When Zhang Zhao was preparing to build a naval base at Suixi Port, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right assistant censor, the military affairs governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the governor of Guangdong, Xiong Wencan also found out that the pirate Great White Shark had bought twenty red cannons in Macau, and they were currently stationed in Macau and had not been transported away. Xiong Wencan urgently ordered his generals to come to discuss matters.

This news was not so much as being discovered by Xiong Wencan, but Zhang Zhao deliberately revealed it to him. Zhang Zhao tried to test Xiong Wencan's attitude towards pirates such as Zhao Hehai through Xiong Wencan's handling of twenty red cannons.

Since Xiong Wencan recruited Zheng Zhilong, he had a prosperous official career and accumulated huge wealth. Since then, he has been keen on recruiting pirates and thinking of his own use. In February of the fifth year of Chongzhen, after being transferred to the governor of Guangdong, he saw that Liu Xiang was causing trouble on the coast of Guangdong and wanted to use the same trick again. Liu Xiang pretended to agree. Xiong Wencan sent Guangdong's political participation Hong Yunzheng, deputy envoy Kang Chengzu, and general Xia Zhiben, and Zhang Yijie went to Liu Xiang's nest to announce the imperial edict, and the four of them were detained by Liu Xiang. This incident made Zhu Youjian furious and made Xiong Wencan commit crimes.

At that moment, Xiong Wencan saw that the generals were all here, twisted his beard and said slowly: "I heard that the pirate Great White Sharks had twenty red-clothed cannons were in Macau and had not been transported away yet. I wonder what you think?"

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, wondering what Xiong Wencan was going to do. Do they want to caress again? Liu Xiang put it on and immediately healed the scar and forgot the pain.

General Yao Benfu couldn't figure out Xiong Wencan's thoughts and stepped forward to tentatively: "Sir, as far as I know, this great white shark has never harmed the coast of Guangdong and Fujian since it was rampant in the past few years."

All the generals nodded and looked at Xiong Wencan, let’s see what Xiong Wencan’s attitude was.

Xiong Wencan pondered for a while, and said, "I don't know where this great white shark came from. What is he going to buy a red cannon now?"

Xiong Wencan's words made the generals even more confused. Deputy General Lu Tianhao was impatient. Seeing that Xiong Wencan was always unconscious, he shouted: "Sir, no matter what the purpose of his great white shark is, it is better to send troops to seize the cannons while he has not yet transported the cannons into the sea. This will be of great benefit to supplementing military resources!"

Xiong Wencan frowned slightly, and was very dissatisfied with Lu Tianhao's words. The governor had not yet set the tone. What bullshit suggestions did you make? He immediately asked: "What do you think of Deputy General Lu's proposal?"

When the other generals saw Xiong Wencan's slightly frowning, they suddenly realized that Xiong Wencan did not support military actions against the great white sharks.

Yao Benfu said: "The red-clothed cannon is very heavy. Apart from being set up outside the city to defend the city, its biggest use is to be used as heavy cannons on warships. This great white shark has no city to defend. The purchase of the red-clothed cannon must be used to deal with the red-haired ghost and Liu Xiang."

Yao Benfu's speaking skills are much higher than those of Lu Tianhao. Before Xiong Wencan set the tone, except for analyzing the facts themselves, no sentence involved the action plan, but his tendency was clearly expressed.

Sure enough, Xiong Wencan nodded and said, "Well, the great white shark wants to deal with Liu Xiang and the red-haired ghost. Liu Xiang is very hateful. He has detained envoys and regarded the court as nothing. Recently, he has been in contact with the red-haired ghost again, intending to be unfavorable to our navy! Liu Xiang will not be eliminated for a day, and the coast of Guangdong will not be peaceful for a day!"

Lu Tianhao finally understood the meaning of Xiong Wencan's intention to seek revenge on Liu Xiang, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Why would you rather urge the great white shark and let him deal with Liu Xiang?"

Xiong Wencan shook his head and said, "It's not right. Pirates have no faith. If there is another matter of detaining envoys, how can we explain to the emperor? Besides, Liu Xiang is powerful, so how can the great white shark have the strength to deal with Liu Xiang? Whether to recruit or not will have little impact on us. It's better to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and see how much trouble the great white shark can cause to Liu Xiang, and then make plans."

To put it bluntly, Xiong Wencan is preparing to do nothing, so of course he will not make mistakes. The generals are aware of the words wise, strategic planning, and far-sighted, which will benefit Xiong Wencan very much.

Xiong Wencan could ignore the red cannon, but Liu Xiang couldn't do it. His ship was repeatedly robbed. At the beginning, he suspected that Zheng Zhilong was striking the trouble, but there was no airtight wall in the world. Liu Xiang finally pointed the finger at the great white shark and surrounded Zhao Hehai with the Dutch. However, Zhao Hehai's whereabouts were mysterious and he escaped several times, leaving Liu Xiang helpless.

This time, Liu Xiang found out the details and learned that the artillery was bought by the Great White Shark, so he was about to send capable forces to follow him secretly, trying to find the Great White Shark's den and scramble for one go.

When Liu Xiang was staring at the twenty cannons in Macau, Zheng Cai, under Zheng Zhilong, also learned about this. Zheng Zhilong had the identity of sea guerrillas and could lay eyeliners in Guangzhou openly, so Zheng Cai knew more than Xiong Wencan and Liu Xiang.

There was also a big holiday between Zheng Cai and Lin Chunhong. At the beginning, Lin Chunhong broke Zheng Cai's plan to find Cui Yu'er, and Zheng Cai had been unable to swallow this. He sent several waves of troops to try to steal Cui Yu'er back. He didn't know that Lin Chunhong had strict control over Zhijiang. As soon as his troops showed up, they were either killed or caught. As a last resort, Zheng Cai had to give up his plan to find Cui Yu'er.

Zheng Cai was very curious about Lin Chunhong. What did a sesame and mung bean official who was so arrogant and domineering? Therefore, Zheng Cai specially sent his subordinates to investigate the matter, but he did not find out why. It was not until the establishment of the Guangzhou warehouse that Zheng Cai got his clue.

When the Guangzhou Warehouse was first established, the goods sold were ordinary, including cotton, green tea, brocade and other goods. As time went by, more and more raw silk sold in the warehouse, becoming the largest raw silk seller in Guangzhou. At the same time, Anping's raw silk sales declined severely.

This seriously affected Zheng Cai's profits, and of course he would not be allowed to sit idly by. Zheng Cai and Zheng Zhilong were keen on collecting protection fees. He was accustomed to commercial transactions and controlled more merchant ships than Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Cai was puzzled and sent someone to follow the clues of the source of raw silk in Guangzhou, and finally discovered the source of raw silk: Li Mengshen's centipede fleet!

Zheng Cai was shocked and admired Lin Chunhong at the same time. This guy was so bold that he actually dared to do the robbery in the core hinterland of the Ming Empire!

After learning about this, Zheng Cai naturally strengthened the monitoring of Guangzhou cargo warehouses. Through monitoring, Zheng Cai discovered another important source of goods for Guangzhou cargo warehouses: Zhao Hehai's robbery fleet!

In other words, Li Mengshen and Zhao Hehai are both subordinates of Lin Chunhong!

Zheng Cai was stunned. How strong is Lin Chunhong's strength? Not only did he personally lead more than 10,000 troops to win consecutive victories in the north, he also used Li Mengshen to control the Yangtze River channel, which also gave Zhao Hehai a share of the pie at the sea.

Zheng Cai suddenly extinguished his thoughts of looking for Lin Chunhong's bad luck. He instinctively felt that Zheng Zhilong alone could not make Lin Chunhong hurt at all. Instead of letting Lin Chunhong become a mortal enemy, the two groups would be better for cooperation to make a fortune.

When Zheng Cai expressed his idea of ​​joining forces with Lin Chunhong to deal with Liu Xiang and the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong asked about Lin Chunhong in detail some of the situation. When he learned that Li Mengshen and Zhao and Hai were under Lin Chunhong's subordinates, and that the archers fighting were all supported by Lin Chunhong himself, he could see Lin Chunhong's tendency to become a warlord at a glance and was booing for a while.

Zheng Zhilong's vision is far longer than Zheng Cai. He and Lin Chunhong's views coincide: When the court is weak, there is still room for the growth of the maritime forces. Once the court resolves border troubles and civil strife, he will sooner or later become a meat on the chopping board and be listed as the target of the court's countermeasures. China's land is too vast, relying solely on the ocean and without sufficient deep land support. It is tantamount to confront zhongyangzheng fu.

Now, Lin Chunhong's power on land is expanding rapidly. If the two can unite, at least in the fight against zhong yangzheng fu, there will be more chances of winning.

However, this is a matter of several years later. At present, Zheng Zhilong is working hard to deal with Liu Xiang and the Dutch. It is still unknown whether he can defeat the Dutch and Liu Xiang. How can he consider such a long-term thing? If he is defeated by Liu Xiang and the Dutch, it is not the turn of zhong yangzheng fu to deal with him, and he will have been dealt with by Liu Xiang and the Dutch.

As the saying goes, people will have immediate worries without long-term thinking.

Zheng Zhilong finally gave Zheng Cai a sentence: Let Zhao Hehai prove his strength first!

Yes, Zhao Hehai's strength is too weak, and Liu Xiang can kill him with just one little finger. What are the benefits of cooperating with such a person?
