I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

The Battle of Liaoluo Bay was undoubtedly a ground-breaking shock to the entire South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty, and even to the entire maritime world. Whether it was the imperial court, the heroes at sea, or even the governments of several countries as far away as Europe, they were obviously confused for a moment.

The East India Company, the invincible one in the world, was defeated!Moreover, the entire army was wiped out and kicked out like a dog. The most important thing is that they were defeated not by any powerful maritime country, but by a group of pirates.

For a time, even the Western world was full of legends about Zheng Zhilong. Of course, most of them were unreliable. The more mainstream theory was that this guy knew black magic and could summon wind and rain to create soldiers. Even Zheng Zhipeng was here. There is a small place in the weird anecdotes. Some people say that he kept a particularly huge sea beast, which could eat the Dutchmen and ships with a single command during battle.

Of course, these are all legends spread among the people. It is impossible for real top people to believe these things. However, in any case, the importance of the Zheng family in countries such as Britain, France, and Spain has suddenly increased a lot. The British even sent an envoy specifically to ask if they still wanted cannons and could exchange them for silk.

As for the Japanese country, not to mention the Tokugawa shogunate, they directly sent a so-called military soldier regiment to him to obey his orders and re-determined trade prices and quantities.

After this battle, Zheng Zhilong's power indeed expanded rapidly. All the remaining forces on the sea, including the Portuguese, surrendered unconditionally, and the only opponent left was Liu Xiang.

In just a few months, Zheng Zhilong completely cleared the waterways between the East and West. His army numbered more than 20. In addition to the majority of Han Chinese, there were also Japanese, Bangzi, and some black people. His fleet size exceeded [-]. The ship became the largest maritime force in the Western Pacific, not counting the land force that was independent of him and directly belonged to Zheng Zhipeng.

Now, let alone Zheng Zhilong, he is not afraid of the Dutch. Even the court is not as respectful as before. Of course, this is also due to the influence of Zheng Zhipeng. Zheng Zhipeng shot Huang Long and recruited the heinous Geng Jingzhong. This is really true in the eyes of the court. It was a bit too treacherous. No one knew what Chongzhen was thinking, but now the Zheng family no longer particularly cares about what the Lord thinks.

When all the dust settled, Zheng Zhipeng took Shang Kexi and a group of Liaodong troops back to the mainland, leaving only Geng Jingzhong and his Dengzhou navy behind, asking him to do some research while training the navy. Forging of cannon and muskets.

He has been away from Zheng Zhiyan for a little too long, and he is a little worried that this kid will not be able to play well. Besides, these days, Zheng Zhipeng has become accustomed to the life of a boss who can call the shots and talk about everything. But these days in Baodao, not only is he no bigger than Zheng Zhilong, he can't even talk to Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao. They are all louder than him, otherwise, no matter how great his achievements are this time, in the eyes of others, he will still be disrespectful to his brother, ignorant of good and bad, ambitious and so on. One or two days will be fine, but as time goes by, he will really feel uncomfortable. .

So he didn't go back to Hangzhou directly, but went to Jiulian Mountain first.

………………

Talking back to Jiulianshan, Zheng Zhiyan felt like he was going crazy in the past few months, but there were still many things going wrong. Only then did he truly understand the difficulty of doing things, and the gap between him and his eldest brother and fourth brother.

Originally, they sent troops to Fujian under the pretext of suppressing bandits to see if there was anyone who needed help during the naval battle. However, they didn't expect that Zheng Zhipeng's trip to the north went so smoothly. It went so well that they even recruited new recruits to help. There was no need anymore, so he simply took root in Jiulian Mountain, and then sent Yan Yingyuan to pick up the refugees from Ningbo. This was originally part of the original plan.

It was only when Zheng Zhiyan, the special girl, really started to resettle the refugees that he felt that this mess was much more complicated than fighting!

In Jiulian Mountain, the soldiers and the people plus one piece, that is the food, drink and diarrhea for 10,000+ people, and each has its own hilltop and its own place. He does not want to be too majestic. Many things can only be discussed with the bosses of each village. There is no way around this, but these bosses each have their own agendas, making it very difficult to manage.

After the victims of the Ningbo disaster arrived, we had to build new houses for them, occupy the vacant land at the foot of the mountains, and temporarily provide them with food. Anyway, it was a myriad of things. One suffered the loss and the other took advantage. There were endless things to do every day. Son, if he were to take care of it all by himself, he would be exhausted to death.

Unfortunately, among the people under him, there are very few who can be called talents. Even among Yi Cong, there are not many people who can read and write.

If he was just busy, then that was fine. The key was how to control his subordinates. He really couldn't figure it out. In just a few months, Jiulian Mountain was already covered with hills. Especially since Yan Yingyuan left, every time Thinking of this incident, Zheng Zhiyan would criticize Yan Yingyuan.

After all, Yan Yingyuan's folks are brave in fighting against Japanese invaders. There is still a large shipyard in Ningbo that has just started to operate. Now that the war is over, they are of course anxious to go home and catch up on production, especially since he and Luo Chao and others are quite at odds with each other. , I even felt uncomfortable staying for one more day. After picking up the victims, they didn’t participate in the resettlement at all and just took them back.

However, without Yan Yingyuan, Jiulian Mountain did not stop there. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there will be no struggle. The aborigines who surrendered in Jiulian Mountain, and the victims from Ningbo, Every day, more than ten or twenty big and small things happened, which gave him a headache that would kill him.

So Zheng Zhiyan had no choice but to lift up Luo Chao, who was either a disaster victim or a surrendered citizen, hoping that he could help her solve the problem. Unexpectedly, he and the black bear started to secretly confront each other again, which really annoyed him to death.

Therefore, when Zheng Zhiyan received the letter and learned that Zheng Zhipeng was coming soon, she was not at all upset about the loss of power. Instead, she became happy and felt a sense of pleasure in trying to make a difference.

At this time, Luo Chao, who still didn't know that the fourth master was about to return, saw another beautiful scene.

But inside the red building, there was a soft tassel curtain, a flower-painted bed, a scene of rolling clouds and rain, bursts of laughter, not caring about the broad daylight, and even the minions standing guard dozens of meters outside the building could be heard clearly. People didn't care at all. The picture was so harmonious that they didn't dare to describe it in detail.

But Luo Chao suddenly stretched out his big hand and hit the woman hard, beating her repeatedly. The woman who was beaten screamed, cried and laughed, and had to be called daddy. Taking a closer look, the woman was not the so-called father. Who is the white widow who is more than a woman?

A heroine who is usually very fierce and domineering, but she doesn't want to be able to control everything. In Luo Chao's hands, she is as obedient as a yang. She can do whatever he is asked to do. When the love is at its peak, it is better than in the city. The cheapest brothel girl is even more despicable. She is so pitiful that she has been severely punished recently, which is beyond description.

Anyway, the White Widow is the second most powerful person in the Jiulian Mountains after Black Bear, and all her belongings have fallen into the hands of Luo Chao. Coupled with Luo Chao's original power and prestige, this guy is in the Jiulian Mountains. The mountain seems to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Not to mention that Yan Yingyuan has left. Even if he has not left, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat him.
