Chapter 536: Zheng Chenggong's powerlessness

On Gulangyu Island, Zheng Chenggong sat in the lobby and looked outside in a daze.

Seeing that there was no hope of returning to his hometown, there was no hope of recovering the Ming Dynasty, he was living overseas, although he had 200,000 troops and 1,000 warships, but he could not help the Chinese army, some time ago he led the fleet to Malacca, Luzon and other places, and fought with the Taisi people for a long time, obtained a lot of overseas stations, established many trading stations, and at the same time established contact with the weakened Spaniards, and the two sides resumed trade and relations.

Later, the British, Portuguese, and Dutch came to him, contacted him, restored relations, and after several talks, an agreement was reached, and he became a sea overlord like his father Zheng Zhilong, and established his own patrol system around the treasure island, as well as outside the 100 nautical miles of the overseas patrol of the Huaxia army, and the passing merchant ships and warships had to pay to him, and even some places where the Zheng army was stationed in Manila, Brunei, Malacca and other places, those Taixi people obeyed the regulations to pay him.

It is said that the kingdom he established is more powerful than his father, and he should be happy, but he knows that these are not as good as one-tenth of the strength of the Huaxia army, as long as the Huaxia army wants to take it, it can be taken away at any time, and the reason why the Huaxia army did not take it away is because the Huaxia army is determined to be inland, to the Ming Dynasty, to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and to recover the Han people.

He was jealous and helpless, he didn't know why Huaxia Jun was so powerful.

Since the relationship with the Huaxia Army broke down, there was a shortage of goods and goods here, and the Taixi people had urged him to buy goods several times, but he could only get some through the smuggling of the Qing army and the trade of the Southern Ming Kingdom, but most of the goods were of good quality and low price, and the Huaxia Army was the best.

The silk of the Huaxia Army is smooth, tough, and strong, and will not be easily torn and worn, and the price is cheap, which is better than the silk he bought in the Ming Dynasty before, and he doesn't know how the Huaxia Army did it.

Huaxia Army's tea is no longer the kind of loose tea before, but there is loose tea, relatively low, low price, there is the best tea, good packaging, pure taste, a package has Huaxia Yuan 1,000 yuan, this kind of tea has changed the habit of Taixi people to drink tea, so that Taixi people are no longer garlic, spices, everything to add to the tea that the way of drinking tea, but learn from the Ming people, carefully taste, for this way, the Taixi people obviously prefer more than the Ming people, how much to supply, can be ten times, a hundred times to sell.

The creativity of the Huaxia Army is simply the first in the Ming Dynasty, and it is simply impossible to imagine with ordinary people's minds.

This is his evaluation of the Huaxia Army.

But now that he has shown his support for Nanming Longwu, how can he reconcile with the Huaxia Army?

Relations between the two sides have reached the point of saber rattling, and the two sides have deployed hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, and there is a great possibility that they will start fighting if they disagree.

With the rupture of relations with the Huaxia Army, Baozhongfu in the face of the Huaxia Army also closed the border, Chen Bing responded, and most of his warships also attacked Baozhongfu from the east and west, and there were almost seven or eight hundred warships facing the fleet of the Huaxia Army.

Although that fleet was only a fleet, there were no less than a thousand ships, and the 1,000-ton warship newly built by the Guanghua Huaxia Army had 96 guns, 100 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, and its speed reached an astonishing speed of eight knots, which was one section faster than the Guangzhou ship.

The speed is fast, the artillery is powerful, the crew is said to have more than 500 people, more than 200 sailors to operate the ships and artillery, more than 200 soldiers who are called the Naval Corps to fight in gangs, and more than 100 miscellaneous servants, so that this warship is almost untouchable.

The Tessians called it a first-class battleship, and it was said that only their empress had three of these ships.

And the fleet of the Huaxia Army has eight ships.

In the face of such eight warships, even if there are Taixi people who bought them, the Huaxia Army used to sell him the 500 Galen battleships of the Taixi people, he also knows that he can't compete with the Huaxia Army's naval division, and those eight battleships alone can sweep all his warships, not to mention that the Huaxia Army also has an 800-ton battleship that is only smaller than this battleship, with 76 guns and a crew of more than 370 people, which is one or nine knots faster than this battleship, what kind of speed is this.

The fastest of all his warships is only a small canton ship, small in size, only ten meters long and three meters wide, this kind of canton ship can only run ten knots of speed, but the artillery on it can only tickle this kind of big warship, even if it is used as a fire attack ship, because the Huaxia army also has this kind of fast canton ship, they call it a traffic boat, and the speed reaches eleven knots.

The hull was taller, longer, wider, and more powerful than the one he had built.

There is a kind of cannon called a nine-pounder cannon by the Huaxia army on the bow and stern of the ship, two six-pounder guns on each side, and six three-pounder guns in other places, which are used to clean the deck of the enemy's ship when jumping gangs, and the crew has more than 30 people.

The 1,000-ton ships of the Huaxia Army are equipped with eight ships per fleet, that is, the six fleets of the Huaxia Army, with a total of 48 thousand-ton ships, and such a large ship can destroy the country.

Moreover, the 800-ton warships, each fleet of the Huaxia Army is equipped with 12 ships, and the six fleets are 12 ships, if such two large ships lead 300 small ships to fight, he can only flee with the army, and he is helpless against the Huaxia Army.

Huaxia Jun was made by hedgehogs, he concluded.

Zheng Chenggong's think tank Feng Xin said to Zheng Chenggong: "The king of the county, the governors of the Taixi people jointly asked you to go to Batavia to discuss how to fight a decisive battle with the Huaxia army, and they came to say that the Taixi people united and once again gathered more than 200 warships from the west, with a strength of 5,000 troops, equipped with new muskets and artillery, and they said that if you can get the support of the county king, when the time comes, you will destroy the sailors of the Huaxia army, and take down Fujian Prefecture, Fujian Prefecture will be ruled by you, and the Huaxia army and sailors will be incorporated by you, and they will still do business with you and pay you tolls every year. ”

"In addition, they also said that they united with General Shi Lang, the naval division of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the Great Qingshui Division will also cooperate with us to fight, go west along the Yangtze River from Chongming Island, sweep the garrison fleet of the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Huaxia Army all the way, block the Yangtze River coast, create trouble for the Huaxia Army, and let the Huaxia Army look south infinitely, regardless of the head and tail, and mess up its own position."

"The Taixi people said that in the future, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Southern Ming Dynasty, you will be the king of the county, Fujian Prefecture will be yours, and the treasure island will also be yours, they will not want an inch of land in the Ming Dynasty, they only need to open a few ports and do business with them."

Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice: "Is there anything else? ”

Feng Xin shook his head, "No, the king of the county, the Taixi people are like this, where is the Nanming, the emperor asked us to increase the harassment of the Huaxia army, it is best to fight a few battles, so that the Huaxia army has no time to take care of them, they need to put down Li Dingguo's rebellion first." ”
