Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 203 The Tactic of Tired Country
The date of the return voyage has been fixed. It has been nearly three months since this trip. The New Year of Ming Dynasty has already passed, and Zhu Zhanqian is now 11 years old.

When he left Java, Prince Andari reluctantly sent dozens of miles by sea, and soon Daming's investigators would come. Once this trade is done, Prince Andari will grow in both financial resources and strength, and rely on Daming's back. With a big backer, the position of the King of Java can be said to be stable.

The first stop on my way back to the city is to go to Stormwind Harbor in Jiaozhi, and I haven't been back for nearly two months.

When we arrived at the port, we could see that the soldiers of Daming had built a lot of fortifications on the periphery, turning the port into a defensive fortress. The cannons brought from Daming were driving, and several warships were parked in the port, as well as merchant ships from Daming.

After docking, the current garrison commander in Stormwind Harbor greeted him and saluted.

"How is the situation in southern Cochin?"

The man's face was full of joy: "His Royal Highness's strategy really worked, many of the people of Cochin south of Saigon came to trade near the port, and many people paid us taxes, we also bombed Saigon three times, and now Saigon exists in name only, because The people are reluctant to pay taxes and grains to the rebels, and now the internal conflicts are intensifying.”

"Most of the rebels have already withdrawn north from Saigon."

To intensify internal contradictions and let Jiaozhi waste national strength, this is the policy of exhausting the country.

A very important factor in the war is supply. At present, the domestic productivity of Jiaozhi is backward and conflicts are frequent. They have no time to work and produce. Foreign trade routes are blocked again, and the north and south ends are surrounded, and there is no way out.

It is conceivable that they will not last long, and many people will defect to the Ming Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness, that Ruan Yang is now in the residential area outside the port. He has helped a lot of people during this time, and the people of Jiaozhi also listen to him. Would you like to meet him?"

"See, why not see, not only to see, but also to see you grandly."

"Xiaosheng prepares the guards, pass my edict to let him come to see me at the gate."

Xiaosheng took the guards to the residential area of ​​the port to find Ruan Yang, and then opened the edict: "Respect the edict of the Prince of Zhujiang County, the grain chief Ruan Yang is humble and respectful, courageous, resourceful, knowledgeable, and ambitious, hereby order Xuan Ruan. Yang went to the port to hear and hear the letter."

The lame Ruan Yang had tears in his eyes, so he came to the front of everyone with rice paper and summoned him. He had dreamed countless times in his dreams, and now it was finally coming true, and he was about to be rewarded.

He changed into his most solemn clothes, and followed Xiaosheng and the others to the outside of the port.

Zhu Zhanchang came out, and Ruan Yang immediately knelt in front of him: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, student Ruan Yang pays respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County."

Zhu Zhanchang showed his closeness to the people, walked to Ruan Yang and helped him up, and said emotionally, "It's a great honor for our army to get the help of Mr.

When Ruan Yang saw Zhu Zhanchang calling him Mr., his mental state suddenly changed.

Such a high-ranking Daming County King actually calls him Mr., which is the name given to those who have the highest academic status and the highest status.

"It is a great honor for student Ruan Yang to serve His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County."

"I have heard what Mr. has done for Daming during this period of time, to appease the people, to preach and preach, and Mr. originally thought that he was a scholar, but unfortunately he was oppressed by the rebels for many years and could not use it. Zhan was young and his ability was limited. In the future, I have to ask Mr. to help me."

"His Royal Highness, as long as there is something Ruan Yang can do, I will never postpone it. I am willing to do my best for His Royal Highness."

"Okay, okay, just being a grain chief is really too talented. From Saigon to the south, I plan to build a mansion, which is called Saigon mansion. If you don't dislike it, come to be the prefect of Saigon mansion, and I will reward you at the same time. One hundred taels of gold."

As soon as he heard that it was the prefect, Ruan Yang's eyes were full of light, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness, I...I will do my best to give my best and die."

He has longed for an official all his life, and now he is the prefect of the Ming Dynasty, which is the most important official.

Zhu Zhanchang went on to say: "Ruan Zhifu, I feel sorry for the people of Jiaozhi. Years of war and rebellion have prevented the people from recuperating, farming and harvesting. We don't know what the people want, so let's do it. I have the full authority to appoint you to manage Cochin for me, and all the officials under your command are appointed by you, and at the same time set up the Saigon Army to fight the rebels."

"Sir, obey."

Zhu Zhanchang gave him a lot of authority. Of course, Zhu Zhanchang also wanted them to fight the rebels themselves and continue to intensify the contradiction between the two sides.

"Ruan Zhifu, at the same time inform the news, Daming will be able to freely trade and trade with all the people of Jiaozhi in Stormwind Harbor. I believe this is also conducive to your management."

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness."

Ruan Yang resigned after rewarding him with a hundred taels of gold and some silver. The scene of Ruan Yang conferring the seal at the port today was seen by many people in Jiaozhi. He could really be an official following the Ming army.

As soon as Ruan Yang went back today, he immediately became a fragrant pastry, because he had the right to appoint officials below the prefectural level, and he received a large reward from Zhu Zhanchang. Ruan Yang began to move as the center.

Ruan Yang will also build a Saigon mansion, and it is up to Ruan Yang what can be done.

If you don't do it well, then Zhu Zhanchang will treat this reward as a waste. If you do it well, Ruan Yang can continue to use it in the future.

The strategy of exhausting the country, coupled with the use of barbarians to control barbarians.

Ruan Yang will definitely fight against the Li Dynasty because of his own interests, and the people will be able to live better with Daming, and the domestic cohesion is so poor that a large part will defect.

Zhu Zhanchang didn't stop there, and set off for General Zhang Fu on the same day.

Also just meet at the port.

"The British public heard that the spies were caught?"

"Well, as soon as His Royal Highness left before, there was a eunuch under Ma Qi's army who wanted to report. I didn't expect it to be Ma Qi's deputy, but I really didn't expect it."

Ma Qi's face was embarrassed, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, that man has been divided into five horses and died. It is because his subordinates were not strict with him. Please punish him."

In fact, this matter has already been reported to Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi fined Ma Qi's salary, and did not do any other punishments, Zhu Zhanchang did not say much, but advised: "I hope Ma Jianjun will be strict with himself in the future, and do a good job of this. work within.”

"As ordered, Your Highness."

"British man."

"The minister is here."

"How's Qinghua going?"

"His Royal Highness ordered the Nan family to do business with them, and the Nan family regularly sent some food items, because their internal grain production is low, and now their grain prices are extremely high, Li Youmin has the grain in his hand, and he has pushed up the grain price, and now the common people are suffering. In other words, many refugees have already escaped, and there are even wealthy households who pretend to be refugees.”

"That's good. It looks like it's almost the same. If we push further forward to compress their living space, Li Li alone can't hold on to the submission of the following group of people."

"Understood, Your Highness."

People like Li Youmin will do everything for their own benefit, and if you do this kind of thing once, you will lose your head. It is better to keep doing it. Li Youmin himself has long planned to go to Daming, but he can't do it until he can't do it. If you go to Daming, you can still be an official.

"I'm still bothering you about the British Bus Toe. I believe that according to your military ability, the annihilation of the Cochin Rebels will only happen within this year."

"The old minister must do his best."

"One more thing, British gentleman, Ma Jianjun, don't destroy the fertile fields of the fellow villagers."

"Sir, I understand."

Zhu Zhanchang left the port with a large army.

Zhang Zhong looked at the flying Henan Man, and couldn't help sighing: "Father, we thought before that His Highness wanted to do business with Li Youmin without consideration. Now it seems that His Highness is thinking more long-term than us."

"The first attack on the army, followed by the attack, the actions of His Highness are all related to trade, seized the grievances of the people in Jiaozhi because of the rebels' rampant expropriation, and also caught the insatiable character of Li Youmin and others, and appointed people who disturbed their domestic production environment. The strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting."

"Maybe in the future our military book will also have to be changed." The old British man smiled bitterly.

Zhang Zhong nodded: "I didn't expect the handsome guy to be so ruthless. I was afraid that His Highness was inexperienced."

Zhang Fu is a black line again, Zhang Zhong is a handsome guy, and now it is rumored in the army that he has a craving for Longyang, and he is getting more and more powerful.

Ma Qi leaned over and said, "Mr. England, Your Highness wants you to win the Cochin within a year, so you can be confident."

"If you don't have a spy there, it should be fine."

"you!"

Ma Qi waved his hand and snorted and left.

No one bothered Zhang Zhong and sighed: "His Royal Highness is really not good at fighting. Every time there is only one way of bombing indiscriminately, but diplomacy is great."

"According to the development situation of our domestic weapons and warships, in the future, as long as it can bombard indiscriminately, what is missing is His Highness's strategy for the country, you have to take a good look and learn."

……

Hong Kong Port, this busy port, all the ships gave way, the flying Henanren returned to the port, and the people cheered.

It has been less than half a year since Zhu Zhanchang, the king of Zhujiang County, opened the sea ban. Those who are in business have already felt the huge benefits and have a better vision for the future, so Zhu Zhanchang's momentum has gradually increased.

And Chen Youshan wrote a lot of slogans praising Zhu Zhanchang on Xiangjiang Island, which is to constantly elevate Zhu Zhanchang's status among the people.

He followed Zhu Zhanchang, and the higher Zhu Zhanchang's status, the higher his status.

Looking at the crowd of people at the port, Zhu Zhanchang smiled at Chen Youshan and said, "What are you doing so grandly?"

"All of them came to greet your Highness spontaneously."

The whole world was lively, only Cao Xinyue left a letter and silently got on the merchant ship to Ningbo Port.

She didn't want to disturb him any more.
