Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 399

There have been many empty ships in the port of Dalian Port recently.Many of these ships are new ships manufactured by Royal Shipyard No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-]. However, these new ships do not carry cargo, and they are moored in Dalian Port. They do not know their purpose.

"As long as these dozens of ships are used to transport goods, our fleet is just short of some cargo ships to transport goods to Annan Kingdom. I heard that Annan Kingdom and the Northern and Southern Dynasties are at war again, and various supplies are in short supply. A good opportunity for war money!" A businessman in Dalian Port saw these empty ships flying the official banner of the Far East Trading Company, and always felt that it would be a pity that he would lose hundreds of taels of silver every day he parked.

"Speaking of making war fortunes, isn't Shanxi, Northern Shaanxi, Heluo and other places also engaged in wars? If we can transport food and herbs there, we can get ten times or a hundred times the gross profit." Another businessman said.

"Don't think about the business in Shanxi and Shanxi. The army of the Liao Army has controlled all the gates entering the pass from the north. For the time being, no merchants are allowed to enter the pass from the north to trade. They can only go by water. If you go from Shandong, Tianjin Wei and other places go to Shanxi Prefecture, the journey is long, and most of the goods will be looted by the rioters."

"I don't know what the Fuliao Army has done recently, but I always feel that the atmosphere is a little bit wrong. I heard that the Fuliao Army has surrounded Dalinghe Fort, and it looks like they are going to raise troops to enter the pass."

"If this is the case, then it is very likely that the sky will change. This is an incredible event."

A group of sensitive businessmen discuss in private.

But no matter what they thought, these empty ships were guarded by soldiers of the Admiralty, and ordinary people could not approach them.At best, only workers who inspect the condition of the ships can check the safety of these empty ships.

In addition to the empty ships in Dalian Port, there is another thing that seems very abnormal.The formations of Victory and Atlanta have been moored in Dalian Port, claiming to protect Dalian Port.And now Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet in Nagasaki Port, has received another military order from Chu Yun-to lead the main force of the Beiyang Fleet back to Dalian Port.

"Just forced the shogunate to sign the Treaty of Yokohama, returned to Nagasaki Port from Edo Bay, and now returns to Dalian Port, our Beiyang Fleet is really busy." Deputy Commander Shi Daxuan knew about Chu Yun's another dispatch, Can't help complaining.

"There is something to show that the officers and soldiers of our Beiyang Fleet have the opportunity to make great achievements. Isn't that good? The recent limelight has been taken away by the Nanyang Fleet, and it is finally our turn to dispatch the newly established Beiyang Fleet." Zheng Zhilong said, "The order Go down, and we will return to Dalian Port in two days."

The news that the Beiyang Fleet stationed in Nagasaki Port was hastily preparing to leave quickly spread in Kyushu Island, and then spread to Honshu Island by the shogunate spies on Kyushu Island. .They didn't know that the earth-shattering event of Li Zicheng's two-way attack on the capital had happened in Huaxia. They only knew that the great ability of the Liao army must have happened, otherwise why would they leave in such a hurry.

The Beiyang Fleet only left two gunboats in Yokohama Village and Nagasaki Port respectively, and together they are only four gunboats.For the vast four islands of Dongying Kingdom, the deterrent significance of the four gunboats is greater than the actual significance.

For the Tokugawa shogunate, the big rock of the Beiyang Fleet landed, and finally there was no need to worry about when Edo Castle would be captured by the Beiyang Fleet.However, for a while, daimyo vassal states around the world were ready to move.Obviously, this time is the time when the Fuliao Army has the least influence on Dongying Kingdom.

The family of the Shimadzu family, Shimadzu Tadahisa, recalled his son Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, who was in charge of Nagasaki Port, and then sent samurai to contact the daimyos on Kyushu and Shikoku islands.The island of Honshu was also turbulent, the daimyos began to stand in line, and some people began to doubt the authority of the shogunate, and dissatisfaction with the shogunate's act of ceding land was on the rise.

On the seventh day after the Liao Army withdrew from Kyushu Island, a massive peasant uprising broke out in the Shimabara and Amakusa areas of Dongying Country.
On the tenth day, the Tokugawa shogunate was shocked and dispatched his retainer Tadakatsu Sakai to Kyushu to supervise the battle, and ordered the daimyos of Satsuma, Higo, and Hyuga in Kyushu to send retainers and samurai to suppress the uprising.

Maybe even Chu Yun couldn't imagine that every move of the Liao Army had actually had a huge impact on the entire Dongying Kingdom.With the fleet of the Liao Army, all forces can only obediently maintain the current situation and make a concerted effort to prevent the Liao Army from having an excuse to embezzle more land.But once the Liao army leaves, it is equivalent to the chains tied to the necks of a few beasts being untied, and these beasts will begin to challenge the status of the shogunate.

The navy staying at Nagasaki Port and Yokohama Village remained indifferent to the chaotic Kyushu Island.Because after Zheng Zhilong left, the military department ordered the remaining troops to be optimistic about their own one-acre three-point land.As long as the peasant rebel army on Kyushu Island does not threaten the safety of Nagasaki Port, they are also happy to see the shogunate, daimyo, and rebel army of Dongying Kingdom in chaos.

Zheng Zhilong, who returned from Nagasaki Port, had no time to take care of the small troubles in Kyushu Island.

To be honest, after Zheng Zhilong returned to Dalian Port, he was just a little surprised when he received the news of the tens of thousands of peasant uprisings in Kyushu Island, but he was not shocked.Dongying Kingdom is more like a shrunken version of Ming Dynasty, with a peasant uprising of ten thousand people.Look at the Ming uprising army in northern Shaanxi, Heluo, Shanxi and other places, there are hundreds of thousands at every turn.

It is this group of people that the Liao army needs to face, and the peasant uprising in Kyushu Island, let the shogunate and the local daimyo have a headache.

Zheng Zhilong returned to the Dalian Port Admiralty and met Nelson who hadn't appeared in front of outsiders for a while.He was accompanied by staff officers from the Golden State Military Staff Headquarters.The order was conveyed by the military staff officer himself, rather than by telegram. It can be seen that this cannot be said to be urgent, but it must be very important.

"The military lord summoned all the brigade-level officers of the Ministry of the Army in Jinzhou City, and now there is a lack of adults from the Ministry of the Navy." The military staff officer from Jinzhou City said to Nelson and Zheng Zhilong, "General Zheng Zhilong, I sympathize with you when you just came back. It’s time to get on the train to Jinzhou City again.”

"I'm used to it. Trains are better than floating on the sea." Zheng Zhilong said nonchalantly, and turned to Nelson, who had taught him a lot of modern naval warfare knowledge in the past two years, and asked, "Teacher, what's up with that boy Deng Qianlong of the Nanyang Fleet?" did not return?"

"The Nanyang Fleet has their mission and will participate in our operation in another form. This time is a great strategic operation." Nelson, who has a closer relationship with Chu Yun, obviously knows the situation of this strategic operation.
