The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 335 Battle Report
Zhu Hongyu pretended not to understand, but said with a smile.

"Does Governor Luobei have any idea to work for Gu?"

"You lost Batavia, the entire Far East market and colonies. If you return to Europe, the 17-member board of directors will never let you go easily."

"There is a ninety-nine percent chance that all your property will be confiscated and you will be sent to the gallows."

"Even your family, including lovely Bella, will be implicated."

"Even if you are not implicated, once you lose all your property, can you imagine what Bella's life will be like in the future?"

"Go begging on the street? Be someone's mistress? Or find a farm to milk the cows and feed the pigs?"

"Why, does Governor Robbie want to take Bena and his family back to Europe to suffer?"

Zhu Hongyu knew that it was actually very simple to persuade a daughter slave.

Just start with his daughter!
Luo Bei's face was ugly, but he had to admit that Zhu Hongyu's words made sense.

Just when Luo Bei was hesitating, Zhu Hongyu continued to speak.

"Staying in Nanyang, being an orphan, and working for Daming may be a better choice for the governor!"

"As long as you can make achievements that satisfy Gu, gold and silver, official positions, and even noble titles..."

"What the 17-member board of directors can give you, I can only give you!"

"What the 17-member board of directors can't give you, the orphan can too!"

While speaking, Zhu Hongyu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and his voice conveyed a strong sense of oppression.

Luo Bei opened his mouth to say something, but Zhu Hongyu interrupted.

"Don't rush to give Gu an answer!"

"Governor Luobei can think about it carefully, and it will not be too late to give Gu an answer in a few days!"

"Before that, Bella should stay with Gu, Gu will take good care of her."

I silently added in my heart, on the bed!
Luo Bei showed a tangled expression and left, saying that he had to think about it, but Zhu Hongyu didn't urge him, instead he showed a confident smile.

He could tell that Luo Bei was moved!

Knowing that this matter is [-]% done!
In fact, as long as the person concerned does not refuse on the spot, there is a high probability that such a digging will succeed.

What to say to think about it, in fact, it is already heart-wrenching.

The so-called consideration is just trying to persuade oneself to betray.

Seeing Luo Bei's leaving back, Zhu Hongyu ordered someone to serve tea.

After taking a sip of the tea, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

The reason why Zhu Hongyu wanted to win Luo Bei to work for him was not because of Bei Na, a woman.

It's just a woman, no matter how beautiful she is, no matter how dimpled her chest is, it's not worth Zhu Hongyu's effort to waste so much for her!
Zhu Hongyu attracted Luo Bei more because of the value of Luo Bei himself!
To be appointed as the governor of Batavia by the Dutch East India Company, Lobe's own ability must not be bad.

In addition, he has been the governor of Batavia for so many years.

Understanding of various aspects of Batavia, familiarity with the surrounding indigenous forces, and control of the situation in Southeast Asia...

He is worthy of Zhu Hongyu's win over!
……

After Luo Bei left, Zhu Hongyu continued to handle official duties.

Not long after, Wang Ruxian will report again.

"Your Highness, there is a battle report from the mainland!"

As he spoke, he handed a battle report to Zhu Hongyu's desk.

Zhu Hongyu opened the battle report casually, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

The battle report made a simple summary of the wars that took place in the mainland during this period!

First of all, Shang Kexi personally led the main force of the Qing army to attack Macau, and the Ming army retreated according to the order, and Macau fell subsequently.

Then, the tragic Macau Massacre occurred.

Fortunately, most of those killed were Portuguese living in Macau.

Not many Han Chinese were killed!
Then there was the naval battle in Hong Kong, where the Qing-Dutch coalition forces were defeated, and Kui Yi, the former governor-general, became a prisoner of Ming Dynasty.

Shang Kexi saw that there was no hope of capturing Hong Kong, so he dispatched troops to kill Leizhou Peninsula.

Under the onslaught of the Qing army, the Ming army in Leizhou struggled for several days, but retreated helplessly. Leizhou fell and fell into the hands of the Qing army again.

The Leizhou Peninsula fell immediately!

Shang Kexi wanted to cross the Qiongzhou Strait to attack Qiongzhou, but was taught to be a man again by the navy of the Ming army, and was forced to give up this idea.

Then he led his troops to the north, killed the Nan'ao area, and began to wipe out the anti-Qing rebels entrenched in Nan'ao.

Qiu Hui and others struggled to support them, but due to the great disparity in strength, they could only withdraw from the mainland, fled to the coastal islands, and continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Geng Jingzhong also took advantage of this opportunity to mobilize troops to storm Xiamen.

Zheng Jun in Xiamen couldn't support it, so he had no choice but to retreat to Kinmen Island.

With the large-scale counterattack of the Qing court, the Ming army lost Macau, Leizhou, Nan'ao, Xiamen and other places one after another.

The Ming army was on the coast of the Pearl River Estuary, leaving only Hong Kong Island.

There is only one Kinmen Island left on the coast of Fujian.

There is also the Zhoushan Islands off the coast of Zhejiang!
The only good news is the victory of the small naval battle off Hong Kong.

At first glance, the balance of victory and defeat in the mainland war is tilting towards the Qing court again...

The great situation that the Ming army fought hard last year was ruined in one day.

This made Zhu Hongyu's complexion look better!

But there is no way to do this. The strength of the Qing court lies there. At this time, there is indeed a big gap between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing court.

Coupled with the fact that the Ming army focused its energy on Nanyang, it can only be said that it is normal for the mainland to occupy such a situation.

Suddenly, the seriousness on Zhu Hongyu's face disappeared, replaced by a smug look.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"King Jin is worthy of being a famous general in the world, and he lives up to the high expectations of him!"

Zhu Hongyu saw the news that Li Dingguo wiped out [-] Zhenghuang Banner Manchurian soldiers in Shan State, beheaded the Manchurian general Ai Xing'a, and repelled the invasion of Wu Sangui's troops.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but slapped his legs and laughed, feeling relieved.

"Hahahaha!"

"Two thousand Zhenghuang Banner Manchurian soldiers were wiped out, and the Qing court will die of heartache!"

If Li Dingguo wiped out only two thousand green camps, Zhu Hongyu would not be so happy at all.

But what he wiped out were [-] Zhenghuang Banner Manchurian soldiers!

This is definitely going to shake the world!
You must know that the total number of Manchurian soldiers in this era is no more than [-] to [-].

The total number of Manchurian males registered in the Eight Banners of the Qing court is no more than 20!

This is still a number that does not distinguish between young and old, including infants from swaddling babies to pale hair.

Two thousand were killed by Li Dingguo in the first battle, enough for the Qing court to be so heartbroken that they couldn't breathe!
At this moment, a notification sound came from outside.

"Your Highness, King Yanping is seeking an audience outside!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Bring people in!"

Not long after, Zheng Chenggong was brought in front of Zhu Hongyu. As soon as the two met, Zheng Chenggong spoke.

"Your Highness, the old minister has received a battle report. The situation in the mainland is tight. Maybe it's time for us to teach!"

Zhu Hongyu received the battle report, and Zheng Chenggong received the battle report. In fact, it was a matter of front and back.

Because the ship that sent the battle report was basically the same ship!

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Old Taishan sit first!"

Wang Ruxian helped Zheng Chenggong move a chair, Zheng Chenggong patted his buttocks and sat down, his face was full of anxiety visible to the naked eye.

But Zhu Hongyu said without haste.

"Old Taishan doesn't need to be so anxious!"

Zheng Chenggong said.

"Xiamen is lost, how can the old minister not be in a hurry!"
