At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also spread the intention to set up naval academies in Denglai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, just like in Annan. In addition, a naval academy will also be established in Beijing, where he will personally serve as a sacrificial drinker and will give lectures. After graduation, he can become a middle and senior naval officer.

This sacrificial wine, that is, the principal, is not just a name.

For the time being, although Emperor Chongzhen may not know more about the specific tactical details than those who are mixed with the sea, but it is only this era, in terms of the future development trend of the navy, the future strategic vision, and the changes in the world pattern, etc., he believes that it is more than enough to teach them in these aspects.

But when the decree was given, the whole army was shaken. This whole army is not just a happy navy. Because this decree means so much to them.

Originally, it was only a subsidiary branch of the army, and it had no status at all. However, not to mention that it is now a separate branch of the army on a par with the army, and soon the admiral may become the protégé of the Son of Heaven. It can even be said that compared with the protégé of the Son of Heaven who is hand-picked by the emperor and called the protégé of the Son of Heaven, who graduated from the Beijing Normal Navy Senior Academy, it is the protégé of the Son of Heaven who is taught by the emperor!

The Army, on its part, was equally excited. Because the navy can set up naval academies at all levels, what about the army, the army should also be able to, right? You can also become a protégé of the Son of Heaven, right?

At this point, without waiting for other places to react, the army generals on Annan's side asked Lu Xiangsheng to help him play the emperor, or simply played the emperor himself, saying that they all felt that their abilities were low, and they were afraid that they would live up to the emperor's trust in the future. And the emperor's command of the army over the years is well known, so he strongly asks the emperor to teach them too.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen actually expected it, and immediately with a stroke of the pen, he followed another holy decree, and like the navy, set up army academies in the whole country, and set up army senior academies in Beijing, and he served as the sacrificial wine.

His two wills can be said to be linked one after the other.

Now the focus of the Ming Dynasty has begun to expand to the sea, but the scale of the navy is far from meeting the requirements, and there is a shortage of talents. The most powerful in today's Ming Navy is the one transformed from Zheng Zhilong's department; However, the military discipline of this navy is not very good, and they used to be pirates. For the imperial court, it must be dissatisfied.

Therefore, after it was revealed that some people in the navy did not change their old habits and even dared to steal the royal gifts, it became even more urgent for naval talents who were not born as pirates. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen proposed to set up a naval academy to cultivate the court's own talents, which is reasonable.

However, at this time, the temptation of Emperor Chongzhen, another protégé of the Son of Heaven, made all the troops explode. The Navy rejoices, and the Army demands it strongly, and for good reason.

The emperor is too powerful in war, and the emperor will teach them, so that they can better serve the country loyally!

Of course, when civil officials see that the status of military generals seems to be jumping up, there must be people who are unhappy. Emperor Chongzhen was far away from Annan, and he could learn through the Class A eavesdropping seed on Xue Guoguan's body that the cabinet had received a lot of complaints that Wufu would bring disaster to the country and the people and would become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

However, the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty heard Emperor Chongzhen talk about the world situation, and knew that the emperor was determined to occupy the territory full of oil for future generations. Therefore, Xue Guoguan and others are all pressing those who play the chapter.

Of course, one of the most important reasons why they did this was that the emperor's prestige was too high, so that they couldn't afford to resist at all. Emperor Chongzhen used his experience over the years to tell them that only by following the emperor is the way out.

…………

In Manila, Luzon, at the gate of the Spanish Governor's Palace, Governor Diego opened his arms and smiled on his face and said loudly to the group of people in front of him: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to Manila!" ”

The people opposite him, all Europeans, were the first one, and they also smiled and said, "I didn't expect us to have a day together!" My name is West, and I have come to the aid of His Excellency the Governor. When His Excellency the Governor has finished arranging the things at hand, he will come in person. ”

After finishing speaking, the two sides hugged each other, sticking to their faces, and then the two big men also entered the governor's palace hand in hand. If you don't know, you think they have a good relationship!

In fact, they are all opposites. Not to mention that the Dutch are now also rebelling against Spanish rule at home. Even in the Far East, the Dutch were aggressive, seizing Taiwan from the Spaniards and squeezing out Spain and Portugal to monopolize trade with the Japanese.

It can be said that in terms of the power of the Far East, the Dutch are definitely the first today. This was made possible by the current governor of the Dutch, Anthony van Diemen. In the original history, he died of illness in the eighteenth year of Chongzhen. However, on this plane, the wings of Emperor Chongzhen have changed slightly, and Anthony did not die of illness, and he is still alive and well.

This Anthony had been an admiral before he became governor of Batavia, and he knew the Far East very well. Under his leadership, the Dutch rose strongly, not only suppressing the Spaniards, but also beating the Portuguese into dogs, and the most important Strait of Malacca, also under his command, was taken by Yu Chongzhen in the fourteenth year.

Last year, when Anthony's subordinates who fled back from our country heard that the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom were fighting and defeating the Japanese Kingdom, he felt a little bad. It's just that he didn't expect that before he could increase his troops in Taiwan, news came that the Dutch in Taiwan were completely wiped out by the Ming army.

After carefully learning about the fall of the Taiwanese stronghold, Anthony became wary of the Ming people in Batavia. He was worried that if the Ming army refused to give up and continued to attack Batavia, would these Ming people become the internal response of the Ming army, so that Batavia would be captured by the Ming army like Taiwan?

However, the construction of Batavia was inseparable from the industrious and hard-working Ming people, so Anthony was only secretly vigilant and did not take any action.

Then, he received a request for help from his subordinates on Annan's side, explaining that the emperor of the country had personally conquered the army, and all the forces on Annan's side had united to prepare to fight against the Ming State, hoping that Batavia would send people to support.

At this time, to be honest, Anthony was a little hesitant.

He didn't want to fight with the huge Ming Empire, because the previous facts had proved that even when the Ming Empire was weak, there were times of rebellion and rebellion everywhere, and the local armies of the Ming Empire had the ability to defeat the fleets he had sent.

Although the fleet he sent before was not much, even in the naval battle of Liaoluo Bay with the Ming army, he did not use all the forces of the Netherlands in the Far East, but the result of the defeat made him see that the Ming Empire was definitely not easy to mess with, and it was completely different from the colonial natives he had encountered before.

Therefore, Anthony was thinking that the Japanese side was at a loss on his side, and the Taiwan side was suffering a big loss, or he would just forget it, first stabilize Batavia and manage the South Seas well.

However, the imperial drive of the Ming Emperor went to Annam in person. From here, he sniffed out the ambition of the Ming Emperor and felt that the Ming Kingdom seemed to have shifted its center of gravity to the south. Then even if he doesn't want to offend the Ming Empire, will the Ming Empire still find trouble for himself when he goes back?

He thought about this question for a few days and finally made a decision. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is definitely an ambitious person, and he can't let his ambitions grow any bigger. Otherwise, it is likely that they will try to annex Batavia, as the Javanese natives did before.

Although the two sieges of Batavia by the native Javanese were defeated relatively easily. However, for the huge Ming Empire, Anthony really didn't have that confidence.

Therefore, he sent the troops that he could use, even about 1,000 people, including the Japanese mercenaries, to reinforce Annan and resist the ambitions of the Ming Emperor together with the forces on Annan's side.

However, before they arrived, they heard the news of the annihilation of Annam's army, and the fleet was so frightened that it hurried back.

Before the Spaniards sent people to Batavia, Anthony had been worried about the Ming Empire. He adjusted his strategy, no longer being strong against the natives of the Far East, and at the same time, he also began to alienate and manipulate the Ming people, and deliberately created contradictions between the natives and the Ming people.

His plan was that in the future, if the Ming Emperor really wanted to send troops to attack the Dutch sphere of influence, he would be able to unite the natives who were at odds with the Ming people and fight against the Ming Empire together.

As a result, Anthony did not expect that he did not wait for the attack of the Ming Empire, but waited for the Spaniards to ask for help.

If this were for the ordinary Dutch, it would be nice to see the ruler riding on their head being attacked by the Ming army, anyway, for them, it was a good thing for dogs to eat dogs, and they just happened to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

However, Anthony's vision was far from being so short-sighted, and he was even more shocked that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom had really sent troops to Nanyang.

Although the cause was that the Spaniards were looking for their own death, they did not know that the Ming Emperor was different from before, slaughtering the Ming people in Luzon and giving the Ming Emperor an excuse to send troops.

For the Spaniards in Luzon, Anthony knew in his heart that there were a few pounds and a few taels, and if the Spaniards dared to go out of Manila, he believed that he could beat them down. Now that the Ming army is going to attack in a big way, I'm afraid that it will be useless for the Spaniards to hide in Manila.

And once Luzon is captured by the Ming army, it is equivalent to the Ming Empire directly extending its hand to the South Seas. In fact, after the Ming Empire captured Annam, he already had this worry.

When the Spanish envoy Philot also told the matter of the collusion between Portugal and the Ming Kingdom, Antony did not say a word, did not even mention the conditions, and immediately agreed to form an alliance with the Spaniards to fight against the Ming army.

In this way, there was a scene in front of the Governor's Palace in Manila that I had never expected before.
