became Annan's agreement and sent away Li Wenjing, who was full of depression.

Zhu Jun's mood suddenly brightened, the Ming Dynasty has been active in the South Seas, and now it is about to occupy Luzon, an important base leading to the East, and insert a chess piece in the center of the long and narrow flat shoulder of Vietnam's territory, and then Guangxi's Beibu Gulf and Hainan Island will form a tight sea route network, which can not only promote its maritime trade access, but also gain a firm foothold in the East militarily. It can go north along the coastline of the southeast coast and harass the rear of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it can also threaten North Korea. North Korea repaid tribute under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

"Come, get breakfast. Today, I would like to have breakfast with the four Aiqing. Zhu Jun was in a big mood. Okay, he ordered the little eunuch, and then looked back and fell on the four commanders who were sitting on the side of the cabin: "Sit down, don't have this." So many rules, haha, I'm not a flood beast, you guys. is a general who kills people without seeing blood, is there anything to be afraid of. ”

The four of them cautiously approached one. Some, a few little eunuchs helped them move the stool and moved closer, and then sat on the side of Zhu Jun again, Zhu Jun said with great interest: "I see this method is good, although the countries of Nanyang pay tribute, but they are all riding on the wall grass, when I return to Haidu, go to Wanyi Pavilion to invite all the envoys to the palace, let the Ming army clear pirates for the various vassal countries, each vassal country must give up a base, not too much, a radius of 100 miles is enough, in this way, Nanyang is everywhere is the supply point of my Ming water division, There are commercial ports of Nanming everywhere, and there are soldiers and garrisons of my Ming Dynasty everywhere, not to mention pirates, even if there is a vassal country and no minister, he is not afraid of how long he can toss. ”

"My Emperor Shengming, this is a good idea!" Liu Er smiled and nodded: "Every vassal country has a Ming army stationed, if it is a true king, it is natural to sit back and relax, after all, as long as they are a hundred miles away, the Ming army can also help them protect the country and eliminate the thieves, if there is a man-made counter-rebellion, the Ming garrison can also be dispatched to quell the rebellion, they naturally will not have any opinions." Those who have ghosts in their hearts, even if they are not dissatisfied, they do not dare not agree, with the Ming army stationed, they do not dare to act rashly, otherwise the elite Ming army can immediately destroy their country and punish them for not being subordinate. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Zhu Jun nodded, his idea was the integration model of the United States and Britain in later generations, and those who surrendered would be stationed on the territory of the country according to Uncle Sam's method, firstly, they could establish a seaport on the garrison's hundred miles of land and collect taxes and silver, and secondly, they could also strengthen the Ming army's control over the South Seas. If anyone is not convinced, then Uncle John's method will work, directly occupy their territory, move it to a county, and set up three divisions under its jurisdiction. Honesty and obedience are my allies, I will send the Ming army to protect your safety, in exchange, you must pay a hundred miles of land to the Ming Dynasty, and those who do not listen to the words will adopt the three-light policy, eliminate all the royal families in the country, quell all rebellions, use the worst means to conquer him, use the most despicable means to divide him, there must not be any dragging, both grace and power, such a truth. Gone are the days when the Celestial Empire unconditionally gave the vassal kingdom the benefits to the vassal kingdom, and now the vassal kingdoms have only two choices, either submit or be conquered!

The four commanders are all soldiers, and they naturally do not have the gentleness and pedantry of Wenchen's behavior in this kind of 'rough' behavior, and their faces are very excited, for them, the sky is high and the sea is vast, if they do it according to the emperor's wishes, then the territory of the Ming Dynasty will continue to expand under their iron hooves, and the barbarian country will not be wanted? Doesn't the wild land work? It is the duty of a soldier to take all the orders, to ask for what can be asked for, and to grab what cannot be asked.

After Liu Guoxuan was excited, a burst of worry passed over his face: "Your Majesty, although this strategy is good, the number of Ming troops plus the Dingbei Army is only seventy or eighty thousand, such a vast sea territory, if only these people are distributed in various garrisons, it will inevitably be overwhelmed, not to mention that the Northern Expedition will need a lot of troops in the future, I am afraid that there is more than enough, and the strength is insufficient." ”

Zhu Jun restrained his smile and said: "Liu Aiqing is right, the recruitment of recruits in the Ming army will be accelerated, I have already made a plan to post a recruitment list in Yunnan, the training of the new army will also be accelerated, and the second phase of the students of the martial arts hall will also be in full swing, right?" Hundreds of households, even the chief and other junior officers can let them serve temporarily, we can take over the land, and then build a wharf and military port, and after it is completed, it will be a matter of the future. ”

The commanders nodded again and again, and after a while, the little eunuch brought a few bowls of millet porridge, it was really difficult to enjoy the food on the boat, and it was the highest treatment to be able to eat sweet rice porridge, Zhu Jun beckoned everyone to move his chopsticks, and he felt hungry, so he raised the silver soup and ate it.

"Come on, go to the next decree to the cabinet, ask them how the projects are going, and the development zone will be expanded, and now there are only two university scholars in Haidu, so let them work harder, and there can be no slack." Zhu Jun chewed the rice porridge, and there was still a faint fragrance of rice between his mouths, and suddenly remembered that there were still many projects to be done in Haidu

He couldn't help but raise his head again and let the little eunuch give an order.

…

The next day dawned. The sea breeze whined on the surface of the sea. The tide crashes on the beach and rumbles to the wind. The expeditionary flotilla arrived in the Gulf of Tonkin . In the midst of the sound of drums and trumpets and shouts. The ships began to anchor and dock. The draft of the large ship is deeper. Therefore, it should not be too close to the coast. Otherwise, it is easy to run aground. Therefore. All the warships were docked within a nautical mile of the beach. The officers and men of the Ming army at the landing site put down their small landing craft. Boats were rowed to bring people and supplies to the shore one by one.

In order to prevent and control the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Jinxia Navy Division once issued an order to seal the sea. All coastal settlements, urban and rural areas shall be abolished and destroyed. All the populations moved inland. Therefore. In this bay. And no one knew about the arrival of the fleet. The Ming soldiers rolled up their trouser legs. Holding on to the sleeves of the army, he kept going back and forth. Boatloads of soldiers were transported to the coast. A shipload of supplies was also brought to the shore. Zhu Jun, Zhang Youde, and Wang Qiu landed on the beach under the support of a team of guards. Looking at the hundreds of warships docked in the sea. This is the family of the Daming water master. An hour later. Wait for 20,000 sneak attacks on Guangxi, and all the main forces will land on the shore. They will go their separate ways. All the way south to capture Luzon. All the way to the shore on Hainan Island. Attack the Qing Dynasty's 'Qiongzhou Mansion', where it was established. Eight counties in Hainan in the Qing Dynasty. However, the troops in the garrison are weak. The indigenous people in the area are very powerful. Moreover, there are some anti-Qing organizations on the island. As long as the Nanyang sailors arrive. Zhu Jun believes that it is only a matter of time before Hainan is recovered. Once Hainan fell. Then, this island, which is adjacent to Guangxi and Guangdong, will surely become a gratifying and serious problem for guarding Guangdong. Under the situation that it is difficult to protect the land. There was no dare to send troops to help Guangxi.

"Wang Qiu. You first lead the death battalion to Nanning Mansion. I sat on the Chinese army and then arrived.

Zhu Jun turned his head sideways. Ordered Wang Qiu.

"Yes!" King. Autumn immediately ran to the other side of the beach, where the death battalion was already ready.

"Zhang Youde." Zhu Junmu. The light fell on the burly middle-aged military general beside him: "I order you to lead a team of brave battalions to raid Liuzhou, Wuzhou and other cities, if you can, you can win, if you can't win, you must ensure that you can retreat, as long as you can fatigue the Qing army in Liuzhou, Wuzhou and other places, so that you can." ”

"The last will obey." Zhang Yes. De also went to prepare.

King. Qiu's death battalion has only more than 1,000 people, all of them are battle-hardened warriors, each of them has a proud history on the battlefield, each of them has at least a bronze medal on their chests, after receiving the order, they quickly prepared, each of them only brought three days of food, under the command of Wang Qiu, quickly marched north.

By noon, they had arrived at Beihai City. Beihai City obviously did not make any preparations in advance, the doorman at the city gate lazily wore shabby clothes, carrying an old waist knife and leaning against the wall, and the small traders and people entering the city gradually entered the city under the scorching sun.

This one. At that time, the men found that there was a commotion among the people entering the city in the distance, and some people were desperately squeezing forward, constantly muttering the dialect of Guangxi.

"Damn, it's the other way around, Ye Zhen is here. Are there still rioters here? A foreign commissioner who had arrived at the south gate of the city hurriedly drove the general out of the city gate, and came out of the door with a scolding spirit. He waved his horsewhip, pointed to a few men at the gate of the city, and said, "What are you still doing, go and take those troublesome people." ”

Several doormen straddled the knife and chirped a thousand times, turned around and walked out of the city, the people outside the city became more and more chaotic, the black pressure drilled into the doorway, a few doormen pulled out the knife, so that the people who ran in front of them paused, and wanted to run out of the city, someone yelled in official language: "Official, let us enter the city, the Ming army is coming." ”

This sentence is like a bomb that exploded in the crowd, a few doormen snorted and wiped their shoes and ran into the city, and the people behind also poured in, there were children's cries, there were women's screams, and the general of the foreign committee who scolded just now disappeared, only to hear him shout: "Close the city gate, go to the county government to tell the county lord, and wait to defend the city." As soon as the words fell, the foreign commissioner had already run out a few feet away.

After a while, when Wang Qiu, who rushed to the front, rushed to the city gate with a fire bolt on his back and a spear in his hand, the city gate was still wide open, and there was not even a ghost, everyone ran clean, but the city was noisy, and there were voices of crying fathers and mothers everywhere.

"Go to the county office, Wang Xiaobao, you take a few people to post an order." Wang Qiu was very depressed and carried the spear, damn, what kind of battle is this, it is simply a long-distance running competition in the Olympic Games.

The crowd of the black-pressed death camp quickly rushed along the long street towards the county office, and the pedestrians dodged one after another, and many people with their burdens watched in horror as this group of black-clad soldiers passed by, and only exhaled when they learned that they were not going for them.
