Chapter 143 Tiger Tiger Tiger
News from Chen Mo in Beijing shows that Zheng Guozhu was having a quarrel with his son. For this reason, Zheng Guozhu went to the palace to seek support from the concubine's daughter.
But for some reason, this time, the imperial concubine did not support her father, but instead asked someone to bring a message to her younger brother Guotai, saying that although she asked you to be the commander of the emperor's personal army, it was for outsiders to see, and she could not really reach out to the military power of the personal army. This is a taboo. If a relative of the foreigner is involved, something big will happen.
Eunuch Wei analyzed it himself. The one who wanted military power was your concubine, so that Zheng Guotai was the commander of the later Zheng Guotai. Now the concubine suddenly changed her course. It must be that the concubine played a role in her affection.
No matter what, my family and the Queen are always a pair of wild mandarin ducks. The couple is grateful for one night. What is the difference between this personal army's military power in the hands of this little lover and a brother?
The imperial concubine was so determined to make her younger brother, the commander, just be justified. She was stupid. She offended the good minister, the little lover, and the second was to put the Zheng family in vain.
It’s better to make a fortune in silence. If her Empress really needs to be in trouble, can Eunuch Wei ignore it?
Moreover, Eunuch Wei was extremely suspicious that the new dragon seed in the empress's belly was planted by herself. Calculate the time, wasn't it just that Eunuch Wei was working hard to cultivate those days?
When he thought that he might have conceived the imperial concubine, Eunuch Wei couldn't help but shivered: Oh, he is a mess!
Eunuch Wei dared not ask the imperial concubine to verify whether he was a family farm. He would have to "discuss" him after he had time to go to Beijing next time.
Without his daughter's support, Jung Seung-heon is obviously much more honest. According to his personal preferences, I think he will continue to immerse himself in his "Chief Leader" dream in the past few years.
As for whether Zhang Cha was included as the guardian of the sect like history, it was his Zheng Zheng's business, and Eunuch Wei would not interfere.
If the "Strike Case" can be repeated once, it will be beneficial to Eunuch Wei in politics, so he is happy to see it happen.
Shen Yourong came to Chiayi this time to solve the problem of the Ryukyu Village Mountain Fleet.
The smooth landing in Taiwan has made the sound of the "main battle" of the joint fleet higher and higher, especially the recent invasion of the Murayama-bu Japanese soldiers along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian have made the officers and soldiers feel indignant.
Some senior generals of the Imperial Army, led by Ichiro Sanada, Yukiji Yamamoto, and Ding Xiaogong, even submitted their blood letters to the base camp, requesting that the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Army be able to attack Ryukyu and tear the Japanese pirate Akian Murama Yama to pieces!
The commander-in-chief of the joint fleet, Shi Dezheng and deputy commander-in-chief of Hou Anzhi, could not suppress these powerful imperial generals brought by Eunuch Wei. In addition, the chief of staff, Shen Yourong, also supported the attack on Ryukyu, so he completely took down this sea trade war. Therefore, Shi Dezheng sent Shen Yourong to Chiayi to report to Eunuch Wei in person, and listened to Eunuch Wei's guidance on whether to attack Ryukyu.
"Ryukyu is a good place. It is between the Taiwan Island of Huangming and the Kyushu Island of Japan. I heard that it winds for more than a thousand miles and has many islands. It is an indispensable transit place for East Asia's maritime trade. Well, when we read the Romance of the Wanguo in the past, we said that Ryukyu was called Wanguo Jinliang..."
Ryukyu is what Japan calls Okinawa, the local father-in-law must be very clear about it. If he takes Ryukyu, he can attack Japan. During World War II in the previous life, the Americans fought a big battle in Ryukyu, and he had to seize the island with great sacrifices. Later, this island became a key link in the island chain that blocked China.
"Dad, if the Japanese soldiers do not occupy such treasure land, they will be recaptured if they occupy our Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, over time, our Ming Dynasty will lose its majesty spirit."
Chen Yourong proposed that the generals in the joint fleet who are now opposed to attacking Ryukyu are actually worried that they cannot solve the problem of the Japanese soldiers, Muramayama Aki'an tribe, but that they are worried that they will have "international influence."
This "international influence" is that the Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Ryukyu kings all dynasties have submitted a letter to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, if the joint fleet attacks Ryukyu, it will be difficult to explain to the court.
After all, the Ming Dynasty has always advocated protection of vassals rather than invasion. The Korean War more than ten years ago was a war fought for the Ming Dynasty to protect vassals and fulfill its responsibilities as the sect leader.
"Our family means fighting!"
Eunuch Wei reiterated his opinion. He said to Chen Yourong, "We will deal with the imperial court. Although the Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal of our Emperor Ming Dynasty, it was invaded by the Japanese Satsuma vassal two years ago. Now it has become the base for Japan to invade Taiwan and even the coast of our Ming Dynasty. It is like a nail. If you don't remove the nail, I will have no peace after the Ming Dynasty... You, go back and explain to General Shi and Admiral Hou that Ryukyu must be solved. Even if they do not support our family's expedition to Japan, they must defeat Ryukyu!"
Eunuch Wei's attitude was firm, which made Chen Yourong secretly happy.
"How to fight is your business, our family is not asking whether to draw or adjust the joint fleet or use some of the troops, it will be arranged by you, the chief of staff. Anyway, our family only needs Ryukyu."
"What should I do here in Taiwan?"
"It's okay, the matters in Taiwan will be handled by the Guards Division of the Taiwan Security Division. Your joint fleet will just go to sea. When the sky falls, our family can support you."
"Then go back and bring your father-in-law's meaning to you."
"No hurry, you just came, it's not too late to go back to Keelung after two days of rest."
Chen Yourong nodded, and Eunuch Wei suddenly pointed to Ryukyu on the chart and said, "Well, fighting Ryukyu is the first long-distance battle between the joint fleet. The opponent not only has the two thousand Japanese soldiers from Kurayama Akian, but also some Japanese soldiers from Samofan. It is considered a tough bone... We must win all and show the power of our Ming Dynasty!... Let's give this operation a code name, well, it's called 'Tiger Tiger'."
.............
Chen Yourong set off for Ingelon on the third day. He brought a letter from Eunuch Wei to all the officers and soldiers of the joint fleet. In the letter, the old man analyzed the necessity of expedition to the officers and soldiers from a comprehensive perspective to the officers and soldiers to eliminate the Japanese army. He emphasized that Japan's occupation of Ryukyu was a blatant provocation to the Emperor Ming, the root cause of the disaster in East Asia, and the inevitability of the ambition to dominate the East!
If you cannot cut off the ambitions of Japan's wolf, you will collude with the countries of Xiti, increase military preparations around our empire, challenge me, obstruct the peaceful trade of our empire, and poison the peaceful people of our empire!
Therefore, once the fleet is set off, the officers and soldiers must slaughter the Japanese pirates with a decisive attitude. They must not have a lucky mentality, nor should they have the idea of underestimating the enemy. Only by working hard can our empire be peaceful for generations!
In addition, it was a private letter to Chen Yourong, the commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet. In the letter, the father-in-law stated that the three provinces jointly advocated the maritime cause, which was his common wish with the Siming Gong. Therefore, as a key part of the maritime cause, the commander-in-chief must seize the basil.
"If the war is victorious, the original regime of Ryukyu should be banned, and the king's son and other prominent people should be quickly transferred to Taiwan to settle."
At the end of the letter, it was the father-in-law's decision on the Ryukyu Kingdom. This decision was the father-in-law's decision on the Ryukyu Kingdom by exercising the power of the admiral maritime eunuch to decree the first and then report to the Ryukyu Kingdom.
