Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 708
Needless to say, this Dutch fleet was Batavia governor Anthony who was persecuted by his subordinates, and finally chose to submit to Daming, and agreed to Daming's request, which was one of the sincerity to be shown before becoming a vassal state of Daming, and was recruited by Daming. Conquer the enemy country.

The Dutch in this fleet are very motivated.After getting in touch with the Ming people in Lusong, they immediately rushed to Daming. Jin Yiwei sent a supervising army to board the ship, and then rushed to the country of Wa to participate in the battle against the country of Wa.

As a result, it was just in time for Yagyu Zongju to attack Naha, but the war had come to an end, and the Ming army defeated the Japanese navy.This makes the Dutch a bit regretful. If they arrived before the war, the credit would be even greater.

Hearing these words, Yagyu Muneki hanging on the bow suddenly shouted hysterically: "I knew that you Xiyi are all white-eyed wolves. Thanks to my Great Wa Kingdom being so kind to you, you even betrayed my Great Wa Kingdom. You have become a dog for the Ming Dynasty, what about your conscience..."

He was hanging on the bow of the boat, which was already eye-catching, but at this moment, a burst of yelling attracted everyone's attention.

The Dutch understood what he was saying, but no one was ashamed. They just answered him, "Why do you think we have come all the way to the Far East? You are still Tokugawa Iemitsu's Ometsu, so naive!"

In this way, Yagyu Somo's identity was also exposed.Hu Mingfeng couldn't help being overjoyed, and even caught a big fish alive. He was the right-hand man of the Japanese shogunate, somewhat similar to the position of a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Haha, what a celebration!

Afterwards, the Dutch fleet rested in Naha Port for a day, and then rushed to the Wa Kingdom to find Daming to conquer the Wa Kingdom Expeditionary Force.Naturally, the Amami Island along the way fell into Daming's hands again.

Zeng Ying is also not here, otherwise, he will probably send the Dutch fleet to the Japanese country to serve as an internal response, and then play tricks on the Japanese country.

The Dutch fleet went all the way north, and finally encountered the main force of the Ming Navy in Tsushima Fan. Only then did they know that they were late again. The Busan naval battle had already ended, and the Japanese navy had been destroyed by the Ming army.

When the Dutch fleet arrived, Zheng Zhilong, who was going south, joined forces with Zeng Ying, who was going north to make contact, at Jindo.

Afterwards, Zheng Zhilong sent a fast boat to Pidao, and then sent the news of destroying the Japanese warships and gaining complete command of the sea to the capital through the signal tower.

........................

At the beginning of September in the 19th year of Chongzhen, the concise news of the victory spread to the capital.

After Emperor Chongzhen received it, he couldn't help being very happy.

After destroying the navy of the Wa Kingdom and gaining the command of the sea, the Wa Kingdom, as an island country, has its national strength divided among the various islands, and it is no longer complete.

Although, the original idea was to attract the Korean Japanese army back, and then ambush them at sea, destroying the vital force of the Japanese army in one fell swoop.This goal, as the situation evolved, was not achieved.

However, in this situation, it is also very beneficial for Daming to have control of the sea.

At present, the country of Wa is mainly composed of four parts: Honshu Island, Shikoku Island, Kyushu Island, and North Korea.

According to the latest news, at least half of the Japanese army is in North Korea, but there are relatively few civilians who have migrated there; Very uncomfortable.

The three islands in the mainland of the Wa Kingdom are isolated from each other and cannot be supported, which also gave Daming a chance to defeat each of them.Among them, because Honshu Island is where the Tokugawa Shogunate is located, there is still a certain elite army.However, on Kyushu Island, the Japanese army is not many, and it is not difficult for Daming to conquer Kyushu Island.

As for the four countries, just ignore it!
At this point, the Wa Kingdom is actually nothing to worry about.What Daming has to do is to eat up the Wa Kingdom one bite at a time.

Jianlu and the Wa Kingdom form an alliance, hehe, so what!

Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he issued an order to send the king of Tang to see him.

When Tang Wang received the order, he probably guessed what was going on, and couldn't help being very excited. He hurried to the Forbidden City and met Emperor Chongzhen in the Wenhua Palace.

On the screen next to it hung the latest map of the Japanese kingdom. Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to the king of Tang: "Among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, I know that Qing is the most courageous. ..."

In fact, there is more than this. Emperor Chongzhen also knew that the Tang king in front of him had become Emperor Longwu in the original history. Therefore, adding these two things together, he came up with this statement.It's just that things in the original history cannot be brought up to talk about, so we can only talk about the matter of the king of Tang raising troops to serve the king.

However, it is a pity that when the king of Tang raised his troops to serve as the king, he met a group of thieves on the way to the capital, and directly killed the king of Tang, throwing away his helmet and armor.

At this time, when the king of Tang heard that Emperor Chongzhen brought this matter up, he was shocked and wanted to explain something.

Because of this incident, he was deprived of the position of vassal king by Emperor Chongzhen and imprisoned in Fengyang.Later, with the grace of the emperor, he was released and the title of feudal king was restored.Either way, it was a warning to him.

However, before he had time to explain anything, Emperor Chongzhen had already walked to the screen, pointed to the map of the country of Wa and said to him: "The good news came from the front line, my Ming Navy has completely wiped out the navy of the country of Wa, and there are no more people on the side of the country of Wa." Maybe we can support each other across the sea!"

Hearing what the emperor said, King Tang immediately attracted his attention and looked at the map of Japan.

Emperor Chongzhen continued to say to him: "This is Kyushu Island of the Japanese Kingdom. Most of the local troops have gone to North Korea, and the number of Japanese troops left on the island is very small. I intend to seal this Kyushu Island to Qing. I don’t know if you are willing to raise your own troops to go to Kyushu Island, defeat the remaining Japanese army, and then take control of Kyushu Island?”

King Tang was a little dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.
Is it because he didn't allow him before, and he still cares about serving the king?Or is it because he admired his previous military service king, so he was given a chance to train soldiers?

Your majesty, what are you thinking?
Tang Wang was a little scared, he didn't know how to reply, he was afraid of offending the emperor again.

The previous king of Zhou, but the imperial court sent troops to bring down the feudal kingdom, and then the king of Zhou went directly to the feudal state.

And when it was his turn, why did he still need to lead the army to defeat the remaining Japanese soldiers?

Tang Wang thought about this, and sweat came down. When he was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said again: "Of course, if Ruoqing is really powerless to defeat the remaining Japanese army and can't put down the feudal kingdom by himself, I will I will not sit idly by, and will definitely send troops to help you."

Hearing this, Tang Wang finally vaguely grasped why the emperor did this.

Probably because I thought that when I raised troops to serve the king before, I would feel that the emperor was incompetent and could not govern the world well. Therefore, I threw this Kyushu Island to myself and let myself experience the difficulty of governance.

There is no way to explain this matter, it can only be experienced in this way.

Thinking of this, Tang Wang couldn't help but sighed in his heart: The emperor still has a bit of grudges!In this regard in the future, we must pay attention to it!

As he was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to him again: "Of course I will not treat one more favorably than another. I can tell you that there are gold mines here and here in Kyushu Island. I don't want to share it, just When you recruit troops and buy horses, as well as the assets that cannot be taken away from Nanyang, you will pay the imperial court fees."

This is the same as that of King Zhou. The original fiefdom, including grain fields, shops and other assets, must be handed over to the court.But correspondingly, the emperor has pointed out the minerals of the fief as compensation.

The king of Tang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly bowed to accept the order.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then said to Tang Wang: "Based on the situation of Kyushu Island, you can complete the vassal before the middle of next year. In addition, I will sell the materials needed by Qing's vassal state to Qing at a low price. Qing will soon become a vassal and take control of the vassal state. By the way, if you don’t have enough money, you can go to the bank for a loan, and I will give you lower interest rates if you continue to order.”

When King Tang heard this, he was grateful in his heart, and quickly thanked him again.

Later, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had no other orders, he left the palace.

He didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts were mainly concentrated on North Korea and Liaodong. As for Kyushu Island, if he didn't want to trouble him, he left it to him.

In addition, after the promotion of steam engines and improved machines over the past few years, Daming's output, such as textiles, has shown signs of remaining.Therefore, the Kyushu Island of King Tang was the first dumping place set by Emperor Chongzhen.

It is foreseeable that the future Tang State, that is, Kyushu Island, will be very dependent on the mother country.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished dealing with this matter, he thought for a while, and planned to make Zheng Zhilong the Boss of Pidao after the official good news arrived, and transferred back to the capital to be promoted to the Deputy Governor of the Navy Governor's Mansion, responsible for the training of the navy.

Zeng Ying was transferred to be the commander-in-chief of the Denglai Navy, and Yang Zhan took over as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force against the Wa Kingdom.

After he had made up his mind, Emperor Chongzhen took out his mobile phone and initiated a video communication request to Liu Weichao.

How time flies, Liu Weichao's graduate students also graduated.With the help of Emperor Chongzhen, he published many very controversial papers.

If there is controversy, there will be fame, and the popularity will be greatly improved at once.

And at the end of the controversy, it was discovered that the content of Liu Weichao's thesis was actually correct, which immediately established his position in the study of the Ming Dynasty.At least in the research circle of the Ming Dynasty, he is very famous.

For this reason, Liu Weichao was recommended to study for a Ph.D. to continue studying the history of the Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about these things, the video was switched on.
