Zheng Zhilong laughed with a relaxed look on his face and said, "It's just taking over Haojing's defense, and the Portuguese dare not act rashly. But the necessary pressure is essential."

The emperor had no plan to drive away the Portuguese in the short term, but instead expanded the Guangzhou commercial port and pushed the maritime trade to a greater prosperity.

A weak Portugal was the European trading partner that the Ming Empire could grasp and trust. The reason was very simple, and it did not pose a threat to the Ming Empire.

Moreover, if he did not completely make a fuss with the Portuguese, the emperor's eyes were still staring at Malacca occupied by the Portuguese.

With Portugal's strength, Malacca cannot be saved. When the Dutch feels that they have enough strength in Asia and have a stable foundation, they will send troops to attack.

At that time, the Ming Empire could benefit from the fisherman and get the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

Therefore, the emperor allowed the Portuguese to continue living in Haodi. However, defense must be controlled by the Ming army and government affairs shall be governed by the government.

This involves the sovereignty of the country, although no one understood this concept in the feudal era. The Portuguese gradually stabilized in Macau, and the reason was that the Central Plains dynasty did not pay attention to it and did not understand this principle.

Now there have been major changes. The emperor not only wanted to take back Macau's rule, but also ordered the navy to patrol the island, erect stones and erect monuments, and declare sovereignty.

In addition to sovereignty, there is also territory and territorial waters, which are also actions that the emperor wants to indoctrinate and put into practice.

Of course, like the new concept launched by the emperor, it takes a process to be accepted and understood by people, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

Compared with the officer Wang Huazhong, although Zheng Zhilong did not have much knowledge, his understanding of the emperor's will was deeper and more thorough.

He gave both strength and kindness and took power with ease. He completed the emperor's instructions cleanly and beautifully, and Hao Jing's governance was his Zheng Zhilong.

Wang Huazhong was the direct idea of ​​a soldier. He was crushing his strength, and he didn't talk nonsense if he could fight, and he solved the Portuguese thoroughly.

He laughed twice, and Wang Huazhong did not argue with Zheng Zhilong. After all, the work of reclaiming the power of Haojing was led by Zheng Zhilong.

At this moment, a cavalry rushed out of Guangzhou city and rushed straight, attracting the eyes of Zheng Zhilong and Wang Huazhong, and they also had speculation and expectations in their hearts.

The rider rushed to the front, turned over and dismounted, and reported: "Two sirs, the navy reported urgently that the six warships of the Dutch Red-Mao Yi were wiped out, and our army was on its way back."

Zheng Zhilong and Wang Huazhong looked at each other and showed a relaxed smile.

"In this way, I should ask you to thank you for your visit. I will talk to him." Zheng Zhilong smiled and dusted his official uniform, with a confident look on his face.

Gong Xie was an artillery instructor hired by the court. He was clear about the combat power of the Ming army and could help the Portuguese make rational decisions.

In fact, for the Portuguese in Haojing, as long as the Ming Dynasty cut off its trade or blocked it at sea, it would be enough to put it in a desperate situation.

However, the emperor wanted to take this great opportunity to win the best interests without fighting. If the Portuguese were ungrateful and eliminated hundreds of people, it would not be difficult for the Ming Dynasty.

……………………………….

No matter how the battle with the Dutch was, there were only two results. Victory was achieved cleanly and at a certain price, and the governance of Macau must be taken back.

The emperor had no doubts about victory. There were so many ships, so many artillery, and an astonishing number of rockets. Even a melee without tactical styles, the Dutch were by no means an opponent.

As for the Portuguese, if there are no ships, there will be only one or two armed merchant ships at most; the number is not large, and all armed is only a few hundred. How can we resist the fully armed regular army?

Therefore, the emperor believed that he had prepared enough to fight and did not need to worry about it. The battle with the Dutch was only one part of the strategic arrangement of the entire empire.

At this time, the emperor was immersed in the happiness of having a son.

In fact, the queen gave birth to the dragon son, not only the emperor was excited, but also the ministers and the people were happy.

This is not a concubine, but the queen of the mother of a country. The boy is the legitimate son and can even be regarded as the crown prince, although the emperor still needs to be enthroned and corrected.

The emperor was excited because he had children, which had greatly changed history. He really lost confidence in Zhu Youjian, and a person's personality was difficult to change. He really didn't want his efforts to reform to be ruined.

The ministers were excited because the emperor had successors and inherited in an orderly manner. In just a few years, the traditional education they received could not be changed.

The people are happy because this is a great joy. Whenever there is such a great joy, the court will always introduce policies such as tax reduction and amnesty.

"Accurate!" The emperor drank fragrant tea and briefly ordered the memorial.

The world was amnesty, except for the death row prisoners, other criminals were exiled, Mekong Province, Dongfan, Hainan, and Borneo.

That's right, the development of the Maritime Merchant Group in Borneo requires a lot of manpower, while criminals have the lowest cost.

The same is true in other places. The development potential is huge, and manpower is the most popular and there is no need to spend money to recruit.

"Accurate!" Shaanxi has all exempted and all affected areas have been exempted. Even if there is no big happy event, the emperor will do so.

The bloody lessons in history are that taxes are paid even when disasters occur, which forces the people to rise up, just to stutter and to survive.

If this most basic claim cannot be satisfied, then what reason does the dynasty not be destroyed?

After processing the memorial, the emperor relaxed and did not forget to turn to Wang Tiqian and ordered: "Parent Wang, celebrate only in the palace, and there is no need to waste it."

"I obey the order." Wang Tiqian looked happy and bowed, "Don't worry, I will definitely do this great joy in honor and grand manner, and it will not be extravagant."

There is no shortage of festive supplies in the palace, and they must be used during the New Year and Festival. Since the emperor has such instructions, Wang Tiqian will naturally do it well.

He held a wine and feast and collected more money. The emperor smiled and gave up this idea.

……………………………….

Shaoyingyuan.

The news spread very quickly, but the children were just happy for a while, and most of them didn't take this matter to heart. If they were adding dishes or on holidays, they would be even more joyful and jumping.

But Hai Lanzhu and Bumubutai are different. The sisters felt that this time of great joy, they might be allowed to live home for a long time, or even return to the grassland.

"My father is timid, I'm afraid he won't dare to make a report, right?" Hai Lanzhu shook her head uncertainly, and her eyes dimmed.

Although the emperor appointed Zaisanbu and his great official positions and gave them houses in the capital, Wu Keshan was released to Korqin and became Zhasak.
