Chapter Eighty-Eight: Yang Sichang's New Plan
The first wind and rain drifted away
"The emperor wants to put a dog leash on Zheng Zhilong and let him be used by the Ming Dynasty. But I am worried that he has a thief heart and is not easy to control.
If the persecution is too great, I am afraid that it will rebel again, and then poison Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
Therefore, there was only grace and power, on the one hand, favors were given, and he was promoted from a guerrilla general to a naval governor; On the one hand, it was suppressed so that he could not continue to develop and grow.
At the same time, the emperor asked his ministers to make every effort to develop the imperial navy, which is to change the balance of power, so as to clarify the inside and outside of the Ming Dynasty and complete the emperor's grand wish! ”
In the Qianqing Palace, Yang Sichang listened to Emperor Chongzhen's intentions and expressed his opinion.
It's this theory, the analysis is very good, and the absolute senior talent!
Emperor Chongzhen was satisfied, Yang Sichang's talent is undoubted, and his understanding of the holy will is very profound and thorough, no wonder the deity and him have become good friends.
Moreover, he has a clear heart, and his methods of rectifying people seem to be good.
At least, Daoist friends Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng can't play him.
It is estimated that Zheng Zhilong, who is a martial artist, should not be his opponent.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen is a little worried about his character, he is too arrogant and crazy.
Naturally, I was impeccable in front of me, but when I went down, my true form was revealed.
This is also the stinky problem of the literati, arrogant and arrogant, others are mentally retarded, only themselves are the smartest.
Holding a shelf, you can't bend down to mingle with the soldiers, so you can't bring out a strong navy.
"Yang Aiqing, I want you to concurrently serve as the governor of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, stationed in Fuzhou.
Then set up Mawei Shipyard, cooperate with Zheng Zhilong to form an ocean-going fleet, and add Quanzhou City Ship Division, what do you think? ”
It's that people have shortcomings.
In fact, Yang Sichang, like Wen Tiren, is good at government affairs and short at military affairs, and has a set of ways to organize people.
Since this is the case, he simply let him go south, use the power of the two provinces, and form the Nanyang Navy with Zheng Zhilong.
Then I used the Longjiang Shipyard to set up several naval vice-governors, and made every effort to develop a naval fleet that was completely loyal to me.
"The Emperor Shengming!"
Yang Sichang leaned over and praised, took out a book from his cuffs with great interest and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the minister's plan for the navy according to the current situation of the imperial court." ”
Emperor Chongzhen took the recital and watched it carefully.
The content is not long, about a few hundred words, it belongs to the article style, divided into one, two or three points.
After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen slowly exhaled and said to Yang Sichang a sentence that made him extremely pleased and moved, "I don't want to use Qing early!" ”
Really, although this sentence was said by the deity, it was also Emperor Chongzhen's mood at the moment.
Because Yang Daoyou and Sun Daoyou did not agree in their lives, they were mutually restrictive, and Emperor Chongzhen did not let Yang Sichang interfere in the affairs of the Northwest rebels.
If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government!
In this way, there is naturally no famous sentence in later generations, and if you go outside, you must first settle inside!
And he dealt with the rebels in the northwest, and the plan to spread the net on all sides was also stillborn.
But now, in order to deal with Zheng Zhilong, he put forward a plan to attack from the north and south and blossom in the middle.
Specifically, it is to form the Beiyang Fleet based on the Denglai Naval Division.
Redevelop the port of Zhanjiang in Guangzhou and form the Nanyang Fleet.
If Zheng Zhilong has a bad heart or disobeys the discipline of the imperial court, the two fleets in the north and south will be flanked back and forth, showing a trend of encirclement.
Coupled with the internal division and collapse of the navy of Fuzhou Prefecture, Zheng Zhilong definitely can't make a fuss.
Of course, this is a strategy in the case of Zheng Zhilong's disobedience.
If Zheng Zhilong was obedient, Yang Sichang made specific arrangements for the use of several fleets.
As the absolute main force of the navy, the Beiyang Fleet usually focuses on combat training, and is responsible for defending Gyeonggi and protecting the security of the northern maritime frontier of the Ming Dynasty.
The Nanyang Fleet is more diversified, in addition to military training in case of emergency, it is used as a merchant ship in peacetime to provide funds for the development of the Ming Navy.
As for the combined fleet of Daming and Zheng Zhilong, under Yang Sichang's proposal, it was completely used for black work.
Collecting protection money internally, impersonating pirates externally, looking for trouble with vassal states, and so on.
In a word, as long as it is inconvenient for the imperial court to come forward, it is its job.
And this basically coincides with the thoughts in Emperor Chongzhen's heart.
In addition to the formation of the East China Sea Fleet in Zhoushan.
However, this is also a matter for later.
At least, Yang Sichang's plan to attack the north and the south and blossom in the middle is definitely in line with the current situation.
It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen thought of what he didn't expect, and Yang Sichang thought about it very thoroughly.
Therefore, talent is talent, although limited by the times, but as long as he is given direction, he will do something that surprises you.
Later, the two of them discussed this plan and made it even more perfect.
The next day, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Yang Sichang and Zheng Zhilong, father and son, in the Wuying Palace.
Zheng Zhilong is good-looking, no wonder later generations say that he is a gay brother.
And his son, Zheng Chenggong, who became famous in later generations, is now only twelve years old. inherited Zheng Zhilong's appearance, with red lips and white teeth.
Of course, his name is Zheng Sen now.
For this father and son, Emperor Chongzhen was quite emotional.
It is said that the father is a hero, but it is true that the son is a hero, but the father has become a national scum.
In fact, objectively speaking, if this dog day hadn't been angry later and surrendered to Jiannu, otherwise he would not have been able to run away as a proper national hero.
It was he who fulfilled the legend of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty has never been defeated in foreign naval wars for more than 200 years, and kept the face of the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, without him, it is really unknown whether the Haishi, who is getting weaker and weaker in the Ming Dynasty, can defeat the Dutch.
Zheng Zhilong's father and son finished saluting, and Emperor Chongzhen gave him a seat.
"Governor Zheng, I want your beloved son to enter the Zhan Mansion and give him the prince's companion, what do you think?"
As soon as he sat down, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the high platform, holding jade Ruyi in his hand, and said in a relaxed and freehand voice.
"The last general will thank the emperor!"
Zheng Zhilong was just stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down to thank him.
The Zhan Mansion is not just the prince's palace, in fact, this is the main team of the future prince, and it belongs to the reserve cadres of the imperial court.
As for the prince's companionship, it is even more of a grace.
Zheng Zhilong didn't consider other factors for the time being, he thought that he had met Wen Tiren last night, and the 50,000 silver tickets he gave had a chemical reaction.
PS: I recommend a friend's book "Expedition to the North", a rare good article at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Introduction: Gather 30,000 Han people and vow to slaughter all the Tartars.
How's that, domineering! Cool, top one!
