From the moment when the first batch of naval soldiers of the Imperial Guard rushed to Zheng Zhihu's flagship, Zheng Zhihu's complete failure was announced.

The naval soldiers of the Imperial Guards began to shoot and kill these pirates who were still fighting stubbornly. Within half a quarter of an hour, they controlled all the gun positions of Zheng Zhihu's flagship.

Zheng Zhihu was also captured before attempting to escape on a small boat, and was escorted to Zheng He by the Imperial Guard Navy's boat before his flagship completely sank to the bottom of the sea.

With a squeak, with the loss of the last trace of balance, Zheng Zhihu's flagship was directly pulled into the water. This was the first large warship to be sunk from the Zheng pirates to the sea, and it was also the flagship of the Zheng family's owner.

Zheng Zhihu was tied up by Wuhua. He struggled a few times with resentment on his face, trying to get rid of being carried by the two imperial guards like monkeys.

"Be honest!" As soon as Zheng Zhihu struggled, the two soldiers of the Imperial Guards each punched him hard on his waist, which made Zheng Zhihu's kidneys hurt so much, and he suddenly became awkward, but he still couldn't help but say angrily: "I didn't expect that my Zheng Er would actually fall into the hands of you guys, the yellow-mouthed children. It's so embarrassing, embarrassing!"

Gu Sanmazi was carried over by his subordinates in a chair. Although he accidentally hung up the lottery, it could not hide his joy at this moment. He looked down at Zheng Zhihu openly: "Zheng Lao Er, do you recognize who I am?"

Zheng Zhihu looked up and showed a little surprise. He smiled sarcastically: "Gu Sanmazi, don't think that if you change your body, I won't recognize you. I was forced to hide in Hangzhou Bay by me back then. I have been drinking the northwest wind a lot over the years."

"Thank you for your blessing, your grandfather, I still live a life of great success. Now I have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and became a person from the court. Now I have followed the decree of Your Majesty to capture you, an unforgivable person who is ungrateful and repeatedly violated the laws of the king!"

Zheng Zhihu didn't speak and groaned. Now that he was taken away, he could only admit defeat. He just knelt in front of a little pirate leader who he had never looked down upon every day, which made him feel really wronged.

But Gu Sanmazi was very interested. He was a powerful pirate in the East China Sea area back then. He had many exchanges with the coastal local officials from Ningbo Prefecture to Songjiang Prefecture, and his life was very comfortable. However, after the rise of the Zheng Zhilong group in Fujian, he forced him to lose a lot of interests and had to go to Hangzhou Bay to live by plundering ordinary fishing boats. Naturally, the oil and water were less, and he was surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers, which made him often hungry, otherwise he would not have chosen to submit to the court.

But now it is different. Gu Sanmazi transformed into a second-rank court official, and he was justified in fighting for the Ming Dynasty and the court. He was more majestic than the county magistrate he looked up to back then.

Zheng Zhihu, who didn't look at him directly and even made friends with a lot of money to pray for him to let him go, became his captive at this time.

The most proud thing in life is that his former enemy is now kneeling in front of him. This is what Gu Sanmazi is like. If he hadn't been injured now, he was about to go up and kick him a few times.

"Juanzi, come here!" Gu Sanmazi called a little girl in her teens. She was a little girl who Gu Sanmazi saved when he robbed Zhoushan from Zheng's pirates. As soon as the little girl named Juanzi came over, Gu Sanmazi pointed at Zheng Zhihu and said, "Go up and help Uncle San slap him a few times. It was his man back then that he had no father or mother. He was your enemy!"

The little girl named Juanzi nodded and didn't say anything, but she listened to Gu Sanmazi's words and walked up directly. It seemed that she was really brave enough to dare to join Gu Sanmazi in the naval battle. However, the little girl named Juanzi didn't slap her with her hands, but at some point she took out a knife and stabbed Zheng Zhihu: "Kill you, kill you!"

"Ah!" The little girl was not very strong, so she did not directly stab Zheng Zhihu to death. However, the wound that pierced the real skin was very painful, and Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but scream.

"Chief Gu, let her stop. Zheng Zhihu cannot be killed at this moment. Your Majesty said that if the relatives of the Zheng family could be arrested, they should be escorted to the capital immediately and his Majesty would be personally taken." At this time, Zheng He, the commander who was standing beside him, persuaded him.

"I am worthy of being the daughter raised by Gu Sanmazi, and I have a temper with me!"

Gu Sanmazi couldn't help laughing, then called Juanzi back and said, "Go to inform General Qin that Zheng Zhihu has been captured, and we won all this battle, and we did not wipe out all our troops!"

"We are not completely wiped out!"

Gu Sanmazi suddenly yelled.

Suddenly, after Gu Sanmazi shouted, the officers and soldiers of the other imperial guards also shouted, and the cheers directly resounded throughout the ocean covered by night.

Except for the Zheng He, the other warships began to fire artillery from the sea, and the soldiers also began to fire firearms freely. It seemed that only in this way could they express the excitement in their hearts.

The next day at dawn, the sky was just slightly bright, and the sky covered by dark clouds gradually became white. The sunlight shone into the clouds, like an inverted triangle light shield, shrouding the warships of the First Fleet of the North Sea, which were staying at sea level, under the halo.

On the still red sea level, you can still see many pirate warships that have not yet completely sunk, and even floating corpses, and still countless innocent fish that have been blown to death.

Several seabirds flew past, making shrill screams, as if telling people that a fierce battle had just begun here.

However, the soldiers of the First Fleet of the North Sea did not have any leisure to appreciate their masterpieces yesterday. They now have to continue to travel to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and they must speed up.

No one knows whether the Zheng pirates would give up if they captured Zheng Zhihu. After all, at sea, the Zheng group still has an absolute maritime advantage.

Moreover, the First Fleet of the Imperial Guards in the North Sea has consumed a lot of ammunition and cannot continue the next fierce battle, so they must speed up the pace and send people back to report to Zhu Youxiao and request additional forces to come for support, at least sufficient ammunition must be supplied.

Since the Ryukyu Kingdom was defeated by the Japanese military aristocrat Satsuma Fate decades ago, it had to worship the Ming Dynasty as the sect leader while also the Satsuma Fate as the sect leader.

But Zhu Youxiao did not blame them for this now. After all, the Ming Dynasty is continuing a maritime trade transfer station like Ryukyu. As for the Japanese pirates who attempted to deprive the Ming of the ocean hegemony in the Western Pacific, the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later clean up to let them know that the Ming Dynasty is not old!

The mission process after arriving at Ryukyu Kingdom was very smooth. Although the battle between the First Fleet of the North Sea in the waters near Ryukyu Kingdom did not allow Zheng Zhilong, who was in Fujian to negotiate with the left governor of Fujian, to know the latest battle situation, the Japanese Satsuma Fan, which was permanently stationed in the Ryukyu Kingdom, knew the battle situation in advance. Knowing that the fleet in front of him, which actually declared the presence of the Ming Dynasty court, was not underestimated.

Therefore, they knew that they did not dare to provoke this fleet of envoys easily. Even the Satsuma clan did not act provocatively because of the excessive grand welcome to the visit of Ming pedestrians Cheng Yuqingdeng and others in the Ming Dynasty. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only be in their hearts.

The Royal Weaving Bureau also successfully established the Ryukyu Branch of the Royal Weaving Bureau in Fulicheng, Ryukyu Kingdom, and officially began the first step of the Royal Weaving Bureau in expanding overseas trade.

Sheng Jingting, the owner of the Yuyao Royal Weaving Workshop of the Jiangnan Branch, who followed Wei Ming, to Ryukyu, was appointed as the head of the Ryukyu Branch of the Royal Weaving Bureau, and strived to establish workshops of the Royal Weaving Bureau in various cities and even other surrounding areas over the past year.

The reason why Sheng Jingting came was because Sheng Jingting himself grew up in the Nanyang area and was familiar with languages ​​from all over the world.

Originally, Britain in history established the East India Company in the form of opium and then colonized the world and thus laid the foundation for his empire of the Sun-Down. Now the Ming Dynasty is going to start its own journey of imperial conquest with silk and other handicrafts, of course there are also opium.

Zhu Youxiao has issued an order to the Royal Weaver Bureau, allowing the Royal Weaver Bureau to sell opium, but only to Europa. The reason is that since the so-called powers such as Europa in another time and space opened their own doors in the form of opium, he also opened his medieval doors in the same way.

Zhu Youxiao hopes that some so-called public intellectuals of Europa can also thank their Ming Dynasty for using opium to make them numb and corrode their genetic levels while also bringing them changes. Although it is a change based on shame, they are really proud of it.

As soon as some small amounts of goods from the Royal Weaving Bureau and its accompanying Royal Industrial Company entered the market of Ryukyu, they immediately caused great response. These princes and nobles of Ryukyu countries were crazily buying these exquisite silk and glass artworks and so-called soap perfumes, just like the rich people of Dubai in later generations.

In less than March, Sheng Jingting brought more than 2 million taels of profit to the Royal Weaving Bureau, including himself, and he also received more than 10,000 taels of dividends for his shares.

Sheng Jingting is planning to make more money and deposit it in Royal Bank at that time, and then save some more and buy Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou. It is the garden he yearns for the most.

...

The red candle was hanging high, and Hai Lanzhu held the brush in one hand and wrote the chicken feet like chicken feet on the paper, "The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows on the stones" with the other hand, and could not help but wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead.

She didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao called her and asked her to help him copy "Theory of Heaven and Ethics". But Hai Lanzhu knew that she didn't know many Chinese characters at all, let alone write them. It was already a great thing to be able to understand them. Now that she asked herself to copy and write, it was even more difficult.

Zhu Youxiao had to hand over the task of copying "Theory of Heaven" to Su Luoruo, and personally taught Hai Lanzhu to write. However, seeing Hai Lanzhu's painful look made him feel very funny.

"Press tightly, move your wrists, and relax your arms, light horizontally and heavy horizontally!" Zhu Youxiao was quite interested in holding Hai Lanzhu's hand while placing his hand on Hai Lanzhu's fragrant buttocks to explore. Hai Lanzhu's body was itchy and in pain, and he couldn't help but beg: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, can you not learn these Chinese characters?"

"No! I have ordered Yang Tinglin and others to respect your customs and religious beliefs, all the people who have surrendered in Mongolia, regardless of men, women, young and old, must learn Chinese characters in the south of the Mongolian region, so as to achieve the purpose of learning the profound culture of our Ming Dynasty and make you a true Ming Dynasty! And you, Hai Lanzhu, is now in my deep palace, so you should work harder and set a good example for your Mongolian brothers and sisters, study hard, and reward you well if you learn well."

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he couldn't help but put his hand into Hai Lanzhu's bellyband and held a pair of small balls. He couldn't help but pinch it, causing Hai Lanzhu to moan, and glared at Zhu Youxiao with a soft and long angrily: "Your Majesty, you!"

"Write it well!" Zhu Youxiao took back his hand, but almost all of his body was placed on Hai Lanzhu's jade back. Hai Lanzhu had to endure Zhu Youxiao's dishonest movements, gritted her teeth and continued to follow Zhu Youxiao's handwriting Chinese characters on the paper.

As he was writing, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, I don't understand the meaning of these poems, and it's boring to write them. Can I change it to something that I can understand? It would be more interesting to copy it."

Seeing Hai Lanzhu looking at her seriously, her almond eyes blinked, which was so lovely.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile and went to the tiny to pick up a copy of "Jin Ping Mei Ci" from his own body: "Just copy this."

"Okay", Hai Lanzhu nodded and felt dipped in ink, and started copying: "Ximen Qing dragged Yue Niang into the room with one hand. In front of the light, he often wore: big red silk jacket, soft yellow skirt; wearing a marten rat and a rabbit on his head, Jin Manchi was distracted..."

But unexpectedly, as he copied it, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but blush. He suddenly put down his pen and stood up immediately and said, "Your Majesty, this book cannot be copied!"

"How can I not copy it, copy it well?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel funny. It seemed that Hai Lanzhu was not unaware of the words. At least the vernacular language in the golden bottle plum was still understandable. While watching Hai Lanzhu's breathing was getting heavier and his earlobes were bright red, he couldn't help but kiss his cheek. Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but nod and lowered her eyebrows and called out softly: "Your Majesty!"

This call immediately attracted Zhu Youxiao's soul and stuck it on it. The Hai Lanzhu also responded with it on its own initiative, and it was once beautiful and charming, with unlimited scenery.

Unexpectedly, just when we were in love, there was a rapid knock on the door outside, which disturbed Zhu Youxiao's great interest. In the heat, he simply took off his half-open robe to the ground and kicked the door: "When is it so anxious, tell me."

"Return to Your Majesty, I just got the news that the fleet on the Ryukyu Kingdom this time was indeed attacked by Zheng Zhihu, and the news has been implemented. It was led by Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Zhihu. This person is the most brave general among the Zheng family pirates, and there are thousands of pirates dispatched this time!"
