Chapter 144: Two Paths

"Mr. Che, what's the important matter when you come to visit?" Zheng Zhilong, who was established in the year, was at the peak of his maritime hegemony and was full of energy. On the sea, Zheng Zhilong may be the leader feared by everyone, but for the people of Quanzhou, it is still good. Therefore, the locals are not disgusted with this local snake, after all, with him, there are few Japanese robbers who have landed in Quanzhou.

Because he is the greatest widow......

"Governor Yudu, Linghe Bo Yang Fan has arrived in Quanzhou."

"Ling Hebo? Is it the one who defeated Huang Taiji's 50,000 elite soldiers a few months ago? Zheng Zhilong ordered someone to watch the tea and sat down with Che Qiu, "Why did he come to Quanzhou?" ”

Zai also wondered, but when I asked later, I learned that the refugees from Shaanxi had been moved overseas. When the last general asked, he learned that he had immigrated to Luzon. ”

"Going to Luzon, it's not nonsense. Then Luzon has long been occupied by Westerners. How could it be possible for us to intervene, let alone immigrate, even in the past, it would not have allowed so many people to go ashore. ”

"Yes, the last general said it too. That Ling Hebo estimated that he was a genius on the battlefield, and when he heard the news, he was immediately stunned and couldn't speak, so I came to find you. ”

"Looking for me? What's the use of looking for me, do you want me to help him knock down Luzon? Nonsense, this foreigner's ship cannon is not vegetarian, not to mention the landing operation, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Che Qiu said: "The last general has a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone, I don't know if the governor wants to hear it?" ”

"You say yes."

"A few days ago, wasn't the governor worried that he hadn't migrated to Taiwan? Do you think these 30,000 people are to your liking? Che Qiu smiled, "Most of these people from the north are good at farming, and the people of Shaanxi are fierce, and Tuntian is still serving as a conscription, and I believe that after recuperation, they are not weak troops." ”

Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up and said, "Why didn't I think of it." Once I settle their livelihood, it will be a sworn allegiance, and these people are all from Shaanxi, and they are not afraid of rebellion. He hurriedly got up and prepared to send someone to Yang Fan to discuss the matter.

"Why should the governor be in such a hurry? Didn't the last general say it, this is a plan to kill three birds with one stone, you are in such a hurry, it is inevitable to arouse suspicion, it is better to wait for Lord Yang himself to feel tricky, and come to see him, when the time comes, the red man around the saint owes you a favor. Governor, after your good deeds are known by the saints, they will be rewarded, isn't it just killing three birds with one stone? ”

"Haha, Mr. Che is very right."

"It's still the governor wise."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

……

The waves of the island crashed against the shore, and the map was pressed against a few stones. Liu Xiang sat on the side, looked at the red circle on the map, and said, "Second brother, this is what Lord Yang said?" ”

"That's right, Liu Tou'er, although this chart is a manuscript, it is very accurate, no worse than the one we bought from foreigners, and judging from the maps we bought from foreigners, there is also such a waterway. Nine times out of ten, merchant ships coming from the West came from this side. If we gain a firm foothold over there, it will be equivalent to jamming Zheng Zhilong's snakehead. ”

Liu Xiang looked at the Zhu line that expanded from the red circle, nodded and said, "It's indeed a clever plan." But this is ...... above."

Ma Yidong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Liu Tou'er, the lord said that as long as we have a firm foothold over there, he will naturally arrange the things in the future." ”

Liu Xiang is not stupid, this Strait of Malacca is the throat of the South Seas, once it is choked, it will be difficult for Western merchant ships to enter here. "Third, what do you think?"

On the side, the three masters, known as the Eagle Master, looked at the map and said, "Originally, we were in the East, but now if we really want to go to the Nanyang area, the first thing to solve is the Westerners over there." If I hold this choke point, I am afraid that the Westerners will retaliate. ”

"If you really want to go over there, it will inevitably have friction with Westerners. But the guys we have on hand can't do the Westerners. I don't think there's a hurry over there, but we have to figure it out slowly, so that the brothers in the Penghu area can first go to Luzon to gain a firm foothold, and then attack Malacca, what do you think? ”

"It's fine. But what about Zheng Zhilong's side? It's up to him to make it bigger and stronger? The skinny monkey man next to him, who had not interjected, asked.

"Fourth, you're stupid. When we take that Malacca, who will dare to fly the flag of the Zheng family on the merchant ships coming and going at that time? Ma Yidong said, "When we develop and grow over there, this Zheng family just wants to come and fight with us, and without the power of the imperial court, we can be evenly matched." At that time, he had the capital to talk about business with him Zheng Zhilong. ”

"Okay." Liu Xiang stood up, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Now that Lord Yang has set the plan for us, if he can really dominate Nanyang in one fell swoop, we will have Lord Yang, even in the court, and he will have a decisive weight. Liu Xiang thought beautifully.

But there was one person whose skull hurt to the extreme. That is Yang Fan who rested at the post station. On the table was a map brought back by Zhang Jingcheng, which was carefully marked by Yang Fan, and the forces of all parties were drawn on it. Now that Luzon is colonized by Spain, Vietnam is also mired in the Nguyen-Zheng dispute, Malaysia is even more chaotic, the Portuguese temporarily control Malacca, piracy is rampant, and the dynasty is completely in a state of dispersion. It can be said that the entire South China Sea is chaotic, if Zheng Zhilong has that ambition and goes south, this small country will not be able to resist it at all, even if it is a Westerner, it will be difficult to match.

Yang Fan's main concern now is not these, but how to resettle these 30,000 refugees. At first glance, he set his sights on the island. Although the best and closest place is now, I'm afraid this is the place. The population is also sparse, just enough to immigrate. But Yang Fan has a concern. Where the couch lies, will others sleep peacefully? In the future, the refugees in Shaanxi will definitely move over in a steady stream, if they are all managed by Yang Fan, then naturally there is nothing to say, but the question is whether Zheng Zhilong agrees?

From the Dutch who later swept away Taiwan, it can be seen that Zheng Zhilong has eaten this bowl of rice from the Nanyang overlord and does not allow anyone to fight for it, so it is really inappropriate to choose here. Yang Fan's vision must be long-term, the grain people will return, and when the time comes, it will be okay if the grain people do not return, I am afraid that I am afraid of burying a cancer in the south.

His gaze slowly scanned the ocean, looking farther and longer. Beyond Malacca, Yang Fan's gaze was fixed on the uncolonized vast land. There, the blue of the sea.

Australia.

It was a difficult decision. If you want to emigrate to anywhere, it means that the trip is more than half. Yang Fan was not sure. From Tianjin Wei to Quanzhou, it has always been an offshore voyage, and an experienced master can command it, and Yang Fan is not required to do anything. In fact, Yang Fan really didn't do anything, but once he sailed out of Quanzhou, sailed through Southeast Asia, and arrived in Australia, Yang Fan was a little hesitant.

But he had to make a decision as much as he could. But whether he immigrated to Taiwan or Australia, it was time to dispose of the wine on the ship in Quanzhou. At the end of the year, the wealthy people in Quanzhou have not yet set up at night, and the sound of firecrackers continues to sound. Yang Fan changed into a coat and walked out onto the street.

year

He looked at the sky.

At this time in previous years, the old father of the family would always replace the couplet on the lintel with a new one, and asked him vigorously: "Is it aligned, is it aligned?" And the mother in the house, there are a lot of rice balls, dumplings, and Yangzhou noodles.

Now

year

It's become dispensable...... Outside the house, I watched the children setting off fireworks in the street.

The lights of thousands of homes, he felt why this land was colder than the sea. Unconsciously quickened, he decided that he was going to Australia. For some reason, I just want to go. I want to take these 30,000 refugees over and build a different country.
