At the banquet, Gao Gui asked Zheng Kebi that he needed a place to accommodate the Mu family. Zheng Kebi agreed without hesitation, but he could not tell where he was placed. Such a pampered otaku prince could not even tell the difference between Taipei and Tainan, so he asked Chen Jinnan.
Chen Jinnan Road: Just in Ping'an Town, ten miles away from Keelung Port, Dongning is a newly built land, with more open spaces near the port, salt and fishing, and backing the mountains, planting farming. The hundreds of acres of land near Ping'an Town should be enough for the Mu family to rest.
Zheng Kebi smiled and said: Father-in-law, this is the best. I will ask the people from the Ministry of Revenue to send a batch of food and gifts to the Mu family. Don't let the people from the Mu family say that our descendants of the Guo surname are stingy.
He glanced at Gao Gui again and said: My father-in-law, Brother Wei has worked hard this time, so we can't treat him badly. What kind of official position should we give Brother Wei?
Chen Jinnan smiled faintly and said: It depends on Xiaobao himself.
Gao Gui naturally understood in his heart that this was Zheng Kebi who was trying to win over him, but this guy was a little taken away today. Whenever there was a power struggle, especially the royal family, brothers and sons were killed each other, nakedly showing the ugliest side of human nature. Gao Gui has always lacked a good impression of such people.
He wants to be appointed as an official, so do I do it?
I am not even interested in Lu Ding Gong, let alone such a small official who doesn’t do anything about working for others!
What's more, my contribution is not enough to be put on the table, so how can I seal it?
The eldest son, Xiaobao is unwilling to be an official. If the eldest son does not object, I want to expand territory for the Ming Dynasty!
Zheng Kebi's heart was thrilled and said: "To expand territory? How to say it?"
He naturally knew his family affairs. With the military strength of the Zheng family, it was rare to defend his territory. It was a dream to regain the Ming Dynasty. But whether it was Zheng Kebi or any king in history, who would not want to open up his territory and obtain this martial arts that has been remembered forever?
Zheng Kebi knew it was impossible, but he still couldn't help but want to listen.
Gao Gui pondered for a moment and said: Master, what I meant by opening Xinjiang is not the mainland, but overseas.
Zheng Kebi said: Oh? Overseas?
Yes, the eldest son should know that the European countries such as Britain, Spain, and the Netherlands have conquered many Southeast Asian countries with powerful maritime power and advanced weapons and obtained huge wealth and resources. Because in this way, their countries are stronger and they can do it, why can't we?
Chen Jinnan nodded and said: From a strategic perspective, if we can have another rear, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be more stable. Xiaobao's proposal is good, but...
After a change of topic, he said: Foreigners’ firearms are powerful, we are not as good as them, and more importantly, we must be wary of the Qing Dynasty. How can we withdraw from the territory and expand our territory?
Gao Gui smiled and said: On the one hand, we must build a powerful army. Soldiers are more important than elites. If Kangxi comes to attack us, we should concentrate all our strength to defeat them with thunder. Doing so will not only appease those who are fickle and give the people confidence, but also warn Kangxi that we are not easy to bully. If we want this land, we have to pay a price that they cannot bear. Kangxi and Wu Sangui have not yet been resolved. How can we attack with all our might? How can we fight to the death with us? At that time, the Qing court is likely to send people to discuss. If the sword can be stopped temporarily, it will just give us the best opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity. We will attack Java first and control Java Island. It is best to immigrate to Java Island in large quantities and establish our Ming prefectures and counties. Even if Kangxi's domestic political situation is stable at that time, and if we want to attack Taiwan again, we will have a way out. Master, what do you think?
He knew that due to the Three Feudal Rebellion in history, the Qing court was unable to attack Taiwan. Prince Kang submitted a report to Kangxi for his resumption of troops and support the people, and held peace talks with the Zheng family. He could not shave his hair and braids, and he could not surrender. According to the examples of the vassal state and North Korea, he only needed to pay tribute.
But Zheng Jing did not die so early in history. At that time, Zheng Jing had already consumed his will and was debauched all day long. He was so stupid that he asked for many islands along the coast. He also asked Quanzhou, Huizhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou to allocate food and salary to his army. Kangxi naturally refused and the negotiations broke down, which led to Kangxi's furious Longyan. Finally, after Zheng Jing's death, Kangxi ordered the surrendered general Shi Lang to command the army and break through Taiwan.
Zheng Kebi said: Brother Wei’s statement makes sense, what does the father-in-law think?
After all, Zheng Kebi is a young man. Such a beautiful thing that can be remembered forever is naturally supported by both hands and feet, and even eager to try it out.
Chen Jinnan is very respectful. Although Gao Gui said that he agreed, such a far-sighted strategic intention, as a master, is naturally comforting him. However, sending troops to fight is not a trivial matter. Moreover, Java is still in the hands of the Dutch. When the Guo family regained Taiwan from the Dutch, although he won the victory, it relied on the tactics of the sea of people and the hard work, and the price was too high.
In Java, there are more Dutch soldiers, and almost half of Java are under their rule. It is a very fat piece of meat. The Dutch are willing to let go?
The situation is not optimistic
Chen Jinnandao: Xiaobao, do you have any more detailed plans?
Gao Gui smiled and said: Of course
But he didn't continue to talk. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Jinnan didn't ask any more questions, and said to Zheng Kebi: Congratulations to the eldest son, with this talent, the day when the Ming Dynasty will create new glory is just around the corner
Zheng Kebi smiled and said: Congratulations to my father-in-law for accepting such a good disciple
Gao Gui smiled and said: Congratulations to the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty for becoming a saint.
As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Jinnan and Zheng Kebi were both stunned. Chen Jinnan's face became very strange and shouted sternly: Xiaobao, you are drunk too much, what are you talking nonsense! The eldest son is a loyal minister of our Ming Dynasty! How could he do such a ruthless thing?
Gao Gui covered his mouth and said: Damn it, I forgot this for a while
But there was no regret or fear in his expression.
Gao Gui glanced at Zheng Kebi intentionally or unintentionally. As he expected, Zheng Kebi looked panicked on the surface, but his eyes showed surprise, flashing and fleeting. Psychologists have said that a person's language, expressions, and movements can be disguised, but his eyes are difficult to hide, especially this kind of eyes that only lasts for one or two seconds, is the most reflective of people's true emotions.
Gao Gui said in his heart: As long as you have ambitions, it will be easy
After leaving the Yanping Palace, Gao Gui and Chen Jinnan returned to the Palace. Chen Jinnan asked him about his future plans again
He was an old minister who served the Zheng family since the Zheng Chenggong era. Then to Zheng Jing, after Zheng Jing died of illness, he continued to assist Zheng Kebi. He knew best whether the Zheng family's army and fleet had the strength to fight against Java and go to war with the Dutch.
Master, remember when Guo's surname was driving the Dutch people from Taiwan, the locals were wary of the Dutch. Before the Dutch ruled Taiwan, there were Portuguese, Spanish and British oppressed the people of Taiwan. Therefore, Zheng Chenggong received great help from the local Han people when he seized Taiwan. Therefore, as a lesson, if we want to send troops to Java, we must first send a group of people to lurk in Java, establish good relations with the locals and the Dutch, and unite the Han people who immigrated to the locals, and provide valuable information to our army.
Chen Jinnan nodded unstoppable and said: This matter is left to the people of our Tiandihui. They are familiar with the road and it is no problem. Then, the more important thing is to conquer the Javanese army. To be honest, we do not have an advantage at sea, so how can we fight against the Dutch's strong ships and cannons?
Gao Gui pondered: Taiwan has a lot of forest resources and is convenient for shipbuilding, but neither the lucky ship nor the broad ship is enough to fight against the current European maritime powers. Therefore, we must seize a ship with the Netherlands in the future, study their shipbuilding technology, strive to build warships that combine Chinese and Western, compete with European powers for the territory of Southeast Asia, and establish a new Ming Dynasty.
In the seventeenth century, especially during the British-Dutch War, it was an important period for the academic development of the navy and naval forces.
Highlights are reflected in the further development of ships, artillery, the emergence of giant sailing battleships and the formation of naval line tactics
China was indeed ahead of the world in the shipbuilding industry in Ming Dynasty. At that time, it drove from China's waters to Malacca. All the ships inside the sea were made in China.
It can be seen how prosperous the maritime industry in the Ming Dynasty was. Zheng He's voyage to the West not only broadened the Chinese people's horizons, but also a feat of communicating the world.
But in the 17th century, because of the ignorance and indifference of sailing by the Qing Dynasty, coupled with the ban on Shanghai, the developed shipbuilding industry has become yesterday's yellow flower. A once glorious oriental sea overlord finally withered. It is precisely because of these incompetent and mentally retarded Jianlu that from the late 19th century to the 20th century, a great YāngYāng power became a super weak country that anyone could bully. The glory established by the Han people began to be trampled on by the Yuan Dynasty. After more than 300 years of trampling and destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was restored for more than 300 years, but it was unable to fully recover. Civilization was trampled on by barbarism. China's glorious civilization was therefore brought closer by foreign countries for hundreds of years, and was conquered by Jianlu. Civilization stopped again. The corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty directly caused China to be bullied and insulted by the great powers in the later Qing Dynasty.
Gao Gui knew very well that China was lagging behind many European powers at this time. This was the last bus for China to become stronger. If it did not rebuild its glory, the wheel of history will continue to reenact the tragedy of modern Chinese history. Everything will start from now on!
From now on, let China become stronger and no longer be bullied, and we must never let China become a lamb slaughtered by the alien invading army at will!
Master, where is our shipyard here?
