Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 321 Came to Fuzhou Mansion

After Zhao Wen received the signal from Cohen to surrender, Zhao Wen shouted to the messenger behind him: "Let everyone stop attacking, and at the same time issue a semaphore to the other party, let them lower their sails, and park the boat on the sea for me, and at the same time Let all the sailors stand on deck for me."

As Zhao Wen's order was conveyed, the soldiers on the port, defensive positions, and treasure ships all stopped attacking.

After stopping the attack, Cohen leaned on the mast and let out a long breath, his face full of shock.

The scene just now was even more terrifying than a nightmare, and he was no match for these people at all.

He didn't even have the strength to parry let alone fight back.

"These smart people want us to lower the sails and let all the sailors stand on the deck at the same time." The flag bearer on the watchtower hurried down and shouted at Cohen.

Cohen let out a long breath, and said eagerly: "Do as they say, do everything according to what they say, and convey this order to me quickly."

A few quarters of an hour later, the remaining armed merchant ships and sailing battleships all moored quietly on the sea surface, all sails were lowered, and the deck was full of sailors.

At this time, Zhao Wen also came to the treasure ship Yangwei in a small boat.

Zhao Wen stood on the deck of the treasure ship Yangwei, pointed to the front, and shouted: "Let's go!!!"

Zhao Wen gave an order, and the five treasure ships moved slowly towards the sailing battleship.

The five treasure ships are like five hills, pressing down on the sailing battleship like Mount Tai.

Cohen stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the approaching treasure ship, with mixed feelings in his heart.

At this moment, he finally understood why Putmans didn't let him attack the city of Zeelandia.

He also understood why Zeelandia was captured so easily.

What Putmans said was all true, and he didn't lie to himself.

However, it may be too late to regret it now.

Although the third-tier sailing battleship is much larger than the same ships, it is not a star and a half compared to the treasure ship.

The five treasure ships stopped in front of the sailing battleship. Zhao Wen stood on the deck of the treasure ship Yangwei and watched the sailing battleship in front of him quietly, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"After this battle, they rushed directly to Java and captured the Batavia Harbor with lightning speed.

Based on Batavia, attack all around.

Luzon, Johor, and India must be captured. "

Zhao Wen's thoughts flashed for a while.

When the sun gradually set, the remaining armed merchant ships and sailing warships were all brought into the port.

The captives on board were also neatly gathered at the port.

Cohen stood quietly in front of the captives, with his head lowered.

Zhao Wen stood in front of them, looked at Cohen who was standing in the front, and said, "Press them all back, remember, separate all the officers and soldiers, this time we won't let them escape."

In the following time, these people were detained separately by the soldiers according to Zhao Wen's order.

Today's port is full of battered armed merchant ships and galleons.

"The interests at sea are huge. The city of Zeelandia has already been captured by me. I have also captured the governor of Batavia alive. Now there is a vacuum of power on the sea. As long as we act quickly, there will be great things to do." Zhao Wen walked back and forth quietly on the port, his eyes full of excitement.

"Daniu, go to Zheng Yiguan's place tomorrow and bring Zheng Yiguan and the others to me."

Zhao Wen stopped and looked at Zhao Daniu behind him.

"Follow your lord's order!" Zhao Daniu clasped his fist at Zhao Wen and replied loudly.

Today's Zheng Yiguan is the commander-in-chief of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, and his government is located in Fuzhou, the provincial capital of Fujian.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Daniu headed for Zheng Yiguan on the treasure ship Yangwei, while Zhao Wen stayed in Zeelandia City.

A few days later, Zhao Daniu's treasure ship docked at the wharf outside Fuzhou Mansion.

When the huge treasure ship Yangwei just appeared on the wharf of Fuzhou Prefecture, it attracted the attention of the people on the wharf.

After the people in the city heard that a huge ship was docked at the pier, they rushed towards the pier one by one.

The territory that Zheng Yiguan received last time was basically Zheng Yiguan's overseas territory, so he didn't go to Fuzhou Mansion.

It was also the first time that the people on the wharf in Fuzhou saw such a huge treasure ship as the Yangwei.

"My God, what kind of ship is this? Why is it so huge?"

"Yeah, what kind of ship is this? Why is it so big?"

"Could it be the ship under the command of the Chief Soldier? Our Chief Soldier is the most powerful navy in the sea. Such a large ship should belong to the Navy Master."

"It looks like a treasure ship to me, with twelve masts. This is what a treasure ship looks like." An older middle-aged man pointed to the treasure ship Yangwei on the port and said.

"What? Treasure ship? How is this possible? The treasure ship belonged to Grandfather Cheng. It has been more than 200 years since Grandfather Cheng. Since then, the treasure ship has disappeared. Where is the treasure ship?" A middle-aged man standing next to him immediately retorted.

For a while, the people on the wharf looked at the treasure ship Yangwei docked on the wharf and talked a lot.

It didn't take long for the treasure ship Yangwei to berth at the pier when Fujian governor Xiong Wencan got the news.

In the backyard of the governor's yamen, Xiong Wencan was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting quietly in the yard drinking tea with a respectable local gentry, discussing something.

At this moment, a man who looked like a master rushed in from the outside in a hurry.

Shouting while running, "It's not good, something big happened, this time it really happened."

Xiong Wencan looked at the hurrying master, and hurriedly said: "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

The master looked at the gentry sitting opposite Xiong Wencan, restrained himself hurriedly, leaned into Xiong Wencan's ear, and whispered: "My lord, it's not good, a huge ship has arrived at the port outside the city, it looks like Like a hill.

And I think this big ship looks very much like the rumored treasure ship. "

"Treasure ship?" Xiong Wencan was taken aback. He looked at the master and asked in disbelief: "The treasure ship has been lost for more than 200 years. Where can there be a treasure ship? Are you delusional?"

"My lord, what I said is true. I can guarantee that it really looks like a long-lost treasure ship." Seeing that Xiong Wencan didn't believe it, the master said anxiously.

Xiong Wencan put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, then I'll take a look and see if this is a treasure ship."

After Xiong Wencan finished speaking, he said apologetically to the gentry opposite him: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry. I have some things to do now, so I won't stay outside."

Mr. Liu was also sensible. He stood up straight away, cupped his hands at Xiong Wencan, and said, "If that's the case, then I'll take my leave first."

After sending Liu Yuanwai away, Xiong Wencan hurriedly changed into his official uniform, and hurried towards the pier in a sedan chair.

After Liu Yuanwai walked out of the yamen, his eyes shone brightly, "Treasure ship? If my Liu family can own a treasure ship, then my Liu family can sell goods farther away. The value in it is immeasurable."

Although the master's voice was extremely low, Yuanwai Liu still overheard him.

Member Liu muttered a few times, and led the servants who were standing outside the yamen, and hurried towards the pier outside the city.

After a while, Xiong Wencan sat in a sedan chair and came to the outermost part of the pier.

Before entering the dock, Xiong Wencan saw the huge treasure ship.

In this era, there are very few tall buildings, and the treasure ships are very large, so even standing outside the pier can clearly see the treasure ships.

Xiong Wencan stood at the outermost part of the pier, looking at the treasure ship Yangwei from a distance, his face was full of horror.

"Twelve masts, plus the shape of this big ship and the description of the treasure ship in the book are very imaginative, this should be a treasure ship. But, who made this treasure ship? Could it be Zheng Yiguan?
No, no, although he is powerful, it is impossible for him to make a treasure ship.

Who built those treasure ships?Was it built by the imperial court?However, the blueprints for the manufacture of the treasure ship disappeared during the Chenghua period. In addition, the construction of the treasure ship was very expensive. Now that the imperial court is unable to make ends meet, it is impossible to build the treasure ship.

Who the hell built this? "

Xiong Wencan looked at the treasure ship on the port, his expression changed again and again.

The current pier is already full of people, and everyone rushed to the pier, wanting to have a closer look at the huge ship.

Xiong Wencan looked at the crowd, frowned slightly, and said to the master who was following behind him: "Go and transfer all the servants in the yamen, let them come over to maintain order, so as to avoid accidents.

Besides, let Zheng Zongbing know by the way, and ask him to send some people over to avoid accidents. "

The master nodded, and then walked to the back.

Xiong Wencan let out a long breath, and headed towards the pier with the yamen servants behind him.

The yamen servant who was following behind Xiong Wencan rushed to the front of Xiong Wencan with a gong, beat the gong non-stop, and kept yelling: "The governor is going out, everyone stays away, the governor is going out, everyone stays away. "

Because Xiong Wencan was not on a formal trip, he did not bring out all the guards of honor of the governor, but only brought a few yamen servants.

The people on the pier heard the yelling of the yamen servants, and hurriedly retreated to both sides, making way for Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan straightened his clothes, then walked slowly forward.

At this time, Zhao Daniu also led a few soldiers down from the treasure ship.

This time, Zhao Daniu and the soldiers led by Zhao Daniu only wore ordinary clothes, not military uniforms, and only carried the big black star.After all, it's not a war this time.

As soon as Zhao Daniu walked to the pier, he saw Xiong Wencan coming towards him in official uniform.

Xiong Wencan looked at the burly man, and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from? What do you want to stop here? Where is your guide?"

"We are here to find Zongbing Zheng." Zhao Daniu replied.

"Mr. Zheng? You are Mr. Zheng's subordinates? But I remember Mr. Zheng did not have such a huge ship among his subordinates. Is your ship a treasure ship?" Xiong Wencan looked at the treasure ship "Yangwei" and asked suspiciously road.

"You don't need to worry about our origins. As for whether we are under Zheng Zongbing, let me put it bluntly, Zheng Zongbing is not worthy." Zhao Daniu said disapprovingly.

"Not worthy? Hehe, your tone is quite crazy." Xiong Wencan sneered.

At this moment, Zheng Yiguan who got the news also led his men to the pier in a hurry.

Zheng Yiguan hurried to Zhao Daniu and Xiong Wencan's side.

"You came just in time, do you know these people?" Xiong Wencan looked at Zheng Yiguan who was rushing over, and hurriedly called Zheng Yiguan.

Zheng Yiguan said: "My lord, I know these people, as for who they are, I will explain to you in detail later.

This is not the place to talk now, let's go back and talk about it. "

After Zheng Yiguan finished speaking, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to guard the vicinity of the pier, and made the people on the pier retreat dozens of steps.

Among the common people, the officer surnamed Liu watched all this quietly, his eyes were full of excitement.

After a while, Zheng Yiguan led Zhao Daniu and Xiong Wencan to the general yamen.

Zheng Yiguan stood in front of the gate of the General Soldier's Yamen, and said to Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhihu who were behind him: "You two lead the soldiers and horses to surround me with the General Soldier's Yamen. No one else is allowed to approach."

Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhihu clasped their fists at Zheng Yiguan, and then led the soldiers to surround the entire General Military Mansion.

Xiong Wencan looked at this scene with a puzzled look on his face.

Who are these people, and why is Zheng Yiguan so vigilant?
After entering the Zongbing Yamen, Zheng Yiguan pulled Xiong Wencan aside, and whispered to Xiong Wencan: "My lord, these people are very important to me, as for who they are, I can't tell you yet.

You wait for me in the lobby for a while now, and I will come to you after I finish dealing with these matters. "

Zheng Yiguan didn't wait for Xiong Wencan's consent, so he left Xiong Wencan aside and led Zhao Daniu into the study.

The soldiers brought by Zhao Daniu stood on both sides of the study.

"I said Brother Zhao, why are you here?" Zheng Yiguan said with a depressed face.

"You came here as soon as you came, but why did you bring the treasure ship here? Now the whole Fuzhou mansion knows about it, what do you want me to do?"

Zheng Yiguan looked at Zhao Daniu who looked indifferent, his face was full of depression.

Zhao Daniu said disapprovingly: "I said, what are you afraid of? You were a famous pirate who roamed the sea at first, but now that you have submitted to the imperial court, why are you getting less and less courageous? Isn't it just a treasure ship? What are you afraid of? "

"I'm afraid? When was I, Zheng Yiguan, ever afraid?" Zheng Yiguan became excited when he heard Zhao Daniu say that he was afraid.

"I, Zheng Yiguan, have rolled among the dead. I'm afraid of the court? I just hate trouble."
