    The atmosphere in the hall became awkward again, but this time Zheng Yiguan did not stand up and say anything.  Yan Siqi, who was sitting aside, thought for a while and said, "Commander Brian, this matter is not a small matter. Since I am their eldest brother, I have to think about the brothers. It is getting late, Commander Brian and Mr. Xu  Go get some rest! I'll arrange a meeting for you two tonight!" Yan Siqi really didn't feel confident about this matter, so he just wanted to put it down first.  Xu Xinsu and Brian on the other side didn't take it seriously either. Yan Siqi's reaction had been expected by them.  They happily agreed and walked out under the leadership of the maid. For them, more than half of the matter was done!  "That's too much!" After the two of them went out, Yan Siqi slapped the table and stood up suddenly.  His whole body was shaking, and the muscles on his face were twitching.  Zheng Yiguan sat aside, gently picked up his tea bowl, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to be like this. This is how it is at sea. Whoever fights with fists has the final say. Now we are not as strong as the Dutch.  We can only let them show off their power. What will happen if the east wind overwhelms the west wind? " "They are threatening us. What's even more hateful is that Xu Xinsu actually colluded with the Dutch to plot against us!" Yan Siqi listened!  After hearing Zheng Yiguan's words, he seemed to calm down a bit, sat down and said angrily.  "Xu Xinsu is very cunning. He will not let himself go through this muddy water. He may have already laid a way out for himself." Zheng Yiguan knew Xu Xinsu's character well. If he stabbed him in the back, Zheng Yiguan would  It doesn't feel strange at all.  After calming down his emotions, Yan Siqi sighed helplessly and said, "Yiguan, what do you think we should do now? Can the Dutch plan succeed?" With a bitter smile, Zheng Yiguan said with a hint of sarcasm:  "What does success mean? Is the Ming Dynasty the kind of court that can surrender? The emperor guards the country and the king dies for the country. Although it is a very old-fashioned saying. But the Ming Dynasty has always done this for more than two hundred years. Mongolian Tatar soldiers  At the gate of Beijing, it can be seen that the court negotiated a peace? Yingzong was arrested, and the court negotiated a peace? " "The Dutch thought too simply. They didn't understand the Ming Dynasty and thought they could force the Ming Dynasty to sign a treaty. That was just wishful thinking.  So what? With their strength, can they stand in Xiamen? Maybe they are strong at sea, but on land, I never believe that they can defeat the imperial army at best.  Start doing what the Japanese pirates did back then!" Zheng Yiguan put the tea cup down fiercely, with impatience in his tone.  "What can we do? We are weak now. If we are strong enough, will the Dutch show off their power here? Once there is a war with the imperial court, the imperial court will be entrenched and our business will be impossible. Now  The emperor is not rewarding the emperor. It can be seen from the actions of Northern Xinjiang that the emperor attaches great importance to military equipment! "Yan Siqi was in Japan and was very concerned about the news about the Ming Dynasty. At this time, he was also very agitated.  He nodded slowly.  Zheng Yiguan said in a deep voice: "Once the war starts, the Dutch will have supplies, but we will have no supplies. Apart from being trapped in Taiwan, there is no other way out. But that will offend the court to death, and I am afraid that in the end it will be an encirclement and suppression by the army.  The imperial court has built a navy. It is said that it has cost a lot and the warships are very good. Although they have not been seen yet, they must not be taken lightly! " "Now is not the time to analyze this." Yan Siqi asked.  Waving his hand, he obviously no longer wanted to hear Zheng Yiguan analyze the reasons. He wanted Zheng Yiguan to come up with a solution.  "Actually, it's not that there are no ways, and there are several. I just don't know how to choose." Zheng Yiguan glanced at Yan Siqi and said with some reason.  Yan Siqi was stunned and quickly asked: "If you have any ideas, just tell me. Tell them all, and we brothers will discuss them." "The first way is that we work with the Dutch, but we can't be too outstanding. Let the Dutch  Do it. If both the Dutch and the imperial court lose, we can reap the benefits. But the Dutch are not that stupid. If this is the case, we might as well contact the imperial court and pretend to join the imperial court.  The best informant is on the island now, and taking refuge with the court is probably the escape route Xu Xinsu gave him." Zheng Yiguan smiled mysteriously, and he and his adoptive father Li Dan were probably the only ones who could understand Xu Xinsu's thoughts.  .  "We ostensibly agreed to the Dutch and made concessions with them. Maybe this is a good time." Zheng Yiguan stopped talking when he saw that Yan Siqi was lost in thought.  Although it¡¯s not a good idea, it¡¯s the only way to go now. Many things need to be taken step by step.  Not to mention things at sea?To make it clear, sometimes luck is also crucial.  "It's just an official, what if the Dutch win?" Yan Siqi knew the strength of the Dutch and really had no confidence in the court.  He didn't understand where Zheng Yiguan got his confidence, which made him very worried.  Zheng Yiguan always talks about the Japanese pirates back then. The Dutch today are much stronger than the Japanese pirates back then.  Zheng Yiguan didn¡¯t know how to tell Yan Siqi that in his opinion, even if the Dutch captured Xiamen, it would actually be meaningless at all.  It cannot be garrisoned, because it cannot be defended, and it is wishful thinking to establish a stronghold there.  That would only arouse the court's hatred of Japanese pirates, and a huge war would probably spread to the entire coast.  The current Emperor Tianqi is not the previous emperor. Judging from his ability to build a navy, this is an emperor who can understand the importance of the sea.  With the Ming Dynasty's national power, it might not be difficult to build some ships.  If you really arouse Daming's anger, I'm afraid the end will be very miserable.  "We cannot let the Dutch win, we must play a balancing role. If we let the Dutch win, we may not have a good life in the future." Although he does not agree that the Dutch can win, Zheng Yiguan also  I know I can't tell Yan Siqi clearly.  Instead of wasting your breath, let's put it simply.  Yan Siqi nodded. As expected, Yan Siqi was not asking further questions, but was quietly lost in thought.  While Yan Siqi was arguing with the Dutch, Emperor Tianqi was already busy with the scientific research. Emperor Tianqi didn't have to worry too much about these matters. After all, he had already established a routine.  In the fifth year of Tianqi, a total of 300 people were admitted to the Yi Chou Department. The top picks were Yu Huang, Hua Qifang, and Wu Kongjia.  Emperor Tianqi didn't care about this exam, but he was very concerned about the exams of the Imperial Military Academy and the Imperial Academy.  In Emperor Tianqi¡¯s view, this is the top priority, and it will be the top priority in the future.  At this time, Emperor Tianqi was standing in the attic in plain clothes, watching Xu Guangqi and others busy preparing to start the first examination of the Imperial College.  Because the documents have been issued long ago, scholars from all over the country have also arrived here long ago.  Because there is no requirement for fame, there are still many people coming.  However, more people are disdainful and look down on those who do not follow the right path, so there is no phenomenon of empty streets.  There was a small table, and a secretary of the Imperial College was sitting there. His task was to check the documents of the scholars who came to take the exam.  It is said to be a document, but it is actually a letter of recommendation that changes direction.  The requirements for the documents issued by the imperial edicts of each county for the crown princes in various places are not strict, especially there are no requirements for knowledge.  After reading the documents, you can get your own number plate, which is actually equivalent to the admission ticket for future generations.  After passing this level, the scholar faced the Jin Yiwei with a knife on his waist, searching his body to prevent cheating!  After a body search, we came to a wide square, where the statue of Saint Kong was worshiped on a high platform.  Xu Guangqi was waiting there with all the imperial edicts from the Imperial College. Everyone was not wearing official uniforms, but the academic uniforms of the Imperial College.  After the scholars walked in, they took their number tags to register. At this time, someone will ask you whether you want to take the exam for the College of Liberal Arts or the College of Science.  Most students still choose the School of Liberal Arts, but some choose the School of Science out of luck. After all, there seem to be a lot fewer people there. ???????????????????? But there are also many people here in the School of Science, and these people were all brought in by Xu Guangqi.  Whether in his hometown or in Shilin, Xu Guangqi still has a high status!  This is to find a future for their children, and for those who have no hope in the imperial examination, this is an opportunity.  What's more, Xu Guangqi's guarantee that once he passes the exam, he will have a bright future, there will still be many people flocking to him.  After no one entered, the gate of the Imperial College slowly closed, and Xu Guangqi came to the statue of Saint Kong with all the teachings.  He respectfully saluted the statue and offered incense, then turned around and said loudly: "Today the Imperial College exams are held for the first time to recruit students! In front of the statue of the saint, you should remember that you are all disciples of the saint. No matter how knowledgeable you are,  , remember the saint¡¯s teachings, don¡¯t cheat!¡± After a slight pause, Xu Guangqi continued: ¡°As the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, I also promise in front of the saint that I will never engage in any fraud for personal gain!  I regret my choice today.¡± Under the guidance of the teacher, the candidates entered the examination room one after another. For them, this was the first time in their lives, and it may also be a life-changing decision.  The invigilators in the examination room were these teachings, and of course some Han generals from Jinyiwei.  These people were heavily armed, more importantly as a deterrent, and of course to maintain order at the scene.  Seeing that the examination papers had begun to be handed out below, Emperor Tianqi nodded with satisfaction, looked back at Chen Hong, and said, "Let's go! There's nothing interesting to see anymore, let's go back to the palace!"
