1233 The little boy leaves home and the boss returns
In the Royal Palace of Manila City, King Yi was a little restless from the beginning.
Originally, he was very confident in the power of the imperial naval army, but when he was concerned about the battle at home, when he asked about the situation in the palace, the Ming people from Luzon told him about the power of the Western Yi warships. Especially later, when he heard that there were 75 warships on the Western Yi alone, he was not calm.
This war happened at his doorstep. Once it failed, not only would his vassal state be gone, but his life would be difficult to protect. The so-called concern would be chaotic. He had not had such an experience and began to think about it. What if?
Sometimes it is like this. The more you care, the more nervous you are; the more nervous you are, the more worried you are; the more worried you are, the more panicked you are.
When the cannon sounded in Manila Bay, his concern reached its peak. He couldn't help it, so he hurried to the top of Manila city despite his dissuasion and looked at Manila Bay. No matter what, he wanted to see with his own eyes what the situation was going on?
Who knew it would be fine if he didn't look at it, but he was scared when he saw it.
I saw that there were enemy fleets overwhelmingly overwhelmed by the legendary powerful Western warships. He looked at many and many more. In this way, he was even more worried. Even if he knew the combat plan and knew that reinforcements were waiting outside the sea, he was afraid. What if the reinforcements from outside the sea didn't have time to arrive? The Western warships were so powerful that they might have beaten Zheng Zhilong's navy in the bay in one wave, what should he do?
However, what he did not expect was that after the two sides actually started a war, the battle situation in Manila Bay was actually a one-sided battle situation.
First, the Dutch warships close to the Ming Navy sank one after another. Then, before the Dutch coalition had time to launch a large-scale attack, their own people started fighting. First, the pirates attacked the Dutch fleet, and then the Dutch fleet bombarded the pirate group. Seeing this, he felt relieved and acted calmly.
When he was in the chat group, he saw Liang Xiaozhen report that he had captured the commander of the Dutch fleet, an admiral named Anthony, and he felt relieved.
When he exited the chat group and saw that the reinforcements from the sea had appeared in the direction of the entrance to Manila Bay, he smiled and shook his head at the people around him, "I thank you, I thought you were so powerful in my opinion! Haha, see, no, even if the Western fleet is powerful, it is vulnerable to our Ming Navy!"
Looking at the King Yi with a smile on his face, his men also smiled and said, "The villain said that the Western Yi fleet is powerful, but the villain didn't say that our Ming Navy is even more powerful. The Western Yi fleet wants to come and fight our Ming Navy. This is simply an egg hitting a stone!"
King Yi was in a good mood at this time. After hearing his explanation, he laughed and didn't care. He just looked at the sea of Manila Bay, the Ming Navy's warships surrounded and captured the enemy's ships and people. Although the results of this battle have not been reported yet, King Yi could also see that it was definitely a brilliant record!
From then on, the lonely vassal state will be worry-free! King Yi thought so in his heart.
It was not until the evening that the preliminary results were calculated. Liu Jinsheng, on behalf of the navy commander Zheng Zhilong, reported to Emperor Chongzhen in a chat group: "In this battle, our army killed 356 people and injured 72 people. A total of 53 Dutch warships were captured, eleven were sunk, and eleven warships were severely damaged, so he had to give up. On the part of the prisoners, he captured Gun, Batavia Governor Kun, Dutch Fleet Admiral Anthony and others alive. He captured 5,636 pirates, and Liu Xiang's pirates were unknown. It has not yet been verified whether they were shot or mixed in the prisoners. He captured more than 36,000 indigenous people in the South Ocean and drowned countless... "
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard these numbers. No matter how he made arrangements in advance, it was only when the war resulted in it that the dust was settled. A big victory was indeed a big victory! After this battle, the entire Nanyang was controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
"I congratulate the emperor, congratulate the emperor, Nanyang is determined!"
"The last one will congratulate the emperor and the Ming Dynasty!"
“…”
For a moment, the temporary group was very lively, and congratulations began to flood the screen.
Taking control of Nanyang means that many vassal kings can be enfeoffed, and the pressure on domestic royal families will be reduced a lot. Moreover, the establishment of more vassal states in Nanyang will also drive the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade, which means that the future maritime trade tax will be greatly increased!
After spending a small price, everyone is happy!
After everyone was happy, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to take all the prisoners back to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to build roads, but the Governor of Nabatavia and the Admiral sent them to the capital together with the spirit throne of the soldiers who died in battle.
After the decree was issued, King Yi immediately contacted Emperor Chongzhen privately and complained that the feudal state had shortage of human resources and no one was mining. The feudal state did not produce enough minerals, so it was difficult to do business with the country, and it also owed a large debt to the Ming Construction Bank, which would have to be repaid.
In the end, Emperor Chongzhen agreed to give him some of the prisoners and join the Luzon pit-digging army.
King Yi got the new will and smiled in his palace. Last time, he went to intercept the Spanish silver dollar by himself, but after a lesson, he didn't even fall into his hands. Now that he has learned the lesson, he finally got some benefits. It seems that no matter what, he must remember to hold the emperor's thigh first to have soup to drink it!
He was thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen issued an order. Zheng Zhilong was in charge of the Nanyang and swept away the remaining enemies of the Nanyang who were hostile to the Ming Dynasty. He transferred Liang Xiaozhen from the factory and guard system and awarded him the general of the Ming Navy. He led fifty sailing warships and a total of 100 other warships to the port city under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. The navy's name was changed to the Ming Bangladeshi Navy. This was the first permanent Ming Navy in the Little Western Ocean (that is, the Indian Ocean).
This news made the King of Tang very happy. With such a navy, he was not worried about threats from the sea at all. In this way, he could devote himself to building domestic roads and make goods more convenient to go to sea. As an old man in the chat group, he knew that the Ming Dynasty would definitely continue to expand westward, and by then, the Tang Kingdom could become a prosperous area on the Silk Road.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about what the King of Tang had. He mobilized 100 sail warships from Nanyang to the Busan Navy Base in the North Korean province to enhance the strength of the Liaoxian Navy and prepare to join the war against Japan afterwards. Of course, Zheng Zhihu's Marines were inevitably transferred together. Special operations have proved to be able to play an unexpected role.
After a series of decrees were issued to the Nanyang side, the good news announced the world through chat groups. At the same time, Sun Chuanting's position as governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces was restored, and the temporary generation was removed.
This time, the world was shocked again. Before we knew it, the entire Nanyang was actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty. This was not only forcing the indigenous people of the South China Sea to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but was directly part of the Ming Dynasty and used to enfeoff the vassal kings in the future.
The power of the Ming Dynasty once again shocked the world. Especially the people in the south of the Ming Dynasty were all even more excited. For them, Nanyang was about to become a vassal state, which was another huge business opportunity, with many opportunities to make a fortune, and even gave many people the opportunity to become officials in Nanyang.
In order to give the vassal kings a long experience, Emperor Chongzhen joined them in the group and built a temporary vassal king group. Emperor Chongzhen could see that those vassal kings were rushing to inquire about the news about Nanyang from King Yi. Because they were about to participate in the auction of the vassal kings in Nanyang, they were confident that the price could be reported readily.
It is rare for King Yi to have such an opportunity. He was in the group and introduced the situation in the South China Sea. However, as he talked, he would talk about the Battle of Manila Bay, a large-scale naval battle he had seen with his own eyes, and a powerful naval army in the court!
Emperor Chongzhen watched him say he was in the group and just smiled. He was happy to see this situation.
After watching the chat with King Yi for a while, Emperor Chongzhen remembered something again. Although he gave Sun Chuanting the opportunity to pacify Nanyang and rescue many Ming people from Nanyang, he gave him the official position to restore his post. However, because of his selfless taxation, he did not give officials a chance to be merciful. Although he appreciated such behavior, he had just passed Yizhe, so it would be better to remind him about some things. It is not just that the factory guards were helping him secretly, and he had to change it himself.
In the past, there was a Hai Rui in the Jiajing Dynasty, who was wild and wild. He had to create one of his Chongzhen Dynasty, so he chose Sun Chuanting, but he had to follow his own design and take the initiative to cultivate one.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen clicked Sun Chuanting's avatar and gave the loyal minister a face-to-face opportunity.
At the end of May of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Taiping Port, Fuzhou, Fujian Province, has become very prosperous since King Yi was granted Luzon and King Fu was granted Annan.
Taiping Port is divided into two major ports: military and civilians. At the beginning, the military port was prosperous, and the navy was stationed here, and there was also the navy's junior military preparatory hall next to it. With more soldiers, the place became lively.
Later, the civil ports were changing almost at a rate of time a day. Not only were the ports expanded, but the docks that could accommodate the docks became larger and larger, but there were even more warehouses and shops on the docks. The wasteland around the port was no longer seen.
The merchants who ran the sea all had money. Under their leadership, they told the magistrate of Changle to report to the Governor's Office. In the end, the cement road was built here first, including the port, all of which were cement roads. This greatly facilitated the people of the port and no longer had to worry about the rainy weather in the south, which caused the roads here muddy and could not do anything.
Speaking of which, it surprised the people here. Governor Sun started as the governor of Fujian and stayed here for many years. He has always been called the "cold-faced King of Hell". No matter who or what he does, he only acts according to the laws of the court, and is ruthless. He even beat a tax-evading juren to death, which shocked countless people.
However, later, the trend of Governor Sun in the restaurant and teahouse seemed to have changed. They were discussing that Governor Sun, the cold-faced King of Hell, was actually targeting corrupt officials, fearing death of military generals, and doing nothing wrong. Who has ever experienced the ruthlessness of Governor Sun to ordinary people?
After saying this, many people think about it, this is true. Governor Sun is ruthless to those people. On the other hand, isn’t he a good official to the kindness of ordinary people!
Think about it again, what Governor Sun looked like before he came to the south and what he looked like now is obviously much better! However, some people say that this is the change in the court's national policy and the reason for the emperor's wiseness, but some people believe that the Holy Emperor is in power, but Governor Sun's cold face and heavy blows are also an indispensable contribution. Such a good official is a blessing for the people!
It was based on such public opinion that the maritime businessmen encouraged the Changle County Magistrate to report on cement road construction. Unexpectedly, Governor Sun immediately made the case and submitted a report to the court, and soon asked the Ministry of Transport to send people to deal with it first.
At this moment, I don’t know whether Sun Chuanting’s impression has changed in the hearts of civil and military officials, but there have been many changes in the hearts of ordinary people. The news of the court’s announcement that Sun Chuanting’s reinstatement was heard, and ordinary people were still quite happy.
On this day, the people of Taiping Port unexpectedly discovered that Governor Sun had come to them, and there were many followers. Many people secretly guessed that they didn’t know who would come to Taiping Port, so they actually asked Governor Sun to come to greet him in person?
Unlike their melon-eating crowds, at this time, on the sea not far from Taiping Port, there were many sailing warships coming by the wind and waves. In the cabins of several of them, the ground was full of people.
Suddenly, a Ming army officer got out of the cabin and smiled at the people here and said, "The military supervisor has an order and we are about to arrive at Taiping Port. You can go up to the deck and take a look!"
When he heard this, the originally quiet cabin suddenly broke out. It was like a stagnant pond, and suddenly an elephant fell from the air.
I saw that the people in the cabin, regardless of gender, age, all got up and said excitedly to each other.
"I'm back, finally back!"
"I finally waited for this day and night, and I finally waited for this day. Even if I die, it was worth it!"
"I don't know how my family is doing. Are they doing well? You said, have my appearance changed? Will my family still recognize me?"
"I left home and returned home, but my hometown accent has not changed, and my hair has faded..."
“…”
Amid the noisy sound, someone wanted to rush to go to the deck to check it out. So the cabin became a little messy.
At this time, an old man paused with a crutch and said excitedly: "Don't be messed up, you can leave one by one, why are you anxious when you get home?"
After he said this, someone in the cabin also became compatible.
"Everyone listens to Mr. Su, don't be confused and don't be anxious!"
"Yes, I've got home, why are you still anxious!"
"Calm, calm..."
Mr. Su, that is, Su Minggang, didn't want Su Minglun to help him, so he was the first to walk out of the cabin.
These people were all Ming people from Batavia. They were approved by the emperor and went directly to Fujian by warship.
