Chapter 181: The Sailor Enters the East China Sea
Chen Xiong did not attend the second military-government-civilian conference. After all, the scene of thousands of people will take a long time.
This year, the main tasks of the military government are to collect taxes on surplus grain and stabilize the situation in various parts of Guangxi, and it is also the first year of the handover of the old and new officials of the prefecture and county yamen.
This year, Chen Xiong plans to take a good rest for another year, and I'm afraid Nanming won't last long after next year!
Although the military, government, and people from all walks of life were not 100 percent satisfied, the military government and all walks of life compromised and discussed with each other at the conference. After the conference, the worries of the gentry and landlords were alleviated a lot, after all, the king of Han did not kill them all.
After the conclusion of this military, government, and civilian conference, it was called the conference on the transformation of agriculture into industry and commerce. The military government planned for the gentry and landlords, and in the future their interests would be shifted to industry and commerce, maritime trade, and service industries, and the interests of the land must not be lightly moved.
The successful development of looms, spinning machines, steel furnaces, cement, soap, glass, etc., also allowed the gentry and landlords to see the prospects of industry and commerce. The Manchu Qing in the north was strong, and the Ming in the south was weak, and they were unwilling to be traitors and could only reluctantly stay under the rule of the Lingnan military government.
After the Lantern Festival, 300,000 troops entered Guiqing to suppress the mountains and forests of Guangxi, and the gentry leaders even deliberately closed the information. They didn't dare to resist the Han king, but it was better to use the mountain people and local tyrants to give them an outlet for their evil spirits.
The local overlords are still in self-isolation, not knowing that they have become victims of Lingnan rule.
Fuzhou.
The Zheng family, who completely controls the military and political affairs of Fujian, no longer has an invincible domineering spirit today. The Zheng family has 60,000 sailors, 100,000 elite infantry, plus guards from all over the country, and the entire Zheng family is already a big warlord with 300,000 mercenaries. Nanming was unable to take over Fujian's military affairs and let the Zheng family toss, and now the whole of Fujian has become Zheng Zhilong's private fief.
"Big brother, why don't you withdraw Jianghuai's sailors!" Zheng Zhihu is very unwilling!
Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "The 20,000 sailors of Jianghuai have stifled the Manchu Qing Dynasty from crossing the river, and once they evacuate the Holy Lord, they will definitely blame us!" β
The current Nanming is still strong, and the Jiangxi Ming Army alone makes Fujian dare not despise it!
"Hey! Could it be that the Penghu Islands were occupied by the Han army? Zheng Zhihu was very angry! The Zheng family's naval division was divided into four to protect Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and Ben could not spare much troops to support Penghu.
Zheng Zhilong frowned and looked at Zheng Sen!
Zheng Sen knows what his father means! "Uncle! The Han army is strong! Even if we defeat the Han army sailors in Penghu, the result may not be good! β
Zheng Zhilong nodded, Sen'er still didn't disappoint him! "Ah Hu, although the Eighth Army of the Han Dynasty entered Guizhou, the Han Army and 20,000 cavalry were stationed in Chaozhou! If the king of Han is angered, Lingnan must have an excuse to go north! Our army is newly built, and it is not suitable for war! β
Zheng Zhihu smiled bitterly! He was stationed on the southern front of Fujian, so he naturally knew that the soldiers were not worthy of a battle!
"Hey! This Han army is becoming more and more difficult to control! β
Zheng Zhilong nodded, he was also powerless in the face of the Han army! Even the sailor didn't dare to say that he could defeat the Han fleet! In particular, the South China Sea Fleet made the Xiyi people dare not provoke.
Zheng Sen pondered for a moment and finally said his thoughts: "Father and uncle, the King of Han has always focused on destroying the Tartars!" As long as we temporarily forbear, the purpose of the King of Han is to be Nanjing and the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Compared with the mountainous areas of Fujian, Hunan is the marching route of the Han army! Now the princes of Nanjing are just surviving! In the future, on the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be the desperate struggle between the Han army and the Qing army! You only need to hand over the king of Han, and if necessary, march to Jiangdong to resist the Qing Dynasty. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty was immortal, the King of Han did not dare to touch my Zheng family! If the Han army and the Qing army are both defeated, my Zheng family can even enter and occupy Jianghuai in the Han and Qing dynasties! The world is changing, how do you know who is in charge of ups and downs! β
Zheng Sen's eyes are like torches, and Wang Tu's hegemony is all in his words!
Zheng Zhihu clenched his fists, as if he had seen the avenue of Tongtian!
"Good! My son lives up to expectations! The Han army is powerful but the situation is changing, and there will always be a time when the Han king loses power! Give up the Penghu Islands first! And the support that was cut off from the Japanese Kou! "Zheng Zhilong naturally has his strategic plan, and if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan!
Zheng Zhihu nodded in agreement, and now the Zheng family can only be dormant temporarily!
Fuzhou agreed, but Penghu was very unwilling.
Penghu General Shi Dawei was Zheng Zhilong's former first fierce general, but unfortunately after Zheng Zhilong betrayed the Eighteen Zhi Alliance, the two have gone farther and farther!
"Chief soldier, the Zheng family's fleet is gone, when will we leave!" There are nearly 1,000 warships on the sea, and it is dense and difficult to see at a glance!
There are a total of 15,000 pirate soldiers in Penghu, of which 10,000 are the descendants of the Shi family and the real masters of the Penghu Islands.
The lieutenant general is also very unwilling! They have settled in Penghu for ten years! A word of order asks them to evacuate, how can they be willing!
"How many fleets did the Han army come?" Shi Dawei is unwilling, this Penghu is his territory and his foundation, but the Han army will take away everything from him in a word!
The deputy chief soldier frowned and said, "It is estimated that there are seven or eight hundred warships, and there are six giant gunboats that look like foreigners!" It is reported that the two fleets of the Han army have a total of 60,000! β
Sixty thousand! Shi Dawei gritted his teeth! Fuzhou can't go back, and if you go back, you will be killed by Zheng Zhilong sooner or later!
"Let the brethren all get on the boat, let's go to Xiaoliuqiu to meet Yamaki-kun! From the old business! "Fuzhou can't go back, Shi Dawei can only go to the East China Sea to find an alliance with old friends!
"Honorable Order." The deputy general is happy, this is exactly the life he likes.
Shi Dawei did not dare to surrender to the Han army, because it was his subordinates who secretly contacted the Japanese Kou! Let King Han know that he will definitely not end well with Shi Dawei!
"Brother Zheng! Yes! Zheng Zhilong! How many brothers and sisters have been killed by you! You still want me to die, but unfortunately you can only disappoint you! "Shi Dawei secretly hated! His subordinates are heartfelt towards him, and it is inevitable that they will be calculated by him!
The Penghu sailors and pirates left one after another, and the fleets in the open sea were not in a hurry and waited quietly! The muzzles of each cannon have also been loaded, and they can be fired at any time to destroy the incoming enemy.
Qiu Sen was a little regretful: "This Zheng family is too bearish!" β
"Oh, it's not! I thought they didn't want to go, so that their subordinates could train their troops well! Pity! This, Zheng Zhilong is more and more alive! "The Zheng family's pirates have been in the East China Sea for more than 20 years, and Zhou Li has long wanted to compete with them!
The two fleets entered Penghu, and then encircled the nearby pirates and pirates in the East China Sea. Except for the Zheng family or the Wako shogunate, there was no force in the East China Sea that could stop the attack of the First and Second Fleets.
After that, the two giants in the East China Sea were divided, and the pirates hiding in the Ryukyu Islands did not dare to go to sea easily. However, the situation is changing, and new forces are also rising!
Fuzhou.
"Big brother, this surnamed Shi really has a different heart! He allied with the rebels and the Japanese in the Ryukyus, and not only fought against the Han army with blood, but also listed my Zheng family as a target for revenge! "Zheng Zhihu was furious and angry, the rebellious remnants of the Eighteen Zhi Alliance had already formed an alliance! His Zheng family's sworn enemy has reappeared!
"What is the attitude of the major names?" Zheng Zhilong attaches more importance to the attitude of the major names in Dongying towards him! Do you still support it, or give it up!
Zheng Zhihu shook his head: "The big names are no longer the old brothers of the past, they say that they don't help each other!" But who doesn't know that many of the pirates are their subordinates! β
Zheng Zhilong sighed lightly, it seems that Dongying's alliance has completely broken down!
"Give their strongholds and bΔ«ng lΓ¬ bΓΉ shΗ to the Han army! Let the Han army eat the dog with them first! β
Zheng Zhihu Yile: "Haha! Let them dog-eat-dog! β
The Ryukyu Blood Alliance is dominated by pirates from the Wako and the East China Sea, with a total of 40,000 elite pirates, and more than 20,000 purebred pirates alone.
