He used the main force of the navy to meet the enemy, and the other ships were defending Meizhou Island. He was worried that his defeat would affect Zhu Xu on Meizhou Island. He hoped there would be a delay for Zhu Xu to run first.

Xiong Wencan and Zhu Yujian looked at each other, they both heaved a sigh of relief and looked happy.

Not only won a big victory, but also made them unable to understand the true details of Franji and the red-haired man. This is really rare and great news!

Zhu Xu, who was waiting anxiously on Meizhou Island, did not know the specific battle report until the next day.

He was sitting at the table, holding Xiong Wencan's playbook with trembling hands, the corners of his face were twitching non-stop, and he didn't know what expression he was in. Anyway, his eyes were extremely excited and wide open.

This news really shocked him. After the shock, he was very excited, so excited that he couldn't control himself.

The great victory in this battle signified that the hegemony in the Far East and even in the Asian seas would belong to the Ming Dynasty, and those things he was worried about would all be a thing of the past!

"Your Majesty, calming tea." Cao Huachun walked over gently and handed him a cup of tea.

Zhu Xu immediately said angrily: "Go, go, what calming tea do you want? I'm in a good mood..." Even though he said that, he reached out to take it, his heart was beating violently, and he held back I took a sip.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu, knowing that he was in a good mood, so he also smiled and stood aside.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, but his mood was still hard to calm down.

The Dutch and the Spaniards have all seen how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, and they will never send a large army thousands of miles away to fight the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible to do it, and it will take two years to go back and forth!Second, the gain outweighs the loss, regardless of victory or defeat, they cannot stay permanently, and Asia will still belong to the Ming Dynasty!The third is that they don't have that strength at all, and they can't even come up with a navy of one hundred and eighty thousand!

The Ming Dynasty now has more than 100 medium-sized warships, and it can continue to increase to [-] in a short period of time. If it is really a decisive battle, Zhu Xu is confident that he can fight it!

In short, Zhu Xu is full of confidence now!

The navy that has gone through such a battle will definitely be reborn!

A lot of things came to Zhu Xu's mind at once, and all kinds of wonderful thoughts flooded him, making him overwhelmed, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help being intoxicated.

There are really too many wonderful things, which Zhu Xu has been imagining and dreaming for a long time, and now it is finally becoming a reality!

After an unknown amount of time, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Cao is expected to arrive later today."

Zhu Xu was stunned, came to his senses, and quickly said: "Order the navy not to slack off, prepare twenty medium ships, thirty small ships, empty ones, complete with firearms, food and grass. Then order Yu Anxing to prepare 5000 men , Stand by from now on!"

He broke free from his fantasy, squinting his eyes with a cold look.

This matter can't be left alone. Spain massacred the people of Ming Dynasty and bullied them to the top. How could it be defeated and let them flee back?

Philippines, no, Luzon Zhu Xu is about to be settled, and Spain will never come back from now on!

The Dutch are now completely annihilated. Although Daming cannot accept all of their territory, they must get hold of a few key areas and teach them a profound lesson!

After all, Cao Huachun was born as a literati, and his personality tends to be more conservative. He was silent for a while, and said a rare remonstrance: "Your Majesty, you have been out of the palace for a long time, should you continue to patrol and return to Beijing as soon as possible?"

Being in this big environment, Zhu Xu is already used to it, and said with a mysterious smile: "When you see the benefits later, you will regret telling me so, go and deliver the decree, by the way, when will those people arrive?"

Cao Huachun was slightly stunned, and continued to drink: "The Khan of Horqin, the special envoy of Chahar, and the two princes of North Korea set off half a month ago. Prime Minister, he set off six days ago. The lords of the Annan Mo Clan, the Zheng Clan, and the Ruan Clan’s special envoys had already set off two days ago. Envoys from Burma, Nanzhang and other countries also set off two days ago. Zuo Liangyu, many Dorgon and the others have already set off, and it is estimated that they will arrive in four days at most..."

Zhu Xu took a deep breath and said, "Well, order them to speed up, why are the heavy armored cavalry taught by Zhao Late?"

"Go back to the emperor, we will be there in three days." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu nodded, thinking for a while with deep eyes, and said: "Order Tang Wang to coordinate, this military exercise is for me, Da Ming, and Da Ming Fanbang. If anyone loses my face, I will never forgive him lightly!"

"Follow the order!" Cao Huachun said.

The navy was cleaning up the battlefield quickly, and everyone was very excited. After seeing these red-haired ghosts, Franji's external strength was strong, and they were full of confidence and courage.

Xiong Wencan, Tang Wang didn't have time to come back to report, he was inspecting the entire Taiwan battlefield to understand the specific situation, and then went back to the base.

In the evening, Cao Wenzhao arrived in a busy manner. As soon as he met him, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor for his victory over Xiyi. My great Ming emperor is mighty and mighty, spreading all over the world. Your majesty is as brave as Taizu Taizong!" , Wenzhiwugong, unprecedented in ancient times..."

Zhu Xu sat there, listening to his flattery, couldn't help laughing, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'm happy now, if you make me forget my self, a beating will be light!"

When Cao Wenzhao saw that the emperor was still in his original state, he felt relieved, stood up and said with a smile: "The humble minister finally learned it, the emperor should at least be happy."

Zhu Xu stood up with a smile, looked at him and said, "I am happy. I know everything you did in Ryukyu and Satsuma. You did a good job. After this time, I will give you the rank of general!"

After the military reform of the Ming Dynasty, there were three titles above the general army, general, general, and marshal, without specific powers and positions, which was a kind of honor.However, Daming does not have a general now, whoever is the first will definitely be full of glory, honoring the ancestors!

Cao Wenzhao's face was overjoyed, he hurriedly restrained himself, and approached with his eyes wide open: "Your Majesty, is the time ripe?"

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled up, and with his hands behind his back, he sneered and said, "This time, the whole army of the Francopilots was dispatched. There were only three or four ships. Hundreds of people fled back. The entire Luzon added up to less than a thousand guards. They were all guards." Local miscellaneous soldiers, tell me, is the time enough?"

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Wenzhao begs for orders, for the emperor, for my Ming Dynasty to open up the territory and build another province!"

Zhu Xu smiled even more, but Cao Wenzhao understood his thoughts, waved his hands and said, "Well, as long as you know this, don't be in a hurry. When you go, you will play the role of the savior and drive out the Franji people. , and then attack the powerful and evil gentry and control some people. We don’t want to hold everything in our hands. The governor and even the governor can let it out. Tai, you can collect enough tax, food and money. As for the academy, enlightenment and so on, you must also work hard. I won’t tell you more about these things, but let people do it. Your task is to wipe out the Franji people. Also, Malacca, Batavia and other rich places that belong to the red-haired people will also be taken down by me, let’s go and look at the map..."

Seeing that Zhu Xu was talking about business, Cao Wenzhao didn't dare to make jokes, so he followed him to the war room.

Zhu Xu spread out the map and said: "We must take all of Luzon. The land here is fertile. We need to organize local people to plant and build farms... Some people will do these things. How about you? Take Luzon, and then Batavia In these places in Malacca, the Dutch occupy too many places, and they cannot take them all at once. The key is to build cities and naval bases in these places. As long as they hold them, they are all ours. Come on..."

Cao Huachun looked at the map. It was indeed a very vast place. If he wanted to take it all down and hold it steady, he would not be able to do it for more than half a year.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the map, and said: "These places are almost all natives, and they are frightened when they see firearms. Of course, without them, you are not your opponent, but try not to use weapons. We are here to rescue them. , It’s okay to give some sweetness in advance, there are various methods, I have taught you before, 'coercion and temptation', slowly annexing them, government affairs, military, economy, culture and other aspects, we don't want to be ahead, but we must actually control... ...Once Luzon and Malacca are occupied, I will completely open the sea ban, and the money and food that my Ming urgently needs can be supplemented from these places..."

Cao Wenzhao understood Zhu Xu's meaning, and said: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will go and see Malacca in person, and then build the city according to the situation, and then station the army. Let alone only 8000 or [-] people, even if it is [-], I will not be afraid Keep it outside!" He saw that this Malacca is very important, as long as it is blocked here, the sea to the north is up to Ming, and he can do whatever he wants, and he no longer has to worry about the red-haired man, the Franji man It can be called the Shanhaiguan Pass on the sea!

Zhu Xu naturally trusted Cao Wenzhao, and said, "Well, I won't tell you anything else. I have already asked Yu Anxing to prepare 3 people under your command. The navy is also preparing fifty ships. The ship, complete with artillery, is much better than those merchant ships before you. Yu Anxing stayed in Luzon, and I am very optimistic about him, Malacca, who do you think is suitable?"

Cao Wenzhao thought about it, and said for a while: "Your Majesty, Yang Sichang has a broad mind, so it is appropriate."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. This person is really good. If he was guarding Malacca, he would feel at ease. He nodded and said: "Well, it's him. He will arrive in Fujian in two days, and I will let him go there. By the way, I am going to let the king of Tang conduct a grand sea-land joint military exercise. You have experience in this field. When the king of Tang comes back, you can give him some advice. Going out to sea overnight, bringing along the familiar sea merchants, as well as the surrendered Francines and red-haired captives as guides..."

"Yes!"

Cao Wenzhao responded with a calm face, and he could hear that Zhu Xu's words were a little messy, which showed that his mind was agitated.

Zhu Xu is indeed still very excited now, and he has no way to calm down. He has discovered it himself, but he doesn't care about it. He continued: "You can handle matters in the South China Sea according to your own circumstances, but you can make decisions on the fly, so don't be too rigid. The red-haired man’s warehouse, except for a part that was taken out to buy Renxin, the rest was shipped back to me. I have a “gold and silver village” in Nanzhili, and Bumbutai is in charge. Goods, etc., should be registered. Give it to him, gold, silver and treasure... send it to the palace, my money has been empty for many years..."

"Those sites that are not Dutch, Franji people, don't move for now, communicate with them, it is best to establish a tribute relationship..."

"By the way, the Mongolian tribes, North Korea, Satsuma, Ryukyu, and Annan and other places, all choose some people to send over, let them gain some glory, and know the benefits of being in our Ming Dynasty..."

"The red-haired man, Franji and others try not to kill them. I want some of them to go back to deliver letters, and I will keep those who are useful..."

"What I care about most is food, gold and silver are second. If some places have fertile land, but there are no people, you can immigrate the victims of the disaster in the country, or you can hire the local aborigines..."

"For rebellion, don't be soft-hearted. The suppression must be thorough, sharp, and have a deterrent effect..."

Cao Wenzhao has been listening very carefully, but in fact his heart is already anxious, and he can't wait to lead his troops to the battle immediately!
