Prince of Chaos

Chapter 399

After Li Sunshin took over the Joseon Navy, the North Korean Navy changed every day in his hands.

Looking at the military report sent by Li Shunchen, Xing Jie was also very satisfied.

"Yi Sun-sin is really a good general in water warfare."

Xing Jie sighed to Li Tiansheng who was beside him. When Li Tiansheng heard that Xing Jie praised Li Sunchen, Li Tiansheng was still a little unconvinced.

Li Tiansheng said: "That's because His Royal Highness's Zhili Navy hasn't come yet. After His Highness's Zhili Navy sails to North Korea, it will be truly invincible."

Hearing Li Tiansheng's blind trust and admiration for Zhu Changluo, Xing Jie did not refute.

After all, what he wanted to do was not to argue with Li Tiansheng about winning or losing, but his purpose was how to fulfill the strategic intention that His Highness the Crown Prince explained.

Right now, Yi Sun-shin is doing very well.

He used limited ships to achieve unexpected results, which is what surprised Xing Jie.

Li sun-shin's tactics at sea were like this. He often used small boats and fast boats to harass the passing ships of the Japanese pirates.

At sea, his sailors were like ghosts and ghosts, haunting the only way the Japanese pirate ships must pass, causing great trouble to the Japanese pirate ships.

When the Japanese pirates wanted to organize a powerful force on the water to surround Yi Sun-shin, Yi Sun-shin didn't care about fighting at all, and he didn't engage in emotional battles. He just set up his sails and ran straight away according to the current and wind direction.

This also made the Japanese pirates scream in anger when dealing with Yi Sun-shin's harassment, helpless.

Moreover, Yi sun-shin often used the Japanese pirates' pursuit psychology to set up ambushes. As long as there were fewer ships chasing, he would concentrate all his strength to deal the most violent blows to the Japanese pirates.

This also makes Yi sun-shin not have made great achievements at sea, but he has made a lot of small achievements.

For this, Xing Jie also praised Li Sunchen face to face several times.

After Li Sunchen's battle report at sea was compiled by Xing Jie and sent to the capital, Zhu Changluo saw Li Sunchen's battle report, and a familiar feeling arose spontaneously in Zhu Changluo's heart.

"Isn't this guerrilla warfare?"

Immediately, Zhu Changluo became more interested in Yi Sunshin, the North Korean general.

Originally, Zhu Changluo knew that Yi Sunshin, a famous naval officer, would emerge during the Korean War. However, due to his prejudice against the later Smecta Kingdom, Zhu Changluo always thought that Li Sunshin's contribution was exaggerated.

The real surface battlefield should be dominated by the Daming Navy.

However, after reading this military report, Zhu Changluo also knew that the number of Ming warships that could be directly controlled by Xing Jie in North Korea is actually very limited, and they simply cannot support a huge water battle.

However, now Li Sunshin's strategy and tactics have produced unexpected results, which makes Zhu Changluo look at him differently.

However, praise is all praise, this does not mean that Zhu Changluo agrees with Li Sunshin's idea of ​​water warfare.

The most fundamental reason why Yi sun-shin was able to play guerrilla warfare at sea was that the Japanese pirates' ships did not have long-range artillery as a strategic support.

Once the Japanese pirates have long-range artillery on their ships, guerrilla warfare at sea will become a living target at sea.

Therefore, this tactic can only shine for the last time at this stage.

In fact, the later the development of naval warfare, the more crude and simple it will be.

In naval battles, the battle is about who has the most cannons on board, and whose cannons have the farthest range.

Other things are not worth mentioning in front of absolute strength.

After all, the sea is still an endless and unobstructed battlefield, and if one gets within the range of the artillery, it will be beaten one-sidedly.

So, let's have fun with Lee Sun-sin now.

He would like to thank East Asia's artillery technology for more than 100 years behind, otherwise, to use his maritime guerrilla warfare method to attack Japanese pirate warships, it would be a dead end.

Therefore, under Zhu Changluo's strict order, the tactical methods in this battle report can only be used for reference, but they must not be regarded as Guigao!
Because, this time, Zhu Changluo spent all his money to equip the Zhili Navy with long-range and heavy-fire artillery.

With these artillery pieces, what guerrilla warfare at sea?What are you chasing after me?As long as it is within range, everything is garbage.

After all, in this era, there are no aircraft and submarines as auxiliary naval warfare.

All power at sea still depends on the ship and the artillery capabilities on the ship.

Everything else is minor.

So just after the Zhili Navy became an army and was about to set off in Tianjin for the oath division, Zhu Changluo, as the governor of Zhili, led the Ministry of War Shangshu Li Chengliang and others to Tianjin Weilai in person.

This is the first time Zhu Changluo has left the capital in ten years.

It's incredible to think about it!

It's been ten years, and it's only the first time to leave the capital. If this is set according to the awesome settings of other traversers, it is estimated that the whole map is almost running.

So, sometimes people are really more popular than people.

When he first left the capital, Zhu Changluo looked outside in his guard of honor car.

It turns out that Tianjin Wei, which is close to the capital, is so narrow and narrow, without the momentum of the largest port in the north.

Moreover, along the way, it is full of dust and noise, let alone whether the ground is level.

Looking at the past, the space between the capital and Tianjin Wei was full of desolation. On the land that should have been contiguous fields, there were not many reclaimed fields, and most of the places were barren.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Are the people of Ming Dynasty short of land to plant?

Judging from the annual tax declaration by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it seems that Daming has not much land that can be used for taxation.Moreover, judging from the reports sent by the two capitals and the thirteen provinces, Daming is undoubtedly a country full of disasters.

In such a huge country, there is either a drought here or a flood there.

They are all thinking of ways to default on the taxes that the court should receive.

However, according to the people sent by Zhu Changluo himself, in some places, taxes are levied every year, and they continue to make clever names.

Some excessive local taxes have been received by Wanli for 58 years.

Thinking about all this, Zhu Changluo felt absurd.

The Wanli Emperor in history only reigned for 48 years in Wanli.

Moreover, it is only the 26th year of Wanli.However, the taxes in some places were actually received in the 58th year of Wanli.

Although, there is no absurdity like the tax collection of Goose City in Jiang Wen's movie, as the master said, "I have received the year 2009 in the Western calendar".However, when this situation happened in front of reality, Zhu Changluo still felt that reality was more cruel than movies.

After all, Master Huang in the movie still has Zhang Mazi to deal with.But in reality, Mr. Huang is no match for Zhang Mazi.

So, where did the extra 32 years of taxes go?
Anyway, the household department in the capital did not receive the money.

Where will the money go?

There must be only one answer, and that is to be embezzled.

Zhu Changluo issued an order in his car.

"It is said that the guard of the house came to Tianjin Wei to see the orphan."

After Wei Zhongxian, who was driving beside him, heard Zhu Changluo's will, he softly replied yes.

Then, someone was sent to announce that Fang Shoushi had come to Tianjin Wei.

The reason why Fang Shoushi came here is because the Dashun Tianfu has been established, and now this area belongs to the Shuntian Mansion.

Since it was a problem under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Changluo naturally wanted to ask the highest official of Shuntian Mansion.

The guard of honor continued to move forward. Although the problem here was very serious, it was not in a hurry.

The most important thing now is the formation of the Zhili Navy.

As the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty and as the Governor of Zhili, Zhu Changluo.

Due to emotion and reason, Zhu Changluo has a reason to come.

After all, North Korea is the number one vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and now North Korea is in ruins, and Japanese pirates are brutal, in order to show that Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to this war.

As the crown prince of Jian Guo, he also needs to show an attitude of taking it seriously.

And this kind of attitude, of course, can't just be a few words in writing, but also requires action.

Because, only with actions can it show how much Da Ming attaches great importance to the loyal Da Ming's vassal state.

Secondly, Zhu Changluo also wanted to see what the military capacity of the Zhili Navy established under his instructions was like.
This is what Zhu Changluo has always wanted to see.

After arriving in Tianjin Wei, the officials of Tianjin Wei, under the leadership of Xiao Ruxun, went to the gate of Tianjin Wei to pick them up.

"Xiao Ruxun, governor of Chen Shuntian and commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Wei Navy of Zhili, welcomes His Royal Highness the crown prince."

Zhu Changluo came out of the carriage, and he watched Xiao Ruxun and others kneel before his guard of honor to receive him.

Zhu Changluo said: "Masters, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone responded thank you.

Zhu Changluo didn't stay in front of the city gate to give a speech either. After all, in this hot weather, unless he was sick, otherwise, who would pretend to be aggressive in this place at this time?

Anyway, Zhu Changluo couldn't do this kind of thing.

So, under Zhu Changluo's will, his crown prince honor guard and Xiao Ruxun and other officials who picked him up entered the Tianjin Acropolis.

After arriving in Tianjin Wei, Zhu Changluo's guard of honor went straight to the place Xiao Ruxun had packed for him.

This palace has a long history, and it was used as the temporary residence of Emperor Yongle after he moved his capital to Beijing a long time ago.

However, Emperor Yongle did not live in this palace at that time, after he came down from the canal, he stopped in this palace for a while, and the imperial driver went straight to his new capital, Beijing.

Therefore, it has been deserted for nearly 200 years.

If it weren't for the fact that it was once the holy site of Emperor Chengzu, it might have collapsed long ago.

After arriving here, Zhu Changluo looked at the traces of renovation here, which seemed extremely rough.

But that's okay too.

After all, Zhu Changluo only stayed here for one day, and there was no need to pretend to be magnificent, so it was over at once.

Not long after Zhu Changluo arrived at the palace, Fang Shoushi, who went straight to Tianjin Wei, also arrived without stopping.

When Fang Shoushi arrived at the palace, the sky also darkened.

However, Zhu Changluo did not refuse to summon him because of this.

After all, he will go to Tianjin Port to carry out a military parade early tomorrow morning.

Therefore, the time to leave a room guard is tonight.

When Fang Shoushi came, Zhu Changluo was eating, and the officials who accompanied Zhu Changluo to eat were Li Chengliang, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Xiao Ruxun and Deng Zilong.

The three of them were surprised when they heard that Shuntian Mansion Yin had arrived, and then they said in a very sensible way that they had finished eating and wanted to leave.

Zhu Changluo did not leave the three of them behind, but just explained to the three of them again.

"Tomorrow's military parade must be flawless. This is not only related to my Daming's military prestige, but also to my father's heavenly prestige and Gu's face."

Xiao Ruxun and Deng Zilong replied: "I will definitely do my best to ensure that the military parade is safe."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay. Then I won't keep you guys. I've already talked a lot with you. Go back and digest for yourself, then get enough energy, and go to parade with Gu tomorrow."

"Yes."

The two bid farewell again.

After Xiao Ruxun and Deng Zilong left, Li Chengliang also withdrew.Zhu Changluo instructed Wei Zhongxian beside him, "Let Fang Shoushi come in."

After Wei Zhongxian got Zhu Changluo's order, he immediately went outside to find Fang Shoushi.

"Xuan Shun Tian Mansion's Yin Fang guards have an audience."

Fang Shoushi tidied up his clothes again, and after making sure that there was nothing inappropriate about him, he cautiously entered Zhu Changluo's palace.
