Three days later, a team of guards escorted Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Fusong on the road in a low-key manner and went to Beijing, what prompted Zheng Zhilong to make a decision was Zheng Fusong's words that he would return to Beijing in three days, Zheng Fusong was not threatened in any way, and the emperor did not say anything to him, he went back completely voluntarily, Zheng Zhilong and a group of cronies and staff judged that there should be no danger, at least not in the short term.

On the contrary, several of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, as well as more than a dozen teenage boys and girls, they are all the children of Zheng Zhilong's henchmen and generals, escorted by the brigade guards, and set off in a mighty way, also going to Beijing, but they seem to be very high-profile and flamboyant.

Zheng Zhilong gambled a lot for the rise and fall of the Zheng family for a hundred years, and the henchmen under him were all reckless, arrogant, and also gambled.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong is not without a backhand, life is a gamble, but he is not a gambler who bets on red eyes, he can bet on himself and his baby son Fusong, but he will not really bet the entire Zheng family, if there is a change in the court, his henchmen who have military power will lead the Zheng family sailors to the sea and become pirates again.

Hearing the arrival of the Zheng family's father and son, Zhu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and asked the dog-headed military advisor Song Xiance to go out of the city to greet him on his behalf, in order to show his respect for Zheng Zhilong, and at the same time to release goodwill and appease Zheng Zhilong's uneasy heart.

That night, Zhu Jian set up a private banquet in the palace to entertain the Zheng family father and son, and the monarch and ministers had a long talk, which dispelled the anxiety in Zheng Zhilong's heart, and the next day he officially became the commander of the Imperial Navy, commanding all the naval fleets of the Ming Dynasty.

Ten years of the army, a hundred years of the navy, the Ming navy has a long way to go, Zheng Zhilong's responsibility is to develop and expand the navy, gallop to the open sea, block the powerful naval fleets of the Western powers, and cut off their claws stretching out to Asia.

"If Commander Zheng has any requests or difficulties, just mention them, and I will try my best to solve them."

After Zheng Zhilong took office, he was one of the bigwigs of the Ming court, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Jian asked all the bigwigs of the military to stay, discuss some things, and finally ask Zheng Zhilong what he wanted.

"Your Majesty, the minister does have some requirements." Zheng Zhilong thought for a while before saying, today is his first day to participate in court politics, coincidentally, Qin Liangyu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, sent his nephew Qin Xuefeng to send a fold, asking the emperor to send some more political work officers and gendarmes to the White Pole Army, he asked Song Xiance and Qin Xuefeng respectively about the political work officers and military police, and thought about it for a while before making this request.

Song Xiance explained to him that the political work officer was the assistant of the commander of the army, and he was not in charge of the army, but only helped take care of the daily life of the soldiers, asked for warmth, taught the soldiers to read and write, wrote letters to his family, calmed the fluctuating emotions of the soldiers, collected the opinions of the soldiers and reflected them to the commanders, and other miscellaneous tasks.

The gendarmerie is a special branch of the armed forces, subordinate to the law enforcement guard of the highest command of the garrison, and is mainly responsible for picketing soldiers' military discipline and so on.

Qin Xuefeng's explanation is similar to Song Xiance, but the explanation is more detailed, and the benefits are so many that you can't count them with your toes, since the white pole army has stationed political work officers and military police, the spiritual outlook of the white pole soldiers has changed a lot, all the soldiers will write their own names, and those who are highly savvy and diligent can even write their own family letters, in short, after the arrival of the political work officers and the military police, they helped the commander of the army to solve a lot of tedious things, and the commander was able to train the troops with peace of mind.

Zheng Zhilong was indeed suspicious and worried that the political work officers would snatch the military power at the beginning, but after listening to Qin Xuefeng's story, he breathed a big sigh of relief, his Zheng Jiashui Division and Qin Liangyu's White Pole Army can be said to be the two largest and strongest private armed forces in the Ming Empire, they are their dependence, Qin Liangyu is not afraid, what else does he have doubts and worries?

Now in the Ming Army, all the troops that have been reorganized, including Wei Yuanqing's Liaodong Water Division, Fujian Old Water Division and New Water Division, are equipped with political work officers and military police, this is already the trend of the times, even if he has a military self-respect, he can not be free from the system, not to mention that he has already made a heavy bet and accepted the nomination, what else is there to worry about?

Of course, Zhu Jian wanted to install political work officers in the Zheng family's water division, but he was worried that Zheng Zhilong would be stimulated, so he could only slow it down first, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to take the initiative to ask him to steal the joy and push the boat down the river, and agreed to Zheng Zhilong's request.

After Zheng Zhilong took office, in accordance with Zhu Jian's requirements, he first began to carry out a major reorganization of the Fujian Navy, and the Zheng fleet was reorganized into the first main fleet of the Fujian Navy, mainly engaged in ocean-going operations, and the original Fujian old naval division and the new naval division were combined into one and reorganized into the second fleet, the second fleet is slightly weaker, and is currently responsible for coastal defense, patrol, transportation and escort and other tasks.

The current strategic layout of the empire is to stick to the nine sides, recuperate, and gather the strength of the whole country to destroy the Jin Empire, and the Liaodong Naval Division will undertake the heavy tasks of assault and logistics transportation, so it can only tilt the limited funds to the Liaodong Naval Division and expand some large and medium-sized warships and transport ships, and the First and Second Fleets of the Fujian Navy will not build new warships for the time being, and will mainly repair and renovate them.

Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth and carried out drastic rectification of his own fleet, allowing some old and frail brothers to retire and go home to farm or do business, re-recruiting some young recruits to replenish, and some dilapidated old warships were also eliminated, converted into fishing boats, and the elite route was implemented, the size of the fleet was smaller, but the combat power did not decline.

The marine division of the Liaodong Naval Division was extremely powerful, which made him envious, and he also wanted to form the Fujian Marine Corps, the first fleet to form a division, and the second fleet to form a regiment, anyway, sooner or later, of course, the sooner the formation the better.

"Commander Zheng, it's not that I don't want to approve it, I can't wait to form ten marine divisions and occupy that large piece of fertile land, but you also know that the treasury is very financially struggling, and most of the funds have to be invested in people's livelihood infrastructure, so that the common people can live a good life, and the military budget is pitiful......"

Zhu Jian was of course very happy about the report on the reorganization of the Fujian Navy submitted by Zheng Zhilong, but his military spending was limited, and at present, he was mainly building the army, and the navy's military expenditure was pitiful.

"Your Majesty, the minister understands, and the minister will find another way." Zheng Zhilong said that he knew the financial predicament of the Ming Dynasty, and the bigwigs of various departments fought in the solemn Jinluan Hall in order to compete for the pitiful amount of funds, bluffing him into a stunned moment, and lamenting the fierce combat power of the Ming civil officials.

It is impossible to fight for a little more funds for the navy, he doesn't dare to fight with that group of civilian officials who are full of combat power, he is not afraid of cutting people, but if he wants to fight a war of words with civilian officials, he can only admit it, and if he can't get funds, he can only find another way, in fact, he is paying out of his own pocket, how much money the Zheng family has now, he doesn't know himself, and the shipping business cooperated with the emperor, honorable, and civilian official groups is making a lot of money, and it is also appropriate to invest part of it in his own naval fleet, and then squeeze a little bit from those rich maritime merchants, And it can make up a sum of money for military expenses.

"On behalf of the people of the Ming Dynasty, I would like to thank Mr. Feihuang for his path." Zhu Jian solemnly thanked Zheng Zhilong, a bow can fool a huge amount of military spending, and he is willing to bow a hundred times.

"The emperor can't ......" Zheng Zhilong was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, the emperor gave him a troll, this joke is too big, and he still wants to live a few more years.

The waist flashed, I couldn't squat, I couldn't sit for a long time, it hurt so much, and I guess I can't keep the update, I'm really sorry.
