Chapter 574: Zheng's retreat
The official establishment of the Nanyue Kingdom and the registration of King Zheng Cai dealt a particularly big blow to Zheng Zhilong.
You must know that Zheng Cai was just a little brother under his own hands at the beginning, but now he actually relied on the support of the Australians to establish a country in the land of South Vietnam, and he became the king, looking at himself as a general soldier, although he had the merit of supporting the Tang King.
But compared with being a king himself, and being a king justifiably, which one is good and which one is not, it can be said that he naturally wants to be the king himself, after all, he is very ambitious, and he wants to achieve a career in this troubled era.
With the Wuyishan generation of tea-producing areas controlled by Haoge, after the export of tea was restricted, the family's business income also fell by nearly forty percent.
If you can't take back the tea production, the business will get worse and worse, whether it is exported to Nanyang or Australia, the sales of tea are very huge, and now Australians have begun to collect tea from Hauge, which is not good news.
Zheng Zhilong was very afraid, once the Australians identified Hauge and purchased tea from him in the future, it would be difficult to say that they would not be biased in the war between himself and Hauge.
This is particularly important to the Zheng family, Haoge's price to the Australians is actually two percent lower than the price he gave to the Australians before, which makes Lao Zheng a little like the urge to vomit blood, you say that you are not a pit person, two percent, what does this make Australians think about themselves.
Haoge, the big robber, doesn't treat tea as a thing at all, and he can't make any money at all, which is different for the Zheng family, but it's different for Haoge, this guy's is purchased at a low price, if you dare to say a word, I will confiscate your tea garden immediately.
A robber is a robber, and it is the same if he owns the world. This is Lao Zheng's evaluation of Haoge, but when he evaluated, he seemed to forget that he was also a pirate, and he used this to comment on others because he thought about the reaction of those under his command.
Is it really good to evaluate this, big brother, we are also pirates, and now we are also sitting in Fujian.
Of course, his subordinates didn't dare to say this to him, his eldest son, Zheng Sen, came back from Australia and persuaded him to find a way out for the Zheng family, because it was not possible for the Zheng family's industry and population to be in Fujian. And also told him what the principle of egg investment is.
Lao Zheng heard that this is not the cunning rabbit three QQQ, what is the principle of eggs, it is really laughing to death, this Australian just knows some strange names, and it is the same for learning.
At that time, Lao Zheng thought, what he said is right, there are hundreds of people in the Zheng family, there is no way out, and he also agreed to the Australian's arrangement for Zheng Sen to go to Liangguang.
From this point it shows that he agrees. Agreeing with his son, it is indeed too dangerous to put all his eggs in one basket, and now Hauge's army is overwhelmed and occupies the main tea-producing area. This was very bad for him, either to join the Manchus or to South Vietnam.
And I have to start leaving for South Vietnam, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be good for me to go late. Nanyue is not a big place, and there is already the Nanyue Kingdom established by Zheng Cai, and now I heard that the remnants of the Dashun army are also going there. Concentrated the three major military forces at once, and he is not necessarily the opponent of Dashun.
Especially listening to who Dashun Army is training in Hong Kong, when Li Zicheng has already arrived, Lao Zheng feels that if he doesn't speed up, I'm afraid he won't have anything to do with himself.
If it's just that Zheng Cai stimulated him too much in Nanyue, then Zhao De's stimulus to him in Nanyang was even greater, and the Zhao family, whose strength was not as good as himself before, but he started by relying on Australians, was already so powerful.
Now I feel like Zheng Zhilong has just walked a few steps with my back to him, and then found that those opponents who are still far away from him have already run in front of him.
Hurting people, it's just too hurtful, how can these people run so fast, and after careful research, I found that they were all on the big ship of the Australians, and they had the support of Australia to have the strength they have today.
Let's talk about Liangguang, if it weren't for the support of the Australians, where would there be today's forces, Shen Youlong is now the focus of support for the Australians, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to unify the country and drive the Manchus to the outside of the customs in the future, it is also Shen Youlong, I am afraid that I will not have this opportunity.
Negotiations with the Australians have begun, Zheng Zhilong wants to go to South Vietnam to develop, first of all, he must ensure that he is not attacked by Zheng Cai, you must know that this guy has an enmity with himself, he does not have many troops, but he has taken the lead, and his many people may not be his opponent.
At this point, at least the Australian must be assured, otherwise he will never go, it is better to find a random island to continue to make a living as a pirate, or it is also a good idea to go to Japan to develop.
The negotiator sent by Australia is Li Yu, who is currently a key member of the government's cabinet and has some negotiation experience.
Li Yu's age is around twenty-five or sixteen, which is very young, which makes Zheng Zhilong feel that Australians seem to be fooling themselves, such a young official is obviously not high enough, can what he says count, don't be cheated.
As soon as Li Yu met, he could see that Lao Zheng did not trust him, he was also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the government, and he was still a member of the cabinet, so how could he be seen clearly.
Is age really that important, this is not unheard of in Australia, everyone is staring at your age and saying things, thinking that young people should not be in a big position and incompetent.
Talent and ability are all fart, and a sentence that I have eaten more salt than you have eaten will push you back.
General Zheng rest assured, the negotiation between you and me is absolutely effective, although the Australian government I represent, although young, but also has experience in working in government departments, if you have to come according to the rank, it can be regarded as a fourth-grade official.
After Li Yu sat down, he began to directly say that Zheng Zhilong did not trust him, so that he could rest assured that he should not think too much about himself, he was experienced.
Lao Zheng was a little embarrassed, smiled, and defended that he didn't mean this, but he was a little uncomfortable with the wind chill.
I don't even believe in ghosts and puppets when I make up this lie, but your face says it all, and it deceives people.
Li Yu did not delve into this issue, this is not what a qualified diplomat should do, but smiled to express understanding, and persuaded Lao Zheng to take care of his body, looking like you know and I understand, the two began to talk, discussing how to Zhang Triumph in South Vietnam, how much support Australia can give itself in this, these are all things that need to be understood in advance.
