Chongzhen Undergraduates

Zheng Chenggong came to see the emperor full of anger, and he could more or less guess the inside story of the matter. It was obvious that Zhu Youjian did not behave authentically.However, Zheng Chenggong didn't understand what Zhu Youjian's purpose was for doing this?Is it to eradicate the Zheng family?But it's not like it.

Why?Because the power of the Zheng family has been transferred to Hokkaido, if Zhu Youjian wants to eradicate the Zheng family, there is no need to let the Zheng family out on purpose.

However, if it was not for the eradication of the Zheng family, why would the emperor do this.Zheng Chenggong decided to meet Zhu Youjian in person and ask him what he wanted.

"Does Aiqing think that what I have done is unethical?" Zhu Youjian looked at Zheng Chenggong calmly.

"I don't dare to judge the king's heart." Zheng Chenggong was so angry that his veins burst out, and he was about to explode.

"I won't let you die. I remember all the achievements of your Zheng family in my heart. As for this time, it's the Zheng family who took the blame for me!" Zhu Youjian didn't pass it. Explain more, just drop this sentence.

In any case, Zhu Youjian is the emperor.Now that Zhu Youjian asked Zheng's family to take the blame, Zheng Chenggong didn't dare to say no.Because the Zheng family has no way out, there is no other way but to ask Daming for help.Zheng Chenggong also lived in Japan. Of course he knew how much hatred would be aroused in the Japanese country by killing the emperor.

"I allow you to recruit [-] volunteers from among the veterans in the country. You don't need the Zheng family to pay for this money." Zhu Youjian looked at Zheng Chenggong who had calmed down a little, and added.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!" Zheng Chenggong kowtowed to Zhu Youjian seriously.

This matter has developed to this stage, and many people can't understand it.Originally, Ming Dynasty wanted to develop domestically, but why did Zhu Youjian want to warm up Japan? Didn't he agree not to start a foreign war?

That's because Zhu Youjian didn't regard this battle as a big deal at all.For the Zheng family in Hokkaido, this is a battle of life and death, but for Daming, if this battle is only fought in Hokkaido, it is not worth mentioning at all.

The Zheng family has no army, or the Zheng family can't win the land battle, but the strength of the Zheng family's navy is still there.Therefore, if Daming sends an army, it is basically equivalent to emboldening the Zheng family.And Japan, which had just experienced the war between Korea and Japan, was simply unable to stand up again. This is why Zhu Youjian never encouraged North Korea to cut Japan.

Zhu Youjian was bad because he never killed Japan every time, he always ran away with a knife, and withdrew after bleeding a pot of blood.The last time it was North Korean chopping, now it is replaced by Zheng's chopping.Even if the emperor is assassinated, so what?Even if the strength of the Zheng family is not as good as that of North Korea, so what, is your strength in Japan stronger than before?

The Japanese nation has a strange temper. If you ask him to fight hard, he will fight back desperately, such as the kamikaze special attack team, such as Japan's suicide.In the end, if you lose, even if you admit defeat, it is just another form of attack.However, if you use continuous and slight bloodletting, every time when the Japanese attack is halfway through, you withdraw, and slowly bleeding the Japanese is the best method.

From Zheng Chenggong's point of view, it is an extremely urgent matter. From Zhu Youjian's point of view, there is no need to rush. First, send [-] veterans to towns and towns, let the Zheng family fight a sea battle with Japan, and then see if Japan is still alive. Let's talk about how much potential.

If the emperor of Japan is dead and has not shown his potential, then Japan will have no potential to tap.To deal with ferocious enemies, one should bleed little by little.

Chapter 652: Always think about dividing others

There is a very narrow part of the Tsugaru Strait, and the Japanese can reach Hokkaido with small fishing boats starting from the main island.But this is also the place where the Zheng family's ships gather the most. The Zheng family obviously does not want to directly send troops to land on the island to fight, and they do not have the strength to do so, so sending ships to block the strait is the best choice.

Because the shogunate did not officially declare war on Hokkaido, this is not a war in the true sense, and the Zheng family does not have warships in the serious sense. The Zheng family ships parked in the strait are all armed civilian ships, even cannons. The layout is similar to the previous Fuchuan.

The incident continued to ferment, and more and more wandering samurai gathered in Mutsu City from all over Japan, and some fishermen's fishing boats also continued to gather here.

"Kill the people of light and drive them out of Hokkaido." Some Japanese, led by warriors with white bandages on their heads, stood on the coast every day and cursed loudly at distant ships.

"Chief helmsman, what are those dwarves shouting for?" On a rock not far from the coast, Chen Jinnan led a few of his men to silently watch the situation on the shore.

"I don't understand either, I guess they are swearing! You all wear mourning on your head." Although Chen Jinnan knew some habits of the Japanese people, the costumes of the Japanese people in front of him really wanted to be collective. Parents are dead.

"We've been here for half a month, why haven't these Japanese attacked yet?" a member of the Tiandihui asked curiously.

"What kind of attack? Just the Japanese sword stuck in each of them's waist? That's death." Chen Jinnan snorted and said, "Although the Zheng family recruited is not a regular army, but the weapons that the Zheng family equips them are all regular troops." The best weapons in the village. As for the new rifled flintlock guns you use, the Zheng family is equipped with them."

"Tsk tsk, that thing is almost as good as the long-range rifle I use." A member of the Tiandihui sincerely praised it.

"When can we finish the mission and go back?" a young man asked.

"Homesick? We will continue to stay dormant in Japan this time. Don't look at the emperor and the next emperor's successor being assassinated, but there are still many members of the Japanese royal family. There has been new news from Kyoto that the Japanese royal family is about to move." , They are going to send people to Lutsu to recruit the wandering samurai here, and they will make a big move." Chen Jinnan said while looking behind him, which was the direction of Daming.

As a pure intelligence officer, he couldn't understand Zhu Youjian's layout, but he was not stupid either.Since the death of the emperor, the domestic situation in Japan is not as turbulent as imagined, but it seems that there are hidden waves under the calm.Chen Jinnan seemed to understand why Nanjing's order made Chen Jinnan send the backbone to Lu'ao.

Within a few days, a group of people wearing noble costumes came to Mutsu, and then, these people began to frequently contact some leaders of the samurai, as if they were plotting something.

In a dilapidated small yard near the sea, Chen Jinnan was pretending to be drying the stinky dried squid.In the distance, from the direction of Mutsu, there were two black shadows running towards us in a hurry.When Chen Jinnan saw the black shadow, he habitually picked up the binoculars and took a look.The running legs of the running figure in the camera are straight, not like the squiggles of the Japanese. He put away the binoculars with confidence, and whistled to the sky, like a seabird singing.

"Headmaster, Master Yao has already found out the correct information. The Japanese nobles who came over this time are the children of the royal family. The royal clan wants to use this matter to gather wandering warriors to regain the power of the shogunate and let the royal family regain power. Take power." This was the message Sombra brought to Chen Jinnan.

Every country is not as united as it is in the legend, and there must be some internal disputes. Just like the Japanese country, the conflict between the royal family and the shogunate is no longer a matter of a day or two.Of course, the Tokugawa family was unwilling to really go to war with the Zheng family for the sake of the emperor. This was actually in Zhu Youjian's calculations.But the royal family is not really sad because of the death of a puppet emperor. Everyone just wants to take advantage of this incident and make use of it.

"Send someone to report the news to Nanjing immediately, and ask for instructions on the next step." Chen Jinnan immediately ordered.

At the same time, in a hidden manor on the coast of Siam, Fang Yi was wearing a mask and shaking the glass reagent in her hand. The white substance in the reagent had already begun to crystallize, and the color became whiter and whiter.Every worker in this manor is wearing the same white coat as Fang Yi, and they are all young students who have studied very well in the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, this batch of goods has reached the standard. Do you want to start shipping immediately?" A delicate young girl came to Fang Yi, but when the girl opened her mouth, she spoke in a serious tone.

"Has the packaging style been designed?" Fang Yi asked.

"It has been designed, and every small glass bottle has a name and some encouraging words written in Latin on the outside. It should be common in Europe." The little girl looked proud, and she felt that she had done it perfectly. Latin is the common language in Europe at this time.

With a sound of "Pa!", Fang Yi slapped the little girl on the face, and the girl didn't move.

"Stupid! Do you want to encourage Europe to move toward integration? What good is a unified Europe for Ming?" Fang Yi scolded.

"My subordinate is wrong. I'll fix it now." The little girl looked ashamed.

"Remember, in the future, all goods sold to Europe must be labeled in different languages. English, French, German, Spanish, etc., the more the better, don't feel troublesome and switch to Latin. You must first abandon the use of Latin, so that although the goods are not easy to sell in another country, it will keep Europeans from getting together. They don’t even understand each other’s language, so they can’t unite.” Fang Yi fiercely explain.

These are all small details in some intelligence work, but whether it is to divide Japan or Europe, Zhu Youjian has set iron-like rules for the intelligence department from the very beginning: no matter how small an opportunity is, don't Let the opponents have the possibility to unite, and use every opportunity to disintegrate the opponents and create conflicts.

After Fang Yi's special instructions, this batch of special medicines destined for Europe was divided into seven or eight kinds of text labels and officially sent to European countries.But what is a little strange is that this kind of goods did not go with the traditional Ming Dynasty goods, but was mixed with the Indian goods, and sent to Europe through the Dutch and British ships.

Chapter 653:Oil under the scenery of the Northland

In the spring of 1657, a breakthrough was made in the infrastructure technology of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the drilling technology for foundation treatment was put into practical use.

Why is the small drilling technology practical in engineering?There are a lot of materials that say that deep-drilling technology was developed in Zigong in the Ming Dynasty, but that kind of technology is very demanding on the environment. When encountering Huanggang rock foundation, you can try drilling with brine drilling technology.This is of course a joke, so the practical application of drilling technology was first invented and improved from the application of infrastructure projects.

Speaking of this, many people should immediately understand where this technology can be mainly used.Yes, that's right, there is mining.From the moment the drilling technology matured, Zhu Youjian personally issued an oral order, and he asked the people in the mechanical team to rush to manufacture a set of machinery immediately and rush to the west gate of Yanchang County in northern Shaanxi to explore and drill holes in the ground.At the same time, the mechanical team also needs to develop machinery suitable for resisting development while constructing, so as to coordinate with the smooth progress of the project.

After all, the requirements of siege drilling and oil drilling are completely different. Taking the lifting force of deep holes as an example, an engineering drilling rig that can be driven by a small steam engine may not last for a few days in oil drilling.

This project lasted until the sixth day of October. Zhu Youjian finally received a report from northern Shaanxi in Nanjing. The drilling depth was 80 meters, and the oil came out!

"Wang Chengen, help me pack my things quickly, I'm going to northern Shaanxi." The cold wind in late autumn couldn't resist the joy on Zhu Youjian's face at all. It should be said that Wang Chengen hasn't seen Zhu Youjian so happy for a long time.

"Long Live Lord, it's going to be winter soon, can we go in spring?" Wang Chengen also heard about the northern Shaanxi, but he didn't understand, it's just a kind of black water drawn from the ground, it's worth the emperor's own trip ?

"You don't understand, where is the black water? That's gold. What flows out is all gold. Hahaha!" Zhu Youjian's exaggerated words made Wang Chengen dubious. That thing is gold? Coaxing a baby.

Northern Shaanxi is the sad place of Ming Dynasty, especially Emperor Chongzhen.It was the beginning of civil strife in the Ming Dynasty. Even though decades have passed, few people in the court mention this place.

However, now that there is a decree saying that the emperor will go to visit northern Shaanxi in person, people from all over the court and opposition immediately speculate whether the emperor has other thoughts.

"General Li Guo, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?" Zhu Youjian did not choose to take a car when he went to northern Shaanxi, but chose to ride a horse, which was a tall horse newly bred by the Ming Dynasty.

"My Majesty, I have never been back since I left Northern Shaanxi in 18." In fact, Li Guo and Gao Yigong never thought of going back to Northern Shaanxi. Although they missed their hometown very much, because of Li Zicheng, Some people who broke into Wang's old camp tried not to touch the scars in their hearts. In fact, they were saving face for the court.However, what they didn't expect was that Zhu Youjian actually asked the two of them to go to northern Shaanxi together. This kind of human mind is enough to convince people.

"I heard that northern Shaanxi is very bitter. Is it so?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"Northern Shaanxi is dry, the yield of wheat is low, and only millet grows well. If you can eat a meal of white steamed buns all year round, it is the Chinese New Year." Li Guo said, and made a face with his hand, and Zhu Youjian knew it was wiped A tear.

From Guyuan in Ningxia to the Yansui border area, before the Ming Dynasty, more than 20 to [-] frontier troops were stationed in the bitter cold area, and the environment was harsher than that of Liaodong.The reason for this is not because Daming lost Hetao and Saibei.Relying on the number of people to guard the border all year round is not only a heavy burden on the court's finances, but also a suffering for the people.
