Chapter 1599: Dragon Entering Nanyang

"Since that's the case, you can go to the Old Port after a few days of revision?" Wang Chengen has completed his mission in China, and he began to look forward to his mission abroad.

"Please rest assured, Wang Gonggong, Xiong Futai has long been prepared to fetch food, vegetables and fresh water, and we can set off after they are transported onto the boat!" Zheng Zhilong quickly replied, attacking the officials is not even a warm-up for them. , They are still looking forward to making greater contributions! Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao have already figured it out. The enemies in Dayuan Island are too weak. Even if the imperial court rewards them, they will not be very heavy. It will be different if they take down the old port. Maybe the imperial court will award them titles. But it is Guangzong Yaozu!

"That's good." Wang Chengen nodded in satisfaction. He was also thinking that after completing this mission and returning to Beijing, it would be his turn to take the position of Governor of the East Factory. Cao Huachun let him be the eunuch in charge of ceremony .

"Father-in-law, there are still many merchants in Fujian who do business with Esibanians, should we first find some merchants to inquire about the situation?" Yu Zigao suggested.

"This matter should indeed be dealt with, but we must be careful not to leak the news; before there were traitorous Shanxi merchants such as Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku, this time our family has captured a businessman in Zhangzhou who colluded with the Sibanians. If If you are a little careless, these profit-minded businessmen may sell the news to the Esibanians! Even if the outcome of this battle cannot be decided, it may affect the safety of the Ming people in Old Port!" Wang Chengenjiu By Shen Long's side, it was clear that Shen Long was not like the previous emperors, who regarded those people who went to sea as people without kings and fathers, and still treated them as the people of Ming Dynasty, and attached great importance to their safety.

"My father-in-law said that we went this time to avenge the people of Daming, but we don't want to hurt the people because of this incident." Even though Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao felt a little disapproving, they followed Wang Chengen's advice, and He did not publicize this matter, but found some reliable businessmen from his own contacts to inquire about it.

They were not let go after the inquiry was over, but they were taken on board with them to prevent the news from being leaked, and secondly, these people would also come in handy after taking Luzon and other places.

These businessmen were a little uneasy at first, but after seeing the strong ships and guns of the Ming Navy, they immediately felt relieved, and even began to think about how much benefit Daming could bring to themselves by taking Luzon; However, the tentacles of Daming maritime merchants can only reach around Luzon at the farthest. If Luzon is occupied by Daming, they can continue to go west and do business in farther places. A longer distance means more The interests of these maritime merchants are very clear.

The army went south and arrived near the Guangdong Sea. Zheng Zhilong proposed to solve Liu Xiang. Neither Yu Zigao nor Wang Chengen objected. He, with Liu Xiang's eyeliner at sea, will sooner or later discover Zheng Zhilong's true purpose, and then inform the Esibanians.

Suddenly encountered Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao's attack, Liu Xiang, who was entrenched in the Pearl River Estuary, was defeated. Not only was most of his pirate ships destroyed, but even he himself became a prisoner of Zheng Zhilong; , Liu Xiang fell into deep remorse. If I knew this, I might as well have surrendered to Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Now I am afraid that there is only a dead end. But, when did he, Zheng Zhilong, have such a powerful fleet?

Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was not only overjoyed when he learned that Liu Xiang, the giant bandit who harmed Guangdong, was wiped out, he quickly sent people to welcome Yu Zigao, Zheng Zhilong and others into the city. The well-known father-in-law Wang Chengen also went south with the fleet, so Wang Zunde must not be sloppy.

With Wang Chengen around, Wang Zunde would naturally not refuse the various requests made by Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao.

Whether it was supplying food, vegetables, or fresh water, or sending craftsmen to repair ships, they were immediately arranged to do so;

After going out to sea this time, the fleet moved forward with full sail. The destruction of the Liuxiang Group will naturally attract the attention of the Sibanians. Fortunately, their warships are much faster than today's sea ships. It was blocked at the door of the Sibanians before.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but smile when he thought that he would soon make great contributions and be promoted to a title; How much entanglement is there.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Esibanians carried out the second massacre against the people of Ming Dynasty in Luzon. The imperial court originally expected Zheng Zhilong to punish the Exibanians. up.

After Zheng Chenggong inherited the power of the Zheng Group, he expressed his concern for the people of Luzon Daming many times, and after taking Dayuan Island, he sent Italian Catholic priest Li Keluo to the Philippines to present his credentials to the Spanish Governor, condemning him for killing and plundering The crimes committed by the people of the Ming Dynasty were strictly ordered to correct their evil ways and bow their heads to pay tribute, but the Spaniards carried out a third massacre instead.

Zheng Chenggong was furious when he heard the news, and decided to launch a conquest to avenge the people of Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, he compensated and resettled the overseas Chinese who fled from Luzon to Dayuan, on the other hand, he organized and prepared the army, and sent people to secretly contact the Ming people in Luzon, so that when the time came But the inside and the outside cooperated, but before sending troops, he learned that his son Zheng Jing had committed adultery with his nanny Chen Shi in Xiamen. Zheng Chenggong was furious and ordered Zheng Tai to kill Zheng Jing. Zheng Tai disobeyed because he couldn't bear it. , and soon died of illness.

Later, in the ninth year of Kangxi and the tenth year of Kangxi, Zheng Jing also planned to send a fleet to conquer Manila twice, but because of the San Francisco Rebellion, Zheng Jing led his troops westward to Fujian to support Geng Jingzhong and did not send troops; after Zheng Jing was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, The people of Daming in Luzon were completely abandoned, and could only endure the massacres by the Spaniards again and again.

This powerful fleet, which had never been seen in the East Asian waters, cut through the waves and moved forward at high speed. It took a few days to reach the territory of the Xuanwei Division in the old port. The aborigines on the surrounding islands were not only frightened when they saw this powerful fleet. endlessly.

Some knowledgeable natives recognized the flag on the mast, "This is Daming's navy! When did Ming have the ability to organize such a large fleet? Haven't they been attacked by barbarians from the north all these years?"

"I'm afraid those Essibanians are going to be in trouble now." Before, you could be unscrupulous, but now that the dragon has entered Nanyang, your doomsday has come.
