Zheng Jing was tinkering with an alliance, and when Hong Tiancang sent an envoy to the Huaxia Kingdom to buy a new ship, the second prince sent an envoy. He was also talking about the purchase of ships.

The battle with Zheng Jing's Australian kingdom caused Hong Hongxiu's warships and warships to lose too much, although there were more than 100 Zheng Jing's 100-ton warships and nearly 300 merchant ships captured by him in front, and they could also participate in the battle if they were transformed, but compared to Zheng Jing's strength, their strength was too insufficient.

Because of one thing, Zheng Jing's family can build their own ships, cannons, and guns, and their guns and ships need to be imported, and they can't resist Zheng Jing's attack by capturing and transforming merchant ships.

The hundreds of merchant ships at the beginning were almost transformed into armed merchant ships, and in several naval battles, Hong Hongxiu lost 200 transformed armed merchant ships, and Zheng Jing's loss was also a transformed armed merchant ship, but people had their own warships, although they were only about 100 tons, but they crushed the armed merchant ships he transformed, and the gap between professional and amateur was reflected.

In the whole battle, they only sank more than 50 modified armed merchant ships and 15 100-ton warships, but they lost 210 modified armed merchant ships, 11 warships under 100 tons, and 15 captured Zheng Jing's 100-ton warships.

If it weren't for the coastal defense artillery in the port of Papua New Guinea, and they later filled with 30 old 18-pounder field guns of the Chinese Army, the Royal Australian Army would have attacked the island of Papua New Guinea.

To this end, he urgently ordered 50 merchant ships from Zheng Zhi, and purchased 30 Zheng Zhi, and 15 of the remaining old warships of the Huaxia Army after the Great War with the Chinese Army and Naval Division, 300 to 600 tons, returned to defend the islands of Papua New Guinea.

But with these ships alone, he knew that he couldn't defeat Zheng Jing, and he could only get more warships and armed merchant ships as soon as possible, and even warships, and this was only available to Hongtian Cannon.

This time he brought with him a lot of rubber trees, banana trees, fruits, furs, cows, alpacas, guano, and eighty merchant ships to transport them, and the fleet of escorts drew a batch of fast three-hundred-ton warships in the fierce naval battle, and it took nearly three months to make a long detour to reach the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Of course, it couldn't be that Hong Hongxiu arrived in person, he was afraid that Hong Tiancang would detain him or kill him, and this time it was his son Hong Wenyi.

In the face of so many goods, Hong Tiancang was also very happy, he had long wanted to change ships, so many goods, sell the merchant ships and small tonnage warships in his fleet to his second brother, and then exchange money to continue to buy newer warships and warships in the Huaxia Kingdom, the new warships are definitely impossible, but those ships that are only ten years, eight years, or even six years, five years old, in fact, are not much use in the Huaxia Kingdom.

The Huaxia Kingdom is not short of money now, but it has rare materials from all over the place, and with these materials from his second brother, he can use these materials to negotiate with the Huaxia Kingdom.

The last time he bought the warships and warships of the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison of the Huaxia Kingdom, in fact, he was not happy, the battleships and warships of the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison were not good when he heard it, and the ships that you wanted to float on the river could only run to the sea to fight?

It must be a ship that is not suitable for fighting on the sea and retired to the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison, although there are also a few new warships there, but only a few good goods can be bought after buying so much, which makes him feel cheated, this time he must buy some good ones, preferably in active service, he knows that the old warships in service in the Huaxia Kingdom are all good ships that have not been more than ten years old, and they have all been strengthened and transformed.

So he didn't care about the last time his second brother left him, but smiled and welcomed his nephew again, the last time he sold his nephew were actually his retired ships, as well as the inland river warships of the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison, all of which were small tonnage, in addition to being able to transport near the sea, in front of them in good sea conditions, in fact, the situation was not good, he also knew that this was also the reason why Hong Hongxiu suffered heavy losses when they fought on the islands of Papua New Guinea, and Hong Wenxiu must have known that he had cheated them, But everyone doesn't say it, and he doesn't say it, is it still a family?

He greeted his nephew Hong Wenyi warmly, and then secretly ordered the sailor generals, "Go ahead and clean up our old ships, even if they can't be cleaned up, pull them out, I'll be useful tomorrow." ”

After entertaining his nephew, when his nephew proposed to buy warships and warships, he was very bold and waved his hand, "It's all my own family, what do you do so much, I have a ship here for you to choose, I like me to sell it to you at a low price, if it really doesn't work, I'll give you a few." ”

And Hong Wenyi was very surprised by his second uncle's performance, and secretly warned himself that this was not like his second uncle's style, he must be careful, and then Nununo said: "Second uncle, I didn't bring much money this time, only about 10 million worth of goods, do you see if you can give us some good warships, and we will slowly pay you back in the future?" ”

Hong Tianpao smiled kindly: "What do you say, family, yes, yes, I'll take you to pick it tomorrow." I must not let you suffer, I have long been displeased with that kid of the Zheng family, and His Majesty King Zhang Qiang also looked at him unpleasantly, killing so many Zheng family members, you see our Hong family, although there are disputes, but they are just a battle of righteousness, how can it reach the point of seeing blood in the sword and hurting the harmony. ”

The two of them discussed with each other about family affection, friendship and something.

The next day, Hong Wenyi took people to pick up ships, 300,000 Huaxia yuan each, bought ten 1,000-ton warships in the remaining main fleet of Hongtian Cannon, 200,000 bought 10 800-ton warships, and the remaining 50,000 or 60,000, 30,000 or 40,000 ships, bought a lot of warships in good condition, and then Hong Tiancang waved his hand and gave him 50 warships of less than 300 tons in bad condition, and 50 old merchant ships.

Hong Wenyi was grateful.

A week later, Hong Wenyi returned empty-ton with a huge fleet of nearly 200 warships and more than 100 merchant ships, because he had no money to buy goods.

In fact, except for twenty warships, all the warships he bought could only be said to be in tatters, and this time Hong Tiancang sold almost all the warships supported by the Huaxia Army that he had used in the previous ten years, earning nearly six million Huaxia yuan.

He put those goods in the port and sold, they were all goods needed by all parties, and the Qing Dynasty alone bought a lot, rubber trees and banana trees were purchased by the Huaxia Kingdom, and the officials of the Huaxia Kingdom Merchant Hall, who had been looking for a long time, found that this time they finally bought the tree species that His Majesty the King asked to buy, and hurriedly reported it, and then transplanted these books to Treasure Island and Qiong Island, and at the same time banana and sugar cane trees were transplanted to offshore islands and offshore coasts.

And the Hongtian Cannon, which had more than 60 million taels of silver and nearly 80 million Huaxia Yuan reserves, also waited for the reply of the messenger sent, and the Huaxia Kingdom promised to sell their ships again.

Soon Hong Tianpao looked bitter, too this time he was pitted by the Huaxia Kingdom again, and the Huaxia Kingdom dealt with their tatters to themselves, the merchant ships of the coast guard of the original fleet along the coast thirty years ago, the warships of twenty-five years ago were transformed into merchant ships, the warships of twenty years ago were transformed, the first generation of Huaxia Army warships eighteen years ago, the second generation of Huaxia warships of the Huaxia Army fifteen years ago, and the warships of fifteen years ago, what kind of tatters is this, the only good thing is the remaining eight thousand-ton warships of the Yangtze River Navy Division Garrison eight years ago, Fifteen 600-ton warships, the remaining 200 warships of the Third Fleet of the Huaxia Army, and 50 of the 10-year warships and warships that were decommissioned this year.

He cheated his second brother, and the Huaxia Army specially cheated him.

He spent 30 million Huaxia Yuan to buy one-fifth of these old ships of the Huaxia Army, about 500 ships, except for the last battleships and warships of the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison, and the retired warships and warships of the Third Fleet, the others are things he doesn't want.
