Chapter 289 South Sea Fleet

In the Woxin Hall, important ministers gathered together.

There are nine people in total, including Zhang Bu, Xiang Yu, Li Xuance, and Zhao Cunxiao.

The commander of the East Palace Young Army is Wang Yue, the commander is Tongzhi Chen Qi, Li Jiu, and the commander is Zhao Er.

Fan Derbiao, the commander of Huilong Camp.

Xie Wan, the Minister of Hubu, and Chen Lan, the Minister of Punishment of the puppet dynasty.

The atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Half a month has passed, Taiwan has been reorganized, and the military and civilians have resumed production. His Highness will leave for Beijing tomorrow. Today, he summoned everyone to the Woxin Hall, obviously to issue an order on who will be stationed in Taiwan.

To be honest, not many people want to stay in Taiwan.

Zhu Jianji also knew what these people were thinking.

A headache to choose.

Xie Wan must go back to Gyeonggi Province. He is working hard just to show his ambition in the court. Otherwise, if he has power and money in Taiwan, why would he need to be an undercover agent?

The senior generals of the three major capitals were even more unwilling to stay in Taiwan.

The only candidate is Fan Der Biao.

But at that time, Fan Derbiao was also promised a ten-year period. After that, Fan Derbiao was allowed to return to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he could not break his promise.

It is even more impossible for Wang Yue to stay in Taiwan.

Zhu Jianji coughed and said, "I have issued an order, ordering the Guangxi Dusi to take the initiative to attack the Annan army outside the border. Everyone in the Guangdong Dusi, go and reorganize your troops. In the afternoon, you will return to Guangdong and reinforce Guangxi as appropriate."

Annan wants to take advantage of troubled waters?

Did Ming Dynasty not dare to fight on three fronts?

Thinking too much!

Taiwan is completely vulnerable. On the Mobei side, the regimental battalion and the 26th Guards can be deployed, and the Ming Dynasty's southern capital can reinforce Guangxi without any scruples.

Li Sicheng has to pay the price for his ambition.

Of course, the current national power of the Ming Dynasty is not yet able to rule Annan. After all, Annan is at its peak during this period. Therefore, with the support of the Yunnan Prince Mu Palace, the Guangxi Dusi only needs to beat Annan painfully and ask the Guangdong Dusi navy to rush back for reinforcements, which is also to prevent

just in case.

Ming Dynasty cannot be defeated.

The three major governors came to Taiwan this time, and only one of the top officials was left, the commander-in-chief, Tongzhi, and the commander-in-chief, so the people from the Guangdong governor's office had to go back as soon as possible.

The three people from Guangdong Dusi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Jianji looked at the three senior generals from Fujian and Zhejiang and secretly shook his head.

These people...

It is also difficult to hold a big responsibility.

After a moment of silence, his eyes fell on Fan Der Biao.

Fan Derbiao's head hurts.

He wants to return to Gyeonggi.

Weakly said: "How about I stay in Taiwan for a year or two and help His Highness share your worries?"

There is no other way.

He did not have the background of a high-ranking official like those in the three major capitals, so he did not dare to offend His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhu Jianji thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this, Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu. From today on, you two will serve as the commanders of Huilong Camp. Tongzhi, Fan Debiao, you will be stationed in Taiwan for another six months. When Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu can take charge of their own affairs,

When the time comes, I will transfer you back to Gyeonggi."

The three people immediately accepted the order.

When Xie Wan saw this, she was secretly amused.

A bunch of fools were fooled around by His Highness the Crown Prince.

From the very beginning, His Highness the Crown Prince never thought of handing over Taiwan to the three major governors. How could His Highness hand over Taiwan, a treasured land of geomantic omen, to the three major governors? How could His Highness have accumulated more than 50 million taels of wealth without seeing the Baozong in eight years?

However, there are still sporadic pirates in the nearby waters.

After some more operations, I can get hundreds of millions of taels of silver, which is a relaxing and enjoyable thing.

And the Ming Dynasty has now opened the sea.

To ensure the safety of maritime trade, Taiwan's naval force is indispensable.

Therefore, His Highness's original intention was to control Taiwan in his hands, with the Crown Prince's confidants Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu controlling the troops. Moreover, these two people were eunuchs, so His Highness the Crown Prince did not have to worry about them becoming powerful.

But Fan Derbiao really wants to stay.

Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu were not familiar with naval warfare, so Fan Derbiao still had to teach them.

Zhu Jianji added: "The Taiwan Council will establish the Taiwan Recognition and Prosecution Service, and the officials will be promoted from the local area. As the Chief Secretary, I plan to appoint Chen Lan, the Minister of Punishment of the puppet dynasty. Do you have any suggestions?"

Chen Lan quickly thanked him.

He never dreamed that he would be here today. Although Chen Lan came from a noble family, he had no hope of taking the imperial examination, so he was responsible for maritime trade matters for the family. As a result, he was kidnapped and taken to Taiwan, and he became a traitor involuntarily.

Unexpectedly, he would turn around and become a blessing in disguise, becoming a frontier official in the Ming Dynasty.

Um……

Although Taiwan's chief secretaries are definitely not as good as those from other places, how can they still have a third or fourth rank?

This was a high-ranking official that he could not even imagine.

Among the Chen clan members in Fujian, Chen Lan's official position suddenly became the highest.

The rest of the people naturally have no objections.

There are only a few civil servants...and generals who don't care about you.

Seeing that there was no objection, Zhu Jianji said: "Zhang Bu, Xiang Yu, Chen Lan, Fan Debiao, and Xie Wan will stay, and the rest of the Qing family will retreat. The young army can prepare to withdraw, and the Fujian and Zhejiang governors must also prepare their squadrons."

, Guangdong Dusi, please set off as soon as possible, so as not to delay the war in Guangxi."

Everyone accepted the order and resigned.

After the other ministers had retired, Zhu Jianji said to Chen Lan: "Taiwan admits that the Chief Secretary is the same as other places, and the Chief Secretary's position starts from the second rank. However, in Taiwan, only Kaohsiung is considered a vibrant city, and the other areas are barren lands, and

The population of Kaohsiung is only 200,000, so the Chief Secretary’s office staff should be as streamlined as possible. According to the county government regulations, after you finalize the list of Chief Secretary officials, send it to the capital for approval."

Chen Lan received the order.

Zhu Jianji then said to Fan Debiao, Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu: "Your tasks are more important, Fan Debiao, although Gu said that he would only keep you in Taiwan for half a year, but within half a year, if Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu will not be able to fully control Huilong Camp, or maybe

If these two people still cannot become qualified naval generals, you will have to stay alone in Taiwan!"

How dare Fan Derbiao say no?

Zhu Jianji then said to Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu: "Zhao Mu and Bai Qingzhi are in charge of the Zhenbei Army. They will be the main force of Ming Dynasty's westward expansion in the future. However, I value sea power more, so you two have greater responsibilities."

According to Zhao Mu and Bai Qingzhi, the Ministry of War has established a navy, but various matters have not been advanced yet. After Gu returns to Gyeonggi, Huilong Camp will be allocated to the navy, and it will initially be named the South China Sea Fleet, which will not be affiliated with it.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, you two must use Huilong Camp as the basis to vigorously improve naval combat capabilities so that Huilong Camp can match the strength of a fleet. In addition, do not expand wooden warships excessively. The existing warships are enough.

, just wait for the Dengzhou Shipyard to equip you with new warships. During the period of garrison in Taiwan, I don’t have any extra money to give you, so you need to find the money yourself, do you understand?"

How to find money?

Pirates and Japanese pirates, they have money.

Zhu Jianji took a deep breath and added: "At present, Taiwan does not demonstrate its strategic status, but in the next few decades or hundreds of years, Taiwan will definitely become one of the most important bases of the Ming Navy. Therefore, Zhang Bu Xiangyu, the South China Sea Fleet

The future lies entirely in your hands!"

Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu were excited, "I will live up to His Highness's trust!"

This pie is painted...

Even Fan Debiao was tempted and wondered whether he should stay in Taiwan for a long time.

But he also knew it was impossible.

It is impossible for His Highness to let him become the chief officer of the South China Sea Fleet.
