The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 231 The Strength of San Francisco!
Shang Kexi led his troops to suppress the bandits at the end of last year, and fought back and forth for more than half a year.

The thieves were not wiped out, but the treasury in Guangzhou was almost destroyed by his success!
Sighing, Jin Guangzu spoke.

"Order the big gentry in Guangzhou to pay donations!"

"First raise a batch of food and pay to send to the army, and then talk about other things!"

The eyeballs of my entourage rolled around, it's good to donate!

If he didn't accept the donation, how could he have the opportunity to do something here!
However, as soon as his voice fell, a soldier of the Qing army ran in outside and reported in a hurry.

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

"Report to the governor, Humen urgent report!"

"Pirates invaded Humen, and the battle is in critical condition. General Huang Zhongyuan asked for reinforcements from the army!"

When Jin Guangzu heard this, his eyes widened instantly.

Pirates? !
Speaking of pirates, his first reaction was Zheng Chenggong.

Isn't this the end of the calf?

Don't look at Zheng Chenggong being kicked out of the mainland now, he seems quite down and out.

But Zheng Jiashui master is really powerful!
After the Battle of Nanjing, the Qing Dynasty tried its best to organize a navy to go south to conquer Zheng Chenggong, but Zheng Chenggong turned against the wind.

After this battle, the entire navy of the Qing army was wiped out, so they could only choose to deal with Zheng Chenggong by moving to the forbidden sea, killing [-] enemies and self-defeating [-].

It wasn't until the San Francisco was pacified that the Qing army rebuilt a navy, conquered Taiwan across the sea, and completely wiped out the last force of Nanming.

There was an interval of more than 20 years!

Question: How big was the psychological shadow caused by the Battle of Xiamen on the Manchu and Qing Dynasties?

Answer: The Manchu and Qing officials in the southeast area were dismayed when they heard Zheng!
In history, the reason why the Ming Zheng Group had no other achievements after the Xiamen naval battle.

That's because of Zheng Chenggong's sudden death!

But now, Zheng Chenggong is living well, and he took the fleet to the Pearl River Estuary, and asked Jin Guangzu if he was afraid?
The answer is yes!

Jin Guangzu expressed trembling!
If Zheng Chenggong really conquered Humen, he would be able to follow the Pearl River all the way to the city of Guangzhou.

At that time, the whole southern country will shake!
"Quick! Send a message to Prince Pingnan's mansion, and ask them to send someone to the mansion to discuss matters."

"Order someone to send a message to King Pingnan, and ask King Pingnan to lead his troops back to help!"

The total strength of the Qing court in Guangdong is about 5.

They are composed of flag soldiers under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and the garrisoned Green Battalion.

Here, there are about ten thousand people in the flag soldiers of Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and they are all elites who can ride and shoot well.

The rest are green battalions!

Don't look down on the green battalion, the green battalion soldiers of this era are also capable of fighting.

If the British army during the Duck War met the Green Battalion soldiers of this era, although there is a high probability that they will still win.

But it is absolutely impossible to play such a disparate casualty ratio!
Although the Qing army has a lot of troops in Guangdong.

But now Guangzhou is quite empty.

Because, Shang Kexi took the main forces of the Qing army, including the flag soldiers of the Pingnan Palace, and the green battalion, to Nan'ao to suppress the rebel army!

At this time, inside and outside the city of Guangzhou, there were only more than [-] troops guarding the city, and they were all green battalion soldiers.

If Zheng Chenggong led his troops to the city of Guangzhou at this time, Guangzhou might really fall.

I can't stand him not panicking!

Not long after, Shang Zhixin, Prince Pingnan's son, rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

Shang Zhixin received a message from the Portuguese in Macau asking for help from the Qing Dynasty!

I know what the Ming-British coalition forces have committed!

He couldn't stand it for a moment when he thought of his family's annual income of one million taels in Macau.

"Lord Jin, we have to send troops to rescue!"

This is the first sentence of Shang Zhixin.

Jin Guangzu nodded vigorously.

"It must be saved!"

"If the pirates were to break into the Pearl River Estuary, we would all have to go back and forth!"

"Can the little prince repair a book for the prince, and ask the prince to return quickly?"

Jin Guangzu asked.

Shang Zhixin nodded.

"That's natural, Guangzhou can't afford to lose!"

"..."

Facing the invading pirates, the two hit it off.

"I'm going to prepare armaments, food and grass for the army, and I ask the little prince to order the soldiers under the banner of the feudal mansion to be bravely coated."

"Strive to send troops for help as soon as possible!"

Jin Guangzu said so.

There are only a few thousand green battalion guards in Guangzhou City now!
However, this does not mean that there are no other troops in Guangzhou.

Thousands of green battalions are just standing troops!

Give the Pingnan Palace a period of time, and Shang Zhixin can recruit tens of thousands of young and strong men from various vassal estates in the palace.

There are many veterans who have been on the battlefield and seen blood!

This is why the Qing court was so wary of San Francisco, and why Kang Mazi wanted to cut down the feudal clan.

The soldiers of the San Francisco count as soldiers of the Eight Banners!

Although it is the banner of the Han army, after so many years of war, coupled with the corruption of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Now the combat effectiveness of the Banner soldiers in San Francisco is not necessarily worse than that of the Eight Banner soldiers in the Qing Dynasty.

More importantly, due to the policy of no intermarriage between Manchu and Han in the early Qing Dynasty, the population growth rate of Manchuria was very slow.

Even because of the frequent wars and plagues in recent years, even the Manchus have been arresting Jurchens to replenish their population since they entered the customs.

The population of Manchuria has also been growing negatively.

And what about San Francisco?

They don't have the restriction that Manchus and Hans don't intermarry.

Coupled with the large number of deaths of the male population in the troubled times, the ratio of men to women is out of balance.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners in San Francisco married their wives one after another, and gave birth to their children one after another!

Over the past decade or so, the number of able-bodied banner men that a random family in San Francisco can pull out is estimated to be more than the number of men from the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Can the Qing court not be afraid?
Shang Zhixin nodded and said.

"Lord Jin, don't worry, this son will go to gather troops to rescue Macau!"

Jin Guangzu:? ?
Jin Guangzu was a little confused and suspected that he had heard wrong, but he still spoke.

"It's Humen, not Macau!"

"Humen was attacked by pirates, and General Huang Zhongyuan sent someone to Guangzhou for help!"

Shang Zhixin blinked and said.

"It's Macau!"

"All the Portuguese in Macau have come to me for help!"

"What are you talking about, a country called England colluded with Ming thieves to attack my Qing Dynasty, and it is attacking Macau now!"

Jin Guangzu was a little confused, what the co-authors said was not the same thing?

"His Royal Highness, save Humen first!"

"Humen is the gateway to the Pearl River. If Humen is conquered by pirates, the pirates may kill Guangzhou at any time!"

"Don't delay!"

Shang Zhixin suddenly lost interest.

Humen is none of his business!

What is involved in Macau is a business worth millions of taels a year.

When it comes to saving Macau, he Shang Zhixin is full of energy!

If you want to save Humen, why is he in a hurry?
Humen is still far away from Guangzhou City!
Seeing Shang Zhixin's attitude, Jin Guangzu became a little anxious, and asked.

"His Royal Highness, when will we send troops to rescue Humen?"

Shang Zhixin said.

"Let the governor take charge of the matter of Humen!"

"I will take people to rescue Macau, but I want to personally meet the Ming-British coalition forces to see what kind of thing the British country is. How dare I offend the Qing Dynasty?"

The Manchu Qing Dynasty in the nineteenth century had no right to look down on Britain!
But in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the [-]th century, you can still call Britain a little brother!
Jin Guangzu couldn't help but turn dark, Ma De, if you don't save Humen, you ran to save Macau, you are so sick!
