Needless to say, this Dutch fleet was the governor of Batavia. Antony was forced by his men and finally chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. He agreed to the Ming Dynasty's request, which was one of the sincerities he had to show before becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. He was recruited by the Ming Dynasty.
Conquer the enemy country.
The Dutch in this fleet were very motivated. After getting in touch with the Ming people in Luzon, they immediately rushed to the Ming Dynasty. Jinyiwei sent supervisors to board the ship, and then rushed to the Japanese side to participate in the battle against the Japanese.
As a result, it happened to coincide with Yagyu Munomi's attack on Naha, but the war was already over, and the Ming army defeated the Japanese navy. This made the Dutch a little regretful. If they had arrived before the war, their contribution would have been greater.
Listening to these words, Yagyu Munenomi, who was hanging on the bow of the boat, suddenly shouted hysterically: "I knew that you Westerners are all white-eyed wolves. Thanks to our country being so good to you, you actually betrayed our country. Go!"
You have become a dog for the Ming Dynasty, where is your conscience..."
He was hung on the bow of the ship, which was already eye-catching, but now a burst of shouting attracted everyone's attention.
The Dutch understood what he was saying, but no one was ashamed. They just replied: "Why do you think we came all the way to the Far East? You are still Tokugawa Iemitsu's Omatsu, how naive!"
In this way, Yagyu Munomi's identity was exposed. Hu Mingfeng couldn't help but be overjoyed. He actually caught a big fish alive. He was the right-hand man of the Japanese shogunate, which was somewhat similar to the official position of auxiliary minister in the Ming Dynasty.
Haha, this is really something worth celebrating!
Afterwards, the Dutch fleet rested for a day at Naha Port and then rushed to the Japanese country to find the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Japanese expeditionary force. Naturally, the Amami Island along the way fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty again.
It is also true that Zeng Ying is not here, otherwise, he is likely to send the Dutch fleet to the Japanese side to act as an internal response, and to further injure the Japanese country.
The Dutch fleet went all the way north, and finally met the main force of the Ming Navy in Tsushima. Then they realized that they were late again. The Battle of Busan had already ended, the Japanese navy had been destroyed by the Ming army, and the Ming Navy had achieved complete control of the sea.
When the Dutch fleet arrived, Zheng Zhilongdu, who was going south, and Zeng Ying's troops, who were preparing to go north to contact, met at Zhendao.
Subsequently, Zheng Zhilong sent a speedboat to Pi Island, and then used the signal tower to send the news back to the capital that he had destroyed the Japanese warships and completely gained control of the sea.
……………………
In early September of the 19th year of Chongzhen, the concise news of victory reached the capital.
After Emperor Chongzhen received it, he couldn't help but be very happy.
After destroying the navy of Japan and gaining control of the sea, Japan, as an island country, had its national strength divided among various islands and was no longer complete.
Although the original idea was to attract the Korean Japanese troops back and then ambush them at sea to destroy their effective strength in one fell swoop, this goal was not realized as the situation evolved.
However, in this current situation, controlling the sea is also very beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
At present, the Japanese country mainly consists of four parts: Honshu Island, Shikoku Island, Kyushu Island and Korea.
According to the latest news, at least half of the Japanese army is in North Korea, but relatively few civilians have migrated there. This means that without the local supply of food and grass materials for the Japanese army in North Korea, there will definitely be a decline in the next one or two years.
Very uncomfortable.
The three islands in the Japanese mainland were isolated from each other and could not provide support, which also gave Ming Dynasty the opportunity to defeat each one. Among them, Honshu Island still has a certain elite army because it is where the Tokugawa shogunate is located. However, Kyushu Island has
, the Japanese army did not have many troops, and it was not difficult for the Ming Dynasty to conquer Kyushu Island.
As for the four countries, ignore them for now!
At this point, the Japanese country is actually nothing to worry about. All the Ming Dynasty has to do is eat the Japanese country one bite at a time.
Jianlu and Japan formed an alliance, haha, so what!
Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he issued an order to send an audience to the King of Tang.
After receiving the order, the King of Tang probably guessed what was going on. He couldn't help but feel very excited. He hurried to the Forbidden City and met Emperor Chongzhen in the Wenhua Palace.
On the screen next to it hung the latest map of Japan. Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to the King of Tang: "Among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, I know that you are the most courageous. When the invaders invaded the capital, you were the only one who raised troops to serve the king."
…”
In fact, it's not just this. Emperor Chongzhen also knew that the Tang king in front of him had become Emperor Longwu in the original history. Therefore, when these two things were added together, he had this statement. It's just that the original historical things cannot be brought out.
To put it bluntly, we can only take the matter of the King of Tang raising troops to serve the King.
However, it is a pity that when the king of Tang raised troops to serve the king, they met a group of thieves on the way to the capital, and killed the king of Tang directly. His combat power was really poor.
At this time, when the King of Tang heard that Emperor Chongzhen was talking about this matter, he was immediately startled and wanted to defend himself.
Because of this matter, he was deprived of the title of vassal king by Emperor Chongzhen and imprisoned in Fengyang. Later, the emperor showed mercy and released him and restored his title of vassal king. No matter what, it was all for him.
A kind of warning.
However, before he could explain anything, Emperor Chongzhen had already walked to the screen, pointed at the map of the Japanese state and said to him: "Good news came from the front line. Our Ming Navy has completely wiped out the Japanese navy. There are no more Japanese naval forces."
Maybe we can support each other across the sea!”
When the emperor said this, the king of Tang was immediately attracted and looked at the map of Japan.
Emperor Chongzhen continued to say to him: "This is the Kyushu Island of the Japanese country. Most of the local troops have gone to Korea, and the number of Japanese troops remaining on the island is very small. I intend to seal this Kyushu Island to you.
I wonder if you are willing to raise your own troops and go to Kyushu Island, defeat the remaining Japanese troops, and then conquer Kyushu Island?"
King Tang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't figure out what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.
Are you still concerned about him raising troops to be a diligent king without permission before? Or are you appreciating his previous troops to be a diligent king, so you gave him a chance to train troops?
Your Majesty, what are you thinking?
The king of Tang was a little scared and didn't know how to reply, for fear of offending the emperor again.
For the King of Zhou in the front, the imperial court sent troops to defeat the vassal state, and then the King of Zhou went directly to seize the vassal state.
And when it was his turn, why did he still need to lead the troops to defeat the remaining Japanese soldiers?
The king of Tang Dynasty was sweating when he thought about this. When he was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said: "Of course, if you are really unable to defeat the remaining Japanese army and cannot pacify the feudal country by yourself, I will
I won’t just sit idly by and do nothing, and I will definitely send troops to help you.”
After hearing this, King Tang finally vaguely understood why the emperor did this.
He probably thought that if he raised troops to serve the king before, he would feel that the emperor was incapable of governing the world, so he left this Kyushu Island to himself so that he could experience the difficulty of governance.
This thing cannot be explained clearly, it can only be experienced this way.
Thinking of this, King Tang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The emperor is still a bit vindictive! You must pay attention to this aspect in the future!
As he was thinking, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to him again: "Of course I won't favor one over the other. I can tell you that there are gold mines here and here on Kyushu Island. I don't want to divide it, just
When you recruit troops and horses, and the assets that cannot be taken away from Nanyang, you have to pay the imperial court."
This is the same as the king of Zhou. The original fiefdom, including grain fields, shops and other assets, had to be handed over to the court. But correspondingly, the emperor pointed out the minerals in the fiefdom as compensation.
After hearing this, the king of Tang Dynasty was so happy that he did not dare to neglect, and quickly bowed to receive the order.
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment and then said to King Tang: "Based on the situation on Kyushu Island, you can complete the vassalage before the middle of next year. In addition, I will sell to you at a low price any materials needed by your vassal, etc. to help you."
You can become a vassal and control the vassal country faster. By the way, if you don't have enough money, you can go to the bank for a loan. I will give you a lower interest rate if I give you instructions."
When the king of Tang Dynasty heard this, he felt grateful and quickly thanked him again.
Later, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had no other instructions, he resigned from the palace.
He didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts were mainly focused on Korea and Liaodong. As for Kyushu Island, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he left it to him.
In addition, after the promotion of steam engines and improved machines in recent years, Ming Dynasty's output, such as textiles, has shown signs of surplus. Therefore, the Kyushu Island of the Tang Dynasty was the first dumping planned by Emperor Chongzhen
land.
It is foreseeable that the Tang State, namely Kyushu Island, will be very dependent on the mother country in the future.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished handling this matter, he thought for a while and planned to wait for the official news of success to be granted the title of Pi Daobo, transfer him back to the capital, and be promoted to the deputy governor of the Navy Governor's Office, responsible for the training of the navy.
Zeng Ying was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Denglai Navy, and Yang Zhan took over as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese expeditionary force. He was responsible for cutting off the interconnection of the Japanese islands, harassing the Japanese main state and the four countries, and assisting the Tang king in seizing the vassal state.
After making some calculations, Emperor Chongzhen took out his mobile phone and initiated a video communication request to Liu Weichao.
Time flies so fast, Liu Weichao's graduate student also graduated. With the help of Emperor Chongzhen, he published many very controversial papers.
When there is controversy, there is fame, and the popularity is greatly improved.
And at the end of the controversy, it was discovered that the content of Liu Weichao's paper was actually correct, which immediately established his position in Ming Dynasty research. At least within the circle of Ming Dynasty research, he is very famous.
For this reason, Liu Weichao was recommended to study directly for a Ph.D. and continued to study the history of the Ming Dynasty.
When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about these things, the video was connected.
