April 28, the second year of Zhaowu, Daheng.
April 28, the third year of Jingwu, the Ming Dynasty.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jingwu, came to Quanzhou, and the news came out. For a moment, the anti-Evergrande trend, which was originally covered by the changes in the battle situation in the northern border, suddenly rose under this news.
Countless people with lofty ideals were joking about it, as if the arrival of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the situation of opposing the permanence would be as bright as the situation.
With the joy of showing off, Emperor Jingwu, who had been wandering on the sea for several months, and the officials of the capital, had been celebrating the joy of the arrival of the emperor's arrival and greeting ceremony, but under the news, the joy of the jubilation was completely dispersed!
In Quanzhou Prefecture, Emperor Jingwu and all officials gathered together to discuss the issue of drafting rewards and reshaping the Ming Dynasty's principles, and to incorporate the rebel army from Jiangnan into the majestic rule of the court. However, as Jiangnan officials revealed the changes in the situation in the northern border during this period, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly suppressed.
I was isolated from the world for so long at sea. According to the court officials' expectations, even if Liao Zhen Shanhaiguan was defeated, the main force of the Mongolian Later Jin still had an absolute advantage. Even if it was difficult to defeat Li Zhe, it would be fine to make Li Zhe hurt.
But... I was isolated from the world for several months and re-entered the world, and it seemed that everything had changed!
Mongolia withdrew, the Later Jin Dynasty was surrounded, and it was almost over!
If this continues, even if they reshape the guild, it will take no time for the Daheng Iron Cavalry to go south. Who can stop it at that time?
The Southern Song Dynasty still insisted on several generations of monarchs, and their Southern Ming Dynasty...
At this moment, the encouragement of the people from the outside world seemed to be in sharp contrast with the depression of the court.
"The Li thief usurped the country and established it, and the capital city and the treasury are empty. Now that most of the Jiangnan region has returned to the king's transformation, the grain transportation has been cut off, and it will be difficult to maintain the money and food of the Li thief."
"It is also unknown what the outcome of this battle will be."
After a moment of silence, Shi Bangyao finally stood up and broke the silence.
"Besides, no matter how the north is, it will be difficult to affect Jiangnan in a short period of time. The most urgent task is to reshape the court's principles, establish the legislative system, and announce it to the world to calm the people and the morale of the army!"
As soon as this was said, the ministers immediately understood that those who could stand here were naturally loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, whether it was Nanjing or Beijing, they were now under the control of Daheng, and Daheng had not harshed them, the former Ming ministers, so why should they risk their death and death and be involved in this storm?
What does Shi Bangyao mean? They are naturally clear about their own words.
Although it seems that the kingly commanders are everywhere in Jiangnan, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called kingly commanders are everywhere, but there are no heroes who are rising together.
If we do not quickly gather power and restore the majesty of the dynasty, this dynasty of the Ming Dynasty will probably only have a false reputation and become a toy in the hands of ambitious people.
The ministers advised and discussed, and this remnant Ming court showed its unique efficiency for the first time in this critical moment.
Rewards and honors, gather military power, train the Beijing army, and make decisions one by one, which is also very quickly concluded.
At this time, the young Emperor Jingwu obviously still had no say. Just like when he was in the capital, he advised, allowed, and issued an order...
Perhaps the only difference is that now, Empress Dowager Zhou, who once ruled the country from behind, is already living in the backyard and is limited by the ministers who are still scared, and it is impossible to interfere in the slightest politics.
The young Emperor Jingwu sat high on the dragon throne and put on the dragon robe again, but fate still seemed to be out of his own control.
This seems to be the Ming Dynasty reborn in the ashes, and the future seems to be still unknown...
...
"If the troubles in the sea and borders are not eradicated, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River will never be eradicated!"
Above the sea, warships were swaying, and Li Dingguo stood on the deck of the warships, looking at the scene of the crowds of warships in Quanzhou Port. Such thoughts once again emerged in his mind.
Once upon a time, he still had the impression of the situation in the Yangtze River and the sea border when he was still in Denglai. He thought that perhaps he could get it right after he arrived and pacify the sea border.
But when he arrived in Jiangnan, he realized why His Majesty attaches so much importance to Jiangnan and the situation in the seas.
Who can imagine that a maritime merchant or a pirate, a warship that is held is comparable to a navy in the court.
Who could imagine that the profits obtained by a caravan’s large-scale ocean-going business were equivalent to, or even far more than the gold and silver inputs that were taxed in the Ming Dynasty in one year!
Why is the rebellion in Jiangnan difficult to end now?
The reason is ultimately the word "money and food"!
Daheng was short of money and food, and only had a small amount of money and food, and he also had to supply the war in the northern Xinjiang. In Jiangnan, he had to attack on a small scale and defend on a large scale.
The rebels, entrenched in the seas and turbulent times, have no previous restrictions. The daily taxes of Quanzhou Port are astronomical, and there is no shortage of money and food at all!
And the pirates in this seaside are almost intricate and deeply rooted!
There are countless islands and reefs along the coast, and almost all the landmarks of maritime merchants and pirates, and even the navy strongholds!
The ruling class of the Ming Dynasty once existed. Under the involvement of various interests, the Jiangnan Navy was able to use the power of a division to intimidate coastal pirates, but now, the law is changing, and everything that once bound these coastal pirates does not exist.
The entire coastal coastal border is truly a real demon dancing!
He commanded the Jiangnan Navy. Every time he fought, it was like traveling through a big net. If he had not won some maritime merchants to help and maintained contact with some pirates, otherwise, his navy would have been unable to move forward in this coastal waters.
Of course, the most fundamental problem is that there is no money. If you have money, like when you were in Denglai, the warship was as good as dumplings. Then you use elite soldiers to control the warship. The navy is huge in scale, and no demons are used to dance around.
All kinds of thoughts flowed in Li Dingguo's mind, and in the end he could only sigh.
The navy is not strong enough, everything is false!
Just like now, King Shou and his traitors arrived in Quanzhou. Although he received the news later, if the navy was strong, even if he was outside Quanzhou Port, he could still surround and destroy it.
It's not like now, I can only watch it, and I can't even get close to it.
"When will the Denley Naval Master arrive?"
After a long silence, Li Dingguo suddenly asked.
"If you have a good journey, it will take at least half a month."
The general immediately spoke out.
"Um……"
Li Dingguo nodded, his eyes flashed, and then said, "Send orders to repair the warships as soon as possible, and prepare for war. When the Denglai Navy arrives, we will join forces with the two armies, and we will fight another battle!"
Hearing this order, the general was stunned and hesitated, "General, Your Majesty's order, the Denglai Navy came to Jiangnan to be responsible for transporting grain and grass. Now the northern border is in short supply..."
"It's not too late to get lucky after fighting a war!"
Li Dingguo shook his head:
"This battle must be fought!"
"Quanzhou Port is a commercial port, and Ningbo Port is no worse than Quanzhou Port. Why can't it become a commercial port too!"
"I asked the manager of the money house. They calculated that if Ningbo Port returns to its previous state and taxes are collected normally, it can make more than 100,000 taels of silver per month!"
"If we can go further, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver per month will not be a problem."
"If you don't fight this war, it will be difficult to have peace on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Ningbo Port will always be half dead..."
After hearing this explanation, the generals didn't say much. They naturally knew that their commander was so terrifyingly large.
It was enough for them to give the responsibilities of admonition. If the adult thought it was okay, they would naturally not say more. Anyway, the sky fell and there was a tall man holding on to him...
At this time, there were two figures standing at the Quanzhou Port Fort, but their eyes were also looking through the thousand-mile mirror, looking at the Daheng Jiangnan Navy warship floating on the sea.
"The Jiangnan Navy, is it your old subordinate of Brother Lu, right?"
Shi Bangyao was wearing a big red official robe and looked at him for a long time before slowly putting down the mirror in his hand and looking at Lu Xiangsheng in a civilian dress beside him.
"So what? So what if not?"
Lu Xiangsheng was calm and composed, but he could not hide his memories when he was staring at the navy warship.
The Jiangnan Navy, which was evolved from Denglai, was well-known to him by his hand. Every warship, every cannon, and every soldier.
Back then, it was him who led this navy to gallop across the Bohai Sea. That was the most enjoyable time in his life.
There is no worries, no burden, and no intrigue. Some people only think wholeheartedly about how to fight the enemy and how to win every war...
"I hope that Brother Lu, you can win over your old subordinates and serve the court."
Shi Bangyao's words immediately pulled Lu Xiangsheng out of his memories.
"Lu's sinner, how can you have this ability? Lord Shi, you are too arrogant to Lu!"
"Where did the sinner come from?"
Shi Bangyao retorted: "Brother Lu, you are a hero, a great hero!"
"Your Majesty has issued an order to grant Brother Lu the Duke of Chu, the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng, and fully govern the Beijing army and organize the reconstruction of the Beijing army!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's expression stagnated. After a while, he returned to calm: "Lu has recognized His Majesty's love."
"Lu really can't afford such a heavy task, so please choose another virtuous person..."
Shi Bangyao's expression was cold:
"Are you really determined to be loyal to Li Zhe? Do you have to disobey Jun's kindness?"
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said nothing.
"Roasted wood cannot be carved!"
Shi Bangyao snorted coldly and left with his sleeves!
Lu Xiangsheng stood alone, silently.
