People have different cognitions.

For the court, pirates are just thieves, robbing everywhere and killing people everywhere.

But Zhang Jingyi knew that the so-called pirates in this era focused more on commercial attributes, which was completely different from the pirates in the early Ming Dynasty.

After all, there are so many places for you to grab on this sea, there are thousands of miles of blue waves.

The only possibility that these pirates can develop to such a huge scale is to engage in commercial trade.

This is also why the Zheng family was able to directly pull out a huge army in the late Ming Dynasty.

These people first came into contact with Folang Jiren. The model of Folang Jiren holding a sword in one hand and doing business with the other hand, but in fact they have already followed suit.

The pirates of the real Han people were almost completely banned, which happened after the Qing Dynasty completely eliminated Zheng Ming and the Lanfang Republic completely disappeared.

After all, losing the nourishment of the mother country, facing the increasingly powerful colonists, it is only a matter of time before they die when they are attacked from both sides.

This is also the difference between Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Guangqian.

When Zhang Guangqian heard that he was going to go to the sea to see the Bei Batian, he was so scared that he was completely uneasy because he believed that the pirates were extremely cruel and only knew how to kill, and there was no difference between the murderous maniac he imagined.

But in Zhang Jingyi's opinion, the pirate is rational and can be talked about, as long as he...patriotic... no, he is willing to be in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when I heard that Zhang Jing was going to go out to sea, the Tianjin Weili was in chaos for a while.

The local eunuchs, as well as local commanders, and the thousands of officials of the Jinyiwei, came to persuade them.

Zhang Jing said lightly: "I am responsible for the emperor's order. The matter of raising the suffrage is your Majesty's heart. Now that there is hope for raising the suffrage, how can you retreat? Don't worry, I am writing a poem here to make your heart clear. If you report this matter to you, the court will not blame you."

After saying that, someone brought in a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Holding a brush, I wrote down the lines of large characters that the dog crawled.

After seeing this, everyone was amused and laughed. It would be fine if the word "Dog Sun" was ugly, but this poem was copied: "Xiao Zhu temporarily stayed high, worried about the past. He called the jar to greet the guest, waved the steed to talk about war. The clouds protected toothpicks were full, and the stars were filled with swords. It was not my intention to be a marquis, but I hope the sea waves would be calm."

Everyone looked at each other and blushed.

To be honest, the ones standing here are either factory officials or eunuchs or military generals. There is actually not much integrity, but even if there is no integrity, when Zhang Jing finished writing the poem, everyone felt their scalp numb. Even if the bottom line is low, at this moment, they still have no words to praise and cannot find the angle.

Zhang Jingyi felt in her heart that I, Zhang Jingyi, are the lowest-educated time traveler. Unfortunately, in the late Ming Dynasty, I was in chaos and I neither could copy poetry nor did I practice my calligraphy well.

He was very calm and smiled and said, "This is Qi Taibao's poem to express my ambitions. Today I borrowed a great ambition to show my Zhang Jingyi. Okay, please don't say anything, see you again."

After saying that, he turned around and told Wang Cheng: "Has Zhang Guang's former deputy envoy set off?"

Wang Cheng said: "He refused to go."

Zhang Jingyi said sternly: "The imperial envoy is on an envoy, like a soldier who goes to the battlefield, how could he not go if he says he can't go? If he tied up, take it on the boat."

At the pier, there were a few ships waiting.

They are all small boats, not big.

The young man had already been waiting for Zhang Jingyi here. Seeing that Zhang Jingyi had indeed come, he was very surprised: "The imperial envoy is indeed trustworthy."

Zhang Jingyi said: "No need to exchange greetings. I know you are a man in the world. It is useless to say more about these things. Now, I have given you my life to you. You can do it yourself."

The young man clasped his fists and showed some admiration, saying, "I admire you."

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Guangqian, who had been tied into a rice dumpling, and couldn't help but look contemptuous.

Immediately, small boats left the dock and took Zhang Jingyi and dozens of escorts to leave the harbor of Tianjin Wei.

As soon as Zhang Jing stood at the bow of the boat, he watched the gulls circling in the sky. When the distance was farther away, the seagulls became less and less. It can be seen that this place was getting farther and farther away from the mainland.

The young man stood beside Zhang Jingyi. He seemed to have a good impression of Zhang Jingyi: "Will the imperial envoy not take a break?"

"No need." Zhang Jing said: "Look at it everywhere. Who are you from Bei Batian?"

"Adopted son." When the young man talked about his adoptive father, he showed admiration and then said: "The adoptive father has thirteen adopted sons, and we thirteen brothers are all raised by our adoptive father."

Zhang Jingyi said, "What's your name?"

The young man smiled: "Thirteen tigers."

Zhang Jing was stunned: "This is also called a name?"

"The people at sea are lazy, and their names are just signs. I have twelve brothers above me. The eldest brother calls the big tiger and the second brother calls the second tiger. If you arrange them like this, you won't remember it."

Zhang Jing said oh, but didn't say anything more.

After these ships left the sea, I didn't know how long it took to travel, and a large sea ship began to appear in the distance.

Zhang Jingyi looked on the boat and couldn't help but look lit up.

What awesome guy, this sea boat is looking up at the small boat, it is really a giant, and it makes people feel awe. Zhang Jing looked carefully and couldn't help but say, "This boat doesn't look like my Han boat."

"This is the Franchise ship." Thirteen Tiger said: "When the Franchise East India Company wanted to seize the Portuguese business port, and Portugal was defeated, he asked people to help the war. Seeing that there was an opportunity, my adoptive father also took his brothers to get a share of the pie. Taking advantage of the defeat of the East India Company and the fleet was about to escape, he sent someone to rob the two of the retreating Dutch ships. Look, it will be used after repairing it."

When Zhang Jing heard this, he was speechless and waited for the boat to approach the large ship of the Flanger moored in the sea. Then, the Flanger boat put down the hanging basket and everyone boarded it.

Zhang Guangqian was the worst. His body was already weak, and he tied his hands and feet. When he got into the sea, he felt dizzy and vomited all over the floor.

Zhang Jingyi ignored him and arrived on the deck of the big ship. The big ship rose sails and Yang Fan rode the wind and waves.

He couldn't help but ask Thirteen Hu again: "What kind of person is your adoptive father? He is not an unknown person who can have such a career in the sea."

Thirteen Hu said, "This... cannot be said. How can we expose our own conduct? You are an imperial envoy, but you are very brave. The villain respects you. But it is just on this sea. It is better not to ask people wherever they come from. This is a taboo."

Zhang Jing laughed and said, "Of course I know the rules in this sea. I just want to test it. What if I ask?"

Thirteen Tigers: "…"

The big ship walked for a day and night before taking advantage of the early morning fog to slowly enter a port.

Zhang Jingyi didn't know where this was. After waiting for the pier, he saw that this was an island. Although the island was not big, the sparrows were small and had all the internal organs.

It seems very cold here and there is no one to greet you.

Zhang Guangqian got off the boat and the man fainted.

Zhang Jing glanced at him in disgust, but ignored anything.

Immediately, Zhang Jing asked Thirteen Hu: "Since this marquis is here, why didn't Bei Batian come to meet?"

Thirteen Hu smiled and said, "Please."

After saying that, he led Zhang Jing into the depths of the island and arrived at a house, and then said again: "Please."

Zhang Jing stepped forward, and Wang Cheng and others were going to follow him.

Thirteen tigers stopped them: "Everyone can stay."

Wang Cheng was full of worry, and couldn't help but hold the hilt of the knife around his waist and sneered: "What's the point?"

Thirteen Hu said, "Don't worry, if you really want to be unfavorable to the imperial envoy, what can you do if you are by his side all the time?"

Wang Cheng couldn't help but glared at him, as if he knew that the Thirteen Tigers' words made sense, so he didn't say anything.

When I get here, I am really a person who serves as a lie.

Zhang Jingyi went straight into the house.

But I saw a little maid here and did not see the legendary Bei Batian.

It seems like a study, which not only contains books, but also has all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

Zhang Jing asked the maid, "Where is the master here."

The maid replied: "You can't come now."

Zhang Jingyi became curious and said, "Why is this?"

The maid said, "The head of the family said that if you want to meet, you need to take the test first."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

The maid said again: "If you pass the exam, the imperial envoy will be the guest of honor. You will naturally treat you with courtesy and will naturally apologize. But if you fail the exam, you will naturally ask the imperial envoy to go back home. From now on, everyone will not violate the river water and will have nothing to do with it."

Zhang Jingyi was furious and said, "I thought Bei Batian was a trustworthy person, but who knew that he was actually making a mystery here, but it really didn't deserve the name."

The maid didn't say anything, but took a paper and sent it to Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jing looked down and immediately understood the meaning of the Bei Batian.

The so-called test paper is actually just a few questions. One is to ask Zhang Jingyi to answer how the Dutch East India Company operates, and the other is to ask the specialties from various places...

Generally speaking, it is all about maritime trade issues.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi knew why there was such a so-called exam.

Actually, I wanted to find out.

They didn't know whether the court's pacification was true or false, but since the pacification was the most likely to use the people like Bei Batian to conduct maritime trade.

But if the court knew nothing about sea trade and was called "pacifying" to engage in sea trade, then it might be that it was fake or that it was real to deceive the pirates into landing.

If Zhang Jingyi, the imperial envoy, knew everything about overseas affairs, then the situation might be different, which means that the court had a preliminary understanding of maritime trade, so he decided to follow the East India Company and use it to make huge profits in the vast ocean.

Zhang Jing curled his lips and said, "I hate answers the most. I will tell you the situation of the East India Company directly. You can just turn the answer."
