338 Do your best
Hong Chengchou listened to it himself, of course, he also knew the reason, and his old face suddenly turned slightly red, but then he was indifferent.
Zu Dashou also knew about this matter, so he peeked at Hong Chengchou at the first time, and found that he was indifferent so quickly, so he scolded in his heart, the face of the civil official is really thicker than the city wall.
The reason why Ying Erdai named Hong Chengchou was because after Hong Chengchou surrendered, he betrayed all the news to Huang Taiji, including the previous war, the Korean side sent a monk named Dubu to rush to him to report the news of Jianyu's troops.
However, at that time, Huang Taiji decided to make a detour to the Mongolian steppe to attack the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea would not run, so he ignored it for the time being.
This time, since we want to ask the DPRK again for tribute of grain and grass materials, we must find a reason. Therefore, Yingordai remembered this matter for the first time.
It stands to reason that even Jianyu knew that it was a bit unreasonable for them to ask North Korea to pay tribute to grain and grass again, so they had to find a reason to cover it up.
And Hong Chengchou, as a top representative among scholars, wants to go to North Korea to confront him face-to-face and once again prove that North Korea is clear, logically speaking, he should feel ashamed when facing the subject, but it turned out to be nothing, which is the reason why Zu Dashou scolded him in his heart.
If in the original history, it was also in this October, because of Hong Chengchou's betrayal, Jianyu demanded that North Korea hand over the two North Korean officials who were in charge of the Tongming affair, and Ying Erdai was also in charge of interrogation, because he was familiar with Korean affairs.
Sometimes, history still has its strong inertia, no, in this plane, there is still Yingordai in charge of this. However, Jianyu's requirements have gone one step further.
It was only at this time that Ying Ordai wiped the blood smashed by Huang Taiji and retreated to the side.
Huang Taiji still looked worried, looked at these people below and asked, "In the future, how to prevent the Ming cavalry from invading Liaodong by sea again?" ”
In the Chongzheng Palace, after a moment of silence, Ji'er Harang, as the commander of the Ningjin frontline, replied first: "Your Majesty, Juehua Island must be taken, so that the Ming State Sailor will lose the supply place halfway. In this way, even if the Ming navy came to Liaodong again, it would inevitably increase its risk at sea. If there's a hurricane or something, it's possible to wipe out the whole army. ”
After a pause, he immediately added: "And Juehua Island is just outside Ningyuan City, threatening Ning Jin's line. Although we are not afraid of the Ming army, if the Ming army goes ashore to make trouble, it will be too convenient and will add a lot of trouble to us. ”
The Ming army on Juehua Island is indeed a problem. Huang Taiji thought so in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the Ming army of Juehua Island must be uprooted!" ”
Hearing this, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, the generals who originally belonged to Dongjiang Town, couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts. If you want to uproot Juehua Island, there is a high probability that you will use a water master. On the Qing side, they are the most familiar with naval warfare.
Sure enough, after Huang Taiji spoke, he glanced at a few of them, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Because Dolgon had already stood up and also played to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the coastal defense of Liaodong also needs to be strengthened. Since the Ming Kingdom has tasted the sweetness of coming to Liaodong from the sea, it will definitely come again, maybe it is possible to rebuild Dongjiang Town, we have to guard against it! ”
Huang Taiji listened, nodded with a stern face, what he was most worried about was this matter.
In the past, when Dongjiang Town existed, even if Mao Wenlong's department was the same as that of Huazi, it gave him a headache for I don't know how long. It is really a day and night defense, and there are always times when there is negligence, and troops must be stationed, which is equivalent to being dragged down by the original small number of troops in the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, Huang Taiji actually knew very well in his heart, although there was no news from Guannei, but he was sure that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom would definitely rebuild Dongjiang Town.
Thinking like this, he saw that Dolgon glanced at Kong Youde and the others, and then played to him again: "In addition to setting up more posts along the coast, we must also have enough cavalry to be able to maneuver and deal with the possible landing of the Ming army at any time. However, in this way, the coastline of our Daqing Dynasty is too long, and it will inevitably contain many horses. And if the Ming army stayed on the island first, it would be very troublesome. ”
The previous Dongjiang Town was built on Phi Island. If it weren't for the Ming Kingdom's own death, the Qing Dynasty would have been helpless.
Huang Taiji listened to his words, then nodded again, agreeing with Dorgon's idea, and listening to his follow-up opinion.
I heard that Dolgon's face suddenly became solemn, and he suggested to Huang Taiji very seriously: "Your Majesty, it's time for us to have our own sailors in the Qing Dynasty!" ”
Hearing this suggestion, the crowd in the Chongzheng Hall couldn't help but whisper and talk one after another.
"We have everything in the Qing Dynasty now, just send the water master, this can be had."
"Yes, with the sailor, the Ming army will not want to gain a foothold on the island, come a batch, and we can destroy a batch."
"However, the sailor didn't say that it could be built, our advantage in the Qing Dynasty was still on land!"
"Yes, what about the warships, the sailors, and the artillery of the naval battle, we are all lacking in the Qing Dynasty!"
“……”
Huang Taiji looked at the bottom and discussed, he was not annoyed, he was also thinking about it.
He would not have considered this proposal under normal circumstances. Because as far as the situation of the Qing Dynasty is concerned, there is no need for a sailor at all, and there is no need to spend a lot of time and manpower and material resources to tinker with the sailor.
Now, however, it is likely that the Ming Kingdom will rebuild the town of Dongjiang. And Dongjiang Town's threat to Liaodong has already had a painful lesson, and Dongjiang Town must be defeated.
However, the Sailor is no better than an ordinary army!
Thinking about this, he glanced at Kong Youde and the others again.
These Ming generals, who originally came from Dongjiang Town, were familiar with naval warfare, and they also had a group of skilled sailors under them. And when Kong Youde took refuge in him, he also brought the method of casting artillery. As for the warships, they also brought some one after another.
swept the islands on this side of Liaodong before, and it was Shang Kexi who led his sailors to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
However, after Dongjiang Town was gone, Huang Taiji felt that there was no need for the Great Qingshui Division to exist, so he did not set it up again.
Now, forced by the situation, the matter of the Great Shimizu Master has been put on the agenda again.
Alas, without those Jin merchants, the situation in the Qing Dynasty was really much more difficult. Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, and gritted his teeth with hatred for the pass of Shanhaiguan.
However, despite this, he was still cautious about the establishment of the Great Shimizu Division.
Because if you set up a water master, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources, and the manpower and material resources of the Qing Dynasty are limited, which makes the head of the Huang Taiji a little difficult, not just that he doesn't want Kong Youde and others to get out of his control.
Seeing that Huang Taiji was pondering, Zilharang understood his concerns, and followed behind Dolgon and said, "Your Majesty, if I have to rebuild the sailors, I can order Korea to provide some warships and sailors, and we don't need to build warships again." And if we have a sailor in the Qing Dynasty, not only will the coast be guaranteed, but we can even govern others in the way of others, and we can also attack the pass through the sailor, which is more convenient than detouring to the Mongolian steppe! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" When Dolgon heard this, his eyebrows raised, and he immediately echoed, "Boarding the ship from Ningyuan has reduced the voyage a lot, and this matter is promising!" ”
Hearing the words of the two of them, Huang Taiji was really happy in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at Hong Chengchou and asked, "What does Hong Qing think?" ”
When Hong Chengchou asked, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "The Ming Kingdom has always only focused on the defense of the Great Wall defense line such as Shanhaiguan and Jizhen, and has never thought that the Qing Dynasty would have the possibility of attacking from the sea. Therefore, Tianjin and other places are all undefended. If the Great Shimizu Master could really land in Tianjin, he would definitely be taken by surprise. ”
Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, and then added: "But if you go by sea, you must first defeat the Ming State Sailor." Otherwise, something big is likely to happen! ”
The so-called big thing is not that the back road is cut off and the whole army is annihilated. He really had a heart in mind with this euphemism.
When Huang Taiji heard this, he frowned. Although they are from a fishing and hunting nation, for so many years, since the start of the army, who has still relied on fishing and hunting to make a living, how easy it is to rob the Ming Kingdom! Not to mention, they didn't go to the sea to beg for a living, let alone fight at sea.
"How is the situation of the Ming State Water Division?" Huang Taiji asked after thinking so.
Hong Chengchou listened, glanced at Kong Youde and the others before replying: "For a long time, Liaodong has been dominated by Denglai sailors, supplemented by Shanhaiguan and Tianjin sailors. Now that the Denglai Sailor has died in name, it stands to reason that the Sailor of Shanhaiguan and Tianjin is not to be worried. It's just that I didn't expect that this time there would be a ship that could transport 5,000 cavalry troops. ”
Although the transport ship is different from the warship, there are many ships, which is still beyond his previous impression, so he specially reminded it.
"I know that!" When Zilharang heard this, he said, "Those more ships, according to the captured Ming army, did not accept the explanation, saying that the Ming State recruited a group of pirates, and the pirate leader led by him had a good relationship with the new Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief!" ”
When Huang Taiji heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How is the combat power of this pirate?" ”
Hearing this, Shang Kexi couldn't help but say: "Master, they are just pirates, what combat power can they have!" ”
He was born as a regular sailor general, so he naturally looked down on ordinary pirates.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming listened to it, and they also echoed it.
Huang Taiji glanced at them, and then at Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly replied: "These pirates are definitely not comparable to the regular sailors of the Ming Kingdom. ”
When Huang Taiji heard this, he weighed it in his heart, should he build a big clear water division?
