Ming Zuo

In the silent cabin bottom, the light was very faint.

In a messy corner, a person's limbs were tightly bound, his mouth was stuffed with a rag, and he couldn't move.

The person is sober.

There was anger, remorse, and deep uneasiness in his expression.

The sound of chaotic footsteps came in from outside, and soon stopped in front of his eyes.

A voice sounded.

"Detachment Captain, this guy doesn't eat or drink, and he doesn't say anything when asked, he just wants to die."

Hearing the sound, the man raised his head, looked at those soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, and roared with sobs, obviously cursing something.However, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't hear clearly at all.

Xia Guo's soldiers stepped aside to let a person walk to the front.

The man was also wearing Xia Jun's military uniform, and he slowly squatted down and moved closer.

The lights flickered for a while before the Xia Guo soldier's face became clear.

But seeing this face, the bound person immediately changed color and trembled all over.

The Xia Guo soldier also saw his face clearly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect, General Hong, that we would meet again."

The man's pupils were congested and his body was shaking violently, obviously his mood fluctuated greatly.

Xia Guojun didn't care, raised his hand and pulled out the cloth ball from his mouth.

The obstacle disappeared, and the man immediately cursed.

"Li Zhengwei, now that I'm in your hands, you can kill me if you want to cut me to pieces. I'll do whatever you want. If I frown, I'm not a hero. Don't even think about asking anything out of my mouth."

Xia Guo's officer looked as usual.

"General Hong, you should be clear that as long as you fall into the hands of our country Xia, it doesn't matter whether you are dead or alive. As for asking you something, is that necessary?"

The man's struggle stopped abruptly, and his face suddenly turned gray.

Just because he understands that what Xia Guojun said is very correct.

In his capacity, being caught by Xia Jun now, it can be said that he was stolen.

In this regard, Zheng's charges can no longer be cleared.

He relaxed his body dejectedly, and lost focus in his eyes.Obviously the death of the soul is greater than the death of the body.

"What? That pirate leader is Hong Xu from Shibazhili?"

Zhang Keda and Huang Fei walked back and forth excitedly, never expecting to catch a big fish.

A big fish enough to completely nail Zheng to death.

Li Zhengwei also kept smiling.

"When this subordinate served as Minister Zuo's adjutant, he had seen this person many times, and he would never admit his mistake."

Li Zhengwei's qualifications in Xia Guo's navy are very high.

He served Zuo Hua as an adjutant for several years, and after accumulating enough experience, he was released and became the captain of the third detachment of the Beihai Fleet.

This time Xia Guo's navy captured a suspicious pirate leader off the coast of Shimabara.

But this man's mouth is very tight, no matter how Xia Jun interrogates him, he just doesn't reveal his identity.

Zhang Keda guessed that this person must be a member of the Zheng family, and thought that Li Zhengwei had dealt with the Zheng family many times following Zuo Hua, so he might be able to know him.

Only then did Li Zhengwei be sent to identify him.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a big surprise.

In a small operation, Hong Xu, Zheng's right-hand man, was captured.

After knowing Hong Xu's identity, Zhang Keda finally understood why the remaining Zheng's pirates escaped so quickly.

Although many prisoners were captured in that battle, except for Hong Xu, the others were all small shrimps.

Although those people readily admitted their identities, it was not enough to be evidence.

Only core members of the Zheng family like Hong Xu, dead or alive, would be useful if they fell into Xia Guo's hands.

"Immediately report the situation here to the center, I believe His Highness must know what to do."

Although the North Sea Fleet had no way to participate in the battle against the Zheng family, Zhang Keda was still very happy to have captured such good evidence.

Perhaps God is to reward his hard work.

Just when he had just sent someone back to the center, the command from the high command arrived first.

There is no other content, only about Dongying.

When Xia Guo learned that Dongying had invaded the Chinese vassal state Ryukyu, he decided not to give up.

The High Command asked the North Sea Fleet to immediately reorganize its troops and horses, and be ready to use troops against Japan at any time.

They didn't win the battle with Zheng's, but ended up fighting Dongpu, which made everyone in the Beihai Fleet very happy.

How can Zheng's strength compare with that of Dongpu?
Especially during the Jiajing period, the Japanese pirates in Dongying caused great disasters, and everyone hated Dongying deeply.They will seize any opportunity to attack Japan.

The preparations for the center are not only the North Sea Fleet, but also the First Marine Division.

Once it is necessary to use troops against Japan, it is definitely not just a naval battle.Xia Guo has made up his mind to carry out an in-depth military strike against Japan.

After the war, Xia Kingdom began to run rapidly again.

Fujian.

When Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhiwan, who came back together, told the story, Zheng Zhilong knew that the matter had been exposed.

Maybe it won't be long before Xia Guo's crusade will come.

"The matter has come to this, there is no other way. Let the brothers get busy, let's act first."

Zheng Zhilong has grown from penniless to a giant in the East China Sea, and what he lacks most is a ruthless heart.

Now that the trouble has reached the point of endless death, he will not have any mercy.

During this period of time, the friction between the Zheng family and Xia Guo became more and more severe, and the people of the Zheng family could not bear it long ago.

With the order to start the war, everyone mustered up their strength and began to prepare.

"Father, you must never be an enemy of Xia Guo. The strength of Xia Guo is far beyond that of my Zheng family. In a war, the Zheng family will definitely be wiped out. Why not join hands with Xia Guo, abandon the small gains in front of you, and gain the great benefits of the world. Achieve eternal fame?"

Hearing the news that the Zheng family was about to go to war, Zheng Chenggong was very anxious.

He ran over, knelt down in front of Zheng Zhilong, begged, and told the pros and cons, hoping that the father would be more sober.

But seeing the dissatisfied eyes of all the generals, Zheng Zhilong had no choice.

And he was very annoyed that Zheng Chenggong actually boosted other people's ambitions and destroyed his own prestige.

"Hmph, I, Zheng Zhilong, started from scratch and won such a great fortune. How many powerful enemies have died at my hands? Although Xia Guo is strong, what are you afraid of? As my son, you don't give advice for me, but your heart is for the enemy. Great treason, disloyalty and filial piety."

Zheng Chenggong seemed to have seen the scene of blood and fire spreading, and could not help but burst into tears.

"My child is just concerned about my father and uncles, so I don't want you to kill yourself. What's more, the Zheng family's actions can be said to be self-styled, disregarding the righteousness of the country and the nation. For the Zheng family, this battle is unreasonable, unrighteous, and immoral. Naturally, there is no chance of winning.”

His generous statement was exchanged for Zheng Zhilong's fury.

Just because he completely uncovered Zheng's pirate essence, Zheng Zhilong couldn't get down at all.

"Well, I didn't expect that I would raise a traitor. Someone, take him down and keep him under strict supervision. Don't let him out without my order."

"Father……"

Zheng Chenggong was confused.

No matter what, he never expected that Zheng Zhilong would regard him as a traitor.

Doesn't this father understand his painstaking efforts?

He wanted to say something, but it was too late.Several guards rushed in, held him firmly, and dragged him outside.

Zheng Zhilong was so angry that he didn't notice that there was an imperceptible smug flash of Zheng Cai's mouth in the corner beside him.
