Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 422 Taiwan Province

Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan, and Liu Wenxiu led five thousand Dragon Banner troops to destroy the Dadu Kingdom overnight.

The speed is so fast that it has greatly shocked the various forces in Taiwan. Some ethnic minorities in Taiwan who have ideas no longer dare to make changes, or even think about it.

Zheng Chenggong, who received the news, felt a little unbelievable about this, and rushed back to the barracks overnight to condolences to Long Teng's army.

You must know that it took more than four hours for the Dragon Banner Army to travel at night when they went there, and they were able to return to the station quickly before dawn.

"Report to the governor, the Dragon Banner Army has returned victoriously, and is now less than two miles away from the barracks."

"Okay, all generals, follow me to the camp to welcome the Dragon Banner Army's triumphant return."

After receiving the news of the victory of the Dragon Banner Army, Zheng Chenggong personally led three deputy governors and a dozen naval generals to welcome the Dragon Banner Army.

As soon as they walked out of the barracks, they saw Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan, Liu Wenxiu, three generals of the Dragon Banner Army leading all the soldiers urging their horses.

Zheng Chenggong is the highest garrison officer in Taiwan appointed by the emperor, but when the riot broke out, Zheng Chenggong was not there.

Li Dingguo took the initiative to attack without hesitation, and quickly quelled the riot, which was tantamount to indirectly helping Zheng Chenggong.

Otherwise, when things get out of hand and Zheng Chenggong is sending troops to wipe them out, it will definitely cost far more than now, and he will not be able to explain to the emperor by then.

In order to express his gratitude to the Dragon Banner Army, Zheng Chenggong smiled and stepped forward to hold the reins of Li Dingguo Yan Yingyuan's horse and said with a smile:
"Thank you to the Dragon Banner Army for sending troops to quell the chaos. To show a little affection, let Zheng Chenggong lead the horse for the general..."

Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan, Liu Wenxiu, Zheng Chenggong and others are similar in age, they are all young talents of Ming Dynasty, and they usually have a very harmonious relationship.

Seeing Zheng Chenggong like this, Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan and Liu Wenxiu hurriedly jumped off the horse and saluted Zheng Chenggong:
"Captain, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. As the generals of the Ming Dynasty, we should serve the country. The governor must not do this."

"Haha, well, let's go in and celebrate for you."

The four of them walked into the barracks holding hands, talking and laughing, and the Dragon Banner Army behind them all had smiles on their faces.

Back at the barracks, Zheng Chenggong wrote down the achievements of the Dragon Banner Army one by one, and then held a banquet to celebrate the achievements of the Dragon Banner Army.

The next day

The Ming army trained on time as usual, and they did not delay their training because they were complacent about seizing Taiwan and destroying the big belly country.

"Report to the governor, a fleet is coming from the other side, and it is currently about five kilometers away from us."

Zheng Chenggong was standing on the deck of Hongwuhao, watching the training of the Ming Navy, when the observation post came to report. "

The other side is the other side of the Taiwan Strait, which is the fleet from Fu.

Zheng Chenggong immediately grabbed the binoculars on his chest and looked towards the opposite bank. Sure enough, he found a fleet coming with the wind and waves.

The dragon flag of Ming Dynasty was hoisted on the warships, and there were five iron-clad warships among them. Seeing another iron-clad warship approaching, Zheng Chenggong's face immediately revealed a joyful expression.

He is the captain of the navy, every ironclad warship joining the Daming Navy will raise the strength of the Daming Navy to a higher level, can he not be happy?

On the deck of the first battleship stood three Ming officials, one civilian and two military officers.

Zheng Chenggong only knew one of them, Huang Ming from the Qi Family Army. This man was proficient in amphibious warfare and was one of the important members of the Qi Family Army.

Zheng Chenggong didn't know the other two, but they didn't look like ordinary people. They must have been sent by the higher authorities to inspect Taiwan.

"Order, the battleship turns the rudder to meet it, and fires three salutes at the same time."

"Yes"

After Qianhu agreed, he just turned around and took two steps, but stopped:
"Captain, there are no salutes on our battleship?"

Zheng Chenggong stretched out his hand to touch his chin:
"Oh, this governor ignored it, raised the muzzle and fired the signal cannon in a safe direction."

"Yes"

Qianhu agreed, then turned around and left.

"bang bang bang"

The Hongwu ship fired three cannons, and the twenty warships immediately changed formation, and lined up in unison to welcome the distinguished guests. The formation was quite mighty.

Huang Ming is definitely a veteran who has experienced many battles. He has been fighting beside Qi Jiguang. When fighting against the Japanese pirates, he also commanded Qi's army to beat the Japanese pirates at sea.

But he had never seen a scene like today, and he didn't even dare to imagine that after Zheng He's voyages, the Ming Navy would have such a powerful and domineering day.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion to the two officials beside him:
"This is my mighty teacher of the Ming Dynasty. He is really extraordinary. No wonder the current emperor is so disdainful to those foreign devils."

Those two clasped their fists in the direction of the capital and said:

"What General Huang said is very true. I have long heard that the current emperor is a rare emperor in the ages. In the near future, the meritorious service of the emperor will definitely be higher than that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu."

While the two were talking, the Hongwu had come to about 200 meters away from their battleship. Zhang Chenggong stood on the bow of the battleship and looked at Huang Ming with a smile.

Seeing Zheng Chenggong, Huang Ming cupped his fists and saluted Zheng Chenggong:

"Captain, Huang Ming is ordered to send two officials to serve here. These two are the new prefect and governor of Taiwan."

Those two also clasped their hands to Zheng Chenggong:

"Next to Zhang Jiayu, Chen Bangyan has met the governor."

Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed when he heard that the person who came was the new Taiwan parent official. He prefers to lead the army and fight, but he is not good at governing the country. It would be best for someone to take over.

Zheng Chenggong cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Okay, the Holy Majesty has finally sent someone, please hurry up."

After Zheng Chenggong said, he waved his hand, and the flagship quickly played the semaphore to welcome the distinguished guests. Dozens of warships immediately began to turn their rudders and change formations, escorting the first Taiwan governor to land on the island.

Back in Zeelandia City, Huang Ming met several old friends again, and the generals hugged each other happily.

Back then when they fought against the captives together, they formed a deep life-and-death friendship. Since the establishment of the Dragon Teng Army, they have never met each other again.

Seeing Huang Ming, Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan and others playing happily like children, Zhang Jiayu and Chen Bangyan showed envious expressions on their faces.

After playing happily for a while, Huang Ming solemnly took out the imperial edict:
"The imperial decree has arrived. Zheng Chenggong, the commander of the Navy, and Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan, and Liu Wenxiu of the Dragon Banner Army have received the decree."

Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo and others were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect Huang Ming to come with an imperial edict.

Seeing the four people staring at them in a daze, without responding for a while, Huang Ming knew what they were thinking, so he repeated:
"Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan and Liu Wenxiu received the order."

Only then did the four of them come to their senses, and hurriedly knelt down to accept the order:
"Minister, Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan and Liu Wenxiu took over the order."

Under normal circumstances, eunuchs pass the decree, but this time Zhu Youjian broke the routine and asked Huang Ming to escort Zhang Jiayu and Chen Bangyan to bring the decree along the way.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said..."

The general meaning of the imperial decree is that the Ming Dynasty formally established Taiwan Province and established the Taiwan Navy Ocean Base in Taiwan.

Urge Zheng Chenggong, the governor of the navy, to train the navy quickly, build an invincible ocean-going fleet for Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and prepare for the ocean-going fleet of the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Yingyuan was ordered to lead a thousand-man Dragon Banner Army to station in Taiwan, and Li Dingguo led the Dragon Banner Army to return to the mainland.
