After the banquet, Zheng Zhilong did not rest in his residence in Quanzhou, but went to the military camp of the Navy Land Battle Camp.

In a temporary command tent, Zheng Zhilong and the guards of four guards sat in a circle.

"Your Majesty has entrusted me with important tasks, but this is not something I can accomplish myself. It also requires the cooperation of my colleagues and soldiers. The Southeast gentry is very involved, and there are their people in the soldiers in Fujian. So I can't believe any of the soldiers here, so I can only trust you.

I, Zheng Zhilong, promise that as long as you can help me open up the situation and complete the control of the Southeast Dao military power and maritime power, as long as you do not betray the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely find opportunities for you to gain enough military merits and win the glory of a lord!"

Zheng Zhilong's words made the four of them feel very appetizing.

The four of them, Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing were rebels, and the other two, Li Ru was transferred from the Yellow River Fuchang. Wang Shuhong was first in the Beijing Camp, and then to the Yellow River Fuchang, and now he was transferred to the Navy Land Battle Camp.

They are all from the ranks, so they like this straightforward commander.

"As the general gives orders, since we have been ordered by the emperor, we will fully support us!" Liu Guoneng said first.

Wang Shuhong thought for a while and said: "Although the training time of the guards led by Xiaguan is a little short, they are all familiar with water and adapt to sea combat. If we need to carry out landing wars, we are always on standby!"

"Haha, okay, with you here, I, Zheng Zhilong, will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

That night, he fell asleep in the military camp.

Zheng Zhilong led 20,000 elite troops to Fujian, which was a major event for the entire Southeast region.

Gentlemen and merchants from all over the country gathered together to discuss how to deal with this matter and guess what Zheng Zhilong would do next.

But for the next period of time, Zheng Zhilong seemed to have forgotten the 20,000 elite soldiers, just asked them to train in the camp and integrate their previous old subordinates.

Until seven days later, news suddenly came that Kinmen Island was attacked by a large number of pirates.

When the news came to command, Xiong Wencan first found Zheng Zhilong, and then quickly summoned officers from all over the world to discuss the matter.

"I guess everyone has heard of it. Just yesterday, thousands of pirates attacked Kinmen, injured dozens of people, looted Jin'an Town, looted a large amount of wealth and set sail. Quanzhou merchants suffered heavy losses and sent people to come and demanded troops to wipe out the pirates.

According to the flag, this pirate should be Li Kuiqi's troops. Benfu asked you to come today to discuss what to do."

Speaking of this, Xiong Wencan paused, looked at Zheng Zhilong, and said, "General Zheng, what do you think you should do?"

"Pirates plunder the people, of course they have to send troops to wipe out! How can the Ming Dynasty's seashore allow these pirates to rage?" Zheng Zhilong said with an upright look on his face.

These words came out of his mouth, and everyone looked like a ghost.

Especially Yu Zigao, he wanted to point at Zheng Zhilong's nose and ask him, why did he not have this awareness when he was a pirate last year?

Zheng Zhilong's words were supported by officials at the top and bottom. Xiong Wencan made the decision and said, "Since that's the case, then General Zheng will send troops to wipe out the pirates."

"Should this be the case." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

In fact, Li Kuiqi did not attack Kinmen at all. Those people were his subordinates. During this period, he summoned his subordinates to the shore for reorganization. On the one hand, they really needed to turn them from pirates to official troops.

On the other hand, in order to create the illusion that all his subordinates would accept the reorganization, they secretly sent people to raise Li Kuiqi's banner and directed the attack.

Southeast gentry, bureaucrats, merchants and pirates form an interest group, and only by breaking this interest group can one break through it.

The goods of Quanzhou merchants were robbed in the name of Li Kuiqi, which directly led to the anger of the merchants at Li Kuiqi.

For them, if a pirate is not subject to discipline, he can train another one. As long as there is enough money, he can train new thugs.

Li Kuiqi is just a relatively powerful pirate on the southeast coast, and there are many people who can compete with it.

If the interests of the merchant gang were moved, that was his death.

So they actively mobilized their forces to promote the suppression of bandits. When the news came to Xiong Wencan, Zheng Zhilong naturally sent troops.

In Zheng Zhilong's plan, if he wants to develop, he must annex the pirate forces of all sizes, so that only ships under his name can travel in this sea area.

In this case, the merchant gentry in the southeast will definitely not be allowed to appear.

Because if pirates dominate, it means that the trade route is completely monopolized by one, and the profits they can obtain will be greatly reduced.

In this way, every time a pirate moves, you need to consider the reactions of each place.

If the maritime merchants had not taken the initiative to eliminate the pirates, they might have informed the pirates. Even if they win, they would have suffered heavy losses and would not be worth the gain.

Especially at the beginning, Zheng Zhilong's personal fleet could not fight against all other pirates, so he could not alarm the snake, and he had to annex them step by step.

Now with the support of these merchants, Zheng Zhilong has to eat this pirate at the fastest speed.

Li Kuiqi, a pirate, is entrenched in the Penghu area. Zheng Zhilong does not want to decide the outcome through naval battles. He wants to preserve Li Kuiqi's sea ship to the greatest extent. There are enough large ships on the sea to be considered to have strong enough strength.

Zheng Zhilong used Yu Zigao as the vanguard, allowing the few ships he led to attract Li Kuiqi's attention head-on. At the same time, he sent Wang Shuhong and others to secretly land on a small boat far from the island.

Wang Shuhong ordered three troops to form a group to attack the pirates on the island. Ordinary pirates had any weapons and firepower, and were directly suppressed and eliminated. A considerable number of people chose to surrender.

After simply tied them up, Wang Shuhong's team immediately attacked other places.

With the precise cooperation between the two sides, because the timing was properly grasped, Li Kuiqi had only time to send about 10% of the ships to fight, and the water camp was captured by Wang Shuhong.

Li Kuiqi was killed and most of the pirates surrendered, proclaiming the end of the battle.

The entire Li Kuiqi's fleet was retained, and the smoothness of things exceeded Zheng Zhilong's imagination.

Is this the feeling of having an elite army?

In this kind of action that requires close cooperation, what the pirates show is a quality gap between the rioters and professional officials.

If warships dominate the sea, nothing will appear, but on land, pirates will be vulnerable to real professional officers.

Zheng Zhilong felt that he could do it more radically.
