Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei waited in this manor in Zhanjiang for about three days, and the two brothers Zheng Zhilong rushed over from Guangzhou.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong saw Zhong Jinwei, he said excitedly: "Duke, when can we set off for intercourse?"

Seeing him like this, Zhong Jinwei knew that Zheng Zhilong must be thinking about the fact that the Dutch had blackmailed his huge fleet back then.Now that he has the opportunity, he can justifiably take revenge, so he is naturally excited.

He shook his head with a smile and said, "No hurry, you can listen to the specific situation first before talking about it."

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.It's an old world, and it's still so exciting.So, he obediently listened to Zhong Jinwei's instructions, and Liu Xingzuo introduced him to the previously agreed plan.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Zheng Zhilong's lack of concentration. You must know that the previous fleet was owned by Zheng Zhilong after working hard for half his life and exhausting all means.Unexpectedly, he was bullied by the Dutch joint pirates, and almost gave his life at sea.

Why didn't Zheng Zhilong remember this revenge, and didn't think that one day he would be able to personally take revenge on the Dutch.

It's just that after he was imprisoned, he couldn't help himself, and he was under the control of the court ever since.Even though it was a coincidence, coupled with his own hard work, he could still get along well in court.But there has been no chance to lead the fleet alone and cross the sea.

Now that Duke Xingguo gave him such an opportunity, of course he was overjoyed and extremely happy.

However, he is worthy of being an old Jianghu. After listening to Liu Xingzuo's proposal, based on some of his own experience, he made some appropriate modifications.

After the discussion was over, it was already evening, and it was almost dark.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't care about the weather, and asked Zhong Jinwei directly: "Master, the fleet's supplies were already replenished when they were in Guangzhou. It's not too late. In the end, we will go south to Jiaozhi and follow the plan?"

Zhong Jinwei originally thought that it was getting late, so he asked Zheng Zhilong and his brothers to wait until early tomorrow morning before setting off.But now he himself proposed to leave overnight, and Zhong Jinwei had no objection.

He looked at Zheng Zhilong, and promised him: "Okay, be careful all the way, and wait for your good news."

"The last general will leave." Zheng Zhilong clasped his fists and said when he saw that the Duke agreed to his request.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu walked out of the lobby with their heads held high.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Zheng Zhilong's aura as he walked out, and remembered his performance following him along the way, and couldn't help but praise: "This is Fei Huang's true nature!"

If it was changed to Jin Yiwei who was born in a normal way, he might have some complaints about the words of the Duke.But Liu Xingzuo did not, because he himself had the experience of serving Jianlu, which is almost the same as Zheng Zhilong's experience of being a pirate.

Therefore, Liu Xingzuo echoed Zhong Jinwei and said: "He has been on the sea for many years, and now he is taking the initiative to attack again, and he will definitely return in triumph."

Starting from this day, Zhong Jinwei's focus shifted to the matter of Jiaozhi.Regarding the battle situation in Cochin, there are clippers sent to this manor every few days.

As Zhong Jinwei expected, in the battle of Jiaozhi, because the Dutch provided firearms, they suddenly appeared on the battlefield and broke the deadlock.

But Cochin has a lot of rain, and the air is always wet.Therefore, the arquebus provided by the Dutch was very limited.This gave the Zheng family in the north a chance to take a breather. Although they couldn't beat the Ruan family in the south, they wouldn't be completely defeated.

As the fighting fronts of the two sides gradually moved to the north, the Zheng family in the north became anxious.He suffered from firearms, so he was even more eager to own Daming's flintlock.

For this reason, he summoned the Ming businessman every few days and asked him to provide the flintlock gun as soon as possible, and the price was negotiable.Even the food can be delivered first, just ask the flintlock to arrive sooner.

Before this situation emerged, Zhong Jinwei had sent people to urge the delivery of the flintlock guns, telling them to speed up and rush to Guangzhou.

No one dared to be sloppy with Xing Guogong's order.The flintlock was escorted day and night, and finally arrived in Guangzhou within the date scheduled by Zhong Jinwei, and was handed over to Shibosi.

Zhong Jinwei counted the time, and when he felt that it was about the same time, he sent a batch of flintlock guns to Cochin, and then waited for the situation to change.

During this waiting process, the first batch of grain from Nanyang arrived in Guangzhou by a ship with three bows and three hundred materials.

These grains come from the Nanyang side contacted by Zheng Zhilong, which is surprising and reasonable at the same time.

The people Zheng Zhilong knew would not be too powerful no matter what.The letter was sent by Zheng Zhilong, which is more trustworthy. The speed of this food delivery will be much higher than the other two insurances.

After receiving the first batch of grain, Zhong Jinwei ordered the two granaries reserved in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to send grain to Liaodong immediately.The grain obtained in Guangzhou was transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.In this way, the speed is almost doubled.

Naturally, those Nanyang people were not disappointed, and got the promised firearms.Although relatively small, it can greatly enhance their force.Therefore, before leaving, he patted his chest and promised that more food would be shipped soon.

Once this thing is done at the beginning, it will be smoother later.Zhong Jinwei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw the food.

Within a few days, the grain that the Zheng family in the north of Jiaozhi exchanged for flintlock guns had arrived in Daming territory, and the amount of grain was much larger.Still in accordance with the old rules, the grain is transported in a relay way.

Since then, food in Southeast Asia began to flow to Daming in the next few years, from trickling streams to endless rivers.

And the situation in Southeast Asia, with the continuous influx of Ming weapons, has also become weird and unpredictable.

Many forces in Nanyang, with force in their hands, always want to take advantage of others; or if they have confidence in their hearts, they don't want to be controlled by others.

A few days ago, he was as docile as a sheep, but in the blink of an eye he could turn into a wolf dog and come up to bite him fiercely; the two forces that were originally like brothers suddenly met each other with swords and guns overnight.

Among the powers in Southeast Asia, on the whole, Xiyi had the upper hand at the beginning, but as time passed, the power of pirates began to rise.Some pirates even went ashore and captured castles, and began to dominate them.

Over the next few years, Southeast Asia was a mess.On the other hand, Da Ming hid aside, quietly making money on the battlefield.

Of course, these are all for later.

Less than half a month after the news of the change in the Cochin battle came, Zheng Zhilong sent the news.

In the early hours of the morning, he used fireboat raids and successfully ignited two Dutch warships.Then the three warships came out together, and the battle ended in less than a quarter of an hour, before even the Jiaozhi people on the shore could react.

Not only that, Zheng Zhilong also asked the Ruan family in the south of Cochin that Ming's enemies would be punished no matter how far away they were.Ask Ruan to hand over the Dutch on the shore to him, otherwise he will become an enemy of Daming.
