Chapter 385: The Contingency and Inevitability of History

History has a lot of contingencies, and there are also a lot of inevitability.

In the case of the defeat of Guangning and the fall of Liaodong, Wang Huazhen, as the governor of Liaodong, sent Mao Wenlong to attack Zhenjiang, and Mao Wenlong set off with 197 people, which belonged to the nature of a death squad.

In fact, Wang Huazhen may not be able to look up to Mao Wenlong, however, Wang Huazhen has achieved Mao Wenlong, he has been promoted from a garrison to the general army of a town, in charge of the Pingliao General Yin, the governor of the left capital of Jin, and the official residence.

But in Mao Wenlong's heart, Wang Huazhen is his benefactor and has the grace of knowing him.

"Mao Wenlong is handsome, born in poverty, frank, but extremely affectionate!"

Quan Xu looked at Cao Huachun and said with a wry smile: "The court is discussing the disposal of Wang Huazhen, Mao Shuai will definitely not stay out of the world, if he jumps out, he will inevitably become a target!" ”

Cao Huachun naturally knew the relationship between Wang Huazhen and Mao Wenlong.

In fact, Wang Huazhen is a member of the Donglin Party, a disciple of Ye Xianggao, the head of the cabinet, because of the defeat of Guangning, when he took responsibility, he and Xiong Yanbi became a situation of death and death, and when he saw the situation of the Donglin Party protecting Xiong and demolishing the king, he directly returned to the dynasty and took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, under the protection of Wei Zhongxian, Wang Huazhen survived, and Xiong Yanbi was beheaded.

In this time and space, because of the appearance of Quan Xu and the serious loss of Huang Taiji, the Donglin Party in the imperial court is still very powerful, and Wang Huazhen, who is the remnant of the eunuch party, is naturally pulled out for liquidation.

Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Mao Shuai is a wonderful person!" ”

"In this world, the more mellow people are, the less good they will end!"

Quan Xu sighed: "As long as the Donglin Party pulls the pigtails, Mao Shuai will shed his skin even if he doesn't die!" ”

Mao Wenlong will definitely not ignore Wang Huazhen, but his political energy is limited, although he is also a chief military officer, his energy is almost none, and he is not even as good as Quan Xu, who is almost the enemy of the dynasty, Quan Xu at least has Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli and Lu Xiangsheng's protégé Zhang Mu, but Mao Wenlong has nothing.

"Gonggong Cao, when you return to Beijing, you will meet Mao Shuai and make Your Majesty unhappy, help with a few kind words!"

Quan Xu said with a gloomy expression: "It's best to keep Mao Shuai, although Mao Shuai is not in every way, he is still loyal to His Majesty, looking at the whole world, there are really not many imperial parties, Sun Ge is always one, Yuan Keli Yuan is also one, and others ...... How much is selfish! ”

Cao Huachun groaned: "Quan Shuai is an open person!" ”

Quan Xu said sincerely: "I have no choice, you have also seen it in Liaodong, Liaodong people return to Liao, this is the trend of the times, non-human can stop, my parts, nominally listen to me, once I can't guarantee their interests, they will no longer care about my life or death!" ”

Of course, Quan Xu is telling a lie, but Cao Huachun believes it.

He is in the palace, and he knows very well that once he grasps power, his subordinates are like clouds, and once Chongzhen orders to deal with him, he is like Wei Zhongxian.

"However, the current situation is not so bad that it is out of control!"

Quan Xu smiled coldly: "I'm in Liaodong, Huang Taiji can't be my non-existent, he dares to lead his troops westward, I will take the whole family army to copy his back road, Mao Shuai ruined Shenyang, I can also destroy his new capital!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Huachun was relieved.

Saving Mao Wenlong for Quanxu is actually not very difficult, Mao Wenlong is determined to do something for Wang Huazhen, but he can't do anything, at most he will be bitten by Wang Huazhen's remnants, that's all.

It's just that Cao Huachun and Quan Xu never thought that Mao Wenlong was in a hurry to go to the doctor, he sold the ordnance, and openly bribed him with the money from the sale of the ordnance, and was denounced again, not only was he dismissed from the Zunhua chief military officer, but he was also thrown into prison and accompanied by Wang Huazhen.

Although Quan Xu guessed that Mao Wenlong would be angry, he just didn't expect him to take such a way and end gloomily.

Of course, Quan Xu didn't have time to worry about Mao Wenlong, his own crisis had already come to the door.

Yuan Keli came.

Yuan Keli, as Quan Xu's teacher, naturally can't be fooled casually, even if Yuan Keli doesn't open his mouth, Quan Xu also knows that Yuan Keli is for Quan Xu's marriage.

It has been nearly four years in this time and space, and Quan Xu will be thirty years old soon, and at his age, if he doesn't get married, it's a bit too much.

As the saying goes, history has a lot of contingencies, and there are also a lot of inevitability.

Just like the Buddhists talk about cause and effect, Quan Xu guessed that even if he had detained Alfonso, the representative of the East India Company, the employees of the East India Company, and twenty-two armed merchant ships, the Dutch would not have directly started a war with Liaodong.

After all, they have no direct conflict of interest, on the contrary, there is room and prospect for cooperation, Quanxu has superior steel technology to Europe, as well as advanced mining and machinery and equipment technology than Europe, and of course, advanced technology in weapons and equipment, these technologies and equipment are all needed by the Dutch.

At most, the Dutch and Quanxu would clash over the interests of the Far East, but the conflict between the British and the Spaniards and the Dutch would be fatal, and they would directly threaten the Dutch mainland and the whole of Southeast Asia.

However, after Erwin recovered from his injury, when he was about to report to the board of directors, he received an accident from Liaodong, and Xiu Wubo seized 22 armed merchant ships of the East India Company on the grounds that Alfonso intended to murder him, which caused the anger of the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company.

The Dutch East India Company was a state, with the creation of an army, the issuance of currency, independent diplomacy, the right to conclude formal treaties with other nations, and the right to colonize and rule the land.

The strength of the Dutch East India Company is also quite terrifying, first of all, they have more than 40 Dutch 3th class warships, and at the same time have more than 150 armed merchant ships and more than 50,000 employees.

It is a larger company in the world, of course, because Quanxu's existence is the first in the world, it has been picked up by Quanxu, and the Quanji company has more than 50,000 people in the army alone, if you count the remodeled Fair Army, plus the Quanjiazhuang Town of the Daimyo Mansion, Quanxu's real army is nearly 60,000 people, and there are more than 300,000 employees under his command.

Quanji now has an annual production capacity of more than 3 million stone of salt, a total production capacity of nearly 7 million stone of corn, soybeans, wheat and other grains, and the actual control of about 3.2 million mu of fields.

Of course, in terms of income, Quanji is far inferior to the East India Company, the Indian company relies on robbery, and Quanxu is manufacturing. Part-time robbery.

If it is said that it is out of the instinct of a soldier, General Erwin will not go to war with Liaodong before he has the confidence to absolutely defeat the whole family army, but the key is that when Quan Xu piloted the seal to attack the Dutch fleet, he caused great trauma to Erwin, he was not only blind in one eye, but also had multiple fractures on his body.

The point is that his lower body was hit by the sail rope of the Philips, don't look at it just a rope, that kind of rope weighs hundreds of pounds, after more than three months of healing, even the experienced doctors said that there is nothing they can do about Erwin, and they want him to regain his male masculinity, unless God manifests.

As a man, once he loses his masculine roots, his heart will be distorted and deformed.

It doesn't matter what the big picture, what the country, it doesn't matter.

In the process of reporting to the board of directors, Erwin not only added fuel and vinegar to the prosperity of Liaodong, but also weakened the equipment and combat effectiveness of Junming.

The most core area of Liaodong is called Jinzhou, he pointed to the map of Sumatra Island and said: "They Seris people also call Sumatra Jinzhou, yes, a long time ago, Sumatra was also a vassal state of the Seris people, gentlemen, you may not have been to Liaodong, but you must have been to Jinzhou, Liaodong is another Jinzhou, there are boundless forests, you can develop infinite timber, those who are rich in gold, as long as we capture Liaodong, we can get more than occupying ten Luzon!" ”

In the face of Erwin's demagogy, the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company was extremely divided: "The Cyrisians have a large number of people, and it is said that there are more than two million troops ......"

Erwin sneered: "Give me 20,000 firefighters, I can occupy the entire Ming Dynasty in two years, of course, as long as you give me fifty warships, I will take Liaodong within half a year and give the board a complete Golden State!" ”

Erwin's words are very demagogic, of course, he has never failed the board as a soldier, no matter how powerful the country, it is vulnerable under Erwin's command, and he has established his prestige with successive victories, as well as his credibility.

Now Erwin is crazy, he only wants revenge, and nothing else.

The Dutch East India Company quickly passed a resolution of the board of directors and decided to go to war with Liaodong on the pretext that Quanxu had withheld Alfonso, the plenipotentiary of the East India Company, and the employees of the East India Company.

To this end, the Dutch East India Company mobilized 17 ships, that is, nearly half of the 3rd class warships of the Dutch East India Company, as well as 35 armed merchant ships, with more than 4,000 elite troops, which is nearly half of the armed forces of the Dutch East India Company.

Obviously, the lions and rabbits need to do their best, and the Dutchman's East India Company is also exerting all the armed forces that can be mobilized, a total of 53 large warships or armed merchant ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, loaded with food, water, and gunpowder, transporting more than 4,000 armed forces, killing Liaodong with murderous spirit.

Of course, at the speed of the sail warships of this era, if they want to reach Liaodong, they will need to go through more than a month of drifting.

Jeon Wook was also unaware of the danger coming, however, despite this, he also sensed that something was wrong.

Because the Dutch did not send people over to negotiate again, and there were no other actions, as if these people were thrown in Liaodong and left them to fend for themselves.

This made Quan Xu vigilant, unlike Da Ming, there are many people in Da Ming, and in the process of the war with Houjin, tens of thousands of people were captured, Da Ming can not care, and he will not seek any idea of exchanging prisoners.

But the Dutch are different, they have few people, and everyone is precious.
