Chapter 993

In the traditional thinking of the Ming Dynasty, the navy is only a subordinate of the army and is responsible for fighting for them. Almost all the navy are attached to the army, and there are dwarfs everywhere.

However, the difference between the Chinese empire is not that they have a deep understanding of the ocean, but that the Navy played a super role in the process of their formation.

Liu jianeng has the strength to win the world from the beginning, which has a great relationship with the Zheng family. After the Zheng family joined, they can attack, retreat and defend, and remain invincible.

This makes many people dare to rebel against them with their heads. If they are in trouble, they can escape to the sea.

Whether they traveled thousands of miles south to Yangzhou, raided Nanjing, or quickly went north to Tianjin, the Navy played a great role.

Especially in the process of sweeping the south of the Yangtze River, the Navy dispatched warships to quickly transport materials, troops and fire support for them.

In the process of dealing with JianNu, their navy can also land anywhere along the coast of southern Liaoning. It is impossible to defend JianNu. Moreover, because their navy has strong firepower, wherever they go is their sphere of influence, their strength begins to climb.

Zheng Zhibao and Zheng zining, the leaders of the upper Navy, are also their top figures, which greatly improves the status of the Navy. Of course, this is also related to the layout of Liu Bu's father and son.

Like the former Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, he was satisfied when he laid down the world. He had no plans to expand overseas and touch other places.

But Liu's father and son thought differently. They would not let their huge Legion stop on their own coastline. Beyond the coastline, there is a broader territory.

For example, they know that there is Japan overseas. On the other side of the distant sea, there is a larger continent where the Spanish Empire has colonized and brought back an amazing amount of gold and silver.

Because of this, Liu Yuanqiao vigorously developed the Navy and raised his status. The Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of national defense are at the same level. The commander of the Ministry of the navy is only responsible to the emperor, and does not need to be responsible to the headquarters or the cabinet.

Even Liu Bu and his son have been planning to name their navy the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, which means that the navy is directly under the command of the emperor or the royal family, which greatly improves their status, which also means that they are the pro army of the emperor, the Imperial Army and Yulin guard.

After Zheng Zhibao volunteered, they immediately began to study the possibility of Zheng Zhibao commanding the army to attack North Korea.

After their discussion, they unanimously approved the decision. The prince of Fujian was responsible for attacking from the sea, forming an Eastern army on the land, advancing both sea and land, and taking North Korea.

The Ming Dynasty has a big problem in dealing with North Korea, that is, the mountains are high and the road is long, and the logistics problem will be extremely difficult.

Thousands of miles of troops will be transferred, and the supply of logistics will collapse them.

This is the reason why JianNu attacked North Korea as soon as he fought, but Daming was a little difficult to fight North Korea.

This is because it is very difficult for Daming to fight North Korea and dispatch troops thousands of miles. JianNu only crossed Yalu and directly used troops to fight North Korea, which is very convenient.

To attack these places, logistics supply is a very important issue, but the Chinese army has a strong navy, and this is just the radiation range of their navy, which greatly reduces their logistics pressure and can quickly transport materials everywhere.

For example, the traditional attack on North Korea must cross the Yalu River and fight all the way to defeat Pyongyang.

If they do so now, under the escort of powerful navy, they can bypass these peripheral cities and directly attack Pyongyang at the mouth of the Han River.

Originally, the Ministry of household and other ministries still had some doubts about attacking North Korea. This is because of logistics problems, they will face great pressure.

But if it is led by the Navy and transported by them, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the land.

After their unanimous decision, Zheng Zhibao, Prince of Fujian, was officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of the eastern army, responsible for commanding the naval fleet, and 50000 troops attacked Lee's Korea.

Originally, the Chinese army now used troops, but it also used the limit, but they can still dispatch some troops from various troops to form the eastern expedition army, which is responsible for attacking North Korea on land.

Since North Korea dares to act recklessly and offend Tianwei, they will naturally return the color.

They are very efficient. At dawn, they have made a decision to attack North Korea and decide which troops to send to join the eastern expedition.

At dawn, Liu Yuanqiao officially held an extension meeting, also known as the cabinet expansion meeting. Those above the five grade officials in the Central Government participated in it. Liu Yuanqiao officially informed the ministers of the matter.

As a result, there was no exception. There was an uproar in the court, and then there was the sound of shouting and beating. The Korean people did their job. They couldn't bear it.

Since public opinion and public opinion are also supporting them, they are even more unscrupulous. Liu Yuanqiao officially ordered to declare war on Lee's Korea and began to form the eastern expedition army.

After discussion, Liu Yuanqiao and his son gave instructions to Zheng Zhibao. This is the war. They hope that the Anti Japanese war will last for a long time. After this war, Lee's Korean army should be annihilated and its main domestic supporters will be eradicated. The Chinese Empire will set up a Korean envoy department in Korea. Frankly, they just want to turn Korea into their province.

When Liu Yuanqiao said this, Zheng Zhibao immediately understood.

As the commander of the Navy Department, Zheng Zhibao is very happy that his majesty has this kind of marine thinking. If the emperors before the Ming Dynasty only focus on the land and see that their navy is so large, they are afraid to find a way to disarm, because the imperial court doesn't have so much money and keeps so many huge fleets.

You should know that the Navy spends more on military spending than the army. Many ministers in the court have expressed great opinions and put forward various criticisms and opinions.

However, after these opinions were put forward, Liu's father and son did not ban the Navy as they wanted. Instead, they decided to upgrade the navy to the Royal Navy. The Navy will be directly led by the royal family, and his military spending will be changed to internal money instead of the national treasury account.

This means that the status of the Navy will be higher than that of the army in many aspects. It is said that since it is the Royal Navy, it is the prince of heaven's own soldier, a bit like the 26 guards.

The officers and men of the navy are grateful and proud of this. They think this is the result of the struggle of the prince of Fujian. The prince of Fujian has a very high position in the Navy.

His Majesty's brothers, who worshipped the son of the emperor, had a life-long friendship long before the founding of the country. After the army, Liu Yuanqiao was only a king's supervisor, and he had been granted the title of Prince of Fujian, Prince of the word, and more importantly, the father-in-law of the crown prince. This noble status made him a very high position in the Navy and the Chinese Empire. It is estimated that this is the only position, To win them the treatment of the Royal Navy.

The Central Plains imperial dynasty was a farming imperial dynasty, and they were used to focusing on the army. The navy was only a subsidiary of the army and was inferior everywhere. Even these Navy officers and soldiers were difficult to change this idea.

But now the Chinese Empire has promoted them to be on an equal footing with the army, and they are still higher than the army in some aspects, which makes many people very excited. They are ready to fight a big battle.

Although they had reached a resolution last night, they had to pass an enlarged cabinet meeting during the day before they passed the formal appointment. They officially appointed Zheng Zhibao as the commander-in-chief of the eastern expedition, responsible for commanding the land and water army and expediting Korea.

In terms of the army, they temporarily decided to form a 50000 East expedition corps to attack North Korea from land

After all, their navy, even if the warships are huge and powerful, they can't get ashore. Their artillery range is about five kilometers.

Beyond the range of artillery, the navy can't force it. It can only stare. That's why they can't be strong all the time.

Although there are Marines, they can't win a country without sending out a large army. In those years, Li Shimin devoted the whole country to conquering Koguryo.

Apart from other things, when the Japanese fierce man Toyotomi Hideyoshi annexed North Korea decades ago, he mobilized an army of 200000 to 300000.

The Chinese army only sent out the Navy and 50000 troops, which is not enough. This is only the investment in the first phase. According to their estimation, the investment in North Korea will not be less than 200000 troops. Therefore, Zheng Zhibao is needed. Such an important national minister sits here, which can deter Xiaoxiao and make other people submit.

Zheng Zhibao joined the Chinese army very early. He is almost a veteran and one of the four commanders of the Chinese army.

Liu Bu and Zheng zining moved into the palace successively, while Liu Zhongyong sat in the command department and was in charge of the army all over the country. He was the only commander-in-chief who could go out to fight.

For this eastern expedition, Liu Yuanqiao publicly issued a decree. Before the temple, he went to the altar to worship the generals and sent the generals to the expedition, which is a very formal process.

Li's actions from top to bottom in North Korea completely angered Liu Yuanqiao. The Chinese empire made an oath to eradicate it and arrest it anyway.

There is no doubt about this. Even in the former great Ming Dynasty, when North Korea refused to accept it, it would fight until it obeyed. If such a subsidiary country was not obedient, it would easily be a disaster. Zhu Yuanzhang promised North Korea to be a non levy country, that is, to stabilize and comfort him.

Liu Yuanqiao promised them the same conditions. In the next few years, if Lee's North Korea is willing to be a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese empire is still willing to maintain this relationship with him.

It is likely that North Korea also saw the calculation of the Chinese Empire, so it took the excuse of being loyal to Daming and made a decisive move. Although it was very cruel and unique, it stood on the commanding height of morality.

Liu Yuanqiao, no matter whether you are moral or immoral, if you dare to oppose me, you have to fight. This is called those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die.
