The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 156
Facing Zhu Hongyu's straightforward refusal, Liu Guoxuan's expression turned ugly, and he turned around and left.

However, due to Zheng Chenggong's military order, he did not dare to leave Luzon with the fleet before the war was completely over.

But in the next attack on Manila, it would be impossible for Zheng Jun, led by Liu Guoxuan, to take action.

Ma Xin didn't interrupt just now, and he only spoke after Liu Guoxuan shook his sleeves and left.

"Governor, General Liu didn't mean anything malicious, he just expressed something wrong!"

"Please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief!"

As Zheng Chenggong's confidant, Ma Xin once met Chen Yonghua alone after the meeting between Zhu Hongyu and Chen Yonghua.

Knowing that Zheng Chenggong had a plan, if Emperor Yongli died, he was going to support Zhu Hongyu, who was about to marry the Zheng family, to become the supervisor of the country and raise the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

In Ma Xin's view, regardless of whether this matter can be achieved or not, it is not a good thing for Liu Guoxuan and Zhu Hongyu to have a very tense relationship now.

So, he took the initiative to mediate!
And, at the same time, Ma Xin also wanted to call Liu Guoxuan stupid.

This guy doesn't understand the world at all, doesn't he?

As long as he didn't directly ask for it, but said that he would spend money to buy it or exchange materials for shipwrights and wood, even if the price was low, he would not break up with Zhu Hongyu.

It can be seen from this that prostitution for free is really bad!
In fact, Ma Xin didn't think highly of the recovery army.

In his eyes, the Guangfu Army has no more than [-] civilians and no more than [-] soldiers, and its strength is just that.

It's not worthy of the Zheng family's attention!

However, when he saw the fighting power and fighting will of the Liberation Army on the battlefield, he realized that he had made a big mistake.

The strength of the recovery army is really not bad!

Just to say a little bit, they lined up neatly, withstood the fierce shelling and musket salvo, and walked to a distance of forty or fifty steps before shooting at the red-haired soldiers.

Then with two rounds of three rows, a bayonet charge defeated the three thousand red-haired soldiers in front of them!

How many people in Zheng Jun can do such a thing?

Although the Guangfu Army has few soldiers, they are all elite soldiers!

And such an elite soldier was established by Zhu Hongyu from scratch in less than a year since the rebellion of the Guangfu Army.

Isn't such a clan worthy of awe?
If the original Yongli, Longwu and other emperors had the ability to do so, would the Manchus still be able to perish the Daming Sheji?

Give this master a few more years to train tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the future will definitely be limitless!

Whether Daming can restore the country in the future, maybe it really depends on this master!
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"General Ma, don't worry, this governor has always been tolerant, and he is not the kind of person with a small belly!"

The relationship between Zhu Hongyu and Ma Xin was still good, and the two began to arrange for the reception of prisoners of war.

Liu Guoxuan was not interested in the Spanish merchant ships that surrendered, so he lifted the anchor and raised the sails to leave the bay with Zheng's fleet, which had expanded several times in size after the Battle of Luzon.

After capturing the Spanish sailing battleships, Zheng's sea power was greatly expanded, and he naturally looked down on those Spanish armed merchant ships.

It's just that Zheng Jun's people look down on Spanish armed merchant ships, but Zhu Hongyu thinks highly of them.

Even if armed merchant ships cannot be used as warships, it is good to use them for maritime trade!
Otherwise, Zhu Hongyu shouted the slogan of no taxation for three years and five and a half years of taxation. If there is no support from maritime trade profits, after the money and property captured by the Spaniards captured in the Luzon War are spent, the military government's finances will probably be very difficult. Crash soon.

Of course, what made Zhu Hongyu even more interested was the gold and silver money that the Spaniards loaded on these ships!
He doesn't believe it anymore, these Spaniards are going to run away, can they not take their family fortune with them!
……

Zhu Hongyu saw Capello, Yada and his son again!
However, when Zhu Hongyu saw them this time, his face was not as good-looking as before.

"Your Excellency, Governor, I have contributed to the military government and provided supplies to the military government. I ask for your kindness and forgiveness."

Capello knelt in front of Zhu Hongyu, begging for mercy humbly without any pride of a Spanish nobleman.

Zhu Hongyu, on the other hand, kept a cold face and said in a serious tone.

"If I remember correctly, the Chinese who were killed in the two massacres around 1603 and 1639 also contributed to the construction of Manila?"

"They used their own sweat and labor to build up the city of Manila and provide for the luxurious life of you colonists."

"So, when you were in Tuhua, did you show kindness and forgiveness to these poor Chinese people?"

Ma Xin's eyes widened suddenly, as if he understood what Zhu Hongyu wanted to do.

I'm afraid this guy is going to raise a knife against the Spaniards in Manila!
The expression on Capello's face stagnated, but he continued to speak.

"Respect Your Excellency the Governor, I know that I have committed a serious crime, but my son, when the Tu Hua incident happened, he was not yet ten years old."

"His hands were not stained with Chinese blood..."

Capello tried hard to argue, and from Zhu Hongyu's murderous tone, he knew that there was a high probability that his life would not be saved.

He said that he didn't have Chinese blood on his hands, but Capello himself didn't believe it!

But he still wants to fight for a chance for his son!
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"The executioner with Chinese blood on his hands, the governor will not let go. Even if he dies, the governor will dig him out of the grave, smash his bones and ashes, so that he will never be reborn forever!"

"But if your son is really innocent, the governor will not kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

Having said all this, Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and ordered Capello and other prisoners to be escorted down.

The Restoration Army began to board the ship, carrying boxes of Spanish silver dollars and gold off the ship. Zhu Hongyu was speechless watching it.

After moving for a long time, the clerk of the Guangfu Army who was in charge of cleaning up the dirt came to Zhu Hongyu to report.

"General, at least half of it is left!"

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and ordered on the spot.

"Look for someone to count how much red-haired dirt there is, and count it carefully, there can be no mistakes or omissions!"

"After the counting is complete, [-]% will be distributed among the soldiers participating in this battle according to their rank and credit!"

"Including Zheng Jun's brother, all share!"

"But remember the merits first, and wait until after Manila is conquered!"

Hu Dinggao who was beside Zhu Hongyu asked.

"Governor, where is the navy?"

Zhu Hongyu had just broken up with Liu Guoxuan, so Hu Dinggao asked this question.

Zhu Hongyu smiled heartily and asked back.

"Did Brother Shui participate in the battle? Did you make any contribution?"

Hu Dinggao nodded and said.

"Participated in the war, and made meritorious service!"

Zhu Hongyu shrugged and said.

"Isn't that enough? Since the brothers of the navy have participated in the war and made meritorious service, how can we not give them?"

"Is it because of a little conflict between me and General Liu?"

"Could it be that because of the small conflict between me and General Liu, the brother of the navy is not my brother of the Ming army?"

"Because of personal likes and dislikes, the rewards and punishments in the army are unclear. This governor will not do such a thing!"
