Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 275

The traitor has been found out, but Taichang is not in a hurry to destroy the other pirates.

Because Zheng Zhilong is the most dangerous of all the pirates, this guy has historically become the overlord of the entire Daming sea area and the Nanyang sea area, and even the Ming court has nothing to do with him.

Naturally, Taichang will not let it develop to the point of getting out of hand.

Therefore, at this time when it is best to clean up, he must clean up Zheng Zhilong obediently.

As for how to tidy up Zheng Zhilong, it is natural to recruit all his men and warships into the Daming Navy, so that he loses his personal weapons!

In history, the Qing court also used this trick, taking away his military power and replacing it with his general Shi Lang.

If the military power is in hand, Zheng Zhilong is indeed a dragon, a giant dragon that crosses the Daming sea area and the Nanyang sea area.

Once the military power is gone, Zheng Zhilong will be a reptile at his disposal!

Zheng Zhilong didn't know that his fleet was under the control of Shenji Battalion at this moment, so he actually went to help Yu Zigao identify some of Xu Xinsu's pirate leaders.

After finishing the work, he followed Yuan Keli and Yu Zigao back to the lobby.

At this time, Xu Xinsu had already been detained, and all the generals of the Fujian Navy were frightened into silence.

Seeing that the three of them had returned to their orders, Taichang didn't say anything more, he just waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go, General Yu, you go and find a place for General Zheng to stay."

After finishing speaking, he got up directly, and took Yuan Keli, Zhang Yuanfang and other naval officers to the pier.

Zheng Zhilong is in a daze, why did the emperor leave him here?

He thought he could go back after tidying up Xu Xinsu, but the emperor directly arranged for him to live here!
How can this be good?
Of course Taichang would not let Zheng Zhilong go back to join his fleet.

After he took Yuan Keli and others back to the flagship, he said in a deep voice: "Li Qing, the Navy must conduct a major reorganization. The troops under Zheng Zhilong and the generals under Yu Zigao must be dispersed and mixed. Let them form gangs and support themselves."

Yuan Keli nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work if we all mix together. Even if we break them up, they can still communicate in private."

This is true, it doesn't really work much if you break them up and mix them together, you have to separate them.

So how to separate them?
Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "There are too many naval warships at the moment, and it would be very troublesome to command all of them together. How about this, let's just divide the Daming Navy into three naval fleets , these three navy fleets are called Beiyang Navy, Nanyang Navy and Dongyang Navy, with Shen Yourong, Zhang Yuanfang and Yu Zigao serving as commanders respectively. We can disperse the generals under Yu Zigao to Shen Yourong and Zhang Yuanfang As for the subordinates, you can also break up Zheng Zhilong's men and horses and reorganize them into three subordinates."

In this way, the effect of mixing is achieved, but it seems to have a considerable impact on combat power.

Yuan Keli thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do we want to disperse all the existing chariots and warships into three naval fleets?
Weichen dares to say that this will not only fail to improve the combat effectiveness of the navy, but will also reduce the existing combat effectiveness!

We can also use the maneuverability of the ship by combining the wheel and the wolf-toothed warship, and it can be quickly attacked or quickly supported.

Once the wheels and fang warships are all distributed to the three naval fleets, the maneuverability of these ships will be crippled, and the sailboats will not be able to attack, and these ships will not be able to attack either! "

Hearing this, Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Well, it won't be a problem to replace all naval warships with steamers in the future, but it's true that we can't disperse all the chariots and wolf-toothed warships now. How about it? Zhang Yuanfang is assigned one hundred Spike warships and one hundred chariots to fight with us, and the rest of the warships will be divided into two halves according to their types, led by Shen Yourong and Yu Zigao respectively. The chariots will also be given Each of them assigned fifty ships to use for communication and spying."

When Yuan Keli heard this, he couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "The emperor is wise."

Taichang waved his hand slightly and said: "Okay, you can go and think about the issue of personnel mix."

Zheng Zhilong didn't know that Taichang was going to dismantle all his warships and troops.

He really wanted to contact his second brother Zheng Zhihu and third brother Zheng Zhibao to see how his fleet was doing now, but he was here alone at the moment, not even a single man, and not a single ship, he How to contact Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao?
He was thinking of a solution like an ant on a hot pot, but unexpectedly, the next afternoon, the emperor ordered someone to recruit him to the flagship docked at the pier.

What is this for? Are you going to take him back to Quanzhou Mansion?

He followed the eunuch who delivered the decree and ran up to the top deck of the three-story gun tower to have a look, and his heart skipped a beat.

At this time, the deck was crowded with naval generals, including his second brother Zheng Zhihu and third brother Zheng Zhibao and other leaders!
How is this going?

He subconsciously looked around the port, and his face immediately changed.

Because all the warships under him were pulled over!

Most of his men were Guangzhou Shipyards, which were completely different from the Fuzhou Ships of the Fujian Navy, so he could tell at a glance.

What exactly is going on?

The emperor was sitting in front, and he didn't dare to ask, he could only stand in the middle of a group of naval officers full of anxiety, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Zheng Zhilong has come, and everyone is almost there.

Taichang glanced around slightly, and then solemnly said: "Nowadays, there are a large number of navy warships, with various types and different configurations, which is extremely unfavorable for combat cooperation, and it is quite troublesome to command. Reorganize and divide into three naval fleets."

Zheng Zhilong's face changed drastically when he heard this.

It's over, the emperor wants to swallow all his troops and warships!
What's the matter with the second and third brothers? I don't know if the fleet is going back to Bengang, why are they here?

He really couldn't understand why his second and third younger brothers were so stupid to lead the fleet directly to Nan'ao, where the imperial court and navy gathered. Isn't this a gift to the emperor!

Taichang didn't care what Zheng Zhilong thought, he immediately said loudly: "These three navy fleets are called Beiyang Navy, Nanyang Navy and Dongyang Navy, and they are respectively led by the commander-in-chief Shen Yourong, Zhang Yuanfang and Yu Zigao. .Okay, three commanders, come out and order your generals, and all the sailors will go ashore except those who are in charge of maneuvering the boat, and line up in front of the commander's mansion, ready to be reorganized."

Shen Yourong, Zhang Yuanfang and Yu Zigao heard the words, immediately took out the list and named the generals.

Soon, all the generals and schools were divided into three columns, and the three brothers Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao and their leaders were all scattered!

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of flag waving, and the densely packed warships inside and outside the port approached the pier like flowing water, and teams of sailors and soldiers filed down and went directly to the square in front of the General Military Mansion.

Shen Yourong, Zhang Yuanfang and Yu Zigao waved their hands and led their generals off the boat, and rushed to reorganize their soldiers.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong realized that all his men and horses had been watched, and the well-equipped soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the Nan'an City Wall had already dispersed onto his boat and "destroyed" all of his men and horses to the square.

It's really over now, once all his subordinates are mixed into three naval fleets, he won't be able to control these people!
As for the warships under his command, there is no need to think about it, as they will definitely not return to his hands.
