Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

After the New Year, the weather is a little warmer, and the snow begins to melt, and the water trickles down the eaves as if it were raining. Zhu Yijun liked this feeling, stretched his waist and stood up, and walked straight to the door.

The sun is very good, this kind of leisure time in the afternoon is also very comfortable, and Zhu Yijun's mood is also a lot better.

"Emperor, Grandpa Xu's secret fold!" Zhang Whale walked in front of Zhu Yijun with a copy of the recital, and said respectfully: "Eight hundred miles is urgent." ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned, what happened to Xu De, and it took eight hundred miles to expedite? Stretched out his hand to take the fold, the mud seal on it was very intact, obviously it had not been opened, Zhu Yijun reached out and tore open the envelope, and reached out to take out the fold inside.

On the note, Xu De described in detail the process of investigating the case between himself and Zhao Lian.

From interrogating Cui Fu to arresting the He family, to finding the Zhen family later, all the cases were written on it. Later, Xu De also elaborated on the predicament he encountered, as well as Dong Chengwu's worries.

After reading the fold, Zhu Yijun reached out and put the fold on the table, and reached out to rub his forehead.

"Li Dan!"

Zhu Yijun sighed and said, as a big country in the East, in the Age of Discovery, the figure on the sea was actually a pirate, I have to say that this is a kind of sadness! Among the many pirates who were rampant, Li Dan was definitely one of the future.

Before Li Dan, the two most successful people were Wang Zhi and Xu Hai.

Wang Zhi is known as the owner of the Wufeng ship, no matter which country's ships want to do business in the Ming Dynasty, then they must fly the flag of the Wufeng shipowner, and must pay protection fees on time in order to avoid being plundered.

At the time of Wang Zhi's death, Li Dan successfully rose to prominence, with the help of the Japanese pirate group, organized an armed fleet, and engaged in international trade between Japan, Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and ships operated by the Netherlands and Britain.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's unification of Japan is said to have been financed by Li Dan, and in addition to this, he also engaged in piracy and plunder, and was nicknamed "Captain China" by Westerners because of his strong maritime style, or Kapitan Li Dan.

The word "Captain" is the name given to the leader of the Han Chinese during the Spanish rule in Manila.

Li Dan also successfully enlightened future generations, and after his death, his righteous son rose strongly, this person is Zheng Zhilong, the famous Zheng Chenggong's Laozi. Li Dan's son, Li Guozhu, inherited his father's business and was also a famous maritime merchant at that time.

This Dong Chengwu is right, Li Dan is definitely a ruthless person, in fact, his relationship with the Daming local government is still good.

Because in the later Minghe peace talks, Li Dan played a very important role. The Dutch withdrew from the occupied Penghu and went to Taiwan instead, at that time the Ming did not recognize Taiwan as their own territory, and after going to Taiwan, the Dutch stayed for thirty-eight years.

It wasn't until thirty-eight years later that it was knocked down by Zheng Chenggong and became the territory of the Zheng family.

Thinking about all this, Zhu Yijun sighed and said to Zhang Whale: "Go and invite the Marquis of Dingbei to me!" ”

Of course, the Dingbei Marquis that Zhu Yijun said is Qi Jiguang, in the current Ming Dynasty, if anyone knows the most about the Japanese Kou, it is Qi Jiguang. At least Qi Jiguang understands their tactics and knows how to fight them.

Qi Jiguang has been busy with military reform these days, and there is no difficulty in recruiting soldiers in Beijing, there is enough money and food, and there are enough people.

Now the western battalion under the command of Qi Jiguang has begun to reorganize and train, and the three vehicle battalions, with a total strength of more than 100,000 people, have also begun to be equipped with various types of artillery. The sophisticated muskets built by the Armament Division are also all equipped, and Qi Jiguang is very confident that he can train elite soldiers.

Cavalry may not be as good as a Tartar, but a Gun Cavalry is definitely capable of being a man with a Tartar, especially when well armed with muskets.

After being summoned by the emperor, Qi Jiguang soon entered the palace, compared to Qi Jiguang, who died depressed in history, the current Qi Jiguang walked with a tiger, and the red cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, which was very imposing.

As the so-called people are in good spirits at happy events, Qi Jiguang in history was constantly belittled, attacked, and humiliated after Zhang Juzheng's death. As a person who has made great contributions to the country, it is strange not to be depressed.

In this life, his treatment is completely different, commanding the western camp of the capital, the official title of the commander, the crown prince Taibao, the title of the Northern Marquis, the close minister of the Son of Heaven, the military exploits, the absolute scenery is unlimited, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the Ming military.

Some people even speculated that once Qi Jiguang led people to level the grassland, that would be when he entered the Duke of the Kingdom.

Zhu Yijun is also very concerned about Qi Jiguang's body, and the hospital has given him various recuperations, so Zhu Yijun sent Qi Jiguang to send a personal doctor. This also ensures Qi Jiguang's health, and the whole person looks very energetic.

Seeing Qi Jiguang's state, Zhu Yijun's mood instantly improved.

I now have money, food and a strong army, although it is different from the strong army I want, but in this era, it is a strong army. In addition to a general like Qi Jiguang who can fight, what are you afraid of?

Zhu Yijun suddenly had a feeling of high spirits, which felt good!

"Ministers and relatives see Your Majesty!" After Qi Jiguang saw Zhu Yijun, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is exempt!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Zhang Whale and said, "Move a chair for Qi Aiqing!" After Qi Jiguang sat down, Zhu Yijun handed Xu De's secret report to him, and then said with a smile: "Aiqing take a look at this!" ”

After taking the secret fold, Qi Jiguang took a quick look, and then his expression became serious.

"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Qi Jiguang did not express his opinion, but turned his head to ask Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun smiled: "What does Aiqing think I should do?" ”

I have known this for many years, and I also gave Qi Jiguang the treatment he deserves, and Qi Jiguang can be regarded as knowing his temper, but Qi Jiguang's cautious energy just can't be changed, and he may have seen too many messy things in the first half of his life.

In fact, Qi Jiguang can be regarded as a first-hand witness to Wang Zhi's affairs, in addition to him, the estimation that he knows most about the events at that time is Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.

Although Xu Wenchang's spirit is much better now, Zhu Yijun still doesn't dare to stimulate him with the matter of the Japanese Kou, especially when it involves the Jiangsu and Zhejiang clans. It is difficult to say whether there were these people behind Hu Zongxian's death back then.

Qi Jiguang heard Zhu Yijun ask, and said in a deep voice: "The minister is a military general, and national affairs are not for the minister to ask. ”

"But the minister has a word to say, the western camp of the Beijing camp is His Majesty's army, it is the army of the Ming Dynasty, as long as His Majesty's sword is pointed, the minister will take them to kill the enemy for His Majesty, and those who block it are invincible!"

Qi Jiguang now has the confidence to say this, because the strength is enough, and he has the confidence.

Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang, a smile appeared on his face, Qi Jiguang didn't seem to say anything, but in fact he said everything. Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said: "The Zhen family's crime is extremely evil, and I am ready to send Xu De to the Zhen family in accordance with the Ming Law." ”

"Thoroughly investigate the affairs of large households in Fujian and Zhejiang, and anyone who is involved will be severely punished."

"Now let's talk about how to resist the arrival of the Japanese after doing this."

After hearing Zhu Yijun say this, he still looked at himself teasingly, Rao is Qi Jiguang was as thick as iron, and he still couldn't help but show embarrassment. However, this embarrassment was fleeting, and Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "The Ming Dynasty is not the same as the Jiajing period at this time. ”

"There are Ming monarchs and holy lords, there are good ministers and good generals, the situation in the southeast has not been corrupted, the guards have also been clearing pirates over the years, and the combat power is still existing, and it is impossible for the Japanese to disturb the southeast as they did in the Jiajing period."

"Once the Japanese invaders, the southeast should be able to resist, and the ministers can also lead people to clear it."

"With the current combat power of the Beijing camp, the Japanese are not afraid, and they can be launched with one drum."

Qi Jiguang's words are full of domineering, and now Qi Jiguang is indeed qualified to say this, what was the situation in the southeast to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and the entire southeast was eroded. The imperial court was short of money and food, the center Yan Song was in power, and the ministers were constantly fighting fiercely.

Now it's completely different, the southeast is stable, there are also soldiers who can fight, others don't say it, their own Zhejiang soldiers can be in the southeast, and many of their subordinates are also in the southeast, with them, the southeast will definitely not be erosive.

Even if the Japanese invaders, they also have the strength to fight, they want money and money, and they want food and grain.

Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang with a smile, with a bright smile on his face, he liked this energy, sooner or later, Daming would have the confidence to not put anyone in his eyes: "Okay, since Aiqing has said this, it couldn't be better." ”

"Speaking of which, Aiqing hasn't been back for many years, but do you want to go back and have a look?"

Zhu Yijun really wanted Qi Jiguang to go to Fujian, inspect it, and by the way, also deter the place. Since Xu De's side wants to move, it is naturally impossible to move only one Zhen family. With Qi Jiguang's current identity and prestige, he will definitely be able to deter the southeast.

At this time, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had only one Qi Jiguang under him, if there were a few generals like this, he would really beat whoever he wanted. Speaking of beating people, Song Yingchang's shipyard in Tianjin should also be open.

Let you scream for a while, and wait until my ship goes to sea, and kill you.

It doesn't matter if you are a Dutch, an Englishman, or a widow, whoever is not honest will be beaten.

As soon as Qi Jiguang heard Zhu Yijun's words, he was immediately moved, of course he knew what the emperor was doing to let him go back, but he still wanted to go back. Speaking of which, I haven't been back for many years, and no one wants to return home!

Although he is from Shandong, he has been in the southeast for more than ten years, and it is good to go and see his old subordinates.

"Thanksgiving!" Qi Jiguang hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister will leave tomorrow." ”

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Order 5,000 soldiers!" ”

For Qi Jiguang, 5,000 people are enough, the well-equipped elite soldiers in the Beijing camp, with Qi Jiguang under the command, the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 people will definitely make many people's eyes shine, Zhu Yijun has this confidence in Qi Jiguang.
