Chapter 921: A Contradictory Alliance
Kangxi was accumulating strength outside the Guan, preparing to rob Lao Maozi, while Zhang Qiang was building the Huaxia Kingdom in the Guan, Zhang Qiang wanted to move the capital to Yanjing, but one of his decisions made him not think about this decision for at least two or three years.
Yanjing has been burned to the ground, and without a few years of purification, where is it possible to induce a plague, and no kingdom's capital will be built on the plague.
Therefore, the capital of the Huaxia Kingdom is still in Jinling, which is the capital of the previous dynasties, resulting in the short-lived capital of the previous dynasties, Zhang Qiang has long wanted to move away, but it is impossible, there is no suitable place, in his mind, there are two places suitable for the capital, one is Jinling, one is Yanjing, under the current situation, he can only wait for a few years, wait for Yanjing to be built, and wait for nature to purify Yanjing on the ruins, where will he go.
At this moment, he looked at the latest information from Nanyang.
According to the intelligence, Zheng Jing initiated an organization called the Nanyang Alliance, which included the Spaniards in Luzon, Zheng Zhi's Nanyang Kingdom, Zheng Jing's Kingdom of Australia, the Dutch East India Company in Temasek, the French Expeditionary Corps in Indochina, the British Viceroyalty in India, the Portuguese Viceroyalty of Andaman Island, and the second prince's Xinlu Kingdom.
Not to mention the Tessians: the British, the Spaniards, and the Dutch, these three families have many contradictions in trade and attack each other, let's just say that the white-hot Spaniards and Zheng Zhi's Nanyang Kingdom on Luzon Island are a pair of irreconcilable contradictions, the two sides have been fighting for seven or eight years, and there have been countless casualties, and the Spaniards have suffered a large number of casualties in the indigenous states, of course, their soldiers and civilians, and expatriates have also suffered a lot of casualties, totaling more than 30,000 people.
Zheng Zhi's Nanyang Han people were killed and wounded more than 100,000 people, and several indigenous states attached to Nanyang were also exterminated.
There is no such thing as a servant army in the Nanyang Kingdom, and all of them are the people and soldiers of the Nanyang Kingdom, forming the army of the Nanyang Kingdom.
In such an environment, it actually led the Japanese people and some of the indigenous people of Southeast Asia to flee to the Nanyang Kingdom, so now the Nanyang Kingdom has 7 million people and nearly 700,000 soldiers and horses.
Not to be outdone, the Spanish governor recruited vagabonds, beggars, thieves, and women from Europe and the West to the East, and then formed them into mercenaries to fight for them, and at the same time hired mercenaries to come to Luzon with high salaries.
Originally, the Spaniards plus the army were only more than 10,000 people, but after the efforts of the current governor in the past seven or eight years, the population from the West has now risen to more than 100,000, the regular army is 30,000, and the mercenary army is 50,000.
Not to mention that the Spaniards had nearly 20 million indigenous allies.
Hundreds of thousands of indigenous cannon fodder are organized casually, and they may not be able to defeat the Nanyang Kingdom on the frontal battlefield, but in the small-scale battles in peacetime, the natives' familiarity with the terrain, good at escaping, and elusive combat methods still give the Nanyang Kingdom a headache, and their large number of soldiers and horses are used to guard the city, the countryside, patrol, and capture those indigenous enemies who infiltrate in.
There were only 200,000 soldiers and horses that could be used for the attack.
Considering the renewal of weapons, soldier training, and financial support, Zheng Zhi of the Nanyang Kingdom lost the support of the Huaxia Kingdom, and he could never coach with the Spaniards, sometimes Zheng Zhi regretted it, why should he go against the Huaxia Kingdom? If he hadn't participated in the rebellion of the Huaxia Kingdom and had not been mixed with the Taixi people, he might have been able to get the support of the Huaxia Kingdom and have already unified Luzon, just like the Hongtian Cannon of the Ryukyu Kingdom, no matter how turbulent it is, even if 65% of the country's population is all rebelling against him, he can still suppress the rebellion in just over half a year, and the fight will become stronger and stronger.
At present, 80% of Zheng Zhi's weapons and equipment were eliminated by the Ryukyu Kingdom, and most of the money was earned from trading with the Ryukyu Kingdom.
With the support of the Nanyang Han family, he died long ago.
However, after Zheng Jing sent a representative Feng Xin to come, he understood that no matter what, the ultimate goal of the Huaxia Kingdom was to destroy them, not to make them kings who could be equal to the Huaxia Kingdom, the land under their feet was actually guarded for the Huaxia Kingdom, once the Huaxia Kingdom freed up, they were the unlucky ones, so he did not hesitate to join Zheng Jing, the alliance formed by the brothers he killed.
However, he still had a little more guard against this brother, who knew that his brother didn't take the opportunity of the alliance to annex the Nanyang Kingdom and kill himself? This brother of his own made it.
Zheng Jing sent envoys to contact various places, while arranging for war, the envoys went to talk about commercial trade first, which allowed them to make a sum of money first, for the Taixi people, they went to ask for some benefits first, and then talked about opening up commerce and trade, ports, and let the Taixi people come to their land to do business, and the sparsely populated and deserted Australia gathered popularity and accumulated wealth, and then talked about alliance cooperation.
But at the same time of doing this, Zheng Jing mobilized troops and horses, mainly sailors, to attack the islands of Papua New Guinea, wanting to recapture the island at the nearest doorstep to the South Seas, and at the same time sending more fleets to attack the second prince of New Zealand.
For a while, on the sea area of nearly 2,000 nautical miles, gunsmoke was everywhere, and the sound of artillery was rumbling, Zheng Jing and Hong Hongxiu were holding on to the death, and it was up to them to see who would subdue whom first.
For this war, Zheng Jing gritted his teeth and purchased 100 300-ton Dutch armed merchant ships from the Dutch, who had a good relationship with him, which were better than his own armed merchant ships that were modified from the old ships of the Huaxia Army, and they were all ocean-going merchant ships used by the Dutch merchants themselves.
Although it was much more complicated to operate than the simple old ships of the Huaxia Army, and more manpower was needed, Zheng Jing still bought it, so many indigenous people in Southeast Asia and Japanese people, recruited casually, and under the temptation of money and robbery, they immediately recruited 30,000 sailors.
Seventy-five old 1,000-ton warships and 150 600-ton warships purchased by the Huaxia Army and Navy were left behind after many years of use, and all the other warships were dispatched to attack Xinlu in two batches.
This is the new name that the second prince gave to his kingdom.
And the second prince also knew that he would definitely stab Zheng Jing in the heart of the island of Papua New Guinea by taking the island, even if the envoy of the Australian Kingdom sitting in front of him now said a lot of good words, it could not change the possibility that the two kingdoms would fight, so he then sent Hong Wenyi to the island of Papua New Guinea to sit in the town, and he himself sat on the island of New Zealand, mobilizing all the sea forces to fight Zheng Jing for a decisive battle.
On the other hand, the trade war between the Spaniards and the British and the Dutch was also in full swing, and sometimes they broke into the sea area inspected by the Chinese Kingdom to fight, and they fought endlessly, and the two sides fought for trade in the Far East, so to speak, there was no pause, maybe the governors of both sides could sit together and drink tea leisurely, talk about women, and joke, but the generals below had already blushed and fought with each other.
It's a contradictory alliance.
To complete this combination of alliances, Zheng Jing believes that it will take some effort.
