Chapter 286 Wu Sangui, you are the best in the world!
Yang Qilong frowned, and he could tell that he was holding back some water!
After holding it in for a long time, Yang Qilong finally opened his mouth, waving a folding fan and slowly said: "Your Majesty... now the autumn wind is about to rise, our naval forces are not fully prepared, and things in Guangdong are also not ready.
It still takes a few months to straighten things out, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to go across the sea to conquer Jiangnan within this year."
After hearing what he said, Zhu Heji turned his attention to Qiu Rong and Chen Shangchuan.
After all, the champion Qiu Rong was still a naval commander. After going around in circles, Zhu Heji still made him a naval governor - his father Qiu Hui is now the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He is the naval governor, one branch and two governors.
It’s really a sight to behold!
After Chen Shangchuan captured Qiongzhou, he was also invited to Guangzhou by Zhu Heji - he was also a naval talent, but his talent was limited by Yongzhen Qiongzhou. So Zhu Heji made him the admiral of the Nanyang Navy!
There was a naval governor and a naval admiral, and the navy of the Guangzhou court was left to them both.
The main tasks of the two of them now are to train naval officers and supervise shipbuilding... This is both time-consuming and laborious work!
"Your Majesty," Qiu Rong said, "if you want to hire civilian ships or foreign ships, if you give me a month, I can buy you 200 large ships. But if you want to use a warship like the Dongfang, you can send troops next summer.
I’m already in a hurry.”
Chen Shangchuan also said: "Your Majesty, actually using civilian ships and foreign ships is enough to deal with Qingyao's navy... But Maytock, the governor of the Dutch East India Company, visited Japan not long ago.
He went to Ningbo in the name of Ningbo, and then disappeared. He was probably taken to Jiangning by Fan Chengmo. The Dutch fleet that escorted him to Ningbo is still in Ningbo Port, so we have to be on guard!"
Qiu Rong snorted: "These Dutch red-haired barbarians are the worst... That Metoke went to Beijing to kowtow to the Shunzhi demon head, and later helped the Qing demon to fight against Xiamen Island. It was simply
The crime deserves death!"
Military Advisor Zhuge frowned and said: "Your Majesty, these Dutch foreigners don't have much trouble with us... The one who has a grudge against them is the Yanping Palace, not our Ming Dynasty. And we don't prohibit the Dutch from entering Hong Kong to trade.
.Can't we give them some benefits and win them over? At least let them remain neutral."
Yang Qilong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Dutch foreign barbarians seem to be particularly hostile to us, even more so than the foreign monks in Macau. Is there some unknown reason behind this?"
"Haha," Zhu Heji said with a sneer, "Nanyang was originally the land of our Ming vassal, and the sea was full of ships and merchant ships of our Ming merchants. But now it has been occupied by foreign barbarians who came from tens of thousands of miles across the Western Ocean, among which there are
The Dutch have the largest share. Therefore, the Dutch foreigners are naturally afraid of our revival of the Ming Dynasty and are afraid that we will take away their interests."
In his previous life, Zhu Heji was a "little anti-imperialist" who poached the corners of imperialism. Of course he knew the little thoughts of imperialism.
What the Dutch cannot accept the most is a China that is powerful enough to reestablish the Chinese order in the East... Although this order has existed for more than a thousand years, they have only been here for a few decades.
"But we don't have such an idea now!" Zhuge Sanhe still didn't understand imperialism well enough. "We have only taken over a corner of Guangdong now. How can we have time to compete with the Dutch for the small profits in Southeast Asia?"
Zhu Heji snorted: "We don't have this idea, but we do have this ability. In their view, having this ability is a sin! But their war fleet is guarding Ningbo Port, saving us the trouble of looking for them everywhere.
.When our navy is established next year, we can just destroy them all together."
Zhu Heji had quite a lot of confidence in his own navy. The Great Eastern-class armed merchant ship had just completed the construction of the No. 1 and No. 2 ships. The sailors were still using soft sailing boats under the guidance of the mixed-race Portuguese instructors from Macau, but
Already thinking about destroying the Dutch East India Company's war fleet!
And those who have no idea about the rich Nanyang are Zhuge Sanhe, Yang Qilong, Wu Sanwei and other "mainland factions", Zhu Heji, Qiu Rong, Qiu Hui, Chen Shangchuan, Chen Yonghua, and the rich third generation Zheng Jing are simply too interested in Nanyang.
Got an idea...
"Your Majesty," Yang Qilong had already thought of a "bad idea" at this time, "I already have a solution."
"What can we do?" Zhu Heji asked.
Yang Qilong shook his fan and said: "Of course this is a way to trick Xuan Ye, Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong."
"This relationship is so good!" Zhu Hexin said: "With one plan, Kangxi, Wu Sangui, and Geng Jingzhong were all tricked... This is bad enough!"
"How?" Zhu Heji asked hurriedly.
"Of course it's a series of pits, pits within pits!" Yang Qilong said with a smile, "Let me first tell you the goal you want to achieve."
"Tell me." Zhu Heji nodded.
Yang Qilong said: "I thought Wu Sangui was old and frail, Wu Yingxiong had no ambition, and Wu Yingqi was reckless and impulsive... Once Wu Sangui dies, the Wu family will decline! Compared with the Wu family, the threat of Qingyao is greater. Xuan Ye is young and energetic.
, and he is not an incompetent person, he just lacks experience and does not have many experienced generals under his command. If he can win the Battle of Jianghan, his methods and talents will be fully experienced.
Therefore, Wu Sangui must win the Jianghan battle, but at the same time, he cannot win too much. This should be our first goal."
"Well," Zhu Heji asked, "Where's the second target?"
"The second goal is that our people must capture Jiujiang and block Wu Sangui's eastward advance." Yang Qilong analyzed, "Wu Sangui already has the ambition to become emperor. If he captures Wuchang, Hanyang will definitely usurp the imperial title. If he cannot
If the choke point of Jiujiang is blocked in time, Wu Sangui will most likely go eastward along the river to seize Jinling."
Zhu Heji nodded, "Is there more?"
"There is also a third goal," Yang Qilong said, "which is to capture Geng Jingzhong's Fujian together with the Zheng family. If we want to achieve the first two goals, we must use Geng Jingzhong's big name. After using him, he will
There is no need for Fujian land."

Yang Qilong smiled and said, "Whether he can still have a head to eat depends on his fate."
"I think his life may be a little bitter!" Zhu Heji shook his head, "Commander Yang, tell me, how to get Geng Jingzhong on the road?"
"It took two people to trick Geng Jingzhong, one was the Prince of Yanping County; the other was Liu Jinzhong." Yang Qilong said, "First of all, we had to ask the Prince of Yanping County to come forward and deceive Geng Jingzhong into sending troops to attack Jiangxi and Wuchang.
Then Liu Jinzhong will come forward to betray Geng Jingzhong... If Xuan Ye learns that Geng Jingzhong has rebelled, and finds out that Liu Jinzhong is a true loyalist, he will definitely mobilize the troops from Wuchang and Jiujiang to set up an ambush in order to eliminate them in the shortest time.
Geng Jingzhong is a scourge!”
Zhu Heji said with a smile: "Wuchang will be empty in this way! If Wu Sangui seizes the time and strikes hard, he will probably be able to hit the walls of Wuchang. But whether Wuchang can be captured depends on whether the soldiers Xuan Ye sent to Jiangxi to fight Geng Jingzhong can be reached in time.
Backing up."
Yang Qilong said: "If we can't come back for help... then it's Liu Jinzhong's turn to trick Xuan Ye!
If he had counterattacked when Geng Jingzhong was being surrounded and suppressed by Qing Yao, and joined us in a surprise attack on Jiujiang, cutting off Qing Yao's way back to Wuhan, Wu Sangui would have been able to conquer Wuchang, which was empty of troops, right?"
"That's for sure!" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "Wu Sangui is not incompetent, and the gains and losses of Wuchang and Hanyang are related to the survival of the Wu family, so he will definitely go all out."
At this point, he suddenly frowned again, "But how should King Yanping trick Geng Jingzhong? How should he ask him to come forward? Liu Jinzhong is Geng Jingzhong's old subordinate, so how can he push Geng Jingzhong into the fire pit?"
"Your Majesty," Yang Qilong said sternly, "King Yanping has received His Majesty's intervention. I will accompany him to Chaozhou, and then ask Prince Yanping to come to Chaozhou to meet. Then I will definitely be able to convince King Yanping.
