Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1012: South Sea Storm (3)

The most dangerous thing in the world is human beings, because with human beings there will inevitably be rule, which is a powerful means to resist risks and the unknown.

In this process, killing and conquest will occur.

This is the case on land.

That's how it is on the sea.

Even worse at sea.

After all, one has to explore the unknown and fight against danger. In such an environment, those with kind hearts will be killed and enslaved, and only those with cruel hearts can survive.

The great voyages of discovery accelerated the spread of civilization, but this belongs to the strong and the victors, because in the process of continuous exploration, barbarism and killing are the most efficient.

Nanyang.

An island somewhere.

"Ah! Let me go!"

"forgive me!"

"Go ahead and yell, that'll make me excited!"

"Ha ha!!"

In the dark night, all kinds of sounds converged, the sea breeze was blowing, clusters of bonfires were burning, many sparks were flying, and in the reflection of the flames, some shadows were floating.

The man's excited voice.

The sound of a woman wailing.

Already telling something.

It's a carnival.

For those who live on the edge of a knife, there is only one concept that they can agree with in this environment: the strong are respected and they live happily! !
Compared to these places, where anger is venting unbridled, the core of this island presents a different situation.

"Damn it, this deal is a huge loss!"

Li Zhiqi, who was holding the wine jar, looked extremely unhappy and cursed: "We lost more than a dozen warships just to get those little things. Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I would not have done it."

When the people gathered together heard what their deputy commander-in-chief said, many of them twitched their lips.

What is that thing?!

If that stuff is really taken to Dongfan, it can be used to buy more than 20 thousand-ton warships, and they are fully armed!
Although our army lost more than ten warships, they were all sea vessels worth hundreds of tons. The key point was that after fighting these battles, we also won over a lot of people.

"pock!"

As several people were sighing, Li Zhiqi's voice rang out, bringing one of them back to their senses immediately.

"General, your orders."

Chen Ma immediately clasped his fists.

Although Li Zhiqi was the deputy general, he did not like people calling him deputy commander-in-chief. If they wanted to call him that, they should call him commander-in-chief. Someone called him the wrong name before, and was killed by Li Zhiqi.

"Take your people and return to Dongfan soon."

Li Zhiqi said with a sharp look.

"General, do you want to pay a visit to the old man, the factory master, and go to Dongfan to purchase a batch of warships?" Chen Ma said excitedly after hearing this.

"I must meet my godfather."

Li Zhiqi said, "But this time we are not going to buy warships, but armaments."

Ok?
After hearing this, Chen Ma and his companions all looked suspicious.

What our deputy commander-in-chief wants most is to become commander-in-chief as soon as possible, just like Zheng Zhilong, Zu Dashou and others, right?

They obviously looted a lot this time, why didn't they rush to buy warships, but bought armaments instead? They definitely couldn't buy the fully armed thousand-ton warships, after all, this type of new warships were given priority to the Taiwan Strait Fleet.

However, those eliminated from the Taiwan Strait Fleet can be purchased through auction. They may not be as good as the new warships, but they are still sufficient in the South China Sea.

Back then, in order to gain a foothold in Dongfan and to strengthen the Dongfan navy, Wei Zhongxian wanted all kinds of ships, no matter how big or small, and what he could exchange for these ships were official positions.

This is very attractive to many forces in Southeast Asia.

This is Ming Dynasty!!
The Ming Dynasty had many problems on its home ground, which gave rise to many malpractices, and its national strength was not as strong as it had been at its peak. However, outside of the Ming Dynasty, especially in Southeast Asia, it was still a very strong existence in the eyes of many forces and individuals.

This is the advantage brought by the vassal state system.

It’s a pity that the past has been lost.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao picked it up.

"Zu Dashou is preparing to attack the Spaniards on Luzon."

As the others were in doubt, Li Zhiqi narrowed his eyes and said, "This time it's bigger than before. If things go wrong, the Spanish occupying Luzon will be defeated. I'm also ready to get involved. It won't work just in Brunei, as it's too far from Dongfan."

"If we can occupy a place in Luzon as a place for us to settle down, it won't be long before I can become the general commander."

"Also, Brunei has been restless recently. It's not the right time to take action now. Let them fight each other first. When the place we occupy in Luzon is stable, we will strike back!"

"General, can Zu Dashou be trusted?"

After hearing this, Chen Ma showed his worry and said, "Before, one was him and the other was Zheng Zhilong, but they annexed many fleets one after another."

"Among the dozen or so generals, more than half are from these two factions."

"With the manpower we have now, if Zu Dashou does something bad, even if we are not swallowed up by them, I am afraid we will suffer a great loss."

Chen Ma's words were echoed by others.

As time goes by, the situation in the Nanyang region has become increasingly complicated and is quite different from the past, which has also led to many changes in the situation.

“So we need to purchase armaments.”

Li Zhiqi glared and said, "Besides, I am not stupid. How could I not have thought of this? The letter sent by Zu Dashou said that Zheng Zhilong would also be involved."

"If we really want to respond to Zu Dashou and attack Spanish-occupied Luzon together, the prerequisite is that Zheng Zhilong also participates. If he doesn't participate, then we won't talk about it."

"But if we really want to participate, we must also eat this piece of fat meat."

"We must hurry up and do it while there is still time. We can't do such petty things in the future. Don't you want to be the deputy commander-in-chief, or even the commander-in-chief?"

Chen Ma and his party were all excited.

Of course I don’t want to.

Although the official positions they held were the same as those of the Han merchants who bought their positions with real money, or even the pirates, they all belonged to the navy.

But in Dongfan, there are some differences.

For example, any good thing will be given to this outward-looking group of people. Of course, they will be given the gold and silver they deserve, not a single ounce less.

This was what Wei Zhongxian did intentionally.

The purpose is to provoke confrontation.

Only in this way can Dongfan take control of the overall situation and maintain a delicate balance. Otherwise, it is unrealistic and impossible to solve so many problems by relying on Dongfan alone.

"Since you want to, then follow me and do it well!"

Seeing the changes in the men, Li Zhiqi grinned and said, "I won't treat you badly. When we get to eat meat in Luzon, we'll do something big. By then, all of us brothers will be generals, haha!"

"Thank you, General Rong, for your cultivation!!"

Chen Ma and the others stood up, clasped their fists and saluted Li Zhiqi. Seeing this, Li Zhiqi smiled even more...
