Originally, when they heard Yu Guozhen say that it was not over, everyone was stunned, and Song Xiance was particularly so, because in his opinion, this was already a net of heaven and earth, and it was not easy for Xinxiang to get out of such an encirclement.

But listening to Yu Guozhen's tone, it seems that this is not all!

"Well, in addition to this, the Dutch have gathered troops again in Batavia, and this is the news from Governor Hu, saying that the size of the gathering has already used up the forces of their previous attack on Manlajia."

This was something that everyone expected, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After the battle between the chicken coop and Luzon, Xinxianghuwei had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the European colonists. Their actual combat ability is stronger than that of Jianyu, and it is roughly the same as that of Huwei.

Their will to fight is slightly weaker than that of Jianyu, but stronger than that of the Ming officers and soldiers and the rogues.

As for the strength of the Dutch, everyone also knows that the Dutch are extremely strong near the South China Sea, with about 2,000 soldiers in Taiwan alone, and in Batavia, the troops are even stronger.

At the beginning, the Tiger Guard used nearly 20,000 people to capture Manila, now Luzon City, and also used weapons such as hot air boats, even so, it still caused about 400 people to die in the most elite training group of the Tiger Guard.

"Judging from the speed of the Dutch's actions, Zheng Zhilong's actions were earlier than we imagined, it is difficult to say whether the Dutch transferred troops last year to deal with the Portuguese or to meet us, the only thing that is certain is that this time the Dutch are ready to swallow the entire southeast islands in one fell swoop."

"Daydreaming, Southeastern Islands. Since ancient times, it has been within the sphere of influence of China. Luo Jiuhe said again.

After he said the words "since ancient times", everyone laughed, and a sense of pride arose. People under the Xinxiang system naturally know that the reason why the Chinese ethnic group can have this kind of self-confidence is inseparable from its long history and huge geographical influence. Compared with the Chinese ethnic group, today's Xiyi is still a barbarian who has not yet left the stage of Rumao's blood drinking. Its level of civilization is comparable to that of Jianyu.

"Zheng Zhilong is very courageous, stirring up the wind and rain. Make such a big incident. Mao Yuanyi frowned: "When the old man was matched with Fujian, he had also seen him, he didn't have such a bold person." This is already a bit of a hero! ”

Mao Yuanyi's comment made Yu Guozhen deeply convinced.

To be honest, when he learned that Zheng Zhilong had made such a big scene, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he was a little skeptical that Zheng Zhilong had also been crossed.

If he had this kind of courage, in the unchanged history, he should not have easily surrendered to the Manchus, and finally had his head cut off like a dog.

But when you think about it, it's also normal. Today's Zheng Zhilong is not old, because of the influence of Xinxiang, he still has some pioneering intentions, and his vision is far broader than in the past. Yu Guozhen's introduction to the countries of Europa. It was originally to open the eyes of the Chinese people, but this knowledge that has been passed down will obviously affect Zheng Zhilong.

"Is there anything else, Brother Erzhu, you can say it together, we can bear it." Tian Boguang said with a smile.

He still looks relaxed, in fact, the tiger guard system. Except for Luo Jiuhe, who looked angry, the rest of the people were very relaxed.

"Well, there is another matter about Zhang Xianzhong, but according to my judgment, this matter has nothing to do with Zheng Zhilong." Gao Erzhu also smiled, but it was good that he didn't laugh, and a smile made people feel even more gloomy. He lightly patted the empty notes on the table, recalling what he had written down, and then continued: "The thief is powerful, Yang Sichang sent people to pretend to be a rogue, and after the thief escaped into the deep mountains, he crossed the river without knowing where to go, and sneaked into the mountains of Xiangxi. ”

"Sacrifice thief cunning!" Song Xiance stroked his palms and smiled: "But it happens to be used by me, and if I break this paradox, I will be a thief." ”

As Yu Guozhen's military staff officer, he also got a lot of information, although it was not as detailed as Gao Erzhu's income, but it was enough for him to have a general understanding of the situation facing Xinxiang. The strategic environment in which Xinxiang is now located can be described as the worst since its establishment, with enemies on all sides, and its own troops have to be dispersed to defend it.

But Song Xiance saw hope from this disadvantage.

"What does Mr. Song think, let's talk about it." Yu Guozhen is very happy, he is not afraid of the current situation, because Xinxiang's wings have been sealed, and his strength for self-protection is enough, even if he gives up Luzon City, shrinks his defense, and gritted his teeth for two years, he can pass this hurdle.

But he would like to see a more proactive approach.

"In fact, since the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court has been dealing with us, and this year, the people who have voted from Daming to our Xinxiang have only had an average of more than 10,000 a month, and this is the result of Gao Juzuo starting the 'authentic'. Previously, we estimated that we could accept 200,000 immigrants a year, equivalent to a quarter of all our Xinxiang people, which was due to the restrictions imposed by the imperial court. ”

"Xinxiang's goods, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanxi's west and other places, have been resisted, but this is not important, the important thing is that now Xinxiang has a million people, according to the plan formulated by the lord and you, a quarter of the population needs to be replenished every year, only in this way, in order to cultivate their own internal market, therefore, in addition to the more than 100,000 people quietly invested through the 'tunnel', we also have to get another 100,000 people, so that as long as three to four years, our total population can exceed two million, and in two years, we can exceed three million... …”

Song Xiance counted the population, and he was really excited, which is also the habit of most people under the Xinxiang system, and they are extremely sensitive to numbers.

This result also directly made Xinxiang's mathematics develop very quickly, such as Song Yingxing and Jiang Youzhong, both of whom are masters of mathematics, and even the two Taoist priests of Guiquanzi and Thief Quanzi are also quite in-depth in their mathematical research. Yu Guozhen felt that his little mathematical skills were probably not as good as those who focused on academics.

The prosperity of mathematics has also directly led to the development of various practical sciences in Xinxiang, especially the accuracy of the manufacturing process.

Song Xiance said this, paused slightly, and then continued: "We seem to be in danger now, in fact, the imperial court will not tear our faces, and the Dutch are far away and thirsty, and the 150,000 troops of the Japanese Kingdom seem to be numerous, but they can't threaten our homeland, and the one who really causes trouble is the Zheng family." Since the offering of thieves is in Hunan Realm, it is not impossible for a group of offering thieves to sweep through Jiangxi and Fujian and go to destroy the Zheng family. ”

He smiled slyly again, and the stunned expressions of everyone made him very happy, and his eyes were cold: "The Zheng family has controlled the East China Sea for a long time, and the family wealth is millions of taels and millions of taels, didn't the lord say that killing a fat pig for the New Year." With this income, we can't last two or three years? ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but high-five at this time, and at the same time looked at Song Xiance's gaze strangely. Not only him, but the consternation in everyone's eyes became strange.

This dwarf is bold and insidious!

Yu Guozhen's original idea was only to destroy the Zheng family's fleet on the sea, but he never thought of completely ending the Zheng family from the land. Therefore, after hearing Song Xiance's words, he was also slightly surprised, but he had to admit that if he pretended to be a rogue, he destroyed the Zheng family, so the whole situation was alive.

For Xinxiang, the Japanese and the Dutch are all external factors, and it is difficult to affect the development of Xinxiang, and the real key is the internal Ming Dynasty. Destroying the Zheng family is a deterrent to those villains who jump up and down, and at the same time stirring up the situation in the south of the Ming Dynasty with Zhang Xianzhong's hand.

In this case, it will be impossible to control the flow of population, and even without Xinxiang recruitment, there will be countless people who have heard of Xinxiang's paradise and poured into Xinxiang and become Xinxiang's fresh blood.

"In order to break this situation, the dwarf has put a lot of thought into it, but the lord has always maintained a certain respect for the court, and adopting the dwarf strategy will deal a great blow to the authority of the court, and at the same time, he will also risk the court's annoyance. In fact, the best situation at this time is still a large-scale invasion by Jianyu, so that the imperial court has no time to separate......" Mao Yuanyi thought to himself.

Everyone began to talk about the pros and cons of Song Xiance's strategy, but Yu Guozhen did not speak, this is the habit of their meeting, if Yu Guozhen opens his mouth, it will set the tone. Before he makes a decision, everyone can discuss whether to implement a certain plan, but after he has made a decision, all objections can be reserved, but they cannot be said, and only how to make the plan better realized.

Avoiding party disputes caused by different opinions as much as possible has always been a problem that Yu Guo has solved with his brain, including such institutional provisions.

After discussing for a while, everyone felt that Song Xiance's strategy was indeed a clever way to break the situation, and it could even be said that with this strategy, the Ming court would no longer be able to restrict Xinxiang in the future.

The side effects of this strategy were not mentioned.

The people of Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian, who were originally relatively stable, were afraid that they would have to suffer a lot because of this. With Xinxiang's strength, there is no problem in receiving 200,000 people a year, but the people in these four places combined, why only 200,000?

So everyone deliberately avoided mentioning it, they knew that Yu Guozhen attached the most importance to the people. Although sometimes, Yu Guozhen will show dissatisfaction and even contempt for the individuals in the people, but Yu Guozhen has always been respectful and sympathetic to the people as a whole.

In Yu Guozhen's words, it is inevitable that there will be mixed phenomena among the individual Chinese people, but from the perspective of the Chinese people as a whole, there is no doubt that they are the most creative, energetic and intelligent in the world, and at the same time, they also have diligence far beyond that of any nation.

In the administration of Xinxiang, he has always avoided hurting the people as much as possible, and sometimes, everyone will feel that Yu Guozhen's "benevolence" to the people has reached the point of restraining himself. They didn't know that Yu Guozhen was trying to avoid a bad start.

Yu Guozhen knew very well that as long as he showed a little disrespect for the people, then the people below would dare to kick the people down in the mud and step on them a few more times.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, deep in thought. (To be continued)
