The matter of the devil fighting the Tartars did not happen, and Yan Dashao politely refused on the grounds that his army had not yet completed the integration.

Tokugawa Hidetada knew about the affairs of the Southeast Prefecture and deeply regretted it after being rejected, and he said that this promise is valid for a long time!

Everyone separated, and the old man held Yan Changwu's hand and said, "Very good, I hope the friendship between the two countries will last forever!" If there is anything needed, His Highness will say. ”

He said this sincerely, from a geographical point of view, the southeast province is blocking the sea route of the red hair, has become the barrier of the shogunate, the southeast province and the shogunate two forces friendly development rapid, as long as the southeast province does not fall, once the sea route is blocked, the red hair fan board can not pass the Japanese country, the shogunate is as stable as Mount Tai.

As for the Ming people, the southeast mansion?

For more than 100 years, the Japanese people have understood that their own territory is not attractive to the rich Ming people, there is some gold and silver, but gold and silver can not be eaten, in fact, the geography of the Japanese country is quite bitter, there are many local villains, plus natural disasters (Kagoshima City is on the edge of the volcano), a typhoon crossed, the whole country grain harvest, the Ming people have little interest in the Japanese land.

Southeastern Province? He has not even completely occupied Taiwan, and he can let people go over to engage in development, and this kind of thing is impossible to think about with his ass.

"Don't worry, Your Highness the Great Imperial Palace, I will definitely help the shogunate!" Yan Changwu is also sincere and decisive, and the shogunate's implementation of the retreat and seclusion of the country is in his arms.

The two said goodbye, and Tokugawa Hidetada hoped that Yan Changwu would come often and come to see him more!

……

"I really feel like I'm dreaming!" Yan Changwu said with emotion.

"Finally, it's time to go home!" He said lightly.

This dispatch has greatly broadened my horizons, and we must summarize it well!

……

"It's back!" With a smile on his face, Chen Xinji, the CEO of Southeast Province, led the crowd on the dock to warmly welcome the Overseers home.

"It's back!" Yan Changwu nodded to him.

There was a burst of cheers, it turned out that Yan Changwu's two concubines came with two sons to greet their husbands, and Yan Changwu was one on each side, very happy.

The docks were crowded with people, and people from all walks of life came to welcome their children back in victory.

The clothes are not as good as the newcomers, although they are good outside, they are comfortable at home!

Yan Changwu couldn't wait to put on his wings and go home early to rest.

In the earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums, Yan Changwu still has a business to complete.

He presided over the "Sixth Captain's Qualification Certificate Class Graduation Ceremony" and presented certificates to the newly qualified captains and senior officers.

In fact, each cruiser carried three groups of senior crew members who were trained during the voyage and commanded the warship on their behalf, thus obtaining a certificate of induction.

Storm the chief instructor of the Naval Academy was on a cruiser to guide, and Yan Changwu's old friend Mr. David was also on a cruiser to guide, anyway, the instructors and students were very busy, the cadets through this voyage, the middle and senior commanders of the Navy gained key qualifications and experience on the ship, and got the certificate of induction, while the junior commanders carried out practical training, the crew passed the internship, the older ones were ready for further promotion, and the young new recruits gained experience.

Not only that, but this voyage also opened up the waterway and achieved a foothold, and every year in the future, the navy of the southeast province can go to the north for long-distance training, which is extremely necessary for the construction of a strong navy.

“…… Congratulations on the excellent results in this voyage and the captain's qualification certificate! Yan Changwu handed out the certificates to the eight freshly baked senior officers and took the lead in clapping.

There was applause at the scene.

Of course, the ceremony will not be so simple, there are instructors to summarize, newcomers to express their positions and leaders to speak, anyway, when they come back, it is more than ten o'clock in the morning, and it will not end until noon.

No more dinners, all the trainees were disbanded on the spot and sent home to their families.

Others can go, but the boss can't go, Yan Changwu has to go to the meeting, because he must understand the military situation.

The Dutch in Batavia (Indonesia) have an anomaly!

In the conference room, Yan Changwu listened to the meeting: Since the summer, the number of Dutch ships in Batavia has been gathering, and there are no arrivals and exits, and even if they go out, they will run a short voyage and return soon.

"As of the deadline, there are 42 Dutch ships in Batavia!" Chen Xinji said in a deep voice.

This is very unusual, the Dutch who have traveled all over the world do not actually have the concept of a "naval fleet" outside of Europe, that is, when needed, merchant ships are used as gunboats, which is in line with the Dutch nature, and when they are maritime merchants, they turn to pirates.

The Dutch are busy with business, and they will not easily go to the port, and they will not tolerate staying in the port without making money.

That's a lot of 42, and it's likely that this number will continue to grow.

How many merchant ships (warships) are enough to blockade ports, attack land, and destroy the fleets of other countries.

What they want to do, they have to arouse serious suspicions in the Southeast Mansion!

"Any other news?"

"They are stockpiling supplies, artillery, shells, sail lines, paint, food, ...... In the communication with their captain and the ship, they did not know the purpose, and they were all scolding and delaying their business. ”

"What about the rest of the red hairs?"

"The Portuguese in Macau and the Spaniards in the Philippines are all right. Moreover, there is no change in the boundary of Fujian, but in Guangdong, we found that Li Kuiqi and Liu Xiang have merged, their ships are mixed together, and they are gathered in the Huilai area, and there are currently more than 100 warships, and the number is still rising! ”

Both are pirates, Li Kuiqi and Yan Changwu P had a fight, but they were defeated and had to flee Fujian, and Liu Xiang is also an acquaintance, and he once found someone to assassinate Yan Changwu.

"They're definitely conspiring against me! Can't be wrong, the Dutch have already colluded with the pirates! Yan Changwu said categorically, and he asked Deputy Admiral Li Yingdao: "What about our preparations for war?" ”

"At present, the leave of all the servicemen has been cancelled, training and maintenance are being carried out in an orderly manner, all the armaments have been inspected, the ships and batteries have been prepared, the materials have been stockpiled, and the militia has strengthened ......their training," Li Ying recounted the preparations for war, and gave a detailed account of the situation of each ship, each battery, and each militia unit, as well as logistical supplies.

Forts were set up in all major ports, militia units were prepared in each town, muskets were put away in normal times, and muskets were used in training (people in the southeast province were forbidden to carry guns)

"Good!" Yan Changwu stood up, looked at the big port outside the window, where a large number of ships were moored and said: "The South China Sea is coming, we let them come and go!" ”
