Chapter 133                                                             

Under Zhou Mengchen's command, the gentry and the people of Nanjing saw how Zhou Mengchen handled the Nanjing mutiny like chopping vegetables and melons.

More than 100 soldiers, including Gaoshan, were beheaded on Nanjing Street.

Thousands of soldiers were killed.

More than a hundred soldiers were in mutiny. They took advantage of the chaos in Nanjing to rob, rob, kill and set fire. Originally, the officials in the Ming Dynasty thought that such a mutiny would only pursue the main evil and never ask about them. They would not ask about these trivial matters.

But it doesn't work with Zhou Mengchen.

Many things are done in public. It is not difficult to check.

And these thousands of soldiers were the soldiers of Zhenwu Camp and Hechi Camp.

Under the supervision of the Zhejiang Army soldiers, they watched their own people be killed, but they did not dare to move at all. They were all honest. After all, under the supervision of the Zhejiang Army, they had also seen the capabilities of the Zhejiang Army during this period, but now they have all their hearts and courage.

I dare not do anything.

"The auspicious time has come. Execution."

Then a sound of muskets and smoke rose everywhere, and more than a hundred corpses fell down on the streets of Nanjing, which surprised the people of Nanjing.

To be honest, more than a hundred people were killed at once. It was something that the people of Nanjing had never seen before. Moreover, thousands of soldiers were killed by the execution, which was also a great excitement they had never seen before.

This lively event has been a talk of Nanjing people for several years.

Zhou Mengchen didn't have that much attention to these things.

For him, the mutiny was over.

What he has to deal with is the matter after the mutiny.

He is currently discussing with Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou's troops should not be in Nanjing for a long time. After all, after the expedition, Zhou Mengchen discovered that the navy had some excess force. Therefore, the allocation of funds to the navy was reduced. After all, the money from the Ming Dynasty court was never enough.

Zhou Mengchen also needs to save money on hand.

Zhou Mengchen said to Yu Dayou: "You can transport these thousands of people to the Governor Tang in batches. See where the Governor Tang has any needs. If possible, draw a few ships from the water battle and allocate them to the Governor Tang. It is also considered support for Governor Tang."

Yu Dayou said: "Sir, there is no problem. However, the East China Sea Navy is not endless. I used to be divided into Beiyang Navy, but now I have to be divided into Nanyang Navy. I just broke the East China Sea Navy."

"Now we have to separate out a Yangtze River Navy." Zhou Mengchen said: "The Yangtze River Navy in Nanjing is useless, and this is not possible. I am going to draw a group of people from the East China Sea Navy to re-establish the Yangtze River Navy. You must also be mentally prepared."

"Sir, you can't do this?" Yu Dayou suddenly became anxious.

"Okay." Zhou Mengchen said: "This time I don't want your ship, as long as your people, the Yangtze River Navy is also very important. You can't abandon it. As for your ship's issue, you have to wait. When I was in the capital, I have already finalized it. In the future, all maritime affairs, whether it is sea transportation, immigration, sea trade, or naval lord, will be under the Honglu Temple. As for your current problems, I ask for additional ships. It's not that I can manage it. It's all about Honglu Temple. You can report it directly to Yang Jisheng, the Minister of Honglu Temple. In the future, the Beiyang Navy, the Donghai Navy, the Nanyang Navy, and even more overseas troops, all the establishment of quota personnel strategies are the affairs of Honglu Temple Minister. My name is a sect. If you have any ideas, please write to Yang Jisheng for asking."

Yu Dayou said, "Sir, you don't care?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "You also know that the governor of the six provinces and the power of the southeast should not have a position like this. Now everything is pacified. In the future, I will be in Nanjing. Other things should be divided, and the court should be returned to the court. You should also get used to this kind of thing."

Yu Dayou said: "As for your order, please rest assured, I will send someone to the Yangtze River Navy."

Zhou Mengchen said: "No, General Caojiang is similar to yours in his official position. It's just about the matter of the Yangtze River Navy. It's more about clearing out water bandits, river bandits, transporting, and quelling rebellions. There is no big war. You can choose some veterans who are experienced but have no chance of promotion, so that they can also have a promotion before they retreat."

In the Ming Dynasty, the most important naval force was actually the Yangtze River Naval Force, and the general officer of the Yangtze River Naval Force was long served as the honorary ministers. For example, the Chengyi Bo lineage was in charge of the Yangtze River Naval Force during the Qing army's southward journey. As a result, it collapsed at once.

In Zhou Mengchen's heart, the Yangtze River Navy has its own role. I just said that I was the task of clearing out the thieves, maintaining traffic, and even suppressing rebellions. But in essence, I became the second-line navy.

Let some generals who are promoted overseas come to retire or gilt. At the same time, they also serve as a reserve team.

Once the Ming Navy suffered a devastating blow, it would be possible to re-establish such a new navy in just one to two years. With the shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty, it would be not difficult to complete this task. However, it would be a bit difficult for generals familiar with the navy.

When Zhou Mengchen formed the navy, the only ones who could be called a maritime general were actually Yu Dayou and Yin Feng.

Nowadays, most of the maritime generals are actually brought out by Yu Dayou.

But in the future, when the army is completely wiped out, how to form a second naval division, and the officers of the Yangtze River Navy will be enough.

Zhou Mengchen knew that the entire Ming Navy was wiped out could never happen. Zhou Mengchen made this arrangement, which may never be useful. However, Zhou Mengchen is now an important official in the country, and often he has to prepare for the various possibilities that the Ming Dynasty faces in the future.

I would rather be useless in the future than to have such a situation in the future and I don’t know what to do.

Yu Dayou didn't expect this, but just thought Zhou Mengchen was thinking about him and said, "Thank you, sir."

This is not the fault of Yu Dayou.

The reason is very simple, the two people have different ways of thinking.

The reason why Zhou Mengchen encountered the scene of the Ming Dynasty's naval army being wiped out was that when the Ming Dynasty was fighting for global hegemony with the entire West, the battlefield was in the South China Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and even the East Africa area. Yu Dayou never thought about these things.

After all, Zhou Mengchen wanted to push the Ming Dynasty in this direction, but Yu Dayou never thought about it. He felt that the current Ming Navy was second only to the Zheng He era and was invincible in the world.

It is impossible to be wiped out.

Many details of the ocean-going war are difficult to control. Zhou Mengchen naturally hopes that the Ming Dynasty will win. However, the greatest confidence of a great country is that no matter how many times it fails, it can still be defeated.

Zhou Mengchen said: "There is a private matter, please agree to General Yu."

Yu Dayou said, "Sir, please speak."

Zhou Mengchen gave an order and brought Zhou Datong back from the backyard, saying, "This is a dog son. He admires the general's martial arts and hopes to be worshipped by the general."

Yu Dayou was shocked and said, "Sir, I am a rough man. Wouldn't it delay the noble son? And the martial arts skills are small, why should the noble son learn?"

Yu Dayou knew it very well. Although he was the best in the world in martial arts, he understood too well that even if he practiced martial arts to the point of his level, he was only a enemy of a hundred people. Using the terrain and even the mutual influence between people, he was in the armor on his body. It was already the limit of hitting a hundred people by one person.

No matter how many it is, it is impossible.

Qi Jiguang was also very powerful, but in history, when he brought the first battle between the Guards and the Tartars, he led the way and rushed into the Tartars, killing for several days, making him very powerful. But when he turned around, all his subordinates ran away. Ren Qi Jiguang had to turn around and run away. His martial arts skills could only ensure that he ran faster and not be surrounded by the Tartars.

Not to mention. The use of firearms is very large. No matter how high the martial arts are, if you knock it down with one shot, you can't pull it down with one shot? Then let's prepare for the gun together. No matter how best you are in the world, you can only die.

If Yu Dayou is the best in martial arts in the world, he will not have his current position at all. It is his military strategy, not martial arts.

Zhou Mengchen said, "But why the child likes it. General Yu will accept it."

The reason why Zhou Mengchen asked Datong to take Yu Dayou as his teacher was not just for Zhou Datong. To be honest, although Yu Dayou is known as the best in the world, the best in the world is known as the best in the world.
