Chapter 236 Preliminary Strategy

Hearing Tang Degui's words, all the shareholders were a little confused, what does this mean? He also wants to buy shares in the hands of outsiders? As soon as they reacted, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

All of you here are the leaders of the business community in Shanghai, and the details of each other are also roughly clear, Tang Degui can be elected by everyone as the president of the Sand Boat Association, and his vision and courage are recognized by everyone.

But the current situation is unclear, the fleet of Greater Luzon is so huge, can it be expected that the dozen or so small warships of the prince can be expected to escort the ocean-going trade fleet? What's more, there is also a red-haired country in the South Seas, which is more powerful than Greater Luzon, and the ocean-going trading fleet can really open up trade between the West and the Americas as advertised?

After being silent for a moment, Yin Mousen looked at Zhang Qingshan, "Old Zhang, you also often go to the South Seas, didn't you know that there was such a huge fleet in Greater Luzon before?" ”

Zhang Qingshan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Nanyang, I have also been running for more than ten years, Manila and Karopa, I have never heard of it, and I have never seen such a huge fleet. ”

Gu Mengsheng said: "I heard that this large fleet only came to Nanyang last winter. ”

"What is such a large fleet doing in the South Seas? It can't be that you want to start a war with the Qing Dynasty, right? ”

"Just those more than 10,000 people, start a war with me in the Qing Dynasty? In my opinion, it may be for Taiwan, and this Greater Luzon has competed with the Hongmao State for Taiwan before. ”

"This is a state affair, we don't have to worry about it, I'm only worried about the trade in Nanyang in the future, I'm afraid there will be a big risk."

"This is reasonable, in the past, there were Zheng Jing's sailors who fought with the Hongmao Kingdom, and now the sailors of the Qing Dynasty are far less powerful than they were back then, how can we live in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed with them, the warships of the Hongmao Country had been robbed in the South China Sea for more than ten years before, and now that Greater Luzon has such a powerful fleet, how can it not be justified to rob it?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Tang Degui smiled and said: "Don't do your best to be ambitious, isn't the shipyard of the prince building the kind of giant ship?" With the presence of the prince, our Qing Dynasty will not have a large fleet in a few years. ”

Thinking of the two huge shipyards in Shanghai, everyone couldn't help but feel relaxed, too, the Qing Dynasty will have a huge fleet in a few years, it is nothing more than a delay of a few years.

Seeing that everyone's demeanor was relaxed, but still no one was willing to partner in the acquisition of shares, Tang Degui smiled and said: "We are all begging for life at sea, the higher the risk, the greater the profit, this truth is understood, but once encountered, it is still inevitable to suffer from gains and losses, to say courage and courage, I still admire Zheng Shichang, he was lucky back then, and met the prince, but if he didn't have the guts, there would be no today's 'Four Heng', let's disperse first." ”

A group of shareholders came out of the firm, but they were still thinking about Tang Degui's words in their hearts, and they understood it, but they really didn't have the courage to gamble so much, so they should wait and see before making a decision.

Liuchun Garden, study.

Yinzhen silently looked at the map of the South China Sea, thinking about how to fight Luzon, to be exact, Manila. After the huge size of the Spanish fleet was publicized, the shareholders of the ocean-going trading fleet had already caused panic, although the shareholders in Shanghai were temporarily stabilized through Tang Degui, but the foreign shareholders still had forty and a half of the shares.

In order to monopolize the commercial trade in the East, the Dutch indulged in warships to rob the trading fleets in the South China Sea, and many maritime merchants went bankrupt.

Yinzhen is even more worried that after the news of Spain's large-scale massacre of Han Chinese in Manila came out, no businessmen would dare to trade in Manila this year, and in order to make up for the losses, Spain's fleet would definitely loot in the South China Sea, and they even dared to attack the ocean-going trade fleet, not to mention other trading fleets in the South Seas?

Once the news of the robbery of the fleet in the South China Sea comes out, it will certainly be worse, causing the panic of the shareholders, so that there will be a phenomenon of withdrawing shares and selling shares, if it is a small amount, he can still bear it, once it exceeds 30%, his ocean-going fleet is likely to face the situation of no rice to cook, I hope that the stability of Shanghai can be delayed for a while, but even if it is delayed, it will not be delayed for several months.

was pondering, but heard that the thirteenth master was coming, Yinxiang also heard all kinds of rumors outside, and as soon as he came in, he was quite worried and said: "Things are very tricky? ”

Yinzhen nodded and said in a deep voice: "July to September is the typhoon period in the South China Sea, I have to send troops at least before June, otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable." ”

Troops before June? Yinxiang was shocked in his heart, and blurted out: "Just the navy's men, warships?" ”

Yinzhen smiled slightly, and then said: "I can move more soldiers and horses than the navy, Fujian Navy Admiral Shi Shibiao is the vice president of the Naval Academy, in addition, before leaving Beijing, Huang Ama transferred 6,000 green battalions from Liangguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, and the 3,000 flag soldiers formed in the capital are all naval establishments, although they are stationed in Taiwan. ”

Yinxiang pondered for a moment before saying: "The large-scale transfer of the Fujian Navy Division requires the warrant of the Emperor Ama, this matter, you have invited the Emperor Ama?" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Yinzhen said: "As soon as Emperor Ama issued an edict, this movement will be big, Taiwan, those ministers strongly advocated giving up back then, how could they support the expedition to Luzon?" In this matter, it has to be cut first and then played, and the Fujian Navy can only be dispatched in the name of suppressing pirates, and besides, there is no need for too many people in Luzon. ”

"The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous, and the fourteenth brother should not be careless." Yinxiang said solemnly: "There were more than 2,000 Dutch talents entrenched in Taiwan back then, and more than 20,000 Zheng Chenggong fought for nearly a year, not to mention that Spain has more than 10,000 people and such a huge fleet, can you fight with more than 20,000 people?" ”

"Fourteen is not Zheng Jing, and the navy is not a rabble." Yinzhen said and pointed to the map spread out on the table and said, "Thirteenth brother come to take a closer look, see if this method is feasible?" ”

Hearing that Yinzhen had a preliminary idea, Yinxiang hurriedly came up, Yinzhen pointed to Luzon on the map of the South China Sea and said: "Although Spain has 15,000 troops, the navy accounts for more than 10,000, and the troops stationed in Manila City are only 800 firecrackers and 2,000 indigenous swords and spearmen.

The city of Manila is the only Spanish stronghold in the South Seas, and the Spaniards cannot watch Manila fall, and his navy is likely to enter the city to support, so that the navy will become an army, which can be said to be a complete loss of advantage.

In addition, our navy can also take the opportunity to harass and drag down part of his navy, making it difficult for the Spaniards to take care of both ends. ”
