Chapter 1575: The Class Teacher Returns to Beijing (Page 1/1)

By the time Xu Yifan returned to the capital with the Tianwei Army and the Beijing camp, it was already February of the following year, and it took more than half a year to come and go.

"Yifan, you have worked this expedition, and your hard work is high, I have prepared a royal banquet today to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers, as for the bereavement reward, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites will soon agree on the allocation of ......"

Zhu Jie personally welcomed Xu Yifan back to the Qianqing Palace, holding Xu Yifan's hand and laughing.

Xu Yifan replied: "It's true that the ministers have worked hard, but I'm afraid that the emperor will also be troubled by redundancy in the past half a year, right?" Now that the minister is back, do you plan to continue to be the shopkeeper and throw the court affairs to the minister and Lord Li Yan? ”

"Haha, those who know me, Yifan!"

Zhu Jie didn't blush, and laughed, "That's natural, I can't stand so many military and political affairs, trapped in these affairs, I have to live at least ten years less, I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it, I might as well hide in the harem and make a group of princes come out!" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Li Yan said helplessly on the side: "Be cautious, this is in the court, once this word reaches the harem, you will be nagging in front of the queen again......"

Zhu Jie's expression was stunned, and he said angrily: "Okay, okay, I know, you, can't you pour less cold water when I'm happy?" The good mood is disturbed by you! ”

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this time with soldiers, the minister has seen the power of the Westerners, although we won a complete battle, the Rakshasa army was annihilated cleanly, and nearly 20,000 people were captured by the prisoners alone, but I have to admit that the power of Western firearms, especially the coordination of the various departments of the Rakshasa Legion, is not weak, they even have special engineers, specially used to build fortifications, only 50,000 troops, gathered 200 artillery, 780,000 troops are all muskets, and the combat power is extremely strong, If it weren't for our rapid rise in the past few years, with the strength of the Tianwei Army five years ago, we might not be able to win steadily, this battle, Duan Xuan lost unjustly, even if it wasn't because of ammunition, Wei Huo City would definitely not be able to hold it......"

"Hmm,"

Zhu Jie agreed and replied, "Now you know why I pushed forward the innovation vigorously in the first place, right?" Ten years ago, the Daming Jiangshan Sheji was already full of holes, like a thatched hut leaking everywhere, just relying on tinkering, how could it survive the cold winter? If you want to live a good life, you have to tear it down and build a brick house! If there was no revolution ten years ago, the Ming Dynasty would have fallen under the iron hooves of the Manchurians, even if there was no Manchurian invasion, the next invasion of the Westerners would not be able to resist it. ”

Xu Yifan and Li Yan nodded one after another, for Zhu Jie's foresight, the two of them have admired the five-body throw as time goes by, with the broadening of their horizons, if the two of them can foresee the changes in three or five years, then the emperor can foresee the general trend of the next few decades or even hundreds of years, I have to say that the emperor will always see higher and farther than his own two people!

"Your Majesty, how are the affairs of Nanyang now?"

Xu Yifan asked.

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Well, more than half a year has passed, Youxian Zhi is with Guilin and Ming, the political situation in Nanyang has been on the right track, Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Luzon have all been on the right track, and now the batteries in the Strait of Malacca have initially formed a scale, Tan Guilin has built sixteen batteries of all sizes in the Strait of Malacca, deployed one hundred and twenty artillery pieces, and Tan Guilin also drew a military defense map of Malacca and transmitted it back to China, I have already seen it, this kid is growing up really fast, to tell the truth." , Now his ability is no longer under Lao Cha and Mu Feng, with him, there is no need to worry too much about the defense of Nanyang. ”

"And what about the South Sea Fleet?"

Li Yan said with a smile: "Yang Geng is now in charge of the Nanyang Fleet, and there are not a few battleships left by the Dutch and the Spaniards, and there are also five additional capital warships, with the battery group, there is no problem, Yang Geng is also a veteran of the navy, he has been immersed in the ocean all his life, and he has seen a lot ......of things."

Xu Yifan frowned and replied: "Brother Li Yan, I am still a little worried about Lord Yang Geng, this Nanyang, especially Malacca, that is our current South Gate, in the strategic position, there is no one like the best, although Yang Geng is experienced, but he always feels that he lacks a little momentum, if Zheng Cai or Shi Lang can be in charge of the Nanyang Fleet, it would be great, and even in my opinion, it is to put the first fleet or the second fleet in the Nanyang, there is no problem, after all, there is no threat along the coast of Daming now, There is no need to leave such a large fleet to look after the house......"

"Well, I went with me......"

Zhu Jie said with a smile, "However, the time has not yet come, the two main fleets are still staying in Quanzhou and Songjiang Mansion, in order to let our main warships continue to be refitted, compared with the main warships of the West, our warships still have a lot of shortcomings, especially those large-caliber artillery, it is not necessary, it is extremely heavy, slow shooting, and the number of guns is too much, which affects the mobility of the battleship, we must seize the time to upgrade the two main fleets, so as not to fall into passivity in the decisive battle with the West in the future, rest assured, We concentrate on a year's time, the first fleet refitted, once the first fleet is refitted, it will be replaced with the South Sea Fleet, and then continue to refit, the next few years, is a critical moment for us to compete with the West to compete with the world, we must not be careless, as for Shi Lang, don't think about it, he has no way to go to the South Seas, he has more important tasks, I have decreed the establishment of the Xuanyuan Company, which is responsible for ocean voyages, exploration, exploration routes, and competition for colonies, such a thing is extremely dangerous, Only Shi Lang or Zheng Caifang can serve as ......"

Xu Yifan said with a smile: "Since the emperor has been prepared, the minister is relieved." ”

Zhu Jie continued: "There is also the Indochina Peninsula, now Li Dingguo led the three towns of troops to expedition to Siam, Malay and other countries, all the way south, overcoming thorns and thorns, the Central and Southern countries are looking at the wind and falling, a few days ago Li Dingguo sent back 700 miles to expeditious, the Indochina Peninsula has been pacified, and the division will return to the dynasty soon, if Mu Feng and Jiaxing can completely subdue the Rakshasa country in this expedition, then the future Ming Empire will be no longer threatened in 20 years, 6 lands......"
