Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 322 Liu Changchun's Ambition
"Okay, let's not talk about this. My lord wants you to go to the city of Zeelandia as soon as possible, my lord is going to make a big move."

Sitting opposite Zheng Yiguan, Zhao Daniu spoke.

Zheng Yiguan was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Big move? What big move? You just got the city of Zeelandia in your hands. What big move can you make?"

Zheng Yiguan knew about Zhao Wen's capture of Zeelandia City. To be honest, it is not surprising that Zhao Wen was able to capture Zheng Yiguan of Zeelandia City. After all, the weapon in Zhao Wen's hand is too powerful.

But it has only been a few days since the city of Zeelandia was captured. Logically speaking, Zhao Wen's main goal now is to manage the city of Zeelandia. What big moves can he make?

Zhao Daniu said: "A few days ago, the governor of Java Batavia led troops to attack the city of Zeelandia, but he was defeated by the lord, and even the governor was captured by the lord."

Zheng Yiguan was taken aback, "What? What are you talking about? The Governor of Batavia from Hongyi was captured by the Lord?"

Zheng Yiguan's face was full of horror.

The governor of Batavia, Zheng Yiguan, also knew about it, and Hongyi's strength in Batavia was also very strong.

Regardless of the fact that the number of ships in his hand is not as large as that of Zheng Yiguan, if it is head-on, Zheng Yiguan may not be able to beat him.

Now not only was he defeated by Zhao Wen, but even the governor was captured alive by Zhao Wen. How could Zheng Yiguan not be horrified?

Zhao Daniu said calmly: "I said, don't be so surprised, okay? Isn't this a very normal thing?

It is also to blame that the governor of Batavia underestimated the enemy and even commanded the fleet to directly attack the port of Zeelandia.

Attack like you did when you attacked Pido. "

Hearing this, Zheng Yiguan's scalp went numb.

The scene when Zheng Yiguan attacked Phi Island appeared in his mind again.

That is a deadly place, no matter how many boats you have, going up is a dead end.

Zheng Yiguan had already imagined the appearance of the governor of Batavia when he braved the cannon fire to attack.

Zheng Yiguan took a deep breath, "What does your lord mean?"

"My lord wants you to go to Zeelandia City first, because he has something important for you. As for what kind of thing, I'm not quite sure." Zhao Daniu said.

Zheng Yiguan slapped his thigh, and said loudly: "Okay, I have nothing to do these few days, so it's okay to go there."

"Since that's the case, it would be great. But, you must be quick." Zhao Daniu stood up, left a word, and then walked out.

Zheng Yiguan sat on a chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"I really didn't expect to capture the governor of Batavia. From this point of view, it is a very correct business to take refuge in Zhao Wen."

Not long after staying in the room, Zheng Yiguan walked out of the study and went straight to Xiong Wencan who was sitting in the hall.

This Xiong Wencan was the one who recruited Zheng Yiguan back then, and he has a good relationship with Zheng Yiguan in private.

When Zheng Yiguan just walked to the door of the hall, Xiong Wencan put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zheng Yiguan who walked in, and asked, "Who are those people? And that treasure ship, what's going on?" one thing?"

Zheng Yiguan sat next to Xiong Wencan, and said, "How should I say it? Anyway, I can't explain it clearly to you now. This person is a subordinate of a friend of mine on the sea. He is very powerful. Don't worry about specific things." asked.

As for the treasure ship, it was built by my friend.As for how he built it, I don't know the specifics.

In short, you only need to remember one sentence, his strength is not comparable to mine, if he wants to destroy me, it is very simple. "

Listening to Zheng Yiguan's words, Xiong Wencan fell into silence.

After a while, Xiong Wencan asked with disbelief: "Is what you said true? Is he really stronger than you?"

Zheng Yiguan's strength, Xiong Wencan, is very clear. Back then, the Daming Coast was turned upside down, and the court was unable to destroy him, so it could only watch helplessly.

If it weren't for Zheng Yiguan's willingness to surrender, even if he tied ten of himself together, he might not be able to convince him.

Now that Zheng Yiguan said that the man was stronger than him, Xiong Wencan became suspicious.

Zheng Yiguan looked at Xiong Wencan, who didn't believe it, and said, "Isn't there a rumor before that I was defeated at sea? Let me tell you, this thing is true."

"What? Is this true? Don't you want to lie to me?" Xiong Wencan suddenly stood up and looked at Zheng Yiguan in horror.

Zheng Yiguan was defeated at the beginning, and after returning, he didn't know what happened, and this matter was spread.

After hearing the news, Xiong Wencan couldn't believe it.

At that time, he personally asked Zheng Yiguan whether the news was true.

But Zheng Yiguan didn't answer because of face.

In Xiong Wencan's view, it is simply impossible for someone who can defeat Zheng Yiguan on the sea in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Others don't know about Zheng Yiguan's strength, but Xiong Wencan is very clear about it. There are thousands of ships under his command.

Now that Zheng Yiguan personally admitted this matter, one can imagine the horror in Xiong Wencan's heart.

Zheng Yiguan nodded, and said helplessly: "I didn't lie to you, this matter is true, I was indeed defeated by him."

"How? I know your strength very well. Even those red-haired barbarians dare not provoke you easily. I really can't think of what kind of person can defeat you."

Xiong Wencan looked panic-stricken, walking up and down in the hall.

"If he has any thoughts about the coast that he shouldn't have, wouldn't the entire coastal land be corrupted?"

"There is no need to worry, his temporary goal is not the coastal land.

In my opinion, his target should be those red barbarians. " Zheng Yiguan comforted.

Xiong Wencan stopped suddenly. He looked at Zheng Yiguan and asked anxiously, "How can you guarantee this? How can you guarantee that his goal is not a coastal place?"

"I said why are you nervous? Let me ask you, which one is richer, the people in the coastal areas or the Hongyi? They can build treasure ships, which proves that they don't value the money of these people in the coastal areas at all.

He built the treasure ship for those Hongyi.You'd better keep your heart in your stomach, he won't do anything to the coast. "

Xiong Wencan kept thinking about Zheng Yiguan's words in his heart.

Yes, the money needed to build a treasure ship is not a small amount, plus recruiting sailors, training sailors, and ocean warfare will cost a lot of money.

On the coast of Fujian, although many gentry secretly engaged in smuggling, the common people were not rich.

These smuggled gentry basically built small bunkers.

It takes a lot of time to attack.

It would not be worthwhile to attack the coastal lands for money.

Thinking of this, Xiong Wencan's restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Let's just believe you." Xiong Wencan let out a long breath, and sat next to Zheng Yiguan, the expression on his face softened a little.

"Actually, they came to me this time for business. There is nothing in my jurisdiction recently. I plan to go to my friend's place tomorrow." Zheng Yiguan leaned on the chair, knocked on the table beside him, and said slowly.

"Let you go? You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I don't care about you. The emperor is far away today, and you didn't do this once or twice." Xiong Wencan replied.

Although Zheng Yiguan is the commander-in-chief of Fujian, the men and horses in his hands are all his own.

The imperial court couldn't interfere at all, as long as Zheng Yiguan didn't continue to rebel, Xiong Wencan would just turn a blind eye to other matters.

"By the way, you must keep the things I told you a secret from me." Zheng Yiguan sat up straight and looked at Xiong Wencan with a serious face.

Xiong Wencan nodded, "Don't worry, this matter will definitely rot in my stomach."

……

The sky gradually darkened, and Zhao Daniu returned to the treasure ship directly after leaving the General Military Mansion.

The people on the port also gradually dispersed, and the entire port was plunged into darkness.

Suddenly, a group of people came towards the port.

Standing on the deck of the treasure ship Yangwei, Zhao Daniu became vigilant when he saw the group of people suddenly appearing under the moonlight.

"Someone is coming, and everyone cheers me up."

Zhao Daniu pulled out the big black star from his waist, and looked at the approaching people with vigilance.

The person who came was none other than Yuanwai Liu who had tea with Xiong Wencan before.

This Liu Yuanwai was named Liu Changchun, and he was a very famous gentry in Fuzhou Prefecture.

He is famous because his family is the largest smuggler in Fuzhou Prefecture.

For so many years, the Liu family has made a lot of money by smuggling and selling goods.

Liu Changchun led more than a dozen servants to carry some things, and stopped under the treasure ship. He looked at the top of the treasure ship and shouted loudly: "I am a gentleman from Fuzhou Prefecture. When I saw some strong men during the day, how many did you say to them?" The strong man admires him very much, so he came here tonight to pay his respects."

"Admiration? Then why did you come at this time? Why don't you come during the day?" Zhao Daniu lay on the side of the boat, looking at the figure below.

Although it is not clear, you can see how many people there are.

"Didn't the whole pier be blocked during the day today? I wanted to come, but I couldn't." Liu Changchun shouted.

Zhao Daniu sneered, "Hehe, you should go back, I won't let you board the boat."

When Liu Changchun heard this, he became anxious immediately, "Don't, I brought all my things. If you drive me back like this, wouldn't all these things be for nothing?"

"I don't care if you're blind or not. I have a mission and I can't meet any strangers. This is an order. You should go back." Zhao Daniu shouted loudly.

"If you don't leave, I won't be polite."

Zhao Daniu looked at Liu Changchun and others who were still under the treasure ship, loaded the big black star in his hand, and fired a shot into the sky.

The sound of gunfire wafted across the silent pier.

Liu Changchun was startled when he heard the gunshot.

"In that case, let's go." Liu Changchun wiped off the cold sweat from his head, and said to the servant behind him, "Let's go, let's go, and take all these things back."

After a few breaths, Liu Changchun drove the servants away again, carrying the things he brought and heading towards the way he came.

Zhao Daniu looked at the leaving figure, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "From now on, all of you keep your eyes open for me. If anyone still comes, fire a warning shot at me first. After three times, if you still don't leave, Just shoot."

"As ordered!"

The soldier behind him clasped his fist at Zhao Daniu and said loudly.

When Liu Changchun walked out of the pier, he turned his head and glanced at the treasure ship behind, and then shouted to his servants: "These things we brought are all good things, we can't just take them back like this, let's go, go to the General Military Mansion , Meet Zheng Zongbing."

Liu Changchun led his servants, turned around, and headed for Zheng Yiguan's General Military Mansion.

After a short while, Liu Changchun led his servants to the gate of the General Military Mansion.

As soon as he reached the gate of the General Military Mansion, Liu Changchun was discovered by the guards outside the General Military Mansion.

"who?"

The guard at the gate of the General Army Mansion drew out the long knife from his waist and surrounded Liu Changchun.

Liu Changchun sneered, and said, "It's me, Liu Changchun."

"It turned out to be Mr. Liu. You are not sleeping at home so late. What are you doing here at the General Military Mansion?" The guard looked at Liu Changchun and asked.

Liu Changchun is also a well-known figure in Fuzhou Prefecture, and Liu Changchun often deals with Zheng Yiguan when he sells goods, so these guards know Liu Changchun.

"Didn't I come to pay my respects to Lord Chief Soldier? You see, I have prepared all the gifts." Liu Changchun said as he asked the servants behind him to slowly open the boxes that were being carried.

As soon as the box was opened, the guards' eyes straightened.

I saw that these boxes were full of rare treasures, such as ambergris, red coral, luminous pearls and so on.

"Are you carrying these things to meet your lord?"

A guard pointed to the treasure in the box and asked.

"Yes, please inform me." Liu Changchun said as he took out a money bag from his arms, weighed it a few times, and handed it to a guard.

The guard took the money bag from Liu Changchun and opened it directly.

I saw that the money bag was full of exquisite silver coins.

Now Zhao Wen's Daming Bank has spread all over Daming, almost every provincial capital in every province, so these silver coins are widely circulated.

In addition, the silver coins are exquisite and easy to distinguish between genuine and fake, so these silver coins are much more popular than ordinary silver.

In Fujian, a silver coin weighing one or two can be exchanged for one, two, three.

The guard took out one from inside, took a breath, and put it to his ear.

Hearing the pleasant voice of the silver coin, the guard said with a smile on his face: "Just wait, I will inform you right away."

The guard tapped the silver coins inside and found ten of them. He immediately put them in his arms and walked towards the General Military Mansion with a smile on his face.

After a while, the guard came out.

He looked at Liu Changchun and said, "Master Chief Soldier let you in, by the way, bring these things in too."

Liu Changchun nodded, and then walked in under the leadership of the guard.
