The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 537
Shi Daxuan glanced at him quietly, signaling him to stop talking, and Zheng Zhibao even pulled his clothes from behind.

Shi Yong and Shi Fu have a good relationship, and they probably want to stand up for Shi Yong.

"What do you want me to do, did I say something wrong?" Shi Fu said dissatisfied.

Zheng Zhilong said with a straight face, "If you want to sit here, just talk."

Shi Fu was taken aback for a moment, then heaved a long sigh secretly, not daring to say anything else, so he could only sit down sullenly.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Zheng Zhilong looked at everyone: "Everyone talk about it, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do." Zheng Zhiwan murmured first: "Of course, when they are both hurt, they will be destroyed together."

"Inappropriate." Someone said loudly, it was Hong Xu, Zheng Zhilong's number one general in the future.

"What's wrong there?" Shi Yong and Zheng Zhiwan looked at him together.

Shi Fu glared at him even more.

Hong Xu glanced at Zheng Zhilong.

"Hong Xu, tell me, don't worry, I called everyone here today to listen to everyone's opinions, and then let's discuss it and make the best choice." Zheng Zhilong said.

Hong Xu thought for a while, then slowly said: "Ding Yi once sent a letter, asking us to attack the Dutch together."

"His reasons are actually quite good. Putting it on the table, it is also for the country and the people."

"We didn't agree, we've already fallen behind. If we sneak attack from behind, destroy his navy, and spread the word, what will the world say about us? How does the imperial court treat us?" Hong Xu looked at everyone when he said this: " We are no longer pirates, you are all court generals."

Many people at the scene nodded, and Zheng Zhifeng also nodded. In history, he later won the first martial arts examination and became the commander of Jinyiwei. He also wanted to be a court official, and of course he did not want to be a pirate.

Shi Fu couldn't help but said again: "Ding Yi is a wolf with ambition and self-respect. Emperor Chongzhen is very afraid of him. If we destroy his navy, the emperor will thank us."

Hong Xu said again: "According to what you said, if we can destroy Ding Yi, wouldn't the emperor be more afraid of us?"

"..." Shi Fu.

Zheng Zhifeng also said: "It's all a matter of catching wind and shadows. If I were Ding Yi, I would do the same thing. If the emperor asked an official to move to Shanxi, would you go there?"

Zheng Zhilong thought to himself, of course I won't go, my special mother spent several 10 taels to build a big villa in Nan'an, and I went to Shanxi to dry hair.

If you don't go, you will support your own self-respect, and the civil servant will definitely say that about you.

Everyone at the scene took one emperor at a time, and they had no respect for Chongzhen.

"Think clearly, after this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy Ding Yi Navy in the future." Shi Fu said coldly.

Hong Xu hurriedly said: "Don't keep thinking about destroying his navy, he is really good at Buying."

"We really want to turn against him. He can bring a [-]-step battalion ashore. How can we stop him? Are we going to go back to the sea and become pirates?"

"Does he have 1 horses?" Shi Daxuan asked strangely.

"We met him a few years ago, and he has four or five thousand dollars. I heard that he mobilized more than 1 people to fight against North Korea." Zheng Zhilong said with certainty: "A businessman from North Korea sent news that Ding Yi was hiding from the court. , didn’t report so many soldiers, otherwise Chongzhen wouldn’t be so afraid of him.”

"He has ulterior motives and disobedience, you have to guard against him as an official," Shi Fu said again.

"Who doesn't raise soldiers in this world, we still have [-] soldiers and horses." Zheng Zhiwan said with a smile.

Ten thousand soldiers and horses call disobedience, what are we?
Shi Fu rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to these people anymore.

He felt that these military generals were all stupid, and it was terrible that they were uneducated.

Zheng Zhifeng hated Shi Yong more than Zheng Zhilong before, thinking that if Shi Yong hadn't messed up, Zheng Zhihu would not have died.

Zheng Zhifeng also asked Shi Yong face to face, did Ding Yi kill your mother?Are you going to have trouble with him?
Shi Yong asked back then: "Liu Bang killed Fan Zeng's mother, why did Fan Zeng insist on killing Liu Bang?"

Zheng Zhifeng laughed, do you think you are Fan Zeng?

"We are all generals of the Ming Dynasty, can we be compared with that meeting?"

Shi Yong asked: "Now Ding Yi has done business with the shogunate and royal family in Japan and North Korea. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Did I do something wrong?"

Zheng Zhifeng said again: "We rely on sending out flags now, Ding Yi can't catch up even if he dies."

Shi Yong said again: "Ding Yi has more and more money and more and more warships. How do you know if they will also issue flags in a few years."

"At that time, they will also issue flags to collect money, what should we do?"

After Zheng Zhifeng heard it, she felt that it made sense.

In fact, most people at the scene felt that Shi Yong was reasonable, but they couldn't accept him doing this.

The main reason is that Shi Yong's ideas are too far ahead.

It's like, in the early period of the Three Kingdoms, when Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu directly persuaded Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei.

Xun Yu and Liu Bei didn't have any revenge for killing their father. He just saw that Liu Bei was not a thing and would be a main opponent.

But Guo Jia persuaded him.

At that time, Cao Cao probably didn't expect that Liu Bei would stand up against him in the future, just like Zheng Zhilong and his subordinates now, they would think about decades later.

If Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei would be able to fight against him in the future, he would definitely kill Liu Bei with a single blow, and if it was not good enough, he would be under house arrest for the rest of his life.

So no matter in that era, people with too advanced thinking usually cannot be accepted by normal people.

Shi Yong thinks too much, maybe it also represents the members of the Shi family, and hopes that Zheng Zhilong can also do a great job in the future.

It's a pity that Zheng Zhilong only wants to be a peacemaker.

At this time, his subordinates, represented by the Shi family, wanted to make trouble. After Ding Yi and the Dutch fought, they would first destroy the two departments and then seize the big ones.

The other part requires that the two do not help each other, and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

There was only Hong Xu in the field, and he strongly demanded that he and Ding Yi kill the Dutchman first.

Hong Xu has both ability and political integrity, he is the only one beside Zheng who can be regarded as a real good general, but it is a pity that his surname is neither Zheng nor Shi.

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "Tell Ding Yi's people that we will waive the fees for the rest of this year. We support him in fighting the Dutchman."

"Damn it." Shi Fu slapped the table and walked out angrily.

Hong Xu was also a little disappointed, sighed, sullen.

After Zheng Zhilong waited for him to leave, he looked at the people around him, and said slowly: "We also need to practice the infantry well. If we want to live in Fujian with peace of mind, we can't do without elite infantry."

Everyone looked serious and nodded.

"Hong Xu, I see that the soldiers and horses in your battalion are the most elite. From now on, our infantry battalion will be trained by you."

"No." Hong Xu said loudly.

Shi Fu returned to his home angrily, and Shi Yong was indeed waiting for him.

"How to say?" Shi Yong asked anxiously: "Will an official send out troops?"

"What a bird." Shi Fu murmured, "Ding Yi will also be exempted from the flag fee for the next few months."

"Damn it." Shi Yong yelled, "Zheng Zhilong was deceived by lard."

Shi Fu shook his head, even he felt that now is the best time, usually they and Ding Yi are soldiers of the imperial court, it is inconvenient to fight each other.

Now that the Dutch are coming, if you take the opportunity to attack, you can push it on the Dutch.

If you miss this opportunity, you really can't find a better one.

Shi Fu thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "We can't keep persuading an official like this, it will only make him disgusted. If he listens to people's persuasion, he is no longer an official."

In history, many people around Zheng Zhilong were unwilling to surrender to the Qing army, and could not be persuaded. He just refused to listen to persuasion, even his son Zheng Chenggong could not be persuaded.

"What do you say? You have a solution?" Shi Yong asked.

"You are in charge of the accounts. You have to figure out how to do it. How much money did you make from Japan and North Korea last year? You have to talk to an official and compare it with before."

"Pick out Yiguan and Ding Yi, you can't do it too directly, you have to be cruel to kill people, do you understand?"

Shi Yongruo thought for a while, and smiled on his face: "Since Ding Yi conquered the shogunate, our business in Hirado has plummeted."

"Last year, Japan and North Korea earned less than 20 yuan."

"In the seventh year of Chongzhen, there were 120 million."

"That's the end of it." Shi Fu said with a smile.
