In the history of another time and space, Zheng Zhilong was not wrong to take refuge in wild boar skin. But the problem is that this guy left his son behind and continued to follow Remnant Ming.

History records that Zheng Zhilong and his son parted ways, and the two embarked on two different paths.

But the question is, is this really the case?

Most people believe that this is the truth, but Zhao Hongyu doesn't think much of it.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong's approach at that time was just a kind of speculation.

Don't look at the wild boar skin swept the Ming Dynasty at that time, but at that time, people still had reservations about wild boar skin.

For the Ming people, wild boar skins are all foreign people, and it is impossible to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty. But at that time, the wild boar skin was in full swing, and you couldn't force it at all.

Otherwise, it will be a broken end.

In this situation at that time, anyone who is smart will know how to make a choice.

And if the wild boar skin is untenable on the side of the Ming Dynasty and finally withdraws from the Central Plains. Those generals who have taken refuge and are die-hard will not end well.

Therefore, it is more reliable to divide a door or a family into two parts, and it is considered two investments.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong was probably thinking of such a wishful thinking.

His son stayed, once the Ming Dynasty could reoccupy the rivers and mountains, then he would be a minister of the dragon. Even if the Ming Dynasty falls, he can also rely on the wild boar skin court to ensure his family bloodline.

I have to say that this abacus bead is really crackling.

But the problem is that Zheng Zhilong's plan is very good, but the result is good, which is different from what he imagined.

Ji Luhua couldn't keep up with the rapid changes, and he couldn't control the thinking of the wild boar skin court, so it was not surprising that he ended up with such a fate.

But anyway. Zheng Zhilong is also a smart person, but he is just clever and mistaken by cleverness.

At least he was successful for decades before he died, wasn't he?

At this time, Zhao Hongyu had already left the hall with Li Xiang and began to walk slowly on the corridor in the mansion.

Although I don't look down on many things of the Japanese people, I have to say that the layout and decoration of the Japanese people's housing are still good.

This mansion was originally the residence of the lord of Nagasaki Castle, so it was much more luxurious than ordinary houses.

The entire courtyard is paved with fine gravel, and there is a pine tree in the center of the courtyard. There is also a small gazebo on the side. and neat bluestone paved paths.

There is even a small man-made pond on the edge of the cloister, which is stocked with a lot of koi fish.

Although it was already a harsh winter and the temperature was already very low, the small pond was made of circulating hot spring water, so there was no need to worry about the temperature of the koi in the pond.

The snow is falling slowly in the sky, the hot springs in the pools are white mist, and the warm hot spring water is constantly flowing from the artificial rockery, even though it is winter. But it also makes the whole courtyard look very comfortable.

Zhao Hongyu and Li Xiang walked to the pool and stopped, and the maids who followed them lowered their heads and kept a distance of five meters.

The wooden floor on the cloister was cool, but fortunately, Zhao Hongyu and Li Xiang were both wearing thick Japanese cotton socks. You don't have to worry about getting frozen.

Watching the koi swimming around in the pool, Zhao Hongyu turned around with his hands behind his back and looked up and set his eyes on the small pavilion in the courtyard.

"I didn't expect Li Xiang's strength to be quite strong, and a Haikou could mix to such a point. Come to think of it, this guy is not a person to take lightly. ”

Because of listening to the information provided by Li Xiang, Zhao Hongyu had already roughly judged Zheng Zhilong's overall strength.

There were six or seven hundred large warships, and there were almost four or five thousand small and medium-sized sea ships. Such a force is placed on the eastern side of the sea. That's already very tough.

If it was just a pirate, I don't think anyone would have such a strong force except for Li Xiang, who was already down.

Except for the court of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it was a state apparatus, and Zheng Zhilong was a person.

Li Xiang nodded with a serious face: "Yes, Your Highness." Zheng Zhilong is a very cunning and scheming person, if he is not careful to guard against him, he may fall into the way. I just didn't watch out for him in the first place, that's why I ended up like this. ”

If you want to say that Li Xiang hates Zheng Zhilong or not, it must be hated.

But Li Xiang also admires Zheng Zhilong very much, because Zheng Zhilong is a very capable person.

Everyone is a pirate, you are better than me, you are better than me, I am not as good as you, I am stupid, this is not to blame.

At this point, Li Xiang is still very responsible.

He doesn't complain.

"Lao Li, what do you think of the warships under my command?"

After Zhao Hongyu had a measure in his heart, he stopped thinking about Zheng Zhilong.

He turned his mind and was ready to start explaining something to Li Xiang, about the defense of Kyushu in the future.

If you start immigrating, then Zhao Hongyu will definitely need to maintain a stable sea lane. This passage must not be destroyed, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

In Zhao Hongyu's plan, refugees were recruited from Datong and Shaanxi, as well as from the northwest. These displaced people were then transported by ship from the Dengzhou area of Shandong Province to San Francisco, so the route from here in Kyushu to Daimyo had to be stable.

This is also one of the reasons why he chose Li Xiang for what he wanted.

After all, Li Xiang still controlled the sea trade route between the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, and the line from Dengju to Kyushu happened to be under Li Xiang's control.

Even if Zhao Hongyu recruited displaced people in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, he eventually had to pass through Kyushu to get to San Francisco.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong is not in Zhao Hongyu's choice.

Zheng Zhilong controlled the sea areas of Fujian and the southern region, and Zhao Hongyu would not take that sea route at all.

Therefore, dealing with Zheng Zhilong, this is completely unnecessary.

"Your Highness is talking about the sea ships moored at the docks of Nagasaki Port?"

Li Xiang asked.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Not bad!" That's the warship I came to the Wa Kingdom this time, and it's also the warship of my Great Song Dynasty Standing Sailor Division, what do you think? ”

"It looks fierce, and it's definitely a weapon at sea. It's just that I don't know some of the other aspects of this kind of sea vessel, so my subordinates don't dare to draw conclusions too early. ”

Li Xiang is cautious, but it's not strange to think about it.

He saw the Song Empire warships moored at the port of Nagasaki, but the problem was that he only saw it.

These ships looked very powerful, and the hull was huge to defend Li Qiang, and they also had a lot of artillery.

However, Li Xiang didn't know what would happen to this kind of sea ship if it sailed on the sea.

For example, the speed of the tiger run, the range of the tiger run, the power, and the defense of the hull, etc., what if this kind of ship looks great, but it is just a showcase.

Therefore, Li Xiang did not give a positive answer.

In this regard, Zhao Hongyu did not care.

Then, Zhao Hongyu told Li Xiang about the parameters of the Song Empire's warships.

Li Xiang's mouth gradually opened, and she looked very funny with a silly look.

Because Zhao Hongyu told him about these battleship parameter information, he was really shocked.

Compared with similar Southern Barbarian warships, the Song Empire's warships sailed more than four or five times faster, which was simply appalling. At the same time, the gun, which also looked larger than its counterparts, had more than twice the range of the guns of the same period.

That is to say, if the warships of the Song Empire were to fight with the enemy at sea.

With their superior speed, they can keep a distance from the enemy, and in turn inflict heavy damage on the enemy in a safe place where the enemy cannot reach him.

Even if you run away, the enemy won't be able to catch up at all.

At the same time, because of the tall hull, this also made the warships of the Song Empire much higher than those of the same period. In particular, it is higher than the warships of the East, so this brings great difficulty to the broadside battle.

Of course, this is also just in case.

Although the warships of the Song Empire were fast, what if they were approached by the enemy and had to fight hand-to-hand?

It was with this in mind that the warships of the Song Empire were raised a lot.

In this way, the warships of the Song Empire are simply sharp weapons at sea.

Li Xiang didn't know what kind of ship this kind of warship could fight against.

Even by quantity.

After experiencing the initial shock, some light began to appear in Li Xiang's eyes.

He even thought again, if he could have such a warship under his command, then what was he afraid of Zheng Zhilong.

But the question is, can this highness hand over such a warship to himself to lead?

Come to think of it, this kind of battleship is so strong, it will definitely not be handed over to a person whose loyalty has not yet been determined.

Therefore, when he thought of this, the brilliance in Li Xiang's eyes slowly dimmed again.

"Your Highness, hearing you say this, my subordinates feel that the empire's warships are on the eastern side, which is definitely second to none." , Li Xiang stretched out his right hand and gave a thumbs up at the same time.

Zhao Hongyu nodded modestly at all and said, "I think so too." ”

Li Xiang suddenly cried and laughed, although what he said was the truth, but this crown prince couldn't be modest.

"Lao Li, the three ships you brought must be common military ships along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Zhao Hongyu asked.

Li Xiang nodded and replied, 'Yes'.

After getting the answer, Zhao Hongyu looked up at the snowy night sky with his hands behind his back, and then said to Li Xiang: "Presumably, the most elite and capable sea ship under the command of Zheng Zhilong is this kind of Ming-style warship, right?" (To be continued......)
