I am the carpenter king

Taiwan is a mountainous place, and there are many wild beasts living on the undeveloped mountains at this time.Since discovering this, Yan Siqi fell in love with hunting.Yan Siqi, who originally lived on the sea, is very satisfied with the vast land here.

On this day, Yan Siqi brought his main generals out to hunt again. The atmosphere these days was really depressing, and Yan Siqi felt that he needed to vent.The Dutchman Bryan is still on the island and has been here for three days. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry.However, the negotiations slowly fell into an awkward situation, and it seemed difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement.

Zheng Yiguan's horse's head was half a horse behind Yan Siqi, and his heart was not on hunting at all, and he felt a little depressed.People like myself have been born and died for so many years. They thought they could do a big business, but they didn't expect to be angry with the Dutch at this time.

Glancing at Yan Siqi beside him, Zheng Yiguan suddenly felt that this person seemed very incompetent, he was thinking about developing here all day long, completely forgetting that he was a maritime merchant.In Zheng Yiguan's heart, people like himself shouldn't live like this.Although this is a good base, it is also a base!

The lives of people like myself should be licking blood with knife heads. When there is business to do, they will do business, and when there is no business to do, they will go out to grab it.Whether it is a merchant ship or the Dutch, they are all within their range of looting.The entire Taiwan Strait should be the territory of people like myself, and if you want to go from here, you have to pay money!The same is true on the shore, there are so many rich cities along the coast of Daming, occasionally going to make a vote and coercing some people, that is the life I should live.

Establish a kingdom on the sea, a huge kingdom, and he is the master here.Looking at Yan Siqi once, Zheng Yiguan suddenly felt that Yan Siqi was not suitable for these things.

"Yiguan. What are you thinking? So preoccupied?" A group of people came to the high hill, reined in their horses, looked back at Zheng Yiguan, and saw him sitting on the horse shaking back and forth, looking absent-minded. , then asked with a smile.

Only then did Zheng Yiguan come back to his senses.Naturally, he couldn't show what he was thinking, so he sighed and said, "I'm thinking about the Dutchman, and it's not an option if things drag on like this!"

When Yan Siqi heard him talking about this, she felt a little helpless on her face, and said: "Let's go over there and talk about it!" After speaking, he got off his horse, handed his whip to the young man beside him, and walked towards A big stone at the place walked over.

He pulled Zheng Yiguan to sit down.Yan Siqi pondered for a moment, then said: "The intention of the Dutch is obvious, they want to drag us into cannon fodder!"

"That's right! Brian has already said that the regular Dutch fleet will not be dispatched to attack Xiamen this time. They will find some Dutch pirates and add our people to make a vote!" Zheng Yiguan After thinking for a while, he continued: "The Dutch don't want to tear their faces apart. They want to monopolize the court's trade. After tearing their faces, it's hard to talk."

"I'm worried about one thing. If we do it together with the Dutch, I'm afraid we will become bargaining chips when we negotiate peace with the imperial court! They will definitely betray us and sell us to the imperial court." Of course Yan Siqi understood, If something goes wrong, it is definitely not the Dutch who will be hated.But these people themselves.

Since ancient times, in the process of war, although the invaders are hateful, everyone fights back and forth, you kill me.I will kill you!Although the mutual hatred is great, it is pure fighting.But traitors and traitors are definitely the most hated, even more hated than invaders!The kind of betrayal from the same clan is what makes people gnash their teeth the most.

"This is not a possibility, but a certainty! The court will definitely let the Dutch destroy us, even if the court does not let the Dutch destroy us, they will do so!" Zheng Yiguan and Yan Siqi have different views. His viciousness towards the Dutch Know more deeply.

The conversation between the two fell into an awkward situation, no one was talking, and they were all thinking quietly.

After a while, Zheng Yiguan suddenly raised his head, looked at Yan Siqi and asked, "Brother, how many ships do we have now? I'm not talking about merchant ships, but ships for war!"

After hearing Zheng Yiguan's words, Yan Siqi was taken aback for a moment, looked at Zheng Yiguan in disbelief, and finally said in a deep voice: "When we escaped from Japan, we took 24 ships, all of which were warships. .Thirteen of these were large ships, each armed with ten guns. The other eleven were small ships, each armed with six guns."

Zheng Yiguan on the side nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Brother, have you gained anything else after arriving in Taiwan?"

"Of course there are. Now there are two more big ships and six more small boats. We have fifteen big ships and seventeen small boats in total!" Yan Siqi felt a little helpless in his heart.

Zheng Yiguan didn't speak, just sat there quietly, frowning, as if he was thinking about some serious problem.In Zheng Zhilong's view, Yan Siqi's strength is still weaker.Although their ships are said to be warships, most of them are half warships and half merchant ships.

However, as Li Dan's adoptive son, Zheng Yiguan is also very clear that his adoptive father has no less than a hundred ships of various types.There are almost forty ships that can be used for combat!This kind of strength is indeed the first in the Taiwan Strait.Coupled with the golden combination of Li Dan and Xu Xinsu, the Dutch did not dare to provoke them easily.

For the Dutch, they have fifteen main battleships, all of which are used for combat!As for the other ships, there are dozens of them, and they seem to be the weakest.

But Zheng Yiguan knew very well in his heart that the Dutch warship was bigger than his own big ship. It was a huge ship with 36 cannons installed on a single warship!On fifteen warships, three thousand soldiers, all gunfire!The entire fleet is well-trained and armed to the teeth. In a real fight, I and Li Dan's people combined may not be able to fight.

But if he joins forces with Li Dan, he will not be afraid of the Dutch!But the word interest is hard to say clearly.After all, Li Dan was very close to the Dutchman, so he didn't have a good impression of Yan Siqi.If I go up to talk to Li Dan about this matter, I'm afraid I will hit a soft nail.

In fact, Zheng Yiguan has some reservations. He also has a team, but he secretly trains them in the name of doing business on weekdays.In the Taiwan Strait, although there are giants like Li Dan and the Dutch, there are also many scattered small forces.They usually do business, and occasionally do business with pirates.

When doing business, as long as you pay a little travel expenses, you can do it safely!Among this group of people, Zheng Yiguan has a team, which is led by his two most outstanding younger brothers.But this is a secret force, the root of Zheng Yiguan, the root of the entire Zheng family, and he doesn't think it will be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Yiguan, what are you thinking? Don't you want to fight the Dutch? Our chances of winning are very small! I'm afraid it will be difficult to end at that time, and now we can't go back to Japan. If Taiwan is gone, we can't There will be no shelter!" Yan Siqi persuaded Zheng Yiguan with a little worry, seeing that Zheng Yiguan was thinking hard and seemed to really have this plan.

After waving his hand, Zheng Yiguan said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this point, it is already very difficult! Tell the brothers to step up their drills and be prepared! As for the Dutch, if there is no other way, they can only fight each other Already!"

"Yiguan, I thought of a way, what do you think?" Yan Siqi saw Zheng Yiguan's expression, after thinking about it, he decided to tell his solution.

"Brother, why should you be so polite? Our brothers are life-and-death friends, and the elder brother is so polite, how can I let the younger brother deal with it?" Zheng Yiguan seemed to feel that his tone just now was a bit wrong, and Zheng Yiguan quickly took it back.

Smiling, Yan Siqi said nonchalantly: "Officer, since the Dutch will organize a team of pirates, this is probably our chance. We will win the Dutch request and cooperate with them in raiding Xiamen, but we must let the Dutch The pirates rushed in first!"

"In this way, we can shift the responsibility to the Dutch! If we deliberately dress up, it will definitely have a good effect. In that way, the Dutch will have no way to get away. What's more, Xiamen is Li Nai Dan’s lair, if necessary, we can make some moves in this regard, once Li Dan and the Dutch turn their backs, we will have an opportunity!” Before Yan Siqi could finish speaking, Zheng Yiguan continued.

"Okay! Good idea, big brother is really good! This matter is done like this, let's go back and find Brian for a showdown!" Zheng Yiguan laughed and looked at Yan Siqi, with a playful look on his face.

The two looked at each other and laughed, and went hunting together!

However, Zheng Yiguan's plan could not be realized because Yan Siqi fell ill!Yan Siqi is just 37 years old this year. Because of practicing martial arts on weekdays, his body is very strong.It's just that when I was hunting that day, I was blown to the ground by a gust of wind. I didn't feel much at the time, but after I came back, I was bedridden.

Zheng Yiguan was standing by Yan Siqi's bed right now, looking at Yan Siqi's pale face, his expression was very ugly.He grabbed the doctor and said loudly: "Take a good look, it's just an occasional cold, how could it be so serious? My elder brother is in such good health, how could he be bedridden?"

"The second master, the younger one only knows a little bit about medical skills, and can tell that the master is suffering from a cold, but these medicines have no effect. The younger one also wants to save the elder master, but the younger one's medical skills are limited!" The doctor was about to cry, but he was helpless.

"Yiguan, come here!" Yan Siqi slowly opened his eyes, and greeted Zheng Yiguan with trembling lips, as if he had something to say, his brows were tightly frowned. (To be continued..)
