Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 522 The Power of King Ying
The Ming Dynasty Global Fleet was more than 200 nautical miles away from Edo Bay when it encountered a Ming ship.This ship is obviously a warship, but it is not the regular shape of the Ming Dynasty Navy. Its tonnage is not large, with a displacement of only two to three hundred tons. It is made of wood and iron, with sails and steam engines and propellers. It can be regarded as an armored frigate .The flags flying on the mast are the flag of Ming Dynasty and the flag of Dongying Xuanfu Division.

"Is this the navy of the Dongying Fan Army?" Bai Mingxiu was rather curious.

The Ming Dynasty military system is a very unique system, and there are still great differences between different Xuanfu divisions and Xuanwei divisions.Today, the two vassal armies of the Ming Dynasty are the best and strongest places, which are the Mengmen Xuanwei Division and the Dongying Xuanfu Division.There is a tossing king Wu Min on the side of Bangladesh and Myanmar. He used the Burmese vassal army to take down Bangladesh before, and now he has started training Bangladeshis to join the army.This guy may have to build a [-] to [-] Mengmen Fan army within three to five years.

The condition of the Dongying Fan Army is actually better than that of the Meng Buran Fan Army, it is close to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and the Zheng family, as the main benefactor of the Fan Army, has invested a lot.After Ying Wang Zheng Sen came to Japan, he has successively formed nine brigades of the Dongying Fan Army Army, and even invested in the purchase of small warships from Daming Jiangnan Shipyard and Jinzhou Shipyard, forming a fan army composed of more than ten small ships navy.

Unexpectedly, Ying Wang Zheng Sen himself was on this armored frigate.Bai Mingxiu, as the "emperor" was very novel, and he even bowed to others first.

Zheng Sen didn't show any arrogance or negligence towards Wang Kai, a rising star in the navy who commanded the global fleet, and he paid back respectfully.

"The king of hard work has opened the general. This time, the global fleet has successfully circled the world. To show off our Ming Dynasty's prestige, the general has made great achievements."

Bai Mingxiu was also reserved: "King Ying is too famous."

Zheng Chenggong said again: "The coming of the Global Fleet this time is a very good opportunity to solve the situation in Japan, so I came to the sea to wait for the general, hoping to go to Edo together."

Bai Mingxiu respectfully said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zheng Chenggong commented: "Since the first year of Guangfu, this king came to Dongying under the order of the sage, with the task of destroying the Japanese Japanese nation, setting up Kyushu Island as a base, training the Dongying Fan Army of the Ming Dynasty, and dismantling its feudal order, and establishing a Ming dynasty. The new order at the center has been quite effective in the past two years. Now that Kyushu and Shikoku and the second island are all under the control of our Xuanfu Division, and our army has occupied most of the land in Kansai on Honshu Island, the Tokugawa Shogunate is already in turmoil. I can't take care of myself. The land governed by the Xuanfu Division, all the vassals who were loyal to the shogunate or the daimyo and refused to submit to our Ming Dynasty were basically eradicated, and the entire shogunate system also changed. In the land of the Xuanfu Division, we It has begun to implement the way of self-management by farmers on a large scale, and has initially established agricultural cooperatives. Although the process is difficult, the future is promising. The Xuanfu Department does not impose restrictions on the people of Dongying, so they are encouraged to work in business. Especially in the land of Kitakyushu , It has developed rapidly in the past two years, business travel has converged, and it has become quite prosperous."

Bai Mingxiu asked: "King Ying has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. It should be easy to destroy the Edo shogunate by sending his troops straight to Huanglong. I don't know why he didn't do this?"

Zheng Chenggong said: "It's easy to destroy the shogunate and all the samurai, but this is tantamount to rebuilding a country on a piece of wasteland. Moreover, there are still many Dongying people who are not interested in the Xuanfu Division or our Ming court." Without trust, the more successful the Xuanfu Division is, the better off the people will be, and the easier the Xuanfu Division's work will be after Japan is unified in the future."

With a slightly scheming and sinister expression, he said with a smile: "Over the past year, we have tried to smuggle cheap grain from Luzon to the shogunate-controlled area on a large scale, which has seriously damaged local production. The life of local farmers has become more and more difficult. The samurai have increased their exploitation of farmers, so there have been many civil unrest in the area controlled by the shogunate. In addition, more and more people from Dongying have joined the Xuanfu Division. Among them, they were poor in the past, but have basic education Most of the lower-class feudal vassals and petty bourgeois who got rich through business and industry. They have almost recognized the situation, knowing that the Ming Dynasty ruled Dongying is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way out to follow the shogunate, so it is better to simply seek a job in the Xuanfu Department."

Bai Mingxiu nodded. It was conceivable that the shogunate and daimyos were unable to defend against Ming's attack, and the strength of the Ming army had been completely and thoroughly imprinted in everyone's minds.Unless Da Ming voluntarily gives up, it is impossible for Da Ming to leave Japan.Then the future ruler must be Daming, Dongying Xuanfu Division and the Zheng family behind it.If you want to stand out, you must stand in the right team.In particular, this group of people who do not have much resources and status are more interested in improving their social status by standing in the right line.

Zheng Chenggong concluded: "The reaction of the shogunate is like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand. If we don't beat them, they will shrink back, pretending that we don't exist, and strictly prohibiting any communication between the two parties. But how could they really However, there are still many people who went to Xuanfu Division's territory. After more than two years of operation, I believe that the Dongying people have seen the general trend clearly and will basically obey, so they did not allow the Tokugawa Shogunate to continue to exist. It is necessary to go down. It just so happens that you are here, taking advantage of my powerful fleet at the peak of the Ming Dynasty, to overwhelm Edo Bay, force the general Tokugawa Iezuna to hand over power, abolish the shogunate, abolish the emperor, and completely let the Xuanfu Division control Dongying."

Bai Mingxiu finally understood that Zheng Chenggong wanted the Daming Global Fleet to make a background board so that he could pick peaches by himself.

However, Bai Mingxiu didn't have any objections. As early as the beginning, he promised Zheng Chenggong that Dongying would be a reward for the overall situation of the Zheng family. Many industries gain economic benefits.

Now the Zheng family has achieved many benefits. As the King of Ying, Zheng Chenggong took political benefits, while the Zheng family, such as Zheng Cilang, went into business. The Yanping Group, which is involved in the trade between Dongying to North Korea and to the mainland, is already a strong competitor of large state-owned trading companies such as Dayang Company, with an annual profit of one million taels.

The Zheng family also purchased land, especially industrial and commercial land, in some towns under the rule of the Xuanfu Division of Dongying. They have become the number one real estate developer in Dongying, and their characteristics of chaebolism are becoming more and more obvious.As a result, when Bai Mingxiu saw the relevant reports, he was a little uncertain whether this was correct.
