Daming Military Empire

Chapter 202
After Amakusa Shiro occupied the two cities of Tomioka and Shimabara, he has basically gained a foothold. It is impossible for the Tokugawa shogunate to wipe out it in a short time. Zhu Cijiong decided to let them consume first. exhausted.

Of course, the rebel forces of Daming and Houjin continued to make troubles in Liaodong, which accelerated the demise of Ming Dynasty. Now Dongying still lacks such a force, so Zhu Cijiong will naturally be troubled. It's not too difficult for him.

However, he really didn't know how the shogunate came to be. Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong was in Chixian. This guy started in Dongying, so he should be familiar with these things, so Zhu Cijiong immediately called Zheng Zhilong to come to see him.

Zheng Zhilong actually wanted to go back to Jinling a long time ago, but the Netherlands and Spain hadn't reacted yet. Naturally, he, the person in charge of the negotiations, couldn't run away. Just as Chixian was about to build a naval base, he was arrested by the emperor and became a supervisor.

It is not difficult for him to be the supervisor. When he first ran from Dongying to Dongfan, he built many strongholds and cities. He is very familiar with ports, warehouses, military camps, restaurants, inns, and entertainment facilities. He has also dabbled in it. There are also docks for repairing warships, factories for casting artillery and shells, etc. Professionals from the Ministry of Industry are in charge of it, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

It's just that the Nandaying naval base is really too big. According to the scale of the city wall, it can accommodate nearly 200 million people, which is even bigger than Jinling City!Even Zheng Zhilong, who is used to seeing the big world, was shocked by this scale. He has traveled all over Southeast Asia, and he has never seen such a huge city in other places. I am afraid that Dongdaying next to the capital can match it. This is a comparison.

Your majesty is very bold, regardless of his young age, everything he does is majestic, such as the great war in Liaodong, the military factory in the capital, the Rixinglong Company, and the Ming Dynasty Western Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd. , One after another, they are all frightening to death!
Zheng Zhilong is very glad that he followed the right person. There are very few such emperors in all dynasties. He is definitely a wise king who will last forever!Working under this kind of Mingjun, he feels particularly motivated, so although the things in Nandaying are cumbersome, he doesn't find it troublesome at all. He inspects various construction sites all day long as a prince, and he is very busy.

The emperor summoned him suddenly, and he thought there was a letter from Holland or Spain, so he ran over quickly, but it turned out that it was not the case at all, and after a while of greetings, Zhu Cijiong asked directly: "How did the general of the shogunate come from Dongying? "

Zheng Zhilong's heart suddenly became excited when he heard the words. Zhu Cijiong had told his youngest son Tagawa Qizaemon that he would play for the entire shogun. He didn't expect it to start so soon. He thought about it and said concisely. He replied: "If you go back to the emperor, this general of the shogunate was actually appointed by the puppet emperor of Dongpu. As long as he becomes the most powerful daimyo in Dongpu, he can ask the emperor to make him the general of conquering barbarians, and then the shogunate can be formed."

It's easy to say, is it so easy to become the most powerful daimyo?Also, where did the name come from?Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "What happened to the daimyo?"

How can I become a famous person? "

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, the name is actually a local prince. If you were in the Warring States period of Dongying, as long as you are strong, you can grab a piece of land.
It is a daimyo, but now the Tokugawa shogunate is too powerful, and no place dares to mess around, so it may be a bit difficult to come up with a daimyo. "

Zhu Cijiong said proudly: "Don't worry about this, the power of the Tokugawa shogunate will soon weaken. I will try my best to train him a peasant rebel army, and I won't kill him if I don't believe it!"

This is a secret, Zhu Cijiong is naturally impossible to spread it everywhere, Zheng Zhilong is still in the dark, he boldly asked: "Dare to ask the emperor what is going on with the peasant uprising army?"
? ”

Zhu Cijiong laughed and said: "Aren't the Catholics in Feiqian country rebelling? I think they lack weapons and ammunition, so they seized it from the Dutch and pirate Liu Xiang this time."
He sent all the muskets and blunderbuss to him, and also sent him 12 Dutch cannons. Now they had a good time, and the Tokugawa shogunate had to send heavy troops to suppress it. Now Shimabara Castle has assembled [-] With the army of the Ten Thousand Shogunate, how much strength does the Tokugawa Shogunate have? "

Zheng Zhilong immediately said excitedly: "Great, as long as his 12 troops are consumed, the Tokugawa shogunate probably won't be able to suppress the local names, and Dongying will definitely come back at that time."
To the Warring States Period. "

Zhu Cijiong was so proud of himself, of course, they were seriously ill, and how could Da Ming take advantage of it, but there was no need to tell Zheng Zhilong about this, and he continued to ask: "I heard that your father-in-law, Tian Chuan Yuhuang, is still a vassal, what about that?" What kind of officer is it?"

Zheng Zhilong quickly explained: "That is, the retainers of the Matsuura family in the northwest of Hizen Kingdom, who are in charge of weapons, and there are not many officials."

Whether the official is big or not is not the point, Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "Can a retainer be a big name?"

Here we come, here we come, Zheng Zhilong said excitedly: "As long as the retainers are strong enough, they can become famous in turn."

Sure enough, Zhu Cijiong said bluntly: "That's enough. How many people are needed to kill that Matsuura family? By the way, does your father-in-law have a son?"

Zheng Zhilong was so excited, he quickly replied: "My father-in-law has no son, and the youngest son Tagawa Qizaemon was adopted to inherit his position. As for killing the Matsuura family

1 horses are enough. "

But the emperor is ruthless enough. Fortunately, his father-in-law has no sons, otherwise his brother-in-laws would probably be snapped by the emperor.

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while, and then continued to ask: "How many Dongying people do Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu, and Gan Hui have under their command?"

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help scolding himself as a stupid pig, they were all his subordinates, why didn't he think of this, there are many people from Dongying over there, they quickly replied: "

The three of them have about [-] Dongying people under their command. "

2 people are enough, but there is still one problem, Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "Which of the three of them can speak Japanese?"

Zheng Zhilong replied without thinking: "What Hong Xu and Gan Hui said is okay."

That's it, Zhu Cijiong immediately decided: "Then let them change the name of Dongying, and immediately lead [-] Dongying people to Jilong Island for practice, and go to Dongying as soon as the time comes.
Your father-in-law's whole name is Dangdang. "

Zheng Zhilong naturally agreed with joy, and now it's all right, his eldest son will be the Zhennan King of Daming in the future, and the youngest son will be the Shogun of Dongying in the future. Old Zheng's family is like purple smoke from the ancestral grave!
Zhu Cijiong was still busy at the moment, so he didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he just sent him away. The New Year's Eve was coming soon, and he was going back to the capital, and the things here hadn't been arranged yet.

The bastions and forts in Xiamen, Quanzhou, Penghu, Chixian, and Jiulong have all been completed, and recruits from Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces have almost been sent over, but the guarding generals have not yet been decided.

Zhu Cijiong thought about it for a while. The Zheng family is already huge enough, and they cannot be allowed to expand any longer. Although Zheng Chenggong is a famous patriotic general, when a person's power reaches a certain level, even if he has no idea, his Relatives and friends will also have ideas. In order to avoid getting stuck in the future, Zhu Cijiong decided to start training Daming's own naval generals.

For the 30 new recruits this time, six generals need to be promoted. The generals of the Zheng family already have five generals and one admiral, so they are naturally not suitable for further promotion. He screened the generals of the Daming Navy and selected some For those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it should be almost here by now.

Zhu Cijiong called Cao Huachun in and issued an order: "

Feng Gao Yingyue was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army on the southeast defense line, leading [-] troops to be responsible for the defense of Chikan Castle, Zeelandia Castle and nearby forts;
Feng Zhang Yongchan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the left army on the southeast defense line, leading [-] troops to be responsible for the defense of Xiamen Castle and nearby forts;
Feng Wang Shangzhong was the commander-in-chief of the right army on the southeast defense line, leading [-] troops to be responsible for the defense of Penghu Castle and nearby forts;
Feng Wu Zhenyuan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former army on the southeast defense line, leading [-] troops to be responsible for the defense of Kowloon Castle and nearby forts;
Feng Chen Mengzhu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the rear army on the southeast defense line, leading [-] troops to be responsible for the defense of Quanzhou Castle and nearby forts;
Zou Weiqing was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army on the southeast defense line, with [-] troops in charge of the defense of Danshui Castle, Chicken Coop Castle and nearby forts;

In order to save the cost of food and grass transshipment, the commander-in-chief of each town only needs to send 1 troops to garrison the castles and forts at ordinary times, and the rest of the troops are all assembled at the Naval Base of Nandaying for training. "

His general idea is simple, but Cao Huachun is too busy. The canonization of six people cannot be written on one imperial decree. It must be divided into six parts, one for each person. Idle, the southeast defense line still needs a governor, this candidate is really quite a headache.

In the future, the South Camp, the core of the southeast line of defense, will not only be the largest naval base, but also the largest trading port in Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that it will not be possible to send a general. The memorial just arrived, and Zhu Cijiong looked at it.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a suitable candidate.

Nan Juyi, courtesy name Sishou, a Jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli, served successively as the head of the Ministry of Punishment, the right deputy Qiandu Yushi, the left and right ministers, and the right servant of the household department. Later, because the eunuch party was in power, he resigned and retired. He defeated the Dutch invaders in Penghu. He is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. He is quite familiar with the southeast waters and has enough grades. He is suitable to be the governor of the southeast.

Therefore, Zhu Cijiong decisively issued a decree: "Nan Juyi, the right servant of the original household department, is appointed as the governor of the southeast, responsible for the response of the southeast defense line, and the commanders of the six towns are all subordinate."

At this point, Dongfan's work is over, and he can finally return to court as a teacher.
