Chapter 175: Everyone must be a qualified eunuch

Taipei Wei is the headquarters of the Ming Emperor's army and the headquarters of the United Fleet.

Before Duke Wei chose this place on the map, Taipei was not very populated, and there were not even a few decent buildings. There are dozens of villages scattered here, ranging from Han immigrants who crossed the sea in the early days to indigenous people who have lived for hundreds of years. Occasionally, passing merchant ships would stop at the port of Keelung, north of Taipei, and beyond that, pirates and would-be pirates.

After the Combined Fleet was stationed in Keelung Harbor, the pirates and pirates disappeared again, and the local people were very supportive of the arrival of the Ming army, believing that the arrival of the Ming soldiers was a protection for them, and they could no longer be harassed and blackmailed by the Shengfan.

Indeed, with the successive encirclement and suppression of the wild people who refused to obey the king's transformation in various parts of Taiwan, except for the mountainous areas in the central and southern parts of the country with complex terrain, most areas of Taiwan have begun to stabilize, and have begun to establish a management system based on "rural guards".

Under the guidance of Gonggong Wei, the imperial army firmly safeguarded the interests of the local people, achieved strict military discipline, and unconditionally provided agricultural tools, seeds and other support to all "familiar fans" who were willing to become Han people and were willing to accept the protection and governance of the Ming Dynasty, which made the public security environment achieve good results in a short period of time. As a result, some officials and businessmen from Fujian who came to inspect this were incredulous.

The arrival of the imperial army also strengthened the exchange of resources with the local people, prospered the local commerce, and many places had begun to appear "large gatherings," and the navy ensured that mainland goods could be transported to Taiwan in a steady stream, and at the same time, they also ensured that Taiwan's agricultural and sideline products could be transported to the sea.

Of course, because the imperial army has only landed on the island for a few months, due to time constraints, the commercial situation on the island is still in rudiment, and many areas are still bartering, but it is certain that with the arrival of a large number of Jiangnan merchants and caravans engaged in maritime trade, the regularization and stabilization of commerce will inevitably appear.

Wei Gonggong chose Taipei as the headquarters of the pro-army capital, because he took a fancy to the geographical environment here, Taipei has Keelung Port, and it is a rare plain, which is very suitable for agricultural development. The climate is also much better than in the southern mountains, there are no plagues and malaria that people smell about, and with a little organization and guidance, this place can become fertile in a few years.

In accordance with the "three plus" instructions of "speeding up, strengthening, and intensifying" put forward in the speech of Wei Gonggong Chiayi, Jiangnan Town Guarding the Yamen and Admiralizing the Maritime Yamen increased their investment in Taiwan's resources, and within a few months, in addition to tens of thousands of Ming Imperial troops landing in Taiwan, thousands of craftsmen and more than 30,000 people were recruited to land on the island.

In addition, a large number of merchants and ordinary people crossed the sea from the Fujian Zhongzuo Institute, and they either participated in the construction of the Taipei Guard, or started their own adventurous careers, which made the Fujian Zhongzuo Institute extremely prosperous.

Everything in Taipei today is as vibrant as when the Jiangnan Maritime Special Economic Zone was first established.

Gonggong Wei knew very well that the Ming Emperor's pro-army commanded the envoys as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's formal governance of Taiwan, and it was also the beginning of China's inclusion of Taiwan in history. (Author's note: Historically, Taiwan was included in the Chinese territory in the Ming and Zheng periods, and it was discovered in the Soochow period.) )

A few days ago, Gonggong Wei sent Huang Chengxuan, the governor of Fujian, Gao Ju, the governor of Zhejiang, and the various ministries of the southern capital related matters related to the establishment of the pro-army capital command department, and also reported the matter to the imperial court.

In addition, what is surprising is that Gonggong Wei also sent invitations to all ministries of the imperial court, governors and governors of various provinces, and various supervisors, bureaus and departments of the inner court, hoping that the provinces could send people to participate in the official formation ceremony of the Ming Emperor's pro-army command envoys.

The establishment of a capital command envoy involves not only military politics, but also civil affairs, not only the outer court, but also the inner court, so there are thousands of things and a lot of preparations, so Wei Gonggong plans to formally establish the pro-army command envoy on October 10 of the 44th year of Wanli.

It is called "Double Ten Celebration".

This is not just a ceremony, but a declaration, a declaration of sovereignty!

Unlike the establishment of the Command and Envoy Division, which requires the attention of the whole country, the establishment of the military and political training camp for the eunuchs of the supervising army does not need to alarm all parties.

A large vacant lot by the Tamsui River in the northern part of Taipeiwei was selected as the site of the "Military and Political Training Camp for Eunuchs of the Supervision Army". After more than a month of construction, the barren Tamsui River has a new look. The rows of school buildings painted with white lime look so white and fresh in the smoke and rain.

On December 12, the "Military and Political Training Camp for Eunuchs in the Supervision Army" was officially opened, as the first principal, and also the eunuch of the Ming Emperor's pro-army, Gonggong Wei had to attend the opening ceremony. For this reason, he even postponed a meeting with the senior generals of the Combined Fleet about the "Tiger and Tiger" operation.

Unfortunately, it rained in the morning.

Gonggong Wei didn't care, laughed that this was a good sign, and then ordered someone to prepare horses to go to the training camp.

"Father-in-law has arrived!"

With a heart-filled shout, Gonggong Wei, who was surrounded by a group of civil and military personnel, turned over and jumped off his horse and came to the gate of the eunuch training camp of the prison army.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Wei Xuewen hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella to protect the thirteenth uncle from the rain, but Father-in-law Wei waved him to step aside.

The wind is strong and the rain is heavy, although it will get wet, but Wei Gonggong would rather let himself get drenched like this than need an oil-paper umbrella above his head, because the trainees of the training class he pinned his hopes on are waiting for him in the wind and rain.

To set an example in everything is what Father-in-law Wei has always asked of himself.

With the transmission of "father-in-law arrived", the 68 students of the first eunuch training camp of the prison army involuntarily stood up, and then their eyes converged in one place.

Grandpa Wei is here, Grandpa Wei is finally here!

The students looked excitedly and expectantly at Gonggong Wei, who was moving forward step by step in the wind and rain.

Finally, Father-in-law Wei came to the students, he stepped on the wooden platform that had been set up a long time ago, looking at the beardless faces in front of him, Father-in-law was sincerely proud and infinitely emotional.

Because, it is he who has today's Ming Imperial Army, today's eunuch training camp, and today's high-spirited eunuchs gathered on the treasure island of the motherland!

Father-in-law is undoubtedly the creator of all this!

However, he is also a leader, the core of this emerging group of eunuchs in front of him!

Proud!

Father-in-law Wei couldn't help but be proud, this eunuch training camp was the first regular military academy he created for the inner court.

In the future, there will be a large number of eunuchs who will not only be responsible for the supervision of the emperor's army in the future, but also the eunuchs of every army in the Ming Dynasty!

These eunuchs who have undergone formal military training will lead the inner court to the important task of the world!

They will be the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty to the outside world, and they will be the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty and the world competition!

And he, like a sower, buries the seed in the soil, and then cares for it, waiting for the moment when the buds will grow into towering trees.

Not far away, "Be a qualified eunuch, be an excellent eunuch, be a brave eunuch!" The slogan was hung high on the wooden frame, reminding every student in the training camp that they must be tested here and follow Gonggong Wei to make the cause of the inner court bigger and stronger!

In the corner of my father-in-law's eyes, I don't know if it's tears or rain.
