Chapter 1621: The First Clues

PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Youshui Yichuan", and add a new chapter for him today.

"Why not?" Wu Zheng didn't want to think about it and said, "Actually, in naval battles, you are better than me, and you are defeated in Qixing Mountain, not because you can't do it, but because the generals of the naval division are not good at that time, the tactics are aging, the warships are not good, and the artillery is not good...... Of course, you'll have to relearn new sea tactics before you take over the fleet. ”

Zheng Sen realized at this time that Wu Zheng didn't seem to be a promise, but seemed to be true.

This made him wonder, "Then what do you want...... Is it all over the world? ”

In Zheng Sen's view, there is only one possibility to put such military power in his hands, that is, Wu Zheng wants to be the emperor.

Because only the emperor could give a fleet of this size to someone else, and he had to hand it over to someone else.

Wu Zheng was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"It's just you and me here, you tell me the truth, do you want to establish yourself as the emperor after the success of the Northern Expedition?" This time, Zheng Sen had the intention of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, "Since you are asking about the success of the Northern Expedition, let's wait until later...... Do the current thing well, the geese are still flying in the sky, so don't discuss steaming or blanching, right? ”

"That'...... Will you build a permanent calendar or build a new one? Zheng Sen was a little disappointed, "How do you place King Jin...... And me? ”

Wu Zheng said suddenly: "Huaxia is so big, it is enough to feed thousands of Han people...... Even if you are really not satisfied, in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, there are desirable places and desirable people...... You can vigorously open up outside, I will provide you with backing, and even ask for credit for you, and let you write a stroke of meritorious service for China's territory expansion when you Zheng Sen is mentioned in the history books, how about it? ”

Zheng Sen hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and stretched out his right hand to Wu Zheng, "A gentleman's word?" ”

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

When the two palms struck together, the two looked at each other and laughed, which reminded them of the scene when they talked one night in Fuzhou five years ago.

Also, many times, people forget why they set out in the first place!

……。

That night, Wu Zheng had a long talk with Zheng Sen again.

He talked about the positioning of the Great Ryukyu Kingdom, and also talked about the current tripartite placement of the Lesser Ryukyu (that is, the Eastern Domain).

Wu Zheng's meaning was very clear, expelling the Dutch red hair from the city of Santo Domingo and the city of San Salvador, these two cities.

It doesn't make sense for the master to live in the wilderness, and the robber to live in the city.

Salute first and then soldiers, and if you can't do it, you can come to the military, and you can even go north and then south, and there is a transition of one or two years in the middle, but the two cities in the north must be handed over.

Wu Zheng promised Zheng Sen that if the red hair did not retreat, the Zheng army's attack would be blocked, and Zhang Mingzhen's water division would send reinforcements at any time.

After confirming this matter, Zheng Sen was in a good mood.

In this way, he will be able to effectively develop the northern part of the Eastern Domain, expand the existing port, and prepare for the upcoming arrival of the South China Sea Fleet.

The two also talked about the Wa Kingdom.

This is a very sensitive topic, because Zheng Sen's biological mother is from Fuso.

Therefore, Wu Zheng only talked selectively.

For example, starting with the war between the two countries during the Wanli period, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent 200,000 troops across the sea to attack Goryeo, the king of Goryeo sent an envoy to beg the Ming Dynasty for assistance, and the Ming Dynasty immediately sent the elite of Liaodong to Goryeo, and finally defeated the Japanese army and defended Goryeo.

Wu Zheng asked Zheng Sen, I heard that after the death of the Hongguang Dynasty, you sent someone to send a letter to the Wa Kingdom to ask for help?

Zheng Sen replied that there was indeed such a thing, and he personally wrote a letter to send someone to the Tokugawa shogunate of the Wa Kingdom, and the letter was written, "Three hundred years of Ming Longxing, Tatar took advantage of the void and broke the two capitals, and Shenzhou was filthy, and when it was difficult today, I wish your country mercy and begged tens of thousands of soldiers!" ”

Wu Zheng asked, "Then what did the other party say?" ”

Zheng Sen replied, "Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was the shogun of Seiyi at the time, refused my request. ”

"What is the reason?"

"It is said that he has no intention of participating in the battle in China." Zheng Sen said, "Later, my father also asked for help from the Wa Kingdom several times, a total of eight letters, two of which were addressed to the Wa State Emperor Tian, three to the shogun, and the other three to Nagasaki, but all of them were sunk into the sea and there was no news. ”

Wu Zheng nodded, in fact, Wu Zheng knew in his heart that the Tokugawa shogunate at this time was implementing a policy of closing the country to the outside world, and it had not been a war for a long time.

Moreover, during the Wanli period, he fought a battle with the Ming Dynasty in Goryeo, but was beaten to the ground by the Ming army, and the navy was basically wiped out.

They heard that the cavalry of the Manchurian Eight Banners was very good, especially after Ning Yuan suffered a loss, Manchuria also had artillery to help, and the firepower was fiercer than that of the Ming army when they were in battle.

Therefore, the Japanese army, which even the Ming army could not defeat, thought that it was definitely not the opponent of the Qing army, so how could it be confident to send troops at all?

Zheng Sen added: "...... Although the Japanese did not send reinforcements, they did send some muskets and supplies, but the number was not large. ”

Wu Zheng smiled and ended the conversation about the Wa Kingdom.

But Zheng Sen suddenly shuddered, and he asked urgently: "You said before that the three major naval divisions will be reorganized into the North and South Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet will be under my control, in order to control the trade exchanges between countries in the South China Sea, what ...... And what about the North Sea Fleet? Do you want to ...... Uh, you don't want to get involved in Fuso, do you?! ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "You think too much, the General's Mansion is currently in internal and external troubles, how can I have so much energy to start another war?" ”

Zheng Sen thought about it, and said with a sigh of relief: "In the past, there was a lesson in the Yuan Dynasty when the expedition to cross the sea was annihilated by a hurricane, and then there was the Emperor Taizu Danshu Iron Coupon, which clearly stated that Fusang was a country that would not be conquered...... You can't do that. ”

"Don't worry." Wu Zheng smiled and changed the subject, "Lingdong Island Haiqing River Yan...... Give you half a year, is that enough? ”

Zheng Sen estimated it and said, "You guarantee that the supply is sufficient, half a year is enough." ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I will ask Master Zhang Ming to provide you with supplies...... But one thing, don't start a new foreign war, at least for a year, I can't afford to deal with another war. ”

"I see."

"In addition, I will discuss with the King of Jin to carve out Quanzhou as a place for you to supply and raise money on land."

At this time, there was a heat surge in Zheng Sen's eyes, and he lowered his head and said, "Thank you...... His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

……。

Leaving the Eastern Domain, Wu Zheng diverted to Lianjiang, Fujian.

Landing from the original Daming Dinghai Station, the destination is Fuzhou.

Now, with the cooperation of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the entire Qing army in Fujian has been swept away by the Great Western Army.

This was the second meeting between Wu Zheng and Li Dingguo.

It is also a meeting of ad hoc decisions.

Speaking from the heart, Wu Zheng was a little frightened when he saw Li Dingguo.

This kind of horror is not because Wu Zheng is afraid of Li Dingguo's power.

It's because of Li Haiyue.

Imagine, Wu Zheng wants to take Li Dingguo as a brother, but Li Dingguo wants to be Wu Zheng's Taishan adult, the key is that Li Haiyue has just reached the age of fourteen, and he is not afraid to see it?
