Daming Military Empire

Chapter 384 King's Landing Star City
It’s cold winter in November, the south of Daming has already been stricken by cold winds, and the north of Daming is even more icy and snowy, but the Xingcheng Port in Nanyang is still warm as spring. Zhu Cijiong is standing on the bow of the super giant ship Daming wearing a neat dress, Feeling the warm sea breeze, the heart is very comfortable.

This time the trip to Europe went smoothly. He only spent a lot of lip service in exchange for the alliance treaties between Ming Dynasty, Spain and Portugal. Now the anti-Habsburg alliance powers have been pinned down in Northern Europe, and the Far East will soon It is about to become the world of Da Ming, and by then, how powerful Da Ming will be!
Just when he was full of pride and was about to plagiarize a classic poem from later generations and forcefully write it, a pair of jade hands appeared on his shoulders. Empress Qin Mingyue put a black cloak embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons on his shoulders, and slightly reprimanded him. Said: "Your Majesty, why did you come out to blow the wind again? The sea breeze is bitter and the humidity is heavy. If you blow too much, you will catch a cold."

Zhu Cijiong put on his cloak obediently, and said with a smile: "Hehe, we will soon arrive at Xingcheng Port. I want to see how magnificent the four major fleets of the Ming Navy gather together. Thousands of warships are rare to gather together. Empress Dowager Don't you want to see it?"

Qin Mingyue glared at him slightly, then spat softly: "You know how to fight and kill, you should think about how to explain it to Sister Anna when you go back."

After all, he turned around and drifted away.

Zhu Cijiong was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately frowned and thought hard, oh, it was really troublesome, because he left in too haste, and because he was worried that Princess Anna's thin body would not be able to bear the fatigue of the journey, so he didn't take her with him. I'm afraid I will be blamed to death this time!

Rows of Jinyiwei masters standing beside him with knives are all ears and eyesight. Naturally, they all heard the conversation between the queen and the emperor. At this moment, all of them suppressed their smiles and looked into the distance. They dare not look at the embarrassment of the emperor. .

Not long after the fleet moved forward, the huge Xingcheng Port was finally in sight. Zhu Cijiong stretched out his hand, took the telescope from Cao Huachun, and looked in the direction of Xingcheng Port.

At this time, more than 1000 warships of the Nanyang Navy and the South China Sea Fleet have been neatly lined up on both sides of Xingcheng Port. Covered by dense battleships, the scene was extremely spectacular.

Zhu Cijiong glanced at the Beiyang Navy and the Beihai Fleet in the left and right rear again. There were more than 1000 warships, and they were slowly advancing in a neat formation. What is the concept of the strait, and what does it feel like to have the entire strait covered by densely packed warships?
Zhu Cijiong didn't know how other people would feel. He only felt that his heart was full of pride. With so many warships and such a powerful navy, in the Far East, who would Ming be afraid of? At this moment, he had a desire to go to war immediately. Let's start, at sea Da Ming is ready for the battle for hegemony!
Just when he was in full swing, the Daming sailed into the waters between the Nanyang Navy and the South China Sea Fleet. The flag bearers on all the warships on both sides raised their command flags at the same time. All the soldiers knelt on the deck at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the emperor, long live, long live, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Cijiong nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, let me be flat."

The flag-bearer on the Daming quickly issued a semaphore, followed by another mountain call: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then, with a "wow", 20 soldiers stood up at the same time.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong pointed the telescope at the port directly in front of him. There were Zheng Zhilong, generals of various Nanyang armies, senior officials of Jiaozhi and Nichinan provinces, and Donghu, Siam, Annan and Zhan The vassal kings and high-ranking officials of the four kingdoms in the city, he just wanted to see the expressions of those vassal kings.

After searching for a while, he finally found those vassal kings and subordinate kings among the crowd who got up in a hurry. At this time, they were all looking at the sea with terrified faces. Their expressions had gone beyond the scope of submission, but were filled with reverence and respect. , even afraid, Daming is really too powerful!

The reason why Zhu Cijiong recruited them was to let them see the strength of Ming Dynasty, to make them afraid, and to make them afraid to rebel. Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Next, there was another wave of ostentation, the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei rushed down from the battleship like dumplings, guarding the entire port tightly, and then there were rows of eunuchs and court ladies. The whole boarding process lasted for nearly an hour. Well, those vassal kings and subordinate kings have long been frightened and their hands and feet are weak, how dare they give birth to the slightest rebellious heart.

After the welcome at the port was over, Zhu Cijiong sat on a dragon chariot, and under the heavy protection of the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei, he walked slowly towards the Nanyang Governor's Mansion. Both sides of the street were already crowded with merchants from Ming Dynasty and other countries, and they knelt for a while and shouted long live , exclamation, cheers endlessly.

However, Zhu Cijiong is not in the mood to pay attention to these people at the moment, he still has a lot of things to arrange.

He will also meet the vassal kings and kings of various countries, and urge them to open courses to obtain scholars and promote dragon coins;
He will also meet officials from Jiaozhi and Nichinan to encourage them to develop production and improve people's livelihood;
More importantly, he will also meet with the generals of various legions in Nanyang to arrange the next major action.

After entering the Nanyang Governor's Mansion, Zhu Cijiong didn't rest for a moment, but directly asked Zheng Zhilong to lead him to the big meeting room of the Governor's Mansion. At this time, the meeting room was full of senior generals of Ming Dynasty, including:
Qin Liangyu, Commander-in-Chief of the First Corps of the Imperial Guard;
Cao Wenzhao, commander of the Guanning Army;

Dongjiang Army Commander Mao Wenlong;

Qin Gongming, commander of the Dingliao Army;

Li Mingfu, Commander of the Wuwei Army;

Ma Xianglin, Commander-in-Chief of the Second Army Corps of the Frontier Guard;

Huang Long, commander of the Beiyang Navy;

Zheng Zhihu, commander of the Nanyang Navy;
Yang Geng, commander of the North Sea Fleet;
Zheng Xing, commander of the South China Sea Fleet;

You Shilu, commander of the Siam Army;
Wang Xuebing, Commander of the Donghu Legion;
Wang Shiqin, Commander of the Annan Army;
There are also Jin Yiwei Commander Wang Zhengnan and Zhennan Wang Shizi Zheng Chenggong.

As soon as Zhu Cijiong and Zheng Zhilong entered, all the generals immediately stood up straight, like a guard of honor waiting for inspection.

Looking at the shining generals in the room, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but nodded with a smile. He first let Zheng Zhilong to the lower left, and then took the main seat, and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, sit down."

With a sound of "wow", all the generals sat down together, but each of them still held their heads high and their faces solemn. Although there were only a dozen people present, they gave people the feeling of thousands of troops!

Zhu Cijiong nodded in satisfaction again, and then said to Zheng Zhilong: "Zheng Aiqing, has there been any movement in Batavia's United Fleet recently?"

Zheng Zhilong immediately replied in a respectful voice: "Back to the emperor, they didn't make much movement, but every time they sent warships to escort the merchant ships, making it impossible for Shi Daxuan and the others. Recently, their merchant ships have been coming and going more and more frequently. It's getting less and less."

Hearing this, Zhu Cijiong pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Wang Zhengnan: "Come to Xian, send someone to keep a close watch on their treasure ship."

Wang Zhengnan immediately clasped his hands and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Cijiong turned to Zheng Zhilong again and said, "Inform Shi Daxuan that their treasure ship must not be allowed to return to the European continent. If necessary, the South China Sea Fleet can be sent to help intercept it!"

Zheng Zhilong heard this and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, is this going to war?"

Zhu Cijiong nodded slightly, and then said sternly: "Hmph, this money belongs to Daming, they don't want to transport it back to Europe!"
