Chapter Ninety-Six: Long-distance Friendship and Close Attack

Zheng Chenggong, as the head of the Zheng family group, did not have much time to soak in the military academy at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After taking out all the knowledge in his head and telling He Wenxing, Yao Guotai and others, Zheng Chenggong reduced the time to go to the Military Academy.

"General, the public has sent a letter saying that an envoy from the Republic of England has come to visit you!"

The Republic of England?!

Could it be the England of the Hereafter!

It has been five or six years since he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Chenggong also knows that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, many countries in later generations have not yet been established, such as the United States, such as Germany.

There are also many countries whose names are very different from those of later generations.

So when he heard that it was the envoy of the Republic of England, Zheng Chenggong guessed that it was England in later generations.

"Did the public business say what happened to the messenger?"

Chen Yonghua said: "It seems that I have come to form an alliance with our army and jointly deal with the Netherlands!" ”

"Oh!" Zheng Chenggong heard it and bowed his head to think about the benefits of an alliance with England.

"General, the intelligence organization of the Heaven and Earth Society that the lower officials were ordered to set up has heard a piece of news, and it is also related to this matter!"

The Tiandihui was a secret organization founded by Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yonghua under the slogan of anti-Qing Dynasty, and it was composed of people who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Tartars.

Many of them are martial arts people with unique skills, as well as many talents from the original Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory.

The Ming Dynasty fell, in addition to those military generals whose exploits were abandoned by the Qing Dynasty, and even with the factory guards, the largest military and political intelligence collection agency in the Ming Dynasty was also banned.

Without an umbrella, these once talkative spies are now in bad luck.

Always beware of hunting down and killing your enemies.

Now hearing that Chen Yonghua is recruiting talents, these spies from the original factory guard immediately echoed like a shark smelling blood.

With this talent and the support of Zheng Chenggong's large amount of funds, Chen Yonghua soon established a perfect spy agency.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Chenggong raised and asked.

"General, there was an uprising in Dayuan last year, Guo Huaiyi, a former Taishi's subordinate, was dissatisfied with the Dutch's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and launched an uprising on the seventh day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. The uprising failed, and more than 4,000 Han Chinese were arrested, more than 1,800 were killed, and 5,000 women and some children were captured or killed. ”

"What? How to return now! ”

"Together, the Dutch ghost on Dayuan was afraid that our army would send troops to respond to Guo Huaiyi, so he sent troops to block Dayuan and close the news. My subordinates also found out the news from the red merchants who came and went from Macau. ”

"Damn, that bastard of Aoiichi, I have already made an agreement with him not to harm my Huaxia people, if he dares to disobey, I will punish him!"

"General, the uprising has failed, and there is no hurry to send troops to conquer the Netherlands. An envoy from England was coming to discuss with our army about dealing with the Dutch. Why didn't the general listen to the other party's intentions before considering dealing with the Netherlands. ”

"Well, after meeting the envoys of England, we will discuss the strategy of sending troops!"

……

Led by the guards, Richardson walked into the city of Nanjing, looking at the sailing ships lined with ports, the tall city walls, and the lively streets.

Richardson felt that he had come to the right place, this count of the Zheng family was indeed a powerful territory.

As soon as he walked into the Tang Dynasty, Richardson immediately put his right hand on his left chest, bowed, and said, "Honorable Mr. Earl, the Lord Protector of the Republic of England would like to express his sincere greetings to you!" ”

"Well, thank you, and I hope you can bring my greetings when you go back!"

"Okay, Mr. Earl, I believe that our lord will be very happy to get the friendship of the Great Ming Kingdom!"

"Sit down and serve tea!"

The subordinates quickly brought up the Wuyi black tea.

Li looked at the delicate porcelain with a little black tea, and frowned, he had never drunk this thing before.

Looking at the water with a little red and a little black, Richardson was very entangled, can this be drunk?!

Seeing that the earl of Da Ming had already taken a few sips, he looked at himself.

Dead is dead, and in order to show respect for Da Ming, Richardson took a sip of porcelain.

As soon as I drank it, a bitter feeling filled my mouth.

Richardson wanted to spit it all out, but after swallowing it, a sweet and sweet fragrance slowly lingered in his mouth.

Richardson savored the taste and couldn't help but take a few more sips.

I ate mutton early in the morning, and I felt very greasy all morning.

After drinking this so-called tea, he seemed to feel much better, and Richardson couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Soon the bowl of tea was gone, and the servant hurriedly took back the empty bowl and put the new bowl on his table.

Richardson blushed a little and said, "This tea is so wonderful that you can't help but want to take a few more sips!" ”

Zheng Chenggong looked at Richardson drinking tea, and was a little surprised, didn't he say that the best-selling items in China were tea, porcelain, and silk?

How does it feel like he hasn't drunk it?

Could it be that tea has not yet reached England?

Zheng Chenggong's mind quickly thought for a while, and said, "Since Mr. Richardson likes this tea, I will ask someone to wrap a few packs for Mr. Li later, and go back and taste it slowly." By the way, bring some for your lord, too, as a gift from us! ”

Richardson hurriedly stood up, put one hand on his chest and said, "Thank you for the Earl's kindness, and I thank you for the gift on behalf of the lord!" ”

"It's just some tea, it's nothing, you're welcome! Mr. Richardson, I wonder why your lord sent you thousands of miles to the Far East? ”

Richardson heard that he was busy occupying it, took out a plate of papers, presented it respectfully with both hands, and said: "Mr. Earl, this is written to you by the Lord Protector of our country to Mr. Earl, please take a look!" ”

The guard took the paperwork and handed it to Zheng Chenggong.

It seems that this Richardson is also a caring person, and he is afraid that Zheng Chenggong will not be able to understand it, so he has specially attached a Chinese translation to the document.

After Zheng Chenggong read the documents, he said: "You protectors want to ally with me and deal with the Netherlands together?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Earl. I heard that the Dutch have occupied your Dayuan Island, and it just so happens that a lot of unpleasant things have happened between us and the Dutch for the sake of trade routes. We have a common enemy and can unite against the Dutch. ”

"And what does your Lord Protector pay attention to?"

"What our protector means is that the Dutch occupation of Dayuan is a strong provocation to your country, and your country should crack down on such Dutch pigs. We will also send troops against the Netherlands to help your country contain the Dutch soldiers. ”

"Mr. Richardson, all the way to the East. I'll let someone take you to rest first! ”

"Yes, Mr. Earl!" Richardson said respectfully.

After Li went down, Chen Yonghua said: "This ghost is so good, it is obvious that they are fighting with the Netherlands in the West, and you are living and dying, but now they are saying that in order to help our country, they will send troops to contain the Netherlands." ”

Zheng Chenggong also smiled when he heard it and said: "These ghosts, they can't afford to be early, if our strength is not enough, I'm afraid they won't even look at us." If the strength is strong enough, he will shake his head and wag his tail like a grandson! ”

Chen Yonghua asked, "What are you going to do, general?" ”

Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said: "An alliance is an alliance, after all, the West is very far away from our army, and there is no harm to us if there is an allied army." Moreover, the Dutch occupation of Dayuan is really a shame for me in China, I have long wanted to send troops, but there has been no good time before. But this alliance, we can't let England be held back. It should be led by us, and after they send troops to contain the main Dutch fleet, we can send troops to Dayuan. ”

"Well, it's just this rhythm, how is the general going to control it!"

During this time, Shi Lang did something unusual. Shi Lang is greedy for money and lustful, and now he is expanding his army without authorization, so this behavior is really counterproductive, and it is really necessary to guard against it. It's time to bang and knock him. Let him be a pirate and rob the Netherlands! ”

"That's a good idea! It can not only hit the Netherlands, but also will not attract the attention of the ghosts! Chen Yonghua said approvingly.

"Fufu, your heaven and earth will organize more placement and recruitment of spies in Nanyang. Nanyang is rich in resources, and it will be an important backyard garden in China in the future, which must be paid attention to. ”

"Yes, General! The lower official went to Nanyang to arrange it in person. ”

"Good work, Fufu! Always keep you running back and forth like this! ”

"It's not hard, it's an honor to serve the general!" (To be continued.) )
