Borrow the day to change the day

As the days went by, the weather started to turn from severe cold to warmer.Everyone in Daming began to get busy nervously.

The news that King Tang first feudalized North America has been officially announced to the world, and relevant preparations are in full swing.The capital continued to have envoys traveling to and from Nanyang, Henan, to coordinate the handover of the Tang king and the local government and various other matters.

During this period, the Northern Fleet successfully completed its mission and returned to the port of Tianjin Wei for rest, while Yan Yingyuan escorted the Dutch prisoners of war to Beijing. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest

Compared with Duke Xingguo's quelling of the Jiangnan Rebellion at the beginning of the previous year, this time, both the scale and the results of the battle are much smaller.The result was also expected, so no grand ceremony of offering prisoners was held.

In Wenhua Hall, Yan Yingyuan reported the battle to Emperor Chongzhen, and all the ministers listened, including Zhong Jinwei.

"Your Majesty, I led the fleet to the south, surrounded and suppressed 760 pirate lairs, and captured 130 and [-] pirates and their families. After arriving at the high officials, the Dutch surrendered without a fight, and captured [-] and [-] people in total, including two warships. "Yan Yingyuan made a brief report.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen has been continuously stimulated by Zhong Jinwei, his vision has become much higher.Regarding Yan Yingyuan's victory, he just nodded slightly.

He was more concerned about the running-in situation of the Northern Fleet this time, so he asked Yan Yingyuan: "How is the fleet going south this time?"

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, and others all looked at Yan Yingyuan, paying close attention to this question.

"Returning to Your Majesty, during this voyage, many wenti have indeed been discovered. Some wentikeneng have been solved slowly during the voyage, but some wentikeneng need to be given by the craftsman." Yan Yingyuan straightened his body and replied with a bow.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was rather curious, so he asked, "Is there anything that hasn't been resolved?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, one of the big ships exposed by the fleet this time is the Fuchuan with [-] materials. It is too slow to use small boats to replenish the warships at sea. And the Fuchuan is too big, and there is no suitable berth in general ports. Even landing supplies is a troublesome matter. Therefore, I want to bring this matter to the craftsmen to see if they can solve it?"

As soon as Yan Yingyuan's words fell, before Emperor Chongzhen expressed his opinion, Zhong Jinwei said, "Have you considered directly resupplying through pulleys?"

"Ah, the pulley?" Yan Yingyuan didn't understand, and looked up at his brother-in-law with a puzzled expression.

Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhong Jinwei's meaning, as if he had a solution, and couldn't help but smile slightly on his face, looking at Zhong Jinwei.

But Zhong Jinwei looked at his brother-in-law and explained to him in detail: "The blessing boat is tall, while the warship is relatively short, so there is a height difference. In this way, you can first shoot the arrow with a rope to the opposite boat, and then use the pulley Just slide the supplies over."

Although he still didn't understand clearly, Yan Yingyuan roughly understood how to do it through Zhong Jinwei's description.He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said to his brother-in-law: "Okay, what should I do next!"

But the studious Emperor Chongzhen didn't know, so Zhong Jinwei talked again, and even touched on the fixed pulley, movable pulley and their combination, and directly put Yan Yingyuan, the protagonist of the meeting, aside.

Finally, Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhong Jinwei to apply the idea of ​​the fixed pulley before returning to the original topic.

When Yan Yingyuan arrived at this time, he said some difficulties one by one.Some people proposed solutions on the spot, and some had to go back and discuss them later.

After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "After the Northern Fleet rests for five days, it still needs to go to Ryukyu. Regarding this matter, Yang Qing will explain to you carefully."

Not long after Yan Yingyuan came back, he was about to go out again. Although he was a little tired, his sacred order was hard to disobey.At the same time, he also wanted to hone his commanding skills, so he responded simply and neatly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen was also very satisfied with Yan Yingyuan's attitude. It is quite tiring to return after sailing thousands of miles and go out again.He comforted Yan Yingyuan a few words before letting him back down.

As soon as Yan Yingyuan left, Emperor Chongzhen asked his courtiers: "What should I do with the captured pirates and Dutchmen? Do you have any suggestions?"

Originally, all the prisoners of Ming Dynasty were exiled overseas to build a large supply point.But because Zhong Jinwei was in the battle to exterminate the captives, there were enough captives, and there was no need for prisoners.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen asked this question, what other ways to deal with it?For the current Emperor Chongzhen, he already understood that the best way to deal with it is not to "click" to end it, but to extract the maximum value.

"Your Majesty, if we don't take them to dig iron mines, there won't be too much labor there." Wen Tiren thought for a while, and then suggested.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this. This is a good idea. Just as he was about to agree, Zhong Jinwei said first: "Your Majesty, I think it would be a bit wasteful for these people to mine iron ore as pure labor."

"Oh, what advice does Master Zhong have?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen put down his previous thoughts and turned to look at Zhong Jinwei and asked.

Wen Tiren was also curious, did Mr. Xingguo have any good ideas?

Just listen to Zhong Jinwei's suggestion to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, didn't you plan to give benefits to the vassal king who volunteered to go to North America first? Now that the king of Tang has been appointed, why not give him all these captives. Because He couldn't recruit people who are familiar with maritime affairs in the interior, and with these captives, there will be an extra guarantee for the success of King Tang's feudal North America."

The first vassal king feudalized North America, and the court certainly wanted it to succeed.Not only can it be successful, but it is best to go smoothly.In this way, it can set an example for the subsequent vassal kings, thereby promoting the process of the entire vassal king's feudal North America.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren and others felt that Zhong Jinwei's suggestion was bucuo.For the imperial court, they are just prisoners of crime.But for Tang Wang, it is a powerful supplement.Therefore, the proposal was agreed to.

A few days later, the Jingying sent Cao Bianjiao to lead Li Wenxiu and Ainengqi to set off with the Northern Fleet.Although Li Wenxiu and Ainengqi were young, their mastery of firearms and tactics was among the best in the Beijing camp.Therefore, they had this opportunity and did not allow Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, who left Beijing last year, to focus on their beauty.

After a few days, the seeds sown before have blossomed and bear fruit, and the harvest has begun.Ji Liao Governor Sun Chengzong sent people to Beijing to report that the last batch of reorganized soldiers and military households had left for Liaodong.

This means that the northern army has completed its initial reorganization after almost a year.Whether it was the remaining prestige of exterminating the captives, or the strength displayed by the Beijing camp, or the correctness of the reorganization plan, this reorganization was basically completed smoothly without any major accidents.
