Putmans finally reunited with Zuo Hua.
"Dear General Zuo, we have achieved an unprecedented victory. From now on, there will no longer be any obstacles on the waters of the East, and our trade will be unimpeded."
Looking at Putmans who was expressing his emotions, Zuo Hua couldn't help but smile.
"From now on, we never have to pay a damn toll again."
These words made Putmans nod his head.
"Yeah, damn tolls!"
When the two armies joined together, there were thirteen Galen warships, and their combat power was even more astonishing.
While Putmans marveled at the rapid development of Xia's navy, he was confident of the final victory.
"We should move forward quickly and not give Zheng Zhilong any chance to breathe. Only by completely eliminating him will we not have to worry about any recurrence in this sea area."
Zuo Hua had the same ideas as him, but they were not consistent.
"Zheng Zhilong's power must be eliminated, but we must also intimidate the local officials in Fujian. Otherwise, as you know, with the virtue of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely hinder our trade."
Putmans could not agree more with this statement.
He also had many dealings with the Ming Dynasty, and he knew very well how annoying those people who were stuck in their ways were.
The two armies merged together and began to move south.
Within a day, we arrived at the sea outside Fuzhou.
Zuo Hua was not polite and directly occupied Guantang Mountain at the mouth of the Minjiang River and aimed his guns at the coastal area.
This incident alone shocked all parts of Fujian and made everyone panic.
That evening, a small boat approached fearfully, carrying representatives of Fujian officials.
"In front of the general, I, Cao Yanze, beg the general to have mercy on the innocent people of Fujian and refrain from fighting against each other."
Looking at the old man in front of me, I found that although there was sadness in his expression, there was not much fear. He was obviously a man who had experienced strong winds and waves.
"But the layman Shicang who has thousands of books?"
When the old man heard Zuo Hua's question, he couldn't help but be startled.
He was once a court official and had seen many vulgar generals, so he felt that the soldiers of Xia Kingdom must be the same. Unexpectedly, Zuo Hua actually knew his name.
And I saw that Zuo Hua had a correct attitude and elegant manners. Although he was heroic, he was not vulgar or slovenly.
If it weren't for the fierce light in the one eye, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Zhou Yu was reincarnated.
Such a strange appearance has never been seen before in my life.
"I really didn't expect that the general would know that I have a false reputation. It's really an honor for me."
Seeing that he admitted it, Zuo Hua laughed. Take the initiative to walk up to him, hold his arm and sit down together.
"Every time a dog is slaughtered in a righteous manner, it is a scholar who is unfaithful. My Royal Highness has something to say. Just by relying on this sentence, the old gentleman will definitely leave his name for eternity."
Zuo Hua and others have always received Zuo Menggeng's careful teachings on their growth path.
They not only teach them military knowledge, but also cover all kinds of literature, politics, geography, history, etc.
Therefore, although Zuo Hua and others came from humble backgrounds, their mastery of knowledge was actually far superior to many people of this era.
The old man in front of him is named Cao Xuequan, and he is a well-known and well-known scholar in Fujian.
He had many political achievements when he was an official, and he was upright and upright, which effectively curbed the misbehavior of the emperor's relatives and vassals.
That famous couplet, which has been passed down through the ages, was also inspired by his thoughts when he was in Guangxi.
Cao Xuequan was the lobbyist invited by Xiao Yifu to communicate with Xia Jun.
The old gentleman was anxious about justice and was even more worried about the local people suffering from military disasters. Therefore, he was not afraid of life and death and happily agreed.
When he came, he had already thought about how to deal with Xia Jun.
Even if he risked his life, if he could persuade Xia Jun not to attack innocent people, he would be satisfied.
As a result, I didn't expect that the Xia army was so civilized, and the generals of the Xia army were both civil and military.
The two parties sat down, and upon hearing his intention, Zuo Hua did not make any secrets.
"The conflict between the Xia Kingdom and the Zheng family is irresolvable, and a winner must be decided. If the local government stays out of the matter, we will not cause more trouble. Please also ask the old gentleman to tell Xiao Zhongcheng that it is best for everyone to live in peace. But from now on, the people of the Xia Kingdom When I come to Fujian, I also ask the local officials to treat everyone equally and not to treat them harshly. Of course, my friends from Fujian will not be embarrassed if they travel on the sea in the future. As long as we abide by the rules and laws, we can go anywhere."
Cao Xuequan was really relieved to see Zuo Hua being so reasonable and kind.
"I have always heard that the Xia Kingdom is devoted to the people, and the people under its rule live and work in peace and contentment with no worries. Today, I saw that the general is compassionate. How lucky the people are! I wonder if I can travel to the Xia Kingdom?"
Zuo Hua hurriedly said: "Our country of Xia is open to the public and welcomes all friends from all over the world. The old gentleman is very talented and knowledgeable. It would be great if he would be willing to be in Linxia Kingdom and teach the younger generations."
This is the first time in Cao Xuequan's life that he has dealt with Xia Guo.
Only when they met face to face did they realize that Xia Guo's appearance was completely different from the legend.
Compare it to the smoky Ming Dynasty. The difference between superior and inferior is huge!
Cao Xuequan successfully completed his mission and returned the same day.
After receiving Xia Jun's attitude, everyone in Fujian celebrated.
Xiao Yifu even ordered the city gates to be closed, isolating the inside and outside, and became a coward.
No matter what happens between Xia Guo and the Zheng family, it has nothing to do with them in Fujian.
After solving the problem of Fujian officials, Zuo Hua and Putmans continued southward and finally arrived at the sea outside Xiamen.
During this process, the 7th Regiment of the 2nd Marine Division was also transported.
Gu No. 2 Middle School personally commanded the Seventh Regiment to land on Kinmen Island, using it as an advance base.
Zheng's hometown, Anhai Town, is already in sight.
Zheng Zhilong was sitting in his mansion, anxiously waiting for Zheng Hongkui's return.
But Zheng Hongkui did not bring back any promises from the Fujian government.
This made him understand that Zheng had been abandoned.
"Brother, the Xia army and the Dutch are approaching the city. I'm afraid that this place will be razed to the ground soon."
The situation became clear, and Zheng Hongkui also lost all his pride. When he thought that the Zheng family was about to disappear, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Looking up, how could the few warships in the bay stop the terrifying artillery of the Xia-Dutch coalition?
If the Xia and He coalition forces were only powerful with their warships, that would be it.
It just so happened that Xia State also transported marine troops over.
Since Kinmen Island can be captured, it is possible to set foot on land at any time.
Zheng's ability on land is less than one-tenth of that in the sea.
The Xia State's army fought fiercely with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and won.
Can Zheng resist it?
Above him, Zheng Zhilong looked even more desolate.
Even though this maritime tycoon has unparalleled abilities and is able to conquer all the seas, at this moment he is faced with the crisis of the building collapsing and there is nothing he can do.
"Master Marquis, I would like to see you."
The servant's report made Zheng Zhilong particularly helpless.
"This brat, do you want to bring up the old story again?"
He knew very well what Zheng Chenggong was going to say when he came to see him.
But he didn't like hearing those words.
He, Zheng Zhilong, has been so majestic all his life, will he end up in disgrace in the end?
