"The minister is my emperor to raise the prestige of the country in the four seas, and the soldiers are in the east to congratulate the ......"

"My emperor Wen has become a martial artist, Ze has been in the East, and beyond the four seas, it has also become a king's land......"

"Your Majesty broke the west and captured the east, exterminated the sap thieves in Mishima (Mishima is another name for Japan), leveled the nest of the Japanese Kou, and Bu Weide in the Pacific Ocean, which can be called the first male lord of the ages!"

After eating breakfast, he arrived at the Huangji Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, Zhu Cihong heard the sincere evaluation of him from the important ministers of the two prefectures! Every word is insightful!

It seems that today's Ming Dynasty is indeed a Ming monarch, a loyal minister, a lord and a virtuous minister, a monarch with a united heart, and the situation of Zhongxing is not a fluke!

Zhu Cihong also smiled and couldn't close his mouth, and after sitting firmly on the throne, he smiled and said to a group of truth-telling virtuous ministers: "Don't stand still, all the secretaries sit...... Sit and talk about the Tao, sit and talk about the world! ”

"Thank you."

The ministers all sat down with smiles on their faces, they had all received the news of the victory in the naval battle of Kagoshima, and they were all old courtiers who had followed Emperor Zhu for many years, and they had all opened their eyes to the earth, knowing that the earth was round, and they also knew that there was a vast country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean comparable to the Shenzhou continent (Asia), called the New World of America...... It's eye-watering to watch.

And Dongying Japan is a springboard to enter the New World of America, and as for Xiyi, Spain has stolen the part of the American land that has belonged to China since ancient times, which is really hateful.

After the victory in the Battle of Kagoshima, Spain should be powerless to stop the eastward advance of the Celestial Empire, and Japan can only obediently serve as a springboard......

In addition, Luzon Island, which was stolen by Spain during the Wanli period, should be able to get it back this time!

The territory of the Ming Dynasty seems to be greatly expanded!

Seeing that the ministers were all overjoyed, Emperor Zhu also asked with a smile: "Do you all know about the victory in the naval battle of Kagoshima?" Let's talk about it, what do we do next? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the evil is all over! At present, although the fleet of the Western Invaders has been defeated miserably, there are still three or two thousand Saiyu sailors swimming ashore and have merged with the Japanese Shimazu clan. The Shimazu clan has been the leader of the Japanese for generations, and in the past the Korean War did a lot of evil, the first emperor of Shenzong wanted to send heavenly soldiers to smash his lair, but unfortunately there was no usable naval army in our dynasty at the beginning, so it was not possible. Now that my naval division has dominated the Pacific Ocean, and has already hit the door of the Japanese Shimazu, why don't you break into the door and wipe out the Shimazu clan in one go? ”

The first one to stand up and shout and kill was Shoufu Lu Zhenfei, he felt that Japan was far away, and it was not easy to go there, so it was better to do more things and destroy the Shimazu family.

"Your Majesty, now that the dispute between Tokugawa and Toyotomi has arisen again in Japan, Shimazu is the backbone of Toyotomi's side, so we don't need to pay for the army, as long as the foreign aid of the Western Capture is cut off, the Tokugawa Shogunate can naturally destroy Shimazu."

Opposing the destruction of Shimazu was Zheng Zhilong, who knew that Japan was a mud pit, and that there were many samurai who were not good at farming—of course, there was not so much land to plant. With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to bulldoze the castle of the Shimazu family and kill tens of thousands of people in the Satsuma Domain.

But it's too hard to rule Kyushu Island for a long time, and it's a loss!

"Your Majesty, now that the Tokugawa shogunate is bent on surrendering to the Celestial Empire," Zheng Zhilong added, "I can just sit back and watch it come to pass, and there is no need to expand the Japanese conquest." The forces of the imperial court should be turned southward, first, to rescue Siam; The second is to recover Luzon. ”

The relationship between the Zheng family and the Tokugawa shogunate was close, so maintaining the Tokugawa shogunate was in the best interest of the Zheng family. And another thing that is beneficial to the Zheng family is to open up the South Seas!

Nanyang has four major interests: spices, rice grains, timber, and trade. Among them, spices are unique to the Netherlands, the interests of rice and grain belong to Siam, Jinou, Jinghai and Annam, the profits of timber mainly belong to Siam and Jinou, and the profits of trade are divided between Britain, the Netherlands, Zheng, Portugal and Spain.

Zheng Zhilong feels that the current situation is very good, Da Ming, oh, that is, his family should occupy a little more...... At least eat the Spanish portion!

So he encouraged Emperor Zhu to march into Luzon, anyway, Luzon already has a "Success Bay", and it is not too difficult to take the entire Manila Bay further, right?

Zhu Cihong smiled and was noncommittal.

"Your Majesty," Wu Sanfu, the military advisor of the Generalissimo's Mansion, spoke, "Sichuan and Yunnan are still in the hands of the Liukou, and the people of Sichuan and Yunnan are still in dire straits, and they are looking forward to the king!" ”

What the? The people of Sichuan and Yunnan are in dire straits? Emperor Zhu said in his heart: Is this what the people of Sichuan and Yunnan said, or did you Wu Sanfu say it on their behalf? I'm not a dumb king, I must investigate clearly before making a decision.

"Your Majesty," said Li Ruolian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, "the minister thinks that the country is in great trouble, and it is always in the north not in the south, and not in the land but not in the sea...... The battle of the Eastern Crusade should be decided quickly, and the next step can be to capture Kagoshima Castle to deter the Japanese invaders, and then it is time to take advantage of the victory to collect troops and move to the Eastern Crusade! ”

Yes, Dodor is still waiting to die! He is going to hang him now, and it's not a long-term solution!

Zhu Cihong smiled, still noncommittal.

Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, still knows Zhu Cihong, and knows that the reason why he doesn't express his position is that he didn't hear what he wants.

And Emperor Zhu's mind is probably in the New World, right?

"Your Majesty," Qian Qianyi said, "I think that the New World of the East is the land of the Chosen King, and if our dynasty wants to dominate the four seas for thousands of generations, we should seize the territory of the New World as soon as possible...... And if you want to cross the ocean, you must use Japan as a springboard! ”

Okay! Zhu Cihong smiled, Old Man Qian has made great progress!

Qian Qianyi looked at Emperor Zhu and grinned, feeling that he had found the right route, so he said: "The old minister thinks that our dynasty should go all out to subdue Japan, make it go to the name of transgression, change the emperor to the king, obey the Celestial Empire, and abide by the courtesy!" ”

All at once? How to drum?

Zhu Cihong thought to himself: You can't ask too much of Old Man Qian, let's take a look at Dagong Luo!

Grand Duke Luo was the newly established secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in charge of exchanges with foreign countries and vassal states, including foreign trade.

"Your Majesty," said Grand Duke Luo, who also stood up to speak at this time, "I think that the victory in the naval battle of Kagoshima was not the end of the conquest of the Satsuma and the Spanish, but the beginning of a long war. How to deal with the situation after the great victory in Kagoshima must be considered in the long term...... The main point of consideration is whether the G-8 alliance needs to be maintained. How should relations with the Tokugawa shogunate be repositioned? Do you want to keep the two factions divided in Japan? ”

Zhu Cihong heard a suggestion that was more in line with his heart, so he coughed and began to speak: "Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers have been defeated, and the victory in Kagoshima Bay is certainly gratifying, but we must also guard against arrogance and rashness!"

Don't think that after the victory in Kagoshima, my Ming will be invincible in the world! The victory in the Battle of Kagoshima certainly showed the strength of our army and navy, but it was also the result of the joint efforts of the Ming, British, Dutch, French, and Portuguese countries.

Now you must not forget the merits of others, thinking that you can recover the land of the American capital by relying on the power of the Ming Dynasty! ”

What this means is to keep a low profile! When you don't win, you have to keep a low profile, and when you win, you have to keep a low profile!

Emperor Zhu paused: "First of all, don't consider expanding the war on Luzon Island now, just continue to control and build Chenggong Bay."

Because Luzon was the nerve of the Dutch East India Company, and at the same time, it was also a treasure that the British East India Company and the French wanted to touch. If we take Manila...... Suspense is about to turn into resentment!

Secondly, we don't think about capturing Kagoshima Castle now, we have to keep the Shimazu family now, and we have to make the Tokugawa family suffer a little before we can handle it. If we help the Tokugawa family fight all the battles, then how can we force them to be loyal vassals of the Ming Dynasty?

Thirdly, the rescue of Siam can begin, but there is no need for a large-scale rescue, because I still hope that King Nare will enter the court!

Finally, it's time for England, France, the Netherlands, Portugal to taste a little sweet! ”
