Ming Zuo

Chapter 599 Temporary intention
"Who is this Zheng Zhilong?"

On the bow of the boat, a capable and rebellious one-eyed young general stood beside Liao Zhongjian.

I saw him holding the mast with one hand and looking at the sea with the other, like a wolf king patrolling his territory.

"Zheng Zhilong looks like a wealthy gentry, but he is actually a hero. Although he has no ambition, he has a plan. Anyone who underestimates him will not end well."

Liao Zhongjian didn't dare to neglect, and expressed his views on Zheng Zhilong.

"How can a person without ambition make such a big fortune?"

The young general couldn't believe it.

Liao Zhongjian laughed lightly when he heard this.

"Minister Zuo, think about it, if Zheng Zhilong is really ambitious, how can his foundation be so small?"

The person standing next to Liao Zhongjian was the freshly-baked Minister of the Navy and Commander of the Navy... Zuo Hua.

When the navy was established and the top general was vacant, everyone talked about it, but they didn't understand Zuo Menggeng's intentions.

Zuo Hua's airborne landing this time caused even more discussion.

Because no one thought that he would be the top general of the navy.

But when you think about it, it makes sense.

After all, Zuo Hua is Zuo Menggeng's confidant. Although he suffered a crime before and didn't know where he went, Zuo Hua was a senior general at the brigade level before hiding.

If he is still in the army, he is at least a deputy commander now.

The real reason, only Zuo Hua himself knows.

Based on what he did, the danger of exposure on land is too great.

Had to go to sea to avoid the wind.

Although it was his first time to go to sea, he finally became the commander of the independent military branch. This result made him very satisfied.

And to make a difference at sea, Zheng Zhilong cannot get around it.

In Shandong, the person who knows Zheng Zhilong best is Liao Zhongjian.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to go to sea, Zuo Hua seized the time to get more information through Liao Zhongjian.

"The commander-in-chief has something to say. Although Zheng Zhilong is so majestic, it is a pity that he is just a watchdog. Now is the era of great voyages. The real wealth and national destiny are in the depths of the ocean. But Zheng Zhilong only dares to stay on the shore. Ken took a step into the deep sea, and missed a god-given opportunity in vain. For this person, we must pay attention to him tactically, but strategically..."

Liao Zhongjian didn't finish, but Zuo Hua understood.

"Since that's the case, why sell artillery to Zheng Zhilong?"

This is also what Zuo Hua couldn't understand.

Since Zheng Zhilong has already been regarded as an opponent in his bones, why did he still sell weapons to him?
Zuo Hua felt weird when he thought that these weapons might hit him on the head in the future.

He is a pure soldier, and his thinking is relatively simple.

And Liao Zhongjian is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he must understand and master the overall strategy in order to work.

"Above the sea, although Zheng Zhilong is powerful, he is not the most powerful. Besides Zheng Zhilong, there are also Dutch, Portuguese, Spaniards and Englishmen. Especially the Dutch, who have always been eyeing my Chinese territory, and now they are even more A stronghold has been established on the island of Taiwan. The current strength of our army is still unable to compete with these Europas, so we need Zheng Zhilong to be at the front."

Zuo Hua just didn't understand, but he wasn't stupid.

He nodded, finally understanding what was going on.

"My young master, when did you become so insidious?"

Liao Zhongjian's head was full of black lines, and this was not easy to answer.

Since he joined the army, he has been honored and honored for generations, just like everyone else, calling him Zuo Menggeng's position.

But after the last encounter, Zuo Hua changed his mind again.No matter what the occasion, he always called Zuo Menggeng the young master.

After traveling the route once, I am already familiar with it, and the fleet is heading south very quickly.

It was still approaching Chongming Island late at night, but this time it was not for transporting goods.

"This is the commander-in-chief's article. After taking it back, it can be printed as much as it can be printed, and distributed as much as it can be distributed. There is only one requirement, and it must be seen by more people."

Commanded by Liao Zhongjian, the manuscript was unloaded from the boat and handed over to Xu Erjue who came to meet him.

With the light of the torch, Xu Erjue read the article on the spot.

"Hahaha, I don't know what Zhang Ximing's face will be when he sees this article? Because of this article, the world's literary world is afraid that there will be a bloody storm."

Liao Zhongjian also expected it.

"The whole world is dead, and all horses are silent. We just need this kind of majestic writing to inspire people's hearts and restore the sky and the earth to a clear sky."

Xu Erjue came here with the intention of Songjiang Mansion.

"I'm afraid that the situation will go out of control, and the industry of Songjiang Mansion will be impacted."

Zuo Hua reassured him.

"The Marine Corps is not far away, and if something happens, reinforcements will be available immediately."

This is what Xu Erjue wanted.

"That's great, so everyone can rest assured."

That night, the fleet continued to head south, still heading for Zhoushan.

But this time, the Zheng family sent important people to approach him.

As majestic as a tiger, standing on the shore, the sea and sky are darkened by it.

Zuo Hua stood at the bow of the boat, fixed his eyes on this person, knowing that this was a ruthless person rolling in a sea of ​​blood.

"Unexpectedly, Second Master Zheng came here in person. I'm sorry and disrespectful."

Liao Zhongjian made a recommendation for Zuo Hua.

"Hahaha, Brother Zuo Hua is able to swim in the sea at a young age, he must be a great talent, and he will be more close to him in the future. The sea is very strange, young people must be careful."

Zuo Hua let out a long laugh.

"Zuo Mou doesn't understand anything, he's just a stunned young man. He has an unscrupulous temper, and if he thinks something is wrong, he will just kill him. He just needs Mr. Zheng's guidance."

The two stood facing each other, their eyes met, and they all smelled a strong smell of blood from each other's body.

The delivery of the artillery was very smooth.

Zheng Zhihu came here in person, mainly because he was worried about Shandong's falsification.

This thing is a matter of life and death, and it is impossible to be too cautious.

He personally inspected every cannon that was unloaded.

It turned out that the gentleman's belly was measured with the heart of a villain.

Each of the cannons cast in Shandong is exactly the same as the previous samples.

"This time I have accepted General Zuo's favor, and there will be great rewards in the future."

Liao Zhongjian had heard of it.

"You and I are an alliance of brothers. Mutual benefit and mutual assistance are what we should."

Zheng Zhihu couldn't wait for a moment.

"The battle is imminent, and the outcome is unpredictable. Please forgive me for not being able to stay for long. Zheng will make up for the crime of negligence in the future."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zuo Hua suddenly said: "This junior and Mr. Zheng became friends at first sight, and we hated seeing each other too late. I don't know if we can be on the same boat. Although we only have a meager strength, it would be great if we can wave the flag for Mr. Zheng during the battle." .”

He actually wanted to go to Fujian in person to observe the battle between the Zheng family and the Dutch...

"Minister Left!"

Liao Zhongjian was shocked and wanted to stop it.

I didn't say anything about it before I came here, it was obviously Zuo Hua's impromptu idea.

However, as the admiral of the navy, it is too risky for him to rush into a third-party battlefield.

Zuo Hua was very stubborn.

"This has nothing to do with you."

He just looked at Zheng Zhihu, slightly provocative.

I was afraid that Zheng Zhihu would not agree.
