Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 641 The east wind blows
What you plan for is up to you, and God is up to you. There are too many things in this world, and you can't get the results you want just by working hard.

The situation in North Korea, because of what Li Zhu and others have been plotting, has forced Sun Chengzong to make adjustments to many of his plans. If he is not careful, something may happen that threatens the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people find it inconceivable that Li Jie has tampered with others. Many people have never thought that Li Jie would dare to do such a treasonous thing.

North Korea imitates the Ming Dynasty. This is by no means an empty cliche. From the national system, to the military, to culture, to the economy and other aspects, it is very similar to the Ming Dynasty. This also makes North Korea known as Little China.

At the same time, because the territory under North Korea's jurisdiction is narrow and long, surrounded by sea on three sides, this also causes North Korea to behave more conservatively than the Ming Dynasty in some aspects.

The etiquette of respect and inferiority is best reflected!
It was precisely this that made Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in the capital, know what Li Zhu and the others were doing, but he did not tell Sun Chengzong and the others.

It's not that Zhu Youxiao didn't want to tell it, but the fact is that even if he told it, Sun Chengzong and the others would never believe it, and they would even think that the emperor had other ideas.

The period that the Ming Dynasty lived in cannot be viewed in terms of the cognition of later generations.

And just when something happened on the North Korean side, the strategic point on the sea thousands of miles away, Dongfan, which was inconspicuous in the Ming Dynasty, also quietly changed.

Dongfan, Bengang.

The sky is so blue, with dense white clouds, and birds fly by from time to time.

Wow~
The turbulent waves hit the coast, the waves appear and disappear, and the slightly cool sea breeze blows, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Mr. Factory, isn't it a bit too much for people from all over Nanyang to come to my east to register and register, and even to actually confer power on me as officials in the imperial court?"

Cao Huachun faced the blowing sea breeze and said to Wei Zhongxian who was walking with him: "There are even many forces that are obviously not that big, but the officials they are awarded are inflated. Should this be strictly controlled? If this matter is submitted I'm afraid the emperor will be dissatisfied when entering the capital, after all..."

"Does Eunuch Cao want to say that our family will sell their official positions in Dongfan?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled, stopped and looked at Cao Huachun who was about to speak but hesitated.

Cao Huachun didn't speak, but his attitude was clear through his expression.

"Our family doesn't want this, but they give us too much."

The corners of Wei Zhongxian's mouth turned up slightly, and he stared at Cao Huachun and said, "What are these forces who come to Dongfan to register and register? Don't we know what they are like?"

"If you don't want to talk about anything else, let's just talk about the man named Zheng Zhilong. He looks like he has just reached the top of his class. When he first came to Dongfang, he told me that he had a large fleet in Manila. Do you think our family would believe it?"

Cao Huachun frowned slightly. He was also very impressed with Zheng Zhilong. When he came to Dongfan to register, he brought several sea-going ships with him, but he said that there was a team of dozens of sea-going ships in Manila. This caused a lot of confusion. People laughed at him, and even the official in charge of registration did not believe what Zheng Zhilong said.

It's also a coincidence.

Wei Zhongxian, who was in a good mood that day, came to inspect the place responsible for registration, and happened to bump into this scene. Wei Zhongxian, who knew about this, not only did not punish Zheng Zhilong, but also awarded Zheng Zhilong a false title of general, which was unacceptable. Everyone was shocked!
A person who may have just reached the crown is awarded a false title to a general, even if it is just a false title, but here in Nanyang, the value of the Ming Dynasty is still very high.

At least it is higher than the maritime power of the European countries across the ocean!

This is the foundation laid by China a long time ago.

This was the foundation laid by Zheng He of the Yongle Dynasty when he embarked on his voyages to the West!

"In this sea, some things must not be taken seriously."

Wei Zhongxian said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Who is really a kind person who can make a living on the sea? He is so kind and soft-hearted that he has been thrown to the fishes long ago."

"Our family gave Zheng Zhilong the fictitious title of General, but he gave us several real sea-going ships, one of which even cost 800 yuan."

"And the most important point is that our family's reputation has spread. We are easy to fool and greedy for money. This reputation is good. Without this reputation, would those cats and dogs come to Dongfan? Would they take the initiative to send us sea ships? "

This……

At this moment, Cao Huachun's eyes widened and he looked at Wei Zhongxian in disbelief. In fact, many people were puzzled by many things Wei Zhongxian did before this. But after listening to what Wei Zhongxian said, Cao Huachun's inner thoughts changed. Looking back carefully, he realized that the navy stationed in various places in Dongfan was really quite large.

Especially here in Bengang, there are already more than 8000 large and small ships, and the size of Bengang Navy has exceeded officers and soldiers. This is real, and Yu Zigao personally leads it! !

Not counting the ships that Wei Zhongxian specially rowed to and from Bengang, Penghu, and Fujian, there were more than a hundred ships!

"This man, you have to know what you want. Don't act both as a person and as a bitch. This is like setting up an archway in front of a bitch's door." Wei Zhongxian lifted his robe sleeves and said.

"Our family can't do this kind of thing. Don't forget, although we have planned to build a number of shipyards in the places we selected in Fujian, Denglai, Tianjin and other places have selected a number of managers, and there are also many places along the coast in Fujian and other places. Recruit a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen, but this ship cannot be built that fast. "

"We who have traveled across the ocean to come to Dongfan under orders, what are we here to do? We are to protect the Ming Dynasty's maritime borders, to solve problems for the emperor, and to try to pass through Dongfan to search for things that are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty from various places in Southeast Asia. ”

"But don't forget that the maritime powers of Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other European countries in the Southeast Asia have laid a lot of foundations. Eunuch Cao thinks that our battle is starting in Dongfan, and they won't know. ?"

Cao Huachun frowned and said nothing.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this, it's precisely because he has thought about it that he wants to remind Wei Zhongxian not to be so lenient with some forces. What if they are sent by the above forces?
Don't forget, since Tianjin opened its sea trade, many merchants from European countries have gone northward. Cao Huachun doesn't think these Western barbarians don't know how prosperous the Ming Dynasty is.

"Do you know what Yu Zigao said when he saw our family a few days ago?" Seeing that Cao Huachun was silent, Wei Zhongxian walked forward and said something meaningful to Cao Huachun.

"What?"

Cao Huachun followed and looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise.

"Yu Zigao said that the navy at Chicken Cage, Tamsui, Bali, Lukang, and Dagou have all been trained, and the navy at Penghu has also been trained."

Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Perhaps the navy in the above places is not large, and there are even many ships that cannot withstand a few naval battles, but at least he can have a sound sleep. This is not our family. I thought so.”

When talking about this, Wei Zhongxian sighed softly.

"Mr. Factory, our family failed to understand your thoughts." After hearing this, Cao Huachun pondered for a moment, bowed his head slightly and said to Wei Zhongxian.

"Indeed, for us at the moment, it is false to think about anything else. Only increasing the size of the navy is true. Only in this way can we deter the maritime forces, so that Penghu, Bengang, Jilong, Tamsui and other places can take over the city as soon as possible. Build it up.”

"Yes."

Wei Zhongxian said with emotion: "Only when the cities in these places are built, then the people who migrated from Fujian and other places can really take root in Dongfan. In Dongfan, there are not only threats from the sea, but also threats from the land. There are also threats. Those who are hiding in the deep mountains and forests. If we cannot civilize them all, it is unrealistic to control the entire territory of Dongfan. "

"But then again, if we can't control the entire territory of Dongfan, who knows if someone will land in places that we can't take care of?"

Wei Zhongxian sent Li Yongzhen and others to garrison in Jilong, Tamsui and other places. He also sent Wu Xiang, Zu Dale and Zu Kuan to lead troops and station in various places. He even asked Li Zhiqi to go to various places in Nanyang to spread the news that he had planted a flag in Dongfan. According to the news, as long as anyone is willing to register, he will be awarded the corresponding official position. Of course, the prerequisite is to hand over a batch of sea ships. Wei Zhongxian has always wanted to control the entire territory of Dongfan as soon as possible.

Only when the entire territory of Dongfan is controlled, the naval force in Dongfan can leave Dongfan for infiltration, and Wei Zhongxian has also chosen this place.

One is Ryukyu, a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, which is currently occupied by a force from the East Japan.

One is Luzon, which is closest to Dongfan. Most of the area is currently controlled by Spain.

If the above two important maritime locations can be controlled, then the sea trade channel to the East Japan can be controlled. The key is to make the Ming Dynasty stand up! !

"Manufacturer!! Something big happened!!"

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind Wei Zhongxian and Cao Huachun, which made them immediately turn around and send Yidong Changchang Fan in a hurry, running towards Wei Zhongxian and the others, "Vice President Yu is in a hurry. Report that the Dutch maritime forces in Nanyang are going to invade our east coast!"

This damn redhead! !

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian clenched his hanging hands tightly, and couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart. This is what Wei Zhongxian has been worried about, but it happened anyway. Wei Zhongxian is not afraid of thieves, but is afraid of thieves. Now he is worried about Dong. The thief appears! !
