"If I guess correctly, Mr. Chen is here to conquer the secret method of the bastion?"
Chen Yonghua looked embarrassed, but he still spoke.
"What the general said is true!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.
"I can teach you how to conquer the bastion, but with all due respect, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it!"
The reason why the Liberation Army was able to use tunnels to attack the city was because many of the Liberation Army soldiers were miners and were very familiar with digging tunnels.
Even if there is a moat above their heads, they can safely dig tunnels under the city wall!
Most of Sergeant Zheng's soldiers were sailors, so naturally they were all experienced in naval battles, but when it came to digging tunnels, they were really dumb.
In a hurry, where did Zheng Chenggong go to find so many miners who knew how to dig tunnels?
Zhu Hongyu directly explained the principles of hole attack, and also explained the reason why Zheng Chenggong was afraid that it would not be used.
Chen Yonghua touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Because he knew what Zhu Hongyu said was reasonable, he immediately spoke.
"I wonder if I can borrow some people who are proficient in cave siege from the general to help Mr. Guoxing conquer the city of Relanja?"
"I can assure you, General, that Mr. Guo Xing will do his best to preserve these men. Except for digging tunnels, he will never let them come forward to fight!"
"Of course, if there are casualties, Mr. Guo Xing will definitely not let the blood of our brothers be in vain!"
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and then spoke.
"Both Mr. Guo and I fought to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, to drive out the Tartars and restore the great cause of China."
"We should help each other!"
Zhu Hongyu said these two words to each other very seriously.
Chen Yonghua's mouth twitched and he spoke.
"What does the General want?"
Zhu Hongyu said with a slight smile.
"How about two merchant ships and their corresponding sailors?"
When Chen Yonghua heard this, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He thought Zhu Hongyu was going to put forward such harsh conditions, but it turned out to be just that.
That’s okay!
The Zheng family has been running rampant in East Asia for decades, and has conquered all the maritime forces in East Asia. This is all due to the Zheng family's surface power.
If the Zheng family lacks anything, it will never lack a boat!
There are only two merchant ships. Zhu Hongyu has not yet specified the tonnage of the ships. He does not need to report this matter to Zheng Chenggong, he can make the decision himself!
"It's all in accordance with the general's request. I don't think I will refuse such a request!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.
“This is the best!”
Suddenly, Zhu Hongyu remembered something and spoke.
"It's already April now. Wait until June or July this year when the Spanish galleons arrive in Manila!"
"Bring reinforcements to Manila, and the Spanish will most likely launch a counterattack against the Liberation Army!"
"I think that by then, Mr. Guo Xing should also have defeated the city of Relanja!"
"How about you and I cooperate to capture Manila? The Liberation Army will be responsible for destroying the Spanish army and the bastion forts that attack Manila. The Guo Xingye will be responsible for destroying the Spanish fleet."
"At that time, we will be able to unite Luzon and the generals, and then gather the power of the entire Nanyang to counterattack the mainland in one fell swoop, drive out the Tartars, and restore China!"
"Recreate the great achievements of Emperor Taizu!"
Chen Yonghua seemed to be a little moved, but he did not make a rash decision, but spoke.
"Reporting to the general, I can't make a decision at this time. I need to report it to Mr. Guo Xing and let Mr. Guo Xing make a decision."
"Besides, there is plenty of time for this matter, so there is no need to rush!"
"I believe Mr. Guo Xing will consider it carefully!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded calmly, without showing any dissatisfaction, but spoke.
"good."
Zhu Hongyu was not dissatisfied with Chen Yonghua's evasion.
Because he knew that Chen Yonghua had no say in this matter.
When faced with Zheng Chenggong's request for help, Zhu Hongyu could directly agree without consulting with other people. This was because he was the commander-in-chief of the Liberation Army, and he had the final say over the entire Liberation Army.
However, if Chen Yonghua simply agreed to his request for help now, then Zheng Chenggong would probably have to deal with him because of his unauthorized use of power.
Chen Yonghua said.
"I wonder when the general can arrange for the manpower to attack the city in caves and come with me to help with the battle?"
Zhu Hongyu glanced sideways at Chen Yonghua and said calmly.
"It's not urgent!"
Chen Yonghua: "..."
The corner of Chen Yonghua's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Zhu Hongyu had such a strong desire for revenge.
However, before Chen Yonghua could say anything, Zhu Hongyu immediately spoke.
"In three days, there will be the opening ceremony of the Liberation Army military government and my general's wedding. Mr. Chen might as well drink the wedding wine before leaving!"
"Besides, it takes time for me, the general, to select and arrange manpower!"
"Mr. Chen, you can't wait for three to five days, right?"
Chen Yonghua breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smile on his face, and said.
"All follow the general's orders!"
After saying this, Chen Yonghua asked curiously.
"I wonder how old the general is this year? Why are you planning to get married now?"
The reason why Chen Yonghua asked this was because ancient people got married early, and there were many people who got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and some even earlier.
Although Zhu Hongyu is young, he looks to be around 20 years old. It is a bit late to get married now.
Zhu Hongyu said.
"I was born in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. According to ancient etiquette, I should be crowned next year!"
"As for the marriage, it's because my father died at sea two years ago and I became an orphan. Later, I was abducted by Red Hair and taken to the mine to work as a miner. Naturally, the marriage was not held."
Chen Yonghua asked again.
"Whose daughter did the general marry?"
Zhu Hongyu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said.
"One is my childhood sweetheart who grew up with me, the girl next door. Now his brother is my most trusted general."
"The other is the daughter of the chief of the mountain people tribe in the mountains. Years ago, I led people to resist the Spanish encirclement and suppression in the mountains. Fortunately, with the help of the mountain people in the mountains, we were able to annihilate all the Spaniards who entered the mountains."
"In order to thank the mountain people for their help, I agreed to marry the daughter of the mountain people's chief, and we will have a marriage."
"It's natural to do it. No, my marriage was held together with the opening ceremony of the military government!"
Chen Yonghua finally figured out that most of Zhu Hongyu's wives were political marriages.
Suddenly, he thought that Mr. Guo had several daughters who had not left the government.
The appearance and age are also suitable...
His face showed contemplation, and he was going to talk to Mr. Guo Xing about this matter after returning to Taiyuan Island.
The two continued to chat. Chen Yonghua wanted to have a relationship with Zhu Hongyu, and Zhu Hongyu was also very interested in Chen Jinnan, who would become a famous person in later generations.
The two of them were chatting quite speculatively!
Chen Yonghua seemed to suddenly remember something and asked.
"I wonder why the general shaved his head?"
Zhu Hongyu replied.
"Separate the will!"
"I once made a promise in person in front of the officials of the military government: I would never return to the Central Plains, and I would never grow my hair!"
