The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 765

General Zhenglu was drinking in Seoul, thousands of miles away from the Humen Fort in Guangdong. How could he have predicted that the Xiyi fleet would attack the Humen Fort in August?

Huang Yong, Zheng Zhilong, Shen Xianyi, Huang Yi, etc. all felt confused.

This is not surprising. The first contest between the English and the Han people and the subsequent invasions were all recorded in the history textbooks.

Feng Shui takes turns, in this era, with Huang Han as a traveler, how can the English stand out?It is essential to hit the bird first.

Huang Han was going to kill and seize ships as much as possible before the development trend of England was fully expanded, so as to curb their development.

In the future, as long as warships and merchant ships flying the Union Jack flag are found at sea, no one will be let go, and no Englishmen will be released for ransom. The purpose is to deliberately reduce the number of veterans with sailing experience in England.

Huang Yong never compromised on the execution of his elder brother's orders. He didn't even ask why his elder brother predicted that there would be a Xiyi warship fleet to provoke Daming. He immediately stood up and said loudly:

"When Beizhi arrives at the coast of Guangdong, it will expand its search area and stay for a few days. If it finds Xiyi ships, it will attack them. If they don't surrender, they will all be sunk."

Huang Han emphasized: "The western barbarians who came this time are from England. I will draw the flags they hang in the study room later, and I will not let any ships with such flags fly in the future."

Huang Yong said: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely complete the task without compromise."

Zheng Zhihu was already overjoyed at this time, and it seemed that he would fight the English for the first time as the captain of the Longwu Navy in Nanyang.

He knew many Western Yi countries, and he had heard of and seen English merchant ships, warships and flags during his voyages to the Indian Ocean.

At this time, he clasped his fists and said, "General, I know a little bit about the situation of the English and their banner. I know that England ranks at the top among the western barbarian countries, and its fighting power should not be underestimated."

It seems that the Zheng Zhilong Group has done nothing wrong in the South China Sea all these years, knowing the maritime strength of the Western Yi countries.

Huang Han said: "General Zheng Zhihu, Xiyi's combat power should not be underestimated, but they seem to be outdated when they encounter the battleship formation of 'Liaoyang' that you are about to lead.

With your sea battle experience and bravery, coupled with the overall strength of the Longwu navy, it is no problem to defeat Xiyi and capture their warships and merchant ships.

Remember, don't be kind to Xiyi, these people worship the strong, it is useless to talk about benevolence and morality with them, only killing them will get a miraculous effect. "

Zheng Zhihu was terrified when he saw that General Zhenglu had such high regard for him, he quickly cupped his fists and bowed and said, "I will follow the instruction, the general is assured, as long as I have seven or eight warships like the 'Liaoyang', I will definitely be in the South China Sea." The beating made Xiyi terrified."

Huang Han nodded, looked at Zheng Zhilong, and said: "General Zheng, the fifty warships of the Fujian Navy don't need so many crew members to assist in the transportation in the Liaohai Sea.

The Lord wants to transfer [-]% of your sailors with more than five years of sailing experience to the Longwu Navy's warships in Nanyang this time. Is it possible? "

Zheng Zhilong's mouth was full of bitterness, this wine was not good!First, Zheng Zhihu was transferred away, and then 1000 senior sailors under his command were required. Do you have the confidence not to agree to being under the fence?
He was a bachelor, so he immediately got up and cupped his fists and said: "The general obeys the order, and must choose the best sailors to serve the general."

Huang Han smiled and said approvingly: "I am very happy with General Zheng's statement. The Fujian Navy has given a lot of help to the 'Red Banner Army' this time. After taking Pyongyang in autumn, I will show my merits to you and your subordinates." I ask the court to reward you."

The warship Huang Han of the Zheng Zhilong Group looks down upon Huang Han, but too many of their senior sailors have been at sea for more than ten years, and they have rich sailing experience.

Put more than a dozen of these people to serve on the battleships of the Longwu Navy. These people will be assimilated by the "Red Banner Army" and their practical experience will be learned.

There is also a huge benefit. These people will feel the collective strength of the "Red Banner Army", enjoy generous treatment, and experience the dignity of being a human being.

Their families are all in the area controlled by the Zheng Zhilong Group, and they will definitely return to their hometowns in the future. During the period, they will also communicate with relatives in Fujian. Unknowingly, the Zheng Zhilong Group will be infiltrated and influenced by the "Red Banner Army".

After Zheng Zhilong agreed to the conditions, seeing Huang Han seemed very happy, he saluted again: "General, the general has a lot of property in Fujian, and also has a lot of business to deal with.

The reason why I personally led the fifty warships you requested to aid Liao is because the general wants to see you and listen to your teachings.

Now that the wish has been fulfilled, I am going to leave Gan Hui and other generals to lead fifty warships, and I implore to follow General Huang Yong to sail the Nanyang fleet back to Fujian. "

When it was suggested that the imperial court dispatch fifty warships from the Fujian Navy to aid Liao, Huang Han did not expect Zheng Zhilong to come in person, this time it was already an accident.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's request to go home at this time, Huang Han didn't hold back his intention at all, and agreed: "It's absolutely fine, and the Longwu Marine Division will definitely do its best to help General Zheng if he has any difficulties in the future.

Benjue thought that General Zheng could try to go to the Strait of Malacca to win a piece of land for management. There are so many merchant ships traveling there, and the benefits he can earn must be better than nesting in the South China Sea.

With the strong ships and guns of the Longwu Navy in the South China Sea, all merchant ships navigating in that sea area must have been licensed by the "Sun Moon Shipping" in the future.

If someone robs a merchant ship flying a navigational flag, the Longwu navy will spare no effort to hunt it down.

However, it is completely different in the waters of Malacca. The Longwu Navy may not develop there in three to five years, and General Zheng can seriously consider opening up a new world there. "

Seeing the strength of the Longwu Navy, Zheng Zhilong was already a little discouraged, and his eyes began to shine again after hearing Huang Han's words.

He doesn't know how busy the Strait of Malacca is, and he has long planned to get involved there. However, there are so many Western-style deck warships operating there, and the navy of European countries are untouchable existences. He took his command and went there to grab The risk of the site is too great.

But now it is completely different. The General Zhenglu, who has strong ships and sharp guns, is willing to send troops to help him grab the territory. How can such a good thing be let go?

Zheng Zhilong has been floating on the sea since he was a child, jumping from country to ship, often committing murder and robbing goods, he is not a shy master.

On the contrary, he actually likes to cause trouble and is eager to own his own territory. Knowing that the Longwu Navy is really willing to take action, he will definitely do something in the Straits of Malacca.

Zheng Zhilong knelt down with a plop and said, "General, the general is willing to go to the Strait of Malacca to make a fortune. I implore the general for assistance."
