This military exercise was lonely for foreign guests.

Because they had no idea what the final result was, but the spectacular scene of hundreds of artillery fired volleys still shocked them. Ask yourself, their army would probably collapse if they could not get three rounds of fire with such artillery fired.

Finally I understood why North Korea was so straightforward and requested back.

I used to laugh at North Korea for being too cowardly.

Now I find that it is not the North Korean Li Yi, who is called cleverness. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, it is called the knowledgeable people of the times.

If your country is next to the Ming Dynasty...

Please be faster and more straightforward!

The foreign guests were lonely, but Zhu Di, Huang Du and others saw an infinitely broad future, especially Zhu Di. He finally truly understood why Huang Du has to work hard to promote the construction of steel warships.

Without steel warships, it is just a treasure ship. It can be done by carrying so many artillery while equiping the main heavy artillery, but speed will be sacrificed.

The steel warship can even be equipped with main heavy artillery at the tail of the ship.

The key is that steel warships do not need sails.

This is very awesome.

If the steel warships, artillery, main heavy artillery, machine guns, this configuration allows the entire fleet to be equipped with a complete range, middle and near coverage of the enemy fleet.

Don't be too perfect!

So on the way to respond to the sky, Zhu Di happily agreed to the construction plan of the dusk: the five warships currently included in the organization can go to Weihai and prepare to go to Japan's waters after the Spring Festival.

At the same time, the Beiyang Fleet was established.

It mainly includes five warships that have been launched and ten warships that have been launched next, the flagship Yingtian.

The first commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Fleet will be Zheng Hequan.

When he returned to Yingtian, Zhu Di's first order was to allow the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Ministry of Revenue to allocate all resources to Weihai, Shandong.

Prepare for the expedition to Japan.

At the same time, an expeditionary army was established, and soldiers who were proficient in water were selected to be transferred to the navy, and infantry and cavalry were formed. Zhu Gaoxu was appointed as the deputy commander of the expeditionary army, and rushed to Weihai today to cooperate with Zheng He to prepare many matters.

On the other side of the Military Weapons Institute, large-scale firearms were quickly produced and delivered to the Navy and Expeditionary Forces.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue are ready for recruitment.

The Ministry of Revenue has allocated funds to purchase grain and grass in large quantities to ensure the cost of the Expeditionary Force within two years. The Ministry of Industry urges major commercial banks and industries under the Ministry of Industry to expand the scale of cement production.

At the same time, each metallurgical plant expanded its production capacity.

When we arrive in Japan, we need to adopt a step-by-step annexation strategy, and we need to establish a rear base camp along the coast of Japan Island to ensure war command and logistics replenishment and storage.

So a lot of cement and steel are needed.

At the same time, Zhu Di personally summoned Leli and Mahadevi. After half an hour of "friendly" negotiations, Leli and Mahadevi both agreed very well and immediately wrote a letter to deliver Jiaozhi and Angkor. They cooperated with the local governor and the General Office to recruit a total of 100,000 people on the Indochina Peninsula. When the Ming Dynasty made progress in Japan, they quickly transported the 100,000 people to build a base there.

These operations were decided by Zhu Di and Dusk after discussing.

There is only one purpose.

Taking advantage of the indestructibility of this base camp, it was nailed to Japan tightly, and then using the power of the Daming Divine Machinery Firearm to gradually erode the entire Japanese territory.

On the other hand, an insignificant imperial edict was sent to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.

Let go of the sale of treasure ships.

If a domestic business wants to buy treasure ships, four hundred materials and two hundred materials for overseas trade, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War can buy them with ease.

This is a superficial imperial edict.

Anyone can buy a treasure ship.

But in private, the eunuch who passed the imperial edict gave an oral order to the two ministers of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War. The treasure ship was as high as possible to meet the Times Group, but it was not limited to the quantity and sold at a cost price.

If other businesses purchase, the limited quantity is within three ships.

And make a profit.

The news spread quickly, and the powerful and powerful ministers of the government and the country understood the signal: His Majesty was planning to send Zhenxi Duke overseas to establish his own power.

In other words, it is easy to get together and part with the king and his subjects!

This is a great thing!

Therefore, the Spring Festival in the 20th year of Yongle showed that the Ming Dynasty was jubilant and peaceful, but at the upper level of the court, it was not just about to go to Japan.

On the other hand, the future emperor candidate who had not been truly decided for many years was finally settled after Zhu Gaoxu became the deputy commander of the Expeditionary Force.

The real dust settles!

The position of the prince is as stable as Mount Tai, which is a good thing for court officials and countries. Therefore, during the Spring Festival of the 20th year of Yongle, the Changchun County Prince's Mansion was full of people - the prince is in the East Palace and the East Palace is in the Imperial City.

If everyone can't please the prince, then please please the grandson.

This made Zhu Zhanji a little confused and annoyed. After he began to avoid the Beijing officials and the local officials who returned to Beijing to report their duties. He went to the Huang Mansion today and the East Palace tomorrow. A few days later, he simply took the grandson concubine Hu Shanxiang and Sun to hide in the Qianqing Palace in the name of accompanying his grandfather, and asked Hu Shanxiang and Sun to serve the crown princess Zhang.

He accompanied Zhu Di to spend a few days of purity.

However, Zhu Di is not pure either.

The commander, governor, deputy governor, and dukes who were in Beijing and returned to Beijing to report their duties almost every few days to find an excuse to come to the Qianqing Palace to greet Zhu Di.

In the words, all kinds of people were coveting the position of the head commander of the expeditionary army.

After Zhu Di revealed that he wanted to command the army in person, these generals changed their minds.

He began to covet positions below the head coach and deputy coach.

Anyway, we all have the same idea: the military strength of our Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by fighting Japan? This is when we gain military achievements, so fools will not fight for this hot commodity.

So Zhu Di also had to be busy dealing with those who came to run for the officials.

And he also had to host a banquet for foreign guests and vassal kings.

We also have to reunite with the harem. If you have something to do, you have to call Dusk to the Qianqing Hall to discuss the expedition to Japan, or ask about Dusk’s plans for the offshore.

The Spring Festival of the 20th year of Yongle has passed so busy.

And dusk is also very busy.

On the one hand, we have to prepare for going to sea, and on the other hand, we have to discuss the many details of the expedition to Japan with Zhu Di from time to time, and we have to be busy with some things.

He became a father again.

Tang Sai'er, Quan Zhaoxian, Feichun, Muhammara, and the four sisters of the Xu family, first Tang Sai'er was about to give birth and gave birth to a girl to the dusk. Then the four sisters of the Xu family gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a son. Then Feichun, Quan Zhaoxian, and Muhammara entered the labor period one after another.

So for the next period of time, Huangfu ate happy eggs every day.

fine.

There is a good wife.

Xu Miaojin basically handled these things, which gave Dusk more time and energy to be busy with national affairs.
