I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Now that the three guards are surrendering to Daming, all they need is an imperial decree to send troops together, and the force is absolutely sufficient.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "You are right, I think so too."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty is wise, this old slave didn't think of it before."

Although the flattery came suddenly and too deliberately, Zhu Youxiao still caught it and said:

"The supervisor of ceremonies drafted an order and sent it to the three guards in Saibei to let them send troops. As for the name, it is even simpler."

"Let's just say that Na Muzhong's wife is not upright, and she is not worthy of being Ke Dun of Great Mongolia!"

"Also, spread rumors that Na Muzhong had an affair with Nu Chief, and that Er Zheding is also Huang Taiji's bastard. I will clean up the door for the Golden Family!"

"By the way, send an imperial edict to Chahar again, and mention Lin Danhan. I'm already like this. Is he not going to express it again?"

Chapter 566 The Denglai Navy Forms Combat Power

"Master, the sky is wise!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately knelt down, lowered his eyebrows and looked up and said: "I think Lin Danhan must be very angry after accepting this edict."

Zhu Youxiao also felt that what he had done was a little too much.

But having said that, there is nothing to do about it. Lindan Batur and Na Muzhong are the political marriage of Chahar and Yehe, so it is not surprising that such a thing happened.

Especially after the Yehe tribe was destroyed by Jianzhou, Lin Danbatur wanted to "rest" Na Muzhong, a Ketun.

However, he has been in the grassland for many years, his prestige is not low, and there are [-] families behind him to support him, so he has been put on hold.

In other words, since the demise of the Yehe tribe and the death of Jin Taiji in the hands of Nurhachi, the marriage between Lindan Batur and Na Muzhong has been in name only.

The fat was delivered to his mouth, and he couldn't just watch him being delivered to Huang Taiji's mouth. These [-] households migrated there, and they could become [-] cavalry in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, not intending to say more about this matter, but instead asked:

"Zhongxian, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Nothing can escape my master's eyes." Wei Zhongxian stood up and leaned down, "There is one more thing, this old slave thinks it is very important, so I must inform him personally."

"Tell me, I'm listening." After saying this, Zhu Youxiao turned back to look at Zhang Yan, and looked at Wei Zhongxian.

The latter clearly noticed that Emperor Tianqi's eyes were still tender and affectionate just now, but in an instant there was a trace of coldness, and his voice also cooled down with the cold wind in January.

Such a change made Wei Zhongxian dumbfounded and terrified in his heart, he knelt down slumped, looking a little at a loss.

This old slippery man has a lot of eyes, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't know if he is pretending or if he is really afraid of himself.

Right now, Wen Tiren has not yet returned to the court, and the Zhejiang Party has not yet achieved success. In the cabinet, most of the elders were members of the Wei Party before the elimination of Donglin. The Wei Party still has a lot of power in the court.

Unloading the grind and killing the donkey has to be done step by step. Although Wei Zhongxian has been relatively honest last year, he still can't always give any good looks.

After a long time with a good face, it's hard to keep him floating!

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to go that far with Wei Zhongxian in his heart, but he would never allow the historical "nine thousand years old" to appear around him.

If this old Wei can keep a low profile like this all the time and don't do anything out of the ordinary, everything else will be easy to handle.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao deliberately sneered and said:

"What is the relationship between you and me? To put it bluntly, have I ever treated you badly?"

Wei Zhongxian heaved a sigh of relief, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said:

"I still remember that Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian in the Penghu sea battle, recruited a coastal bandit named Zheng Zhilong."

It turned out that it was about the Zheng family, Zhu Youxiao's eyes moved slightly.

Calculating the time, I came to the Ming Dynasty, and there have been no changes in maritime affairs. According to the time, the fifth year of Tianqi is also the time when Shibazhi was established and the Zheng family began to rise.

The age of great navigation, but I was bound by the captives of the west and the captives of the east.

In addition to the frontiers, there are natural and man-made disasters that are intensifying in the country. If it hadn't come early, everything is still unknown.

"I remember, what happened to him?"

Zhu Youxiao frowned, thinking back.

After the victory in the naval battle in the second year of Tianqi, Yu Zizao, the general soldier of Fujian, led the navy and officers to encircle Penghu and surrounded the Yicheng built by the red-haired fans. After four months of fierce fighting, Penghu was finally recovered in the spring of the third year of Tianqi.

In this day of the apocalypse, I heard four great victories in the frontier, and I even personally conquered the chieftain in the Southwest, who was the first to go to the battlefield. How prosperous Lu Gong is!

In contrast, Haigong only had the battle of Penghu, which was quite inferior.

Even the Battle of Penghu was won with unreasonable wolf pack tactics because of the large number of ships and high mobility.

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao read the battle report, and the key to the Battle of Penghu was that many naval officers and soldiers regarded death as home, and used their lives to hold back the Galen warship that was about to retreat.

Once the opponent's Galen battleship is allowed to leave the coastal waters, the dragon will enter the sea, and it will not be able to catch up or fight.

If that is the case, there will be no Zhenlu Cannon.

The power and range of the Zhenlu cannon are slightly higher than the second echelon of the main equipment of the Ming army stationed in various places-"Shenwei General Cannon", but it is far inferior to the Hongyi cannon at the head of Ningyuan City.

However, in comparison, the Zhenlu Cannon is extremely cost-effective, can be loaded into a car, and is easy to carry. This will quickly become the main artillery of the Nine Frontier Army.

At present, there is basically no change in the naval divisions in various places in Ming Dynasty. There is only one reason, that is, there is not so much money.

Zhu Youxiao only moved to two places, Fujian and Denglai.

The Fujian navy had fought against the Dutch fleet and had little combat experience against the West. As for Denglai, it mainly followed Yuan Keli's advice.

Even the two naval divisions of Fujian and Denglai have limited strength now.

The main warship of the Fujian Navy is still the old Cangshan ship. After the Battle of Penghu, the craftsmen of the Armament Division tried to equip the Cangshan ship with Zhenlu guns as ship-borne guns.

Unfortunately, it failed.

Facts have proved that the Cangshan ship should have been eliminated a long time ago. This kind of warship is suitable for fighting in shallow water, and it is already very difficult to get it in shallow water.

As for the ship-borne suppressing captive artillery, it is equivalent to handing a pistol to a child. It is useless, but a waste of time, energy, and money.

Since the imperial court can only maintain one Denglai navy in the short term, as a navy with Fuchuan as the main force, the Fujian navy might as well settle for the next best thing, and use the skilled wolf pack tactics of the Ming army to the extreme!

This was the suggestion of Fujian General Soldier Yu Zizao. After much deliberation at the time, Zhu Youxiao finally adopted this suggestion.

Therefore, after the Battle of Penghu, the Fujian Navy added more than [-] officers and soldiers.

In addition, small boats were vigorously collected from the people, and nearly [-] net shuttle boats and fire dragon boats were remodeled, all over the coast of Fujian, and checkpoints were set up everywhere.

In the five years since Tianqi, it has almost achieved five departments and one post, and ten steps and one sentry.

In the final analysis, the Fujian Navy is not good at quality, and wins with quantity.

To put it bluntly, small boats don’t cost money anyway, and each boat only has three or five sailors, so I don’t feel bad about losing it.

The Fujian Navy of this scale has become the second main navy after the Denglai Navy, but it is mainly responsible for coastal security and maintaining commercial roads.

The real tough battle depends on the first main force, that is, the Denglai Navy under the command of Denglai Governor Yuan Keli.

The organizational system of the two prefectures of Denglei is quite special.

Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, was added in the first year of Tianqi. At that time, it was temporarily set up to support the Dongjiang Army in the Shandong Peninsula.

As for Shandong, there is only the Shandong General Army now, and the original Denglai General Army was dismissed by Zhu Youxiao in the second year of Tianqi.

In other words, the military and political power of the Denglai Second Mansion in Shandong is now controlled by Yuan Keli alone.

Due to the geographical characteristics of the two prefectures of Denglei, which are full of ports and surrounded by the sea on three sides, the navy has unexpectedly developed.

As of June of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Denglai Navy under Yuan Keli's command had become the first main navy of the Ming Dynasty to eliminate all Cangshan ships and small boats.

To put it bluntly, the military department of the Denglai Navy is currently one level ahead of the rest of the provincial navy, and it is comparable to the West.

All the main forces of the Denglai Navy are large-scale blessing ships equipped with Zhenlu Cannon, Hongyi Cannon, Qianjin Frang Machine Cannon, and Shenwei General Cannon, a total of 43 ships.

In addition, there are 82 medium-sized blessing boats serving as escort and patrol missions.

Let's put it this way, if the current Denglei Navy fought against the Dutch fleet that invaded Penghu three years ago, the battle would be overwhelming.

The performance of the Dafu ship and its combat effectiveness after entering the sea are already on the same level as the Galen warship, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advent of the Zhenlu Cannon and its widespread use in the military has made up for the lack of long-range shooting capabilities of the Dafu Ship.

Daming has a large number of ships and a large number of people. This is a huge advantage when the combat capability is almost equal.

Of course, after five years of vigorous development, there is only one Denglei Navy that can still do it.

Now Zhu Youxiao can finally say that if the Dutch dare to come again, he can really hurt them!

Even if he ran into the deep sea, he could catch up and destroy them!

With the same number of ships, the Denley Navy is definitely not an opponent of the Dutch fleet with extremely high-quality sailors, but still the same sentence, we have a lot of ships and a lot of people.

After five years of development, finally there is a Denglai Navy, so that Daming at least has the ability to protect himself.

But after all, the navy is no better than the frontier army. It's not like sending out armor, changing equipment, or sending generals to train for a year and a half, and they can go directly to win the battle.

Moreover, the naval combat talents that Zhu Youxiao has discovered are very limited at present, and the development of the Navy still has a long way to go.

Chapter 567 You Have to Reward

"In recent years, the Zheng family has developed rapidly by relying on the right to trade in the southeast sea area given to them by the Fujian governor's office."

"A few days ago, Zheng Zhilong became sworn brothers with [-] maritime merchants and pirates who came back from Japan. They were called Shibazhi. These eighteen fleets were hardly under the control of the local government."

"Master, this servant is worried that the Zheng family will become bigger!"

After hearing what Wei Zhongxian had said, Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to it. He said "um" and said lightly:

"I know what's going on with the Zheng family, just keep an eye on it."

Zhu Youxiao actually thought a lot about Zheng Zhilong.

After all, this is the generation of great voyages. I don't have the energy to develop navigation simultaneously when dealing with the Eastern and Western captives, so I need someone to do it for me.

From a historical point of view, Zheng Zhilong obviously has this ability.

The problem is that when the Qing army entered the customs later, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty without hesitation. Obviously, this is a man who is driven by fame and fortune.

It is absolutely impossible for such a person to truly submit to the imperial court.

Zhu Youxiao didn't really want to use Wei Zhongxian to kill donkeys, but the Zheng family would definitely not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes moved, and a murderous intent arose in his heart.

In short, first use Zheng Zhilong to clean up the coast, connect with the great voyage, and wait for the right time to take over the whole thing.

Feeling the suddenly solidified atmosphere in the air, Wei Zhongxian seemed to understand something, flatteringly said:

"My lord is so wise, he has long been concerned about it, and this old slave really shouldn't worry about these things."

"It's better for you to worry about it than those civil servants." Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, and just after he finished speaking, Wang Chaofu walked in:

"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting and the others are here."

Wei Zhongxian said hastily: "The old slave resigns..."

"No, you can just stay here."

Zhu Youxiao kept Wei Zhongxian, but didn't say much. The latter was taken aback when he heard the words, then stopped and waited respectfully on the side.

Shaoqing, Sun Chuanting, Zhang Wanbang, He Renlong, Qu Jiazhen and Li Hongji, five people who have made the most contributions in the battle of Hetao, walked in.

Sun Chuanting, as a supervisor, should have the merits of making decisions and commanding.

Zhang Wanbang, the commander-in-chief of Datong, led the Datong army to attack the upper reaches, control the water source, and return to aid in time, defeated Naiman's [-] cavalry, beheaded Andal, the leader of his tribe, and shocked the outside of the Great Wall.

He Renlong, a Shanxi guerrilla general, commanded the entire army to stop at night and sentry cavalry, and successfully discovered the exact location of the Chahar camp within a day.

Qujiazhen, the general of Datong, was stationed in the Beisanlu barracks, and led his troops to fight fiercely with the tribes in Monan, beheading two thousand people.

As for Li Hongji, he is the key figure in this battle.

With his keen sense of the battlefield, Li Hongji, the general manager of Ningxia, discovered the abnormal placement of several stones, and thus judged the approximate location of the Chahar Department.

This laid a solid foundation for Sun Chuanting and the army's subsequent actions.

As soon as the five people entered the palace, they felt the majesty of the Qianqing Palace, and hurriedly followed behind Sun Chuanting, Qi Qishan shouted:

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Being able to be summoned by Emperor Today as a meritorious person is almost regarded as the highest honor for a warrior.

Five people knelt on the ground, none of them dared to raise their heads to formally look at the Emperor Longyan, not even Sun Chuanting.
