Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 346
Town Japanese city!

Looking at the three big characters written by himself in Chengmendong, Taichang couldn't help being intoxicated.

To be honest, his handwriting is not bad.

He practiced regular script, with authentic facial features, vigorous, round and thick, and magnificent.

Although he has not yet reached the level of calligraphers like Ni Yuanlu and Huang Daozhou, the characters he writes already have that kind of majestic momentum.

However, he wasn't intoxicated by his calligraphy, he just felt that the name of this town of Wocheng was really good.

This is actually the original Tsurumaru Castle, but it has been changed to Zhenwa Castle by him.

The meaning of suppressing the Japanese city is to suppress the pirates forever, so that they will never stand up again!

He was intoxicated with himself, when Zheng Zhilong saw this, he couldn't help flattering him and said: "Your Majesty, your handwriting is really good, it's almost as good as that written by everyone in calligraphy!"

Do you still know calligraphy?

Don't think that if I turn you into a civil servant, you are really a scholar.

Taichang couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Sycophant, don't you know how my handwriting is?"

Uh, is this a hit or a horse's leg?

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he could only laugh in embarrassment.

All the civil servants and military generals were full of weird expressions when they saw this.

They also didn't understand why the emperor recruited the pirate leader and brought him with him like a confidant.

This would take a long time to explain.

Taichang didn't explain either, he just looked up at the writing on the city gate, then at the newly repaired city wall, then waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

At this moment, the Japanese pirates and the original residents in the city were all driven away, and the messy houses in the city were all bulldozed.

The newly built buildings in Zhenwa City are all standard yamen-style buildings.

For example, the Toyo Governor's Mansion.

At this moment, the cement has also been developed, and the construction speed of the Governor's Mansion is still very fast. The yamen lobby, the large school yard, the study room for various duties, etc. are almost completed.

The question is, who will serve as the first governor of the East?

Taichang then led the crowd to patrol inside, while glancing at the people around him to estimate.

Zheng Zhilong?

It doesn't seem to work, this guy is the kind who will go crazy once he gets his way. You can't let him hold military and civilian power, but give him a fortune and let him be a rich man honestly.

Lu Xiangsheng or Yuan Keli?
It doesn't seem to work, these two are rare handsome talents, and they will take them to expand the territory in the future.

Qi Jin, Cao Wenzhao, or Shen Yourong?
It doesn't seem to work, these are rare generals, and they will also be taken with them to expand the territory in the future.

Or, let Tang Wang Zhu Yujian and his younger brothers take turns?
Although these guys are not very good, they are old Zhu's family anyway, so it's not bad for Dongying to follow Zhu's surname!

Thinking of this, Taichang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, when is Yuan Fang coming back?"

When Yuan Keli heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Fang may not be back until two days later, because you told him to bring more cement over this trip, and the Ministry of Industry has not built a cement factory in Nanzhili yet. , so he may have to wait a day or two longer."

At this moment, the Dongyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy took turns transferring personnel and supplies.

After all, they have just laid down a frontier base, and they are still far away from occupying the entire Japan. Therefore, the navy still has to keep one at all times.

Otherwise, if the Dongpu people suddenly counterattacked, they would be in a hurry.

As for when to send troops to occupy the entire Dongpu, there is no rush, let's get a firm foothold first, he still has a lot of work to do.

Taichang thought for a while, and then led a group of civil servants and generals to the newly built east city wall.

The city wall on the east side is not the same as before. Although the entire city wall has not been heightened, the wall has become more than twice as thick. The top of the city wall is more than three feet wide, and dozens of doors have been placed. Heavy Thor II gun.

At this time, if the other naval forces of Dongpu dare to rush to the vicinity of the port below, they will definitely be blasted to pieces!
As for the port below, it is almost built at the moment, and it is not a problem for the rows of newly built piers to dock a naval fleet.

Taichang glanced at the captives who were slowly building the city near the port, and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

These people were all captives of the Satsuma Navy Navy, so he naturally wouldn't let these authentic Japanese pirates build a military fortress like Zhenwa City.

He directly ordered people to escort these guys to build an ordinary city next to the port.

In the future, this place will definitely become the connecting hub between Daming and the Japanese colonies, and the commerce and trade will definitely be very developed.

And Zhenwa City is a military fortress dedicated to suppressing Japanese pirates, so people must not be allowed to come in and do business.

Therefore, he planned to use the captured Japanese pirates to build a city as big as Taicang New City, which was specially used for business.

These guys, the construction speed is too slow, right?
If they were allowed to build it slowly, the Dongyang New City might not be able to repair it for decades!
He couldn't help frowning and said, "General Qi, aren't these captives honest?"

Qi Jin nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, these guys are still a little dishonest. They are either working slowly there, or whispering to each other with their eyeballs rolling around. The general really wants to beat them with a whip!"

It seems a bit too barbaric to use a whip to whip people to work, and it will damage Daming's image.

Therefore, Taichang did not let the soldiers of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp use whips to beat these prisoners at the beginning.

However, now it seems that it is impossible not to smoke. These Japanese pirates just owe the smoke.

It's been a few days, and I'm not being honest!

You still think you can turn the sky upside down, right?
Thinking of this, Taichang couldn't help but coldly snorted: "These Japanese pirates, don't they deserve pumping? Give me a hard pumping. It's best to whip a few to death. See if they are honest or not. No matter how dishonest they are, just smoke them to death. Anyway, there will be more prisoners in the future!"

Uh, okay.

Your majesty, if you don't smoke, you can use it. Once you smoke, you will smoke to death!

They were discussing how to deal with the captives below, when three ships suddenly appeared on the sea south of the port.

It was two Spike warships sandwiching an Ataka ship with a fluttering colorful flag.

Could it be that the Tokugawa shogunate sent an envoy?
Sure enough, just as the three ships docked at the pier, the general of the Shenji Battalion who was in charge of guarding the pier ran up quickly, panting and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Dongying people sent envoys to find the general in charge here." Let's talk."

Talk about it?
Um, let's just talk about it?
Taichang thought for a while, and then said lightly: "Go, bring the Dongying envoy to the city wall, and let him speak below."

After a while, the Dongying envoys dressed in costumes came to the bottom of the city wall and bowed respectfully: "The Dongying Kingdom Nayan Tokugawa Yoshinobu sees His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Oops, this guy actually spoke Daming official dialect!

What's the big deal?
Tokugawa Yoshinobu, is this still a relative of the emperor?

I don't care what you do!
Taichang looked down at Tokugawa Laishuan, and said coldly: "You can even speak the Ming language, don't you know if you will kneel down when you see me?"

Tokugawa Yoshinobu said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, I am the envoy representing the general, so I cannot kneel down."

Taichang couldn't help sneering: "Don't your generals need to kneel when they see me? Is Dongying a general or some kind of emperor? Is your general coercing the emperor to order the princes, or are you using slaves to deceive the lord? "

This!
Why are you telling me this?

Tokugawa Laixuan simply said directly: "Your Majesty, our general does not want to be an enemy of Ming Dynasty, so we sent a special officer here to ask for peace and ask Ming to stop fighting. friendly."

snort!
If you say you will fight, you will fight, if you say you will not fight, you will not fight?

Taichang said coldly: "Do you still have integrity in Dongying?
In the 21st year of Wanli, you took the initiative to seek peace and tricked us, Ming Dynasty, into withdrawing our troops from North Korea.

In the 25th year of Wanli, you gathered an army to make a comeback.

In the 31st year of Wanli, your Tokugawa shogunate was established for the first time, and it also said that it would be friendly with Ming Dynasty for generations.

As a result, in the 37th year of Wanli, you sent troops to invade and occupy Ryukyu, a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and you also sent troops to invade our Daming Dongfan!

You repeat so much, how can people believe it? "

uh, this!

Tokugawa Yoshinobu said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, our general is not the kind of person who says what he says."

I believe you ghost.

However, you can still have fun, anyway, if you don't play, you don't play!

Taichang pretended to hesitate for a while, and then solemnly said: "Okay, go back and ask your general, how to calculate the invasion of Ryukyu, and how to calculate the invasion of Dongfan. After these two matters are settled, we will talk about retreating." things."

How do these two things count?
I do not know either!

Tokugawa Yoshinobu could only bow helplessly and said: "Okay, I understand, I will go back immediately and convey the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor."

Hey, go back and play slowly.

Looking at Tokugawa Yoshinobu's back, Taichang couldn't help showing a smug smile.

Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, are we really talking to the Dongying people?"

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "Talk, why don't we talk, talk while fighting, fight while talking, in short, let them give some hope, thinking that we will retreat. In this way, they will not fight desperately at the beginning Yes, we have enough time to transfer personnel and supplies. This is called boiling frogs in warm water, and when they react, the water is already boiling!"

My God, the emperor's move is so insidious!

No, it can't be said to be insidious, it should be said to be wise!

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The emperor is wise."
