Chapter 393: The King Who Was Deceived by Oraza
"Don't forget the original intention, remember the mission!"
The students in the audience blushed one by one and roared loudly with all their strength.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the faces in the audience, whether familiar or unfamiliar.
Perhaps some of them will be corrupted and turned into a scourge.
Maybe some of them will be mediocre and unproductive.
Perhaps some of them will be cowardly and flee.
But it doesn't hinder it, at this moment, they can really go to the soup for the sake of Daming.
That's what education is for.
Zhu Youzhen's speech instantly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
The next step was to receive the learning results, and the students made various presentations according to the prior rehearsals. And all the junior students were called to the scene to observe.
Individual competition, team competition, sand table drill.
Finally, the finale was the actual combat exercise.
The students were divided into red and blue sides, and used various tactics such as field battles, encounter battles, ambush battles, and siege warfare to attack each other.
Since the results of the exercise will be recorded in the assessment of the military department, all the students did their best to achieve the best performance.
The exercise ended with a victory for the Red side.
After that, the teachers of the whole school and the officials of the military department jointly scored and selected the ten best graduates among the students.
And Zhang Erhu is one of them.
Finally, Zhu Youzhen presented the graduation certificate and the outstanding graduate certificate, and finally attended the graduation dinner.
When he ordered someone to carry out twenty pieces of Moutai, the entire military academy was boiling.
When I returned to the palace, it was already night.
He didn't drink less, but his mind was very clear.
After taking a sip of the sobering tea brewed by Wang Chengen, Zhu Youzhen leaned on the back of the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a day in a military school, it would be false to say that you are not tired.
But the mood is extremely happy.
"Wang Banban, if my officers in the Ming Dynasty were all military cadets with such outstanding abilities, what would become of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Hooray, slave maid doesn't know. For the slave maid cannot think of any other words than invincibility."
"Hahaha~"
Because of the drinking, the time was not early, and Zhu Youzhen rested in the Qianqing Palace.
When Zhu Youzhen fell asleep calmly, on the other side of the world, in the royal palace in Mexico City.
The great Habsburg King Felipe IV had just gotten up and started to eat breakfast.
In fact, he has other titles.
For example, when the lord of South Jutland, the Duke of Brabant, was called Philip V.
Another example is when he was the king of Portugal, he was called Felipe III.
He inherited a powerful empire with vast territory, but it continued to decline during his tenure.
Although he did a lot of things, it still didn't seem to be very effective.
He finished his breakfast quietly, took the silk handkerchief that the waiter had prepared and brought back from the long sea voyage to the far east, wiped his mouth gracefully, and stood up.
He's going to meet with someone today.
People who came back from Luzon.
Although he didn't see it, his mood was extremely bad.
Because I heard from the people below that he fled back, and Luzon seems to have been captured by the Ming Dynasty? ….
He rode in a carriage to the palace specially used to receive ministers, and ordered the defeated general who had been waiting all night to be called.
"Great Your Majesty, I'm back." Franco knelt down on one knee and said respectfully at Felipe IV.
He looked embarrassed, his hair was messy, his clothes were filthy, and he could smell a fishy stench from afar.
Felipe IV frowned.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Your Majesty, the Ming people set a trap and deliberately bought us a large reduction in production in the second season
and then secretly supported the Luzon Native rebellion. Finally, they took the opportunity to attack us and took the city of Manila, and our forces in Luzon were completely wiped out!"
With a sad look on his face, Franco briefly recounted everything that had happened last year.
"What seed?"
"Rice."
"Why go to them and buy seeds?"
"Their rice yields up to 1,000 pounds per mu!"
"A thousand pounds per mu? Franco, no matter how stupid I am, I won't be deceived by you like this, right?" Felipe IV frowned, on the verge of anger.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true, when I went to Taiwan Island to buy seeds, I arranged for Lord Oraza to go with me! He bought it with his consent. If he returns, he can testify for me! How dare I deceive His Majesty the Great King!"
Franco looked up at Felipe IV and swore an oath.
"Orraza agreed to buy it?"
Seeing that Franco meant what he said, Felipe IV also had a trace of doubt in his heart.
Oraza is back, but that's not what he said.
In Oraza's words, he did a good job in Luzon, and for the sake of national interests, he also clashed with Nicholas Yiguan, the Taiwanese general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and repelled an attack by Nicholas Yiguan. Just as he was fending off Nicholas Ichikan's second attack and was about to push them back. Serezo arrived, and took over Manila with soldiers and new, new-style warships that had just been built. Manila had no place for himself, and had no choice but to return to his home country with his family in embarrassment.
In his words, the image of a competent governor who was always in the interests of the country and not afraid of sacrifice appeared in the mind of Felipe IV. He also regretted it for a few days, feeling that he should not have a hot head, and appointed Serezo as governor.
If Oraza's image is as bright as he says it is, then Franco must be lying.
To say that what Franco said is true, then Oraza is lying to himself.
"Franco, Oraza once repelled the attack of Taiwan's commander-in-chief, Nicholas Yiguan?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Nicholas Yiguan did lead troops outside Manila Bay, but the reason was because Lord Oraza promised to sell some of the grain to Daming after promising a high yield of rice when he bought the seeds. But later, Lord Oraza saw that the grain yield was high, and broke the contract again, and was unwilling to sell it to Daming again. Nicholas Yiguan was in a hurry, so he led his troops to the mouth of Manila Bay to exert pressure, and in the end, Lord Oraza was helpless, and then sold all the grain to Nicolas Yiguan, and he also cheated 500,000 taels of silver."
......
"Did you attack again?"
"Yes. Although the Ming people have long coveted Luzon, they have always been hidden in the shadows. The reason why they attacked Manila with great fanfare was because there was a rebellion in Luzon, and Lord Oraza sent me to quell the rebellion, and I was unable to suppress the rebellion myself. In the end, he had no choice but to turn to Nicholas Yiguan, and promised to sell them a portion of the rice after the harvest.
As a result, who knew that the rice yield of the season had been reduced completely, and the yield per mu was no more than 100 pounds, and Lord Oraza could not get any grain, and Nicholas Yiguan was annoyed and ashamed, and felt that he had been tricked. landed directly with the fleet from Dagupan and attacked Manila from land."
"When Oraza came back, wasn't he about to defeat Nicholas Ichiguan? Why did you fall again?"
"Huh?" Franco was stunned.
