Chapter 758: Xuanda (1)

"It's okay, I'm relieved to look at this majesty." What everyone didn't know was that 10,000 meters above the official residence of the Governor of Cohen in the port of Batavia, Gao Yang, who had a relaxed face, stayed there quietly on an atmospheric shuttle, and had been closely monitoring the situation in the governor's residence.

Since Gao Yang asked Zhang Huangyan to risk his life to come to Batavia to read the holy decree and start a war against the Dutch, then Gao Yang must protect his safety and not let this national hero fall in this place. Killed by the angry barbarians.

After seeing through the monitoring system that Zhang Huangyan's fast sailing ship raised the dragon flag, slowly left the dock of Batavia Port, and sailed towards the place where the sea and sky meet in the north, Gao Yang also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's best if the Dutch don't do it, otherwise Gao Yang wouldn't mind a large-scale indiscriminate floor wash here! Even if this would greatly affect the stability of the space-time channel, it is not a matter of course.

"The Ming Empire in this era was extremely powerful, and the countries around the empire were all vassal states and courtiers. The prestige left by Zheng He when he went to the West is still there. These Ming officials are naturally very arrogant in front of those barbarians. They are the center of the world, and they have the confidence. Origin said with a smile.

"Everything needs to be spoken with strength. Without strength, where does any prestige come from? Do you still expect those turbans to use the Four Books and Five Classics to influence these robbers who risk their lives for survival? Without the support of a strong state behind it, it is useless for an individual to be strong and capable. Gao Yang sat on the soft seat, tilted his head slightly, looked at the vast sea of clouds outside the porthole softly, shook his head slightly, and said softly.

"The original history. From now on, the Chinese nation has lost the right to speak for thousands of years. However, because of your appearance in this plane, I estimate that they can continue this kind of strong national prestige for at least three hundred years. Origin paused. gave its own analysis.

"Three hundred years?" Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his mouth curled. Smiled indifferently. He breathed a sigh of relief, half-squinted his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "I can't care about things for so long." Now it's enough to lay the groundwork as much as possible. The future is still left to future generations. One generation, one generation. ”

......

How powerful the Ming navy is, and what significance it has for the expansion of the entire empire in the future, these Chongzhen emperors don't know. For him, the ocean is a completely foreign territory. He didn't want to know what was going on outside the sea.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen's most anxious thing was to exterminate the peasant army everywhere in the country.

The peasant soldiers who dug up the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family and slaughtered the officials of the vassal kings in various places had already made his eyes red. As for what Zheng Zhilong was, there were also those Xiyi who didn't know whether it was called Holland or Spain, and he didn't enter his magic eyes at all.

The Daimyo Empire was a standard continental country. Most people, from the Emperor to the commoners, would not understand what a price to be paid for despising the sea at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. How much blood it takes to regain lost time! Fortunately, though, now they have Gao Yang here.

The declaration of war that Zhang Huangyan brought to the Dutch was aimed at the Spaniards!

Gao Yang pretended not to know that the Dutch had formally gained independence from Spanish rule. The rabbits dragged Spain into the war. This is a legitimate pretext for attacking the Luzon Islands.

Naturally, the frustrated Governor Cohen was glad to be able to drag the Spaniards into the water. With the Spaniards on Luzon at the front, Governor Cohen had ample time to assemble his fleet scattered around the world and demand massive reinforcements from the Dutch mainland.

There are no mobile phones in this era! The only way to gather the sail warships scattered around the world is to give orders by letter. In this era when the speed of navigation was not more than a few knots. Trying to inform all the ships of the order was a terrible time.

In this way, the Spaniards, who did not know anything, fell into a catastrophe of annihilation. Governor Cohen did not even bother to inform the Spaniards. can make a century-old feud unlucky. And help yourself out. It's too late for him to be happy.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about the affairs of the sea, and he was now worried about the fate of the vassal kings scattered in the big cities all day long. These are his relatives. Emperor Chongzhen treated his relatives well.

When he received the information that a certain prince had slaughtered his entire family in his fiefdom. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't hold back any longer. After learning that Gao Yang had returned to Beijing, he hurriedly sent Wang Chengen to invite Gao Yang into the palace for a talk.

After sending Zheng Xiujing back to modern times to meet her sister, Gao Yang happily hummed a little song and returned to Jingshi. When he was in a good mood, he was thinking about the next action goal, and Wang Chengen, who was smiling, arrived.

Gao Yang is not Emperor Chongzhen's courtier, if there is nothing important, he will not be on call.

After listening to Wang Chengen's narration, Gao Yang pondered for a moment, combining the information he had received before. He felt that he should be able to attack Li Zicheng now. Li Zicheng's sphere of influence has almost cleaned up those imperial relatives, high-ranking families, and celebrities and gentry. It's time to go pick the fruit.

"National Teacher!" Anxiously pacing back and forth in the imperial study. Emperor Chongzhen, who was smoking cigarettes one after another, saw Gao Yang coming. A relaxed expression immediately appeared on his face, and he threw away the cigarette casually. hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Majesty, the weather is cold now, and it is very difficult for the sergeants to go out to fight. Why don't you wait until after the beginning of spring before you set out? After a brief greeting, Gao Yang sat on the chair, crossed his legs, raised his eyebrows and said.

What Gao Yang said is also the truth. Although the dreaded Xiaoice Age is now coming to an end, in the era of no greenhouse effect, winter temperatures are far from being as warm as modern time and space. Even Guangzhou has a lot of snow.

Now there is no heating supply in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and you can only rely on your own small home when winter comes. People basically hide in their homes and don't come out. Dripping water into ice is not just an idiom, it is really, very cold. It's not uncommon for people to freeze to death.

"This ......" Emperor Chongzhen also hesitated. He could also understand that Gao Yang's words were not wrong, and it was very easy to provoke a mutiny when going out to fight in the winter. In many cases, soldiers were frozen to death and frostbitten far more than they were killed in battle. But he was unwilling to wait a few more months, and when the spring flowers bloomed, he was doing it. If it drags on for a while, I'm afraid that all the vassal kings in the whole world will be gone. Emperor Chongzhen's hatred for those peasant armies in his heart had already made him go crazy.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had no talent for marching and fighting, set his sights on Gao Yang, with one hand behind his back and the other lightly twisting his beard. looked at Gao Yang with hopeful eyes, squirming his lips slightly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Gao Yang smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, you can really give me a problem." ”

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, and said hurriedly, "The national teacher has a way?!" ”

Gao Yang stood up and said softly with an indifferent expression, "Your Majesty, your Royal Army is a full-time soldier in the true sense of the word, they are professional!" Although there are difficulties, they are not insurmountable. ”

"Great!" Emperor Chongzhen's face was excited, and he clapped his hands vigorously, "I know that the national teacher must have a way." Then I will wait for the good news of the national teacher. ”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said casually, "This is what soldiers should do." However, this time, the goal is tentatively set on the front line of Xuanda. After all, it was approaching the end of the year at this time, and letting the sergeants brave the cold wind and snow to fight in distant places during the Chinese New Year was a great blow to the morale of the army. After all, most of your Royal Army at this time is composed of officers and soldiers from the Northern Zhili. They all want to spend the New Year at home. ”

"Okay." Emperor Chongzhen originally hoped that Gao Yang would be able to capture Xi'an Mansion in one go, capture Li Zicheng and other bandit leaders alive, and capture Jingshi to kill him with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in his heart. It's just that he also understands in his heart that what Gao Yang said is the truth. In the troubled times, these sergeants are all to be coaxed.

Gao Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, then I will go and prepare for the expedition." Will definitely be back before Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Gao Yang didn't say whether he could win or not. When an army trained in modern training methods uses advanced thermal weapons far ahead of its time to attack an army in the era of cold weapons that is loosely organized. If you can't win, it's a big joke.

Gao Yang didn't even need to send a large army, a small number of elite troops would be enough for this task. The elite professional army that has been rigorously trained, well-equipped, and has high morale is far from being able to resist those motley peasant armies under Li Zicheng!

"National teacher, please stay." When Gao Yang was about to say goodbye and leave, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly stopped him under Wang Chengen's eyes.

"Huh?" Gao Yang didn't see Wang Chengen glaring at Emperor Chongzhen, and looked at Zhu Youzhen with some doubts. Didn't understand what else he had to say.

"This." Emperor Chongzhen coughed a little embarrassed, and said with a chuckle, "Brother Chen Youdi has been studying in the study all the time, and several masters have said that this child has a good nature and works hard. He will inevitably be a promising child in the future. I discussed it with the queen, and I thought this child was very good. Therefore, I want to discuss it with the national teacher, and I want to marry Chen Youdi. I don't know what the national teacher thinks? ”

"Princess Akihito?" Gao Yang raised his eyebrows and let out a voice in surprise.

This Princess Zhaoren is only seven or eight years old after the New Year. In history, when Li Zicheng broke through the Jingshi, he was killed by Emperor Chongzhen himself. Far less famous than her sister, Princess Changping. Now that history has taken another fork in the road, Princess Zhaoren is not dead, Emperor Chongzhen has thought about arranging a marriage for her so early? (To be continued)
