The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 286 Layout Zhoushan
Yu Zigao was shocked when he heard the battle report, and hastily mobilized soldiers from Min'an, Xinghua, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou towns to gather in Fujian Zhongzuo, which is later known as Xiamen, for strict defense.

Zheng Zhilong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly when he heard about it: "Zigao's dude? Just read his father's book, An Zhibing?"

Zheng Yiguan was not afraid of Yu Zigao's heavy army gathering at all, and took the initiative to attack the center and left office. The two sides fought again in Xiamen, and Yu Zigao was defeated again. He fled to Sanchahe, but Zheng Zhilong did not pursue him.

In the face of Zheng Zhilong's challenge, Yu Zigao, who shy away from the opportunity and failed to make any achievements, was impeached. It is a pity that no one in the South China Sea dared to replace Yu Zigao as the commander-in-chief of Fujian.

So Yu Zigao is now staying in the original position to take the crime and make meritorious service.The imperial court shook the mountain and shook the tiger, and the long-legged deputy general Chen Xifan was arrested by Tiqi and sent to Zhao Prison in the capital. The officialdom in Fujian was shaken for a while, and everyone racked their brains to deal with the increasingly powerful Zheng Yiguan.

In the end, everyone said it was Zheng Yiguan in Zhao'an, but it was a pity that Zheng Yiguan's repeated battles and victories were just when he was in the limelight. He contacted the court officials several times and was very dissatisfied with the price offered by the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Yiguan is a profit-seeking pirate and a sea merchant. He has no concept of country and nation at all. He knows that he can do big business with as much money as he has. He decided to scare the Ming Dynasty. If he accepts the recruitment, he will definitely get more benefits. .

He plundered Fujian, Guangzhou, and the coast of Guangxi. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Zhilong led a fleet to attack Zhangpu in southern Fujian, and plundered Kinmen, Zhongzuo, Jinghai, Jiazi and other places in Guangdong.

Soon after, he returned to Fujian and attacked Quanzhou and Xiamen again, attacked Tongshan, and fell into the old town.

Zheng Yiguan is so awesome, he can fight wherever he wants in Fujian and the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, come and go as he wants, and make the looting industry bigger and bigger.

What Huang Sheng finds a little funny is the literati's Spring and Autumn writing style. Zheng Chenggong is a national hero, and his deeds are remarkable.

But his father, Zheng Yiguan, was a short-sighted pirate. Those literati actually wrote down the joke that although Zheng Yiguan plundered Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, he did nothing to the people.

The pirates were innocent?There are still people who believe such a joke, which is really a joke in the world.

The pirates can be united, of course, because they can give them enough benefits, so that they can share gold and silver, eat wine and meat, and grab beautiful women recklessly.

Zheng Yiguan doesn't burn, kill and loot, how can he have money to support such a huge army?When he bombarded the city, he kept the people away? When he sank the merchant ship, he rescued the sailors aboard?
Even if he has a bodhisattva heart, most of his subordinates are old gangsters who have only been together for about a year. Will he be able to control the sight of gold, silver, treasures and beauties?

Huang Sheng thinks it's pure nonsense, Zheng Yiguan is a pirate, no different from any pirate, the only difference is that he gave birth to a good son.

It's a pity that his son didn't want to see him either, and finally parted ways with him.

The South China Sea is going, and it should not be too late, otherwise Zheng Yiguan will be recruited by the court and become a naval guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court recruited this boy, but it became a burden, and he had to pay him for the warship, and this boy became black and white. No matter how bad the navy in Fujian was before he surrendered, he still belonged to the imperial court.

Since Zheng Yiguan called for security, the Fujian navy has been named Zheng. Fortunately, his son Zheng Chenggong took most of them away, otherwise he would be taken by Zheng Zhilong, a slave, to honor the slaves.

With the strength of the Huang family, Zheng Yiguan can't be destroyed for the time being, but they can join forces with Li Guozhu and Yu Zigao to teach him a lesson and weaken his strength.

At sea, relying entirely on strength to speak, Zheng Yiguan has been expanding rapidly since he gained power, and is invincible. Huang Sheng took the warship to give him a fat beating, and it is estimated that there will be problems in his internal affairs soon.

Pirates form gangs to rob more efficiently. They have no pursuit and no belief.

The strategic purpose this time is not to destroy Zheng Yiguan, but to make it impossible for him to be recruited by the court. As long as Zheng Yiguan is beaten once and cries for his father and mother, the Ming Dynasty's confidence in suppressing bandits will return.

The propaganda team will cooperate again and hold a complaint meeting to accuse Zheng Yiguan of the pirate group's atrocities in the coastal city, which will make Zheng Yiguan's reputation rotten.

In the future, that idiot Xiong Wencan will be the governor of Fujian as in history, and I am afraid that he will not be able to recruit the criminal pirate leader Zheng Yiguan who is well known to the soldiers and civilians in Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi.

After listening to Ye Chengjing's introduction, Huang Sheng said: "My fleet can help you deliver the goods to Nanyang and transport the goods you want to buy back to Daming, but there needs to be a port for transshipment in the south! It can’t be under the watchful eyes of the public, after all, people’s words are scary!”

Wu Xiang, Li Wenyou, Ye Chengjing, etc. are all excellent people. Their maritime trade has already started to use the Fushan Port operated by the Huang family for supplies. We all know that most of the Huang family's industries are located on the island.

It is indeed too far to go to Fujian from Fushan Port. If the mighty warships are replenishing in South Zhili, it will be too eye-catching, and it is definitely not appropriate.

Ye Chengjing slapped his thigh and said, "One of my family's sons is now promising. Now he is the commander of Dinghaiwei. There are too many islands under his jurisdiction, and almost all of those islands have natural deep-water ports."

Wu Xiang came to Huang Sheng and said, "My lord, I don't know. Most of Dinghaiwei's jurisdiction are islands. Many islands that are more than ten times larger than Huangjiawan Island are not populated. You can take a few of them to operate. , and benefit the people of one side!"

Wu Xiang saw the rapid rise of Huangjiawan Island with his own eyes, and knew the strength and level of great talents. He and the Huang family were the best business partners, and purchased a large amount of raw materials and sold them to the Huang family.

From coke, coal, and clay in Liaodong to nickel, copper, and medicinal materials in Yunnan, he also bought a lot of wool, beef, tendon, and alkali from Mongolia and transported them to Huangjiawan Island.

Of course, the porcelain, Songjiang cloth, soap gift boxes, cars, glassware, and 'Xifenglie' liquor sold by the Huang family to him only made the Wu family face the market outside the customs, and so on, which also made him a lot of money.

If the Huang family really manages an island more than ten times larger than Huangjiawan Island and takes root in Zhejiang, the first beneficiary will be Wu Xiang, the long-legged general.

Of course he will be happy to see the results, and will spare no effort to provide help.Because he knew Lord Huang's character, it was absolutely impossible for anyone who helped the Huang family to suffer.

How could Huang Sheng not know about the Zhoushan Islands? Not only did he know about it, but he also visited Mount Putuo.

The coast of the Ming Dynasty was completely opposite to that of the later generations. It was very desolate. Zhoushan was a coastal defense fortress with two thousand households in the center and left of the center.

Zhoushan is too big, it is the fourth largest island in China, there are two thousand households in Ming Dynasty guarding it, there is no county government, it is a military zone, the Huang family is not strong enough at the moment, there is no starting from the beginning, so we can only take it slowly in the future.

Huang Sheng was thinking hard, and Ye Chengjing said: "Master Huang, this time the students came to the capital because Dinghaiwei Ye Haowu sent the navy warships to send the students to Tianjin Wei. The students are very familiar with there."
