So the next day, at the moment when the Jinbang was on the list, Zhao Hao bid farewell to his grandfather and prepared to take a boat to Tianjin directly from Qilizhuang Wharf.

Wengshanpo is part of Tonghui River. You can go to Tongzhou and enter Lu River and go directly to Bohai Bay. Therefore, although Zhao Liben was still the princess, he still lived in Qilizhuang after entering Beijing and did not return to his Zhao family Hutong.

Because it's convenient to run away here.

He also encouraged Zhao Shouzheng to live in Qilizhuang with him, but unfortunately, Mr. Zhao has important matters and cannot be with him... It's for the Emperor to tell you, don't think about it.

As Chief Zhan Han, Zhao Shouzheng naturally could not miss today's ceremony, but Zhao Hao had already said goodbye to his father yesterday. In addition to instructing his father to take medicine on time and practice his Wudang Changchun Gong, he also secretly gave his father a thousand condoms.

Alas, Mr. Zhao is really worried about his father.

As for grandpa, he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

"I'm so anxious to go back, not just to avoid the scenery in Beijing, right?" Zhao Liben asked lightly.

"Yes, the situation in Luzon is very dangerous. Since the decree has been completed, it is better to go over and deal with it as soon as possible." Zhao Hao nodded. The efficiency of the one-man order is high. After the father-in-law assigned it, the department quickly issued a letter of office to inherit the position of Governor General of Luzon and rebuild the Governor General of Luzon.

In order to provide necessary assistance to the Governor General of Luzon, Zhao Hao and the Nanhai Group also obtained the power to act cheaply in Nanyang, including limited immigration permits, so that Luzon can better play the role of barriers and block the heavenly dynasties from coming to the east and west.

At this point, the obstacles in the Ming Dynasty have been cleared, and Mr. Zhao can let go of his hands and feet in Nanyang. However, it cannot...but there is no need to tell the old man the reason.

Zhao Li himself was a mature person. He could see that he had something to do, so he patted his grandson on the shoulder and encouraged him: "The name Luzon is a good one, and we are strong in our Zhao family! You will definitely be able to lay a foundation there. Do your best. In the future, grandpa will be there to retire!"

"There is only a little better than the wild land." Zhao Hao said with a wry smile.

"So what do you want you to do well? Use all your abilities and create another Luzon miracle! Our old Zhao family can attack and defend when they retreat!" Zhao Liben held his grandson's shoulder hard, full of expectations.

"Grandpa, where are you going to attack?" Zhao Hao was sweating.

"Haha, who can tell the future is accurate?" Zhao Liben laughed out loud at first, and was so crazy that he stopped laughing and stopped teasing him. "Okay, don't worry, you are not letting you be a traitor, but you are so scared that your little face turned pale."

"Take care, grandpa." Zhao Hao bid farewell to his grandfather as if he had escaped and got on the boat and left along the river.

Two days later, Zhao Hao boarded the Pingjiang River in Caofeidian, which had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he entered his exclusive luxury cabin, Zhao Hao threw himself on the big sofa and asked Chen Huaixiu: "Is there any letter from Luzon and does Xiaojing have any letter from?"

"Luzon has a letter, but Xiaojing doesn't." Chen Huaixiu replied softly. She asked Zhao Hao to pillow on her knees, and while pressing his temples, she reported the news about Luzon.

When Sister Ma was away, Sister Chen naturally became Secretary Ma.

"I received a letter from Paul Tang the day before yesterday. He had arrived at the Manila Merchant House with Liu Xuesheng and began to contact overseas Chinese. But what was more troublesome is that the Spaniards began to shrink their troops to Manila and had already negotiated with the indigenous people, obviously preparing to concentrate their efforts to solve overseas Chinese. So Paul Tang is very confused now. Any extreme actions of their actions may stimulate the Spaniards to take action in advance, but wouldn't it be a wait for death if they were not prepared?"

"Yes." Zhao Hao closed his eyes comfortably, feeling his tense nerves relaxed a lot.

He is considerate and good at understanding people's hearts and skills, which is why he likes his elder sister.

"Have Jinke sent a fleet over to warn the Spaniards?" Zhao Hao asked lazily again.

"I went there last month and followed the instructions of the prince, and told the Spanish authorities that if they dared to infringe on our Ming people, they would be regarded as going to war with our security area, and they would definitely retaliate with a hundred times!" Chen Huaixiu was not a professional secretary after all, so he quickly added: "It may be because of this reason that Spain retreated most of the troops sent to attack Mindanao and Java."

"Well..." Zhao Hao nodded and said softly: "I hope they can be afraid..."

The next moment, he sat up suddenly, slapped himself with his hand, which scared Chen Huaixiu.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just reminding myself, never underestimate these beasts!" Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and forced a smile and said, "It's because I underestimate their cruelty and arrogance that I fell into such a dilemma."

"..." Chen Huaixiu nodded. As a senior executive of the group, she knew what Zhao Hao meant.

When he sent a fleet of global voyages in the first year of Wanli, Zhao Hao's judgment was that the Spaniards had already tasted the sweetness of the sailing trade.

Moreover, the natives of Luzon only know how to chew betel nuts and bask in the sun. When they are hungry, they climb trees and pick bananas. When they are thirsty, they climb trees and pick coconuts. They are too lazy to do any work and can't do it.

This is understandable. In such a superior natural environment, you are born to be raised and you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. Why do you have to work harder and more tired?

According to the information analysis of the mall, if there were no overseas Chinese in Manila, the Spaniards would return overnight to a primitive society where there was money to buy food, vegetables, shoes and other daily necessities, and there were no barbers, tailors, shoemakers, and carpenters.

Zhao Hao optimistically judged that as long as he did not provoke them, the Spaniards should tolerate overseas Chinese settled in Manila. Only when Luzon was about to become a Chinese country would he be unable to bear it.

So he approved the Global Voyage Plan and also asked Zhang Xiaojing and Lin Feng to join the fleet.

At that time, Zhao Hao's wishful thinking was to take advantage of the facts and reality of the Spanish while the trade was still under the honeymoon period, and see if there were any available places for their outrageous colonies. Can we create some opportunities to disrupt the enemy's rear when we go to war with the Spanish in the future.

The situation was much beyond his expectations. Before the Far Voyage Fleet left Asia, the Spaniards couldn't help but clean Manila!

Zhao Hao immediately sat down with wax.

Spain is not a weak cock like Portugal who is strong outside and fucks at the same time. They are now the most powerful country in Europe and regard themselves as the most powerful empire in the world!

Their confidence is also reasonable, because they now have more than 25 million square kilometers of territory and control more than 30 million people!

The ambitious Spanish King Philip II has a superb navy and army, and most importantly, he has strong troops and sufficient reserves!

Not only did they have much more population in Europe than Portugal. More importantly, in the vast New Spain, that is, the American colonies, there are more than tens of millions of people who have been basically domesticated! The colonies still have extremely strong financial resources. These executioners who destroyed the Americas do not need to call on European troops and can form a powerful fleet at any time and attack Asia one after another!

The newly born Jiangnan Group and the Coast Guard Fleet still need time to grow and grow before they can have the ability to challenge the world's strongest, even at their doorstep.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhao Hao is reluctant to go to war with the Spaniards for a long time.

And once the war begins with the Spaniards, will the Portuguese, who have just signed a shameful treaty, take advantage of the situation and wait for an opportunity to take revenge?

What's even more troublesome is that now he has completely lost contact with the Far Voyage Fleet, and he doesn't even know where they are.

Once a war with Spain begins, it will definitely not be as simple as a war with Portugal. It may very likely turn into a protracted tug-of-war!

Starting from the west coast of North Africa, we entered the territory of the Spaniards, and then went west to the Americas, and it was a tightly defended colony of the Spanish. Once the two sides entered a state of war, Xiao Jing and Lin Feng’s global fleet would likely become the targets of Spanish hunting. This prey that came to the door was not only an excellent target of revenge, but also a top bargaining chip that forced the enemy to bow their heads. How could it be unreasonable?

Even if the Spaniards did not realize this, once the Portuguese learned of the war between the two sides, they would definitely remind the Spaniards as soon as possible! The trick of killing people with a knife is not the only Chinese who can play it.

Send someone to chase the long-distance fleet back? There is no chance. Xiao Zhuzi and the others left Sanya in late September of the first year of Wanli. Now they have been sailing outside the territory for more than half a year! Where can you chase after it? Where can you catch up?

These are all things Zhao Hao has to worry about.

As a result, a dilemma was formed where the Luzon expatriates could not be protected without war. The war would bring danger to the long-distance fleet and that our side was not really prepared.

Of course there is another option, which is to evacuate the overseas Chinese as the Spanish wishes...

This is a path that Zhao Hao has been thinking about repeatedly these days.

But unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhao Hao definitely doesn't want to take this path! Because this is the first battle for the coast guard to go abroad. Not only are the overseas Chinese in Luzon watching, but millions of overseas Chinese in the entire Southeast Asia also watching, as well as many countries of all sizes in Southeast Asia watching!

The first appearance of the show will be a great blow to overseas Chinese. It will also seriously shake the perception of "our Celestial Empire is invincible" in Southeast Asia. I don't know how much price it will cost to recover in the future.

So from a strategic perspective, we either fight resolutely or don’t make a move. Anyway, we have been missing for more than a hundred years, and it is not even a few more years. Evacuation of overseas Chinese is an extremely bad choice...

"There are not many Han people in Luzon, right? I heard that there are up to 20,000 or 30,000 people. It seems that Java is the main place where overseas Chinese live." Seeing Zhao Hao so entangled, Chen Huaixiu said a little confused: "Are you too tight on them?"

"Maybe..." Even my dear sister Huai Xiu, Zhao Hao did not explain to her what was the Dalun Mountain tragedy, let alone what was the Hongxi tragedy, Indonesia's anti-Chinese... and the blood and tears history of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia?

What weighed on his heart was not only the lives of the 20,000 Chinese in Manila, but also the unjust souls of tens of millions of overseas Chinese who died in previous massacres in another time and space!

Since he decided to draw his sword for overseas Chinese and let Nanyang be the barrier of the Ming Dynasty forever, he must not sit idly by and watch the tragedy happen, nor can he be once!
Chapter completed!
