Prince of Chaos

Chapter 667 Daming's Imaginary Enemy
Yang Chunyuan was praised and encouraged by Zhu Changluo, and he was very excited.

Although, Yang Chunyuan is also a few years older than Zhu Changluo, and he is also Zhu Changluo's brother-in-law.

However, in front of Zhu Changluo, Yang Chunyuan always felt a sense of awe as a mouse seeing a cat, and he did not dare to show any disrespect or make mistakes.

It can be said that Yang Chunyuan is more docile and sensible in front of Zhu Changluo than in front of his father.

Zhu Changluo turned his gaze away from Yang Chunyuan, and looked at Duke Ding Xu Xigao beside him.

Zhu Changluo asked: "Xigao, how is the situation of the Naval Academy? Gu is incompetent as the headmaster. Tianjin Wei Naval Academy has been established for almost three years, and I haven't visited it yet. I will check the schedule later, I plan to go Check out the Naval Academy."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, Xu Xigao was flattered.

Xu Xigao immediately replied: "Your Highness, please rest assured that everything is normal at the Naval Academy. Instructor Qi is very good. In the past two years, our students have been training in rotation on Tamna Island, and some of them have gone to Tone County with the fleet to perform escort missions. "

The coach of Qi is Qi Jin. Qi Jin and Wu Weizhong led the Zhili Navy on Tamla Island, and achieved impressive results in the Korean War.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo also specially promoted Wu Weizhong as the commander-in-chief of the Zhili Navy, and Qi Jin as the deputy commander-in-chief.

Later, because of the establishment of the Naval Academy, Zhu Changluo brought Qi Jinzhao back and asked him to serve as the chief instructor of the Naval Academy, and asked him to sort out and formulate the training plan for the Ming Navy cadets.

The old general Deng Zilong who made military achievements with them was promoted to the governor of the five armies. He is now teaching Jixian students the essentials of mountain warfare at the Jixian Military Academy.

After all, Deng Zilong was a figure who shined in the Ming-Myanmar War.

Although he is not good at water battles, mountain battles are definitely a must.

He taught the mountain warfare course at the Jixian Military Academy, absolutely making the best use of people's talents and resources.

Moreover, there will also be Deng Zilong's best home.

After all, he was already in his seventies, and if such an old general was to go into battle with a sword, would it appear that the imperial court was so incompetent that he couldn't even train a young general?
Therefore, Zhu Changluo also gave Deng Zilong great honor and favor, let him retreat from the first line with honor, and continue to shine in the second line.

Zhu Changluo said with a satisfied smile: "Good job, actual combat is the only criterion for testing strength. The bird's root is newly attached, and it is far away on Wajima. The forces within the Wa kingdom are intricate, neither the king of the Wa kingdom nor Tokugawa Ieyasu can suppress it." Chaos in the country."

"Therefore, there are always some rebellious officials and thieves who do not admit their crimes and try to harass our Daming's normal cargo voyages at sea. As for such small-timers who despise the power of the sky, we should use thunderous means to let them know that the power of the heavens cannot be offended. !"

Xu Xigao was very excited. Although these words were praised by those naval cadets, as the vice principal of Tianjin Wei Naval Academy, Xu Xigao was also very honored.

After all, since the establishment of the military academy, he has been ordered by the crown prince to be the vice-principal of the Tianjin Wei Navy, and he is also in charge of all administrative matters in the school.

Since having this specific errand, Xu Xigao has finally got rid of the vulgar tastes, and no longer spends time with those second-generation ancestors who walked through the alleys to get drunk in the past.

Now he is doing the work of the Naval Academy in a serious manner every day, and he also has a sense of honor.

Now, almost everyone has returned to the capital, and the whole person is living in the Naval Academy.

Such a change also made Zhu Changluo look at him with admiration.

Xu Xigao said: "I have always warned the new recruits this way. I told them to always keep in mind His Highness's idea of ​​building an army and remember their mission. If there are people who don't know what to do, I will never tolerate them!"

"No matter who his father is? How is his family? I will still directly expel him and send him away, and announce to the whole school, so that new teachers and students will take this as a warning. Make sure that the style of study at the Naval Academy will not be corrupted by those who intend to fish in troubled waters!"

Zhu Changluo was overjoyed when he heard Xu Xigao's words, "You did a good job. You should have this kind of momentum. The military academy is not a shortcut to get promoted and get rich. It is here to cultivate loyal people who will sacrifice their lives."

"I will count on them to defend their home and country, and protect the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the guidance and implementation of school spirit and discipline must be stricter and stricter. More importantly, the instructors who teach at the school must lead by example. Be strict with yourself and set a good example for your students.”

Xu Xigao bowed and said, "I would like to obey the holy edict."

After talking so much with Xu Xigao, Zhu Changluo also had some general understanding of Tianjin Wei Naval Academy.

These made Zhu Changluo very satisfied.

So, in the afternoon, Zhu Changluo turned off other things and ordered to go to Tianjin Wei Naval Academy for inspection.

After Tianjin Wei Naval Academy received Zhu Changluo's order to come to inspect, the whole school was extremely excited!
Everyone in the school put on their navy uniforms and waited for Zhu Changluo to arrive.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Changluo's guard of honor finally appeared in the Tianjin Wei Naval Academy.

When Zhu Changluo appeared, the teachers and students in the school gave a half-kneeling military salute, "See the Holy Prince!"

Zhu Changluo came down from the dragon, and he also wore the same standard military uniform as these teachers and students.

Zhu Changluo raised his hand and said, "I'm not the prince here alone! I'm your principal!"

The teachers and students were even more excited.

"See the headmaster!"

Zhu Changluo smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Normal."

"Thank you principal."

Everyone stood up and looked at Zhu Changluo, who was dressed in military uniform, their eyes were shining with excitement.

This is their principal!

Zhu Changluo looked at the youthful faces in the audience, with excited eyes, and the excitement in his heart was hard to restrain.

With the help of the echoing wall above the school grounds, Zhu Changluo said, "It's been almost three years, and this is the first time I've come to Tianjin Wei Military Academy.

Listening to Zhu Changluo's self-ridicule, the teachers and students present all smiled heartily.

Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

That is the supreme person who manages every day and regulates the yin and yang of the world.

To have him hold the title of principal of the Tianjin Wei Navy is already a great gift for the Tianjin Wei Navy Military Academy.

When the students who walked out from here went to various positions in the Zhili Navy, which one of them would not consider themselves a student of the Holy Prince?

With these auras, they have almost crushed many of their peers.

Therefore, they were also happy about Zhu Changluo's jokes.

Seeing that everyone's atmosphere is alive.

Zhu Changluo continued to speak again.

Zhu Changluo looked at all the teachers and students on the school field and said, "Does anyone know what is a navy? What is a navy?"

Zhu Changluo looked around at the crowd, but no one could answer this question.

Of course, there may be, but at this moment it is obviously Zhu Changluo's home game, and this is obviously a question that Zhu Changluo wants to ask and answer.

At this time, whoever interjects ignorantly will only appear to be mentally retarded.

Zhu Changluo paused for a moment, and said: "Navy divisions, since ancient times, those who fight with boats, buildings and boats are naval divisions. In ancient times, navy divisions traveled in Sidu, roamed on the Yangtze River, Yellow River and lakes, and all participants were land battles. The Battle of the Unreachable."

"From these perspectives, the navy is a vassal of the previous army. However, it is different now. The world of the ancients and the world that people face today have undergone tremendous changes."

"More than 200 years ago, Zheng He, the great eunuch, went to the West in the name of Emperor Chengzu, and the power of the country was thousands of miles away. During the Yongle Dynasty, all nations came to congratulate them, and they all surrendered to the great power of the Ming Dynasty."

"And this heavenly power comes from the Zheng He Fleet under Emperor Chengzu! The Zheng He Fleet not only defeated the pirates in the South Seas, but also deterred the small kingdoms overseas. In exchange for the decades of peace in my Ming Dynasty .”

"Until the period of Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing, because my Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to the construction of the navy, it led to the infestation of Japanese pirates, and even the bloody shame of Japanese pirates approaching Nanjing!"

"Emperor Sejong was ordered by heaven to practice the emperor's son Zuo, so he could not sit idly by and ignore the Japanese troubles. Therefore, he ordered Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others to stabilize the southeast and destroy the thieves. That made the southeast quiet."

"Since Gu was ordered to supervise the country, there have been two incidents of Japanese invasion of Korea. Gu recalled the glory of his ancestors and learned from the pain. Only when the navy is strong is the sea and the sea, and the sea is safe, the world is safe, the world is safe, and the world is safe. .”

"Therefore, Gu decided to set up the Tianjin Wei Naval Academy, and put the original navy division in a separate row, making it the patron saint of the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of sea."

"You guys, just in this life, you should cherish your mission, train hard, study hard, and strengthen our Ming Navy. Let the name of our Ming Navy once again shake the world and deter thousands of miles!"

Zhu Changluo's passionate speech immediately ignited the enthusiasm of everyone on and off the campus.

They never imagined that their mission would be so heavy.

Excited instructors and students responded enthusiastically: "The Ming Dynasty Navy, the sound shakes the world, deters thousands of miles!"

Hearing the enthusiastic response from these teachers and students, Zhu Changluo had tears in his eyes.

In this life, Zhu Changluo must let the ancient land of Kyushu open his eyes to see the world again, and look at the boundless and vast sea.

This sea has been accompanying the land of Kyushu since the beginning of writing.

It's just that because of the disputes on land and the introverted nature of culture, Kyushu has gradually forgotten the interests of the sea.

As a result, the Kyushu dynasties only paid attention to land hegemony and ignored sea hegemony.

In the past, there was no crisis or risk on this boundless ocean that could be seen at a glance.

But it is precisely because this sea has lived in peace with the mainland for thousands of years.

Therefore, this was the problem in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Japanese Insurrection in the Ming Dynasty and the Great Powers in the late Qing Dynasty all came from this ancient ocean.

Now is the era of global geographical discovery.

Western Spain, the Netherlands, and England are all taking turns to declare their dominion over the sea.

How can the Ming Dynasty be willing to lag behind in this ocean age where heroes are vying for hegemony?

The answer is definitely, no.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo must establish the people of Ming Dynasty's understanding of sea power and the unknown beyond the sea.

Let them understand what there is a sky beyond the sky, and mountains beyond mountains!
If you blindly immerse yourself in the so-called "world" category, you will be self-indulgent.

After a hundred years, it will be difficult for Da Ming to catch up with the expansion speed of the Thai and Western pirates.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the sea, sea power, and the construction of the Ming Navy!

Zhu Changluo looked at the excited expressions of the crowd. He didn't restrain everyone's enthusiasm. What he needed was that these people could maintain such enthusiasm.

Because, only by maintaining such enthusiasm can the construction of the Ming Dynasty's navy go smoothly, and it will naturally become the basic consensus of the entire Ming Dynasty.

After Xu Xigao heard Zhu Changluo's words, he was even more excited.

Because he understands how important his mission is.

Xu Xigao was still a little unconvinced when Zhang Weixian went to the Jixian Military Academy when he was divided into two school supervisors.

He thought that Zhang Weixian was able to go to Jixian Military Academy because of his seniority and bullied him because he was young.

That's why Zhang Weixian picked it up and went to Jixian Military Academy.

Now, after hearing Zhu Changluo's words, plus the income he has received from the escort of Niaogen County in the past two years, Xu Xigao doesn't envy Zhang Weixian at all.

Now Xu Xigao thinks that his future must be extremely bright.

The Xu family is the first meritorious service in the founding of the country, with two dukes in one family!

How can it be suppressed by the British government all the time?
Therefore, Xu Xigao is also secretly competing, wanting to regain the title of No. [-] nobleman in Ming Dynasty!
And Zhu Changluo's speech this time undoubtedly gave Xu Xigao a boost!

With the vigorous development of the Ming Dynasty Navy and Xuanwei Daming's indomitable achievements thousands of miles away, why can't Xu Xigao compete with Zhang Weixian and compete for the title of No. [-] honor in the Ming Dynasty?

After the speech, Zhu Changluo found Xu Xigao and Qi Jin and had another small meeting together.

Zhu Changluo needs to reassure these two people so that they have more direction to move forward, otherwise, just relying on slogans to train naval cadets will always have a period of fatigue.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to paint big cakes for the two of them to be exciting.

After arriving at the principal's office, Zhu Changluo naturally sat in the first place, while Xu Xigao and Qi Jin respectfully stood opposite Zhu Changluo, waiting for Zhu Changluo's hadith.

Zhu Changluo said: "This is not the capital, you two should sit down too. I just want to have a brief chat with you about the future of the Ming Navy."

Xu Xigao and Qi Jin clasped their fists in a salute, and then carefully sat opposite Zhu Changluo, but they sat very carefully, they only touched the edge of the stool a little, and their bodies were still very straight.

Zhu Changluo naturally knew the reason for this, and he would not point it out, nor would he be polite.

Because, the attitude of Xu Xigao and Qi Jin is actually a reflection of Zhu Changluo's power.

If Zhu Changluo doesn't maintain his aloof power, who will take him seriously as the crown prince in the future?

Therefore, Zhu Changluo naturally took this situation for granted.

Zhu Changluo said: "Although what I said to the teachers and students alone just now is very passionate, it is always a bit empty. As the direct leaders of the Tianjin Wei Naval Academy, you two certainly cannot lead the Naval Academy with such empty slogans. .”

"The two of you must have a clear understanding of the Ming Dynasty Navy! I dare to say that the next 500 years will be the world of the Navy! In the future, the disputes at sea will be more intense than the disputes on the nine sides."

"The Mobei Tatars outside the Nine Sides are just some savage grasshoppers after autumn. Don't look at how they are jumping and screaming now. Wait until Daming's firearms go further, and Daming's cement road will be extended deeper. At that time, they are the fish on the chopping board. If you want to handle them, you can handle them."

"However, it is different at sea. The enemies we see now are only three or five Japanese pirates and pirates from the Nanyang Islands. But these will not be Daming's enemies. Daming is Taixi, thousands of miles away!"

When Zhu Changluo said that Daming's future enemy turned out to be Taixi, both of them were stunned.

The Taixi people are so far away from Daming, how could they be the enemies of Daming?
However, what Zhu Changluo said next shocked Xu Xigao and Qi Jin completely.

Zhu Changluo said: "I know that you don't believe it, and even disdain that Taixi is Daming's future enemy. However, it is so cruel to tell you the truth."

"I believe you don't need to go into details about the development of Taixi's firearms. Qing and others also know to a certain extent. Compared with Taixi's firearms, Daming's firearms are still slightly inferior in some aspects."

"Although Daming has always imitated Taixi's powerful firearms, imitations are only imitations after all. If you want to truly surpass, you need to work hard and invest a lot of money to surpass Taixi's firearms."

"It can be seen that in the future world, Taixi is the only place outside the country that can compete with Daming. Now Xishan Huangzhuang has invented the railway steam car. Xigao should have seen it when he was in the capital."

Xu Xigao immediately replied: "I have seen it before. The railroad steam car is amazingly crafted, and it can push ten thousand catties along the track without animal power. Once this thing is popularized, it will definitely shock the world!"

Zhu Changluo said: "That's right. What if this thing is transplanted onto a giant ship? If all ships on the sea in the future use this thing as a drive, then will there be a peaceful place on this sea?"

"If the Taixi people's ship turned on this thing first, and they installed their most powerful artillery on the ship, then, what attitude should I, Da Ming, face?"

"Therefore, the crisis is not far away from us. We have to make one quick step, one step at a time, so that Daming can be free from worries and Taixi can't develop arrogance."

"Otherwise, one day in the future, when the Thais drive their strong ships and attack the customs with sharp guns, what should we do?"

Qi Jin excitedly said: "Let's call back!"

Zhu Changluo said: "That's right! Let's fight back! Then how do we fight back? This requires the efforts of the two of you. If you can make the Daming Navy invincible in the world, then Daming will naturally not encounter what Gu just said. crisis."

"If the two of you are slack and satisfied with today's achievements, then this day will always come as Gu just predicted. Therefore, the navy must be strong!"

After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, both Xu Xigao and Qi Jin broke into sweat!
Now the direction of the two is clear.

Seeing the excited expressions of the two, Zhu Changluo was also satisfied in his heart.

The setting of imaginary enemies, whether ancient or modern, is a major driving force for progress.

If it is a country that has no enemies, then such a country will definitely "die in peace" as Mencius said.

Zhu Changluo didn't want the Ming Dynasty in the future to be like the Manchu Dynasty in the original time and space. Since the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong heydays, they have "died in peace".

Zhu Changluo couldn't accept such a result, so he had to establish a strong imaginary enemy for Daming to stimulate the continuous progress and development of Daming.

Only in this way can Daming remain invincible forever!
