After receiving the news, Hong Hongxiu and Hong Wenyi father and son, plus the ministers of the Xinlu State gathered in a stone house on New Zealand Island in the Xinlu State, this stone house is said to be left by the ancient people, but no matter how you look at it, there are traces of the Han people, the main hall, the left and right wings, there are shrines in the house, shrines for worshipping and burning incense, as well as kneeling mats, etc., stone tables made of stone, according to the older generation, this may be the place where the Song people who went to sea after the death of the Song Dynasty once lived.

The Xinlu country has gone through several ups and downs, there are no virtuous ministers, and there are no capable generals, all things are decided by the Hong family father and son, and the level of the people below is a martial artist who does not know a few words, the population is only four million, and the land occupied is a barren archipelago, although there is a group of old soldiers with rich sailing experience, but the lack of experience in naval warfare, there is no civilian official in governance, and it is actually very hard.

The Hong family is a family of poetry and books, a civil official, but most of the people led by them are reckless and vulgar, and it is actually difficult to settle down and recuperate and cultivate literati to govern the country. The Huaxia Army has determined a core rear from the era of the Jinhua Righteous Army, and the rear has never experienced a war since it was determined, and now it has been more than 30 years, cultivating generations of literati and writers, from the literati who can bring a knife to the battlefield to slash and kill, to the scholars and literati who do not know how to cut and kill with a sword, generation after generation has lost their blood and force, but they are proficient in humanities, geography, skills, poetry and books, because there are various tasks to open up the wasteland, so they can become a generation of herdsmen after training.

For the Chinese Empire to manage civil affairs, open up literature and art, cultural wilderness, so that an empire based on military has gradually changed to the Han civilization of the Japanese, there are a lot of people who use their brains, people who can advise on ideas, the influence of the Hong family in this aspect of the war, has never been stable, so there are very few literati, most of them are Nanyang merchants, Qing scholars, or some enlightened family members of Japan and Southeast Asian aborigines, these people were captured by the Huaxia Army and sold to the Hong family, becoming the team of the Hong family, but there are very few talents among these people, can also be an official, and he doesn't even have the qualifications of a county official.

The father and son of the Hong family are busy and tired for this country, this time in the face of such a strong enemy, a Zheng Jing they can no longer cope with it, this time there are although heavy losses, the loss of colonies, but there are still nearly 100 large warships, thousands of soldiers and horses of the Dutch and British, can't help but have a big headache.

Zheng Jing's population strength is already nearly 10 million, more than 6 million Japanese, more than 2 million Southeast Asian natives, Nanyang natives, even if their population gets 300,000 soldiers and civilians on Leyte Island, it is only more than 4 million to 5 million.

The territory received some Spaniard, British, and Dutch colonies on the south and east coasts of Australia, and some of the populations were arranged where, leaving two million people on the island and 300,000 on the island of Papua New Guinea, and the territory was divided by nearly two thousand nautical miles, and the population was unevenly distributed, and the strength and output were uneven everywhere, and it was difficult to do so.

The island of Papua New Guinea has nearly 100 captured 100-ton merchant ships of Zheng Jing, which are used to carry out various guerrilla battles with Zheng Jing and defend the island.

Here in New Zealand, the shipyard that has just built a three-hundred-ton armed merchant ship, which was obtained from Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi sent craftsmen and personnel to help them build a shipyard in order to ask for their help, and the materials helped them build a shipyard, in the past, they only had a dock that could repair ships, but there were no craftsmen, and they could not build ships, but now they have craftsmen and can build ships, but their production is limited, and they cannot be consumed with Zheng Jing's Australian kingdom.

I thought that this time I would get some people from Leyte and Cebu, and my strength would be stronger, and I would get the enemy's craftsmen, prisoners, and the shipyard would be upgraded to a warship shipyard, and three new shipyards would be built, which could manufacture armed merchant ships and three-hundred-ton warships and five-hundred-ton merchant ships, but I didn't expect the enemy to be even stronger.

I thought that I had got two hundred enemy armed merchant ships, merchant ships, warships, warships, sail warships, ironclad ships, and their strength would surpass Zheng Jing, but I didn't expect the Dutch and the British to come.

There are only 500 merchant ships in New Zealand, 200 armed merchant ships, more than 100 warships, and more than 80 warships, and after this sortie obtained the enemy's ships, the warships were repaired and replenished to 100, and the warships were also replenished to more than 50, and the armed merchant ships were even more than 100, and there were dozens more merchant ships.

"Father, it's better for us to take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet returned, first attack Zheng Jing's Australian kingdom, Darwin port is difficult to overcome, we first take their original Dutch settlements on the west coast, surround the north shore from the east, west, south, three directions, send troops and horses to attack the enemy from land and sea, and at the same time send the fleet of Papua New Guinea Island to attack Darwin port, try to consume the current strength of the Australian kingdom, seize the enemy's ships and population, and strengthen our defenses at the same time." Hong Wenyi gritted his teeth and said.

Hong Hongxiu said: "Also, this time we have more than 100,000 prisoners, select a group of Taixi prisoners to be incorporated into our fleet, operate the state boat for us, and those who do not obey will be thrown to the savages on the island, let them consume these prisoners, and the others will be sent to build fortifications and strengthen the port. ”

"You go to the islands of Papua New Guinea to command the battle, there are still two months, before the enemy returns, you must try to weaken the enemy's strength in Australia, and let us take action to provoke the relationship between the indigenous people of Southeast Asia and the Han people in Nanyang, so that the servant army in Southeast Asia will have friction with the Han people in Nanyang, and then they will definitely send the Japanese servant army to suppress it, and then provoke the Japanese to rebel, attack the soldiers and horses of the Han people and the soldiers and horses of the Zheng family in Nanyang, and let the kingdom of Australia be in chaos first.

Those Nanyang merchants are generally short-sighted, we can buy and use, let them do things for us, don't be afraid to spend money, as long as the Australian kingdom is in chaos, the longer the better, when the time comes, Zheng Jing will come back, and we will have to clean up the mess first, so that we will have the opportunity to continue to repair the warships and sail battleships of the Taixi people who have been pulled back, those are really good ships, especially the five damaged ironclad ships, I am afraid that even the Huaxia sailors will have a headache when they encounter them. ”

Hong Wenyi said with a smile: "Father, we can organize a royal fleet composed of five ironclad ships and thirty of their warships, plus fifteen of our warships, under the command of my father himself, what a powerful combat force it is, even the old First Fleet of the Huaxia Army does not dare to fight easily." ”

"Okay, very good, you go down and do it, and at the same time choose a fleet of yours, form a slightly inferior fleet, and go to the islands of Papua New Guinea to attack the Kingdom of Australia, but the main thing is to take advantage of Zheng Jing's absence to create an enemy for the Kingdom of Australia, and the main force is still those Japanese, just like we did with your third uncle, let their islands be in chaos."
