Chapter 756: Declaration of War (I)

"Tell me everything I don't know." After dinner, Gao Yang and Zheng Xiujing took a leisurely walk together in the Jiaozhou Bay Military Port. The moon was shining in the sky and the ground was dotted with stars. From time to time, a chilly sea breeze blows on the sea. In this clear environment where there is no industrial pollution at all, Zheng Xiujing raised her bright eyes, plucked up her courage, and asked out loud.

Gao Yang glanced at her slightly. His eyes were a little wandering, he wanted to speak and stopped, and he hesitated.

"Now is the time when I am most soft-hearted. I'm touched by all this you've done for me. So now I can accept whatever you say. Zheng Xiujing pinned her hair behind her ears, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said softly.

After a pause, a soft smile flashed on Qingli's face, and she chuckled softly, and then said, "If you don't say it this time, then I won't listen to it in the future." Although Zheng Xiujing had a soft smile on her face, her eyes were extremely serious!

Gao Yang's physical fitness is very good, and the injury on his back recovers quickly. It's only been a few days, and it's already like no one. It's just that he is willing to use his life to protect Zheng Xiujing at a critical moment, but its meaning will not be changed.

At this moment, Zheng Xiujing was willing to forgive Gao Yang for all his previous mistakes. Now that it has happened, and it is impossible for her to leave Gao Yang now, she can only accept it. Such a man is worth her to pay.

It's just that out of a woman's intuition, Zheng Xiujing always feels that Gao Yang still has something to hide from her. Therefore, at this time, give an opportunity, a chance for Gao Yang to take the initiative to speak out. Whatever it is, she can forgive.

"I'm sorry." Gao Yang thought twice, ignoring the group of heavily armed guards behind him. In the end, I decided to take advantage of this great opportunity to tell Zheng Xiuyan about it. Maybe there really won't be such a good time in the future.

"What?! Sister?! After listening to Gao Yang's words, Zheng Xiujing still couldn't hold back her shouting. Although since the scandal a few years ago, she has long had some doubts in her heart about something between Gao Yang and her sister. But when she really learned the news, Zheng Xiujing still couldn't control her emotions. That's her own sister. These two people close to her actually ......

Gao Yang rubbed his eyebrows. He rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and whispered, "It's all my fault, I took the initiative." After telling in detail about his past with Zheng Xiuyan. Gao Yang felt that his heart was finally relaxed. Gently hugged Zheng Xiujing into her arms and took a deep breath. whispered in her ear, "Anyway, I'm sorry." It's just that my feelings for you have never changed. ”

Zheng Xiujing, who was in a complicated mood, raised her head and looked at Gao Yang's face, which looked a little thin because of her injury. At this moment, Gao Yang's face is really thinner, but it has a little more manly charm than before.

The not handsome face with the ubiquitous unique temperament looks very manly. Compared with those beautiful men who are so handsome that women have to cover their faces and be ashamed, Gao Yang, who is full of masculinity, is more attractive to women! Especially mature women! No one knows this better than her, because this is her man!

Zheng Xiujing sighed lightly in her heart, and reached out to gently stroke Gao Yang's face. The delicate face has a hint of a light smile. Standing on tiptoe close to Gao Yang's ear, he said softly, "I forgive you, and I will never be separated again." ”

The delicate hot breath and the soft breath sprayed on Gao Yang's face, making him feel as if goose feathers were gently scratching, itchy. Gao Yang, who was full of surprise in his heart, trembled slightly and took a deep breath. Hold Zheng Xiujing in her arms hard!

......

With the collapse of the Zheng Group, there was no longer any stopping force on the sea from the north to the south. The North Korean sailors have long since declined. Since the Tokugawa shogunate closed the country, Fuso has lost its former glory for decades. Continue south. Only the Dutch on the island of Taiwan, the Portuguese in Macau, and the Spaniards in the Philippines remained!

And. The Dutch East India Company's initiative to make peace this time gave Gao Yang a good excuse to go to war. Although Gao Yang doesn't need any excuse if he wants to fight, it's better than nothing, isn't it?

The Dutch East India Company was founded in 1602 as VOC. It was a commercial company with state functions, colonial plunder to the East and a monopoly on Oriental trade. It was the world's first multinational corporation, the first company to issue shares, and the world's first mega company! It has a trade monopoly in the area from the Cape of Good Hope in the east to the Strait of Magellan at the southern tip of South America in the west.

The headquarters of the East India Company was established in the port of Batavia, on the island of Java. They had many strongholds throughout the South Seas and had a monopoly on the spice trade. The company is extremely wealthy. They had more than forty warships and more than a hundred armed merchant ships. More than 50,000 employees, and more than 10,000 mercenary troops. Extremely powerful.

It's just that these forces are in front of the state. Especially in front of a powerful country like the Ming Empire, it is simply not enough to see.

At this time, there were still more than ten years before Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan in history. The island of Taiwan is still under Dutch colonial rule. The people of the island were exploited by the Dutch and lived in misery. Goyang's next target is here! Taiwan Island! This is the eternal and inalienable territory of the Chinese nation.

Except for this thing. The Dutch also gave Gao Yang a good mouthful. That is, it was not yet 1648, and it symbolized the United Provincial Republic (for the convenience of reading, it was always called the Netherlands. The Peace of Westphalia, officially marked by independence, has not yet been formally signed. Theoretically, the Dutch were still under Spanish rule. And they took the initiative to attack Daming, giving Gao Yang an excuse to do something against Spain! And it's just an excuse!

Philippines! The Philippines that "geographically speaking, the Philippines is also very close to us" in the mouth of the great man, that is, the Luzon Islands!

This land is extremely rich in mineral resources and the land is also extremely fertile. How could Gao Yang let it go? What's more, those Spaniards massacre Chinese in the Philippines, and there will be a tragedy almost every year. If Gao Yang doesn't come back with revenge, won't he come in vain?

From the island of Taiwan all the way south to the mainland of Australia, all of them are the targets of Gaoyang's attack. He will lead the elite royal army to use the sword in his hand to open up a new living space for the Chinese nation! Pioneer a vast territory that lacks nothing and is powerful enough to be called an empire on which the sun never sets!

Until then, the first goal to restore rule is the island of Taiwan, an unsinkable aircraft carrier that the Chinese nation will never give up.

......

Towards the end of the year, a fast sailing ship flying the sun, moon and dragon flag of the Ming Empire slowly sailed into the tropical port of Batavia. Under the gaze of countless pairs of surprised eyes in the port, he leaned against the pier at the port.

Zhang Huangyan, who was only twenty-four years old, was in the middle of the matter, and with the support of two pedestrians from the Honglu Temple Pedestrian Division, he swayed off the Flying Fish fast sailing ship.

As a native of Zhejiang, Zhang Huangyan has never been to sea. And this time it was thousands of miles, and the wind and sun on the road really tortured him. Eating hard food and drinking smelly water. No fruits, no vegetables. He vomited all the way the Exocet, and now his face was fixed on the pale.

Zhang Huangyan is a person who has been in Chongzhen for fifteen years, and he is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs. During the armament exam, he used a firearm to hit all three shots, shocking everyone on the field. It is extremely rare for scholars of this era to be able to do this.

The reason why he was able to rise all the way from an ordinary lifter to quickly become the middle of the Ministry of Rites and Rites. It was entirely because Gao Yang, who knew history, took the initiative to signal Emperor Chongzhen to promote this national hero. That's right, Zhang Huangyan is a national hero.

Historically, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs in a big way. Zhang Huangyan ran around, uniting peasant armies from all over the country to cooperate with Zheng Chenggong to raise troops to resist the Qing Dynasty. Twenty years of bloody fighting! It was not until Zheng Chenggong and others died one after another, and the rule of the Manchu Qing became more and more stable, that the disheartened Zhang Huangyan disbanded the army and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.

After he was captured by the Manchu army, Yan refused to surrender. Before being killed, he was given a poem "Desperate Poem" on the execution ground. Loyal and brave all his life, for the country and the people. Together with Yue Fei and Yu Qian, they are known as the "Three Heroes of West Lake." Such a character is naturally a hero of the Chinese nation. It is also a normal thing to be able to let Gao Yang take the initiative to take care of him.

After Zhang Huangyan, who had an ugly face, stepped on the trestle, he breathed heavily in the air on the shore. Although it still has the salty smell peculiar to the sea, the meaning is different, it is the smell of earthy plants and trees mixed with the shore. He finally went ashore. I almost tossed him to death along the way.

Rubbing his legs that were soft and trembling, Zhang Huangyan, whose complexion gradually improved, solemnly sorted out the official clothes on his body. After carefully inspecting the box containing the holy decree, he walked towards the port with his attachés held high.

A pedestrian from Honglu Temple waved away the Dutch tax collector who stepped forward to collect the parking fee. He shouted, "We are the envoys of the Heavenly Empire, let the chiefs come quickly!" ”

The Ming Empire in this era was deservedly the world's first power. Whether it is in terms of economy, military or territorial prestige, it is all shaking ahead of the whole world!

The Ming officials of this era were more and more popular in the face of outsiders, and they never took these Xiyi people seriously. In their eyes, all people outside of Huaxia are barbarians! These officials never give these barbarians a good look, because they have a whole vast empire behind them!

Zheng He went to the West seven times, not only bringing gifts, but also the force of Chiguoguo! The strength of the Ming Empire spread throughout the South Seas with Zheng He's fleet. Both the natives and the European colonizers were in awe of that vast and powerful empire! (To be continued)
