Chapter 523

"Brother Wu, when will the arms arrive?" Now that the covenant was made, Zheng Chengzong immediately wanted to ask Wu Sangui to fulfill the contract. This batch of arms had a fatal attraction for Zheng Chengzong. The word "Be careful", in front of this batch of arms, has long been

It flew beyond the sky.

Although the firearms of the English are not as good as the firearms of the Liao soldiers, they are not inferior to the Dutch, and their performance is even better. There are two thousand muskets and ten cannons. As long as they have these firearms, they can

Zheng Chengzong became the overlord of his party.

Not to mention dominating Java, with such a batch of arms in hand, Zheng Chengzong's status in the Zheng family will also rise. Zheng Zhilong went to the capital to become a high-ranking official. The Zheng family is now leaderless. This is the time when the Zheng family's children can make great achievements. If at this time, oneself

With thousands of musketeers...!

"These arms will have to wait for a while. You know how long it takes to sail from India to Java on the open sea. Even if I want to hurry up, I'm afraid I can't get up fast. But...!" Wu Sangui once again whetted Zheng Chengzong's appetite.

Now I know why cats play with mice for a while before eating them after catching them. The feeling of playing with the prey like this is very interesting.

"Nothing more than what?" Zheng Chengzong thought to himself, this covenant has been made, how can there be nothing more than nothing?

"This is the first time for us brothers to do something together. In order to show our sincerity, I brought a hundred firecrackers with the ship and a batch of ammunition for you. Prepare it tonight. Brother Zheng, you can send someone to get it tomorrow.

"Wu Sangui patted his chest, looking disgusting and disgusting.

"Really?" Zheng Chengzong's eyes shone. Unexpectedly, this Wu brother was really a happy man. He gave him a hundred muskets and ammunition without saying a word. This man is worth making friends with.

"Could it be that Brother Zheng thinks that my brother will lie to you?" Wu Sangui said in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"No! No! How could I doubt my brother? Come here and have a banquet to entertain Brother Wu." Zheng Chengzong shouted excitedly to the outside. The kitchen in the house immediately started to move, and the treasured Wuliangye was also taken out to entertain this distinguished person.

of guests.

All the people in the Zheng family who could get on the stage were summoned by Zheng Chengzong to drink with Wu Sangui. During the dinner, he took Wu Sangui's hand and announced to everyone that Wu Sangui was just like his biological brother Zheng Chengzong. Anyone who dares to embarrass him in the future will be embarrassed.

He is Zheng Chengzong.

The people in the mansion immediately bowed and saluted. I don't know how the master became a close friend with this official Wu who only met him once.

Early the next morning, Zheng Chengzong couldn't wait to send a confidant over and took away a hundred firecrackers and a lot of ammunition from Wu Sangui's ship.

"Young Marshal! Just give him a hundred fire guns?"

"You must have bait when fishing, don't worry. If Zheng Chengzong swallows this bait, he will never die again. Not only will he die, but the Ming Dynasty maritime merchant power in Java City will also be wiped out. From now on, it will never happen again.

No Ming merchants would come to Java to do business.

"Kui Yi, there is only one way left to follow us." Wu Sangui showed a treacherous smile on his face. No matter what happened in the past, from the moment he took these one hundred fire blunderbuss, Zheng Chengzong and the Ming Dynasty merchants on Java Island would become

A dead end.

The strongest building on the island of Java is the Governor's Palace in Kuiyi. The Governor's Palace was built like a fortress, with numerous shooting holes, and all the fortifications were made of solid volcanic rocks. Even if the artillery hit it,

, it’s just a small gap.

Two thousand Dutch soldiers were stationed around the Governor's Palace, and some indigenous servant soldiers were stationed on the periphery. Kui Yi was still wary of the Ming Dynasty merchants. People from the Ming Dynasty could serve as officials at all levels in Java, even as stewards of the Governor's Palace.

no problem.

But the only thing that cannot be touched is the Javanese army. Kuiyi can arm the lowest level of the indigenous people, but he will never let the Ming Dynasty have a firecracker.

"Your Majesty Governor, yesterday Wu Sangui went to visit Zheng Chengzong, the leader of the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants. The two met secretly for half a day, but because they drove everyone away, I don't know what they said. But after the secret meeting, Zheng Chengzong held a banquet and was very happy.

They invited Wu Sangui to have a meal. The standards were so high that they even put out the Wuliangye that they normally wouldn’t take out.” Kui Yi’s deputy, Adams, ran to Kui Yi’s office early in the morning to report to him.

If Java City is a huge spider web, then Adams is the spider in the middle of the web. Each of his tentacles controls every move in Java City. As soon as he received the news this morning, Adams hurriedly

Run to Kuiyi's office.

"Wu Sangui? How could he know anyone from the Zheng family?" Kui Yi frowned, his forehead lines forming several cross-cutting mountains.

Zheng Chengzong is a member of the Zheng family and the leader of the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants in Java. If anyone in Java has the ability to shake Kui Yi's position, it is none other than Zheng Chengzong. Therefore, monitoring Zheng Chengzong's family is also a key task for Adams.

"I don't know. People present at the time said that the two were very close. It was like the highest friendship between Ming people, brothers who worshiped each other. Wu Sangui also said that he would rely on Zheng Chengzong's words in the future. As for what agreement they reached,

It’s not clear yet.” Adams was reporting when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Kui Yi shouted impatiently.

"Mr. Adams' deputy said he has important matters." The secretary's voice came from the door.

"Sorry, wait a moment." Adams frowned, apologized to Kui Yi, and walked out of Kui Yi's office.

Kuiyi leaned back on the comfortable leather seat, thinking about Wu Sangui and Zheng Chengzong. If these two people unite, they will be the most direct and fatal threat to him. But there are tens of thousands of Ming people in Java, and many of them are

Sitting in the position of an official, it is not easy to touch Zheng Chengzong.

Adams had been out for less than five minutes when he hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

"Your Majesty the Governor, Zheng Chengzong's people took away a batch of arms from Wu Sangui's ship." Adams spoke very quickly, and after finishing speaking, he swallowed hard.

"Arms?" Kui Yi immediately jumped up from the leather seat, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Yes, insiders revealed that there are a hundred muskets produced in England, and there is also a batch of ammunition."

"When did it happen?"

"Just now!" Adams' voice was hoarse.

"Damn it!" Kui hit the table and the ink bottle on it was knocked over. Black ink dripped from the desk to the floor.

"They must be stopped, otherwise the Ming people will have their own weapons." Adams roared hoarsely.

"There are more than 30,000 Ming people in Java, and many of them are in key departments. Many of them are low-level officials. If Zheng Chengzong and Wu Sangui join forces, we will probably not be opponents." When life and death were at stake, Kui Yi rarely maintained a share.

calm.

Adams stopped talking. As an intelligence officer, he certainly knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants in Java. Just now, he said such words out of urgency.

"Could it be that the English want to attack us?"

"It is very possible that Wu Sangui is now serving the English. He also persuaded me to follow him to India and become an executive of the East India Company." Kui Yi La Mo paces around the office like a donkey.

.

"You're right Adams, we must stop the Ming Dynasty merchants now. What method can be used? They have ten times the number of us!" Kuiyi felt a little isolated and helpless.

Thinking of the huge fleet that I brought with me back then, I felt like a tiger has fallen into a deadlock.

"Ten times! Ten times!" Adams' brain was also running rapidly. He walked to the window and looked at Java City under construction.
