A mile outside Humen Wharf, Guangzhou, Guangdong, Commercial Grocery Street.
A group of men in very simple short clothes were sitting in a small shop, and several strong men were shouting to add another plate of fried rice noodles. At the bottom, a middle-aged man with a cold expression sat alone by the small table. After eating the rice noodles, he picked up a bowl and poured all the fried egg porridge in the small bowl into his mouth.
Admiral of the Guangdong Provincial Navy, a second-rank military officer, general leader of the Guangdong Navy, Deng Hailong.
A person who likes to eat some delicious food on the street and often buys gadgets in small street shops to take them home for the children. They have their own children and orphans who have no support in the military camp.
It has been more than a year since I went out to sea. Deng Hailong left this small shop and took a deep breath by the beach.
It was very comfortable to have a salty overseas. Listening to the crew members working hard on the sea in the store shouting about their overseas experiences, Deng Hailong smiled indifferently and walked towards the dock.
Two people wearing fourth-rank military officer uniforms ran, and one of them rushed into the store. This made the crew members who were still bragging stand up nervously. One of them saw Deng Hailong standing not far away, and took two steps to Deng Hailong's side: "Admiral, you have emergency official duties!"
"Admiral, I'm afraid this shop will not come in the future." Deng Hailong smiled helplessly.
He took the official uniform sent by the fourth-rank military officer and put it on his body in a few seconds.
Both the owner of the shop and the crew who brag just now were confused. This inconspicuous uncle, the second-rank military officer uniform, and the title of admiral, represented the first person in the Guangdong Navy in the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Fan Liang also appeared in front of Deng Hailong, bowed and said, "General Deng. Sorry. This is an imperial edict!" After Fan Liang finished speaking, before Deng Hailong could react, he reached out to bring Jin Jie, who was wearing the uniform of a sixth-grade eunuch, to the front. Jin Jie shouted at the top of his voice: "Guangdong Navy Admiral Deng Hailong received the imperial edict!"
There is no incense table, nor is it in the Navy Hall, but it is on the street.
And it was a street preaching with dense crowds? Deng Hailong was confused. Generally, only by catching people would do this.
After a lot of praise, the two little eunuchs raised a jade green lotus high: "Deng Hailong, the imperial concubine, was given the jade green lotus to express his merits in protecting the South China Sea. He was granted the title of the first-rank military position, and was awarded the title of Qinglian Dragon King!"
Deng Hailong, who was kneeling there, raised his hands high and was about to take over the imperial jade green lotus, shook his hands and almost threw the jade to the ground.
In Guangdong, the title of Deng Hailong, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, is circulated among the people, both in the navy and among the people.
But now that he was officially granted a title, it was something that Deng Hailong had never thought about. For a moment, he really thought something was wrong with his ears, but when he saw Fan Liang, Deng Hailong no longer doubted it. He thanked him loudly and then walked towards the Navy's Office with the imperial edict and the jade green lotus.
From then on, there were more than two miles to the Guangdong Navy's yamen, and along the way, people even set off firecrackers.
He also had face and was very heavy. Deng Hailong was not excited, but he was somewhat depressed. He gave him such great benefits, so how do he need to do it next.
After entering the Navy Office, Deng Hailong saw that Yang Neng was already waiting for him here.
Before Deng Hailong came forward to show his salute, Jin Jie shouted again: "The imperial edict is issued! The cabinet's Wenhua Palace Order! The Grand Tutor Yu's Order! The Ministry of War Order!"
This time it was more formal than on the street just now. The imperial edict was not a ritual such as kneeling reception. After adding the cabinet Wenhua Hall, the Grand Tutor Order, and the Ministry of War Order, this is a very formal official document, which requires some records here. Then there is a reply, and the signature of the recipient, etc.
"Please get up, sir. Long live said this time the matter is a bit complicated. Just ask the two to stand and listen. If you want to kneel, you will kneel for too long." After Jin Jie said that, Yang Neng and Deng Hailong thanked him.
Jin Jie took a deep breath, first put the imperial edict aside, then took out a scroll with a lacquer seal: "The Zajia came to Guangdong first, this is a letter of appointment. Wenhua Hall, Yu Taishi, and the Ministry of Personnel jointly issued. He was appointed as the governor of Zhennan, from a first-rank military officer, general in charge of military affairs in Guangdong, Fujian, and Guangxi. He transferred the imperial envoy Wang Ao to the governor of the three provinces, and was responsible for government affairs. The former Fujian Metropolitan Office..."
"Do you want to fight?" Yang Neng asked after taking the decree.
Wang Ao is not in Guangdong now, and he is in Guangxi. Guangxi is different from Guangdong, but it is still a gathering area for ethnic minorities. Wang Ao never thought of using his official power to suppress people, and he still wanted to talk about it.
The chief official received the order, and the two governors from Fujian and Guangxi were deputy positions, so Yang Neng showed them the order again.
Jin Jie shook his head: "Mr. Yang, to be honest, the miscellaneous people don't know, and even if they know, they dare not say it. When we went out, Lord Bai specially asked someone to come over and explain it. You have to say what you can say clearly, and you can't say a word you can't say. It's not the time now, so it won't make people guess wrong."
"It's reasonable, but..." Yang Neng didn't say this, probably Bai Minghe's explanation would not be without reason.
After taking out the second scroll, Jin Jie said again: "Mr. Yang, this one is written by Long Live. Tianyinji, each prefecture, prefecture, county, garage, thousand household offices, and docks must be provided within half a year. Of course, Lord Yang, you arrange for someone to go to Nanjing to collect the things. How to use them and how to protect these things? Someone in Nanjing will take care of them!"
"This thing is good, it's a good thing!" Yang Neng also hopes that Tianyin can be equipped with more.
"This is not over yet. Long live and I'll explain it. Within a year, each fleet must have at least three ships equipped with a sky musical machine. It is very useful at critical moments. Nanjing Shipyard has a new ship named Qinglian Dragon King, which is equipped with a high-powered one, known as a sky musical sound thousands of miles away from the sea. This matter is probably going to be a pain for General Deng. Even if you are not on the ship, you have to arrange a trustworthy person on the ship. If this ship does not enter the port, you will cruise the South China Sea!"
Deng Hailong nodded silently, it seemed that there was a big move.
The third scroll was taken out.
"Mr. Yang, Long live has approved the construction of a city in Temasek. General Fan is the first city guard. You are responsible for the logistics. As for how much you can lose in the military expenditure, Lord Bai only said that he was brave and starved to death. After hearing this, you will understand everything."
Jin Jie didn't explain anymore, and Yang Neng didn't need Jin Jie to explain.
Bai Minghe has a thug with enough experience. It doesn’t need to be said that Bai Fu is at the level of instructor. Bai Fu is the level of the battle to destroy the country. Apart from this Bai Fu, Fan Liang is definitely the first person. Yang Xin and Yang Yi brothers are young and have insufficient experience, so they can’t stand up for the big things.
Call it Fan Liang, then Yang Neng can probably guess the layout on the chessboard.
Deng Hailong asked at this time: "If you encounter a water battle, should you go to war or expel?"
The fourth scroll was taken out.
"General Deng, whether the navy trained by Mo Long can be used and how useful it is depends on your opinion. Long live to transfer a fleet to seal the Malujia Haikou. Mo Long is on the wing, and you are always a supporter."
"Who?" Deng Hailong asked this, and he also thought about all the naval generals of the Ming Dynasty in his mind. Whose ability is strong, the characteristics of that fleet, etc., and so on. Deng Hailong did not doubt the strength of each fleet, but could see from the selection of the fleet that this plan was really similar.
Jin Jie did not answer, but opened the scroll and pointed it on it.
Deng Hailong knew his writing and was very good at writing. The official document was written in regular script, which was clearly written. However, Deng Hailong stared at it for a long time before he silently rolled up the scroll.
After watching it, Deng Hailong said in Yang Neng's ear: "Mr. Yang, the fleet transferred to Maluojia is Shagara! Remember not to spread it outside, I guess this secret move is very deep!"
When he heard the word "Shagala", Yang Neng, a veteran general who had been leading troops for many years and had more experienced thoughts than Deng Hailong. Deng Hailong is one of the best commanders in naval battles. But Yang Neng is a very excellent strategist and a person with the ability of a marshal. When he heard aboutShagala, his first reaction was that the court's layout was very long.
If you want to talk about the Ming Navy, which one has the strongest combat power, I guess no one will accept anyone.
But if we want to say that the one who sticks the most blood, the most ruthless, and has the greatest power in the past two years, is Shagara.
A group of girls killed everyone in the northern part of the island of Japan. Even the major names in Japan did not dare to challenge the group of girls at sea. Those who dared to challenge the fish have become food for fish in the sea.
However, the generals of the Ming Navy also understood that if a group of girls is not ruthless, they will be really underestimated. It will be easy for people to bully them. Only when they are ruthless can they protect themselves and gain a foothold in the northern part of the Japanese island. If they dare not kill, they will not dare to leave them in the northern part of the Japanese island.
If they dare not kill, they are afraid that many generals from the navy will persuade them to kill, or even kill them for them.
Of course, more importantly, the Shagala does not belong to the Ming Navy sequence, but a pirate without a number!
"They, there are not enough ships!" Deng Hailong also knew how many ships Shagala had. The most important thing was that the Ming Dynasty could not give up the sea power in the northern part of the Japanese island, so it was the limit to be able to transfer ten ships from the Japanese island. It was very difficult for this army to increase, because it was difficult to choose the crew.
Even if you want to go, you can't get on the boat without any ability, and you can't take care of it anymore.
Jin Jie shook his head: "I don't know about this miscellaneous family. I think someone will arrange it. General Deng, there is also the last warrant here, which was signed by Taishi Yu."
Jin Jie took out the last scroll.
Deng Hailong didn't take this part seriously. The content of this part was that Yu Qian asked the Guangdong Navy to find out all the seaside piers in Nan'an, regardless of the details of the piers of large and small.
Why Deng Hailong didn't take it seriously? Because he was already working, basically, there are detailed records of how many boats there are in the large and small docks of Annan, what kind of water is the dock, what type of ship can directly penetrate into the Ming Dynasty, etc. It can be said that since a year ago, Guangdong has believed that it must be attacked by Annan.
