The most difficult thing in the world is to gain the emperor's trust.
The Emperor is high in the clouds, and his thoughts are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Although "Jian Zai Di Xin" only has four words, the meaning contained in it is extremely rich.
Kentang Zhang has been involved in officialdom for most of his life, so he naturally understands the truth.
A minister who can be as simple as possible in the emperor's heart, not to mention a very human minister, is at least at the level of a humble minister.
Kentang Zhang felt that his opportunity had come.
At this time, it is natural to roll up your sleeves and work hard, and you must not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor.
As for Yuan Weitai, the prefect of Dengzhou, his mood is actually similar to that of Zhang Kentang.
The governor has the respect of the emperor, and he has the respect of the governor, doesn't it mean that he has the respect of the emperor?
Although there is a layer of relationship between them, the meaning is roughly the same.
As for the emperor's imperial edict that he wanted to take care of Zheng Chenggong, it is naturally easy to understand.
Zheng Chenggong was the son of Zheng Zhilong and a student of Huangming Military Academy, so the emperor naturally wanted to win over him.
What's even more valuable is that Zheng Chenggong really has something in his stomach.
Wasn't it his idea to search the sea and attack the pirates' lair?
It’s already very good for young people to be able to do this, and we can’t ask too much of them.
"Master Fuyuan, I think we should start searching the sea immediately and eliminate one or two groups of pirates."
If there was no need to rush before, now it is necessary to act immediately.
This imperial edict is both a spur and a requirement.
As a minister, you should take immediate action to relieve the emperor's worries.
Zhang Kentang nodded slightly and said, "I have this intention as well.
So I ordered you to go down and start searching the sea.
Remember to ask Zheng Chenggong to go with you."
"I obey your orders."
Yuan Weitai said resolutely with his hands clasped in his fists.
Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the lucky boat, letting the sea breeze blow by his face, feeling as if he was in another world.
When his father brought him back to Fujian from Japan, he took a lucky boat and sailed thousands of miles before finally arriving in Quanzhou.
At that time, he was just a young man from a powerful family who knew nothing.
In just a few years, he became a disciple of the Emperor and a useful person who could contribute to the Ming Dynasty.
This change is really big.
With Zheng Chenggong's identity and background, he could have lived his whole life comfortably under the shadow of his father if he wanted to.
But he felt that such a life was meaningless.
When a man lives in the world, he must build his achievements with his own hands.
I don't know when Zhang Huangyan came behind him: "Mingyan, you have something on your mind."
Zheng Chenggong turned his head and smiled: "That's not true, I just remembered some past events.
Why, brother Xuanzhu seems to be in a good mood."
"Ahem, to be honest, I am excited to be able to sail on the sea.
Looking at this vast ocean, boundless, makes me feel better."
After a pause, Zhang Huangyan continued: "Can we really find the pirates' lair just by searching the sea like this?"
There are more than thirty naval warships sent by the governor to search the sea this time, accounting for almost one-third of the total number of Denglai naval vessels.
But these thirty ships seemed very small when scattered over the vast sea.
This is probably what the saying "a drop in the ocean" means.
Moreover, the naval officers and soldiers are mainly composed of Shence troops.
There is nothing wrong with the combat effectiveness and fighting will of these officers and soldiers, but they are not very familiar with the nearby sea area, which is also a hidden danger.
Zheng Chenggong, however, was not worried and said: "Brother Xuanzhu, don't worry, I have experience in this area."
Zheng Chenggong was certainly not bragging when he said this.

In fact, there are generally rules for pirates to choose islands as their bases.
First of all, the island must have a bay suitable for anchoring, and the bay must be sheltered from the wind.
Moreover, it is best to have less sand and gravel on the small island and more fresh water.
There are not many islands that meet these conditions at the same time, and you can always find them by searching like this.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Ship, there is a boat ahead."
Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan looked in that direction at the same time, and sure enough they saw a large ship in the style of a Guangzhou ship.
This ship is not far from Zheng Chenggong's ship, and it only takes a moment to catch up.
But Zheng Chenggong was not the person in charge after all, he had to ask the governor Zhang Kentang for his opinion.
At this moment, Zhang Kentang was drinking tea with the prefect Yuan Weitai in the cabin.
The cabin is so exquisitely decorated, with all the utensils needed, that you don't even feel like you are on a boat.
While the two were chatting and laughing, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan rushed in like a storm.
Kentang Zhang frowned slightly.
Zheng Chenggong was already very outstanding among young people, but he still had the shortcoming of being irritable.
It seems that I will have to train and polish him more in the future.
"Zheng Xiansheng, I see you are in such a hurry, but you have something important to do."
Kentang Zhang said while stroking his beard.
"Reporting to the Fuyuan, the students found a Guangzhou ship ahead and came here to ask the Fuyuan whether to pursue it."
"oh"
Kentang Zhang's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, I found something just after I started searching the sea.
"Naturally, if we want to pursue him, we don't care whether he is a merchant or a thief.
We should catch up first."
Kentang Zhang was eager to perform meritorious service at this moment, so he naturally refused to miss any opportunity to perform meritorious service.
The ship he desperately hoped to find was full of pirates.
What the naval formation at sea read was the semaphore.
After Governor Zhang Kentang gave the order, the ship was the first to display the semaphore.
Upon seeing this, the other navy ships changed their direction and followed.
Of course, it was impossible for a huge naval formation to change direction in an instant.
It took the Denglai Navy a long time to complete the steering of all ships.
The Guangzhou ship obviously realized the danger and began to escape desperately.
This move aroused Zheng Chenggong's vigilance.
If you are an ordinary merchant ship, why would you run away when you see the navy?
Zheng Chenggong ordered the sails to be full and pursued the fleeing Guangzhou ship as quickly as possible.
As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the people on the Guangzhou ship knew that they could not get rid of Denglai Navy's warship, so they took the initiative to attack.
Guangzhou turned halfway, and more than a dozen artillery pieces were ignited one after another.
This distance was within the range of the artillery.
I saw lead bullets roaring in, some of which hit the sea directly, and some of which hit the starboard side of the ship.
"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder quickly" Zheng Chenggong roared desperately.
From this angle, they were at a huge disadvantage.
If they were hit by a few lead bullets, they would probably lose their ability to pursue.
If the vital part is hit, the boat may even sink directly.
At this moment, Yuan Weitai and Zhang Kentang on the deck did not say a word, and quietly watched Zheng Chenggong command and dispatch.
This young man is amazing.
He is calm in the face of danger, calm in every situation, and can command calmly.
After a little training, he will become a great talent
