Nanjing, the king of Chu, who held the central power, had constant affairs, and after sending off the envoys of various countries, other things followed.

In the living room of the Chu Palace, Wang Yan sat with several henchmen, drinking tea and eating snacks and chatting.

At present, the main task of the Nanjing court is to recover the lost territory in the north, so the content of the conversation is still on dealing with the Manchus.

Since it was a small talk, there were not so many rules, Wang Yan ate a piece of pastry, chewed a few bites, drank another cup of tea, and then asked casually: "Did the Manchu Qing increase troops in Yangzhou?" ”

"Dolgon is now pointing to using Yangzhou in exchange for peace with our court, so naturally he can't lose Yangzhou. Liu Guogong from the front sent back the news that although the number of soldiers and horses did not increase, the Manchu Qing Dynasty transferred another batch of supplies into Yangzhou. Chen Bangyan smiled slightly.

Wang Yan nodded, "Let him invest more in Yangzhou, and then we will collect the net, but the army will not attack the city for a long time, and it will inevitably be slack for a long time, so be careful of Duoduo's raids." ”

"What His Highness is worried about is that a few days ago, Duoduo suddenly came out and broke a large camp of Liu Guogong, and now the military department has gone to Wen and asked the army to retreat to the east bank of the Grand Canal to ensure the safety of the camp."

"Duoduo still dares to go out of the city!" Wang Yan was slightly surprised, and then said: "The army temporarily retreats to the east bank, this decision is not bad, and you can't carelessly lose Jingzhou." The Ministry of War is going to a military order, telling Liu Shun not to relax, train the army, and when the imperial court recovers, it is time to fight Yangzhou. ”

"After the lower officials go back, they will send officials from the military department to supervise!"

After saying the matter, there was silence for a while, and Wang Yan asked again: "Enke this year, what is the exam question, have you thought about it?" ”

According to the convention, every time there is a major event, the imperial court wants to open Enke, last year the little emperor ascended the throne, and this year the yuan is changed, so the imperial court will open a department this year to show that the world celebrates.

"This has not yet been decided, Ning Ren means to protect the country and protect the world, but several examiners have not yet reached a consensus." Wang Fuzhi said.

Wang Yan frowned, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, will this question be too big, "This really needs to be negotiated again, so as not to arouse the disgust of the government and the opposition, it is better to change it if you look at it alone, and go abroad to ridicule the world, how about it?" Of course, this is just Lone's suggestion, how to solve the question, it still depends on you! ”

As he was talking, Lu Shikui suddenly arrived outside the guest hall, he walked quickly to Wang Yan, bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, Xu Junsheng, who was transporting supplies to North Korea, caught a big fish!" ”

"What big fish?" Wang Yan was slightly stunned.

"It was the envoy sent by the Manchu Qing to contact Dutch Yi, and he happened to be bumped into by Xu Junsheng on the way!"

Before the Dutch took the initiative to come to the door, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty was regarded as a vassal tribute, and sent back casually, and in the end, Hong Chengchou came forward, and the Dutch got on the line with the Manchu Qing, but as soon as Hong Chengchou died, the Manchu Qing and the Dutch were cut off again.

Wang Yan's pupils dilated, and he thought to himself, it seems that he is pressing step by step, and Dolgon is really anxious, and he actually sent an envoy to contact Dutchyi.

"Good catch, the last time the flood thieves colluded with Dutchyi, it brought us a lot of trouble. Xiyi firearms are sharp, we must admit this, we must not allow the Manchus and Xiyi to collude together, in the future we must strictly inspect the sea, and the land passes must also be checked, not only Manchu spies, but also Jesuits, and they cannot be allowed to go north. Wang Yan groaned slightly, and asked, "How are the preparations for the attack on the Fujian side doing?" The Ministry of War sent people to urge them to quickly defeat and drive the Dutch Yi away, so as not to collude with the Manchus, and besides, it was already June, and the refugees would not be able to grow grain if they arrived on the island this year. ”

"Lord Liangguang Chen's recital said that the Guangdong sailors have been prepared, but it seems that the national surname is still recruiting pilots who are familiar with the water pattern." Chen Bangyan stood up and bowed, "The lower official will go back to the ministry and give an order to Fujian!" ”

The Dutch came to China from the far west, not far away, and they can stir up the storm in the South China Sea, they are powerful, and they can see the whole leopard at a glance, the only drawback is that the number is too small, the entire South China Sea plus Taiwan, I am afraid there are not 10,000 people, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty has many people, if these two parties collude together, it will be a big threat to the Ming Dynasty.

After speaking, Chen Bangyan said goodbye and left, and several other people also got up, "Your Highness, there are still affairs in the ministry, and the lower officials and others have all left." ”

Wang Yan nodded, waved his hand, and let them take care of themselves, he sat and drank tea again, but his heart was a little heavy.

People have a time when they are slight, especially when Wang Yancai was established, he was already a prince, and if he controlled a large empire, it was obviously impossible to say that he was not fluttering in his heart and had no arrogance.

After recovering Nanjing and suppressing the troublemakers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was even more arrogant in his heart, and he regarded the Manchus as a mustard, and did not take Dolgon and others in his eyes, but Dolgon actually went to contact Dutchyi, but it was beyond his expectations.

In his eyes, Dolgon was just an arrogant, ignorant savage chieftain, how could he be like him, open-minded to look at the surroundings, but Dolgon did it this time, which made Wang Yan raise a trace of vigilance, he got up and went back to the study, and thought calmly.

After Nanjing was defeated by the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong rushed back to Fujian on the order of the Tang King, at that time Zhang Cunren, Tan Tai, who was originally sitting in Fuzhou, had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in Zhejiang, and the Qing army was very weak in Fujian.

There is more than half of Fujian, which makes Zheng Chenggong a little busy, and Zheng Chenggong's energy is limited, so the preparation for the attack on Taiwan is not very sufficient.

Zheng Chenggong's side was not ready, but the reinforcements from Batavia had arrived.

Since last year, the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch have completely turned against each other in the South China Sea, and the Dutch governor of Taiwan is worried about the safety of the generals, so he wrote to the governor of Batavia, asking for support.

The Netherlands is not a country with a large population, and the colonization method is mainly to occupy the key points on the shipping route and be a second-lane dealer, and the big man happens to be a key node of the Dutch trade in the East, and the things of Korea, Japan, and Jiangnan in China have to pass through Taiwan to be transported to the West and to the South Seas.

Although they knew the strength of the Ming Empire, the greedy Dutch were still unwilling to give up their Dacheng, so the governor of Batavia sent eight three-masted warships, as well as more than 20 ships of the small Sultan and more than 30 pirate ships, to arrive in Daguan in May.

Off the coast of Fujian, since then the imperial court set up a city shipping department in Quanzhou, there were more Fujian merchant ships in the strait.

Originally, Fujian merchants were crisscrossing the two seas of Fujian and Guangdong, but Zheng Zhilong fooled around, self-destructed his foundation, and even took Fujian maritime merchants to follow the vitality of the big merchants, and poured blood mold.

Now although Fujian has been recovered, but the status of Fujian's maritime business, has been greatly inferior to before, the rise of the maritime group in Guangzhou, has seized their share of trade in the South Seas, after the recovery of Zhejiang, Zhejiang's maritime merchants gradually resumed trade in the direction of Japan and Korea, Fujian is just caught in the middle, very helpless.

However, after all, the Zheng family used to be the overlord of the East China Sea, and the Zheng family had a close relationship with Japan, so many merchant ships ran the line of Japan, but Japan and Korea were not rich, and if they wanted to get rich, they still had to go to the South Seas.

Longsheng is an old business in Quanzhou, with Zheng's shares, the firm has 100 sea vessels, strong strength, and has become the pioneer of Fujian firm to open up the South Seas.

More than 20 lucky ships loaded with tea and porcelain, under the leadership of the big shopkeeper, set off from Quanzhou and sailed to Nanyang.
