"The old minister should take care of his majesty." Kong Zhenyun didn't know it was a trick. It was naturally an honor to be able to interpret words for the emperor. He, a descendant of Confucius, is the most qualified to enjoy this honor.
He took the note from the eunuch, and there were only a few lines of text in his eyes: Today, my uncle came to my house to play. Mom said that I can eat snacks after finishing my homework. Then my uncle praised my work well, so the uncle picked up my mother and told uncle to be careful. After one point, my uncle kissed my mother and kissed me again.
"This is an article written by a child. After his father returned home, he beat his wife to death according to the description in this article." Zhu Youjian reminded Kong Zhenyun that this article has a background.
"My Majesty, this man is doing the right thing. Even if you kill such a profligate woman, your child will not lie. You will hug and hug in front of the child. He doesn't know what he has done secretly. It is really shameless. Woman." After scolding, Kong Zhenyun was still aggrieved. He read out the content of the note aloud:
Today, my uncle came to my house to play with my mother and said that I could eat snacks after finishing my homework. Then my uncle praised me for doing my homework well, so my uncle picked up my mother, and my mother told my uncle to be careful. Up me.
Everyone didn't quite understand, so Kong Zhenyun handed the note in his hand to everyone to watch one by one.
When the note passed to Li Changgeng's hands, he bent down with a smile, and in front of Zhu Youjian, he didn't look like an important minister at all. Everyone looked crazy at him.
Li Changgeng laughed so speechlessly that he had to pass the note out.
The ministers almost watched it again, but still didn't find anything funny. They looked at Li Changgeng puzzledly, "Master Li, what's so funny on earth? Let's talk about it."
Kong Zhenyun felt that Li Changgeng was laughing at himself, slightly raised his goat's whiskers, and his eyes were full of contempt.
Li Changgeng didn’t care that Kong Zhen’s eyes were like murderous daggers. He finally resisted a smile: "Master Kong, this kid’s homework is like this: Uncle came to my house to play today, and my mother said that after finishing the homework, I had a snack, and my uncle praised me for doing my homework well, so my uncle picked me up, and my mother told my uncle to be careful. After that, my uncle kissed me again, and my mother kissed me too."
Kong Zhenyun refused to accept it. He grabbed the note and looked from left to right, his old face turned red gradually, "But it's okay to break a sentence like this."
The note was passed through the hands of the ministers again. This time, the people who saw the note were spraying frantically. Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also secretly smirked.
When the ministers gradually calmed down, Zhu Youzhen sternly said: "This is all caused by hyphenation, a good family, because of an article by the child... hey..."
Kong Zhenyun blushed his old face: "Your Majesty..."
"Master Kong, who can guess the child's mind?" Zhu Youzhen shook his hand. "When I read the classics, I also felt that some of the content was good, but it was difficult to break sentences. I often had to figure out the intentions of the ancients. A lot of time was wasted in order to break sentences. So, Xia Aiqing immediately organized the staff to compile new textbooks for students to use based on the points just now. After compiling, I will personally read them."
"Yes, your majesty, the minister will hurry up and compile new teaching materials." Xia Hu has no comments. This is what he had discussed with Zhu Youjian.
When Zhu Youjian saw that Kong Zhenyun was still flushed, he was not only secretly proud, "Kong Aiqing, to prepare for school affairs in the Black Dragon and Beihai provinces, arrange classrooms, select teachers, etc., once the textbooks are finalized, they will be distributed to the two provinces immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Kong Zhenyun made a big face in front of so many ministers in the court. Although he tried his best to defend, it must be a big joke after it was spread. Fortunately, he is still a descendant of Confucius! At the moment Kong Zhenyun no longer has the heart to refute. He vaguely feels that this is the set that Zhu Youjian gave him, but Zhu Youjian is the emperor, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and there is no basis, so he dare not talk nonsense.
…
Zheng Zhilong returned from the Daming Military Academy and immediately asked Zhu Youjian to see him.
Zhu Youjian still summoned him in Qianqing Palace, and Li Chunye, Qin Yongnian, and Cao Wenzhao were also notified to attend the summons.
"General Zheng, what do you feel after studying for half a month?" Zhu Youjian hopes that Zheng Zhilong will complete the transition from pirate to soldier as soon as possible. Time is pressing. Xiyi has completely controlled Nanyang. The more you go, the stronger Xiyi's strength will be. Sitting big, it is more difficult for Ming to find a place to stand in the South Sea, and the more difficult it is to expel Xiyi.
"My Majesty, the last thing I will remember most is these two sentences: Daming's interests are above all else, and the mission of a soldier is obedience."
Zheng Zhilong did not say it. In the half month of the military academy, he gradually realized the difference between soldiers and pirates. The backing of soldiers is the country. If the ammunition is gone, the country will re-issue. The soldier died in battle. The country will replenish. If the defeat is lost, the country will add warships and make a comeback. With the strong backing of the country, Zheng Zhilong no longer has to worry about losing his life after defeat.
However, the army is the army of the country. Soldiers must abide by the laws of Da Ming. Regardless of training or fighting, they cannot rely on their own temperament. They must consider the interests of the country and the permission of the law, and even consider the wishes of the emperor. For example, Supporting soldiers and self-respect is something that the emperor is extremely jealous of. "At the end, the South China Sea Fleet must be well trained to be a great man and a claw of your majesty."
"Well, yes, it seems that General Zheng hasn't learned anything in the past half a month at the Military Academy." Zhu Youjian became more and more satisfied with Zheng Zhilong. In fact, the investigators continued to pass on Zheng Zhilong's messages to Zhu Youjian. However, General Zheng Guang knows that this is not enough. Every soldier in the South China Sea Fleet must know."
"Yes, your Majesty, after returning, in addition to training soldiers' military skills, they must also strengthen their ideological study and teach them how to be Ming soldiers." As a soldier, Zheng Zhilong naturally hopes to defend the territory and establish a name for Ming Dynasty. He Only by gaining Zhu Youjian's trust, will there be a chance to make contributions.
"The military academy does not have naval professional talents for the time being. In the future, when talents are found on the battlefield, they must be recommended to me. The talents are not necessarily excellent commanders, but they must have their own ideas and advanced naval warfare ideas."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will pay attention to it in the end."
Zhu Youjian also secretly lamented that since Ming Dynasty imposed a sea ban, the original large-scale and invincible Zheng He navy has completely disappeared. Now there are no naval instructors at all. There is no way, only to go up by himself, "General Zheng, I In Xiyi's books, I saw a method of naval warfare called battle line warfare, which is to line up large battleships in a column, and use their sideboards to aim at the opposing ship's shells, or to concentrate artillery to attack them. One point, it’s best to be the other party’s flagship. I don’t know if this method is useful for General Zheng?"
"Battleline tactics?" Zheng Zhilong used to be the leader of pirates. Although there are many ships, he has never fought on a large scale. Naturally, he does not know what battleline tactics are. In fact, the person who proposed this tactic is still Not born yet! "Your Majesty, although the Admiral has never seen this kind of tactics, it sounds like it is particularly suitable for large-scale naval battles."
"Yes, General Zheng is really a sea dragon, so you can see through it at one point," Zhu Youzhen praised. "I just made a suggestion. The method of tactics to be adopted is naturally based on the scale of the battle and the situation of the opponents on the battlefield. In a specific tactic."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Zhilong secretly wondered. He fought the Dutch many times. He had never heard of this kind of warfare. How did Zhu Youjian, who lives in the deep palace, know about it? Is it really recorded in Xiyi books? Why has Xiyi never used it in the Nanyang navy
"General Zheng, how is the plan of the South China Sea Fleet done?" Zhu Youjian thought that if Zheng Zhilong was a general in the sea, he had to look at his combat thinking first.
"My Majesty, the general has already made a brief plan." Zheng Zhilong took out a stack of white paper full of words from his arms.
"General Zheng will give a verbal report first, and then send the plan back to the National Defense Institute. I will also look at it." A plan should be very long. When Zhu Youjian finishes reading it, I am afraid that I will have eaten early and report verbally. To be more concise, key members of the National Defense Agency may also put forward some reference opinions.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Zhilong withdrew the plan. "If your Majesty and the National Defense Agency agree, we will finally plan to launch troops in the fall. The fleet will set sail from Xiamen, Fujian, and take advantage of the northwest wind to log in to Taiwan's officers."
"Why did you choose autumn instead of spring when the weather is relatively suitable?" Li Chunye had never participated in a naval battle, and did not know what effect the wind direction would have on ships.
"The northwest wind will only blow in autumn and winter. At the end, we will choose to start the army in autumn. Because autumn is followed by winter, there will be northwest wind. If the battle goes smoothly, you can continue to advance south."
"Oh." Li Chunye arched his hands, apologized for his ignorance, and motioned to Zheng Zhilong to continue.
"Relying on the cover of the fleet, the transport ships transported the soldiers of the Marine Corps to log in," Zheng Zhilong saw Zhu Youjian and others listening quietly, not knowing whether they were blind navy or navy generals. "The range of naval guns is only Three thousand steps are not enough to destroy the city on the shore, but they can strike Dutch soldiers on the beach and cover the landing of soldiers from the Marine Corps. Once the soldiers log in, they will immediately establish a defensive formation on the beach and cover the subsequent soldiers from going ashore."
"After a large number of soldiers came ashore, they carried artillery to attack the city. There were not many Dutch soldiers in Geranj. It was only a matter of time before the city broke. Then the soldiers of the Marine Corps pulled out the Dutch and Spanish soldiers from south to north along the west coast. Stronghold until the occupation of the entire Taiwan Island."
"Taiwan has no more than 100,000 natives, while the number of Hans is about 30,000. Therefore, some Hans should be moved from the mainland to Taiwan. At the same time, the court should send officials to Taiwan in order to fully exercise its rule.
Zheng Zhilong suddenly realized that he had gone off the topic. The establishment of a local government in Taiwan was a matter of civilian officials. He was just a coastal defense guerrilla, and he still managed the war. "Once the court establishes a stable rule in Taiwan, the South China Sea Fleet can be in Taiwan. Establish a home port and use it as a springboard to enter Malacca."
