    "No, no, this is impossible!" Marco shouted out: "How can Luzon do business with you alone? Sir Ding, with all due respect, there is no way to do this."

    "Really? I don't think so." Ding Yunyi was not in a hurry: "Since the massacre of our people of the Ming Dynasty by your Qian Lasi Kingdom, although the Mongolian court has a good nature and has not pursued any investigation, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty going to Luzon have  It is getting rarer and rarer. Although it has improved slightly in recent years, it is not the same as in its heyday. It is difficult for you to maintain it as a governor, so you can't wait to replace it one after another. Is it possible that there will be a change when the new governor Cocuera comes?  "I don't think so." Marco remained silent. What Ding Yunyi said was the real situation in Luzon.

    There are fewer and fewer Chinese merchant ships going to Luzon. After the massacre, most merchants in the Ming Dynasty were afraid of being harmed and were unwilling to continue doing business with Luzon.  What we now rely on are nothing more than the merchant ships of Zheng Zhilong's fleet and those scattered merchant ships.  But Zheng Zhilong got closer to the Netherlands. In order to help the Netherlands suppress Spain in trade, he also deliberately reduced the number of merchant ships and the quantity of goods.

    For this reason, the governor of Luzon was changed one term after another, but there was no improvement at all, which made the country worried.

    The words of Taiwan¡¯s top military and political officer struck a chord with Luzon.

    Marco¡¯s expression completely caught Ding Yunyi¡¯s eyes, and he said calmly: ¡°But doing business with me can change this situation. As long as you have gold and silver, I will have a steady supply of goods.¡±

    "But as far as I know," Marr hesitated: "There is a conflict between you and Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong has already blocked the sea. How can you go to Luzon?"

    "This is my business and I don't need you to worry about it." Ding Yunyi said calmly: "You only need to help me deliver the message. By the way, tell Governor Cocuyera that he must do this business with me.  Otherwise, any ship passing through Taiwan and Penghu will be intercepted by me. I can guarantee that no ship will be able to reach Luzon through my territory!"

    This is already a naked threat. Marco knows that this adult means what he says, but he doesn't know how to answer it for a moment.

    "Father Marco, you only need to bring these words of mine. At the same time, I will not let your hard work go in vain." Ding Yunyi said in a calmer tone: "This matter is done, you and Salo  Father Qi will be able to coexist in Taiwan and Penghu. At the same time, I will allocate a special fund to you to repair the church every year." Marco's eyes lit up: "Really?"

    "Yes, I never tell lies." Ding Yunyi smiled: "Father Sarozzi and I have been cooperating for some time. I also have some business in Luzon, and he has gained a lot of benefits from me. Now  , it¡¯s up to you, anyone who cooperates with me is my person, and I never let my own people suffer!¡±

    "Anyone who cooperates with me is my friend, and I never let my own people suffer!" This sentence deeply touched Marco, and the priest no longer hesitated: "Okay, Mr. Ding,  I'll leave now, I believe there will be news within a few days."

    "Here, send the priest!"

    This is another move made by Ding Yunyi to reverse the passive situation, and it is a risky move.

    Zheng Zhilong¡¯s power is spread all over the sea, and he even monopolizes the exclusive trade with Japan. There is a place where Ding Yunyi cannot intervene at present.  In this case, let's start from Luzon and Java, places that Zheng Zhilong doesn't quite like, and open up a new way to make money.

    The problem he has to face now is how he can break Zheng Zhilong's maritime blockade even if the governor of Ganrasi, Kocuyela, agrees to his request.

    Head-on collision?  Or choose another method?

    "Sir, Long Zhantian is back." Duan San'er's words interrupted Ding Yunyi's thoughts: "Let them come in. By the way, invite Mr. Xie Xuan and Sun Xiyu to me as well." Waited there for a while  After a while, several people walked in together, and Ding Yunyi said: "How?" Long Zhantian shook his head and looked a little frustrated: "No, there is nothing wrong in the sea area we control, but when we go out, the Zheng family's fleet is densely packed  We couldn't get out of the main sea channel, and both ships were forced to retreat. I just asked a few questions, and the other party almost opened fire!" This was something Ding Yunyi had expected: "Is there any loss?"

    "That's not true." Long Zhantian shook his head: "The other party's intention is to force us back. They are not planning to actually fire cannons, and they have no intention of looting. However, when they came back, there were two flags hanging with the Zheng family's flag.  The merchant ship followed quietly, seemingly preparing to attack us, but seeing that we were well armed and heavily guarded, it followed for a while and then left. "Sun Xiyu sneered: "This is an order from Zheng Zhilong, who can rob us?  If you build a boat, you will be rewarded heavily, including the annualThe money paid can be saved, wouldn't they be interested?  "Several subordinates were furious after hearing this, but Ding Yunyi suddenly laughed. He said several words "good" in succession.

    Several people looked at each other, sir, what's going on?  Could it be that Zheng Zhilong was so angry?

    "Okay, great, Zheng Zhilong's tail is exposed!" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "If he really attacks my merchant ship, I can't do anything about him. In terms of strength, he and I are far apart, but he is now  Not daring to take action means that he has a guilty conscience and does not dare to plunder openly and openly!" Seeing that his subordinates still didn't understand, Ding Yunyi explained: "No matter how arrogant Zheng Zhilong is, he is still an official of my Ming Dynasty and a serious general.  Because of a personal grudge against me, he hijacked my merchant ship and I filed a complaint against him. Even if he jumped into the sea, he could do whatever he wanted. How could he be lawless in the imperial court?  , No matter how shameless an official is, he will always have concerns, this has helped me a lot!" There was still a layer of meaning in his heart that he didn't say.  No matter what, his father is still the minister of the Ministry of War, and he once rescued Wang Chengen, a close eunuch of Chongzhen. Zheng Zhilong had to consider these two relationships.

    Although Zheng Zhilong is arrogant and powerful, he has a fatal flaw: he has no direct connections in the court, no strong backing, and no officials willing to protect him wholeheartedly!

    He was a big pirate, and when he originally accepted the offer, there was already a lot of controversy in the court. If he files a complaint now and is caught, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle.  Zheng Zhilong could still tell the difference between what was light and what was serious.

    Xie Xuan thought for a moment: "Despite this, the Zheng family still blocks the sea route, and our merchant ships can't get out."

    "Yes, that's right." Ding Yunyi nodded: "But the more this happens, the more opportunities it gives us. I have thought carefully about it these past few days. To break Zheng Zhilong's blockade on us, we need to have three roads in parallel. Zhebai,  Mr. Sun. "Your Majesty," Xie Xuan and Sun Xiyu said in unison.

    Ding Yunyi thought for a while: "Can I get the Zheng family's flag by paying three thousand taels of silver? Okay, then I will pay this money. Zheng Zhilong may not know that you two came to Taiwan to work for me. You two went to test it out. If it is true,  So, you two will pay this amount of money, three thousand taels, one tael is a lot! Take the Zheng family's flag and do business in a big way!" Xie Xuan and Sun Xiyu looked at each other and smiled.

    How did Mr. Ding come up with this method?  Ask your sworn enemy to buy a pass, and then do business in front of your sworn enemy?  Zheng Zhilong never dreamed that Ding Yunyi would do this. By the time he found out, he would have already made a lot of money.

    "This is the first step. Although we have lost our ambition, if we can earn money, we will have the capital to defeat him in the future." Ding Yunyi said decisively: "The second way, I will use the power of the Quanzhou Prefecture Yamen! It will be issued by him  Tongwen, allow me to go overseas to do business!" All of his subordinates immediately understood that the Lord was going to use the power of the government to fight against Zheng Zhilong.

    Although the warrant originally signed by Ye Yuan, the prefect of Quanzhou, was of no use to Zheng Zhilong, it was a serious government warrant after all. Zheng Zhilong was not afraid, and his subordinates responsible for intercepting it might not be without concerns.

    Once intercepted by force, it will inevitably form a conflict with Quanzhou Prefecture, and this is exactly what Zheng Zhilong does not want to see.

    Ding Yunyi paused there, and then said slowly: "Li, we have it. If the Zheng family comes, I will have no choice but to forcefully open a passage!"

    Everyone was shocked. Are you planning to start a war with the Zheng family in advance?

    "I don't have the courage to start a war openly, I'm afraid the court will take off my hat." Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "Besides, we don't have the strength.

    But we don¡¯t dare to fight, so does Zheng Zhilong dare to fight?  I sent the merchant ship just to find out his bottom line!  "Zheng Zhilong's bottom line has been exposed!

    He is tyrannical and regards Fujian and the sea as his own private territory, but he does not dare to take action!  At best, he could only use some of the ships in his fleet to pretend to be pirates and teach disobedient merchant ships a lesson.

    But the Huben Guard Navy already has a certain scale. Unless Zheng Zhilong goes all out and mobilizes the main force, his ships pretending to be pirates may not be the opponent of the Huben Guard Navy!

    This is his bottom line and weakness, and these have been firmly grasped by Ding Yunyi!

    "I want to gather the warships, conduct a successful escort, and force a way out." Ding Yunyi said without any hesitation: "How many ships can Zheng Zhilong mobilize? All of them? No, he does not have the courage and courage. This time it is up to me  I will escort him personally and use my banner! I just want to see him face to face. Do you dare to kill me?"

    Ding Yunyi has made the decision to concentrate the main force and personally escort the troops under Zheng Zhilong's blockade.A gap opens here.

    When the weak confronts the strong, there may not be no chance of victory.

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s stubborn adventurous character is once again presented to everyone!  !  ~!
