Southeast, coastal area.
After Ma Wensheng returned to the capital, he transferred Qi Jingtong to the command of the Ning Bo Guards.
At this moment, Qi Jingtong was training the navy in the coastal waters of the Wei Kingdom.
When Qi Jingtong saw the naval military base near the coast of Ning Bo, he was completely shocked.
More than 30 giant ships covered the sky. Whether it was the size of the ships or the equipment on the warships, they were far more spectacular than the one that Eunuch San Bao went to the West!
Each ship carried six Crouching Tiger Cannons.
No!
This was far from the crouching tiger cannon he remembered!
Qi Jingtong was completely shocked.
For naval battles, it was artillery battles. Whoever had the strongest artillery attack power and the longer range of the artillery would be able to win the naval battle.
It was obvious that these modified cannons were not only equipped with all kinds of muzzles, but they could also adjust their direction accurately…
"Report, report, report!"
Qi Jingtong suppressed his shock and asked with a frown,"What is it?"
"A group of Hong Yi people has been discovered along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi. They are currently approaching the Great Ming Sea!”
Qi Jingtong's face was filled with anger." Have the coastal defense of Guangdong and Guangxi drive them away. Send this information to the capital as soon as possible. Hurry!"”
"Yes!"
……
Northern Zhili, Forbidden City.
It took nearly half a month for the blood at the Meridian Gate to completely dissipate.
After Zhu Youtang's brutal massacre, the officials of the Ming Dynasty returned to the clean and honest state of the Hongwu period.
The officialdom of the Southeast and the Ming Dynasty was cleaned up, and Zhu Youtang focused his attention on the Japanese pirates.
"Let the three heroes of the Embroidered Uniform Guards come and see zhen.”
Zhu Youtang said.
……
South Town Fu Department.
White Tiger and the other two had fought a beautiful battle in the southeast and were feeling very happy. At this moment, they were bragging to the little ones in the Discipline Department.
"Third Master, Third Master."
A small Embroidered Uniform Guard flag rushed over.
The white tiger glanced at him." You're so flustered. If you were to be brought to the southeast, you wouldn't be able to do anything."”
"You're so flustered when you encounter something. Can't you learn more from the Emperor?”
"More than 130 officials were cut off at the Meridian Gate. Did you see the Emperor blink? This is outrageous!"
The white tiger cursed.
Xiao Qi braced himself and said,"The Emperor has summoned me."”
"F * ck!"
White Tiger's entire body suddenly collapsed as he screamed,""You didn't f * cking say it earlier!"
He hurriedly tidied his clothes and brought the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise into the palace.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Youtang was looking at the map of the northern border.
Yang Yiqing's construction of the Grassland City had gradually begun to take shape.
How many people should be transferred over, how to give preferential policies, how to deal with the people of Ming Dynasty, and how to inform the tribes of the grasslands, Zhu Youtang had to consider all these.
"Greetings, Emperor. Long live my Emperor.”
White Tiger and the other two didn't dare to breathe too loudly and knelt down.
These three Jinyiwei Commanders Qian Shi, who had once been famous in the southeast and captured hundreds of Japanese pirates, now saw Zhu Youtang and changed their former prestige. They were respectful and harmless.
Zhu Youtang nodded." The three of you have done well in the Southeast region. Your positions can't be moved up, but your salary can be raised a little."”
The three of them kowtowed excitedly.”
Zhu Youtang let the three of them stand up.
The three of them stood respectfully.
"Come to me," Zhu Youtang said lightly.”
The three of them walked to the desk.
"This is a map of the Northern Borderline. Yang Yiqing spent several months or even longer to draw it.”
The three of them were confused and suspicious, but they did not dare to speak and listened respectfully.
"Zhen will give the three of you a secret mission. Pick some smart Jinyiwei and set off from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Japanese islands.”
"According to this map, draw it for me. Other than that, focus on exploring the copper, gold, iron, and other minerals hidden under the Japanese islands.”
"In the southeast, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang, many guards still lack commanders. Do you understand what I mean?”
How could the White Tiger trio not know that the Emperor was giving them a chance to climb up?
The Embroidered Uniform Guards 'official positions were at the end, but there were still other officials in the army. Transferring from the Embroidered Uniform Guards to the Guard Office was undoubtedly the greatest opportunity for the three of them to be promoted!
"Thank you, Emperor. I understand!"
The three of them cupped their fists and kowtowed excitedly before leaving the Heaven Tribute Hall with tears of gratitude.
Who wouldn't covet power after being able to reach such a high position and enjoy the pleasure of power? Who didn't want to continue climbing?
When they had just entered the bureaucracy, they had not yet experienced the taste of power. However, after invading the officialdom for several years, they had already deeply experienced what power was!
Zhu Youtang's temptation was too fatal for the three of them. At this moment, White Tiger and the other two were so excited that their bodies were trembling. Their eyes were filled with greed for power!
Wasn't it just a trip to a Japanese island? Even if it was a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, the three of them were bound to charge in!
……
The Cabinet.
The six ministers gathered.
The Emperor left behind a sentence about the reform of the officials and became a hands-off manager. However, who knew that Zhu Youtang's words made the cabinet and the six departments not rest for several days.
These days, they gathered in the cabinet every day to set the assessment standards for the two capitals and 13 provinces.
They had to adapt to the specific state and county officials.
It was easy to set rules for the customs of the government, but the more difficult ones were the taxes and criminal cases of the various places. These had to be set according to the difficulty of the different hells.
"Lord Liu, the head of the Ministry of War is looking for you.”
A small official came in with tea and carefully said to the Minister of War, Liu Daxia.
"What is it? Let him in."
After a while, the head of the Ministry of War walked in and whispered into Liu Daxia's ear. Liu Daxia's expression changed." Everyone, I have to go to the palace."”
After saying that, Liu Daxia left the hall officials who were looking at each other in dismay.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Youtang flipped through the information from the Southeast Sea that Liu Daxia had provided.
"Has the fleet of the Franks arrived at the border of our Great Ming Sea?”
He muttered to himself and looked up at Liu Daxia.""Pass down my decree, tell Qi Jingtong to send five warships of the Great Ming's Ning Bo Guard into the Guangdong and Guangxi sea.”
"Declaring war!"
Liu Daxia took a deep breath." Your Majesty…the other party hasn't entered the Daming Sea yet. Should we observe them?"”
he reminded carefully.
"Is it important whether we entered the Great Ming Sea or not?" Zhu Youtang asked. Isn't it because you want to see the might of my Great Ming Navy? I'll let them see enough!"
Did a little Franji really think that this was the era of wild boar skin? A small country wants to spy on my Ming Dynasty?
Was he qualified?
I haven't even made a move on you, and you've already delivered yourself to my door!
