Chapter 368 The Shocking Victory News Flew to Nanjing

pier.

Zhu Di took Tan Yuan and others to see off the viewing group.

Farewell.

When Lan Yu and others were about to board the ship.

Zhu Di confirmed again, "Marquis Yongchang and Marquis Xiping, are you sure you want to take a boat and go all the way back to Jinling along the coast?"

He didn't know why these two people were so anxious suddenly.

In order to return to Jinling as soon as possible.

He actually made a bold decision and asked him to send a warship.

Directly return to Jinling by sea.

This is indeed very close.

But the journey was very hard.

The bumps and uncertainties of the sea.

It was very painful for them, a group of landlubbers who had just barely adapted to the bumps and bumps of the warship.

Zhu Di didn't know clearly the urgency in Lan Yu's heart at this moment.

Lan Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we also feel the feelings in advance. The navy marches long distances."

It will take more than a month to return to Jinling from here by sea and land.

You can return to Fujian and then return to North Korea by land.

Even if we work hard, it will still take two months.

Even if the court cannot follow up quickly and learn from Zhu Laosi.

A month saved.

You can also seize the time and organize and rectify the prince's guard rate according to the detailed training outline of the Army's First Town provided by Zhu Laosi.

In fact, they also wanted to ask Zhu Laosi for a few more people.

Such as Zhang Wu.

It would be better if I could follow Hui Chao as a guide.

But I can't open my mouth.

The people around Zhu Laosi are also very nervous.

Moreover, they will organize and train a mixed association and a Marine Corps battalion this year.

They bring it up.

Zhu Laosi will definitely support it.

But they are also worried.

Zhang Wu followed them back to the court to guide and train the prince's guards, but was embarrassed by the generals led by the prince's guards.

Compared with the qualifications of the generals led by Prince Wei.

Zhang Wu is too shallow.

Still Zhu Laosi's person.

Zhu Laosi himself was targeted by the Crown Prince and was wronged. As long as it was not excessive, there was a high probability that it would be treated as if it had not happened.

But if Zhu Laosi's people are targeted, they will be wronged.

I'm afraid, Zhu Laosi will not ignore it.

After much thought and weighing the pros and cons.

They decided not to make the request.

Anyway, they also watched the first town training and got the detailed training outline.

…

Zhu Di nodded and looked at Xu Da, "Taishan, you are old. Don't follow them by sea. Go back to Jilong Island and stay for a few days. Let the navy brothers send you to Fujian and return to the court by land... …”

Lao Taishan is not young anymore.

Lan Yu and others wanted to make trouble, but although they didn't know the reason, they insisted and he didn't stop them.

But he couldn't let Lao Taishan suffer this fate.

The situation between him and Miaoyun was decided.

In the future, I'm afraid there will be fewer and fewer relatives who truly care about them.

Xu Da smiled and nodded, "Don't be brave..."

This time, he really saw how dangerous the generals were when firing with muskets and muskets.

In fact, it is more dangerous than close combat.

In close combat, as long as you are strong enough, you have a good chance of surviving.

But the future age of firearms was completely different.

When Shiro started his career, he had to stand on the front line, lead by example, and boost morale.

…

A group of people talked for a while.

Lan Yu and others boarded the ship and set off.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying, and Yu Tongyuan stood on the deck, looking at the dock. Zhu Di and others became smaller and smaller until they disappeared, and then they looked away.

Lan Yu lowered her head and stared at the undulating sea as the warship sailed by.

His hand gently tapped the guardrail of the warship.

At this moment, his heart was like the ups and downs of the sea.

In the future, it is probably inevitable that the center of the world will shift to Zhu Laosi.

Unless...unless Zhu Laosi is asked to return to the court and help the court.

How much opposition will there be?

Where is the prince?

Most likely, he will act very happy.

But what do you think in your heart?

If he raised this matter with the prince...

…

At the dock, Zhu Di looked back.

Just as he was about to turn around, Tan Yuan pointed to the sea, "Your Highness, look..."

Zhu Di looked in the direction of Tan Yuan's finger...

More than a dozen people rowed several small boats.

Zhu Di was curious and paying attention. The boat was outside the naval warship. After being inspected, it slowly approached.

Several young people supported an old man with gray hair and boarded the pier.

The old man bowed solemnly, "Old Liu Jianghe, the head of the Han village on the other side, the head of the clan, and the generals are really coming from the Central Plains to come to the country?"

Zhu Di was not surprised at all that there were Han people in Luzon.

For thousands of years.

Countless Han people, driving small boats, left the Central Plains and went to sea to find a paradise and a place to live in order to escape the war and harsh government.

The people of the Central Plains were also very brave in exploring the sea.

The backwardness of the Central Plains is just a historical accident, not an inevitability.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Old sir, my name is Zhu Di, also called Zhu Silang. The Central Plains court is now called Daming. My father is the Ming Dynasty emperor. My fiefdom is in Dongfan. I am going to Palawan Island this time to destroy the pirates here. , I wonder, what is the relationship between the pirates here and you? "

"Whether it is good or bad, it will not affect our exchanges. In the future, we will station troops in Palawan."

…

Conquer Palawan.

He never thought about giving up.

This island is not small, covering more than 10,000 square kilometers.

There is a plain with abundant fresh water resources.

It is very suitable for opening up and growing food crops.

In the future, as long as thousands of people are relocated and planted here, relying on the fortress, this place can be firmly occupied. The navy will go south and there will be a place to stop for supplies. Merchants can also take a short rest here.

It can become a hub for trade in the southern seas.

Such a good place.

How could he give up after he occupied it!

If he withdraws, I am afraid that Chen Zuyi will soon send troops to come back again.

The old man Liu Jianghe and others were stunned.

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, he knelt down and worshiped: "The foreign people, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"

...

Through contact with Liu Jianghe.

Zhu Di learned that there are more than 10,000 Han people on Mindoro Island opposite Palawan Island.

The number of Han people is far higher than that of local indigenous people.

The reason why there are so many Han people is that they are forced to migrate from surrounding islands to Mindoro Island one after another to keep warm in a group.

Moreover, this group of Han people has gradually assimilated the few indigenous tribes on the island.

Liu Jianghe came here.

I want to try to trade with them.

And I want to test whether I can seek their protection.

The King of Lagan in Luzon is very oppressive to them.

After hearing the other party's intention, Zhu Di invited him to the fortress.

Study.

Zhu Di looked at Liu Jianghe, "Old man, I agree to trade with each other..."

There are gold mines on Mindoro Island.

According to Liu Jianghe's introduction.

In the past, Chen Zuyi had been eyeing the Han people on Mindoro Island and the gold mines at the same time.

But he didn't dare to go to war with Luzon directly.

He could only use trade coercion to try to make the Han people on the island surrender and take the initiative to be loyal to him.

While paying taxes to Luzon, he also paid a tax to the Chen family.

Of course, the Han people on the island couldn't agree.

If Chen Zuyi could protect everyone.

Everyone would definitely be willing to leave Luzon.

But Chen Zuyi only wanted benefits and didn't want to be an enemy of Luzon.

Therefore, Mindoro Island has always been oppressed by Luzon's taxes and Chen Zuyi's trade.

"I can ensure that we will trade fairly!"

As for asylum.

He can't do it for the time being.

Mindoro Island is different from Palawan Island.

It is very close to Luzon.

The army of the Luzon Dynasty can land on Mindoro Island by rowing a famous boat.

The army can pour into Mindoro Island continuously.

Palawan Island is different.

The strait is wide enough.

As long as a dozen naval warships are left, the entire strait can be completely blocked.

This is also the reason why Chen Zuyi occupied Palawan Island but refused to asylum the people of Mindoro Island.

"I give the old gentleman two suggestions. First, migrate to Palawan Island. A piece of plain on the island is enough for our more than 10,000 Han people to cultivate and live..."

Zhu Di mentioned the local village community and the employment share system.

And detailed how to operate and the effect.

He also found Fujian merchants and powerful people to tell the story in person.

…

"Another option is that we send people to Mindoro Island to help you train young and strong people, and give you some weapons to assist you in negotiating with the Luzon Dynasty and protect your interests as much as possible."

…

He didn't want to occupy Mindoro Island now.

Once occupied.

He would deploy heavy troops on Mindoro Island.

In the future, when he returns to the court to help in the war, the First Army Town must be brought back.

The First Mixed Brigade must stay in Dongfan.

He has no financial resources.

Nor does he have the population to train another mixed brigade.

It would be best if the people of Mindoro Island migrated to Palawan Island.

From these 10,000 people.

He could recruit 1,000 people.

Train a reinforced battalion.

…

Liu Jianghe did not make a decision on the spot.

But he was very grateful to Zhu Di.

After all, fair trade was something they dared not even think about.

Send away Liu Jianghe who was going back to discuss with several other big families.

Zhu Di issued an order to Mao Laoliu: "From today on, in the island countries around the world, investigate and count the number of Han people..."

People like Chen Zuyi and Liang Daoming have too small a vision.

They are unwilling to pay, but want to get rewards first.

As a result, they have been unable to integrate the Han people scattered around the world.

If this part of the Han people can have 400,000 or 500,000, it will be very beneficial to him.

Relocate people from the Ming Dynasty.

He dare not make too much noise.

Worried that the opposition and criticism in the court will be too loud.

Can only wait until the sea ban is completely lifted.

Find businessmen and powerful people to cooperate.

Small batches, help him recruit people from the Central Plains who are willing to go to sea for development.

In the early stage, the Han people scattered around the world are very important to him.

As long as these Han people are settled in important nodes on the sea like Palawan Island.

Develop local villages and employment shareholding system.

Let these ideas spread through the Han people around the world first, and attract people from other ethnic groups on the sea.

At the same time, if there are really hundreds of thousands of Han people.

He can arm another elite army town!

In the future, he will have the initial troops to expand the four seas.

"Master, I know, I will arrange this matter immediately!"

...

At the same time.

Thirty miles away from Palawan Island.

Two naval forces confronted each other from a distance.

A warship quickly approached the Chen family fleet.

Soon.

Chen Shou saw Chen Zhong's handwritten letter introducing Zhu Di's navy.

"Major General, the Fourth Prince of the Ming Dynasty has a very powerful army. One battalion can have up to 700 people. They are equipped with a kind of fire blunderbuss with a sharp blade and a long barrel, which can shoot within 60 steps..."

"Their group of five is more capable of using random combinations of troops and is very skilled in tactics. In close combat, we had the numerical advantage but still lost. My father also died in the battle..."

…

Chen Shou watched and listened.

His expression was very solemn.

After reading, he looked at Chen Jinbei and patted his shoulder, "Jin Bei, our family will definitely avenge Uncle Chen..."

Chen Zhong's death was worth it!

The information brought back by Chen Jinbei.

Shocking!

One year.

Instead of narrowing, the gap between them and the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty widened!

To put it bluntly, they couldn't understand the new things that the Fourth Prince Ming had come up with.

it's good now.

Chen Zhongyong died in battle and got very useful information for the Chen family!

Chen Zhong is not an incompetent person.

The failure of Palawan.

It's not that Chen Zhong is incompetent.

It’s the Chen family’s skills that are inferior to others!

Chen Jinbei remained silent.

Father has already said that dying in battle is not a personal enmity!

My father chose to die in battle to repay the kindness of the Chen family.

As for whether the Chen family can seize the opportunity brought by his father's death in battle, he is not sure.

Mainly because the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty is so awesome!

In the words of my father.

The most outstanding son of the Ming Emperor.

Such a powerful dragon should have stayed in the Ming Dynasty to inherit the throne.

Now he is 'exiled' to the sea.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was really confused!

If the country is passed on to the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Relying on Daming resources.

Look at the world.

Who can defeat Ming Dynasty?

…

After a while.

Huh!

On the deck of Liang Daoming's flagship.

Liang Daoming watched the Chen family's fleet begin to return, but did not even go to Palawan Island.

I couldn't help but be surprised.

Turning his head, he looked at Lu Zhen in disbelief and stammered: "Senior Lu, it can't be the case. Chen Zhong has been defeated and Palawan Island has been occupied by the prince, right?"

Otherwise, Chen Shoudu arrived thirty miles away in Palawan Island.

Why not rest, resupply, and return in despair?

"How can this be!"

"Is the navy and army of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty so powerful?"

…

Before Lu Zhen could speak, the leaders of various families under Liang Daoming's command could not help but startled and commented.

immediately.

Liang Daoming ordered to go to Palawan Island.

When meeting Zhu Di on the island.

Everyone was silent.

Liang Daoming looked at these people's silence and sneered with relief.

After these people experienced this.

I would never dare to provoke King Yan behind his back.

His hanging heart finally settled.

…

Half a month later.

Jilong Island.

Lan Yu and others returned to Jilong Island. After a short rest, they were ready to set off again.

During this period, Ji Gang couldn't wait and asked Xu Miaoyun to send a ship to take him back to Fujian. Jinyiwei's highest-level communication system was activated.

The news of Zhu Di's victory at sea was sent to Jinling as quickly as possible.

Before departure.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying came to say goodbye to Zhu Xiongying.

"Xiongying, when you are with your fourth uncle, you must study hard and study hard."

Lan Yu squatted in front of Zhu Xiongying and warned.

Now he can only hope for the heroes.

Zhu Xiongying nodded and pointed to a few bags next to him, "Uncle, there are some fruits in here, including coconuts..."

After Zhu Xiongying finished introducing everything, he said: "These were picked by Xiongying and Brother Dongxu during this period. You can help Xiongying take them back to his grandfather, grandmother, father, mother..."

"Okay, my uncle will help you take it back."

Lan Yu agreed with a smile.

These are some wild fruits on the island.

In fact, the princess has prepared a lot for them.

Your Majesty and the others must have never eaten these things.

Today’s total is 12,000 words.

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

Next is the climax of Zhu Di's return to Jinling.
