1233 The young left home and the eldest returned
In the royal palace of Manila City, King Yi was a little restless from the beginning.
Originally, he was very confident in the strength of the imperial court sailors, but he was concerned about the battle at his doorstep, and when he asked about the situation in the palace, a Luzon Ming person told him about the power of the Xiyi warships, especially later, when he heard that there were seventy-five Xiyi warships alone, he was not calm.
This war took place right on his doorstep, and once it failed, not only would his vassal kingdom be gone, but even his life would be difficult to protect. The so-called concern is chaos, he has not had such an experience, and he began to think blindly, what if?
Sometimes it's like this, the more you care, the more nervous you become; The more nervous you are, the more worried you are; The more worried, the more flustered the heart becomes.
When the cannon rang out in Manila Bay, his fear reached the extreme, and he couldn't hold back, so he hurried to the head of Manila City and looked at Manila Bay despite the dissuasion of his subordinates. Anyway, he wanted to see for himself how the battle went?
Who knew that it was okay not to look at it, but he was scared at this look.
I saw that on the side of Manila Bay, the whole world was covered with enemy fleets, and just the legendary Xiyi warships looked like a lot. In this way, he was even more worried, even if he probably knew the battle plan and knew that there were reinforcements waiting in the open sea, he was also afraid, what if, what if the reinforcements from the open sea were too late to arrive? The Xiyi battleship is so powerful, it is very likely that a wave of bulldozing Zheng Zhilong's sailors in the bay, so what should I do?
However, what he didn't expect was that after the two sides really started fighting, the battle situation in Manila Bay turned out to be one-sided.
First, the Dutch battleships close to the Daming Naval Division were sunk one after another, and then, before the Dutch coalition could attack, their own men fought. First the pirates attacked the Dutch fleet, and then the Dutch fleet bombarded the pirate group, seeing this, he was relieved and behaved more calmly.
When he saw Liang Xiaozhen in the chat group saying that he had captured the commander of the Dutch fleet, an admiral named Anthony, he was relaxed.
Exiting the chat group, when he saw that the reinforcements from the open sea had appeared in the direction of the entrance to Manila Bay, he smiled, shook his head at the people around him, and said: "Thanks to you, I think the Xiyi fleet is powerful!" Hehe, see no, no matter how powerful the Xiyi fleet is, it is not vulnerable at all in front of our Daming Naval Division! ”
Looking at King Yi with a smile on his face, his subordinates also said with a smile: "The villain said that the Xiyi fleet is powerful, but the villain didn't say that our Daming Naval Division is even more powerful, and the Xiyi Fleet wants to come to beat our Daming Naval Division, which is simply an egg hitting a stone!" ”
King Yi was in a very good mood at this time, listening to his explanation, he laughed, and didn't care, just looked at the sea of Manila Bay, the warships of the Daming Navy Division surrounded it, and captured the enemy's ships and people. In this battle, although the results have not yet been reported, King Keyi can also see that it is definitely a brilliant record!
From now on, the lonely feudal kingdom will not have to worry about it! Yiwang thought so in his heart.
It was not until the evening that the preliminary statistics of the results were calculated, and Liu Jinsheng, on behalf of Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the sailors, reported to Emperor Chongzhen in the chat group: "In this battle, our army killed 356 people and wounded 72 people. A total of 53 Dutch warships were captured, 11 were sunk, and 11 were so badly damaged that they had to give up. In terms of prisoners, a total of 9,652 people were captured, including Kun, the governor of Batavia, and Antony, the admiral of the Dutch fleet. 5,636 pirates were captured, and Liu Xiang's pirates are missing, and it has not yet been verified whether they were killed or mixed with the captives. More than 36,000 natives of Nanyang were captured and countless ...... drowned"
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard these figures. No matter how it is laid out in advance, only when the results of this battle come out can the dust settle. A big win, a big win indeed! After this battle, the entire Nanyang was controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Nanyang Dingye!"
"The end will be congratulated by the emperor and congratulated by Daming!"
“……”
All of a sudden, in the temporary group, it was very lively, and the words of congratulations began to swipe the screen.
Controlling Nanyang means that many feudal kings can be divided, and the pressure on the domestic clan will be reduced a lot. Moreover, the establishment of more feudal states in Nanyang will drive the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty, which means that the future maritime trade tax will be greatly increased!
After spending a small price and getting a big victory, everyone is beaming!
After everyone was happy, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that all the captives should be sent back to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to build roads, but the governor and admiral of Nabatavia were sent to Beijing along with the spiritual positions of the dead soldiers.
After the decree was issued, King Yi immediately contacted Emperor Chongzhen privately, complaining that the vassal country lacked human resources and there was no one to mine. If the vassal country does not produce enough minerals, it is not easy to do business with the country, and it also owes a large debt to the Ming Construction Bank, which also has to be repaid.
In the end, Emperor Chongzhen agreed, gave him a part of the prisoners, and joined the pit digging army in Luzon.
When King Yi received a new will, he grinned in his own palace. Last time, I went directly to cut off the silver dollar in Spain, but I learned a lesson, and not a single silver dollar fell into my hand. Now that I have learned my lesson, I have finally gained a little benefit. It seems that no matter what happens in the future, you must remember to hug the emperor's thigh first before you can have soup to drink!
He was thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that Zheng Zhilong would sit in Nanyang and sweep away the remnants of the enemies in Nanyang who were hostile to the Ming Dynasty. Liang Xiaozhen was transferred from the factory and guard system, and he was rewarded as a general of the Ming Navy, leading fifty sail warships and a total of one hundred other warships, and went to the port city under the control of the imperial court on the Tang side, and the name of the sailor was changed to the Bengal Sailor of the Ming Dynasty. This is the first resident Daming Naval Division in the Little Western Ocean (that is, the Indian Ocean).
This news made Tang Wang very happy. With such a sailor, he was not at all worried about the threat from the sea. In this way, we can focus on building domestic roads and making it easier for goods to go to sea. As an old man in the chat group, he knew that the Ming Dynasty would definitely continue to expand westward, and when the time came, he, the Tang Kingdom, would become a prosperous area on the Silk Road.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care what the Tang King had in mind, and mobilized a hundred sail warships from Nanyang to the Busan Water Division Base in the Korean Province to strengthen the strength of the Liao Xian Naval Division, and prepare to join the war against the Japanese State in the future. Of course, Zheng Zhihu's Marines will inevitably be transferred together. Special operations have proven to play an unexpected role.
After a series of wills on the Nanyang side were issued, the good news was announced to the world through the chat group, and at the same time, Sun Chuanting was restored to the post of governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and the temporary generation was removed.
At this moment, the world was shaken again, and unconsciously, the entire Nanyang was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, which was not just forcing the natives of Nanyang to submit to the Ming Dynasty, but directly becoming a part of the Ming Dynasty, and the future will be used by the feudal king.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty once again shocked the world. Especially the people in the south of the Ming Dynasty are even more excited. For them, Nanyang is about to become a vassal state, which is another huge business opportunity, with many opportunities to make a fortune, and even gives many people the opportunity to go to Nanyang to become officials.
In order to give the vassal kings a long insight, Emperor Chongzhen added them to the group and established a temporary vassal king group. Emperor Chongzhen could see that those vassal kings were rushing to ask King Yi for news about Nanyang. Because they are about to participate in the auction of the Nanyang Domain, they know that the price can be quoted happily.
Yiwang also rarely had such an opportunity, so he was in the group, foaming at the mouth to introduce the situation in Nanyang. But as he talked, he would talk about the Battle of Manila Bay, about a large-scale naval battle he had seen with his own eyes, and about the strength of the imperial navy!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at him talking in the group, and he just smiled. He was happy to see that.
After watching the chat led by King Yi for a while, Emperor Chongzhen remembered something again. Although he gave Sun Chuanting the opportunity to pacify Nanyang and rescue many Nanyang Ming people, he was reinstated. However, because of his iron-faced selflessness in taxation, he did not give the officials a chance to be affectionate. Although such an act is appreciated by himself. However, just after the easy break, there are some things, it is better to remind him. It can't just be a factory guard who helps him in secret, he has to change it himself.
In the past, there was a Hai Rui in the Jiajing Dynasty, which was wild and wild. I have to shape one in the Chongzhen Dynasty, so I choose this Sun Chuanting, but I have to follow my own design and take the initiative to cultivate one.
Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Sun Chuanting's portrait and gave this minister a face-to-face lesson.
At the end of May of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Taiping Port, Fuzhou, Fujian, where since King Yi divided Luzon and King Fu divided Annam, it has prospered very quickly.
Taiping Port is divided into two major ports, military and civilian, at the beginning, the military port was prosperous, the naval division was stationed here, and there was also the primary military hall of the naval division on the side. There are more soldiers, and it is lively here.
Later, civilian ports changed at a rate of almost one day at a time. Not only has the port been expanded, but the wharves that can accommodate the docks have become larger and larger, and even the warehouses and shops on the wharves have also increased. The wasteland around the harbor is long gone.
The merchants who ran the sea route were rich, and under their leadership, they said that Changle Zhi County reported to the Governor's Palace, and finally gave priority to the construction of cement roads here, including the port side, all of which were cement roads. This greatly facilitates the people of the port, and they no longer have to worry about the rainy weather in the south, which makes the road muddy here in the port and cannot do anything.
Speaking of which, it surprised the people here a little. Governor Sun started as the governor of Fujian and has been here for many years. For a long time, he has been called the "cold-faced Hades". No matter who or what he does, he only acts according to the laws of the imperial court, and he is ruthless. Back then, he even beat to death a tax evasion, which shocked I don't know how many people.
Later, however, the direction of the wind about Governor Sun that was talked about in the restaurant teahouse seemed to have changed. are all discussing, saying that Governor Sun, the cold-faced king of Yama, is actually aimed at corrupt officials and corrupt officials, military generals who are afraid of death, and meritorious people who do misdeeds, for ordinary people, who has tasted Governor Sun's ruthlessness?
Saying this, many people think about it, and this is really the case. Governor Sun is ruthless to those people, on the other hand, isn't it kindness to ordinary people, he is a good official!
Think about it again, what Governor Sun was like before he came to the south, and what he looks like now, it's obviously much better! However, some people say that this is a change in the national policy of the imperial court and the reason for the emperor's sage, but some people believe that the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven is true, but Governor Sun's cold face and ruthlessness and heavy-handed rectification are also indispensable. Such a good official is a blessing to the people!
It was on the basis of such public opinion that the maritime merchants would encourage Changle County to report the cement road repair, but unexpectedly, Governor Sun immediately approved it, and played the imperial court, and soon asked the Ministry of Communications to send someone to give priority.
At this moment, I don't know if Sun Chuanting's impression in the hearts of civil and military officials has changed, but in the hearts of ordinary people, there have been a lot of changes. When the news came out of the imperial court's announcement that Sun Chuanting was reinstated, ordinary people were still quite happy.
On this day, the people of Taiping Port unexpectedly discovered that Governor Sun had come to them with a lot of entourage. Let many people secretly speculate, and they don't know who will come to Taiping Port, so let Governor Sun personally come to greet him?
Different from their mentality of eating melons, at this time, on the sea not far from Taiping Port, there are many sail warships, riding the wind and waves. In the cabins of several of these ships, it was full of people.
Suddenly, an officer of the Ming army got out of the cabin and said with a smile to the people here: "The overseer has an order, and it is about to arrive at Taiping Port, everyone can go up to the deck to have a look!"
As soon as he heard this, the originally quiet cabin suddenly burst into flames. It's like a stagnant pond and all of a sudden, an elephant falls out of the sky.
I saw that the people in the cabin, men, women, and children, all got up and talked to each other with great excitement.
"I'm back, I'm finally back!"
"I have been looking forward to it day and night, and I have finally looked forward to this day, even if it is worth dying!"
"I don't know how the family is doing, how are they doing? You say, has my appearance changed, and will my family still recognize me? ”
"When I left home and returned to my eldest child, my hometown accent has not changed, and my sideburns have faded......"
“……”
Amid the noise, someone wanted to rush to the deck to take a look. So, there was a bit of a mess in the cabin.
At this time, an old man paused with a cane and said excitedly: "Don't mess around, go one by one, what's the hurry when you get home?" ”
As soon as he said this, some people in the cabin chimed in.
"Everyone listens to Su Lao, don't mess up, don't worry!"
"Yes, it's all home, what's the hurry!"
"Calm, calm......"
Su Lao, that is, Su Minggang, didn't want Su Minglun to help, and was the first to walk out of the cabin.
These people are all Ming people from Batavia, and with the emperor's permission, they went back to Fujian directly by warship.
