"The Grand Duke!" Li Guangdi was still inspecting the military port, and it was not until an hour later that he came to Geng Jingzhong's special office.

"Brother Li, sit!" Geng Jingzhong raised his hand and gestured. "Is this report okay?" He asked again with certainty.

Li Guangdi saw that Geng Jingzhong had in his hand a telegram about Guangdong that had been conveyed earlier. But after he read it, he asked people to transfer it to Geng Jingzhong, he knew that Westerners were generally involved, and Geng Jingzhong personally handled them, and he was ready to wait for Geng Jingzhong's opinion to come out before making a calculation. "What the report said should be true, but it's not easy for the subordinates to make a decision immediately, so they sent someone to send this report to the Metropolitan Governor!"

"So what do you think should be done at this time?" Geng Jingzhong asked, staring at Li Guangdi's face.

"This, the first reaction of the subordinates before was to kill, our Mawei Army is in charge of Guangdong for the first time, and we must combine grace and power, and we need to make an example of these resisting forces. However, his subordinates immediately thought that the Portuguese had been entrenched in Guangdong and Macao for a long time, and their strength was also good, so they did not dare to make a rash decision. Li Guangdi immediately said what he thought.

"You should know what I mean." Geng Jingzhong sighed and said, "In fact, this matter doesn't need to be reported to me, you can handle it yourself." You know that I don't have much of a good impression of these foreigners, especially if I have ill intentions towards our Huaxia. Portugal has occupied Macao for 100 years, and Macau should have been taken back, and it was not ready to take action against them immediately. Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to jump out. ”

"The Grand Duke. The subordinates are feeling. Now is a critical time, a war is breaking out in the country, and it is indeed inappropriate to reproduce other incidents. Luzon was taken by us, the Spaniards were driven away, we have already set up a strong enemy, and the Netherlands has also begun to fight with us, although Europe is contained by Britain, and you also said that a war is also breaking out in Europe, but there is no definite news about this after all. If there is no war in Europe or the war has ended, and the Spaniards and the Netherlands invade Luzon again or attack our Fujian directly, wouldn't it be worth the loss for us to offend one more Portugal at this time! Li Guangdi analyzed slowly. When I first got the report, my thoughts were not so clear, but after thinking about it for a while, I was gushing endlessly at this moment.

"Hmm~ I see!" Geng Jingzhong listened carefully, but he didn't expect Li Guangdi to consider such a question. "You don't have to worry about things in Europe at all, the whole of Europe is no better than ours, and even more chaotic. Most of the countries of Europe were already involved in the war, and Portugal was no exception. It will take at least three years for several European maritime powers to free up their hands to meddle in the East. There were three years. I'm afraid that the overall situation in the country will be about the same, and they will wait until they rush to East Asia. Will we still be afraid of them at that time? ”

"The Metropolitan is so confident about the situation in Europe?" To be honest, Li Guangdi is still a little uneasy, although Geng Jingzhong is accurate every time, but this time it is more severe than before, so Li Guangdi has to be cautious.

Geng Jingzhong laughed: "Brother Li, you have been thinking too much, what the Governor of Pontus said so far has been wrong and omission, and now our first task is to consolidate our territory and eradicate all the hostile forces." Europe is definitely in chaos right now, and it will be in chaos for several years. Those hairy people want to pull out their hands to deal with us, that's very rare! ”

"Since the Metropolitan Governor said so, his subordinates will also know what to do! These Portuguese must have been so presumptuous and bold that they must have been accustomed to local authority, and no one dared to restrain them. The subordinate Jian yì immediately ordered the arrest of those Portuguese, and punished according to the severity of the situation, and so far there has not been a prisoner from a Western country in our prison in Fujian. Li Guangdi sneered twice and said.

"Okay, let's follow the original regulations, let the horsetail warriors go in and arrest people, and if they encounter resistance, they will be humanely destroyed on the spot." Geng Jingzhong also said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. "Now let them have a few more days, after all, we still need them to help drive the development of Guangdong, if the Western Portuguese are also driven away, it will have a great impact on Guangdong's commerce and trade."

"Then just deal with those culprits, and let the others go for the time being, but the Metropolitan Governor. What if the Portuguese governor also shielded these people? ”

"That old guy wouldn't be so unwise, after all, our strength is there, and they still want to fight us. If the Portuguese governor also shielded these culprits, then we would have to eliminate them directly! Geng Jingzhong sneered and said: "The Portuguese are very shrewd, and they are not inferior to any other country in doing business. Their naval strength is not as strong as that of Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, but it is okay. But they forgot that this is not their Portugal, and they want to be presumptuous on our territory, which is really blind! Completely eliminating them will have a bad impact on the development of Guangdong, but it is just an impact, and it is not that we can't play without them! ”

"Okay, in this case, my subordinates will immediately send orders to Guangzhou, let them continue to implement the clean-up plan according to the original plan, and at the same time let Jiang Dejun send people to cooperate, I don't believe that the army is pressing, and those Portuguese foreign hairs dare to be so arrogant." Li Guangdi saw that Geng Jingzhong was still so confident, and his confidence also rose sharply, and he swore that he would say.

"That's it, by the way, how are you preparing for the collection of large merchant ships to Luzon to help continue the transportation of cavalry divisions?" Geng Jingzhong suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Li Guangdi was also accustomed to Geng Jingzhong's way of speaking: "It's ready, tomorrow the Kunpeng fleet and the newly recruited eighteen seagoing ships will set off, this time and again, in a month and a half, presumably the remaining 4,000 cavalry division soldiers can also be brought back!" ”

The thirty ships of the Kunpeng fleet and the eighteen newly recruited ships make a total of forty-eight. There are still 4,000 cavalry division soldiers to pick up, and the allocation is that each ship can accommodate less than a hundred people. And this time, just like the last time, a part of the war horses will be brought back at the same time. In addition to accommodating 4,000 soldiers, the 48 ships can also accommodate 50 more horses per ship at most, which means that the number of horses that can be transported back this trip is not as good as the previous one, and only about 2,400 horses can be transported.

The remaining 1,500 Yunnan war horses that were robbed by various troops in Fuzhou, plus the 3,000 war horses that were brought back last time, already have a number of 4,500, and if 2,4500 horses are brought back this time, the total number will reach 7,000. The troops of the 6,000 cavalry division, temporarily equipped with 7,000 war horses, were barely used. According to the standards of cavalry divisions, each cavalry should be equipped with two war horses, and it will continue to increase in the north, reaching three or even four horses per person. The current Jungar Mongolian cavalry is one person and three horsemen, and its mobility is quite strong!

"This number seems to be a little less, in recent years, I remember that we have built a lot of new ships in Fujian shipyards, right? Is it no longer a port at this moment? Geng Jingzhong asked suspiciously. In the past few years, Fujian's shipyards have been building new ships every year, and before taking Luzon, due to the lack of timber, each shipyard can only build small boats with 400 materials or less, and there is no problem at all with offshore navigation, but it is completely impossible to sail to the sea. After the Mawei Army took Luzon Island, or after taking the Philippines, the hundred-year-old giant trees abounded there, and the Luzon Governor's Office used the cooperation between the natives and the natives to cut down a large number of giant trees that were more than 100 years old, and then sent them to Fujian in a steady stream.

It can be said that more than half of the merchant ships from Luzon to the ports of Houyu and Yuegang in Fujian are now transporting timber. These giant logs are used to make the keel of the ship, and after the keel is ready, the other parts do not actually need long-lasting wood. Coupled with the continuous construction of the Pingtan Island Shipyard, dozens of seagoing ships comparable to the merchant ships of the Kunpeng fleet have indeed been born in the past two years. Originally, because Kangxi came to a holy decree three years ago, he secretly warned Geng Jingzhong not to expand at will, but after the Mawei Army took Luzon, Geng Jingzhong also left this matter behind.

With Luzon Island as the backing, the upper echelons of the entire Mawei group have become much more courageous. It's just a batch of merchant ships, not directly built warships, even if Kangxi gets the news, there will be no substantive action. What's more, no matter how strong the sea power is, Kangxi is not too worried. As long as the local army in Fujian does not develop, then he wants to take Fujian at his fingertips, so Kangxi really didn't care about it later.

"Back to the Grand Governor, a large number of merchant ships have traveled to and from several ports of the Japanese Kingdom and Luzon Island, and in recent days, there have been a total of eighteen ships in the port of Houyu and those who have just returned, which is already a relatively large number in the same period. However, I estimate that there should be more than a dozen ships on the Moon Harbor side, and the subordinates have already sent people Pegasus to the Moon Harbor, presumably when the merchant ships on the Monkey Island Harbor arrive at the Port of Manila, the ships on the Moon Harbor side will almost arrive! Li Guangdi said with a smile on his face. It's still very simple for him to deal with these things, just arrange a few times at will, and he doesn't need to think about it at all.

After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hehe, you are still so organized, if there are ten more ships on the Yuegang side, you can transport nearly two thousand more war horses back this trip." Then come back again, and the returning warriors will have two horses! (To be continued......)
