Hearing this, Anders was a little confused and immediately listened with his ears pricked up.
The other Ming army officers and soldiers present were no exception. They were all very concerned about news about their motherland.
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong smiled and said: "Everything is fine, but for the army to go to America, His Majesty must personally give the order..."
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was shocked and became anxious. He quickly asked: "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Didn't you say everything is fine?"
If something unexpected happened to Emperor Chongzhen, Ming Dynasty's national policy or other matters would probably undergo earth-shaking changes. The most important thing is that since King Qin began to feel the mighty favor of the emperor, he would rather have other major things happen in the country, such as another bandit, than have anything happen to Emperor Chongzhen.
Hearing his words and seeing his panic and the panic of other soldiers, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's okay! Sir, it's a good thing to listen to the general, it's a good thing!"
He was afraid that he would be interrupted by them making a fuss before he spoke, so he explained it in advance.
After hearing what he said, Sun Chuanting finally felt as if he had taken a reassurance. He regained his composure and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, tell me."
That being said, he was still a little curious as to what good thing had caused the emperor to delay sending reinforcements for at least two years?
Zheng Zhilong did not dare to tempt people, and quickly said to them: "Shortly after your expedition to America, Your Majesty received news that the Mughal Empire sent troops to invade our border with Dongwu, so he led 20,000 cavalry from the Tianshan Mountains. The imperial commander personally conquered the Mughal Empire, and in less than two years, he destroyed the country, split its territory, and enfeoffed three vassal kings."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor was conducting the expedition himself and was not in the capital, so it was no wonder.
As soon as he felt relaxed, the people around him started talking and laughing.
"It turns out that the emperor is on an expedition again. Just be fine!"
"I don't know which small country in the corner actually wants the emperor to personally conquer it! If the governor is here, I can share the emperor's worries!"
"No, that kind of small vassal country can be destroyed by the governor at will!"
"..."
When these people spoke, they were obviously trying to flatter Sun Chuanting.
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he coughed and said, "Shut up, please!"
The flattery was slapped on the horse's feet, and the guards didn't take it seriously. Anyway, they didn't hear that the governor was really angry.
After training his men, Sun Chuanting asked Zheng Zhilong with concern: "Hengjiu, where are Jiutai and the others? How are they?"
Hengjiu is the nickname of Hong Chengchou, and Jiutai is the nickname of Lu Xiangsheng.
In today's Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting can look down on others, but he knows the abilities of these two people and is not so arrogant that he can overpower them.
Therefore, when he thought about it, if both of them were still alive, there seemed to be no need for the emperor's personal conquest, right?
Zheng Zhilong heard what these personal guards said before, and he understood what was going on. At this time, when Sun Chuanting asked again, he smiled and replied: "Master Hong is the governor of Tianshan, and Master Lu is responsible for reorganizing the troops of various guards. They are all fine. But the most important thing about the emperor's personal expedition is not because the two adults have something to do." , but the Mughal Empire was too far away, and..."
Having said this, he looked at the guards and then said: "The Mughal Empire was built by the descendants of the Mongols and occupied the Buddhist Kingdom. It covered a huge area and did not belong to the previous Ming Dynasty territory. And the Mughal Empire With well-equipped soldiers and sufficient food, he can expand his territory and become the hegemon in South Asia."
Hearing this, a kind of personal guard couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
Originally, they thought that the Mughal Empire, which they had never heard of, must be some small vassal state in the corner. The Ming Dynasty was so powerful that it could be destroyed easily. It was only then that I realized that the Mughal Empire was such a large and powerful country.
"We are building road infrastructure everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and the lives of the people in the Ming Dynasty are getting better and better day by day." Zheng Zhilong continued to introduce, "In order to conquer the Mughal Empire without affecting the country, the emperor decided to conquer the Mughal Empire personally, and in the end it did not cost the country much. With money and food, the Mughal Empire was destroyed!”
"Your Majesty is as heroic as ever!" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and saluted in the direction of the capital, and said with emotion.
Although Sun Chuanting himself felt that he was very powerful in fighting, he still had the self-awareness to be like the emperor.
Zheng Zhilong smiled after hearing this and continued to introduce: "Subsequently, His Majesty assigned the three vassal kings to where..."
After introducing it for a while, he suddenly remembered, turned around and looked at it, then pointed to the fleet far away and said: "In addition, there are three vassal kings who have also enfeoffed to America. Over there, they brought them with them. Young subjects, come here."
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting and others couldn't help but be overjoyed. With all the vassal kings here, the imperial court's management of America is absolutely certain, and there is no chance of it being given up!
Thinking of the past few years, no reinforcements have arrived. To be honest, sometimes, I really thought that people like myself were abandoned by the change of national policy of the imperial court.
They were sighing, but they didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to break the news: "In addition, Yan Shenggong came with his people, saying that he wanted to civilize the Indians in America..."
"What?" Sun Chuanting was shocked when he heard this, and quickly confirmed, "You said that Yan Shenggong would actually bring his tribe to America to teach the natives? Could it be... could it be that the new generation of Yan Shenggong is a young descendant?"
Only young people can be passionate and impulsive, and have the slightest possibility of coming. If it were the previous Yan Shenggong, he wouldn't be able to believe it.
"No!" Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said, "Yan Shenggong did not change people."
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting immediately shook his head and said: "This is impossible!"
Seeing that he was so sure, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but smile, took a look at the guards, then stepped forward and whispered: "General Yan estimates that Duke Yan was driven here by His Majesty. In the Ming Dynasty today, there is no hereditary Of course, Yan Shenggong is no exception. However, there are other knowledgeable people who continue to carry forward the sacred learning of Confucius and Mencius in the Ming Royal Academy!"
Zheng Zhilong was a military commander with a pirate background, and he didn't have a good impression of Yan Shenggong and the like. As for Sun Chuanting's behavior throughout his life, he was by no means a pedantic person. Therefore, after hearing Zheng Zhilong's speculation, he nodded slightly to express his understanding. Apart from that, there is no additional expression.
But you can know this kind of thing, but it's hard to tell. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong explained to Sun Chuanting in a low voice.
The guards didn't dare to crane their necks to listen, but they were really curious. For them, it was just a big expedition to the Americas. Now even Shenggong Yan wants to come to the Americas. This is really surprising.
Zheng Zhilong looked at their looks and said with a smile: "When your Majesty was destroying the Mughal Empire, he issued a new decree. This was a grace for the Ming soldiers who went on an expedition to other places. The number of people in this expedition was so large that There are many people who come here for this grace.”
Upon hearing this, all the guards couldn't help but be overjoyed. Being able to serve as a soldier and travel such a long distance is definitely a great blessing!
As a result, these people forgot all about why they should not be influenced by Shenggong. Each one showed a longing mood, wanting to know what kind of grace it is.
Even Sun Chuanting was a little curious, so he didn't interrupt and just listened from the side.
Anders has been listening by the side. Because of the language, his reaction was slow, and the news he heard was so shocking that he still hasn't come back to his senses.
Sun Chuanting and the others had no idea about the Mughal Empire, but Anders did!
They came from Portugal to Nanyang, all the way along the coast. Of course they knew about the Mughal Empire and how powerful the Mughal Empire was. Needless to say, those who landed in Bengal and wanted to colonize Bengal were driven away by the second prince of the Mughal Empire.
Such a huge empire was destroyed by the Ming Emperor with only 20,000 cavalry. How powerful do you have to be to have this ability?
I don’t know how long it took, but after finally coming back to his senses, he couldn’t help but finally exclaimed in admiration: “Why is your Ming Emperor so powerful?”
The guards were listening happily when they suddenly heard what he said and couldn't help but despise him: Did you know?
………………
On the American side, with the arrival of the second American expeditionary force led by Zheng Zhilong, a battle was decided and all the fleets assembled by Spain in the Americas were destroyed, including their governors who were captured. It can be said that from then on, Ming Dynasty was the overlord of the Americas!
The rest, of course, is to conquer the remnants of Spain across the Americas. With the addition of fresh troops and Indians to drive, it was only a matter of time before they occupied the entire America.
Regarding these matters, Emperor Chongzhen knew clearly through the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Zheng Zhilong and Sun Chuanting. In other words, he had America figured out.
What America needs to do in the future is to appoint a governor for the area directly under its jurisdiction, and then assign a few more vassal kings to go there. That's basically it. However, it is still early for these things, so let’s ignore them for now.
Emperor Chongzhen was relatively satisfied with the armored battleship's first participation in the war. After that battle, although the four armored warships were damaged, as long as they were repaired, they would be fine. It can be used until the worn parts brought are replaced.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to the shipyard in Dongwu. Compared with Tianjin Shipyard, the foundation is too poor. It will still take some time to build the first steam iron-clad battleship.
Without a strong navy, there are British and Dutch fleets guarding the Persian Gulf, making it difficult to attack.
