In the twelfth lunar month of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Kentang, who was in Fuzhou, received a certificate of victory handed over by Zheng Zhilong.

The Zheng army defeated 10,000 people from the Heyi Navy and Army, captured 720 people alive, and killed more than 1,000 Yi-level giants, burned five giant plywoods, seized two giant plywoods, and seized armor, swords, rosary, sea charts and other things. However, the front and back guns and cannons killed the corpse and was dragged away by the Yi and fell into the sea. Those who failed to cut the ranks were numerous and dared not tell them.

This is a battle where both scale and results are better than the Battle of Liaoluo Bay. Zhang Kentang's series of actions against Zheng Zhilong is very clear. Although Zheng Zhilong's letter of victory was written in the report, what about it? It was just a territorial dispute initiated by Zheng Zhilong.

To put it bluntly, it is a dog bites a dog's mouth!

The Dutch were bitten by Zheng Zhilong. Although it was impossible for them to have as many as 10,000 naval and army soldiers, it was true that their defeat was defeated.

Not only did they fail at sea, but they also ended up surrendering on land.

If Zheng Zhilong was more shameless, turned against He Yi and regarded the surrendered people in Relanzha City as prisoners, then there would be no 722 people who captured the Yi alive, but 3,000, and even more.

The surrendered Dutch not only allowed Zheng Zhilong to obtain the city of Relanzha, but also offered nearly 100 large and small artillery pieces, more than 4,000 muskets of various types, a large number of military supplies, and nearly 700,000 Dutch guilds to Zheng's army.

Does 50 Dutch gulf contain one ounce of gold? The smallest Dutch gulf is 700,000, which is the highest 130,000 taels of silver under the current gold-silver ratio.

The price comparison of gold and silver in China was once an important entry point for Europeans to make profits. In the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), when formulating the price comparison and exchange system between gold and silver coins, it was stipulated that 1 guan banknote was converted into 1,000-ciete copper coins, 1 tael of silver and 1/4 tael of gold, that is, the price comparison of gold and silver was 1: 4. By the eleventh year of Yongle (1413), the ratio of gold and silver had become 1:7.5, which was until the Longwan year. At that time, the price of gold and silver coins in Europe was 1:15! By Chongzhen, it became one to ten, and there was still a situation of one to thirteen in some places south of the Yangtze River.

This is because the southeast is the first place for foreign silver to land.

Zheng Zhilong's victory was sent to Fuzhou, and many people from the Fujian Provincial Governor's Office stared at the 700,000 Dutch gusts.

But Zhang Kentang's eyes were straight at the cannon!

This is Zheng Zhilong's document on commendation. Whether it is according to the rules of the court or the unspoken rules, the governor's yamen must share some of the numbers listed in the document.

If half of the cannons are sent to Fuzhou, there will be half of them in the junk, and there will be more than twenty cannons in total. More than four thousand muskets may only be mediocre guns - Zhang Kentang is not a mediocre, and he has a certain understanding of muskets. But even if it is a coercion gun, half of which is cut, and half of them will be cut, there will be thousands of easy-to-use ones.

With thousands of muskets and twenty large and small cannons, as long as they are well organized, they may not be able to train a powerful soldier that can fight.

With the defeat of the Central Plains War, and with the civilian army's conquest in Guanzhong, the progress of rapid progress, all the loyal and kind-hearted people of the Ming court felt a sense of urgency.

At this moment, they really felt a fatal crisis!

I smelled the smell of Daming pills.

Therefore, if you work hard, not to mention saving the Ming Dynasty, at least you will continue to do your best to survive and die. This is the thought of people like Zhang Kentang.

Just as Zeng Ying started to train Ding Yong in Dengzhou, the first thing Zhang Kentang thought of was to train an army directly controlled by him and could fight and fight.

He did not seek to train a strong soldier like Lu Xiangsheng's "Tianxiong Army", because he and Lu Xiangsheng were completely two types of people. Lu Jiutai was a warrior who could dance a hundred-pound big sword. He was brave enough to take the lead in every battle, leading by example, sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Once, the army was short of food, and the soldiers had no food for three days, and Lu Xiangsheng also had no food for three days, and he didn't even drink water: "The army had a three-day salary, but Xiangsheng also had no water. Therefore, he won the hearts of the soldiers and made contributions in the battle."

Zhang Kentang really couldn't learn this broken pillar of Ming Dynasty.

But he could learn the organizational model of Lu Xiang ascended the Tianxiong Army, but it was actually not difficult. He was to bring fellow villagers, friends, brothers, family, etc. into the army as long as there was no shortage of food and salary (at that time, Lu Xiang was promoted to Daming Prefecture, which was the biggest difference between him and Xu Du), and that army would be successful.

Such a team is often killed by one person, which can arouse the anger of most people, so the fighting spirit is very strong. Once you encounter an enemy, you will hold on to the end and you can't run away without losing your skin. However, if someone escapes first in the battle, it will also cause many people to escape, leading to the defeat of the battle, such as Zeng Guofan's troops in the later stage.

In fact, the Tianxiong Army is really a group of troops training.

However, Lu Xiangsheng was a famous prefect and gave this army a kind of legitimacy from the beginning.

After all, the Ming Dynasty did not allow people like Jiang Zhongyuan to appear.

And now Zhang Kentang and Zeng Ying, who are on the road to training, will they become Zeng Hu Zuoli of the Ming Dynasty? No one can say that.

What can only be confirmed is that the two of them are moving towards that "glorious" avenue!

In Anping City, Zheng Zhilong certainly didn't know Zhang Kentang's plan. Suddenly, he heard that he was riding a fast horse in the cold wind, and only brought Wuqi to him. When Anping rushed to see him, he was busy asking people to open the middle door to greet him.

After entering the hall, they sat down and said a few words of politeness, and Zhang Kentang said his purpose directly.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned when he heard this. He thought that Zhang Kentang had something important to do, but he didn't expect that this would happen. He learned from Lu Xiangsheng, fellow villagers, friends, brothers, family, etc. Is this going to be the "Zeng Hu Zuo Li" of the Ming Dynasty?

That agreed in one go.

"Don't worry, the money will be paid in this time, and there will be no problem in the artifacts."

Zhang Kentang wanted to bring in the team, which was a good thing, just like Zeng Ying in Denglai. If this army in Minzhong (Denglai) was formed, it would not only increase Zhang Kentang's weight in the Southern Ming court in the future, but also increase his influence in the court, right? Why not do it?

As for whether it also added the power of the Southern Ming court, Zheng Zhilong didn't care at all. Because the combat power of the Southern Ming court in history was too weak. It would be good to make up for it!

In the blink of an eye, he decided to give Zhang Kentang some good goods.

But this time Zhang Kentang came to Anping, not only to say this, nor to express his attitude to Zheng Zhilong. The new army's troops were definitely not aimed at Zheng's family. He also wanted to borrow some instructors from Zheng Zhilong to train people hard.

"The army of the Eight Fujian Army has been abandoned, and the sound of swords and weapons has not been heard for a long time. People like Yu Gong (Yu Dayou) are hard to find. I also want to ask the General Rong for three or five trustworthy and brave people to train Ding Yong on his behalf."

Otherwise, if you teach the new army to those bad people in Fuzhou, you will only get a bad army.

"This is easy to say, this is easy to say. Lord Zhongcheng, don't worry, Zheng must pick the elites to prepare for their needs." Zheng Zhilong was about to laugh out loud. Zhang Kentang used a mouse as a warehouse manager. Isn't this a chance to hit nails inside?

"It's too much..." He was decent. After a long discussion, Zhang Kentang and his group settled down, and someone around him said.

Today, Zhang Kentang's figure is so square.
