1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 364 Luzon Matters ([-])

"Although many naval officers didn't object, I can see that they have doubts about attacking Gu Bang." Cao Xiong stared at Qi Dajiang and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the same as them?" , think I'm irritated by the Dutch's reply and can't wait to teach them a deep lesson?"

Qi Dajiang glanced at Qi Tian next to him, and saw that he was just standing on the top of the city and looking at the Jianye city in a daze, without any expression, so he said bravely: "It's too close to the Ocussi stronghold of the Dutch. Moreover, not far away in Dili, there is also the blockade fleet of the Dutch. If we are attacking Kupang, if we are not careful, we will be blocked in the port by many Dutch warships, which will cause the loss of ships and personnel. .”

"Hasn't the staff already made relevant deduction, there is a high probability that the Dutch will not be near Timor Island, let alone gather a large-scale fleet to and from Kupang. Besides, we will also send flying fish boats to the Timor Island frequently. The vicinity of Ligang makes them think that our Hanzhou ships are going to resupply Dili City again. This will somewhat attract the Dutch warships to shift their focus there so that we can sneak attack Kubang." Cao Xiong said : "Even you all think that attacking Kupang is a very unbelievable thing, so the Dutch probably wouldn't have thought that we would fight there!"

After hearing this, Qi Dajiang sighed slightly in his heart. Although there is a high probability that the Dutch will not gather a large-scale fleet on Timor Island, they will just catch the Hanzhou fleet attacking Kubang, but if it is Hanzhou If you are unlucky, what if you meet the other half of the dangerous probability?Unlike the Dutch, Hanzhou has a large number of ships. Once the loss is large, it will be difficult to replenish for a while, and it will also affect the immigration speed of Hanzhou.

"Second brother, any battle in this world cannot be fought under the premise of absolute safety." Qi Tian turned his head and said to Qi Dajiang: "Our sea power is absolutely in front of the Dutch. Weakness. Attacking any of their strongholds may be intercepted by them and suffer losses. The attack strategy given by the military government's staff should have been carefully deduced. probability of success.”

Qi Dajiang smiled wryly, and said: "The main reason is that our Hanzhou family is too weak, and we dare not lose it easily. If the ship is broken, the transportation of materials and personnel between Hanzhou and other places will inevitably be delayed. The immigration of Ming Dynasty also had a big impact."

"Our current situation is much better than a few years ago!" Qi Tian said: "At least, we already have nearly fifteen large ships, and after more than a year of production run-in at Jianye Shipyard, the speed of shipbuilding has gradually accelerated. It is estimated that this year, four large ships should be built."

"Really? Are you planning to build a professional warship, or the professional immigration ship you designed before?"

"Two professional immigration ships, two professional warships." Qi Tian said: "But after the ship is built, the sailors equipped may not be enough for a while. Therefore, when you immigrate from Daming, when you choose the type of personnel, you need to Sailors are also a priority target."

When Qi Dajiang heard the words, he was both happy and worried, and then he lamented inwardly.The population shortage of Hanzhou is really fatal. With a large ship, there are not enough sailors to equip it, how ridiculous!

"Little Tian, ​​what were you thinking just now? I was so fascinated looking at the direction of Jianye City, but what's wrong with my Hanzhou Civil Affairs?" Cao Xiong asked.

"I was just thinking about how lucky the people of Hanzhou live and work in peace and contentment here." Qi Tian said with a solemn face, "I think that many people in our Ming Dynasty were displaced and starved to death everywhere. In addition, Nanyang Han people are bullied by natives and Westerners." , as a member of the Huaxia lineage, I feel very heavy!"

"You mean during the siege of Batavia, the Dutch drove our Han people to the city to fight the natives?" Cao Xiong asked.

"Not only Batavia, but also Luzon."

"The news came from Luzon that our black guards encouraged thousands of people to rebel against the Spaniards and forced them to stay in Manila. Everything is going well there!" Qi Dajiang said.

"According to the news from Luzon, it has been eight months since they started the incident in June last year." Qi Tian said: "The tens of thousands of Ming people near Manila did not participate. This is the biggest regret and the biggest one. Hidden worry. You know, the Spaniards’ annual galleon trade fleet is about to arrive in Luzon from the Americas. If they bring reinforcements, they will arm many sailors, carry a large number of artillery, and drive the Ming people near Manila to attack The Kalambamin people, then the situation in Luzon is very worrying!"

When Qi Tian learned from Qi Dajiang and the others that thousands of Ming people from Luzon had revolted in Calamba, he immediately remembered the third massacre against the Chinese launched by the Spanish colonists in the Philippines, killing 2.4 people.The Chinese people on Luzon Island are almost extinct. The river water is polluted by corpses and cannot be drunk for half a year.

Although due to various reasons, the massacre of Chinese in 1639 has not yet happened, but there is always a shadow in Qi Tian's heart. There will be brutal strangulation.What is even more tragic is that the more than 1 Chinese in the vicinity of Manila, who rebelled against the Chinese in Calamba, thought it had nothing to do with them, and stood by with nothing.

Among them, there may be some Chinese who were coaxed by the Spaniards' promises of preferential treatment for a while, and stayed on the sidelines, but most of them were timid and fearful in their hearts, hoping to put aside their relationship with this, and did not dare to participate in the uprising against the Spaniards.

However, there are still some more shameful Ming people who were bought by the Spaniards and did acts of undermining the rebellious Chinese.In the original historical time and space, some Chinese who "converted" to God secretly reported to the Spaniards all kinds of information about the uprising Chinese, which greatly facilitated the Spaniards' suppression actions, and finally carried out cruel massacres.

Although the Chinese riot in Calamba this time was planned by Hanzhou's black-clothed guards lurking in Luzon, Qi Tian was still very worried about the situation there.If the Spaniards took advantage of the loopholes and defeated them to revolt against thousands of Chinese, then the massacre would definitely happen again.You know, that is the lives of tens of thousands of Chinese.

"But how do we save so many people?" Cao Xiong also frowned. If tens of thousands of wise people come to Hanzhou, it will definitely increase Hanzhou's strength by a large margin.

"Can you send people into Luzon again to contact our people. Then let them find a way to occupy a stronghold by the sea so that we can assist them. If possible, send marines into Luzon to help them Resist the Spaniards." Qi Tian thought for a while and said.

That Calamba seems to be in the hinterland of Luzon Island, only forty or fifty kilometers away from Manila.In this way, it will be difficult for Hanzhou to assist and interfere with it.Therefore, it is necessary to try to get the Ming people in Luzon to choose a seaside stronghold that can provide assistance.

"I'm afraid our Hanzhou can't extend our hands so long?" Cao Xiong said worriedly: "Besides, we are still fighting with the Dutch, how do we deal with those Ming people in Luzon?"

"If you ignore it, then tens of thousands of Ming people may be massacred by the Spaniards!" Qi Tian sighed softly: "You know, there are not many Spaniards in the entire Luzon."

"There are tens of thousands of Ming people in Luzon, and there are hundreds of millions of starving people in Daming. How can we save them!" Qi Dajiang interjected.

Hearing this, Qi Tian glanced at Qi Dajiang, then turned his head to watch the lively neighborhood in Jianye City, and remained silent.

Yes, during this period, the Chinese nation will fall into unprecedented disasters and catastrophes, and Hanzhou seems not strong enough to save more descendants of Han people and save the endangered Chinese civilization.Qi Tian felt extremely helpless at this time, knowing that many disasters were in front of him, but he was a little powerless.

"We have occupied an island near Luzon. We might as well drop by to strengthen it when we go to Daming this time. Maybe it will be useful at that time." Seeing this, Qi Dajiang couldn't help but stepped forward and clapped together Tian's shoulders, comforting: "We are not capable now, and we can save few people. In the future, when our Hanzhou becomes stronger, we can save countless Chinese people."

"Our black-clothed guards can be sent to Luzon again, and tell those Ming people who are rebelling to occupy a stronghold by the sea." Cao Xiong sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Do your best to obey the destiny, our Hanzhou also Can’t forcefully break into Manila? If the Spaniards really slaughtered our tens of thousands of bright people, in the future, our Hanzhou will become stronger, and we will go to the door and slaughter the Spaniards.”

"Sulu, who used to have an old relationship with us, is also a good starting point for managing Luzon's affairs." Qi Tian added: "When our immigration fleet returns to Daming, we might as well communicate with him."

Cheng Guangyin (pseudonym He Guangqing) looked at the dozens of Ming people from near Manila in front of him, his face was uncertain, and he thought for a long time.Finally, Chaohe Tongfu nodded and said, "Arrange a few brothers to settle them down properly. Since they escaped from Manila, they will be our own people from now on."

After seeing the dozens of people go out, Cheng Guangyin immediately called He Tongfu to him, and whispered to him: "Arrange some reliable people to keep an eye on them at all times. If there is any change, please report to me at any time."

"The big boss thinks there is something wrong with these people?" He Tongfu was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

"Manila has been short of food for more than two months, and the Ming people who came to join us one after another are all starving and powerless." Cheng Guangyin sneered and said, "But looking at some of them, their faces are full of red. , there is no sign of hunger or fatigue. Tell me, in Manila, who can eat enough?"

"Of course only the Spaniards can have enough to eat." He Tongfu said: "There are also their servants, as well as the wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty who have taken refuge in them. Boss, do you think there are Spanish spies among them? May I send someone to arrest them?" Are they all caught?"

"Don't move them for the time being." Cheng Guangyin said: "Over the past few months, more than 1000 people have come to our side, which has really strengthened our strength. If there is no reason to deal with them directly, people will be sent to Manila. The people over there felt chilled, so they didn’t dare to come to join us. Let people keep an eye on them, and don’t want the Westerners to come to cooperate with each other and ruin our major affairs.”

"Westerners have been huddled in the city of Manila for nearly half a year, and they dare not come out to fight us. They must be far inferior to us." He Tongfu said: "It would be great if we had our internal support in the city of Manila! Manila, slaughter all the Spaniards. From now on, the chief will lead you to be king in Luzon, and we will all be your ministers and generals."

When Cheng Guangyin heard the words, he shook his head and smiled, and then his mind suddenly moved, Lu Song became king and ruled one side separately, that would be a lifetime of wealth!
