Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 323 Eliminate Liu Xiang

Not long after, Liu Changchun was brought to Zheng Yiguan by the guard.

In the study room of the General Military Mansion, Zheng Yiguan sat behind a table, looked at Liu Changchun standing in the room and the box behind Liu Changchun, and said with a playful face: "I said Liu Yuanwai, you are useless." If you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall, you’re bringing gifts and visiting the door in the middle of the night, so you must have something to do with me.”

Liu Changchun sneered a few times, and said, "You can't hide anything from Mr. General Soldier. I really came here tonight to ask for something."

Zheng Yiguan pointed to a chair in front of the table, and said to Liu Changchun, "Sit down and talk about anything."

Liu Changchun thanked him, and then sat in front of Zheng Yiguan.

"Come here, put away all these gifts brought by Yuanwai Liu." Zheng Yiguan shouted to the guard outside the door.

As soon as the words were finished, several guards walked in, lifted the gifts in the study, and walked out.

"Tell me, what can you do with me?" Zheng Yiguan asked.

Liu Changchun considered his tone, and asked tentatively, "Is that big ship parked at the port outside the city today the legendary treasure ship?"

Zheng Yiguan chuckled, and replied: "I didn't expect you to be quite well-informed. The big ship on the pier outside the city is indeed a long-lost treasure ship."

"I don't dare to pretend to be well-informed, but I happened to meet them during the daytime today." Liu Changchun paused, and then said: "What is the origin of these treasure ships?"

Zheng Yiguan's expression suddenly became serious. He squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Changchun, "Why are you asking this? Don't you have any thoughts about this treasure ship that you shouldn't have?"

Seeing this, Liu Changchun hurriedly said: "Master Chief Soldier misunderstood, I don't have much thought about it.

This treasure ship is huge, and it must be able to carry a lot of goods, so I wondered if I could rent one and transport the goods directly to the West.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money? "

"Hehe, you have a good plan. Let me tell you, don't think about it in the future. This treasure ship is not mine, but a friend of mine.

My friend is powerful and has few opponents in the sea.

Just because you still want to rent a treasure ship?I can't even get it in my hand, you just want to get it?This is simply an impossible thing, I advise you to give up this idea. When Zheng Yiguan heard that Liu Changchun wanted to rent a treasure ship, he looked at Liu Changchun strangely.

I really don't know what this Liu Changchun is thinking, but he still wants to rent a treasure ship, what a big heart.

"Is there really no room for negotiation on this matter? I'm renting, and it's not like I won't give money." Liu Changchun wanted to continue explaining,

"Okay, let's stop here. It's impossible for you to rent this treasure ship." Zheng Yiguan said, picking up the teacup on the table.

Seeing this, Liu Changchun heaved a long sigh, then turned and left.

……

Early the next morning, Zheng Yiguan took a dozen guards and Zheng Zhihu on board the treasure ship Yangwei and headed towards Zeelandia City.

Although the treasure ship Yangwei had left, the discussion about the treasure ship in the Fuzhou government did not stop because of this.

The people in the entire Fuzhou government are talking about the treasure ship Yangwei almost every day.

A few days later, the treasure ship Yangwei slowly docked at the port of Zeelandia.

When the treasure ship Yangwei just entered the port, Zheng Yiguan was stunned by the sight in front of him.

I saw nine sailing warships moored in the port, as well as dozens of scarred and armed merchant ships.

There were still pieces of wood that had not been cleaned up floating on the sea, and there was still a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

Zheng Yiguan came down from the treasure ship Yangwei. Standing on the port, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh: "These red barbarians came to lead the army to attack without knowing the situation. They simply don't know how to live or die."

"Haha, look at what you said, you were not like this back then?" Zhao Daniu patted Zheng Yiguan on the shoulder and said carelessly.

"Okay, let's go quickly, I guess the adults are waiting for you now."

Zheng Yiguan looked at Zhao Daniu's carefree look, and walked forward with a black line on his face.

After a short time, Zheng Yiguan came to Zhao Wen's big tent.

At this time, Zhao Wen was standing in the big tent, looking seriously at a map laid out in the big tent.

"grown ups!"

Zheng Yiguan cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and said loudly.

Zhao Wen raised his head, with a smile on his face, "You're here, sit down."

Zhao Wen pointed to a chair next to him and motioned Zheng Yiguan to sit down.

Zheng Yiguan nodded, and then sat on the chair.

"What do you want me to do, my lord?" Zheng Yiguan looked at Zhao Wen and asked.

Zhao Wendao: "It's a big deal to find you.

You know the thing about Governor Batavia being defeated by me, right? "

"My lord, General Zhao Daniu told me when I came here." Zheng Yiguan replied.

Zhao Wen nodded, "It's good to know, the matter I want to entrust to you has a lot to do with this matter.

Originally, Hongyi was the most powerful in the sea, but now Hongyi has been beaten to the ground by me.The governor was captured alive by me, and Hongyi's strength has been greatly damaged.

As a result, there was a power vacuum on the sea, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly take over the sea area south of Daming completely. "

Zhao Wen patted the map on the table and shouted loudly.

Zheng Yiguan did not answer directly, but thought for a while.

After a while, Zheng Yiguan said: "My lord, although Hongyi has already been defeated by my lord, but my lord, don't forget that there is still Frangji.

Flangji from Luzon and Flangji from Xiangshanao, although these people are not as powerful as Hongyi, they are not small. "

The Ming Dynasty of this era collectively referred to Portugal and Spain as Frangji.

In fact, Luzon was a Spanish colony, and there were Portuguese troops stationed in Xiangshanao.

"Don't worry about it so much, now Hongyi was defeated by me, and the governor was captured alive by me, the news probably won't get out for a while.

So, I thought, let's fight quickly, and immediately lead the fleet to Batavia, Java.

Strive to hold the entire Batavia port in your hands.As for those Fulang robots, let's not worry about them, if they dare to come, they will be killed directly. "

After Zhao Wen defeated the fleet led by Governor Cohen of Batavia, Zhao Wen had such an idea in his mind.

Zheng Yiguan came here this time to complete this matter.

Although Zheng Yiguan was defeated by Zhao Wen, the number of ships under him was still considerable.

Coupled with the power in Zhao Wen's hands, Batavia can definitely be completely occupied.

Although Zhao Wen has five treasure ships and some lucky ships in his hands, the number of ships is still a little small.

Moreover, there are almost no people in Zhao Wen's hands who are proficient in maritime affairs except Zheng Yiguan, so Zhao Wencai chose to let Zheng Yiguan participate. After all, Zheng Yiguan has spent such a long time on the sea and is relatively good at these things. .

Hearing Zhao Wen's voice, Zheng Yiguan's eyes shone with excitement.

"My lord, before you attack Batavia, you have to deal with one more person. If you don't deal with this person, even if you get Batavia, I'm afraid it won't stop much in the future."

"Who?" Zhao Wen narrowed his eyes, flashing fierce lights.

"Liu Xiang!"

"Liu Xiang? Is that Liu Xiang who belonged to Shibazhi, your brother-in-law?"

As soon as Zhao Wen heard Zheng Yiguan say the name Liu Xiang, he immediately thought of Liu Xiang in history.

Liu Xiang in history was a ruthless character. To some extent, this person was even more ruthless than Zheng Yiguan.

At the very least, Zheng Yiguan was the first person to develop Taiyuan Island in the Ming Dynasty. While developing it, he also immigrated a large number of landless people from the southeast coast to Taiyuan Island, making a great contribution to Taiwan Yuan Island.

Moreover, Zheng Yiguan also defeated Hongyi several times and stopped Hongyi's aggression.

But this Liu Xiang was different. This person was an out-and-out pirate and murderous devil in history, and he once gave Chongzhen a headache.

Historically, Liu Xiang's favorite thing to do was to attack the southeast coast. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Liu Xiang was very powerful at that time, and there was a precedent for successfully recruiting Zheng Yiguan, so Fujian governor Xiong Wencan wanted to recruit Liu Xiang.

After learning about the recruitment policy, Liu Xiang pretended to agree.

Xiong Wencan thought that Liu Xiangnai really wanted to surrender, so he sent Hong Yunzheng, deputy envoy Kang Chengzu, general Xia Zhiben, Zhang Yijie and others to Liu Xiang's boat at sea to proclaim consolation.

But who knows that Liu Xiang directly asked his subordinates to imprison a group of officials and kill the entourage of these officials.

At that time, Zheng Yiguan had already surrendered to the imperial court, so Chongzhen ordered Zheng Yiguan to go and kill him.

Although Liu Xiang is very powerful, he is compared with Zheng Yiguan who has surrendered to the court.Still worse.

After Zheng Yiguan received Chongzhen's order, he led his troops to encircle and suppress Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang was defeated, so he pulled out the imprisoned officials and used them to threaten Zheng Yiguan.

Zheng Yiguan was worried at the time and did not dare to order a storm.

And Hong Yunzheng, who participated in politics, yelled at Zheng Yiguan Xiang: "General Zheng, come quickly, leave me alone, there is no time to attack!"

And he scolded Liu Xiang and others angrily.

Liu Xiang became angry from embarrassment, and immediately killed the deputy envoy Hong Yunzheng and many officials, and threw their bodies into the sea.

Liu Xiang was finally defeated by Zheng Yiguan and drowned on the sea.It's just that this happened in the eighth year of Chongzhen.It has not been eight years since Chongzhen, so Liu Xiang is still alive and well.

After Zheng Yiguan returned to the court, Liu Xiang also fought against Zheng Yiguan several times, but they were all defeated by Zheng Yiguan.

After Liu Xiang's failure, he retreated to Nanyang, and was active in Guangdong, Annan, and Luzon, and became the dog leg of Hongyi and Frangji.

He often harassed the southeast coast, plundered the people, and trafficked them to Java and other places to make huge profits.

Zhao Wen recalled the information about Liu Xiang in history, his face was as cold as ice.

"Hmph, this Liu Xiang, I will definitely tear him into pieces." Zhao Wen said coldly.

Zheng Yiguan said: "My lord, although this Liu Xiang is not as powerful as your lord, he is as cunning as a fox and likes to use fire attacks the most.

If adults attack Liu Xiang, please be extremely careful. "

"Naturally, this time we attacked Batavia and killed him easily." Zhao Wen said coldly with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Zheng Yiguan nodded, "Liu Xiang's biggest lair is in Lufeng, Guangdong. I've always wanted to destroy him, but I'm the general soldier of Fujian, so I can't get involved in Guangdong."

Zhao Wen laughed when he heard Zheng Yiguan's words.

"I don't think you can't intervene. You don't want to intervene. After all, Liu Xiang has been wiped out. Don't you seem a little useless as a general? I still understand the principle of raising the bandits' self-respect." Zhao Wen said with a smile on his face. Looking at Zheng Yiguan playfully, he said jokingly.

Zheng Yiguan instantly became embarrassed, "Ahem, it seems that I still can't hide it from my lord."

"Okay, let's not say so much. This time I called you here for this purpose. I will give you fifteen days. You must transfer all the ships you can mobilize to me. You can do it Is it?" Zhao Wen put away the smile on his face and said seriously.

"Fifteen days is enough, sir, just wait for my good news." Zheng Yiguan stood up, cupped his hands at Zhao Wen, and said loudly.

Although Zhao Wen gave Zheng Yiguan fifteen days, Zheng Yiguan didn't use fifteen days at all. In just ten days, Zheng Yiguan mobilized all the ships he could mobilize, totaling more than 400 ships. ship.

In addition to Zheng Yiguan's [-] ships, Zhao Wen also mobilized the blessing boats docked in Xincheng.

After dealing with these matters, Zhao Wen led the huge fleet to Java.

Of course, the first target is Liu Xiang.

If Liu Xiang is not wiped out, who knows what kind of trouble this guy will cause Zhao Wen in the future.

A few days later, a huge fleet appeared on the surface of Tianwei Mountain in Jieshi, Lufeng, Guangdong.

This huge fleet is exactly the fleet led by Zhao Wen.

In addition to Zhao Wen's fleet, there is also a huge fleet slowly heading towards this sea area from the south.

In Zheng Yiguan's fleet, there is a kind of boat called a bird boat. This kind of boat is not big, and it is much smaller than ordinary boats.

Although it is small in size, there are many sails on it.

There are a total of five sails on the bird boat, and its speed on the sea is extremely fast. It is often used by Zheng Yiguan as an early warning ship.

The sun hanging in the sky scorched the sea, and Zhao Wen stood on the deck of the treasure ship Yangwei and looked at the sea ahead with a telescope.

Suddenly, a bird boat rushed towards Zhao Wen.

A red flag hangs above the bird ship.

Zhao Wen looked at the red flag and instantly understood that there was an enemy situation.

The bird boat docked about a mile in front of the treasure ship Yangwei.

A sailor stood on the deck of the bird boat, waving the flag continuously towards Zhao Wen.

The flag bearer standing on the watchtower saw all this with a telescope.

"My lord, there is an unknown fleet fifty miles ahead of the fleet."

The standard bearer retracted the binoculars and shouted at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen nodded, and then shouted: "Tell them, let me continue to investigate, and I must investigate the identity of this fleet in the shortest possible time."
