"Your Excellency, you trust me so much?" Zheng Zhilong looked at Yu Zigao and said with a somewhat doubtful tone.

"Not so trusting." Yu Zigao leaned back and said: "This time when the Ming Dynasty sends troops, the first target is Hirado. All three islands must be taken down, so that the passage between Korea and the Japanese country can be opened up. Build here

Only after we have a base can we continuously send troops to Japan."

"So I will send someone to follow you this time, and if the negotiation is successful, it will be done; if the negotiation fails, then I will send people to kill you directly."

"Don't have any evil thoughts. You have also seen that you are no match for us. As for the person accompanying you, he is naturally prepared to sacrifice. The people of the Royal Navy are not afraid of sacrifice."

"But you have to tell these Japanese people to think carefully. If I am killed by you, I will bloodbath your three islands of Hirado, leaving no chicken or dog behind."

"You have to believe that I am qualified to say such things, and I am also qualified to turn these words into reality!"

Zheng Zhilong was silent and looked at Yu Zigao with some resentment.

Marshal, do you know that if you chat like this, you will have no friends? You are not following the routine at all. You should not be more generous at this time. Just say "Don't trust people you employ, and don't use people you doubt." Then I will say

Tears of gratitude?

In this way, both parties can complete the negotiation in a friendly and cordial atmosphere.

The others didn't expect that Yu Zigao would actually say that, so they all turned to look at him with strange expressions in their eyes and inexplicable expressions on their faces.

Zheng Zhilong said: "Commander, don't worry, I am also a member of the Ming Dynasty. Although there was a misunderstanding before, my heart is still towards the Ming Dynasty. If the negotiation fails, I will come back with you; if I die, I will also follow you."

Those who go will die together."

"This is best." Yu Zigao nodded and said, "Remember what you said, otherwise, I will make you unable to live or die."

Forget it, I don’t want to talk to you anymore, Zheng Zhilong said he was tired.

Fang Zhenghua on the side saw that the two of them had finished talking, and said directly at this time: "We can say something about this matter."

The group's eyes fell on Fang Zhenghua again.

Because he represents the palace and His Majesty, Fang Zhenghua has always been cautious in his words and deeds. He doesn't speak at all when nothing happens, and he behaves cautiously when something happens. For someone like today to take the initiative to speak,

He basically doesn’t do it,

"Before leaving the palace, His Majesty once said that if someone surrenders voluntarily, His Majesty is willing to promise high officials and generous salaries. So this time I can go with you to talk to the lord of Hirado Domain."

No one expected Fang Zhenghua to say such words, and everyone looked at him.

Yu Zigao shook his head directly and said: "No, Eunuch Fang, you can't go, it's too dangerous. You are not from the Royal Navy. If you suffer any losses, the Royal Navy will not be able to bear it. When the time comes, Your Majesty

If the blame goes down, there's nothing we can do."

"You Royal Navy people are not afraid, and our family is certainly not afraid." Fang Zhenghua disagreed, and said in a relaxed tone: "You all have sons and daughters, but ours is the only one who is alone.

It is most appropriate for our family to go there, after all, we are His Majesty’s slaves.”

Seeing that several other people were about to speak, Fang Zhenghua waved his hand and said, "Don't try to persuade me. Our family knows what we are doing. If it doesn't work, our family will die and we will be left alone without any parents or children to be sad."

"If you say that, I can't let you go." Yu Zigao stood up directly and said: "My father-in-law came out with us, and ended up with a dead end. This can't be tolerated. I would rather

I don't want to talk to them and just fight them directly, and I don't want my father-in-law to take this risk."

"If we go to fight, how many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will be killed or injured?" Fang Zhenghua took a step forward and said with burning eyes: "It is worth taking this risk for our family. As long as there are few soldiers of the Ming Dynasty killed or injured, our family's sacrifice will be worth it."

"No, I will never let you go." Yu Zigao said loudly: "Soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty died on the battlefield, which is also an honor. How can we let my father-in-law die for us?"

Zheng Zhilong next to him saw this scene, his face was helpless.

We are going to negotiate. Although the negotiation may fail, we may not necessarily die. It is more likely that the negotiation will succeed.

After all, in Hirado, in addition to the feudal lords of Japan, there were many Ming Dynasty people there. It used to be Li Dan's hometown. I inherited Li Dan's family business, and there were also people there.

In such a situation, even if the negotiation fails, you are not necessarily dead. And with your own existence, the possibility of successful negotiation is very, very high.

The two people started arguing, and Zhang Changzhong next to him suddenly spoke.

"Can you two let me say a word?" Zhang Changzhong stretched out his hand to interrupt the two of them. He looked at Yu Zigao on his left and Fang Zhenghua on his right.

"You say." The two nodded and agreed together.

"Well, I want to remind you two that even if we don't negotiate and fight directly, we won't be able to kill or injure many people, or I'm afraid there will be no damage at all." Zhang Changzhong said directly.

All of a sudden, there was no sound in the room. It could be said that you could hear a pin drop.

Several people looked very strange.

There is a good debate here, about sacrificing for the country, and then you tell me that I can’t sacrifice, and I can’t kill people. The atmosphere is very awkward, do you know?

However, no one refuted Zhang Changzong because everyone thought what he said made sense.

This time it is not a battle on the road, but an island capture. How many times have these people of the Royal Navy practiced capturing islands?

Artillery bombardment, rockets covering the beach, and then speedboat landing. With this set of procedures, there will basically be no casualties.

The enemies on the road had no way of resisting the firepower of the Ming fleet, and even escaping was impossible.

After one round of artillery fire passed, two more rounds of artillery fire were added, and finally the rockets washed the ground. Even if someone built some stronger fortifications on the island, it was of no use.

It was quiet for a while and no one spoke.

Because they really don't know how to continue the topic.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong next to him suddenly coughed twice and said: "My lords, I think we should not think so bad of things. If the negotiation is successful, don't we need to talk about this?"

Several people sat down together, but still didn't speak. They needed to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Schlaif, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I think what Zheng Zhilong said makes sense. Aren't we going to negotiate just because we are sure of success? So there is no need to say this."

At this time, the atmosphere finally relaxed.

Fang Zhenghua said: "That's right. If we go there, we can increase the level of trust and make them willing to surrender. If they don't surrender, it won't be too late for us to attack them again."

Yu Zigao on the side was helpless, glanced at Zheng Zhilong and said: "Eunuch Fang insists, so I won't say anything. But there is one thing I want to remind you. If Eunuch Fang has an accident, you should understand what will happen to you.

.Don’t think you can escape because the sea is so big. I tell you, you have no way to escape.”

"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Zheng Zhilong quickly agreed.

"Okay, let's get ready. When we arrive at Hirado, let's pay homage first and then fight." After that, Yu Zigao said: "It's rare to gather on this ship, so let's eat here today. I'll have someone prepare some good food.

meals.”

"Then I'll have your meal here." Schlaif said with a smile.

This time the anger was relieved.

While we were eating and drinking here, Zhu Youxiao was far away in Hangzhou city.

Ever since he had the idea of ​​coming to Zhejiang, Zhu Youxiao naturally rushed over without stopping.

The first stop in Zhejiang is naturally Hangzhou.

There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. After arriving this time, Zhu Youxiao began to play here.

Together with Concubine Yuan Guifei and Concubine Tian Guifei, Zhu Youxiao and the other two visited all the places of interest in Hangzhou.

A group of people have been walking by the West Lake.

As for boating on the West Lake, Zhu Youxiao had never thought about it. After all, water was a very dangerous thing for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could easily fall into the water and die easily after falling into the water.

Although there was very good security, Zhu Youxiao still chose not to go into the water. While walking on the shore, Zhu Youxiao told Yuan Guifei and the others the story of the White Snake.

Regardless of whether they had heard of it before or not, the two concubines were very supportive of it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "The air here is so good. I'm a little tired from walking. Find a place to rest and eat something."

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing next to him, quickly came up and said, "Your Majesty, there is a Louwailou not far away. It is a very famous restaurant. Do you want to try it?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Did you arrange it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "When I learned that Your Majesty was coming here yesterday, I had already found a place to cover the building outside the building. I checked everything inside and out.

There is no problem with the food, and our people are there now."

"If you don't go and eat, all your money will be wasted." Zhu Youxiao smiled and said in a casual tone: "Then go and try it, I just don't know how their fish is cooked?"

"I heard it's a specialty." Wei Zhongxian said quickly: "There is a famous dish called squirrel mandarin fish, and there is also a famous dish called West Lake vinegar fish. Your Majesty, you can try it."

"Really? Then go and have a look." Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned to Concubine Yuan Guifei and Concubine Tian and said, "Wei Zhongxian found a good restaurant. It is said that the cooking is excellent, especially the squirrel mandarin fish. Let's

Let’s have a taste together.”
