After Amakusa Shiro occupied Tomooka and Shimahara, he had basically gained his foothold. It was impossible for Tokugawa shogunate to be wiped out in a short time. Zhu Cijiu decided to let them consume it first. In history, the Ming Dynasty was slowly consumed by the peasant uprising army.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin rebel forces were constantly making trouble in Liaodong, accelerating the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Japan still lacked such a force, so this naturally could not defeat Zhu Cijiu. It was not difficult for him to form a Takawa shogunate to act as the Later Jin.

However, he really didn't know how the shogunate came from. Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong was in Chi Chi. This guy started his career in Japan and should be familiar with these things. So Zhu Cijiu immediately summoned Zheng Zhilong to come and meet him.

Zheng Zhilong actually wanted to go back to Jinling, but neither the Netherlands nor Spain had responded yet. Naturally, the person in charge of the negotiation could not escape. Chi Chi was about to build a naval base, so he was arrested by the emperor and became a supervisor.

By the way, this supervisor was not a difficult task for him. When he first ran to Dongfan from Japan, he built many strongholds and cities, such as ports, warehouses, and military camps. He also had some knowledge of restaurants, inns, and entertainment facilities, as well as docks for repairing warships, factories for casting artillery and shells, etc., he didn't have to worry too much about it.

But the Nandaying Navy Base is really too big. According to the size of the city wall, it may be able to accommodate nearly two million people, which is even larger than Jinling City! Even people like Zheng Zhilong who are used to seeing the world were shocked by this scale. He traveled all over Southeast Asia and had never seen such a huge city in other places. I am afraid that only Dongdaying next to the capital can compare with this.

The emperor is so bold. Although he is not old, everything he does is magnificent, like the war in Liaodong, the military factories in the capital, the Rixinglong business, and the Ming Dynasty's Atlantic commerce. One by one, it is all scary!

Zheng Zhilong was very glad that he followed the right person. There were few such emperors in all dynasties and dynasties. He was definitely a wise king who had been famous for his eternal eternity! He felt that he was very successful in doing things under such a wise king, so although the affairs in Nandaying were cumbersome, he did not bother at all. He was as respected as a prince and inspected various construction sites all day long, and was very busy.

The emperor suddenly summoned him. He thought the Netherlands or Spain had sent a letter, so he quickly ran over, but this was not the case at all. After a while of greeting, Zhu Cijiong asked directly: "How did the shogunate general come from in Japan?"

Zheng Zhilong was immediately excited when he heard this. Zhu Cijiu told his youngest son Takawa Qizaemon that he would give him the entire shogun. He didn't expect it to start so soon. He thought about it and replied concisely: "If you come back to the emperor, this shogun general was actually granted by the puppet emperor of Japan. As long as he becomes the strongest daimyo in Japan, he can ask the emperor to grant him the General of the Consciousness, and then he can form the shogun."

What I said is lightweight, is it so easy to become the strongest daimyo? Also, how did this daimyo come from? Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "How has the daimyo been there?

How can you become a famous name?"

Zheng Zhilong thought about it and said a little embarrassedly: "This, Daming is actually the local princes. If it were during the Warring States Period of the Japan Warring States Period, as long as you have strong strength, you can grab a piece of land.

It's Daming, but now the Tokugawa Shogunate general is too powerful, and no one dares to mess around in various places, so it's a bit difficult to make a daimyo."

Zhu Cijiu said proudly: "Don't worry about this, the power of the Tokugawa shogunate will soon decline. I tried my best to train him the peasant uprising army, and I will not waste him if I don't believe it!"

This is a secret, and Zhu Cijiu naturally could not promote it everywhere. Zheng Zhilong was still in the dark. He asked boldly: "I dare to ask what happened to the emperor, the peasant uprising army, is doing.

?”

Zhu Cijing laughed and said, "Aren't the Catholics in Feiqian Country rebelling? I saw that they lacked weapons and ammunition, so I seized them from the Dutch and the pirate Liu Xiang this time.

All the muskets and bird guns were sent to him, and three hundred Dutch artillery were given to him. Now they were having a great time, and the Tokugawa shogunate had to send heavy troops to suppress them. Now there are 120,000 shogunate troops gathered in Shimahara Castle. How much strength does the Tokugawa shogunate have?"

Zheng Zhilong immediately said excitedly: "That's great. As long as he consumes his 120,000 troops, Tokugawa Shogunate, he will probably not be able to suppress the names of various places. Japan will definitely return again by then.

By the Warring States Period.”

Zhu Cijing felt so proud. Of course, they were terminally ill, so why did the Ming Dynasty take advantage of the situation? But there was no need to tell Zheng Zhilong about this. He continued to ask: "I heard that your father-in-law Tian Chuan Yuhuang is still a vassal, what kind of official is that?"

Zheng Zhilong quickly explained: "It is the retainer of the Matsuura clan, the northwest of Feiqian Kingdom. He is in charge of weapons and has not many high-ranking officials."

Whether the official is high or not is not the point. Zhu Cijiu continued to ask: "Can retainers be famous?"

Here comes, here comes, Zheng Zhilong said excitedly: "As long as the retainer is strong enough, he can become a famous person in the opposite direction."

Sure enough, Zhu Cijing said directly: "That's fine. How many people are needed to kill that Matsuura clan? By the way, does your father-in-law have a son?"

Zheng Zhilong was so excited that he quickly replied: "My father-in-law has no son, and his youngest son, Takawa Qizaemon, was adopted by him to inherit his position. As for killing Matsuura

There are ten thousand people and horses enough.”

But this emperor is also cruel enough. Fortunately, his father-in-law has no son, otherwise his brother-in-law would have been caught by the emperor.

Zhu Cijing thought for a while and continued to ask: "Shi Daxuan, how many Japanese people are there under Hong Xu and Gan Hui?"

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but curse himself as a fool. Those were all his subordinates. Why didn't he expect this? There were many Japanese people there, and they quickly replied: "

The three of them have about 20,000 Japanese people under their command."

Twenty thousand people are enough, but there is another question. Zhu Cijing continued to ask: "Who of the three of them can speak Japanese?"

Zheng Zhilong replied without hesitation: "What Hong Xu and Gan Hui said is OK."

That's it. Zhu Cijiu immediately made a decision: "Then let them change the name of Japan and immediately bring 20,000 Japanese people to Jilong Island for training. When the time comes, go to Japan. Let's help first

Your father-in-law is the whole name of Dangdang."

Zheng Zhilong naturally responded happily. Now, his eldest son will be the King of Zhennan in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and his younger son will be the general of the shogunate in Japan in the future. The old Zheng family is simply filled with purple smoke from the ancestral tomb!

Zhu Cijing is still busy now and is too lazy to talk to him. He sent him away directly. The New Year is coming soon and he is going back to the capital. Things here have not been arranged yet.

The forts and forts in Xiamen, Quanzhou, Penghu, Chiāng and Kowloon have been completed. New recruits from southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces have almost been sent here, but the generals guarding have not yet been decided.

Zhu Cijing thought about it. The Zheng team is now huge enough to let them expand. Although Zheng Chenggong is a famous patriotic general, when a person's power is large enough to a certain extent, even if he has no idea, his relatives and friends will have ideas. In order to avoid being too big in the future, Zhu Cijing decided to start cultivating the Ming Dynasty's own naval generals.

Like the 300,000 new recruits this time, six generals need to be promoted. The Zheng generals already have five generals and one admiral, so it is naturally not suitable to be promoted. He screened the generals of the Ming Navy and selected some loyal and patriotic people. Now it should be here.

Zhu Cijiong called Cao Huachun in and issued an order:

Feng Gao Yingyue was the general of the central army in the southeast defense line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Chichi Castle, Jelanzha Castle and nearby forts;

Zhang Yongchan was appointed as the general of the left army in the southeast defense line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Xiamen Castle and nearby forts;

King Shangzhong was appointed as the general of the Right Army of the Southeast Defense Line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Penghu Castle and nearby forts;

Wu Zhenyuan was appointed as the general of the front army in the Southeast Defense Line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of the Kowloon Castle and nearby forts;

Chen Mengzhu was appointed as the general of the rear army of the Southeast Defense Line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Quanzhou Castle and nearby forts;

Zou Weiqing was appointed as the general of the Northern Army in the Southeast Defense Line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Tamsui Castle, Jilong Castle and nearby forts;

In order to save the cost of transferring food and grass, the generals of each town only need to send 10,000 troops to garrison the castle and fortress, and the rest gathered at the Nandaying Navy Base for training, and then allocated troops to garrison according to the situation during the war."

His idea was simple, but Cao Huachun was exhausted. The enthronement of the six people could not be written on an imperial edict. It must be divided into six parts, one by one. He wrote it in a simplified manner. Zhu Cijing was not idle either. There must be a governor in the southeast defense line. This candidate is really a headache.

In the future, the core of the southeast defense line, Nandaying will not only be the largest naval base, but also the largest trading port in the Ming Dynasty. It is probably not possible to send a military officer. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty also have the custom of leading troops, so Zhu Cijing asked the various departments in the capital to recommend candidates. At this moment, the memorials have arrived, and Zhu Cijing looks like they are sealed.

After rummaging for a long time, he finally found a suitable candidate.

Nanju Yi, whose courtesy name was Sishou, was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli. He served as the chief of the Ministry of Justice, the right deputy chief censor, the left-right governor, and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Later, because of the eunuch party, he resigned and retired. In the second year of Tianqi, he once governed Fujian and defeated the Dutch invader Yu Penghu. He was a civil and military genius, very familiar with the southeastern waters, and was of sufficient rank, and was suitable for being the governor of the southeastern.

So, Zhu Cijing decisively issued an order: "The former right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Nan Juyi, was appointed as the governor of the Southeast, and was responsible for all matters in the southeast defense line, and the generals of the six towns were subordinates."
Chapter completed!
