"I'm afraid that if I am not reformed by them in Donglin Academy, I will die violently in Donglin Academy, right?"

Zhang Gui said coldly.

After hearing this, Han Jue also frowned and nodded: "What Enfu said is that the key now is to quickly think of a way to deal with the interruption of the next grain; As long as the grain is fine, then the Jingshi will be fine; Jingshi is fine, Daming is fine; Da Ming is fine, and Enfu is naturally fine. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Gui patted Han Jue on the shoulder: "You're right!" For the sake of the teacher, you went to Shandong overnight, and you bought grain in my name in Beijing. ”

"Yes!"

Han Jue agreed first, and said: "Enfu, most of the land in the world is controlled by powerful bureaucrats, and now that this is happening, I am afraid they are unwilling to sell us grain." ”

"If you want to buy it, you will buy it first, and ask so much why do you do it."

Zhang Guidao.

"Grandpa Wei asks to see!"

At this time, the doorman suddenly came to report that Wei Zhongxian was here.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui hurriedly said to Han Jue: "This eunuch must have asked for a way to be a teacher, and the teacher was too lazy to explain to him, and for the teacher to go through the back door, you go to receive him, tell him, and say that I went to raise food, and it is estimated that I will not come back in a short time, so let him rest assured that his head will not fall." ”

With that, Zhang Gui left here.

And it didn't take long for Han Jue to ask Wei Zhongxian to come in.

As soon as Wei Zhongxian came in, he asked Han Jue, "Where is Uncle Guo?" ”

Han Jue said: "The teacher left Beijing to raise food, and said that he would not come back in a short time. ”

"Uncle Guo won't be hiding, will he?!"

Wei Zhongxian asked excitedly, and then paused on the spot and said, "Uncle Guo, how can he hide!" ”

"You are angry, the teacher really left Beijing to raise food."

Han Jue replied with a smile.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Uncle Guo, how can he raise food?" Most of the food in my Ming Dynasty is in whose hands, our family is in charge of the celebrant supervisor, but it is very clear! What kind of food can Uncle Guo raise?! ”

As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian began to smash the table: "Uncle Guo, he can hide, but what about our family, our family has no roots, where can we go without the inner court." When the time comes, as soon as the grain is cut off, there will be a mess, and our family will fall to the ground! ”

Wei Zhongxian wiped the corners of his eyes as he spoke.

Seeing this, Han Jue had no choice but to say, "Enfu let me tell you, don't worry, he will raise food." ”

"Can he raise it?"

Wei Zhongxian suddenly asked.

Han Jue nodded, and then asked with a smile, "Doesn't my father-in-law want to raise food for Enfu?" ”

"That's it!"

Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said: "You tell Uncle Guo for our family that if you can't get all the grain to Beijing next year, our family will hang yourself in front of Uncle Guo's mansion at that time!" ”

As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian threw up his sleeves and left.

Zhang Gui arrived in Dengzhou, Shandong a few days later.

It turned out that when Zhang Gui said that the Apocalypse set up the Martial Arts Academy, he also set up the Sailor Academy as a branch of the Martial Arts Academy.

The Sailor School is located in Denglai, and Shen Yourong is the chief teacher of the school.

Zhang Gui knows that sea power will become more and more important with the development of the whole world, and naturally he cannot ignore the importance of sea power.

Therefore, as early as a year ago, Zhang Gui said that the Apocalypse asked Shen Yourong to train the officers and students of the Sailor Academy, and to rectify the Denglai Naval Division and build a giant ship in Weihaiwei.

However, everyone in the world only thought that the imperial court was only targeting Jiannu in training sailors and building giant ships in Denglai.

But in fact, Zhang Gui persuaded Tianqi to do this, not just to deal with Jiannu.

"How are the enlisted students of the Sailor Academy trained, and how are the battleships being built?"

Because Zhang Gui was the commander of the Martial Arts Academy, and the dock where the warship was built in Denglai directly belonged to the Industrial Department of the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, Zhang Gui could ask Shen Yourong about the military administration in this regard.

After Zhang Gui asked, Shen Yourong also replied: "In accordance with your instructions, more than 500 trainees have been trained, and in addition, according to your requirements, 30 soft sailing boats have been built. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Gui nodded: "Have these thirty soft sailing ships ever tried a long-distance voyage?" ”

Shen Yourong replied: "I have tried to go to North Korea, it is indeed more suitable for sailing at sea than a hard sailing boat, especially this spinnaker, which is very conducive to steering, and it is also a loss to Uncle Guo You can figure it out!" If you hadn't told the lowly office, the lowly job would not have known this after so many years. ”

"Is there enough to recruit the widows?"

Zhang Gui asked.

Zhang Gui knew that Shen Yourong was a famous Ming general who fought against the Japanese at sea, and he and the governor Jin Xuezeng had plotted to prepare for an attack on the Japanese slave territory during the Wanli period, but this plan was later shelved.

However, after Zhang Gui summoned Shen Yourong to Beijing to participate in the training of sailor trainees in the Wubei Academy, he asked Shen Yourong about his and Jin Xuezeng's plan to attack the Japanese slave homeland.

What Zhang Gui didn't expect was that Shen Yourong had already asked the children of his family to explore the navigation situation of the Japanese slaves in Edo and Nagasaki in the past, as well as the defense of the Japanese slaves in the local navy.

Therefore, Zhang Gui had already said that the Apocalypse had ordered Shen Yourong to rectify the Denglai Sailors in Denglai to prepare for the Japanese, and to prepare for the future conquest of the Japanese, and allocated 1 million taels of money for silver.

"Enough! The Japanese slave sailors were not as good as the current dynasty. What's more, Uncle Guo, you also helped the Denglai Sailor to add so many faster soft sails, and also asked the Ordnance Department to provide a huge cannon that can shoot a mile away, and now the Expedition will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on its Sailor. ”

Shen Yourong replied.

Zhang Gui nodded: "With the words of the old general, the governor is even more relieved!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui suddenly turned around, looked at Shen Yourong who was walking behind him seriously, and said, "There is a will!" Denglai Chief Soldier and Chief Instructor of the Wubei Water Master Academy Xi Shen Yourong received the order! ”

Shen Yourong stood in place, and after hearing Zhang Gui say "there is a will", he immediately bowed to the ground.

"The officers and soldiers of the Denglai Naval Division were all incorporated into the West Factory, and Shen Yourong was appointed as the chief military officer in charge of the West Factory, commanding the official school of the West Factory Naval Division, supervising the affairs of the world's maritime trade, and listening to the commander of the Qin Mission, Zhang Gui of the West Factory!"

After Zhang Gui read out the holy decree, he handed it over to Shen Yourong.

"The minister takes the order!"

After Shen Yourong returned, he received the order and got up.

After Shen Yourong got up, Zhang Gui said again: "This will is to prepare for the next conquest of the Japanese, this conquest can only be completed by the West Factory in the name of rectifying the trade of the world, and you will immediately prepare for the conquest of the Japanese, and then lead the fleet of the Denglai Naval Division to go to the Japanese slave Edo with the governor." ”

"Yes!"

In the second year, that is, in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, in early summer, after the southwest monsoon began to appear, Zhang Gui personally led the Denglai Navy Division under Shen Yourong to the East Ocean on more than 50 warships, including 30 soft sailing ships.

As soon as he arrived at Edo Bay, Zhang Gui asked Shen Yourong to lead a fleet to directly bombard Edo Castle, intending to force the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo to negotiate with him.

Except for Nagasaki and Hirado, where the Tokugawa shogunate allowed foreign countries to trade with the Japanese, the rest of the country was closed to the outside world, and before that, there was no foreign naval division to attack, and after Tokugawa Ieyasu, the entire Japanese kingdom began to settle down, and the naval division degraded even more.

Therefore, now that dozens of sail warships of the Ming Dynasty were suddenly bombarded in a battle line, the shogunate was caught off guard at all, and its sailors were wiped out not long after.

The shogunate had to yard the army on the shore to prepare for the resistance of the official academy of the Daming West Factory.

However, the official schools of the Daming West Factory are all elite of the established system, which cannot be dealt with by the shogunate army that has already begun to fight with Wen Tian and Wu Xi.

Soon after the officials at Nishichang landed, they defeated the shogunate army that had come to defend them.

The official school of the West Factory succeeded in approaching Edo Castle, and sent a captured flag into Edo Castle and informed the Shogunate that Zhang Gui, the uncle of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to summon the Japanese Shogun to inquire about illegal trade.

"Illegal trade?"

Tokugawa Hidetada, the father of the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu and now the de facto controller of the shogunate, was shocked to learn that the Ming army had come to settle the problem of illegal trade.
