Li Zicheng, who was far away in Shanxi, was anxious, and Zheng Zhibao in the Beijing Normal School was also anxious.

Although Zheng Sen was a little nervous, he was still able to suppress his emotions strongly, and he followed closely by Chongzhen's side, thinking about the emperor's intentions in his heart.

"Zheng Sen, what do you want?" Zhu Youjian's voice came slowly.

Zheng Sen was taken aback, and didn't dare to reply truthfully, "The minister is wondering if he can use a grenade in a naval battle." ”

"Yes." Zhu Youjian's voice was flat, "Do you think that this kind of high-level secret weapon will be allocated to the Fujian sailors who supported the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Zheng Sen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down, "My father must be bewitched, he has always been loyal to the emperor!" ”

"Looks like you know." Zhu Youjian said lightly.

Zheng Sen knew that he had said the wrong thing when he heard this, but he just knocked his head on the ground and did not move.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Youjian didn't pay attention to it, nor did he speak, and after a long time, he slowly spoke:

"I have always known Zheng Zhilong's loyalty, otherwise, you and Zheng Zhibao would have been thrown into death row long ago. Get up. ”

"Emperor Xie trusts!" Zheng Sen was short of breath, kowtowed three times, and slowly got up.

In the distance, Zheng Zhibao saw Zheng Sen kneeling, and his heart was half cold. When Zheng Sen kowtowed, his forehead touched the ground for a long time, and he thought that today was the time of death.

The clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat, "My brother, you have made me and Fusong miserable, knowing that we are in Beijing, can't you wait for two days to support King Fu!" ”

Zheng Sen stood up, didn't dare to say more, just bowed his head.

"Land warfare and water warfare are different." Zhu Youjian was silent for a long time before speaking again.

When Zheng Sen heard this, he immediately raised his head.

"There are many opportunities for the army to meet in hand-to-hand combat, and they are all phalanx charges, and the lethality of grenades is very considerable. However, in water warfare, except when seizing ships, enemy and enemy ships rarely reach a distance of tens of paces. And mortars, in turn, require a relatively stable chassis, which is not easy to hit enemy ships on ships. ”

"What the sailors need more is artillery, artillery that can sink enemy ships!" Zhu Youjian said firmly.

Hearing Chongzhen say this, Zheng Sen was very surprised, he didn't expect Chongzhen to also know about water warfare.

"Do you know how long my new Furlong cannon has?" Zhu Youjian asked.

Zheng Sen knew the Fran cannon very well, but Chongzhen said that it was a new type, and he didn't dare to guess, so he just shook his head and said nothing.

"Heh, the range is at least 1200 steps!"

"What? So far! ”

"If a battleship is equipped with 20 new franc cannons, and a salvo is not needed, the enemy ship will surely sink! At that time, both the Dutch and the Spaniards will obediently lie at the feet of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian said arrogantly.

Zheng Sen knew very well the power of the Hongyi people, and knew that the Dutch occupied Taiwan, and the Spaniards occupied more islands in the South Seas.

They had a strong gun, but they couldn't do it at a range of 1,200 paces, and if my father's sailors could really deploy this new gun, then ......

Thinking of this, Zheng Sen was depressed again, although he said that Zheng Zhilong was bewitched, but he knew his father's character very well, and it must have been his father's own idea to support the Tang King, and he didn't even care about the safety of his younger brother and son for his own unrealistic fantasies.

Seeing that Zheng Sen's eyes were disillusioned, Zhu Youjian probably guessed his thoughts, but he couldn't point it out now.

One is because Zheng Zhilong's naval division has considerable combat power, which is one of the foundations of the Ming Navy in the future.

In addition, Zheng Sen can't be pushed away, even if Zheng Zhilong refuses to be attached, he has to take out some of the warships from the Zheng family.

Not to mention crossing the sea to attack the Liaodong Peninsula, nor to recovering Taiwan and taking a series of islands from the Bering Sea to the South Seas in the future.

Just talking about the shipping of military rations, we need the support of the Fujian Navy Division.

"Zheng Sen, do you know the Battle of Songjin?"

"The minister knows."

The elite of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty was lost, Jinzhou was lost, and the line of the Great Wall became an empty shell.

But he didn't dare to say anything about such a defeat.

His eyes were lost, his face was gloomy, and he felt ashamed and worried about Da Ming's defeat from the bottom of his heart.

"Then do you know why Jianyu dared to attack my Ming Dynasty with the whole country's troops?" Zhu Youjian asked again.

"Jianyu leveled Liaodong, received North Korea, accepted Mongolia, invincible in the territory, and only my Ming Dynasty was an opponent outside the country.

However, if we want to contain the Japanese in the east, resist Qianghu in the west, appease Yungui in the south, guard against Mongolia in the north, and suppress bandits in the interior, we can only have an elite army deployed in Liaodong.

In the face of the soldiers who built the whole country, they must be powerless, so the captive chief Taiji dared to raise troops again and again. ”

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he was immediately impressed by Zheng Sen, at such an age, he had such a global understanding of the national situation, which was commendable.

"There's another important reason."

Zheng Sen listened, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”

"Because Jianyu has no worries."

Zheng Sen still frowned when he heard this, but he seemed to understand a little.

Zhu Youjian saw him frowning and thinking, did not continue, and waited quietly.

After a while, Zheng Sen seemed to have a sudden realization, knelt down again, and raised his fists high, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the Fujian Navy Division to attack the Liaodong Peninsula and take Lushun and other places, and then harass the rear of Jianyu and share the worries of the Jinzhou front!" ”

Zhu Youjian's eyes are bright, he is a good Zheng Chenggong, he is really a genius!

Just rely on the words "worries" to guess your strategic goals!

"Fuson, get up!"

Zheng Sen's heart was beating violently, what did the emperor call himself? Foson?

Zheng Zhibao just saw Zheng Sen get up and talk with Emperor Chongzhen very happily, and the heart that mentioned his throat and eyes was put back in his stomach.

This will see the nephew kneeling down and solemnly arching his fist, as if he is showing loyalty, and his heart is nervous, could it be that Chongzhen already knows that his brother supports the king of Tang?

Is Fuson showing his loyalty, begging to be spared death?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but crane his neck to look, his eyes full of anxiety.

Zhu Youjian saw Zheng Sen's excited expression and nodded slightly, "Okay!" You're so smart, so strategic, and so handsome! ”

"The emperor praises falsely!"

"The strategy you said is to repay the other in the other way, as long as you gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, drag the forces on the peninsula, or even annihilate them all, plus the current decline of the national strength of Jianyu, I believe that by this time next year, I will be able to destroy it."

Zheng Sen didn't know the real results of the Battle of Shanhaiguan and the Battle of Jinning before the month, and was a little surprised when he heard Chongzhen say that the strength of the Jianyu country was weak, but he didn't speak.

"The previous time I drove the expedition, first destroyed the 60,000 army of Jianguo in Shanhaiguan, and then took 70,000 Mongolian iron cavalry in Jinzhou, and now in addition to the Mongolian soldiers in the north of Zhangjiakou and the 20,000 partial divisions of Azig, I believe that Jianguo will not have many available soldiers.

When we go to destroy the Jianyu Division, they will have no troops to use, and the Mongols will definitely centrifuge. ”

Zhu Youjian said slowly, and took out a secret decree that had been prepared long ago from his arms.

"I appointed you as the commander of Lushun to deal with the naval and land battles in Liaodong, and your uncle Zheng Zhibao was the commander of Dengzhou and helped you in the rear.

You must leave for Fujian as soon as possible, explain the truth to your father and uncles, order a hundred warships, and take Lushun before the ice freezes this winter!

When the time comes, you will be able to read this secret decree in public, and I will announce your merits to the world! ”

Zheng Sen hurriedly raised his hands, solemnly accepted the secret decree, and shouted long live. I thought to myself, the emperor is so gracious, regardless of his previous suspicions, almost all the Daming Coast is handed over to the Zheng family, how can I not be justified in dying.

This time when I go back, if my father does not agree, I will kidnap him to carry out military advice, and I will also contribute to the smooth progress of the Liaodong Naval Battle!

Zheng Zhibao saw Zheng Sen kneeling down again, and he couldn't wait to rush over to ask about the situation, and when he saw what reward he received with both hands, he was relieved again.

At this time, he was overjoyed and sorrowful, his mood fluctuated up and down, and he estimated that he would lose ten years of life.

"Fusong, what did you say to the emperor, come back and tell Uncle Wei!"
