Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 193 Dongsheng Shenzhou
After completing the pirate adaptation of Zhao'an, Zhang Zongxian reorganized the navy.

The Naval Command was established in Lushun, which has three fleets under its jurisdiction, namely the Dengzhou Fleet, the Jeju Island Fleet and the Ocean Fleet.

The Dengzhou Fleet is responsible for patrolling the coastal defenses of Liaodong and Shandong, and the Jeju Island Fleet is responsible for patrolling the coastal defenses of North Korea.

The ocean-going fleet is responsible for exploring routes to North America. They will start from Jeju Island and follow the coastline of the Wa Kingdom to Ezo Island (Hokkaido), and then go north from the Chiba Islands in the northeast of Ezo to find the former Kamchatka Peninsula.
Then, according to the map given by Zhang Zongxian, go north from the Kamchatka Peninsula to find the Aleutian Islands, then follow the Aleutian Islands to find North America, and then go south along the coastline of North America until you find the Vancouver area marked by Zhang Zongxian on the map.

Set up a settlement there before returning to Daming.

Except for some sailors in the ocean-going fleet, the rest are elite soldiers selected from the disciples of the school, and they shoulder the important mission of expanding the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Before departure, Zhang Zongxian specially met these disciples and told them about the richness of Dongsheng Shenzhou. It was Zhang Zongxian who called North America Dongsheng Shenzhou.

There was a boundless plain in the past, and countless bison ran on the plain. The survivors of the Shang Dynasty lived on Dongsheng Shenzhou, and now they are facing the massacre of ghosts.

There is a place chosen by heaven, whichever nation occupies it, that nation can completely get rid of hunger,
After repeatedly emphasizing the importance of this trip, Zhang Zongxian watched them leave the port.

In order to explore the route as soon as possible, Zhang Zongxian sent a total of three fleets to explore the route in the fourth year of Tianqi. One of them successfully arrived at Dongsheng Shenzhou and established a settlement. One of them encountered a storm and stayed on the Kamchatka Peninsula. .

The other one disappeared without a trace, perhaps due to yaw, or perhaps due to a storm.

After arranging the affairs of the navy, Zhang Zongxian stayed in North Korea throughout the fourth year of the Apocalypse, guiding his disciples to suppress the resistance of the two classes of nobles and complete the assimilation of North Korea.

At the same time, Wei Zhongxian's power also reached its peak, and the internal and external power belonged to Wei Zhongxian. In addition to Wang Tiqian and others, there were more than [-] eunuchs including Li Chaoqing, Wang Chaofu, Sun Jin, Wang Guotai, Liang Dong, etc., who were left and right supporters. .

The civil servants of the foreign court were Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, Wu Chunfu, Li Kuilong, and Ni Wenhuan, who were the masters of the "Five Tigers".

There are also Zhou Yingqiu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Cao Qincheng, Shaoqing of Taipusi, who are called "ten dogs".There are also titles such as "Ten Children" and "Forty Grandchildren".

Of course, the biggest eunuch is Zhang Zongxian, the governor of Jiliao who holds a heavy army.

Zhang Zongxian has been using Wei Zhongxian's name for the past few years to install cronies in the Nine Sides, and appointed Du Wang and his sworn brothers as the general soldiers of Shanhaiguan and the general soldiers of Jizhen respectively.

Zhang Zongxian also used the excuse of Ping Liao to constantly mobilize soldiers and horses from Jizhen into Liaodong. After dismantling the old and weak soldiers and horses, they were incorporated. Zhang Zongxian took half of the [-] soldiers and horses that belonged to Jizhen to Liaodong.

So far, apart from the 20 soldiers and horses in Piantouguan Town, the [-] Beijing Camp and the remaining [-] soldiers and horses in Ji Town, all the soldiers and horses in the other nine border towns are under the control of the Legislative Army.

The Legislative Army has thus been filled to 60, including 40 cavalry and 20 infantry. These soldiers and horses are distributed on the vast front from Hami to Busan. In addition to the annexed North Korea, the population directly controlled by the Legislative School has also exceeded [-]. Ten thousand.

At this time, the railway to Hami is about to open to traffic, the railway outside the side wall has also been repaired from Shuofang City to Zhangjiakou, the railway from Xi'an to Kaifeng has also been repaired to Henan, and the main line of the original horse-drawn railway in Shaanxi has also been replaced by steam. railway.

The railways from Jinzhou to Shenyang, Shenyang to Shanhaiguan, and Shenyang to Zhangjiakou were also quickly built with the blessing of a large number of prisoners. In another one or two years, Zhang Zongxian could build the main artery from east to west.

With the help of Wei Zhongxian's influence, the Taiping Bank opened its semi-colon to South Zhili, and the folks were flooded with bills issued by Taiping, and the people of Ming Dynasty had gradually adapted to using bills for transactions.

Taiping's silver deposits exceeded 2000 million taels, and the bills issued exceeded 90.00 million taels of silver, and [-]% of the bills were in denominations of less than ten taels.

Such a violent expansion of the Taiping also attracted Wei Zhongxian's attention, or it was instigated by people around him, or maybe it was a greedy nature.

Wei Zhongxian put forward the idea of ​​wanting to take a stake in Taiping, and for this matter, he sent his godson to Liaodong to discuss with Zhang Zongxian.

Zhang Zongxian was naturally unwilling to hand over the Taiping, this was the foundation of his fortune, handing it over to them would only destroy the Taiping, and it was hard to establish credit.

The rebellion of the [-] million taels of bills was not only unbearable for Taiping, but also for Daming. Such a severe financial shock might cause the peasant uprising that was originally suppressed by Zhang Zongxian to break out again.

But since so many things have been done with Wei Zhongxian's influence, and it's not time to fall out, Zhang Zongxian wants to delay for a year or two.

In order to temporarily dispel Wei Zhongxian's greed, Zhang Zongxian excused that he was running out of time and could live for at most two years, and the day of sealing the snow demon was his death day.

For this reason, he specially performed a trick of vomiting blood from overwork in front of Wei Zhongxian's godson, the cheap brother in front of Zhang Zongxian.

He vomited blood while pretending to explain the funeral. In the future, when he leaves, his family will still need to be taken care of by his uncle, and let his cheap brother also help take care of him.

As for those properties, Zhang Zongxian felt that his son would not be able to keep them, and would hand them over to his uncle to take care of them, and hand them over to his son when his son grew up.

Now is the critical period of Ping-Liao, and Tai Ping still needs to run food and pay to Liao Dong, so it is not easy to change, I hope his uncle can understand.

Relying on this acting skill to take the time to fool this matter, Zhang Zongxian also understands that when Liaodong is pacified, even if he does not die, Tian Qi and Wei Zhongxian will not let him go.

Firstly, he knew too much, and secondly, Wei Zhongxian must have noticed something, after all, there are many disciples of Zhang Zongxian in the important towns on the Nine Sides.This makes Tianqi very insecure.

Wei Zhongxian doesn't want to force Zhang Zongxian too much now, he knows that Zhang Zongxian is a master who will not suffer, and Wei Zhongxian at this time is just as Zhang Zongxian expected.

They started to prepare to deal with Zhang Zongxian, and secretly prepared a killer. When Zhang Zongxian did not die, he would be coaxed to the capital to kill him. Anyway, he could not continue to hold military power.
