I'm a big dick

Chapter 591
Zheng Zhilong laughed, with a relaxed face, and said: "It's just taking over Hao Jing's defense, the Portuguese dare not make mistakes. But the necessary coercion is indispensable."

The emperor had no plan to expel the Portuguese in the short term. Instead, he expanded the commercial port of Guangzhou to make the sea trade more prosperous.

A weakened Portugal is a European trading partner that the Ming Empire can grasp and trust.The reason is simple, it is not a threat to the Ming Empire.

Moreover, if he didn't completely quarrel with the Portuguese, the emperor's eyes were still on Malacca, which was occupied by the Portuguese.

With the strength of Portugal, Malacca cannot be kept.When the Dutch feel that they have enough strength and a stable foundation in Asia, they will send troops to attack.

At that time, the Ming Empire could reap the benefits and obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

Therefore, the emperor allowed Portuguese people to continue living in Haojing.But defense must be controlled by the Ming army, and government affairs are also managed by the government.

This involves the sovereignty of the state, although in feudal times, no one understood this concept.The Portuguese gradually stabilized in Macau, and the reason was that the Central Plains Dynasty did not pay much attention to it and did not understand this truth.

Now there has been a major change. The emperor not only wants to take back the governance of Macau, but also orders the navy to patrol the island, erect stone monuments, and declare sovereignty.

In addition to sovereignty, there is also territory and territorial sea, which the emperor wants to instill and put into practical actions.

Of course, like the new concept introduced by the emperor, it takes a process for people to accept and understand it, not overnight.

Compared with Wang Huazhong, an officer, although Zheng Zhilong didn't have much knowledge, he had a deeper and more thorough understanding of the emperor's will.

Give both grace and grace, and take power lightly.Completed the errand assigned by the emperor cleanly and beautifully, Zheng Zhilong's governance of Hao Jing belonged to him.

Wang Huazhong is the direct idea of ​​a soldier, crushed by strength, no nonsense if he can fight, and solves the Portuguese quickly and thoroughly.

Hehe laughed twice, Wang Huazhong didn't argue with Zheng Zhilong either.After all, Zheng Zhilong is leading the work of taking back the governance of Haojing.

At this moment, Yiqi rode out from the city of Guangzhou and came straight, attracting the eyes of Zheng Zhilong and Wang Huazhong, and they also had guesses and expectations in their hearts.

The rider rushed to the front, got off his horse, and cupped his hands to report: "My lords, there is an urgent report from the navy that the six warships of the Dutch Red Maoyi have all been wiped out. Our army is on its way back to the division."

Zheng Zhilong and Wang Huazhong looked at each other with relaxed smiles.

"So, it's time to invite Gong Xie to come over, and I will have a talk with him." Zheng Zhilong smiled and dusted off his official uniform, with a confident look on his face without hiding it.

Gong Xie was an artillery instructor hired by the imperial court. He was relatively clear about the combat power of the Ming army and could help the Portuguese make rational decisions.

In fact, for the Portuguese in Haojing, as long as the Ming Dynasty cut off their trade or blocked them at sea, it would be enough to put them in a desperate situation.

It's just that the emperor wants to take advantage of this great opportunity to gain the maximum benefit without fighting.In case the Portuguese didn't know good from bad and wiped out hundreds of people, it would not be difficult for Daming.

...................
No matter how the battle with the Dutch is fought, there are only two outcomes. To win a clean victory, or to pay a certain price to win, Macau's governance rights must also be taken back.

The emperor had no doubts about victory. With so many ships, so many artillery pieces, and an astonishing number of rockets, the Dutch were by no means opponents in a swarming melee without tactics.

As for the Portuguese, they have no ships, only one or two armed merchant ships at most; the number is not large, and all armed are only a few hundred people. How can they resist the fully armed regular army?

Therefore, the emperor believed that he was fully prepared for the battle, and he did not need to worry about it.The battle with the Dutch was only a part of the strategic arrangement of the entire empire.

At this time, the emperor was immersed in the happiness of having a son.

In fact, when the empress gave birth to a dragon son, not only the emperor was excited, but also the officials and the common people were also happy.

This is not a concubine, but the queen of the mother of a country.The boy is the legitimate son, and can even be regarded as the prince, although the emperor's canonization and rectification of the name are still needed.

The emperor was excited because he had an heir, which has greatly changed history.He really lost confidence in Zhu Youjian. Human character is hard to change. He really didn't want his reform efforts to be ruined.

The courtiers are excited because the emperor has successors and the inheritance is orderly.In just a few years, the traditional education they have received cannot be changed.

The common people are happy because this is a great event. Whenever there is such a great event, the imperial court will always introduce policies such as tax reduction and exemption, and amnesty to the world.

"Quite!" The emperor drank the fragrant tea and gave brief instructions on the memorial.

Amnesty for the whole world, except for the death row criminals, other criminals will be exiled, Mekong Province, Dongfan, Hainan, Borneo.

That's right, the Maritime Group's development in Borneo requires a lot of manpower, and criminals are the lowest cost.

The same is true in other places, the potential for development is huge, manpower is the most popular, and there is no need to spend money to recruit.

"Quite!" All Shaanxi and disaster-stricken areas will be exempted. Even if there is no big happy event, the emperor will do the same.

The lessons of blood in history, disasters have to pay taxes, forcing the people to rise up, just for stuttering, in order to survive.

If this most basic requirement cannot be met, then what reason is there for the dynasty not to be destroyed?

After dealing with the memorandum, the emperor relaxed, and he did not forget to turn his head to Wang Tiqian and said: "Prince Companion, only celebrate in the palace, don't waste extravagance."

"Your servant obeys the order." Wang Tiqian bowed with joy on his face, "Don't worry, your lord, this servant will definitely hold this great event in a dignified manner, without extravagance and waste."

There is no shortage of festive supplies in the palace, and they are used during the New Year and festivals. Since the emperor has such an order, Wang Tiqian will naturally rack his brains to do it well.

Set up wine and banquets and charge more money.The emperor smiled smugly and dismissed the idea.

Shaoying Academy.

The news spread quickly, but the children were only happy for a while, and most of them didn't take this matter to heart.It would be even more jubilant if it was to add food, or to have a holiday.

But Hai Lanzhu and Bumbutai were different. The two sisters felt that they might be allowed to go home for a long time, or even go back to the grassland at this time of great joy.

"Father is timid, I'm afraid he won't dare to perform?" Hai Lanzhu shook her head uncertainly, her eyes dimmed.

Although the emperor appointed Zaisangbu and a considerable official position, and gave him a house in Beijing, he also released Wu Keshan to Horqin and became Zasak.

But for the two sisters, they stayed in the Shaoying Academy to receive education, and they were only allowed to go home during the holidays.Zaisangbuhe didn't dare to object, and the two sisters couldn't figure out the emperor's intention.
