"This is today's battle report, the Spanish warships finally left the port and left Manila, a total of six warships, two large and four small."

Hu Jingshui handed the information to Yu Guozhentai with a relaxed smile on his face. Although Yu Guozhen approved his resignation as governor of Hoi An, he did not arrange a new position for him, and he knew in his heart that Yu Guozhen had not completely lost his trust in him, and he was afraid that he would have to wait until after the war to arrange a place for him. Either the Chicken Coop Governor on the island of Taiwan or the Governor of Manila.

"Well, that's fine, I'm going to Xinxiang, you can go with me." Yu Guozhen said: "I heard that Mr. Song Yingxing has created a great thing, I want to see it with my own eyes, if it really happens...... Our new Xiang is entering a new era. ”

"The war over the chicken coop?"

"Now that the Spaniards' boat has been brought out, the chicken coop can be moved on, and there is no need to drag it any longer."

"Yes."

Hu Jingshui played the role of an adjutant at this time, but this is not that Yu Guozhen looks down on him, but that he will really reuse his logo. Previously, his contact was only with some civil affairs, and Hoi An's defense matters had always been presided over by the military governor stationed by Yu Guozhen, and he could not interfere at all. But now it is different, and Yu Guozhen is clearly strengthening his voice in the military.

Whether he will be arranged to Taiwan or the Philippines after the war, it means that he needs to face the local indigenous and external forces independently, and this time Yu Guozhen may not send a military commander to assist him, but he will take on the burden of both the military and the political side alone.

This order spread with Yu Guozhen's return to Xinxiang, but Yu Guozhen only returned to Xinxiang. The first thing I saw was not the scientific research team led by Song Yingxing, but the representatives sent by the Zheng family.

"It turned out that General Shi was here, why did General Zheng San come in the future?"

Seeing the envoy, Yu Guozhen asked with a smile, this person is Shi Fu, who has a relationship with him. He was under the command of Zheng Zhilong, and he was very trustworthy, so he was sent as an envoy.

"The three generals have to take the martial arts test. Hence the future. Shi Fu accompanied the smiling face, but there was something meaningful in his words: "The lower official visited Nanhai Bo, and Nanhai Bo took the time to meet." What a blessing! ”

"General Zheng is well?"

Yu Guozhen's polite words took turns, but Shi Fu was not at all relaxed, and his heart was even more uneasy.

He knew Yu Guozhen's strength. Therefore, I understand that if I don't do well on this mission, I am afraid that I will cause big trouble.

"Uncle Nanhai, my general ordered the officials to ask the uncle for peace, because he is busy with official business, he has not had time to come to visit, which is a great pity."

"It's okay, he's busy and I'm busy." Yu Guozhen smiled faintly and said, "Don't go around in circles, what's the matter with you here?" ”

"The general of my family wants to ask Nanhai Bo for advice, is the agreement reached between the three generals of my family and Nanhai Bo still valid?"

"Oh? I had made a lot of agreements with General Zheng San. Which one do you mean? ”

"It's a matter of the big guys."

"At the beginning, General Zheng San and I arranged this way for the officers, and the officials controlled by the Zheng family, I will never interfere." Yu Guozhen laughed: "Have you seen me meddle in the past few years?" As soon as the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase, and this agreement certainly works! ”

"So. I don't know why Nanhaibo's fleet is anchored in Penghu? Shi Fu's expression was solemn: "At the beginning, it was said that it was a shelter from the wind, and in the two families of the watch and mutual assistance, we accepted Nanhai Bo's fleet, but this shelter was more than 30 days, Nanhai Bo...... Can you give me an explanation? ”

"Jiuhe didn't tell you about this matter? It's time to fight, it's time to fight. When the Nine Rivers return, I will punish him. Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "He won't stay in Penghu for a long time, and he will leave in about ten days." I won't hide it from you, we are going to intercept a fleet, and after you go back, you will share a good life with General Zheng, and after the matter is completed, Xinxiang will be rewarded. ”

"This is not in accordance with the rules, Nanhai Bo said at the beginning, the Oriental Ocean is all at the disposal of our Zheng family, and now Nanhai Bo has come to the Oriental interface to intercept the fleet...... It's not in order! ”

"What I want to intercept is a ghost guy, if your Zheng family is willing to intercept it, I will withdraw and leave it to you to intercept. But since your Zheng family doesn't cut it off, don't you still want me to do it? ”

As soon as Yu Guozhen's words came out, Shi Fu was shocked!

The Zheng family and the Europeans had both cooperation and struggle, and the relationship between the two sides was extremely complicated, but in general, the Zheng family was still quite in awe of the Europeans at this time. Of course, they did not dare to take the initiative to challenge the Dutch, and the Spaniards were extremely jealous, but the Portuguese, they did not care too much.

"How ...... this"

Shi Fu was only halfway through his words, and then he saw that Yu Guozhen's face had sunk.

"Recently, I heard rumors that the Dutch were gathering troops in Batavia to prepare to attack Hoi An, and the Tokugawa shogunate of the Wa Kingdom had no tricks and intended to attack Tamna, and it is said that the Zheng family had extremely close contacts with the Tokugawa shogunate and the Dutch, I wonder if the Zheng family heard the news about this? This north and south, the East and the West, how to rush to do something to our new Xiang at this time, which is purely a coincidence, or someone is threading the needle, please General Shi teach me! ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Fu's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But he still felt a dry throat.

He knows what Yu Guozhen said, and he even understands that behind this, there is indeed some kind of connection with the Zheng family.

The Dutch, who occupied southern Taiwan and had always hoped to expand their aggressive rights and interests against China, had both competition and cooperation with them, and now more cooperation than competition. The route from the Ming Dynasty to the Kingdom of Wa will bring more than one million taels of benefits to the Zheng family every year, so that the Zheng family can afford to raise a huge fleet. Therefore, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the three of them now, and in the face of Xinxiang's increasing pressure at sea, and also in the face of Xinxiang's more and more abundant wealth, the three of them have the intention of joining forces to seize it!

There was even a secret treaty: the Tokugawa shogunate seized Tamna Island and southern Korea, put down the rebellion of Shiro Amakusa Shiro on the island of Dingding, the Dutch got Xinhang and Hoi An, and the Zheng family got the shipbuilding workshops of Xinxiang and Yu Guozhen.

It's just that this matter is still being planned. No matter which side it is, they haven't made a final decision, but Yu Guozhen has exposed their secret at this time!

"South...... Nanhai Bo, there is no such thing, there is no such thing! After a brief moment of panic, Shi Fu exclaimed, "Impossible. Our Zheng family and Nanhaibo are like this...... So ......"

"So, what I'm hearing is someone else's rumor?" Yu Guozhen interrupted him.

"Definitely!"

"I hope so." Yu Guozhen got up and said: "Since the Zheng family is not colluding with the Fan people to embarrass my Xinxiang, then I don't think it will stop me from cleaning up the Fan people who want to deal with me?" ”

"Nope. No, it won't. ”

At this time, Shi Fu completely forgot that he had come to Xingshi to ask for sin. He knew in his heart that the Zheng family was not ready for a full-scale conflict with Yu Guozhen, and without the echo of the Wa Kingdom and the Dutch, it was impossible for the Zheng family to compete with Yu Guozhen alone!

Thinking that just six years ago, Yu Guozhen was only a small force in the South China Sea, that is, three years ago, they were preparing to have a naval battle with Yu Guozhen, but until now, they have not received the support of the fans. They didn't dare to confront Yu Guozhen at all, and Shi Fu was extremely emotional in his heart.

"Since Nanhaibo wants to deal with Fanren, our Zheng family must not sit idly by and help." Shi Fu took a deep breath, his mind racing. He said loudly: "I'll go back and bring the news back to my general!" ”

Yu Guozhen's originally calm face turned into joy: "If General Zheng helps, it will naturally be better, this matter is important, the sooner the better, I will not keep General Shi." ”

He was so polite. Shi Fu was even more worried in his heart, but Yu Guozhen didn't keep him, which still made him breathe a sigh of relief. After he saluted and left, Yu Guozhen smiled dumbly, turned back to Mao Yuanyi and said, "I think after he goes back, the Dutch will be nervous." ”

"Haha, but just now with his expression, the lord guessed right, the Zheng family really colluded with the Wa Kingdom and the Dutch. The Portuguese said that the Dutch intended to attack Hoi An, but I am afraid that it is not groundless, and we have to be careful! ”

"Jumping clown, don't worry, let's go to the old port and see Mr. Song's new masterpiece!" Yu Guozhen said.

"As soon as the lord came back, he saw Shi Fu, and he didn't even rush to see Mr. Song's masterpiece, so he didn't just want to scare the Zheng family, right?" After the two got up, Song Xiance said on the side.

Recently, he has been a little silent, and after Mao Yuanyi also joined Xinxiang, he gradually realized his shortcomings, and he was often worried in his heart, afraid that his position would be difficult to protect. However, Yu Guozhen still trusts him, he and Mao Yuanyi exist as a staff officer, and when Yu Guozhen is not in Xinxiang, he will keep him in Xinxiang.

"Well, after Shi Fu returns, the Zheng family will think that we are going to do something to the Dutch, and they will let out a rumor to the Dutch, and to some extent, they can also hide our true purpose." Yu Guozhen replied casually: "This is just an idle move, it doesn't matter if you use it or not." ”

When Yu Guozhen was still in Xiang'an, he began to study the spring, and after arriving in Xinxiang, there was a special researcher in charge of this piece, and the carriage produced by Qirui and Geely used a spring suspension shockproof system. In addition, rubber tires are now used, and the shock resistance of the carriage is excellent, and the roads of Xinxiang are smooth and wide, so it is extremely comfortable to sit in such a carriage.

Yu Guozhen's carriage was specially made and had a lot of space, and against the back of the carriage was a bookshelf and a bed, and the bookshelf was piled up with all kinds of books - these books were not decorations, but Yu Guozhen was actually reading. In front of the bed were two rows of fixed benches, Mao Yuanyi and Song Xiance sat here, they each found a book to read, and Yu Guozhen also slowly turned the book.

But Xinxiang has also had a problem now, that is, the traffic is gradually congested, and after walking for only a few minutes, it has been blocked several times, Yu Guozhen frowned slightly: "Xinxiang is getting more and more congested." ”

"The lord did not know that in less than three months after the New Year, 1,200 three-wheeled bicycles were put on the market, and the number of two-wheeled bicycles reached 3,000, plus hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, congestion was inevitable. Fortunately, there are traffic pipes on the streets, and even if it is congested, it will not take too long - if the lord wants to be fast, he can clear the road. Song Xiance said with a smile.

"Absolutely not." Yu Guozhen pouted: "Let hundreds of thousands of people not be happy, just for me to be happy for a while, I can't do this kind of thing!" (To be continued)
