Chapter 380 The Great Ming Navy

Chapter 380 The Great Ming Navy
Just when Xiao Ruxun was struggling with how to establish the Zhili Navy, another order from the imperial court had been issued from the cabinet.

Although there are no naval warships available in the north of Ming Dynasty, this does not mean that there are no navy ships in the south.

According to Xing Jie's request, the imperial court transferred Jiangxi Navy into the imperial court.

That's right, Jiangxi, a province that doesn't rely on the sea at all, actually has a navy.

In fact, Jiangxi does have a navy, but the scale is not large, and it is still an inland Yangtze River navy.

Let them go out of the Yangtze River to fight at sea, one can imagine how little the Ming Dynasty attaches importance to the sea.

There are almost no ships to defend the Daming sea area!

This is simply unbelievable for a country with a coastline stretching for thousands of miles.

However, it actually happened.

This has to be said to be a historical spectacle!
The number of sailors transferred from Jiangxi was not as many as expected. There were only more than 200 official sailors, and they were still led by a deputy commander in his 70s.

When Zhu Changluo saw the memorial, he was so angry that he threw the memorial heavily on the ground.

This move also surprised the Zhongshu Sheren who delivered the memorial.

For a moment, all the palace people in Ciqing Palace were terrified and kneeled on the ground, waiting for Zhu Changluo's thunderous wrath!
Zhu Changluo looked at the palace servants who were kneeling in the hall, held back his anger, and collected himself.

"I lost my temper, you guys get up."

Then he said to the Zhongshu Sheren: "Go and call the three gentlemen from the cabinet."

At this time, after hearing Zhu Changluo's will, the Zhongshusheren replied quickly as if he had been enlightened, "I obey the order."

Zhongshusheren hurriedly exited the hall and headed towards the cabinet.

The Zhongshusheren didn't expect him to be afraid of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old person.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Changluo's accumulated prestige has been subtly subtle since the prison of the country, and it has reached the point where people can ignore his age and feel fear.

When the three members of the cabinet saw the panic-stricken Zhongshu Sheren come back and told Zhu Changluo to summon him, the three of them couldn't help feeling nervous.

This is the first time the three of them have encountered this situation.

Shen Shixing took the lead and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

Zhongshu Sheren replied: "Yuanfu, Your Highness is furious."

When it comes to the word "wrath", the person from Zhongshushe obviously still has some lingering fears. It can be seen that Zhu Changluo's anger this time gave birth to a power that has the power to shock people's hearts.

Shen Shixing and the others' hearts sank. This was the first time they encountered this situation.

Second assistant Wang Xijue asked again: "Why is Your Highness furious?"

Zhongshu Sheren lowered his head and replied, "I don't know."

Shen Shixing looked at Wang Xijue who was about to ask another question, he stopped him and said, "Let's go, don't keep His Highness waiting."

At this time, the three people in the cabinet immediately realized that the focus at this moment was not to ask this question, but to go to Ciqing Palace to solve the problem immediately.

After the three of Shen Shixing arrived at Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo had already adjusted his emotions.

After Shen Shixing waited to see the ceremony, Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "Give me a seat for the three gentlemen."

However, this time, Shen Shixing and others did not accept it directly, and replied: "I dare not."

Zhu Changluo was a little surprised when he saw the reaction of Shen Shixing and others.

Zhu Changluo said: "What's the matter with the three gentlemen today? Do you want Gu to stand and talk?"

Shen Shixing and others immediately replied again: "I dare not."

Then, the three sat down carefully, waiting for Zhu Changluo to speak.

After all, when they came, the three of them also took a look at their words, and some of the palace servants who were serving in the palace obviously still had expressions of shock on their faces.

It can be seen that His Royal Highness is really angry this time.

Zhu Changluo paused for a moment, and then broke the silence.

Zhu Changluo said: "What do the three gentlemen think about the Korean War?"

Hearing Zhu Changluo's question, Shen Shixing and the three of them twitched their eyelids.

It seems that this question is not simple, because from the beginning of the year to now, the Korean War has passed half a year.

The Ming Dynasty and the Japanese pirates have formed a confrontation between Pyongyang and Seoul.

Although the daily consumption of military funds is useless, overall it is still possible.

Shen Shixing couldn't figure out Zhu Changluo's intention for a while, so he replied: "I think the Korean War should be decided quickly. If it is delayed for a long time, it will be detrimental to the court."

Zhu Changluo was dissatisfied with this answer, but he didn't show it.

He then asked Wang Xijue, "What does Mr. Wang think?"

After Wang Xijue heard Zhu Changluo's roll call, he took a deep breath, and then said, "I agree with Yuanfu."

Zhu Changluo glanced at Wang Jiaping again, and Wang Jiaping immediately replied: "The minister also seconded the proposal."

Zhu Changluo sighed after listening.

"Gu also knows that the three gentlemen's intentions are also for the good of the court. However, what Gu wants to talk about today is not this issue. Now Xing Jie is in trouble in the Korean War."

Hearing that Zhu Changluo said that Xing Jie was in trouble in the Korean War, the three looked up at Zhu Changluo in surprise at the same time.

Obviously, the three of them didn't understand what kind of trouble Xing Jie was in.
The three of them could only quietly listen to Zhu Changluo continue talking.

Zhu Changluo said: "Some time ago, Xing Jie's report to the imperial court said that Japanese pirates were still continuously transporting Japanese soldiers to the court at sea. The imperial court also attached great importance to this. Therefore, at Gu's proposal, Gu was in Tianjin Wei. The Zhili navy was established to solve the problem of Xing Jie's lack of sea power nearby. However, a new problem has arisen now. The entire army was annihilated, and Yuan Jun, the chief of the Korean navy, was ambushed and killed by the Japanese general Todo Takatora."

"Right now, Xing Jie is still completely passive. If he wants to solve this problem, he must increase troops to North Korea, but now the court has almost no troops to increase. Yang Yinglong in the southwest took the opportunity to create chaos and restrained most of my troops in Ming Dynasty. There is a small Burmese state in the south that has been uneasy since the Jiajing Dynasty. Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan and Vietnam have always been guarded by heavy troops. Lu Bing, Daming can't be transferred now. So Gu agreed to Xing Jie's request and let He transferred the Jiangxi Navy."

"But, do you know what Gu saw? Gu saw that the Jiangxi navy that Xing Jie wanted to transfer had only 200 people, and only three large ships! Moreover, it was still led by an old general in his 70s. Could it be that I, Ming Is there really no one available? Do you have to use old people in their 70s to go to the battlefield?"

At this time, Shen Shixing and others understood Zhu Changluo's anger.

Unexpectedly, the dignified Ming Dynasty did not have a decent navy!

Now, the Korean War is imminent, but the navy that the court can send is only three ships, more than 200 people and a veteran in his 70s.

Who can stand such a situation?

Therefore, it is not difficult for Shen Shixing and the others to understand Zhu Changluo's anger now.
