Chapter 115: The sun and the moon never set in the sky

Chongzhen pushed all the way along the coastline until he reached the four northern islands.

And then it turns back.

This time, instead of going south, the fleet crossed directly westward, entered the Bohai Sea, landed at Tianjin, and then returned to Beijing.

At this time, Chongzhen has been leaving Beijing for more than half a month.

This trip not only quelled the Zheng family, but also recovered Macao and Taiwan, and swept away Japan.

When Chongzhen returned to Beijing and announced the matter above the court, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that Chongzhen had done so many things just after going out for a few days?

Soon, this news also spread all over the world through the Di newspaper.

Today's Di Bao is the official mouthpiece, specializing in publicizing such news and promoting Chongzhen's great achievements.

When the world saw the news of Di Bao, the whole country was boiling.

Everyone doesn't care about Macau, and everyone is not familiar with Dutch red-haired ghosts. However, for Japan, for the Japanese who raided the southeast coast all year round. People hated it so much.

At that time, General Qi fought hard for many years, and only briefly repelled the Japanese invaders. It wasn't long before the Japanese made a comeback.

It can be said that the Japanese are a piece of moss that cannot be cured. Every year, I don't know how many people die at the hands of the Japanese invaders, and countless gold and silver goods are robbed.

If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese would not be able to fight for a long time, they could only loot and retreat in waves. The threat of the Japanese to the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be weaker than that of the Manchu Tartars.

And now, even the entire Wa Kingdom has been wiped out, and it is impossible for the Wako to appear again in the future.

How can the world not be happy about this?

In the southeast coastal area, firecrackers have been set off in every household.

Originally, they who had not suffered the humiliation of the Tartars in the south, and they did not worship the emperor Chongzhen very much, but at this time, every family also offered the immortal position.

These are subtle changes, Chongzhen doesn't know. At this time, he was in Beijing, vigorously expanding the navy and training the navy.

Do not think that the northerners are not water-sensitive, and the navy must be recruited from the south. In the north, there are countless fishermen in the Bohai Sea region. These people, however, deal with the sea all year round, and their familiarity with the sea is no worse than that of the old sailors on the southeast coast.

Since the reform of the army, being a soldier has become the envy of everyone. In the past, many of these fishermen wanted to join the army, but most of them did not qualify, which made them envious of those who served as soldiers in the interior. But now their chance has come. Recruit the navy, who can compare to them?

For a time, the entire coast was blowing a wave of joining the army.

Soon, the Ming Navy recruited tens of thousands of people.

These people live at sea and deal with the ocean all year round, and they don't need to be trained in marine knowledge at all.

It is only necessary to train them in combat ability.

Therefore, the formation speed of the Ming Navy is very fast.

Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that Chongzhen has exchanged a lot of military training methods from the system.

Even, sometimes, Chongzhen personally went into battle to train and demonstrate.

Especially the operation of warships、This is something that must be taught to the subordinates。 After all, Chongzhen couldn't follow the navy to fight in the ocean all the time. As an emperor, it was his job to govern the country.

What made Chongzhen feel relieved was that Zheng Sen was really a talent, and he worked hard to master the operation of the warship as quickly as possible.

Chongzhen kept his promise and handed over the "Sunrise" to Zheng Sen for management.

The "Sunrise" was the first warship, and it was already a great achievement.

In addition, there are two warships that were rewarded by the system after the destruction of Japan, which were named "Mingyue" and "Victory" respectively.

There is the meaning that the sun and the moon are in the sky, and every battle will be won.

Of these three warships, the "Sunrise" was handed over to Zheng Sen, and the "Victory" was handed over to the Red Lady. Originally, I wanted to give the bright moon to the Red Lady, but the Red Lady disliked the lady and had to win the number.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on July 1, the "Sunrise" and "Victory" led 300 warships, a total of 10,000 navies, and 3,000 Shenji battalions to the south, through the South China Sea, into the Indian Ocean, swept through India, and sent troops to Europe.

And the Mingyue was handed over to a general named Yu Zhongming. This person is a descendant of the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Dayou, an official to the deputy commander-in-chief, proficient in naval warfare and loyal. Chongzhen sent him to lead a hundred warships north, through the Bering Strait, to the Americas.

"Wherever there is a place where the sun rises and the moon sets, it is necessary to plant the banner of my Daming!" This is Chongzhen's order to Yu Zhongming before leaving.

......

After seeing off the navy, Chongzhen finally began to work on domestic affairs.

The first thing to be tackled is the thief.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others have long been grasshoppers after the autumn, and only a few shrimp soldiers and crabs will hide in the mountains. I've been fighting guerrillas, and I've had a bit of a headache.

Chongzhen ordered that only the head of the thief chief should be taken, and the others would not be blamed in the past.

Within two days, the heads of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were sent to the government by the rebels on their own initiative.

In this way, the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty was easily quelled.

Then, Chongzhen ordered the promotion of improved seeds.

In the whole country, in the south, hybrid rice is cultivated. High-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are seeded in the north.

At first, the people were more or less resistant. After all, it's something that has never been seen before, and who knows what the yield will be?

However, Chongzhen recovered the territory of various vassal kings, and liquidated the fields of dignitaries and squires and tyrants. Eighty or ninety percent of the world's land has been state-owned.

In addition to those who were distributed to the soldiers who had meritorious service in battle, there were still six or seventy percent left.

All of these state-owned lands are Chongzhen's own, and he can plant whatever he wants. And those soldiers who relied on their exploits to obtain fields had long regarded Chongzhen as a god, and Chongzhen said whatever he wanted, and they would plant whatever Chongzhen wanted. Even the emperor grows sweet potatoes, is it possible, the emperor can still make himself suffer?

In this way, eighty or ninety percent of the land of the Ming Dynasty was planted with high-yield crops in accordance with Chongzhen's ideas.

And the rest of them are basically some conservative squires and tyrants, who originally resented Chongzhen for harvesting their fields, and they would not plant according to the requirements, but as usual.

As a result, wait until the time of the autumn harvest. Those fields that have been planted with good seeds have all had a bumper harvest, with a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu, while those fields of the squires and tyrants have a yield of only more than 300 catties per mu. At this time, these squires and tyrants regretted not being at the beginning. And those, the common people who obeyed the official policy, all had a good harvest and had a good year.

Half a year later, the Bright Moon, which had left for the Americas, turned back and brought back a large amount of gold and precious stones. They went all the way to South America, and indeed according to what Chongzhen said, they wiped the banner of the Ming Dynasty all over every corner.

A year later, the fleet that had gone on an expedition to Europe turned back, and they not only conquered Europe, but also fought all the way to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.

From then on, the world surrendered. Wherever there is a sunrise and a moonset, all the flags of the Ming Dynasty are planted.
