My Daming New Empire

This smooth transition of power is what Zhu Di wants to see most.

Because there is a generation gap between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji has been careful not to touch Zhu Di's power structure, the satisfaction of Zhu Didi's grandson far exceeds that of the son who was limped by a group of civil servants.

The current power structure is also what Zhu Di is willing to see. Giving part of the power to his grandson is far more in line with Zhu Di's power distribution intention than handing over power to Zhu Gaochi.

For Zhu Zhanji, the navy was first established, and this military operation is the first joint operation of the three major fleets, and it is also the first large-scale application of the sextant.

With this sharp weapon for sailing, the actions of the Ming Fleet in the sea are no longer affected by the night for the first time, and the accuracy of sailing has achieved a qualitative leap.

Through this joint operation of the three armed forces, the Daming Navy has also made detailed records of the hydrological conditions of the entire East China Sea, including the Korean waters.

These hydrographic records will play an extremely important role in the future actions of the Ming Navy.

Although he now controls the personnel and command power of the entire navy, his prestige in the navy cannot really be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This qualitative leap in naval power, this rhythm of victory with the entire navy, is the process by which he truly determines his prestige.

"Your Highness, Yang Qianhu is asking to see you."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zheng He who was seated next and Ma Qi, the special envoy from the capital, and said with a smile, "Xuan..."

He didn't meet Yang Zhangde behind Zheng He's back because Zhu Zhanji trusted Zheng He more and more now.

Although this expedition, Zhu Zhanji has been suppressing Zheng He in all aspects, this is because of Zheng He's benevolence.

But now that the war is over and the people need to be reassured after the massacre, Zheng He's role is very obvious at this time.

Zhu Zhanji wants to return to the capital, but of course he will not give up the Jeju Island and Tsushima Island that have been captured now, so he needs a highly respected person to sit in charge.

Zheng He is the most suitable candidate whether it is to appease the people of the two islands or to fight a lawsuit with North Korea and Japan.

All the year round, Zheng He has a kind of majestic grace, and now he is more and more disdainful of the dogs and dogs in the palace.

There is still more than half a year before the next trip to sea, and Zheng He is also willing to stay here on Tsushima Island to preside over the overall situation, so he and Zhu Zhanji hit it off.

This made special envoy Ma Qi very envious. He hinted to Zhu Zhanji several times, but Zhu Zhanji was not at all willing to keep him here to preside over the overall situation.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't know much about Ma Qi, who has been serving as a special envoy all year round.

However, Zhu Zhanji's impression of him was greatly reduced just because he tortured and killed Cochin civilians during his purchase in Cochin, and he was incompatible with Huang Fu, a good official in Zhu Zhanji's mind.

Although Zhu Zhanji doesn't pay attention to personal character, he pays the most attention to personal ability. Just relying on flattery is like being in a high position, and it doesn't work in front of Zhu Zhanji.

Yang Zhangde walked in at a fast pace, first he saluted Zhu Zhanji with his fists clasped, and then he saluted Zheng He, Ma Qi, and Yiqingzi and Xuanzhen who never left Zhu Zhanji's side.

He never paid attention to these etiquettes before, but now he finds that if he wants to climb up step by step, he needs to maintain the relationship with everyone around Zhu Zhanji.

He also knew that Zheng He might stay on Tsushima Island as the main general, and he also wanted to stay on Tsushima Island to make contributions, so he had to curry favor with the main general.

"Your Highness, I received a report today that some people found a group of people from the Zong family in Yuyue Mountain. Now that the army has blocked the waters of Tsushima Island, those people can't fly. But if you don't catch these people, you won't feel at ease for a day .So I want to ask for orders to go to Yuyue Mountain to suppress the bandits."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked with a smile: "I will return to the capital in two days. Yang Qianhu will go out this time, and there is no time to rush back. Do you want to stay here at this time?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji took the initiative to bring up this topic, Yang Zhangde knelt on one knee and said: "Although I want to serve His Highness, I also want to make meritorious deeds, so that I will not waste my life as a man."

He also knew Zhu Zhanji's disposition, and knew that His Highness had a deep mind, but he liked simpler talents.So he didn't hide his thoughts at all, and wanted to win this opportunity.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Jin Yiwei also needs to establish its own power on the island, assist the navy to manage the Japanese pirates on the island, and appease the local people. Zhuang Jing has another appointment, so he also needs a person to manage these well. Japanese pirates, do you dare to take on this burden?"

Yang Zhangde was overjoyed, and quickly responded: "I will definitely live up to your Highness's trust!"

Zhu Zhanji then smiled and said to Zheng He: "Zheng Zongbing sees if this person is available?"

Zheng He said with a smile: "His Highness's arrangement is naturally excellent. Yang Qianhu is brave and invincible, and he acts decisively, so I should use it highly."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "When I return to Beijing this time, I will propose to the emperor to remove the chief soldier from the list of internal ministers. Now Liu Jiang is the only naval commander, and the right commander is the post. I am very fond of the chief soldier. If we can get permission from the emperor's grandfather, from now on Liu Jiang will be in charge of the interior, and the commander-in-chief will be in charge of the exterior. This is the opportunity for the rise of our Ming Navy."

Zheng He was stunned all of a sudden, he looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise for a while, and then suddenly realized, knelt down on his knees, and said in tears: "If He can get this luck, he will definitely devote himself to it." After death!"

As eunuchs, they are actually a group of people who are not tolerated by the world.Ashamed of parents and ancestors, the ability to carry on the family line in the afternoon, even after death, cannot be buried in the ancestral graves, and can only be buried in random temples or barren mountains.

If Zhu Zhanji removes Zheng He from the rank of ministers and arranges him into the ranks of generals, then he will not be a minister in the future, but a real general.

Although he does not have the ability to carry on the family line, he can wash away the shame from his reputation.Then he only needs to adopt the nephew of the family to re-establish the incense.

But this move is not easy, because the ministers and generals are not in the same system. No matter how famous Zheng He is, he is only the ministers of the royal family. The generals obey his orders for the sake of the emperor.

As for directly appointing the eunuch as a general, I don’t know how much opposition he will encounter. Even if the navy was established by Zhu Zhanji and has great power, it is not easy for others to agree with Zheng He’s identity change.

Maggie was also stunned.Although the ministers can lead the army and be the chief general, they have no power of their own.

And to become a general, Zheng He can not only confer honors and titles, but also become a real pillar of the country!

At this moment, his heart was full of jealousy, but he could only smile and congratulate: "Eunuch Zheng, congratulations!"

Zheng He was in tears, completely lost the ability to think, and looked at what Zhu Zhanji wanted to say, and felt inappropriate.

He knew that the grandson was deeply liked by the emperor, and he controlled the navy with one hand. This plan was really likely to succeed.

But he was even more afraid that this was just a dream, so he didn't dare to imagine that if the emperor disagreed, or if the generals objected, the joy would be in vain.

Zhu Zhanji also knew that this matter was difficult. The difficulty was not to convince Zhu Di, but that he was against the whole worldly cognition.

But he really likes a generation of handsome talents like Zheng He. He is one of the few people in this era who can open his eyes to see the world.

Although he is an eunuch, Zhu Zhanji wants him to be more successful than in the original history.

He put forward the theory of sea power 500 years earlier than Mahan, but he has never been taken seriously by the court.Now, Zhu Zhanji only wants him to become a real giant of the times and a model of Ming's eclectic talents.

Zhu Zhanji helped Zheng He up with his own hands and said: "The commander-in-chief does not need to be so generous, I just don't want the pearl to be dusty. I also read the theory of sea power written by the commander-in-chief a few days ago, and I feel that this issue can be studied in more depth If the commander-in-chief writes a book, the entire Daming navy will have a copy, and the commander-in-chief will become an irreplaceable commander of the navy."

Zheng He was so excited that he couldn't stand upright, bowed deeply and said, "I...lead the decree!"

Although it was only two short words, Zhu Zhanji laughed happily.Because these two words are spoken to Zhu Zhanji, it means that he has truly surrendered to Zhu Zhanji.

Yang Zhangde just woke up from the shock at this time, he was very worried about His Highness playing cards so unruly.

This is not simply to change Zheng He's position, but to really challenge the common perception.It is unbelievable that an eunuch can be named a general of the court or a governor.

But this is something His Highness needs to worry about. At this time, he congratulated Zheng He: "My servant, congratulations to Mr. Zongbing! With His Highness's help, Mr. Zongbing will surely come true."

Zheng He knew that Yang Zhangde had always been Zhu Zhanji's confidant, and he was not arrogant because his official position was much higher than that of the other party.He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions and said: "From now on, we will work together for Daming and Your Highness, and we will be brothers and sisters and work together."

Being able to become an ally with Zheng He, Yang Zhangde was overjoyed, bowed quickly and said: "Your minister must follow the lead of the commander-in-chief!"

On the ninth day of December, Yang Zhangde led [-] forest guard musketeers and [-] sailors from the First Fleet of the Navy, and left Ozakipu for the northern mountainous area.

At the same time, Zhuang Jing shouldered the task of Zhu Zhanji and led twelve fast warships to leave Tsushima Island.In addition to Hayata Zaemon and two hundred Japanese pirates, he was accompanied by a total of three thousand naval soldiers.
