Chu Yi said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty already knows that there are many countries like our Ming Dynasty overseas, then you should know that one day, these people will come from the sea, just sooner or later." Even if it is not our generation, it will definitely collide with tremors in the future. ”

Seeing Chu Yi pour the tea for himself, Zhu Houzhao picked up the teacup, a bright color flashed in his eyes and nodded: "What the big companion said is right, I can now understand why the big friend insists on vigorously training the water master." ”

In fact, as for Chu Yi's insistence on compiling and training sailors, Mo said that most of the Chinese martial arts in the DPRK were opposed, and even many officials in the Wuwang Party were very puzzled.

After all, since ancient times, the enemies of the Chinese dynasties have all come from the northern grasslands, and as for the sea, there are really no enemies.

Even if there is Dongying, but in everyone's hearts, Dongying is just a barbarian alien race, and it is impossible to threaten the safety of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the South Seas, the Daming Naval Division was almost unparalleled in the world, but in just a hundred years, the unparalleled fleet of the past had already disappeared without a trace, leaving a sigh in vain.

No one would have thought that one day there would be an enemy coming from the sea, so the sailor did not have much presence in the Ming army at all.

Like Chu Yi, even the Son of Heaven was a little hesitant to build a water division.

However, Zhu Houzhao has great faith in Chu Yi, so even if he hesitates in his heart, he will never object to Chu Yi's suggestion, so there is now a team of water divisions in the First World War.

Almost half of the sailors trained by the Ming Dynasty are now fighting in the land of Dongying, and most of the domestic sailors are still in training, even if they are warships, most of them are still in the shipyard.

Now that there is an enemy coming from the sea, it can't help but make people think of Chu Yi's original arrangement, if it weren't for Chu Yi, I'm afraid that Daming wouldn't even be able to pull up a complete team of sailors now.

Picking up a cup of tea, Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "I don't know what arrangements Your Majesty has made this time?" ”

Although Chu Yi had already left the matter of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, Chu Yi wanted to hear about this matter and see how Zhu Houzhao dealt with it.

Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi with a bit of smugness on his face: "My companion said that professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, and I am not good at transferring troops at all, so I handed over this matter to Yang Yiqing to supervise." ”

Chu Yi couldn't help frowning slightly.

Zhu Houzhao noticed the change in Chu Yi's expression and couldn't help but panic in his heart: "Big companion, what's the matter, is there anything wrong with my arrangement?" ”

Chu Yi shook his head slowly, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, if the affairs in the army are really talked about, Yang Yiqing's talent is almost unmatched, so Your Majesty handed it over to Yang Yiqing to handle, but it is no difference." ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Houzhao said with a little puzzlement: "You seem to be ...... with you."

After all, Zhu Houzhao saw Chu Yi frowning, and he had some doubts in his heart, only to hear Chu Yi say with a straight face: "The minister is just worried that the Duke of Jin Guo has underestimated this group of enemies!" ”

If it was said that a group of Tatars appeared around Gyeonggi on the northern grasslands, to be honest, the civil and military forces of the Ming and Manchu dynasties would definitely fight with a spirit of twelve points to deal with it.

But now, a group of aliens who don't know where they came from the sea have appeared outside the port of Tianjin.

Since ancient times, there has been no strong enemy from the sea, and it is reasonable that the Manchu civil and military forces do not take it to heart, which can be seen just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's reaction.

Even Zhu Houzhao, who is the Son of Heaven, didn't take it to heart, let alone those officials who claimed to be the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it was really unrealistic for them to be cautious about dealing with the Portuguese and Dutch maritime alliances.

Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi and said, "Big companion, are you looking too highly at this group of enemies!" It's just a group of barbarian aliens, even if they can rely on the strength of the crowd to break through the port, it is only because the defenders are defenseless, otherwise, how would these aliens land. ”

When Zhu Houzhao was talking to Chu Yi here, Yang Yiqing, who had just become the first assistant of the cabinet and encountered such an incident, was a little excited at this time.

The Son of Heaven handed over this matter to him to handle, and Yang Yiqing naturally knew what his intentions were.

On the one hand, there is no more suitable candidate than him in the court, and on the other hand, he also wants him to use this incident to establish his own majesty.

Yang Yiqing immediately convened several cabinet elders in the cabinet to discuss how to deal with the incoming enemy.

Brushing his beard, Chen Ding said to Yang Yiqing: "This official can guarantee that the money and food are sufficient, and it will definitely not delay the logistics of the army." ”

Although many people are very displeased with Chen Ding's pedantry, one thing has to be admitted, Chen Ding is old-fashioned and old-fashioned, but he is an honest official, and he is the most suitable candidate for the head of the household.

If someone else is in charge of the household department, just thinking about the current treasury and silver grain of the household department makes people's hearts beat faster.

Whether it is the Son of Heaven or several elders in the cabinet, no matter who is not at ease to hand over the household department to others, and only the old-fashioned and honest Chen Ding is in charge of the household department, everyone can rest assured.

Now that Chen Ding has opened his mouth to ensure the issue of grain and grass, everyone naturally does not worry about anything else, and what they have to consider is how to deploy troops.

Han Kun, Cheng Xiangwu and other generals were also invited to discuss the matter with Yang Yiqing and several cabinet elders at this time.

If this was in the past, the power would have been in the hands of the civilian clique, and any war would have nothing to do with these martial arts.

As a martial artist, he has lost his right to speak above the court and has become a puppet of the civil official group, and everything is planned by these literati.

However, with the rise of the Wuxun group, above the court, the civil and military sides check and balance each other, and the power of Wuxun has reached a balance with the civilian group.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies itself is a means specially used by the Great Emperor to check and balance the military department, and the civil and military forces check and balance each other, whether it is Han Kun or Cheng Xiangwu, these giants in the army, are all suspended in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Yang Yiqing looked at Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun, and said slowly: "The generals don't know if they have anything to say?" ”

Han Kun glanced at Xiang Wu and the others, and heard Han Kun smile and said, "I believe in Lord Shoufu, if Lord Shoufu has any orders, just give the order." ”

In Han Kun's opinion, Yang Yiqing can also be regarded as a representative of the Wuxun Group, so he didn't say anything, and directly expressed his support for Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing looked at several other people, such as Cheng Xiangwu and several martial artists, all of whom were like Han Kun, and they were quite convinced of Yang Yiqing.

If this were Chen Ding or Wang Hua, who had no military merits, or other pavilion elders, I was afraid that Han Kun would not be so easy to talk to.

Yang Yiqing pondered slightly, and quickly ordered his decision, and Han Kun, Cheng Xiangwu and the others had no objections.

It's just a foreign race, and it comes across the ocean, like a duckweed without roots, and no one treats it as a big problem.

Think about it, the Ming Dynasty only conquered Dongying, which was close at hand, and dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops one after another, even so, it still did not completely pacify the land of Dongying.

In comparison, the power dispatched by the Great Ming was far stronger than the power of these alien races, whether it was Yang Yiqing or Han Kun, they didn't believe that this group of enemies could appear near the Jingshi.

Qingtian Town.

Cheng Yan, who retreated from the port, gathered a group of people and horses, and they were full of thousands of people, but now there are almost more than 800 people gathered.

This number is quite staggering, after all, there is chaos in the retreat, if this is placed on other armies, it is impossible to say that this retreat will directly evolve into a rout, not to mention that after the retreat, it can still gather eighty or ninety percent of the men and horses, even if it can gather more than half of the men and horses, it is very rare.

Cheng Yan looked at the neatly arranged alien coalition troops in the distance through the clairvoyant mirror, slowly coming with neat steps to the beat of the drums.

In such a situation, generals such as Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong had seen and fought with the musketeers of Portugal and the Netherlands, but Cheng Yan and others had never seen such a formation.

A hundred-household officer looked at the slowly advancing infantry in the distance and couldn't help but show a puzzled look and said: "These people can't be stupid, aren't they so neatly arranged, aren't they afraid of being charged by cavalry and covered by a rain of arrows?" ”

Not only did this hundred-household official have such doubts, but even Cheng Yan looked at the neatly arranged team with considerable puzzlement.

No matter how confused he was in his heart, but the enemy gradually pressed up, Cheng Yan reacted unhurriedly and shouted: "Everyone prepare!" ”

As Cheng Yan's words fell, he suddenly saw arrows and firearms locked onto the neatly arranged phalanx with steady steps in front of him.
