Cao Yue let Zheng Sen enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion and follow him to do things. Such an arrangement surprised Zheng Zhilong and his son, and they also thought of countless possible reasons. But none of them guessed Cao Yue's true intentions, Cao Yue was just because of Zheng Chenggong's reputation in history, and wanted to train Zheng Sen into an outstanding general, his own cronies, and a figure that he could grasp and trust.

Zheng Sen's relationship with Zheng Zhilong is not very good, and Zheng Zhilong doesn't like this eldest son. And Zheng Sen also has a lot of prejudices against his father and is very dissatisfied. This time, Zheng Zhilong was reluctant to accept the imperial edict at first, which made him even more worried and afraid, and he quarreled with Zheng Zhilong a few times because of this. Although Zheng Zhilong finally made a wise decision not to fight against the imperial court, the relationship between father and son did not improve significantly.

Zheng Sen is indeed a hot-blooded young man, advocating heroes, after hearing about Cao Yue's deeds, envy and admiration are not good, this time he actually received a private message from Cao Yue, praised him, and asked him to go to Nanjing to do things. This flattered him, and he hoped to get more surprises after meeting Cao Yue. There was really a surprise that befell him after seeing Cao Yue, and Cao Yue gave him great encouragement, which made him ecstatic.

He made up his mind that he must follow Cao Yue in the future, make immortal achievements, achieve fame, and contribute his strength to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

And after Cao Yue came into contact with Zheng Sen several times, he immediately found that this person of his age admired him very much, and wanted to be trusted and reused by him very much. He also made up his mind that he must be cultivated, and through brainwashing, he will make Zheng Sen his staunchest supporter, and then give it reuse in the future.

The reorganization of the Fujian Navy Division was also carried out immediately, and Cao Yue asked Lu Daqi, the squire of the military department, to go to Fujian to carry out the task of reorganization together with his cronies Cao Jie and Huang Degong, and Zhang Shize, the Jinyi Guard, assisted in completing this task.

Subsequently, the little emperor Zhu Cijiong officially issued an edict to formally establish the naval force of the Ming Guards on the basis of the original water division. Three major fleets were established: the North Sea Fleet was established on the basis of the Daming Naval Division commanded by Cao Yue, and the theater of operations included the open sea around Beijing and Tianjin and the inland rivers and lakes north of the Yangtze River; Based on the former Fujian Naval Division, the East China Sea Fleet was established, and the theater was divided into the first part of the Fujian Naval Division and the first-line naval warships of Guangzhou to form the South China Sea Fleet.

Cao Ming served as the Admiral of the North Sea Fleet, a newly discovered figure by Cao Yue, and Shi Lang, a general who had originally served under Zheng Zhilong, was appointed as Cao Ming's deputy; Huang Degong was transferred to the post of Admiral of the East China Sea Fleet, and Zheng Zhifeng, the younger brother of Zheng Zhilong, was appointed Deputy Admiral; Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, was transferred to the post of admiral of the South China Sea Fleet. He was responsible for the formation and training of the fleet, and Huang Daozhou served as his deputy.

Cao Yue's Daming Naval Division was still very small, and the warships were all wooden, except for the fleet led by Cao Ming, which was equipped with a large number of new artillery and had strong combat effectiveness, the other two fleets were very weak in combat effectiveness. Cao Yue planned to spend twenty years to build the three fleets into the world's largest and most powerful navy, and then began to conquer the world.

Everything has to be done slowly. Steam technology must be developed, ironclad fleets must be developed, and newer artillery and other weapons must be developed. In this way, the naval strength of the Ming Dynasty can be greatly improved. Only then can we have the capital and strength to conquer the world.

The Daming Royal Military Academy was also under the personal management of Cao Yue, and it was soon established near the Yanziji camp. Cao Yue personally served as the dean and personally participated in teaching. The courses offered by the college were also personally selected by Cao Yue, and the teachers were selected from the senior generals and scholars. The coursework includes political ideology, military command, logistics management, classification of various technical arms, and so on.

The first batch of cadets was also recruited immediately after the establishment of the Military Academy, and the senior generals of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces were required to participate in the training of the academy. The completion of the course is not considered until the completion of the course is obtained.

Cao Yue will outline most of the coursework in the initial class, and some of these students, as well as some of those who have rich practical experience and are good at summing up experience, will become teachers at the military academy in the future. Cao Yue planned to instill new military combat concepts in these people first, and then teach them to other cadets, so that in this way, he would gradually prepare and improve the military academy, and then establish more military academies in the future.

While personally taking charge of these matters, Cao Yue also formulated a series of social reform measures through Sun Chuanting and other courtiers under his control, including the reform of the tax system, the initial reform of the administrative system, and the support and improvement of the reform of industry, commerce, and manufacturing. The measures that were known in later generations and proved to be very conducive to social progress and development, Cao Yue was ready to move to the Ming Dynasty. Everything is for the Ming Dynasty to quickly recover from the trauma of the war in all aspects, and to make great progress, so that the Ming Dynasty will become rich and strong, and the world will admire it.

In fact, what Cao Yue wanted most was that the war would stop for a while, so that he would have time to take care of everything, so that the development of the Ming Dynasty would change in another direction, towards industrialization and capitalization, and there would be reborn changes. But things don't always go as expected, and while Cao Yue was nervously guiding various social changes in Nanjing, war in the north inevitably broke out again.

To be precise, Cao Bianjiao, who led the army stationed in Beijing, believed that after the Ming Guards had rested for a period of time and all kinds of military supplies had been replenished, they should raise troops again.

Jiannu survived outside the Guan, and other tribes such as Mongolia under its jurisdiction rebelled one after another, and North Korea also formally proposed to break away from Jiannu, return to the Ming Dynasty, and raise troops to resist. After Wu Sangui's Guanning army escaped from Guanwai, he did not serve Jiannu, but fought with Jiannu for territory.

In the chaos outside the pass, Cao Bianjiao felt that the Ming Guards, who had completed their rest, could go out of the customs to quell the rebellion and completely eliminate the Jiannu.

In the end, Cao Yue agreed to Cao Bianjiao's request, and as the governor of the capital, he ordered him to lead nearly 150,000 people from seven guard divisions stationed in the north to fight at the pass. Cao Yue also ordered the North Sea Fleet led by Cao Ming to fully support Cao Bianjiao's Northern Expedition and Korea's struggle to break away from Jiannu. At the same time, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet also sent some troops to support and began training troops in actual combat.

Cao Bianjiao led the army out of the customs to fight, Cao Yue also had to beware of Shaanxi, Sichuan Liukou took the opportunity to make trouble, after discussing with Sun Chuanting, Hongniangzi and others, Cao Yue also decided to send troops to take the initiative to attack the remnants of Li Zicheng in Shaanxi. It's just that in this western expedition, Cao Yue didn't plan to destroy the rogue immediately, but to deter, so he didn't send a lot of troops, let alone lead the army himself.

He asked the Red Lady, who took the initiative to ask for battle, to lead the men and horses of the five guard divisions to march from Henan to the place controlled by the Liukou.

As long as the Liukou dares to act rashly, he will be decisively annihilated, this is Cao Yue's instruction to the red lady.

Originally, Cao Yue hoped that the Red Lady would end her military career, officially marry him, and teach her husband and children at home in the future, but the Red Lady was not willing to do this, she also wanted to avenge Li Yan, and she had her last wish, so she also asked Cao Yue for her life to crusade against Li Zicheng's rogue. Cao Yue finally agreed to her request, and made Cao Jie and Gao Jie her lieutenants go on a crusade against the Liukou. (To be continued.) )
