"It can't be said to be a lie, it's that they are attracted by your brother's great personality. ◇↓ Top ◇↓ Point ◇ ↓ Small ◇ ↓ said, "Zhu Youcheng bragged shamelessly.

"This is also true, Brother Cheng is worthy of being a member of my Zhu family." The Emperor of the Apocalypse quietly put gold on his face.

"It's worthy of being a member of my Wei family." Wei Zhongxian put gold on his face in his heart.

"Are you going to reorganize the sailors of Juehua Island into the army? It's a bit overkill, our Ming army has a lot of people, but the number of sailors is obviously insufficient. The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a little regret, "When I think of Grandpa Cheng, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty spread far and wide, and it was really a ship like a cloud, and all countries came to court." It's a pity that there is no ancestor after becoming an ancestor, and the rivers of the Ming Dynasty are declining, not only when the original subject country asks us for help, we are powerless, but even after our Dayuan Island is occupied by Hongyi, we have no ability to recover it for the time being. ”

Dayuan Island is the island of Taiwan, which was occupied by the Netherlands in the fourth year of the Apocalypse. The Ming people do not attach much importance to sea power, although the island of Taiwan is occupied by foreign races, but the Ming people do not care about it, who knows that this matter is like a nail in the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Yes, it is precisely because the Ming Dynasty has both enemies on land and enemies from the sea, so I think Jinyiwei also needs sailors, so I put them in Tianjin. If the emperor agrees, they will build a military port there, train soldiers and build ships, and in a few years they can form an army and clear the sea frontier for the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Good, good, very good." The Emperor of the Apocalypse stood up, shook Zhu Youcheng's hand vigorously, and said, "Only you can see so far, only you are not afraid of being suspicious of me, and you are doing your best for the interests of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Apocalypse continued: "After Dayuan Island was occupied by Hongyi, I asked Wei Banban to check the information on Dayuan Island and found that Hongyi had been plotting against Dayuan for a long time. As early as the thirty-second year of Wanli and the second year of the Apocalypse, Hongyi twice attacked Penghu in the north of Dayuan Island. But all ended in failure. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, they moved to the southern part of Dayuan Island and built a walled city there, which has finally become a climate until now. And according to my guess, as soon as Hongyi comes, the Francos will inevitably follow. At that time, the maritime frontier of the Ming Dynasty was in danger. Wei Banban drafted a decree to reorganize the water division of Juehua Island in Tianjin, limited to twenty thousand households, and they belonged to the newly established Jinyi Weidong Zhenfu Division, which was made by ......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't remember who should be the envoy of this suppression, so he looked at Zhu Youcheng.

Zhu Youcheng hurriedly said: "Wu Huping, a thousand households of the Fusi Division of Xizhen, is brave and strategic, and he can be of great use......

"The envoy of Dongzhen Fusi will be served by Wu Huping. Brother Cheng, you exterminated 40,000 Jiannu this time and made a miraculous achievement. But I won't knight you, you won't blame me. ”

Wei Zhongxian originally thought that with Zhu Youcheng's great work this time, it would be more than enough to seal the marquis of ten thousand households. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse inherited his grandfather's stinginess, and he didn't give Zhu Youcheng any title, isn't this a clear bully of his grandson?

Zhu Youcheng smiled and said, "Of course not, when the Ming Haiyan River clears, a proper title of the prince is waiting for me." What prince's title is more noble than that of the prince? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes." That's exactly what I thought. However, meritorious service cannot be unrewarded, I promoted you to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in charge of the east and west of the Jinyi Guard. The pacification envoy of the West Town Fu Division should be promoted from your subordinates, and if you change people, you can't implement your training ideas, but it is not beautiful. That's right. The rifling you just mentioned...... What kind of firecracker, grenade or something, it sounds like it's remarkable, can you take out the blueprints of these two weapons and let the Ordnance Department copy them in large quantities, so that. The combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty will skyrocket, and it is not a problem to build slaves, Tartars, Hongyi, and Fulang machines. ”

The rear-loading rifled firearm was in the limelight at Shanhaiguan, and he couldn't hide it, so he generously introduced this weapon to the Emperor of the Apocalypse along with the grenade.

Zhu Youcheng pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not under any kind of force, thinking about the three major campaigns of Grandpa Wanli back then-driving the Japanese Kou, exterminating Bibai, and Pingbanzhou, which battle did not make the enemy cry and cry for his mother." Now it is only more than 30 years since the three major expeditions, how can the Ming army degenerate to this kind of course, and it will be defeated in every battle in Liaodong. I once heard that during the First Battle of Salhu, the old thief chief Nuer Haqi even got the strategy and route of the Ming army's attack before the Ming generals, and only then did he achieve victory. And when he attacked the city in Liaodong, he was all responded by internal ghosts and opened the door to release the enemy. On the other hand, this time I guarded Juehua Island, a half-human-high wall firmly blocked them, and even the old thief chief was killed by me. Therefore, the defeat of the Ming army was not a crime of war, but a change in people's hearts. This time it was the same, the emperor heard that I was trapped on Juehua Island, and urgently ordered Shanhaiguan to send reinforcements to respond, but I returned to Shanhaiguan victoriously, and their reinforcements were not ready. Why? It is the psychology of greed for life and fear of death. They are the emperor's troops who spend three million taels of silver to support them every year. For this reason, when I left, I served the generals of Shanhaiguan in one pot, except for the general soldier Yang Qi, as well as his subordinates Wu Xiang, Zhuang Qiancai and a few others. I don't want to hide these two weapons, but I'm afraid that if the Ordnance Department gets the drawings today, Jiannu will be able to make this kind of firearm tomorrow, and then I will become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse listened to Zhu Youcheng's narration in a daze, and felt that he was still not very thoughtful. Da Ming failed everywhere, in fact, it was not all a matter of weapons. Although the old-fashioned firecracker has a short range, its lethality should not be underestimated, not to mention the long-range Furlong cannon, even if it is defeated, it will not be so badly defeated. Last year's defeat of Liuhe, thousands of fights to hundreds, and the defeat was thousands of miles, which simply made people laugh off their big teeth. Such a soldier, even if he carries an advanced firearm, is also a food delivery to Jiannu.

He was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "In this way, Brother Cheng must keep the secret well, the Xizhen Fusi Arsenal has been upgraded to a state secret, and those who dare to spy on the arsenal, regardless of their official position, will be cut first and then played." ”

Zhu Youcheng saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was depressed, and promised softly.

Suddenly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse came back to his senses and exclaimed, "What, you gave the generals of Liaodong a pot?" ”

"It's not so fierce, it's just that all the Liaodong generals who returned to Shanhaiguan have been arrested, and the big heads of the Liaodong generals are like Zu Dashou and Zu Dale, hiding in Ningyuan, and they can't catch them if they want to."

"You, you, what should I tell you?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse rubbed his temples and said, "Your ability is not small, and your ability to cause trouble is even greater. Like this time, as soon as you made a great achievement, you immediately broke into a strange disaster. The generals of Liaodong are cowardly and useless, I can see it clearly. But they have heavy troops in their hands, and they can't suddenly make heavy moves, and I am also slowly trying to figure it out. But if you do this, it is tantamount to forcing the imperial court to completely break with the Liaodong generals, in case their old troops surrender, the Ming Dynasty has no danger to defend, and our hinterland will be completely exposed to the minions of Jiannu. ”

"It's okay, I've thought about it a long time ago. Jiannu has not been able to get out recently, the old thief chief Nuer Ha Qi has hung up, and his sons Huang Taiji and Dol Roll have fought to the death for that sweat position, and they have no time to look south. Even if the old troops of General Liaodong wanted to defect to Jiannu, they would have to cross two hundred miles of no-man's land. Moreover, I have arranged for Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qian, graduates of the Daming Military Academy, to take over the old department of Liaodong. In fact, there are many contradictions within the old department of Liaodong - the generals of Liaodong like to raise military soldiers, and there is a deep rift between military soldiers and ordinary soldiers, as long as the military family is eliminated, the soldiers of Liaodong will be out of the control of the generals of Liaodong. When I left Shanhaiguan, Yang Qi had already fully mastered all the soldiers in Shanhaiguan. In time, the soldiers of Shanhaiguan will become the main force of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was overjoyed and said, "Oh, Brother Cheng, how is your head growing, and you have made a miraculous contribution to the Ming Dynasty." Although others will say that you framed your colleagues, in fact, the significance of your operation is even more than killing the old thief chief Nuer Haqi. ”

Zhu Youcheng said with rare modesty: "I'm just stupid and bold, I can't look down on the generals of Liaodong, and I look cheap and well-behaved." It's annoying enough to be cheap, and it's intolerable to come out and sell it again. ”

"I have always wanted to move the generals of Liaodong, but when I think of the consequences, I am a little timid. I didn't expect you to go to Shanhaiguan and arrest them all with such a big effort. The Emperor of the Apocalypse turned to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Banban, arrest all these people into the East Factory, torture me carefully, and dig out all those Litong Jiannu."
