The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Hongyu is using the Ming army's record of destroying the Jiangning Eight Banners of the Qing court to show his strength, telling Cai Yaozu in front of him and Geng Jingzhong behind him.

Don't underestimate Lao Tzu's strength, you have to clarify your position.

Cai Yaozu was stunned by Zhu Hongyu, his tone turned soft, and he spoke.

"After the prince raises his troops, he will march into the south of the Yangtze River, and he will certainly be able to share a lot of pressure from the north for His Highness."

"It is estimated that troops from Hunan, Jiangxi and other places will also be transferred to Jiangnan and Fujian to participate in the war."

"At that time, Hunan and Jiangxi will be empty, and it will be the time for His Highness to make progress!"

Cai Guangzu was right in saying this, but he only said half of it.

If Zhu Hongyu really took the opportunity to attack Hunan and Jiangxi, the troops originally stationed in Hunan and Jiangxi would definitely be transferred back from Fujian and Jiangnan.

At that time, at least half of the pressure that Geng Jingzhong will face will be shared by Zhu Hongyu!
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"If King Jingnan raises an army, Gu will send troops to respond, and the troops will enter Hunan and Jiangxi!"

"Aid in terms of money and food is not a problem either!"

When Cai Yaozu heard the words, he quickly flattered Zhu Hongyu, showing that Geng Jingzhong was willing to follow Zhu Hongyu's lead.

Although Zhu Hongyu knew that Cai Yaozu was just talking, he might as well be happy!

However, Cai Yaozu continued to speak.

"When my prince's troops enter the south of the Yangtze River, I hope His Royal Highness can send out the Daming Navy to help my prince cut off the Yangtze River and stop the Qing court's southward troops to the north of the Yangtze River."

Geng Jingzhong dared to raise the flag against the Qing at this time, so it was not a reckless decision.

He also thought about it seriously!

If he didn't have certain reliance and assurance, how could he dare to joke about his wealth and life? !
And Geng Jingzhong's reliance is the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

Geng Jingzhong's idea was to take advantage of the fact that the Eight Banners of the Qing Army and the main force of the Green Battalion in the south of the Yangtze River were severely injured by the Ming army, and he entered the south of the Yangtze River by himself.

Then, relying on a Fujian navy in his hands, he cut off the Yangtze River to resist the soldiers and horses of the Qing army going south.

Then cooperate with Zhu Hongyu to carve up the Qing court's territory south of the Yangtze River in order to plan for the future.

Although the Fujian Navy is not the opponent of the Yangtze River Navy, Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fujian Navy, dispatched a large number of backbones to besiege Zhoushan, and was wiped out in Zhoushan by the Ming Army Navy.

Only three or five boats escaped back and forth. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were severely injured!
As a result, the strength of the Fujian Navy will decline even more!

But it also depends on who to compare with!
Compared with Ming's navy, Fujian navy is naturally not ranked high.

Compared with the previous Yangtze River Navy, the Fujian Navy is also a bad brother!

But isn't the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing court already wiped out by Ming Dynasty?
A section of the Yangtze River from Nanjing to the east was plowed back and forth by the Ming Navy, and the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing court was completely finished.

In this way, the power of the Fujian Navy, which could only be regarded as a stinky younger brother, can naturally become stronger.

The reason why Cai Yaozu asked the Daming Navy to help was just for insurance.

Zhu Hongyu thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he agreed.

But he put forward a condition that it is okay for the navy of the Ming army to help in the battle, but Geng Jingzhong wants to give up Xiamen, Anping, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places.

The reason why Zhu Hongyu wants these places is because these places are the foundation of the Zheng family.

He needs to use these places to appease Zheng Chenggong, who is obviously moving closer to him!
Cai Yaozu said that he could not make up his mind and needed to ask Geng Jingzhong for instructions.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

Cai Yaozu continued to speak.

"The lord also hopes that His Highness Jian Guo can provide a batch of firearms, muskets, and more cannons, the better."

With the rise of the Ming army in the past two years, the reputation of the sharp firearms of the Ming Dynasty has spread all over the world.

Geng Jingzhong naturally understood!

He thought that taking advantage of this opportunity, he might be able to get a batch of firearms from Daming.

Zhu Hongyu gave Cai Yaozu a sideways look, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with Cai Yaozu's just evasion, and said.

"If you want firearms, you can!"

"Bring real gold and silver to buy!"

"..."

Of course, it's all about selling, but Zhu Hongyu still knows what can be sold and what can't be sold.

……

Cai Yaozu got the result he wanted, left Guangzhou, and went to Fuzhou by sea.

I am going to ask Geng Jingzhong for instructions to cede Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places to Daming in exchange for the help of the Ming army navy.

Zhu Hongyu finished his meeting with Cai Yaozu and returned to his office.

I sat and meditated for a while, stroked in my mind, and reviewed what happened today.

Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that Geng Jingzhong's rebellion against the Qing will not be repeated.

Once Geng Jingzhong raised the flag, the situation revealed by the Qing court is actually more critical than the situation during the San Francisco Rebellion in history!
After all, it is still gratifying to be loyal to the Qing court, to fight Wu Sangui for the Qing court, and to delay the time for the Qing court to mobilize troops.

Geng Jingzhong still rebelled, and Wu Sangui is likely to wait and see.

However, the current strength of Zhu Hongyu is much stronger than that of Wu Sangui in history!

In terms of war potential alone, Daming now far exceeds Wu Sangui in San Francisco!
Historically, Wu Sangui's territory was also the three southwestern provinces.

However, after experiencing the scourge of wars and military disasters between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the three southwestern provinces are all poor places with vast land and sparse population.

In the three southwestern provinces, it is unknown whether all the populations add up to three or four million!

To put it bluntly, the reason why Wu Sangui was defeated in history was not that his Guanning Army was not strong enough.

Instead, the Qing court used the advantage of national power to use up wars of attrition to kill Wu Sangui!

And what about the territories that Zhu Hongyu occupies now?

The combined population of Guangdong alone is probably larger than that of the entire three southwestern provinces.

And Qiongzhou, Luzon, Dayuan, without exception, are all grain-producing areas.

Coupled with the support of Shanghai Trade's huge profits!

It can be said that what Zhu Hongyu lacks most is money and food!
As long as Zhu Hongyu can take down Hunan and Jiangxi provinces before the Qing court's heavy troops come down from the south, he will give himself a wave of population fattening.

He has the capital to fight a war of attrition with the Qing court!
Of course, Zhu Hongyu would not be stupid, and he would definitely not fight a war of attrition with the Manchus.

At that time, the Qing court will definitely gather heavy troops on the Yangtze River for the war in the south, and the rear will definitely be empty.

If the frontal battlefield is deadlocked, the situation cannot be opened.

Zhu Hongyu will send a navy to attack Tianjin, then walk through the Tonghui River and enter the capital.

Maybe they can make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop, and directly take away the top management of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
No matter how bad it is, the Ming army's attack on Tianjin Wei can also make the Qing army unable to look after each other, creating opportunities for the frontal battlefield to open up the situation.

Of course, Zhu Hongyu is just thinking about it now. Who can say for sure about the development of the overall situation in the world?
After drinking the tea in the cup, Zhu Hongyu ordered.

"Send an order to convene the generals to discuss the matter and prepare to discuss the next step of the war!"

"..."

……

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone else is asking for leave, so I will add more!

It's not too much to ask for a monthly ticket and a reward, hehehe...
