Borrow the day to change the day

The officials transferred from Yunnan and Guizhou have basically gathered. Zhong Jinwei asked them to write down their successful experiences in contacting ethnic minorities, and then he will review them to see if they are suitable for use on North American Indians in the future.

Finally, he added some experience he had seen or learned from later generations, and compiled all the measures into a book.Then came the training material on how to engage with Indians.

The vassal kings from all over the world have already received the imperial decree, or they went to the capital in person, or sent their most trusted retainers to start this training course.

Of course, Zhong Jinwei just showed his face and did not teach himself.Based on prior contact, he selected several local officials who had contributed good experience to be the teacher.

Then Zhong Jinwei began to arrange the military part again. Compared with the political part, the military part is much simpler.Throw the vassal king or the people sent by the vassal king directly in the new army camp, and after setting up a separate battalion, they will train together with the reorganization of [-] new troops.

Of course, this battalion is mainly for learning and visiting, mainly to understand the composition and combat methods of the new army, and then conduct targeted military command training.

In these two training courses, even the feudal lord had to abide by the rules.Of course, there is still a difference in courtesy after all.But this difference is based on the premise that it does not affect the teaching content.

Those vassal kings who came in person were relatively ambitious, such as Tang Wang.Knowing that it was for them to build a great country in the future, they endured it and obeyed the instructor's instructions.

During this period, the Daming Naval Academy was also under intense preparation, and its location was located in Tianjin.Zheng Zhilong paid the money, and the court allocated manpower and cement, and the building was built very quickly.The first reason is that the funds are in place very quickly, the second is that the manpower is sufficient, and the third is that the Naval Academy does not need to be built magnificently, as long as the infrastructure is in place.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June in the fourth year of Chongzhen. Yan Yingyuan returned to the territory of Daming. After receiving his new appointment, he rushed back to the capital by land and brought back a very important news.

In the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City, Zhong Jinwei met this long-lost brother-in-law and found that he had become dark and thin.

Seeing this, Zhong Jinwei murmured in his heart, whether he would be complained by his mother-in-law and wife after returning home, such a handsome guy would soon become a Kunlun slave.

I only heard Yan Yingyuan report to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, we will finally arrive at Jiaozhi, because Jiaozhi has been divided into the Li Dynasty and the Mo Dynasty, and the two sides are at war, so there is not much food."

At this stage, the matter of obtaining food from Southeast Asia is also very important.After all, many provinces in the north of Ming Dynasty were severely affected by disasters, and no amount of food could be digested.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned, and couldn't help saying: "Jiaozhi was originally a province of our Ming Dynasty. It was only because of poor management and a long journey that we rebelled from Daming. Now it's good, they are still fighting each other gone."

Zhong Jinwei's eyes lit up when he heard it, he thought of an idea, thought about it for a while, and then asked Yan Yingyuan: "How did Li Chao and Mo Chao fight in Jiaozhi Na?"

When Yan Yingyuan heard Zhong Jinwei's question, he turned to his brother-in-law and replied: "The two sides fought once a few years ago, and there was nothing they could do. This time, they started fighting again last year. Depending on the situation, it was another evenly matched battle. .”

Historically, from [-] to [-], the Le and Mo dynasties in Vietnam fought a total of seven major wars.But no one had any choice but to win. In the end, peace talks were concluded with the dispute over the river as the boundary, and the two dynasties of Li and Mo dynasties each managed one side as the end.

After Zhong Jinwei was confirmed, he played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely control Southeast Asia in the future. And Jiaozhi is in turmoil now. I think that we can take this opportunity to bring Jiaozhi back into the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little helpless, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "It would be good to bring Jiaozhi back into my territory of Ming Dynasty, but now that Ming Dynasty has no soldiers, and Jianlu has not been flattened, why should we care about Jiaozhi!"

Every emperor has the ambition to expand the territory. If he can reoccupy the previously lost land, Emperor Chongzhen will naturally not mind.What's more, Ming's future focus must be to send troops to Southeast Asia, and Jiaozhi is much more important than before.

Zhong Jinwei smiled, and then replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, of course not sending troops now. What I mean is to muddy the water now while Cochin is split, and recover Cochin when I have free hands in the future."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhong Jinwei's idea, it seemed that it would be a good way, so he quickly asked, "Master Zhong, how should I do it?"

Yan Yingyuan was also looking at his brother-in-law. Seeing him like that, he knew that the ghost idea he was about to say would definitely work.

Just listen to Zhong Jinwei playing: "Your Majesty, Daming can send people from Dongchang or Jinyiwei to secretly contact the two sides of Jiaozhi, Li, and Mo, and encourage them to continue fighting until both sides lose. By the way, Daming can also take this opportunity to make money."

"Master Zhong, how do you make money?" Emperor Chongzhen asked quickly after hearing this.

"Sell arms to them, let them fight in Dali, until they are angry and dissatisfied in the country, and the hearts of the people are lost. Then Da Ming secretly manipulated it, let one of them ask Da Ming for help, and sent troops to help them save their lives on the condition of returning to Da Ming."

Hearing Zhong Jinwei's words, Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth happily and laughed silently.It seemed that he had seen that Jiaozhi had returned to the embrace of Ming Dynasty, and then Daming used Jiaozhi as a base to continuously send troops to Southeast Asia.

As soon as Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen immediately praised: "Okay, okay, okay, I will immediately upload Jinyiwei and Dongchang to come over to discuss this matter."

"Wait, Your Majesty, I seem to have thought of something again." Zhong Jinwei said suddenly.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he temporarily stopped his movements and stared at Zhong Jinwei, hoping that he would come up with something good again in his head.

After a while, Zhong Jinwei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it, since I have intercourse, I will not do it, and I will not stop, and try to occupy as much territory as possible near Daming."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked, "How do you occupy it?"

"It is to secretly manipulate Li and Mo to attack the surrounding countries when they are exhausted, and then guide them to attack the surrounding countries. The more they occupy, the more land Da Ming will take back." Zhong Jinwei replied with a smile.

"Good strategy!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but praise.

Zhong Jinwei smiled a little embarrassedly, and then reminded: "Your Majesty, this is just an idea. It is still very difficult to do this well. Dongchang and Jinyiwei need to send experts to Jiaozhi to operate this matter. .”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Naturally, but Master Zhong, your idea is worth a million soldiers!"

After complimenting Zhong Jinwei, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent a decree to let Wang Chengen, Luo Yangxing and Wen Tiren come to discuss the matter.
