"Dear General Zuo, we have achieved an unprecedented victory. From now on, there will no longer be any obstacles on the waters of the East, and our trade will be unimpeded."
Seeing Putmans expressing his emotions, Zuo Hua couldn't help but smile.
"From now on, we don't have to pay any damn tolls anymore."
These words made Putmans nod his head.
"Yeah, damn tolls!"
When the two armies joined together, there were thirteen Galenic warships, and their combat power was even more astonishing.
While Putmans marveled at the rapid development of Xia's navy, he was confident of the final victory.
"We should move forward quickly and not give Zheng Zhilong any chance to breathe. Only by completely eliminating him will we not have to worry about any recurrence in this sea area."
Zuo Hua had the same ideas as him, but they were inconsistent.
"Zheng Zhilong's power must be eliminated, but we must also intimidate the local officials in Fujian. Otherwise, as you know, with the virtue of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely hinder our trade."
Putmans couldn't agree more with this.
He also had many interactions with the Ming Dynasty, and he knew very well how annoying those people who were stuck in their ways were.
The two armies merged together and began to move south.
Not long after, we arrived at the sea outside Fuzhou.
Zuo Hua was not polite and directly occupied Guantang Mountain at the mouth of the Minjiang River and aimed his guns at the coastal area.
Just this one move caused tremors all over Fujian and made everyone panic.
That evening, a small boat approached fearfully, carrying representatives of Fujian officials.
"In front of the general, I beg the general, Cao Yanze, to have mercy on the innocent people of Fujian and refrain from fighting against each other."
Looking at the old man in front of me, I found that although there was sadness in his expression, there was not much fear. He was obviously a man who had experienced strong winds and waves.
"But the layman Shicang who has thousands of books?"
When the old man heard Zuo Hua's question, he couldn't help but be startled.
He was once a court official and had seen many vulgar generals, so he felt that the soldiers of Xia Kingdom must be the same. He never expected that Zuo Hua would actually know his name.
And I saw that Zuo Hua had a correct attitude and elegant manners. Although he was heroic, he was not vulgar or slovenly.
If it weren't for the fierce light in his one eye, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Zhou Yu was reincarnated.
Such a strange appearance has never been seen before in my life.
"I really didn't expect that the general would actually know that I have a false reputation. It's really an honor for me."
Seeing that he admitted it, Zuo Hua laughed. He walked up to him, held his arm and sat down together.
"Every time a dog is slaughtered in a righteous manner, it is a scholar who is unfaithful. My Royal Highness has something to say. With just this sentence, the old gentleman will definitely leave his name in the ages."
Zuo Hua and others have always received Zuo Menggeng's careful teachings on their growth path.
Not only did they teach them military knowledge, but they also covered various literature, politics, geography, history, etc.
Therefore, although Zuo Hua and others came from humble backgrounds, their mastery of knowledge was actually far superior to many people of this era.
The old man in front of me is named Cao Xuequan, and he is a well-known and well-known scholar in Fujian.
When he was an official, he had many political achievements, and he was upright and upright, and he effectively curbed the misbehavior of the emperor's relatives and vassals.
That famous couplet, which has been passed down through the ages, was inspired by his thoughts when he was conducting a trial in Guangxi.
Cao Xuequan was the lobbyist invited by Xiao Yifu to communicate with Xia Jun.
The old gentleman was eager for justice and was even more worried about the disasters suffered by the local people. Therefore, he readily agreed without fear of life or death.
When he came, he had already thought about how to deal with Xia Jun.
Even if he risked his life, if he could persuade Xia Jun not to attack innocent people, he would be satisfied.
As a result, I didn't expect that the Xia army was so civilized, and its generals were both civil and military.
The two parties sat down and upon hearing his intention, Zuo Hua did not make any secret of it.
"The conflict between the Xia Kingdom and the Zheng family is irresolvable, and a winner must be decided. If the local government stays out of the matter, we will not cause more trouble. Please also ask the old gentleman to tell Xiao Zhongcheng that it is best for everyone to live in peace. But from now on, the people of the Xia Kingdom
When I come to Fujian, I also ask the local officials to treat everyone equally and not to treat them harshly. Of course, my friends from Fujian will not be embarrassed when they travel on the sea in the future. As long as we abide by the rules and laws, we can go anywhere."
Cao Xuequan was really relieved to see Zuo Hua being so reasonable and kind.
"I have always heard that the Xia Kingdom is devoted to the people, and the people under the rule live and work in peace and contentment, and live a worry-free life. Today I saw that the general is compassionate, how lucky the people are! I wonder if I can travel to the Xia Kingdom?"
Zuo Hua hurriedly said: "Our country of Xia is open to the public and welcomes all friends from all over the world. The old gentleman is very talented and knowledgeable. It would be great if he would be willing to be in Linxia Kingdom and teach the younger generations."
This is the first time in Cao Xuequan's life that he has dealt with Xia Guo.
Only when we met face to face did we realize that Xia Guo's appearance was completely different from the legend.
Compare it to the smoky Ming Dynasty. The difference between superior and inferior is huge!
Cao Xuequan successfully completed his mission and returned the same day.
After receiving Xia Jun's attitude, everyone in Fujian cheered.
Xiao Yifu even ordered the city gates to be closed, isolating the inside and outside, and acted like a coward.
No matter what happens between Xia Guo and the Zheng family, it has nothing to do with them in Fujian.
After solving the problem of Fujian officials, Zuo Hua and Putmans continued southward and finally arrived at the sea outside Xiamen.
During this process, the 7th Regiment of the 2nd Marine Division was also transported.
Gu No. 2 Middle School personally commanded the 7th Regiment to land on Kinmen Island, using it as an advance base.
Zheng's hometown, Anhai Town, is already in sight.
Zheng Zhilong was sitting in his mansion, anxiously waiting for Zheng Hongkui's return.
But Zheng Hongkui did not bring back any promises from the Fujian government.
This made him understand that Zheng had been abandoned.
"Brother, the Xia army and the Dutch are approaching the city. I'm afraid that this place will be razed to the ground soon."
When the situation became clear, Zheng Hongkui also lost all his pride. When he thought that the Zheng family was about to be wiped out, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Looking up, how could the few warships in the bay block the terrifying artillery of the Xia-Dutch coalition?
If the Xia and Dutch coalition forces were only powerful with their warships, that would be it.
It just so happened that the Xia Kingdom also transported marine troops over.
Since we can capture Kinmen Island, we can set foot on land at any time.
Zheng's abilities on land are less than one-tenth of those in the sea.
The Xia State's army fought fiercely with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and won.
Can Mrs. Zheng be able to withstand this?
Above him, Zheng Zhilong looked even more desolate.
Even though this sea hero has unparalleled abilities and is able to conquer all the seas, at this moment he is faced with the crisis of the building collapsing and there is nothing he can do.
"Master Marquis, I would like to see you."
The servant's report made Zheng Zhilong particularly helpless.
"This brat, do you want to bring up the old story again?"
He knew very well what Zheng Chenggong was going to say when he came here.
But he didn't like hearing those words.
He, Zheng Zhilong, has been so majestic all his life, will he end up in disgrace in the end?
