Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

A few days later, in the capital of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian didn't know Huang Taiji's plan at this time.

He was looking at the battle report sent by Mao Wenlong with a smile on his face.

In just a few days, Houjin had already suffered heavy losses.

Nearly 6000 people have been expelled so far.

According to the battle report, those who killed nearly a hundred villages were slaughtered, and no chickens or dogs were left wherever they went.

Not to mention living people, even the ant nests were burned away.

What surprised Zhu Youjian even more was the fighting power unleashed by these stragglers.

Judging from the excerpt, the Houjin Tartars sent out large troops to catch pigs.

As a result, I didn't catch many people, but I lost a lot of people myself.

Seemingly unable to defeat them, they have now begun to gather all the people into the city.

"Okay! Good fight!"

"Before, these bastards were guerrillas against our country, Ming Dynasty, and made the people living on the border of our country miserable."

"Now we can finally let these bastards have a taste of what it feels like to be guerrillas."

Zhu Youjian looked at the battle report and felt a surge of relief.

So comfortable!

Although this also means that Xiaoji has gone out with 10 taels, Zhu Youjian thinks it is worth it!

This is the battle situation that the Ming Dynasty should fight in his mind.

"Taizu, I'm afraid this Tatar is useless."

"It's already barren, and I don't dare to leave the city now."

"I'm going to starve to death soon!"

In the side hall, Zhu Youjian said excitedly to Taizu after reading it.

Next to him, Zhu Yujian, who was helping to approve the memorial, was equally excited.

Those are the Tatars who have troubled the border for many years.

As a result, Taizu's hands failed to stir up any trouble.

Now it is even more suppressed and cannot even get out of the city gate.

If you look at it this way, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for a few days.

"normal."

"Don't forget who Mao Wenlong has in his hands..."

"One is the old Dongjiang Army, which has a deep blood feud with the Tatars all year round."

"The second one is the warriors selected from the Han slaves rescued when they conquered Shenyang."

"These people are even more eager to chop off the heads of the Tatars and play them as footballs."

"Even those stragglers who went there recently, most of them came from the surrounding areas of Liaodong."

"It is estimated that nine out of ten have a big hatred against the Tatars."

"We estimate that some people don't go there with the bounty in mind, but simply want to kill the Tatars to avenge their parents, brothers, wives, daughters, and nephews."

"With this group of people, there is no chance of them staying in Houjin's territory."

"The Tatars thought they were all lambs, but when they bumped into them, they realized they were a group of murderous gods who had been completely inspired by hatred."

"Besides, if we really want to talk about it, how can such a large Han people be worse than them?"

"It's time for them to recall the fear of being dominated by the Han!"

Li Chen also read the battle report, and there was no surprise.

The Dongjiang Army in Mao Wenlong's hands is probably the most elite force in the Ming Dynasty now.

Even if the Beijing camp has begun to reorganize, it will be difficult to catch up with the Dongjiang Army's combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Especially once this bounty order comes out, after Mao Wenlong collects the elite among them, his combat power will increase a lot!

These are all people who have seen blood and killed people.

"However, Mao Wenlong still has to make more preparations."

"Hou Jin has not completely lost his combat effectiveness."

"Be careful of them jumping over the wall in a hurry."

"There is no problem with those stragglers fighting against the few, but if they really encounter the main force of Houjin, they will definitely not be their opponents."

Speaking of this, Li Chen touched his chin and added a few words.

Those Tatars will definitely not sit still and wait for death.

Be careful what tricks they play.

"Don't worry Taizu, I will tell Mao Wenlong to be careful."

"But I don't think there's much that those Tatars can do against Mao Wenlong."

"Pi Island is surrounded by the sea, and there are also Denglai defenders nearby for support."

"Unless there is a large fleet besieging it, it is basically impossible to capture Pi Island."

Zhu Youjian nodded and wrote down what Taizu said, then smiled and spread his hands.

Pi Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Tatars didn't know how to build a ship, so they could only watch Pidao and scold her.

"Well... that's true..."

"But you did remind us..."

"If we remember correctly, there should be Zhu Laosi's drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship in the palace, right?"

"That thing is very important."

"Don't lose it."

As soon as he heard the word ship, Li Chen suddenly patted his head and turned around and asked.

If there is anything that is most regrettable about the Ming Dynasty, it must be the no-sea policy.

If there was no forbidden sea, relying on the family fortune left by Zhu Laosi, the Ming Dynasty's navigation industry would probably have surpassed the boss in the west!

"Zheng He's treasure ship?"

"I remember that the drawing should be in the Yongle Grand Ceremony."

"Is Taizu going to restart the construction of the treasure ship?"

Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment and thought for several seconds before answering.

The treasure ship was built by his ancestor. Needless to say, it must have been included in the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

Could it be that Taizu is preparing to build a ship now?

"Well, find the drawings and organize them."

"First organize a trip to Tianjin to select a suitable shipbuilding site."

“This shipyard must be big!”

"After it is built, we will first use the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship to make it."

"Don't delay this matter. The construction of the navy is more time-consuming and expensive than the army."

“But once it’s built, it can absorb the wealth of the world.”

"Leave it to Yu Jian to take charge of this matter."

"After all, these warships will be needed to fight against Japan later."

Li Chen exhaled and nodded.

Things at the shipyard can no longer be delayed.

If there is a strong navy as support, then no matter who you are fighting, you will have more choices.

Moreover, the navy requires a lot of time to train. The sooner it is done, the more benefits it can enjoy in advance.

Once the navy forms a large scale, it can start the Maritime Silk Trade Road!

That’s the real cornucopia.

It's a pity that I don't have the craftsmanship to make a sail battleship.

Otherwise, we can reach the world's top level from the very beginning.

Although Zheng He's treasure ships are very good, the hard sail design is still not as good as the Western soft sail design.

After all, this treasure ship was extended from an inland ship and was not created for large voyages.

But Li Chen is not in a hurry. He can first accumulate shipbuilding experience and then slowly upgrade.

If it doesn't work, just go abroad to recruit people, you can always get it done.

It is even possible that in another 20 years the sailing battleships will have to give way to the ironclads.

"Thank you Taizu!"

When Zhu Yujian saw that Taizu actually entrusted this matter to him, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face.

This shipyard is too important to him. After all, whether he can conquer Japan in the future depends on it!

Since Taizu believed in him so much, he would definitely go for it with all his strength!

This is not only for Ming Dynasty but also for his descendants!

"Well, the shipyard needs a lot of supplies."

"Ask Zhu Youjian to send you another decree."

"Ask the person in charge of the Royal Bank to cooperate with you."

"By the way, you will be the first president of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty!"

Li Chen felt relieved to leave this matter to Zhu Yujian.

By the way, he can also be asked to supervise the bank.

He is a prince and is not short of money, and he is very resistant to bribery.

Coupled with the temptation of the Japanese fiefdom, I believe he will definitely not mess around.

There is no need to risk your future for such a small amount of money.
