All the generals felt refreshed, it turned out that they all misunderstood the emperor.
I thought His Majesty was a little merciful to the colonists, but now I know that the Holy Majesty had planned a long time ago, and he would not let a colonist who slaughtered the Chinese be spared.
After Zhu Youjian told the generals about his plan, he specifically asked them to keep it strictly confidential and not to spread it to outsiders at will, and then began to discuss the issue of Luzon's governance and garrison.
"I have decided to formally incorporate Luzon into Ming Dynasty, establish Luzon Province, set up the Luzon Protectorate, and set up an ocean-going naval base in Luzon, with a garrison of 20 troops all year round.
Zheng Chenggong, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy, is still the supreme commander of the navy of the Ming Dynasty. Now you can recommend someone to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Malacca naval base. "
Zhu Youjian knew that, in terms of ability, apart from Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang was the most capable among several deputy commanders of the Ming Navy.
However, due to historical reasons, Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang had some disagreements, and he didn't want to hand over such an important position to Shi Lang just yet.
Zheng Chenggong's loyalty is absolutely trustworthy. Although Shi Lang has no problem, he has taken refuge in the Eastern Captivity in history after all.
Zheng Chenggong got up and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I think you can choose one among Shi Lang, Huang Fei, Zhang Huangyan, Qi Tong and others. They are all very capable."
Zheng Chenggong's words made Zhu Youjian look at him with admiration. For the sake of the unity of Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong did not exclude Shi Lang in this matter.
Even his two uncles, Zheng Chenggong didn't even mention them. With Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao's ability and sea combat experience, they are also very good.
Zhu Youjian knew that Zheng Chenggong was trying to avoid suspicion, lest others say that he was nepotism. From this incident, Zheng Chenggong's character can be seen.
Zhu Youjian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Qi Jiguang:
"Qi Aiqing, what's your opinion?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that all of them are capable, and Dudu Zheng's uncle is also capable. There are many candidates, and it mainly depends on His Majesty's choice."
Zheng Chenggong did not recommend his uncle, Qi Jiguang was just adding to him that, except for Qi Jiguang, none of the generals present had the right to speak to the navy.
Li Dingguo, Huang Degong and Liu Wenxiu are all land generals, and they know almost nothing about the navy. Qi Jiguang can be said to be an all-round general who can take everything from land and sea.
Zheng Chenggong smiled at Qi Jiguang to express his gratitude, and then said to Zhu Youjian:
"Your Majesty, as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy, based on my understanding of the generals of the navy, I believe that the commander of the naval base should be Shi Lang."
"Okay, I will let Shi Lang stay at the Luzon base, and leave five thousand naval soldiers and eight iron-clad battleships. After returning to the Ming mainland this time, immediately expand the scale of recruitment.
In the next three years, the number of the Ming Navy will reach 30, and at the same time, a naval and army school will be established to train outstanding young generals for the Ming Navy and Army. "
"Your Majesty"
After discussing the matter of the naval base, Zhu Youjian issued an order to build cement and steel bunkers along the coasts of some important islands, and use bunkers instead of fort defenses in the future.
As the caliber of warship guns gradually increases, it is difficult for coastal forts to effectively defend against key strikes at sea. As long as bunkers are useful, they can not only prevent intensive bombardment by warships, but also cause fatal blows to enemy landings, and at the same time enhance their own defense capabilities.
The matter of the navy came to an end for the time being, and Zhu Youjian remembered the matter of Liu's manor. There was no one who was not injured in the war, let alone some ordinary Chinese who had no combat experience.
Zhu Youjian took out some healing medicines from the system warehouse and handed them to Qi Jiguang, mainly anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicines, all of which had excellent effects.
"Qi Aiqing, you go to Liu's Manor for me, bring these medicines to treat injuries, bring all the Chinese back to the city, and bring some more drinks, as my reward for them."
Qi Jiguang hurriedly received the order, and then left Duhu Mansion with drinks and guards, and urged his horse to rush to Liu's Manor outside the city.
At this time, the Liu Family Manor had returned to calm, and the cleaning of the war had ended. Although the ground had been completely burned, a strong smell of blood could still be smelled.
The wooden wall at the front gate of the Liu Family Manor has been destroyed by artillery. There are more than a dozen Liu Jia family members on duty in front of the gate. Seeing the arrival of a Ming army, they hurried in to report:
"Master, there is a Ming army coming outside."
Zhang Shantang and Liu Fengxiang's injuries were not fatal. They were lying on the bed chatting at this time. When they heard that the Ming army was coming, they immediately asked their servants to help them get up to welcome the arrival of the Ming army.First release.tv. @@@m.tv.
The legs of the two were cut by the natives, and there were many injuries on their bodies. With the support of the servants, they limped to the gate of Liu's manor, and they found a Ming army standing in front of the gate.

Seeing the general's clothes, he should be a general, and the two patriarchs stepped forward to salute:
"Zhang Shantang and Liu Fengxiang, meet the general."
Without waiting for the two to bow and salute with difficulty, Qi Jiguang jumped off the horse and quickly stepped forward to support the two:
"Quickly, both of you, are you the heads of the Liu family and the Zhang family? I am Qi Jiguang, the governor of the five armies, and I am here to condolences for His Majesty by the order of the Holy One."
No wonder this person looked so majestic, it turned out to be Qi Jiguang, Commander of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty, the two patriarchs were very excited and wanted to salute again.
"The old man is Liu Fengxiang and Zhang Shantang. How dare you ask Dudu Qi to come to condolences in person. Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for remembering us little commoners. Thank you Dudu for coming to the humble house. Please come inside." Mobile terminal m.tv./
Seeing that the two patriarchs wanted to salute, Qi Jiguang supported them again:
"Okay, then let's go in and discuss in detail, and someone will bring in the fine wine rewarded by His Majesty."
"Yes"
The soldiers of the Qi family's army immediately started to move the wine from the carriage into the Liu's manor.
The battles were almost always carried out outside the Liu Family Manor, and the Liu Family was not affected much. One part of the main outer wall was knocked down by artillery, and another house was bombed down. The rest of the house was intact.
There are not many drinks in the two-horse cart, but the Liu family is crowded now. Although some Chinese have entered the city, there are at least 1 people who have stayed in the Liu family and have not left yet.
The number of Chinese killed by the colonists and aboriginals in this counterattack reached tens of thousands, more than 200 people died in the battle, and about [-] people were injured.
Almost all the Chinese who were killed and injured in battle were caused by rushing out to fight with the colonists and aborigines when the wooden wall was breached. In the end, thousands of aborigines were killed and nearly [-] aboriginals were injured.
It was their brave performance that saved most of the old, young, women and children inside from being slaughtered and humiliated by the cruel colonists, natives and Japanese ronin.
Although it was just two carts of ordinary drinks, it was a reward from the emperor, and it was His Majesty the Ming Emperor's recognition of these Chinese wandering abroad.
"Captain, please take over!"
When he came to the hall of the Liu family, Qi Jiguang was given the main seat by the head of the Liu family.
Qi Jiguang was not angry about this, nor did he refuse, and directly landed in the main position. He was not only the commander of the five armies of the Ming Dynasty, but he was also ordered to come here, which is equivalent to an imperial envoy.
After taking his seat, Qi Jiguang took out the healing medicine given by the emperor:
"This is a special healing medicine. It is mainly used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and stop bleeding. It also helps the rapid growth of broken bones. There are instructions on how to take it internally and externally. Treat the injured as soon as possible!
Drinks and medicines are all given by the current Holy Majesty. You should be proud of being the Chinese people of Ming Dynasty. I hope that the Chinese living here will not disappoint the Holy Majesty of Ming Dynasty. "
The Chinese, who were nothing in the eyes of the colonists, were treated like this by the Great Ming. The two patriarchs were moved to tears, and they felt that this life was not in vain.
