Chapter 132: The Beginning of the Navy

After some haggling, Kangxi finally agreed to Shuyun's request to plant flowers. Spring ploughing also began, and there was a busy scene on the Zhuangzi, facing the morning sun of spring, and the farmers sowed the seeds of hope, just waiting for the autumn harvest.

At the beginning of May of the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680), Kangxi accompanied Shuyun to tease the dragon eggs like small meat balls and play with Tuan Tuan. The good news of the sailor came.

In February, Zheng Jingshui concentrated in Haitan. In March, Prince Gong Changning and Fujian Navy Admiral Wan Zhengse led more than 28,000 officers and soldiers and 240 warships to attack Haitan. On 2 April, Changning, Wan Zhengse, and others sank 96 Zheng ships and destroyed more than 6,000 of them. Zheng Jingzhi Haitan is lost, and Xiamen is difficult to protect. Wu Gui, Luo Shiling, and other Zheng commanders-in-chief wrote to Yang Jie, detailing the situation of Xiamen's support, and were willing to take the lead and report the results. Yang Jie's troops divided into three routes and went straight to Xiamen. Zheng Jing wanted to transfer troops to counterattack, but there was no food in the army for a long time, and Zhu Tiangui was defeated by Chongwu, Chen Chang offered Haicheng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and Liu Guoxuan retreated to Xiamen. So, Zheng Jing knew that the situation was impossible, burned the martial arts hall and camped, and led the rest of the people to board the boat and return to Penghu. Huang Rui, the commander-in-chief of Xiamen, faced the powerful offensive of the Qing army and led his troops to surrender. Xiamen was then recovered by the Qing army on April 13, and Changning and Wan Zhengse led their divisions into the city. Yang Jie then joined forces with Yao Qisheng and others, and took Kinmen and Tongshan by victory. On 25 April, Prince Gong Changning and others reported that the islands along the coast of Fujian had been recovered by the Qing army, and the naval army was directed at the Taiwan islands.

This is a military training and a test of the sailors. Countless resources and hard work were sprinkled in exchange for a big victory. This victory came more than a month later than recorded in the history books. But the results were at least tripled. Kangxi took the good news, and his hands trembled slightly. The strength of the Great Qing Kingdom has taken another big step forward.

It's a pity. Kangxi was ready to reject the request of the sailor to take Taiwan directly. Because this war also exposed some shortcomings of the sailors. Judging from the current form, we will not say whether Taiwan can be taken for the time being. Even if Taiwan can be successfully recovered, it will definitely pay a great price. It will also be a big blow to the Royal Navy, which is still young in the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi shook his head helplessly and sighed. "Alas! This Zheng Jing, let him jump for another two years for the time being. ”

Shuyun got up, supported her waist, walked to the bookcase, and took out two notebooks with black covers and handed them to Kangxi.

"What is this?" Kangxi took it and asked puzzled.

"My logbook must be useful to sailors."

"Logbook?" Kangxi gently flipped it open. Read page by page.

After he finished reading, Shuyun began to explain to him: "The logbook records the main conditions of the ship during the voyage and berthing. Registered on time by the driver on duty. The items to be recorded include course, speed, dead position, weather, current, sea surface and channel conditions, fuel consumption, passenger embarkation, cargo loading and unloading, and major events that occur when the ship is sailing and berthing. The logbook is a record of the daily work of the ship, the basis for checking the crew duty responsibility, and the most original information that must be cited when dealing with maritime affairs. In general, every crew member in the West, including the captain of a ship, had to keep a logbook. ”

Kangxi nodded and said, "Well, this logbook is indeed extremely useful, and my Great Qingshui Master should follow suit." These two logs of yours will also be very helpful in solving some of the problems that are occurring in the current sailors. Why didn't you take it out earlier? ”

"It's not too late. Besides, the construction of water masters is like that of children, and they must rely on their own efforts to truly grow up. You can't always be supported. In fact, Shuyun didn't even think about taking out these two logbooks at first. is the most ruthless emperor's family, and sometimes kindness can be exchanged for suspicion and dissatisfaction. The relationship between Shuyun and Kangxi is not just husband and wife, Kangxi is the monarch first, and then the husband. Father. So no matter how favored she is, Shuyun still has a lot of scruples most of the time. But now, the recovery of Taiwan is imminent. Kangxi flinched, forcing Shuyun to do something again. We can't let our days of hard work go to waste. History has gone awry, and who knows when the next opportunity will come? If you wait another ten or eight years, there will be no chance. Doesn't it make people sigh?

Kangxi's thoughts Shuyun can also understand, now that the three feudatories are about to be paid, and the confrontation with Taiwan's Zheng family has won a big victory, Kangxi's prestige will definitely be in full swing from now on. His control over the imperial court and the entire country will also rise to a new height. If at this time, take advantage of the victory and pursue, winning is the icing on the cake. Losing is a blow to the head. The prestige that had been accumulated in the past will be hit.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but if you can get these two logs early, maybe you can hope to take Taiwan now." Although Kangxi decided to give up, he was still angry about not being able to attack Taiwan now.

"It's okay now, no matter which army it is, most of them have grown in battle, and the experience provided by others is not as valuable as the experience they have figured out. Although there are still some problems with the sailor, the flaws are not hidden. At the beginning of the construction of the naval division, one or two failures were not necessarily a bad thing, and if you said it, it would not necessarily fail, and you should give Changning and the officers and men of the naval division full confidence and encouragement. Only an army that marches forward bravely is an army that cannot be defeated or bent, and can get out of the army and face all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. Only then can it truly become a steel force. After saying that, Shuyun took a great risk. In the past, Shuyun was just a small fight, and some of the topics she participated in were harmless. However, this time is different, Chairman Mao's sentence is so good that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", and no matter when and where, the issue of the army is always the most sensitive. The ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty - the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is no joke. The royal families of all dynasties have attached great importance to this provision.

It is said that this first appeared when King Wu of Zhou was warping, and said, "The chicken has no morning, the morning of the chicken, but the rope of the family", which means that the hen should not crow in the morning. If the hen crows in the morning, the family is finished. By extension, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and if the harem interferes in politics, the country will be finished. The king's "only the words of the woman are used" was declared a crime.

There is a clear text recorded in the history book is the nineteenth volume of the "Historical Records" of the family of foreign relatives - Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the painter to paint the Zhou Gong to back into the king's auxiliary political map, so the ministers all knew, Emperor Wu wanted to set up Mrs. Gouyi's son as the prince, a few days later, Emperor Wu blamed her and locked her in the court prison, soon after, she died, later, Emperor Wu asked the attitude of the ministers and said that since ancient times, the country will have turmoil, because the monarch is young and the queen mother is young, the heroine is arbitrary and arrogant, lewd and presumptuous, no one can manage it, Haven't you heard of Empress Lu?

Since then, there have been many such examples. It can be seen that the previous dynasties have been taboo on the issue of harem politics.

After Shuyun finished speaking, Kangxi looked at Shuyun silently for a long time.

This step, sooner or later, is going to come out after all, this is a gamble, not only gambling on yourself, if you lose, even the children will be affected. Shuyun was extremely nervous, but in the face of Kangxi's inquiring eyes, she still looked at him without fear, and said in a normal tone, "Why are you looking at me like this?" If you have something to say, just say it. "Since being with Kangxi, what Shuyun has shown in front of him is that he has no scheming, he will say what he has to say, and he will not hide it, which may help Shuyun's current situation. It depends on what Kangxi thinks.

And on the Taiwan issue, Shuyun and Kangxi have different views. In the confrontation with Taiwan, the imperial court was always at a disadvantage, and in desperation, it also made a relocation and forbidden sea that cost the people and money. If it weren't for Shuyun's repeated disguised persuasion, Kangxi would not have abolished this law as he is now, but would have further strengthened it. At present, the ministers of the DPRK and China, including Kangxi, have formed a kind of inertial thinking -- Taiwan's maritime power is very strong and it is difficult to deal with it. This also made Kangxi less confident in attacking Taiwan.

Shuyun knows the history, and the results of this battle are more than twice as large as in history, that is, Taiwan's strength has been seriously weakened, and many people have ignored this. As a matter of fact, now is a good time to attack, and with the might of victory, we will definitely be able to take Taiwan in one go. If you wait any longer, it will give Taiwan's Zheng a chance to breathe.

But these words, Shuyun can't say these words too thoroughly to Kangxi, do you want to tell Kangxi in disguise that she is very military? So-yun has done enough now. Don't add to it.

Looking at Shuyun's ignorant eyes, Kangxi shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Do you understand?" You can't talk nonsense about that. ”

Shuyun was very unhappy, glared at her, and said, "Why am I talking nonsense?" I have a basis for this, is it okay, many of the opinions in the book have ended, and they are all like this, is it wrong in the book? ”

Kangxi opened his mouth and said a little tangled, "Really, I can't make sense with you, I'm going to write the holy decree." You are obediently playing with Yinzhen and Tianen here, don't run around, be careful of the tires. ”

Seeing Shuyun pinching her waist, she straightened her thick waist and looked unrelenting. Lao Kang could only reluctantly kiss Shuyun again, and coaxed him to "Be obedient, ah!" Don't mess with me. I'll be with you in a moment. ”

Looking at Kangxi's back, Shuyun let out a long sigh in her heart. However, he still sat down and said to the two little buns in frustration, "Dragon Egg, Tuan Tuan, Eniang's little baby, you Ama is so bad, you always bully Eniang, we will ignore him in the future, okay?" ”

Before the two little buns could answer, Comrade Lao Kang roared, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Hmph" Shuyun counterattacked.

On the third day of the fifth month of the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680), Emperor Kangxi issued an order to order Prince Gong Changning to be the commander-in-chief, and to lead all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to capture Taiwan with Wan Zhengse, the commander of the Fujian Naval Division. Fujian Governor Wu Xingzuo, Governor Yao Qisheng, and Land Governor Yang Jie were respectively responsible for solidarity and response
