"Your Majesty Commander, there is absolutely no way I will allow you to attack Chinese civilians now!"
"I can't risk the lives of the tens of thousands of Spaniards who have settled in Luzon, do you understand me?!"
"But if you want to do anything after the war, I won't stop you!"
Seeing that the governor had a tough attitude and had no intention of giving in, Osado could only nod in agreement.
Barossa said.
"Now let's discuss the strategy. Once the soldiers are ready, we will immediately launch troops to eliminate the rebels!"
Osado nodded and agreed.
On that day, Governor Barossa of Manila summoned all senior Spanish officials in Manila to discuss the matter of sending troops.
…
Weiyuan City!
On the day Weiyuan City was completed, the military government moved all the main government offices, official warehouses, etc. into Weiyuan City.
Start preparing for war!
On the day that the five thousand Zheng troops arrived in Luzon, they were warmly entertained by Zhu Hongyu with good wine and meat.
The next day, Zhu Hongyu allocated 10,000 silver dollars to Ma Xin, the general of the Zheng army, and asked Ma Xin to use it to reward the soldiers and boost military morale.
Zhu Hongyu once thought about simply paying Zheng Jun himself, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
Because it’s inappropriate to do this!
Zhu Hongyu came forward to give money to Zheng Jun. What did Zheng Chenggong think?
Mud, I'm kind enough to send troops to help you, but you're poaching me?!
Is this something people do?
On this day, Zhu Hongyu invited Ma Xin to a banquet as usual. The two had a great conversation at the wine table and encouraged each other to drink.
Coupled with Zhu Hongyu's generous spending during this period, the relationship between the two has reached the point where they can call themselves brothers.
As the saying goes, when it comes to money, there are no friends that are difficult to get along with.
Just as the two were talking and laughing loudly, a secretary from the Liberation Army came in from outside. The secretary leaned in Zhu Hongyu's ear. As soon as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhu Hongyu.
"Brother Ma is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
The secretary nodded after hearing this, and then spoke.
"General, Mr. Chen Yonghua Chen is here again!"
"I'm waiting for your summons outside now!"
Zhu Hongyu looked thoughtful, why is Chen Yonghua here again?
But he didn't hesitate and spoke.
"Invite Mr. Chen in!"
Not long after, Chen Yonghua was brought to Zhu Hongyu and Ma Xin.
"Why are you here, sir? Is there something wrong?"
Zhu Hongyu asked directly.
Chen Yonghua took several deep breaths and then spoke.
"I've met the Grand Governor!"
"The student came here under the order of Master Guoxing this time!"
When Ma Xin heard this, a trace of anxiety appeared on his face and he asked.
"Did something happen to the senior officer?"
Chen Yonghua shook his head at Ma Xin to indicate that it was okay, and then spoke to Zhu Hongyu.
"I have received news about the Emperor. After the Battle of Mopanshan, you were brought into Myanmar by Ma Jixiang and other subordinates, and now you have been detained by King Pingdali of Myanmar!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is leading his troops to attack Burma, hoping to welcome back the emperor, but the soldiers are not accustomed to the climate of Burma, and the war situation is somewhat unfavorable!"
"The King of Jin once again asked for help from Mr. Guo Xing. After receiving the news, Mr. Guo Xing was already preparing for war and preparing for the invasion of Burma."
Zhu Hongyu had a shocked look on his face when he heard this, but it was not because of Yongli's detention.
He was quite familiar with the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Emperor Yongli went into exile in Burma and was detained, and Li Dingguo sent troops to conquer Burma. He generally understood these things.
What really surprised him was Zheng Chenggong's reaction!
After hearing Li Dingguo's request for help, Zheng Chenggong sent troops to prepare for reinforcements without any hesitation.
You know, the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo is not good!
The person who did this did not have the demeanor of a little expert in party fighting at all!
But just thinking about it for a moment, Zhu Hongyu knew exactly why.
Although Zheng Chenggong likes to engage in party disputes, that happened in the past!
Now that the overall situation in the fight against the Qing Dynasty has deteriorated, Zheng Chenggong should have realized that party struggle was serious.
Everyone will grow!
After experiencing so many defeats and losing cities and territory due to party strife and internal strife, Zheng Chenggong should have learned a lesson no matter how stupid he was.
Besides, as a national hero and a figure remembered by history, how could Zheng Chenggong be stupid!
How could he not grow?
A typical example is that when faced with Zhu Hongyu's request for help, Zheng Chenggong swiftly sent troops for reinforcements.
Although I asked for some benefits, I didn't engage in partisanship!
There was also the Northern Expedition to Nanjing in 1659.
Around 1659, the main force of the Qing army gathered in the southwest to encircle and suppress the Ming army in the southwest. The Ming army was completely defeated and the war became intense.
Zheng Chenggong took advantage of the Qing Dynasty's lack of military strength in the southeast and launched the Northern Expedition to Nanjing, and almost captured the city of Nanjing.
No matter whether Zheng Chenggong launched the Northern Expedition to Nanjing, he had the intention of picking up some advantages.
In fact, Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition to Nanjing really eased the pressure faced by the Ming Army in the southwest and gave Li Dingguo a chance to breathe after the defeat at Mopan Mountain.
This is irrefutable!
Some things can only be discussed based on the deeds and not the heart. If we talk about the heart, there will be no good people in the world!
Zhu Hongyu speculated that the reason why Zheng Chenggong did not send troops to Burma in history was because when Li Dingguo invaded Burma, Zheng Chenggong was besieging the city of Relanja.
Even if they want reinforcements, they may be powerless!
However, now due to the existence of Zhu Hongyu, a time traveler, Zheng Chenggong quickly conquered the city of Relanja with the butterfly wings moving without permission.
Faced with Li Dingguo's request for help, Zheng Chenggong naturally would not sit idly by and ignore it.
Hearing this, Ma Xin had an expression of surprise on his face and asked.
"Have you heard from His Majesty?"
Chen Yonghua nodded and said.
"yes!"
"Now His Majesty is being held captive by the King of Myanmar, and King Li Jin is trying to rescue him!"
Ma Xin said through gritted teeth.
"Ma Jixiang deserves death, Pang Tianshou deserves death!"
"If these two thieves hadn't harmed the country and forced His Majesty to stay in Myanmar, how could it have happened that His Majesty is now being coerced by the King of Myanmar?!"
Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but frown, and asked tentatively.
"Does Mr. Guo really want to invade Burma?"
Chen Yonghua nodded and said.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Guo Xing is already preparing for war!"
Zhu Hongyu spoke again.
"But if we take the sea route to conquer Burma, we will have to cross Manraka!"
Malacca, Malacca!
It was once a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle Dynasty, but now it has become a colony of Western countries.
It was once occupied by the Portuguese, but now it is in the hands of the Dutch.
Zheng Chenggong had just defeated the Dutch on Taiyuan Island and captured the city of Relanja. Looking back, they thought about Malacca, and the Dutch would never let them go.
"Is Mr. Guo Xing ready to attack Batavia and Malacca? Is it too hasty to send troops now?"
Zhu Hongyu asked.
Zheng Chenggong had just finished defeating the city of Relanja, and the decisive battle between Zhu Hongyu and the Spaniards was about to break out.
It would be too hasty to attack Batavia and Malacca now!
Chen Yonghua replied.
"The emperor's safety is at stake. No matter how rushed things are, we, the ministers, must try our best to do it!"
