Zhu Zhiyu recommended Huang Zongxi, a fellow villager, and Gu Yanwu from Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, to Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng thought that Hangzhou University, after all, is a higher education based on science and engineering, mainly cultivating scientific and technological talents.

Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, like Zhu Zhiyu, follow the path of rigorous study, but Peking University, which is more suitable for Beijing Normal University, if there is an opportunity, they can be allowed to teach at Peking University in the future.

Li Zicheng and Zhu Zhiyu kept talking about getting dark, so they stayed in Zhu's mansion for dinner.

Before the dinner was over, He Xiaomi came in, "Your Majesty, the battle report ahead!"

"Battle report?" Li Zicheng was stunned, He Xiaomi sent the message to the table, it must be an urgent message, could it be that the ninth battalion suffered a defeat in Guangdong? Or is it unfavorable for the 4th Battalion to be in Fujian?

He took the message, opened it and looked at it, his frown completely relaxed.

The message was sent by Zhou Kun of the South China Sea Fleet.

The South China Sea Fleet went south along the coastline, and along the way gradually became familiar with the nature of the sea, and also learned to fight on the sea, and the fishermen and pirates along the coast fled from the wind.

The fleet sailed to the sea off Fuzhou, defeated Zheng Zhilong, the governor of the Fujian Navy Division of the Ming Dynasty, and under the deterrence of the Fourth Battalion Army, Zheng Zhilong led the naval divisions of Fujian and Guangdong to surrender to the South China Sea Fleet......

After reading this military report, Li Zicheng suddenly couldn't close his mouth.

In this military report, Zhou Kun did not describe the process of the battle in detail, nor did he achieve a big victory in the battle, it should be that under the pressure of the land and water army, Zheng Zhilong was unwilling to fight to the death with the South China Sea Fleet in China, and finally surrendered.

The process is not important, the key is the result.

Zheng Zhilong surrendered, and the South China Sea Fleet will stay in Fujian and Guangdong, which is a big step forward from the real sea fleet!

Now is the most critical moment to expand and standardize the South China Sea Fleet, and there is also a sea giant thief, Zheng Zhilong, who is also an official and a thief......

Li Zicheng hurriedly had dinner, said goodbye to Zhu Zhiyu, and returned to the Chinese army's tent outside the city.

Early the next morning, Li Zicheng left Yuyao County and headed south with two regiments of personal soldiers.

Zhu Zhiyu, who crossed the river from Jiang's family in the south of the city, and came to see him off, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is Shunshui, and after crossing Shunshui, the villain will no longer be sent away." ”

"Shun Shui?" Li Zicheng frowned lightly, this name is so familiar, it seems that he has seen it somewhere......

He glanced at Zhu Zhiyu with a smile on his face, and his heart didn't move: Zhu Zhiyu...... Shun Shui, Zhu ...... Shunshui ......

I see!

This Zhu Zhiyu, is it the Zhu Shunshui who fled to Japan?

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a native of Zhejiang, he refused to be an official many times......

It had to be him!

Zhu Shunshui was forced to go into exile in Japan because of his opposition to the Qing Dynasty, and finally died in a foreign country, which was a loss for Huaxia, and more importantly, when Zhu Shunshui was in Japan, he spread many important ideas, objectively promoted the unification of Japan, and accelerated the rise of Japan!

As a neighbor, Japan's rise earlier than China's is definitely not a good thing!

However, when "Li Zicheng" came to China, Zhu Shunshui had no chance to spread his doctrine in Japan, so he smiled at Zhu Zhiyu and said: "Mr. Zhu will leave for Hangzhou as soon as possible, and I will leave the matter of establishing Hangzhou University to you!"

"Obey the order!"

After crossing Shunshui, Li Zicheng did not delay any longer and immediately went south along the official road.

The official road to the south was blocked by various mountain terrains, and the road was not only wide and narrow, but even rugged, and the speed of the march was far less than that of the plains.

In Li Zicheng's heart, he had the idea of building a cement road to the south

However, this is a later story, the main task of the Road and Bridge Company now is still near Beijing, and even the Taihu Lake Avenue has not been built, and it is impossible to build the road leading to Fujian and Guangdong along the coastline.

However, the Fourth Division had already taken the prefectures and counties along the way, and the roads were smooth, and there was no need to attack the city.

Zhou Qingrou followed Li Zicheng, suffered all the bumps along the way, and did not arrive in Fuzhou until after autumn.

Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian Province, located at the mouth of the north bank of the Min River, is a typical estuarine basin, surrounded by mountains and mountains, with Drum Mountain in the east, Qi Mountain in the west, Wuhu Mountain in the south, and Lotus Peak in the north.

Backed by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is good, however, the traffic is very poor, except for the official road along the east and west sides of the Min River, there are almost no roads in the north-south direction.

Li Zicheng came to the north of the city, and the officials represented by Wu Zhiping, the former governor of Fujian, and Wu Chunzhi, the governor of the imperial history, were already waiting outside the city, "The villain is waiting to see the emperor!"

Li Zicheng asked everyone to get up, looked sideways, and didn't see Zhou Kun at all, and frowned slightly.

A middle-aged man in his early thirties squeezed over, "Your Majesty!"

"Are you ......" Li Zicheng felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

The middle-aged man hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Weichen Leyong, the commander of the first regiment of the first battalion of the South China Sea Fleet!"

"So it's you?" Li Zicheng smiled slightly, he had seen it when he was in Huguang, no wonder he was a little familiar, "Where is Commander Zhou now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Commander Zhou's fleet is parked in the open sea," Le Yong said: "Commander Zhou is stationed in Fuzhou with Weichen and waiting for the emperor's ......"

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Let's go to the city first!"

Entering a strange city, He Xiaomi was the most nervous, and tens of thousands of soldiers escorted Li Zicheng into the city and temporarily stayed in the governor's yamen.

Li Zicheng was the first person to be summoned, naturally it was Le Yong, and after a detailed discussion, he asked someone to invite Zhou Kun and Zheng Zhilong to Fuzhou.

After Le Yong left, Li Zicheng immediately summoned Wu Zhiping, Wu Chunzhi and others, appointed Wu Zhiping as the governor of Fujian, Wu Chunzhi as the president of the court, and appointed the well-known gentleman Liu Gonghan as the president of the supervision, and Yang Banghan remained as the prefect of Fuzhou, and ordered them to set up a local government as soon as possible to implement various laws in China.

Li Zicheng waited in Fuzhou for most of the day, and it was not until the second day that Zhou Kun came to Fuzhou with Zheng Zhilong.

After the two gave Li Zicheng a big gift, they were given a seat by Li Zicheng, and He Xiaomi took the opportunity to offer tea.

Zhou Kun looked at Zheng Zhilong, who had a solemn look in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, the sailor of Zheng Dudu has already taken refuge in the South China Sea Fleet, and the ministers are stupid and don't know how to place Zheng Dudu's ......."

Li Zicheng bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "What does Governor Zheng have in mind, is he willing to serve in the South China Sea Fleet, or is he willing to serve in the state capital, or continue the original sea trade?" ”

"This ......" Zheng Zhilong hesitated, but he didn't know how to reply, he defected to the Mandate of Heaven Army that day, he did not fancy the strength of the South China Sea Fleet, but because the fourth battalion captured Fujian and cut off his roots.

"Zheng Dudu's matter, don't be in a hurry for the time being, in short, those who are sincerely obedient to Huaxia will never be treated badly," Li Zicheng has been thinking about Zheng Zhilong's matter for a long time from the moment he received the military report, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Zheng Dudu, how is the South China Sea Fleet compared to the Fujian Navy?" ”

"Villain ......"

"Governor Zheng don't have any worries, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it!"

Zhou Kun also said: "Governor Zheng, the South China Sea Fleet has just entered the sea, and it needs more guidance from Governor Zheng!"

Li Zicheng said again: "Zheng Dudu has been in the naval division for many years and has used countless warships, you can talk about the South China Sea first."

The pros and cons of several capital warships of the fleet!"

Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhou Kun, and got Zhou Kun's encouragement, Fang said: "That villain is bold......"

Li Zicheng didn't speak, just gestured with his eyes.

Zheng Zhilong said: "According to the villain's view, the 'Chongqing-class' battleship of the South China Sea Fleet has a very advanced design, fast speed, and great stability, and has surpassed the battleships of the Fujian Naval Division.......

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "In this way, the main warships of the South China Sea Fleet have surpassed the warships of the Fujian Navy Division?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the main battleships of the South China Sea Fleet are indeed beyond the Fujian Naval Division," Zheng Zhilong arched his hand and said: "The speed is fast, the temperature is large, and the load is large, if you only use the battleship theory, the main battleships of the South China Sea Fleet are far stronger than the main battleships of the Fujian Naval Division, and the main battleships of the South China Sea Fleet are all specialized warships, unlike the Fujian Naval Division, the battleships are basically transport ship modifications......"

Li Zicheng understands that the current Fujian Navy Division may not have real warships, most of them are converted from transport ships, and warships have both transportation and combat tasks, and to put it bluntly, they can only be regarded as armed transport ships.

Knowing that there would be no good results, he still asked: "Governor Zheng, how is the main warship of the South China Sea Fleet compared to the fleet of the Western Ocean?" ”

"This ......"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Zheng Dudu don't have any worries, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, you know yourself and your opponent!"

Zheng Zhilong arched his hand and said: "The main warships of the South China Sea Fleet, especially the 'Chengdu', have a large carrying capacity and advanced artillery, but ...... Artillery ......"

"Artillery?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Western naval guns, are they also firing flowering shells?" ”

"With the combat experience of the villains, they don't have flowering shells," Zheng Zhilong said: "In addition to solid shells, they are mainly grape shells, and after the shells are out of the chamber, the scattered area is very large, but on Western ships, there are many naval guns......

"I don't seem to understand," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The greater the load of the battleship, the more guns there are?" ”

"Your Majesty, that's not what the villain meant," Zheng Zhilong thought for a moment and said, "With the same carrying capacity, the number of warships and guns of the South China Sea Fleet is obviously small......

"Ao," Li Zicheng said: "Governor Zheng, please speak clearly!"

Zheng Zhilong is no longer as restrained as before, tunneling: "The main battleship of the Fujian Navy Division is smaller than the 'Chongqing-class' battleship, but it is generally equipped with sixteen guns, and even more than twenty guns, and the warships of the South China Sea Fleet are only equipped with ten guns......"

Li Zicheng understands this truth, the more guns on the battleship, the denser the firepower, the stronger the effective combat effectiveness, the "Chongqing-class" and "Chengdu-class" battleships have a small number of guns, and the combat effectiveness is naturally weak, "Zheng Dudu, the number of artillery pieces can have a certain relationship with the weight of the guns themselves?" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Zheng Zhilong said: "The weight of each gun will indeed affect the number of guns on the battleship, but according to the villain, the artillery on the 'Chengdu' battleship can be at least doubled......"

"Double?" Li Zicheng was shocked, could it be that the battleships designed by John Tang and Cao Jian had the shortcomings of insufficient firepower?

Maybe......

John Tang was not a professional ship designer, and Cao Jian built the battleship based on the drawings designed by John Tang from memory, which was difficult to perfect in a short period of time......

Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Your Majesty, the villain is brave...... If the villain is allowed to transform, the 'Chengdu class' can double the number of naval guns, and if it is a Western-specialized mechanic, it may be able to ...... more."
