I'm a big dick

Chapter 552 Liaodong Deployment, Dutch Ghost
Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai were shocked. They didn't expect the emperor to be so shrewd that he would take the old way.

Cracking the soil and dividing the grass, conferring titles on the soil, isn't it a prince?That seems to have happened thousands of years ago, and it hasn't happened since the Tang Dynasty.

The world is so big and there are so many lands, whoever grabs it will own it.There are plenty of fiefdoms overseas, and they just use this name to expand their territories.

The emperor didn't give an in-depth explanation, and turned around to explain to Gou Zhenhuai.

There is only one Dongjiang town left in the Liaodong theater, but it is divided into two parts.With the Liaohe River as the boundary, it is divided into the Eastern Theater and the Western Theater.

The Western War Zone is centered on Guangning, with Uiju as its outpost, serving as the backing of the naturalized Nekhka tribes.The main task is to support the naturalized Mongolian tribes and resist Lin Dan Khan's attack.

With Liaoshen as the center and Jianzhou as the outpost, the Eastern Theater is the base for advancing northward and eliminating the remnants of Jiannu.

Of course, the deployment of troops in the two major theaters is that the eastern theater is stronger than the western theater. The main force in the eastern theater is the naturalized flying cavalry battalion led by Man Gui, and the flying cavalry battalion and spear cavalry battalion led by Cao Bianjiao and Fan Hualong.

The troops in the Western Theater are fully equipped with horses and cavalry, and the main generals include Zhang Pan, Yang Guozhu, Liu Xingzuo and others.

Mao Wenlong is the head coach, Gou Zhenhuai and Chen Jisheng are the deputy commanders, in charge of the West Theater and East Theater respectively.In other words, the three high-level generals in Dongjiang Town have basically remained unchanged.

But such an arrangement also has a deep meaning. Gou Zhenhuai was born in the Zhenfu Division, and he is better at conspiracy, which is more beneficial to the division of the Mongolian tribes.

And Chen Jisheng fought countless battles with Jiannu, with a calm personality, advancing northward, step by step, which should also be his strength.

Mao Wenlong, as the coach, sits in Shenyang most of the time and just directs the battle.

The emperor explained the general arrangement, glanced at Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai, and asked with a smile, "You two dear ministers, do you have any additions or suggestions."

Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed and said: "Long live the wise and powerful, I feel that it is perfect."

The transfer of generals is also normal. Although he was not consulted in advance, some of the transfers were his cronies.But in Mao Wenlong's view, this is also a test for him.

The generals of the border town, far away from the court, are most afraid of accusations of self-respect, domineering and unruly.

What's more, Dongjiang Town is Daming's army, and he is Daming's general.How dare you show dissatisfaction and lead to the suspicion of appointing cronies?
Gou Zhenhuai also bowed to agree, the decision has been made, not necessarily the emperor's intention, but it must be the result of discussion with the Ministry of War.

The emperor didn't give much explanation, since he was the emperor, it would be condescending to ask a question, and it would seem weird to say more.

Of course, if Mao Wenlong raised objections to the transfer of generals, he would not have to return to Liaodong.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Mao Wenlong to regard it as a test.

Seeing that nothing happened, the emperor rewarded the two with clothing and property, and the two thanked each other and left.

The hall was empty, the emperor closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the dragon chair, thought for a while, and then got up to leave.

The matter in Liaodong is basically determined, and the rest is reconstruction, saving food and supplies, building ships and warships, and advancing northward for the camp step by step.

As for exterminating the slaves, it was already a task that was easily completed.

When a stone fell to the ground, the emperor felt relieved.Although the financial pressure is still there, it is no longer a major issue related to the survival of the country. He also has many ways to make money.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, the emperor went directly to Concubine Zhang Yu.The two cute little princesses are his favorites now, he thinks about them if they don't see each other for two days, and it's like losing something if they don't hug them for three days.

"Father!"

"Father!"

When the two pink and jade-carved little girls screamed childishly and threw themselves into the emperor's arms, it was the time when the emperor's heart was about to fly and he was the happiest and most comfortable.

At this time, Concubine Zhang Yu looked at it with a smile all over her face, she didn't say much, and her heart was full of joy.

The more stable the throne is, the more peaceful the world will be, and the happier will be the women and offspring, and there will be no ups and downs or even death in the end of the dynasty.

The emperor smiled heartily, and gently touched his daughter's little cheek, feeling that he had accomplished a great event.Renew the life of the Ming Empire, so that tens of thousands of Ming people can live in peace.

.........................
The emperor wanted to expand the territory and regain Chengzu's idea of ​​expansion strategy, the first thing he understood was not the court ministers, nor the Liaodong officers and soldiers, but the navy led by Shen Yourong.

Sailor, the traditional name of Ming Dynasty has not changed in the past few years.But in terms of authority and nature, there are already divisions.

Needless to say, the inland navy is still retained; the offshore navy, that is, the old naval force of Ming Dynasty, is decreasing in number year by year, while the newly formed East China Sea Fleet and South China Sea Fleet are constantly expanding.

There are more than 200 large and medium-sized ships and more than [-] artillery pieces every year, basically no less than this number.

Over the past few years, Ming's two major fleets have each had a size of more than two hundred large and medium-sized ships.If you add small ships, there are more than [-] ships.

The Capital Firearms Bureau, Guangzhou Weapons Bureau, and Nanjing Weapons Bureau, the three major military factories complement each other through the flow of talents, and hired Portuguese technicians to cast Hongyi cannons (long-barreled cannons) and short-barreled cannons on warships.

However, the Hongyi cannons originally planned to be equipped with the army to attack fortifications were only partly equipped in Ningyuan, and all of them were transferred to the two major fleets.

Because, with flintlock muskets, bayonets, and other small and medium-sized artillery, Jiannu can already be beaten to the ground, and the heavy and expensive Hongyi cannons cannot play a greater role.

Even the Hongyi cannons were not cast and equipped for the two major fleets, but the Garang cannons were made a lot, and the cost was much lower than that of the Hongyi cannons.

Such a quantity scale made the emperor somewhat relieved.Although it is still not certain that they can defeat the Xiyi fleet in Asia on an expedition, but on the coast of Daming, it is already enough to defend against the enemy.

And just when the emperor had finished arranging the post-war affairs in Liaodong and had just enjoyed a few days of leisure, a piece of information made him frowned again.

According to reports from maritime merchants and secret spies placed by various Southeast Asian countries, the Dutch are preparing to dispatch their fleet to the South China Sea.Their target is of course not Daming, but the Portuguese in Macau.

The Dutch thought that if the Portuguese could occupy Macau, they would not be considered a war with Ming Dynasty if they snatched it from the Portuguese.According to Daming's attitude towards the Portuguese, they can also gain a foothold in Macau.

What shit logic?After receiving the information, the emperor hurried away in the hall annoyed, feeling incomprehensible to Xiyi's thinking.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.It's also the fault of the Ming court, and even more the fault of the Ming emperor, for creating such an impression on Xiyi.

The Dutch occupied Penghu a few years ago. Although they were defeated by the Daming Navy, they relied on their superiority in numbers and manpower. Obviously, the Dutch ghosts did not realize their mistakes.

Because of this, they are making a comeback.

It seems that if they don't teach them a profound lesson, they won't understand the changed foreign policy of Ming Dynasty today.
