Chapter 169

Zheng zining said: "what is this? It has become a climate, just for us to survive. Since the fleet is large, there must be rules. Without rules, someone will mess around. After all, it is not a way, and we can't grow ourselves after all."

Sermon Liu: "That's right. If you have a large number of people, you need systems and rules to unify people. Otherwise, a mess of sand is not a way. So is my plan. There are so many servants in our Liu family, but they do their own things. My next goal is to unify the Liu family and implement the military order in a unified way, so as to develop and grow like your Zheng family and become the hegemony of one party."

Zheng zining said, "what is the hegemony of one party? Look at the surface scenery of our Zheng family. In fact, we also have our hidden worries."

Liu preached, "what hidden worries?"

Zheng zining said: "After all, our Zheng family was born as pirates. Unlike other officials of decent origin, others have always discriminated against us and looked down on us. More importantly, in the past, the imperial court recruited a lot of pirates, but how many of them came to a good end? Our Zheng family can do this now because of the corruption of the imperial government officials, the establishment of slaves outside and the presence of rogue bandits inside We can't draw out a large number of troops to encircle and suppress us, but one day the imperial court will reach out and find a way to deal with us at the first time, because we are born as pirates and can't win their trust all the time. There is a saying that if we are not our own race, our hearts will be different. "

Sermon Liu: "Your worry is a little far away, and you are a little worried. Not to mention the state of your Zheng family, but that of our Liu family. If it was put aside for decades, the imperial court would not allow it, but now the imperial court has lost its control over the place, it will sit idly by and watch the crazy growth of local forces. If Chao tingteng takes action, it will clean up these forces, but you can rest assured, Zi Ning , the imperial court has to deal with more than our two families, such as JianNu outside the pass and the wandering bandits in the Central Plains. We can accept scabies for them. "

Zheng zining nodded noncommittally.

Liu Budao: "I heard that your Liu family now has more than 3000 ships. In Nanyang, you can bring the Malacca Strait under control."

Zheng zining was surprised. She said: "Do you know the Strait of Malacca? But I can tell you that most of the Strait of Malacca is still controlled by the Portuguese. The Portuguese control] the North Bank of the Strait of Malacca with high-quality hydrology, while the south bank is controlled by the Aceh and Dutch, but the Dutch are now becoming bigger and bigger. He has begun to challenge the Portuguese's position in Malacca, he said They also tried to contact us and the kingdom of Aceh to jointly attack Malacca. "

Liu Budao: "there's such a thing? Don't they have a conflict of interest with you in Penghu patrol inspection department? Have they already fought?"

Zheng zining said: "We had a conflict of interest with the Dutch when we were patrolling Penghu, but now they have retreated to the south of Baodao. Now that the conflict of interest here has been alleviated, the Dutch want to join hands with us to attack Malacca city. They promise that if they win Malacca City, they will withdraw from the whole South China Sea market and share the East with Zheng Jiaping In the market, uncle, he is still very, very interested in this plan. "

Liu preached, "what do you think of this plan?"

Zheng zining said, "the Dutch are not our race. Their hearts must be different. They are ambitious and greedy. Cooperating with them is to seek skin from the tiger. There is no good result. What do you think of Qingzhi?" Zheng zining found Liu bu. He is unique in strategic vision, not below her.

Sermon Liu: "The Zheng family has the strongest influence in the eastern sea area. It already has a fleet of more than 3000 ships. At this point, you have only one result. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you want to remain strong, you'd better control the Strait of Malacca, which connects the Eastern and Western sea areas. As long as you control here, it is equivalent to controlling the trade income between the East and the west, which can make you get more benefits A very stable trade income has maintained a sustained strong. "

Zheng zining said, "what else?"

Sermon Liu: "Your Zheng family claims to have 3000 boats, so it's estimated that there are more people eating with you. If you count 50 people per boat, there are also more than 100000 people? These 100000 people have to be fed and dressed. Otherwise, these dozen people are also more than 100000 wolves. Who can tame them if they can't feed their bellies. Therefore, you must have a very stable income to maintain stability Just keep this strong navy. "

Zheng zining was silent and said: "You're right, but our Zheng family has its difficulties. Our Zheng family claims to have 3000 ships, but these ships don't belong to our Zheng family. The Zheng family's rights are mainly concentrated in yishibazhi's hands. These leaders are loyal to his uncle. He also controls the Zheng family's team through 18 teams. The Zheng family's team mostly joins us and they pay the tax The franchise fee comes and goes freely. It doesn't have to be the Zheng family. "

Liu preached: "then can it be understood that gathering will lead to thousands of people, boundless, scattered will lead to chickens flying and dogs jumping, trees falling and monkeys scattered."

Zheng zining said: "not so, but if these franchisees quit, we can only maintain one-third of our current strength at most."

This explains why the flotilla hanged the Dutch when it was forced by the cow. Later, when the Zheng family fell, it dissipated quickly.

Liu preached: "so it is very necessary for you to strengthen internal management. You should strengthen internal management and centripetal force. Otherwise, once you are hit by an external attack, it is estimated that you will roar away."

Liu Bu said the key problem of Zheng's fleet at once, which made Zheng zining bright in front of her eyes. Liu Bu has a good vision. He can tell the key problem and put forward solutions. He is a person who can talk about major events with him, which makes Zheng zining somewhat gratified.

Zheng zining is different from ordinary girls to be married. Other girls to be married may be most concerned about how to embroider more brocade quilts and wedding clothes.

Although Zheng zining has decided to get married, she can't be a needlework, and she doesn't care about how much dowry she has. She used to take charge of their Zheng family's fleet with her father and make decisions on many things. She even led the fleet to plunder at sea. She also fought and fought with officers and soldiers. She is also a heroine among women and an important assistant of her father, She thinks more about their Zheng family's strategic level, so she is like Liu Bu, a superior. "

Both of them are in charge of power. Originally, they thought that political marriage would make her very uncomfortable, but now she stayed with Liu Bu and found that they can have business and quantity in many things. Is this the so-called common language? This made Miss Zheng feel very happy and full of expectation.

Liu preached, "I really want to ask zining now. Since you are a powerful person in the Zheng family, will you still be in charge of the fleet if you join my Liu family?"

Zheng zining said, "since I am married to your Liu family, life is your Liu family's person, and death is your Liu family's ghost, I will gradually hand over these rights, and then concentrate on my husband and children."

Liu preached: "it's not urgent. You are a heroine among women. You are wise enough to let you command the army, but if you are asked to do laundry and cook, you probably don't understand. You're a little embarrassed."

Zheng zining frowned and said, "even if it's difficult, I'll adapt slowly."

Liu preached: "I hope you can continue to take charge of this fleet. Our Liu family is also worried. You are in charge of this huge fleet and can help us at a critical time“

Zheng zining said, "what do you say? I think the situation of your Liu family is much better than our Zheng family. Another thing is that your Liu family's power is mainly here in Laizhou, Jiaodong Peninsula. No matter how strong our ships are, they can't drive ashore?"

Liu Buhe said, "the fleet can't go ashore, but it can come to Laizhou Bay or Jiaozhou Bay. Now we can get a steady stream of trade benefits through these two places."

Zheng zining said, "we can do the same in the future."

Sermon Liu: "When your father-in-law and you are in control of the fleet, you can do so naturally, but if you Zheng family change another leader, it is estimated that they will not easily agree. After all, your Zheng family's huge fleet can have today's scale, but also because of the combination of interests, I don't believe that no one in your Zheng family feels jealous and thinks it is too important to us Liu family All right. "

Zheng zining said confidently, "there will be voices of opposition everywhere, but these voices can be suppressed by us."

Liu preached: "with the fleet in hand, you can naturally hold down. If the fleet is no longer in hand, you can't hold down the voices of these people. Just like the Liu family army in my hand, I don't have to be afraid even the governor. If there is no Liu family Army, I have to listen to the governor's arrangement."

Zheng zining understood this. She said, "you mean to let me pass the door and continue to take charge of my fleet."

Liu Budao: "if you can control it, you'd better continue to control it. If you can't control it, return it."

Zheng zining is still a little confident about this. She said: "the huge fleet of Zheng family is composed of 18 Zhi. We are one of the 18 Zhi. There are a group of loyal brothers who eat with us. As long as our father and daughter are willing, these people still listen to us."

Liu Bu was overjoyed and said, "madam, you can't hand over your fleet anyway."
