Chapter 257: The Royal South Sea Fleet
"This Zhaisang is too beautiful to think about."
Zhu Youxiao took the report in his hand and almost laughed angrily.
"He thinks that by marrying an eldest daughter to me as a side concubine, he will be able to continue to retain the Horqin tribe and continue to occupy the Horqin steppe?"
This kind of example is absolutely unacceptable.
Don't say that you Zhaisang will marry a daughter and come to Daming, even if you pick tens of thousands of grassland beauties to enter the palace, this kind of problem is not negotiable.
Hum! I'm a man who doesn't have feelings!
He immediately asked someone to bring the holy decree and pass it on to Yan Yingyuan, who sent the report:
Whether Nazhai Sang marries his eldest daughter or not, the Horqin tribe, all the people must join the royal construction brigade and start the promotion of the two basic national policies of the Horqin steppe as soon as possible.
If Zhaisang and the other tribal leaders objected, they marched immediately and marched north.
The three all-cavalry field regiments that had been formed immediately wiped out the Horqin tribe, completely cleaned up the Horqin steppe, and controlled the fertile territory.
It is also necessary to let Nazhai Sang know that the crime of bullying the king cannot be committed, and the things that go back on his word cannot be targeted against the emperor.
The Horqin tribe, the most heinous person, must be killed and raided, and the rest of the people can be treated the same as the people of the Ming Empire, which is the plan of the northern prairie of the Ming Empire that must be strictly implemented.
Handing over the secret decree to the big golden eagle to take away, Zhu Youxiao walked out of the city lord's mansion in Hong Kong and came to the meeting hall.
There are already many generals of the Royal Navy's East China Sea Fleet waiting here.
Because Zhu Youxiao was about to return to the capital, he had to hold a meeting to explain some things clearly.
That Yan Yingyuan and several core ministers of the Ming Empire have sent secret reminders one after another in the past two days.
said that His Majesty the Emperor's concubine ceremony has been prepared, and no matter whether Nazai Sang sends his daughter over at that time, the concubine ceremony after ten days will be held as scheduled.
After a small national audition, the Ming court has selected three women of appropriate age for Zhu Youxiao, and after the queen's personal inspection, they will be the objects of the emperor's concubine.
It seems that the ministers are really in a hurry, and no matter what, the emperor wants to make the expansion of the royal population the top priority.
It is estimated that when he returns to Beijing this time, Zhu Youxiao will have to come out and wander around in the future, and he must wait until at least one of the queen's concubines is pregnant before agreeing to his request to go out of the capital.
Otherwise, you, the emperor, will always stay in the imperial city, work hard for the royal family, day and night!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start returning to the capital today, and before leaving, I will explain some things."
Zhu Youxiao strode to the big wooden chair in the middle of the meeting hall and sat down, and after everyone saluted, he was not verbose, and said to himself:
"I have ordered Zhang Guangzhe, who successfully occupies and controls the area within a hundred miles of Putian Port, and asks him to immediately send all the transport fleet back to Shandong."
"The purpose is to immediately pick up the 90,000 orphan navy recruits who have been selected and go south to the mouth of the Pearl River."
"These orphan recruits are all qualified naval recruits who have been carefully selected from among the millions of orphans in Shandong and Shanxi who have been collected by the army."
"They will form the Royal Third Fleet of the Ming Empire: the South China Sea Fleet in the vast area of the Pearl River Estuary."
"In the future, their bases will be in Hong Kong, Macau, Zhuhai and Shenzhen for the time being."
In fact, this matter has been notified to the generals of the two fleets a long time ago, and even the 90,000 naval recruits, who are also the officers and men of the Royal East China Sea Fleet, are responsible for selecting and organizing training.
So, it's not surprising right now. Dream Island Library
"As soon as the recruits and officers of the South China Sea Fleet arrive, they will immediately begin to formally form the South China Sea Fleet of the Third Fleet of the Empire."
"In the future, the armament of warships and transport ships will be evenly distributed among your three major fleets, and there will be no competition."
"Li Chang! Wang Rong! ”
When Zhu Youxiao said this, he suddenly shouted at the two East China Sea Fleet generals sitting in front of him.
"Your Majesty!" ……
The two hurriedly got up, stood tall, and replied in a solemn voice.
"Order the two of you, from now on, to serve as the commander and chief of staff of the Ming Royal South China Sea Fleet respectively, and be fully responsible for the formation and training of the South China Sea Fleet!"
"Both of you are generals who won this competitive assessment, and you must not slack off in your future work."
"Obey the order!" ……
The two of them, who were overjoyed, immediately agreed in unison.
Although in the various East China Sea Fleet generals and military competitions held yesterday, after the two of them won, they knew that they were going to develop.
However, when this moment really came out of the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, the two of them were still extremely excited.
There is no way, to be able to lead a large fleet is really too imposing.
Moreover, the scale of the three Royal Navy fleets is so large, and there are more and more Leopard cruisers, and they are constantly being upgraded.
It is conceivable that after a month, Lushun Shipyard and Qingdao Shipyard will each produce twenty-four more and more awesome Leopard cruisers per month, how many should there be in a year?
Not to mention a year, even if it is three months later, the scale and combat effectiveness of the three major Royal Navy fleets will definitely not be comparable to the current scale.
At that time, the overwhelming large number of large warships, the formation of a fast fleet, crushing those enemy fleets, it is estimated that it will be easy, and they will be able to beat the enemy to the head casually.
At that time, it was the real enjoyment.
Seeing the incomparably envious looks of the people around them, Li Chang and Wang Rong immediately put away their joy, pretended to be serious, and tried to suppress the joy in their hearts.
There is no way, yesterday they agreed to find an opportunity to go to the "Yuelai Hotel" to entertain them, knowing that if they continue to be proud, it will not be as simple as a meal.
Maybe, these guys who are extremely red will be beaten up violently, not to mention, and the situation of inviting guests for three days in a row will happen nine times out of ten.
In the future, with the three major royal fleets stationed along the coast of the Ming Empire, this piece of sea territory will no longer be able to escape from the palm of the royal fleet.
His Majesty the Emperor said that in two months at most, he would lead the three major fleets of the empire to the islands of Oyuan, the Ryukyu Islands, and Luzon.
Since then, the Royal Navy has officially begun to move towards the sea, opening up territory for the Ming Empire.
After explaining the matter clearly, Zhu Youxiao announced the adjournment of the meeting.
At noon today, he will set off with 10 Leopard cruisers, and after he can return to the port of Qingdao, he will return to the capital by land.
This trip takes about four days.
I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, and I don't know if there is a familiar strangeness?
Everyone had already left, and Zhu Youxiao was sitting alone on the big wooden chair in the conference hall, thinking about it, and couldn't help but be a little stupid.
