Shi Lang finally sold the whale meat in his hand, which was more than 200,000 kilograms of whale meat. The price was actually pretty good, almost 50% higher than the price offered by Chen Zilong. It should be said that the price offered by Wang Zhaoling was fair. But for some reason, he didn't sell it to Zhang Xianzhong in person, and always felt a little unsatisfied.

For whaling, practice makes perfect. The brothers under his command are getting more and more skillful, and they can catch three whales a day when they are good. Wang Zhaoling clearly stated that he will charge as much as the whale meat, and will not buy it at a lower price.[]

Shi Lang is preparing to rest on the boat for one night, and then start a new round of fishing tomorrow.

It was dusk, and the sunset had already sunset into the distant mountains. The sunset in the sky changed into magical colors, from bright to blood red, and finally the red gradually disappeared, while the gray became thicker and thicker, until the sky in the distance became more and more blurry, and the night finally came.

Lights were lit on the boat. Shi Lang had only 20 ships who came to Luzon this time. All the ships were lit on the lights. The lights were reflected in the sea, sparkling, and there was a unique view. Unfortunately, Luzon was still in the midst of war. Shi Lang thought that it was a bit unsuitable for him to stay here.

Shi Lang was thinking about it, but Zhang Xianzhong sent someone to invite Shi Lang to the "King of the Palace". The person sent to invite him was nothing but Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son Zhang Dingguo. Shi Lang followed Zhang Dingguo to the temporary palace of "King of Han" Zhang Xianzhong with excitement and nervousness.

Zhang Xianzhong was still wearing gauze on his head and sat on a chair. Although he seemed to be seriously injured, he was not seriously injured.

Shi Langjing and Zhang Xianzhong are a hero, and now he is the biggest buyer of his whale meat. He also expects Zhang Xianzhong to increase the price of his whale meat by then, so he is very respectful:

"Go to Shi Lang to pay homage to the king!"

Zhang Xianzhong quickly comforted him and said:

"General Shi Lang, it's really powerful. Please get up quickly! Please sit down!"

Although Zhang Xianzhong was just the king he had given him, he was also the King of Grass Head after all. Moreover, this King of Grass Head was rampant for several provinces back then and was considered a well-known figure. Zhang Xianzhong was so polite to him. Could it be that he was just for the whale meat? Could it be that he was deliberately sarcastic and was ready to bargain with him? Shi Lang was obviously a little flattered, and was worried that Zhang Xianzhong would not like him. Therefore, although he sat down, he only touched half of his butt on the chair, which seemed a little scared.

"The king is asking to come down, I wonder what orders are there?"

Zhang Xianzhong's injury recovered very quickly. Although his head still hurts slightly, when he speaks, the pain is not so easy to relieve. However, Zhang Xianzhong is very human and can still bear this pain. When he sees Shi Lang, the wound doesn't hurt much, but just said with a kind look:

"General Shi Lang, I have heard of the name of the general for a long time, so I specially invited the general to come over. Of course, I have something to discuss. I heard that General is a powerful general in naval warfare, but I don't know how to change my career in fishing. The general fishing and sells fish to us so that we can eat big fish and meat. I have thanked General Shi Lang here. However, although I am interested in fishing, I am more interested in General Shi Lang. Isn't it a pity that the general is wasting fishing? Why not say to your Emperor Chongzhen for the general, stop fishing, just do it with me! Let me defeat this Luzon with me, and share the blessings and difficulties with me, how about it?"

Shi Lang was very surprised at Zhang Xianzhong's invitation, thinking that we were almost the same as you, and they were all among bandits. Later, we finally washed our feet and went ashore, and transformed from a pirate to become a member of the Ming Navy. Although we are now ordered to fish, we are more orthodox officials in the court. Although we cannot make achievements in naval battles, it is no matter how you say it is the orthodox Ming Dynasty. It is hard to say whether Zhang Xianzhong can occupy Luzon and become king! Even if Zhang Xianzhong became the king of Luzon, it is still one in the sky and one underground compared to the Ming Dynasty. Can that be compared? Thinking of this festival, Shi Lang hurriedly refuted:

"The king has a lot of eyes on Shi. He respects Shi. He is incompetent and does not dare to take it. Shi was originally a reckless man, and he is very kind to the emperor and independently commands the fishing corps under his command. He has also had a lot of experience in the past few days. Shi originally thought that he would go out to sea tomorrow and catch more fish and shrimps. One would serve the emperor, and the other would be considered as raising food for the king. Shi did not dare to betray the emperor, and at the same time Shi also thought that if Shi was a seller and seek honor, the king would definitely look down on me, Shi. Therefore, please forgive Shi and not dare to accept the order."

Zhang Xianzhong didn't care when he heard Shi Lang say this, but he just smiled, but his smile was obviously affected by the pain, and he looked a little bit sarcastic. In Shi Lang's eyes, this murderous devil smiled a bit weird. After comparing Zhang Xianzhong and Zheng Zhilong, I have to say that Zheng Zhilong is more charming. If he had been with this king who smiled a little sneer all year round, he would probably not be able to sleep peacefully!

Zhang Xianzhong expressed kindness with his unique smile. Of course, he could not know that his smile was very different from usual. Although kindness was given a little, coldness was given more. Zhang Xianzhong didn't care about that much, but just said to himself:

"General Shi Lang, you don't have to worry about the Emperor Ming Dynasty! I also know that you have any worries, but it doesn't matter. I came up with a good idea. I borrowed it from the Emperor Ming Dynasty. It's okay to borrow it! In the Ming Dynasty, you were on my pirate ship by Zhang Xianzhong. In fact, you are also a loyal minister of the Emperor Ming Dynasty. If you make a contribution to this, the Emperor Ming Dynasty will also admit the credit. Once you conquer Luzon, if General Shi Lang still wants to go back to be a minister of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, I, Zhang Xianzhong, will never obstruct me. Of course, if General Shi Lang was willing to stay at that time, then I, Zhang Xianzhong, would have no choice. How about it? Can General Shi Lang accept my proposal?"

After hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Shi Lang felt that this idea was simply incredible and hard to believe. Of course, if this method works, well, it is quite attractive! Think about how great the future of fishing can be, it is better to make achievements and make a name for the world in war. A man should not make a fortune and leave a name in history to live up to his life. Shi Lang's inner conflicts, and he didn't know whether Zhang Xianzhong's words were fooling him. Once he got on Zhang Xianzhong's pirate ship, if he did not leave a way out, he might be a mistake and a mistake would lead to eternal regret. He didn't know how to answer the conflict in his heart, but hesitated:

"In the next---------"

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong knew that Shi Lang was already moved. People said that Shi Lang was eager to be utilitarian, which was indeed good. However, this person still hesitated in his heart and continued:

"General Shi Lang, let me tell you, the Ming Dynasty once had an agreement with me. The Ming Dynasty did not fulfill this agreement for some reasons, and it was said that it was a loss to me, Zhang Xianzhong. Therefore, if I borrowed you, General Shi Lang from the Ming Dynasty, it would not be difficult! If you are worried, I, Zhang Xianzhong, go to ask the Ming Dynasty for an imperial edict for you. With the Ming Dynasty's imperial edict, it is justified. Although this imperial edict is not necessarily made public, at least you, General Shi Lang, have a clear mind, right?"

Zhang Xianzhong has the King of Fu as a hostage, and the Ming Dynasty did express his intention to help Zhang Xianzhong seize Luzon. Now Luzon is in chaos and even has a trend of being a three-way match. Of course, he has to follow the theory of the Ming Dynasty. A King of Fu in his hand is an important bargaining chip. I think the Emperor and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty cannot ignore King of Fu. In addition, they have their own reasons and let King of Fu help do the job of borrowing people. Maybe it is really a trivial matter - isn't it just borrowing a fisherman!

Although Shi Lang was in a conflict, his idea of ​​making achievements in the end had the upper hand. He actually accepted Zhang Xianzhong's kind invitation. The two even talked about how to establish a navy. Shi Lang then said goodbye. After Zhang Xianzhong negotiated with the Ming Emperor and obtained the agreement of the Ming Emperor, Shi Lang could officially join the "Han Kingdom". Before that, Shi Lang continued to fish, but Shi Lang decided to focus on whaling. It was always good to provide more whaling oil to Director Wang. Besides, the taste of whaling meat is really good. For the sake of "Han Kingdom", he also had to catch more whaling.

－－－－－－－

However, Chongzhen received a letter from Fei Ge. This time, what was sent was King Fu's request to lent Shi Lang for Zhang Xianzhong. King Fu complained about the bad situation in Luzon. Of course, Chongzhen knew his intention and understood the mood of the emperor. After seeing this letter from the pigeon, he certainly felt unhappy.

According to the old rules, Wang Chengen and the princess came over and discussed together.

Wang Chengen said:

"The First Fishery Corps has just started whaling. Now, the first batch of whale oil has been used for lubrication of various transmissions. They are much faster than the Second Fishery Corps. So far, the Second Fishery Corps has only caught four whales. They are not as good as not knowing the goods, but they are afraid of comparing goods! Shi Lang is a talented person, and he has a good team to lead troops and fishing. However, King Fu borrowed people for Zhang Xianzhong. Given the situation in Luzon, he should really lend him."

When the princess heard this, she smiled and said:

"I want to say that Shi Lang is not a minister of the Ming Dynasty. In history, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Since it is fate, it is better to lend it to Zhang Xianzhong. However, as the saying goes, if the gentleman borrows books, tiger pigs, and Shi Lang lends them to Zhang Xianzhong, it will definitely be gone forever. It is better to just go with the flow and lend Shi Lang's original subordinates to Zhang Xianzhong. However, Zhang Xianzhong has to pay a deposit. If the person cannot come back, the deposit cannot be refunded. Also, whale oil must be sold to us."

Princess always have the word "benefit". Of course, people can borrow it, but they cannot suffer losses.

Chongzhen shook his head and had to smile bitterly:

"People always say that when you make a mistake, you often have to use another mistake to correct the previous mistake. Perhaps, letting Shi Lang fish is a mistake, and lending it to Zhang Xianzhong is another mistake. What I worry about is that once Shi Lang goes, it will likely become the "overseas corps" that will cause us a headache in the future. Then, it will be troublesome if the Ming Dynasty cannot get rid of it."

Wang Chengen laughed and comforted:

"Don't worry about this! Even if the overseas corps are powerful in later generations, they still can't play with China. I don't believe it anymore. Shi Lang can't fly to the sky!"

At this point, Chongzhen had no choice but to nod and said:
Chapter completed!
