My Daming New Empire

But on the bright side, Daming can't go too far, and can't lose the big because of the small.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang returned Jeju Island to North Korea was that on the one hand, North Korea had snatched the request and wanted to use North Korea to contain Dongying, so he gave up this island that could only raise horses.

On the other hand, it is also to set an example, to make the small countries around Ming Dynasty surrender to Ming Dynasty, and to show the greatness of Ming Dynasty.

If it is because of Jeju Island that makes North Korea centrifuge and makes other small countries feel that Ming's eating is too ugly, then the loss outweighs the gain.

But Zhu Zhanji is a pure interestist. Controlling Jeju Island is equivalent to controlling the throat of North Korea and Japan. How could he give up so easily?

Even if it is to be returned to North Korea on the surface, he will firmly control this place in his own hands.

Not only here, but from Jeju Island, to Tsushima Island, to Sado Island, and Hokkaido, he must firmly control it to form the Ping Fan on the eastern coast of Daming, and at the same time ensure the safety of Daming's route to the north.

Zheng He, the Secretary of General Administration, and the officials of the Ministry of War quickly reached an agreement with Gao Yide on the calculation of the loss of Jeju Island, the calculation of the existing population and resources.

In this way, the departure time of the Ming Fleet will be delayed again.

However, there is still one month before the Chinese New Year, so there is still plenty of time!

Zhu Zhanji did not occupy the original bedroom of the Star Lord's Mansion, which was also filled with smog by a gang of Japanese pirates.

His bedroom was originally a hexagonal pavilion-style two-story building in the garden, which was originally the library of the Star Lord's Mansion.

In order to welcome Zhu Zhanji, all the books here were moved out, leaving only a few books for him to pass the time.

Zhu Zhanji picked up a copy at random, and at first glance, it turned out to be a Song Dynasty engraved edition of "Tokyo Chronicle".Of course, this Tokyo is not the footbath Tokyo of later generations, but Kaifeng, the largest city at that time.

Raising the book in his hand, Zhu Zhanji said: "Look at the books in Zangshu Pavilion that are the only books from the previous dynasty, and bring them back to Daming. By the way, call Zhuang Jing in."

Although he made great achievements this time, Zhuang Jing still behaved very humble in front of Zhu Zhanji. The meeting was a big salute, and he kowtowed three times regardless of Li Liang's obstruction.

"My minister Zhuang Jing, on behalf of Commander Ji, greets His Highness."

This also made Yang Zhangde who was standing on the side curl his lips secretly, this guy really doesn't want any face at all!After all, he is also a fourth-rank official of Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Zhanji knew very well that neither Ji Gang nor Zhuang Jing was a good bird, so don't take their shamelessness seriously.

"Please take a look at the matter of Zhuang Qian." Zhu Zhanji put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "This time the army was able to wipe out the Japanese pirates, and the matter of Zhuang Qian made a great contribution. When he returns to the capital, he will be regarded as the matter of Zhuang Qian." Please give credit to Commander Ji."

"Weicheng doesn't dare to take credit for it. His Royal Highness and Commander Ji have devised a strategy, and Weichen is just executing it."

"Let's recount all your experiences after arriving in Dongpu. It's just a letter exchange. I don't have an intuitive understanding of the local details."

Waiting for Zhuang Jing to tell the whole story about his journey from going to sea, then to Izumo country, and hooking up with the Kyogoku family.

Especially in the last stage, after they bewitched Kyogoku to take the post, they ventured to join the Japanese pirate team, which is even more exciting than the novel.

Although he kept saying that he didn't dare to take credit for it, he was afraid that Zhu Zhanji would forget these credits.

"Where is Kyogoku Chigan now?"

"He was detained alone in a civilian house."

"If this person can be used by my Ming Dynasty, I will keep him safe. However, this person dares to risk alone, and he is also a wolf. He can be used but not reused. This time against the Jingji family, he is a knife. When Jingji After the family has dealt with it, just send it to a corner and let him fend for itself."

Zhuang Jing said with a smile: "At this time, Commander Ji and I already have a secret case, and there will be no future troubles. Your Highness, this time the army is dispatched and the troops are mobilized. It would be a pity to return to Daming..."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhuang Jing sideways, and Zhuang Jing's smile froze immediately.It seemed that Zhu Zhanji had seen through everything in his heart, and for a while, he didn't dare to say anything.

Zhu Zhanji said at this time: "Zhuang Qian has something to say."

Zhuang Jing didn't dare to play tricks, but he didn't want this opportunity to slip away in vain, he hesitated for a moment, and said bravely: "Your Highness, I have gathered with all the Japanese pirates on Tsushima Island this time, and stayed in Tsushima Island for ten days. Today, I also have a better understanding of the local area. Now is the best time for me, Ming, to take action on Tsushima Island."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Li Liang, Li Liang laughed knowingly, and said, "Master Zhuang, do you think His Highness led the army this time just for these pirates? At both ends, providing assistance to Japanese pirates, of course, cannot escape the sanctions of my Ming Dynasty."

With Li Liang suppressing Zhuang Jing's arrogance, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Tsushima Island is already in my plan, so don't worry about Zhuang Qian's affairs. But since you have lived there for ten days, you will be here later. Tell Feng Qianhu and Jiang Qianhu about the situation on the island carefully."

These two are guards beside Zhu Zhanji who came with Yang Zhangde. Because they have different skills, they are currently undertaking Zhu Zhanji's intelligence collection work.

Zhuang Jing knew them all, and nodded upon seeing this.Zhu Zhanji said again: "You are familiar with the leader of the Japanese pirates. In the past two days, you will first go to Huang Yuanhuang to be responsible for cleaning up the Japanese pirates and identify all the leaders."

Zhuang Jing was still a little puzzled, why he had to check the information with two thousand households for a while, and then he had to cooperate with a garrison to eliminate the Japanese pirates.

When he came out of the small building, Jiang Wanli still had some affection for him, so he couldn't help reminding him: "Lord Zhuang, Your Highness doesn't like being played foolishly, so don't try your Highness again in the future. Otherwise, no matter how old you are, Credit won’t keep your head.”

Although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, Zhuang Jing broke into cold sweat immediately after saying a word.

Thanks to Zhang Degong of the Great Sui Dynasty, people can see people with lights, Waghuan, NI for endless rewards, thank you for your support

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

The transition from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons is not only a change in weapons, but also a change in the mode of warfare.

The application of hot weapons has opened up the space of the battlefield and changed the way of warfare. Even the training of soldiers will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The soldiers only saw the usefulness and long-distance power of muskets, but as a general, they have deeply realized that their way of leading the army will also undergo a complete change.

If he can't make changes in time, then he will be eliminated.

So at this time, he looked at Zhao Yongliang with hot eyes, as if he had met a beauty he liked.

However, the impact he received was far less than that of Huang Yuan.

Because he is already a general, he only needs to accept this new mode of warfare, and then implement it in his own barracks.

However, Huang Yuan, as a middle-level official whose position is not high or low, after seeing the current battlefield model, he has doubts about what he has learned before, and he has doubts about the future path.He also became uncertain about the future.

It's not that he has never seen muskets before, but because of the slow reloading and low power of muskets in the past, they can only be used as auxiliary weapons on the battlefield at best.

When the two ships joined the battle, they still fought with the bravery of the soldiers.

But now, muskets are becoming more and more powerful, and it seems that with muskets, they can already replace all other weapons, so the battlefield will become a strange place.

Now, he felt very grateful again.If he is now a leader of the army, then he can only lead the soldiers on the ship to fight bravely.

But now he has become the garrison of the Ministry of the Navy and is responsible for the liaison of the entire Ministry of the Navy, so he can see more changes in the situation than others.

In this upcoming change, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will occupy a favorable position in this new era of change.

Tang Jing was stunned for a while, and then he remembered again, and hurriedly picked up two command arrows and handed them to the left and right messengers. "Order Jiaozhou Guard and Weihai Guard to withdraw two miles to the west and open the defense line to prevent the Japanese pirates from jumping over the wall to land. Order Dinghai Guard to open the defense line to the west to resist the Japanese pirates landing."

After the messengers left and right flew away, he picked up another command arrow and handed it to the messenger. "Order Habayashi Wei to leave only [-] musketeers here, and send [-] musketeers to support firepower along both sides of the east and west roads."

Looking at the Japanese pirate ships on the sea like rats crossing the street, and looking at the towering and majestic Daming navy in the distance.Tang Jing felt that this battle was fought extremely smoothly, and the Japanese pirates were already unable to fly.

He turned around and ordered: "Tang Shoubei, you lead the reserve battalion and Tamra people to clean up the county guard's mansion and search for scattered Japanese pirates who escaped. And contact the local interior to collect all the iron pots, build pots and stoves, and cook bupleurum soup. , to prevent wind and cold."

Huang Yuan clasped his fists and said: "Commander, the battle is not over yet, the last general only needs to bring two hundred reserve battalions, these tamluos are available to everyone."
