Chapter 102: Hong Kong

Of course, the reason why it was transferred from one of the two health centers to one health center. It is also something that Lu Zhongheng has thought about.

Because the army is not the same as the naval division.

No matter how the sailor arranges it. All fought in ship units. As long as the personnel are transferred on a ship-by-ship basis. There will not be much loss of combat effectiveness. After all, the flags of the Ming Dynasty commanding the water war are all the same, and there is no situation where the Fujian sailors can understand it and the Guangdong sailors can't understand it.

But the Army is different.

The coordination between the armies is more complicated. Can the troops drawn from all over the country come as soon as they are summoned and be able to fight? Mr. Rok was skeptical.

This is the reason why a health center was finally transferred as a whole.

And the selection of mahout guards is also screened layer by layer. One layer of filtering. It is to take into account the climate of the South Seas, and the soldiers choose the south instead of the north. The further south the better. And the mahout guard wants to tam elephants, think about the places where the elephants are herds, what are the places.

Secondly, it is the reason for the generals of the Beijing camp.

There are also mahout guards who are seriously overstaffed, and thousands of people are still on the shelves. But if you transfer other health centers, this may not be the case.

However, the army has their problems, and the sailors also have a problem that gives Lu Zhongheng and He Xi a headache. That is, the recoil of the cannon is too great.

He Xi presided over a ship's cannon launch in Ningbo. But as a result, there was a crack directly in the keel below. Although it is said that it did not sink directly. But at sea, if this goes wrong, it's a big problem.

The craftsmen consulted, and the answer was that in the end, they could directly build a new ship capable of carrying artillery, that is, a gunboat. Of course, the design of this kind of warship is still different from that of later sail battleships. In general, there is no difference from Fukubune, but it has been specially reinforced.

This is of course impossible.

Shipbuilding, even with ready-made timber, can take several months. I can't catch up with the southern expedition at all.

Secondly, it is to strengthen the existing warships.

There is a problem with this, though.

To build a new ship is to draw on a blank sheet of paper. No inhibitions. As long as it solves the problem. But the old ships are different. There are restrictions of one kind or another. This is a test of the craftsman's ability.

Now, before setting off, the craftsmen have finally rebuilt the ship.

He Xizheng invited Lu Zhongheng to watch the test gun together. But before departure, two pieces of news followed.

One is the king of Manthorn who broke with Java. Throw yourself on the side of the Ming Dynasty. The other is the civil strife in the Old Port.

Seeing this, He Xi said to Lu Zhongheng: "It seems that the Nanyang side can't wait. ”

Lu Zhongheng said; "This Yang Shiqi. It's really beyond my expectations, I thought Wenwen was weak and could do such a thing. Is it really unseemly? ”

He Xi said: "Yang Shiqi? ”

Lu Zhongheng said: "Yang Yu Zi Shiqi. ”

He Xi said: "I see. He Xi really didn't care much about the words of his subordinates. And Yang Shiqi is not his more important subordinate. Of course, if he knew that Yang Yu was Yang Shiqi, he would never send him south.

After all, in his mind, Yang Shiqi seems to be a master of internal affairs.

And now it seems that talents have been cultivated. Historically, Yang Shiqi is a master of internal affairs, which is directly related to his decades of experience. Now Yang Shiqi was thrown outside as an envoy by He Xi. This matter will definitely have a great impact on Yang Shiqi.

After all, Yang Shiqi at this moment has already determined to become a master of swordsmanship. This kind of situation is certainly not in the history of Yang Shiqi.

It's just that He Xi doesn't know what kind of cultivation method he can cultivate Yang Shiqi, the talent of the prime minister, into?

However, He Xi had a feeling of eagerness to try.

Lu Zhongheng said: "That's right. What about the Old Port? ”

Lu Zhongheng didn't pay much attention to the old port before. However, the old port took the initiative to come and dedicated the old port city. That's what interests Lu Joong-hyung, that's right. The person who dedicated the city was Liang Sizu. Liang Daoming is really a veteran, if he doesn't make a move, he will do his best.

What does it mean to hook up with Da Ming, and surrender directly.

When the Ming Dynasty went south, it was impossible to completely use the local power of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally wanted to use the power of the South Seas for his own use. Therefore, the Liang family acted like this, even if it was a horse bone in Qianjin City, it had to be well settled.

What? You said that the old port is not the Liang family. And another Chen Zuyi?

Don't think about these details. And Liang Daoming really didn't think about killing Chen Zuyi before Daming went south?

In the change of the old port, Chen Zuyi certainly made the first move. Even if Chen Zuyi doesn't do it, Liang Daoming may not do it. In terms of ruthlessness, Liang Daoming is no worse than Chen Zuyi. It's just a matter of winning and losing.

He Xi also secretly regretted in his heart, if the sailor went south, there would be a big city first, it would be a very good thing for the army, although there was a full thorn plus submission, but is the full thorn plus trustworthy? This still needs to be tested.

It's just that something like this happened in the Old Port.

He Xi said: "Let's ask about the situation first." ”

A moment later, Liang Sizu was called.

Liang Sizu is in his twenties, like a rich man, not like a pirate. Conduct yourself in the world, and have the style of a scholar. If not, few people know that this man came out of a pirate's den. As Liang Daoming's most valued grandson. Liang Sizu is not without talent. It's just that his talent is not suitable for Nanyang.

This may also be the reason why Liang Daoming wants to sell the Liang family at a good price.

Liang Sizu is obviously very suitable for mixing in Daming.

Liang Sizu knew that Liang Daoming was dead, and the Liang family in the old port no longer existed. I cried bitterly for a while. almost fainted from crying, knelt on the ground, and said: "Although the grandfather of the grass people is a foreigner, he is also a descendant of Yan and Huang. This knows that the imperial court is going south, looking forward to it day and night, and what he thinks is that he can return to the heavenly empire in this life, and he is very lucky. Now that he was harmed by Xiaoxiao, the grass people invited the soldiers of the Celestial Empire to avenge my grandfather. For Nanyang, he looked forward to the court going south to avenge the Han people. ”

He Xi listened to it and said secretly in his heart; That's true. If you don't punish Chen Zuyi, you can't say anything. ”

Actually, it was He Xi's original intention. He didn't have to deal with Chen Zuyi, because in He Xi's opinion, the difference between Chen Zuyi and Liang Daoming was just fifty steps and a hundred steps. As long as you can surrender to the court, anyone can do it.

But Liang Sizu squeezed He Xi with words.

The Ming Dynasty lacked supporters in Nanyang when they went south, and the most ideal supporters were the Nanyang Han people. The number of Han people in Nanyang is actually not too much. Most are also scattered around. The Old Port is a place where there are many gatherings after all.

If it was just the Liang family, what happened to the Liang family would not be enough for He Xi to use the resources of the imperial court.

But if it is a Han people who look forward to the Ming Dynasty going to Nanyang, then the imperial court must uphold justice.

He Xi said: "Please rest assured, the court will not let the people down." ”

He Xi's words were ambiguous. In fact, if Chen Zuyi also sent someone to dedicate the city at this moment. It is very likely that He Xi will not see Liang Sizu. But now the Chen family has not said anything, it must be known that the Chen family has business dealings with a series of businesses such as Jinghai Firm, and the transmission of information is the most convenient.

But the Chen family still did not say.

This in itself may be an attitude.

However, He Xi still wanted to give the Chen family a chance. After all, if you can not do it, it is better not to do it. Once Da Ming does it, it will kill people. As for the situation of the Liang family, I really don't know He Xi, and the Liang family is not a good man and a woman.

Of course, the window of time left by He Xi for the Chen family was not too long.

Once the army arrives in Nanyang, then everything the Liang family says is a foregone conclusion.

Liang Sizu didn't understand He Xi's statement, but now the situation is stronger than people. There is no Liang family, and Liang Sizu's own value is also greatly reduced. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and he immediately took out a map from his body and said: "This is a map of the old port, which shows the waterways of the old port and the key places in various passes, which my grandfather asked me to bring. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Sizu already understood his grandfather's thoughts, and said with a crying voice: "Say, this may be useful." ”

Lu Zhongheng took it and looked at it, just by glancing at it, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly: "The old port is in my hands." "For a general, if he understands this level of a city, and there is no way to take it, he will just hit him to death with tofu.
