Chapter 987 Situation
After reading the various information about North Korea and Japan sent by Lee Hyun, Zhou Xian relaxed his eyebrows. Although the situation was still not optimistic, Lin Qingye basically gained a foothold in the south of North Korea. As long as Japan only wants to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, Shimazu Kokusa's soldiers with only 10,000 soldiers under Shimazu Kokusa could not cause any big waves.
The only thing that worries Zhou Xian was that the Qing Dynasty and the Dutch were connected. This may be a trouble in the future, but there is no need to worry too much now. I don’t know whether Qi Guoyong has arrived in Sulu safely. This is a key link in Zhou Xian’s future plan. If it can be successful, the Dutch may be completely expelled from Asia in the future.
Zhou Xian turned to Han Chang and said, "Write a letter to Wang Wuwei and let him come back! Shimazu Kokusa is not worth the effort to talk to him anymore."
Han Chang looked up and asked, "Master General, do we want to go to war with the Satsuma clan?"
Zhou Xian shook his head and smiled, "Shimazu Kokuha is so arrogant. It should teach him a lesson, but now is not the time to completely tear him apart. Hasn't Han Kuo surrendered many pirates? Let them continue to do their own business, take a boat to Nagasaki, attack everywhere, and completely paralyze the trade on Nagasaki's sea. Tell them that any Japanese and Dutch merchant ships can rob them at will, and the goods they get belong to. But don't move other ships, otherwise military law will be carried out. At the same time, let Han Kuo and Lin Qingye send some ships to Ryukyu to strengthen their local forces to prevent Shimazu Kokuha from jumping over the wall and doing anything wrong."
Han Chang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand."
Zhou Xian drew a document from a small hill, "Last time Liu Konghe killed Liu Zeqing, he got more than a dozen cargoes of goods he plundered from various places. Because before we completely recovered Yanzhou, he found a hidden place to bury those things. Later, he dug it out. In addition to rewarding meritorious soldiers and pensions for the injured, several cars of goods remained, most of which were cultural and jade artifacts. Xiao Leng, you go to Jining and transport these things back to Jinan. Contact the gold and stone merchants in Jinan in advance and exchange these goods for gold and silver as soon as possible. You are fully responsible for this matter."
Xiao Leng bowed and said, "The subordinate will rush to Jining later."
Zhou Xian nodded and turned to Chen Mingxia and said, "Hundred Shi, you will go to Dengzhou for me. The first batch of naval trainees who helped the Portuguese train have graduated. You can congratulate and condolence them. Half of these trainees are distributed to Han Kuo, and the other half asks them to go to Pi Island. All the five completed new warships will be handed over to Han Kuo to strengthen their training and form combat power as soon as possible. These are the names of the five new ships. I have made a bronze medal. You will take them together and nail them to the bow of the ship."
Chen Mingxia took the paper and saw that the neat little calligraphy was written with "Zheng He name", "Qi Jiguang name", "Yu Dayou name", "Deng Zilong name", and "Wang Yuan name" in neat small regular script.
Zheng He made seven trips to the West to promote the power of the Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were the Ming generals who fought against the Japanese, and both land and water battles were the strongest at that time. Deng Zilong was the main leader of the Ming Navy in the Wanli War and the highest general who died in the war of aiding Korea. During his tenure as Guangzhou Censor, Wang Yu presided over the naval battle against the Portuguese and eventually won. This avoided the loss of Macau as a Portuguese colony, but only allowed them to stay in Macau.
After seeing it, Chen Mingxia frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment: "Master General, this other thing is fine, but can Lord Wang change it to someone else? After all, we still have cooperation with the Portuguese now."
Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "Just use this name. I just want to use the name Wang Yu to tell the Portuguese that Macau belongs to the Ming Dynasty. I just let them stay for the time being and don't expect to turn it into a colony. In the Ming Dynasty, an inch of land must fight for, which is the bottom line. And do you think the Portuguese really care about Macau? They just care about trade with the Ming Dynasty. As long as they still maintain cooperation with them, they will not have much reaction. One day, Macau will take it back."
When Chen Mingxia heard Zhou Xian say this, she didn't say anything more.
Zhou Xian suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is Cui Mingji doing recently?"
Han Chang said: "According to your instructions, he was placed in Qilu Academy. There, he taught the study of the mind. His subordinates once went to listen to his class, and his views were unique and thought-provoking."
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "He is the left-wing North Korea political party, and he respects Wang Yangming alone, and is eager to establish the same achievements as him. Unfortunately, North Korea is not the Ming Dynasty, and Li Yu is not the Ming Dynasty, so he is angry at both sides of the North Korea-to-Ming faction and the Qing faction surrender. Please discuss the rest! Xiaoyin, please accompany me to Qilu Academy. We will meet this, perhaps the person who can see the situation in Qing Dynasty best."
Not long ago, a contest was held at Qilu Academy. The leaders of the Portuguese missionary Wells and the famous doctor of Jinan Huaqing Feng. The two picked fifteen out of thirty patients, and spent a month to treat them. Finally, the number of patients cured and the effect of improving the results were determined.
After hearing this, Zhou Xian was curious and asked, "Xie Shaobao, who won in the end?"
Xie Sheng smiled and said, "If we talk about the result alone, Huaqing Feng won, he cured more patients. And even if there were no cured, his health improved significantly. But Wells was particularly good at treating various trauma. Several serious injuries were on their body, and it would take several months to recover according to the Chinese medicine method. But under Wells' treatment, he could get out of bed directly in half a month. Even Huaqing Feng admired such skills. He developed those powders, which obviously took effect faster than herbs. Through this competition, Huaqing Feng maintained the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine. But many people also changed their attitude towards Western medicine and no longer treated them with barbarians as evil techniques. It can be said that both sides won."
Zhou Xian nodded gently. Such a combination was something he liked. In terms of medical theory, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, as long as it can cure people, it has its meaning and value. China has always been able to remain strong. The most important thing is that it has infinite tolerance. If it can save lives, Zhou Xian doesn't care which kind of medicine is adopted. "But I heard that there are not many people who are truly willing to study medicine."
