I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 314 Slaughtering the Mud Monkey with a Knife, Sacrifice the Nanyang Spirit!
The cool sea breeze was blowing head-on, and Zhu Zhangui sat in the command room of the Dingyuan ship, sniffing the cool salty wind, looking at the world map compiled by the navy, frowning and meditating with a pencil in his hand.

After sailing from Tianjin Port, the fleet carried out a simple replenishment in Quanzhou and stayed in Xiaoliuqiu for a few days. Instead of going directly west, they sailed south first.

The reason why he went south instead of rushing west immediately was because Zhu Zhangui wanted to go to the later generations of Australia first, build a naval base there, and then slowly immigrate there to annex that continent.

Australia in the later generations was a place rich in products. It is said that there are also very rich gold mines, and some people even dug out hundreds of catties of dog's head gold. With this place in Ming Dynasty, there was another holy place for blood transfusion.

The army has the Asan area and Beiju Luzhou in the north. The navy can't let them idle on patrol, and they have to find a job for them.

Zhu Zhangui's goal for the navy is to control all the continents in the southern region.

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Zhangui can't guarantee to control the entire world before he dies, but he wants to control Asia and the southern region in his hands.

In this way, even if he dies in the future, future generations can rely on this huge territory and heritage to slowly annex the entire world.

"Your Highness, you are looking for me!"

While Zhu Zhangui was staring at an area on the map and frowning, Qi Yuan, the commander of the Fifth Marine Corps, strode over.

The defense of Seoul made Zhu Zhangui notice this capable general who defended the city. After a brief investigation, he talked with him in person. Zhu Zhangui felt that Qi Yuan was a useful talent.

In addition, he has been at the seaside all year round and is very familiar with seaside operations, so when the Marine Corps was expanded, Zhu Zhangui added all the Japanese soldiers who were prepared by Qi Yuan to it, and reorganized it into the Fifth Corps of the Marine Corps. Qi Yuan is the head of this legion.

For this sea battle, Zhu Zhangui did not bring the first, second and third armies with mostly veterans, or the fourth army with half veterans and half recruits, but chose Qi Yuan's fifth army.

The reason why Qi Yuan was chosen was because according to Zhu Zhangui's investigation, this person is very good at defending the city and fighting. He has a calm and responsible personality and is extremely emotional. He is a very suitable general candidate.

In addition to the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, most of the family members are in Daming. With this part of the tie, it is very easy to control the battle outside.

This is not because Zhu Zhangui feels that the other four legions are difficult to control, but that he has other uses for the other four legions.

Beiju Luzhou is about to be developed, and the little pumpkins are still looking forward to planting potatoes there.

In order to prevent these little pumpkins from causing trouble in order to compete for this spot, there must be some arrangements.

Little pumpkin: Are you sure you cut the root, the one who was forced to go there with a knife was voluntary.

"sit!"

Zhu Zhangui patted the stool beside him with a smile, and Qi Yuan saluted respectfully before doing half of his ass.

Zhu Zhangui, who noticed this scene, nodded slightly.

This person is not only very strong in military art and strategy, but also a person who knows the rules and obeys the rules. As long as such a person is trained well in the future, he will definitely become an important general of the imperial court.

Even Zhu Zhangui was thinking in his heart that if this person did not make any major mistakes in the future, it would be a good choice to hand over all the Marine Corps to him.

Qi Yuan, who was sitting on the side, probably didn't know that at this moment, he had already been designated as the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps in the future.

"This is Cairo, the extreme edge of the northwest region of the Red Sea. It used to belong to a country called Egypt next to it, but this is not important anymore."

Zhu Zhangui pointed to the location of Cairo, and briefly introduced the surrounding history to Qi Yuan.

"You plan to let me take the brothers and take this place down."

Qi Yuan's eyes are very vicious, and he can see the importance of Cairo's position at a glance.

Zhu Zhangui nodded first, then shook his head.

Without waiting for Qi Yuan to ask, Zhu Zhangui said slowly: "It is necessary to control this place, and I also plan to let you bring your army to station here."

"But this is only one task, another important task."

Zhu Zhangui said, picked up the pencil next to him, and drew a line on the land above Cairo in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

"The pharaoh here built a canal here back then. Since both sides are deserted areas, and no one has repaired it for many years, it has become a shoal, and ships can no longer cross it."

"The task I gave you is to take this place with your army, and then capture slaves to dig and widen the canal so that our warships can sail freely in it."

Qi Yuan took the map, stared at the place drawn by Zhu Zhangui's pencil, and then scanned the surrounding area, his eyes became brighter the more he looked, obviously he understood Zhu Zhangui's thoughts.

"Your Highness, you are really wise. This is a good place. If we dig through here, our navy can penetrate directly into the enemy's hinterland. When the time comes, we can attack, retreat and defend, and the enemy will have nothing to do with us."

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand with a smile.

This is his brilliant opinion, he is just copying the Suez Canal from later generations.

"Since you have seen the importance of this place, you must also know that this place may be a place for the enemy to fight for."

"At that time, you will face enemy attacks from all directions. Do you have the confidence to defend this place and the open source of our Great Ming?"

Qi Yuan didn't make any promises, but stood up and faced Zhu Zhangui, knelt down on one knee, raised his hand and hammered his chest heavily.

This is a soldier's pledge, as well as an oath of allegiance.

Standing up to help Qi Yuan up, Zhu Zhangui patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder.

"Open the canal, and then guard it for another five years. After returning to Daming, I will personally issue the imperial edict to you."

Qi Yuan's body trembled, and he clasped his fists in his hands and responded loudly.

"I will die!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded in satisfaction, and waved him to go back and make plans first.

"I'm afraid 1 people won't be able to defend this place. Once those western barbarians realize the importance of this place, they will attack desperately to block the canal."

As soon as Qi Yuan left, the old man strolled over with a teapot.

Putting the teapot on the table casually, the old man took the map from Zhu Zhangui's hand and expressed his concerns.

"That's why I let him go. This man defended very well in Seoul. He is a useful talent. If he can open the canal and guard it for 5 years, I will hand over all the marines to him after returning to the court." , and give him the title of Marquis as agreed."

The old man nodded slightly, and then saw the circles Zhu Zhangui drew on the map, and asked curiously: "You plan to occupy these circled places."

Zhu Zhangui nodded, "In the future, we will have more and more steel warships. These warships do not rely on sails to power them, and require a large amount of coal and other supplies. The places I circled are our future naval supply bases. "

"As long as these places are occupied, and the construction is completed and put into use, the only shortcoming of the navy will be filled."

"Once we have no shortcomings and no worries about the future, after we have recuperated for more than ten years in the future, the expansion plan we have set can officially start."

"What about this place! Is this place going to be taken down?" The old man pointed to the place where Daying was.

After all, the places Zhu Zhangui planned in front are all small islands or small places, and this is the only big land.

"What is this place called Eagle Country? It's a big island country. This is the gateway to the western countries. My idea is to occupy this place and become the front base for annexing the entire West."

The old man nodded acquiescingly, and after thinking about it, he drew a few more islands on the map.

"Let's take down these places too. With these places, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend."

Zhu Zhangui stretched his head to look, and found that the place where the old man drew the circle was Newfoundland in North America, Dihai Island on the border with South America and North America, and Tierra del Fuego in the southernmost part of South America.

"The area is too large, and there may be pressure on the navy to control it."

Zhu Zhangui frowned and expressed his worries.

All of a sudden, important military bases are set up on various important islands in the whole world. With the current strength of the Ming Navy, it may be a bit difficult to control.

After all, this is not a later generation, and there is no such a powerful communication system. Once anything happens, it will be difficult for the court to find out immediately.

"If it's not difficult, then what's the point of war? The navy is living too comfortably. If you don't find something for them to do, I'm afraid they will waste their skills."

Throwing the pencil on the map, reaching for the teapot, the old man took a sip, said something casually, hummed a little song, turned around and went to the deck to see those old guys fishing.

At the end of October, the fleet arrived in Manila, Luzon.

Looking at the panic scene at the port in the distance, Zhu Zhangui smiled reminiscently.

This is the place where he sold goods for the first time, and it is also the place where he killed people for the first time.

At that time, he was just over 9 years old. When he was selling goods here, he met a group of aboriginal hooligans.

A street fight broke out, and in the end Zhu Zhangui won with only one casualty, while 15 people on the opposite side fell to the ground with their stomachs pierced and twitched.

Later, the incident got to the Luzon administrators, who learned that Zhu Zhangui and others were from Ming Dynasty and were with Zheng He's fleet.

He also received a cryptic reminder from Zheng He that the little guy in front of him had an unusual status. After he had a certain relationship with the Ming royal family, he chose to make peace with him, and turned this big thing into a small one.

After all, some local aborigines died. No matter what they say, the Luzon Chinese are connected with the Central Plains. As the saying goes, don’t look at the monk’s face and see the Buddha’s face, even if the responsibility lies with Zhu Zhangui, it’s because of the same blood. , will also help Zhu Zhangui.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Zhu Zhangui turned his head to look at Zheng He who was preparing to send envoys ashore.

"Old Zheng, I remember that when you came here, you appointed a man named Xu Chai the governor here. You said that after so many years, he is still alive."

Zheng He, who was arranging for people to get off the ship, waved his hand without looking back.

"I don't know. Anyway, the last time I went to sea, he was still alive and well. I heard that one of his concubines gave birth to a son for him that year."

On the pier of Manila Bay in Luzon, groups of soldiers wearing simple leather armor and holding very clear weapons came to the pier nervously under the command of an officer, and lined up to prepare for battle.

"Damn it, where did this enemy come from? How could there be so many ships, and the two ships in the middle seem to be made of steel."

A general wearing fish scale armor ran over cursing while tightening the belt buckle of the armor around his waist.

"Have you seen who the enemy is?"

As soon as he came to the soldier, he grabbed the lieutenant general.

"I can't see clearly, it's a little far away!"

The lieutenant set up a pergola and looked at the sea from a distance, but unfortunately it was cloudy today, and his eyesight was not very good, so he could only see the shape of the boat clearly.

As for the flag on the ship?He really couldn't see clearly.

"I can't see clearly, then why are you still here, why don't you send a boat to ask!"

Seeing that this idiot couldn't see clearly, and he was still watching with his feet up, the person in charge of the dock, who was wearing fish scale armor, kicked his ass angrily.

"Oh, yes, yes, this subordinate will send someone over to ask."

"My lord, a ship is coming!"

But before the adjutant took a few steps, he caught a glimpse of a small boat rapidly approaching the shore.

Seeing this, he was overjoyed, knowing that the other side had sent someone over first, he quickly turned around and loudly reminded the person in charge of the dock who was wearing fish scale armor.

The boat docked quickly, and under the vigilant and terrified eyes of the soldiers on the shore, an admiral went ashore with a serious expression.

"Are you in charge?"

The admiral looked directly at the person in charge of the pier in fish scale armor.

After he went ashore, he looked around, and saw that besides the civilians, there were hundreds of soldiers wearing leather armor, and the only one who was regarded as the leader was a man wearing fish scale armor, so he guessed that this person in front of him was from here head.

The person in charge of the pier, wearing fish scale armor, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the other party's Da Ming official words, and quickly replied in Da Ming official words: "Back to this general, the young one is the person in charge of this pier."

The admiral nodded slightly, and said in an orderly tone: "Go and inform your governor, the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness are here, hurry up and pick them up."

"(⊙o⊙) what?"

"The emperor and the prince."

In Luzon Governor's Mansion, Xu Chailao, the governor who received the news, bounced off his chair with a speed that didn't fit his body.

The lieutenant who was sent over nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what they said, and we can see clearly later that it's Daming's ship that is flying the flag of Daming."

"Mother, here comes the big shot!"

After being confirmed, the fat on Xu Chai's body trembled.

At the beginning of this year, he knew about the abdication of Emperor Yongle. After all, as a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, he sent envoys.

A few months ago, the envoy rushed back and talked about the grand occasion of the old emperor's abdication and the new emperor's ascension to the throne. He focused on the scene of the military parade of the million legions of the Ming Dynasty, and the spectacle of the airship appearing across the sky behind.

After listening to the envoy's narration, Xu Chai felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

If Song Dynasty had been so powerful back then, their ancestors would not have been exiled overseas.

At the same time, he also knew that when Zheng He came, the child who murdered was the current Crown Prince of Daming.

After knowing Zhu Zhangui's identity, Xu Chai Lao felt very lucky.

Fortunately, he was trying to flatter Daming, and turned this into a trivial matter. If he had dealt with it seriously at that time, and even sent someone directly to arrest Zhu Zhangui, Luzon would have been in ruins.

"What the hell are you still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and notify all the ministers to go to the pier to meet the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

There was a commotion in Luzon, all the big and small people in the country, who had some status, were all summoned to the pier to meet the old man and Zhu Zhangui.

At the same time, Xu Chai Lao also ordered that his subordinates not be allowed to call him the king anymore, but to call him the governor of the Ming Dynasty.

People are all ambitious. Although the king and governor have the same status for him, they are called differently and the psychological pleasure they bring is also different.

So in normal times, Luzon's subordinates call Xu Chai Lao the king.

But now there are people from Daming, and it is Zhu Di who made him the governor at the beginning, and he is also following the most powerful crown prince of Daming.

If Xu Chai still wants to keep his position, he must admit the identity that Daming gave him at this time, otherwise not only his position will not be kept, but his head may even have to be moved.

It is said that he is a king, but Xu Chai Lao is actually in this place of Luzon. His identity is not recognized by the local indigenous people at all. The only people who recognize his identity are businessmen who hug him for warmth, and those who come here to beg for life Chinese.

The status of governor given to him by Daming was, to put it bluntly, only on paper. He was not given a single soldier, nor did he give him full support.

Because of this, his status is now very embarrassing, and the territory he controls is only the shop plantation area controlled by the local Chinese.

Other places are still in the hands of the aborigines, who don't even care about his orders, and even often conflict with the local Chinese.

Xu Chai Lao also has great ambitions, thinking of controlling the countless islands around Luzon, and then take refuge with Daming with a huge territory, get a title, and then pass it on.

But he is powerless.

There are only a few Chinese, and there are no equipment and weapons in hand, so the so-called army is only a thousand people.

It's okay for these people to protect the local shops, but they may have chosen to conquer the indigenous people, and their strength is still slightly weaker than 01:30.

That's why he was so excited when he heard that Zhu Di and the prince were coming.

He is the governor of Daming, and he asked if it was reasonable for Daming to order armor and advanced weapons.

So this time it is said to be meeting Zhu Di and Zhu Zhangui, the crown prince, but it is actually more reliable to say that he is going to complain and ask for help.

"Xu Chailao, the governor of Lu Song, a humble minister, brought all the officials of Lu Song to meet the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

A mighty crowd came to the pier. When Daming's soldiers came down to control the surroundings, and the old man and Zhu Zhangui led the lieutenant generals down, Xu Chailao directly led everyone to kneel down and salute.

"Haha, Aiqing is free from courtesy!"

The local accent can be heard far overseas, and the old man is in a particularly good mood, especially the words of humble minister, which made his favor towards Xu Chai even more soar.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xu Chai Lao led the people to kowtow again, and then stood up with the support of the eldest son beside him.

"Emperor Taishang, you are really flattered that you can come here, and the whole Luzon also feels the emperor's grace, and it is full of glory!"

Knowing the rules, he handed over the sword to his son beside him, and Xu Chai walked forward with a humble face, flattering the old man.

"Hahaha... I heard that Three Treasures said about you, saying that you can speak very well, and it is true that Three Treasures are right."

The old man patted Xu Chailao on the shoulder affectionately, and then took his hand intimately. Guided by Xu Chailao's sons and ministers, he went to the Luzon Governor's Mansion.

Along the way, the old man chatted happily with Xu Chai, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Zhu Zhangui sat next to him and did not participate in the chat between the two. Instead, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the situation outside.

After observing for a while, Zhu Zhangui put down the curtain, looked back at Xu Chai and said with a smile: "Governor Xu, your management ability needs to be improved!"

Xu Chai, who was laughing and chatting with the old man, froze in an instant with his fat smiling face.

He knew in his heart that Zhu Zhangui probably saw the indifferent eyes of the aborigines outside just now.

"Ugh!"

Xu Chai Lao sighed before saying anything, and said with a worried look on his fat face: "His Royal Highness, to tell you the truth, life is really hard for me."

"Thanks to the Supreme Emperor Longen, I arranged a governor's position for the young minister to manage the military and political affairs of the entire Luzon. But the minister has neither soldiers nor armor, and the only people who obey the minister's management are our local Han people. If you say that the minister is in charge, if you don't make trouble, I will be grateful."

"I have thousands of soldiers in my hands now, and all of them are wearing leather armor bought from my hometown, and all the weapons are made by myself. With this little force, I will not hide it from you two, the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince. , it is not easy for me to hold onto the 01:30 point."

As he spoke, Xu Chai, the governor, reached out and wiped away his tears.

Seeing the fat man sobbing softly, Zhu Zhangui pursed his lips and looked at the old man. The old man didn't speak, but nodded lightly, acquiescing to Zhu Zhangui's thoughts.

"If the imperial court sends you 2 elite legions to help you suppress the local aborigines, what can you bring to the imperial court?"

Xu Chai, who was gasping in a low voice, suddenly raised his head to look at Zhu Zhangui who was speaking.

"thump!"

The carriage shook for a while, and Xu Chailao dragged his fat body and knelt in the carriage, reaching out to the sky.

"Here, I assure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that as long as we can control the entire islands surrounding Luzon, our Xu family will obey Ming's commands and orders for generations to come.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the fat man with a solemn expression, didn't say anything, just let him get up first, and then opened the curtain to look out the window.

Looking at the Supreme Emperor who has begun to close his eyes and meditate, and the prince Zhu Zhangui who is silently watching the scene outside the window.

Xu Chailao felt urgent in his heart, he didn't know whether his promise would impress the two people in front of him.

There is no doubt about the strength of Daming. Among other things, the endless battleships at the pier can make people feel deeply hopeless.

Especially those two steel warships exuding a cold light, Xu Chailao scratched his mind, and couldn't figure out how the iron floated on the water.

If Daming really supports him with all his strength, Xu Chai Lao can guarantee that within three years he will become the real king of the archipelago around Luzon.

"You have a bad relationship with the local aborigines, don't you?"

Just when Xu Chai Lao was in a hurry, Zhu Zhangui's voice sounded again.

"Well, it's more than bad, it's a life-and-death enmity. Those natives who are not suitable for childbirth have been envious and greedy for our wealth, and whenever they have the opportunity, they will rob and kill us."

"Even a few years ago, we Han people were often massacred by them. The men were killed completely, and the women, regardless of their age..."

Speaking of this, Xu Chai couldn't go on, just shook his head and sighed.

In fact, Xu Chai does not need to go on, Zhu Zhangui, who came from later generations, also knows how disgusting these monkeys are.

The Chinese in later generations were massacred several times. Although those white pigs were instigated, most of the riots were caused by these indigenous people.

Thinking of the blood and tears that later generations of Nanyang Chinese are unwilling to mention, Zhu Zhangui's eyes flashed coldly.

"Where is the nearest native tribe to you?"

Xu Chai Lao was stunned for a moment, then raised his fat finger and pointed in one direction.

"Thirty miles from here, there is an indigenous tribe with tens of thousands of people, and it is also close to the sea."

Xu Chai Lao not only told the distance from the death of the indigenous tribe, but also reported the number of the other party, and even reminded Zhu Zhangui friendly at the end that the other party relies on the sea.

Zhu Zhangui nodded, and under the expectant eyes of Xu Chailao, he took out the walkie-talkie and gave an order: "Thirty miles to the south by the sea, there is an indigenous tribe of ten thousand people, kill them all, and bring their heads to the pier tomorrow! "

"Received, Dingyuan has set sail, leading three attack warships and 2000 marines to carry out the order!"

Xu Chai's eyes were round, he was not surprised by Zhu Zhangui's cold slaughter order, but curious about how this little black box could make a sound.

It's a pity that Zhu Zhangui didn't intend to explain it to him, but just silently retracted the walkie-talkie, opened the curtain and continued to look at the scenery outside.

The two bosses stopped talking, and Mr. Xu Chai didn't dare to say anything. He just squatted in a corner silently, swaying back and forth following the carriage.

His small eyes circled back and forth, sneaking a glance at the old man who was resting with his eyes slightly closed.

But just seeing the face, he trembled and didn't dare to stay, and looked at Zhu Zhangui who was looking out the window.

Staring at Zhu Zhangui's calm face, Xu Chailao felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

As expected of the tyrannical and invincible Daming, killing tens of thousands of people is like crushing an ant, without any emotional changes at all.

Xu Chai felt relieved when he thought that those aborigines who often attacked and persecuted them would suffer tonight.

He clenched his fat hands together tightly, thinking that those disgusting mud monkeys would be killed tonight, he couldn't help roaring in his heart.

"Kill it, kill it, brothers from the land of the Han family, please avenge the blood and hatred of those Han family members who suffered, kill all these dirty, low, greedy mud monkeys, and pay homage to the souls of the compatriots who died in their hands in heaven !"
