Chen Hua's words penetrated Shi Lang's ears, and he felt cold all over. When he looked at Chen Hua (Zheng Zhilong) again, there was a different meaning from the past.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong's image in his heart had become a little blurred. He became somewhat different from the Zheng Zhilong he knew and knew in the past.

This kind of person who covets the Zhu family's world and wants to play a loyal minister and filial son in front of Emperor Zhu at the right time is much different from the memory Zheng Zhilong gave Shi Lang in the past.

"Maybe, this is the real him!"

After all, his father Shi Daxuan is also an old man from Shibazhili. Shi Lang has heard of how Zheng Zhilong has come along and what ups and downs he has experienced.

Whether it is inheriting Yan Siqi's family title or squeezing Li Zhuguo and obtaining Li Dan's inheritance, it can prove that he is not a good person.

Are Yan Siqi and Li Dan without a biological son?

The person in front of him is very different from the Zheng Zhilong he knew in the past, but he should have understood that no one who can reach the level of Zheng Zhilong is simple? How could a pirate person, a person who licks blood at the edge of a knife, really tolerate and upright?

Shi Lang's insights are only part of Zheng Sen's insights.

As Zheng Zhilong’s son, Zheng Sen now has a feeling that his father is really strange.

Although he knew very early on that his father was not a true and kind person, otherwise his mother and brother would not have been in Japan for more than ten years. It was not just because the shogunate authorities stopped him and refused to leave, and Zheng Zhilong had never really protested to the shogunate authorities...

Moreover, the current mistress of the Zheng family, Yan, has no children, and her relatives are all beaten by the wind and rain.

However, Chen Hua's decision to establish a country overseas still made him confused, and there was a hint of surprise in his ignorance. Because he saw a hint of hope for liberation - as long as Zheng and the Ming Dynasty did not meet, he would be relieved easily.

But then others became stupid. Chen Hua's plot towards the Central Plains was so profound that he made him desperate.

"Don't worry about Sen'er. If your father knows your intentions, he will not make things difficult for you. If the Zhu family has endless luck, they will definitely be able to give birth to a true dragon in a few years. At that time, my Zheng family will settle for the second best. For my father, I will be the throne of a vassal king overseas. I will be called a lonely person overseas and can also protect the border of the Ming Dynasty and serve as a barrier on the Central Plains. It is also enough."

Too intense stimulation is not a good thing for a young man like Zheng Sen, so Chen Hua decided to ease his tone. But the meaning of the words is also very clear. It is not that he is determined to seize the world, but whether Zhu himself competes for it!

Then he changed his breath and said, "Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal are all powerful Western barbarians." He stood up, reached out and pointed at the European part, and followed the route of the great voyage from Europe to China. At this time, the Suez Canal had not been built yet, and it was bypassed the entire Africa and came to China, with a voyage of tens of thousands of miles.

"This is tens of thousands of miles away. The Western barbarians can suppress the indigenous people along the way, occupy land, build ports, and dock for their merchant ships. Just like Malacca in the South China Sea, Luzon. Its strength cannot be underestimated."

"Their warships and their true strength are definitely not what we see in the masters and in Nanyang. What's more, the large plywood ships they placed in front of us are just as powerful."

At the beginning, the battle of Luowan only said that he could win a big victory, but it was not a tactical victory, but the battle power of Zheng Zhilong's fleet. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the warship, the fleet with black-tailed ships and bird ships as the main force in his hands was much worse than the big red-haired plywood ships. Who made him get sneak attacked by the Dutch before that battle, and all the Western-style warships in his hands were burned?

"The boat is thirty zhang long, six zhang wide, more than two feet thick, five masts in the tree, and three floors behind it!" This is the Dutch Garen ship [called plywood ship in the East]. Compared with the main warship in Zheng Zhilong's hand - the black-tailed ship with a length of 10 zhang, more than 3 zhang wide, and 7 inches thick, the strength is determined!

Just from the combat effectiveness of the ships, China in the East has lagged behind Europe a hundred years after embarking on a great voyage. The glory of Zheng He's fleet has completely dimmed.

Zheng Zhilong, who was a pirate, was very sensitive on the warships. Long before he got into evil with the Dutch, he had realized the advantages of large warships in the era of artillery warfare and began to imitate them.

Before the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, he already owned more than a dozen plywood warships.

However, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, that is, the year when the Battle of Liu Xiang broke out, the new Dutch Taiwan Chief Putmans attempted to use force to occupy the coast of the mainland by force in order to force the Ming Dynasty to open up trade. With the help of Liu Xiang, he sent eight warships to launch a raid on Zheng Zhilong's troops who had just chased and defeated Liu Xiang and returned (Xiamen), without any warning.

Sink, burn and sink more than 20 warships of Zheng Zhilong in the port. These ships were Zheng Zhilong's elite troops and the most advanced maritime armed fleet in China at that time. The ships were well equipped with sixteen, twenty to thirty-six cannons.

There are ten large plywood ships built by Zheng Zhilong in the model of Dutch warships. The ship has a huge hull and well-equipped. The ship is also equipped with red cannons that can be dragged, with ring bolts, and placed on the double deck.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty recorded this: "When they read their warships, they were as strong as iron cities, and each ship could accommodate twenty-four large guns." Large guns were red cannons.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong suffered a lot of money when he was attacked. So during the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, the fifty gunships dispatched by Zheng Zhilong were just black-tailed ships and bird ships.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong won the battle cleanly. He took advantage of peace and licked his wounds silently and built one or two ships a year, and his strength has still recovered.

"It is naturally good to be able to suppress the Western barbarians, but that is a long-term solution. The important thing at the moment is to find a big enough place to settle down. Although this official is good, he is too close to the mainland. Once there is no time for the land, if we withdraw our troops into the island, the entire southeast will be covered by our navy. How can the capital be at ease?"

"The most powerful place is Luzon, followed by Malacca. However, these two territories are in the hands of Spain and the other in the hands of the Red-Hailand. Not to mention that the South of the great master is already occupied by the Netherlands. Unless they start war with it immediately, and can fight quickly and win quickly, otherwise they will be successful."

Therefore, although Chen Hua always said that Nanyang was, his actual target was not Spain and the Netherlands, at least not now!

"I want Luzon and Malacca, but with the strength of our army..." Chen Hua shook his head. All the backbones of the Zheng Group in the hall shook their heads.

Unrealistic. It also affects trade interests!
