The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 136

Zhu Hongyu thought for a while, and then spoke.

"I can give in and promise to give Guoxing [-]% of the warships, but I want Guoxing to help me train some sailors for the recovery army."

The Liberation Army wants to build a navy, and it is not difficult to find sailors.

The Dan people and fishermen along the coast are all excellent soldiers who are used to the wind and waves of the sea, endure hardships and stand hard work, and are accustomed to the sea climate.

But sailors and sailors in this era are not the same thing!

Fortunately, Chinese ships are easy to operate and require fewer sailors.

With a little practice you can barely master it!

However, the rigging system of western-style sailboats is complicated, and non-professional sailors can't understand it at all.

Even if Zhu Hongyu recruited fishermen Danmin as soldiers, he could only stare blankly at the sail cable system of the western-style sailboat.

Maybe they can't even get out of the anchorage at all!
Therefore, the simplest and most direct way for Zhu Hongyu to form a navy is to ask Zheng Chenggong for help.

Of course, he can also spend money to hire sailors on sailing ships from Western countries as instructors.

It's just that the two are not contradictory, are they?

We can do it together!
Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree? Wouldn’t it be better to try a few more trees?

Chen Yonghua thought for a while before speaking.

"That's possible!"

"But the military resources of the five thousand reinforcements..."

Chen Yonghua's meaning is very clear, Zhu Hongyu can have [-]% of the warships, and he can also want Zheng Jun to help train the sailors.

But five thousand reinforcements are not here for free!
Gotta pay more!
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"It's what it should be!"

"The military government covered all the military pay, rewards, logistics, pensions, etc. for these 5000 people during the war!"

"In addition, the governor will also send 1 silver dollars to Lord Guoxing as a thank you gift!"

In this regard, although Zhu Hongyu felt a pain in the flesh, he also felt that it should be done.

He asked for help, and Zheng Chenggong sent troops to reinforce him.

Even if the two sides are friendly forces under the anti-Qing banner, Zheng Chenggong's willingness to send troops is already a matter of saving face and taking the overall situation into consideration.

Shouldn't I pay a price for myself?

Whoring for nothing!

This time whoring for nothing, the next time I ask for help, it won't be so easy to ask for help!

Chen Yonghua said with a smile.

"This 1 silver dollars, don't say it's a thank you gift, let's count it as a betrothal gift!"

"Guo Xingye wanted to marry a daughter to the governor, and the governor gave 1 silver dollars as a dowry gift, which is not regarded as the status of the county head."

Zheng Chenggong was named the king of Anping County, and his daughter is naturally the county head!
A stunned expression appeared on Zhu Hongyu's face, but only in an instant, the stunned expression disappeared and was replaced by a joyful expression.

"Haha, are you serious? Master Guoxing really wants to marry Ben Du?"

Chen Yonghua said.

"It's natural. As a retainer of Lord Guoxing, do you still dare to joke about the affairs of the master's family?"

The smile on Zhu Hongyu's face became more and more sincere.

It's not about how lecherous he is, no matter whether Zheng Chenggong's daughter is beautiful or ugly, fat or thin, he has no choice but to marry.

Otherwise, Zheng Chenggong will hate him!
The relatively friendly relationship that the two sides have managed to maintain may break down at any time.

Of course, from the perspective of social genetics, it is impossible for Zheng Chenggong's daughter to be ugly!
What makes Zhu Hongyu happy is that if he can marry Zheng Chenggong's daughter, he will have the position to remind Zheng Chenggong to be careful of the enemy inside, and maybe he can change the fate of Zheng Chenggong's untimely death!

And there is...

Well, well, Zhu Hongyu admits that he is lustful.

What's wrong with lust?After all, the old master Confucius said, "Food and sex are also sex", how can men not be lustful?
The matter was settled, Zhu Hongyu said.

"I don't know when the reinforcements from Lord Guoxing will arrive?"

Chen Yonghua pondered for a while, then spoke.

"Counting the round-trip time on my way and the time it takes for the army to regroup, it's estimated to be more than a month!"

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"it is good!"

"Mr. Chen, please advise Guo Xing Ye, send troops as soon as possible!"

"The governor's spies in Manila report that the Spaniards are ready for war!"

"Calculating the time, the Spaniard's galleon fleet will almost arrive in Manila!"

"War will break out at any time!"

Chen Yonghua took a deep breath and spoke.

"Please don't worry, the governor. When the students leave, they will explain their interests to Lord Guoxing!"

"I beg Guo Xingye to send troops to Luzon as soon as possible!"

Chen Yonghua left Luzon with his people, and Zhu Hongyu hosted a banquet to clean up the dust for a team of recovery troops who went to Dayuan Island to help.

For the next period of time, the Spaniards and the Restoration Army continued to maintain a state of peace in a tacit understanding.

The two sides continued to send spies to each other, trying to find out the situation of the other party.

But on the bright side, the relationship between the two parties is still peaceful and stable!
War seems so far away!

……

Dayuan Island, inside the city of Zeelandia!
The Zeelandia city built by the Dutch was cheaper than Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Jun directly took over the defense of Zeelandia city.

After the city wall of Zeelandia City was simply repaired, Zeelandia City became the residence of Zheng Jun.

The magnificent Governor's Mansion became Zheng Chenggong's residence.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Chen Yonghua in front of him and said.

"You did a good job on this!"

"Send an order to Ma Xin, order him to be the chief general, and personally lead [-] troops to Luzon, and together with the recovery army, attack the Spaniards together!"

"Mobilize troops as soon as possible!"

After giving this order, Zheng Chenggong looked at Chen Yonghua with piercing eyes, and asked.

"Sir, if we win this battle, after the capture of Manila, can our army fight for the control of Luzon?"

"The area of ​​Luzon is larger than that of Dayuan Island. After being developed by the Spaniards for so long, it is no longer considered a wild land."

"And there are tens of thousands of Chinese in Luzon!"

"If my Zheng family can control Luzon, maybe it can be used as a springboard to completely control this Nanyang."

"At that time, the entire Nanyang power will counterattack the mainland, drive out the Tartars, and restore China is just around the corner!"

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong, a young expert in party struggle, went online.

Chen Yonghua also fell into deep thought, thinking about whether the matter was feasible.

Although Chen Yonghua's attitude towards the Guangfu Army was relatively friendly, in the final analysis he was also a retainer of the Zheng family, and when considering things, he naturally had to put the interests of the Zheng family first.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yonghua spoke.

"Master Guo Xing, the students think it's not feasible!"

"First of all, the war in Luzon has not yet broken out, and the outcome is unknown. It is still too early to say these things!"

"The second is that our manpower and material resources are limited, and it is already very reluctant to use it to develop Dayuan Island. There is no need to touch Luzon again."

"Third, the students think that I, Daming, are already weak enough to stop fighting among myself!"

"Zhu Hongyu belongs to the clan of the Ming Dynasty. He raised the banner of righteousness in Luzon, and he was able to make such a big noise in a short period of time. The popularity of the people and the support of the people have something to do with his clan's identity."

"If Lord Guo Xing takes action against him at this time, it will be morally untenable."

Chen Yonghua is very serious about the wording of the clan.

Two years ago, Zheng Chenggong defeated Nanjing and Li Dingguo defeated Mopanshan, and the anti-Qing situation collapsed.

Emperor Yongli is missing, no one knows whether the emperor is dead or alive now?
