My Daming New Empire

The northern military region is divided into two places, one is the Liaodong Peninsula, and the other is the Heilongjiang estuary connecting the north with Sakhalin Island.

Although the two places are blocked by North Korea, the mainland is not separated. In order to vigorously develop the north, Liaodong should be built as a supply base for the north.

The Donghai District is from the south of Shandong Province to Fujian, which is currently the wealthiest area in Ming Dynasty with the most abundant products.

In order to clean up the coastal defense, the East China Sea District sent a large number of ships to clean up the islands in the East China Sea.The pirate dens that had been based on various islands since Zhang Shicheng's time were wiped out. Those pirates were either wiped out or moved to Yingzhou Island, which is Taiwan in later generations.

The scope of the Nanhai District is much larger. From Guangdong to Hainan Island, to Jiaozhi, and to the old port Xuanweisi in Sumatra, all are under the management of the Nanhai District.

However, in order to unify the navy's organization and order system, the navy's combat methods, fleet formation, etc., a vertical management military system is still implemented.

The military region is responsible for training, logistics, and supplies, but the operations of the fleet belong to the headquarters.

For example, each of the three major military regions has a dedicated combat force, namely the Second Fleet to the Fourth Fleet. These three fleets have no chief officers, and only two deputy commanders are responsible for the usual training and logistics coordination.

When fighting, the headquarters and the Ministry of War will jointly appoint the commander-in-chief to lead the battle.

The First Fleet was adapted from the original Xinjiangkou Navy and stationed in the capital.Although the First Fleet has no sea area and needs to go out of the Yangtze River Estuary to train on weekdays, it is the largest of the four combat fleets.

The First Fleet is directly under the headquarters. In addition to training and operations, the court's diplomatic missions and ceremonial fleets, including bandit suppression and transportation in the Yangtze River and Yellow River waters, are all under the jurisdiction of the First Fleet.

The Western Fleet led by Zheng He, the Second Fleet led by Hou Xian, and the Third Fleet led by Wang Jinghong are all under the jurisdiction of the First Fleet.

Because Zhu Zhanji personally served as the governor of the First Fleet, the First Fleet also has command over several other fleets.

As Zhu Zhanji's orders were conveyed, the entire naval system began to operate as a whole for the first time.

However, due to the closed nature of the navy's operations, the people in Daming did not know that the navy was about to launch a large-scale military operation.

If Zhu Zhanji wants to conquer in person, then the capital city can only be controlled by Liu Jiang. Just in case, Zhu Di personally ordered to mobilize the mid-level and above naval generals currently in the capital to assist Zhu Zhanji in this expedition.

Zheng He, who is Zhu Zhanji's deputy, is currently recuperating.

And under their command, there are also many famous generals.Tang Jing, Wang Heng, Lin Zixuan, Hu Jun, Ha Tong and other well-known naval generals who have emerged since Zhu Yuanzhang's time, or naval generals who have actual combat experience in the West during the Yongle Dynasty, were all summoned and assigned to each fleet Served as commander in chief.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji doesn't need to worry about how to arrange troops and how to supply logistics.

In this era, the Ming Dynasty was powerful, did not build a new Beiping, and the construction of the Great Wall had stopped. In addition, Zheng He's fleet made four voyages to the West, but did not lose money, but made a slight profit.

Therefore, to provide logistical supplies for these three fleets, there is no need to disturb the local area, just load the food and grass that Hou Xian is going to go to Bang Geci on board.

The cost of the navy's expedition was lower than that of the army in this era, because it saved the cost of war horses and did not need civilians to transport luggage.

As long as the rations of the soldiers are supplied, the endurance of the navy will exceed that of the navy of later generations, because the ships do not need to consume fuel!

In the palace, although the concubines headed by Sun Xian were reluctant to leave Zhu Zhanji, they all silently prepared for Zhu Zhanji's expedition.

Zhu Gaochi looked at his heroic son, and his heart was full of jealousy. He also wanted to be like his son, who could lead thousands of troops and scold Fang Qiu.

It's a pity that this body has dragged him down, and it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to lead an army in this life.

"This is the golden silk soft armor that your great-grandfather gave me when I was young. The sea is humid and the leather armor is uncomfortable. This soft armor is just a hidden gem to me. I give it to you today. I hope you will not fall into the trap of my Zhu family." Wei."

Zhu Zhanji knelt down on one knee, took off the soft armor with both hands and said: "My child will obey the order of the father, and honor the name of the father."

Zhu Gaochi brewed his emotions for a while, and planned to take this hard-won opportunity to express his emotions again and teach his son a few words.

But Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait to go forward and pull Zhu Zhanji up and said: "The autumn is getting colder, Ji'er get up quickly. Your grade is still young, this time you go to the expedition, listen to Zheng Zongbing and his opinions, and don't go your own way. I don't want to You are famous all over the world, and I only want you to return safely."

These words destroyed Zhu Gaochi's brewing emotions at once, let his wife say everything, and he seemed to say that everything was superfluous, so he could only sigh and said: "Get up."

Yang Zhangde, a high-spirited Yang family in Chang'an Square, has been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time.

During the Northern Expedition to Oala, as Zhu Zhanji's guard, he had no chance to make meritorious service.

After returning, he knew that such opportunities would become less and less in the future.

Without the opportunity to make meritorious service, if he wants to advance step by step, he can only follow the steps, which is not in line with his life plan for himself.

But he was reluctant to leave Zhu Zhanji's side and play outside. Of course, going outside can increase his qualifications, but without Zhu Zhanji, he is just a rookie without any foundation.

Therefore, only by staying with Zhu Zhanji can we have more opportunities.

He doesn't need to kill many enemies. With Zhu Zhanji's side, the possibility of him encountering enemies is very small.But as long as he shows a corresponding attitude and let Zhu Zhanji see it, he will have more opportunities for promotion.

The only thing that restricts him is that Zhu Zhanji has not yet been in charge of the government. Except for the navy, he cannot place his own people at will.And to be rewarded, you have to pass the level of the Ministry of War.

As a Jin Yiwei, it is simply impossible to get promoted from the Ministry of War system!

"Master Yang..."

Yang Zhangde, who was in deep thought, was awakened by Er Gouzi's barking, and he came back to his senses and said, "You don't have to come back tomorrow, but I'm not here, so you can't waste a day. When I come back, if you don't make progress, don't blame me." A certain big board beat you."

After getting along for a few months, Yang Zhangde also really fell in love with this clever little guy.He has no heirs yet, so he really raised this apprentice as his son.

Now that life is stable, shouldn't it be time to find a wife and give birth to a son for him?

When you come back from this expedition, let's think about this matter carefully.

(I drank too much yesterday, didn’t sleep well, and had a terrible headache. My friend is still sleeping, and I’ve rushed out two thousand words. Seeing the old demon’s positive attitude, brothers and sisters who have monthly tickets, vote for the old one. Demon bar. Thank you all)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On the tenth day of November in the 13th year of Yongle, after several days of preparations, Zhu Zhanji led the generals to board a four-hundred-stone blessing boat converted into a building boat.

A lucky boat of four hundred shi is not a large ship, not to mention in the sea, even in the Yangtze River.

However, the sharp bottom shape and keel structure of this kind of ship, the watertight compartment structure, multiple bottom plates, and the winch used to control the stern rudder, etc., all represent the most advanced sea-going ship technology of this era.

This kind of boat is not only safer, less prone to overturning, and can withstand strong winds and waves, even if it leaks, it will not affect navigation. More importantly, this boat is faster.

Today's First Military Region of the Ming Dynasty is a huge naval force stretching from Jingzhou, to Wuchang, to Jiujiang, and to Chongming Island in later generations.

Although this four hundred stone warship is not the largest, it is the fastest and has a low draft.Whether it is in Chaohu Lake, Poyang Lake, or Dongting Lake, it can travel unimpeded, so this kind of boat has also become the boat commanded by the generals of the navy.

Zhu Zhanji and the others will take this ship to arrive at the Chongming Island Navy Camp, where they will transfer to a large treasure ship with a displacement of more than [-] tons, and set up a flag to send troops.

Because this time it is to suppress the bandits, not the confrontation between the two armies.In order to keep it secret, he did not mobilize the troops this time. Many people in Ming Dynasty did not know that Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, went to sea to suppress bandits in person.

In the last expedition, he was Zhu Di's follower, and no one could command him except his own guards.

But this time, he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Not only are the [-] warships of the First Fleet under his command, but even the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, which form a siege network with the First Fleet, are under his remote command. .

Regarding the Japanese pirates, no one really worried that they could cause any casualties to the Ming Fleet.

No matter how ruthless they are, they are only killing people on land.In the vast sea, if you encounter one, the more important thing is to look at the size of the ship and the sharpness of the artillery fire.
