Zhu Hongyu nodded, he had no way to object to this matter.
Because he is a clan member and a clan leader who leads troops!
When the emperor is in danger, it stands to reason that his clan must be the one most anxious to serve the king.
This is political correctness!
Even if Zhu Hongyu thought about Yongli dying, the position of orthodoxy in the world was vacant so that he could fight for orthodoxy by virtue of his clan identity, he would never be able to show it.
Even if a group of his subordinates hope that Yongli will die and that Zhu Hongyu will be emperor in the future and give them the wealth they want, they must not show it.
In order to be politically correct, Zhu Hongyu must be the most active one in helping King Qin!
Before Zhu Hongyu lacks sufficient strength, his clan identity is his biggest basis!
At the beginning of the uprising, he was able to call on people because he was a member of the Ming Dynasty clan!
After the incident, he was able to make so many people willingly follow him to risk their lives because he was a member of the Ming Dynasty clan!
Even if Zheng Chenggong neatly sent people to reinforce him this time, it was definitely because Zhu Hongyu was a member of the Ming Dynasty clan!
What is a clan?
It is the embodiment of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the embodiment of the principles of etiquette and law.
What is etiquette?
The distinction between concubines and concubines, the subordinate relationship between the big sect and the small sect, this is etiquette!
Zhu Hongyu was born in the line of King Chu. Although he belonged to a clan, he could only be regarded as a small clan.
But Yongli was the grandson of Emperor Wanli and the legitimate son of King Gui. That was the real power in the world!
The concubine makes way for the legitimate son, and the small sect obeys the big sect. In the eyes of the world, this is a matter of course!
Before this, Zhu Hongyu received as much help as he did because of his status as a clan member, but now he is under great pressure on his shoulders.
Before he had enough strength and prestige to suppress the influence of feudal etiquette, Zhu Hongyu could only succumb to reality.
"Sir, please tell Mr. Guo Xing that my governor will end the battle with the Spanish as soon as possible!"
"Then prepare for the conquest of King Qin of Burma!"
Chen Yonghua said.
"The Commander-in-Chief does not need to worry about a decisive battle with the Spaniards. The king of the country is going to conquer the Burmese king, and the army will definitely be reorganized in Luzon."
"When tens of thousands of soldiers land on Luzon, the Spaniards will have no chance of winning!"
Zhu Hongyu heard this and spoke again.
"When will Mr. Guo Xing prepare to leave?"
Chen Yonghua said.
"Now the army is preparing the food, grass and weapons needed for the expedition, but it will take at least three to five months before the expedition begins!"
Preparing the food and fodder required for an expedition is very time-consuming!
Just like Zheng Chenggong preparing to recover the military supplies and fodder needed for the generals, from winning the great victory in Xiamen, annihilating the Qing army's 40,000 naval divisions, to officially conducting a cross-sea expedition!
Zheng Chenggong spent more than half a year preparing food, grass and military equipment.
This time the expedition is longer and the fighting is expected to be more intense. Batavia, Malacca and other places will be captured along the way, and then a landing operation will be carried out in Myanmar.
Zheng Chenggong only prepared for three to five months before launching his troops, which was considered extremely hasty!
Fortunately, during the Battle of Relanje City, Zheng Chenggong, with the help of the Liberation Army, quickly captured Relanje City instead of adopting the siege strategy as in history.
This saved Zheng Jun a large amount of food, grass and weapons that were expected to be consumed during the siege.
Therefore, this time, Zheng Chenggong could only prepare for the expedition in March or May.
The reason why the Zheng Army, which led reinforcements to Luzon, was able to send troops so quickly was because the Liberation Army provided food, grass and weapons for the reinforcements of the Zheng Army.
Zheng Jun just comes here with the knife, there is no need to prepare anything else.
The reason why the Liberation Army could afford the food and fodder logistics for the five thousand Zheng Army was because Zhu Hongyu had been preparing for the decisive battle with the Spanish for more than half a year.
I have already started hoarding food, grass and weapons!
Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and said.
"Sir, please report back to me. I will completely end the war with the Spaniards in Luzon before the army sets off!"
"And prepare the food and grass needed for the expedition army to repair!"
It was absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Hongyu to ask him to wait three to five months until Zheng Chenggong arrived with his army and then fight the Spanish decisively.
One is because Zhu Hongyu regards Luzon as his base, and he wants to win it by himself!
Borrowing troops is fine, but this battle must be led by him!
Let Zheng Chenggong take command, absolutely not!
Secondly, according to intelligence reports, the Spanish fleet of galleons has arrived.
Even if the Liberation Army does not take the initiative to attack, the Spaniards who have received reinforcements may attack at any time!
The war can't be delayed until then!
Chen Yonghua looked surprised, as if he understood what Zhu Hongyu was thinking, but he didn't say much, just nodded and said.
"It would be great if the Grand Governor ends the war in Luzon as soon as possible!"
"This time King Qin has a big stake!"
"If the emperor dies, what will we and the officials do?!"
"Is it possible to establish another emperor?!"
When he said this, Chen Yonghua stared directly at Zhu Hongyu.
That look seemed to say, do you want to be the emperor?
Zhu Hongyu shook his head with a strong heart, and then spoke firmly.
"No, the emperor will be protected by Emperor Taizu, so nothing will happen to him!"
It's not that Zhu Hongyu doesn't want to be the emperor, but he doesn't want to be the puppet emperor.
Before he has enough strength, the emperor is just a pawn in the hands of Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, and others.
There will be no difference from the Yongli, Longwu, Shaowu and other puppet emperors in history!
No matter how loyal these people are and will never betray the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongyu does not want to be a pawn!
Either he doesn't want to be an emperor, or he has to be a true emperor!
The true emperor holds the power and can decide the lives and deaths of thousands of people with just one word!
Chen Yonghua's test failed, but he was not disappointed and spoke.
"Students say goodbye, now we have to go back to the senior staff to report the news to Mr. Guo Xing!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.
"Have a nice trip sir!"
"..."
…
Chen Yonghua came quickly and left quickly.
After conveying the news to Zhu Hongyu and Ma Xin that Zheng Chenggong was preparing to conquer Burma, he left in a hurry.
Zhu Hongyu turned to Ma Xin and said.
"Admiral Ma, I want to conquer King Burmese Qin. The war on our side needs to be started as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, if the war in Luzon has not yet come to an end by the time Lord Guo Xing has sent troops, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to Lord Guo Xing!"
Ma Xin nodded and said.
"What the Governor said is true!"
"What to do next, please tell me what to do next!"
Ma Xin's words made Zhu Hongyu relax again.
He has been worrying about the ownership of the command of this battle. Zhu Hongyu will never give in to the command of this battle.
If Ma Xin also wants command power, things will be very troublesome!
Now that Ma Xin can express his position like this, that would be great.
It can be seen that his warm hospitality to Ma Xin during this period was not in vain!
In fact, there is a reason why Ma Xin made such a statement. Although he has many troops, Luzon is not his home field.
He has a blind eye on the respective situations in Luzon, how can he command the battle!
It is better to simply hand over the command to Zhu Hongyu and he will just follow orders!
What’s more, Ma Xin doesn’t think he has such a big face when asking a Ming Dynasty clan to obey his orders!
