Chapter 667: Sending troops to the east
After the establishment of the Chinese Shrine, the cabinet issued rave reviews from hundreds of officials, and the Ministry of Industry actively selected the site to start construction.
To Zhu Cihong's surprise, the Emperor Taishang sent someone to come and repeatedly requested that Yang Sichang, the former first assistant of the cabinet, also posthumously crown an earl.
The reason is that no matter what, Yang Sichang worked very hard in suppressing the Kou, and as the first assistant of the cabinet, he was finally martyred.
The courtiers had a great controversy over Yang Sichang, not only because of his handling of state affairs, but also because of his grievances with Huang Daozhou, Lu Xiangsheng and others.
Although Chongzhen did not pursue Yang Sichang after his death, the scholars and doctors generally scolded him, and many people compared him with the previous Shoufu Wen Tiren, which can be said to be slanderous all over the world.
The Confucian minister Liu Zongzhou even wrote some time ago, asking the court to hunt down the traitor Yang Sichang to thank the spirit of the Nine Temples.
Yang Sichang's two sons wept blood and wrote "Orphan Calling Heaven" and "Defamation Record" respectively to clarify all kinds of rumors attacking Yang Sichang.
Perhaps the Emperor Taishang read the defense of Yang Sichang's two sons, and only then did he feel it, and at the same time denied that he had chosen the wrong person.
Zhu Cihong wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about it, now Da Ming is the most filial piety, and he always denies the emperor, which will inevitably make people gossip.
In the end, Zhu Cihong posthumously presented Yang Sichang as a doctor who was a special entry into Guanglu, and did not pursue the title or the title, which was considered to be without merit or fault.
After all, Yang Sichang did not give Sun Chengzong the nickname back then, and he also killed Xue Guoguan at a critical moment, which almost affected the war in Liaodong.
After the arrangement of the Chinese altar was handled, Zhu Cihong began to arrange the affairs of Dongfan.
Chen Zilong, the governor of Fujian, reported that the Dutch people were still relying on Dongfan, and began to collude with the potbelly kingdom on the island.
Zhu Cihong asked, "Potbelly Kingdom?" What is it? ”
It was the first time he had heard about this kingdom, and it was still in Taiwan!
Wu Zhong didn't quite understand, and immediately sent someone to the East Factory to collect information.
After a while, the information of the East Factory was sent, and a stall leader of the East Factory read about the situation of the Big Belly Kingdom:
"In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, the Babula tribe, the Bazehai tribe and some Hongya tribes and other Dongfan aborigines established the Da Belly Kingdom, and the leader is called Alami, which means the king of the day."
"Twenty years ago, the Dutch landed in Dongfan, and it wasn't until seven years ago that the Dutch people received pirate information and didn't know about the existence of the Potbelly Kingdom."
"In the first year of Tianwu, the Dutch people took advantage of my Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty to seize all parts of the east, and the Potbelly Kingdom was defeated in the battle and submitted to the Dutch."
"At this time, the Potbelly Kingdom was friendly with the Dutch East India Company, and never submitted to my Ming Dynasty......."
Zhu Cihong frowned slightly: "The King of the Day? Who sealed him? ”
Wu Zhong waved his hand lightly, and the head of the Dongchang stall immediately retreated.
After a pause, Zhu Cihong said: "In the original "Five-Power Trade Treaty", it was stipulated that how long would it take for the Dutch to withdraw from Dongfan? ”
"Two years, Chongzhen sixteen years must withdraw from Dongfan, the Spaniards have received the silver and have retreated to Manila, but the Dutch people have been there in ink."
Looking at the island of Taiwan on the map, Zhu Cihong said lightly: "It's the second year of Tianwu, that is, they have been in Dongfan for more than two years?" ”
"Yes"
"A warning was issued?"
"Zheng Hongkui, the former governor of Fujian, Huang Daozhou and the commander-in-chief of the Pingfan fleet, repeatedly warned them to withdraw from Dongfan, and the Dutch people turned a blind eye."
"Is it true that when I have a civil war in the Ming Dynasty, I can't spare my hands to clean them up?"
Zhu Cihong's face turned cold, and he ordered: "Spread my will, expel all the Dutch merchant houses in the Ming Dynasty, and transfer Zhu Chenggong to be the chief soldier of the Ming Royal Navy's Pingfan Fleet, and be fully responsible for recovering Dongfan!" ”
"That pot-bellied kingdom, destroy it!"
"In my Ming territory, there is no bullshit kingdom!"
Zhu Cihong didn't even bother to give an ultimatum again, and fucked him directly!
He knew very well that the Spaniards, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the British, these European colonizers never gave up their desire to spy on the Ming Sea Frontier.
Don't look at them talking to Daming about civilization now, a person looks like a gentleman, and looks dignified.
In fact, the atrocities of their companions in the Americas are no less docile than those of the Eight Banners Army and the Japanese army invading China, all kinds of bullying, massacres and looting, cruel methods, and heinous crimes, shocking!
If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's defeat of the Dutch in the Battle of Liuluo Bay in the sixth year of Chongzhen, the defeat of the British in the Battle of Humen in the tenth year of Chongzhen, and the defeat of the Portuguese twice a hundred years ago, it may have been embraced by the great powers as in the late sunny day!
At that time, the governor of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, Maier, had previously called Honglu Siqing a brother and sister, like a civilized gentleman.
Since Li Zicheng went north, the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, and the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, the governor of Taiwan became completely exposed, continued to build castles such as Geranza and Chichicheng, and actively united with the local natives to eyeing the Ming Dynasty.
The law of behavior of European bandits, fist is the big brother, strength is the generation!
With the same strength, everyone is a friend.
The weak do not deserve to be friends, they can only be grandchildren!
I can't even be a grandson, I can only be a slave!
Therefore, Zhu Cihong plans to take the initiative to attack, let them taste the power of Daming's fist, and position their identities well!
The Pingfan fleet was stationed in Fujian, and it was the old bottom of the Zheng family's naval division, and Zhu Cihong let Zhu Chenggong command the troops, not only to train him, but also to suppress Zheng Hongkui by the way.
Since Zheng Zhilong was placed under house arrest in Nanjing, Zheng Hongkui regarded himself as the new master of the Zheng family, and it was necessary for Zhu Cihong to let him recognize the reality.
Because Zhu Cihong deliberately suppressed the Zheng family, the strength of the Pingfan fleet was not strong, far worse than the Jinghai fleet, so the newly built large warships were equipped with the Jinghai fleet.
However, according to intelligence, the total strength of the Dutch people in Dongfan at this time was only more than 800 people, plus the army composed of local natives, no more than 1,500 people, and the natives did not have firearms, and the Pingfan fleet could kill them no matter how bad it was.
The role of the Jinghai Fleet was to sweep the formation and intercept the reinforcements sent by the Dutch East India Company from Batavia.
This time to regain the East, the Ming Royal Navy wanted to crush the Dutch people in one fell swoop with overwhelming force, and at the same time deter the Dutch East India Company and several other bandits.
Hearing that he could return to Fujian, Zhu Chenggong, who had worked in the Imperial Forest Army for several years, cried bitterly on the spot.
Zhu Cihong comforted him a few words and encouraged: "Do a good job, this game is beautiful, I will let you fight Luzon and Dongying in the future, and the expansion of the Ming Sea Frontier depends on you!" ”
Zhu Chenggong was excited, and in order to show his loyalty, he asked on the spot to detain his four-year-old son Zheng Jing in the palace.
Zhu Cihong waved his hand casually and said: "There's no need for this, if you want to go against me, just go at will, I'm not afraid of any opponent." ”
At this time, although Zhu Cihong's words were breezy and calm, the expression he showed was extremely confident, which made people shudder.
Hearing this, Zhu Chenggong's heart was shocked, and the secret way was too, through getting along in the past few years, don't you know how many catties and two people you have?
After a few more greetings, Zhu Chenggong finally gave a deep salute and rushed to his hometown in Quanzhou, Fujian Province with a team of imperial forest troops rewarded by the emperor.
