Chapter seven hundred and three preparations

Cao Wenzhao attached great importance to the attack on the Satsuma vassal state and was preparing for it in a intensive manner.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was still worried about checking, he took him to inspect the various firearms, food, and weapons in preparation, and explained: "Master, I have transferred twenty ships for transportation, each ship can transport at least two thousand troops, so that he can transport 10,000 people and 200 cannons in one go!"

Zhu Xu was about to speak when a group of soldiers not far away suddenly waved their black spears and shouted loudly, "Long live my emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

The voice was intense and passionate.

Zhu Xu looked at the group of soldiers, about fifty people, obviously a team, and was carrying out some kind of mobilization.

When Cao Wenzhao saw this, he immediately changed the subject and said: "Emperor, the entire Hu Ben Army is loyal to the emperor. I guarantee that there is a rebellion, and you will chop my head!"

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said to himself: It is still useful to keep brainwashing over the years. It seems that they are quite eager for military achievements, but it is very useful.

It has been six or seven years, and Zhu Xu's spending on the army must definitely exceed his investment in the disaster. If there is no effect, he will have to kill him!

"Continue to talk about your thoughts." Zhu Xu's eyes turned elsewhere.

Cao Wenzhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, yourselves will not affect the transportation of the canal. At most, I can gain a foothold in the Liuzhou ball in one month. Give me a few more days to fight back and then counterattack..."

He did not say a detailed combat plan, because although he had read a lot of information, he still did not conduct on-site inspections. He still looked at the specific situation of Satsuma and Ryuu. He could not formulate a combat plan out of thin air.

Zhu Xu calculated a little and said, "Well, at that time, I should have arrived in Fujian. I must move quickly and quickly, and it cannot become a war of attrition. Also, the purpose of the war is to obtain spoils. It is not a matter of repelling the enemy. What I have told you before is not a joke..."

Cao Wenzhao suddenly remembered that when he was in Jinghuan Palace, Zhu Xu joked with him that he should treat the enemy with the 'autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, cold and ruthless', and to 'pull the geese by passing by, weaken the enemy and strong himself', and immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, your elders, everything will be ready to stop. The first wave of scouting ships will set off tonight, and we will guarantee that we will not miss the emperor's affairs!"

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. The reason why he came here again was that he was uneasy in his heart. This was the first overseas battle of the Ming Dynasty, and there must be no loss. He also hoped to use this battle to inspire the navy. If he lost, it would be counterproductive.

Zhu Xu suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart, and his expression was still in motion to instruct Cao Wenzhao again. This was endless. He even analyzed the character of the Japanese people, saying that some people could be properly incorporated and used for later use.

Cao Wenzhao listened carefully and did not dare to be careless.

More than an hour later, Zhu Xu left the Hu Ben Army camp and returned to the small building.

Cao Bianjiao asked, then said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, you're ready."

Zhu Xu stood up, took a deep breath, looked at Bumubutai, Hai Lanzhu, Li Xiangjun and other people, without any polite words, and said, "I have said everything I should say, be careful on the way."

Hai Lanzhu was very reluctant. She regarded Zhu Xu as her biggest support. She was about to part with her in just a short time, and her face was a little reluctant.

This is a very emotional and insecure woman.

Bumubutai was calm as usual. Zhu Xu had already told her his thoughts last night.

She also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to enter the palace, but she wanted to live quietly, stay away from right and wrong, and run a big chamber of commerce.

Li Xiangjun blinked her big eyes and pursed her lips. She didn't say a word, but just kept looking at Zhu Xu quietly.

Zhu Xu was reluctant to give up, but he turned around cruelly and got on the prepared carriage. The Shenji Camp and the Imperial Guard also followed him quietly.

It is not a secret for many people here, so naturally there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him. When he saw his carriage leave, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Xu was the emperor they had ever met who put the most pressure on them, making them unable to sleep or eat!

When the Governor's Office, Fang Kongzhao, Xu Jie, and Feng Jiangfeng, who had just arrived, heard the reward, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense expressions calmed down a lot. Zhu Xu was worried for a day, and they had left.

Feng Jiangfeng is the new right-sponsor. According to the regulations, he is in charge of the Criminal Prison Office. He suddenly said with a stern face, "Master Fang, Lord Xu, although the emperor is leaving, we cannot be careless! Now I don't know how many people are staring at us. If there is any flaw, they will be attacked by the group!"

Fang Kongzhao and Xu Jie both nodded deeply. Although many generals were awakened in a major performance, they immediately bowed to the "New Policy". However, they were unwilling to accept it. There were still many people who were disobedient. They were hiding in the dark, like poisonous snakes, waiting for them to reveal their flaws at all times, and then bite them hard!

In the Governor's Court, Wang Beicheng and others were well-informed. After hearing this, the big stone that was worried in his heart finally fell.

The emperor did not kill or search the house in Nanzhili, and finally he left a decent gift to them.

Next, they work hard to promote the "New Deal", especially the establishment of the governing body of prefectures and counties in various places, and they must work hard.

The provincial governor's general envoy, plus the chief of the deputy chief, has a total of 49 people, but local governments, except for the prefect, there are fourteen magistrates. Each of these candidates has to be carefully selected. Starting from the "ideology", then abilities, morality, reputation, status, relationships, etc., are extremely complicated, and ordinary people really can't do it.

The most headache was Qian Qianyi. Listening to the news of Zhu Xu's departure, his face wrinkled into a big bun.

Zhu Xu did not give him a new decree, which means that there has been no change in the "ban" of the imperial examination. This term will be blocked from the imperial examination. In addition, those who have already decided to "not be an official", may have as many as 90% of the scholars "not be an official for the rest of their lives"!

This is only for this generation. In the next three to five years, this proportion may decrease, but the total number will definitely be more than 50%!

In the next five years, more than half of the scholars will not be able to enter the imperial examination. At the same time, I don’t know how many officials will be dismissed from office and cannot be resurrected. These thoughts make people feel numb and frightened!

This is going to cause chaos in the world!

The emperor really dares to do this!

Qian Qianyi had a great headache and his expression kept changing.

The emperor is always right, but the only one who is wrong is his subjects. This matter is destined to be a big storm. The core of the storm is the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Wen Tiren and Qian Qianyi, who presided over the imperial examinations in the north and south!

Qian Qianyi's eyes flashed quickly. At this moment, he wanted to resign. On the one hand, he would become the public enemy of the world, and on the other hand, he would lose his holy heart. Both of them were very difficult, which made him lose his stubbornness and helpless!

In a remote courtyard in the Gongyuan, three tall missionaries with blue eyes and curly hair were negotiating with the guards.

"Why? Why do you imprison us? What kind of kingly law do we violate?" A man on the right asked loudly in broken Chinese.

The guard soldier was from the Governor's Office. He was looking through the booklet in his hand, and he didn't raise his head as if he was reading the book, saying, "First, your pass has expired and cannot stay in the inland. Second, you have contact with some rebels, and we need to investigate. Third, we have sent a message to Macau and are verifying your identity... Except for your freedom restriction, everything else will not be affected. You can write to your relatives and friends, or complain to the Governor's Office. We fully guarantee your power..."

The three of them were naturally led by Johnson Chan, the missionaries of the Holy Roman Empire. They all understood Chinese. It was not a year or two in the Ming Dynasty. Although the people of the Ming Dynasty were always polite and enthusiastic, such high-sounding people still allowed them to see each other, which was unclear.

Chau Wang's expression remained motionless and said with a deep look: "I asked to see His Majesty the Emperor of your country before. I wonder if there is any news?"

Seeing that they did not ask about the question of "detention", the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and secretly cursed that they didn't know which bastard was causing such a troublesome thing.

He still abides by the requirements and said expressionlessly: "I don't know this. If there is any notice, I will tell you that during this period, you will live in this yard. Don't try to escape or use other illegal means to leave. If you are discovered, we have the right to kill on the spot..."

Two tall men on both sides frowned. They were all for the "missionary" matter. The speech of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Shandong a month ago touched them. They had to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, explain their ideas, and make him allow them to preach in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the three of them knew in their hearts that the Holy Roman Empire had been broken and shaky, but the "God's will" had nothing to do with the region and the country. They were still persistent and eager to preach in the Eastern civilization and the vast country and spread the "God's glory".

Johnson Chan was a "China. China Communication". In the Ming Dynasty for many years, although he didn't understand the situation of the Ming Dynasty, he was very clear. It was useless to say more now. He could only wait for them to have nothing to do, but they would lose their freedom before some things ended.

Late at night, at the estuary of the Yangtze River, the torches were like dragons, stretching for several miles, illuminating the small half of the sky.

Twenty large ships were located in the river, arranged neatly, and the soldiers were busy transporting weapons, food, artillery, etc. to the above, nervous and urgent.

These ships are all very large, fifteen meters long and about three meters wide, with nearly one meter of water harvest. They dock quietly in the dark and cold water, with black holes and a daunting hole.

These are ships for transporting canals, not large ships, nor warships. They are considered to be fairly appropriate, and weapons are most suitable for transporting soldiers.

"I would have thought that big warship was here!" A middle-aged man, beside Cao Wenzhao, was wearing ginseng general's armor, looking at the ship on the water, saying with some unsatisfactory words.

Cao Wenzhao looked at the transporting soldiers quietly and said indifferently: "No need."

The middle-aged man named Lai Daosheng and said quickly after hearing this, "What the wise man said is that little Japanese pirates, how can you use slaughtering a ox knife to kill a chicken?"

Lai Daosheng once saw the warship he mentioned. It was suspended at the estuary of the Yangtze River when he moved south from Tianjin Wei. They all went to see it.

It is fifty feet long and about six feet wide. It is really a giant when parked on the water! 7419
