The situation of Macao's victory was reported to Wang Hongyu.

Wang Hongyu, who was developing a flintlock pistol with Bi Maokang in Yunyang, couldn't sit still, which was a signal from the sea coachman Niedersland to colonize the Ming Dynasty.

Although the enemy lost four 500-ton warships and three medium-sized warships, the Netherlands, who were bent on monopolizing the trade in the East, would not rest on their laurels, and this incident immediately aroused his alarm.

The Netherlands had a fleet second only to Spain in the world at that time, and the sea transport fleet had a large number of armed merchant ships, and with the naval strength of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed not an opponent of the Netherlands at present.

He decided to prepare for two things now:

First of all, it was to report to the imperial court and propose to strengthen the coastal war preparedness of Fujian, judging that the Netherlands would go to Fujian and might take the opportunity to entrench themselves on the treasure island. It is recommended to strengthen the naval division and send capable ministers and brave generals to protect the Ming Sea Frontier.

The Ming Dynasty Naval Division, also known as the Great Ming Naval Division, was once the world's first Chinese Navy, and its origin was the Chaohu Naval Division, one of the two main forces of Zhu Yuanzhang's department at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Later, with a large number of vigilance and law enforcement ships and herald ships patrolling the ocean, the famous Zheng He's fleet was actually just a mobile fleet at sea of the powerful Ming Empire's navy.

Wang Hongyu had a friend who specialized in collecting and studying the structural characteristics and operation methods of Zheng He's treasure ship in later generations, and knew that Wang Hongyu liked the history of the Ming Dynasty and sent him the information, which benefited Wang Hongyu a lot.

This treasure ship had the highest level of craftsmanship at the time.

It's a pity that all the blueprints of the treasure ship were burned by the civil official Liu Daxia in the name of wasting money.

This is the manifestation of civil power that has increased dramatically after Tumubao, and has specifically blocked the manifestation of imperial power with its own position.

The loss of Zheng He's treasure ship is a famous historical event during the Hongzhi period.

Fortunately, Wang Hongyu fooled the drawings of the Karak battleship, the Caravel Clipper and the Galen battleship from the very beginning.

He asked Cai Fuyi to build several double-deck 40 Hongyi cannon Galen warships in the Guangzhou shipyard.

In addition to the drawings, there are also captured enemy ships this time, which is just convenient for craftsmen to manufacture according to the drawings, and with the assistance of the Franc machine craftsmen, it will definitely be able to build the double-deck 40-gun Galen battleship of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the information of Jinnige and others, at present, the larger warships of European countries have a displacement of less than 1,000 tons, and the 500-ton battleships are already the main warships, so the main warships are positioned with a displacement of 500 tons.

Lacking craftsmen, they hired from Macao, and took advantage of the momentum of the Ming and Portuguese forces to repel the Dutch attack, and hurriedly accelerated their cooperation to build a fleet in Guangdong.

At the same time, Wang Hongyu asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to order the construction of ports, docks, forts, and cannons in Guangzhou and Fujian, so as to prepare for a sneak attack by the Dutch Navy as soon as possible.

......

Although the battle of Macau was small, the impact was great.

Wang Hongyu's immediate promotion of armaments, shipbuilding, and trade between the two provinces was on the one hand, and his preparation to lead the imperial court to formally participate in the world pattern was another.

After arranging the development of the matter, he was ready to leave for the north and return to the capital.

After contacting the apocalypse, the imperial court ordered Wang Hongyu to enter Beijing as a prisoner.

The dedication of prisoners is a victory parade and public review specially held after the victory of the Ming Dynasty. For Wang Hongyu, who has made great contributions, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who quickly stabilized the situation after ascending the throne, it is a very good publicity.

Ye Xianggao of the cabinet, Zou Yuanbiao, etc., also have some credit for cooperation, and they will be officially rewarded together when the prisoners are sacrificed, so no one in the court opposes Wang Hongyu's return to Beijing.

Only Gao Panlong, who failed to the end, specially spread the remarks that Wang Hongyu wanted to be Dong Zhuo in Jiangnan, fabricated rumors that he supported the army and respected himself, built the southwest into his forbidden land, and promoted some alien and evil people, which did all kinds of harm to Confucianism but did not benefit him.

These remarks were arranged by Wei Zhongxian, and Tian Ergeng and Yang Yuan of Jinyiwei had already secretly investigated Gao Panlong.

At Wang Hongyu's suggestion, Jin Yiwei not only investigated the words and deeds of Gao Panlong and others, but also focused on the rich people behind them.

Sure enough, the Donglin Party is not engaged in production, and can gather in various places to give lectures, and there are not a few rich people behind it.

In addition to the fact that they themselves came from the families of scholarly landlords, there were also many Nanzhili merchants involved.

Most of them just give some ordinary grants to help the development of the college, so that readers can have money to study.

However, there are also a few salt merchants and textile giants who really vigorously subsidize them, and even send their children to participate in academies and assemblies to guide public opinion to criticize the government and government, and advocate that the holy monarch should delegate power and the imperial court should delegate power to the localities.

These remarks, coupled with Gao Panlong's previous behavior, are sufficient to constitute a crime and be arrested.

Tian Ergeng saw that he wanted to directly unite with the eunuchs and Jinyi guards in Nanjing and directly send people to arrest these people, but before Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian sent them, they had already instructed them to only investigate and not take action.

This is, of course, Wang Hongyu's suggestion, now the investigation is the main thing, and they will not be touched first. The first reason is that the crime is not big, it is not easy to severely punish it, and it will also cause public dissatisfaction.

The more important reason is that these people are useful. Stupid people can bring more of their accomplices to the net, and there are many businessmen behind them who can deter and co-opt for their own use.

Of course, Wang Hongyu knew that the core economic foundation of the Donglin Party was the southeastern landlords and the southeastern merchants. In his view, these people just lack guidance and discipline, and if they don't manage well, they will undermine the government, and if they are well guided, they can become an important support for industrial upgrading and the further rise of the Ming Dynasty.

"Of course, these people can handle it themselves, so they don't need to fight directly, get into a lot of trouble and lose their available strength."

Wang Hongyu thought that the budding capitalism at this time was actually concentrated in Jiangnan. There has been a breakthrough in the traditional weaving of men and women, and family-scale workshops have become popular, and even large-scale textile workshops with more than a few hundred people have appeared.

In the textile industry, there are many orders for employment and production that are sold to various places and even overseas, and there are tens of thousands of textile workers in Suzhou. This is, of course, the germ of capitalism.

In addition to the textile industry, ceramics and purple clay pots have appeared, with hundreds of workers hired and large-scale orders sold to various places.

These businessmen are very wealthy, but they have very little political discourse, so they will naturally support the Donglin Party or the Zhejiang Party to speak for themselves.

But on the other hand, if these industries want to rise further and improve their status, do they have to rely on the Donglin Party or the Zhejiang Party?

Of course not.

What Wang Hongyu wants to do is to let them rely on themselves and gradually abandon the Donglin or Zhejiang Party.

When the northbound people arrived in Baoding, Wang Hongyu visited the governor Han Jun.

Han Jun was the governor of Baoding three years ago, and even if this position became important with the war in Liaodong, it was time for him to be promoted.

What liters?

The governor of Xuanda seems to be very suitable, Baoding is the support of Jiliao and Xuanda, and Han Jun is also familiar with the situation of Xuanda.

But Wang Hongyu wanted him to go to Nanzhili to dominate the situation.

Among the trusted cadres who have cooperated with him, Han Jun is the oldest and can control the scene.
