Chapter 318 Lanx's Mission to Dongjiang

After the sound fell, none of the ministers below answered.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and Dongjiang Town is actually independent of the Ming court.

At the beginning, Mao Wenlong still had imperial power in his heart, no matter how the court treated him, he was afraid.

Otherwise, Yuan Chonghuan wouldn't be able to make an order to kill him.

But the current Dongjiang Town, in the hands of Liu Meng, did not take the court seriously at all.

hehe!How to deal with this?Send troops from the land to attack, stop joking!Across the vast sea!
Send sailors?Even Zheng Zhilong, the dragon king of the East China Sea, can't beat him, who else can he send?

Seeing that none of the ministers said how to deal with it for a long time, Zhu Youjian's anger suddenly rose, but he knew that it was impossible to discuss countermeasures today.

Unable to help, Zhu Youjian sighed in his heart, and said in his heart:

Why is there so many disasters when the Ming Dynasty is in his hands?There are natural disasters year after year, the people are starved of food, and rebellions are frequent in various places; there is Houjin outside, and from time to time they come to the Central Plains to fight the autumn wind!
Now even the soldiers I used to rely on don't pay attention to the court anymore!

Did I do something wrong?I think that since I inherited the throne, I have worked hard and devoted myself to not worrying about the political affairs of the court all the time. That day is not reviewing memorials until late at night;

In order to save money, the empress of the harem took the lead in tight clothing and food, and even her own dragon robe hadn't been changed for several years!
Thinking of the grief and indignation, Zhu Youjian suddenly felt depressed, and looked down at the ministers with their heads bowed and pretending to be wooden figures, feeling disappointed.

Standing up, Zhu Youjian lifted his foot and walked down the steps.

The eunuch standing on the stage was shocked and immediately shouted:
"Back...towards!"

All the officials were also shocked when they heard the sound, and they all knelt down and shouted in unison:

"Chen wait, send your majesty!"

After returning to the harem, Zhu Youjian came to Queen Zhou's palace. Amidst the eunuch's shouts of "the emperor is coming", he saw the eldest daughter, Princess Kunxing Zhu Yu, who was talking with Queen Zhou.

Zhu Youjian loves this eldest daughter very much.

Seeing her, Zhu Youjian felt inexplicably better.

Aunt Zhu immediately knelt down to the ground and saluted Zhu Youjian, and Empress Zhou knelt down to salute Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian waved the two of them to stand up. Empress Zhou stood up and looked at Zhu Youjian, who was not looking very well. She endured it and asked:

"Your Majesty, are you angry about political affairs again?"

Beside, Zhu Yuxi snuggled up to Zhu Youjian's side, and comforted him sensiblely:
"Father, don't be unhappy! The important thing is not those ministers, father should not be too tired!"

Hearing what the two said, Zhu Youjian's heart warmed up, perhaps as if he really wanted to find someone to talk to, he sighed and said:

"Zheng Zhilong and the 150 warships of the Dutch fleet were defeated in Dongjiang Town!"

Hearing this, Queen Zhou exclaimed in surprise:

"Ah! Is Dongjiang so powerful? Your Majesty..."

Aunt Zhu was overjoyed, in her heart, Liu Meng was a great hero, her father shouldn't have sent someone to beat him.

It's all right now, even the sea dragon king Zheng Zhilong can't beat him, he really deserves the hero he admires!
Thinking of this, she became more determined to see Liu Meng with her own eyes.

As for the naval battle that took place in the Yellow Sea, Huang Taiji naturally knew about it, and he couldn't help being afraid of Liu Meng's strength.

Originally thought that if the Ming court came forward and the East China Sea Dragon King Zheng Zhilong took action, even if Liu Meng survived, his vitality would be severely injured, and he would no longer have the strength to trouble him.

But who would have thought that Zheng Zhilong's navy was defeated before they even reached the waters of Pidao.

At this moment, he couldn't help having a headache, and couldn't help thinking:

What to do?It seems that the Ming court can't handle Dongjiang Liu Meng either!

But what worries him the most is the inseparable enmity between Dongjiang and Houjinhua. As long as he dares to lead troops into the pass, Dongjiang will definitely lead troops into Houjin's territory and destroy his lair.

Thinking of the consequences, Huang Taiji sighed helplessly, and could only temporarily extinguish his plan to enter the pass again.

He had the patience to wait, waiting for the Ming court to continue to corrupt.

Don't forget, those leaders of the rebel army are getting bigger and bigger.

A few days later, Zhu Youjian no longer had time to pay attention to the affairs of the Dongjiang River. The affairs of the rebels in various places made him burnt out.

One month later, the Chaoyong, Guangjia, and Weiyuan, which were on patrol in the Yellow Sea, stopped two Dutch warships flying white flags.

The distance between the two sides was three miles, and the Dutch lowered the lifeboat and rowed to the Super Brave.

Under the interpretation of the interpreter, Liu Lianggui, the captain in charge of the Chaoyong, understood that these Dutchmen came to seek peace and trade.

He couldn't make up his mind, so he took the two Dutch warships all the way back to Shicheng Island.

After receiving the news, Liu Meng guessed the Dutchman's plan with just a little guesswork. It was nothing more than buying blueprints for the new sailing warship from him.

This is also the usual trick of these foreign devils. If they can't beat you, they will do everything possible to get your advanced weapon manufacturing methods, arm themselves and strengthen themselves, even if they pretend to be grandsons.

When they become stronger, they will turn their faces and attack you mercilessly.

As for face, in their perception, only power is reasonable.

For these Dutch people, Liu Meng has no good feelings at all.

From the 32nd year of Wanli to the present, the Dutch have repeatedly invaded the waters of Daming. If they were not afraid of Zheng Zhilong's Haidao Group, they would have entered the coast of Daming and regarded Daming as their colony.

This is also one of the main reasons why Liu Meng doesn't want to kill Zheng Zhilong now.

Secondly, it is also for the sake of Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong. You must know that this is a national hero who really fought against the invasion of China by foreigners!

And in the next few years, Liu Meng does not plan to interfere with the internal affairs of Ming Dynasty, so why not take advantage of these few years to have fun with the Dutch, and to use the still gratifying navy team to practice and practice for future dominance Four Oceans prepare.

Thinking of this, Liu Meng stood up, took his platoon of guards, and set off for the pier.

On the pier at this time, Lanx was shocked when he looked at the huge pier in front of him.

Because this pier is even bigger than the largest pier in the Netherlands.

What surprised him the most was that the pier was actually made of 'stones'. Of course, he didn't know cement, so he mistook it for stones.

Looking from the pier, the road is smooth and stone, and the houses on both sides of the road are neatly built.

It is not at all like the dirty and messy environment of the Dutch capital, and there is no cross-flow of feces, water and garbage at all.

And those Ming people, whether they were soldiers or ordinary people, were full of energy. It could be seen that these Ming people lived better than all the Dutch people.
