Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1221
Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the flagship ship, watching the scene on the pier with a hint of complacency on the corner of his mouth.The scene I arranged casually, the effect looks very good!

The grasp of human nature, how to use it to stimulate people's hearts and arouse other people's greed, this kind of thing, to Zheng Zhilong, is really just a pediatric thing, don't be too good at it.Otherwise, Li Kuiqi was much stronger than him when he fought for hegemony in the South China Sea.As a result, in the end, it was he who used the greed of the human heart to poach Li Kuiqi's subordinates and divide his strength, thus defeating Li Kuiqi in the decisive battle.If it wasn't for the emperor wanting to use Li Kuiqi and changing Li Zhiqi's name for him, it is estimated that there will be no ashes now.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was just observing the situation at the pier.To make this matter a longer-term topic of conversation and spread more widely, the current crowd of onlookers is not enough.

After thinking about it for a while, he had another idea in his mind, so he asked Liu Jinsheng, "I decided to disclose the points at the pier. What do you think?"

"As you like!" Liu Jinsheng sneered indifferently when he heard this, "I'm sorry you don't dare to be greedy!"

Liu Jinsheng stayed by Zheng Zhilong's side just to monitor him.If he was caught in the wrong place, he would not be relentless, and he would immediately report to the emperor to avenge his past.

Of course, he doesn't know whether there are other Jinyiwei like him beside Zheng Zhilong, and neither does Zheng Zhilong.Therefore, no one dares to do wrong things!

Zheng Zhilong was no stranger to Liu Jinsheng's attitude long ago. Seeing his reaction now, he knew that Liu Jinsheng hadn't reacted, and he didn't bother to explain, so he ordered to open all the boxes at the pier for counting, and publicized the apparent intention .

If you really want to know about these silver dollars, there is actually another way, which is to weigh them.But Zheng Zhilong insisted on dismantling all the silver coins and putting them away.There is no doubt that this approach is to implement the emperor's will in another way.

As for the money being exposed, I am not worried that those Ming people who are watching will go to grab it.You know, the pier is full of soldiers. If anyone dares to snatch it, it is impossible for the pier to get out.

So, not long after, an officer stepped forward and announced loudly: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that all the silver dollars seized this time will now be counted, and no one shall be greedy for a single silver dollar!"

Then, amidst the astonishment of the onlookers, a famous soldier stepped forward, opened the box, and dumped all the silver dollars on the open space.One box after another, the crash of silver dollars resounded in the port of Manila and in the hearts of every onlooker.

Not long after, a mountain of silver, under the shining of the sun, was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes.The crowd of onlookers had already suffocated, only the sound of heavy breathing sounded one after another, and another movement was played in this port!
I don't know how long it was silent, and suddenly heard a voice coming from behind, with a little haste and a little anxiety.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, King Yi is here!"

King Yi is here?When everyone heard this, they turned around and saw that it was King Yi's car, coming in a hurry.

Looking at it like this, if you don't avoid it, you may bump into it.

So, regardless of whether these onlookers were willing or not, they all made way out of the way and greeted King Yi at the same time.

On the bow of the flagship ship, Zheng Zhilong had already seen Yi Wang's car rushing towards this side.No need to ask, think about it with your toes, you know that Yi Wang came to the pier in such a hurry, nine out of ten it was for this pile of silver.

Sure enough, King Yi's car arrived in a hurry, and stopped abruptly when it reached the edge of Yinshan Mountain.As soon as the car stopped, King Yi got out of the car and stood on the shaft, his eyes were attracted by the mountain of silver dollars.

Well, another pair of eyes are bright and blind!

After a long while, King Yi came back to his senses, his face was full of greed and excitement, and he jumped out of the car immediately regardless of the prince's etiquette, walked quickly to the side of "Silver Mountain", and asked quickly Said: "These silver dollars were sent to Luzon by the Spaniards, right?"

Before the officer at the scene could answer, he said hastily: "Now Gu is the owner of Luzon, so these silver dollars are Gu, right?"

The officer was very speechless, thinking in his heart, although you are a feudal lord, at least you should show some face, and even said that these silver dollars are yours!

But on the surface, of course he would not answer like this, but replied in a business-like manner: "Your Highness, this matter is not up to the subordinate officials to decide, and the subordinate officials are only ordered to count the silver dollars!"

The soldiers on this pier all belong to the Southeast Navy of the Ming Dynasty, under Zheng Zhilong's command, not Yiguo's.In fact, Yiguo's army is still pitifully small, and it can only protect the palace.As for the others, the Ming army is responsible for guarding them.Therefore, after the officer finished answering, he continued to perform his duties, shouting loudly, telling his subordinates not to count wrongly, not to steal, otherwise the military law will do something.

King Yi also knew that this petty official could not be in charge, if possible, he just wanted to take the money and run away without asking.

Although he is expensive as a feudal king, the money accumulated from generation to generation is basically used up after he becomes a feudal prince.Now attracting local merchants from Ming Dynasty to trade, it is extremely short of silver.With so much money piled up in front of him now, it would be strange not to be jealous!

"Go, help Gu and invite Marshal Zheng here!" King Yi stared at the glistening Yinshan without turning his head, and shouted loudly to his subordinates.

Before his subordinate could answer, he heard a joyful voice beside him: "No need to invite, the last general has already arrived. The last general has met His Royal Highness King Yi!"

In name, after all, the vassal king is big, so Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to come over to greet him.

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's voice, King Yi couldn't help being overjoyed, he quickly looked up, and sure enough he saw Zheng Zhilong coming in front of him, clasped his fists and bowed to him.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" When King Yi saw it, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Marshal Zheng has worked hard!"

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers knew it clearly.King Yi is here to grab money, and I don't know how much money he can grab?This is really a pie in the sky, it is really a dream to wake up laughing!
If it were said that all the money belonged to King Yi, they would not believe it anyway.But what they are curious about is that King Yi is here, how much money will he take away?
When they were thinking this way, they really heard King Yi's idea of ​​using these silver coins: "Since these silver coins were sent to Luzon by the Spaniards. Now that they are the king of Luzon alone, then this silver coin is lonely. , What does Marshal Zheng think?"

In fact, he also knew that it was unrealistic to come here by himself and take all the money for himself.But he also thought about it, asking for the price first, and then paying back the money on the spot. After doing this, at least he can get some more silver dollars!
Unexpectedly, before Zheng Zhilong had time to speak, Liu Jinsheng beside him had already said coldly: "This matter has been reported to the emperor, and the emperor has a decree, and all the people and silver dollars will be escorted to the Governor's Mansion of Fuzhou!"

Upon hearing this, King Yi's smile immediately froze on his face.He cursed in his heart, why so fast?What are you doing so quickly?You guys like to flatter the emperor so much, why do you want to rush to reincarnate for such a little thing, and report it so quickly, is it interesting?

At this moment, he suddenly hated this chat group very much.If it weren't for the chat group, it would be impossible for the emperor far away in the capital to know about this. Even if he couldn't get all of it, he might be able to get some after discussing it with Zheng Zhilong later.This damn chat group, really damn it!
Although he was cursing in his heart, he didn't dare to ask Emperor Chongzhen for money in the chat group.If you make the emperor unhappy, just say a word, your life will be sad!However, with so much money, he didn't have his own share. King Yi felt that he was suffering in his heart!

Zheng Zhilong seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the capture of the last general, and it will naturally belong to the imperial court. But in the future, after the last general withdraws, if the Spaniards send silver dollars to the door, it will naturally be His Highness." All the captured items will belong to His Highness!"

Upon hearing this, King Yi opened his mouth wide. What else is there to say?Are you stupid?In the future, Yiguo has the power to protect itself, and the imperial army withdraws. It is not known what happened in the Year of the Monkey.At that time, how could the Spaniards still send silver dollars over!

Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest, and immediately replied to Zheng Zhilong: "Marshal Zheng really knows how to joke, how could the Spaniards send money here!"

What he meant was that the Spaniards would definitely find out that there was something wrong with Luzon in the future, so it would be impossible to send money over.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't know whether it was a real misunderstanding or a fake misunderstanding, so he replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will hear that there is real gold and silver in Mexico. Otherwise, in the past, these Spanish How can people bring silver dollars to Luzon every year?"

When he said this, when he said that "there is real gold and silver in Mexico", he bit it very clearly and said it more emphatically.At the same time, he glanced around and found that many people's eyes were extraordinarily bright at this moment.

After hearing this, King Yi sighed in his heart, no matter how much gold and silver mountains there are in Mexico, what does it matter to him?Thinking of this, he reluctantly glanced at the hill of silver dollars piled up again, and finally forgot the politeness, turned around in a little silence, got in the car and drove back to the palace.

It doesn't matter how much money there is, it belongs to the emperor, and it's better to keep it out of sight!

As soon as King Yi left, the crowd of onlookers started whispering again.Some talked about King Yi, and some talked about Mexico.

For the Ming people who were originally in Luzon, they had heard a little about the things in Mexico.And there is another point. In the past, the Spaniards used various methods such as cheating and abducting. The Yunming people went to Mexico to publicize it, which is naturally good.It is said that Mexico is full of treasures, as long as you go there, you can make a fortune.Of course, what do some people think? When someone said they came to Luzon, didn’t they mean that there are treasures everywhere, and if you come here, you can get rich?
No matter what, these similar words were uttered by others, together with the hills piled up of silver dollars in front of them, what Marshal Zheng said, corroborated with each other, invisibly increased many people's yearning for Mexico.

It was not until sunset that a lot of manpower was spent to count the silver dollars.During this process, those Ming people who had nothing important to do were watching all the time.And those who have to leave because of something, they also leave reluctantly, and then take the news to a farther place, attracting more people to watch.

In any case, the people here in Manila, Luzon, can be regarded as a feast for the eyes!
After that day, the topic of the Yinyuan Mountain became a topic of conversation in Luzon after dinner. For a long time, some people still talked about it with relish.After all, there is a lot of money, Marshal Zheng, and King Yi have all appeared.

For Zheng Zhilong, he perfectly fulfilled the will of the emperor, and after he sent people to send away these people and the silver dollars, his attention was still focused on the situation in Nanyang.

He recruited skilled sailors from various armies to train new sailboats. There is a saying that those who are difficult will not be difficult, and those who are able will not be difficult.After several months of training, I believe that the operation of this new sailboat will not be much worse than that of Xiyi.

These trainings were all carried out on the sea surface of Luzon.On the one hand, this place needs to be guarded, and it is the bridgehead of the Nanyang decisive battle; on the other hand, there is no more suitable place for sailing training, and there is no way to hide it.

Zheng Zhilong was not worried about this at all. This new sailboat was not his trump card, but his real trump card was Jinyiwei spies and rifled guns.Needless to say, Jin Yiwei spies, rifled guns are easy to keep secret.Ever since he got the rifled gun, he even longed for the decisive battle in Nanyang to start as soon as possible, so as to surprise the red hair, those pirates, and the allied forces of the natives!
Thinking of this, he complained a little bit in his heart that Liu Xiang was too bad. After so long, he didn't get everything done. It's no wonder that his reputation in Daming Coast was not ranked first. !

In the Nanyang decisive battle here, the emperor has already made it clear that he is the commander-in-chief, and he will command the battle of the land and water armies at that time.Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being excited.

For a long time, the navy has only been a vassal of the army.But now this battle, hehe, I, Zheng, is the coach. This battle must be fought well, but it is famous through the ages!

He was looking forward to it, but the situation on Liu Xiang's side he was talking about was not optimistic.

No, the spy sent to Manila immediately went to report to Liu Xiang what he saw in Manila after rushing back to Temasek.

The new-style sailboats, Spanish treasure ships, hill-like silver dollars, the elite Ming army and so on all stimulated Liu Xiang's sense of hearing.

After a while, he came back to his senses, saw that the detailed work had been reported and was waiting for his instructions, so he waved his hand impatiently, telling him to leave quickly, without any good news, what else was he thinking?
