"ah!?"

But this news was like a bolt from the blue to the Cossacks.

After their group of Cossacks worked for Black Flag, Zhu Youjian thought that they could recruit more Cossacks for Black Flag, so he gave two official positions.

Later they did recruit some Cossacks, and they also sent out troops to serve as normal.

But in terms of combat, it can only be said that there is no cowardice. After all, Black Flag mostly fights with the wind, and they have no place to show their will to fight.

As for a group of homesteaders, they had no land and property and could only cultivate their own fields in the wilderness. Unless they were recruited by the Tsarist Russian Governor of Siberia, they would be impoverished.

He transformed into a noble knight with a large land in the black flag.

After struggling for several years, the wealthy and luxurious life has just begun!

The old farmer didn't have much ambition. He had originally thought of using his position as a cow to eat and wait until death. After hearing the order, Moros, who was already kneeling, became weak and collapsed.

The good days are gone in a blink of an eye!

You have to go two to three thousand miles north! Run to Lake Baikal!

"Serve, how many years have you served?"

"At least three years."

"Ah! Ah!"

Not daring to cry in front of the person delivering the decree, Moros could only force a smile with a ferocious face.

Upon seeing this, the Nianganwei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "General, after waiting for many years, he has finally been reused! There was only one general in the Grassland Trading City, but now there are two generals. Now you can go

Maybe there will be one more general."

"Um!"

Moros was in deep pain and did not dare to express it openly.

So does Wang Chengen.

Wang Eunuch felt bitter in his heart.

It's not easy to be a king eunuch.

After several years of hard work, Emperor Longwu finally no longer feared the former eunuchs and eunuchs who would disrupt the government. Based on his own abilities, and at the same time when his son and his own safety were threatened, he relaxed many restrictions on Wang Chengen and abandoned Wang Chengen.

There was a lot of suspicion.

It also made Wang Chengen completely pushed to the forefront.

The impeachment of courtiers, and the rebellion of those high-ranking officials who had been getting along well before.

There are a lot of jokes slandering him on the market.

It has also affected some of the factories under his command, and the entire industrial zone has become a member of the royal eunuch.

The real Wang Eun's party members in the court were also at loggerheads with Donglin. It all relied on Wang Eun's own power to lie in the industrial zone, in commerce, and in making money for Longwu. Otherwise, the newly-started New Eunuch Party would have been defeated by the Donglin Party.

It was torn into pieces.

Donglin Zhongzheng has also been cruel recently.

Wang Eun is restless, and everyone knows that the industrial zone is an important asset of the country, and the national economy is inseparable from it.

Dong Lin was also waiting to kill Wang Chengen and then quickly take over.

So while constantly trying to divide control over many factories in the industrial zone, they went to Wang Chengen's relatives in his hometown.

The people of Ming Dynasty may know something, so Wang Chengen will not become a public enemy.

But the relatives, who had always consciously avoided suspicion and lived a stable life, couldn't bear it.

"If it doesn't work, move here. Move here."

These things were really frustrating and Wang Chengen had no good solution. He could only deal with them like this and continue to suffer.

Staying in an industrial area to avoid the wind.

I was thinking about his maritime affairs along the way.

Previously, the previous Zhezi asked Zhu Youjian to agree to the Black Flag Navy cooperating with the armed Nanyang fleet he dispatched at sea. This matter is already being handled.

The message was conveyed quickly by sea and land by horse.

The first step was completed, so the documents and plans that Wang Chengen wanted to use to establish a new maritime order were on their way to Beijing.

"What did the Zheng family say today? Is there any news from Shanghai County?"

The tea was tasteless, and he could only ask about maritime affairs or about his Majesty Zhu Youjian. Only then did Wang Chengen feel that his mind was settled.

"Indeed, it is just a small matter, sir."

"It's okay anyway, let's talk and listen."

The servant hurriedly said: "Some of the animals on the ship died. After checking, it was not someone who had drugged them. They were purchased in Shanghai County. The Zheng family blocked them a few times on the way, but when it was time to buy, there was nothing like the same thing when they entered the sea as before on the river.

Ship blocking"

Just as he was talking, someone outside shouted: "Master! Urgent news from the sea!"

"Send it in, bring it in!"

Wang Chengent stood up suddenly and went to greet him as he spoke.

He grabbed the letter, pulled it out and spread it out!

The first naval battle of the Nanyang advance fleet was over, and it came faster than Wang Chengen thought.

The fleet followed the Yangtze River all the way to the seaport, docked in Shanghai for final repairs, and then set out to sea.

Also following Wang Chengen's order, the fleet's first goal after setting out to sea was not to go straight to Nanyang, Taiwan Island, Guangzhou, etc., but to go to Hangzhou first and dock in the waters of Hangzhou Bay.

Just to wait for Black Flag Navy's reaction.

It was also to complete the ‘big show’ that Wang Chengen had envisioned.

But we have to say that Ningbo in the south of Hangzhou Bay is also Zhoushan Island near an official export port of Ming Dynasty.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, when the coastal defense was weak, Zhoushan Island next to Ningbo Port was directly the base camp, transit place and smuggling place for pirates and Japanese pirates.

The coastal defense at the back was stabilized and the situation was slightly better.

But Zhoushan is still closely related to smuggling and piracy.

Nowadays, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are corrupt, the government is cumbersome and decadent, and the Zheng family, the largest official pirate, is operating unscrupulously on the sea. Naturally, the pirates on Zhoushan Island have revived and become rampant.

But ordinary pirates would not have the guts to attack a fleet consisting of three giant ships over 70 meters long and nearly a hundred other large and small ships.

Only the Zheng family can have such courage.

The Nanyang advance fleet put great pressure on the Zheng family.

For this reason, Zheng Zhilong had firmly sided with Donglin and strongly demanded a crackdown on the eunuch Wang Chengen. At the same time, he was particularly covetous of the Bao Shipyard and the skills of its craftsmen.

I hope to turn this so-called Nanyang Fleet into a business that the Zheng family, Donglin, and other wealthy families can take over.

So when the Nanyang Advance Fleet was stationed outside Hangzhou Bay, one morning, more than 300 ships, most of which were small boats, and a pirate coalition of fast ships swarmed in from the nearby waters, and launched a semi-suicidal attack on the advance fleet one after another.

Impact!

'. The cannons were fired until the water was not cold. Three red-coated cannons destroyed themselves and five were destroyed. The thieves were fierce and boarded the ship to attack. The guards on the ships had many casualties in the battle. The situation was critical. Wang Weiren, the general manager, ordered that they be carried out.

They fired up the cannon and used the fire dragon to burn the ship. The battle ended at dusk when the Ningbo navy came to help and the bandit army retreated.

Wang Chengen looked at the urgent letter, his eyes almost splitting.

After this battle, the main large ships in the advance fleet were saved, but there were twenty ships that were damaged and needed major repairs! One of the treasure ships was hit by a fire ship! It also needed major repairs!

This is all his hard work!

The casualties were not small.

In this incident, more than half of the advance fleet was completely destroyed and had to be paralyzed in Hangzhou Bay for at least a month!

"Study, learn to be talented!"

Wang Chengen was trembling with anger and waved his servant over: "Let's go explore again, send a fast ship to contact the Black Flag Navy, and then buy ships from Shanghai County, Hangzhou Bay, and Ningbo Prefecture! And then raise funds!"

The sea must be controlled as soon as possible! A new maritime order must be established!

I had a cardiovascular check-up, and the doctor said there was nothing serious. The symptoms were probably just a small outbreak of disordered work and rest for a long time. I have been controlling my time very well these past few days and I feel almost recovered. Tomorrow I will fulfill my promise and I will update 10,000 words a day~
