Zheng Zhi had no choice, he couldn't convince the two princes of the Hong family, and the eldest prince also strongly said that he couldn't attack anymore and needed his sailor to go.

Zheng Zhi was very disgusted that these two people from the Hong family were unreasonable, if it weren't for him, they would have been able to obtain so many warships of the Huaxia Army and Naval Division? Many of them were sold to them by Zheng Keshuang, as well as almost half of the ships that later fought the Qiongdao Detachment of the Fifth Fleet and the Fourth Fleet, so that they could sell their lives.

If it weren't for his whimsical contact with Du Ge and the British, the Dutch, would he have been able to form this alliance?

I don't know what to do, this is his opinion of the two Hong families, he decided to wait until the strength of the Huaxia army and naval division in this area was weakened, and then find the Hong family to vent, anyway, his current strength has been strengthened because of the assistance of the Huaxia Kingdom, 70,000 soldiers and horses, hundreds of thousands of Japanese people and Nanyang Han people, as well as some Southeast Asian indigenous population, 2,000 Palawan indigenous people and Han people, as well as the Dutch, Spanish immigrants, the strength is not small.

Seeing Zheng Zhi's eyes as if asking for help, Du Ge coughed, with some cynical smiles on his face, and said, "Well, the next time you lure the enemy in, you will go to Zheng Zhi's fleet."

You can split into two groups, one group of thirty or forty lost ships, go to the station of the Fifth Fleet to ask for help, and then follow the fleet of the Spaniards, the fleet of the Spaniards can send out about twenty ships, and also bring five or six ships that look wounded, and then Zheng Zhi Your fleet is ambushed thirty miles behind, and so on to gain the trust of the Fifth Fleet.

You can then use the fire signal to contact and go out to smash the enemy's lair, take the dock, destroy the enemy ships in the harbor, and of course take it better. ”

Hong Shiming asked, "What about us?" ”

Du Ge crossed his hands and pursed his lips, "Prince, you can guard Palawan Island for us near Palawan Island, and I will take the fleet to the sea to block the enemy's reinforcement fleet, this incident has happened, with Zhang Qiang's character, he will definitely not give up, and he will definitely mobilize the main force of his Third Fleet to come over, maybe they don't know our specific strength."

Therefore, I need to lead all our warships that can fight to intercept them, and the Spanish fleet will go with us, and the combined strength of the two ships is no less than that of the Third Fleet of the Huaxia Army's Naval Division, and I heard that because of the excessive sale of some old warships, the Third Fleet of the Huaxia Army now only has 600 warships and warships, and it is impossible for them to all be transferred here.

Perhaps 400 to 500 ships will be transferred, and that strength is the same as our current strength, we have 240 warships and warships here, plus 30 ships of the British, a total of 270 ships, where are the Spaniards have 180 ships, plus the 50 armed merchant ships of the Huaxia Army and Naval Division that Zheng Zhi promised to give them before, there are also 230 ships.

So we have five hundred ships in both armies, and if we use a sneak attack, well, the eldest prince, you still have to send a dozen ships to follow us and tempt them in front, otherwise they will know that we are hostile to them, and the Spaniards are also hostile, at least not friendly, and you dozen ships will hold them back, and in about an hour, we will be able to arrive, and then surround them on the left and right, so that we can annihilate them at sea. ”

The eldest prince looked at him, but secretly despised him in his heart, and was still afraid that we would attack your Palawan, so he weakened us.

But it doesn't matter if you want to capture your island, I will directly transfer troops and drown your people with infantry, and now there are more than 30,000 of your people who stayed in the western part of Luzon because they wanted to show Zhang Qiang of the Huaxia Kingdom, and 10,000 people fought on various islands of Borneo, and 5,000 people were imprisoned by the Dutch on Gogong Island, playing bitter tricks.

Now there are only 25,000 troops on Palawan, and they are scattered all over the island, and if I want to land, I only need to bring my troops and militia servants by boat, and I can take your Palawan, but it will not do me any good, it is just a small island.

The eldest prince nodded to Du Ge and glanced at Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi didn't look at him at all, in Zheng Zhi's eyes, this kind of person who failed the struggle was not worthy of his respect, he was very interested in Du Ge, he felt that the rebel general of the Chinese Kingdom had a very leader temperament.

The eldest prince was secretly angry, but there was no way, because it was Zheng Zhi who contacted the two losers, gave them opportunities and assistance, and took the opportunity to attack the Spaniards so that they could get the support of the Han people on Luzon and expand their strength.

Compared with Zheng Zhi, a vigorous young man, these people are already old, they are all middle-aged, and he is even considered to be in his twilight years.

None of his sons can take over from him, they are all some squirts, which makes him very troubled, even if he lays down thousands of miles?

Do you want to let a few showmen rule?

He is an example of a talented man ruling the Lu country, and as a result, he was driven away by the third child with a jumpy personality, if it weren't for the fact that their brothers were still very harmonious when they were young, they would probably kill their brothers like brothers in other dynasties fighting for the throne.

On the other side, the second prince was also coldly watching how this conspiracy against the Chinese Dynasty went on, but he did not speak, he was much more shrewd than the boss, the Chinese are generally the boss stupid filial piety, the second boss is shrewd, and the third thief has always been like this.

His son was not as calm as he was, and the little prince asked eagerly, "What about us?" Just this sentence, the second prince felt that his son had fallen into a subordinate position, and he got himself into a subordinate position, is this still the temperament and shrewdness that a person who fights for hegemony should have?

Du Ge swept the second prince, who had not spoken, and then said: "Your father and son's fleet went to the waters of Cam Ranh Bay to intercept the Fourth Fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom, Zhang emphasized the troops, the nearest is the Fourth Fleet, and the third fleet of the Trench Gate Realm is the garrison detachment again." You use deceptive means to see how many ships of the Fourth Fleet of the Chinese Army and Navy Division can be killed, and the second prince hides behind for more than ten miles, and when the little prince has a battle and is found out, you rush up and surround them. ”

After he finished speaking, Francis Drake, the commander of the Spanish fleet, who had not spoken, asked: "Du, we suffered heavy losses in yesterday's battle, how many warships will you give us after the battle, and what did you promise to trade with us?" ”

Du Ge said: "Colonel Drake, everything will be there, we know that you have suffered a lot of losses this time, don't worry, we will supply you, isn't it five armed merchant ships of 90 tons, seven armed merchant ships of 180 tons, and a 600-ton warship, the thirteen 600-ton warships we gave to your Huaxia Army and Navy Division earlier have already been given to you, and before that, you also got Zheng Zhi's 5 million Huaxia Yuan for the cost of sending troops, this should be enough, right?" ”

Drake laughed: "Du, we need to get more, we have a lot to lose. Never before had the Empire lost so many ships at once. ”

The Englishman Tyme laughed and said, "We Britons have sunk nearly a hundred of your Armada warships at once. ”

"You," was about to get angry, but was stopped by Major Morgan, and Drake sat down angrily.

Du Ge comforted: "Forget it, we will compensate you after the war, the trade of the Huaxia Kingdom, the various warships of the Huaxia Kingdom's naval division, give priority to replenishing your Spanish and British, okay." ”

The two Tessies nodded in satisfaction.

They don't care about anything else, they don't even want to take the lead in this conspiracy, they just want benefits, the interests of the British are in India, they came out this time to play soy sauce, and it is a surprise to be able to share dozens of warships, in the South Seas, the main contenders are the Dutch and the Spaniards, as well as Du Ge and Zheng Zhi in front of them, their consistent style is not to participate in complicated battles, but to like to provoke and obtain the benefits of fishermen.

After the meeting, everyone began to prepare for action according to the resolution.

Over there, as soon as it was dark, Zhang Qiang woke up from his sleep, they sailed for a while at night, found a small island near anchor and spent the night, the next day the fleet found that it was almost to the Fourth Fleet in Cam Ranh Bay, so they began to drive to the Fourth Fleet.

Two hours later, they were confronted by a patrol from Cam Ranh Bay, thirteen 1,000-ton warships, five 600-ton warships, fifteen 300-ton warships, and three 180-ton warships.

Zhang Qiang learned that the Fourth Fleet had left one-fifth of the fleet warships, and led more than 200 warships and warships to Qiongdao to carry out his orders.

Zhang Qiang immediately asked a 180-ton warship to go back and convey the order, asking them to send another seven 1,000-ton warships, 10 800-ton warships, and 15 300-ton warships to escort him, and he was going to the station of the Fifth Fleet.

In this way, Zhang Qiang had in his hands, twenty-eight thousand-ton warships, sixteen eight-hundred-ton warships, five six-hundred-ton warships, thirty three-hundred-ton warships, and three one-hundred-hundred-ton warships.

It's a pretty strong fleet.

Zhang Qiang did not mobilize 600-ton warships, and the base also needed to leave some backbones that could fight to protect and patrol the coastline.

Two hours passed, Zhang Qiang waited for the battleship he needed, and then turned around and went to the base of the Fifth Fleet.

A day and a half, Zhang Qiang came to the base of the Fifth Fleet, but only some old warships were patrolling here, and the warships of the original fleet were gone.

By asking the officers and soldiers left behind in the fleet here, the new warship was not deceived by the enemy and went out to destroy it with Liu Taiyun, and then Pei Lan, who came in time, took over the fleet and went out with the fleet to find himself.

Unfortunately, they don't know where they went, the vast sea, there are hundreds of nautical miles in any circle, even if they knew that Perrin must be looking for themselves along the route from Saigon to Qiong Island, but if they go out to find it now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to run into it.

They took twenty three-hundred-ton warships from the base, and the three-hundred-ton battleships could barely keep up with the minimum cruising speed of the new warships, which was eight knots.
