Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "What, Hongyi's ship is missing?"

    Zheng Zhilong was shocked.

    "Yes, it's called the 'Viking'. It was a battleship that set off from Taiwan and disappeared later." His brother Zheng Zhibao said: "We searched for it along the way, and we can confirm that it was plundered by pirates."

    Zheng Zhilong¡¯s brows furrowed tightly.

    Hongyi¡¯s battleship disappeared, which was a huge blow to his authority.

    Wherever the Zheng family's flag went, pirates all fled. But now, he had just reached an armistice agreement with Hongyi and restarted trade, but he suffered such a blow.

    Zheng Zhilong suppressed the anger in his heart: "The 'Viking' seems to be a big ship, right?"

    "Yes, it's similar to our lucky boat."

    Zheng Zhilong was silent for a moment: "Who has the power to rob such a huge warship? It is absolutely impossible for a small group of pirates."

    Zheng Zhibao thought for a while: "Could it be Liu Xiang?"

    "It's possible." Zheng Zhilong nodded: "After we resumed trade with Hongyi, Liu Xiang felt betrayed, so he has always been worried about it. And with his power, it is not a big deal to hijack the 'Viking'  Difficult matter."

    Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned again: "No. Why did Liu Xiang choose to hijack the Hongyi battleship at this time? Isn't he afraid that if he fails to succeed, he will become a thorn in Hongyi's side? Besides, if he wants to hijack the 'Wei'  The Jingren's mission is not an easy one. There will definitely be a war. Why didn't Taiwan's Hongyi notice anything from the beginning to the end? "

    "What do you mean, brother?" Zheng Zhibao didn't understand for a moment.

    "I think there's something weird in this." Zheng Zhilong stood up and took two steps back and forth: "Liu Xiang is flamboyant in his work, but he is meticulous. I don't think it is like he did this."

    Zheng Zhibao scratched his head: "If Liu Xiang didn't do it, who else has this ability?"

    Zheng Zhilong walked to the chart and looked at it carefully for a while: "Where is the accident site of the 'Viking'?"

    "At this."

    Following the direction of his brother's finger, Zheng Zhilong looked at it for a long time and suddenly murmured to himself: "Penghu is the fastest to get here, and there are many small islands nearby where you can hide and launch a surprise attack"

    "Penghu?" Zheng Zhibao was startled for a moment, then said: "How can Penghu guard Hong Tiaoyuan have such ability?"

    "Zheng Zhilong doesn't have it, but there is someone who does." Zheng Zhilong turned around and said.

    "Is the elder brother talking about Ding Yunyi?"

    "Yes, it is this person." Zheng Zhilong's eyes were deep: "This person defeated Hitachi Gongbaota and Oniomaru in a row. He is very powerful and courageous. With more than 20 troops from Penghu, he can actually resist Oniomaru. This is  If you have the courage and courage, even I can¡¯t do it.¡±

    Zheng Zhibao thought for a moment and shook his head: "Impossible, impossible. What would he use to fight the Viking? Is it just those fishing boats?"

    "Mang Er." Zheng Zhilong called out his brother's nickname: "Who said fishing boats can't do anything? What if I were to attract the attention of the 'Viking' with the front of a boat, and quickly approach with a small boat loaded with flaming objects?  "

    Zheng Zhibao murmured, refusing to believe that Ding Yunyi, a little guy who had only just risen to the top, could always have such abilities.

    Even if you let yourself deal with the "Viking", you are not sure of victory.

    "I want to go to Penghu." Zheng Zhilong suddenly said: "Ding Yunyi has made a lot of noise since he arrived in Penghu. Regardless of whether he did it this time, I have to go and see how this person is doing now."

    "Why would brother go to Penghu for such a small role? Why don't we just call him here?" Zheng Zhibao disagreed.

    "You don't understand, you don't understand." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "This man's life experience is very complicated. I thought he was just a lackey, but I didn't expect that this man could even kill people like Oniomaru.  It¡¯s terrible, it¡¯s terrible. Come on, call Ming Yan.¡±

    After a while, his son Zheng Sen walked in and said respectfully: "Father, third uncle, what's going on with Zheng Sen?"

    Zheng Zhibao clicked his tongue and praised: "Ming Yan is only nine years old, but he is so knowledgeable and reasonable. His future achievements will definitely be higher than those of you and me."

    Zheng Zhilong was very proud: "Mingyan, I'm going to take you to Penghu."

    "Yes, father." Zheng Sen didn't ask much.

    Zheng Zhilong was very satisfied: "Do you know why I am taking you there?"

    "I know." Zheng Sen said: "I just heard that Hongyi's 'Viking' was missing. I think my father suspected that the problem was in Penghu and wanted to find out. Zheng Sen is just a child, following his fatherGoing to the island will certainly not arouse suspicion.  "

    This time it was Zheng Zhilong¡¯s turn to take a breath.

    That was his original intention. Taking Zheng Sen to Penghu, as a child, he would definitely not arouse suspicion when he inquired about information.  But before he even said what he meant, Zheng Sen had already guessed it.

    In the past, when people said how smart Zheng Sen was, they meant it as a compliment. But now it seems that his son can be described as more than just "smart"?

    His achievements will definitely be far above his own in the future.

    After calming down, he ordered: "Mang Er, you are responsible for guarding here. I will change into civilian clothes and quietly go to Penghu with only Mingyan and Sanwu personal soldiers, so as not to alert Ding Yunyi and let him notice. Also, go and tell  Those Hongyi, their ship disappeared under the flag of my Zheng family, and all losses will be borne by my Zheng family."

    "What?" Zheng Zhibao shouted loudly: "Brother, why is Hongyi's ship missing and we have to bear the loss? Aren't we suffering a big loss?"

    Zheng Sen said on the side: "Third uncle, Hongyi gave us three thousand taels of silver as a regular tribute according to the rules. We should protect them. My father's doing this will not only make Hongyi grateful, but will also make our Zheng family's reputation better."  Since then, more and more people have been willing to pay tribute. So on the surface, it seems that we have suffered a huge loss, but in fact, we will gain more in the future.¡±

    "Good son, good son!" Zheng Zhilong raised his head and laughed: "I, Zheng Zhilong, have such a son, what more can I ask for? Yes, it seems that I have suffered a huge loss, but in fact, what I will gain in the future is much more than that. Mang Er, you live  How come you are so old but still not as knowledgeable as a little kid?¡±

    Zheng Zhibao was not angry at all, but was sincerely convinced: "Mang Er understands. My nephew is so smart, which is also my glory. Our Zheng family has such talents, and we will definitely be able to carry them forward in the future. Brother, don't worry, there are me and Er here."  Don¡¯t worry about anything.¡±

    Zheng Zhilong put away his smile: "If we set out quietly early tomorrow morning and arrive at Penghu, Ding Yunyi will be caught off guard. Then we will know at a glance whether the disappearance of the Dutch ship has anything to do with him."

    After saying that, he snorted coldly: "If it is really him who did it, he will be responsible for the consequences of using the banner of my Zheng family."
