The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1229: Foreshadowing

Nowadays, they are engaged in large-scale development. Cantonese people emphasize practical benefits, value Zhao Gongming more than Confucius, and refuse to study. According to Ming scholars, there are not many talents.

But there are really talents, such as Chen Zizhuang.

Chen Zizhuang was born in the old house of Gaoritang in Jiuyaofang, Guangzhou. He is an out-and-out Cantonese. He is a young and intelligent child who is a "seven-year-old prodigy".

One year when the moonlight could not be seen during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a guest attending a banquet at Chen's house was quite regretful, so he chanted two ancient poems: "What is God's will tonight, don't put the silver lantern on the blue wave". After hearing this, Chen Zizhuang, who was only seven years old, responded casually: "When I visit Shangyuan next year, I will ask Chang'e for the reason."

Sure enough, in the thirty-ninth year of Wanli (1611), when Chen Zizhuang was 16 years old, he tried Guanyi disciples at the age of sixteen.

In the forty-third year of Wanli (1615), Chen Zizhuang was 20 years old and ranked eighth in the provincial examination.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli (1619), Chen Zizhuang was listed in Huang Jia in the Beijing News. He was a scholar and won the third place in the first class (Thanhua and No. 1) in the palace examination. He was 24 years old and was awarded the Hanlin Academy. Edit!

In ancient times, it was not easy to recruit talents, and it was even more difficult to recruit talents, and it was even more difficult to recruit scholars. Many scholars couldn't get a talent after studying hard.

But for Xueba, it's as easy to get a talented person and get a scholarship all the way.

During the Chongzhen reign, he was tired of moving to a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Rites, and was later deposed to his hometown because of his outspoken words. After that, he was voted into the Southeast Mansion. He is now a high-ranking official at the cabinet level in the Southeast and is widely used.

Chen Zisheng is the younger brother of Chen Zizhuang, whose name is Qiaosheng, born in the forty-second year of Wanli Ming Dynasty (1614). He is "good at drums and qin, capable of Wu, nine palaces and thirteen tunes, and the best tunes." works.

He lives in the provincial capital of Guangzhou and serves as his mother. He calls music friends to sing and sings. He is a career in promoting folk culture and is not an official.

This person often goes to Southeast Asia. He is a staunch fan of the Southeast and a columnist for the "Guangzhou Daily". He brags about the environment, society, and economy there, and vigorously promotes people to emigrate, and he really encourages many people to go to the southeast.

If it weren't for his mother's refusal to go to Southeast Asia to provide for the elderly, I'm afraid he would be happy in Southeast Asia.

There must be a reason for coming to worship this time, so Chen Minwu invited him to meet.

When Chen Zisheng entered, he was a civilian and his clothes were restricted. He was wearing a green Buddha-headed Qiuluo robe, a black velvet square scarf, red shoes and silk socks, adding a sense of elegance to his body.

Many aspects of Xinming’s restructuring have been changed, but there are also many aspects that have not been touched. There are still restrictions on the clothing of officials and people. The Taoist gown is very elegant, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wears it. For example, the Wanli Emperor likes to wear the Taoist gown most, usually in the palace. Do not wear dragon robes to wear Tao robes, anyway, there are many wonderful works of Emperor Ming.

They are weird,

Chen Zisheng is 40 years old, strong and full of high spirits. He politely said: "Zisheng has seen the Governor-General!"

Only when the Xinming system was changed to the royal family did you need to kneel, so Zisheng's ritual conforms to the ritual system.

The position of the governor is not trivial when it comes to office. Chen Minwu sits still, waving his hand, and shouting his words: "Qiao Sheng, please sit down!"

After he took his seat, Chen Minwu cordially said: "Qiao Sheng is here, is there something important?"

"Don't dare!" Chen Zisheng respectfully replied: "I saw a post on the road when I was born late. Don't dare to neglect, I'm here to see the Governor!"

He took out a post, and after Chen Minwu took it, he saw that it was the essay sent by Master Ding Yongxin to ask for a thief. He was surprised: "I have seen this post, do you have it everywhere?"

"Your Excellency is well informed!" Chen Zisheng handed his hands, filled with outrage: "It was Zisheng picked up on the road, and I saw one or two from time to time!"

Chen Minwu's face became serious, and he cursed: "The rebels dare to be rampant so far!"

In front of Chen Zisheng, Chen Minwu urgently summoned the officials of the Governor's Mansion. He immediately knew about the Guangzhou Mansion. He used the guards to take to the streets during the day and curfew at night. If there is any illegal act, he will be locked up!

After the subordinates left, Chen Zisheng praised and said: "The Governor-General understands the righteousness, and Zisheng worships and obeys!"

Then he asked: "Zi Sheng courageously, I heard that something big has happened in the Huanghuagang camp outside the city. The barracks are under martial law. I don't know what the situation is?"

Chen Minwu didn't hide it from him, and Chen Zisheng was shocked when he said about the general camp!

This is equivalent to killing all the senior officers of the Ming army in the Guangzhou area. How else can we fight this battle!

These high-ranking officers are the commanders of the infantry and artillery army, as well as the commanders of the Guangdong Navy and the Jiangfang Fleet. The officers of the Navy and the Jiangfang Fleet have been beaten by others and suffered heavy losses. They have been rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. They are simply a small version of "civil engineering". Fort change"!

"There is no warrior in the army. The pseudo-King Gui is imminent. The old man is in a state of confusion and does not know what to do!" Chen Minwu asked, "Qiao Sheng has a good plan?"

It's not indiscriminate. He knows that Chen Zisheng is smart and has inextricable relations with the Southeastern State, and he may have a good strategy.

This question is right, Chen Zisheng calmly said: "Does the Governor forget the'Guangdong Ocean Fleet'?"

With a word awakened the dreamer, Chen Minwu shot the case and said: "Yes, I am looking for them!"

No wonder he didn't think of this at first, because the Guangdong Ocean Fleet was not under his control.

The origin of this fleet is that the former civil servant Xiong Moumou used the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to guard against smuggling, naval bandits, and red barbarians in the name of anti-smuggling, anti-sea bandit, and anti-hongyi to establish the "Guangdong Far Sea Fleet" directly under the Governor's Yamen: awarded A certain village chief in Taiwan, with the title of "Guangdong Coast Defence Guerrilla", is mainly used for the defense of far seas, and the coastal waters are still under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Navy.

For the establishment of this fleet, the Guangdong side did not have a copper plate, nor did it take care of this fleet. It is actually a detachment fleet of the Southeast Fleet. Its station is on Wailingding Island outside the Pearl River Estuary, and it has not changed.

Even if Xinming is established, the Guangdong Far-Sea Fleet will only take orders from the Southeast, not under the jurisdiction of the Xinming Ministry of War.

Its source of troops and salaries all come from the southeast, and only Zhu Zhenzhen in the palace can command it in Xinming. She is the southeast king woman to control the Guangdong Ocean Fleet, not as the princess Daming!

This is a fleet that specializes in controlling the southeast coast of Xinming!

Even in the southeastern countries, some people think that the cost is too much and propose abolition. Now it seems that it is really a thousand days to raise troops, and it will take a while!

Although not under the supervision of the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, Chen Minwu can ask them for help in an emergency.

Chen Minwu said excitedly: "The Guangdong Ocean Fleet has battleships and frigates that can block off the coast of Guangdong, and frigates can enter the Xijiang to fight. In addition to fleet commanders, there are also marines. Some senior officers are!"

"Not only that, the Marine Corps is a low-ranking and high-ranking team. There are many officers and non-commissioned officers. You can expand your army at once!" He got more and more excited, and stood up and said, "Tomorrow will be successful, and Qiaosheng will be successful!"

"Don't be it, don't be it, it's all the Governor's strategizing and turning the tide, worthy of being a pillar of the South!" Chen Zisheng quickly stood up and complimented him, with great courtesy!

Chen Minwu's face turned gloomy suddenly, he raised his hand and said: "Qiao Sheng, please sit down, I have something to ask Qiao Sheng for help!"
