Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 323 Liaodong Upheaval
After commending Dennis, Zhu Changyuan invited Kong He into the office and began to give him another task.

"What ideal do you have?"

Just as Zhu Changyuan sat down on the chair, he asked Kong He, which startled Kong He, who was wondering what he was doing in a hurry from Shaanxi.

"This..." When it comes to military affairs, Kong He can talk endlessly all morning, but now the boss asks him what ideals he has, and asks him how to answer.

Moreover, in ancient society, talking about ideals with one's boss is a deadly thing, okay?

You can't tell him: I want to be a general in the future!Or should I take the position of your old man?

"Why, you don't understand what an ideal is? That is to say, what are your future plans? To give you the simplest example, what kind of official position do you want to be in the future?"

"This?" Kong He really had a constipated expression on his face. Even if he had, he was too embarrassed to say so, so he could only hesitate and hesitate for a long time and said: "The final general is willing to follow the general, conquering the south and chasing the north, that's all!"

"Bullshit!" Zhu Changyuan was afraid of the table, so he stood up from the chair and said, "It's fine to follow me all the time, but there are many things on the island, and sooner or later you have to stand alone. Haven't you ever thought about Feng Houbai?" Prime Minister, or even, crack the earth to seal the king?"

"Subordinates dare not, subordinates should die!" Kong He became anxious when he heard what Zhu Changyuan said.Kneeling down on the ground with a plop, he hastily defended himself and said, "How dare this subordinate be self-reliant?"

"Get up." Zhu Changyuan said lightly, and said, "I originally wanted you to guard the land of Shaanxi, as a general, or to make contributions to the country, but it's a pity that things are busy on Riyue Island. The old thing, the army..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Changyuan saw Kong He's body trembling slightly, and even his forehead was sweating.

In Kong He's heart, Zhu Changyuan's old story of acting as the ancestor emperor was rebellion and Jing Nan. How could Kong He not be excited? But on the other hand, as Zhu Changyuan's thigh, right-hand man, he is eager to make contributions.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Changyuan also expected what he was thinking, immediately smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I am not rebelling, but I want to imitate Emperor Chengzu, sail across the sea, go to foreign lands, and plunder the barbarians. Spread my Han civilization, what do you think?"

After Kong He listened, he put his heart into his stomach, and knew that Zhu Changyuan didn't want to rebel, but to follow Zheng He's voyage to the West.

When Emperor Chengzu Emperor Zhu Di was alive, the glory of Yongle was more than ten thousand feet. It illuminated the surrounding neighbors and benefited more than forty countries. The countries that came to pay tribute can be said to be in an endless stream.

The fleet led by Zheng He, along the way, can be said to kill people and set fires all the way, destroying countless countries.

Thinking about the prestige of the past, and looking at the Ming Empire today, one can't help but sigh.

"Now in Dading, Shaanxi, the affairs of the island are also handled by the two great government officials. The last general has long wanted to ask for instructions to follow the army to sweep Fusang, and I asked the general to agree."

In fact, Kong He also wanted to fight in his bones.

Zhu Changyuan nodded, and said: "Okay, since you have the ambition to sail far and wide, I will make it possible for you, but this trip is not to sweep Fusang, but to a place thousands of miles farther than Fusang, do you dare to go? "

"My subordinate is willing to go!"

Hole and Grit.

"That's good!" Zhu Changyuan took out a huge world map from his study, pointed to a small island on it and said, "This is my Sun Moon God Island." With a flick of his finger, he pointed to the east: "This projectile The land is Fusang."

"However, the general didn't want you to conquer Fusang today, but let you go here." Zhu Changyuan's thoughts changed quickly, and the movements of his hands were even faster. He moved his hand in an instant and moved to the European continent.

"If you want to get here, you have to travel far into the vast sea."

"From Riyue Island all the way to the south, across the ocean and across the sea, after traveling for more than ten thousand miles, you can reach the Strait of Malacca. After passing through the Strait of Malacca, go all the way west, across the entire Indian Ocean in the southern tip of India, and you can reach The east coast of Africa, this is the farthest place Zheng He sailed to.”

"Here?" Kong He asked suspiciously: "Did Zheng He reach the coast of Africa the farthest back then?"

"Yes!" Zhu Changyuan nodded, very sure, but he said very solemnly: "As for the mission of this general, I am afraid it will be more difficult than Zheng He's voyage. After arriving here, the whole itinerary is just passable. It's only half done!"

"Go south along the coastline of Africa, go westward at the southernmost tip of the continent, and reach the Atlantic Ocean. After the Atlantic Ocean, [-] miles from south to north, you will reach the territory of Europe. The country I am talking about is there. .”

As for why he had to go to such a far place, Zhu Changyuan didn't say, and Kong He naturally didn't ask.

Kong He thought very far before, but never thought it would be that far.

"Of course, if you go to the European countries, you will be given the most advanced big ships, so you can sail without worry. The difficulty is that you will be adrift at sea. It may take years to return after you go."

"Subordinates are not afraid!" Kong He gritted his teeth.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan said: "If this matter can be completed, I will allow you to attack the great power abroad in the future, and all the lands under it will be kings!"

On that day, Zhu Changyuan spent a lot of effort to exchange six brand-new azure blue ships from the system in one go, and put them on the sea one by one.

He also ordered Kong He to lead the [-] elite soldiers from Riyue Island and a group of European scholars to board the ship, set sail, and then head southward.

The boat was exchanged from the system. It not only has navigation, but also can sail automatically, which can be said to provide enough convenience for Kong He, but there is one thing, the sailing speed is too slow.

Although this kind of big ship sailed much faster than ordinary ships, relatively speaking, starting from Riyue Island and going all the way to Europe, it would be impossible to get there within half a year or even longer.

Of course, the main mission of Kong He to go to Europe this time is not to fight wars, but to invite all the science lovers scattered in every corner of Europe.

The reason why many European scholars followed suit is to make a publicity through them and try to fool most of the scholars.

+++++++++++
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the autumn of the 12th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.

This year was the best year for Emperor Chongzhen. Not only did Zhu Changyuan pacify the whole of Shaanxi, he beat Li Zicheng out of the Western Regions. Shaanxi became a land of prosperity almost overnight.

Furthermore, Yang Sichang easily took over Zhu Changyuan's 30 army, and the situation in the court can be said to be stable.

The only thing that annoyed him was that although Zhang Xianzhong was kicked out of Jingxiang, he waved his flag again in Sichuan, sealed all the entrances to Sichuan, and declared himself king.

There is also Xiong Wencan in the land of Jingxiang, who holds a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, and he is not a master who seems to be with him.

In the past, there was no way to deal with Xiong Wencan, so the court just pretended to be a snake with him, but now the situation is different. Not only the land of Liaodong has become stable, but Shaanxi has also been stabilized, and Chongzhen's thoughts suddenly became active.

So now that there is no war in the whole world, is it possible to do this and let Yang Sichang's 20 troops rush from Shaanxi to Sichuan and Jingxiang to suppress bandits?

It has to be said that people are animals that like to torture themselves. Once this kind of thought sprouts in their hearts, it is like spring grass, which will grow crazily when it encounters spring rain.

Before ten days had arrived, Emperor Chongzhen, regardless of the objections of his ministers, gave orders to Yang Sichang in Shaanxi twice in succession, asking him to lead troops south to recover the land of Shu.

According to Chongzhen's conception, once Zhang Xianzhong in Shu was wiped out, the land of Jingxiang would be surrounded by enemies, outnumbered, and Xiong Wencan's end would come at that time.

However, the result went far beyond everyone's expectations.

Yang Sichang led troops to attack Shu, and it looked like a mighty army of more than 20. Unfortunately, he was not Zhu Changyuan, he did not have a hanger, and he did not have modern weapons. The most important thing is that everyone underestimated Zhang Xianzhong. fighting power.

Isn't it great to watch him run away in embarrassment after being beaten by Zhu Changyuan, even crying?Do you think Zhu Changyuan is awesome?Is it true that Zhang Xianzhong is a wimp?
Crap, of course.

It's a pity that this is not the case. It's not that Zhang Xianzhong is too useless, but that Zhu Changyuan is too strong, so strong that people already think highly of him, but unfortunately, they still look down on him.

For example, this time, Yang Sichang's 20 troops arrived in Shu. At the beginning, they were vigorous and mighty. Unfortunately, after more than ten days of continuous hopping in Shu, they realized that Shu was not so easy to defeat.

First, Yang Sichang's grain road was cut off. Then, Zhang Xianzhong took full advantage of the two years of running the middle of Shu to start a guerrilla war with Yang Sichang. One month later, Yang Sichang suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to Shaanxi with the defeated army, disgraced.

It is very serious for the Ming Dynasty if the land of Shu is not defeated, right?

No, it doesn't matter. However, a major event happened suddenly after Yang Sichang sent troops: Huang Taiji sent troops brazenly, suddenly plundered Jinzhou, and once again launched a big war in the Northeast.

This is the so-called move the whole body. If Yang Sichang hadn't led 20 people to sweep the land of Shu and returned in failure, I am afraid that Huang Taiji would not have sent troops to attack Jinzhou so easily!
This time, Huang Taiji learned the lessons from the failure of attacking Ningyuan and looting Jinzhou in the past, and adopted the measures of besieging but not attacking and cutting off its food roads. It was really a bang, and almost beat the Ming Dynasty's army in Liaodong to the point where they couldn't take care of themselves.

Daming is not a fool either. Seeing that Huang Taiji is approaching menacingly, and he is not ready to go back for a while, he immediately dispatches troops, and dispatches 13 elite troops from Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou, Shanxi, Guyuan, and even Ningxia and Gansu. People, went to Liaodong to help.

Not to be outdone, Huang Taiji not only brought [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, but also joined forces with Mongolia to attack and plunder the Ming Dynasty!
The war is about to start!
