Amakusa Shiro has basically gained a foothold after occupying the two cities of Tomioka and Shimahara, and it is impossible for the Tokugawa shogunate to exterminate it in a short time, Zhu Cijiong decided to let them consume it first, and the Ming Dynasty was slowly consumed by the peasant rebel army in history.

Of course, the rebel forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Dynasty made a lot of trouble in Liaodong, which accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and now Dongying still lacks such a force, which is naturally difficult for Zhu Cijiong, and it is not very difficult for him to form a Tagawa shogunate to play the role of the Houjin.

However, he really doesn't know how the shogunate came from, but fortunately, Zheng Zhilong is in Chichi, this product started in Dongying, and he should be no stranger to these, so Zhu Cijiong immediately summoned Zheng Zhilong to come to the audience.

Zheng Zhilong actually wanted to go back to Jinling for a long time, but the Netherlands and Spain had not yet reacted, and he, the person in charge of the negotiation, naturally couldn't slip away.

Speaking of which, this overseer is not a difficult thing for him, he has built many strongholds and cities when he first ran from Dongying to Dongfan, he is very familiar with ports, warehouses, military camps, restaurants, inns, entertainment facilities, and what shipyards for repairing warships, factories for casting cannons and shells, etc., all of which are in charge of professionals from the Ministry of Industry, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

It's just that this Nandaying Sailor Base is really too big, and according to the scale of this city wall, I am afraid it can accommodate nearly two million people, which is bigger than Jinling City! Even Zheng Zhilong, a person who is accustomed to seeing the world, was shocked by this scale, he has traveled all over Southeast Asia, and he has never seen such a huge city in other places, I am afraid that the Dongdaying next to the capital can compare with this.

The emperor is bold, don't look at his age, everything he does is magnificent, like the big war in Liaodong, like the military factory in the capital, as well as the Rixinglong business, as well as the Ming Dynasty Western trade, one by one, it is all scared to death!

Zheng Zhilong is very glad that he followed the right person, such an emperor, it is difficult to find a few in all dynasties, and he is definitely a famous Ming Jun through the ages! Working under this kind of Mingjun, he feels very energetic, so although the affairs of Nandaying are cumbersome, he is not too troublesome at all, and he inspects various construction sites all day long with the respect of the prince, and he is very busy.

The emperor suddenly summoned him, he thought that the Netherlands or Spain had a letter, so he hurriedly ran over, but it turned out that this was not the case at all, and after a while, Zhu Cijiong asked directly: "How did the shogunate general over there come from Dongying?" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, his heart suddenly became excited, Zhu Cijiong had told his youngest son Tagawa Nanazaemon that he would give the entire shogun to play with him, but he didn't expect it to start so soon, he thought about it for a while, and replied concisely: "If you go back to the emperor, this shogunate general is actually the puppet emperor of Dongying, as long as you become the strongest daimyo of Dongying, you can ask the emperor to make him the general of Zhengyi, and then you can form the shogunate." ”

It's lightweight, is it so easy to become the most powerful daimyo? Also, how did this name come about? Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "What's the matter with the Daimyo?"

How can you become a daimyo? ”

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "This, the daimyo is actually the local princes, if it is in the Dongying Warring States Period, as long as you are strong, grab a piece of territory."

It's a daimyō, but now the Tokugawa shogun's power is too strong, and the places don't dare to mess around, so it's a bit difficult to make a daimyo out. ”

Zhu Cijiong said proudly: "Don't worry about this, the power of the Tokugawa shogunate will soon weaken." I tried my best to train a peasant rebel army for him, and I don't believe that I can't kill him! ”

This is a secret, Zhu Cijiong naturally can't spread it everywhere, Zheng Zhilong is still in the dark, he dared to ask: "Dare to ask the emperor what is going on with this peasant rebel army."

？ ”

Zhu Cijiong said with a smile: "Aren't the Catholics on the side of Feiqian Kingdom rebelling, I saw that they lacked weapons and ammunition, so they seized them from the Dutch and the pirate Liu Xiang this time."

Muskets and birds all sent him over, and also sent him 300 Dutch artillery, now they made a lot of trouble, forced the Tokugawa shogunate had to send heavy troops to suppress, now Shimabara Castle has gathered 120,000 shogunate troops, how much strength does the Tokugawa shogunate still have? ”

Zheng Zhilong immediately said excitedly: "Great, as long as he consumes his 120,000 army, the Tokugawa Shogunate will probably not be able to suppress the local daimyo, and Dongying will definitely return when the time comes."

to the Warring States period. ”

Zhu Cijiong was so proud in his heart, of course, they were terminally ill, how could Da Ming take advantage of it, but there was no need to tell Zheng Zhilong about this, he continued to ask: "I heard that your father-in-law, Emperor Tian Chuan Yu, is still a vassal soldier, what kind of official is that?" ”

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly explained: "That is, the retainer of the Matsuura clan, the daimyo in the northwest of Hizen Province, who is in charge of weapons, and there are not many big officials. ”

Whether the official is big or not is not the point, Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "Can a retainer be a big name?" ”

Coming, coming, Zheng Zhilong said excitedly: "As long as the retainer is strong enough, he can become a big name in turn." ”

Sure enough, Zhu Cijiong said directly: "That's okay, how many people do you need to kill that Matsuura clan?" By the way, does your father-in-law have a son? ”

Zheng Zhilong was so excited that he hurriedly replied: "My father-in-law has no son, and the youngest son, Tagawa Nanazaemon, is going to inherit his position in the past, as for killing the Matsuura clan."

10,000 horses are enough. ”

But this emperor is ruthless enough, fortunately his father-in-law has no son, otherwise his brother-in-law will probably be clicked by the emperor.

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while, and then continued to ask: "How many Dongying people do Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu and Gan Hui have?" ”

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being a stupid pig, those were all his own subordinates, why didn't he think of this, there were a lot of Dongying people over there, they hurriedly replied: "

The three of them had about 20,000 Dongying people under their command. ”

20,000 people are enough, but there is still a question, Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "Which of the three of them can speak Dongying?" ”

Zheng Zhilong replied without thinking: "What Hong Xu and Gan Hui said is okay. ”

This is it, Zhu Cijiong immediately clapped his hand and said: "Then let them change the name of Dongying, and immediately lead 20,000 Dongying people to Jilong Island to practice, and when the time comes, go to Dongying and help first."

Your father-in-law's whole name is deserved. ”

Zheng Zhilong naturally responded happily, now it's okay, his eldest son will be the king of Zhennan of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the younger son will be the shogunate general of Dongying in the future, and the old Zheng family is simply purple smoke from the ancestral tomb!

Zhu Cijiong was still busy at this time, and he didn't bother to talk to him, so he sent him away directly, the New Year is coming, and he is going back to Beijing, and the things here have not been arranged yet.

The forts and forts in Xiamen, Quanzhou, Penghu, Chichi, and Jiulong have been completed, and the recruits from Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces have almost been sent over, but the generals of this town have not yet been decided.

Zhu Cijiong thought about it, the Zheng family is now huge enough, and they can't be allowed to swell anymore, although Zheng Chenggong is a famous patriotic general, but when a person's power reaches a certain level, even if he has no ideas, his relatives and friends will also have ideas, in order to avoid a big tail, Zhu Cijiong decided to start cultivating Daming's own sailor generals.

Like the 300,000 recruits this time, it is necessary to promote six general soldiers, and the Zheng generals already have five general soldiers and one admiral, so it is naturally not suitable for further promotion.

Zhu Cijiong called Cao Huachun in and ordered: "

Feng Gao Yingyue was the commander-in-chief of the Central Army in the southeast defense line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Chichi Castle and Geranza Castle and nearby forts;

Feng Zhang Yongchan was the chief soldier of the left army of the southeast defense line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Xiamen Castle and nearby forts;

Feng Wang Shangzhong was the commander-in-chief of the right army of the southeast defense line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Penghu Castle and nearby forts;

Feng Wu Zhenyuan was the commander-in-chief of the front army of the southeast defense line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Kowloon Castle and nearby forts;

Feng Chen Mengzhu was the commander-in-chief of the rear army of the southeast defense line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Quanzhou Castle and nearby forts;

Feng Zou Weiqing was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of the Southeast Defense Line, leading 50,000 troops to be responsible for the defense of Tamsui Castle and Chicken Coop Castle and nearby forts;

In order to save the cost of grain and grass transportation, the general soldiers of each town only need to send 10,000 horses to garrison in the castle and fort in peacetime, and the rest of the men and horses are all assembled in the Nandaying Water Division Base for training, and then allocate troops to garrison according to the situation in wartime. ”

His general idea is simple, but Cao Huachun is very busy, the canonization of six people can't write a holy decree, it must be divided into six parts, one for each person, he is brushing and brushing, Zhu Cijiong is not idle, there must be a governor in the southeast defense line, this candidate is really a headache.

In the future, the core of the southeast defense line, Nanda Battalion, is not only the largest naval base, but also the largest treaty port in the Ming Dynasty.

After a long time, he finally found a suitable candidate.

Nan Juyi, the word Sishou, Wanli 29 years of Jinshi, successively served as the director of the Criminal Department, the right deputy of the Imperial History, the left and right political envoys, the right servant of the household department, and later because of the eunuch party, resigned and went into hiding, the second year of the Apocalypse had patrolled Fujian, defeated the Dutch invaders in Penghu, is a civil and military all-rounder, and is quite familiar with the southeast seas, and the grade is enough, just suitable for the southeast governor.

So, Zhu Cijiong decisively ordered: "Nan Juyi, the right servant of the Fengyuan Household Department, is the governor of the southeast, responsible for all matters related to the southeast defense line, and the general soldiers of the six towns are all subordinates. ”

At this point, the affairs of the east are over, and the class can finally return to the court.
