Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 272 Who is the traitor?
Why did Taichang and the court navy suddenly appear to block here? Didn't he take the fleet to the Zhejiang waters?
Not only Zheng Zhilong couldn't think of this, but maybe even the supernatural traitor couldn't think of it.

In fact, Taichang did not lead a navy fleet to the Zhejiang waters, but only a few Spike warships and more than a dozen chariots.

He led the navy fleet to hide among the archipelagos in the outermost waters of Fuzhou Prefecture, and then sent several Spike warships and more than ten wheeled boats to the Zhejiang waters, swaying back and forth along the coast every day, bluffing, and letting people I mistakenly thought that the imperial navy was over there.

Zheng Zhilong must have been anxious when he learned that his family had been arrested. Coupled with his cover-up, this guy was really fooled.

Now it's all right, as long as Zheng Zhilong is captured, it will be easy to encircle and suppress other pirates.

As for whether Zheng Zhilong would come to talk to him, he wasn't worried at all.

Because in this situation, Zheng Zhilong had no choice, if he didn't talk about it, he would be committing suicide!
Sure enough, the Spike Warship quickly brought Zheng Zhilong over.

Taichang sat there with a smile and waited, but Zheng Zhilong felt a little weak in his hands and feet.

It's not that he was so weak from running, he was so frightened by the strength of the court navy that his hands and feet became weak.

In the past, he only heard that the naval fleet led by the emperor did not use sails, was very fast, and had a lot of artillery.

Now that he had personally experienced the speed of a series of Spike warships, saw the artillery equipped on the Spike warships, and then looked at the number of Spike warships, he felt a little nervous.

My God, this is not only fast, it is frighteningly fast!
There is no wind at all at this moment, and this warship can sail as fast as a sailboat when the wind is down!
There are also the number of artillery, six for a ship, and six hundred for a hundred ships!

Moreover, they are all big guys.

He couldn't bear a hundred of these warships alone!
After he boarded the gunboat, he was even more frightened.

My God, there are probably three or four hundred people densely packed outside the three-story blockhouse, and each has a musket in his hand.

With this strength, even if there is no artillery in the blockhouse, they can still beat them to the ground!

There are three or four hundred muskets on a large ship gunboat, and there are only a few hundred muskets in his hands!

The imperial navy is so powerful, can he still dominate the Daming waters?

To be honest, he really didn't have much confidence at the moment.

This time, he was really frightened by the emperor, so when he saw Taichang, he did not hesitate to kneel down, kowtow respectfully: "The sinner pays homage to the emperor."

Taichang smiled and nodded, looked up and down again, then slightly raised his hand and said: "Get up."

He wanted to use this guy to deal with other pirates, but he would not let this guy's strength expand to the point that no one could rule him like Chongzhen.

Zheng Zhilong is not a good bird.

To put it bluntly, he is a profit-seeking businessman, and he is also very selfish!

In history, he joined Daming not to help Daming destroy other pirates, but to use the Daming navy to help him destroy other pirates, so that he can become the overlord of the Far East Sea, so that he can monopolize Daming's foreign trade, so that he can earn money. more money.

If that's all, that's all.

After all, whether he used the Ming court or the Ming court used him, the final result was to wipe out the other pirates.

This is not a bad thing for the Ming court.

The problem is that this guy is so selfish.

He used the Daming Navy to wipe out other pirates, thus becoming the overlord of the Far East Sea, monopolizing Daming's foreign trade, and earning more money than the Ming court's taxes in a year.

However, he did not donate one tael of silver to help Daming tide over the difficulties!

He also didn't send a single soldier to help Daming deal with Jiannu and wipe out the rebels.

He only cared about making money for himself and enjoying himself.

In the end, Chongzhen hanged himself, and Emperor Hongguang of Nanming was also finished. Emperor Longwu of Nanming was counting on him to recover Daming, but he was still unwilling to send troops.

It was useless for Emperor Longwu to beg him, so he just watched Emperor Longwu go to fight the Qing army himself and remained indifferent.

As a result, Emperor Longwu died, and he actually directly defected to the Qing court!
He thought it was a business, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Didn't he know that taking refuge in the Qing court was nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger.

Even his own son Zheng Chenggong couldn't stand his selfish and stupid behavior, and was so angry that he cried at the Confucius Temple and cut off his Confucian robe.

In the end, it was useless to persuade him, he was still sent up to be killed by the Qing court, and all relatives who followed him to surrender were all slaughtered!
Of course Taichang knew what Zheng Zhilong had done in history.

He is neither Emperor Chongzhen nor Emperor Longwu. This guy has no way to use him. He has a lot of ways to handle this guy.
After Zheng Zhilong got up, he pretended to look at it seriously, and then pretended to appreciate: "General Zheng is a good-looking talent, how can he become a bandit? Are you willing to submit to the court?"

I want to submit to the imperial court, but I don't think of such a method of submission!
At this time, Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to block him, so could he say he didn't want to?
He could only pretend to be excited and said: "The sinners want to! The sinners have always wanted to submit to the court, but they were afraid that what they did before would not be tolerated by the court. Now it's all right, the sinners finally got what they wanted, thank the emperor for not thinking about it." Accused, accept criminals."

Hmph, you're still pretending for me, do you think I'm so easy to deceive?
You like to pretend, don't you?
Come on, I'll pretend to be with you.

Taichang pretended to be overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Oh, General Zheng is here to vote, and the Daming Navy is just like a tiger with wings added! You can just be a guerrilla general of the Navy for now, don't worry, as long as you can lead the army to wipe out the pirates, I will definitely I will reward you for meritorious deeds, and I will give you an official title."

A guerrilla general is a guerrilla general.

Zheng Zhilong pretended to be grateful to Dade and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Hey, let's put it here for now.

The next step is to get down to business.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then solemnly said: "It can be said that everything is not going well when I lead the navy to the south this time. It seems that you have predicted all actions in advance. Do you think there is your internal response in the Fujian navy? Who should this be?"

Humph, that guy is not a good guy.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong doesn't have a good relationship with this insider, because this insider is as ambitious as him, and he is better than him at the moment!
Such a person, he will naturally get rid of.

Without hesitation, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Fujian navy indeed has our internal support, and this person is Xu Xinsu, admiral of the navy!"

Xu Xinsu, General of the Fujian Navy!
This guy seems to be Yu Zigao's right-hand man!
Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but solemnly said: "Is this really the person? Do you have evidence?"

Zheng Zhilong quickly explained: "Don't dare to lie to the emperor, the last general was originally a captain of the sea merchant Li Dan, and this Li Dan is the pirate leader Jiabidan that the court said, Xu Xinsu is Li Dan's sworn brother, Li Dan The seafood smuggled in the past was bought by Xu Xinsu."

Xu Xinsu turned out to be the sworn brother of the pirate leader Jiapidan!

Taichang couldn't help being surprised: "How did this kind of person get into the Fujian Navy, and how did he become a general?"

Zheng Zhilong said without hesitation: "I heard that a few years ago, when the eunuch party was in power, he used the name of his fellow townsman to bribe Wu Chunfu, the Minister of the Household Department, with a lot of money. Cooperating with Li Dan, he recruited Yang Lu and other pirates, and once again bribed Wu Chunfu to claim credit for him. With these so-called meritorious deeds, he quickly climbed to the position of admiral of the Navy. In fact, Yang Lu and other pirates are Li Dan It was given to him, those pirates are here to help him!"

Another eunuch!

Mrs. Wu Chun, you left me a disaster after you died!
It seems that Xu Xinsu is the spokesperson of the southeast interest group.

Taichang thought for a while and asked again: "The pirate Jiabidan seems to be dead, why do you still have contact with Xu Xinsu?"

Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a moment, but still confessed honestly: "Your Majesty, the last general also asked him to buy goods in the past, and later on, relying on his status as a naval admiral, he flourished, and his business grew bigger and bigger. The Dutch all came to the door and asked him to be a trade representative of Ming Dynasty, and we have to go through him if we want to do business with the Dutch, so we have been in touch with him.”

Fuck, this guy is also the trade representative of the Dutch!

The spokesperson of the southeast interest group could only be regarded as a national traitor at first, and the nature of this national traitor would be completely different if he added another character.

This guy is a traitor!

Such a traitor actually sneaked into the Fujian Navy, and even became a navy general!
Hearing this, Taichang gritted his teeth angrily.

He couldn't help snorting coldly: "Why does Yu Zigao, the commander of the Fujian Navy, treat him so highly? Did this guy also accept bribes from him?"

Zheng Zhilong said without hesitation: "This is for sure. The reason why Xu Xinsu was able to succeed in the Fujian Navy was because of money. After accepting his benefits, Yu Zigao is no exception."

Alas, this Yu Zigao is good at leading troops in battle, but his emotional intelligence is really low.

He didn't even think about it, why did people bribe him!
Yu Wuxiang's famous name, how did he cultivate such a fool!
In fact, he still overestimated Yu Dayou's EQ.

Yu Dayuna is indeed a master of martial arts, proficient in the art of war, illustrious in battle, and invincible.

However, when it comes to emotional intelligence, Yu Dayou is not generally low.

This guy has made a lot of military exploits, but his promotion is very slow, and he is often dismissed and investigated for no reason, and then commits crimes and meritorious deeds.

He didn't know how many times he was dismissed and investigated in his life.

As for the reason, it's actually very simple, it's because he has low EQ and doesn't know how to curry favor with his boss!

In this regard, Yu Zigao seems to be better than his father, at least he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy before he made any military achievements.

Yu Dayou worked hard to kill Japanese pirates and pirates for more than 20 years before he got the position of chief military officer.
