"Most people know." Shi Fulai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Zheng Zhilong is quite unruly. Compared to Xu Xinsu, Zheng Zhilong is more difficult to deal with, and he has been causing trouble outside for many years."
"We at the Imperial Household Department have dealt with Zheng Zhilong before, and even done business with him. Under these circumstances, our relationship with him can't be considered good. After all, they've been rampant on the sea for so many years, and they even have some Japanese under their command, but they've never caused any trouble, so the situation has been dragging on."
Fang Zhenghua understood, but couldn't control it. Then he knew what to do.
If you can't control it, then that's not okay. There can't be anything in the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty can't control. Whether you are a good person or a bad person, if you can't control it, then that's not okay. Besides, where are the good and bad people?
And what does the existence of the Japanese mean?
You are the prototype of Japanese pirates. What if you get angry one day and come to attack us?
It will harm the people of the Ming Dynasty.
People like this who could become Japanese pirates should be killed directly.
Fang Huazheng looked at Shi Laifu and asked, "Does the Imperial Household Department have the ability? Besides this fleet, aren't there other fleets? Which island are they said to be on?"
"Yes, yes." Shi Laifu nodded quickly and said with a smile: "They are all on the island. But it doesn't matter. We have Zheng Zhilong in our hands now. Just let him go and persuade them to surrender."
"Isn't Xu Xinsu still here? Let them go together. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will report to His Majesty on what official position Zheng Zhilong should be given or what he should do."
After hearing this, Yu Zigao felt relieved.
The Imperial Household Department agreed, and Fang Zhenghua had no objections, so this matter would be easy to handle. They would have to clash with Zheng Zhilong sooner or later when they went south anyway, so they might as well just wipe him out this time.
And this time, being able to get so many supplies will definitely allow me to get a piece of the pie. This is a very crucial matter.
In this regard, the Imperial Household Department was very good at dealing with people. Moreover, after defining Zheng Zhilong as a Japanese pirate, this was the spoils of war, and they could get another share.
Yu Zigao finally felt relieved.
Fang Zhenghua said, "That's the best. Let's do it."
Shi Laifu nodded and said, "Since we have seized so many things, let's go back and take inventory to see if there are any good things and send some to the palace."
This is how to share the benefits with Founder.
Fang Zhenghua didn't say anything, just nodded.
The few of them discussed the matter in a very short period of time. Before Zheng Zhilong even met him, his fate had already been decided.
Zheng Zhilong outside knew nothing and was thinking about how to please these officials and change his identity from a thief to an official.
Zheng Zhilong believed that he would never be a match for the Royal Navy, and surrender was a good option.
Once you surrender, your future will depend on the officials.
If a loser like Xu Xinsu could achieve such great success, then he could do the same. So when someone brought him in, Zheng Zhilong's face was very serious.
After coming in, Zheng Zhilong saw several people present.
After taking a look, Zheng Zhilong quickly said, "Zheng Zhilong greets you gentlemen."
Yu Zigao glanced at Zheng Zhilong and said, "I am Yu Zigao, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy. I believe you understand why you are here. Tell me."
"Actually, we just wanted to see where you were going." Zheng Zhilong said somewhat helplessly, "We're going to Korea and Japan to do business this time, and we're going in the same direction as you. If we could know where you were going and what you were doing, it would also be beneficial to our business. This is just a misunderstanding, and we didn't mean to do this."
"Misunderstanding?" Yu Zigao snorted coldly. "Spying on the army's movements, you call that a misunderstanding? We suspect you're colluding with Japan and plotting against the Ming Royal Navy."
"No, no, absolutely not." Zheng Zhilong quickly shook his head and said, "Why would I collude with Japan to plot against the Ming Dynasty's Royal Navy? Are you going to Japan this time and want to fight against Japan?"
"Yes." Yu Zigao nodded and said, "We must attack Japan."
"I can help!" Zheng Zhilong immediately became excited and said quickly, "I have someone over there who is familiar with the place and can definitely help."
