"Are you sure you don't regret it?"
"No regrets!"
Zheng Zhilong's response was sonorous and forceful, and he would be a fool to regret it.
The importance of martial arts halls will be highlighted in a few years.
When Jiannu and the Mongolian tribes are wiped out, it will be difficult to get promoted without a major war. The martial arts hall is a convenient way, and he must seize this opportunity.
More importantly, Yuan Keli's words reminded him that a few years later, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor really wanted to get rid of him, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
Seeing that Zheng Zhilong agreed, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
He has his own ideas. Fusang must be killed. And Zheng Sen is half of Fusang's blood. If he accepts Fusang's education, what will he do in the future?
Moreover, although Zheng Chenggong was a national hero who fought against the Dutch, he also said: "I want to be a phoenix who can control everything. I don't want to be a tiger or leopard in the trap. I only want to serve from afar and cannot be controlled by others."
These two factors must be brought back first to instill in the Ming Dynasty the idea of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
After Zheng Chenggong has been taught well, and with the interests of the caravan, Zheng Zhilong has to serve the Ming Dynasty honestly.
"Since he has returned to Ming Dynasty, I will give him a name. From now on, he will be called Zheng Chenggong."
"Work hard and you will succeed! What a moral!"
"A successful person must be able to withstand loneliness and noise. Your Majesty is warning him!"
Listening to the harmony between Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed and bowed down again.
No matter what the meaning is, it is a great honor to be given a name by the emperor, not to mention a name with such a good meaning.
At this moment, his heart felt like a roller coaster and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for the name on behalf of Quanzi. I will revise the genealogy when I return to Nan'an this time!"
"Get up!"
Chongzhen waved his hand: "I will tell you the key points of the next development. First, stay in the capital for a while and familiarize yourself with some of the recent national policies of the imperial court.
Second, go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to look for drawings of warships. You can listen to some suggestions from Mao Yuanyi, the deputy director of Jiangwu Hall. They have a large collection of books. You can see if there are any drawings of warships;
Third, after returning to Nan'an, immediately build a large naval base and several shipyards. I will ask the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with you on this;
Fourth, organize information about the overseas countries you have visited, including customs, geographical environment, military strength, etc.;
Fifth, bring back some warships from overseas countries for our study. I heard that the warships of the Dutch East India Company are good, so I will bring some back.
Zheng Aiqing, I give you one year. I don’t require you to build all the warships. At least you can directly kill the Japanese pirates and other overseas countries’ provocations.
In three years, I want absolute dominance in the South China Sea. Can I do it? "
"I will live up to your majesty's trust! As long as they dare to come, I can feed them to the bastards!"
"Okay, I'll wait and see. When it's successful, I'll personally celebrate it for you!"
After some explanation, Zheng Zhilong was allowed to leave.
But as soon as Zheng Zhilong left Dongnuan Pavilion, Li Ruolian hurried into Dongnuan Pavilion with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, the three Qi brothers want to see you!"
"Qi family?"
Chongzhen had some doubts in his eyes, but then he responded: "You mean Qi Jin's three sons are here? I seem to remember that they are called Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Qi...what?"
"Your Majesty, the third child's name is Yuan Bi."
Li Ruolian quickly added, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have asked, they are here to present the two military books "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Military Training Record" written by Qi Shaobao, as well as Qi Shaobao's military experience. There are other things."
"Other things?"
"Do you want to come out and serve the country?"
"It's not impossible!"
Yuan Keli smiled and said: "Your Majesty rehabilitated Qi Shaobao and gave him the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. He also built a meritorious service temple for him and dealt with the culprit Wang Bao.
Now that His Majesty has surrounded and killed Jiannu and achieved a great victory, I guess they are also moved by this situation.
The Qi family has always been loyal to the court. After Qi Shaobao's unjust death, Qi Jin, Qi Shaobao's nephew, asked himself to leave the country, led the troops to fight against the slaves, and finally died in the Battle of Hunhe River. This is enough to prove it!
Two generations of loyal men from one family, how could future generations really ignore it? Now is probably the time. "
"This is a great blessing for the country!"
Chongzhen sighed, and then a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he quickly said: "It is said that Qi Yuangong and the three of them have an audience, and Zheng Zhilong should be brought back as soon as possible!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zheng Zhilong, who looked confused, and Qi Yuangong, who was carrying a large box, entered Dongnuan Pavilion.
After saluting, Zheng Zhilong stepped aside and stood with his hands down.
Qi Yuangong opened the box and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these are the military books written by my great-uncle himself, as well as his annotations and insights on other military books, as well as some thoughts and ideas on Ji Zhen's defense line.
As well as my father’s experience in marching and setting up battle formations, all of them are dedicated to His Majesty! "
"Three of you are interested!"
Chongzhen said, walked to the box, picked up a book, and saw that it was densely annotated with red pen, and there were annotations between the lines.
As he watched, Chongzhen fell in, as did Yuan Keli and others.
For a time, the only sounds left in Dongnuan Pavilion were the sound of turning pages of books and occasional exclamations.
To be honest, as long as you have decent talent and have grown up in the military, you can become a qualified general with these two military books.
These two books can be used as teaching materials for the martial arts training courses for generals.
After a while, Chongzhen put down the book, picked up some of the books and handed them to Zheng Zhilong: "Zheng Aiqing, these books are Qi Jiguang's records of the battle with Japanese pirates in Fujian and his analysis of Japanese pirates.
Make a copy and take it home for a closer look. It should be helpful! "
"I obey the decree!"
Zheng Zhilong carefully took the book handed over by Chongzhen, as if he had found a treasure, and then said: "Your Majesty, General Qi's "New Book of Jixiao" contains chapters on water warfare and naval warfare.
"Records of Military Training" includes chapters on the selection and training of generals and the conditions they should meet, such as "General Theory of Training and Training", "Baojian of General Officers' Arrivals" and "Dictation on the Stage".
Can Rong Chen also make a copy of it and take it back to study it carefully so that I can have a reference when building the Nanhai Navy Fleet? "
"The two military books are of great importance. I will arrange for someone to make a copy for you and give it to you when you go back!"
Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed with the emperor's permission.
Qi Jiguang is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. Up to now, two of the top ten military books in China were written by him. His thoughts on the art of war are so amazing. This is the treasure of military generals.
These few copied military books alone make this trip worthwhile.
After arranging Zheng Zhilong, Chongzhen turned his attention to Qi Yuangong and the others again: "On behalf of the imperial court, I would like to thank you three. I heard from Li Ruolian that besides submitting military documents, do you have anything else to do?"
Hearing the emperor ask himself, a look of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the three of them.
In the end, Qi Yuangong bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, after my father died in the war, Cao Min and other brothers returned to their hometown. They always studied the military books left by their uncle and father, thinking that they had mastered some of the essence.
Cao Min and three other brothers want to rejoin the army and kill the enemy to serve the country. Please allow your Majesty! "
