Chapter 25 How good is it to pit Zheng Zhilong and pick up ready-made ones
Zhu Cixuan continued: "And the immigration and reclaiming wasteland must not be the old and weak. There are at least 250,000 middle-aged men, and even more. In addition, the early immigrants and immigrants reproduction, the people under the rule of Daliuqiu are probably less than 600,000. The larger prefectures do not give in. These people probably only know Zheng Zhilong but not what the court is."
After hearing this, Chongzhen was furious: "Bastard! Xiong Wencan misled me! Today I dare to ask for credit for this thief in the court. I will definitely kill this thief..."
Zhu Cilang hurriedly said, "Father, no!"
Chongzhen glared at Zhu Cixuan: "What's wrong!"
Seeing that Chongzhen was still patiently listening to his speech, it proved that he had not lost his mind yet. Chongzhen's violent temper often wanted to kill people when he was angry.
Zhu Cilang let out a sigh: "Father, one is Zheng Zhilong, who has just made great contributions and killed ministers with great contributions. It is inappropriate for both reason and reason. Second, Zheng Zhilong has eliminated Liu Xiang and no one can control him at the sea. If he fled to the sea, he will continue to be a pirate, the losses caused may be greater than those when the Japanese pirates were not familiar with the sea defense situation of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong is clear about the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the ship is strong and the cannons are fierce."
Chongzhen said angrily: "So what, my Ming Navy can definitely..."
Chongzhen himself couldn't continue to say halfway, saying that the Ming Navy was in charge, Chongzhen himself had no confidence.
Zhu Cixuan comforted: "Besides, if the disaster continues, the Ming Dynasty will rely on shipping to obtain food from abroad and collect more crop seeds through shipping."
Chongzhen said angrily: "Then we can't let this thief continue to be rampant. Why don't we want the Great Ryukyu to change its territory and return to the current?"
Zhu Cixuan immediately took the opportunity to suggest: "Father, I think this is an opportunity."
Chongzhen asked in a daze, "What is the opportunity?"
Zhu Cilang said proudly: "This time Zheng Zhilong destroyed Liu Xiang and captured all his people. Why don't his father let Zheng Zhilong escort the prisoners into Beijing? Then the father will give him the opportunity to reform and transfer him to the Tianjin Navy. At that time, the court will get a group of soldiers who are proficient in naval battles, and there is no need to worry about being bribed by Zheng Zhilong, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Chongzhen thought for a moment and nodded: "The emperor's plan is great!"
Zhu Cilang took the opportunity to say: "In order to prevent people from being overstated, why don't my father ask the Dengzhou Navy and the Tianjin Navy to train one army? Liu Xiang's remnants also set up an army. Those who compete with the two armies will be able to compete with mediocre people. In this way, the Tianjin Navy can form an army as soon as possible. At that time, Zheng Zhilong is afraid of the majesty of the imperial navy. His father is ordering the Great Ryukyu to change the land and return to the current. I believe that Zheng Zhilong will not dare to make another move."
Chongzhen was very satisfied with this plan: "It is time to start building a new firearm in this way. Does the emperor have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Zhu Cilang shook his head: "I don't know who the navy candidates are selected. However, when Sun Yuanhua made guns and cannons, there were a few people under Sun Yuanhua who were still good at this matter, so they would rather commit crimes and make meritorious service."
Zhu Cilang really can't remember anyone who is good at sea wars. The navy generals that Zhu Cilang could remember in the Ming Dynasty were all under Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, just like Shi Lang, it was too troublesome to recruit surrender.
However, Zhu Cilang still made a suggestion: "Father, I remember that there are countless people among the internal officials who take the Three Treasures eunuchs as examples. Why not let Cao Huachun recommend one."
Chongzhen smiled slightly: "This slave does have a good way to train troops. The Warriors Camp has made many military achievements in suppressing bandits. Wang Chengen, you ordered him to come to see me."
Wang Chengen retreated and called someone Chongzhen to ask Zhu Cixuan: "What else do the emperor have?"
Zhu Cixuan hesitated for a moment and said, "What does Father think of Cao Wenzhao?"
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment and thought: "Although there are small mistakes, the flaws do not hide the merits."
Zhu Ciyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father, I heard that you were still inquiring about Lin Danhan's old subordinates two days ago. I thought that Cao Wenzhao was the best candidate to recruit Lin Danhan's old subordinates? He was extremely brave, commanded the cavalry, and served in Datong. With him, he would definitely allow more Lin Danhan's old subordinates to serve."
Chongzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After that being said, the Ministry of War said that the Nine Borders had not been distributed yet, and the drought food in the north was not enough for the soldiers on the Nine Borders to eat. He was really unable to accommodate Mongolian refugees."
Zhu Cilang hurriedly said, "Father, if we recruit one person, then Jiannu will have one less helper, and we will have another helper, which is equivalent to spending half of the money and grain to do twice the work. In addition, Lin Danhan's old cavalry can intimidate Jiannu from the outside, making him have some concerns when going south, and can intimidate bandits from the inside. Even if the bandits are good at evacuating, they are not as fast as the cavalry. Therefore, this can get four times the benefits of relegation, which is very cost-effective."
Chongzhen pondered for a while and asked, "How to solve the problem of money and grain?"
Zhu Cilang said: "Father, Lin Danhan's old subordinates are now as anxious as a dog. As long as the father sets out a piece of land for him to hide, they will definitely come with cattle, sheep and horses, so they can exchange cattle, sheep and horses for food. Besides, the harvest of summer grain is imminent, even if only three or five thousand cavalrymen are attracted, it will be of great use."
Seeing that Chongzhen was still hesitant, Zhu Cilang continued to encourage: "Father, Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang were all suitable to accept foreign races as Pingfan. If there were Mongolians leading the way, there would be no need to worry about Jiannu's invasion west of Xuanfu. The pressure on the nine sides could be reduced, and Lin Danhan's old subordinates could restrain Korqin Mongolia, so that Jiannu could not go south with all his might."
Chongzhen asked again: "Where should I place the place to rest Lin Danhan's old subordinates?"
Zhu Cilang hurriedly said, "You can order the remnants of Lin Danhan to manage Hetao. If Jiannu comes to attack, he will go to Ningxia Guard to hide."
Chongzhen pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I will issue an order today to order Cao Wen to go north to recruit Lin Dankhan's old subordinates."
Zhu Cilang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Now Jiannu's strength has expanded very quickly, especially after defeating Lin Danhan, the number of cavalry can be said to have doubled, and the threat to the Ming Dynasty has also changed from Xuanfu to the east to the entire nine sides.
This strategy was stated that if Cao Wenzhao could save tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry under his command, the Xuanda defense line would be stable in the future.
The legendary four fierce men in the late Ming Dynasty, would you live a little longer when you save this Ming Dynasty? It’s a pity that Man Gui, Zhu Cilang, thought of Man Gui, and quickly said: “Father, you can send the commander of the Jinyiwei Man Chong to assist Cao Wenzhao.”
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment before remembering: "But Mangui's descendant Man Chong? Well! Yes, as a Mongolian, he was more recognized by Lin Danhan's old subordinates, so he was accurate."
Seeing that Chongzhen was in a good mood this time, Zhu Cilang asked tentatively: "Father, when we went to see the refugees yesterday, there was a man who said that he was a deserter in the Zhongtun Guard of Kaiping. Why not let Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao lead the commander of the guards to reorganize the guard station to fill the vacancy that the Warriors Camp near the capital is out of Beijing and Beijing without the powerful army."
Chongzhen nodded: "Yongping was drought and local relief was not good. Did the emperor think of the way to find a livelihood for refugees yesterday?"
