My Daming New Empire

All this is true.

And Zhu Zhanji returned to the temporary residence, but he did not rest, but was busy arranging tasks. "Call the young army, Habayashi Wei, and the commanders of the three major naval fleets."

Zhu Zhanji arrested people wantonly, these coaches were all gearing up, and they all waited in other courtyards if they wanted to make great contributions.After a while, dozens of generals gathered together.

Zhu Zhanji sat on the throne at the top of the hall, thinking about his next move.

Against the Green Sect, he was like punching a pile of cotton, seemingly hard, but did little damage to the opponent.

Because religion does not have a political structure on the surface, their beliefs come from people's hearts.If you want to change, removing the soil for survival is only the first step. What is more important is to use education and the environment to subtly influence it.

But for the Bengkulu tribe, the chicken he wanted to kill could effectively kill their ability to survive and destroy their power structure.

The great leader once said: despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically.

Since Zhu Zhanji wants to kill chickens and scare monkeys, he will make a good start in the Nanyang region to deter all countries and tribes. Perfect tactical preparations are still required.

The Bengkulu tribe is in the southwest of Palembang. There are mountains and mountains between Palembang. It is most suitable to attack from the sea to the south.

However, most of these tribes have no money left, and they can run as they say.

If you want to attack them, what you are afraid of is not that they will resist, but that they will hold back the army after they escape.

As long as time goes by, the harsh battlefield will make soldiers depressed and the military expenditure will be too high.

Xue Lu wanted to do meritorious service in front of Zhu Zhanji, so he recommended himself: "Your Highness, the Bengkulu tribe is surrounded by the sea in the south and mountains in the north. It is narrow and long from east to west, and the terrain is complicated. But in my view, my strategic purpose of Minggulu is only to punish They are not trying to destroy them. I am willing to lead an army to go straight to Huanglong and arrest the Wanmao family and their family to the Old Port..."

Zheng He didn't dare to lose Zhu Zhanji's face in front of outsiders, but now there are no outsiders.He clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Lahat's behavior is more like an individual's behavior, rather than the whole Bengulu tribe having a rebellious heart. The matter has not reached the point of war. I am willing to go to Minggu as a special envoy Lu Tribe, persuade Wan Mao to serve His Highness."

Xue Lu said disdainfully: "Why does my Ming need the help of a mere Bengkulu tribe? If you dare to oppose my Ming, you will be killed without mercy."

Zheng He shook his head and said: "No, one Bengkulu is not a big deal, but the entire Sumatra Island is a big deal. Today, the southern part of Sumatra Island is occupied by Majapahit, and then there is Palembang, which is occupied by Chinese. Except for Aceh in the north, The Orphan Country, etc., the rest of the area is dozens of tribes occupying a piece of land each. One Bengkulu is insignificant, but if because of them, dozens of tribes unite to fight against me, Minggu, it will be a big deal."

Zheng He is the director of the navy. Zhu Zhen, Zhang Yong and other generals either served him as subordinates before, or they were familiar with the local conditions in the Nanyang region, and they knew Zheng He's prestige in Nanyang.

So except for Youjun and Habayashi Wei, no one in the navy refuted his words.

Even Zhu Zhanji thought Zheng He's words made sense.Although he is a bit of a good old man, his vision is still very broad.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Since the Duke of Dian is sure of this, I will do what you want. You will lead two young guards and [-] navies to appease the Minggulu tribe from the sea. However, if Wan Mao was obsessed with his obsession, so he carried out the beheading operation and killed all the Wanmao family, young and old, is it possible to do it?"

Zheng He hesitated for a moment, knelt down on one knee and said, "I would like to issue a military order!"

Zhu Zhanji laughed. "That's very good. Next, we will formulate a military plan around the actions of Lord Dian. The rest of the ministries must actively cooperate with the actions of Lord Dian."

Although the expedition of [-] troops is by sea, it is also a cumbersome thing to deal with logistical supplies, weapons and equipment.

More importantly, since the beheading operation was to be carried out, there should not be too many troops, and the Bengkulu tribe could not be scared away from the beginning.

But the troops sent out must be elite and able to fight tough battles.

Since Zheng He is the commander-in-chief, Xue Lu is not suitable to be his subordinate.Zhao Yongliang leads the Habayashi Guard, which is Zhu Zhanji's elite guard army, and he cannot leave Zhu Zhanji around.

Therefore, after some discussions, Liu An, the commander of the capital, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the young army, who was responsible for leading [-] young troops to assist Zheng He.

Thank you for seeing people with lights, I spit on you, and the reward of bamboo sticks, thank you for your support

Chapter 23 Arrangement and send-off

Liu An is the second son of Liu Jiang, Governor of the Navy, but his brother died young. Although he is the second son, he is the heir of the Liu family.

He joined the army with his father since he was a child, and has experienced many battles in Liaodong. Although he is not a peerless general, he can also be called a good leader.

Since Liu Jiang was conscripted by Zhu Zhanji as the captain of the navy, Liu An was assigned to the Shenji Battalion when he returned to Beijing to serve as the commander of the military and guard capital.

After accepting the change of firearms, he participated in the conquest of Japan, and he never made mistakes in marching and fighting.

After the Battle of Dongying, he left his father's relationship. In order to win over Liu Jiang, Zhu Zhanji asked him to join the Youjun and became one of the four commanders of the Youjun.

Although he went to the West with Zhu Zhanji this time, and his father was the governor of the navy, he did not belong to the navy sequence, but the army sequence, under the leadership of Xue Lu.

It was almost daylight, but the long meeting had just come to an end.Everyone has no time to rest, and they have to prepare for the army to go out.

Zhu Zhanji also didn't feel sleepy, leaving behind Liu An, Chen Li and Zhang Fengshan, who now belonged to Yu Linwei, and Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying.

Chen Li and Zhang Fengshan were the earliest generals who followed Zhu Zhanji. Although they were only the generals and general banners of the Habayashi Guard at the beginning, they are now only the garrison and deputy garrison.

But the two of them have another position, that is, the head of the Habayashi School and the chief supervisor.This made them dare not really ignore them even if they were in the big tent lined with high-ranking generals.

The original young army, today's Habayashi Weixue, has become a shining sign in the Ming army.

Although the number of soldiers trained here has not exceeded [-], but after ten years of hard work, every soldier trained from Habayashi Guard is an elite who is highly valued by the military guards of the Ming Dynasty.

There are even many orphans who have graduated from Habayashi guards and now have achieved the post of defense, which is higher than the two of them, but no orphan dares to be proud in front of them, let alone forget their roots.

In this era, the idea of ​​heaven, earth, monarch, parent, and teacher is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not just a casual talk that one day is a teacher and a lifelong father.

Anyone who dares to disobey the two will be betrayed by all, and there will be no place for them in the world.

Moreover, although their official positions are not high, it also depends on their position.An ordinary garrison is of course just an ordinary character, but a garrison who is highly valued by a grandson is something no one dares to treat lightly.

Just like Huang Yuan, it is just an ordinary garrison now, but those commanders, generals, even admirals, the governor dare not ignore it.

If Zhu Zhanji released the two of them, at least they could be promoted to the position of commander.

Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying have not had the opportunity to show their loyalty in front of Zhu Zhanji for a long time since the Battle of Dongpu.

Now that they finally have a place to use, both of them are very active and want to make more contributions.

Apart from them, there were only Jin Kuo and Sun Lin, the two supervisors in the hall, and Li Liang stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from hearing their decisions.

Most of the people didn't rest all day and night. So many things happened yesterday, they were all highly stressed, and everyone was exhausted.

Zhu Zhanji himself nestled on the dragon chair, and his two long legs were placed on the table in front of him. "Everyone should be more at ease. It's too tiring to put on a posture every day. Liu An..."

Liu An sat up straight, cupped his fists and said, "The minister is here."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand with a smile and said: "Be at ease, just treat it as we are chatting. Do you know why I left you alone?"

Liu An still said solemnly: "Your Highness has other arrangements, which will be carried out."

Zhu Zhanji nodded. "I like smart people. If they have the ability, they will show it in front of me. The kind of people who are as good as the light, afraid of being the first bird, are not easy to use in front of me."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes swept around in front of everyone, and then returned to Liu An's face and said: "This time you are the commander-in-chief of the young army, so naturally we must respect the opinions of the Duke of Dian, but... When the Duke of Dian's decision is not in the interests of Ming Dynasty, if you are alone to lead the young army, you can act on your own."

Liu An said with some embarrassment: "How should I judge that the actions of Duke Dian are not in line with Ming's interests?"

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Why do you think Gu insists on starting this war?"
