Zhu Yi led the Ningbo Navy to gain a firm foothold in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and with the victories at sea, he brought down the Satsuma Domain, the largest force on Kyushu Island, from the altar.
Zhu Yi's memorial also arrived in Beijing half a month ago.
After Zhu Jianshen saw it, he was quite happy, but he was not carried away by the excitement. He ordered Zhu Yi and Yang Zheng to immediately prepare for landing operations and then occupy the entire Kyushu Island.
Because he knew that victory at sea was just the beginning. The Japanese country was still different from North Korea and Annan. It needed to be tempered slowly. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Annan, North Korea borders the Ming Dynasty, and has surrendered to the central court several times in history.
The relationship between Japan and the Ming Dynasty was relatively small. Looking across the sea, the sea became Japan's biggest barrier.
It is very difficult to conquer Japan.
The next step after winning the victory at sea is to land on Kyushu Island. According to the news from inside Kyushu Island, now is not the best time to launch a full-scale war on Kyushu Island.
Because of the imbalance of power at the top, the Satsuma clan did not have the strength to control the entire Kyushu Island, and they had to face a new power reshuffle.
Many daimyo have severed ties with the Satsuma clan and refused to submit confessions. Should the Satsuma clan choose to give up their dominance, or send troops to conquer, the so-called power reshuffle must be completed through war, and this Once the war within Kyushu Island begins, it will not end in a short time. biquge.biz
Whether it was Yang Zheng on Tsushima Island or Zhu Yi on Ryukyu Kingdom, they all wrote to Zhu Jianshen to wait and see what happens, and wait until the situation on Kyushu Island becomes more chaotic before sending troops to Kyushu Island...
Of course, the most important thing is that Ming Dynasty is not ready yet.
The Ming Dynasty needs to increase its troops and deploy them to the Ryukyu Kingdom and Tsushima Island. This will also make the Ming Dynasty's transportation by sea even more difficult...especially on the Tsushima Island...
There are more and more fleets going to sea in the south. While many officials and businessmen are enjoying huge maritime benefits, the Maritime Affairs Department is also reaping the benefits.
Last year alone, the Maritime Affairs Department paid 230,000 taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty, which was as much as the government's tax revenue for one year...
The seventh child, Zhu Youtang, was also brought back to the capital from Nanjing by Ji Yao at the beginning of the month...
Kaganoko in Beijing gave birth to a son for Zhu Jianshen two months ago, and it was also Zhu Jianshen's eighth son. However, her own situation did not change much because she gave birth to a son for the emperor. , Zhu Jianshen would not tell her what happened on Kyushu Island, and he would always treat her coldly.
However, Kaganoko did not have any panic because she gave birth to a prince.
But after the prince was full moon, Zhu Jianshen sent someone to take the child away and gave it to Queen Zhang Yan to raise, and named the child Zhu You.
The child was taken away, and Kaganoko panicked.
She always wanted to ask to see Zhu Jianshen, but she always got her wish.
It is useless to deal with such an ambitious and scheming woman unless all her inner defenses are broken down...
One month after the child was taken away, when Kaganoko was about to collapse, Zhu Jianshen summoned her.
This time, Kaganoko stopped pretending. In order to seize the hard-won opportunity, she revealed all her ambitions for Kyushu Island... She also asked to be allowed to return to Kyushu Island. Only when she returned to Kagami He family, she had the opportunity to raise troops to help the Ming Dynasty conquer the Satsuma clan. The best thing is to send the prince Zhu Youzhen to her side to raise him. Only in this way can the prince learn the language of the Japanese country and return to Kyushu Island in the future. Go and rule there.
But when Zhu Jianshen said lightly, Satsuma Domain Shimazu Tachihisa is dead, and Ming Dynasty does not need the help of your Kaga family, it has defeated the Satsuma Domain.
Kaganoko's worldview collapsed once again.
And this time Zhu Jianshen didn't give her much time. After the chat, he was taken away...
Entering the hottest season, the entire palace was very stuffy.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the memorial and felt quite anxious in his heart. When Zhu Jianshen was thinking of going to the Imperial Garden to relax and enjoy the cool air, Gao Yi walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Jixiang and Wang Zhi are asking for an audience."
After Zhu Jianshen's righteous voice, he raised his head: "Let him come in." As he spoke, Zhu Jianshen put down the memorial.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, Cao Jixiang and Wang Zhi entered the Qianqing Palace.
After the ceremony, Cao Jixiang said directly: "Your Majesty, after years of preparation, the Eastern Shipping fleet is fully prepared. I request your Majesty to allow the fleet to go to sea."
The original plan was to leave last year, but this was delayed for more than half a year.
Zhu Jianshen nodded: "Yes, Ningbo's warships can be transferred back to Dengzhou..."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Cao Jixiang, who was getting older, and sighed. After going to the New World this time, they would not come back so soon. They needed to open up wasteland in the New World, live there, and then return to the Ming Dynasty. It would take many years, and Cao Jixiang's I am getting older, and it is still unknown whether I can withstand the bumps on the sea and come back after arriving in the New World this time.
"This time I go to sea, although I have a chart, I still need to be more careful. I am waiting for your triumphant return."
"Your Majesty, this slave will definitely come back..." Cao Jixiang nodded heavily. He also understood why the emperor spoke like this. In fact, he also knew in his heart that his trip this time was more likely to be bad than good.
Then, Zhu Jianshen looked at Wang Zhi behind Cao Jixiang. Contrary to Cao Jixiang's old age, Wang Zhi had grown into an adult.
After meeting the emperor, Cao Jixiang took Wang Zhi to Dengzhou...
This time when he set off again, Cao Jixiang did not visit any old friends, including Xu Youzhen.
Everything is ready.
The second voyage to the east begins.
After a delay of half a year, Cao Jixiang's large fleet finally set off from Dengzhou and once again embarked on a voyage to the New World.
Although I have already gone through it once and have detailed navigation directions, there will be great dangers whenever I go out to sea.
Cao Jixiang's eastward voyage fleet exceeded Zheng He's voyage fleet for the first time, both in terms of number of people and number of ships.
There are 35,000 people, 18 large treasure ships, and more than 70 ships of various types...
And Wang Zhi was on the main ship, studying beside Cao Jixiang, and began his life at sea...
………………
Without further ado, let’s resume normal updates. There have been a lot of things these past few days, and they have almost been dealt with now. I was delayed for two days and will slowly make up for it this month...
