Chapter 172: South China Sea is coming
The devil’s battle against the dagger did not happen, so Yan Dashao declined on the grounds that his army had not yet completed the integration.
Tokugawa Hidetada knew about the Southeast House, and was deeply sorry after being rejected. He said that this promise is valid for a long time!
Everyone parted, the old Japanese man held Yan Changwu's hand and said: "Very well, I hope the friendship between the two countries will last! If you need anything, please let me know."
He said this sincerely. From a geographical point of view, the Southeast Mansion is blocking the sea route of Hong Maofan and has become a barrier to the Shogunate. The friendship between the Southeast Mansion and the Shogunate is developing rapidly. As long as the Southeast Mansion does not fall, once The sea was blocked, the red hair fan board could not pass through the country, and the shogunate was as stable as Mount Tai.
As for the Ming people and Southeast Mansion?
For more than a hundred years, the Japanese people have understood that their homes are not attractive to the rich Ming people. There is some gold and silver, but gold and silver cannot be eaten. In fact, the geographical location of the Japanese country is quite bitter, and there are many local villains. There was a natural disaster and an earth disaster (Kagoshima City is on the side of the volcano), a typhoon passed, and the country's grain harvest failed. Ming people have no interest in Waji.
Southeast House? He hasn't even fully occupied Taiwan, and he can let people go in the past to engage in development. This kind of thing, even thinking about it with his butt, knows that it is impossible.
"Don't worry, your Royal Highness, I will definitely help the shogunate!" Yan Changwu was also sincere and determined. The shogunate's implementation of closed-door retreat was in his arms.
The two bid farewell to each other. Hidetada Tokugawa hopes that Yan Changwu can come often and see him more!
……
"I really feel like dreaming!" Yan Changwu said with emotion.
"Finally, I can go home!" He said relaxedly.
This time out, it has greatly broadened the horizons, so we must summarize and summarize!
……
"I'm back!" Chen Zhongji, CEO of Southeast Mansion, with a smile on his face, led the crowd on the dock to warmly welcome the warlord back to Mansion.
"I'm back!" Yan Changwu nodded to him.
There was a burst of cheers. It turned out that Yan Changwu's two concubines brought two sons to greet her husband. Yan Changwu, one on each side, was very happy.
There was a flood of people on the pier, and people from all walks of life came to welcome their children back home.
The clothes are not as good as the new ones, and the old ones are not as good as the old ones. Although it is good outside, it is comfortable at home!
Yan Changwu can't wait to put on his wings and go home early to rest.
Amidst the loud sounds of gongs and drums, Yan Changwu still has a business to complete.
He presided over the "Sixth Captain Qualification Certificate Class Completion Ceremony" and issued certificates to the newly qualified captains and senior officers.
In this voyage to the north, in fact, each cruise ship was equipped with three groups of senior crew members who were trained in the voyage. They took command of the warship on their behalf and obtained the certificate of induction.
The chief instructor of the Naval Academy Storm was on a cruise ship, and Yan Changwu’s old friend, Mr. David, was also instructing on a cruise ship. Anyway, the instructors and cadets were very busy. Commanders have obtained key qualifications and experience on the ship, and have obtained a certificate of induction, while lower-level commanders have undergone practical training, and crews have gone through internships. The older ones are prepared for further advancement, and the young newcomers are prepared for further advancement. Gained experience.
Not only that, this voyage also opened up the channel and achieved a foothold. Every year in the future, the Southeastern Navy can go to the north for voyage training, which is extremely necessary for the construction of a powerful navy.
"...Achieved excellent results in this long voyage and obtained the captain qualification certificate, congratulations!" General Yan Chang issued the certificate to eight freshly released senior officers, and took the lead in clapping his hands.
There was applause at the scene.
The ceremony is of course not that simple. There are instructors who summarize and summarize, and the newcomers express their opinions and the leaders speak. Anyway, when they come back, it is more than ten in the morning and it ends at noon.
No more dinner parties, all the students disbanded on the spot and let them go home to reunite with their families.
Others can go, but the boss can't go. Yan Changwu had to go to a meeting because he had to understand the military situation.
The Dutch in Batavia (Indonesia) has a move!
In the conference room, Yan Changwu listened to the exchange: Since the summer, the number of Dutch ships in Batavia has been gathering, with or without going out. Even if they go out, they will take short voyages and return soon.
"As of the date of the deadline, the number of Dutch ships in Batavia has reached 42!" Chen Zhongji said solemnly.
This is very unusual. The Dutch who traveled all over the world actually did not have the concept of a "navy fleet" outside of Europe. That is, when needed, merchant ships acted as gunboats, in line with the Dutch's true qualities, and worked as a sea. When he was in business, he became a pirate.
The Dutch are busy in business and will not easily lie in the port. They cannot tolerate the fact that they will not make money in the port.
The number of 42 ships is quite large, and this number is likely to continue to grow.
How many merchant ships (warships~www.wuxiaspot.com~) are enough to block the ports, attack the land, and destroy the fleets of other countries.
What they want to do has to arouse serious suspicion from Southeastern Mansion!
"Any other news?"
"They were collecting materials, artillery, shells, sails, paint, food... and their captains and ships. They didn't know the purpose, and they all cursed for delaying their business."
"What about the other horns?"
"The Portuguese in Macau and the Spanish in the Philippines have not changed. Everything is normal. Besides, there is no change in the boundary of Fujian, but in Guangdong, we found that Li Kuiqi and Liu Xiang have merged, and their ships have mixed together and gathered in Huilai. There are currently over a hundred warships, and the number is still rising!"
Both are pirates. Li Kuiqi and Yan Changwu had a P. They were lost and had to flee Fujian. Liu Xiang was also an acquaintance. He had found someone to assassinate Yan Changwu.
"They are definitely conspiring against me! Can't go wrong, the Dutch have colluded with the pirates!" Yan Changwu categorically said, and he asked the deputy admiral Li Ying: "How about our preparations?"
"At present, all military vacations have been cancelled, training and maintenance are proceeding in an orderly manner, all weapons have been inspected, ships and gun emplacements have been prepared, supplies have been collected, and the militia has strengthened training..." Li Ying It described the preparations for battle, explained in detail the situation of each ship, the situation of each battery and each militia team, as well as logistical supplies.
Fortresses were set up in major ports, and militia teams were prepared in all towns. The guns were kept in peacetime, and guns were used during training (the southeast government banned people from carrying guns)
"Very good!" Yan Changwu stood up and looked at the big port outside the window, where a large number of ships were parked. "The South China Sea is about to come, we let them come and go!"
