After knowing Zheng Zhi's needs, Zhang Qiang asked rhetorically: "I need to know when what Zheng Keshuang said can be achieved, now it's been half a year, you have been here for two months, when can you send your troops, first gain a foothold in Cambodia, and then go to Siam to occupy a piece of territory, and besiege those kingdoms and forces in Siam with my people." ”

Zheng Zhi said: "If Your Majesty can support us with some more ships, we can bring our troops as soon as possible, and then start the landing, I could have sent people to transport thousands of troops to occupy Kogong Island first, and send most of my fleet to be stationed there, but now I only have fifty warships and warships, and I have fought a battle with the Dutch, so I really can't separate where to land." ”

"Okay, but this is what you bought, and you will have to pay me back when you have the money in the future, how many warships and warships are you going to buy?"

Zhang Qiang asked.

Zheng Zhi smiled: "It depends on how much Your Majesty sells to us." ”

Zhang Qiang called the people in the attendant room, and there were people who were specifically responsible for this aspect, "How many warships and warships does the Fifth Fleet have now?" ”

"This, Your Majesty, after selling the third prince again last time, there are only three hundred and eighty ships left in the Fifth Fleet, and the Sixth Fleet is even more pitiful, there are only one hundred and eighty left, if it weren't for the two hundred merchant ships to support it, the Sixth Fleet would be finished. Even if each fleet gave them a hundred, it would only be four hundred and eighty and three hundred and eighty ships respectively. ”

"Do you count how many ships are under ten years old for our sailors, and how many ships are under nine years old?" Zhang Qiang said.

The attendant went out, and Zhang Qiang and Zheng Zhi began to talk about other things.

Zheng Zhi smiled while chatting with Zhang Qiang about the construction of Australia today, "Your Majesty, now we can mine one million tons of iron ore every year, and we use 100,000 tons for our own use, all of which are to build agricultural tools and weapons, and the others are used for some civilian use, and the others are stacked there, waiting to be shipped here for export to you, the reason why we can mine so much is because Your Majesty continues to support our Japanese, and we have also captured some local aborigines in Australia for us to mine. They are still using stones and sticks, which are much more primitive than we can say. ”

"Hehe," Zhang Qiang could only laugh, after the construction of Australia by the British colonialists, and then the construction of millions of Han people, and finally shed blood for the British in World War II, but at that time, the Australians were no longer the Australian indigenous Australia, it was someone else's Australia, and he took advantage of the present to eliminate more indigenous people for others, and in the future, people would have to get more Han people to go over, wouldn't it be better?

"We must develop more population and strive to occupy the whole of Australia, Australia, which is bigger than our China." Zhang Qiang said with a smile.

Zheng Zhi shrugged his shoulders, he didn't want to stay any longer, he was really backward, he couldn't see people for hundreds of miles, he was about to suffocate him, when he came to Palawan, he could go to Puluo Island for a walk, where the Han people were so kind, and he could go back to Huaxia when he was fine, this is his hometown, his hometown, although where they went was because their Zheng family was forced away by the people in front of them, but he didn't hate Zhang Qiang at all, the capable person occupied the throne, he had no ambition to compete for the throne with the Huaxia Kingdom, but he hoped to be near Palawan, Or gain a foothold near Southeast Asia.

Zheng Chenggong is getting older and older, although his actual age is not very old, not even fifty this year, but he already looks like he is in his last years, he has been hit a lot, his grandfather, his mother, and the Ming and Longwu dynasties have all been destroyed, and finally he even lost the treasure island state, and he couldn't beat the Dutch when he moved to Nanyang, so he had to listen to Zhang Qiang's words, went to find Australia, spent nearly five years to find Australia, and spent two years of hard work to prepare. It took him five years to build it, and now it's just beginning to take shape.

But now that his eldest brother and second brother are fighting for the throne too hard, he has no mind to stay anywhere.

Therefore, this time I took the initiative to help this youngest brother to complete the task assigned by Zhang Qiang, the king of China, and at the same time, it was also to establish a channel from Australia to China, and to raise materials, money, food, and population for the development of Australia.

"This may not work, our population is not enough, 1 million Japanese population, 600,000 Han population, 300,000 Southeast Asian population, 100,000 Nanyang indigenous population, plus only 10,000 Australian aborigines are willing to submit to us, this population is not even the population of a province here in our place, even if we add the population of Palawan Island here, 3,000 people, 15,000 troops, and 2,000 naval divisions, the population cannot be counted as a population at all." Zheng Zhi shook his head.

Zhang Qiang sneered secretly, this guy is still tender, his mind Zhang Qiang knew that the Ministry of Military Intelligence had already investigated the situation of the Zheng family, although he didn't know the specific struggle and mental activities between their brothers, but he knew that Zheng Zhi came out this time to gain his own strength.

Palawan now he only occupies the two islands below and a port, and he does not occupy the island above, where there are Spanish troops stationed, and there are several Spanish warships cruising, he can't beat those warships, but he can't beat the Spanish naval fleet in Manila.

But if you don't want to get involved in Manila, you can let him go, let him help the Han people there, and it's good to lead the Han people wherever they resist.

However, he went to war with Spain, so his Southeast Asian strategy will be affected, where to find a big boss to help Li Yuanyin and them contain Du Ge and them, Du Ge's development is now getting stronger and stronger, 30,000 regular army of Han troops, 60,000 indigenous troops, they are now equipped with a single flintlock gun, this is more powerful than the surrounding natives, maybe they can destroy the indigenous kingdoms in Cambodia, where to gather forces, can also destroy the dynasty in Thailand.

After listening to Zheng Zhi's words, Zhang Qiang said: "It's just right, what about us, here we have captured 600,000 Japanese people through battles, and the natives of Southeast Asia over there have died and attacked us again, and our Ma Sanli Field Army crossed the border to Siam, cleaned them up, and got 300,000 Siamese indigenous people, plus 30,000 rebel prisoners in Cambodia, as well as some of the family members and officials of our traitor Du Ge, and where are their 1,000 Han people, if you can, these are sold to you cheaply, 10,000 tons of ore, 3,000 tons of guano, If you think it's okay, the next time your trading ship comes, we will deduct it from it, and we don't need you to pay for it, we just need to report it to your father and agree. ”

Zheng Zhi is very happy, if he can leave some of these people, then he can establish a lot of power in Palawan, at least he can organize tens of thousands of Japanese cannon fodder troops, but he has heard about the methods of the third prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, get tens of thousands of militia servant army, in fact, it is cannon fodder with war experience, and when the time comes, he can get an Australian servant army, and at the same time, the families of these people can be held in their hands, let them work for themselves, kill most of the people, and finally leave thousands of elites into the regular army.

Anyway, the Zheng family's troops are a hodgepodge.

The Zheng family has a set of their own methods on how to integrate these people.
