Zhu Cihong firmly believes that there is pressure to be motivated, and this is the same for both old ministers and young people.

Although Gao Hongtu is old, most of the people working under him are young and middle-aged.

Putting the burden on young people can help them improve their abilities.

Of course, Zhu Cihong is not just blindly making demands.

These people will be rewarded for completing the task well.

After Zhu Cihong finished explaining these things, he drove back to the palace, and there were still many notes waiting for him to review and deal with.

It's not good to be an emperor, there isn't much time to rest at all, even during the Chinese New Year.

After returning to the dormitory, Zhu Cihong began to review the recitals.

When he saw a note from Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian, his expression was stunned.

The Dutch attacked and harassed off the coast of Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong led his troops to the sea to attack.

The Ming army, or Zheng's sailors, broke the Dutch and sank three Dutch ships.

Of course, this is not the end of this recital, Zheng Zhilong uprooted several strongholds of the Dutch near Penghu in one go, so that the Dutch have no place to settle except Taiwan.

The whole report was written heartily, and Zhu Cihong felt a little enthusiastic.

But when he calmed down, he had a hint of doubt.

If he remembers correctly, in the original history, after the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, the Dutch were basically driven away from the coast of Fujian.

Under these circumstances, the Zheng family's control over the entire Fujian coast, including Penghu, can be described as very solid.

The Dutch also withdrew from this sea area with great interest and operated Taiwan with peace of mind. At this stage, Taiwan was equivalent to a trade transit point for the Dutch, and its importance was much higher than that of the coastal areas of Penghu and Fujian.

Zhu Cihong's crossing has brought earth-shaking changes to the general trend of history, but this is mainly concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River, and has little impact on the coastal areas of Fujian and even Penghu.

According to this logical analysis, the Dutch in this time and space should not take the initiative to harass the coastal areas of Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong's performance is suspected of fabricating facts.

Of course, it is difficult to determine the proportion of this fabrication.

Maybe Zheng Zhilong did have a war with a small group of Dutch pirates, or maybe it was all made up by Zheng Zhilong.

Either way, it's a crime of deception.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a very common phenomenon for military generals to exaggerate and fabricate military exploits, which accompanied the entire Chongzhen Dynasty.

But prevalence does not mean justification.

If this unhealthy trend is not properly suppressed and rectified, it will be like an abscess that stings all the time and may burst at any time.

It is obviously unrealistic to take Zheng Zhilong to kill chickens and monkeys, with Zheng Zhilong's personal ethics, if Zhu Cihong gives an order to reprimand, I am afraid that he will immediately raise the anti-flag.

Although he has accepted Zhao'an for many years, Zheng Zhilong is still a pirate at heart, and this will not change with the passage of time.

How to deal with this is a headache enough.

The Zheng family's sailors are indispensable to the current Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Cihong can't push Zheng Zhilong to the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty in any case, let alone let him be used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Although the Denglai Water Division has been established, the scale is still small and cannot be compared with the Zheng Family Water Division.

Zhu Cihong preliminarily estimated that it would take at least two or three years for the Denglai Sailor to reach the scale of the Zheng family's sailor.

During this period, Zhu Cihong may have to maintain peace with Zheng Zhilong.

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhenfei, the secretary of the military department, asks to see you!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the waiter recited aloud.

"Announce his audience."

Zhu Cihong put down the music in his hand and resumed his majestic sitting posture.

After Lu Zhenfei entered the hall to salute, Zhu Cihong gave him a seat.

"This soldier has entered the palace for the New Year, but there is something urgent?"

Zhu Cihong said word by word.

"Your Majesty, it's an urgent report from Sichuan!"

Lu Zhenfei's eyebrows were full of sadness.

When Zhu Cihong heard the word Sichuan, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly for a moment.

The situation in Sichuan today is too complicated.

Zhang Xianzhong led the Western Army to occupy the vicinity of Chengdu, and the rest of the country was divided between large and small Tusi and scattered small Ming troops.

The three forces come and go, today you take advantage of me, and tomorrow I will kick you behind your back.

In short, no party has the strength to monopolize Sichuan.

In other words, the prestige of the imperial court in Sichuan was almost nil, not much stronger than that of Fujian, where Zheng Zhilong was the head town.

At this time, there will be an urgent report from Sichuan?

"Go on."

"The person who wrote the emergency report was a staff officer named Zeng Ying."

Lu Zhenfei vibrated loudly.

If it is an indigenous emperor, of course, the name Zeng Ying will be very unfamiliar. But Zhu Cihong is the son of the plane, and in his previous life, he specialized in Ming history.

He is very aware of the resume of this Zeng Ying, who has repeatedly defeated Zhang Xianzhong and once recovered Chongqing. A three-legged situation was formed in which the northwest of Sichuan was controlled by the Western Army, the southern part of Sichuan was controlled by the Tusi, and the eastern part of Sichuan was controlled by the Ming Army.

In the Ming Dynasty, Chongqing was also a part of Sichuan, and its geographical location was extremely important.

Zeng Ying left a strong mark in the history of Chongqing, which is enough to prove that this person is outstanding.

Zhu Cihong had already given birth to a heart of love at this time.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong fell silent, Lu Zhenfei hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, although this Zeng Ying has overstepped the level of reporting, he is still very loyal to the imperial court. ”

It turned out that Lu Zhenfei was worried that Zhu Cihong thought that Zeng Ying's overstepping report was inappropriate.

Under normal circumstances, the report of the military headquarters should be reported level by level, and the general army should be summarized and handed over to the governor for issuance.

Theoretically, military generals below the rank of chief soldier have no right to directly issue a report.

But in this era of decay, all order has become chaotic.

The status of military attachés swelled rapidly, even surpassing civilian officials.

The general may have only a few thousand men at his command, and a general may have tens of thousands of soldiers.

In troubled times, the more soldiers and horses, the harder the waist pole.

This is the case with Zeng Ying.

Although he is only a general, he has more than 15,000 people under his command, and even Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, relies on him and regards him as his right-hand man.

"Well, I understand that."

Zhu Cihong paused for a moment and said, "What did Zeng Ying write in the urgent report?" ”

Since it is the Tang Newspaper of the Ministry of War, Lu Zhenfei, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, should naturally have read it in advance, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty.

"Your Majesty, it's about the thief. Zeng Ying said in the urgent report that the western thieves intended to capture Chongqing. ”

What Lu Zhenfei said is very similar to the original historical situation.

Chongqing has always been the key to the contention between the Ming army and the Western army, and after changing hands several times, no one can guarantee that Chongqing will always be under their control.

After Lu Zhenfei's explanation, Zhu Cihong probably understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Zeng Ying took advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's attack on southern Sichuan and took Chongqing.

And Zhang Xianzhong was furious when he learned of this change, gathered and counted the army, and was afraid that he would return to Chongqing when the weather was a little warmer.
