"Is it necessary?" Zheng Zhilong frowned and thought secretly in his heart...

The court had already decided to transfer him to lead his army north, but this was purely useless in Zheng Zhilong's eyes. Can't his warships go to land?

Without the navy, it depends on his "housekeepers", namely the Iron Man Camp, the black soldiers and the Japanese forward team, and they are covered in iron, how many nails can they drive out?

The subordinates of Huang Taiji are more than 100,000 servants.

Whether it is Hong Chengchou of Songshan or Zu Dashou of Jinzhou, they are all birds in cages that cannot be escaped without flying.

It is even more unreliable to count on him as he is unreliable, and to count on Wu Sangui's remnants of defeated soldiers.

Instead of forgetting Song Jin, Emperor Chongzhen might as well take the opportunity to build more castles in the dangerous places outside Ningyuan City.

But Emperor Chongzhen’s idea was not something he could lead, and Zheng Zhilong was facing a multiple-choice question now.

"No matter whether he is NN's virtue or not, let's see if my knife is worthy first. Brother, don't pay attention to Chen Ding's sour scholar and make him silly fart!" Zheng Zhibao sweared directly. He obviously didn't believe Chen Ding's statement.

"Fourth brother, do you think?" Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Hongkui. He had five brothers, the third brother died early, and the second brother Zheng Zhihu was really in the hands of Liu Xiang, and there were only two brothers left by his side.

"I think Mr. Chen's words are not unreasonable."

"Fourth brother, don't you be fooled by that poor scholar?"

"Shut up, Lao Wu." Zheng Hongkui rolled his eyes impatiently and continued to say Zheng Zhilong, "It makes sense not to say whether it is true that virtue is not worthy of position. Just talk about your name, brother, that's really worse than the escaped general Zuo Liangyu."

"There is a bird for a name!"

Zheng Zhibao muttered quietly beside him, and got another white-eyed dart from Zheng Hongkui.

"Why is a reputation that is useless? It's not a reputation that is blown out with a mouth. It's a reputation that is cut out with a knife.

Everyone knows that my Zheng family has a full warehouse of gold and silver, so they must let them know that my Zheng family’s knife is sharper!”

"If the emperor really fled to Jinling, what would he have to have if he wanted to cover half of the country?"

"What do you need to earn a new family property after the high-ranking officials in the capital fled south?"

Zheng Hongkui knew that his elder brother was going to pull him when he was at the end of his life and sent him to Jiangnan to open up a new world. But he still didn't stand up and hurried aside to manage his own power. But it was not easy to ask the court to continue to ignore Fujian.

The money in the hands of the Zheng family is a disaster.

"Don't you hear the reason for the crime of possessing a treasure?"

At that time, Zheng Zhilong and his soldiers were a guarantee of their reputation.

"The higher the reputation of my eldest brother taking the Tartars' heads, the stronger the combat power of my Zheng family will appear, and the more we can rest assured by then."

"Even in the long run, this will be of great help to the future."

Zheng Zhilong said: "Where does this start?" Could it be that his actions are in the near future? Can Zheng Hongkui look at it so long?

"How can the knife suppress the northerners not shake the southerners?"

Zheng Zhilong wants to reform the system.

It is a small meaning to clear the land of Zhangzhang. It is a small meaning to work together. It is also a small meaning to pay food together. There are also a small meaning to increase commercial taxes, salt taxes, etc. This has touched the lifeblood of the Donglin Party. Can it be shocked by just a knife? It must be killed.

Zheng Hongkui looked at Zheng Zhilong's disapproval and said, "Brother, you are in the game. You underestimate the heads of the Tartars too much. That's much more expensive than the heads of our Han." The heads of the Tartars can be cut off. Is the heads of your officials and gentry more important than those of the Tartars?

Do you want money or death?

When the dynasty was changed, bad names were also a kind of name.

"I feel a lot about seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu when I look at my elder brother's ideas. However, although Tokugawa Ieyasu is known as a turtle, he also has the so-called Four Heavenly Kings and Sixteen Gods under his command. He has also fought many times throughout his life." Although Tokugawa Ieyasu is an old turtle, he did not hide in his nest and fight a battle.

In Zheng Hongkui's eyes, his elder brother wanted to create a brand new Zheng family dynasty and to eliminate many broken rules of the Zhu family dynasty. Of course, Zheng Zhilong's reputation should be bigger, the better, and the deeper the majesty, the better.

"Brother is planning ahead and acting steadily does not mean that he will rise up in a short period of time. In this way, there is time to operate a statement. How can he not know that he will be able to come to everyone by then?"

"What's more, when Zisu is mean and polite today, he is not a wise and heroic lord. As the eldest brother said, it is really difficult for the emperor to protect the capital. Can he get it when he arrives in Jinling?"

"Brother wants to win the emperor at the end of his life in the court, but it would be too natural to be out of the matter later."

"However, if there is really one day when the emperor of the Zhu family loses the people's hearts and hopes, and his elder brother is still very prestige, then wouldn't my Zheng family achieve twice the result with half the effort?"

In short, Zheng Hongkui was on Chen Ding and Shi Fu's side. He advocated that Zheng Zhilong lead his troops north to get the Tartars to gain reputation.

Zheng Zhilong sighed.

He took down his disgust for Hong Chengchou and wanted to be honest and open, such as the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Songshan City, which he could not ignore, right?

It’s the same as before. When I didn’t have the opportunity to reach out, I could just sit back and watch without worrying. But now that I have this opportunity, and it seems that it is very necessary, I can’t let it go any further.

It seems that it has been the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen’s dragon throne in Yanjing City will become more and more hot. At this time, he can jump out to reveal his muscles.

At least there is no internal threat.

The longer he traveled through time, the deeper he understood the late Ming Dynasty, the deeper he had an understanding of the current situation.

The Ming court's control over the local area had long been lost. Emperor Chongzhen generously cut off his nine thousand-year-old head, but then turned against the incompetent Donglin Party, and his control over the fertile land in Jiangnan became worse and worse.

Now, after Song Jin's defeat, a powerful faction like Zheng Zhilong can live relatively freely as long as he does not pose the banner of rebellion.

Judging from the Ming court's handling of the Songjin War, the six generals fleeing south were the only ones who were thrown into prison, Wang Pu, who suffered the most losses and was also the culprit. The remaining few people, Tang Tong, Ma Ke, Bai Guangen, Li Fuming and Wu Sangui, were all demoted to the rank and served as officials.

In fact, there is no loss to Mao.

Wu Sangui was even given the title of military commander outside the Pass because of his own strength and influence in the Guanning Army. Isn’t it ridiculous?

After a big defeat, he was promoted.

Of course, Wang Pu has not been beheaded yet, but has been sent to prison. When will he beheaded, it remains to be discussed. Zheng Zhilong smiled in his heart when he heard that Wu Sangui was not only not punished, but also had the title of admiral.

Fortunately, he thought about farming silently in Fujian for three years. He really looked up to the Ming Dynasty today and looked down on himself too lowly.

But he couldn't think too deeply at that time. Until now, he really had to adjust his thinking. Now he is not very famous. As long as he doesn't rebel, there is no need to be a rich man and a guardian dog like he used to be!

Zheng Zhilong, who had made up his mind, was decisive and decisive.

Since he was about to sail north after the New Year, he started to form a team at this time. Because of the wind direction, and the combat area was near the sea, he could not carry any of the Garen ships in his hands, and could only use black-tailed ships with hard sails and shallow drafts.

Of course, there are also several old gate ships, which are transport fleets. There are also several centipede ships, which are patrol teams and are also powerful tools for fighting in offshore rivers.

The centipede ship is a Portuguese warship. Although it has a very Chinese name, this cannot change the fact that it is a Portuguese warship. It is just that because its ship is a light sailing ship with a long and narrow hull and many grooves on both sides, it looks like a centipede, so it is called the "centipede ship".

This kind of ship can only be equipped with small cannons, but it is fast and very fast. It has pointed bottom and wide surface, and there are dozens of oars on both sides. It moves like flying without overturning. In addition to the strong wind and roar, it can be done whether it goes against the wind. But if it can be drummed down the flow, it will be hundreds of miles a day.

Zheng Zhilong also had such warships under his command, all of which were arranged in Anping Port and Xiamen. They were offshore warships and were not valued by him in the past.

However, this time he went north outside the pass, Zheng Zhilong felt that he needed a police whistle to monitor the actions of the Tartars at any time. He was also preparing to lead a fleet along the Liao River and the Ling River to the river. Is it natural that he could use a centipede boat?

Ships gathered in Anping City. Zheng Zhilong, who had a great family and a wealthy family, had enough ships for him to choose from. The main fleet of fifty bird ships and black-tailed ships, plus ten old gate ships and ten centipede ships. They had all gathered before the twelfth lunar month.

At the same time, a team of only 1,500 people was also transported to Anping by sea. They were the brave men selected from many groups of refugees who arrived in Taiwan in the past six months.

Zheng Zhilong took out the armor made by the weapon system during this period, of course it could not be plate armor. The time was too short. Although a few masters with superb skills could use fine iron to create plate armor, for soldiers, plate armor was too luxurious.

On the contrary, the armor has mature technology and with wind-powered forging hammers, the iron sheet making is not only much more textured, but also much simpler and faster, which greatly reduces the cost of the armor as a whole.

Zheng Zhilong prepared a thick iron helmet, iron armor, arms, skirt apron, iron shoes and other necks for these 1,500 people, which could penetrate the sharp arrows without entering. He also made an iron face, only revealing his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

If there is a second time traveler with "informed knowledge", he will definitely call out the three words "Iron Man Army".

That's right, Zheng Zhilong is based on the current team organized by Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army in history. Even the basic formation was copied, with three soldiers and one army, one soldier holding a group of cards and two men blocking them, one soldier chopping horses, and one soldier chopping people!

There are hangars above the ranks, each with ten armoured soldiers, and ten followers; there are ranks above the ranks, and there are five subordinates; there are ranks above the ranks, and there are five subordinates.

That is, there are ten armored soldiers in a shed, fifty armored soldiers in a row, and two hundred and fifty armored soldiers in a group.

The battalion above the team has five teams, with 1,250 armored soldiers and 250 remaining as reserve teams!
