While the war on the grasslands in western Liaoning was in full swing, Zhu Youxiao continued to move southward on the sea. The cement ship modified with a wind turbine is indeed much faster than the Galen ship in the West. Once the power is fully turned on, it is about half times faster than the Galen ship. Of course, this time limit can only be a quarter of an hour at most. time. There is nothing to do at sea. Zhu Youxiao once measured that he could catch up with Galen's ship within five miles. This boat speed is so exciting. Life at sea really makes people feel comfortable. If nothing else, just the blue sky and blue sea can make people feel relaxed and happy. The sailors in the fleet each performed their duties, and Zhu Youxiao had a rare leisure time during this period. At night, Zhu Youxiao kept recording on the gramophone, took it back to Zhang Yan, put it on the bedside, and tried to wake her up. Of course, this is just my wishful thinking. No one can say how likely a vegetative person is to wake up. Just do your best and let fate dictate! Zhu Youxiao plans to wait until the Japanese strategy is completed, then he will spend as much time with Zhang Yan as possible. If he can wake up, he will wake up. If he cannot wake up, he will stay with her for the rest of his life. During the day, in order to prevent himself from thinking about Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao started various activities of his own. In addition to flying Bai Shan, Zhu Youxiao is also obsessed with sea fishing. Sea fishing can be said to be a money-burning sport. It is one of the four noble sports along with golf, equestrian and tennis and is very popular. Sea fishing was Zhu Youxiao's first attempt. Let alone the sea, he had never fished in a lake or reservoir. However, with the help of sailors, he learned a fishing method - drift fishing, which is on a boat. , regardless of how fast the boat is going, just drift with the current, and the bait and hooks are also drifting in the water, attracting fish to take the bait. This method is really too simple. Live bait is generally used as bait, such as small fish, shrimps, loaches, etc., which are all obtained by fishing with nets. Not lacking at all. Just put the bait on the hook, no fishing rod at all, just a wooden reel, throw it into the sea with the hook and line, and wait. Saltwater fish are more ferocious than freshwater fish. They bite as soon as they see the bait. They are a complete fool! Not as cunning as freshwater fish. As long as the line moves, it means that a fish has taken the bait, so just reel in the fish immediately. Hairtail, small yellow croaker, and moray eel are all so cheap, and the little guy enjoys eating them. When passing through Japan, Zhu Youxiao did not stop, not because he wanted to show mercy to Japan, but now is not the time, and the Japanese strategy must be launched. According to Zhu Youxiao's view, in this world, no one can be let go. Over the Japs. Not to mention the many wars of aggression against China in later generations, as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, Japan has enough ways to kill itself. The Japanese pirates invaded the Ming Dynasty, causing suffering to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many Han scum. Acting as lackeys, or even pretending to be Japanese pirates to rob the people of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the Ming Taizu's "no one is allowed to enter the sea" ban was formed, which directly allowed China to only have official access to the sea, while private individuals were banned, which led to the Ming Dynasty's national isolation policy, and the consequences were unimaginable. There was another invasion of North Korea, and Shenzong's three major expeditions directly defeated the Ming army, and finally established the slaves. With such hatred, how could Zhu Youxiao let it go and not mention it? However, the Ming Dynasty's new navy has just formed an army, and the threat from the West is imminent. Of course, conflicts must be resolved in a sequence. After the West is resolved and Taiwan's navy is built, it will not be too late to clear out the Japanese along the "first island chain". When Yuan Keli arrived in Ryukyu, he was by Zhu Youxiao's side. Yuan Keli had always had a very good impression of the Shang Dynasty in Ryukyu Kingdom. He once "patrolled the sea to inquire about Ryukyu, and resolved cases as strange as a god." He redressed the grievances of the Ryukyu people, and was worshiped in temples and statues in Ryukyu, where he was revered as a god. In the 40th year of Wanli (1612), the Ming Dynasty learned that Japan had invaded its country with 3,000 strong soldiers, captured its king, and carried away its imperial weapons. (1609) After the Ryukyu king was released, he sent envoys back When paying tribute, the Ming Dynasty felt that its country was in dire straits, and decided to make it a consistent practice for ten years. However, Ryukyu still maintained its tribute and promptly reported the Japanese war to the Ming Dynasty. Such a country is much stronger than a country like North Korea. So I talked to Zhu Youxiao about the suffering in Ryukyu. Hope to attract the emperor's attention. "Yuan Aiqing, what do you mean, you have been to Ryukyu?" Zhu Youxiao did not expect that Yuan Keli had also been abroad. "Back to the emperor, it is true. I have also been to Kume Village in Ryukyu, which is a village established by the Han people." "Han people?" According to the direction pointed by Yuan Keli on the map, Zhu Youxiao immediately recognized that it was Naha City is the base of the U.S. Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa, and the approximate location of Futama Airport is nearby. Why are there still Han Chinese? "Back to the Emperor, Kume Village was first called Tangying or Tangrong. That was my Taizu. In order to facilitate the exchanges of Gong surnames, and on the other hand, to guard against Japanese pirates, he sent thirty-six families of Fujian boatmen to settle in Ryukyu. These people In Ryukyu, they are called the Thirty-Six Surnames of Fujian people. The Han people there are quite respected by the Ryukyu people, and many of them are officials in Ryukyu Chinese is spoken and written there, and there are Confucian temples, etc., which are no different from those in the Ming Dynasty. Before the invasion of Satsuma, the third official of Ryukyu, Zheng Jiong, was from Kume. "Yuan Keli has been to Ryukyu, and of course he knows it very well. He is quite sympathetic to Ryukyu's experience. "Ryukyu country is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, unlike North Korea, a dirty nation that is duplicitous and ungrateful. Such a righteous country, Ming Dynasty cannot allow Japan to humiliate it! I was very sad to hear that it was invaded by Japanese pirates. However, this place is not as wealthy as the Central Plains, and there are Japanese pirates nearby. If I drive them away today and come back tomorrow, how can the Ryukyu people be at peace? "Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while, but still felt that he wanted to take over the Ryukyu Islands. But how to exchange it is indeed quite troublesome. Although Japan now controls Ryukyu, but after defeating it, it will The king and the royal family captured and negotiated, and then released them. They just controlled and profited from it every year. Even if they killed all the Japanese, the sovereignty of Ryukyu still belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom. If it really attacked, it would be terrible. It¡¯s really heartbreaking. But the location of the Ryukyu Islands is so critical. In order to blockade China, the first island chain was built here. This shows the importance of its military status. On the contrary, once Ryukyu, Japan, and North Korea are captured, As long as it is connected with Taiwan, no matter who divides the scope of the East China Sea, it does not matter whether it is an open sea or not. The East China Sea has completely become the inland sea of ??the Ming Dynasty. This is of great significance. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to become it. It doesn't matter if you exchange land for Ryukyu, give more land or give more things, etc. Yuan Keli was stunned when he heard it. He didn't understand what Zhu Youxiao meant. No matter how strong Yuan Keli's strategic vision was, he couldn't see it. The military value of going to Ryukyu, because he couldn't understand that after the Japanese pirates, there was still the vast Pacific Ocean, and how much military value it would have in the future. There is no psychological burden, but for such a kind country, I have always maintained sincere respect for the Ming Dynasty, and I am really embarrassed to explain. "Your Majesty, if you really mean it, why not use Japan after conquering it. land in exchange for it? The emperor saw that this place is Japan's Iyo-no-Nina Island (Shikoku Island), which does not occupy too much sea area and does not affect the emperor's purpose of letting Ming Dynasty monopolize the East China Sea. Moreover, this island is not far from Ryukyu, and its area is dozens of times larger, which should satisfy the Ryukyu Kingdom. " Yuan Keli's proposal does seem like the Ryukyu Kingdom has taken a big advantage, but in Zhu Youxiao's view, it is not the case. It would be easier to explain if this place is regarded as demolition. This place is favored by developers and was originally a part of the city center. If I give you 100 acres of land to move to the suburbs, are you willing? "Yuan Aiqing's words are reasonable. After the Nanyang War is over, we will immediately start the Japanese strategy!" Slaughter the Japanese pirates first, and then talk about other things! "Using the hands of Japan to destroy Ryukyu first is of course the best strategy, but this strategy always makes people uncomfortable, so take your time. Under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, one hundred captains formulated a strategic strategy for Taiwan, among which The most popular thing is to pretend that the Dutch troops are returning to control the port first, and then touch the "Relanja City" and "Chikan Tower", so that the Dutch garrison in Taiwan can be eliminated without any blood. This is consistent with this. Zhu Youxiao's ideas coincided with each other, and Zhu Youxiao agreed. Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu, Gan Hui, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhiwan, and Zheng Zhifeng are now loyal to Zheng Zhilong at the Beigang River outlet. Li Guozhu, Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Yang Tiansheng and Chen Zhongji divided their belongings and left with people and ships, while He Bin and Guo Huaiyi defected to the Netherlands and became traitors. Zheng Zhilong might be able to persuade him to surrender. Zhu Youxiao thought about this and finally believed in Zheng Zhilong. If Zheng Zhilong dared to run away now, he would really be untrustworthy. Fortunately, he already had a navy master. On a small scale, even if they dare to play Nezha Naohai, it will only be a small fight and will not achieve anything. The reason why Zheng Zhilong has been so successful in history is not because of how good he is. It was because of the Ming Dynasty Navy that it could only continue to recruit people from Fujian to strengthen its power, and even recruited An to take advantage of the imperial court's righteousness. It was just now that it was out of control, and now, the Eighteen Zhi were torn apart and wanted to use the imperial court. There is no way to rub the rope with his thigh. What's more, Taiwan is facing recovery, which is a certainty. The Taiwan Navy will also build it as soon as possible. It can be said that the pirate paradise that Zheng Zhilong rose to is gone. Once he chooses to return to the sea, He could only live as a fugitive for the rest of his life. So Zhu Youxiao readily agreed and asked him to pay attention to safety. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Zheng Zhilong agreed of course. In fact, he was also testing the emperor. The emperor's trust in him has always been more guarded against him than a thief. Now that he has given up his desire to be a pirate, he has attracted the company's attention.If the emperor really wanted him to do it, of course he would be happy to do it. Now he is going to try to see if the emperor really trusts him and dares to let him return to the sea. If he agrees, it means that the emperor begins to trust him. If he doesn't agree, it is estimated that the emperor's so-called company is just a painting for him. Playing with a piece of cake.
