Charlie is very sensible.

Or, he understands the process very well.

This is completely different from some people who are confused about it. They have all been reduced, so why are they trying to do anything?

So his attitude is very clear and straightforward.

Even if everyone is left to you for disposal, I won’t say anything, you can do it yourself.

Of course, ships are also your spoils. Whether you sink or incorporate them, that is also the business of your Ming Dynasty.

My identity is a prisoner, so I will do what a prisoner should do peacefully.

The only request is a letter.

This is very important.

Because he and the crew members are still thousands of miles away, even if they are in this situation now, they should at least let them know where they are.

Not only that, as the commander, he had to send a passionate letter to the king, reiterate his loyalty once again, and of course, he would also mention many realistic issues.

In short, he firmly believed that he and the relatives of the officers on the fleet would find ways to put pressure on the king. At that time, there would naturally be representatives of the Dharma King coming to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty with great sincerity.

Before this, I just honestly expressed my obedience.

To put it bluntly, I will do whatever you ask me to do.

Zhang Jingyi's feelings at this time were shocked. The first time he encountered a captive who cooperated like this.

People were even considerate enough to think about Zhang Jing’s plan.

Letters to the Dharma King and his family will be reviewed in advance to Zhang Jingyi's people.

The ship and the gold and silver on the ship naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty and have nothing to do with them. The French on the ship... If possible, they were even willing to set up a prison camp and lock themselves up. During the imprisonment process, all the expenses can be asked by the Ming Dynasty to ask the French side for it.

In short, I don’t bother you, I arranged it clearly.

Zhang Jingyi didn't care about this, these people... they would just get rid of them in the future.

Zhang Jing asked: "How is the situation of other ships?"

Charlie honestly said: "The situation is not much better than us. Most ships lack food and fresh water, gunpowder cannot be replenished, medicine is lacking, and there are even many ships that cannot be effectively repaired. I think...if they cannot dock, then... the situation may be very bad. I heard that some ships are trying to go to Macau... want to try... able to replenish some there... so my suggestion is... If your Highness, you can station an army in Macau, then they have no hope at all."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "I have thought of these things for a long time, but... why didn't you go to Macau?"

Charlie immediately said: "Macau is too small to supply a large-scale fleet. Even if you go... I'm afraid it's difficult to get supplies. And... I think, since the Ming navy did not adopt an annihilation strategy during the naval battle, but deliberately attacked the supply ships, then your highness, your strategy must be to cut off the supply and cut off the fleet's hopes! Since that's the case, how can it be possible to leave Macau?"

"So, my judgment at that time was that Your Highness, you may have sent a large number of troops to assemble in Macau. As soon as the fleet landed, those fleets that were in desperate situations might have stepped into the trap."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help laughing. To be honest... This, as Charlie said, had indeed been thought of for a long time.

These fleets can always launch unexpected attacks on the ports. It is not that the Ming army cannot do anything to them, but that they can always attack them unprepared.

But now that they know that their focus is Macau, it would be fine if they send a Donglin army there to wait for their work.

As for other ports, they all adopt the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. As long as they really dare to go to Macau, they will be hit on them.

Zhang Jingyi said with great satisfaction: "Yes, you are a smart person."

"Your Highness... I do have some wisdom, but my wisdom judgment is based on your superb wisdom. It is precisely because of your excellent skills that I can make predictions on this basis." Charlie said without taking the opportunity.

After a pause, Charlie seemed to think of something and said, "But your Highness, have you ever thought that by then... a large number of ships will dock, and many people will become your captives, including the English, the Netherlands, the Portuguese and the Spanish... and even the Swiss mercenary corps. So many people... may cause some trouble to your Highness. If they are executed, it will hinder your kindness, but it cannot be released easily. They must suffer a lot. Have you ever thought about managing them?"

Zhang Jingyi seemed to be interested suddenly and stared at him and said, "It seems that you have a solution."

Charlie said: "I heard that the Netherlands run their colonies because they have few people, so they like to find a minority race in the colonies, give them privileges, and use these minority races to manage the majority. In this way, because these minority races are locals, they understand the local customs and people, and also understand astronomy and geography, and can give the Netherlands many useful suggestions, not to mention that their identities are superior, so that the Netherlands needs to use force as their guarantee to manage the majority of indigenous peoples."

"My advice is the same as the Netherlands' methods. Just talk about me. My partner and I know very well about Spain, Portugal, English, and Swiss people. We know their customs, their language, and what they are thinking in our minds..."

"If your Highness... agree with me, my subordinates and I are willing to serve you." Charlie blinked and looked up at Zhang Jingyi carefully.

Even if you surrender, you must be a model for surrenderers. Charlie is very clear about this!

He rushed to surrender with the fleet in a hurry, which was actually quite part of the reason. After all, there is a need for shepherds everywhere in this world, and Charlie didn't mind using his first-mover advantage to surrender to change his future situation in the East.

Zhang Jingyi pondered without expressing his opinion. His calm face made people unable to see his emotions. He just said lightly: "Let's take the person down first, and let's see the others."

As a result, the French fleet descended and the situation in the six coastal provinces became completely clear.

Li Dingguo's army and horses had already rushed to Macau, and the army directly entered Macau.

Sure enough, half a month later, ships began to land in Macau. These hungry people flocked to the ashore and soon surrendered.

Those who occasionally resisted will be wiped out, and it is merciless.

However, Zhang Jingyi had already let go of Zhenjiang and returned to Beijing quickly.

It was the beginning of spring. When we arrived at Tianjin Wei on a canal boat, here, the Tianjin Wei already looked like a big city.

Originally, this place was the sea portal of the Ming Dynasty, so it was a military center. However, with the prosperity of canal transportation, Tianjin Wei, as an important node in canal transportation, gradually became more commercial.

Until the railway was built, it became both the node of land railways and the intersection of canal transportation, and thus countless merchants gathered.

Zhang Jingyi was guarded by someone to board the railway station. A steam locomotive was waiting here. The seven or eight carriages were filled with fully armed officers and soldiers and personnel from the Jinyiwei.

The next day, the steam locomotive slowly arrived in the capital.

At this time... Sun Chengzong was already waiting on the platform.

News about Zhenjiang has already reached the capital.

It is a foregone conclusion that Wang Wenjun is involved in the thief. After all, the evidence is too detailed, so there is no slight denial.

However, there is still controversy.

Some people believe that Zhang Jingyi had arbitrarily dealt with the supervisor, and had committed a big taboo, and demanded severe punishment and not lending. Otherwise... if he dared to supervise the supervisor today, wouldn't he dare to be the emperor tomorrow?

Some people also believe that the harm of robbery is too great. If you cannot act cheaply, it will inevitably worsen the situation and follow the power of things urgently. If you are not allowed to decide the six provinces.

Just when everyone is having a big fuss.

When news came out that Zhang Jingyi was about to arrive in Beijing.

At this time, the imperial edict was spread, and the cabinet Grand Secretary Sun Chengzong went to welcome Zhang Jingyi.

At this moment... the attitude in the palace was self-evident.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is the prime minister. As soon as the prime minister personally welcomes Zhang Jing to Beijing, this specification can be said to be extremely high.

Only those who have a very noble status or have made great contributions can enjoy this honor.

Obviously, this is the great contribution of Your Majesty to recognize Zhang Jingyi!

Since I recognized the credit, I naturally believed that there was no problem with Wang Wenjun's handling.

After getting off the car, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Jingyi greeted each other on the platform.

Sun Chengzong smiled and said first: "I heard the news of Triumph, and the court was shocked. Your Majesty was even more happy... It's not easy, it's not easy, but... what's the situation in the six provinces now? I only heard that I was victorious in the naval battle, but how to encircle and suppress the thieves in the future should not be underestimated."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, it's already arranged."

Sun Chengzong did not continue to ask questions. He knew that since Zhang Jingyi had said this, he must have had a plan long ago. There was no need to worry about the pirates.

Sun Chengzong remembered some things and said, "At the beginning, I strongly recommended Governor Zhang. Now I am not going to mention this afterwards and seeking credit for it, but... In today's current situation, it is useless to rely on someone like Wang Wenjun for such a big event!"
