Chapter 769: Not in a hurry
Huang Sheng was not in a hurry, he just didn't let that boot fall.
Let Jiannu continue to guess the fear of the unknown in a high degree of tension, and let them have a nervous breakdown!
It is a political task to shorten the distance with the officials of the Southern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty and reduce the resistance, and Huang Sheng will certainly not refuse people thousands of miles away, and readily agrees to go to Nanjing to celebrate the Spring Festival with the Ming Dynasty and the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, a fleet of more than 200 warships and armed merchant ships arrived from the Wa Kingdom, and the fluttering flag was embroidered with the word "Li" in a big fight.
It was Li Guozhu who learned that the king of the south was personally driving and brought the team to serve in front of the army.
Li Guozhu has fought invincible opponents in the East over the years, and of course he has monopolized the maritime trade of Wa and Luzon Island hand in hand with the "Huaxia Development". In addition to Hirado Island, which he had been operating for many years, he also added the Goto Islands, which showed his strength.
Li Guozhu knew that with the passage of time, the "Huaxia Navy" should not tolerate pirate groups disrupting free trade, and he was ready to accept the adaptation of the "God of War", hoping to become an official and a half-official in the "Nanming".
Li Guozhu knew Huang Sheng's strength best, and when he heard that the Southern King had formed a large army for the Northern Expedition, he realized that the entire Liaodong and Goryeo regions were about to become the new territory of the "Southern Ming".
He rushed to lead his subordinates to see the king of the south just to make another meritorious service, and his expectations were not very high, he just wanted to sit on the official position of North Korean Shinhaejun, whether he could get a guerrilla battalion in the Busan area in the south of the Korean Peninsula or a master of Futai.
The old man raised troops to help in the war, of course Huang Sheng had to receive him well and appease him with good words, and he specially invited Li Guozhu to meet him in the flagship conference cabin.
Li Guozhu saw Huang Sheng and calmly told him that he wanted to become the minister of "Nanming" and that his subordinates would also become "God of War" soldiers, and asked Huang Sheng to send officers and pacification officers to transform his troops.
He also revealed his intention to develop a larger piece of land, and he expressed his willingness to let his troops become the vanguard of the attack on the Manchus, and he would lead the soldiers to open up territory for the "Southern Ming" in the future.
Huang Shengwei annihilated Jiannu's men and horses, and there was really no need to waste too many navies and warships in the Liaohai Sea in vain, Li Guozhu's team was quite passable in naval battles, and it was a little difficult to land and attack the city.
Huang Sheng saw that Li Guozhu's enthusiasm for making contributions was high, and it was really difficult to refuse his request, so he had an idea.
Huang Sheng said: "General Li has traveled thousands of miles to help the king of the war, and the general's request is reasonable, and the king will definitely support it, but the station planned by the general should be slightly changed." ”
Li Guozhu was very happy to see that King Nan agreed to his request for an official position and land, but he didn't care where he changed, anyway, the territory of "Nanming" was big, and he would not be aggrieved anywhere with his personal relationship with King Nan.
He said: "Thank Your Highness for your love, no matter where Your Highness gives you the lowly duty to be stationed, the lowly duty will be faithful." ”
Huang Sheng said: "The general has been trading in the U Kingdom for a long time, is proficient in the U Chinese language, and there are many U Ronin under his command, why do you fancy the territory of Goryeo, is the territory of the U Kingdom not enough for the general to use his imagination?" ”
Li Guozhu knew that Huang Sheng was waving his army to attack the Manchu Qing this time, and naturally thought of the territory of Korea, and now Huang Sheng reminded him to consider the territory of the Wa State, and he immediately understood.
Li Guozhu asked: "Didn't Your Highness prepare to attack the Wa Kingdom while attacking the Manchu Dynasty?" Do we have the strength to fight on two fronts? ”
Huang Sheng said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the general can go step by step, as far as this king knows, the Tokugawa shogunate of the Wa kingdom Ezo has not been able to completely seize it at all, and now the Tokugawa shogunate is weakened due to internal and external troubles, and there is ......"
Li Guozhu's eyes lit up and said: "Your Highness means to let the humble position take the Ezo land, haha, the territory there is not small!" It's a pity that the lowly manpower is a little tight, and he may not be able to control it! ”
"The general doesn't need to think about manpower, this is something that this king should consider, and this king has also brought the general's old acquaintances here, you can completely abandon your previous suspicions and cooperate with them again to seize the Japanese kingdom."
In history, Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Yang Tiansheng, Zheng Yiguan and other pirates and maritime merchants were dissatisfied with the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and plotted to rebel and fight for the right to speak in the Japanese country, but unfortunately the plot was not secret and did not succeed, but was hunted down and killed by the Tokugawa shogunate army.
Of course, Li Guozhu knew his father's ambitions, and he also knew that Zheng Yiguan was one of the participants, and when he heard Huang Sheng say this, of course he guessed who Nanwang was going to let him cooperate with again.
Li Guozhu knew that Huang Shengwang did not chase and beat Zheng Yiguan's group on the one hand, but on the contrary, he also gave Zheng Yiguan help, he knew how big the territory of "Nanming" is now, and how many talents are needed.
Li Guozhu and Zheng Yiguan are old rivals, of course, they know that Zheng Yiguan is also a master of naval warfare, and with the warships of Zheng Yiguan's group to attack Ezo together, the probability of victory will be increased too much.
Li Guozhu said: "Your Highness will be attached to all the heroes of all walks of life, and I don't mind cooperating with Zheng Yiguan." Moreover, Amakusa Shisada, who is entrenched in Shimabara, is very ambitious, and he has already led the religious army to conquer half of Kyushu Island, and the shogunate army is now in a hurry, where can he still take care of the less important Ezo land. ”
Huang Sheng asked: "There is no need for the general to make wedding dresses for others in the future, the battle situation on Kyushu Island is mainly wait-and-see, and there is no need to provide food and ammunition for the cult army free of charge." ”
Li Guozhu said with a smile: "I understand that I have long since stopped participating in the civil war on Kyushu Island, and I can give food and weapons, but I can't miss one or two taels of silver." ”
Huang Shengdao: "With the Catholic Army fighting the Tokugawa Shogunate Army on Kyushu Island, it is not difficult for the general to take Ezo and operate, and the vision is more long-term. ”
Huang Sheng looked at the thoughtful Li Guozhu and smiled, and asked the guards to pass the Zheng family's big leader to the flagship meeting warehouse, and after a while, Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhibao and others came to meet him.
Zheng Zhibao's face was red when he saw Li Guozhu, of course, he thought of the dilemma when he was captured, Zheng Sen and Tagawa Nanazaemon were both seeing Li Guozhu for the first time, and they were all carefully looking at the old opponents of the Zheng family.
Huang Sheng said straight to the point: "There are so many Han people, if you sincerely unite with the outside world, which country in the world can confront you, and summoning the Li family and the Zheng family here today is to be a peacemaker, so that you can release your previous suspicions and join forces again." ”
The three brothers Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen all knew that Li Guozhu had followed Nanwang for a long time, and if he accepted the "Nanming" Zhao'an, he would have to reconcile with the Li family.
Li Guozhu didn't take it seriously, and after greeting Zheng Zhibao and the others for a few words, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, if you join forces with the Zheng family, how many shogunate soldiers and horses can be stationed in the small Japanese Ezo land, and it will be easy to take it." ”
Zheng Sen heard the voice and said: "The Zheng family unconditionally obeys the order, where His Highness points out, we will fight!" ”
