"Pack it up, the Third Fleet is temporarily stationed in Saigon, guarding the waters on the inner side of this sea area from Manila to Koh Gong Island, expanding to Manila's straight line to the Treasure Island State, and the sea area from the Trench Gate Border to the Treasure Island State is guarded by the Third Fleet's remaining fleet." Zhang Qiang said to Pei Lan, who came over.

Kodak said anxiously: "What about the Fifth Fleet?" ”

He is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, I don't know if Liu Taiyun is dead or alive, but the Fifth Fleet can't be presided over by no one, and he still thinks that he has made a big mistake, even if the Fifth Fleet has a big mistake, he can also be promoted to the chief soldier of the Fifth Fleet by virtue of his merits.

Zhang Qiang glanced at Kodak, "Go back and take the two hundred ships that were captured, oh, by the way, I also captured a lot of ships before, although so many ships are old, but there are quite a few, there are more than three hundred, you repair them as soon as possible, use as many as you can, lead them to the Fourth Fleet one after another, and you will take over as the chief of the Fourth Fleet, plus the remaining ships of the Fourth Fleet and the ships of the harbor guard, almost more than four hundred."

Your task is to defend the sea area from Annam Yan Harbor to Xisha to Manila on Luzon Island called Guevara and then turn back to the Dongsha Islands until this side of the Trench Gate, and your mission is to exist as a reserve force of the Third Fleet in this area, ready to support them at any time.

Xie Lan of the Fourth Fleet was transferred to the chief of the Fifth Fleet and temporarily took over the ships and manpower of the Third Fleet in Saigon. Your mission is still to defend the line from the middle line that extends from the Trench Gate Realm to the Treasure Island Prefecture and the South China Sea. ”

At this time, Pei Lan stopped doing it, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this time we dispatched the warships and warships of the Trench Gate Realm, and also dispatched more than 300 warships and warships, where do I only have more than 100 warships and warships, how can I defend such a large territory?" This time there are nearly 3,000 nautical miles, and there is a Spaniard with the ability to counterattack in the middle, as well as Zheng Zhi's fleet, he may not have a few ships, but he got the territory of the eldest prince and the second prince, where they still have at least more than 50 merchant ships, and if it is refitted, it is a force to be reckoned with, in such a long sea area, we can't prevent it. ”

"Then won't you rest for a few days and then take your soldiers and horses to clean up the territory of the eldest prince and the second prince, and then land on Palawan?" Zhang Qiang asked rhetorically.

Then he said to Xie Lan: "Rest for a few days, cooperate with the general army of Peilan, take Palawan, and then transfer your garrison to Palawan and cut off this route for me." ”

Then he said to Kodak: "Restore the strength as soon as possible, integrate the nearby warships and warships, Saigon, Yangang, Qiongdao, Xisha, Dongsha, these points of inner line defense are supported by me, and not a single enemy ship is allowed to slip over." ”

Perrin said: "What about those islands that were laid? ”

Zhang Qiang said: "Leave it to Xie Lan's garrison for defense, leave your naval team and marine team here, the territory of the eldest prince and the second prince of the garrison, for the time being, it is up to the three of you to stabilize the situation in this area." I have to go back and see, what happened to the Zheng family's boy, this time the losses were big, after such a huge battle, not only the loss of personnel, pensions, the cost of manufacturing these warships, the annual maintenance costs, but also the cost of repairing those damaged warships and warships, the cost of replenishing soldiers and sailors, gunners, and commanders, this time it had to make the Zheng family bleed. ”

After explaining this, Zhang Qiang took the Huaxia fleet, twenty-two warships, nine auxiliary ships, three of which were seriously injured, and two auxiliary ships were also seriously injured, and they were all towed to Saigon for temporary repairs, and after the repairs were completed, they were driven back to the Guangdong Prefecture Shipyard to be repaired again, because there was no ability to repair these ships here, so they could only be repaired simply, and then they could be repaired back and repaired, because there was no way to repair the iron frame, there was no refitting of the smashed twisted iron sheets, and there were no cannons on the new warships.

So they can only simply plug the leak, replace it with wooden planks, and then replace it with a small mast, which can temporarily allow them to move, and then let the warship escort the shipyard in Guangdong Prefecture to overhaul.

With the Huaxia battleship, he went back in a mighty way, and it was handed over to the three original fleet commanders, it seems that there were two, Xie Lan was demoted, he was a deputy general, and he was under the management of Peilan.

Hurriedly, hurried away.

After three days of sailing, Zhang Qiang came to the Trench Gate Realm with the scarred Huaxia fleet, and the entire Trench Gate Realm had been filled with ships from the Huaxia Kingdom, which were under the protection of the Huaxia Naval Division, and then along the coast, transporting supplies and doing business.

However, because there is no foreign trade in the Huaxia Kingdom, foreign trade is generally not allowed except for licensed smuggling officials and merchants, and without a license, the Huaxia sailors can sink their ships on the spot, and even confiscate the materials Zhang Qiang is not allowed, because Zhang Qiang hates those who do not allow the behavior of the enemy.

These smugglers, those who do not have a license, may be enemies, or sympathetic to the enemy, or they may be scum who want to make a fortune and dig into the corners of the Huaxia Kingdom, so these acts can only be solved by one way, sink and kill everyone.

Zhang Qiang won't let them mend their ways, give them a chance, then don't betray the adage that being merciful to the enemy is cruelty to oneself?

Maybe in the future, Huaxia will lack everything, but now in the era of agricultural economy, the territory of the Huaxia Kingdom is enough to subsidize any shortcomings, there is the ideological education of the Huaxia Kingdom in spirit, and there is enough Huaxia Yuan as a material medium, they can make money with their ability, and then use the money to satisfy their own heart for wealth, and they can also buy any luxury goods that the Huaxia Kingdom can produce.

There is nothing to be sorry for them, and what the people outside lack is the rich living goods of the Huaxia Kingdom, gold and silver, and all kinds of materials.

They are trafficking these out to the enemy, and it is very likely that someone is trafficking ore, timber, firearms, gunpowder, saltpeter, and other items, and now these are embargoed materials, which is an act of the enemy.

After Zhang Qiang went ashore, he immediately came to the fortress of the former Portuguese governor, took a good bath in the bedroom reserved for him in advance, and then rested for a day, slept for a day, fought for half a month, and drifted on the sea all day, he was also tired.

The entire fleet went to the largest shipyard in Guangzhou Prefecture along the river at the mouth of the sea to repair, and the Huaxia fleet was also not badly damaged, although it was protected by iron sheets, but after all, they had to withstand the smashing of durian big iron lumps, and it was very uncomfortable for the iron sheets to be smashed, many of them fell off, or they were pitted, which had to be repaired slowly by the shipyard.

Governor Tong Dawei, who was in charge of Guangdong Prefecture, came, and had been waiting for a day, so Zhang Qiang brought him first.

"Minister, Tong Dawei knocks on Your Majesty." Tong Dawei was wearing a satin robe and a Ming Dynasty official hat, but the official hat had a nondescript eastern pearl, and at the same time a small piece of red embroidered next to it, with a hexagonal shape on it.

This is the dress worn by the officials of the Huaxia Kingdom that Zhou Congee and they did.

Zhang Qiang didn't care, he didn't have the ability to govern at all.

"Well, it's okay in Guangdong Prefecture in recent years, right?" Zhang Qiang greeted Tong Dawei like an old friend.

"This, this, well, it's good, I just miss Your Majesty so much." Tong Dawei said with a smile.

Zhang Qiang smiled, he was still very tolerant of his old subordinates, and after letting Tong Dawei sit down, Zhang Qiang asked: "Zheng Keshuang should have communicated with you this time, what is the main purpose of his visit, and has he explained Zheng Zhi's behavior to us?" ”

Tong Dawei lowered his head, then looked up at Zhang Qiang, "Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong is dead." I heard that he was angry with the eldest son Zheng Jing, because the eldest son wanted to snatch his throne, and also hated us very much, now, Australia is out of control, Zheng Keshuang is supporting us, so he escaped with his subordinates, I heard Zheng Keshuang say that Zheng Chenggong's other sons are also dissatisfied with Zheng Jing, the Zheng family fell apart, and now it is in a civil war, those who have the ability have run away, and those who are not capable have been killed by Zheng Jing, this Zheng Zhi knew Zheng Jing's actions very early, so he launched an attack on us, which Zheng Keshuang guessed. ”

Zhang Qiang held his forehead and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever verified it?" Is what Zheng Keshuang said true? ”

Tong Dawei said: "This Weichen has sent people to inquire carefully among the people who came with them, it seems to be true, and at the same time, Weichen has inquired about the military intelligence department in the station, and the military intelligence department has noticed the abnormality of the Zheng family, but he never thought that it was such a thing, so he did not report it." ”

Zhang Qiang said to the attendants beside him: "Order Mi Lin to come to me immediately and send our clippers to pick him up as fast as possible." ”

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Qiang asked Mi Lin to set up a military intelligence department in Baodao Prefecture to monitor the Zheng family, which was used to infiltrate the Zheng family and the Taixi people, and Du Ge them.

Now that things have happened for half a month, Zhang Qiang's thoughts have figured out some things, if Zheng Chenggong is alive, he may not have a quarrel with the Huaxia Kingdom in his eyes, but his sons are different, there is no sense of belonging, Zheng Jing is still a child born to a Japanese woman, growing up in Japan, and he has no sense of belonging to the Han people, so he will not like his Huaxia Kingdom.

And Zheng Zhi actually didn't stay in the Huaxia Kingdom for a few days, he may have really been ordered to come before, he asked him to implement Zheng Keshuang's agreement with himself, but after Zheng Zhi came, he occupied Palawan Island and had his own support, and they were estranged from Du Ge in Nanyang in the early stage, thinking about fighting Du Ge and them, and at the same time, because he wanted to gather the power of Luzon, he adjusted the sequence of these things, and wanted to use the support of the Huaxia Kingdom to fight with the Spaniards.

But then he knew about Zheng Chenggong's death, and knew about Zheng Jing's conspiracy, so he wavered, at this time Du Ge just thought of plotting against him and contacting him to deal with the Huaxia Kingdom, and the two hit it off, so there was the destruction of the Fifth Fleet, and the sailor fleet besieging the Huaxia Kingdom.

Some things, in hindsight, are really the same thing, if these are true, then it would be a pity, it is really a matter of people to make things happen.

Zheng Chenggong's death was too inopportune.

What about living for more than ten years?
