Chapter 642

Anping City, Quanzhou, Fujian.

Anping City is even Zheng Zhilong's territory. Since he accepted recruitment and was able to legally go ashore, he has been engaged in construction and turned it into a military stronghold.

In terms of prosperity and key points, it is no less than Quanzhou, because they are the largest maritime merchants here, and they must have the yellow flag of the Zheng family to sail in the whole eastern sea.

Of course, Zhengzhou can do so much business, but it is not blindly relying on bullying and exploitation. It is 3000 gold per ship. This is because the insurance premium is included. If you encounter storms or robbers at sea, they will also make compensation at a discount. This is equivalent to setting up a card to collect taxes and insurance. It must be rich.

Even local officials covet the wealth of the Zheng family. If other people have so much money, I'm afraid they will be hit by local officials. Just like the Liu family in the past, it is a group attack and everyone tries to seize it.

But the Zheng family is different. The Zheng family is a pirate or a person who licks blood on the blade. After they took refuge in the imperial court, they didn't put down their work. Instead, they became more powerful. It's impossible to grab food from them.

In terms of power and financial resources, the Zheng family is very powerful and very rich. Maybe they are richer than the Liu family. The Liu family has accumulated for generations, but he really sits on Jinshan and Yinshan and guards Jinshan and Yinshan.

After they had enough money and food, they began to think about washing themselves and becoming regular, because this is the right way.

In the history of the East China Sea in the Ming Dynasty, there were several super ship owners, that is, the pirate king. Their power was also very large, not much weaker than that of the Zheng family, but finally disappeared, and most of their descendants had a bad end. Zheng Zhilong understood that if you want to be rich and noble for a long time, you have to wash your white identity as an official.

In the Ming Dynasty and the East, there is nothing better than being an official. That's why he tried every means to bribe Xiong Wencan, bribe these local officials, and successfully whitewash himself. He changed from the pirate king to the official Army of the imperial court. He also attacked his former allies. He ate both black and white, and became more and more powerful.

In the past, Zheng Zhilong was still low-key. He also had a natural fear of the government. Soldiers and thieves were naturally opposed. As a thief, he was afraid and envious of being an official.

Wang Zhi, the pirate king of the East China Sea, also died at the hands of the government and was beheaded. Later, Xu Hai also ended up like this, so Zheng Zhilong thought of washing himself white.

When he successfully went ashore and washed himself white, he secretly maintained his strength and developed his strength through the power of the government. His power became stronger and stronger, and this fear disappeared, because it itself was one of the officials. Who would be afraid of himself?

Even one thing, that is, as he became an official for a long time, he changed his fear of the government from fearlessness to contempt. Now he found that the government was far weaker than he thought. He regretted that he had taken refuge in the imperial court too hastily.

He always compares the previous examples. You should know that Zheng Zhilong's power is stronger than that of Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and Li Dan, but the imperial court is not the imperial court in those years.

The most obvious explanation of this is that the great Shandong, the essence of Daming, has made Liu's rebel army attack easily.

This made Daming lose all his authority, and also made Zheng family, a powerful and ambitious person, look down on him.

Moreover, after the Zheng family landed, it was not plain sailing. Although their power rose sharply, their relationship with the local government was very bad.

In the past, the Zheng family was a newcomer and unfamiliar with the place. They were still in awe of local officials. There were many kinds of ice, charcoal and common practices. However, since their strength increased greatly, they had no interest in bribing these moths.

What's more, the Zheng family almost monopolized the shipping revenue in this area, which is Jinshan and Yinshan, but they farted in it - swallowing it alone. Moreover, after they landed, almost most merchants were willing to do business with them, resulting in a kind of siphon effect. When they had more business here, others had less business. In this way, coupled with their failure to bribe local officials, local dissatisfaction with them was much more, and the contradiction between the two sides was inevitable.

This is also why the Liu family made a little money and said a little greedy words, which can make the whole Fujian officialdom hostile to and isolate the Zheng family.

The leader of the Zheng family and the elders still hope to follow the imperial court. After a long time, they wash away the thief's name and become an official. If they become thieves again and want to turn back, they can't do it. Not to mention the good life in front of them. They have no reason and need to take risks.

The young people of the Zheng family thought that there was only an empty shell left in the imperial court, and the hollow big officials should take advantage of the situation and replace it. Just like the Liu family in Shandong, the Zheng family suddenly dominated the whole Shandong and became the top power in the world. Zheng JiaKong had the strongest force in the eastern sea, but did nothing.

Although Zheng Zhilong controls the overall situation, he must consider and balance the opinions of all parties and factions.

But after the court made good conditions, he did not hesitate to join the court.

But at this time, he fell into the sinister scheme of the Liu family. He actually slept with the princess Lu of the Ming Dynasty. If it is spread, it is estimated that the imperial court will copy his family and kill him.

Zheng Zhilong was very angry and angry when he knew that he had been caught in the plot. He knew that Xie really didn't look simple. She was very temperament. At that time, he just thought that she was just a woman of a noble family after the Liu family captured the West Third mansion. Who knew that the Liu family was so shady and disgusting, Unexpectedly, he sent the princess of the king of Lu to his room. He didn't check it for a moment and was tricked.

He Zheng Zhilong slept with Princess Lu. Although he didn't mean it, the yellow mud in the crotch was not shit, but also shit. He couldn't explain it.

Even if he had made great contributions to the imperial court, it was impossible for the imperial court to make him a prince. Once the insider said this, it was estimated that the royal family would not spare him and would certainly accuse him, which made Zheng Zhilong in a very difficult situation.

If the imperial court had offered such good conditions before, he would send troops without hesitation, and then take the opportunity to expand his influence.

The conditions offered by the imperial court can't make him work hard, but Zheng Zhilong can take the opportunity to expand his power reasonably and legally, which is what he wants.

Daming is now so weak that Zheng Zhilong's local strength groups also have ideas. He is thinking, if his strength is big enough, can he also win the world?

In terms of force, the Zheng family is stronger than the Liu family. The Liu family can do so well. Can't Zheng Zhilong do better? In his subconscious mind, he has regarded the Liu family as his competitor and the object he wants to fight against. Therefore, at this stage, it is impossible for him to form an alliance with the Liu family.

As for the so-called kinship between them, since ancient times, so many allied with relatives, which would give up their vested interests because of a woman.

But Zheng Zhilong was worried that after he calmed the Liu family for the imperial court, his sleeping with Princess Lu was stabbed out. How should he end? It's really a disaster for women. He was unhappy when he saw Princess Lu. If it wasn't for this woman, why would he be here? Zheng Zhilong was furious and did it several times.

Zheng Zhilong, secretly investigating, knew that the women sent by Wang Pangzi were all the Royal girls in the Royal Palace and the king's palace. They were all sleeps by them, which made them very shocked.

But on the one hand, they are happy in their hearts. They are just pirates born. To put it bluntly, they are the lowest. It's really cool that they can sleep the imperial concubine and the princess today. Therefore, on the one hand, they hate the insidious nature of the Liu family, on the other hand, they rely on these beautiful women's rooms, refuse to come out and worry in the gentle countryside.

On the one hand, they hope to get more. On the other hand, they think it's great to play with these royal women. They have a sense of conquest. As a pirate, it's their blessing to sleep with these imperial concubines and Princesses for several generations? I can't even think about it. Now I'm doing it. It's estimated that they can't get such treatment because they work hard for the imperial court.

More importantly, they wet their hair and can't wash it when they jump into the Yellow River. In that case, they just don't wash it and continue to have fun.

Because they understand that if something happens to the Liu family, they will say it, poke it out, drag the Zheng family into the water, and everyone will die together.

Zheng Zhilong now began to understand why Liu Bu and others left the lives of King de and Luban, not because they were soft hearted, but because they had this backhand to deal with the Zheng family.

If the Zheng family dared to do it, they would dare to put the two kings back. I believe that with the power of these princes, it would be difficult for the emperor to be a man when he went to the capital to sue the emperor.

Thinking of these, he hates secretly. The Liu family is too insidious and vicious. How can you think of such a insidious move? I don't know which son did it without an asshole?

At this time, the more amazing news came, that is, the chaos in Yangzhou broke out. As an important city in the world, Yangzhou was easily attacked and captured by a small general of the Liu family, which surprised many people.

The imperial court is so weak that it is incompetent. If the main army of the Liu family took Yangzhou, they are not surprised. However, it is said that the Liu family stayed in Yangzhou, but only two or three thousand people, just a partial division. Such an army actually took Yangzhou, an important city in the world. Is Daming exhausted?

While they were watching, the imperial court hastened 800 Li and sent a new edict.
