My Daming New Empire

In the future young army, some people will be arranged to be spies everywhere, and some people will go to Jinyiwei to help him investigate the case, which may be the most suitable destination for these young army.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhu Di once mentioned to him the formation of the young army.But it is no longer this small-scale young army, but Zhu Di is going to give Zhu Zhanji a young army of more than 2 people with Yangwuhou Xue Lu as the coach.

Zhu Zhanji refused, because in the next one or two years, his eyes will not be on the country. Now that the young army is formed, he does not stare at it every day. Who knows if this young army is the young army he wants? military.

What's more, he now has [-] feather guards, and these [-] feather guards already have [-] musketeers, [-] gunners, [-] shield troops, [-] supply teams and auxiliary personnel.

In the future, he plans to reduce the number of gunners by one thousand and increase the number of musketeers to four thousand. This group of military forces is enough for the time being.

As long as he only holds the naval power in his hands, no one can change the sky.

After two years, he will gradually hold Jingwei and Jingying in his hands, with Zheng Heng in the north, Zhang Fu in the south, and Liu Sheng, a firearms battalion who cooperates more and more tacitly with him, to form a team. There is really no need for a large young army.

Only later did he know that this was Xue Lu's suggestion.What Xue Lu thought was that since he had taken refuge in Zhu Zhanji, of course he wanted to earn the title of commander of the young army, so that he could be closer to Zhu Zhanji.

Knowing that it was Xue Lu's suggestion, Zhu Zhanji also comforted him, suggesting that the already inflated Shenji Battalion would be split up, and Xue Lu would be given the position of commander of the first army at that time.

The name of the Shenji Battalion is no longer worthy of its name, and the original quota of people has long been exceeded.Moreover, everyone knows the offensive power of the Shenji Battalion. Once everyone gets used to the new muskets, they will re-form the army.

Therefore, Xue Lu has no opinion on this arrangement.

What he didn't know was that in the original history, there was such a young army, and the commander was Xue Lu who had already taken refuge in him.

On the early morning of the [-]th, tens of thousands of soldiers assembled on Nangang Island, boarded the river boats one by one, and began to sail toward the upper reaches of the Yodogawa River.

This time, the young army was ordered by Zhu Zhanji to act as the vanguard of the army on foot.

At this time, Osaka, except for the port area, has almost become a ruin.But here at the port, it is much more prosperous than before.

Countless Japanese daimyos who surrendered have now obtained the right to trade with Daming.Shiploads of wood, tung oil, raw lacquer, pig iron, copper tin, sulfur, and gold and silver were transported to the port and replaced with Ming cloth, tools, silk, tea, and grain.

Except for a small part of these materials that were transported back to Daming, most of the materials for the construction of the city were transported to the farther north of Ezo, which is later known as Hokkaido.

Today's Hokkaido does not belong to Dongying, and the Ainu people live there.Because they have contacts with the Ainu people on Sakhalin Island belonging to Ming Dynasty, and their number is small, they did not refuse Ming to build a city in Ezo.

And Zhu Zhanji is not building one city, but two.

One is located in Hakodate in later generations. It is planned to be built as a military base to prevent Japanese people from landing on the island.

The other is in Sapporo in later generations. Although the plains here cannot produce much because of the cold weather, the fishing grounds in Hokkaido can also allow the people on the island to be self-sufficient.

In Zhu Zhanji's plan, this place will be an important part of containing Japan in the future, and it will also be the best springboard to enter the American continent.

From Hokkaido to Kamchatka, through the Aleutian Islands chain, there is a small island every tens of miles or hundreds of miles, which is connected to Alaska in later generations.

Not to mention sea boats, when the weather is good, a river boat can go all the way to America along this island chain.Of course, there is no such name there now, but it was renamed Dongzhou by Zhu Di.

Of course, there is abundant wood in Hokkaido, but it needs people to cut it, dry it, make it, and waste time.

Since the Japanese now have a lot of wood and building materials, Zhu Zhanji is of course willing to save these efforts.

In addition to conducting trade, at present, the recruiting group headed by Jin Chun is also discussing with those daimyos about leasing Minzhuang.As soon as the war stabilizes, the task of building the city will begin.

Jin Chun has been very distressed recently. As a traditional literati, and a literati who is dedicated to walking the path of sages, he feels that he is getting farther and farther away from the path of sages.

Jin Chun was born in a medical family. Since Jin Chun, his father Jin Wenbing ordered him to study Confucianism.He was smart and studious since he was a child. In the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he was awarded (selected) into Taixue with excellent results in Jingxiang Xue and Zhou Xue, and studied Confucian classics in the highest institution of the Ming Dynasty.

After finishing his studies in Taixue, he was favored by Du Ze, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, for his outstanding talent.Recommended by Du Ze, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, appointed him as the doctor of the Department of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials. From then on, Jin Chun entered the official career.In the 31st year of Hongwu, he was promoted to be the Chief Secretary of Jiangxi Province and participated in politics.

This person is loyal, diligent in state affairs, eliminates harm for the people, and makes the people happy.His honest, peaceful, and seasoned character, his outstanding talent and courage, his honest and honest official style, and his outstanding achievements made him not only have a good reputation, but also won Zhu Di's high trust.

Even so, Jinchun is not taking credit for himself, nor is he willing to enjoy privileges.Zhu Di had repeatedly wanted to bestow official titles on Jin Chun's descendants, but Jin Chun had always insisted on not accepting the emperor's favor.

Zhu Zhanji has always respected such a person, but the more Zhu Zhanji respects him, the more distressed he is.

Because Zhu Zhanji's path is not the path he wants to take at all, or even runs counter to it.

However, he couldn't say that Zhu Zhanji made a mistake.

Today's Ming Dynasty has experienced three emperors. Except for Zhu Yunqi who is close to Confucianism, neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Zhu Di is considered close to Confucianism.

However, Zhu Yunqi was kicked out of power by Zhu Di after four years as emperor. The two emperors who were not close to Confucianism did a good job instead.

He has always wondered, is it really wrong for Confucianism to govern the country?

Now the great grandson Zhu Zhanji is even better than blue. Whether he personally killed the enemy in the grassland or set fire to the city in Dongying, he could not see his benevolent deeds.

He is not close to Confucianism. Although he is very good to Xie Jin's family now, it is more because of personal feelings.

But this grandson's reputation among the people is enviable.Even when an old farmer in the country mentions him, he will say that he is a good grandson chosen by God, and he has passed the heavens.

This time the mission to Japan was blocked, and when he waited for the grandson's arrival in Tsushima Island, he had been secretly observing the grandson's every word and deed.

Although he was less than twenty years old, this grandson was able to twist all the generals into a single rope, even if Zheng He, an eunuch, was made the deputy commander, no one would be dissatisfied.

He originally thought that Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, would not be convinced, but he was also subdued by his grandson.

When the two countries go to war, it is natural not to talk about benevolence and righteousness, but burning the city will damage the peace of heaven.

But Jin Chun saw the high morale and loyalty of the generals.

As for the extortion of the generals behind, the daimyo is even more of a businessman.But when they really started to do business, those Japanese people all smiled.

More importantly, the 10,000+ army went out and cost a lot. In just a few days, Daming earned back the expenses and the materials needed to build two big cities.

Those Japanese people were afraid of Daming like ghosts, and the 5000-person Jingguan made the Japanese hate Daming, but now why do those Japanese dig out gold and silver and want to trade with Daming?

Taisun asked him to act as a recruiter to appease the people. He originally thought it was a hard job.But in just a few days, the ruins of Osaka are around, and those Japanese seem to have forgotten their hatred.No need to appease, just trade with them, and they will be overjoyed.

It seems that this grandson has never followed the right path, so why did all the things accumulate and get the best result?

He felt that he still needed to read it again. The more he couldn't understand it, the more he should read and think about it.

On the evening of the day when the army went to Kyoto, the transport fleet from Ming Dynasty arrived in Osaka Bay.

They brought the food needed by the army and various supplies to repair the battleship.It was only when I came that I realized that apart from the lack of food, the current army was almost full of other supplies and looked like a hundred cargo ships.

On Nangang Island, there are still mountains of various supplies.

Yang Zhangde was anxious all the way. After seeing Zhu Zhanji, he knew that the Shenji Camp had left for Kyoto, and that Jin Yiwei's action had been arranged, and he was extremely disappointed.

He came to Dongpu to make military exploits, but he was no longer needed here.

On the second day, Yang Zhangde, who hadn't slept all night, visited Zhu Zhanji.

It was useless to be anxious at this time, he could only report to Wudang and his party in detail, and then called up the 36 people sent by Wudang.

The 36 people were headed by Xuan Cheng, who was nearly [-] years old, and most of the others were only in their early twenties.
