People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 290 Xia Yuanji and Liang Guogong’s contributions are great, but no matter how great their contributions are, they are not as great as those of Qian Guogong.

In fact, the happiest person here is Chen Han.

Although when Chen Han formed the navy, he was also thinking that the navy's combat effectiveness must be very powerful.

It is definitely not comparable to ordinary pirates.

But Chen Zuyi's group of pirates is different from other pirates.

He has been operating in Southeast Asia for so many years and has defeated all the naval forces of many countries.

Even if some countries unite together and send out tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress them, they will still be safe and sound.

It can be seen from this that Chen Zuyi has sufficient numbers in addition to his pirate army.

What's more, Chen Zuyi has sufficient command ability when commanding pirates to fight.

Although this Chen Zuyi may have been just an ordinary citizen when he was in Chaozhou, Guangdong.

He committed a crime and fled to Nanyang, but after so many years of hard work.

And in more than twenty years of confrontation with other countries and other pirates, the command skills he has developed are unmatched.

Therefore, Chen Han did not dare to expect that the newly emerged Ming Navy would become famous in one battle;

He would be able to deal with Chen Zuyi's invincible pirate army.

If they can fight against Chen Zuyi's pirate army, it will be enough to prove that the newly formed Ming Navy has strong enough capabilities to ensure the safety of most merchant ships on the sea.

After a few years of gradual training, perhaps the Ming Navy will be invincible.

But he never expected that under the leadership of Lan Yu, in just half an hour, Chen Zuyi's pirate gang, which had been rampant on the sea for more than twenty years, would be able to kill every last piece of it.

Although in the battle report, Xia Yuanji and the others may have exaggerated slightly.

It was said that Chen Zuyi's pirate army was directly killed, leaving no trace behind.

Moreover, Chen Zuyi's pirate army had no ability to resist at all.

This may be a bit exaggerated, but it really made Chen Han feel a heavy stone fall in his heart.

The moment they received the order from Lan Yu, they were going to the Guangdong Chief Suppression Division to destroy the pirates.

In fact, Chen Han was a little nervous.

It's not that he has no confidence in the navy he built.

It’s about having great expectations and being afraid of being disappointed.

It is precisely because of such contradictory emotions that it has been floating around.

That's why he has been in a state of constant fear for the past half month.

And now I finally got what I wanted.

Lan Yu is worthy of being a famous general.

Able to train the navy in a short period of time.

At the same time, he really confirmed what he said.

If you can fight a war well on land, you can do it on the sea as well.

Those who are accustomed to fighting on land cannot fight on the sea. It can only be said that their command ability itself is flawed.

Although Lan Yu is proud and domineering, he is not liked by many people.

But his commanding ability is undoubtedly strong.

Now through the naval battle, his prestige has been enhanced.

After the officials heard the reward for Lan Jade, they began to flatter him in various ways.

An official stood up and said: "Your Highness, although Lan Yu had some flaws in the court and among the people before,

Most people said that he was lawless, installed cronies in the army, and adopted numerous adopted sons and daughters.

Moreover, these adopted sons and daughters were placed in extremely important positions.

He was also punished by His Majesty for this.

But it has to be said that Lan Yu is a talented general. It is gratifying to be able to accomplish such a remarkable feat not long after taking command of the navy.

Not only did he rectify his own name, he also made immortal contributions to the court.

I have heard that this Chen Zuyi can be regarded as a hero in the Nanyang area, even in the Japanese slaves and our Ming Dynasty sea area.

He robbed countless passing ships, burned, killed, looted, and captured cities and territories in Southeast Asian countries.

Now it has fallen into the hands of our Ming Navy, and it is still a newly established navy.

Not only did the navy become famous in one battle, but it also enhanced the prestige of our Ming Dynasty today.

This is a gratifying thing. Liang Guogong has changed from a cool Liang to a big beam. We are all convinced! "

Another official from below stood up and said: "Your Highness, although the navy has made great contributions, Xia Yuanji, the Chief Secretary of Guangdong Province, also made indispensable contributions.

In the past, the court officials only knew that Mr. Xia was a talented person who could help the world and bring peace to the country, but this time they discovered that he was also a general who could command the navy to resist pirates. He was both civil and military!

What our country lacks is such talents.

Now that he has been awarded the title of earl for his martial arts achievements, we are very convinced and believe that the Chief Secretary of Guangdong will surely reach a higher level under the leadership of Mr. Xia.

Wei Chen felt that the Guangdong Navy also needed special rewards.

Their victory this time is really hard-won. If they don't reward it, we can't stand it. "

The courtiers all laughed, and what they said was reasonable.

Prince Zhu Biao looked at it with great joy.

As the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, he supported Chen Han in establishing the navy and supported Chen Han in recommending Lan Yu, so he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Especially when I looked at Chen Han, I felt even more grateful.

To be honest, Prince Zhu Biao was worried about whether Lan Yu could be qualified for the position of navy commander.

He has a deeper understanding of Lan Yu than Chen Han. Lan Yu is a person who gets into trouble after making great achievements.

Never obey anyone.

Let him serve as the commander-in-chief of the navy. Lan Yu's temper and character really made Prince Zhu Biao a little worried.

Although Lan Yu is his uncle, although Lan Yu has fought many victorious battles.

But to put it bluntly, Zhu Biao would rather keep Lan Yu out of business at home, as long as he doesn't cause trouble.

But Chen Han was able to overcome all opinions and recommend Lan Yu.

This was beyond his expectation at the time.

Sure enough, another minister below stood up directly and said, "Everyone, colleagues, whether you are talking about the meritorious service of Liang Guogong Lan Yu or the meritorious service of Guangdong Chief Minister Xia Yuan Jixia,

In fact, I think that even though they work hard and achieve great results, they are indeed both civil and military.

But there is one person that we must remember emphatically.

Because without this person, Master Xia and Duke Liang would not have been able to achieve such immortal achievements. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Han, who was at the head of the generals.

Even the generals looked at Chen Han with admiration.

Why?

Because Xia Yuanji and Lan Yu were both recommended by Chen Han.

The official immediately said, "Everyone should understand that the reason why Sir Xia was appointed as the chief envoy to Guangdong was who recommended him?

It was recommended by our Qianguo Gong.

At first, I hoped that Mr. Xia could reclaim the wild land in Lingnan into fertile farmland.

I hope that the spirit of reform can spread to the wild Lingnan,

I hope that the people and mountain people there can feel the care of our Ming Dynasty.

In less than three months after Mr. Xia left, more than 4,000 acres of fertile land were cultivated.

Taking advantage of the warm spring breeze, rice seeds are planted. By then, four thousand acres of fertile land will bring new livelihoods to Guangdong.

At that time, the people will see what the cultivated farmland means to them.

Let’s not talk about these for now, let’s just talk about the pirates’ sudden attack on the Guangdong Shipping Department.

Mr. Xia led the Guangdong Navy and the navy reinforced by Fujian, with only more than 10,000 people, they dared to deal with the pirates.

Although there are sacrifices, although our troops are weak and our tactics are not good,

But Mr. Xia has never been on the battlefield, but he dared to go straight into the enemy camp alone. He is really a role model for us!

Another official of the Qian Kingdom, against all opinions, recommended Liang Guogong, whom all of us were not optimistic about, to be the governor of the navy.

It was precisely because of Duke Qian's recommendation that Duke Liang was able to change his past, give up his bad habits, and since then carefully train the navy.

In just three months, the Navy can become a powerful force.

To be honest, it was not only Liang Guogong's training, but also the assembly of the most powerful red cannons and Suifa guns.

Judging from the good news from Mr. Xia, the chief envoy of Guangdong.

The red cannon and Suifa gun should take 70% of the credit.

Do you think so or not? "

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted unanimous affirmation from the courtiers.

Because this is the real understanding person.

Before, everyone had objections to letting Lan Yu be the commander of the navy.

Because everyone knows how Lan Yu behaves on weekdays.

The reason why he was imprisoned in the capital for two years and could not be reused was because these two years could be said to be mediocre and did nothing at all.

Even Mu Ying, who was in Yunnan, was entrusted with the important task of serving as the governor of the Japanese war. He also went straight to Huanglong and transported a large amount of gold and silver from the Japanese slaves back to the Ming Dynasty.

Just this one contribution can make him famous in history.

Originally, everyone thought that this position might belong to Lan Yu no matter what.

Because although everyone can't stand Lan Yu's style, they have to admire Lan Yu's commanding ability.

But he was not allowed to go, but Mu Ying, who was far away in Yunnan, was allowed to go.

At that time, everyone believed that Lan Yu had lost the emperor's support.

He has no chance to hold any important position again.

What he didn't expect was that at this time, Chen Han would actually let Lan Yu serve as such an important naval governor.

You know, Ming Dynasty has just opened the sea ban.

How many countries outside are looking at the strength of the Ming Navy.

Because Chen Zuyi was so tyrannical in Nanyang, many countries stayed away.

Everyone is waiting for the Ming Navy to take action.

This candidate is very important, and this battle is also very important. We must show our prestige and cannot lose.

Other wars can be won or lost, as military strategists say: Victory or defeat is a common occurrence for military strategists.

But there must be no failure in this matter.

Because this is related to the national character of Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the importance of his lost points that this candidate is even more important.

Everyone originally thought that the imperial court would definitely appoint a very mature and prudent person to serve as the naval governor.

But Chen Han boldly used Sapphire, which was unbelievable at the time.

Everyone thought that Chen Han had lost his mind, but they didn't expect that Lan Yu would save Chen Han a lot of face in today's battle.

So everyone said, "It is true. Although Xia Yuanji and Liang Guogong have made great contributions, no matter how great their contributions are, they are not as great as those of Qian Guogong!"
