I am the carpenter king

Thirty miles away from Seoul, in the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Xieyuan was listening to the report of his visit to the horse, with a bit of fatigue after the hasty march on his face.As a civil servant, although Zhu Xieyuan has military talents, his body is not like that of a general.

"Marshal, Seoul is now besieged by 2 people who built slaves. If we hadn't come early, I'm afraid Seoul would have been lost. According to the report from Jin Yiwei's spies, King Li Zong of North Korea has left Seoul, and the inside of Seoul is North Korea. Da Sixian is guarding the city. The number of defenders is not large, only 1. If it is not for the common people to help defend the city, they will not be able to withstand it for ten days." The soldiers used the simplest words and asked themselves as quickly as possible The information received is clear.

He nodded slowly. After ten days of rapid marching, the Ming army was already very tired. Although the 2 people had horses, after all, their bodies were not made of iron.Glancing at the location of Seoul, Zhu Xieyuan said to the flag board on one side: "I pass on the commander's order to strictly guard the camp tonight and triple the number of secret whistle!"

"Yes, Commander!" The flag officer on the side saluted respectfully, turned around and walked out.

Sitting on the chair, Zhu Xieyuan thought quietly, what should he do next?If Zhu Xieyuan and Jiannu were to go all out, he would really be reluctant.I have only 2 people, and Jiannu is also 2. If I really want to wipe them out, I am afraid that I will hurt [-] of the enemy and [-] of myself.

I urgently need a victory now, firstly to establish my own prestige in Liaodong, and secondly to be able to shut up other people's mouths.After all, with his own qualifications, Governor Liaodong is still somewhat unqualified.However, in Zhu Xieyuan's view, driving Jiannu away is the best approach, but considering himself, he can't help but fall into a dilemma.

Azig and Duoduo sat on the horse, their faces were not very good-looking, and no one thought that the Ming army would come so quickly.I saw the Ming army camping there as if no one else was there.Doduo gritted his teeth with hatred.

But there was nothing they could do. After the Ming army arrived here, they immediately set up their artillery positions.Under the cover of artillery, Tudor would never let the Eight Banners disciples attack, that would be courting death.

"Brother, we should go back! The Great Khan has sent Azig to pick us up. Although we failed to capture Seoul this time, we robbed a lot of things. We will do this kind of thing in the future, after all, Daming wants to help , It’s also beyond reach.” Duoduo looked at Azig and said in a deep voice.

Azig on the side didn't speak, his face was very solemn, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.Since when did the [-] Banners dare not attack the [-] Ming army, this is definitely not a good thing.If it is said that the children of the Eight Banners cannot capture the city of the Ming army.This can also be evaded.But in a field battle, even if the number of people is equal, the Eight Banners can't win!

Thinking of this, Azig suddenly felt chills running down his back. Once Da Ming attacks, how can we resist?

"Brother?" Seeing that Azig's expression was wrong, Doduo gently pushed him and asked with some doubts.

ah!Azig snapped back to his senses.The expression on his face did not improve, and he sighed.Said: "Go and make arrangements! Let's leave here as soon as possible. The eldest brother will bring 1 horses to pick us up. We must join him as soon as possible." Although he really wanted to rush over to fight the Ming army, Azig knew he couldn't In this way, if he loses the [-] Banners, Dajin will really have no hope.

Zhu Xieyuan was still debating whether to fight Jiannu.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he received a report from the secret whistle, and Jiannu ran away!This made Zhu Xieyuan heave a sigh of relief, Jiannu ran away by himself, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.Anyway, at the speed of the Ming army, they wanted to catch up with Jiannu.That is an idiot's dream.

After patting the horse and following, Zhu Xieyuan continued to rest. As for the pursuit, let's talk about it at dawn!It's almost enough to be able to send Jiannu away.However, Zhu Xieyuan once again remembered his memorial to the Emperor Tianqi, that slavery is always a disaster, and it is better to evaluate it as soon as possible.Zhu Xieyuan didn't understand Emperor Tianqi's thoughts. In his opinion, Daming already had the strength to exterminate Jiannu.

What Emperor Tianqi was thinking about was not Jiannu. At this time, Jiannu was already a meat in his mouth, and Emperor Tianqi felt that he could eat it at any time.Now we have to consider the Taiwan Strait, because there is going to be a war there soon.

"Your Majesty, this is the final agreement reached between the Spaniards and Ming Dynasty. Please preview it." Sun Chengzong stood below respectfully, holding a memorial in both hands, which he had just received.

After receiving the memorial brought by Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi read it slowly, and finally gently put it aside.Looking at Sun Chengzong with a smile, he said: "In this case, then follow the instructions above! I will order Yu Zigao and Qi Jin to lead the navy to Quanzhou. This time I will calm down the Taiwan Strait in one fell swoop, whether it is The Dutch are still pirates, and we must not let them go. As for the Spaniards, we will deal with them later."

Sun Chengzong nodded, he is now very much looking forward to Daming Kaihai, this is a very profitable business.However, Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, and said with a little worry: "Your Majesty, the naval fleet is certainly very powerful, but after all, it has not been long since it formed an army and has not participated in any battles. Will there be any mistakes?"

Sun Chengzong is not familiar with naval warfare, and this is not his field of expertise.However, as a military strategist, he still has the vision he should have, and quickly expressed his worries.

"Don't worry, Ai Qing. The sea battle is actually very simple. The only thing you can rely on is strong ships and sharp guns. As for any other battle strategy, it will be greatly weakened. It is not the first time that Qi Jin and Yu Zigao have led the battle. There will be no problems. Besides, the navy I want is not just for decoration, but an army capable of fighting!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, although he was also a little worried, but at this time he had to act indifferent , behaved very confidently.

"Your Majesty, since the Spaniards have to fight this time, and they are begging us, we can take advantage of it. Do you want to let Qi Jin and the others not have to put in all their strength, hide their strength appropriately, and let the three of them fight each other? It’s good to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.” Sun Chengzong lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking out his suggestion.

Looking at Sun Chengzong with a smile, this old minister did not disappoint himself!Emperor Tianqi said softly: "I won't write it in the imperial decree, but I can mention it in the documents of the Military Aircraft Department! This matter should be done quickly, let the Spaniards leave as soon as possible, the weather will turn cold soon, let them go back to prepare one time."

This matter is definitely the top priority, Emperor Tianqi decided to devote the energy of the whole next year to it.As for the extermination of Jiannu, it was not in Emperor Tianqi's plan at all.After all, the reform of the military system has just been completed, and it will take some time to integrate.

After talking about the Spaniards, Sun Chengzong felt that it was time to talk about the Portuguese!Glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong said to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, is it too much to support the Portuguese? Give them all the warships from the previous three years. I am afraid that I will suffer from the legacy of raising tigers!"

Smiling and waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi didn't have any worries in his heart, and said: "Ai Qing is too worried, Portugal is very weak at this time, their country is occupied by the Spaniards, and the Spaniards are their deadly enemies. The reason why I To help the Portuguese is to find an opponent for the Spaniard. After all, after this Taiwan Strait war, there are only Daming and the Spaniard here. Conflict is inevitable, and the Portuguese will play a role at this time!"

Emperor Tianqi gave an explanation that was not an explanation. In fact, Emperor Tianqi's thoughts were not as simple as he said.Emperor Apocalypse was imagining for the future, in fact, he was planning for the Spanish colonies.

The eyes can't just focus on the Taiwan Strait, this is what Emperor Tianqi knows very well in his heart.In the future, it will be a matter of time to intervene in Southeast Asia and compete for the interests there.If you want to justifiably compete for the colonies there, the Portuguese are the best excuse, and they are also good guides and forwards.

Although he was very confident in his warships, Emperor Tianqi also knew that Daming had bid farewell to the sea for so many years after all, and needed detailed charts and rich sailing experience, which happened to be what the Portuguese could provide.However, Emperor Tianqi would not say these words to Sun Chengzong, maybe it was because the time had not come, or maybe he simply didn't want to.

Sun Chengzong's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He could feel that Emperor Tianqi was hiding something from him.But Sun Chengzong also knew that since Emperor Tianqi didn't tell him, then he shouldn't know.All along, Emperor Tianqi has been honest with himself. If he didn't say anything, there must be his reasons.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" Sun Chengzong couldn't help asking when he saw that he had finished all the things he had promised, and Emperor Tianqi didn't intend to let him go.

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, and thought of a question, he said directly: "Aiqing, where do you think it is more appropriate for me to set Kaihai?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned by this question. He had already heard rumors that Emperor Tianqi seemed to intend to open the sea in Xu Guangqi's hometown.He also intended to let Xu Guangqi host Kaihai, but it was just rumors, and Sun Chengzong didn't care.

At the beginning, Emperor Tianqi really planned this way, but now the situation has become a little complicated.If you want to open the sea in Shanghai, it will take a long time to rebuild the city, which will cost a lot!After reading Xu Guangqi's budget brochure, Emperor Tianqi could only shake his head and smile wryly. The cost was too high.Since mountains and seas are not enough, then change to another place!However, Emperor Tianqi didn't know where to choose. When he saw Sun Chengzong today, he brought up this question, hoping that Sun Chengzong could give him a good suggestion. (To be continued..)
