Chapter 353: Returning to Huguang from Guangdong
Wang Hongyu did not personally go to what the missionaries called Ho King-Macao, which was later called Macau.
But Zhou Yijie took people on a trip and chose a dwelling as a site for trade, intelligence, and garrison.
Although only 10 people remained, 10 people were able to assert sovereignty and enhance exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.
Long Huamin, the previous head of the missionaries to China, gave a special speech at the Ho Kiang O City Hall, the church, the assembly square and the Bugarao Cannon Foundry.
Jinnige, Deng Yuhan and Bi Fangji also gave supplementary explanations.
Wang Hongyu's status, skills, pattern and goodwill were specially introduced, and his awesomeness and sincerity of cooperation were exemplified.
If one person says it, everyone will be skeptical.
But these people are all talking, and they are giving examples from all sides.
Kinnige said that he was the marquis family since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, representing the position of the current Ming Emperor, holding a large amount of land, wealth and property, and fully supporting them against the Dutch people. Reaching cooperation with the Ming Dynasty represented by Wang Hongyu has always been the long-cherished wish of Philip II.
Deng Yuhan talks about academics.
It is said that Wang Hongyu established the Southwest United School, and he is a great scholar in the world. The gathered talents such as Xu Xiake, with the unique views of the East, are by no means inferior to him and Galileo. The most powerful is Wang Hongyu, who has all kinds of knowledge, not to mention, and an incomparably open pattern.
Bi Francis is dedicated to military affairs.
The Daming firearm was praised for being very good, especially the sub-mother cannon line queue, which continuously and intensively projected firepower, and played a futuristic tactic with ordinary weapons. His soldiers were not only good at mountain warfare in the south, but also powerful cavalry in the north. In terms of command ability, he is even more powerful than the god of war and the inventor of the Spanish phalanx - Gonzalo Córdoba.
Listening to the speeches of the three of them, the people, merchants and other missionaries of Macao were shocked.
Kinney Court wanted to cooperate with him, and said that it was a long-cherished wish of Philip II. This Philip II was the strongest king of Esbanya, the overlord of Europe at that time, and the only person in Europe since Charlemagne who could be called the Great.
Deng Yuhan was even more exaggerated, saying that Wang Hongyu's scholars were as powerful as him and Galileo, and Wang Hongyu was even more eloquent.
Bi Francis said that he was stronger than Córdoba, the god of war of Ace Duck.
It's amazing.
What's even more surprising is that Long Huamin is also talking about cooperation with Wang Hongyu.
Long Huamin has been in the Ming Dynasty for the longest time, and has always had a conservative attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, at most he can see a little more clearly the scholars who are willing to communicate with them.
There was a huge change this time, evaluating that the Ming Dynasty and Europe could complement each other, and saying that China was like Europe If the empires of Alexander, Rome, and Charlemagne lasted for a long time, it would be similar to Huaxia and the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, if China had been dominated by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it would have been more similar to Europe now.
Many of these foreigners are Jingluo, or admire the feats of Alexander and Charlemagne, and they suddenly have a sense of closeness to Huaxia after that.
There are also many Han people in Macau, and after listening to it, I feel that Long Huamin really does not look at China from a lofty perspective, which is indeed a very amazing change.
With their propaganda this time, several colonies of the Francos soon learned of the news.
Malacca, Goa and Luzon are close to each other, and they are all concerned about the good news in Macau, and Wang Hongyu's fame and deeds are known to many.
In the American colonies of Mexico, Cuba, and Brazil, the governor heard that the Ming Dynasty had a "governor" Wang Hongyu, who was a friend of the Roman side and was willing to expand trade, and increased the transpacific fleet, bringing more silver and American crops.
Although it will take some time to deepen and consolidate, it has quietly reversed the pattern of world trade that had declined since the beginning of the Thirty Years' War.
Ten people from Wang Hongyu were stationed in Macau, although they were few, but they were capable and deeply cooperative.
Soon after, the fleet formed by Cai Fuyi will use Guangzhou and Macao as the main ports, specializing in Malacca and Southeast Asian trade, and will also develop Sin Chau from a small fishing village into a small town and port.
……
Wang Hongyu's reputation gradually spread overseas.
He himself left Guangdong and went north, because he knew very well that now it is only a beginning, and many things have just been laid out, and it still takes a lot of effort to tide over the crisis in Daming and Huaxia to seize the opportunity to rise and dominate the pattern.
Therefore, it is necessary to return to Yunyang and Xiangyang as soon as possible and develop the core areas well.
Passing through the part south of the Yangtze River in Huguang, there is no Hunan and Hubei at this time, and the whole Huguang is very large, so it is too late to visit various places.
Fortunately, the government of Huguang was relatively good, grain production was orderly, and although the degree of land annexation was not low, there were more opportunities for work, so many landless peasants went to the cities to work, and the industry and order were fairly stable for the time being.
In addition, a number of officials in Huguang are acquaintances of Cai Fuyi, and Huguang is next to Sichuan and Guizhou, so his deeds have long been widely spread.
After entering Chenzhou from Shaoguan to the north, officials, generals, military officials, scholars, and merchants will greet and meet each place.
When the people heard that Wang Hongyu had started to build a military camp, engaged in basic education such as reading and literacy, and appointed ordinary people with skills, they admired the prestige of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and there were many people who wanted to take refuge.
Of course, Wang Hongyu was pleased.
Many of his efforts were deliberately covered up by some civil officials before, and the people knew very little about the deeds of themselves and their eldest brother, second brother and others.
Now the reputation of Dingyuan Hou has been beaten.
The first person you think of...... It's still the eldest brother Zhou Dunji and the second brother Zhang Shenwu.
He very much hoped that the eldest brother and the second brother could see his achievements today, but the enemy Nurhachi was still there, and the second brother was still carrying out guerrilla operations behind enemy lines.
Many people who met Huguang this time did not talk much about their own deeds, focusing on the bloody battles of the Hunhe River between the Sichuan army, the Zhejiang army, and the white pole soldiers.
Although the matter was far away, Wang Hongyu spoke extremely beautifully and sincerely, which impressed everyone very much.
He also paved the way for himself and Yuan Keli's strategic plan, telling about the strategy of contacting and mobilizing the oppressed Han people to create a counter-Nurhachi.
Everyone also felt that they admired the warriors who dared to go behind enemy lines.
Zhang Shenwu and Mao Wenlong, one in the mountains and the other in the coast, caused a lot of trouble for Jiannu.
Some people in the imperial court couldn't bear it anymore, and recently Wei Zhongxian came with news that Yang Lian and some other civil officials thought that the southwest had been stabilized, and it was time to gather troops and horses to attack Jiannu.
Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, also wrote to ask for battle, saying that he had an army of 100,000 under his command and his morale was very high.
He also contacted the Chahar Mongol Lin Dan Khan, and obtained a promise from the other party to send 100,000 troops, and was willing to deal with the Kormi Mongols together.
In this way, the strength of Jiannu is inferior to his own, and the enemy's reinforcements are far inferior to Lin Dan Khan, the advantage is mine, it's time to attack!
