Chapter 742: Don't Wait Ten Years (1/3 for Alliance Leader Li Peiyun)

Zheng Sen almost yelled at Liu Hong, he was sad and angry in his heart, and he even forgot his identity.

The Zheng family has come to this point because of the Dutch and Franco, and his father, uncle, cousin, and cousin all died under the joint conspiracy of the Three Kingdoms fleet.

At the same time, many of the fathers of the Zheng family soldiers died in the Battle of Dongning, including Liu Guoxuan, Feng Xifan, and Chen Jinnan's father.

What made him most excited was that these foreign vassals not only killed their fathers, but also hung their bodies on masts to be exposed to the sun and pecked by seabirds.

The hatred of killing his father is not shared, this humiliation, Zheng Sen can't wait to break the corpses of those foreign feudal people into thousands of pieces, even if they die together, he will not frown.

Now, the words of peace came out of Liu Hong's mouth, how could Zheng Sen dare to believe it.

"Peace is only a stopgap measure, we must leave Holo Island with everyone, because ......"

"What an expedient measure, brother, the Zheng family paid tens of thousands of casualties to keep Holo Island, and those foreign feudal lords must pay the price!" Zheng Sen didn't wait for Liu Hong to finish speaking, and then interrupted him.

"Calm down!" Liu Hongjian was not angry.

At this time, Zheng Sen was not the national surname of Taiwan twenty years later, but an ordinary person who was younger than Liu Hongjian and lost his father.

"Those dead soldiers are not holding on to the island of Holo, but you, the Han people behind you, the surrounding territories have fallen into the hands of the Dutch and the Francos, what do you do to protect these people?

Just rely on the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Zheng family? Liu Hong gradually asked rhetorically.

"But isn't there a Beiyang sailor brother?" Zheng Sen was puzzled, he didn't believe that his brother would refuse to help him.

"The Beiyang Navy Division belongs to the imperial court and His Majesty, and he is self-respecting for the generals, and the way to death is also!

It's not that my brother won't help you, the Beiyang Naval Division arrived here from Weihai, Shandong, and has gone through a lot of twists and turns, and there is only one purpose for my brother, to bring you back to Daming. ”

"I'm not going back! Even if I die in battle, I have no regrets! Zheng Sen said stubbornly with a frown.

"! It's not for my brother to save you from death, if your father knew what you are like now, he would definitely smack you with a big mouth! Liu Hong gradually saw Zheng Sen like this, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

Where does Zheng Sen in front of him have the majesty of Zheng Chenggong in later generations, and today's Zheng Sen is just an ordinary young man who is stubborn and hated by the leader of the alliance.

Zheng Sen didn't answer when he heard this, and it could be seen that his heart was still occupied by hatred.

"In the past two months, the Beiyang Naval Division has gone through three major battles, and you have also seen the warships on the seaside, and the armor of the ships has been damaged.

Four of the main battleships were sunk, five were seriously damaged, and the rest were all wounded, as well as ammunition, how long does it take to transport ammunition, grain and grass from Quanzhou, and how much risk you need to take, you know it yourself, right? Liu Hong gradually began to settle accounts for Zheng Sen.

That is, Zheng Sen, and Liu Hong, who was replaced by others, gradually didn't bother to pay attention to it.

There is another point that Liu Hongjian did not say, the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division are steam-powered, this thing consumes coal, and after floating at sea for so long, the reserves are already insufficient, according to Qi Yuanfu, who is in charge of logistics, after another naval battle, they will not be able to go back.

After the Battle of Taiwan, the Battle of the Netherlands, and the Battle of Furlong, all of which were hard battles, the Beiyang Naval Division suffered extremely serious losses and urgently needed to return to the sea for repairs.

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Seeing that Zheng Sen was silent, Liu Hong gradually knew that the little brother still listened to it.

"And being a brother won't let you wait for ten years, whether it's the Dutch or the Franco, they can't run, and sooner or later my brother will avenge you." Liu Hong gradually said again.

Three naval battles in a row made Liu Hong gradually see the gap between the Beiyang Naval Division and the Netherlands, Francis and other Europa maritime powers.

But Liu Hongchuan was not discouraged at all, the Daming Naval Division was not bad, and there were three problems that needed to be solved urgently, the problem of speed, the flowering bomb and the problem of weak armor.

Give Daming another two years, Liu Hong gradually has the confidence to solve these problems, when the time comes, the armament is sufficient, the ships are strong, and the artillery is strong, so why be afraid of the small country of Europa?

When the time is ripe, whether it is revenge or destroying the country, it all depends on his mood.

Liu Hong stopped talking after he finished speaking, he had already said what he should say, and it was up to Zheng Sen whether he could understand the overall situation.

"It's Damu who is blinded by hatred." Zheng Sen was silent for a long time, and finally exhaled the anger in his chest.

In fact, how could he not understand the current situation, the island of Holo is not a dangerous place, and it is surrounded by colonists of Europa.

The colonies of the Dutch, the Great and the Little Francians surrounded Holo in two directions, and even if they wanted to do business, how could they do it.

Without money, food, and ordnance, what can they do to protect the Han people on Holo Island, and besides, how can the Three Kingdoms leave such a nail on Holo Island?

Even if the Beiyang Naval Division stays here and can take precautions for a while, can it still be guarded all the time? Will the imperial court agree to the Beiyang Naval Division's stay in the Nanyang?

The answer is all no.

"That's what I heard from the eldest brother, but it's hard to explain to the soldiers." Zheng Sen worried.

Not everyone can figure out these problems, most of the generals of the Zheng family are coarse people who can't read big characters, and even a considerable number of them can't survive to be pirates.

Asking for a life at sea, pay attention to a happy grudge, they don't hold grudges, and generally revenge on the spot if they have a grudge.

Zheng Sen was worried that the matter of negotiating peace would cause the Zheng family generals to be dissatisfied with his brother, and most of the future annexation to the imperial court would have to rely on his brother to take care of him, and he didn't want things to develop to that point.

"You are the leader of the Zheng family's army, you can solve this matter by yourself." Liu Honggradually did not want to forcibly intervene in his identity, which would only backfire.

If Zheng Sen can't even solve such things, and he can't bear the name of future generations, Zheng Jiajun is just a ragtag army of local chickens and dogs.

There is also the issue of the military system of the Zheng family, although the original team retains the position of general, but the military system must be in accordance with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it will be a bit unusual.

There are still many problems that need to be solved urgently, but in addition to Taiwan, Nanyang has no Ming Dynasty, which makes Liu Hong gradually uncomfortable.

The current naval strength of the Ming Dynasty was simply not enough to deal with the three maritime powers of Europa at the same time, and the two governors of the Netherlands died at their own hands, and the two countries were irreconcilable.

said that it is good to dominate Nanyang, but now it has always been too natural for itself, and the road is still difficult to walk, and it must be taken step by step.

The plan for now is to reconcile the truce with the big and small Francs, concentrate on dealing with the Dutch, and then make plans.

And Liu Hongjian has two chips in his hand, one is the ownership of Holo Island, and the other is the right to trade with Daming.

The former is still a small matter, and the latter Liu Honggradually believes that the Spanish and Portuguese will definitely consider it, after all, they desperately occupy the colonies, just for wealth.

And doing business with the Ming Dynasty, there are great profits, tea, silk and porcelain are almost the three major artifacts of the East currency and the West, and no one will refuse.

"Big brother, there is one more thing I forgot to say, the reason why the Zheng family was breached within half a month was because the Zheng family had a traitor.

I've been investigating all this time, and I only found out yesterday.

The man's name was Lee Kang-tae, and he was a businessman who had been buying food for the army. ”
