The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

The whole world is like a precision machine!

Every part is closely related to each other, and it affects the whole body.

Different actions and decisions made by various forces may lead to changes in the overall situation of the world.

If Zhu Hongyu wanted to grasp the overall situation of the world, he had to look at the overall situation!

……

Cai Yaozu put down the book in his hand, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

The fragrant tea entered the mouth, but the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

It has been several days since he arrived in Guangzhou again, and during this time, he has been sending a letter of greeting to Zhu Hongyu's mansion almost every day.

But there has been no answer!

Every time he went to ask for a meeting, the result he got was that His Highness Jian Guo was busy with government affairs, and he waited patiently.

Cai Yaozu was not stupid, he knew that he was being manipulated.

But if you want something from others, you can only choose to bow your head and endure it!
The war in Jiangxi was tense, Geng Jingzhong was under a lot of pressure, and the pressure on him was also very high.

Blowing out the oil lamp on the table, he got ready for bed.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Cai Yaozu put on his clothes and got up, opened the door, and asked.

"What's the matter? Why are you looking for me at night?"

Standing at the door was a Ming official wearing an official robe. He looked very young, with blue stubble on his chin.

Looking at Cai Yaozu, the Ming official said.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo will see Mr. Cai tomorrow morning, sir, make preparations in advance!"

Cai Yaozu's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he also heaved a sigh of relief.

No wonder he waited so long!

Zhu Hongyu was finally going to meet him.

……

The next day, just after dawn, Cai Yaozu got up from the bed.

After washing and putting on his clothes, he sat at the table and waited.

While waiting, he was thinking about what Zhu Hongyu would say to himself when he summoned him today.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Cai Yaozu was notified again and went to the Jianguo Mansion to wait for an audience.

After arriving at Jian Guo's mansion, he waited for about half an hour before being received by Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu met Cai Yaozu in his office, and ordered the eunuch who was waiting on the side to serve tea.

Then he spoke.

"Mr. Cai has repeatedly asked to see Gu, what's the matter?"

Zhu Hongyu held the teacup and gestured it.

Cai Yaozu saluted very respectfully, and then spoke.

"Currently, King Jingnan is concentrating his forces on storming Jiangnan, which is an important financial and taxation center for the Qing court!"

"And the Qing army gathered a large number of troops to defend the front line of Jiangxi!"

"It may threaten King Jingnan's retreat at any time!"

"If King Jingnan's rear falls, then the battle situation in the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably be ruined. If the Qing army presses down from the north."

"I believe it should not be a good thing for Daming!"

"I also ask His Highness Jian Guo to send troops to Jiangxi to share the pressure of the Qing court for King Jingnan."

"As long as His Highness Jian Guo sends troops, King Jingnan is willing to offer 5 taels of silver as military funds!"

Cai Yaozu knew that Zhu Hongyu was planning for Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places.

But negotiations, asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money when they land!

He couldn't just show his hole cards at the beginning!
This 5 taels of silver is Cai Yaozu knocking on the door to ask for directions!

Of course, as long as Zhu Hongyu is willing to send troops to Jiangxi, it is not impossible to discuss the land cession.

Zhu Hongyu chuckled and said.

"5 million taels of silver?"

"What about sending the beggar?"

"The 5 taels is not even a fraction of the military expenses required for the lonely deployment of troops to the north."

Zhu Hongyu treated the army really well.

He has such a strong control over the army. Although ideological education also accounts for a certain proportion, material security is the most fundamental.

Glancing at Zheng Chenggong who was in the first position, Zhu Hongyu turned his gaze back to Cai Yaozu and said.

"It's just money!"

"The most indispensable silver coin!"

These words... are very Versailles!

"Furthermore, now that the main force of our Ming army is fighting on the battlefield in Guangxi, we will not be able to use our troops against Jiangxi!"

Zhu Hongyu continued to make gestures.

Cai Yaozu continued to speak.

"As long as His Highness is willing to send troops to rescue, everything is easy to talk about!"

Only then did Zhu Hongyu let go and said.

"Although Gu is now unable to conquer Jiangxi in the north, he can act as a middleman and connect King Jingnan and King Yanping."

"As long as King Jingnan can afford the price, King Yanping may send troops to help!"

Zheng Chenggong stood up in a timely manner and said.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the veteran can send troops, but I just don't know if King Jingnan can afford the price!"

Zheng Chenggong had a smile on his face, but he looked like an old fox.

Hearing this, Cai Yaozu knew that the meat show was coming, he looked at Zheng Chenggong, and said.

"King Jingnan is facing enormous pressure now, please ask King Yanping to help!"

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile.

"Send troops, it's not impossible, it's not a big deal!"

"But this king's ancestral home is in Yanping, and most of the soldiers under his command are from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and my Zheng family also has a lot of business in Xiamen..."

"These places can't be taken back, and this king can't explain to the soldiers!"

"There is no explanation, the morale of the army is naturally low, and the morale is low. How can we send troops? How can we go to war?"

Cai Yaozu's face darkened, but he still spoke.

"This... I'm afraid it won't work!"

"The cession of several state capitals at once is unacceptable to King Jingnan."

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong was not angry, but spoke.

"I heard that King Jingnan wants to rebuild the Fujian Navy. I have a lot of spare warships here. Does King Jingnan have any intention to buy them?"

Hearing this, Cai Xuexi's heart was moved instantly.

Geng Jingzhong wanted to realize his plan to block Jiangnan and Jiangbei. The biggest question was whether the incomplete Fujian navy in his hands could stop the Qing army from going south.

Now that Zheng Chenggong is willing to sell warships to them, how can Cai Yaozu not be excited?
If a batch of warships can be obtained, then the shortcomings of the Jingnan Army will be made up for!
However, before Cai Yaozu was happy, Zheng Chenggong continued to speak.

"However, if King Jingnan wants warships!"

"The places above are not enough!"

"This king wants another Longyan state!"

"Haha, it's not like this king is aiming at nothing."

"If this king wants to send troops to Jiangxi, he can't go around Longyan Prefecture."

Cai Yaozu took a deep breath, but still spoke.

"I can't make up my mind about this!"

"We still need to report to King Jingnan!"

Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen, Yanping, plus Longyan Prefecture, almost half of Fujian is gone!

Don't talk about Cai Yaozu about this matter, even if Geng Jingzhong is here in person, he has to think carefully before making up his mind.

Zhu Hongyu clapped his hands and said.

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry!"

"Isn't King Jingnan's war in Jiangnan going smoothly now?"

"The matter in Jiangxi is of course a trivial matter, it's just scabies!"

Cai Yaozu: "..."

What the hell, old hermaphrodite!

Even Zheng Chenggong's mouth twitched.

Cai Xuexi left Guangzhou and hurried to Fuzhou.

I am going to report to Geng Jingzhong about the things in Guangzhou!

……

The Ming army continues to advance towards Guilin!

Local gentry and landlords continued to revolt in response to the Ming army.

Even the chieftains from those places came to surrender one after another.

In this process, the jungle and mountain combat troops of the Ming army played a considerable role.

Many Qing troops who wanted to rely on the terrain, mountains, and dense forests to resist stubbornly were wiped out in large numbers.

These Ming army soldiers who were born in Nanyang natives showed quite impressive combat effectiveness in the dense mountains and dense forests.
