Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Mao Wenlong received good news.

This news is closely related to Zheng Zhilong and the aristocratic families.

Mao Wenlong and his men recruited Xiang Batian, who successfully infiltrated the circle of Zheng Zhilong and the aristocratic families...

The whole story has to start from the beginning.

Xiang Batian successfully wiped out Nankong and was subsequently sent to the coastal areas around Jiaozhi.

Let them lie in wait and wait for the opportunity.

After arriving at the destination, Xiang Batian changed his name to Xiang Tian.

He led a group of men and started a new career - as pirates.

This is not unfamiliar to Xiang Batian and others. After all, robbery has always been their specialty.

It’s just that in the past they only robbed on land.

Today their activities have expanded to sea and land.

Moreover, they deliberately camouflaged themselves and did not use modern weapons such as guns and artillery.

Instead, they chose more concealed cold weapons and a small number of gunpowder guns.

But in the coastal area of ​​Jiaozhi.

The fighting power of the indigenous people there is too weak.

Even if they only use cold weapons to fight, Xiang Batian and his men can easily roam freely in this land.

As a result, it didn't take long for them to gain a foothold here and attracted many people to join them.

Among these people were not only local indigenous residents, but also remnants of defeated soldiers who fled from the north, and even pirates and roaming Japanese pirates.

With the continuous increase of personnel.

Xiang Batian and his men's momentum is becoming more and more powerful.

Moreover, Xiang Batian had made relevant preparations in advance.

He distinguishes the newcomers from his original subordinates.

Except for a very few core members.

There is almost no intersection between ordinary members and latecomers.

The reason for doing this.

It’s because they have to hide their true identities from Xiang Batian and the others.

Otherwise, once the true identity is exposed.

Many subsequent things will be affected and become less convenient...

……

Xiang Batian and his men took action earlier.

And the number of people is small and the speed is fast.

After they established themselves near Jiaozhi.

Money from the Ming Dynasty court and aristocratic families gradually flowed to the Jiaozhi area.

Whether it is the imperial court or the aristocratic families.

When you arrive in an unfamiliar place, you must first find out the various conditions in the surrounding area.

So the aristocratic families and the Ming Dynasty court.

I heard that there is a very ferocious bandit force hidden on the islands in the coastal areas.

The court did not pay too much attention to this.

It was different for those aristocratic families. They were already planning to continue their escape, and Jiaozhi was obviously not their final destination.

So at this moment, they are in urgent need of workers in all aspects.

Therefore, after some aristocratic families discussed with each other, they began to send people to contact Xiang Batian and others.

This goes on and on.

The two sides successfully established contact.

Xiang Batian and his men also took the opportunity to change their strategy.

He planned to infiltrate the enemy and then disintegrate them from within.

Playing Infernal Affairs with the enemy.

To this end, Xiang Batian and Zheng Fengshou's son Zheng Jinghao made clear division of labor and cooperation.

The group of people who had followed them here from the north were led by Zheng Jinghao.

And gradually reduce their presence.

Hiding on several small islands, paying attention to the actions of the Ming Dynasty court.

As for the newcomers who have come here, they are of all kinds and of varying quality.

Then all will be handed over to Xiang Batian to lead.

Afterwards, Xiang Batian selected a few capable subordinates.

Under their leadership, they dealt with the newly defected stragglers.

A series of basic training was carried out.

This will enhance their discipline and combat effectiveness.

At the same time, Xiang Batian also began to gradually cooperate with people from aristocratic families.

To further deepen the relationship between the two sides...

……

Gradually, the two sides cooperated several times.

The friendship seemed to be growing deeper and deeper.

The Zhang family was against the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, as were the Chen and Lin families in southern Fujian.

These three families have a long history, profound heritage, and long inheritance. They are all veritable big families.

They have cooperated with Xiang Batian and others for many consecutive times.

I feel that people like Batian are pretty good at fighting and have some sailing experience.

He just wanted to recruit Xiang Batian and the others for his own use.

So these three big families sent their core members to contact Xiang Batian and others.

After several rounds of tug-of-war between the two sides.

The three major families extended an olive branch to Batian and his friends and offered extremely attractive conditions.

They hope to invite Xiang Batian to go south with them.

And promised to give him a generous reward.

To put it bluntly, the three major families are afraid of something happening.

I hope Xiang Batian can lead his men to provide strong military support and protection to these three big families.

Xiang Batian pretended to be conflicted and thought about it for a while.

Finally, the two sides reached a consensus, and Xiang Batian gladly accepted their proposal.

therefore.

When other aristocratic families left Jiaozhi one after another.

Xiang Batian led his team to join them and kept following the teams of the three major families.

Became a mercenary for the three major families...

Zheng Jinghao stayed and continued to lead his original troops, staying in the coastal area of ​​Jiaozhi.

The large army of the Ming court that fled to Jiaozhi split into two different forces.

Xiang Batian and Zheng Jinghao also separated, each responsible for monitoring one of the forces.

Xiang Batian led his team.

Following the large army of the aristocratic families, they headed towards the vast ocean without hesitation...

……

Xiang Batian and his crew followed the huge fleet, braving the wind and waves and passing through thick fog.

Finally arrived at a strange and mysterious place - it was the waters of Singapore in later generations.

The fleet slowly approached the shore and the crew members were busy docking the ships.

Set up a temporary camp.

Stationed in the Singapore area.

Xiang Batian stood alone on the bow

Gazing into the distance, his heart is full of curiosity and expectation.

There was also some panic

Because he had no idea where this place was, nor what would happen next...
