The weather is hot, and the doors and windows of Rouyi Hall are open for ventilation.
At this time, a cool breeze came in, and Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt much more comfortable; and just now he had been talking about the sea, and he vaguely felt that the cool breeze was like the sea breeze.
At a certain moment, somehow, a certain segment of his memory was evoked.
(In a long time ago, he met a middle-aged friend who had been wandering along the coast. Once, the two chatted late at night on the beach and said too many things, most of them forgot. Anyway, it was not important. But some of the words of that friend suddenly came to his mind: What a woman cares about the most is herself, followed by her children, and by men.)
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that the sentence seemed to make sense.
When Zhu Gaoxu was distracted, Chen's voice sounded a little dazed: Chen Zhengyuan is still young, and there is no one close to him, so I am worried.Annan Kingdom is very chaotic, and the civil and military officials in the country may not listen to a child. Chen Zhengyuan now needs help from his concubine.
Well... Zhu Gaoxu responded.
Chen said again: I don’t want to leave either, but I just can’t rest assured that I will definitely keep my integrity and be clear after returning to China.Just wait until the situation in Annan Kingdom is stable. If the emperor does not mind, I will go to the capital to meet the emperor again.
Zhu Gaoxu refused to comment. He suddenly felt that if Chen had not been forced, she might not have come back.
Even with the ethical and ethical constraints of men being superior to women, older and experienced women seem to be reluctant to rely on men if they have some skills; after all, they may not be reliable.
For example, Chen Xu's is the same.
However, Zhu Gaoxu was not angry. He went to find Queen Chen because of a political alliance.He also felt that Chen's idea was probably understandable.
He no longer had the obsession of living and hard to part with, but when he thought of being about to be separated soon, his emotions were still shrouded in a sense of sadness.
OK.Zhu Gaoxu said, he turned to look at Chen and smiled, and I was looking forward to the day of reunion.
But Chen suddenly bit his teeth, looking a little uncomfortable, and then sighed softly.
She made trivial movements for a while, raised her head and whispered: Can I meet the emperor again before I set off?After she said that, a faint flush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
At the beginning of Yongle, when he led his army to conquer Annan, he heard about a local custom.
It is said that the local woman should go to sleep with her boyfriend for a night on the eve of her marriage or when she wants to separate from her lover.
There are many tribes (ethnic groups) in Annan. I don’t know which tribe is custom. Many of them are different from the Ming Dynasty, such as intermarriage between the same surname.
Chen’s hint just now was that Zhu Gaoxu was her lover?Zhu Gaoxu didn't ask much, and he really felt that there was no need to force her wishes.
Chen bowed his knees and bowed to his back, and then she left the palace gate in the north.But Zhu Gaoxu saw the shadow on the ground. When she walked to the door, she seemed to stand for a while and looked back.
Zhu Gaoxu ignored these small movements. He breathed out, sat here alone, and began to ponder the several maps spread out on the table...
According to the custom of the Ming Dynasty's deployment of battles, it was generally appointing military generals from the capital, and then dispatching some elite troops in the Beijing camp and the guards mobilized near the battlefield to form an army to carry out the battle in this way.
There are nearly 80,000 military households in the East Pass area of Annan Kingdom. Then, the military households of the garrison were mobilized from Guangxi and Guangdong to gather enough troops. Now it is necessary to consider that elite troops are dispatched from the capital to move south and use well-equipped and well-trained Beijing soldiers to increase the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
All departments of the Beijing Camp have equipped a large number of artillery and firearms.
After the launch of the King of Han cannons, it has been improved several times. Now there are three types of artillery, namely, Tian, Earth, and Xuan. In addition, the regular army is also equipped with staggered cannons, Hongwu cannons, pig iron thunder and other military weapons.
The mortar cannon is an improved version of the Hongwu cannon. During the Civil War, the Han Wangjun had no ability to use bronze to cast Hongwu cannon technology because he did not obtain the cast steel cannon technology of the Shanxi government.
Later, the South Railway Station discovered that bronze cast cannons could make the Hongwu cannon larger in caliber, so the Hongwu cannon evolved into a kind of bronze cannon.
There are also a large number of Chunhan Match Guns in Jingying, which are divided into two types: light and heavy.
The heavy gun is mainly used to deal with armored targets and requires a bracket to fire; the light gun has a small diameter and is relatively lightweight, and is used to deal with ordinary rebels.
To mobilize the Beijing Camp expedition, you must carry a large amount of firearms and equipment, preferably by water.
After the naval warships sailed in large numbers, the maritime capacity is insufficient and the risks are greater than those inland rivers; therefore, Zhu Gaoxu believes that traveling inland rivers is a more feasible method.
Ships mainly composed of Chaohu Navy (the largest regular naval army in the Ming Dynasty) can transport 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp and a large number of guns, cannons and ammunition with the army.
Zhu Gaoxu lifted up his red pen and began to draw lines along the Yangtze River.
The fleet can go along the river from the capital, enter the Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River, and arrive at Guilin Prefecture, the governor of Guangxi.
Then we advanced along the Luoqing River to Liuzhou Prefecture.
After the military and civilians mobilized from the Guangdong Vilary in Guangxi and joined the Beijing Camp in Liuzhou, they carried firearms and ordnances on land; through Lang Son occupied by the Ming army, they entered the hinterland of Annan Kingdom.
Liu Sheng proposed the idea of a surprise attack on Qinghua on the sea route, and Zhu Gaoxu also wanted to try it out.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and remembered that the navy in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian had the ability to sail near the sea. In the first battle of Annan, the court mobilized the official naval forces on the southeast coast.
If the Southeast Navy sails near the sea and enters the mouth of the Jingtai River in the Beibu Gulf (near Haiphong City); you can meet with Zhang Fu and Liusheng and other troops who come by land.
As long as the Southeast Navy receives Liu Sheng's surprise attack, heads south along the coast and arrives at the Majiang River Estuary near Qinghua, the strategic intentions can be realized.
Considering the insufficient capacity of the local navy in the southeast, after Hou Xian returned from North Korea and the remaining sea ships at Longjiang Port, part of the navy could also go south to reinforce the Annanguo Campaign.
Zhu Gaoxu initially judged that the Chaohu Navy could transport about 35,000 mainland troops in Beijing and a large number of firearms.
Due to the guards of Dongguan and Guangdong and Guangxi, the Ming army's troops could reach more than 100,000 in the entire Annan Battle.
After sitting next to the big table for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu felt that the air was also hot and his clothes became moist due to sweat.He was a little tired and stood up from the chair.
There were eunuchs and palace maids on duty in the main hall, but they didn't dare to say anything.Zhu Gaoxu was still free in the hall, walking slowly.
The chaos on all sides of the Ming Dynasty and the idea of slow progress made him feel bad.
After he had a little feeling of being bored, he quickly became firm and thought to himself: You must endure the stage of gaining huge benefits.
Otherwise, everything will be wasted!
With the existing system and ideas, if nothing has changed, there will be no sufficient benefits; then no matter how many things the court does, it will be in vain and people will surely die.
The abolition of Zheng He's voyage to the West should be an inevitable result.
Because the farming empire is self-sufficient, external material imports are not necessary; under the land tax and corvee system, no matter what major project is, it is simply exploiting and exploiting the people, increasing the difficulty of governance of the court.
It is harmful but not beneficial to be happy.
Only by trying to tie the operation and interest groups of the entire country to the chariot of the torrent of history and maintain expansion and progress can the world avoid the accumulation of malpractice and depravity in the closed cycle.
This is the idea that Zhu Gaoxu recognized, but who knows what step he can go?
At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gui hurriedly walked out of the hall gate, looked inside, and walked in, bowed and said: Emperor, the Tongzheng Envoy has just received Hou Xian's memorial, and Hou Xian's fleet has arrived at Liujiagang.They will arrive at Longjiang Port in five days and enter the palace to report to the emperor.
Zhu Gaoxu reached out to take the memorial and opened it to look.
Wang Gui had a joyful expression on his face, probably because the risk of sailing was relatively high, and being able to come back smoothly was something worth celebrating... Although Hou Xian and others did not do anything valuable in this trip.
I know, and ask the Yousi to arrange someone to go to Longjiang Port to greet them.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Wang Gui bowed with his fists and said: I will receive the order.
Zhu Gaoxu waved again and said: Wait.He pondered for a moment, and then said quietly, "As soon as they arrived at the capital, you go and ask Yao Fang to come into the palace and see me at Rouyi Hall."
Wang Gui responded.
Last year, Yao Fang was kicked out of the Jinyiwei after making mistakes.
However, this time, Zhu Gaoxu's impression of him changed.
After all, he was an official in the Jinyiwei and had been a spy for many years. Before Yao Fang went to Japan, she found a way to find out a lot of information, which is also a skill.
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to talk to Yao Fang in person and ask in more detail.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked back to the table, immediately picked up the brush, and wrote a handwritten warrant for Hu Yi.
He ordered Hu Yi to ask the Hanlin Academy officials to write an imperial edict to Li Fangyuan according to the emperor's wishes; and then asked the pedestrian department to arrange a messenger to Seoul, North Korea.
The content of the imperial edict was that the shogunate of Japan was rude and ignored the Ming Dynasty's request to ban Japanese pirates. The court decided to send troops to conquer Japanese pirates on the Mada Island; ordered Li Yuanfang to prepare the food for soldiers, but he could not act rashly, and should maintain contact with the court and fight against the coalition forces.
The imperial court's diplomatic institutions included the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Pedestrians, and the Bureau of Maritime Promotion and Recruitment. However, Zhu Gaoxu was most familiar with Hu Yi, so he directly ordered Hu Yi to handle the matter with full authority.
Zhu Gaoxu's move only wanted to stabilize Li Fangyuan first, so that the battle of Annan Kingdom was almost over, and then launched a battle to attack the Tyrant Island; in order to avoid the Ming army fighting on both sides and increase the burden on the court during the same period.
At this time, a cool breeze came in, and Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt much more comfortable; and just now he had been talking about the sea, and he vaguely felt that the cool breeze was like the sea breeze.
At a certain moment, somehow, a certain segment of his memory was evoked.
