Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 461
Zheng Chenggong's words made Zhu Youjian nod his head frequently:

"Well, that's right. I'm very relieved. Let's talk about the current situation of the Ming Navy. As the commander of the navy, Aiqing must know better than me."

Zheng Chenggong handed over his hands again and reported:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there used to be thousands of sailing warships in the Ming Dynasty, but they were all small warships, not suitable for oceangoing, and now they have become coastal patrol ships of the Ming Dynasty.

There are more than 300 large sailing warships, and more than 800 ships were launched later. At present, the number of large sailing warships has reached more than 1100, including more than 40 supply ships and more than a dozen hospital ships.

At present, the main battleships are iron-clad battleships. In the early stage, there were already [-] ships. This time, the minister came back to receive another [-] ships. The guns of the [-] iron-clad battleships received recently have been improved.

A total of 1100 armored warships plus 1000 sailing warships, this is the entire naval power of Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the more than [-] warships of Ming Dynasty are absolutely invincible, and no country has the ability to fight alone. "

In fact, Zhu Youjian was quite clear about the naval power in the world at that time. The Dutch navy is still the strongest in the world in terms of quality and quantity, except for Ming Dynasty.

Only after the war with Britain did their naval power gradually weaken, but at that time it was still a giant, followed by the Spanish and Portuguese fleets, and the rising star France was not yet available.

All the ministers stared wide-eyed, quietly listening to the report of Zheng Chenggong, the captain of the navy, and they all cheered when they heard that the Ming navy was the absolute leader in the world.

Think back to the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of national power or military power, it was the world leader. Not only was it unable to defeat the Eastern captives, but it was also helpless against the rogue bandits.

Later, with the help of God, the Holy One successively exterminated the bandits and captives, and also expelled the Portuguese who had been entrenched in Macau and the Dutch Red-haired Fans who had occupied Taiwan for many years, making the surrounding small countries tremble.

Daming now not only has outstanding generals and excellent firearms, but even civil servants have great confidence. After hearing Zheng Chenggong's introduction, they began to strongly demand that Ming declare war on the Netherlands.

"Your Majesty, we ask Ming to declare war on the Netherlands, so that other countries in the world will no longer dare to bully our Ming people. The people of our Ming Dynasty are all masters. We want people from other countries to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters..."

Seeing that all these great Confucians have become militants, Zhu Youjian and the generals were secretly amazed. He stood up slowly with his hand on the Longshu table and said:
"It is impossible to mobilize all the main force of the Ming Dynasty, and some must be left to guard the country. I decided to transfer 5000 members of the Qi Family Army, 5000 members of the New Army, and 1 elite soldiers from the Pingkou Army of Shaanxi Province, plus [-] members of the Dragon Banner Army. In command, Yan Yingyuan, Li Dingguo, and Huang Degong served as deputy generals.

In addition, Zheng Chenggong personally led [-] ironclad warships and [-] sailing warships, and accompanied me on the expedition. I want to see with my own eyes how rampant Hongmao's Asian headquarters and their natives are.

The purpose of Ming to send troops to Batavia this time is not to defeat them, but to occupy the entire Batavia and turn Batavia into a trade center between Ming and the West.

He ordered the Pingkou army not to carry any heavy loads, and all the cavalry rushed to Fujian day and night to gather. This military operation was not made public for the time being. Once Batavia was occupied, Daming Daily and Honglu Temple immediately declared war on the Dutch.

Why did Zhu Youjian suddenly mobilize the Pingkou army this time? Of course he has his own plans. These people will be stationed in the territories laid down in Southeast Asia in the future.

And the other elites are his own cronies, so of course they won't be stationed outside, and they have to launch attacks on other destinations.

"The imperial conquest?"

When the ministers and generals heard that they were finally going to attack Hongmao, they cheered and jumped for joy, but when they heard that the emperor wanted to conquer the emperor himself, civil and military officials immediately quit.

"Your Majesty, you must not take the imperial conquest yourself. Our Ming Dynasty is now strong and strong, and we don't need your imperial conquest. I still hope that your majesty will be in command of the capital."

"Yes, the sage must not drive himself to conquest, and the humble minister seconded it"

"Weak ministers seconded"

……

This time, it was not only the civil officials who blocked it, but also Sun Chuanting, Zheng Chenggong and others followed suit.

They are not willing to let the Holy Majesty follow the adventure, the ever-changing changes on the sea are not as good as on the land.

Now that the emperor doesn't even have a successor, if something goes wrong, the revived Ming Dynasty will once again fall into doom.

Seeing that all the officials were unwilling to put themselves in danger, although Zhu Youjian was a little moved, he still waved his hand.

Now that the Ministry of War of the Cabinet and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are under the control of his summoning generals, there is no need to worry about Da Ming's troubles because he is not around.

"The world is so big. I want to go out for a walk. I have made up my mind. Lovers, please don't talk too much. Although I am not in the capital, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chuanting, the minister of the Ministry of War, the minister of the Ministry of household, and the minister of the Ministry of industry are still there. You don't need to worry, you all go to prepare for this day, and leave the court."

Zhu Youjian didn't even need eunuchs today, and directly announced his withdrawal from the court. The generals all knew the methods of the emperor, so there was no need to worry about this trip, but the civil servants were worried about another civil fort change.

But they could only be in a hurry, and there was no way to stop them. Since the emperor wanted to go out for a stroll, they had no choice but to retreat in the end.

After retreating, Zhu Youjian returned to Qianqing Palace and immediately shouted:
"Come here, pass that Cao Zhengchun, the green dragon, the white tiger, and the red bird will meet me."

"According to the purpose"

The little eunuch Erxi hurriedly took the order to spread the word to these great masters.

Soon, the four of them walked into the Qianqing Palace:

"See Your Majesty for a humble position."

Zhu Youjian raised his big hand slightly:

"Everyone is free from courtesy, and I will give you a seat!"

Cao Zhengchun and the others hastily bowed to thank them:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm still standing at ease in a humble position. I don't know what your Majesty's orders are?"

Zhu Youjian looked at his loyal subordinates and said:

"In a few days, I will go on a personal conquest. Cao Zhengchun and Qinglong will accompany me. The next burden will fall on the three of you, White Tiger Suzaku Xuanwu. If there is something that cannot be resolved, you can discuss it with Sun Chuanting, or you can go to the Ask Yuhuatian for help, do you know?"

White Tiger Suzaku Xuanwu hastily bowed and saluted:

"Abiding by the order, don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely do according to your will."

Zhu Youjian nodded, then took out a sword and handed it to Baihu:
"This is my Shangfang sword. Seeing this sword is like seeing me in person. You can cut it first and then play it. But I still hope that you will not kill innocent people randomly, understand?"

Zhu Youjian is directly delegating power to the white tiger. If anyone dares to make trouble, the white tiger holds the sword as if the emperor is in person.

"Baihu thank you for your trust, and will never disappoint your expectations."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"Free of courtesy, let's get busy!"

"According to the purpose"

Bai Hu agreed, and bowed all the way to the outside of the hall before turning around and leaving.

After the white tiger retreated, Zhu Youjian said to Qinglong and Cao Zhengchun:
"Go and make arrangements, hand over the unfinished important work in your hands to Baihu and the others, go!

"According to the purpose"

Cao Zhengchun and Qinglong then withdrew from the hall, and Zhu Youjian pulled Ah Qing over:

"Ah Qing, I don't intend to take you with me this time. The main task of you and the guards is to protect the safety of the princess and the palace. This is very important, understand?"
