Chapter 296: Preemptively Dispatch to the South Seas

Li Yunzhong saw Bismarck leave, and immediately shouted loudly: "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, two eunuchs trotted in the hall and shouted in unison: "The slave is here!" ”

"You immediately summoned Zhao Laoqi to enter the palace quickly, and I have something to inquire about."

"Slaves obey!"

"You go and summon the British and French companies to meet you!"

"Slaves obey!"

"Min Shu, you send someone to call a few responsible persons of the military department and the general staff, I have something to discuss."

"Yes!"

Zhao Laoqi didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, the eunuch who announced the decree seemed to be in a hurry, could it be that the emperor had a major matter to handle by himself? Zhao Laoqi is not afraid of the emperor like this, but he is afraid that he has nothing to do, which proves that he has fallen out of favor, and what makes him satisfied is that so far. He handled everything given by the emperor properly, and the intelligence department became bigger and bigger, although the power was divided a lot, but he was still the head of the intelligence bureau.

"Weichen Zhao Laoqi see the emperor!"

"Excuse me!"

Li Yunzhong said: "Have you paid attention to Nanyang recently? ”

Zhao Laoqi was overjoyed, he just flipped through Nanyang's files, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to slack off for a moment." ”

Li Yunzhong smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad! If the Han officials are all like you, I will be relieved, what has happened in Nanyang recently? ”

Zhao Laoqi said tentatively: "I don't know if the emperor is asking about the area controlled by the Spaniards or the area controlled by the Dutch?" ”

Li Yunzhong pondered for a while, and the persimmon was going to pick up the soft pinch.

"Which of the two of them is more powerful?"

Zhao Laoqi replied: "Naturally, it is Spain, but the Spaniards often slaughter the Chinese, and the Chinese do not have decent power. Far inferior to the Dutch-controlled Dagang Company, Lanfang Company. Wechen has long wanted to clean up this gang of Yiren! ”

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Then let's talk about the Netherlands, a small country." I also dare to go to the gate of the Celestial Empire to be presumptuous, this time I plan to teach them a hard lesson, it is best to enter their homeland, let them know that the Tao is powerful! ”

Zhao Laoqi immediately took this sentence to heart and replied: "Your Majesty, there has been a serious conflict between the Dutch East India Company and the Chinese Company recently, Your Majesty, we call them companies, but these companies are called the ...... of the Republic."

"Getting to the point!"

"Yes! These companies united against the Dutch East India Company. After a bloody battle, the Chinese were defeated, and the various republics were defeated one after another, and only the Republic of Lanfang remained. ”

Li Yunzhong asked, "You just said that there is also a Dagang company?" What about his strength? ”

Zhao Laoqi sighed: "The stronger the Dagang Company, the worse the situation. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Dagang Company is at odds with the Republic of Lanfang! Last year, Dagang Company was forced to give up a piece of territory, which was forced by the Lanfang Republic, and the territory was occupied by the Dutch. ”

Li Yunzhong didn't expect that the Republic of Lanfang was a traitor group. ridiculed: "It's actually difficult to live up to the fame, but I didn't expect the famous Lanfang Company to be a soft bone." ”

Zhao Laoqi echoed: "What the emperor said is that Liu Asheng, the leader of Lanfang, implemented a policy of appeasement, and the Dutch went further. He took a step back, and not only that, but whenever there was a conflict between the Dutch and the local Chinese. The Republic of Lanfang is on the side of the Dutch, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a traitor. ”

Li Yunzhong thought of Zheng Yan'er. Luo Meiwei's sons and daughters sighed: "I still want to see it for the sake of the harem." It seems that it is unnecessary to keep the Lanfang Company, Zhao Laoqi, if I send a large army to attack the Dutch East India Company, how many people do you think is appropriate? ”

Zhao Laoqi estimated it and replied: "Five thousand people are enough!" The Dutch still used Brubes-style rifles, and artillery was scarce, and if it weren't for their familiarity with the terrain, a thousand Han troops could have wiped them out! ”

Li Yunzhong smiled elusively and replied, "I plan to send 30,000 troops, and they are the most elite men of the Han army. ”

Zhao Laoqi said with a smile: "This is difficult to do, all the armies of the Han army are known as the most elite people, and between each other, no one obeys anyone, who does the emperor plan to send to the expedition?" ”

Li Yunzhong said softly: "Li Shixian! I asked him to pay attention to Taiwan and Nanyang two years ago! ”

Zhao Laoqi lowered his head and pondered for a while, nodded and praised: "The emperor is wise, General Li Shixian is the most suitable, Weichen heard that he often collects information on Nanyang and personally interrogates the Chinese who came back from Nanyang, General Li must be confident." ”

Li Yunzhong said: "You go down to prepare, the northern army will come back soon, don't do too much about some things, they are all meritorious heroes, even if there is a mistake, the warning is the main thing, do not arrest and interrogate privately." ”

"Wechen understands, Wechen retires!"

Li Yunzhong closed his eyes and rested for a while, and preached, "Let Lord Zhao come in!" ”

Min Shu agreed, and after a while, she led Zhao Liewen, Lin Daji and others in.

Lin Daji is the new chief of staff, and what Li Yunzhong likes is that he is very obedient and cautious, unlike Zhang Suimou, who makes his own decisions and often forms small groups.

"Ministers and others see the emperor!"

"No rudeness!"

Li Yunzhong was not verbose, and said directly: "I plan to withdraw the army, you go back and immediately arrange the logistics, the withdrawal route, and the location of the army, and you must not make a mistake!" ”

Zhao Liewen asked, "Is the army in the northeast also withdrawn?" ”

Li Yunzhong thought for a while, wrote a promotion decree, and explained: "Transfer Chen Yucheng's subordinates back, promote Li Chunfa to the governor of the Northeast, and command all the Han troops in the Northeast, and transfer Chen Chengying to the Mongolian governor, commanding all the Han troops in Mongolia, and the two of them are controlled by Zhang Suimou. ”

Lin Daji was overjoyed, and said secretly: Saiong lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing, Zhang Suimou, this kid always got in trouble because of misfortune, and he got the post of chief of staff after the last defeat, and this time he was dismissed for corruption and controlled such a large territory in Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, which is the only one among the feudal officials.

Zhao Liewen shook his head and said secretly: The emperor still trusts his righteous brothers too much, Zhang Sui sought corruption, but was promoted instead, Hu Yihuang's brother broke the law, and as soon as the rumors passed, he still came out to mess up.

Li Yunzhong continued: "Chen Yucheng's army is stationed in Tianjin, and the generals above the commander of each department will return to Beijing to report on their work!" ”

Zhao Liewen and Lin Daji bowed down to receive the order.

Seeing that no one below raised objections, after a pause, Li Yunzhong continued: "I plan to send troops to Nanyang, after you go back, hurry up and formulate a strategy, I will wait to use it, you go down." ”

Li Yunzhong closed his eyes, secretly worried, the military department and the general staff are fighting openly and secretly, and they have been getting more and more excessively recently, I didn't expect Zhao Liewen to be so resilient, Lin Daji was in charge of the staff at the beginning, and the military department deprived a lot of benefits, and the staff was completely at a disadvantage, so they had to be warned, by the way! In addition to the general staff, it is also possible to set up an armament department and a logistics department, so that the functions of the military department will be greatly reduced, the four departments will be balanced, and the military power will be guaranteed.
