"Husband, the Ming Dynasty is becoming more orderly from disorder." Luo Lian showed her extraordinary insight from the beginning, she never talked to Deng Zilong about her origin, and Deng Zilong never asked, everyone has their own secrets, Deng Zilong did not ask too much.

Peace of mind is my hometown, Lolian is full of disgust with Tessie, and even would rather choose to go to sea and fight with the unknown, rather than continue to stay in Tessie.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, I have grown up after all." Deng Zilong looked at the sea and said with feeling.

Under the imperial system, this is the case.

With the gradual growth of the Ming Emperor and the gradual promotion of the Wanli New Deal, the main contradiction of Jiangshan Sheji began to slowly become more and more fierce from usurping the power of the Lord's prestige, and the conflict was no longer so obvious and no longer so intense.

The lord Shaoguo is suspicious, the minister is not attached, and all kinds of careerists are emerging in an endless stream, they hope to usurp more privileges when the Ming Emperor is still ignorant, but because of the protection of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, these careerists were either beaten or killed, and became honest.

Under the circumstance that the main contradictions of the Ming Dynasty have been continuously relieved, the conflict of contradictions is no longer violent, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is recovering its health.

"In fact, new contradictions are gradually emerging." Deng Zilong looked at the sails on the sea, frowned and said: "Every time I look at these ships, I have an inexplicable worry, the national policy of the Ming Dynasty has always been conservative, according to the contradiction of Taifu, everything is one and two sides, both are the unity of spear and shield, so the old-fashioned ban on the sea, is it so worthless, there is no merit?" ”

Luo Lian smiled and said with a smile: "Money is the devil, and people who have money always feel that they can have it all." ”

"I reminded you a long time ago that Felipe II's empire also had the Netherlands, and in the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, there was also Nanya, which was a place where money gathered, and it was also a place where the devil bewitched people."

"Why should the husband worry, Da Ming and his sons are all husbands."

Luo Lian is very optimistic about the future of Daming, and a new storm has indeed appeared, but what can it be? Problems arise, solve problems, constant conflicts in the struggle, continuous compromises, so as to achieve a state of peace, the Ming Dynasty has its own husband to solve these things, living in the Ming Dynasty, which is a hinterland country with few wars, the most intense contradictions, wars always occur on the border, which is a fortunate thing.

"Fandu Command! The Governor's Palace reported that the general immediately went to the port to discuss matters! A Tielin army turned over and dismounted, and heard loudly.

Port!

Deng Zilong's face changed, this place is a matter of urgency, in most cases, it is an emergency expedition, as the commander of the Ming Dynasty, Deng Zilong is always active in the front line of the battle, when he went to Lin Afeng's island to go to the meeting alone, and later collected intelligence in Manila, to this day, Deng Zilong is still charging into battle.

Luo Lian naturally rose a sense of worry, she touched her lower abdomen, a new life has been brewing for four months, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that her husband would not be so risky again, the battlefield is a place where everyone can be killed, but she thought for a moment, hugged Deng Zilong directly, tiptoed and kissed it, and whispered in Latin: "My love, you have to come back alive." ”

"My love, be in awe of life, we have our own children, the door can't enter, and the window can enter, I'll wait for you to come back."

Luo Lian kissed goodbye to her husband who was about to fight, even with her bold character, she was embarrassed to say these words in Chinese, but said them in Latin, which Deng Zilong could also understand, this is a thought, so that Deng Zilong, who is out of battle, has an obsession with going home.

Deng Zilong rushed to the port, Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Yuanxun were also there, and they looked at the five-masted ship that occupied a berth alone.

Yin Zhengmao said with a solemn face: "We received news that the Goa Governor's Mansion has sent twenty-three galleys, seventeen Karik sailboats, seven light sailing ships, and five plywood ships, totaling 1,200 red hairs and 3,000 shengfan, and are heading to Mindanao. ”

"You go first, and Ying Yangbo will be the queen of your palace."

"Ying Yangbo and Fandu Commander told the sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty that behind us is the Ming Dynasty!"

"The last general commands!" Deng Zilong and Zhang Yuanxun moved.

The horns and war drums sounded in the harbor of Manila, all the ships entering the harbor began to move slowly, giving way to the waterway, and the three thousand passengers quickly assembled on the harbor, and the slender men dragged gunpowder and lead bullets towards the five-masted ships, three-masted plywood ships, and battle-mounted ships, and the drums of war became more and more urgent.

One out of every five of the 3,000 guest soldiers was wearing iron armor, which reflected the noon sun and shone brightly, and all of them had resolute expressions, and under the leadership of the commander, they began to board the ship, like a long dragon, and boarded the warship.

The Governor's Palace of Luzon was always in a state of combat readiness, and when there was an enemy, it would immediately attack.

The anchor of the five-masted ship was pulled up at the sound of the trumpet, and the towropes of the barges were hung on the ship, and the ship moved slowly on the berth, towards the blue sea, and behind it were twelve three-masted plywood ships, forty-two battleships.

Deng Zilong looked at the port, and he saw the rich red on the seawall, which was Luo Lian's red hair, the wife who hoped for her husband's safe return.

The target of the fleet of the Viceroyalty of Goa was Mindanao, where there was still a castle of Hongmaofan, and even though it belonged to Spain, all the governors of the Viceroyalty had learned from the missionaries that the King of Portugal was seriously ill and could die at any time, and that it was Felipe II who was most likely to take the throne of Portugal.

Whether it is Portugal or Spain, the overseas governorates have a great deal of autonomy, and even if Felipe II is not yet the king of Portugal, the governors will still cooperate according to the trend of interests.

The fleet of the Governor of Goa, in order to get to Mindanao faster, adopted a more aggressive route, they did not stop at any port, it took a month, directly to Mindanao, and the destination of Deng Zilong's fleet was also Mindanao, and they wanted to stop the enemy before the fleet of the Governor's Palace of Goa arrived.

In the whole of Mindanao, there are not many suitable places to land, the Governor's Office of Luzon and the Governor's Office of the Philippines, which belongs to Spain, fought a war on this island for six years, and Deng Zilong is very familiar with each of them, Deng Zilong sent out of the coastal defense patrol to fly on the water and go to the city of tuna.

The tuna city is the only port of entry in the whole of Mindanao, even Davao, it is not suitable for large-scale ship docking, there is a 'U' shaped bay, the coastline extends out of the sea, and then surrounds the tuna city located at the bottom, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the remaining red hair fan in Mindanao relies on the geographical advantage to defend here.

The water is clear and transparent, you can see underwater corals, mantis fish and rays playing in the corals, and at the beginning of June, a total of five hydrofoils appear here every morning, and the schools of yellow sea bream scatter in panic.

In the early morning of June 13, the seventh year of Wanli, the tops of more than a dozen masts appeared in the clairvoyant mirror flying on the water, and the sail of their sailboat was a red cross.

The main force led by Deng Zilong, after an hour, completely blocked the harbor.

Like a beast that had stepped into a trap and still didn't know it, the fleet of the Goa Governor's Palace immediately began to get excited when they saw the coastline, and the roaring cannons rang out while the ship's crew was still cheering.

Goa Governor Menezes miscalculated, the first miscalculation was the Ming Dynasty's strong reconnaissance ability in the Wanli Sea Pond, he was actually very aware of the existence of these hydrofoils, but he never expected that their fleet would be detected by the Ming sailors as soon as they left the port;

The second miscalculation is that Goa Governor Menezes did not expect that the Spaniards in Mindanao were so cowardly, and the Daming Sailors were blocked at the doorstep, but this group of Spaniards was still in Davao! A bunch of cowards! The fleet that did not cooperate with the Goa Governor's House should be joined in and out.

The Spaniards in Mindanao have been fighting with Daming for so many years, and they have long been beaten without fighting spirit. That's a five-masted ship!

Under the artillery fire, the naval battle began, under the frightened flight of countless seabirds, and soon, the battleship of the Ming Dynasty and the three-masted plywood ship surrounded the other warships except the Galese battleship, and the five Galese battleships were dealt with by the five-masted sea-crossing ship alone.

"Sure enough, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp." Deng Zilong put down the clairvoyant, the three-masted plywood ship of the Ming Dynasty and the other party's flagship Gallese battleship are the same type of battleship, the Ming Dynasty has never denied the contribution of the Luzon Governor's Palace to the Ming shipbuilding, and the three-masted plywood ship is improved on the basis of the Galese battleship in Manila.

The enemy's flagship was dragged by a five-masted crosser, and its own twelve three-masted plywood ships slaughtered the remaining boats.

The speed of the ship of the Ming Dynasty is higher, more flexible, the artillery is a nine-pound naval gun, the power of the artillery is stronger, the range is longer, the rate of fire is higher, Deng Zilong commanded the five-masted ship, and played a game of chasing and fleeing with the Goa fleet on the sea, this game is not fun for the Goa fleet, because every salvo of the five-masted ship will severely damage a warship.

The fleet of the Goa Governor's Palace, which was originally a labor expedition, sailed for a long time, was already tired, the Ming Dynasty waited for work, coupled with the geographical advantage, it had already made the fleet of the Goa Governor's Mansion like ants on a hot pot, so anxious that it turned around, in their frightened eyes, there were two more five-masted ships, more than 20 three-masted plywood ships appeared on the sea, what made Hongmao Fan even more desperate was that these ships hung the Big Dipper flag belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xi, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, and Zhao Kehuai, the deputy envoy, led the ships and plywood ships to the aid of Manila, and after resting for three days, they rushed from Manila to the city of tuna, just in time for the big battle.

The Ming Dynasty was immediately in an absolute position from a relative advantage, and even if a storm broke out suddenly, it would not be able to save the fleet of the Goa Governor's Palace.

"This Li Laoxi! Come to Luzon again to grab war achievements, don't they have it in Guangdong! Deng Zilong saw the tooth flag on the bow of the ship, and when he saw a Li character, he knew who was coming, and Zhang Yuanxun's tooth flag was on another five-masted ship.

The recovery of the Daming Naval Division, the landmark event is that Yu Dayou, who was old and volatile, led 3,000 guest soldiers to Songjiang Mansion, and after copying Xu Jie's home, he established the Songjiang Town Naval Division, and the Daming Naval Division thoroughly implemented Yu Dayou Yu Shuai's army building thoughts, that is: naval warfare is just to defeat small ships with big ships, and defeat small guns with big guns; Many ships are better than few ships, and many guns are better than few guns.

Under the guiding ideology of big is strong, more is beautiful, under this guiding ideology, the naval battles of the Ming Dynasty are often in a state of bullying the small with the big and bullying the small with the more.

This time, too, was no exception.

This time the sea blockade battle, ended with the complete victory of the Ming Naval Division, the opponent of a Gallese battleship was completely destroyed and sunk, the red hairs on the ship jumped into the sea, and two Gallese battleships were seriously damaged, when the five-masted ship slowly approached, these two battleships chose to surrender, half a day later, one of them sank into the sea, and there were still two lightly injured Gallese battleships left to escape from the battlefield, Zhang Yuanxun led the team to pursue, sank one, and the other fled.

Of the twenty-three galleys, seventeen Carricks, and seven light galleons, only four escaped the battlefield, and the others were either sunk or captured.

A total of 153 people were captured Hongmaofan, as for how many Hongmaofan jumped into the sea, this can not be counted, if according to the previous Ming Dynasty's head merit reward, the head merit reward of this battle does not exceed 30 people, and the red hairy fan is not as valuable as the Beiyu, the Beiyu has a head of 50 taels of silver, and the Japanese and Hongmao are only 10 taels of silver.

But now the Ming Dynasty is a reward for meritorious service, according to the fifth-class merit reward, the five thousand soldiers who participated in the war, at least one third-class merit reward, each person received at least fifty silver rewards, which is equivalent to five head rewards for everyone in the past, and 25,000 red-haired heads had to be cut off to obtain such a reward.

This battle is of great significance, smashing the enemy's conspiracy to penetrate deep into the rear of our army, intending to involve our main forces and unable to continue to attack the Strait of Malacca, and severely hitting the morale and arrogance of the Goa Governor's Palace.

It is completely worthy of a third-class meritorious service award assessed by the imperial court.

The Ming Dynasty clearly knew the defects of the head merit reward, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, during the Hongwu and Yongle years, and even during the Jianwen period, the merit reward was essentially a matter of merit, why after Yongle, the Ming head merit reward system gradually became the mainstream, is the Ming Emperor and the Ming Dynasty ministers not know the disadvantages of the head merit reward? The answer is very clear, and everyone knows it.

Yu Zhao, the Marquis of the Loyal Monarch Country, mentioned this matter, it is not that Hou Yuzhao is a big smart, on the contrary, he is still a little 'stupid' Everyone knows but does not say it, Hou Yuzhao said it, it seems a little silly.

Why doesn't everyone say it and don't change it?

Because the court was poor, there was a big loss of money, no silver, no food, and no armaments, so they could only rely on personal bravery.

Take the Ming Dynasty soldiers who went out to fight this time as an example, in addition to the original Yulu, the ship is three dollars of silver per day, as well as five catties of national cellars, five bottles of national cellars in the sea to drink water to save a little use for three months, this battle only lasted for more than half a month, not even to the point of the national cellar with water, the five catties of the national cellar is worth three taels of silver for a catty, plus fifty silver for meritorious deeds, this trip, about six or seven years of Yulu.

Ordinary rice wine in the Ming Dynasty is only three coins of silver per catty, but this is a highly strong liquor, and a little French wine will be used when the people do things.

In fact, the Ming army does not expect the Ming Emperor to have how much he loves the soldiers like a son, so that he can be fed, so he will guard the door, stand on the pass, and repel the invading enemy, he will be worthy of the emperor's kindness.

Emperor Daming really gave too much!

It's a shame that Your Majesty is the emperor, otherwise the soldiers would still think that Your Majesty is going to rebel.

Zhu Yijun's military talent is very low, which has been personally identified by Qi Jiguang, but every sailor who holds the national cellar in his hand is only grateful to the Ming Emperor, His Majesty may not have military talent, but the logistics talent is extremely high, and this talent is specifically manifested in making money and food.

In Qi Jiguang's view, logistics is a hinterland war, and the rear war determines the outcome of the front-line war, and the weight is extremely high.

In this era when military theory, that is, the art of war, is only discussing strategy and tactics, Qi Jiguang's military training and tactics are already a bright star that has broken through the long river of history, and he is now also looking at logistics.

On June 13, the seventh year of Wanli, the Daming sailors triumphed from Mindanao, and all the ships entered the port of Manila steadily.

Deng Zilong jumped off the trestle, and a red figure threw himself into Deng Zilong's arms, obviously waiting for Luo Li'an, who was waiting for her husband to return safely.

"Okay, okay, so many people." Deng Zilong said with a smile: "Aren't I coming back?" ”

"Husband, I washed it well, cleaned it, and prepared fish oil." Luo Lian said in a low voice in Deng Zilong's ear.

Deng Zilong's feet were crooked, and he almost fell into the sea, and the battlefield battle was just over, and he returned to Manila, and he had to fight in bed, what was going on!

"Husband, husband still wants to go to the Governor's Palace! Lady, go back first, go back. ”

"Hahaha." Watching Deng Zilong flee in the wilderness, Luo Lian smiled very brightly.

Before the triumph of the army, the good news had been written, and it was sent to Daming by sea inspection, and it took only five days to arrive in Songjiang Mansion and two days to arrive at the Tianjin Weijing Division.

"Good, good! Ok, good, good! Zhu Yijun held the Tang newspaper in his hand and said yes again and again.

At the beginning, Wu Dui and Fang played the trick of the princes of the beacon fire show, and lied about the military situation three times, which made the people of Gyeonggi panic, and the Yuanhou of Duntai (the supreme commander of a Duntai scout team) was directly subordinate to Jinyiwei, who was originally an intelligence department.

"In this way, the Goa Governor's Palace, Meneses will not dare to fight in the Strait of Malacca easily, Daming has obtained thousands of miles of sea ponds, and my plantation can produce safely and steadily, and there is no need to worry about the plundering of the red hair, good!" Zhu Yijun put the Tang Bao on the table, he was really happy, and the corners of his mouth were crooked.

His Majesty loves good news, especially good news about decisive battles.

Isn't it normal to be so happy?

Zhu Yijun gave so many rewards to the soldiers, in fact... It's not much, that's right, even if it has made the soldiers grateful to Dade and eager to follow His Majesty to rebel, in Zhu Yijun's opinion, it is still very little.

In this naval battle, the results of the Ming Dynasty were not just a few ships, hundreds of prisoners, and hundreds of people killed, the Ming Dynasty rejected the enemy in this battle, and the Goa Governor's Mansion failed to try to chop off his claws, and he did not dare to go out of the Strait of Malacca again anyway.

Daming kept the ownership of the plantation, kept the order of stable production of the plantation, Wanli Haitang these small countries heard the news, they knew that they were familiar with the Ming Dynasty back, Daming's merchant ships will be more smooth shuttle in Wanli Haitang, and will not be maliciously troubled, Zhu Yijun, as the emperor of the monarchy, has an extremely rich harvest, and it is definitely not a hundred thousand silver that can be bought.

More than 100,000 silver, full of calculations to buy three three-masted plywood ships, but in this battle, the Ming Dynasty at least played millions, or even tens of millions.

Governor Menezes's judgment was very accurate, and Ming's support was indeed faster.

"Show Yu Shuai, show the good news to Yu Shuai, and the next chapter of the Ministry of Rites will know that three days later, the Jie Yin will be read out at noon! The next chapter of the military department knew that the surname of Feng Guo was Zhengmao Surabaya Marquis, Zhang Yuanxun was named Yingyang Marquis, and Deng Zilong was Shi Longbo. Zhu Yijun walked around on the platform, and then stood firm and made further rewards.

Surabaya is in Java, Shilong is in Borneo, and Yingyang is in the old port, these are all overseas knights, in fact, they are the same as the king of Saiwai, they are worthless, the difference is that the king of Saiwai, just like Mahamu, Tuhuan, Yexian, I Da, and Tuman, they are all Hu people, but Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Yuanxun, and Deng Zilong are all Han people.

"Go and ask sir!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and went to call Zhang Juzheng again, after sharing one joy, there were several joys.

Zhang Juzheng soon arrived in Xiyuan, after all, the speed of the small railway is really fast, he has received good news, can only say that the bravery and achievements of the Ming army are completely worthy of His Majesty's Yulu.

Thinking about it, before the Ming Dynasty couldn't even guarantee half a salary, and even repeatedly owed it, the border troops were hungry to fight, and when they were about to fight, they put three guns in the sky, and they were right about this half salary, and there was no mutiny, and it could be called a loyal monarchy.

"Your Majesty, the good news is not unexpected." Zhang Juzheng finished reading the good news, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

His Majesty wanted to touch the military power, it was carried out carefully, starting from the practice of martial arts, to the inspection of military horses, the exercise of military horses, and the beginning of the arrears of Liaodong with silver rewards from the internal money, the military construction of the Ming Dynasty was carried out by Qi Jiguang, but His Majesty played a vital role.

Qi Jiguang shouted out the treatment of eighteen taels of silver per person per year, and His Majesty was responsible for realizing this treatment, even if it was only in Jingying.

"Sir, the good news has been read, and the bad news is coming." Zhu Yijun took out another Tang newspaper and said with a little embarrassment.

Zhang Juzheng opened the Tang newspaper, first surprised, then blinked, stunned and said, "Your Majesty, is the news reliable?" ”

"Tang reported that Deng Zilong sent the galleon from Taixi to Mindanao, and now it has arrived in Manila." Zhu Yijun touched his nose.

The collapse of the worsted woolen business of the Ming Dynasty began with the panic caused by the sharp decline in the flow of silver into the Taixi galleon, and now the plate has also been smashed, and the worsted woolen business has also collapsed.

Isn't this nonsense?

It's like the Ming Emperor deceived everyone.

Zhang Ju looked at the newspaper in his hand with a complicated face, the captain Antonio did not come, Felipe II changed the captain, five five-masted ships, only two arrived in Mindanao, it can be seen how important an experienced captain is to the fleet, when Antonio was there, at most he only lost one ship.

"Your Majesty, don't sink it." Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and came up with a solution.

"Huh?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "It's a good idea." ”

As long as it does not dock at the new port of Songjiang Prefecture, there are so many legends on the sea, and whether the galleon arrives or not has become a legend of the sea, and the face of the imperial court will be kept.

"No, no, if this is sunk, the more than three million silver brought on the ship will not be able to flow into the Ming Dynasty, it is not the ship's business, it is the silver's business." Zhu Yijun thought about it for a long time, and rejected Zhang Juzheng's very tempting proposal.

"Your Majesty, Daming is not short of these three million taels of silver." Zhang Juzheng insisted on the issue of the credibility of His Majesty on the issue of the inflow of three million taels of silver.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Sir, no penny of silver is superfluous in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Deng Zilong did not lie to the emperor, he did say that he would not come at that time, and the emperor did not lie to everyone, because the price was very high, Felipe II was a variable, he was a very decisive person, and he would rather pay more than continue to explore the route.

Maritime trade is risky, and it is necessary to be cautious when entering the market.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun said: "Leave this matter to Wan Dazai to deal with, if you can suppress the news, you can't suppress it, the speculators think that I deceived them, then it should be regarded as I deceived them." ”

Because of the decisive smashing of the plate, so that the worsted woolen business was controlled within the scope of covering luxury households, and did not affect the people, Zhu Yijun can still bear this kind of dishonesty, no one can judge this matter of sea trade accurately.

Will Wan Shihe damage His Majesty's credibility? Wan Shihe, who was deeply favored, said that this is a big deal, and he can't settle this matter, so he just goes home and grows sweet potatoes.

Wan Shihe immediately went into action.

Sprinkling water to wash the floor, a good show.

More is beauty, big is good, caliber is justice, turret is truth, and truth is within range! Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!!!!
