Chapter 374 Strengthening Coastal Preparedness

Wang Hongyu said to Zou Yuanbiao: "Mr. Nangao is right, if they can capture such a large area in a small country, they must have their own advantages, such as the naval battle of Portugal, which has excellent technology, courage and cooperation.

But don't worry, they can't beat our Ming, and they have no intention of making enemies of us, but they want to maintain good trade with us, and even expect us to help them develop."

"Help it grow?" Zou Yuanbiao and others have never heard of it.

"Yes, Brazil has a lot of iron mines, but the population is small and there is nowhere to go. And I, Daming, happen to be short of iron, and the population is swelling. From the perspective of various aspects, the two sides can complement each other, and there are also precedents for cooperation in Macao and other places."

"Indeed, the Franc machine man is more peaceful, and the trade is more complementary." Shoufu Ye Xianggao knows more about this aspect, after all, he often pays attention to silver and trade.

"It's this Dutch who spends his days trying to snatch the Franc Man's trading station, further open up the Ming market, and earn our raw materials and labor.

I failed to attack Macao before, but now I am ready to unite with the Japanese state, invade Baodao and Penghu, and plunder Fujian and Zhejiang."

"How can it be that if they are doing business, we welcome them, and if they occupy land and rob ships, they will be greeted by iron horses and cannons!" British Minister Zhang Weixian spoke.

Wang Hongyu hugged his fist and bowed to Zhang Weixian: "The British public is right, and it should be so."

Wei Zhongxian suddenly interjected: "Those pirates and pirates always say that the defense of the southeast of my Ming Dynasty is weak, saying that they killed the city of Nanjing at the slightest ronin back then, and also said that my Ming Dynasty is a broken wooden house, and it will fall apart with a kick."

Of course, this was not what Wang Hongyu gave to Wei Zhongxian, specifically exaggerating the rampant nature of the enemy.

"How can it be?" Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen was so angry that he stomped his feet.

There were also several officials who angrily denounced the enemy for arrogance.

The atmosphere has been laid out.

Wang Hongyu bowed to the apocalypse, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is time to respond."

Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Marquis Dingyuan is right, what suggestions do you have for dealing with Aiqing?"

Wang Hongyu didn't say it first, he couldn't take the lead in everything, he had to let others speak and participate.

He glanced at Ye Xianggao, Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong, Zhang Weixian and others who were about to speak.

Then he glanced at it, he was very able to talk in the past, but today he is very quiet in the military department - Yang Lian.

Yang Lian didn't speak in front of him because he really didn't understand.

As a military "expert" of the Donglin Party and a very rigid official, he wanted to criticize the battle of Macao for being greasy and the results mixed with water, and it was not appropriate to lightly provoke troops.

But can you say that?

Definitely not!

Wang Hongyu didn't say it just now, but he was sure that as long as he made an impeachment, Wang Hongyu would immediately say that the human and physical evidence were all there, and he could review and check them together with the prisoners.

At that time, in the context of the great achievements of the southwest, picking on oneself is to sweep the sex of the imperial court, and to be the enemy of many people who have been rewarded and reviewed.

He won't do anything to take the initiative to make enemies, reputation is more important than official position, and he must not step on Wang Hongyu's trap to stain his reputation.

The previous one couldn't refute it, but then everyone proposed to deal with it, and they had something to say.

If Wuxun wants to use this to expand his military power, if the imperial court wants to spend the people's fat and people to increase his troops and horses, or if he takes the initiative to provoke a war, he can immediately occupy the moral high ground and attack it.

The core of the speech official lies in the moral high ground.

"Master Xu, please speak."

Xu Guangqi said first: "Your Majesty, Zhejiang and Fujian need to strengthen vigilance, send more manpower to protect merchant ships, strengthen ship management and naval divisions, and shore defense."

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Bearing."

Gu Dazhang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, blatantly refuted Xu Guangqi's suggestion.

His hometown Changshu is very close to Xu Guangqi's hometown of Shanghai, but some high-ranking people in Donglin pay special attention to not avoiding suspicion, so they directly spray at this time.

"No, no, no, if Zhejiang and Fujian are plundered, and the pirates know that I am rich and weak, they will attack, then it will be a blind fortification to increase consumption, cost two provinces of manpower and material resources, and damage my name in China."

Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, was about to laugh angrily, how could he know that the enemy was coming to plunder, but he didn't prepare.

Most of the people in the imperial court felt that they could not allow the Dutch and Japanese to succeed, and soon spoke in favor of strengthening vigilance, protecting merchant ships, and developing naval shore defense.

Sun Chengzong also came out to add: "Your Majesty, for those who come from the sea, you can appease and do business, and war expulsion is supplemented, just like for Mongolia, since the peace of Longqing, there has been no war in the capital, I believe that this move can let overseas know that I am a country of etiquette, and at the same time has a strong strength."

As soon as he spoke, it was equivalent to setting a tone for the Donglin Party.

Shoufu Ye nodded to Gao in agreement, and it was inconvenient for the rest of the Donglin Party to raise fierce objections.

Wang Hongyu finally added: "According to the coastal experience of Guangdong, it is necessary to strengthen the active influence of our Ming Dynasty, and the minister suggested that Fujian should set up an inspection department on the treasure island based on the Penghu Inspection Department to protect the safety of fishermen, islanders, and merchants.

At the same time, they sent people to investigate the maritime trade routes of the Ryukyus, Wa Kingdom, and Korea, as well as the situation under their rule, and the sailors also wanted to build fast warships based on Fufune. The ministers already have the drawings, the Ministry of Industry has received them, and Guangdong has successfully trialed them."

As soon as they heard that Guangdong had been successfully built, Fujian officials were not far behind.

There is already trade competition between each other, and now is certainly not the time to be conservative, so the Fujian official proposed to follow suit.

But it is necessary to avoid suspicion a little, not to appear so jealous of Fujian officials and save face, so it was agreed that Fujian and Zhejiang would jointly build some Western clippers.

Hong Chengchou, who is serving in Zhejiang, is responsible for supervising the construction.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's name, Wang Hongyu thought of this intersecting celebrity, and thought to himself that in this life, let him attack the Japanese Kou, he will always be competent, no matter how bad he is, he will not take refuge in the Japanese Kingdom as a Han girl, right?

The matter was quickly discussed.

The morning court opened for more than 2 hours, and everyone was tired.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Hongyu finally came up with the most difficult proposal.

"The minister thinks that when the governor of Nanzhili-Shandong is temporarily established, first, to support the governor of Denglai in the north, second, to quell the resurgence of the White Lotus rebellion, third, to protect the Grand Canal and revitalize the way, and fourth, to boost Nanzhili and the coastal area of Shandong to guard against the Netherlands and the Japanese invaders."

This!

When everyone heard it, this was a second-class official, a top official in the local government. It is said that there is no precedent for such an important place as Nanzhili and Shandong.

"I think this is a big deal and shouldn't be too involved. And it is not advisable to set up another governor so close to the capital." A loud voice objected.
