The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 280 The Panicked Hongyi

"If we say that if we push forward more than 200 years, there will be no one in the entire sea who is an opponent of Ming.

When the Sanbao eunuch went to the West, how glorious was that?But now, the west has risen in the ocean, and wanting to defeat those western barbarians is not as simple as talking about it.

If someone can come here from the west all the way, it is already doomed to their ability. Your two steel warships are indeed powerful, but they can only show off their might in the offshore! "

Zheng Zhilong looked at Sun Jie with an expression of disbelief, and the belittlement in words turned into substance.

Sun Jie turned a deaf ear to this, and Zheng Zhilong has been wandering on the sea all year round, and there must be two people who can be valued by him.

However, Sun Jie would not care about these.

Zheng Zhilong went on to say: "I don't know how you got those two steel warships, but unfortunately the number is too small. If you have dozens of them, with wooden warships, you want to dominate the entire ocean. Idiots talk about dreams.

Unfortunately, there are only two ships, what can two ships do?This time you relied on the strength of the coast to defeat me. If you fought with real swords and guns on the sea, you may not be my opponent! "

He was still not convinced.

Zheng Zhilong has been on the sea for so many years, so he was nicknamed "Sea Emperor".

In this sea area of ​​Asia, Japan, Da Ming, and even Hong Yi and Franji all want to give him a little favor. Such a figure who stirs up the ocean is of course not convinced now that he is caught.

He is well aware of the strength of his subordinates, and is extremely disdainful of Sun Jie's style of play.

Sun Jie could naturally see Zheng Zhilong's dissatisfaction.

"You mean, if I have enough steel warships, then I can dominate the entire ocean?
However, how do you know that I only have two steel warships?If I can have two, why can't I have several? ! "Sun Jie asked calmly.

In terms of understanding of the sea and the West in this era, Sun Jie can't even compare with Zheng Zhilong.

If this kind of person can be used by Sun Jie, the benefits will be unlimited.

In terms of naval battle experience, Sun Jie is indeed inferior to him, this point is admitted.

It is impossible to know that there is a priority in learning, and there is a specialization in art.

At any rate, he is also a hero who has been in the sea for many years, and he is very capable. If he is subdued, it will be of great help.

Not to mention, Zheng Zhilong still has the support of the people in Fujian, and there are also trade routes leading to Wa Kingdom and other places.

To subdue Zheng Zhilong is to subdue these things, and there are many benefits.

There is no deep hatred between the two, why not subdue it?
Zheng Zhilong obviously didn't expect Sun Jie to say such a thing, and he was stunned in place all of a sudden.

Zheng Zhilong saw that this kind of giant steel ship was astonishingly difficult to build. It was already the limit to build one or two ships. To build more was tantamount to nonsense, just like a joke.

"There's more? I don't believe it!"

Zheng Zhilong had a look of disbelief.

"Bragging, what a bragging, my three Zheng family brothers have never seen any troubles? Do you think we are three-year-olds? Could it be that there are more?

It's really interesting. It takes a lot of work to build ordinary ships. I don't know how to build this kind of steel giant ship, but it's definitely not easy.

We have traveled across the sea for decades, and we have never heard of or seen any shipbuilding workshop along the coast that can build such ships.

If it is true that there are more steel giant ships, it means that construction began during the Apocalypse or even earlier.

For so many years, we have never heard of it! "

Behind Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu argued unconvinced.

Zheng Zhihu is still a "scientist". According to common sense, if a warship is built, no matter how secret it is, there is no way to completely hide it, and there will always be clues.

To build a ship, you must first have a dock, which is a mandatory condition.

There are only a few docks in the coastal area that can build large ships. The Zheng family brothers dare not say they know it well, and they are very familiar with it.

For so many years, no one has ever heard of which shipyard can build giant steel ships.

In other words, these two giant steel ships were built at docks they didn't know about.

No matter which shipyard it is, it is not an easy task to build a ship.

It is difficult to build a large wooden ship, let alone a steel ship.

From their point of view, if you don't have seven or eight years, don't even try to get it done.

All things add up, if there are dozens of ships, it will take more than ten years or even more time.

But they have traveled across the ocean for decades, and have never heard of this.

"Your words are interesting, and you are a person who understands the market very well!" Sun Jie looked at Zheng Zhihu and said with great interest.

The ships were from modern times, and he would be damned if he knew where they came from.

"I don't need to worry about building so many ships. There are only two roads before you. One is death and the other is surrender. I will not force you, and I will give you enough time.

You think about it carefully, don't worry, this matter is related to your wealth and life, I hope you can think more about it! "Sun Jie said calmly.

"Take them down, watch them carefully, don't have any accidents, let them live well!" Sun Jie pointed at them and said to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly escorted the Zheng family brothers out and locked them in an empty room at the port.

There are no special cells at the port, and the three brothers of the Zheng family can only be locked in a warehouse or some temporary guest rooms.

The environment is good, except for the lack of freedom in life, there is no big problem.

The three brothers of the Zheng family were sitting in a dark warehouse. This is a warehouse for storing goods. It has a huge area and is built with bricks, tiles and concrete all around.

Overhead is a huge roof with no windows except specially built ventilation holes.

There are only two big iron gates, which are still tightly closed.

The cell was endlessly empty, and if the voice was a little louder, there would be an echo.

Zheng Zhilong stood in the cell, the expression on his face was not as flustered as before.

When he knew that Sun Jie was going to recruit him, he felt relieved, at least he couldn't die for the time being.

However, he was very entangled in his heart now, because he didn't know if Sun Jie really wanted to recruit him, or if he wanted to surrender him, and then killed him casually.

In the final analysis, Zheng Zhilong is actually a person who is very afraid of death. If it weren't for this, he would not have surrendered and became a slave in history.

Compared with his son, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud.

For him, life is the most important thing.

Sun Jie is familiar with history and Zheng Zhilong's mentality, so he has the desire to surrender.

After all, it is not difficult to recruit him.

"Brother, what should we do now? Don't we just stand up like this? This is not an option!"

Zheng Zhibao looked worried, and his voice was a little louder because of nervousness and panic.

The echo echoed continuously in the prison cell.

It's still not dark yet, and the sun shines in from the vent, just shining on Zheng Zhibao's face.

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Zhibao and said, "Don't worry, I will bring you out, and I will bring you out naturally.

Sun Jie wants to recruit us, that is to say, we are safe now.However, I don't know what Sun Jie's patience is, and I don't know what his bottom line is, otherwise, we can take the initiative! "

"But no matter how proactive we are, we are still prisoners!" Zheng Zhihu complained with a gloomy face.

It's not rough, that's the reason.

"I know what you're thinking, let me tell you this, Sun Jie's purpose in recruiting us, I can guess one, two, three!"

Zheng Zhilong sat down and said confidently: "My prediction is this, Sun Jie's purpose in recruiting us is nothing more than these few.

One is to look at the power in our hands. Although our fleet is abolished, we still control the trade routes to Japan, Korea and Java. This trade route can bring a lot of profits every year. Sun Jie is a greedy Man, I thought, he had a purpose in that regard.

The second is the chart in our hands. Just now Thief Sun asked us about the situation in Java. I think he must have plans in this regard.

Otherwise, why are you asking us about this?We have been dealing with Hongyi and Flangji the longest. If Sun Jie is interested in these things, he must keep us. "

Zheng Zhilong analyzed it in detail.

It can be seen that his ability is still good, and he can analyze Sun Jie's thoughts thoroughly in a short period of time.

However, even so, the initiative is still in Sun Jie's hands.

Because those two giant steel ships are the biggest reliance.

After a long time, Zheng Zhilong let out a long sigh, and he also understood the matter: "Oh, it's a pity that the initiative is still in Sun Jie's hands.

If we procrastinate too much or Sun Jie loses patience, there may be no way out!
If we surrender to Sun Jie, all our strength will be lost, and our foundation for so many years will become a spectacle.

I am really not reconciled, not reconciled! "

As soon as he said this, Zheng Zhilong began to gnash his teeth again.

No matter who it is, it feels uncomfortable to encounter such a thing.

A few days ago, he was still the famous Emperor Hai, but after a while, he became a prisoner.

Life is still in the hands of others, it is simply a disaster.

"Well, if we could have investigated Sun Jie's strength properly at that time, we wouldn't have come to this point!"

Zheng Zhilong began to regret again.

Regret is useless, even if Zheng Zhilong is given another chance, he will not do it.

At that time, he was one of the most powerful existences on the sea in Asia.

In other words, how could the dragon treat it seriously because of the ant's provocation?

As the stars move, the moon rises.

This empty space was extremely dark, and there was a strong chill in the middle of the night, which made Zheng Zhilong feel chills in his heart.

He has been licking blood on the knife head all year round, and he is not afraid of ghosts and gods at all.

But I don't know why, but at this moment, I feel a little nervous for no reason.

The heavy sleepiness made him unable to open his eyes, and he closed them amid repeated yawns.

A treacherous dream was born in my mind.

He dreamed that he was beheaded by Sun Jie and hung on the sail.

When the wind blows, the eyes are still twinkling, like stars in the sky.

Waking up in a dream several times, I couldn't help but look at the vent, hoping for dawn.

The night was very long tonight. Zheng Zhilong woke up seven or eight times in his sleep, but it never dawned.

He was not the only one who was so anxious, Lei Bunuo suddenly woke up from the bed.

The deck under the feet undulates with the waves, and the eyes are closed, which is the scene I saw outside Tianjin Port that day.

I have never seen such a thing in my life. It was the God of Thunder destroying the world, and it was thunder rolling from the sky.

"If this Eastern Empire really has such powerful weapons, then how can we survive on this land?
I can't even live, let alone do business here.Doesn't God want us to do business here? "

Lei Bunuo walked out of the cabin and came to the deck outside.

As soon as the sea breeze blew, I broke out in a sweat, and my heart that was still in shock was relieved a lot.

The first officer rushed over from the side with a pale face. Under the moonlight, he looked like a dead person, which made people feel terrified.

Lei Bunuo didn't pay attention, and jumped up in fright.

Only when he clearly saw the familiar face of the chief mate did he feel relieved.

"Sir, what kind of weapon did we see that day? Why is it so powerful?!" the first mate asked weakly.

The first mate could be considered a man who had experienced many battles, but he was still so frightened by the scene that day that he fell ill.

This is like a person in the era of cold weapons who suddenly strayed into the era of hot weapons and gunfire. If he didn't have a strong psychological quality, he might have been scared to death long ago.

"Don't think about it, no matter how powerful that kind of weapon is, it is probably only placed on the coast, and it is impossible to load it on the ship. As long as we can be more cautious, nothing will happen!" Lei Bunuo relieved.

Isn't this lying to yourself?

He had never seen Sun Jie's artillery at all, he just used such words to deceive himself.

Now it can only be like this, we can't say that he is really powerful, as long as he comes, we will have no way to survive.

This is also unrealistic.

However, the first officer was still very worried.

If this powerful weapon can really be used on ships, will Java be in danger?
I don't know how far it is from the motherland. If something goes wrong, how can I live?
The first officer felt terrified at the thought of the dense weapons falling on his head.

The sailors on the ship are basically like this.

The barbarians are afraid of power but not moral.

Be nice and kind to them, and they will think you are weak and bully.

If you are cruel to them, they will respect you and admire you.

Only by stepping on them hard in the mud can they look up from the bottom of their hearts.

They didn't see the two giant steel ships. If they saw them, they would only be more terrified at this time.

The sailing battleship was sailing quietly on the sea, when a fog suddenly appeared in front of it.

Looking at the white mist in front of him, Lei Bunuo was startled.

If you lost your way in the fog, it would be a near-death situation.

"I hope I can pass through the fog safely, I hope those weapons can only be used on land!"
