My Daming New Empire

"To deter the countries of Southeast Asia, those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish."

"Exactly!" Zhu Zhanji sat up and said with a smile: "The countries in Southeast Asia now mainly believe in the Green religion. Although they are vassal states of my Ming Dynasty in name, they don't speak my Ming language or write my Ming characters. Instead, I focus on learning the characters of the small Western countries. I have already begun to ask them to Sinicize in Malaka, but a Malaka is too small. I want to promote my Confucianism not only in Malaka, but also in all Southeast Asian countries. , Promote Chinese characters.

Although the Duke of Dian Kingdom is extremely talented, he is old and compassionate, and he has long lost his courage in the time of Jingnan.If Gu can manage Nanyang for a long time, he should use his talents.But Gu has no time.

When the Nanzhou storm season is over, Gu will go to Nanzhou, and when he returns from Nanzhou, Gu will go to the Western Ocean.So Gu can only cut through the mess quickly, and sort out all the Nanyang region, so that all countries and tribes in the Nanyang region must not only respect my Ming Dynasty, but also fear me.

Only in this way can we quickly promote Sinicization in the Nanyang region, and make the Nanyang countries become the real vassal states of our Ming Dynasty, just like North Korea and Dongying, do you understand? "

Liu An cupped his fists and said, "I understand!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "It's good to understand! Gu respects the Duke of Dian, but this trip to Nanyang cannot be planned for a long time according to his intentions. As the commander of his subordinates, you should respect his intentions, but you cannot You must obey your advice and make your own decisions. Sun Shaojian..."

Sun Lin responded, "Your servant is here!"

"Let Feng Chong follow Liu An to Bengkulu and provide some information."

"Yes!"

Jin Kuo said at this time: "His Royal Highness, Wan Mao of Mingkulu has no intention of rebelling now, so why rush to send troops? The old slave thought that I would send troops after he knew that his son was dead and made a choice." It's not too late."

Although Zhu Zhanji knew that Jin Kuo's suggestion was the upright policy of the Heavenly Dynasty, he was unwilling to waste time like this.He said with a smile: "My Daming can send troops first, as long as he doesn't come to Jiugang, I will raise troops to attack. Zhuang Jing, Pang Ying..."

The two immediately clasped their fists together and said, "The minister is here."

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. Are you in control of those Japanese pirates now?"

Zhuang Jing said with a bit of self-possession: "It's like an arm and a finger."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Okay, bring the map."

Sun Lin handed over a map of Sumatra and spread it out on the table in front of Zhu Zhanji.Zhu Zhanji waved, and several people in the hall climbed the steps and came to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji pointed to the map and said: "It takes a few days for the army to prepare for the expedition, and it will take time for the fleet to go around to Bengkulu in the southwest of the island. Moreover, the army will attack from the sea and take the capital of Bengkulu directly. It is inevitable to write omissions, so I asked the Habayashi School to send [-] soldiers who are proficient in map surveying and jungle warfare, and [-] Japanese pirates go upstream from the Musi River until they reach Lublin High at the northern foot of Kaba Volcano. There are two valleys that can be connected across the island. mountains and reached Bengkulu."

After a pause, Zhu Zhanji said again: "After entering Bengkulu, I asked the Japanese pirate camp to implement the three-light policy, kill them all, burn them all, and rob them all, so that the Bengkulu tribe can know what real pain is!"

Zhuang Jing's face turned serious, and he asked with some concern: "Your Highness, will this make other tribes hate me, Daming?"

"These are all done by the Japanese. They are just a vicious dog of my Ming Dynasty. It is their duty to make the enemy fearful and fearful. I will let the fleet wait for you in Lublin and tell the Japanese that all the seizures need only Pay half."

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhang Fengshan again and said: "The mission of the Habayashi guards is not to kill people, but to provide routes and intelligence support for the Japanese. You must supervise the mobilization of the army of the Bengkulu tribe, and don't let the Japanese fall into the encirclement of their army. Man, I still have great use."

Zhang Fengshan gave a military salute and said, "The general understands!"

Zhu Zhanji then stretched his waist and said: "The two armies should pay attention to the timing. The Japanese pirate camp burned, killed and looted from the northeast, scaring the people to the capital, and then the army directly attacked the capital from the southwest. In terms of details, you will discuss the details." Let's discuss and go to rest first."

Zhu Zhanji has practiced for a long time and has not slept all day and night. Although it is not harmful to the body, it is not good for health preservation.

He knew that in the original history, he himself only lived in his thirties.Although his Taoist health preservation has been achieved in a small way now, he dare not be sloppy.

Back in the backyard, he didn't disturb the concubines who had already fallen asleep, let his childhood sweetheart who was still waiting for him take him into their room, sat on the floor and adjusted his breathing for half an hour, and then fell asleep in their bed. middle.

Zhuang Jing and Zhang Fengshan discussed the details again, and they went to Xue Lu's small courtyard together to report military affairs to Xue Lu, the army chief.

Only then did Xue Lu know that Zhu Zhanji didn't want to leave any room for the Bengkulu tribe at all, and took advantage of the death of a Ming soldier in Rahat's hands, so he took the opportunity to directly destroy the Bengkulu tribe.

He also understands that it's not that Zhu Zhanji wants to guard against him, but Zheng He.

He knew what he had to do, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and he directly issued the order flag for the purpose of mobilizing troops.

This kind of small-scale troop transfer does not require a tiger talisman at all. Xue Lu, as the commander-in-chief, can just issue the command flag directly.

But for Zheng He and the others to send troops, Zhu Zhanji must personally issue the tiger talisman.

It wasn't until noon that Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying returned to the Japanese pirate camp at the mouth of the sea, and immediately beat the drums and ordered the soldiers.

These Japanese pirates had been trained by Daming for more than a year. Hearing the beating of the drum, one by one quickly dropped the mahjong and poker cards in their hands, put on formal clothes, and carried their Japanese swords to the school field of the temporary barracks.

These people are not as strict as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so except for the holidays in Malaka and Luzon, they were not given time to relax in Boni Kingdom and Palembang.

Most of the people here in Palembang are Chinese, let alone let them go out to harm others.

They all felt uncomfortable, and when they heard the beating of the drum, they were not surprised but happy.

When the three links are drummed, those who do not reach will be cut off.But there were not many of them, less than 2000 people, so when the second drum sounded, all the people had already gathered.

Zhuang Jing is also very proud of being on the general platform, he has put in a lot of effort to straighten out the management of these gangsters.

Looking at the crowd in the audience, he shouted loudly: "From Dongying to Daming, to Nanyang, are you aggrieved?"

The Japanese pirates in the audience didn't understand Zhuang Jing's intentions, and only responded sparsely. "Aggrieved!"

Zhuang Jing smiled, and said again: "His Royal Highness orders!"

Everyone knelt down on one knee, and there was no sound except for the clash of armor.

"His Royal Highness has an order that the Japanese battalion will go to war tomorrow. This time, we will attack the Bengkulu tribe in the southwest. This battle is not subject to military law, and the policy of killing, burning, and looting will be implemented. Even if there are those little beauties, you can enjoy them as you like. ..."

Everyone in the audience applauded loudly, each and every one of them was very excited.

Zhuang Jing smiled, and said again: "But, remember to save your own life, your life not only belongs to me, but also belongs to me, Daming!"

Zhuang Jing was not afraid that they would shrink back in fear of battle, these people had no other skills, burning, killing and looting had become their nature, and they never feared the enemy.

What Zhuang Jing was afraid of was that they were too arrogant, because of rape and looting, they broke up the army and lost their lives.

These people are his biggest reliance now, and he still wants to rely on these people to earn enough credit to guard one side like Ji Gang.

These Japanese pirates have been held back for more than half a year, and each one is eager to earn credit.

But in the various armies of Ming Dynasty, there are mixed feelings.

Because this is a temporary dispatch of troops, and the guards of the Ming Dynasty are actively preparing for the competition, so the candidates for the expedition must ignore those who will participate in the competition.

Most of the soldiers originally participated in competitive competitions with great enthusiasm, but they did not expect that because of this reason, they could not participate in the battle.So for a while, some people are happy and some are worried.

The trio of Sunan, Duan Renzhi, and Ma Dezhong are now facing parting.

Sunan is the new chief officer, in charge of a fleet of five ships, and has no time to participate in competitive competitions, but Duan Renzhi and Ma Dezhong both signed up.

Duan Renzhi is the striker of the Cuju Team of the First Fleet, although his body is not strong.But his speed is fast, his body is flexible, and he has a strong sense of grabbing points. He is the No. [-] striker of the Cuju team.

And Ma Dezhong was born in Caozhou, where people have been good at martial arts since ancient times. The Dahongquan passed down by Ma's ancestors resounded all over the place, but it declined in the generation of Ma Dezhong's grandfather.

His father was weak and abandoned martial arts to pursue literature. Some local tyrants coveted his family's Dahong fist and set up a trap to ruin his family.
