Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 577
After the generals sat down, Zhu Youjian said meaningfully:

"Batavia, Malacca, Luzon, and Ceylon have all been taken by Ming. It can be said that the entire South China Sea region and the Strait of Malacca have been actually controlled by Ming.

Da Ming will not colonize these places, but will turn them into Da Ming territory. There are many natives and businessmen from various countries in this area, and it is impossible for Da Ming to kill them all.

However, Da Ming will not allow the aboriginals who oppose or oppose Da Ming, as well as those who do not obey Da Ming’s rule, to exist. These people must disappear.

I thought about it, the Ming army can't do this thing, and the Ming wants to let the Spaniards take the blame, we just need to stand behind the Spaniards and remote control.

Once Daming comes to do this kind of thing, it will leave an excuse for the natives and Western colonists here. Of course, Daming is not afraid of their irresponsible remarks, because we now have the ability to crush them.

But since ancient times, my Huaxia has repaid grievances with virtue and convinced people with virtue. We want to continue to pass on this virtue. Do you understand what I mean? "

What Zhu Youjian meant was to let the Spanish colonists do immoral things.Let them bear the blame, and let them inherit the infamy.

Although there are a few big bosses here, they still understand such a simple truth, not to mention Qi Jiguang, Li Dingguo, and Zheng Chenggong, they guessed His Majesty's intentions as soon as Zhu Youjian spoke.

The generals admired the emperor's decision very much. If they wanted to behead those people directly, they would just do it if they refused to accept it. It would be no big deal.

But the emperor is killing people, it is more effective and clever than they directly stabbing people with knives, all the generals stood up and saluted:

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Zhu Youjian waved his hands and continued:
"You should also be prepared to leave none of the aborigines who besieged Liu's manor, and then find an excuse to execute them together with the people who were later captured.

I promised to send the Spaniards to Ceylon, but did not promise to guarantee their safety. The sea is rough and the waves are high. If something happens, it has nothing to do with Daming. It is God's revenge on them. "

Zhu Youjian's words stunned the generals present, but they quickly realized:

"Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor, long live long live"

All the generals felt refreshed, it turned out that they all misunderstood the emperor.

I thought His Majesty was a little merciful to the colonists, but now I know that the Holy Majesty had planned a long time ago, and he would not let a colonist who slaughtered the Chinese be spared.

After Zhu Youjian told the generals about his plan, he specifically asked them to keep it strictly confidential and not to spread it to outsiders at will, and then began to discuss the issue of Luzon's governance and garrison.

"I have decided to formally incorporate Luzon into Ming Dynasty, establish Luzon Province, set up the Luzon Protectorate, and set up an ocean-going naval base in Luzon, with a garrison of 20 troops all year round.

Zheng Chenggong, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy, is still the supreme commander of the navy of the Ming Dynasty. Now you can recommend someone to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Malacca naval base. "

Zhu Youjian knew that, in terms of ability, apart from Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang was the most capable among several deputy commanders of the Ming Navy.

However, due to historical reasons, Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang had some disagreements, and he didn't want to hand over such an important position to Shi Lang just yet.

Zheng Chenggong's loyalty is absolutely trustworthy. Although Shi Lang has no problem, he has taken refuge in the Eastern Captivity in history after all.

Zheng Chenggong got up and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I think you can choose one among Shi Lang, Huang Fei, Zhang Huangyan, Qi Tong and others. They are all very capable."

Zheng Chenggong's words made Zhu Youjian look at him with admiration. For the sake of the unity of Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong did not exclude Shi Lang in this matter.

Even his two uncles, Zheng Chenggong didn't even mention them. With Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao's ability and sea combat experience, they are also very good.

Zhu Youjian knew that Zheng Chenggong was trying to avoid suspicion, lest others say that he was nepotism. From this incident, Zheng Chenggong's character can be seen.

Zhu Youjian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Qi Jiguang:
"Qi Aiqing, what's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that all of them are capable, and Dudu Zheng's uncle is also capable. There are many candidates, and it mainly depends on His Majesty's choice."

Zheng Chenggong did not recommend his uncle, Qi Jiguang was just adding to him that, except for Qi Jiguang, none of the generals present had the right to speak to the navy.

Li Dingguo, Huang Degong and Liu Wenxiu are all land generals, and they know almost nothing about the navy. Qi Jiguang can be said to be an all-round general who can take everything from land and sea.

Zheng Chenggong smiled at Qi Jiguang to express his gratitude, and then said to Zhu Youjian:

"Your Majesty, as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy, based on my understanding of the generals of the navy, I believe that the commander of the naval base should be Shi Lang."

"Okay, I will let Shi Lang stay at the Luzon base, and leave five thousand naval soldiers and eight iron-clad battleships. After returning to the Ming mainland this time, immediately expand the scale of recruitment.

In the next three years, the number of the Ming Navy will reach 30, and at the same time, a naval and army school will be established to train outstanding young generals for the Ming Navy and Army. "

"Your Majesty"

After discussing the matter of the naval base, Zhu Youjian issued an order to build cement and steel bunkers along the coasts of some important islands, and use bunkers instead of fort defenses in the future.

As the caliber of warship guns gradually increases, it is difficult for coastal forts to effectively defend against key strikes at sea. As long as bunkers are useful, they can not only prevent intensive bombardment by warships, but also cause fatal blows to enemy landings, and at the same time enhance their own defense capabilities.

The matter of the navy came to an end for the time being, and Zhu Youjian remembered the matter of Liu's manor. There was no one who was not injured in the war, let alone some ordinary Chinese who had no combat experience.

Zhu Youjian took out some healing medicines from the system warehouse and handed them to Qi Jiguang, mainly anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicines, all of which had excellent effects.

"Qi Aiqing, you go to Liu's Manor for me, bring these medicines to treat injuries, bring all the Chinese back to the city, and bring some more drinks, as my reward for them."

Qi Jiguang hurriedly received the order, and then left Duhu Mansion with drinks and guards, and urged his horse to rush to Liu's Manor outside the city.

At this time, the Liu Family Manor had returned to calm, and the cleaning of the war had ended. Although the ground had been completely burned, a strong smell of blood could still be smelled.

The wooden wall at the front gate of the Liu Family Manor has been destroyed by artillery. There are more than a dozen Liu Jia family members on duty in front of the gate. Seeing the arrival of a Ming army, they hurried in to report:

"Master, there is a Ming army coming outside."

Zhang Shantang and Liu Fengxiang's injuries were not fatal. They were lying on the bed chatting at this time. When they heard that the Ming army was coming, they immediately asked their servants to help them get up to welcome the arrival of the Ming army.

The legs of the two were cut by the natives, and there were many injuries on their bodies. With the support of the servants, they limped to the gate of Liu's manor, and they found a Ming army standing in front of the gate.
