339 Crowned King
If it was changed to before, Huang Taiji would not think about it, and directly rejected the proposal of the water builder, because the pay and return were too cost-effective.
If you want to prevent the Ming Navy Division from landing in Liaodong, you only need to destroy the stronghold of the Ming Navy Division on Liaodong Island, and he has already done it after using a variety of means.
In addition, in peacetime, strengthen the patrol of the coastline, set up sentry posts, and deploy cavalry troops in important places, even if there is a Ming naval division landing, they can be cleaned up.
With the original Ming State Sailor like Dongjiang Town, to be honest, Huang Taiji really doesn't take it very seriously. Because at the beginning, Mao Wenlong's army only dared to harass the place when the Qing army was not there.
It is also because of this that whether it is Huang Taiji himself or others, they are actually careless. felt that Dongjiang Town was gone, and heavy troops were deployed on the front line of Ningjin, and the rear would be safe.
But who knows, the Ming Kingdom actually shrank the Guanning army outside the Guannei, and will dispatch elite troops to attack the hinterland of Liaodong from the sea by boat!
The lesson of this time made Huang Taiji realize that after the Ming State adjusted its strategy against Liao, it must have attached great importance to the sea route, so that there would be such a surprise attack.
In this way, if there are really elites of the Ming Kingdom from the sea to Liaodong in the future, relying on the deployment of cavalry troops in sentry posts and key places alone, although large losses can be prevented, small losses will definitely not be less. Accumulate a lot, which is also unbearable for the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, the most important thing is that after there are more such things, it will definitely be a very big blow to the military morale of the Qing Dynasty and the people's morale. It is difficult to predict what the reaction will be.
Also, the Ming State shrank its forces, and greatly strengthened the first-line defense of the Great Wall in Jizhen. This added great uncertainty to the Qing Dynasty once again detouring through the Mongolian steppe to attack Guannai.
If the Qing Dynasty went and the gap in the Great Wall could not be opened, even if there was no loss of troops, the Qing Dynasty could not afford the materials, grain and grass consumed by the Qing Dynasty.
From these aspects, if the Qing Dynasty can attack the Ming Kingdom by sea, it will use Ningyuan and Juehua Island as transit points, and even a large army can press the border, and use the attack on Shanhaiguan as a cover, and the location of the ship can be moved forward.
That is to say, if the Qing Dynasty had a naval division, it could enter the land of Jinggi of the Ming Kingdom, and if it retreated, it could use the naval division to defend the coast of Liaodong and prevent the harassment of the Ming army.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's heart moved.
He raised his head and looked at the original generals of Dongjiang Town again, then at Hong Chengchou, and then glanced at Ying Erdai, and after pondering for a while, he asked: "If you want to build a large Qingshui Division, how many warships will be needed to defeat the Ming Division?" ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone knew that Huang Taiji was thinking about building a great Qingshui Division.
As a result, several people with relevant interests were immediately overjoyed.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi almost played in unison.
"Master, the slave only needs two hundred warships!"
"Master, the slave only needs half of the Ming Navy's warship!"
"Master, a slave only needs a hundred big boats, two hundred medium ships, and one hundred small boats!"
These three people spoke together, and under the influence of each other, it was only the three words "master" that others could hear clearly.
Therefore, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all blamed each other for speaking.
Huang Taiji saw their excitement, and was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, just frowned and said, "Is there a shipwright who built the warship?" How long will it take for a ship to be built, and what about the sailors and artillery on board? ”
Speaking of which, although the sailor is not valued by the people of this era, it is actually a technical arm, and it is not like fighting on land, no one can fight with a wooden stick.
This time, it was Kong Youde who took the lead and said: "Master, if we prepare these in the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid it will take several years of hard work, and the cost is huge, and the gains outweigh the losses." It's better to recruit North Korean sailors! ”
"Yes, there are also warships that the minions came from before have been idle, and they can also be repaired." Geng Zhongming followed up and proposed.
Huang Taiji listened and nodded, before, he had already mentioned the Korean sailor, which was the fundamental reason why Huang Taiji would consider.
I saw him turn his head to look at Ying Erdai, and shouted coldly: "Did you hear it, I still need a Korean sailor in the Qing Dynasty!" ”
"Minions understand!" When Ying Erdai heard this, he immediately threw up his sleeves again and hurriedly responded.
Although he knows that it will certainly not be easy. Because when they recruited North Korean firecrackers before, the Korean monarchs and ministers were still grinding and chirping, and even had their secret communication with the Ming Kingdom.
This time, it is really difficult not only to ask for North Korea's grain and grass, but also their sailors.
However, Ying Ordai knew that he had no way out, so he agreed first.
Seeing that the matter was settled like this, Duoduo suddenly came out and asked, "Your Majesty, which banner is this sailor under its control?" ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. The sailor can't also divide the eight flags, right?
Huang Taiji listened, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Since he wants Ying Erdai, a slave, to go to North Korea to ask for a water master, then the water master will be under his control." ”
Obviously, Huang Taiji is very good at taking advantage of people's hearts. He made this promise, even if Ying Ordai was the power in his own hands, he would ask for as many Korean warships as possible, so that the Dashimizu Division would have combat power as soon as possible.
When Duoduo heard this, he didn't have any opinions, but he just glanced at those Han generals and said, "I haven't found out who it was last time?" This time, the sneak attack of the Ming dog also seems to have been reported by someone. This sailor must not be given to unreliable people! ”
As soon as they heard this, Kong Youde and the others turned pale, but they didn't dare to argue, so they lowered their heads.
"Hugh has to talk nonsense!" When Huang Taiji heard this, he reprimanded, "Everyone in the palace is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and I know it in my heart. ”
As soon as they heard this, those Han officials and generals all showed gratitude one by one, and hurriedly knelt down to thank them.
However, they never expected that after retiring from the dynasty, Huang Taiji left his own son Haoge and said to him: "If the sailor wants to have combat power as soon as possible, the appointment of those Han generals is indispensable." However, it is also necessary to be on guard against them. I'm going to appoint you as the Mariner Warden when the time comes, and you're going to keep an eye on them for me, understand? ”
When Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly responded.
In this way, Zhang Mingwei's flapped wings also made Jianyu's sailors, who did not have it originally, begin to prepare. As for whether it will play the role they want to have, time will have to test.
………………
Almost at the same time, in the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, since the Xingguo Gong went on the expedition, the people of the Jingshi have become accustomed to the messenger speeding to report the news.
In the past few days, news about the South has come one after another.
At the beginning, the good news came, saying that a few big leaders of the thieves had been recruited, and they almost regained a number of Huguang areas, including Wuchang Mansion, almost bloodlessly, which made the whole of Beijing, including the court, a harmonious voice, and the praise of Xingguo Gong was also like a tide to Emperor Chongzhen.
However, this is not always a good thing.
No, Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant and the governor of Dongchang, came to Emperor Chongzhen with some concerts and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live Lord, these concerts are all for Mr. Gong." ”
"Hehe, okay!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. has won several great victories in a row, eliminating more than one million thieves in Zhao'an, such a great achievement, it should indeed be ......."
When he said this, he found that Wang Chengen's expression seemed to be a little wrong, so he didn't say any more, but frowned and asked a little unhappily, "What, are you unhappy?" ”
As soon as Wang Chengen heard this, he was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would misunderstand, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, these recitals say that Mr. is already the Duke of the country, such a great achievement, he should be crowned king!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately knew the reason why Wang Chengen's expression was wrong. But he didn't care much, just sneered and said: "These people are really damned, they think that my belly is so small, they will feel that the merit is high and the master will be disposed of?" ”
If it weren't for Mr. who traveled from the afterlife, he wouldn't have known that he would die in two years. At the beginning, I had already said that I would share the world equally with Mr., and I would just be crowned king, so would I care?
Thinking so, he immediately instructed Wang Chengen: "Who are these people? I want to see who is so scheming! ”
"Most of them are imperial historians!" When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly replied, "There should be some of them who want to win the favor of Mr. and the Lord of Long Live the Lord, so they took such a concert." But long live the Lord is discerning, and there must be people with ill intentions among them! ”
The implication is that it is difficult to distinguish the real thoughts of these people.
Emperor Chongzhen listened, frowned, and then said coldly: "Then I will allow them to play, how about Mr. Feng being the king of Zhennan?" ”
"What if the gentleman makes another great contribution?" Wang Chengen listened and asked cautiously.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face suddenly changed: "What do you mean?" ”
"Long live the lord, that's what the slave thinks." When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zeng said that the ambition is not here. What he wants to do is to impart scientific and technological knowledge after the world is peaceful, and to create a school like the Confucian saints. ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded, Zhang Mingwei did say so at the beginning.
However, at this time, he felt that if he didn't appreciate Zhang Mingwei, it would be a little unreasonable. After all, when Zhang Mingwei first crossed over, Songjin was defeated and thieves were rampant, and he really had the appearance of a dead country!
But now, not to mention the victory in Liaodong, the thieves' rebellion also sees the hope of pacification, as well as the donated glass, cement formula, etc., to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen feels that Zhang Mingwei is a prince, and that is all right.
