Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When Zhu Yijun finished reading all the memorials, it was already late at night.
The eunuch who served Zhu Yijun had already reminded him that the time had passed. He was worried that the Emperor would be overworked. After all, the Emperor was only eleven years old. The dragon table was too high, and there were three layers of thick cushions under the little Emperor.
The rapid recovery of the Ming Dynasty's national strength was not without Zhu Yijun's diligence and the many loyal officials in the court.
After Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he balanced the dispute between the cabinet and the East Chamber. In order to consolidate the imperial power, Zhu Yijun united the Brocade Guards and the East Chamber. To outsiders, it seemed that the Brocade Guards were dispatched by the East Chamber.
In fact, the Jinyiwei supervised the East Chamber on behalf of the Emperor. In addition to the East Chamber supervising the courtiers, Zhu Yijun also established the Six Fan School, and the role of the Six Fan School was to supervise the people.
Zhu Yijun gathered the imperial power of the world into one body, and the concentration of power reached an unprecedented peak.
……
After Zhu Yijun put down the last memorial, before he could rest, the urgent military intelligence was sent to the cabinet. After Gao Gong saw the military intelligence, he immediately ordered Yin Zhengmao to return to his post overnight.
Yin Zhengmao, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, entered the palace that very night.
Guangdong was invaded by Japanese pirates again, and the border of Guangdong was in an emergency!
Zhu Yijun was furious in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Yin Zhengmao stood in front of Zhu Yijun, eager to return home. The bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi had just calmed down, and now there were pirates attacking. It was simply impossible to kill them.
Qi Jiguang had fought against the Japanese pirates for ten years without any success.
Now, Yin Zhengmao was the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he was in charge of fighting against bandits and pirates. After fighting for three years, he was still unable to completely eliminate the scourge of the pirates!
Yin Zhengmao had just returned to the capital for a month, and he had to return to his post without stopping.
Zhu Yijun paced back and forth in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He wished he could immediately order Qi Jiguang to go to the Wei Nation and exterminate all the pirates. This wave of harassment was too infuriating!
"Your Majesty, among those pirates, there are some Jiangnan private merchants. I think that we should not be merciful to merchants!”After Yin Zhengmao finished speaking, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said,""I will punish them…You just need to be responsible for blocking all the pirates outside the country, and I will solve the problem of the pirates!”
"My emperor is wise! The Wei pirates are from the Wei Nation, and if the Wei Nation continues to be in an era of war, these intrusions will never stop…"
"If I destroy the Wei Nation, I'll see where the pirates will come from!”
Zhu Yijun clenched his fists. He felt powerless to punch. If the Wei Nation was on land, Zhu Yijun would definitely order the army to destroy the Wei Nation.
However, the pirates were at sea. Without the support of a strong navy, it was impossible to defeat them!
……
"Your Majesty, I will definitely build a navy that can fight well in Guangdong and Guangxi!”
"Alright, then you can go. Zhen will wait for your triumphant return.”
Yin Zhengmao kowtowed to Zhu Yijun again and left the Forbidden City. He rode a fast horse and returned to Guangdong overnight.
Zhu Yijun was furious.
The scourge of the Japanese pirates had hollowed out the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If the Japanese pirates were not eliminated, they would continue to harass!
……
The next morning, the officials discussed the matter of the Japanese pirates. Many of the officials wrote to Zhu Yijun to cross the sea to attack the Japanese pirates. Even if they could not defeat the Japanese pirates, they had to destroy all their merchant ships and fishing boats!
Gao Gong also hoped that Zhu Yijun would issue an order to kill the Japanese pirates and order the Ming Navy to go out to sea as soon as possible to intercept and kill the Japanese ships. Whether it was a merchant ship or a fishing boat, as long as it was a Japanese ship, they would immediately destroy and sink it!
Zhu Yijun also had this plan, but in addition to issuing the order to kill the Japanese pirates, Zhu Yijun also wanted to personally go to Tanggu Port and personally inspect the Ming Navy!
The Great Ming Navy was originally a world-class navy, but in recent decades, the country had declined and was actually unable to support the construction of a large navy…
If it wasn't for the anti-corruption storm launched by the cabinet and the looting of the properties of a large group of corrupt officials, the Ming Dynasty's navy would still be unable to recover its former glory!
When the officials heard that Zhu Yijun was going to Tanggu to inspect the Ming Navy, they stopped him.
How could the emperor leave so easily?
If His Majesty left the Forbidden City, how would he handle his official business? How was the country governed? If there was a crisis, how should they deal with it?
However, no matter who stopped him, Zhu Yijun had made up his mind.
He had to personally boost the morale of the Great Ming Navy and let the entire Great Ming know how much he valued the Great Ming Navy. Only then could the Great Ming Navy become more ferocious and develop faster.
……
In the hearts of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the eleven-year-old Zhu Yijun was not only the emperor, but also the emperor of the ages. The Ming Dynasty had to rely on the emperor to regain its glory.
In this half a year, everyone had witnessed the little emperor's achievements.
He checked and balanced the cabinet and the East Chamber, preventing internal strife and friction.
Punishing the corrupt officials made the court of Ming Dynasty clear, and the people of Ming Dynasty were no longer exploited by corrupt officials.
First, Meng Gu was defeated, and then the Jurchen were destroyed. This caused Meng Gu's vitality to be greatly damaged. In a short period of time, they did not dare to disturb the border of Great Ming. As for the slaughter of the Jurchen, it expanded the territory of Great Ming to an unprecedented level. The north of Liaodong was known as Liaodong North. The Liaodong North Fortress was already being built in full swing. Once the fortress was completed, Liaodong's 200,000 troops could support the Liaodong North region in three days!
Liaodong General Li Chengliang's authority surpassed all the other commanders. The Liaodong Army he commanded was the largest army in the Ming Empire. 200,000 Liaodong soldiers and 100,000 North Korea soldiers were all in Li Chengliang's hands.
This made the courtiers wary of Li Chengliang. However, Zhu Yijun could clearly see Li Chengliang's every move from the system map. Other than building the fortress, Li Chengliang had no other intentions.
After the construction of the North Liao Stronghold, Zhu Yijun would increase the number of North Liao Governor-General and North Liao Commander…
……
Seven days later!
The road from the Forbidden City to Tanggu had been repaired, and the 50,000-man army escorted Zhu Yijun out of the Forbidden City.
Along the way, many commoners knelt and kowtowed from afar.
The various relay stations were renovated and turned into the emperor's courtyard.
Zhu Yijun was surrounded by many experts from Six Fan School…
Walking along the road, Zhu Yijun saw the wilted city of Ming Dynasty. Although many officials had repaired the houses along the road, they still had an old aura.
Give me ten years!
Ten years later, I will give you a beautiful era!
……
It was only about 300 miles from the Forbidden City to Tanggu, but it took Zhu Yijun three days to arrive.
After Qi Jiguang knew that the Emperor was going to personally inspect the Ming Navy, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for days.
On this day, Zhu Yijun finally arrived at Tanggu!
Tanggu Port was right in front of them. There were sixteen turrets around Tanggu Port, protecting the port. After Zhu Yijun boarded the main turrets, he saw the flags and sails fluttering in Tanggu Port.
Nearly a hundred warships were waiting for inspection in Tanggu Harbor…
Most of the warships were new, and in the dock of Tanggu, there were still more than 30 warships being built by craftsmen day and night…
Two million taels of silver was not wasted. Qi Jiguang used all of this silver to build ships, cannons, and train the navy. Not a single silver was wasted.
Zhu Yijun stood on top of the cannon and stared at the Great Ming Navy."The threat of the pirates is about to be eliminated!"
