    Taiwan is a mountainous place, and there are many wild animals living in the mountains that have not yet been developed at this time.  Since discovering this, Yan Siqi has fallen in love with hunting.  Yan Siqi, who originally lived on the sea, was very satisfied with the vast land here.  On this day, Yan Siqi took his main generals out to hunt again. The atmosphere these days was really depressing, and Yan Siqi felt that he needed to vent.  Dutchman Brian is still on the island and has been here for three days. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry.  However, the negotiations gradually fell into an awkward situation, and it seemed difficult for both parties to reach an agreement.  Zheng Yiguan's horse's head was half a horse behind Yan Siqi. His mind was not on hunting at all, and he felt a little depressed.  People like me have been through life and death for so many years. I originally thought that I could do something big, but I didn't expect that at this time, I would still be angry with the Dutch.  Glancing at Yan Siqi next to him, Zheng Yiguan suddenly felt that this man seemed to be very incompetent. He thought about cultivating here all day long and completely forgot that he was a maritime merchant.  In Zheng Yiguan's heart, people like him should not live such a life.  Although this is a good base, it is just a base!  People like me should live a life of licking blood with a knife, doing business when there is business, and going out to rob when there is no business.  Whether it is merchant ships or the Dutch, they are all within the scope of their plunder.  The entire Taiwan Strait should be the territory of people like myself. If you want to leave from here, you have to pay!  The same is true on the shore. There are so many wealthy cities along the Ming Dynasty. Occasionally going to work and recruiting some people is the life that one should live.  Establish a kingdom on the sea, a huge kingdom, and you will be the master here.  Looking at Yan Siqi once, Zheng Yiguan suddenly felt that Yan Siqi was not suitable for doing these things.  "Yiguan, what are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?" The group came to the high hill, reined in their horses, and looked back at Zheng Yiguan.  Seeing him rocking back and forth on his horse, looking distracted, he asked with a smile.  Only then did Zheng Yiguan come back to his senses. Naturally, he couldn't show what he was thinking. He sighed and said, "I'm thinking about the Dutch. It's not an option to drag things on like this!" Yan Siqi heard him say.  Regarding this matter, with a bit of helplessness on his face, he said: "Let's go over there and talk about it!" After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, handed his whip to the little guy on the side, and pointed towards a big rock not far away.  Walked over.  Pulling Zheng Yiguan to sit down, Yan Siqi pondered for a moment.  He said: "The intention of the Dutch is obvious. They want to use us as cannon fodder!" "Yes! Brian has already said that the Dutch regular fleet will not be dispatched to attack Xiamen this time. They will find  Some Dutch pirates, plus our people, want to make a move!" Zheng Yiguan thought for a while and then said: "The Dutch don't want to monopolize the imperial court's trade.  It's hard to talk. " "I'm worried about one thing. If we do it with the Dutch, I'm afraid we will become bargaining chips in the peace talks with the court! They will definitely betray us and sell us to the court!  "Of course Yan Siqi understands that if something goes wrong, it will definitely not be the Dutch who will be resented.  But people like myself.  Since ancient times, in the process of war, although the invaders are hateful, everyone fights back and forth, you kill me, I kill you!  Although their hatred for each other is great, it is just a simple fight.  But traitors and traitors.  That is definitely the most hated one, even more hated than the invaders!  The kind of betrayal from fellow tribesmen is what makes people grit their teeth the most.  "This is not a possibility, but a certainty! The imperial court will definitely let the Dutch annihilate us. Even if the imperial court does not let the Dutch annihilate us, they will do it!" Zheng Yiguan and Yan Siqi have different views. He is very cruel to the Dutch.  Know more deeply.  The conversation between the two people fell into an awkward situation. No one was talking, they were all thinking quietly.  After a while, Zheng Yiguan suddenly raised his head, looked at Yan Siqi and asked: "Brother, how many ships do we have now? I'm not talking about merchant ships, but ships used for combat!" After listening to Zheng Yiguan's words, Yan Siqi  He was stunned at first, looking at Zheng Yiguan in disbelief, and finally said in a deep voice: "When we escaped from Japan, we took twenty-four ships, all of which were warships. Thirteen of them  They are large ships, each equipped with ten artillery pieces. The other eleven are small ships, each equipped with six artillery pieces." Zheng Yiguan on the side nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother, after arriving in Taiwan.  Are there any other gains? " "Of course, there are two more big ships and six more small boats. We have a total of fifteen big ships and seventeen small boats!" Yan Siqi felt a little helpless.  Still can't show off his strength.  Zheng Yiyi? He didn't speak, he sat there quietly, frowning, as if he was thinking about some serious issue.  In Zheng Zhilong's view, Yan Siqi's strength is still a little weaker.  Although their ships are said to be warships, most of them are half warships and half merchant ships.  "However, as Li Dan's adopted son, Zheng Yiguan also knew very well that his adopted father owned no less than a hundred ships of various types.  There are almost forty ships that can be used for combat!  Such strength actually makes it the number one in the Taiwan Strait.  Coupled with the golden combination of Li Dan and Xu Xinsu, the Dutch did not dare to provoke them easily.  For the Dutch, they have fifteen main battleships, all of which are used for combat!  As for the other ships, there are dozens of them, and they seem to be the weakest.  But Zheng Yiguan knew very well that the Dutch warship was bigger than his own ship. It was a huge ship with thirty-six cannons installed on it!  Fifteen warships, three thousand soldiers, all armed with muskets!  The entire fleet is well-trained and armed to the teeth. If they really fight, I and Li Dan's people combined may not be able to defeat them.  "But if I unite with Li Dan, I won't be afraid of the Dutch!"  However, it is difficult to explain the word "profit" clearly.  After all, Li Dan was very close to the Dutchman, but he didn't have a good impression of Yan Siqi.  If I go up to Li Dan to talk about this matter, I'm afraid I'll hit a snag.  In fact, Zheng Yiguan has some reservations. He also has a team of his own, but he usually trains them secretly in the name of doing business.  In the Taiwan Strait, although there are giants like Li Dan and the Dutch, there are also many scattered small forces.  They usually do business, and occasionally do pirate business.  When doing business, you only need to pay a small amount of tolls, and you can do it safely!  Among this group of people, Zheng Yiguan had a team, which was led by his two most outstanding brothers.  But this is a secret power, which is the foundation of Zheng Yiguan and the entire Zheng family. He feels that he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.  "Yiguan, what are you thinking about? You don't want to fight the Dutch, do you? Our chances of winning are very small! I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it by then. Now we in Japan can't go back. If Taiwan is gone, we will  But there is no place to stay!" Yan Siqi persuaded with a little worry when he saw that Zheng Yiguan was thinking hard and seemed to have this plan.  Waving his hands, Zheng Yiguan said in a deep voice: "When the matter has reached this point, it is already very difficult to handle! Tell the brothers to step up their training and be prepared! As for the Dutch, if there is no other way, they can only fight with each other.  "Yes!" "Yiguan, I thought of a way. What do you think?" Yan Siqi thought about it and decided to tell him his way.  "Why does the elder brother have to be so polite? We brothers are life and death friends. How can the younger brother deal with the elder brother being so polite?" Zheng Yiguan seemed to feel that his tone just now was wrong, so Zheng Yiguan quickly took it back.  Smiling, Yan Siqi said nonchalantly: "First officer, since the Dutch will organize a pirate team, this is probably our opportunity. We can defeat the Dutch's request and cooperate with their raid on Xiamen, but we must let the Dutch  The pirates rush in first! " "In this way, we can shift the responsibility to the Dutch! If we dress up deliberately, it will definitely have a good effect. That way, the Dutch will have no way to escape.  What's more, Xiamen is Li Dan's hometown. If necessary, we can do something in this regard. Once Li Dan and the Dutch fall out, we will have an opportunity!" Before Yan Siqi could finish, Zheng Yiguan continued.  .  "Good! What a great idea, big brother! Let's just settle this matter. Let's go back and have a showdown with Brian!" Zheng Yiguan laughed and looked at Yan Siqi with a very playful look on his face.  The two people looked at each other and laughed, then they got on their horses and went hunting together!  However, Zheng Yiguan¡¯s plan still failed to come true because Yan Siqi fell ill!  Yan Siqi is just thirty-seven years old this year. Because he practices martial arts on weekdays, his body is very strong.  It was just that when I was hunting that day, I was blown to the ground by a gust of wind. I didn't feel anything bad at the time, but I was bedridden after I came back.  Zheng Yiguan was standing beside Yan Siqi's bed at this time, looking at Yan Siqi's pale face, his expression was very ugly.  He grabbed the doctor and said loudly: "Take a closer look. It's just a cold. How could it be so serious? My eldest brother is in such good health, why is he bedridden?" "The second master, the younger one only knows a little bit about medicine.  It can be seen that the master is suffering from cold, but the medicine he has taken these days has no effect. I also want to save the master, but my medical skills are limited!" The doctor almost cried, but he could only do it.  At a loss what to do.  "Yiguan, come here!" Yan Siqi slowly opened his eyes and greeted Zheng Yiguan with trembling lips, as if he had something to say.??Brows were furrowed tightly.  PS: This is the second update, I haven¡¯t made up for it as promised!  I'm a little stuck today, so I'll make up for it tomorrow!  Good night everyone, don¡¯t drink too much while watching football!
