The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 141 Etiquette
Zhu Hongyu nodded, he had no way to raise objections to this matter.

Because he is a clan, and a clan that leads soldiers!

The emperor is in danger, logically speaking, his clan must be the one most anxious to be king.

This is political correctness!
Even if Zhu Hongyu thinks that Yongli will die quickly, the position of orthodoxy in the world is vacant, so he can rely on his clan status to fight for orthodoxy, but he will definitely not be able to show it.

Even if a group of people under him hope to die forever, they all hope that Zhu Hongyu can be the emperor in the future, and give them the wealth they want, they must not show it.

In order to be politically correct, Zhu Hongyu must be the most active one in King Qin's rescue!
Before Zhu Hongyu didn't have enough strength, the identity of the clan was his biggest basis!

At the beginning of the uprising, he was able to call in people because he was from the clan of the Ming Dynasty!
After the incident, the reason why so many people were willing to follow him to the death was also because he was the clan of the Ming Dynasty!

Even Zheng Chenggong sent people to reinforce him this time, there is definitely a reason why he, Zhu Hongyu, is the Ming clan!

What is clan?
It is the embodiment of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the embodiment of the rules of etiquette.

What is etiquette?

The distinction between the concubine and the concubine, the affiliation between the big clan and the small clan, this is the law of etiquette!
Zhu Hongyu was born in the lineage of King Chu, although he belonged to the clan, it can only be regarded as a minor clan.

But Yongli is the grandson of Emperor Wanli, the direct son of King Gui's lineage, that is the real great master in the world!
The concubine made way for the legitimate son, and the Xiaozong obeyed the Dazong, in the eyes of the people in the world, that is a matter of course!

Before that, Zhu Hongyu was under so much pressure on his shoulders because of the support he received because of his clan status.

Before he has enough strength and prestige to suppress the influence of feudal etiquette, Zhu Hongyu can only succumb to reality.

"Sir, please tell Lord Guoxing that the governor will end the battle with the Spaniards as soon as possible!"

"Then make preparations for the conquest of King Qin!"

Chen Yonghua said.

"The governor doesn't need to rush to a decisive battle with the Spaniards. The country's surname is going to conquer King Mianqin, and the army must be repaired in Luzon."

"When tens of thousands of tomorrow's soldiers land in Luzon, the Spaniards will have no chance of winning!"

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu spoke again.

"When is Lord Guoxing going to set off?"

Chen Yonghua said.

"Now the army is already preparing the food, grass and military equipment needed for the expedition, but it will take at least three to five months to start!"

It is very time-consuming to prepare the food and grass needed for an expedition!
It's like Zheng Chenggong's preparations to recover the military supplies needed by the senior officials, from the great victory in Xiamen, the complete annihilation of the [-] navy of the Qing army, to the official cross-sea expedition to the senior officials!
It took Zheng Chenggong more than half a year to prepare food, grass and military equipment.

This time the expedition is longer and the battle is expected to be more intense. Along the way, Batavia, Malacca and other places will be captured, and then there will be landing operations in Burma.

Zheng Chenggong only prepared for three or five months before dispatching troops, which is considered extremely hasty!

Fortunately, in the Battle of Zeelandia, Zheng Chenggong quickly conquered Zeelandia with the help of the Restoration Army, instead of adopting the siege strategy as in history.

It saved Zheng Jun a large amount of food, grass and weapons that were expected to be consumed during the siege.

Therefore, this time, Zheng Chenggong was only able to prepare for an expedition in March and May.

The reason why Zheng Jun, who had a reinforcement rate in Luzon, was able to send troops so quickly was because the Liberation Army provided food, grass and weapons for the reinforcements.

Zheng Jun can just come directly with a knife, and there is no need to prepare anything else.

The reason why the Restoration Army could afford the food and logistics of the [-] Zheng Army was because Zhu Hongyu had been preparing for the decisive battle with the Spaniards for more than half a year.

They have already started hoarding food, grass and weapons!

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and spoke.

"Please report back to Lord Guo Xing, the governor will completely end the war with the Spaniards in Luzon before the army sets out!"

"And prepare the food and grass needed for the expeditionary army!"

It is absolutely unacceptable for Zhu Hongyu to wait for three to five months until Zheng Chenggong leads the army to arrive before fighting the Spaniards.

One is because Zhu Hongyu regards Luzon as his basic game, and he wants to win it by himself!

Borrowing troops is fine, but this battle must be led by him!

Let Zheng Chenggong take command, absolutely not!

The second is that according to the scouting report, the Spanish fleet of galleons has arrived.

Even if the Liberation Army does not take the initiative to attack, the Spaniards who have been reinforced may come over at any time!
The war cannot be delayed until then!

Chen Yonghua showed surprise on his face, as if he understood what Zhu Hongyu was thinking, but he didn't say much, just nodded and said.

"It's good for the governor to end the war in Luzon as soon as possible!"

"It's important to be king this time!"

"If the emperor dies, what should we and other officials do?!"

"Is it possible to establish another emperor?!"

When he said this, Chen Yonghua stared straight at Zhu Hongyu with a pair of eyes.

That look seemed to say, do you want to be an emperor?
However, Zhu Hongyu shook his head resolutely, and then spoke firmly.

"No, the Son of Heaven is blessed by the Emperor Taizu, so nothing will happen!"

It's not that Zhu Hongyu doesn't want to be an emperor, but he doesn't want to be a puppet emperor.

Before he didn't have enough strength in his hands, the emperor was just a pawn in the hands of Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, and others.

There will be no difference from the puppet emperors such as Yongli, Longwu, and Shaowu in history!
Even if these people are loyal and never betray Daming, Zhu Hongyu doesn't want to be a pawn!
Either he doesn't want to be an emperor, or he must be a real emperor!

The true emperor who holds power in his hand and can decide the life and death of thousands of people with one word!

Chen Yonghua's temptation failed, but he was not disappointed, but spoke instead.

"Students leave, now I have to go back to the senior officials to report the news to Lord Guoxing!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"Bon voyage sir!"

"..."

……

Chen Yonghua came and left quickly.

After conveying to Zhu Hongyu and Ma Xin the news that Zheng Chenggong was preparing to conquer Myanmar, he left in a hurry.

Zhu Hongyu turned to Ma Xin and said.

"Admiral Ma, Lord Guoxing wants to conscript King Mianqin, and the war on our side must be done as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, in case Lord Guoxing sends troops from the generals, but the battle in Luzon has not yet come to fruition, I'm afraid there is no way to explain to Lord Guoxing!"

Ma Xin nodded and said.

"What the governor said is true!"

"What to do next, I ask the Commander-in-Chief to order!"

Ma Xin's words let Zhu Hongyu breathe a sigh of relief again.

He has been worrying about the ownership of the command of this battle, and Zhu Hongyu will never give in to the command of this battle.

If Ma Xin also wants to command, things will be very troublesome!
Now that Ma Xin can express his position like this, it would be great.

It can be seen that his warm hospitality to Ma Xin during this time was not in vain!

In fact, there is a reason why Ma Xin made such a statement. Although he has a large number of soldiers, Luzon is not his home field.

How could he be able to command the battle with his eyes blinded to the respective situations of Luzon!
It's better to simply hand over the command to Zhu Hongyu, he will follow orders!

What's more, Ma Xin doesn't think he has such a big face if he asks a great Ming clan to obey his orders!
