Lord of Ming Dynasty

It's an alliance full of contradictions.

Zheng Jing believes that it will take some effort to complete this alliance combination.

Chapter 922 I'm going to kill you again

Zheng Jing was working on an alliance, and when Hong Tianpao sent an envoy to China Kingdom to buy new ships, the second prince sent an envoy.He was also talking about buying ships.

The battle with Zheng Jing’s Australian kingdom caused Hong Hongxiu’s warships and warships to suffer heavy losses. Although there are more than 100 of Zheng Jing’s [-]-ton warships and nearly [-] merchant ships captured by him in front of him, they can participate in the battle after modification. , but compared to Zheng Jing's strength, their strength is not enough.

Because of one thing, Zheng Jing's family can build ships, guns, and guns by themselves, and their gun ships need to be imported, and they cannot resist Zheng Jing's attack by capturing and transforming merchant ships.

Almost all the hundreds of merchant ships at the beginning were transformed into armed merchant ships. In several sea battles, Hong Hongxiu lost [-] transformed armed merchant ships, and Zheng Jing’s losses were also transformed armed merchant ships, but they had their own warships. However, with a hundred tons or so, it crushed the armed merchant ship he transformed, showing the gap between professional and amateur.

In the entire battle, they only sank more than 50 modified armed merchant ships and 210 hundred-ton warships, but lost [-] modified armed merchant ships, eleven warships under [-] tons, and [-] captives. Pass their hundred-ton warships.

If it weren't for the coastal defense artillery in the port of Papua New Guinea, and they later filled in [-] old [-]-pound field guns from the Chinese Army, the Royal Australian Army might have already attacked the island of Papua New Guinea.

For this reason, he urgently ordered [-] merchant ships from Zheng Zhi, and bought [-] of Zheng Zhi's old warships of the Huaxia Army after they fought against the Chinese Navy. Island of Papua New Guinea.

But with these ships alone, he knew that he couldn't beat Zheng Jing, so he could only get more warships, armed merchant ships, and even warships as soon as possible, and only Hong Tianpao had this.

This time he brought a lot of rubber trees, banana trees, fruits, furs, cows, alpacas, and bird droppings. Eighty merchant ships were used to transport them alone. The fast [-]-ton warship took nearly three months to reach the Ryukyu Kingdom after a long detour.

Of course it was impossible for Hong Hongxiu to arrive in person, he was afraid that Hong Tianpao would arrest him or kill him, this time it was his son Hong Wenyi again.

Facing so much cargo, Hong Tianpao was also very happy. He wanted to change the ship a long time ago. With so much cargo, he sold the merchant ships and small-tonnage warships in his fleet to his second brother, and then exchanged the money. You can continue to buy newer warships and warships of the Huaxia Kingdom. New warships are definitely not possible, but those ships are only ten, eight, or even six years old. In fact, there are not many warships in the Huaxia Kingdom. usefulness.

The Huaxia Kingdom is not short of money now, but there are rare materials from all over the world. With these materials from his second brother, he can use these materials to negotiate with the Huaxia Kingdom.

The last time he bought the warships and warships of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom, he was actually unhappy. The warships and warships of the Yangtze River Fleet are not good at first glance. You can only run if you want to float on the river. To fight at sea?

It must be that the ships that are not suitable for fighting in the sea have been decommissioned to the Yangtze River Naval Guard. Although there are a few new warships there, but he only bought a few good ones after buying so many, which made him feel cheated. This time he must He wanted to buy some good ones, preferably active ones. He knew that the old warships currently in service in the Huaxia Kingdom were good ships that had not exceeded ten years, and they were all strengthened and remodeled.

So he didn't care about his second brother cheating him when he left last time, but welcomed his nephew again with a smile. The last time he sold his nephew was actually his retired ship, and the Yangtze River The inland river warships of the naval garrison are all small tonnage. In addition to being able to transport offshore, and fighting in good sea conditions, they are actually not in good condition. He also knows that this is why Hong Hongxiu and the others are fighting against the islands of Papua New Guinea. Hong Wenxiu must have known that he had tricked them into the cause of the heavy losses, but everyone didn't say anything, and he didn't say it either. Are they still a family?

He warmly welcomed his nephew Hong Wenyi, and then secretly ordered the navy general, "Go and clean up all our old ships, even if they are not clean up, pull them out. I will be useful tomorrow."

After entertaining his nephew, when his nephew proposed to buy warships and warships, he was very bold and waved his hand, "They are all from my own family. Why are you talking so much? You can choose the ships here. I’ll sell it to you at a low price, and if it really doesn’t work, I can give you a few of them.”

But Hong Wenyi was very surprised by his second uncle's performance, and secretly told himself that it was not like his second uncle's style, so he had to be careful, and then said nununuonuo: "Second uncle, I didn't bring much money this time, only about 1000 million worth of goods, do you think you can give us some good warships, and we will return you slowly when we have them?"

Hong Tianpao smiled kindly: "What are you talking about, family, yes, yes, I will take you to choose tomorrow. I must not let you suffer. I have long disliked that kid from the Zheng family. Besides, His Majesty Zhang Qiang also likes it." He is not pleasing to the eye, having killed so many Zheng family members, look at our Hong family, although there are disputes, they are all just disputes of righteousness, how can it go to the point of bloodshed, and hurt harmony."

The two discussed with each other about family ties, friendship and so on.

The next day, Hong Wenyi took people to choose ships, bought ten 30-ton battleships in Hong Tianpao's remaining main fleet for 20 Huaxia yuan each, and bought ten [-]-ton warships for [-] yuan each. The remaining [-] to [-], [-] to [-], bought a lot of warships in good condition, and then Hong Tianpao gave him fifty warships under [-] tons that were in bad condition. Fifty old merchant ships.

Hong Wenyi was extremely grateful.

A week later, Hong Wenyi returned empty with a huge fleet of nearly 100 warships and more than [-] merchant ships, because he had no money to buy goods.

In fact, except for twenty warships, all he bought could only be said to be tattered. This time, Hong Tianpao almost sold all the warships supported by the Huaxia Army that he had used in the past ten years, earning nearly 600 yuan. Wan Hua Xia Yuan.

He sold those goods at the port, and they were all goods needed by all parties. Guangdaqing bought a lot of them. The rubber trees and banana trees were bought by the Huaxia Kingdom. When the tree species requested by His Majesty the King were purchased, they reported it quickly, and then transplanted these books to Baodao and Qiongdao. At the same time, banana and sugarcane trees were transplanted to offshore islands and offshore coasts.

And Hong Tianpao, who has more than 6000 million silver taels and nearly 8000 million Huaxia yuan reserves, also waited for the reply from the dispatched envoy, and the Huaxia Kingdom agreed to sell their ships again.

Soon Hong Tianpao had a bitter expression on his face, too this time he was cheated by the Huaxia Kingdom, and the Huaxia Kingdom dealt with their rags for themselves, the original coast guard fleet of the coastal fleet was a 30-year-old merchant ship, and a 25-year-old warship transformation Merchant ships, remodeled warships from 20 years ago, the first generation of Chinese warships from 18 years ago, the second generation of Chinese warships from 15 years ago, warships from 15 years ago, what kind of rags are these? Ah, the only good thing is the remaining eight thousand-ton warships and fifteen six-hundred-ton warships of the Yangtze River Naval Garrison eight years ago, and the remaining two hundred warships of the Third Fleet of the Huaxia Army and the warships retired this year Fifty of the warships and warships of the decade.

He cheated his second brother, and the Huaxia Army specially cheated him.

He spent 3000 million Huaxia Yuan to buy one-fifth of these old ships of the Huaxia Army, about [-] ships, except for the last warships and warships of the Yangtze River Naval Guard, the retired warships and warships of the Third Fleet, The rest are things that he doesn't even want to burn fire. His vision is now very high. What he is keen on is the new warship of the Huaxia Army.

Chapter 923 Double the Profit

After ten days of sailing, Hong Wenyi's fleet arrived at Zheng Zhi's Nanyang Kingdom. Because everyone had business contacts, they didn't tear themselves apart, and Zheng Zhi and Zheng Jing didn't deal with each other. Stop at the port of the Nanyang Kingdom for supplies, take a break, and then head south back to New Zealand.

It took four months to go out this time, and it will take two months to go back. I don’t know if my father can support me to bring the fleet back. There is a lack of everything at home, food, medicine, various wood and tools for repairing sailboats, There are also various ships that are constantly being lost. The [-] merchant ships he brought out this time are all merchant ships except the [-] merchant ships that provided supplies to Papua New Guinea.

If they can't take these merchant ships back, the Papua New Guinea islands they just captured will lose support in the future. Without support, they will soon be taken back by Zheng Jing, who is closer.

Near the port of the Nanyang Kingdom, they sold the two damaged merchant ships in the middle of the journey, and raised some necessary food and ship repair tools. Unexpectedly, when he was preparing enough supplies and preparing to return, the king of Nanyang Kingdom Zheng Zhi brought a group of A businessman surnamed Li came.

"Little prince, please forgive me for Gu's sudden visit." Zheng Zhi said kindly to him with a smile.

Hong Wenyi also pretended to receive him warmly, but he complained in his heart. At the beginning, you gathered us together, and when you lost the battle, you ran away in a hurry and came back to annex my uncle's territory. After we lost, you annexed our territory again. Later, I fled to Luzon Island in embarrassment after being beaten by the sea and marine teams of the Huaxia Kingdom. If it weren't for the re-emergence of the new Lu Kingdom, I wouldn't want to see you. Maybe we will meet again when we meet again. Both of us will kill each other to avenge our betrayal.

"I wonder what His Majesty the King has learned from coming here today?" Hong Wenyi asked.

Zheng Zhi sat down generously, then motioned for Hong Wenyi to sit down as well, and said, "Little prince, I heard that you bought some ships from your second uncle. The alliance has already sent many people to make contact, but where is your new Lu country? Damn it, the Huaxia Kingdom has been cheap for nothing, why don't we unite, meet each other frankly, stop fighting for a while, live in peace, and complement each other, what do you think?"

"Boy, I have to go back and report to my father that I don't dare to be good at it." Hong Wenyi said.

"Well, good," Zheng Zhi nodded with a sinister smile.

Seeing that Zheng Zhi couldn't get up to leave after finishing his speech, Hong Wenyi could only chat with him all over the world. When they went to the Ryukyu Kingdom from Xinlu Kingdom and Australia Kingdom, they usually had to stop at Luzon Island for supplies. There is no place to resupply for a journey of thousands of miles. Let the sailors relax, and they will suffer from problems after a long time. If they don't rest here, they can only go to the Spaniards to rest.

Compared with the Spaniards, the tradition of the Han people is to feel comfortable in their own territory. Although everyone is a little bit unkind and likes to plot against each other, generally everyone is getting along on the surface and will not go too far. The new Lu Kingdom is fighting with the Australian Kingdom. Death, who knew that a year ago, everyone would visit each other, trade with each other, and be as close as brothers?

At the beginning, they didn't know that the second prince actually came with the mission of Zhang Qiang, the king of the Huaxia Kingdom, and he came specifically for the Zheng family and Zheng Jing.

"Little prince, I think you've gained a lot this time, and I'm short of boats here. I wonder if I can part with a few?" Zheng Zhi said his second purpose for coming today.

"This," Hong Wenyi did not expect that he would make such a request. These ships are the ships that the kingdom urgently needs. They can't support it anymore, they can't build their own ships, and Zheng Jing can build warships by himself. Large-tonnage warships are not easy to build, but there are as many small-tonnage one-hundred-ton warships as there are, and there are many three-hundred-ton warships. They lost less than a few months and could make another batch, but they could only buy it.

But now the Nanyang Kingdom can build large-tonnage merchant ships, and transform them into armed merchant ships. Although the speed is not fast, most of them are three knots or four knots, but there is no shortage of others. Why buy from him?

He thought deeply.

"Little prince, I have nothing to do. We are fighting the Spaniards. Ordinary merchant ships cannot defeat the Spanish warships. The warships they come from the west seem to be small in tonnage, but they are super fast. They are specially designed for fighting. However, our armed merchant ships are basically sent to death. We often have to use dozens of armed merchant ships to severely damage an enemy's warship. Only the loss of one ship can kill one of the enemy. Over the years, we have relied on some warships and warships of the Huaxia Kingdom left over from the past, otherwise, we are likely to be driven into the sea by the Spaniards."

Zheng Zhi said sincerely.

The little prince believed it, and he also knew that the Spaniards were more powerful. The warships they built were more expensive than warships, and the soldiers were all professional sailors. Although there are only dozens of armed merchant ships, a dozen warships, and five or six warships, they can suppress Zheng Zhi for so many years. Maybe they can't beat the new warships of the Huaxia Army, but the Huaxia Army uses the old warships to start the war. The Spaniards are at a disadvantage. Under the premise of warships and the number of warships, it can still be tied with the Chinese navy.

These Thai and Westerners generally started from the sea and traveled thousands of miles to come here. Isn't it amazing?

"Your Majesty, you want to buy the warships and warships I bought this time?"

"It's not cheap, I'm bankrupt this time." The little prince's business methods are also very clever, and he immediately started the business model.

He knows that if Zheng Zhi is not satisfied today, he will definitely not be able to leave the port. Who is Zheng Zhi, who ruined nearly a thousand warships and hundreds of warships of the Hong family, the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the British. His proposal caused heavy losses to each family.

"I can't help it. I need it urgently. If I don't add more, I won't be able to stand up to the Spaniards here." Zheng Zhi's words were his own sincerity.

The ratio between him and the Spaniards is five to one, but the combat power is twenty to one. He is one, and others are twenty. His twenty warships can fight against one of his warships, and his thirty armed merchant ships can fight against others. Two armed merchant ships, he has hundreds of warships to fight against more than a dozen warships, five or six warships.

As time went by, they built good warships and warships, but the Spaniards could build their own armed merchant ships, and one or two warships and warships came from the West from time to time to supplement them.
