plan to attack us is the idea that you Shibazhi came up with?"

"It's not about my brother's business, it's all planned by me!" Zheng Zhihu shouted.

"Chu Yun, the matter has happened, what's the use of pursuing it? Tell me your conditions and I want to exchange for my brother and the captured brother." Zheng Zhilong acted as if he was willing to be slaughtered.

"Since you are so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. There are three conditions in total. First, a ship we shipped to Annan Kingdom was detained by you, and you need to hand it over intact." Chu Yun said.

"It's hard. The ship was detained by Liu Xiang and his men. The cannons in the ship were divided up. It's harder to find them to come back than climbing the sky..." Zheng Zhilong said.

Cao, Liu Xiang dared to detain his ship. Chu Yun was a little angry: "If you can't hand over it, you need to compensate us for the losses in this trade."

Zheng Zhilong was silent for a moment: "If the amount is reasonable, I can ask Liu Xiang for a batch of silver and take out a batch of silver to compensate you."

"Second, in the future, whenever our ships from the Far East Trading Company of the Liao army pass through the East China Sea, we will not be charged cash. In exchange, if you go to Japan and Goryeo trade ships, our fleet of the Liao army will not change their ideas." Chu Yun said again.

"It's good to exempt each other, but the merchants who joined your Liao army's Far East Trading Company have more ships than we trade in the Beihai, and we suffer a lot." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Only trade ships that are officially operated by our Far East Trading Company can be exempted. What do you think? Of course, we only exempt ships that belong to you Shibazhi."

"That's OK."

"Third, you need to recognize that the Yaeshan Islands and even the entire Ryukyu Islands are under the jurisdiction of our Fu Liao Army. Shibazhi's fleet is not allowed to enter the Ryukyu Islands without permission."

"No problem." Zheng Zhilong nodded. Whoever has the final say on the sea has the biggest fist. Chu Yun controls the Yachongshan Islands. In this troublesome autumn, it is difficult for Shibazhi to organize a fleet to retake the Yachongshan Islands in a short period of time.

"fourth……"

"Wait, aren't there only three conditions? Why is it still fourth?" Zheng Zhilong looked confused.

"The fourth one is what I thought of temporarily. Do you have any objections? If you want to exchange these pirates, each person needs to pay a ransom of ten taels of silver, four or five hundred people, just make a whole number, five thousand taels of silver, you will make a lot of money."

"Sir General, you have to pay special attention to five thousand taels of silver..." Zheng Zhilong even despised Chu Yun's stinginess.

"Brother, more than a thousand of us have been captured by Chu Yun. He wants to transport most of us to southern Liaoning and southern Liaoning as coolies, and only return four or five hundred elderly, weak, sick and disabled to us!" Zheng Zhihu shouted from the side.

When Zheng Zhilong heard Zheng Zhihu say it, his face turned pale at Chu Yun.

"Ahem, I just took them back to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, not to kill their lives." Chu Yun said with a thick face, "We wanted to take your brother away, but he was your younger brother after all, so I gave it back to you."
