896 Getting the Americas
Hearing this, Anders was also a little confused, and immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
The other Ming army officers and soldiers present were no exception, and they were all very concerned about the news of the motherland.
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he smiled and said, "Everything is fine, it's just that the army is on an expedition to the Americas, and it must be ordered by His Majesty himself......"
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was shocked, and immediately became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Didn't you say everything was okay? ”
If Emperor Chongzhen has any accidents, then the national policy of the Ming Dynasty or other things are likely to change drastically. The most important thing is that since King Qin began to feel the immensity of the emperor, he would rather have other major things happen in the country, such as another thief, and he definitely does not want Emperor Chongzhen to have an accident.
Hearing his words, seeing his panic, and the panic of other soldiers, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" My lord listened to the general, it was a good thing, a good thing! ”
He was afraid that he would be interrupted by the fuss before he could speak, so he explained it in advance.
When Sun Chuanting heard him say this, he finally regained his composure as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”
Having said that, but he was still a little curious, what was the good thing that made the emperor delay for at least two years and did not send reinforcements?
Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to whet people's appetites, and hurriedly said to them: "Your Majesty received news soon after your expedition to the Americas, the Mughal Empire sent troops to invade our Dongwu border, so he led 20,000 cavalry troops from the Tianshan Mountains to personally conquer the Mughal Empire. ”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor was driving in person, and he was not in Beijing, so it's no wonder.
As soon as the mood was relaxed, the people around him laughed one after another.
"It turns out that the emperor is on the expedition again, it's okay!"
"I don't know which small country in the corner is still going to be conquered by the emperor! If the Governor is here, he will be able to share the emperor's worries! ”
"It's not, that kind of small feudal country, the governor can be destroyed casually!"
“……”
When these people spoke, they were obviously patting Sun Chuanting's ass.
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he coughed and said, "You wait for this official to shut up!" ”
The horse's fart slapped on the horse's feet, and the guards didn't care, and anyway, they didn't hear that the governor was really angry.
After training his subordinates, Sun Chuanting asked Zheng Zhilong with concern: "Hengjiu, what about Jiutai?" How are they? ”
Hengjiu is Hong Chengchou's number, and Jiutai is Lu Xiangsheng's number.
In today's Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting can look down on others, but he knows the ability of these two, and he is not arrogant enough that he can suppress these two.
Therefore, in his mind, if both of them are still there, it seems that there is no need for the emperor to drive the expedition in person, right?
Zheng Zhilong heard these guards say that before, and he understood what was going on. At this time, when he heard Sun Chuanting's question, he replied with a smile: "Lord Hong is the governor of Tianshan, and Lord Lu is responsible for the reorganization of the troops of the various guards, and they are all fine. But the most important thing is not because the two adults have something to do, but because the Mughal Empire is too far away and ......"
Speaking of this, he looked at the guards before he said: "The Mughal Empire was founded by the descendants of the Mongols, occupied the country of Buddhism, and the territory was huge, and it did not belong to the territory of the former Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Mughal Empire had enough soldiers and food to expand its territory, which was a hegemon in South Asia. ”
Hearing this, a kind of guard couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
Originally, they thought that the Mughal Empire, which they had never heard of, must be some kind of small vassal state in the corners, and the Ming Dynasty was so powerful that it could be destroyed at will. It was only then that I realized that the Mughal Empire was such a large and powerful country.
"We build road infrastructure everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty is getting better day by day." Zheng Zhilong continued to introduce, "In order to conquer the Mughal Empire without affecting the country, the emperor decided to take the expedition in person, and in the end, the Mughal Empire was destroyed without spending much money on domestic food!" ”
"Your Majesty's heroism is still the same as always!" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but clasp his hands into fists and salute in the direction of Jingshi, and said with emotion.
Although Sun Chuanting himself feels that he is also very good at fighting, he still has this self-knowledge to be like the emperor.
Zheng Zhilong smiled when he heard this, and continued to introduce: "Subsequently, Your Majesty divided the three vassal kings ...... where?"
After introducing it for a while, he suddenly remembered, so he turned around and looked at it, and then pointed to the fleet far away and said, "In addition, there are three other vassal kings who have also come to the Americas. Over there, they brought quite a few of their subjects over. ”
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed. The vassal kings have all come, and the matter of the imperial court's management of the Americas is absolutely certain, and there is no possibility of being abandoned!
Remembering that in the past few years, I have not seen the arrival of reinforcements, to be honest, sometimes, I really have to be abandoned by the change of the imperial court's national policy.
They were sighing, but they didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to break the news again: "In addition, Yan Shenggong also came with his people, saying that he wanted to educate the Indians in the Americas......"
"What?" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly confirmed, "You said that Yan Shenggong would actually bring his clansmen to this America to educate those natives?" Could it be ...... Could it be that the new generation of Yan Shenggong is a young descendant? ”
Only young people can be hot-blooded and impulsive, and there is a slight possibility of coming. If it was the previous Yan Shenggong, he couldn't believe it.
"It's not!" Zheng Zhilong shook his head when he heard this and said, "Yan Shenggong has not been replaced. ”
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting immediately shook his head and said, "This is impossible!" ”
Seeing him so sure, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but smile, looked at those guards, then stepped forward and said in a low voice: "It is estimated that the last general is that the Holy Father of Yan was driven over by His Majesty. Today's Ming Dynasty has no hereditary titles, and Yan Shenggong is certainly no exception. However, Confucius and Mencius are also learned people who continue to carry forward in the Ming Royal Academy! ”
Zheng Zhilong is a military general who was born as a pirate, and he doesn't have a good impression of Yan Shenggong and the like. And Sun Chuanting has acted all his life, and he is by no means the kind of pedantic person, so after hearing Zheng Zhilong's speculation, he nodded slightly, indicating that he knew. Other than that, there is no superfluous expression.
But this kind of thing, you can know, but it's hard to say. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong spoke in a low voice and explained to Sun Chuanting.
The guards didn't dare to crane their necks to listen, but they were really curious. For them, it was too surprising that the big head soldiers went on an expedition to the Americas, and now even the Holy Father of Yan had to come to the Americas.
Zheng Zhilong looked at them, and said with a smile: "When Your Majesty destroyed the Mughal Empire, he issued a new will, which is a grace to the Ming soldiers who are on an expedition to other lands. The number of people in this expedition was so large that many of them came for this grace. ”
Hearing this, all the guards couldn't help but be overjoyed. To be able to make people soldiers and to be able to run so far is definitely a great grace!
As a result, these people have all left behind what the Holy Father is not a Holy Father. One by one, they showed a longing mood, and they wanted to know what kind of grace it was.
Even Sun Chuanting was a little curious, so he didn't interrupt, just listened from the side.
Anders had been listening, and because of the language, he was slow to react, and the news he heard was so shocking that he hadn't come back to his senses until now.
Sun Chuanting didn't have any idea of the Mughal Empire, but Anders did!
They came from Portugal to the South Seas, all the way along the coast, of course, knowing the Mughal Empire and understanding how powerful the Mughal Empire really was. Needless to say, those who landed in Bengal and wanted to colonize Bengal turned out to be beaten away by the second prince of the Mughal Empire.
Such a huge empire was destroyed by the Ming Emperor who only led 20,000 cavalry. How powerful does this have to be to have this ability?
I don't know how long it took, but after finally coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but finally exclaim: "Why are you Emperor Ming so powerful?" ”
Those guards were listening happily, and suddenly they heard him say this, and they couldn't help but despise him: You know?
………………
On the American side, with the arrival of the second batch of American Expeditionary Force led by Zheng Zhilong, the First World War was decided, and all the fleets in the Americas that were assembled by Spain were destroyed, including their governors, were captured. It can be said that from now on, Daming is the overlord of the Americas!
The remainder was, of course, a conquest of the remnants of Spain throughout the Americas. With the addition of a new force, and the Indians to drive, it was only a matter of time before the whole of America was occupied.
For these things, Emperor Chongzhen can know clearly through the Grade A eavesdropping seeds on Zheng Zhilong and Sun Chuanting. In other words, he has taken care of the Americas.
In the future, what the Americas will do is to appoint a governor of the direct jurisdiction, and then divide a few more vassal kings to pass, and that's basically it. However, these things are still early, so let's leave them alone.
For the first time of the ironclad battleship, Emperor Chongzhen was also relatively satisfied. After that big battle, although the four ironclad battleships were damaged, as long as they were repaired, they would not be in serious trouble. It will be usable until the worn parts are replaced.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's attention turned to the shipyard on Dongwu's side again. Compared to the Tianjin shipyard, the foundation is too poor. It will take some time to build the first Steam Ironclad battleship.
Without a strong navy, the Persian Gulf side was guarded by British and Dutch fleets, and it was difficult to attack.
