Seeing Zheng Zhilong getting angry, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but feel cruel and said loudly: "Brother, don't worry, no matter how powerful Yang Feng is, he is not as good as three heads and six arms. We brothers have been afraid of who will come in the sea for so many years. This time, Yang Feng doesn't come. If we come, we must let him know how powerful our brother is!"

"Yes... the third leader is right. Even if Yang Feng is powerful, he can dominate the land. We are not a small character. Thousands of warships and tens of thousands of brothers are not for nothing. Even if we can't beat us, we can retreat to Xiaoliuqiu. Could it be that Yang Feng can still rush to chase him with wings?"

"Brother Zheng Xing is right, we are not afraid of Yang Feng!"

Looking at the people in the hall saying harsh words in unison, Zheng Zhilong's heart was as clear as a mirror. Although these people were not afraid of Yang Feng, they could hear from the inside and outside that they had already thought of escaping from the sea.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong felt a little angry. Why didn’t these people understand that although they had a base in Bengang (now Beigang) in Xiaoliuqiu (Taiwan), where Xiaoliuqiu is? Although it has a certain scale after several years of operation, it is still full of Shengfans. Moreover, the Dutch and the Spanish also set up bases and ports there. How easy is it for them to develop there with peace of mind? What’s more, even if Xiaoliuqiu develops well, how can he be as rich as the Ming Dynasty? He finally conquered Fuzhou, so how could he be willing to hand it over?

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong's face gradually darkened, and his originally fair face became extremely ugly.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's face getting ugly, the originally noisy sound in the hall slowly calmed down, and many people looked at Zheng Zhilong with nervous expressions.

Although Zheng Zhilong is young, he is very good at doing things. He is cruel to the outside world, is extremely generous to his brothers, and is very good at attracting people. Therefore, he was able to accept all Li Dan's forces in just two years after Li Dan's death, and everyone was convinced by him. Now seeing Zheng Zhilong get angry, everyone can't help but feel a little panicked.

After a long time, Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly: "Everyone said, we have worked so hard to run around, harass Fujian and attacked Guangdong, and it took more than half a year to conquer Fuzhou. What is the purpose of?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and the last young man with a short and extremely strong figure whispered: "Chief, you said that it is to let our brothers have a nest on the shore!"

"You still remember!" Zheng Zhilong sneered, "I thought you all forgot."

He asked again: "What is our biggest wish for being a pirate?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, he replied: "Our greatest wish is to have a nest on the shore, marry several wives and give birth to a lot of little kids, so as to pass on the incense. But if we spend all day at sea, can we marry a wives? Some of you may say that we have a base in Xiaoliuqiu, where can we settle down.

But don't forget that Xiao Liuqiu is too small after all, and the Dutch and Spanish have established bases there. If we are accidentally settled there, the foundation we settled there will be destroyed. And don't forget that if we are driven out of the Ming Dynasty, it will be ten times more difficult than today if we want to fight again in the future. Do you understand?"

Zheng Zhilong's voice echoed in the hall, and everyone's expressions gradually became heavier. Although they all claimed to be heroes who licked blood on the knife, people were all living together animals, so they naturally wanted to have a stable home. Naturally, this "home" was nothing better than being placed in the broad and rich Ming Dynasty. This is one of the reasons why Zheng Zhilong and the others spent more than half a year to build a piece of land in Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong ignored everyone's faces and continued, "What are we trying to do before? Isn't it to be able to build a piece of territory? Now that we have a territory, why are you scared?"

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's second brother Zheng Zhihu spoke: "Brother, we all understand your efforts. You want your brothers to have a stable nest. But the Ming Dynasty has millions of troops. Even if we can defeat this one today and that one tomorrow, there are too many troops in the court. When will we fight last?"

Zheng Zhihu's words were also what many people thought. Although the Ming Empire has begun to decline now, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Zheng Zhilong and others claim to have tens of thousands of brothers, there are only more than 10,000 people who can fight land wars. If they really anger the Ming court and make the court fight to the death with them desperately, Zheng Zhilong and others will not be able to defeat them no matter what.

"I didn't expect our second brother to use his brain!" Zheng Zhilong suddenly laughed. His second brother Zheng Zhihu has always been known for his bravery, but he didn't expect that he would have an accident today.

Zheng Zhilong has fair skin and handsome appearance. After such a smile, the pressure that brought to everyone just now disappeared. Many people looked at each other and felt a little scared.

After pondering for a while, Zheng Zhilong said, "Actually, I don't know that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, especially since I heard that the current emperor reused Jiangning Bo Yang Feng, and asked Jiangning Bo to open a business called the Ming Dynasty Royal Trading Company. He often sells countless good things from overseas Obarrow, and the money he earns every year is simply a waste of money. Recently, the Beijing Camp was rebuilt in the capital, which is quite as magnificent as the Lord of Revival, but we are not completely unable to fight back. Let's talk about our biggest advantage?"

"It's more than anything else, of course it's our warship!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Yes, it's our warship!" Zheng Zhilong said appreciatively: "Our biggest thing is to fight and leave as much as we want. The navy in the court has long been decayed and does not pose any threat to us at all. This is our greatest reliance. Although the court had proposed amnesty to us before, the conditions they offered were too bad at that time, so I ignored them. When we fight a few more beautiful battles and shock the court, our position in the court will be higher. When the conditions are naturally allowed to be opened, we will each of our brothers and each of us is a general to come and go to the court. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!"

Zheng Zhilong's words made everyone excited. Although they always defame the Ming Dynasty court very lowly on weekdays, it was just a mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying that the grapes were sour. The orthodox status of the Ming Dynasty court has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years. If they had the opportunity to become a general of the Ming Dynasty, they would not refuse.

"Bang!"

Zheng Zhihu stood up at a row of tables and said loudly: "Brother, just say, what should we brothers do? Can we all become generals as long as we can kill that Jiangning uncle and our brothers?"

"Kill Jiang Ning Bo?" Zheng Zhilong smiled and shook his head, "If Jiang Ning Bo was so easy to kill, those people would have taken action long ago. Why wait until now? Isn't Jiang Ning Bo trying to regain Fuzhou? Let's give them a surprise..."

In the tent of the Jiangning Army camp in Xiamen, the generals of the Jiangning Army gathered.

Yang Feng looked at the generals standing in front of him and smiled and said, "Everyone, we have been in Xiamen for seven or eight days, and everyone has been resting."

The generals burst into laughter and said, "Your Majesty, the last general has already been corrected, so I'll wait for your order."

"That's good!" Yang Feng nodded, "We are not here to watch the fun. Since we have enough rest, we will do our business."

Speaking of this, Yang Feng's expression began to become solemn, and he heard him say in a deep voice: "Now I order!"

"Crash!"

The generals who were originally sitting on both sides of Yang Feng stood up and stood up with their hands vertically looking ahead.

"Geng Bingyi!"

Geng Bingyi stood upright and shouted: "The last one is here!"

"You lead the first battalion, the first battalion of artillery and the second cavalry to go out to Putian and to Fuzhou. After arriving in Fuzhou, you will first attack the enemy in Fuzhou. It is best if you can attack and capture Fuzhou. If you cannot capture Fuzhou, don't worry. Send someone to report to me to learn about it. Do you understand?"

"I will obey the order!" Geng Bingyi responded loudly.

"Huang Jiye!"

"Don't be here!"

Yang Feng looked at Huang Jiye and then said, "The first battalion attacked Fuzhou, and Putian became the rear of the first battalion. In order to ensure the safety of the first battalion, you will lead the second battalion to Putian and be sure to ensure the safety of the first battalion."

Huang Jiye shouted: "I will obey the order!"

Chu Maoguang, who had not been read, stood up and asked unwillingly, "Brother, what about you, can you just stay in Xiamen to watch the fun?"

Yang Feng shook his head and said, "Xiamen is a major town in Fujian. Recently, Lu Guangbiao is about to rebuild the navy in Xiamen. He must leave heavy troops to defend. Otherwise, if Zheng Zhilong sits in his fleet and leads a large army to attack Xiamen from the sea, what can we use to resist?"

"Attack from the sea again!"

The generals only felt a headache, and Geng Bingyi couldn't help but say with a headache: "Why does the general feel that fighting in Fujian is so headache? If you are guarding this and that, you will be exhausted to death."

Looking at the confused generals, Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The Ming Dynasty's understanding of the sea is still too shallow. Since ancient times, rulers of all dynasties have believed that China is vast and has everything, while the sea is full of storms and rains, which is too dangerous, so they are always used to huddling on the mainland and dare not look up to understand the outside world.

In addition, the fuel was fueled by a group of vested interest groups, so the Ming Dynasty has been following the strategy of forbidding the sea since its founding. Even if Zheng He's voyage to the West is a glorious moment. Now it is natural for them to encounter enemies who have fought from the sea and become at a loss.

"You guys, I still have too little understanding of the sea. It seems that I will tell you what is on the sea next?"

Yang Feng, who felt it was necessary to popularize geographical knowledge for his generals, took out a large map from behind and began to make up for these people...

On October 12, the sixth year of Tianqi, Geng Bingyi led a total of 15,000 troops of horses, infantry, artillery, baggage, etc. to head towards Fuzhou. His mission was to take back Fuzhou occupied by Zheng Zhilong Group. He was also Huang Zhenye's Bu Er Battalion, who was with Geng Bingyi, and his mission was to station in Putian and not let anyone trample Geng Bingyi's retreat.

Yang Feng was in charge of Xiamen and urged Lu Guangbiao to seize the time to build a warship reconstruction naval force, because Yang Feng knew very well that it would not be possible to destroy the Zheng Zhilong Group by relying on the army alone.

Who is Zheng Zhilong? They are the pirates from the Ming Dynasty, Fusang and Nanyang. Even if they suffer defeat on land, they will only jump into the sea, and Yang Feng will not do anything to him.

Because of this, Yang Feng's order to Geng Bingyi was to regain Fuzhou, rather than destroy Zheng Zhilong.

However, as the work of rebuilding the navy began to be formed, new problems arose.

"What, we have too few craftsmen who can build ships to build multiple Dafu ships at the same time?"

Yang Feng looked at Lu Guangbiao in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Fujian is the land of navy, how could he not find a craftsman who can build ships?"

Lu Guangbiao smiled bitterly and said, "Bo Ye, it's not that he is incompetent, but that the navy of the court has been abandoned for a long time. Since there were no shipbuilding, the craftsmen's shipbuilding skills have almost been lost after several generations. There are too few old craftsmen who can build ships now. If there are drawings, it would be fine, but we can still build ships according to the drawings. But since Lord Liu burned all the drawings of the treasure ship and the information of the eunuchs of the Three Treasures to the West, we have lost even the drawings. It is really difficult to build a ship now."

The Lord Liu mentioned by Lu Guangbiao is Liu Daxia. This is a famous person who has experienced the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties. He is known to be upright and upright. His reputation in the Shilin was very powerful. It is rumored that Liu Daxia was also a firm fighter for the sea. He had a deep disgust for the sea. Later generations rumored that he burned the construction drawings of the largest ship in the world at that time, "Treasure Ship", and even all the information about Zheng He's voyage to the West was burned, which also made countless people in later generations beat their chests and stamp their feet and feel regretful.

Yang Feng originally sneered at this rumor because he didn't believe that there would be such stupid people in this world. But now he actually heard people from this era talk about this, so he couldn't help but believe it.

"What? The original rumors were actually true? Liu Daxia really burned all the drawings of the eunuch of the Three Treasures and the treasure ship?"

"Isn't that?" Lu Guangbiao smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. "That's already happened during the Hongzhi period. It's been hundreds of years. It's no point to mention him. Let's discuss how to build a ship as soon as possible."

Yang Feng suddenly asked, "No, if craftsmen could not build ships, who built the ships of those sea merchants? Where did their craftsmen come from?"

Lu Guangbiao said without hesitation: "Of course they are their own craftsmen."

Yang Feng asked: "Then can't we hire craftsmen from maritime merchants to work for us?"

"This is also something that the officials are puzzled by." Lu Guangbiao's face turned gloomy: "The officials have also asked, but for some reason, all the maritime merchants rejected the officials' proposal."
