please make me king

"Sinners Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao, I greet His Highness King Shun, His Highness is a thousand years old!" In the government office of Ningbo, the Zheng family, one dragon and one leopard, prostrated themselves in front of Zhang Shun.

"Two, hurry up!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but said happily, "Now is the time to employ people, and with the help of the two of you, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"

"Uh..." Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao got up one after another, and sat down obliquely.

It was Zheng Zhilong who explained somewhat embarrassingly: "My younger brother Zheng Zhifeng has a strange heart, blindly loyal to the previous dynasty, and led some of the navy to go to Guangzhou."

"The guilty minister tried his best to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him. Please punish him, Your Highness!"

"Hey, everyone has their own aspirations, why force it?" Zhang Shun laughed when he heard the words.

It turned out that due to limited strength, Zhang Shun thought that he could win Hangzhou and Ningbo by himself, and he had reached his limit.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tinglin led 500 people, followed Ban Dingyuan's example, killed Lu Wang Zhu Yihai, and forced Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao to surrender.

It didn't matter if the two voted, Jin Huaxu also voted happily, seeing that the general situation was over.

Once these two forces voted, there was no longer a single soldier in Zhejiang to resist, so the famous "Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai free shipping area" fell into the hands of the rebels.

As for Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Cai, no one thought that they would rather not leave Guangzhou than join the rebel army.

However, at any rate, half of the Zheng family's navy was left behind, and Zhang Shun didn't regret it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but ordered: "Since this is the case, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao will go forward to receive the seal. You and others will bring more than a hundred boats, tens of thousands of young men, hundreds of officials, and you will have meritorious service."

"Zheng Zhilong Jin An Nanhou, in charge of the post of admiral of the Southeast Navy, Yin's eldest son Zheng Sen is in command."

"At the beginning, Zheng Zhibao was awarded the title of General of Zhen Guo, leading the post of General Army of Zhejiang Province."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao were overjoyed when they heard the words, and quickly thanked them.

Although both Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao are one level lower than the previous positions of "Nanming", they are much better than being defeated and killed.

Not to mention that "Nanming" can't even pay the military salary, so where can he have a salary?
Let's say that Zhang Shunfeng rewarded the two of them. Seeing that it was still early, he ordered Dong Xiaowan and other women to cook some meals and entertain them as a show of favor.

Then Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao have been wandering at sea all year round, and later held high positions. What kind of food haven't they eaten?

However, since it was Zhang Shun's banquet, the two readily accepted it.

After everyone ate a little food and drank a few cups of rice wine, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help talking more.

"Your Highness, don't laugh, to tell the truth, it's unbelievable that Zheng can come to such a point!" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help bragging.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhang Shun stretched out his hand to offer a toast, and asked like a curious baby.

"Your Highness doesn't know something." Zheng Zhilong gulped it down and continued, "I am originally from Nan'an, Fujian. When I was young, my family was struggling, so I had no choice but to go to Haojing to join my uncle."

"Although fish and eyes are mixed there, I am like a fish in water."

"There I not only believed in the teachings of Folangji people, but also learned the languages ​​of Folangji, Hongmaofan, and Waguo."

"Ah, I didn't expect Marquis Nan'an to be a genius!" Zhang Shun couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

It's no wonder that he learned the so-called "Far Western Language" before, but after studying it for so long, he was still a half-baked.

In the end, he didn't expect to meet a talented person who could speak multiple languages, and he couldn't help but admire him.

"Hey, it's too much, Your Highness is too high!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly humbled himself before laughing, "Actually, Your Highness doesn't know something."

"Although these Fulangji people all have the same name, they are not from the same country, nor do they use the same language."

"One of them is called Ezebania, and the other is called Poldugal."

"Oh?" Who doesn't know this, isn't it Spain and Portugal? Zhang Shun laughed when he heard the words, but said nothing.

It turned out that since he invaded the city of Beijing, he ordered all the girls to look up the information for him.

It doesn't matter this time, but let them dig out a copy of "The Complete Map of Kun Yu Wan Guo".

Although this map is extremely abstract, there are many fallacies in it.

However, based on Zhang Shun's comparison of his memory of the world map in his previous life, he discovered many similarities and differences between ancient and modern terms.

For example, the area around Italy is called Italia, the area around France is called França, the area around England is called Mangania, while Spain and Portugal are called Ezebania and Portugal respectively.

Although this knowledge is not new to Zhang Shun, it shows Zheng Zhilong's understanding of Europe.

So Zhang coaxed him to continue talking by the way.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong was well-informed, and he told Zhang Shun the customs of Japan, Luzon, Siam, Sumatra and other places, which made Zhang Shun fascinated.

Of course, according to Zhang Shun's experience in his previous life, although he has never been to these places, he does not have much yearning for them.

He listened and listened, only one word "qian" came out of his ears.

The maritime trade that was originally in charge of by the Zheng family has a trade volume of about 3000 to [-] million taels of silver a year, and its annual income is about more than [-] million taels.

If Zhang Shun's expectation is not bad, if the "red-haired fans" are expelled and the trade in East Asia and Southeast Asia is completely monopolized, the trade income in one year will reach as much as 500 million.

That doesn't seem like much money, does it?

In fact, after Zhang Shun took over the Daming Center, he discovered that the actual amount of silver collected and transported to the capital was less than 200 million taels each year, while the annual expenditure ranged from 2000 million to [-] million.

In other words, if there is no accident, Chongzhen will have to bear a deficit of at least 200 million taels of silver every year.

This is also the fundamental reason why, after Zhang Shun occupied the capital, except for the extremely important Liaodong, he hardly used large-scale troops.

Two words, no money!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun said with a smile: "Marquis of Nan'an made a small fuss earlier, it's nothing. If I follow my king's mind, keep his wealth!"

"Your Highness is joking!" Zheng Zhilong immediately became unconvinced when he heard Zhang Shun's words, "The criminals started in the humble beginnings, and have traveled all over the world for many years. How can it be nothing to develop such an industry?"

"Let's not talk about others, let's talk about Japan first!" Zhang Shun said with a smile, "We are going to trade with sincerity, but it is really hateful to have a red seal ship and restrict the entry and exit of Chinese merchant ships."

"If you are willing to cooperate with the king, the king will set up a navy with the Ministry of War, build thousands of large ships, pay tribute to customs, and blame them for not being ministers."

"It's called opening the door of the country and trading with me. It's not a problem to earn a few years."

"As for Siam, Sanfoqi, Sumatra and other places, there is nothing to be afraid of. First, we will use soldiers, and then we will use boats, and then we will set up three propaganda and six comforts. The exchange and trade can reach tens of millions."

"Replicating huge ships, traveling across the oceans, connecting North and South America in the east, and Europe in the west, and so on.

"To dominate the world like this, to trade all over the world, and to increase profits so much, what is the current figure of 300 million?"

Zhang Shun's words made Zheng Zhilong's blood boil immediately.

As the saying goes: "He can come, I can go", since small countries like "Isaiba" and "Pordugar" can travel across the ocean, can't I be the only one in China?
If it really is as King Shun said, hegemony over the world, trade all over the world, future generations, the karma of all ages!
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help leaving his seat, bowed deeply and said: "Zheng was born in a humble family, and he has a lot of ambition."

"Now that I see Your Highness, I will know how the firefly competes with the sun and the moon!"

"In the future, Your Highness will drive away, and Zheng will do whatever he wants. I hope that he can travel across the world and dominate the world as His Highness said. Such a famous name in history, this life is enough!"
