The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 734 Overseas Strategy

Dai Xiuyuan was flattered, and immediately ordered his fiancée to kneel and kowtow, and then sat up straight as far as possible and bowed deeply to Zhu Lin, "The last general thanked the sage for his grace!"

"Excuse me." Zhu Linmei helped him up with a smile, and continued, "Shandong is newly restored, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. It is just in need of a competent minister. You came to Japan from outside the Great Wall, and you have made great contributions after leaving your homeland for a long time. This time, I will stay in Shandong and serve as the governor of Shandong, and manage the place for me."

The land of Lu connects the north and south Zhili, and its location is at the forefront of controlling North Korea and Japan. The governor of Shandong naturally has a lot of power, how can Dai Xiuyuan not know this.He hastily bowed again solemnly, "Minister, take the decree to thank you! I will do my best to live up to the great trust of the Holy One!"

"Okay." Zhu Linmei nodded, and turned to the generals to indicate to the temporary ceremony platform in the distance, "The navy has many important things to do in the future, and it is difficult to return to Beijing. Extremely problematic."

Zheng Chenggong and other generals hurriedly bowed to thank them, and walked out of the pier with him.

Zhu Linmi asked Dai Xiuyuan again: "Ting Xuan, tell me about the current situation in Japan in detail."

"Yes." Dai Xiuyuan clasped his hands and said, "There are two strongest forces in the Wa country at present, the first is the Tokugawa family and a dozen powerful daimyos loyal to the shogunate, and the second is the 'Western Army' formed by Mori and Shimadzu. The respondent also has five or six famous names.

"In addition, the Catholics have captured Hizen and Chikuzen, with nearly ten thousand troops. I was worried that they would conflict with the neighboring Shimadzu family, so I asked Lou Ming to take some believers by boat to the Anfang and Shangzong areas in the east. Raise trouble. These places have been influenced by Catholicism in the past, so the speed of missionary work is extremely fast, and the congregation may be raised to rebel in the next few days.

"The other force is Toyotomi Tsuchimaru, the fourth son of Toyotomi Hidetsuji, ah, now he has changed his name to Toyotomi Yongkichi. He held the banner of Toyotomi's orthodoxy, but he also won the support of Fukushima and other families. The Tokugawa family Being restrained by the Western Army, I can only watch them grow up in the Shikoku area for a while."

Zhu Linming asked suspiciously: "I remember that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's descendants should all be dead. Could it be that this earth pill slipped through the net?"

Dai Xiuyuan smiled slyly, "Your Majesty once taught me to use both the truth and the truth against the barbarians. I thought that Xiu's second son had many heirs, and it was appropriate to make a fuss about it, so I asked a female family member of the Fengchen family to identify a middle-aged man. He is a descendant of Shuji, and he only said that another baby was exchanged for Tumaru. Now Japan is in chaos, and all forces want to gain a righteous name, so there is no one to discern the truth from the fake."

Zhu Linmei nodded slightly, "Tingxuan's plan is very clever."

Dai Xiuyuan continued: "There are also Uesugi and several big Ming families in the Northeast. Although they are the Western Army on the surface, they are actually their own faction. As for other small forces that wait and see or take advantage of the opportunity, there are more than ten groups.

"Before I left Japan, the Tokugawa clan was fighting the Harima War with the Western Army. Both sides had victories and losses, and the casualties were extremely heavy."

"The more chaotic Japan is, the more beneficial it will be for Ming Dynasty." Zhu Linmi thought for a moment, and said, "In this case, let's add fire to the Japanese people. The decree is that Feng Mao Lixiu will be the general of Japan's conquest of barbarians, Feng Fengchen Yongji was the Taige, and Shangshan Gangsheng was named Guanbai.

"Since the Japanese have come up with so many titles to hold power, we can just use them."

Dai Xiuyuan hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to talk about Maoli, but Toyotomi and Uesugi have no contact with us. If you refuse..."

"Tingxuan doesn't need to worry, let the merchant ship go with military weapons and armor, and only award it to those who accept the conferment of Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid they will rush to receive the conferment."

Before the Ming army won successive victories, they seized countless matchlock guns and armor from Jianlu. Zhu Linmi didn't like these extremely outdated weapons at all. She originally planned to go back to the furnace and recast them, and now she will allocate a little to "support" Japan. Civil wars cost almost nothing.

General, Taige, Guanbai, etc. are all titles that ruled the whole country or half of the country during the Warring States Period of Japan.The Japanese are warlike, and now they have received weapons to support them. The forces of all parties will fight to become the "boss" of Japan.

Not to mention that there is a Catholic armed force that is deeply controlled by Ming Dynasty to provoke trouble, it is impossible not to fight.

When the Japanese fight reached the peak stage, the weapons captured by Daming could even be sold at a high price.

Zhu Linming also ordered: "Ting Xuan is very familiar with the situation in Japan and North Korea. In the future, you can let others deal with small matters cheaply, and be careful to keep their forces in balance. If there are major matters, please let me know. "

"Sir, lead the order."

Just as they were talking, a group of people had arrived at the reception desk.

Zhu Linmei raised her hand to signal, and immediately a dozen horns sounded all around, and then the military drums sounded.

Then 27 navy generals lined up in three neat rows to receive the honor from the Son of Heaven.Dai Xiuyuan was injured, so he could only sit on a stretcher and his servants carried him aside.

Although only [-] soldiers from the Imperial Battalion witnessed the awarding process, it was still extremely solemn.

Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang, and Dai Xiuyuan all won the Golden Qilin Medal, which symbolizes the highest honor of Ming soldiers, and more than a dozen others, including Liu Guoxuan, Ruan Jin, and Zhang Guoxuan, won the second-class Golden Lion Medal.In the future, even if the chief minister of the cabinet sees these heroes, he will have to treat them equally.

Even the six or seven people with the lowest merit are also the third-class Golden Leopard Medal, which shows the great military exploits of the navy in the past six months.

After the awarding of honors was over, everyone followed Shengjia back to Laizhou government office.

Zhu Linmei first sent Dai Xiuyuan to rest in the back hall - the latter was hit by three arrows in the leg, the injury is not serious, and he still needs to be recuperated.

Then he called Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang and other core navy generals to the front hall and began to arrange the future tasks of the navy.

"Now that there are no more constraints from the Red Barbarians, Ming's overseas caravans will go deep into Southeast Asia, mainly for trade in Luzon, Annan, Goa and other places. But Batavia still has a Red Barbarian fleet, so the navy must be careful for our merchant ships. convoy.

"By the way, there is also Guinea. A few days ago, the Ministry of Commerce reported that the copper and iron mines there have begun to be produced. In the future, there will be an important source of income for the imperial court. From now on, the navy will be in Guinea regularly. And Australian waters patrol, prohibit any barbarian ships approaching, offenders can be sunk immediately.

"Ah, there are also waterways to Europa and the north and south Morriga continents. Although the Ministry of Commerce is in charge of the exploration, the Navy should try their best to help send ships along the way..."

Zheng Chenggong was able to keep calm when he heard that he was escorting a Nanyang merchant ship. When he heard that he would patrol Australia, cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

Finally, when Zhu Linming mentioned Europa and Morriga, his face had already turned pale, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, with the navy's current warships and manpower, it is extremely difficult to patrol Australia. If you want to sail further A foreign land thousands of miles away, I'm afraid I'm not capable enough..."
