Ministry of War.
Gu Pu, who was promoted to Minister, looked at Tie Xuan's livid face and felt uneasy. He couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Bu Tang, what happened?"
Tie Xuan handed the Yangjiang battle report to Gu Pu, and said in a low and murderous voice: "Pirates, Japanese pirates! If we don't wipe them out completely and avenge the soldiers who died in Yangjiang, I, Tie Xuan, will not be the Minister of the Ministry of War. !”
Gu Pu looked at the battle report, trembled all over, and asked in shock: "How could this happen?"
Tie Xuan grabbed the document and strode out of the Ministry of War office. Before he had walked a few steps, he saw Mei Yin who was hurried out. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Rong Guo was in such a hurry. Could it be because of the incident in Yangjiang?"
Seeing that it was Tie Xuan, Mei Yin nodded repeatedly: "I just received the document, and I am still in shock. It is really heartbreaking that Yangjiang has suffered such a disaster."
"Let's go to the cabinet first."
Tie Hyun stretched out his hand.
Mei Yin had an angry look on his face. This anger was not entirely because of what happened in Yangjiang, but because Xu Huizu had only been away for a long time. He took over the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He had just become familiar with the situation, and suddenly such a big incident happened. , isn’t this a direct slap in the face?
Whoever doesn't make themselves feel better, I will never make them feel better!
Chen Zuyi?
Why isn’t this damn pirate dead yet?
Japanese?
Your sister, her legs are not long, but her arms are stretched out long enough!
As soon as he arrived at the cabinet, he saw the chamberlain delivering a message, and happened to go all the way to Wuying Palace. As for Chen Hui, the deputy chief of the Navy, he was on the Yangtze River, so it would take some time to get here.
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the indignant Tie Xuan and Mei Yin, and then at the calm Jie Jin and Yu Xin. He didn't say anything, just to comfort a few people and wait for Chen Hui.
After Chen Hui heard the news, he galloped into the capital. After entering the palace, he knelt down and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!"
Yu Xin and Jie Jin frowned.
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand: "Get up and discuss."
Chen Hui stood up and stood behind Mei Yin.
Zhu Yunwen looked serious: "You must also know the news about Yangjiang Shipyard. Pirate Chen Zuyi and Japanese sergeants broke into Yangjiang waters and launched a surprise attack on Yangjiang Shipyard. The Yangjiang shipyard's sergeants suffered heavy losses and more than two hundred craftsmen were robbed. The shipyard was completely destroyed. Tell me, what do you think of this matter?"
Tie Xuan did not wait for Xie Jin and Yu Xin to speak, and said first: "Your Majesty, the Yangjiang Shipyard was attacked by pirates and the shipwrights were robbed. If we don't use thunderous means to take action, it will damage the prestige of our Ming Dynasty. Once this happens, the Nanyang General Chaos! I request the emperor to mobilize the navy troops to conduct an all-out search, encircle and suppress Chen Zuyi’s troops, in order to annihilate them all and restore the prestige of the country!"
Mei Yin and Chen Hui stood up: "I second the proposal!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xie Jin and Yu Xin. Yu Xin hesitated for a moment, then walked out and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should not be taken too hastily. At present, the main force of the navy has gone to the West and will not be able to return in a short time. With the current headquarters of the navy, The power can only protect important coastal areas and cruise the Nanyang merchant sea lanes. If we rashly deploy naval forces to attack and search everywhere, it will easily cause loopholes and give pirates an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Tie Xuan frowned and said sternly: "Is it possible that Yu Ge is opposed to sending troops?"
Yu Xin shook his head and said seriously: "Yu is not against sending troops, but is stating the facts. The current strength of the navy is simply not enough to search the sea area. Once the strength is drawn out to enter the deep sea, it is likely to be in vain. On the contrary, it weakens the coastal defenses. If the pirates seize the opportunity and launch another attack on Quanzhou, Taicang Prefecture, and Tianjin, can we afford such losses?"
Chen Hui walked out and refuted Yu Xin: "The navy is the navy of the Ming Dynasty. Now that Yangjiang is experiencing disaster, the navy is standing still. Doesn't it mean that the navy will bear infamy and become a shame to the world? Your Majesty, I would rather die than be a bastard. I want to be a bastard." , just leave those who shrink back!"
"Who do you think is the bastard?"
Yu Xin was angry.
Chen Hui was not afraid and pushed forward: "Whoever shrinks his head is the bastard!"
Yu Xinqiu panted and shouted to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, how can such a vulgar person speak nonsense in this Wuying Palace!"
Zhu Yunwen's face darkened: "That's enough, just say what you want to say, and don't insinuate others."
Although Chen Hui was scolded, he did not restrain himself at all: "Your Majesty, I am a military general and a rough man. I can't write any peace articles, and I don't understand any military affairs. I only know that if anyone bullies us, we should fight with them." Do it to the end.”
Yu Xin said angrily: "Opening your mouth and shutting up is like fighting and killing. You have to open your eyes and see if you can do it! Regardless of reality, consequences, and difficulties, you are a reckless man!"
Just as Chen Hui was about to fight back, Xie Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I support the navy in sending troops to attack Chen Zuyi's troops, but what Yu Ge said needs to be considered. At the moment, the navy is indeed responsible for the security of important coastal towns. , the naval force is also very weak and cannot be easily mobilized. Coupled with the changes in the northwest, the construction of Peking also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the navy still needs to bear part of the task of transporting to the north. Besides, if you want to spend a short time on the vast sea It is extremely difficult to find Chen Zuyi inside..."
Mei Yin frowned and looked at Jie Jin and Yu Xin. The two of them had reached a consensus: they couldn't use the Navy.
How can this work!
Before Xu Huizu left, he confessed that Zhu Yunwen was a monarch with great ambitions. He would never allow others to bully the Ming Dynasty. The Tatars bullied him, and now he has moved twice. Annan bullied him, and now he has become Jiaozhi. Baidadian was bullied, and now eight hundred wives have remarried. Timur wants to bully, and Zhu Di has already set off with an army of 100,000...
Facts have proved that Zhu Yunwen has no idea of compromise when it comes to military issues. If you punch me, I will take half of your life. If you kick me, I will take your life. If it is more serious, I may have to plow. Tingsao acupoint, if you don't fight to the death, the outcome will not be determined.
Now Chen Zuyi has bullied Daming, and even the Japanese have bullied Daming. With Zhu Yunwen's temper, he will never let this matter pass easily. In this case, we can only take the lead!
By the way, in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, what the soldiers want is military merit. If they don't lead the battle, can they still lead the peace?
Mei Yin scolded Xie Jin and Yu Xin: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Xie Jin and Yu Xin. The national crisis is at the forefront. I only talk about the difficulties, regardless of the national conditions, the national will, and the military morale and military sentiment. They should be severely punished."
Xie Jin and Yu Xin's expressions are a bit ugly. Why can't you guys see clearly? How can the treasury still have so much money to support the water war? You've already borrowed money to build a well, how do you expect to have more money to fight the war?
You don’t really think that the Navy doesn’t need military pay, supplies, or food when it goes to war, right?
"Tell me carefully."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Mei Yin.
Mei Yin was solemn and his voice rose a few degrees: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although young people have occasionally invaded the coast, there has never been such a tragic incident. The precedent of founding the national conditions should be considered as the most important thing and all the efforts should be taken. We should fight with all our strength. In the past few years, the imperial court has defeated Annan, established Jiaozhi, defeated Yuan Dynasty, and defeated 800 Dadian. Whenever the word Ming Dynasty is mentioned, the people are extremely proud and proud. The national heart is here, who dares to act against the people's people? ? If the imperial court sends out navy masters, it will be an act of conformity to the people!"
"Needless to say, military morale. All sergeants are men. As good men of the Ming Dynasty, how can we allow the pirates and Japanese to invade without any action? If the imperial court does not send troops to attack, how can the morale of the military be stable? Who will protect the family in the future? Country, what can we use to commemorate the souls of the soldiers who died in the battle? Besides, the war has begun, and there is only one way to fight. How can there be other words? Why are there so many difficulties? Superfluous!" Mei Yin was angry, and Yu Xin and Xie Jin couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. , and it’s hard to refute.
Zhu Yunwen nodded heavily and looked at Xie Jin and Yu Xin: "What you said makes sense. Yes, the main force of the navy is not there, and there are not many soldiers who are good at water warfare. The imperial court is under great pressure, but as Rong Guogong said, The war has begun and there is only one way to fight.”
Xie Jin lamented and said: "I am just concerned about the lack of protection along the coast..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Chen Hui and asked: "Given two months to Longjiang Shipyard, how many treasure ships can be put into the sea?"
Chen Hui said quickly: "In two months, there should be no problem in launching a large treasure ship and two medium treasure ships that are being built into the sea. It's just that, Your Majesty, such a big thing has happened at the Yangjiang Shipyard. There are no people, and countless sergeants are watching the court. , we don’t have two months to wait!”
Zhu Yunwen calculated that in two months, the navy would be able to free up at least five treasure ships, which would be enough to sweep across Southeast Asia. But as Chen Hui said, Ming Dynasty did not have two months.
But, not necessarily.
The next day, there was a meeting at Fengtian Palace.
The Yangjiang Shipyard Incident caused a stir in the whole court, and many people called for war.
Zhu Yunwen issued three decrees in succession:
The first decree:
"I am ordering all the countries in Southeast Asia to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in capturing Chen Zuyi and his leaders, and warn their countries that anyone who takes in, blocks, or protects Chen Zuyi and other pirates will be the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The navy is coming, and the power of God is coming!"
The second decree:
"The participation of Japanese soldiers in the Yangjiang Shipyard is clear evidence that Japan has declared war on the Ming Dynasty. From now on, the Ming Dynasty will declare war on the Japanese country. Any Japanese who appear in the East China Sea, the Southeast China Sea, and the Nanyang Sea will be killed without mercy!"
The third will:
"The king of Korea, Li Fangyuan, is ordered to cut off trade with Japan from now on, and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to block Japan. Ming Dynasty will send a navy to North Korea to discuss with Li Fangyuan the war against Japan, and the use of sea lanes and supplies."
After the three decrees were issued, Zhu Yunwen ordered the Navy's deputy commander Chen Hui and staff general Geng Xuan to take 3,000 naval personnel near Beijing to the South China Sea. At the same time, he ordered the Quanzhou Navy, Guangzhou Navy, Aizhou Port Navy, and Jiugang Navy The Navy sent out its main force to blockade the Nanyang, South China Sea, and Southeast China Sea.
Even if the Northwest War was imminent, even if the capital was building a positive momentum, even if the household department was in difficulty, Zhu Yunwen did not give in, and the Ming Dynasty navy and sergeants did not choose to give in!
As a ship goes to sea, as the sergeant goes away, and as the letters rush southward, a situation sweeping the southeast and the East China Sea officially begins.
Liu Changge trembled. It was not until this moment that he realized how huge Zhu Yunwen's plot was. A Yangjiang-based trick that resulted in a piece of sea and an island!
No wonder Zhu Yunwen wants to send Zhu Quan to Nanyang. I'm afraid only such a monster can control such a big situation, right?
No, the real evildoer is Zhu Yunwen, he is the chess player behind all this!
Could it be said that this is the ability of an emperor?
The affairs of the Ming Dynasty were complicated, and the affairs in the northwest were even more tense and depressing at the moment. But who would have thought that besides all the complexity and complexity, Zhu Yunwen was thinking about another overall situation.
Liu Changge is not worried about the Nanyang countries. These small countries will definitely cooperate with the Ming Dynasty and will never hand over their ports and coasts to pirates. But there are always exceptions, right?
It was impossible for Chen Zuyi to build a ship on the sea with his craftsmen. If he wanted a ship, he could only go to a large island or a large island country. After looking at the map, there were really not many places for him to stay.
The prologue has begun. Who is the protagonist in this play and who is the most brilliant?
Liu Changge was looking forward to it.
ps:
I have something to do at home tomorrow, I have to go out, I guess I won’t be able to update it, I’ll take a day off, please forgive me.
