Chongzhen Undergraduates

This time, there are more than 500 students brought out for training, all of them are fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, and all of them have studied in the academy for a full year.In other words, this is the first batch of naval officers formally trained by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian had high hopes for these people, Chen Yonghua did not dare to be careless, he knew that the consequences would be serious if he made a mistake.Judging from Chen Yonghua's analysis of the court situation in the past two years, the Ming emperor seems to be more interested in maritime affairs.He had secretly calculated that the money spent by the imperial court on the navy was almost equal to that of the army.

This discovery made Chen Yonghua so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights, but he endured it and didn't tell anyone. In the absence of recovery in the north, no one would believe this kind of argument.

Chen Yonghua's discovery is correct. Judging from the performance, in the past two years, Ming Dynasty has been rectifying the army as always, recuperating and recuperating.However, Zhu Youjian hardly expanded the army, but simply changed the establishment.

On the contrary, the navy continued to expand, and the two major navy alone expanded to 20 people.It may be because everyone habitually counts the Marine Corps as the Army, so no one thinks there is anything wrong.

Chen Yonghua has a habit, he is good at deducing things from details.The number of shipyards expanded by the imperial court and the enrollment scale of the Shipbuilding Academy allow him to infer the scale of future maritime affairs.

In a word: the scale that the emperor wants is far greater than Ming's needs for maritime affairs.

He, Chen Yonghua, is a genius in intelligence.

Chen Yonghua checked all the tents one by one, and then went to the military doctor to get his own soup and drink it, and then started to take out a small notebook to record some things.

In the same camp was a young man who seemed to be a staff officer, but Chen Yonghua had never seen it before.The other party looked very ordinary, and said very little, it seemed that people would never remember it.

Chen Yonghua glanced at the other party. The other party fell asleep early, and did not snore, and rarely turned over, and was very quiet.

"The emperor doesn't seem to want to let all these academies enter the navy, because more than half of these students are assigned to the logistics troop carrier." Chen Yonghua thought in his mind.

"What's the intention? Doesn't the emperor want to use force to conquer the world? How is this possible?" Chen Yonghua continued to record his notes with some strange symbols.

On April [-], the fleet, which had rested for several days, began to board the ship.Everyone gathered under the sound of bugles, and then walked to the small boat parked by the sea one by one.

"Remember, your task is to learn, make good use of the sextant in your hands, and see how the veterans fought and killed the enemy." Chen Yonghua walked up to the two teenagers and tidied up the cork life jackets they were wearing ordered.

"Officer Chen, these dolls haven't tasted women yet. By then, the red-haired devils will be able to bite off their heads with a mouth as big as a pot. It's a pity for you dolls to go to the battlefield like this." An old soldier teased.

"Hahaha..." A group of people laughed.

"Instructor, I'm not afraid." A boy blushed and replied loudly.

"Chen Gongxiao, they are joking with you!" Chen Yonghua comforted.This young man is his distant relative, and he is assigned to the vanguard fleet, so Chen Yonghua specially came to see him off.

"Take good care of them both for me. If something is missing, you won't get any medals when you come back." Chen Yonghua shouted at the veterans.

"Don't worry, I promise they won't lose their guns when they come back." The veteran waved his hand at Chen Yonghua, as a sign of agreement.

The vanguard warship had already sailed a long way, and Chen Yonghua just boarded the flagship, and he wanted to follow Zheng Chenggong.

Not long after he boarded the boat, he noticed a figure that seemed to be familiar flashing by. It seemed that the person was the one who had camped with him these days.

Chen Yonghua followed a few steps curiously, but the other party disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Chief of staff, that person who just passed by is also our staff?" Chen Yonghua asked Liu Guoxuan.

"Well, it seems to be. But I don't know what he is responsible for. He is under the command of the commander. Why, you also want to be directly under the command of the commander?" Liu Guoxuan is getting more and more disliked by Chen Yonghua. Knowing how to get close to the leader made Liu Guoxuan extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Guoxuan believed that in Zheng's army, he should be second in military exploits, not even Shi Lang who had defected to Houjin was inferior to him.

However, what Chen Yonghua thought was: a staff officer who is not under the control of the chief of staff, this is very strange.

In Chen Yonghua's strange absence, this staff officer who was not easy to remember was reporting to his superiors about Chen Yonghua's situation in the past few days.In particular, the symbols written by Chen Yonghua that no one can understand have already been copied, and then they are going to be archived and sent to Nanjing.

Chen Yonghua didn't know this, but he knew that he was no longer seasick.It is very close from Penghu to Zeelandia, and the war is about to begin.

Chapter 453: Descending Heavenly Soldiers Skillfully Crossing the Luer Gate (Repair)

Aoi stood at the highest point of Zeelandia Castle and looked down at the residential area outside. It was busy there, a large number of residents were migrating to the city, and various materials were constantly being transferred.

There were early signs of the Ming army navy attacking Taiwan, especially after Guangzhou built a special treaty port a year ago, the entrepot trade in the entire Southeast Asia suddenly turned.

It turned out that more than half of the Dutch's re-export trade to the Japanese country was snatched by Daming at once, and Taiwan's status in the Dutch East India Company became a bit weak.

Other countries in Europe don't have to do this business with the Dutch, they can do it directly with Daming, and they can even fill up the goods in Guangzhou on the spot and send them back to Europe directly.

As a result, the issue of the Dutch and Ming's trade with Japan became a question of re-exporting in Taiwan or re-exporting in Guangzhou.Then the advantage of the Daming market, of course, is that Guangzhou has an advantage.

If it weren't for Taiwan's own good products, the Dutch probably would have given up on Taiwan as a transit point.In other words, as long as Daming can defeat a certain amount of armed force of the Dutch, the Dutch will not die for Taiwan and the mainland at all.

This is actually the political environment in official history.

But Kui Yi doesn't think so, because he is the newly appointed governor of Taiwan, and he was the company's business agent for the Japanese country before. His future is closely related to the trade with the Japanese country, and he is useless if he leaves Taiwan.

Kui Yi decided to stick to Taiwan and the city of Zeelandia.Therefore, he saved enough food and supplies in the city of Zeelandia for two years.

"My lord governor, the goods outside the city have been transferred to the city, and the Han people have also driven out of the castle, what else can I do for you?" He Bin, the general officer of the Han people, was as respectful and humble as ever. .

He Bin was a colleague who learned foreign dialect with Zheng Zhilong in Macau, and everyone later worked as an interpreter for the Dutch. The difference is that Zheng Zhilong later climbed up to the great pirate Xu Xinsu and made a fortune.

The veteran He Bin is also doing well in Taiwan. Although he is not as beautiful as the Zheng family, he is prosperous and has a good life.

"He, do you think there are spies among these people?" Kui Yi asked, pointing to the Han coolies outside.

He Bin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "These are all immigrants who have been here for many years, and it is impossible for them to still have contact with the mainland."

In fact, He Bin was thinking in his heart: Did this Kui Yi see something?

The time for attacking Taiwan was advanced by 11 years, and another advantage is that the contact between the mainland and Taiwan was not interrupted for so long.In the official history, Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan, because the contact between the two places was interrupted for too long, resulting in inaccurate information on Taiwan. Zheng Chenggong once struggled for a while whether to fight Taiwan or not.

But this time, because of Zhu Youjian's support, Taiwan's intelligence was also prepared for a full year. Even He Bin, Zhu Youjian directly sent someone to take over the head, and directly accepted the official position.

After all, He Bin has completely become the internal support of the Ming army.

"He, I'm still worried. We must send someone to watch over them. If anything goes wrong, hang them up." Kui Yi made a gesture of hanging herself.

"Okay, I will definitely follow your orders my lord." He Bin saluted politely.

On the night of April [-]th, the tide really rose, and Ma Xin led the vanguard fleet to pass through Luermen smoothly.

Early the next morning, it was still daylight, and Kui Yi hadn't gotten up yet.His servant, a native of Luzon, was ironing his shirts.

"Dangdangdang..." The alarm bell on the castle rang hastily.

"What happened?" Kui Yi Gulu got up, and the servant leaned against the corner of the wall in fright. Kui Yi had already held the long sword in her hand, and the sword was out of its sheath.

"My lord governor, it's not good. The enemy army has already entered the bay." The sentry opened the door in a panic with a flintlock gun in hand.Immediately afterwards, the entire castle began to commotion, mixed with various chaotic and strange cries.

"How is it possible, how did they come in?" Kui Yi felt that something was wrong, he didn't hear the gunfire from the port.

"Big, big tide, last night was a big tide." At this time, the infantry captain in the city Beidel ran over to explain.

"Come on, take me to have a look." Kui Yi ran to the place where the tide was highest while she was getting dressed.

When he used the binoculars to see the situation in the bay, he gasped.The entire bay is full of warships of the Ming army, dozens of them densely packed, and the sails stretch as if covering the sky and blocking out the sun to the vicinity of Luermen in the north.
