403. Blacksmith, I Want Blacksmith [1/2]
A creature like a man is actually fake! Although I am a man, I still have to reveal some of the bad habits of men here. Take this sentence "It's not a problem of money" for example!
Men usually say in some cases that "it's not a problem of money", but once this sentence is said, 90% of them are planning to cheat people, and 10% are slapping the swollen face and pretending to be fat.
For example, a man was planning to buy a TV in the store with 5,000 yuan in his pocket. He looked at one and asked for the price. It was 7,000 yuan! The sweat suddenly flowed all over the floor. At this time, the beautiful salesperson was still constantly introducing how good the function of the TV in 7,000 yuan was. It was absolutely worth the price.
The man had to... sneer, and then said to the salesperson: "Your TV does not have this function, nor does it have that function. No, the screen is not good-looking, and the buttons are not fashionable... I don't want this TV anymore, it's not a problem of money!"
There is another situation where a man falls in love with a woman and wants to get someone to bed, and the woman asks for him to ask for help. The man will say, "This is very difficult to deal with... This is not a matter of money!" While saying that, he deliberately swept the other person's chest with his eyes and made some hints.
In short, it is often a very evil problem that is not a problem of money.
Zheng Zhifeng was so angry that she heard the female soldiers’ comments that it was implicit rules to advance.
You should know that when women in the world face unspoken rules, they often have two completely different attitudes. One is that they hear that using unspoken rules can get ahead and immediately roll the bed sheet with the other party. The other is that they are very obsessed with cleanliness and want to vomit when they hear the three words unspoken rules.
Zheng Zhifeng is the second type! She was angry and wanted to do something to vent her anger, but Yi Yun is a prince with a noble status, so it seems inappropriate to hit the door directly. She was just a second-level archer, and she was not an opponent if she wanted to fight. So she stomped her feet suddenly: "Hmph, I want to find my elder brother to be fair, but I actually want to unspoken rules me. We are one of the eighteen storms in the wind and clouds. My elder brother must help me stand up."
Zheng Zhifeng ran to the Governor's Office.
--------------
At this time, Yi Yun was walking in the Governor's Mansion accompanied by Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao and others. Everyone was chatting while walking.
After more than a year of arrival, the Governor's Office has changed a lot. Zheng Zhilong is worthy of being a pirate who is rich enough to rival the country. He renovated the Governor's Office to be magnificent. It is like a palace. In fact, the predecessor of the Governor's Office was the Magong Fort built by the Dutch. It was originally a Western castle. After beautification, it looked like a work of art and was filled with geometric beauty.
The Governor's Mansion is full of precious ornaments, the most exquisite porcelain, the best calligraphy and paintings. The most beautiful Persian carpets, silver candlesticks, and gilded handrails...
When I walked to the lobby of the Governor's Office, I saw a volume of imperial edicts enshrined in the middle of the lobby. It turned out that this volume of imperial edict was the imperial edict that appointed Zheng Zhilong as the governor of Penghu. More than a year ago, Yi Yun asked Zhu Qingqing to stamp it with a radish seal and then sent it to him personally.
At that time, Zheng Zhilong was so happy that he was jumping up and down with the imperial edict. He showed it to others when he saw it. Later, he was worshipped in the lobby, so that every visitor could see that he had a volume of imperial edict. From this point of view, Zheng Zhilong was actually an official fan. He became a high-ranking official and was very happy.
Everyone walked into the lobby and sat in the guest seats. Yi Yun glanced at the imperial edict with a very high treatment and felt unhappy. This thing was worshipped higher than the seat he sat, which made Yi Yun feel very nervous. It was obviously an imperial edict made by his own manipulation, which should be lower than his status.
Seeing Yi Yun's eyes fall on the imperial edict, Zheng Zhilong was wrong and smiled and said, "This imperial edict is thanks to the prince. If you are not the one who makes a connection, the emperor will not like me."
Yi Yun flattered her mouth: "Okay, don't mention these trivial matters, let's talk about the Dutch and Liu Xiang. I heard Sister Feng talk about a few simple situations, but the detailed situation is still unclear. What is the state of the nearby sea now?"
Zheng Zhilong sighed bitterly and said, "The situation is really bad! Now the Dutch and Liu Xiang are not fighting with me, but fighting guerrillas with me, which makes our fleet unable to leave the port, which is very troublesome to deal with. As soon as there are fewer ships on board, he will be attacked by him. There are too many ships and he can't find him."
Yi Yun frowned and said, "Then... have you used any strategy? For example, sending a few elite soldiers out as bait to attract the Dutch or Liu Xiang to somewhere to encircle and ambush them. Or sending countless reconnaissance boats to find them all over the sea."
Zheng Zhilong sighed: "I have used all these strategies. People in the martial arts world call my brother Long Zhihu Yong. I can still use such basic strategies, but these strategies cannot be implemented, because many old brothers in my army were bribed by Liu Xiang. Such big rules will definitely not be hidden from Liu Xiang. As long as he gets the news, he will immediately escape and come back for a while, my actions will be completely useless. The sea is vast and he can hide everywhere, but I must guard my base. This is really atrocity... I have never encountered such a thing when I was a pirate before, alas!"
Isn’t this nonsense? In the past, you didn’t have a stronghold when you were a pirate, so you could go wherever you wanted. Now that you have the status of the governor of Penghu, you can’t run around as you wish. This is called gain and loss.
"What's going on with this Liu Xiang?" Yi Yun couldn't help but say strangely.
"He is one of our eighteen dynasties!" Zheng Zhilong sighed: "I used to dominate the sea together, but... he hated the court very much. He heard that I accepted the amnesty, but he refused to come together. Instead, he regarded me as an enemy and helped the Dutch deal with me. Many soldiers in my army colluded with Liu Xiang... But these soldiers were all veterans who had been with me for many years. I really can't find out who was secretly sending messages to Liu Xiang."
"This is really troublesome!" Yi Yun frowned.
"It's really troublesome!" Zheng Zhilong spread his hands: "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, this is the most difficult situation. As long as my fleet moves, Liu Xiang will know, but I can't figure out where his fleet is. Now my ships dare not sail... It's not a solution to stay on Magong Island like this, and they always need supplies."
Yi Yun put his fingers on the table, tapped them gently, and began to think about it. He thought of several strategies in succession, but they were all the same, such as sending troops to lure the enemy into appearance, opening his pockets in a certain strait, waiting for the enemy to fall into a trap, but as soon as these ideas came out, he denied them himself. In the case of intelligence leaks, any strategy would be useless.
"Governor Zheng!" Yi Yun said seriously: "Under the current situation, I think... your fleet is basically useless. If you want to catch the enemy's tail, the only way is to... send a fleet that has nothing to do with your Fengyun Shibazhi to deal with the Dutch and Liu Xiang, use guerrillas to guerrillas and sneak attacks to sneak attacks. In this way, the news will not leak and offset the enemy's darkness and lightness."
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly: "In this Southeast Sea, except for my fleet of Fengyun Shibazhi, who else can fight against the Dutch and Liu Xiang?"
"I!" Yi Yun pointed to his nose: "At that time, Governor Zheng helped the court, drove away the Dutch invaders and recovered the Penghu Islands, it is time for the court's warm sunshine to shine on you."
"Your fleet, yours?" Zheng Zhilong was stunned. His head began to run rapidly, and he made a real comparison. Currently, Yi Yun has about 30 large warships, and each warship has dozens of professional artillery soldiers. In total, there are about seven or eight hundred artillery soldiers. In terms of firepower, it is very powerful.
But the Dutch and Liu Xiang are not bad. This time the Dutch sent all the Far East Fleet, including eleven Gallion sailing ships, plus Putmans' flagship, that is, twelve ships. These twelve ships alone have 600 artillery soldiers, and Liu Xiang also has fifty large warships. The artillery on these ships also has more than a hundred. Judging from the number of artillery soldiers, it should be considered to be comparable.
However... the Dutch are skilled in naval battles and are skilled in using artillery. Although they are both second-level, the female artillery under Yi Yun is definitely worse than the Dutch artillery. Moreover, artillery warfare not only has more than artillery, but also depends on the strength of the ship and its ability to withstand artillery.
There were twelve Dutch sailboats in the Dutch fleet, Yiyun only had one dragon boat. The defense of the two Dutch sailboats was comparable to that of the Dutch. The rest were Spanish sailboats, Portuguese sailboats and British sailboats. The following types of ships were much worse than Dutch sailboats, and they were not as good as the sailing speed and vertical solidity. If they faced the bomb head-on, Yiyun's fleet would definitely suffer a loss.
Although Zheng Zhilong also learned from the information that Yi Yun has more than a thousand third-level soldiers. If a jumping gang battle occurs, the Dutch will definitely lose a big loss, but it is not so easy to jump gang. The Dutch sailing ship has a high speed, and it is really whimsical to jump onto the other side's ship. The main thing is to use artillery battles to determine the outcome.
Zheng Zhilong analyzed for a long time, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Prince, I appreciate your kindness, but if you let your fleet deal with the Dutch and Liu Xiang alone, I'm really worried. If you have something to do with you... it's not a joke. I would rather huddle in the base area to see how long the Dutch and Liu Xiang can wander outside."
"Why don't you have confidence in me?" Yi Yun laughed: "As long as you give me something, I promise to beat the Dutch back to Laolao's house."
"Oh? What does the prince want? Just speak!" Zheng Zhilong patted his chest and said.
