The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 232: Shang Zhixin's Determination!

Jin Guangzu heard that Pingnan Palace has interests in Macau.

Shang Kexi is also a good man, and will give Jin Guangzu a certain amount of profit every year.

Not much, two 3000 taels of silver.

Under the circumstances that Jin Guangzu didn't know how many interests Macau had, it was enough for him to turn a blind eye to this matter.

It's just that Jin Guangzu absolutely couldn't imagine it.

What a huge sum the Pingnan Palace's annual interests in Macau are!

If he knew, he wouldn't be surprised by Shang Zhixin's current performance.

Which is more important, Macau, which can provide the Shang family with a million taels of benefits every year, or a small Humen Fort?
Is there even a need to ask? !

So what if Humen is breached?

Rebuilding a Humen Fort, can the Shang family earn a fraction of the annual profit from Macau?
Even if Shang Kexi is placed here, the first reaction is definitely to save Macau.

Shang Zhixin swaggered away, Jin Guangzu wanted to save Humen, so he did it himself!
Anyway, the Shang family can't ignore things in Macau!
It doesn't matter if Guangzhou doesn't send troops. Most of Ping Wangfu's subordinates have seen bloody flags on the battlefield.

It is not a problem to casually pull tens of millions of people.

It doesn't matter if Guangzhou doesn't give them armaments, the most important thing in Pingnan Palace is armaments!
It doesn't matter if the Guangzhou side doesn't give food and grass, the prince's mansion just needs to requisition the Qizhuang under the vassal!

As for the military pay, hehe, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers sent troops to rescue Macau, why can't the Portuguese in Macau express it?

Shang Zhixin made up his mind to save Macau.

In this regard, Jin Guangzu was powerless to stop him. He could only find a way to gather troops and give Humen some support as much as possible.

At the very least, Humen can't be broken by pirates!
If Humen is breached, at least the pirates can't really go deep into the Pearl River.

The order for reinforcements was issued, and a letter to Shang Kexi asking for help was also sent out.

Jin Guangzu rubbed the center of his eyebrows in pain, his face was full of exhaustion.

He has done everything he can, and now he can only pray for a smooth battle!

On that day, the Guangzhou government began preparations for war.

Shang Zhixin ordered to mobilize the power of the Pingnan Palace, from the fan village of the Pingnan Palace to Guangzhou, to mobilize food, armor, ordnance, etc.

Jin Guangzu, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, opened the treasury and arsenal of Guangzhou, dispatched two to three thousand green battalions, and dismantled several red cannons from the city of Guangzhou, and sent them to reinforce the Humen Fort.

……

Macau, city hall meeting room.

Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Hongyu sat opposite each other to discuss matters, with tea and pastries on the table.

Sandalwood is lit in the room!
Wisps of smoke sank, very beautiful!
A delicate fragrance filled the room, making it easy to calm down.

Zheng Chenggong asked.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo, Ma Xin reported that the Qing army's defense at Humen is not very strong."

"Should our army work harder and simply take down Humen?"

After hearing Zheng Chenggong's words, Zhu Hongyu fell into deep thought.

After a while, he slowly shook his head and said.

"It is enough for us to have a Hong Kong Island fortress at the mouth of the Pearl River!"

"There is no need to share the small number of troops in Humen!"

The Humen Fort is connected to the mainland. If the Qing army was determined to take it down, the Ming army would definitely not be able to defend it.

In comparison, Hong Kong, which is an island, is much better!

As long as there are no problems with the logistics guarantee and the navy cuts off the sea area, the possibility of the Hong Kong fortress being captured is unlikely.

Zhu Hongyu said with a chuckle.

"Instead of going all out to fight Humen, it's better to go for a walk in Fuzhou when the old thief Shang Kexi returns to defend Guangzhou."

When the news spread that the Ming army captured Macau and threatened the Pearl River, Shang Kexi would definitely return to defend Guangzhou.

But there is a high probability that Geng Jingzhong will continue to attack South Australia!
At that time, Fuzhou will be empty, and if the Ming army moves fast enough, it may be able to take the opportunity to conquer Fuzhou.

It is impossible to occupy Fuzhou for a long time, but it will definitely be no problem to take away the population of Fuzhou!
Even if Fuzhou could not be conquered, it would be bloody money to rob the Jingnan Palace near Fuzhou City once.

"At that time, Gu will lead the recovery army to attract the attention of the Qing army at the mouth of the Pearl River, and block the counterattack of Shang Kexi Shang's old thief."

"Lao Taishan will go to Fuzhou, and he will definitely be able to accomplish a lot."

Zhu Hongyu said.

During this Northern Expedition, the Ming army captured Qiongzhou and Macao successively.

And prepare to build a fortress in Hong Kong!

There are already enough to start, and it will take at least one or two years to digest the results of this battle.

Most of these achievements were eaten by the Liberation Army.

Except for the seizure of some money, military equipment, etc., the most important population land, Zheng Jun basically couldn't get anything.

Qiongzhou was placed under the rule of the military government by Zhu Hongyu, and he was planning to set up a local government and send officials to administer it, but Zheng Jun could not intervene.

Macau is jointly administered by the Liberation Army and Zheng Jun.

There will be benefits in the future, and the two parties will share equally. This is agreed in advance!
But for now, Macau is a money loser.

In addition, the construction of the Hong Kong fortress is still in preparation, and in the future more investment will be made than output.

Therefore, judging from the results of the Northern Expedition so far.

It belongs to the Guangfu Army who devoured the benefits and ate it round, but Zheng Jun seemed to be a coolie.

Running back and forth, but not much gain!
It's definitely not going to work like this!

In this Northern Expedition, Zhu Hongyu gained enough practical benefits and reputation.

It's time for Zheng Chenggong to benefit too.

In the words, Zhu Hongyu's attitude was obvious.

Next, I will fight the tough battle.

If the main force of the Qing army led by Shang Kexi counterattacks Macau, I will resist.

You, Zheng Chenggong, can take people to Fuzhou, where the Qing army is empty, and do what you want!
Cooperation, only if both parties can benefit can it go on!
Zheng Chenggong nodded and agreed.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo Sheng Ming!"

Zheng Chenggong had to admit that Zhu Hongyu was really open in his work.

If after the Jiashen year, all forces in Ming Dynasty can have Zhu Hongyu's awareness, the war situation will not ruin Ruosi.

……

Zheng Chenggong left the conference room and returned to his own ship.

Along the way, the smile on his face never faded.

Zheng Jing on the side couldn't help being curious and asked.

"Father, what did His Highness Jian Guo tell you? Why are you so happy?"

Zheng Chenggong patted his son on the shoulder and said.

"I'm going to send you to His Highness Jian Guo as a follower, you follow His Highness and study hard!"

Zheng Jing:? ? ?
Zheng Jing was a little puzzled by his father's operation. What did His Royal Highness Jian Guo say to his father that his father wanted to send himself as a proton?
The father is only his own son!

But he didn't dare to refuse Zheng Chenggong's arrangement at all, he just said honestly.

"Son understands!"

Zheng Chenggong nodded in satisfaction.

My son has no other advantages, but he is obedient enough.

If he wanted to establish his own country in the future, Zheng Jing might not be a good heir.

Not bold enough, and too soft-tempered!
But if in the future, the Zheng family wants to follow a hero like Zhu Hongyu, revive the Ming Dynasty, and establish an unworldly achievement.

Zheng Jing is the best choice.

It is also because he is not courageous enough, and his temper is also soft!

Zheng Chenggong took Zheng Jing back to his ship, and he publicly announced the Ming army's next strategy.

And revealed Zhu Hongyu's meaning to everyone!

When all the generals of Zheng Jun heard about it, they couldn't help celebrating.

After working hard for so long, it's finally their turn to eat meat!

……

Only four more...

Riwan really can't do it!

All kinds of kneeling for support!
