I am the carpenter king

The sound of the cannon was rumbling, the water continuously splashed on the surface of the water, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the sea.The wreckage of the battleship was floating everywhere, and many sailors were swimming in the sea. Even though they knew that the chance of surviving was very small, they still kept swimming.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the fleet in front of him with a stern expression, his face was gloomy and terrifying, the battle had already started for half an hour, and he had already lost one-third of his manpower!This made Zheng Zhilong hurt to the bone, and there was only one thought in his heart, which was to regret.

This was on the way back to Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong wiped out the Dutch fleet two days ago, which put Zheng Zhilong in a good mood.Originally thought that the time for him to unify the Taiwan Strait was coming, but when Zheng Zhilong returned to Keelung Port, he fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

"Brother, the court's artillery fire is too fierce, their warships are too powerful, we are no match!" Zheng Zhihu panted heavily after wiping the sea water off his face, and came to Zheng Zhilong's side, and said loudly.

The sound of cannons did not annihilate Zheng Zhihu's voice, but made Zheng Zhilong hear it more clearly!I was too careless. I heard that the imperial court had a navy, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful!

"Have you connected with the people on the island? How's the situation on the island?" Zheng Zhilong didn't turn his head, and his voice didn't fluctuate at all, as if all this wasn't on his mind.

Zheng Zhihu on the one side knows his elder brother very well. Although his elder brother has not lost his temper, Zheng Zhihu knows that his elder brother is out of anger.This can be seen from his trembling hands, he is just suppressing his anger.

"Brother, someone came over from the island just now, bringing news from the island! Now the island has been occupied by the imperial court's army, and the army is very strong, so we won't be able to go there. The one who led the army is Xu Xinsu , he has been on the island, and understands us"!When Xu Xinsu was mentioned, Zheng Zhihu's teeth itch with hatred.For such a traitor, Zheng Zhihu can be said to hate it to the bone.

Zheng Zhilong also frowned, he didn't expect Xu Xinsu to take refuge in the imperial court, what a frenzy!Although the relationship between Zheng Zhilong and Xu Xinsu is not good.But everyone is always the same kind of person, and now Xu Xinsu has betrayed himself and others, which makes Zheng Zhilong very angry.

"Brother, let's go quickly! The officers and soldiers have already surrounded us, so we can just leave if we don't leave! If we keep the green hills, we don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Our strength loss is too serious. If we continue to fight, we will be hitting stones with eggs!" Zheng Zhihu looked at Not far away, the warships of the officers and soldiers approached, with gloomy and terrifying faces, and said loudly to Zheng Zhilong.

During the period of time.A few more warships were sunk, and Zheng Zhilong's teeth were almost shattered!The artillery of the official army is very good, and its range is much farther than its own.His own boats were no match at all, and some of them rushed over, but were sunk by the fire dragons of the officers and soldiers!

Gently close your eyes.Zheng Zhilong glanced back at his younger brother, and said in a deep voice, "Where else can we go? With such powerful warships in the army, where is our shelter!"

"Brother, the world is so big, there is no room for us! We can go to Japan, or to Nanyang, as long as we leave here. We can still do a great job!" Zheng Zhihu looked at his elder brother nervously, he didn't understand the ambition Brother Zhizhi, what happened today!

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the Wa country is no longer the original Wa country, and the current Wa country is a closed country.What's more, I participated in the coup in the country of Wa, and I am afraid that I will be wiped out in the country of Wa.As for Nanyang.It was basically the territory of the Dutch and the Spaniards, and if I went there by myself, the result would not be the same.

"Brother, there is still a chance of life if we leave. If we wait here, we will die!" Zheng Zhihu held Zheng Zhilong, with a begging look on his face, and said loudly.

Slowly nodded, Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "You are right, I, Zheng Zhilong, can't die here! Let the fleet turn around and we go straight to Nanyang! The sky is big, this is just a family business, without us The three brothers are earning!"

Yu Zigao stood on the bow of the boat, watching Zheng Zhilong's boat turn around, a look of worry flashed across his face, he looked back at Zhang Yukun, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, Zheng Zhilong will run away if this continues! Their warship Although the range is insufficient, the speed is not slow!"

"Run? Where are you going? If I ran away just after contacting them, then I might not be able to stop them. If I want to run now, it's too late!" Zhang Yunkun looked at the battlefield confidently, with a smile on his face, a look of wisdom. The way I hold it.

When Zheng Zhilong turned the bow, the battleship quickly moved forward at full speed, but Zheng Zhilong soon discovered something was wrong.A few unremarkable boats appeared in front of him, but they were far away from him, and they were not within his range.

But this is not what worries Zheng Zhilong, but what is intercepted in front of him!Zheng Zhilong is very familiar with these things, this is a mine!But these are not mines that Zheng Zhilong is familiar with, because this is a brand new equipment from the Firearms Factory, Hunjianglong mines!

Unlike traditional mines, this kind of mine is not a timed mine, let alone a traditional detonation mine, but a more advanced trigger mine.It can float on the water surface for three hours without being silent. As long as the warship touches it, it will definitely be detonated.

"Brother, it's all mines! What should we do?" Zheng Zhihu's face was gloomy, looking at the mines in front of him, he suddenly felt powerless.

Zheng Zhilong's face suddenly darkened, with a bit of ferocity on his face, and he said loudly: "Fire at the mines and detonate all the mines! Let the boat detonate in front, and if it doesn't work, send the water ghost into the water. Eliminate the mines as soon as possible , we run out of time!" Zheng Zhilong quickly made arrangements and passed on the order.

Suddenly there was another explosion on the sea, the sound of mines and artillery blended together, and the entire sea was filled with gunpowder.

"Brother, it's too late! The officers and soldiers are catching up, we can't get out!" Zheng Zhihu looked downcastly, looking at Zheng Zhilong, waiting for his elder brother's decision.

"Since ancient times, the only one who has suffered is death, that's all! Raise the white flag, let's surrender!" Zheng Zhilong closed his eyes in pain, his face was ashamed, and his whole body was trembling.

Zheng Zhihu looked at his elder brother in disbelief, his lips trembling, and wanted to say something several times, but he didn't say it.

Looking at the white flag raised high on the opposite side, Yu Zigao frowned slightly, and wanted to order them to be wiped out, but Zhang Yukun on the side stopped him: "Accepting their surrender, arresting the living and the dead, the credit is not the same Yes. Capturing the enemy chieftain alive is a great achievement!"

"Yes, uncle!" Of course Yu Zigao knew this, but he wanted to eliminate Zheng Zhilong directly, always thinking that keeping this person would be a disaster!But Zhang Yukun said so, Yu Zigao just listened.

Beijing City, Forbidden City, Early Dynasty!

Emperor Tianqi glanced over the faces of the ministers, stretched out his hand and shook the memorial in his hand, and said loudly: "This is the secret document that Dongchang just uploaded, and I'm afraid you love ministers don't know what it says in it! "Wang Chengen, who turned his gaze to one side, said in a deep voice: "Wang Chengen, come and read it to all your lovers!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen took the memorial respectfully and unfolded it gently!

The ministers below were suddenly a little dazed, what's wrong?Could it be that something happened?Judging from Emperor Tianqi's tone of voice, it seems that this matter is not trivial.There are many people who are looking at the nose with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths. No one dares to look at Emperor Tianqi with their heads down.

"Your minister Cao Huachun respectfully invites Shengan! Since I came to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, my ministers have tried their best to investigate and find out that many officials in Shanxi have committed illegal activities. Officials extort money and extort money, and the people suffer unspeakably. The governor of Shaanxi, Xian Ke, is greedy and extortionate in one place in Shaanxi. .Since the beginning of this year, Shaanxi has been hit by drought, and many places have lost their harvest! There are many powerful and rich merchants in Shaanxi, serious land annexation, and people displaced. In July, Wang Er, a farmer in Baishui County, Shaanxi, led hundreds of refugees to attack the county seat and kill Zhang Yaodou, the county magistrate. Shaanxi Governor Xian Ke feared that the Holy Lord would punish him, so he bribed court officials with huge sums of money, and concealed the incident. The refugees are growing rapidly, and the current situation in Shaanxi is very good!" Slowly closing the memorial, Wang Chengen carefully put it back on the table of Emperor Tianqi At this moment, he finally understood why Emperor Tianqi was so angry.

Not only Wang Cheng'en, but the ministers below also knew about it, and everyone's faces suddenly brightened!This is a big deal!This kind of salty restraint is really good. The majestic governor of Shaanxi has governed Shaanxi into a mess.This is government coercion against the people!The rebels have already breached the county seat, and have reached the point of killing the county magistrate. This Xianke wants to hide it even if he needs it.

"My loves, I don't seem to be well-informed about the news. It took me so long to get the secret report from Dongchang. I don't know who knew it first, why didn't you tell me?" Emperor Tianqi's tone was very peaceful, his face There was even a slight smile on his face.

"Your servant deserves death!" Everyone fell to their knees on the ground and shouted loudly!

This was no longer the time when Emperor Tianqi had just ascended the throne, and he needed to shout loudly to vent his dissatisfaction.Emperor Tianqi only needed to speak softly, and in this empty hall, it was like the roar of a giant.

Gently picked up the memorial, Emperor Tianqi tapped it lightly, stood up slowly, and said: "What the literati pay attention to is that the literati and bureaucrats rule the world together with the emperor, am I right? Govern it for you, but how do you help me govern this country? I trust you a lot, and you repay my trust like this? The people are forced to rebel, and it has reached the point of besieging cities and killing officials. I still don't know, what use do I need you people?"

"The emperor calm down!" Everyone knelt on the ground, and some of them were already trembling!
