Chapter 458 Enemies on all sides

"Hou Ye rest assured, the defense of the senior staff will be properly deployed if it succeeds......"

Zheng Chenggong's confident words interrupted Lin Xiao's thoughts.

"There is plenty of food and grass here, and there are so many young and strong people who are eager to apply, and in less than three months, we can successfully expand the army by tens of thousands,"

Zheng Chenggong raised his hand and pointed to the bustling dock, and said proudly, "Success guarantees to repel all invading enemies, and will never let this treasure island wander outside the territory of our empire again." ”

The battle of liberation was fought neatly, and under the instruction of Zheng Chenggong, Guo Huaiyi publicized the promise of the country's surname and the general to recuperate and recuperate, so that the people who had just been liberated from the clutches of the colonizers raised their eyebrows and were ecstatic, and their enthusiasm for enlisting in the army was very high.

In fact, not all of them were Han Chinese, but the people of the four major societies inhabited by the local Gaoshan people—Xingang, Mujiataowan, Xiaoyuan, and Madoushe—also responded in groups, warmly welcoming Zheng Jun's righteous move to recover the island, and there were many people who were willing to join the army.

In this way, the target of recruitment is no longer limited to more than 100,000 Han people, according to Guo Huaiyi's estimate, as long as the national surname is willing, at least 20,000 new soldiers can be recruited.

"Okay, if that's the case, Wang Ye's merits will be in the future, and he will definitely leave a name in history......"

Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Zheng Chenggong and said with meaningful flattery.

He noticed Zheng Chenggong's wording, and although it was unclear whether he intended or not, Zheng Chenggong did use the word "empire" instead of "Daming......

"It's just that, in terms of weapons, Master Hou ......"

Zheng Chenggong smiled and waved his hand, tentatively making a request.

Although the weapons captured this time are not small, Lin Xiao and the various weapons they have are really enviable, as the main general, they always hope to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.

Zheng Chenggong is a smart person, he has already seen that this person in front of him must not be a thing in the pool, looking at the present, the strength of this group of people has long been enough to despise all opposing forces.

In the future, what kind of relationship will there be between them and the small court of the Zhu family, Zheng Chenggong has no bottom in his heart.

Zheng Chenggong's bottom line is that he must completely drive away the Tartars who deceived his father, as for whether Jiangshan can still be surnamed Zhu in the end, he feels that he is really powerless - after several years of raising troops, he has been fighting in the east and west, and even Fujian has not been recovered.

Yes, Zheng Chenggong felt that it was time to find out the details of this person.

If he really has the world in his heart, everything can be focused on the people of the community, then he Zheng Chenggong must not hold on to the defects......

"Don't worry, since the prince is helping him and is willing to borrow a boat for the Northern Expedition, he will never be stingy in the future,"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I plan to show a little bit of my heart and send the prince fifty new rifles first, so that the prince can form a guard...... The corresponding ammunition and instructors were also provided below, as well as ...... The remaining hundreds of packets of gunpowder were also given to the prince. ”

"Oh?"

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, his eyes lit up at the moment, and he said happily, "Then thank you, Master Hou is really a friend!" ”

"Always be honest with your friends in the next place,"

Lin Xiao shook his hand, and the words changed, "However, the inferior ones are all overseas travelers, who have traveled to Western countries for generations, and have learned lessons from all over the world, if you want to make my Huaxia out of the strange circle of the rise and fall of the dynasty, you must implement land reform, does the prince think so?" ”

"The people are important, the king is light......"

Zheng Chenggong's expression was solemn, and he muttered, "As long as my nation is strong and no longer humiliated by foreigners, I will succeed in ......."

"Lord Gao Yi,"

Seeing his reluctant expression, Lin Xiao arched his hand, thinking that it was better to divert the topic, "By the way, when it comes to the new rifle, there is still something on my mind that I have to tell the prince." ”

"What's on your mind?"

"That Japanese named Sanada killed more than ten of my compatriots and siblings, grabbed a batch of guns and escaped,"

Lin Xiao frowned tightly and said hatefully, "After interrogation, I found out that I had fled back to Japan." ”

"This ......"

Zheng Chenggong didn't understand a little, "What does Master Hou mean?" ”

"The prince knows that the hearts of people who are not of my race will be different, and once these new firearms are lost overseas, they will inevitably have endless troubles,"

Lin Xiao's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice, "This matter is not trivial, in order to get rid of future troubles, Lin Xiao swears that he will pursue the rebellion, not arrest this person, and recover this batch of rifles, Lin Xiao will never stop!" ”

"You mean ......"

Zheng Chenggong was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xiao with wide eyes.

"That's right! After driving the Tartars out of the customs, they will surely cross east to Japan and chase down the murderer! ”

Lin Xiao nodded, and said word by word, "For this reason, I will not hesitate to start a war with the Japanese shogunate!" ”

At this point, Lin Xiao really couldn't explain the reason for the war more bluntly in front of Zheng Chenggong.

He knew that even if he didn't consider the fact that Zheng Chenggong's mother was Japanese, how would people in this era know that the Japanese, who were closed off from the country, would have a Meiji Restoration three hundred years later, and then they would be consumed by lust for profit and beastly nature, bringing incomparably painful disasters to their former teacher, the Chinese nation.

Only those who have experienced the tragic history of later generations can clearly realize that the Japanese! And the clansmen! Always so mean! Always love to extend the claws of evil to a neighbor with a strip of water!

In fact, since ancient times, this resource-poor island nation has been very short-sighted, and has never had a real strategist, never perceived the general trend of the world, and their national strategy is two words - "gamble!" If you win the bet, it is awesome, and if you lose the bet, it is a sandwall.

Thankfully, in hindsight, the nation never won a bet.

However, now, Lin Xiao won't even give them the opportunity to gamble - in order to never suffer in the future, even if there is no reason, destroying this nation is already in Lin Xiao's plan.

"What does Master Hou mean...... ...... Japan Also part of my empire? ”

After a brief shock, Zheng Chenggong said hesitantly, "This matter ...... Is it urgent? ”

"I'm in a hurry, I'm worried that in time, they may be able to imitate this rifle,"

Lin Xiao said with a wry smile, "Perhaps, they will collude with Westerners to imitate together, and it will really be ...... Lord Wang, we're in trouble. ”

"Okay,"

Zheng Chenggong raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, nodded and said, "It's just that this matter is not small, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not work too hard and put the cart before the horse......"

Zheng Chenggong still doesn't quite understand that at the moment of the great enemy, half of the country is still in the hands of the Tartars, this Qinchuan Marquis not only rashly offended the Westerners, why is he still in a hurry to conquer Japan, isn't this an enemy on all sides?

"When it comes to labor, at the moment, the most lacking thing is manpower,"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled and said meaningfully, "I don't know if the prince is interested...... ......, who is also the governor of Japan, "please Baidu" throw the book network " Thank you for your support!
