Liu Xiang had trade contacts with Esbanya, Portugal, and the Netherlands, and Liu Xiang had no dealings with the Ming court in the past, and was more rigid than other pirates, so no one suspected that Liu Xiang was a member of the court.

Liu Xiang had already voted for Daming, because Wang Hongyu and Cai Fuyi gave too much. No one recruited Liu Xiang before, because Liu Xiang was unwilling to go back on his word, because the court had no credibility before.

Just like Qin Liangyu, Liu Xiang was given the position of acting Tusi in Singapore and deputy chief soldier in Qiongzhou. Of course Liu Xiang is satisfied, and what Wang Hongyu has done in the past two years Liu Xiang is clear, in a word: she trusts Wang Hongyu.

In fact, these pirates are also patriotic, although Liu Xiang is ruthless, it is to the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the treatment of Qing officials and the people is much gentler, and no pirate is willing to be an enemy of the imperial court, but their requirements are high for the sake of safety.

Wang Hongyu's promise to Liu Xiang was: If Liu Xiang held the Maliu Gorge in Nanyang, prevented the Dutch reinforcements from entering Asia, defeated the Netherlands, and officially gained a foothold in Singapore, then he would be transferred to the Singapore Tusi and Qiongzhou General Army.

Most of the historical records of the late Ming Dynasty are literati who look at problems through colored glasses, and many of the records may have been tampered with, and the pirates that Wang Hongyu is now in contact with are very different from those found in the materials of his previous life.

Anyway, the history of the Ming Dynasty has been tampered with a lot by later generations of literati, and they don't have any burden on pirates, so they can write whatever they want, and the official is happy.

Wang Hongyu did a lot of investigation and research on Liu Xiang, and found that she could still win it over, because Liu Xiang had not done anything heinous before, and the bitter sea was boundless, and the pirate and thief didn't want to do it anyway.

Liu Xiang, a female streamer, has absolutely no intention of becoming a big official, killing people and setting fires, she just inherited her father's business and became a pirate, and it is the best ending for her to pull Liu Xiang over to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

This position is too high, and allows her to trade in multiple ports, and can be treated the same as the heroine Qin Huaiyu, Liu Xiang, who has been floating on the sea since childhood, is of course loyal to him.

Liu Xiang has done his best since he defected to the imperial court, going back and forth to Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Nanyang several times, sleeping in the open and sleeping in the wind and rain and scorching sun several times, there is a pro-young woman with red lips and white teeth, just like a black charcoal fisherman.

Therefore, she doesn't need to disguise, no one will see her as a beautiful female pirate who is famous in the sea, she has been showing up on the scene, and no one recognizes her as the female pirate Liu Xiang.

The origin of the name Hong Kong may be related to Liu Xiang, there is a legend in Hong Kong that there is a female pirate named Xianggu, who is strong in martial arts and beautiful as a flower, and occupies the place where the grass is now Hong Kong Island.

Xianggu's original name was Liu Xiang, and after occupying Hong Kong, she used it as a base to plunder everywhere, and quickly developed into a pirate group with more than 200 warships, and later the Ming government was exterminated by Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, after several years of encirclement and suppression.

In this life, because of the appearance of Wang Hongyu, Liu Xiang's fate changed, and this beautiful female pirate took refuge in the imperial court under the planning of Wang Hongyu and Cai Fuyi, and became a heroine who expanded the territory of China.

However, the Dutch eyeliner had already discovered that Liu Xiang was building a city in a fishing village near the southern entrance of Maliu Gorge, and the Dutch people thought that the female pirate did not want to wander on the sea to find a living.

I want to collect tolls in the places that must be passed through at sea, she has already reached the age of marriage and childbirth, and female pirates are also human beings, human nature. The Dutch could not have imagined that a stubborn pirate leader would defect to the court.

They thought that Liu Xiang traveled back and forth to Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian-Maliuxia several times a year, and that he was carrying the savings of two generations of pirate leaders to settle in Xingzhou, and they didn't think so much about it at all.

But Liu Xiang had a lot of dealings with them in the past, and Wang Hongyu and Cai Fuyi instructed her to continue to disguise, so the Dutch people were not very vigilant about this.

The Dutch people knew that there were not many warships in the Ming Dynasty, and it was a godsend for Liu Xiang to leave the coast of the Ming Dynasty with more than 200 large and small warships and armed merchant ships.

Pirates are also patriotic, as the Dutch have come to the conclusion of their travels around the world, having been beaten by a coalition of two countries in the East that are in civil war.

If the Netherlands invaded the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty recruited pirates for the navy to deal with foreign enemies, the pirates were whitewashed, and the guilty and meritorious service were made, and in the blink of an eye, high-ranking officials and Houlu flocked to it, and no one could resist this temptation.

The Dutch believed that they had invaded the Ming Dynasty, robbed the Ming people, and killed their fellow pirates, each of whom would help the officers and soldiers resist the invading enemy.

Liu Xiang is a very bloody pirate leader. If her pirate fleet was off the coast of Daming, then she would have no hesitation to deal with the Netherlands, and the female pirate suddenly became a heroine.

At this time, the Dutch people were relieved, and instead put the most important fleet and attention on the area of Fujian and Baodao.

This is Wang Hongyu's strategic plan.

Attract attention in Zhejiang, Fujian, and treasure islands, and then control the Strait of Malacca in one fell swoop, close the door and fight the dog.

......

Wang Hongyu's Hunhe Army was transferred to the coast of Zhejiang, and this veritable number one army in the world has undergone substantial changes.

First of all, the number of people has reached 5,000, of which Qin Minping and Qin Ling's subordinates each have 2,000 people, all of whom are from Sichuan; Zhang Mingshi has 1,000 people under his direct command and 2,000 people under Zhao Hannian.

It was not that Wang Hongyu favored Qin Minping and Qin Ling, but later the Sichuan people were added to 3,500 people, and after Guiyang was conquered, it was expanded to 4,000 people.

Youyang Tusi Ran Yuelong is not far behind and let 1200 Tusi soldiers join the Hunhe Army, and the current 800 Youyang Tusi soldiers led by Ran Tianbiao have expanded to 2000 people, and after mixing with the soldiers of the other three generals, they are also divided into 2000 people.

In fact, at present, the Hunhe Army has four generals at the level of generals, they are Qinmin Ping, Qin Ling, Zhao Hannian, and Ran Tianbiao, and the full strength of these four people is 3,000 people each, and Zhang Mingshi is one level larger than the deputy general soldier, and the full strength should be 7,500 people.

Wang Hongyu also has a general at the level of a general, he is Hou Cai, the nephew of Hou Liangzhu, the general of Sichuan, and is currently the chief general of the Shennong Army, the level of the Shennong Army is one level lower than that of the Hunhe Army, and the main general should be the deputy quasi-soldier, that is, the level of deputy general.

However, Hou Cai's qualifications are low, not as high as Qinmin Ping, Qin Ling, Zhao Hannian, and Ran Tianbiao, and he can only be at the level of a general, and his troops can only be 3,000 people; Zou Wenqi, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest New Army, did not have a formal military rank.

Ran Tianbiao is also at the level of a general, with 2,000 Shennong troops under his command, and was arranged by Wang Hongyu as a mobile force.

At this time, after the Hunhe Army came to Zhejiang, it was just right to recruit the Yiwu soldiers who were very united and brave.

Wang Hongyu and Zhang Mingshi wanted to inherit the Qi family's army, although the Qi family's army was killed by their own people more than ten years ago, but the new Zhejiang soldiers joined the collective of the Hunhe army, and this army inherited the will of the Qi family army to a higher level.
