Understanding Wen Anzhi's thoughts, Wan Jun suddenly remembered that he had also felt deep sorrow for the Ming Dynasty.

Now the Emperor Yongli in history actually fell at his feet, and it was he who completely destroyed the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

The army stopped and looked at the blue-gray Guangzhou City Wall from a distance. Historically, the Manchus attacked Guangzhou City and after breaking through, they massacred the civilians in the city. More than 1.5 million people were killed in the entire Guangzhou City.

This time Wanjun did it, and the city of Guangzhou was rescued peacefully. It was not destroyed by the war like Yangzhou.

An indescribable emotion suddenly arose in Wan Jun's heart, and he was relieved with a hint of loneliness. After all, the Ming Dynasty was lost in the long river of history.

Great successes are sometimes missing, great mistakes are like clumsiness. The time traveler passes through the fog of history to prevent disasters that have not happened, but no one will know all this.

Wan Jun turned around, took Zhu Youlang's hand, and said loudly, "The Chinese army has never fought against the Ming Dynasty. Now it only talks about reunification, not surrender. You are a meritorious person who avoided the casualties of the people. It is not a crime."

minister."

Wan Jun said to Zhu Youlang that he had changed from a surrendered lord who had subjugated his country to a man of merit in safeguarding the unification of China. Zhu Youlang was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, "I, I, I really don't know what to say.

"

Historically, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang fled from Wuzhou to Yunnan, and then from Yunnan to Myanmar. Finally, he was captured by Wu Sangui back to Kunming and strangled to death with a bowstring. It is also sad that only Wanjun still knows about all this.

Wan Jun said, "There is no need to say anything. The merits and demerits are determined by the heart."

Zhu Youlang wiped his tears, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, people's hearts. I heard that the head of state married a girl from the Zhu family. After all, we are still a family."

Wan Jun said, "She is the daughter of King Rui, and she has checked the genealogy with King Lu!"

Zhu Youlang said happily, "Okay, okay, then we can have the dignity to meet our ancestors."

Wan Jun chuckled and said, "That's strange to say. Does Ming's face depend on a woman?"

Zhu Youlang's fair face flushed suddenly, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, my aunt's family is one family. The head of state and I, Ming Dynasty, are one family. If we don't distinguish between each other, it doesn't count as losing face, right?"

Wan Jun said noncommittally, "Now that King Gui is free, where does he want to go?"

Zhu Youlang said in disbelief, "What does the head of state mean by letting me go?"

Wan Jun said, "Because you have contributed to peaceful reunification, I will give you the status of a first-class citizen. Since you are a free person, you can go wherever you want in the world."

Zhu Youlang was pleasantly surprised, thinking quickly about where he was going, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had lived half his life, and now he didn't know where to go despite the title of King Gui and Emperor.

Zhu Youlang thought for a long time that he had been held up by an invisible thread for half his life and had never lived according to his own ideas.

"I have no idea!"

Wan Jun said, "King Lu went to Chang'an, how about you go to Chang'an too?"

Zhu Youlang was worried that Wan Jun would go back on his word and let him go to Chang'an because he wanted to put him under house arrest. He quickly said, "The head of state has mercy. I am at odds with King Lu and I don't want to go to Chang'an."

Wan Jun said, "Then decide where you want to go!"

After saying that, he turned around and planned to return to the battleship. Since he did not enter Guangzhou City, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. Wan Jun must head to Taiwan as soon as possible.

Zhu Youlang said quickly from the side, "May I ask where the head of state is going with such a magnificent navy?"

Wan Jun turned his head and said, "What?"

Zhu Youlang said, "I think

Please ask the head of state to take me with you."

Wan Jun asked in confusion, "What are you doing with us? We are going out to fight!"

Zhu Youlang said hurriedly, "I know, I know, I want to follow the head of state and see the scene when our navy defeats the enemy."

Wan Jun asked in confusion, "Why?"

Zhu Youlang said, "I have been on the run for half my life. I fled from Hunan to Guangxi, and from Wuzhou to Guangzhou. I have had enough. I want to win once. I want to watch the army win and destroy the enemy!"

Wan Jun thought to himself, you were planning to flee to Burma. You won’t get any bad luck by taking you with you, but it’s not a bad idea to fulfill Zhu Youlang’s little wish.

It’s okay, but you must abide by military discipline.”

Zhu Youlang said happily, "I understand!"

Returning to the battleship, Wan Jun allowed Zhu Youlang to look around and took the others to the command room.

The fleet replenished supplies for half a day and set sail early the next morning.

Sail out from the Pearl River Estuary and take advantage of the wind in the strait towards Penghu.

After the fleet arrived in Penghu, it turned to move toward Taiwan Island in the southeast. The fleet traveled for half a day, and in the evening, it finally saw the coastline of Taiwan Island emerging.

As the fleet moved forward, the dark green Taiwan Island gradually revealed its true appearance. The fleet no longer approached Taiwan Island, but turned southward away from the coastline.

This was the second time Wan Jun took this route, and he was very familiar with it. Most of the others were on the ferry for the first time and they were all very excited. They kept saying, "I didn't expect that there is such a big world overseas."

Cui Ziyi said at the side, "What's this? When we first became ancestors, there was Zheng He's large fleet, which once traveled thousands of miles away. There was a big island in the west of the West Sea near the red-haired people. There was a unicorn on the island.

, with necks more than ten meters long, and there are big beasts with hair all over their necks, and there are many savages whose whole bodies are as black as carbon!"

Zhu Youlang answered from the side, "I have seen the savage you mentioned, and his complexion is as black as ink."

Everyone asked, "Why is the savage so dark?"

Zhu Youlang said, "In the Tang Dynasty, these savages came across the sea. They were called Kunlun slaves at that time. They were these black-skinned people who were born so black."

Wan Jun heard this interestingly, so he stood aside and listened to a few people talking.

Soon an alarm sounded from the mast, and soon someone came to report that several ships were coming from a distance.

Getting closer, everyone could clearly see the incoming ship, with the red flag of Great China flying on the mast.

Soon a small boat approached, and the people on the boat clasped their fists and gestured to everyone, "Zheng Mingyan has been waiting for you for a long time!"

When Wan Jun saw that the person coming was Zheng Chenggong, he stepped forward and leaned out and said, "You're fine, Cheng Chenggong."

Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up, "Führer, you are here in person."

As he said this, he leaned over the ladder. Zheng Chenggong jumped onto the ladder and walked over in a few steps. "I only heard that some big shots came with the fleet, but I didn't know that it was the head of state who came in person."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "I know you have long been thinking of dealing with the Spaniards on Luzon Island, so I came here specially to go with you this time."

Zheng Chenggong said, "Ming Yan is flattered. The sea route is dangerous, so the head of state should not put himself in danger."

Wan Jun said, "It doesn't matter. The army is about to go to Luzon. How much do you know about the Spaniards' intelligence?"

Zheng Chenggong said, "According to the Han people who fled back, the Spanish did not have many troops. There are two most important strongholds. One is called Manila City in the north of Luzon Island, and the other is called Cebu in the southern Luzon Islands.

city

, as for the specific place, we don’t know.”

Wan Jun said, "The so-called military strategy is to 'advance closely and fight quickly'. Now that our army is gathering, we should not delay too much. We will rest overnight at Taiyuan Port tonight and set off south tomorrow."

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "Don't worry, head of state. If we had known that the army would go south to fight the Hongyi, everything would have been prepared."

The fleet soon moved south to a bay, which was the city of Chikan where the Dutch had retreated. The city of Jelanja on the outer islands had already been transformed into a defensive fort. In the last light and shadow of the night, all the troops could see it.

There was a Chinese army flag swaying in the night wind.

The leading fleet sailed into the bay, and a large number of subsequent ships had to stay outside in order to avoid running aground and running aground on rocks.

The warships lowered their white sails, and densely packed warships docked in the bay. Ten thousand troops followed Zheng Chenggong to the market town on the shore.

In the store, Guo Huaiyi was waiting at the door. Wan Jun saw an old acquaintance standing next to Guo Huaiyi, who turned out to be Xie Xiaoni, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Wan Jun was shocked, "Xiao Ni, why are you here?"

Xie Xiaoni laughed and said, "Why, can't I come to the place where brother laid down?"

Wan Jun smiled and said, "I can come if I can, but I didn't expect it."

"Didn't expect me to be here?"

"Yeah, it feels weird."

Xie Xiaoni was overjoyed, "Of course, the three greatest joys in life are meeting old friends in a foreign land when you are nominated for the gold medal."

Even in modern times where carriages and horses are developed, it is a great surprise to meet an old friend in a strange place. What's more, when carriages and horses are inconvenient, Wan Jun said, "What are you doing in Taiwan?"

Xie Xiaoni said, "It's a long story. I originally wanted to come to discuss maritime trade with the Zheng family, but due to delays, I stayed here for a while."

Guo Huaiyi stretched out his hand to guide, "Come on, come on, let's talk in the house!"

Just when Wan Jun entered the room, he saw Guo Huaiyi's hand gently holding Xie Xiaoni's arm. Under Wan Jun's surprised gaze, Xie Xiaoni's face turned slightly red, although she smiled shyly.

But he didn't refuse.

Wan Jun was shocked, and until he sat down, he was still thinking about the relationship between this little girl and Guo Huaiyi.

After everyone sat down, Wan Jun saw Guo Huaiyi and Xie Xiaoni sitting together. Xie Xiaoni said, "I heard that I was going to fight the Hongyi people, but I didn't expect that I would go in person."

Wan Jun nodded and said, "Hong, the Europeans are difficult to deal with. I feel more confident when I come here in person."

Zheng Chenggong said, "The army will go out for battle tomorrow, so you should go and rest early!"

After the others left, Wan Jun said to Zheng Chenggong and others, "We have received top-secret information from the Portuguese. The Dutch are unwilling to fail and have united seven countries to send troops to form a joint fleet to invade China."

Zheng Chenggong sneered, "These red-haired devils are outrageous. I, the great central country of China, don't bother them, but they dare to come and provoke them."

Wan Jun said, "I'm a little worried."

Zheng Chenggong and Xie Xiaoni asked at the same time, "What are you worried about?"

Wan Jun reached out and put the tea bowl on the table, "I know better than you, so I'm worried."

"It has been more than a hundred years since the rise of the Europeans. They discovered and controlled the Americas to the west, India and Malacca to the east, and now they have reached the South China Sea of ​​China. This is just the end of their power."
