The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 254 Chang Moumou Says I'm Familiar

Although those smart businessmen have made a bold guess, facing the Macau Commercial Port can bring them huge benefits every year.

They all consciously chose to shut up!

Shang Kexi couldn't let go of the benefits that Prince Pingnan's Mansion could get every year in Macau, and other businessmen couldn't let go either.

Shang Kexi signed the "Nanjing Treaty", but actually did not report it to the Qing court.

From Shang Kexi's point of view, isn't it the transfer of Macau from the Portuguese to the English?

Such a trivial matter is not worth alarming the capital!

Of course, more importantly, Shang Kexi didn't want the Qing court to know how much interest he had in Macau every year.

It is the most normal operation to choose to cover the lid!
Therefore, apart from the news that the Qing government had received the news that the Pingnan Prince's vassals had lost a battle in Tanzhou Town, and I Dagong died in battle.

Even the news of the fall of Xiangshan, Foshan, Humen and other places was not reported!
Don't know anything about what's going on in Macau!
On the contrary, Geng Jingzhong was more honest, and reported to the Qing court capital that Zhangzhou and Quanzhou had fallen, and the Ming army had invaded Fuzhou.

……

The Ming army completely withdrew from the mainland, except for occupying Hong Kong at the mouth of the Pearl River, Humen and other places were all abandoned.

Zhu Hongyu summoned Qiu Hui, the leader of the Coastal Anti-Qing Rebel Army, and others in Hong Kong!

Give them a banquet, support their righteous deeds against the Qing Dynasty, give military aid, and bestow official positions on Daming!
A generous letter of appointment!
Chang Moumou, chairman of Kaishen Logistics, expressed his familiarity with this operation!
Life for these rebels is hard!

At the beginning of the uprising, although they were large in scale, they suffered heavy losses under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Qing army.

We can only retreat to the Dahao area!
If it weren't for the critical moment of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition to the mainland, soldiers approached the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, which attracted the main force of the Qing army.

These rebels are afraid that they will not be able to stay on the mainland and will retreat to the coastal islands.

Qiu Hui and others led a large number of recovery troops to seize armor, weapons, and some food and medicinal materials from the Qing army.

Holding the letter of appointment issued by Zhu Hongyu himself, he happily returned to Dahao.

They are going to recuperate in Dahao and restore their strength. When the Ming army marches northward, they can support them from the sidelines.

Standing at the pier in Hong Kong, Zhu Hongyu watched the boats that Qiu Hui and others were on gradually disappear into sight.

Said to Wang Youcai beside him.

"If you have money, I will give you the strength of a regiment. Can you guarantee that Hong Kong will not be lost?"

Zhu Hongyu intentionally arranged for Wang Youcai to defend Hong Kong and was responsible for guarding the nail in the Pearl River Estuary for the Restoration Army.

Wang Youcai took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee and said.

"The final general will live up to his trust!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"The Hong Kong Fortress is the nail that my Ming nailed at the mouth of the Pearl River. It was the most important logistics transit point for my Ming to counterattack the mainland."

"It is also the most important link for my Ming Dynasty to show the people in the mainland that we will never be partial to peace and accept immigrants from the mainland!"

"The importance is self-evident!"

Wang Youcai took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"The final general will definitely be worthy of the trust of His Highness Jian Guo, and hereby issue a military order. If there is any loss in Hong Kong, the final general will come to see you!"

Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and said.

"That's not enough!"

"If something really cannot be done, it doesn't matter if Hong Kong abandons it!"

"If the territory is lost, we can fight back, but if the people are gone, there will be nothing!"

"You and the soldiers of this regiment are the most important wealth of the Liberation Army at the mouth of the Pearl River!"

Wang Youcai nodded vigorously.

The expression on his face was full of emotion.

……

After arranging the defense of Hong Kong and the subsequent development, Zhu Hongyu left Hong Kong and headed for Qiongzhou with the main force of the army.

Zhu Hongyu himself stayed in Qiongzhou, preparing to arrange matters in Qiongzhou, while the main force of the recovery army returned to Luzon for repairs.

Although the main force has returned to Luzon, this does not mean that the Restoration Army has no troops in Qiongzhou!

Even if you don't talk about the recruits in the recruit camp, there are now more than [-] recruits, and there are still [-] veterans in the Qiongzhou garrison.

Zhu Hongyu's ship slowly sailed into Qiongzhou Port.

A salute was fired in the port, and amidst the huge gunpowder smoke, countless people spontaneously stood up to welcome His Royal Highness Jian Guo's triumphant return.

The voice of the mountain shouting long live resounded through the entire Qiongzhou Port!

Zhu Hongyu stood on the deck, wearing a bright yellow uniform and a cape, looking towards the direction of the port.

The Guangfu Army's operation for more than half a year has already achieved initial results. Compared with before, Qiongzhou Port at this time is not as prosperous as it used to be.

The duty-free policy has attracted a large number of merchants, and a large number of various workshops have been opened, providing Qiongzhou Commercial Port with a large amount of goods.

As a result, a large number of sea merchants poured into Qiongzhou every moment, and even made Qiongzhou Port seem a little crowded.

The congestion caused by the prosperity has forced Qiongzhou Port to plan an expansion plan.

With the military government's decree to expand Qiongzhou Port, a large number of hired workers and labor camps are busy at the port.

At this time, Qiongzhou Port is more like a large construction site.

Everything seems to be thriving!

When Zhu Hongyu's ship docked at the port, officials from the military government and landlords and gentry from Qiongzhou came forward to greet him one after another.

Zhu Hongyu ordered to arrange a banquet and drink with everyone.

After the banquet was over, Zhu Hongyu returned to his residence in Qiongzhou City.

As soon as he entered the gate, Wen Wen came up to meet him and supported Zhu Hongyu's arm.

Said in a soft voice.

"Your Highness, this concubine is here to support you!"

A faint fragrance wafted into the tip of his nose, feeling the soft touch from this arm, Zhu Hongyu felt a slight heat in his heart.

Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition to Guangdong, he has been eating and living with the soldiers in the army.

It's not easy to find a woman to serve the bed. After holding back for such a long time, it's time for the sow to compete with Diaochan.

Besides, Wenwen's looks and figure are both top-notch!
Zhu Hongyu got drunk, touched Wenwen's head casually, and said in a slightly frivolous tone.

"You don't need to serve Gu here!"

"You go take a shower first, and then wait on the couch!"

Wen Wen lowered her head shyly, her shyness made people even more tempted.

The frivolity of licking a dog is playing hooligans, but the frivolity of a high-ranking person like Zhu Hongyu is romantic.

The beauty beside her had fallen into a deep sleep, but Zhu Hongyu hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Enjoying a moment of tranquility and tenderness, but still thinking about things in his heart.

Gradually, a sense of fatigue surged up, and Zhu Hongyu also fell into a deep sleep.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Zhu Hongyu got up early.

After breakfast, he took his entourage to inspect the development of Shilu Iron Mine.

And the construction of the arsenal branch!

As the richest iron mine in Asia, Shilu occupies a very important position in Zhu Hongyu's heavy industry construction plan.

At any time, steel production is one of the most important data representing a country's national strength.

Zhu Hongyu's personal inspection made Shilu Iron Mine full of surprises.

The manager of Shilu Iron Mine came out to answer.

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Would you like to introduce the development of Shilu Iron Mine to Gu?"

The steward showed a nervous expression, and answered.

"Reporting to His Highness Jian Guo, the current Shilu Iron Mine has more than [-] miners..."
