"Fuck, this is not a place for people to stay. A place for taking a shit is so beautiful. Compared with this, the place we live in is not even as good as a doghouse. I squatted in there for a long time, but I couldn't poop because of the shaking of the shiny wall." The people Zheng Zhihu brought with him were all rough folks. They didn't know any better at the time. When they arrived at a place like this, they couldn't adapt to it for a while. The person who went to the bathroom couldn't bear it anymore after holding his breath in there for a long time and ran out.
A few people had visited the restroom before, but at that time they didn't know it was for relieving themselves. Seeing that person hurried out, one of them couldn't help but feel the same way and said, "Brother Hu, you say that Lord Tang is really rich, right? A place where you take a shit is so luxurious, it's like he has a lot of money to burn."
"Yeah, Brother Hu, this place is so rich. Why don't we go back and let the leader lead his troops to occupy this place?" Another person said enviously, his eyes full of greed.
"Hmph, look at how little you have achieved. It's nothing. The manor my eldest brother lives in is no worse than this one. But don't worry, one day my eldest brother will lead us to conquer this place, and then you will have a chance to enjoy it." Zheng Zhihu snorted lightly. Although he knew in his heart that in terms of grandeur, the manor built by his eldest brother could not compare to this one in any way, he just couldn't say such discouraging words in front of his subordinates.
Most of those who can become small leaders in a big force are shrewd people. Seeing that Zheng Zhihu looked unhappy, no one would bring up this topic again and turn the conversation to women.
In the evening, Xu Yuhua appeared again to invite Zheng Zhihu and his party to a banquet. During the meal, both sides deliberately avoided the topics discussed during the day. Xu Yuhua deliberately showed off in front of Zheng Zhihu and others about his overseas experiences that he had learned from Tang Tong. Although Zheng Zhihu had also had contact with many Westerners, he did not know the situation in a certain part of Europe. Seeing Xu Yuhua's clear and coherent explanation, he could not help but feel ashamed. He thought to himself, I don't know whether this guy is telling the truth or not. The Netherlands, a tiny country, is so powerful that my Zheng family has been on the defensive all these years. If a big country comes here, what will happen? There will be no place for my Zheng family to survive on this sea.
The next day, Xu Yuhua still did not enter into negotiations with Zheng Zhihu and his team, but took Zheng Zhihu and his team to send Hei Pi and his team off. Hei Pi has always held the title of general manager of Nanyang Development Company, but it is just a name without substance. This time, Hei Pi will lead the team to Nanyang to officially start the company's business.
This time, Luo Tieshan, Tang Chaosan, and Liu Yiming also went with the navy. The entire fleet consisted of three Dutch ships, ten warships produced in the Ming Dynasty, and ten commercial ships. There were 1,300 navy soldiers belonging to the Nanyang Development Company, 80,000 Japanese auxiliary soldiers armed with muzzle-loading matchlock rifles, 1,000 Ming Dynasty sailors armed with cold weapons, and 3,000 Japanese people prepared to be used as porters. As for cargo, they did not bring much, mainly some daily necessities produced in Tang Tong's factory.
Seeing the departure of Tang Tong's most elite warships, Zheng Zhihu actually didn't understand why Xu Yehua dragged them to watch this scene. In the afternoon, Xu Yehua dragged Zheng Zhihu and others to watch another scene of sending off soldiers. This time, the ships that went out to sea were the rest of Tang Tong's ships. They were composed of a thousand new recruits who had been trained for several months and 18,000 captives from the Japanese and Liu Xiang. They set off for Goryeo in a mighty force. Their purpose this time was to go to Goryeo to rob food, and the leader was Zhang Niujiao.
Now Zhang Niu Jiao is fat and bloated, looking like a rich man. Although he has no wealth, he follows Tang Tong sincerely. This time, there is also a group of students who graduated from the school run by Tang Tong. In addition to learning some culture, these students have also received some military knowledge training. They formed a staff department and accompanied Zhang Niu Jiao to Goryeo to gain some fighting experience.
After seeing Zhang Niujiao and the others off, Xu Yuhua smiled and asked Zheng Zhihu, "General Zheng, you've witnessed the strength of my master's men at sea. To show our sincerity, we've already dispatched our navy. Whether it's war or peace, General Zheng, I think you should have made up your mind."
Zheng Zhihu glanced at the five thousand new recruits under Tang Tong who were training on the beach. These people were currently undergoing physical training more than ten miles away. They had no guns and were only wearing sandbags on their bodies. Zheng Zhihu could tell at a glance that these people were all new recruits and had absolutely no combat effectiveness. It seemed that the Kocang City was short of troops.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhihu's heart couldn't help but become active. Seeing the look in Zheng Zhihu's eyes, Xu Hua couldn't help but snorted in his heart, thinking that it's just that you didn't come. If you come, I will make sure that your Zheng family will never have the power to dominate the sea again.
"Mr. Xu, you know that we came here with sincerity for the peace talks. If you are willing to give us the issuance of passports for overseas Chinese, my eldest brother is very willing to discuss some matters in the future with you." Zheng Zhihu was thinking in his mind while perfunctorily answering Xu Hua.
"Haha, there are so many overseas Chinese in the Nanyang area, your Zheng family can also issue passports there." Xu Yuhua smiled slightly, but he was thinking in his heart, if your Zheng family is allowed to issue these passports, I am afraid it will become a means for your Zheng family to accumulate wealth. At that time, your Zheng family will not only be unable to protect these overseas Chinese, but also suck blood from these poor people who have left their homes.
