The ship sent back by Wu Ping took nearly a month to return to Nagasaki due to the unfavorable wind.

After listening to the news sent back by Wu Ping, Chen Yue couldn't help frowning.

I didn't expect that in the few months since I came to the Japanese country, such a big thing happened to Daming. I didn't expect to send Wu Ping to lead the fleet to train and check the situation in the north of the Ming Dynasty by the way, Wu Ping actually did so many things!

What a great opportunity, how good it would be if he was in Daming, Gu Junen, who was listening from the sidelines, sighed secretly. The Northern Expedition of the Ming Army failed, and the Qing Army also suffered heavy losses, this time was a good time for the development of the Shun Army, and I don't know if Li Guo and Yuan Zongdi and others can grasp such an opportunity. But looking at Chen Yue beside him, Gu Junen shook his head secretly, knowing that with this person, even if Li Guo and the others gained momentum for a while, they couldn't make big waves, and their vision was too bad. Since he is in Zhoushan, everything in Shunjun has nothing to do with him, so what's the use of thinking so much? Gu Junen sighed secretly.

Of course, Chen Yue didn't know Gu Junen's complex psychology, he was just angry, angry Chongzhen couldn't hold his breath, and easily launched the Northern Expedition against the Manchus. I hate Lu Zhenfei even more, and the 200,000 army was easily defeated by 20,000 or 30,000 Mantars!

You must know that among these 200,000 people, there are 60,000 people of the Pingnan Army that Chen Yue has worked hard to train! After this defeat, these old brothers don't know how many people are still alive.

The little money he had accumulated with great difficulty was ruined like this!

"This court is really hopeless!" Chen Yue gritted his teeth and said, the idea of self-reliance in his heart became more firm. Expecting the civil servants of the imperial court to save the Ming Dynasty is simply wishful thinking!

"Has the prince ever regretted it?" Gu Junen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked.

"Regret what?" Chen Yue was stunned for a moment.

"Have you ever regretted that you easily handed over the military power when you were in Wuhu? At that time, with the troops in the hands of the Duke of Qi and Hao Shaoqi's help, it was easy to overthrow the Ming court and replace it. Gu Junen said with a smile.

"But it will also plunge the Ming into civil strife, and the situation is countless times more sinister than it is now." Chen Yue snorted coldly and glanced at Gu Junen.

Gu Junen smiled and stopped answering, if Chen Yue really made a move to stand on his own, it would be a godsend for Shunjun. But it's all over, Chen Yue was not tempted by ambition, and he had complicated feelings for Chongzhen, which also meant that Chen Yue would not do such a thing as rebellion, and Shunjun would have no chance.

"Although General Wu Ping made a big battle in Shandong, once the Manchu Qing came to his senses, he would inevitably send a large army to conquer, Shandong was too close to Beijing, and the Manchu court would never allow Shandong to fall into the hands of the Ming army."

Gu Junen didn't think much about it anymore, and began to analyze the situation for Chen Yue, "So Shandong should be difficult to hold, unless the imperial court sends a large army to reinforce it, but it will be a protracted war, the Ming court is newly defeated, I don't know if I can draw out the army, whether I have the courage to reinforce Shandong." ”

Chen Yue shook his head, with his understanding of the imperial court, after the recent defeat, he must have been busy with infighting and shirking responsibility, and at this time, I am afraid that no one will dare to send troops easily.

"If the imperial court is unwilling to send troops, Wu Ping alone will definitely not be able to hold Shandong, and the situation may not be good." Gu Junen frowned.

"Shandong can't hold it, and there is no need to defend it anymore, but you can't quit the cheap Manchu Tartar so easily," Chen Yue gritted his teeth and said, "I can let Wu Ping start to organize immigrants from Shandong to Zhoushan along the sea route, and all Shandong people who are willing to go to my Zhoushan will be relocated to Zhoushan for me, just to make up for the lack of manpower in Zhoushan." ”

"How can we accommodate too many people because of the barren land in Zhoushan, which is an overseas desert island?" Gu Junen exclaimed.

"Zhoushan can't accommodate too many people, isn't there still Dongfan, when the monsoon rises, I will return to Zhoushan immediately, and start to attack Dongfan, and we will definitely defeat the Dutch in one fell swoop and take the entire Dongfan Island!" Chen Yue gritted his teeth and said.

"Well, I'm afraid that's a bit of a rush." Gu Junen said dumbfounded.

"The Dutch are only more than a thousand soldiers and seven or eight warships in Dongfan, and now our Zhoushan troops are several times that of them, so I can't fight them." Chen Yue sneered. The Dutch of the entire Dongfan Island only occupied the chicken coop in the north of the island and the Daguan in the south of the island, and the main foundation was the Daguan in the south of the island, and two castles of Taiwan City and Chiji City were built there.

With the strength of Zhoushan, it is a little difficult to conquer Taiwan City and Chiji City, but it is no problem to occupy the northern and central parts of Dongfan, after all, the Dutch only have more than a thousand troops in the entire Dongfan Island, how can they defend such a huge place?

As long as you occupy the north and middle of the island, you can start to emigrate and manage your own forces, and wait for the Dutch to attack, which is better than sending a large army to fight the Dutch fortifications.

These days, Chen Yue constantly asked about the situation in Dongfan from Duncan and other surrendered Dutch people, and he also had a general understanding of the strength of the Dutch, and after thinking hard, he made the above strategy of attacking Dongfan Island.

Listening to Chen Yue's words, Gu Junen nodded, this strategy is much better than rashly attacking the city defended by the Dutch.

"However, after occupying Dongfan Island, my Zhoushan forces are equivalent to self-reliance, and they will definitely establish their own rule. The Ming system is too poor, the control and mobilization of the imperial court is too rubbish, and I don't want to adopt the Ming system again. Mr. Gu is from a humble background and is familiar with the rules and regulations of various dynasties and generations, so I don't know what to teach me? ”

Chen Yue asked solemnly. Before all this can be carried out, all the rules and regulations must be established, so that it can be done in an orderly manner. He had long been dead to the Ming system, and since he wanted to establish his own power overseas, Chen Yue would not adopt the Ming system again. Gu Junen was resourceful, and many of the systems of the Shunjun were from him at the beginning, and Chen Yue wanted to hear what different opinions he had.

"This?" Gu Junen was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, when Dashun was founded, in order to show the difference with the Ming Dynasty, he changed a lot of things in the Ming Dynasty, such as changing the six ministries to six governments, and did not adopt the military system of the Ming Dynasty's 100 households and 1000 households to put the general guerrilla generals and general soldiers, but that's all, but there is no essential difference between the foundation and the Ming Dynasty, in fact, Dashun has been in a state of wandering all the year round, and has not established strict rule at the grassroots level. Now that Chen Yue asked like this, Gu Junen was really embarrassed.

"I don't know what kind of system you want to establish, Duke Qi?" Gu Junen asked in a deep voice.

"I hope to establish a fair and just system, where no matter how hard they work, they will have the opportunity to get ahead, rather than resources and wealth being in the hands of the gentry and landlords.

I hope that when the government gives an order, the decree can be quickly conveyed to the ears of every small people, and the whole country can be mobilized quickly, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which has hundreds of millions of people, and when foreign enemies hit the national capital, they did not even have an army to resist.

I want all things to be equal, everyone to pay taxes, and there are no privileged classes under my rule, and not to put all taxes on the powerless people, so that the country has enough financial resources to cope with all difficulties. ”

"I hope ......"

Listening to Chen Yue's sonorous words, Gu Junen's heart thumped, Chen Yue's description is definitely a very ideal situation, fairness, justice and equality, aren't these what all the small people are looking forward to? But is this really possible?
