The Navy Department proposed that it was approved by all the civil and military officials of the court, or in other words, it was acquiesced by everyone.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Youxiao gradually smiled on his face and said with a smile: "The Navy Department is the same as the six major departments, and it is the seventh department of the Ming Dynasty."

"The specific candidates will be recommended by the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Army and local governments. The cabinet will draw a book and submit it to me for the imperial examination."

Hearing this, the ministers were relieved.

The emperor's meaning actually made some concessions. After all, it is not impossible for him to personally draft the candidate for the Navy Department.

The reason I asked them to recommend it was to give them soup.

The status of the six ministers and ministers in the court is actually not much related to their official positions. How much power and how many people they really have to be respected must be related to the forces behind them.

The Navy Department will select people according to this plan. Regardless of whether the first batch selected has real abilities, at least, it can be suppressed.

All parties and factions in the court have people in the Navy Department, so they can benefit from this new seventh part, so naturally there is nothing to say.

As a result, everyone shouted again:

"Your Majesty's wiseness--!"

After talking about the affairs of the Navy Department, the next step is to be popular with everyone.

Wang Qia did not return, stood there and continued to report:

"This time the battle of Penghu, our army captured a total of twenty-two red-haired warships and 346 red-air warships, including 32 formal warriors, 174 seamen, and 140 sailors."

"The equipment purchased from the Franc machine for making paper shells was recaptured in the chicken cage. In addition, the Franc machine was seized, the 86 sides of the Red Barbarian combat sails, more than 500 muskets, nearly a thousand ship-borne guns, and the armored equipment was incurred."

"As for herring, cereals, beeswax, amber, flax, wool textiles, wine, cheese, lime and other goods, there are many types and it is difficult to estimate for the time being."

It has been three days since the seized weapons and goods have not been fully calculated. It is conceivable how rich the seized this time is.

In fact, it is true. This time the capture is not only the Queen's fleet and the Rowe fleet.

A few months before the Queen's fleet came to the southeastern waters, it fought a battle with the Invincible Fleet in the Spice Islands, and won a complete victory and seized a lot of Spanish goods and equipment.

In addition, due to the fact that Galen sailing ships can be used both military and commercially, the Dutch generally used them to carry cargo.

The large number of goods seized this time came from all over the world.

The Queen's fleet engaged in trade activities from the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Denmark to the German princes of the Holy Roman Empire, to the Duchy of the Netherlands and Ross, the Principality of Poland and Lithuania, and even the Kingdom of England.

Originally, this batch of goods would have brought a large amount of revenue to the Dutch East India Company, but now they have fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many cargoes that the Ming Dynasty had never seen before, among which a whole ship of limes was a good medicine for the West to treat scurvy.

In the Age of Discovery, when Western sailors were sailing on the sea, what they feared most was not huge waves and scurvy.

Once you get this disease, your gums will first swell, and then your joint muscles will gradually become painful for a period of time.

If the sailors are not treated promptly and properly, the sailors will die on the boat.

The emergence of lime is undoubtedly a blessing for Western sailors, and now it is a must-have item for these ocean-going fleets in various countries.

Limes can only be collected in the Americas at present, and transportation is relatively difficult, so the price is higher.

The Queen's fleet planned to transport large quantities of limes from America to various colonies in the East in the Netherlands to supplement the sailors' vitamin sources.

Therefore, combat and plunder are always one of the best ways to get rich.

Especially this kind of war that determines the hegemony of a certain sea area will not only have a large amount of seizures, but also have more subsequent war dividends.

If the estimate is good, the Dutch East India Company is now in a hurry, and once the Dutch Federal Parliament receives news, it will immediately send someone to sign a peace agreement.

If a peace agreement is not signed, Dutch ships will never be able to enter the southeastern waters.

The southeastern waters are not just the Ming Dynasty, but the southeastern waters cover a large area of ​​islands such as Luzon, southern India and Japan.

These places have always been the place where trade routes flourish.

Without these local trade, it would be a serious blow to the development of the East India Company, and the success or failure of the East India Company was more related to the colonial situation of the Netherlands throughout the East.

No one is willing to give up such a big treasury. Since he was defeated, the humiliating peace was just right. There is nothing to lose face.

Zhu Youxiao threw the imagination in his mind out of the back and rushed to the side and said:

"I will drive all the twenty-two captured red-haired warships to Penglai Water City and hand them over to the Military Equipment Department. Whether it is demolished or what, as long as I can develop new technology to modify the lucky ship, I will have a great reward."

"I have to know the reasons why the sails on the Red-haired Warship and why their carrier-based guns are so accurate. The Red Barbarians can do it, and the Ming Dynasty can do it."

It is difficult to study, but it is easy to imitate, especially when the complete Galen warships are sufficient.

Zhu Youxiao did not intend to use the Western Galen warship as the main warship. The Ming Navy must have its own warship.

But their skills must be.

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said:

"It's just a pity that the Queen was not captured and Holland was captured back to me."

Wang Qia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, after this battle, the Red and Barbarians will definitely know the power of our navy and dare not invade."

Zhu Youxiao looked at him and shook his head and said:

"What I want is not that they dare not attack. I want to fight, to Luzon, to India and Japan, and spread the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty overseas."

"The Military Equipment Department has a heavy burden. The things on the Red-haired Warship will be available to the Ming Navy in the future!"

Wang Qia nodded. At this time, Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of something and continued:

"Let Zhang Pan, Shen Yourong, Yu Zizao and Yuan Keli all give me a memorial!"

After the victory, the main generals of each army submitted a request for merit. This should be nothing to say, but Zhu Youxiao's next words surprised everyone.

"In this memorial, I don't want to see them talking about any military achievements. I want them to tell me what the Ming navy was lacking in this war and what their mistakes were."

"Where is the warship like Red Hair, how powerful is it?"

"Tell them that the more problems I choose in the book, the happier I will be, and the more rewards I will be!"

As the words came to the ground, the ministers below were a little unbelievable.

Even though he had won a battle, the emperor asked these generals who made contributions to write such a book that was almost equivalent to "confessing guilt". Isn't this a tough thing to force people?

However, Zhu Youxiao's attitude was very firm and he looked around at the steps:

"What, do you have any objections?"

The ministers were shocked and said, "I have no objection, Your Majesty is wise!"

"It's so good, let's go to the court!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, got up and walked away with his sleeves.
Chapter completed!
