After Wang Hong recovered Tuen Mun Island, he did not destroy the facilities and firearms manufacturing base built by the Franc Robot on Tuen Mun Island, but directly established Tuen Mun as a base for the Ming Navy Division at the behest of Zhu Houzhao.

The Ming Dynasty stationed a hundred households in Tuen Mun, and the fourth-class sail battleship "Baoding" anchored here.

At the same time, the craftsmen who made firearms for the Franc machine were all rehired by the Ming government and continued to manufacture firearms for the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the occupation of Tuen Mun Island by the Francois can be regarded as a wedding dress for Da Mingbai, so that the Daming Sailor can easily add a sailor base at the mouth of the Pearl River.

Not only that, but Jin Yiwei has now been ordered to smoothly receive the envoy of the prince of Manraka, the prince of Bintang, Mu Hanmed, into Beijing, making it clear that the Ming Dynasty wants to interfere in the incident of Manraka being destroyed by the Franco.

And this time, the Ming Dynasty is going to take the initiative to interfere in the incident of the destruction of Manchuria, and take this opportunity to regain the Ming Dynasty's maritime control over the South Seas!

Since Zheng He went to the West, the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict maritime ban policy, and voluntarily gave up its control of shipping in the South Seas, and this is also the time when the civilian clique began to take power, it can be said that it was the stupid scholars who turned the Ming into a closed empire, and caused the Ming to lose the control of the sea routes from the South Seas to the Indian Ocean and even the Red Sea.

If this were not the case, Manraka would not have been easily destroyed by the Franc machine.

Of course, although the destruction of Manraka affected the interests of the Ming empire, it was not worthy of pity.

Because after the establishment of Manchuria, the Sultan of Bairimiah has been trying to get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not even choose the Confucian model of establishing a state, but Yihua his country, and even called himself a king but a sultan, and was more respectful to the Persians, which is also one of the reasons why the Ming merchants would help the Franc machine occupy Manchuria.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's decision to let the Ming Dynasty interfere in the destruction of Manchukuo this time was not only to regain control of the shipping in the South Seas, but also to re-establish the order of oriental civilization, and he wanted to transfer Confucian ideas from domestic sales to exports.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! The Buddha Lang Ji from the West is a group of robbers, they ignore the dignity of the Celestial Empire, only know how to burn, kill, loot, and slaughter countless of our people, and I implore His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be our master! ”

As soon as Hanmod saw Zhu Houzhao in the main hall at this time, he cried first, and cried word by word about the atrocities of Franc Ji in Manraka.

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew about the atrocities of the Franc Machine in Manraka through the Jinyi Guard system, so he was not very excited when he heard what the Frank Monk said at this time, but for the courtiers present, it was extremely shocking, because it was the first time they knew about the atrocities of the Western colonists.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Yu, the secretary of the military department who had entered the cabinet, couldn't help but say first: "Your Majesty! This Buddha is not a mustard country, but it has repeatedly challenged the majesty of my Celestial Empire, and now it is to destroy my Ming Dynasty, which can be described as the heart of a snake and scorpion, and not punishing it is not enough to show the majesty of my country! ”

"The minister also thinks that when the Buddha Lang Ji is punished, such a barbarian country has no etiquette and no strictness, only knows how to kill people and set fires, and it is not a tribute to the country of the Ming Dynasty, so it should not be respected! However, His Majesty intends to recruit his king's envoys as Ming officials, and the ministers think that it is really impossible. The envoys sent by him should also be imprisoned as hostages to force the Franc Ji Kingdom to return the Manchurian territory, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, should execute these Franc robbers on behalf of Manchuria! ”

Hong Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said at this time.

Zhu Houzhao can see that many of these scholars and doctors in the Ming Dynasty today are people with raised eyebrows, and they have no experience of a hundred years of humiliation, and they have a disdain for foreign countries, and they are disdainful in their bones!

So that now after hearing about the atrocities of the Franc machine in Manraka, what I think of is not how the Franc machine, as a Western country, can go on an expedition to Manraka and destroy the Manchuria, and thus have a sense of crisis and attach importance to the Franc machine, but the contempt for the plundering of the original capital of the Franc machine, and even directly clamoring for the punishment of the Franc machine.

"Report! Lin Tingxuan, the governor of Liangguang, sent an urgent report for 800 miles, and the deputy envoy of Guangdong has been ordered to lead the Liangguang Naval Division to recover Tuen Mun and capture 231 people of Franc Jiren! There were no casualties among the sailors! And it has been ordered to be included in the service of the Daming Sea Trade Company, and the captured warships and firearms and artillery have been shipped back to Beijing! ”

At this time, the battle report from Liangguang came, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered: "Living and paying officials, record this moment, the Ming Dynasty did not lose in the first battle against the Western colonizers, and it was a big victory!" Therefore, in the face of the aggression of Western civilization, the Ming Dynasty is not vulnerable! It's not even weak! ”

Zhu Houzhao was very happy, because although the military significance of the Battle of Tuen Mun was not great, its political significance and historical significance were actually great, and he had to record it, and he had to record it in a way that the central court attached great importance to, so as to tell the people who came after him that the Ming Dynasty did not lag behind the world!

However, at this time, the scholars and doctors obviously did not understand why His Majesty the Emperor attached so much importance to this victory, and in their opinion, the victory of Kefu Tuen Mun was not worth mentioning at all.

"Your Majesty, although the country of the Buddha can destroy Manchuria, but it is only the same as the pirate's ear, and the minister thinks that the victory of my Heavenly Empire's sailor is just like suppressing bandits, and it is not a big thing to remember!"

Bian Gong, the head of the Hanlin Academy, stood up and played at this time.

"I think that the country of Buddha Lang is just a barbarian, how can its military strength be compared with my Ming Dynasty, and it is not a big deal to recover Tuen Mun, why bother to play it in a hurry of eight hundred miles!"

Tang Ren also played because of this.

Zhu Houzhao knew that at this moment, these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty did not promote martial arts and had their own selfish intentions, but he had to admit that this was also related to the fact that these civil officials did not know what kind of situation they were facing, these civil officials were not time-travelers, and they had no memories of later generations, so they naturally did not know what kind of existence the Western colonists would be in the next few hundred years, so at this moment, these civil officials were confident, and they were still immersed in their dream of being the Heavenly Empire.

Therefore, when the victory of Kefu Tuen Mun reached their ears, these civil officials were not very happy and did not realize the significance of this.

Zhu Houzhao also felt that the civil officials and doctors of this era were very happy, and they were so happy that they didn't know how stupid they were, but felt that they were the most virtuous and contributing to the empire.

"Full of losses, humble benefits, although the Ming Dynasty is stronger than the four seas, dominating the universe, but in the end it is only a corner of the earth, although he Lang Ji country is just a small mustard country, and far away in the west of the ocean, but it can destroy a full of Rajia, and even invade my Ming, let me ask, how can such a barbarian be underestimated? Can I have this ability? ”

Zhu Houzhao has a feeling that he is a clown who admires foreign flattery and that these civil officials in front of him are real patriots at this moment, because it has always been his ambition to destroy the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and these civil officials happen to be the ambition of the Ming Dynasty to destroy the prestige of the Buddha Lang Machine.

Although, Zhu Houzhao's purpose is just to remind the people of this era that Western colonizers are not foreign forces that can be taken lightly.

"Your Majesty! Da Ming Yuan wading across the ocean can not only destroy a country, when the three treasures of the father-in-law went to the Western Ocean seven times, the coastal chaos of the Ping does not know how many! Now the Daming Zhijiang Shipyard has been rebuilt, and there are countless skilled shipwrights, which is nothing more than the next Western Ocean! ”

At this time, Ye Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and replied very uninterestingly.

"Moreover, I went to the West to follow the path of benevolence and morality, and all countries admired it! And now these Franco-machine people are just robber ears, slaughtering and looting, destroying the government of other countries, hateful, and barbaric! How can it be compared with the benevolent and righteous teacher of my heavenly kingdom! ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while, he found that he could not use any arguments to dispel the cultural self-confidence and national self-confidence of the Ming Dynasty people in this era, and even if he threw out the most powerful maritime achievements in the West, these scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty could also refute the brilliant achievements of this dynasty.

"Although Da Ming can do this, but if it is replaced by Da Yuan, can it be done, if in the future, a certain clan that knows fishing, hunting, riding and shooting will take over the world, can they sail in the four seas like Da Ming? At that time, if the Francophone has occupied the entire land through the superiority of the sea, will I be its opponent? ”

Zhu Houzhao asked, he couldn't directly say that if the Manchu Qing destroyed the Ming Dynasty in the future, he only made an analogy.

"Your Majesty, don't be so worried, how could my Ming Dynasty die at the hands of a foreign race! The remnant yuan is weak, and he has been subordinated to my Ming! The surrounding countries dare not have a heart of disobedience! ”

Because Jiao Fang and Xu Jin have already made a decision, it is Wang Hua who takes over as the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Hua saw that Zhu Houzhao was involved in the disaster of foreign races, and was deeply afraid that His Majesty would raise troops in Mobei again, so he hurriedly took over the words, thinking about dispelling Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

Zhu Houzhao also understood Wang Hua's purpose in saying this, but he said that these were not to personally conquer Mobei and kill all the alien races, which would be unrealistic and also consume national strength, and Zhu Houzhao would not rise up if it was not beneficial, but what he said today was actually to use the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history to give some alarm to the meat eaters of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao said again: "If the world is in the middle of the people's livelihood, there are traitors rebelling, killing officials and gentry and plundering people's property, and there are foreign races rising outside, and Confucianism and Hanchen help open the rule of the king's road, and even claim to be the mandate of heaven. ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's words came out, the ministers were all shocked, they didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to suddenly say such an assumption, but they couldn't help but answer His Majesty's question, and instinctively followed suit, if it really came to that point, how to choose.

"Your Majesty! Ming Jun Ming Ming Ministers, how can they die, even if they die in the country, the ministers dare to say bluntly, only those who respect the doctors can get the mandate of heaven, because the herdsmen are scholars, and those who win the hearts of the people get the mandate of heaven, and if you want to win the hearts of the people, you must first get the hearts of the scholars! ”

At this time, Bian Gong, a student in charge of the Hanlin Academy, stood up bravely and answered Zhu Houzhao's question truthfully, and the implication was that he was also exhorting Emperor Zhu Houzhao to let the Ming Dynasty not die and respect the gentry.
