Ma Shiying nodded and asked: "How many firearms are there?"
Yan Siqi said sheepishly: "There are probably more than two hundred firecrackers, all of which are matchlock guns."
Ma Shiying said: "Then what you just said did not include General Zhang's ship."
Yan Siqi nodded, and Zhang Qianfang said: "The Guards Navy has fifteen ships, and each ship has fifty sailors, all holding flintlock cannons, and the ships are equipped with six-pound cannons, nine-jin cannons, or ten-pound cannons."
"Two pounds of cannon."
Ma Shiying nodded and couldn't help but look at Zhang Qianfang again.
He has so many personnel and weapons, and Yan Siqi has to ask the court for help if he wants to get only a hundred flintlock guns.
This shows that he is indeed loyal to the emperor and has never thought of using what he has in his hands to make friends with Yan Siqi.
Ma Shiying signaled to Wu Mengming, and Wu Mengming said: "The four newly built blessing ships should arrive in Quanzhou within a month.
Each ship is equipped with fifteen-jin cannons and twenty-four-jin cannons, and can carry five hundred soldiers, but the soldiers are not If it is fully equipped, it only has a basic one hundred sailors.
If it is used for artillery battles, there will be no problem.
However, for gang-hopping operations, soldiers will be needed. " Yan Siqi asked: "How deep is the draft of the lucky boat and how high is the side?"
Wu Mengming said: "The draft is twelve feet, and the side height can be up to three feet."
Yan Siqi smiled: "Then there is no need to worry about jumping into gangs to fight.
The Japanese have no way of jumping onto the lucky ship."
Ma Shiying said: "Five thousand army troops can follow the Fuchuan to Quanzhou.
The accompanying sandships cannot sail as far as Japan, so Governor Yan needs to arrange the ships."
Yan Siqi smiled heartily: "Let General Zhang's ship be responsible for the transportation.
We are all from the Guards, so communication should be easier."
Ma Shiying said: "I looked at the map and found that there is a big island very close to Japan.
This is it.
What is the island called?
Is it ours?"
Yan Siqi said: "That is Jeju Island.
It was originally occupied by the Yuan Dynasty.
Later, the Yuan Dynasty was defeated by us, and the Koreans occupied the island and established Daejing and Jingyi counties in Jeju Munei."
Wu Mengming shouted: "That place was originally ours, how could it be occupied by North Korea?
We have to take it back.
It can be used as a stronghold to attack Japan."
Ma Shiying was silent.
Before leaving, the emperor talked to him and let him know that Zhu Youxiao would definitely support the occupation of Jeju Island, but he could not use the Ming army to occupy it.
North Korea had always been very obedient and would cry when paying tribute. , but it doesn’t end well.
Yan Siqi looked at Ma Shiying and asked tentatively: "If we pretend to be pirates, occupy the entire island, and then massacre everyone on the island, I don't know what the imperial envoy will think."
Ma Shiying asked back: "Why do we have to massacre this?
The emperor won't like this kind of thing happening.
However, you can try pretending to be a pirate to seize the island.
Seize this stronghold before attacking Japan.
This is a big deal.
You guys first Get ready, I will give the emperor a deal, and as long as the emperor agrees, we will act immediately. " When Ma Shiying's secret notes reached the capital, Zhu Youxiao's first child was born.
Duan Ying gave birth to a daughter, feeling both unwilling and happy.
Zhu Youxiao liked it very much.
Looking at that little meatball, he was filled with a novel feeling.
This was the person he was closest to in the world.
This was his greatest creation in the world.
He stretched out his hand to hug him.

Yan said: "Your Majesty, please be careful."
He smiled and picked up the little man skillfully.
The three girls next to him were stunned.
Where did the emperor learn to hold a child at such a young age?
But I don’t know that in his previous life, he could already do it skillfully when he was ten years old.
Holding my sister in my arms.
Looking at his daughter who was sleeping soundly, Zhu Youxiao's heart was filled with warmth.
For the sake of this cute little guy and her younger brothers and sisters, I have to work hard and build a big business for them so that they can live an elegant and dignified life.
He put the little guy back to Duan Ying and said: "You should have a good rest.
Although you are in good health, you should also pay attention to warmth and nutrition.
Ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some prescriptions.
The child needs to eat from you.
Don't use a wet nurse.
This It will be good for both of your bodies."
Keshi smiled and said: "Brother, if you eat my milk, won't you grow strong and strong?"
Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Nanny, it is of great benefit to the mother for a child to eat her mother's milk, and colostrum is also very good for the child.
The wet nurse is different from them.
My good health is all due to the wet nurse."
The three girls also laughed together and talked about the benefits of the Hakka family.
Indeed, Hakka not only wakes Zhu Youxiao up on time every day and prepares toiletries for him, but also always cares for the three girls.
Especially Zhang Yan and Duan Ying, who were pregnant, watched closely, fearing that something would happen to them if they were ignorant.
Wang Wan sometimes laughed and complained that even the wet nurse didn't care about her because she was not pregnant.
Zhu Youxiao also gave some instructions.
He actually didn't know much, but it was just about air circulation, keeping warm and preventing frostbite, etc.
He was coaxed out by the three women and Hakka.
In Hakka's words, you are still a child yourself, do you know how to take care of a child?
Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly and walked out of the room, and Wei Zhongxian handed Ma Shiying's memorial to him.
After Zhu Youxiao saw it, he ordered to go to Gongji City.
Routine drills were going on in Gongji City.
Zhu Youxiao called Lu Qin and others to the strategy room and found Jeju Island on the map.
Lu Qin said: "From the map, this island is very close to North Korea and Japan.
I think it must be in our hands no matter what."
Man Gui had been idle for too long and felt very depressed.
He pointed at the map and said: "Going to that place over here is also very important for horses.
I think we should also capture it."
Zhou Yuji was not as violent as the two of them.
He said: "Your Majesty, if you want to defeat Hirado, this place can indeed be used as a base as your Majesty once said.
But now that North Korea has occupied it, using piracy methods is not a long-term solution." " Zhu Youxiao said: "Yes, I do want this place, but it's really not easy to explain.
I have to think of a way."
Man Gui said: "Your Majesty, we can only be responsible for fighting.
If you want to create any conspiracy, you should ask the ministers in the court.
They are much more familiar with this kind of thing than us."
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "You are not speaking rudely.
I am just asking you if it is useful to occupy this place.
For other matters, I really need to ask the ministers for advice."

After the morning session the next day, Zhu Youxiao left his cabinet ministers and six ministers behind.
He took out Ma Shiying's memorial and ordered someone to bring a map and said: "I asked the generals and they thought it would be of great benefit to capture this island." , Now we need the ministers to figure out a way to acquire this island without hampering our relations with North Korea
