1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 185 Aftermath ([-])

"Old Su, all the soldiers who landed in Naxiyi were wiped out in the first battle of Hanzhou. Now it seems that their strength is not to be underestimated!" The sixth brother Jiapidanlin, a Batavian Chinese, poured a cup of tea for Su Minggang, with a face on his face. Showing a strange look.

"Hanzhou's military strength is indeed astonishing!" Su Minggang leaned back on his chair, thoughtful.

"Then our Chinese businessmen in Batavia, are we going to use them as backup in the future?" Brother Lin asked.

"Da Ming doesn't care about us Nanyang people, the barbarians only know how to use our power of trade and construction. In the end, we are all rootless duckweeds, and the good and bad are only in the minds of the barbarians." Su Minggang said slowly: " Hanzhou is not far from Nanyang, and it has armed forces. We will use Hanzhou as a backup, but will people pay attention to us?"

"Then what should I do?"

"Hanzhou was first established, didn't we give them many craftsmen?"

"Shall we send some craftsmen with them?"

"Instead of sending some craftsmen, why don't you go directly to the construction site!"

"That's right!" Sixth Brother Lin said with a smile: "It's still Su's far-sightedness. We will establish a foundation in Hanzhou, and this will integrate with Hanzhou's interests. In the future, when we are in trouble, how can Hanzhou stand by and watch?" !"

"Cao Xiong, the commander of Hanzhou, is a hero with affection. If we give him peaches, he will repay him with plums." Su Minggang said: "We are intertwined with Hanzhou. The stronger Hanzhou is, the stronger we will be here." Guaranteed."

"That's right! Although we are not as good as Lu Buwei, we still want to be a Conglong Mi Zhu."

"Mi Zhu?" Su Minggang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Then do you have a beautiful younger sister?"

"..." Sixth brother Lin was stunned, and smiled wryly, "I have two daughters, how dare I give them to Cao Xiong." He really didn't dare to be the cheap father-in-law of the boss of Hanzhou.

Su Minggang is secretly proud, my Su family has a good daughter, and Cao Xiong also happens to have a good nephew.

Hehe, my granddaughter is actually going to marry a pirate!

The tragedy of the Nanyang Chinese lies in the fact that they do not recognize their mother country, that the barbarians do not love them, and that the natives do not love them.As long as there is a local force that can be relied on, they will definitely do everything possible to attract it and rely on it.

"By the way, they want people in Hanzhou, and we Nanyang Chinese businessmen can help one or two." Su Minggang said: "Of course, it's not just people. They have what they need, so try our best to provide it!"

"Mr. Su, why don't we go to Hanzhou for a while?" Sixth Brother Lin said suddenly.

"Go to Hanzhou?" Su Minggang was not only a little moved, but then he thought of his age and couldn't help but sighed, "I won't go. If you have time, you might as well go and have a look."

---------------

"Interesting! It's really interesting!" After hearing the servant's report, Ma Huaiyu said to himself: "I can't imagine that they have such military power!It seems that in the future, we have to make great efforts to make friends with the shopkeeper Hu Da, which may be of great benefit to our True God Country. "

"Go, go to the pier and pack up the boat. We will go to Muar in two days." Ma Huaiyu ordered the servant.

Since Hanzhou wiped out all the Spanish troops that landed, he must have obtained a lot of muskets.Maybe a few cannons were also seized.Then, it is time for the Kingdom of Johor to prepare more women in exchange for the weapons in their hands.

The Dutch seized the rapids in the Kingdom of Aceh and gained a foothold in the Straits of Malacca.Now, they seem to have shifted their sights to the Kingdom of Johor and the city of Malacca.Try to get a foothold on the northern side of the strait as well.

The city of Malacca has been in the hands of the Portuguese for decades, and there are many firearms. The Dutch may not be able to chew on this tough bone.Therefore, the Kingdom of Johor may be the next target that the Dutch covet.

These Western heretics must be contained, and the true god country must also have enough force.Presumably, Hanzhou is definitely not of one mind with the Dutch.They will have their own interests, and we must use all potential forces to fight these evil heretics.

"Recently, you have to pay attention to the population market and buy some top-grade goods. In a few days, I will be useful, sir!" Ma Huaiyu turned to her butler and said, "Also, after I leave, pay attention to the situation of the Hanzhou warehouse. .to see if their shopkeeper Hu Da is back, and the details of their dealings with the Dutchman."

"Master suspects that they have made trouble with the Dutch?" the butler asked knowingly.

"It is said that the Dutch sat back and watched the Spaniards attack Hanzhou without any support. Therefore, their relationship is not as close as it seems!" Ma Huaiyu said with a smile: "And this may give us room for manipulation. Everything For the true God!"

The housekeeper touched his chest with one hand, bent down and said in a low voice: "Everything is for the true God!"

"Commander, the black guards have basically interrogated the captured Spaniards." Yu Fukun said to Cao Xiong.

"What did you ask?" Cao Xiong asked curiously.

"Commander, speaking of it, I don't believe it. The Spaniards in Luzon are only in the thousands and have only a few hundred soldiers. How dare he attack our Hanzhou!" Yu Fukun shook his head and said, "Just like Xiao God said, they look down on us too much!"

"Is this information accurate?" Cao Xiong was also surprised.With the defensive capabilities of our Hanzhou, even if you Spaniards send all those soldiers, they will not be able to break through Jianye City.

"The guards in black took turns to interrogate the musketeers and the sailors on the two ships, and they all confessed in this way." Yu Fukun said affirmatively: "However, they controlled 10,000+ natives and selected them as strong and strong servants. Three thousand."

"How many big ships do they have? I think their big ships are much stronger than the armed merchant ships of the Dutch!"

"The Spaniards have ten large ships like our Pioneer. However, two of them have been handed over to us now. There are also more than twenty other smaller armed merchant ships, and they have a large ship in Luzon. The shipyard can build that kind of large warship. It is estimated that it will take less than half a year to make up for the loss."

"Shipyard?" Cao Xiong immediately became interested when he heard these words, "Is their shipyard well-defended? Is it possible to sneak attack?"

"It's hard!" Yu Fukun knew that Cao Xiong had the intention of robbing the craftsmen of the shipyard. "The Spaniards built a fortress in that shipyard, guarding a hundred musketeers and more than 700 native servants all year round. And, that The shipyard is only twenty miles away from Manila. If there is an attack, reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Oh..." Cao Xiong shook his head in disappointment.It's a pity, if more than a dozen or 20 craftsmen who can build large ships are robbed, then our Hanzhou can easily break the blockade and control of the Dutch.

Alas, why don't you say that the Spaniards are all out to fight our Hanzhou.In this way, if they eat all their troops in one bite, they can smoothly rob their craftsmen.

"Where's Xiaotian? What is he doing? It seems like I haven't seen him for a few days." Cao Xiong asked Yu Fukun.

"Our chief manager of Hanzhou has been in Heishan City for the past few days, organizing all kinds of production and living materials, and preparing to ship them eastward."

Although the war with Spain came to an end, the relationship with the Dutch was in a cold period.All the ships of Hanzhou still stayed at Jianye City Wharf and did not go to Batavia and Daming.

Since all the ships are free, Qi Tian suggested that a large-scale fleet should be dispatched to load as much supplies as possible and sail eastward.In addition to hoarding a large amount of materials in Beikou Fort and Cape Fort, we will prepare in advance for the later exploration of the Eastern Front.They also had to bypass Cape Fort and go south, and selected one of the several alternative settlements that Dong Fengshan had explored for large-scale construction.

Most of the civil affairs officials in Hanzhou are almost busy preparing supplies and personnel.It is preliminarily scheduled to relocate 300 people to the selected eastern settlements in advance.These immigrants, as promised by Beikoubao and Haijiaobao, can be allocated 16 acres of land after two years of settlement, and those with small families, regardless of gender, can be allocated the same number of acres of land when they reach the age of [-].

At that time, there will be [-] township soldiers accompanying them to serve for a period of one year.After decommissioning, you can choose to return to the original place, or settle in the locality, and you can give priority to the allocation of fields.

"General manager, I have something to ask for my humble post." Xu Yanping, a military doctor of the Marine Corps, approached Qi Tian and said respectfully.

"What's the matter!" Qi Tian looked at Xu Yanping with emotion.Two years ago, he also learned various knowledge and cultures with himself along with other teenagers.Today, he is the first teenage officer to join the Marine Corps.Although he is in the ranks of military doctors, he is also one of the few knowledgeable officers in Hanzhou after all.

"The guard in black seized a package of dried tree bark from a Spanish priest. He suspected it was some kind of medicine. But the priest only admitted that the bark was only used to calm the mind. I went to show it to the master, and he didn't know why. " Xu Yanping smiled wryly, "Master said, you may know its usefulness."

"The guard in black didn't interrogate any more."

"They don't think this matter is important. ... Their focus is mainly on the political and military intelligence of the Spaniards in the Philippines. But I think it must be valuable for the priest to hide this bag of bark next to his body."

"Did he say what kind of bark this is?" Qi Tian took out a few pieces of dry and cracked bark from the bag, but he didn't know why.

"Jingana Frost Bark."

"Jingana Frost Bark?" Qi Tian shook his head and smiled wryly, what kind of tree is this?

"He said it was not a tree from the Nanyang region, but from a distant Bilu."

"Should go to Peru. They call it the Viceroyalty of Peru."

"Ah? It was translated to us by the instructors of those naval training institutes."

"It comes from far away Peru, and it's still well preserved. What is this Jingana Frost Tree?" Qi Tian couldn't help thinking about this kind of tree, and vaguely felt that it seemed to be related to some kind of medicine.

"How about, Chief Manager, I'll find a few brothers to interrogate him again. Maybe I'll find a life-saving medicine." Xu Yanping said.

Watching Xu Yanping leave the room, Qi Tian shook his head, "Jingana Shuangshu, what the hell is the Jingana Award! If it is Jingnashuangshu, it might be useful."

"Wait, cinchona tree, cinchona tree. Let me rub it, it should be cinchona tree. Cinchona can be extracted from quinine, a magic medicine for treating malaria!"
