Qi Hongying wants to follow the past, Zheng Zhihu will definitely follow, he has been guarding against the other party "annexing" the water master before, how can Qi Hongying deal with Zheng Chenggong alone at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So the three main generals of the naval division all went to the opposite merchant ship by boat, and the warships also turned their guns one after another, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Fujian Navy Master Mingwei General Zheng Sen, meet with Lord Li, the prefect of Suzhou." Zheng Chenggong saluted Li Hong.

Although General Mingwei belongs to the rank of the four-rank military general of the imperial court, since ancient times, Li Hongfei is a civil official of the four-grade prefect, and he is also the king of Suzhou who was named by Zhu Youzhen, and Zheng Chenggong naturally has to salute.

The name "Success" was still in the first year of Longwu (1645), Zheng Chenggong was appreciated by Emperor Longwu, and he was named loyal and filial piety, the governor of the imperial camp, and the surname of the country was given and the name was changed to "Chenggong".

Therefore, the name of the national surname at this time is only Zheng Sen, and Li Hongfei has changed the direction of history, and the ghost knows if there will be the name Zheng Chenggong in the future, so Li Hongfei does not dare to give the other party a new name.

"Lord Zheng Zhilong is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, he has resisted foreign enemies many times, and raised the prestige of our country, and his son is a talent, the tiger father has no dogs, and there is a sailor of General Mingwei, this Manchu Tartar does not want to step into Chongming Island for half a step." Li Hongfei praised.

Zheng Chenggong is a national hero, and Li Hongfei has to admire this point.

"What Master Li said is not bad, now the Ming army, I'm afraid that there are not many soldiers to fight except for Lord Zhilong's sailors."

Zheng Chenggong didn't speak, but Zheng Zhihu on the side said first.

The Zheng family sailor has today's achievements, and he does have capital worthy of arrogance.

Although Li Hongfei praised Zheng Zhilong before, he understated it lightly, but instead strongly praised Zheng Chenggong, who had no military achievements, which made Zheng Zhihu very unhappy, so he directly spoke out to provoke.

"This is ........," Li Hongfei asked with a frown.

Grandma's, labor and management are talking to the commander of the fleet, what are you talking about?

"This is my uncle, Zheng Zhihu, the deputy chief soldier of Fujian, the chief soldier of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I guess I don't need to introduce it below." Zheng Chenggong said.

Qi Hongying's general's mansion is in Suzhou, and the newly recruited Qi family army is still trained by Li Hongfei, if the two don't know each other, there will be ghosts.

"Li Hongfei, the prefect of Suzhou, has seen General Qi and Vice General Zheng." Li Hongfei saluted one by one.

If there was only Qi Hongying alone, Li Hongfei could have ignored it completely, but now it is different, a second-grade general suddenly appeared, Li Hongfei was not saluting, and he would fall into the truth.

"Don't dare to be, Lord Li is the king of Suzhou, and this is in Suzhou, so he should give a salute to Lord Li at the end." Zheng Zhihu sneered.

Zheng Zhihu made it clear that he didn't give Li Hongfei face, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.........

"By the way, Lord Li, what is the so-called matter when you come to Baoshan Town this time?" Qi Hongying opened her mouth to break the siege.

"It's nothing, this official plans to move the Ordnance Bureau to Baoshan Town, and at the same time, the recruit training camp will also be moved here." Li Hongfei said.

There is nothing to hide about these things, so I simply told the other party directly.

"This is very good, the Ordnance Bureau is in Baoshan Town, but all the weapons made will definitely be equipped in the hands of the soldiers as soon as possible, and the recruits stationed in Baoshan Town will be able to support Chongming Island at any time, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone." Zheng Chenggong's idea is the same as Li Hongfei's.

"Humph! A group of recruits are just eggs, how much combat power can they have? Chongming Island is garrisoned by the Zheng army, rather than stationing troops here to waste food and wages, it is better to send troops to support Yangzhou, and the province's Fujian Navy Division takes care of the three places. Zheng Zhihu said coldly.

Now the Fujian Navy Division has become the main combat force of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so it has to be divided into three, Zheng Zhilong guarded Fujian and deterred the Dutch who occupied Taiwan.

After Zhu Youzhen went south, in order to build a defense line on the Yangtze River, he ordered Zheng Zhihu to lead a part of the fleet to garrison Chongming Island.

Yangzhou is also an important gateway to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so Zheng Zhilong's third brother, Zheng Zhibao, was also sent to Yangzhou to guard the Yangzhou waterway.

It can be said that the three important military areas of the Southern Ming Dynasty all have the presence of the Zheng family's army, and it is also because of the imperial court's move that the Zheng family's sailors with iron buckets are in danger of separating, so Zheng Zhihu will have a lot of complaints about the imperial court.

Slap in the face, naked slap in the face, no way, who calls people strong in combat, who calls the Qing army's current sailors not yet in the climate?

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the naval division, the army was simply a mess, which is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Youzhen made up his mind so much to organize and train a new army.

Zheng Zhihu slapped his face, if it was someone else, he would have endured it silently, but Li Hongfei was unwilling, if Zheng Chenggong was still a character, but the three beasts of your Zheng family (Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao) are just a group of pirates chasing interests, and it won't be long before they will be collectively cleared, national thieves and traitors, what's there to worry about?

"Lord Zheng's sailor is really powerful, in the battle of Jingshi in early March, Lord Zhilong's sailor, if he hadn't been dragged by hundreds of Dutch ghosts, he would definitely be able to lead King Qin's army north to King Qin, and annihilate the thieves in one fell swoop." Li Hongfei scoffed.

Li Hongfei's words are already obvious, although the army is not as strong as the navy, but it can also defend the Beijing division to the death, and dare to fight Li Zicheng, but what about the Ming sailors?

Actually used the Dutch as an excuse to refuse to send troops, you must know that the Dutch are in Taiwan, there are no more than 100 warships, and no more than 1,000 soldiers, Zheng Zhilong really wants to make up his mind to recover Taiwan, is it not a matter of a wave of charge?

When Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, the Daming Naval Division was long gone, and the Dutch had increased their troops in large numbers at that time, so it only took ten months for the Dutch to surrender unconditionally.

Zheng Chenggong can do this, let alone Zheng Zhilong.

As early as 1633, Zheng Zhilong participated in the Battle of Kinmen off the coast of Fujian and defeated the fleet of the Dutch East India Company.

Since then, he has controlled the sea routes and collected the fees for merchant ships from various countries, and Zheng Zhilong has quickly become rich and captivated.

Zheng Jiajun became the lord of southern Fujian and the overlord of the sea, and gave the Zheng family's order flag to the merchant ships of Zhilong (a large ship needs to pay 3,000 taels of silver), and if they wanted to pass through the Zhilong sea area without paying the fee, they might not escape the fate of being robbed.

Zheng Zhilong was so strong that the Dutch East India Company was unstable, and the Dutch united with other forces to take Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Zhilong continued to expand his power and defeated the Dutch two times.

Shi Zai: "Those who are not allowed to order the flag of the Zheng family cannot come and go." Each ship earns 3,000 gold, and the annual income is 10 million, so as to enrich the enemy country and build the city of Anping Town"; "Since then, the sea atmosphere is quite resting, selling foreign goods, domestic and foreign businessmen, all use the Zheng banner, no example, businessmen have 20 times the benefits, Zhilong is full of Haili traffic court, and it is a great show", "Fujian takes Zheng's as the Great Wall".

So far, Zheng Zhilong's trade has been extensive in the East and Nanyang: Da Ni, Huni, Champang, Luzon, Yonggang, Beigang, Dayuan, Hirado, Nagasaki, Mumbai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, and Siam.

It is estimated that the military strength is as high as 200,000 people, including Han Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Austronesian, African blacks, and other races, and has a fleet of more than 3,000 large and small ships, making it the only power in the maritime world of East China and South China.

Now that Zheng Zhilong has been operating in Fujian for decades, he has never been able to recover Taiwan, is it really impossible to beat the other party, in the final analysis, it is just for money.

Zheng Zhilong was an official of the Ming Dynasty, and received money from the rich and rival countries, but he never took out a penny to support the Ming Dynasty, and even the naval warships were regarded as private property, so he would not be so stupid if he gave up the glory and wealth of the south and went to the north to be the king of Qin.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has lost half of the country, Zheng Zhilong had to divide the fleet into three for his own interests to help the Ming army garrison various fortresses.

Of course, he didn't do this out of sincerity, in Zheng Zhilong's opinion, the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and helping to fight against the Manchus was just to beat the Manchus and negotiate a good price for surrendering in the future.

Therefore, Qi Hongying's desire to win over the sailors of Chongming Island is simply wishful thinking.
