What kind of scene is Jiangnan in late spring?

As a time traveler, Zheng Zhilong naturally thought of the ancient town of Jiangnan in later generations, Bai Juyi's "Remembering Jiangnan", and the fireworks described in the book during the misty rain in March.

In Zheng Zhilong's heart, Jiangnan at this time was a feast of colorful flowers and flowers. The beauty under the misty rain was like a beautiful painting that unfolded!

A thin silk rain lingers in people's heart curtains!

Hazy, simple, gentle, like poetry and picturesque, reflected in your eyes!

This is the Jiangnan in his mind at the end of March. In short, it is beautiful.

Entering from the estuary of the Yangtze River by boat, Zheng Zhilong looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides, the small black boats on the river, and the white walls and tiles of the village on the shore, and he felt very satisfied with the feeling of "as expected".

With the drizzle of silk and fog, watching the scenery on the vast river surface is really beyond the reach of ancient towns or modern buildings in later generations.

As the fleet deepened, the prosperous Yangtze River waterway gradually appeared in front of him.

Baoshan, Wusong, and Liuhebao, three garrison Qianhu City, near the Yangtze River, appeared in Zheng Zhilong's sight in turn.

It was not beyond his expectations. It was obviously just a thousand-house city, but the city gate was full of traffic and crowded, but it was much more lively than the county towns in Denglai. Not to mention the number of houses outside the city walls.

Just looking at the appearance of these three military Qianhu Suocheng, you can see the prosperity of Jiangnan.

Similarly, when you look at the three places in front of you, Qianhusuocheng, which originally meant to be military and military affairs, and become what you are today, you can't ask about the martial arts in Jiangnan.

Zheng Zhilong thought about the land of Qilu again because of the storm of the Qing army entering the border. He looked at the current "settlement and peace" among the people in Jiangnan, and could only sigh in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty's control over Jiangnan was really...unbearable.

The fleet stopped and went straight west.

Zheng Zhilong is going to Chongming and visiting the Shen family.

Because the big bird boat I was riding was deep, it could not cross many shallows and dark sandy river waterways on the north bank of the river, and sailed directly along the south bank waterways on the south bank of the river, passing through Nansha and Changsha one after another, and then arrived at Chongmingsha.

Today's Chongming is very different from later generations. Chongming Island in later generations was an island after the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Changsha and the surrounding Nansha and Pingyang sand merged into a sandbank. The basic outline of Chongming Island was formed until that time.

The current Chongming Sand is just a section in the western part of Chongming Island in later generations.

The dock was covered with red colors, and the drums were loud. The Shen family attached great importance to Zheng Zhilong's visit, just as Zheng Zhilong regarded the Chongming Shen family as an important political ally, the Shen family valued Zheng Zhilong even more.

Because Zheng Zhilong's potential strength is much stronger than the Sand Ship Gang led by the Shen family, and the power of Min Haiwang is enough to easily subvert the southeast coast. Not to mention that the Zheng army now also shows extremely strong combat power.

In the past, the Zheng family, who had one leg, could easily turn the south into a pot of porridge, let alone the Zheng family group that now has two legs.

And what about the Shen family?

Their strength and the entire Sand Ship Gang are mainly reflected in the "world" under the Zhu Ming order.

With Shen Tingyang's ability, the strength of the Shen family and its influence in Jiangnan, as long as Emperor Chongzhen goes south, he will definitely be an important force in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

After all, defense against the Jianghuai River is inseparable from the navy, and the surface power is the specialty of the Sand Boat Gang.

Zheng Zhilong would not get involved in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He would only establish the world as a foreign prince who listened to the tune and did not listen to the Xuan Dynasty. However, he must have a few powerful allies in the Southern Ming Dynasty, right? Jiang Dejing did not count.

So, he came this time to deepen his connection with the Shen family.

Not only will the ships that will continue to hire Shachuan Gang to transport various materials to Zhifu Island and Juehua Island, but they will also talk to the Shen family about arms trade.

Muskets, cannons, swords, spears and armor, with the current military production of Zheng's family, can be divided into a portion of the Shen family.

And with this thing as the foundation, the ally relationship between Chen and Zheng was established.

At the same time, he was also leaving enough time for Zheng Hongkui to come forward and have a good talk with the Dutch. In this way, the negotiation effect would be that the two families would not break up immediately, right?

Zheng Hongkui is not Zheng Zhilong, nor is he the leader of the Zheng Group. There is still room for ease between them!

The Dutch will definitely feel a huge threat after receiving the news. The Dutch who still has time to 'ease' the relationship between the two families will definitely send a Clipper, striving to notify Batavia in the shortest time. After receiving the news, the latter will definitely quickly send a fleet to reinforce their Formosa.

This is what Zheng Zhilong is happy to see.

Although this seems to make the "possible" war even more difficult, if the war between the two really breaks out, it will give Zheng a chance to resolve the threat from the Dutch in the shortest time.

After receiving the instructions from Zheng Hongkui, the Dutch authorities asked He Bin to take a boat to Anping in advance to have an early contact with the Zheng family.

Before the two officially begin negotiations, let’s get in touch and understand each other’s intentions.

He Bin was an old man from Shibazhili back then. Although he parted ways with Zheng Zhilong, he was different from Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin, Yang Liu, and Yang Qi, who stood opposite Zheng Zhilong. He and Guo Huaiyi and Zheng always maintained a good relationship.

The day Zheng Zhilong traveled through time was the day when Zheng Sen got married. He and Guo Huaiyi also sent a representative of their confidants to have a wedding wine.

"Is this Anping Port?"

Standing at the bow of the ship, He Bin looked at the closer and closer Port Anping, and his mouth grew bigger.

Is this still the Anping Port he knows?

Anping, which he had sent to congratulate the Zheng family, described earlier, was completely different from what he saw now.

When he saw it just now, he thought he had come to the wrong place.

I won’t mention the turrets that look like stone-built turrets. What are the things that stand on the pier trench bridge? And the tracks on the pier.

He could see the tracks one by one with his naked eyes, with carriages driving on them, and the two horses pulled the obviously lengthened flatbed cart, and the goods piled up on them were beyond his imagination.

There were only two horses pulling the cart, pulling such heavy cargo, why could they still run so fast? And the track seemed to be like a rut, which made the cart only drive along it.

At the end of the carriage is a row of tall warehouses inside the dock, which is obviously a warehouse.

He Bin looked at the flat dock again, and the latter was divided into several colors.

First, there were different trade sailors, then laborers in uniform blue uniforms, dock officials in black uniforms, and military guards in red battle robes. The entire dock was reasonable, revealing a thing that the Zheng group lacked most in the past - order.

If it weren't for someone else's sight, He Bin would have lost his composure and rubbed his eyes with his hands.

Is this really the Anping Port of Zheng’s family?

Are the Zheng family I knew in the past all fake Zheng family?

In fact, this is also He Bin's "blinded" by his past memories. The old memories are too deep, thus ignoring the recent changes in Zheng's group.

Otherwise, with his identity, we can fully detect the difference between Zheng and the past.

If you want to talk about Xiamen, Anping is still too far away, where is the Dayuan Island?

In these days, in the territory controlled by the Zheng family, villages and cities were established, and batches of new recruits were released. The most indispensable word is the word "order".

And when He Bin set foot in Anping Port, he faced even more shocks.

Public toilets, trash cans, horse-driving lanes, pedestrian roads, branches on the left and right, there are special traffic police at the intersection, and patrolmen with knives on the street. There are also urban management specializing in staring at people.

Shi Daxuan, who came to greet him, told him one by one rule, and those who had no weapons and only had short sticks called urban management.

If you throw garbage anywhere, take garbage anywhere, and urinate anywhere, you will be under the supervision of the city.
