Chapter 405: Wei Qing and Huo Quai, of the Ming Dynasty


The problem of Japanese pirates no longer simply threatens the stability of the Ming Dynasty's maritime borders, but is related to the stability of the entire maritime trade order of the Ming Dynasty.

This became particularly obvious after the Holy Emperor issued an order to fully lift the sea ban.

You must know that even if Fujian is not included, the imperial court can earn more than 5 million taels of silver from sea tax alone on the entire southeast coast.

This is still calculated by the conservative method adopted by the imperial court.

If the imperial court optimizes tax rates in the future and obtains actual tax rights from Fujian, it will not be a problem to achieve a sea tax revenue of 10 million taels a year.

With these ten million taels of silver, the court can not only maintain its huge military expenditures but also make a surplus, which is the best thing for the Ming Dynasty today.

But this beautiful situation may be ruined due to the rampage of Japanese pirates.

If all maritime merchants are obsessed with smuggling, who will provide tax revenue to the court?

Therefore, Japanese pirates must be eradicated and smuggling must be combated.

The victory of Ye Boar Island can be seen as a clear statement by the court, which is bound to kill the unhealthy trend of smuggling.

And Zhang Kentang also fully realized Zheng Chenggong's ability through this victory.

At first, Kentang Zhang only thought that Zheng Chenggong was the son-in-law of Zheng Zhilong.

But later he found out that he was wrong.

Zheng Chenggong showed great tenacity and hard work.

Had it not been for the news that Zheng Zhilong had secretly communicated with Donglu, Zhang Kentang would have even wanted to betroth his youngest daughter to Zheng Chenggong.

But then the situation suddenly changed.

Even so, Kentang Zhang admired Zheng Chenggong in his heart.

Later, Emperor Sheng expressed his trust in Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong returned to Denglai Navy.

But until now, Zhang Kentang still did not think that Zheng Chenggong was the kind of person who could make the army win by himself.

This is not because he is biased against Zheng Chenggong.

It's because Zheng Chenggong is too young.

Youth itself is certainly not a disadvantage, but the price of youth is inexperience.

This is not yet reflected in downwind battles, but it is often fully reflected in adversity.

But Zheng Chenggong proved that Kentang Chang was wrong, and very wrong.

During the entire attack on Buffalo Island, Zheng Chenggong showed a calmness that was completely inconsistent with his age.

This is very valuable.

Look at Wei Qing, look at Huo Qubing, look at those generals who became famous at a young age in history, all of them are calm and calm with a big heart.

Calmness is the most important quality to become a famous general.

Zheng Chenggong has it, so he has the possibility to become a famous general.

Maybe now it seems that Zheng Chenggong is still a little immature in some aspects, and there is still a gap between him and famous generals like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, but who can be sure of what will happen in the future?

After all, Zheng Chenggong is still young, and youth has unlimited possibilities.

It is impossible for anyone to characterize Zheng Chenggong right now.

He can grow and become better at any time.

The famous general may not have the strongest combat effectiveness, nor may he have the highest force value, but the famous general can change the situation and lead the army to victory.

Zheng Chenggong is such a handsome man, and Kentang Zhang is somewhat glad that he serves under him.

In time, when people mention Zheng Chenggong, they will also mention that he left Denglai Town.

Then he, the governor of Denglai, is Zheng Chenggong’s well-deserved Bole, right?

Of course, the biggest bole must be the Holy Emperor, and Zhang Kentang does not dare to fight for it.

But apart from that, Zheng Chenggong should also thank him, Zhang Kentang, right?

As for other civil and military officials, they should be envious of him Kentang Zhang.

Alas, Kentang Zhang now actually feels that it is Zheng Zhilong, the father, who is dragging Zheng Chenggong down.

If not, Zheng Chenggong's current situation might be better.

After all, even if Zheng Chenggong had the support of the emperor, there would still be rumors.

And rumors are the most hurtful and terrifying.

What's even more frightening is that the imperial censors and officials of this dynasty still have the power to report things based on rumors.

They can invent an unfounded crime for their own reputation, and then pin it on your head without any reason.

You have no temper at all.

Of course such people are disgusting, but you have no choice but to kill them all.

It seems that the emperor was right to keep Zheng Chenggong away from Nanjing.

Staying away from the capital means staying away from the place of right and wrong.

No matter how venomous or venomous those censors were, they could not affect Zheng Chenggong who was thousands of miles away.

As long as Zheng Chenggong can grow and develop calmly without being affected by the outside world, sooner or later he can grow into a famous general like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Then let yourself be the one who protects his growth.

Kentang Zhang said secretly.

"Brother Sanshui, why does this Japanese ship look different from our ship?

It's weird."

In Dengzhou Shuicheng, a new recruit He Shitou asked while scratching his head.

Liu Sanshui smiled and said: "Otherwise, it is a Japanese ship.

I would say that the Japanese pirates have a small family spirit in their bones.

This small family spirit cannot be changed.

Look, this Japanese ship, which is known as the largest, is no bigger than ours.

It's as big as a "Fu" boat.

It probably doesn't have as much water as a small "Fu boat."

He paused for a moment and then continued: "But Japanese ships also have their advantages."

He Shitou was stunned for a moment and asked repeatedly: "What's the benefit?"

Liu Sanshui coughed and said, "The good thing is that we don't need to build this boat.

The Japanese pirates built it and gave it to us, so we can use it."

"puff" He Shitou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh, Brother Sanshui, are you trying to laugh me to death?"

Liu Sanshui spread his hands and said, "Tell me what I said wrong."

"Yes, everything you said is right."

He Shitou suppressed his smile and said: "So, our victory at Bison Island is really good.

We must have taken over a hundred ships alone."

"Don't say robbery, it's seizure.

Do you understand the seizure?"

Before He Shitou could finish speaking, Liu Sanshui interrupted: "We are naval officers and soldiers, a regular army.

How can we say that we have robbed a Japanese pirate ship after we captured it?"

He Shitou suddenly realized it and said repeatedly: "Oh, I was wrong."

Liu Sanshui stepped forward and patted He Shitou on the shoulder and said: "You guys have caught up with the good times.

When I first joined the army, the entire Ming Dynasty except Fujian could not get together a hundred ships of this size.

His Majesty the Emperor In anger, he ordered the Longjiang Shipyard to speed up the production and all the necessary expenses would be funded from internal funds. " "But I heard that the money in the internal funds is His Majesty the Emperor's private money.

How could he be willing to part with it?"

"What's wrong with private money?

Today's emperor is a sage, and he doesn't care about the distinction.

If you want to strengthen the country, you must strengthen the army.

If the navy is not sharp, what if the Tatars imitate the Japanese pirates and attack from the sea?

Besides, you think those civil servants are fuel-efficient lamps.

If you want To allocate money from the treasury, they have to resort to admonition, saying that you are wasting money and people.”

Liu Sanshui spitted and said angrily
