It's important to say it's important, it's important to say it's not important, but that's really the case.
He is just a flag, representing the Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy, used to unite people's hearts, nothing more!
However, all the forces in the world who were resisting the Qing Dynasty really just couldn’t do without such a banner!
However, now that Yongli is missing and his life or death is unknown, it is an unchangeable fact!
Although many anti-Qing forces regard Yongli as their orthodoxy, but Yongli is gone, the resistance to the Qing Dynasty must continue.
The most important thing right now is to erect another big flag to unite people's hearts.
Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and restored the legacy of China. The Ming Dynasty has survived for more than 270 years, and the hearts of the people are still there.
Countless people in the Central Plains still regard the Ming Dynasty as the orthodoxy of the world, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the enemy of the Tatars.
At this time, the identity of the Ming Dynasty clan is very valuable!
Under such circumstances, no one from all parties, including Zheng Chenggong, dared to take action against the clan.
Morally untenable!
Although it seems that morality is of no use, the Chinese people always pay attention to what they say and do things with integrity. If a person wants to achieve something, it is really impossible if he does not have morality!
Zheng Chenggong nodded and said.
"What you said makes sense!"
"If there is definite news of the emperor's death, Zhu Hongyu's clan identity will become a rare commodity!"
Seeing that he had persuaded Zheng Chenggong, Chen Yonghua breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke.
"The country's surname is Ye. The students believe that we should send manpower to the southwest and to Burma and Siam to search for information about the emperor."
"I think the emperor's holy chariot must have fled south to Burma, Siam and other places, or else he is hiding in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou."
"The former is more likely!"
"Whether the Emperor is alive or dead now, we should know in our hearts!"
Zheng Chenggong nodded, his face showing deep fatigue.
Zheng Chenggong was worried about the increasingly difficult anti-Qing cause!
"Oh, how could the good Ming Dynasty become like this?"
"Mountains and rivers are lost, mountains and rivers are really lost!"
"Are we, the Han people, going to be turned into slaves and slaves under the iron heel of the Tatars, and continue to be fourth-class people?!"
"If Emperor Taizu has a spirit in heaven, please open your eyes and tell me what to do!"
Three days later, the 5,000 Zheng troops who had completed their reorganization boarded the ship, crossed the Bashi Strait, and headed for Luzon!
The twelve-pointed sun and moon flag belonging to the Ming Dynasty is hunting in the wind on a tall mast!
This day is June 17, 1661 in the Western calendar!
…
Manila, Governor's Palace!
In the early morning, the weather was slightly cooler.
After Governor Barossa finished reviewing a report on the replacement of garrison ordnance, he took a sip of the coffee at hand, but couldn't help but frown.
But it’s not because of the bitterness of coffee!
But as the war approaches, reports requesting funding have been coming in from below in recent days!
The amount is getting bigger each time, either for army pay, or for the replacement of ordnance, or for the renovation of barracks, or for training expenses...
The cost of raising an army of the same number has increased several times compared to before!
It's not that Barossa is reluctant to spend money. The money belongs to the Governor's Palace. What can Barossa be reluctant to part with?
Besides, only if the money is spent in a clever way, he can take advantage of it to make money!
However, what worries Barossa is that after the money has been spent, many people, both young and old, have been profited from by the governor's palace and the church's gang of crooks.
What is the current combat effectiveness of the army?
Barossa doesn’t know!
Just as Barossa was thinking about this, the office door was knocked open.
A guard from the Governor's Mansion strode in and opened his mouth to report.
"Your Majesty the Governor, there is news from the dock that the fleet of galleons is coming!"
Barossa stood up from his chair with a look of surprise on his face.
…
Manila port!
The golden sunlight spreads across the entire sea.
The sparkling sea surface reflects the golden light, which is extremely dazzling.
As the morning breeze blew, some of the dense morning fog on the sea dispersed.
The first thing that appeared in everyone's sight was a white sail.
Looking from a distance, the small sail expanded little by little, and the black hull also appeared in the field of vision.
The boat is tall and tall, like a mountain walking on the sea.
There are dense attachments and traces left by wind and waves on the waterline, and there are dense gun windows on the side.
However, the gun window is closed now!
The sailors on the deck stuck their heads out and kept making strange screams of excitement at the location of the port.
They are so far across the ocean, they know the beauty of the land very well!
On the land, there are fresh food, mellow wine, shiny gold and silver, and most importantly, girls who let them spend a little money to vent their animal desires!
A fleet of galleons spanning the entire Pacific Ocean entered the port, and three Galenic galleons docked at the shore.
The sailors happily poured down the gangway, or simply jumped into the sea and swam towards the dock.
Osado, the commander of the fleet, stood on the bulwark, looked at the gaffeful sailors, shrugged and said to his deputy.
"Karal, I think our boys need a place to recuperate and vent after three or four months of ocean sailing!"
Carlal nodded and said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I think I have to find a woman to experience her tenderness!"
As Carral said, he wanted to turn around and leave, and get off the boat to have some fun.
Osado, however, grabbed Carlal's neck and said with a proud face.
"Dear Carlal, I have some very sad news for you!"
"Your commander, His Excellency Osado, has decided to let you stay behind the fleet. He is going to get off the ship to have some fun!"
Karar said with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Your Majesty Commander, please tell me that this is not true!"
Osado let out a hearty laugh and said.
"Hahaha, it's true!"
"Who called me the commander of the fleet?"
The corners of Carral's mouth twitched, but he was not angry.
Having worked with Osado for such a long time, he already knew what kind of character Osado was!
However, just as Osado turned around with a proud face and prepared to disembark, a soldier ran from the direction of the dock.
Then Osado couldn't laugh anymore.
"Your Majesty Commander, Lord Governor, please go to the Governor's Mansion now!"
The messenger said so.
…
At about the same time, the fleet carrying the five thousand Zheng Army soldiers also docked at the simple dock in Lingayen.
Zhu Hongyu went to the dock to greet him personally!
The general of the Zheng army and the admiral of the army, Xiao Maxin, were the first to disembark from the boat. Zhu Hongyu stepped forward and spoke.
"I have admired the name of Admiral Ma for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was really extraordinary!"
"With his heroic spirit, he is worthy of being the loyal general of the country's surnamed master!"
Ma Xin also laughed loudly and said.
"Don't dare!"
"The Governor is a young and heroic man who leads troops to rebel against the red-haired tyranny. He wins many battles and kills countless enemies in battle. He is a true hero!"
"As worthy of being the queen of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I will admire you!"
The two greeted each other warmly, and Zhu Hongyu ordered Zheng Jun to arrange a feast of wine and meat for the landing Zheng Jun.
