Chapter 372: Liaodong deployment, Dutch ghost

Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai were shocked. Unexpectedly, the emperor was so smart that he would take the retro path.

If the soil is split and the thals are granted titles, isn’t it a prince? That seems to be a thousand years ago, and it has never happened since the Tang Dynasty.

The world is so big and there are so many lands, whoever grabs it will belong to it. As for fiefs, some overseas are just in this name, and they are just expanding their territory.

The emperor did not explain deeply, and turned to explain to Gou Zhenhuai.

There is only one Dongjiang Town left in the Liaodong War Zone, but it is divided into two parts. With the Liaohe River as the boundary, it is divided into the Eastern War Zone and the Western War Zone.

The Western War Zone is centered on Guangning and Yizhou as the outpost, as the backing of the naturalized Neikhalk tribes. The main task is to support the naturalized Mongolian tribes and resist Lin Dankhan's attack.

The Eastern War Zone is centered on Liaoshen and Jianzhou as the outpost. It is a base for advancing northwards and eliminating the remnants of Jiannu.

The deployment of troops in the two major war zones is of course the East War Zone is stronger than the West War Zone. The main forces in the East War Zone are the Naturalized Flying Cavalry Camp led by Man Gui, Cao Bianjiao, Fan Hualong's Flying Cavalry Camp, and Lancavalry Camp.

The troops in the Western War Zone were equipped with complete cavalry and cavalry, with the main generals including Zhang Pan, Yang Guozhu, Liu Xingzuo and others.

Mao Wenlong is the head coach, Gou Zhenhuai and Chen Jisheng are the deputy coaches, responsible for the Western War Zone and the Eastern War Zone respectively. In other words, the three senior generals in Dongjiang Town have basically not changed.

But this arrangement also has deep meaning. Gou Zhenhuai was born in the Fufu Department and was good at conspiracy, which was more beneficial to the division of the Mongolian tribes.

Chen Jisheng and Jiannu had fought countless battles, and had a calm personality. He moved northward and took every step forward. He should be his strength.

As Mao Wenlong, as the head coach, he stayed in Chenyang most of his time and just commanded the battle.

The emperor said the general arrangement, glanced at Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai, and asked with a smile: "What are the additions or suggestions for the two dear ministers."

Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed and said, "Long live the wise and magical martial arts, I feel that it is perfect."

It is normal to transfer the leader. Although he did not seek his opinion in advance, some of the transferred people were his confidants. But in Mao Wenlong's opinion, this was also a test for him.

The generals of the border town are far away from the court. What they fear most is the accusation that they are self-respecting and domineering.

What's more, Dongjiang Town is the army of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a general of the Ming Dynasty. How dare you show dissatisfaction and arouse suspicion of appointing confidants?

Gou Zhenhuai also bowed to agree, and the decision was made, not necessarily the emperor's intention, but it was definitely the result of discussion with the Ministry of War.

The emperor did not explain much. He was the emperor. It was already condescending to ask, but it seemed strange to say more.

Of course, if Mao Wenlong raises objections to the general's move, he will not have to go back to Liaodong. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to Mao Wenlong regards it as a test.

Seeing that nothing happened, the emperor rewarded the two of them with clothing and property, and they thanked them and left.

The hall was empty, and the emperor closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the dragon throne, thought for a while before getting up and leaving.

The matter in Liaodong was basically confirmed, and the rest was reconstruction, accumulating food and supplies, building ships and warships, and advancing the camp step by step.

As for slaves, it is a task that has been completed easily.

When a stone fell to the ground, the emperor felt relieved. Although the financial pressure was still there, it was no longer a major issue related to the survival of the country. He also had many ways to make money.

After leaving the Ganqing Palace, the emperor went directly to Concubine Zhang Yu. The two cute little princesses are now his favorites. They thought that if they didn't see each other for two days, they would feel like they had lost something if they didn't hug them for three days.

"Father!"

"Father!"

When two little girls in pink and jade were yelling in a silence and threw themselves into the emperor's arms, it was the happiest and most comfortable time for the emperor to fly.

Whenever this happened, Concubine Zhang looked at it with a smile on her face, without saying much, and her heart was filled with deep joy.

The more stable the throne is, the more peaceful the world will be. The happier your women and descendants will not be able to escape the end of the dynasty, or even die.

The emperor smiled happily, gently touched his daughter's little face, feeling that he had done a big thing, prolonging his life to the Ming Empire and allowing millions of Ming people to live safely.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When the emperor wanted to expand his territory and regain Chengzu's idea of ​​expanding his territory, he first understood not the ministers of the court or the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, but the navy led by Chen Yourong.

The traditional name of the Navy, the Ming Dynasty, has not changed in several years. However, in terms of power and nature, it has been divided.

Needless to say, the inland naval divisions remained; the offshore naval divisions, that is, the old naval forces of the Ming Dynasty, have decreased year by year in number, while the newly formed East China Sea Fleet and South China Sea Fleet are constantly expanding.

More than 30 large and medium-sized ships and more than 200 artillery guns each year are basically no less than this number.

In a few years, the two major fleets of the Ming Dynasty have each had more than 200 large and medium-sized ships. If small ships are added, they have exceeded 500.

The Beijing Firearms and Weapons Bureau, the Guangzhou Weapons Bureau, and the Nanjing Weapons Bureau. After the talent flow and complement each other, Portuguese technicians were hired to cast Red Barbarian cannons (long-barrel cannons) and short-barrel cannons on warships.

The red cannons originally planned to be equipped with the army for attacking the enemy were transferred to two major fleets after Ningyuan had only been equipped with part of them.

Because, with flintlock muskets and bayonets, and other small and medium-sized cannons, Jiannu cannons can no longer play a greater role.

Even the Red Cannons were not many of them cast and equipped for the two fleets, and there were quite a few Garang cannons, which saved a lot of costs than the Red Cannons.

Such a large number made the emperor feel relieved. Although it is not certain that he could defeat the Western fleet in Asia on an expedition, it was enough to defend the enemy along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Just as the emperor had arranged the post-war affairs in Liaodong and had just enjoyed a few days of leisure, an information made him frown again.

According to reports from maritime merchants and secret spies stationed by various Southeast Asian countries, the Dutch were preparing to dispatch a fleet to the South China Sea. Of course, their target of attack was not the Ming Dynasty, but the Portuguese in Macau.

When the Dutch thought that the Portuguese could occupy Macau, they snatched it from the Portuguese, which was not considered a war with the Ming Dynasty. According to the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the Portuguese, they could also gain a foothold in Macau.

What kind of bullshit logic? After receiving the information, the emperor rushed into the hall and felt incomprehensible about the Western Barbarians' thinking.

After he thought for a while, he shook his head helplessly and sighed. This was also blamed by the Ming court, and even more by the Ming emperor, which gave the Western Barbarians such an impression.

The Dutch occupied Penghu a few years ago. Although they were defeated by the Ming Navy, they rely on their number and manpower advantages, which obviously did not make the Dutch ghosts realize their mistakes.

Because of this, they are about to make a comeback.
