Zheng Zhilong smiled, with a relaxed face, and said: "It's just to take over the defense of Haojing, and the Portuguese don't dare to make a mistake." But the necessary coercion is indispensable. ”

The emperor did not have any plans to drive the Portuguese away in the short term, but instead expanded the commercial port of Guangzhou to promote the maritime trade to a more prosperous one.

A weakened Portugal was a European trading partner that the Ming Empire could grasp and trust. The reason is very simple, it does not pose a threat to the Ming Empire.

Moreover, instead of completely falling out with the Portuguese, the emperor's eyes were still on Malacca, which was occupied by the Portuguese.

With Portugal's strength, Malacca can't hold it. When the Dutch felt that they were strong enough in Asia and had a solid foundation, they would send troops to attack.

At that time, the Ming Empire could profit from the fishing and obtain the greatest benefits at the minimum cost.

Therefore, the Portuguese continued to live in the realm, and the emperor allowed it. However, defense affairs must be controlled by the Ming army, and government affairs must also be managed by the government.

This involved the sovereignty of the state, although in feudal times no one understood this concept. The Portuguese gradually stabilized in Macao, and the reason was that the Central Plains Dynasty did not pay attention to this truth and did not understand this truth.

Now there was a major change, the emperor not only wanted to take back the rule of Macao, but also ordered the navy to patrol the island, erect stone monuments, and declare sovereignty.

In addition to sovereignty, there are also territories and territorial waters, which are also instilled by the emperor and put into practical action.

Of course, just like the new concept introduced by the emperor, it takes a process to be accepted and understood, and it is not achieved overnight.

Compared with Wang Huazhong, an officer, although Zheng Zhilong does not have much knowledge, his understanding of the emperor's will is deeper and more thorough.

Grace and grace, light seizure of power. Cleanly and beautifully completed the envoy assigned by the emperor, and the governance of Haojing was his Zheng Zhilong.

Wang Huazhong is the direct idea of the soldiers, the strength is crushed, and if he can fight, he will not talk nonsense, and he will completely solve the Portuguese.

Hehe laughed twice, and Wang Huazhong didn't argue with Zheng Zhilong. After all, the work of recovering the governance of Haojing is led by Zheng Zhilong.

At this moment, a horse galloped out of the city of Guangzhou and came straight to attract the attention of Zheng Zhilong and Wang Huazhong, and the two also had speculation and expectation in their hearts.

The rider rushed to the front, turned over and dismounted, and reported: "Two lords, there is an urgent report from the navy that the six warships of the Dutch Hongmaoyi have all been destroyed, and our army is on the way back to the division. ”

Zheng Zhilong and Wang Huazhong glanced at each other and showed a relaxed smile.

"In this case, it is time to ask Gong Xie to come and talk to him." Zheng Zhilong smiled and dusted off his official uniform, looking confident and undisguised.

Gong Xie was an artillery instructor hired by the imperial court, and he was more aware of the combat power of the Ming army and could help the Portuguese make rational decisions.

In fact, for the Portuguese in Haojing, as long as the Ming cut off their trade, or blockaded them at sea, it was enough to put them in a desperate situation.

It's just that the emperor wants to take advantage of this great victory to get the maximum benefit without a fight. In case the Portuguese don't know what to do and what to do, it will not be difficult for the Ming to eliminate hundreds of people.

……………….

No matter how the battle with the Dutch was fought, there were only two results: a clean victory, a victory at a certain price, and the administration of Macao must also be recovered.

The Emperor had no doubt about victory, so many ships, so many guns, and an astonishing number of rockets, even a scramble of untactical, and the Dutch were no match for them.

As for the Portuguese, there were no ships, at most one or two armed merchant ships; The number is not large, and the total number of armed people is only a few hundred, how can they resist the fully armed regular army?

Therefore, the emperor thought that he was well prepared for the battle, and he did not need to worry about it. The battle with the Dutch was only one part of the strategic arrangement of the entire empire.

At this time, the emperor was immersed in the happiness of having a son.

In fact, when the queen gave birth to a dragon son, not only the emperor was excited, but also the ministers were excited, and the common people were also happy.

This is not a concubine, but a queen who is the mother of a country. The boy is the son-in-law, and can even be regarded as the crown prince, although he still needs the emperor's canonization.

The emperor was excited because he had an heir, which had greatly changed history. He really lost confidence in Zhu Youzhen, a person's character is difficult to change, and he really doesn't want his hard work to reform to be wasted.

The courtiers were excited because the emperor had a successor and an orderly inheritance. In just a few years, the traditional education they received could not be changed.

The common people are happy because it is a great event, and whenever there is such a happy event, the imperial court will always have policies such as tax reduction and exemption and amnesty for the world.

"Accurate!" The emperor drank fragrant tea and gave a brief comment.

Amnesty for the world, except for the condemned prisoners, other criminals were exiled, Mekong Province, Dongfan, Hainan, Borneo.

That's right, the maritime group opened up in Borneo, which required a lot of manpower, and the criminals were the least costly.

The same is true elsewhere, where the potential for development is huge, manpower is the most sought-after, and there is no need to spend money on recruitment.

"Accurate!" Shaanxi is exempted from all of them, and all of the disaster-stricken areas are exempted, and even if there are no big happy events, the emperor will do so.

The lesson of blood in history, the disaster also has to pay taxes, forcing the people to rise up, just for the sake of stuttering, in order to survive.

If this most basic request is not satisfied, then what reason is there for the dynasty not to be destroyed?

After dealing with the slack, the emperor relaxed, and did not forget to turn his head and instruct Wang Tiqian: "Wang Companion, only celebrate in the palace, there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful." ”

"The slave obeys." Wang Tiqian's face was full of joy, and he bowed down and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the slaves and maids will definitely do this great happy event in a dignified and dignified manner, and they will not be extravagant and wasteful." ”

There is no shortage of festive supplies in the palace, and they must be used during the New Year's Festival.

Set up a banquet and collect more money. The Emperor smiled to himself and dismissed the thought.

……………….

Shaoyingyuan.

The news spread quickly, but the children were only happy for a while, and most of them didn't take it to heart. If you add vegetables or have a holiday, it will be even more jubilant and jumping.

But Hai Lanzhu and Bu Mu Butai are different, the sisters feel that on this happy occasion, they may be able to let them go home to live for a long time, or even return to the grassland.

"Father is timid, I'm afraid I don't dare to play, right?" Hai Lanzhu shook her head a little uncertainly, and her eyes dimmed.

Although the emperor appointed Zai Sambu and not a small official position, and gave him a house in Beijing, he also released Wu Keshan to Korqin and became Zasak.

But for the two sisters, they have been staying in the Shaoying Home for education, and they are only allowed to return home during holidays. Zai Sambu and did not dare to disagree, and the two sisters could not figure out the emperor's intentions.
