Speaking of this, there was a sudden chaos and shouting outside.

Geng Zhongming sent someone out to check, only to find out that it was Li Hui who was caught.

Geng Zhongming smiled: "I caught it just right!" Ayayang-kun, in the next day, I will use the head of this faint king as a sacrifice to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne! In the future, I hope that we can share weal and woe and cooperate more. This is the hope of the next, and at the same time, it is also the request of my handsome, and I hope you can understand! ”

The threat in Geng Zhongming's words was extremely strong, and in the face of strong strength, Li Liang did not have the slightest ability to refuse. Even if he was busy agreeing to this matter.

The General Military Mansion of Dangerous Mountain Town.

When Ma Denglong entered the second hall, Ye Fu was trimming his beard in front of the bronze mirror.

The ancients paid attention to 'thirty and must', Ye Fu is still very young now, but if he looks too young, I am afraid that there is no deterrent. Therefore, even if he was only in his twenties, Ye Fu also grew his beard.

Not to mention, it does look a few years older and much calmer.

Ma Denglong saw that he was engrossed, stopped at the door, and did not dare to disturb him.

Ye Fu saw his movements from the bronze mirror and said to him, "What's the matter?" Come in and talk about it. ”

Ma Denglong walked in at this time, "Dashuai, the matter on the North Korean side has been settled." ”

"Oh? So fast? Ye Fu felt a little surprised, after all, North Korea is still some distance from here, and he doesn't know exactly what the situation is. Although I thought that things should go relatively smoothly, I never expected that the problem would be solved so quickly. He turned around, tossed the scraper in the tray, and asked, "What about that?" What about gimbal others? Are you back? ”

Ma Denglong said: "Lord Geng hasn't come back yet, it's the military newspaper that sent it back first." It is said that the army besieged the palace of Seoul, and after the palace was broken, so as not to have many dreams at night, they supported Ayayang-kun that night, that is, the throne. As for the original king of Joseon, he was tied up and beheaded that night. In order to fear the recurrence of public sentiment, Lord Geng led his troops to stay there to clean up order, and it is estimated that it will take some time. ”

"Well, that's good." Ye Fu made a hasty comment, sat down, and ordered, "You remember it, and help me write a letter to him later." Tell him that when this matter is almost over, half of the 3,000 people he brought with him will stay in North Korea to help Li Liang maintain order, and the rest will be withdrawn. Tell him that the number of people who don't collect at night is too small, and let him hurry up to expand the army. It doesn't matter whether you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty or not, as long as your heart is towards the Ming Dynasty, you can use it boldly! ”

Ye Fu's words, even Ma Denglong felt explicit when he heard it!

Isn't this clearly telling Geng Zhongming that Lao Tzu's side is not enough to replenish the army, so you are on the North Korean side, and you will come back when you have enough people?

Of course, no one dared to have any doubts about such words.

North Korea is now the meat of Ye Fu's mouth, and it is absolutely impossible for him to spit it out.

It's just that if you want to eat it, you always need to waste some effort.

After the order, Ye Fu ordered Ma Denglong to go down, and then called Xu Gaozhuo.

Since Xu Gaozhuo was promoted to chief military officer, the affairs on his side have become more and more complicated, and he is still busy with the previous things. At this time, when he heard that Ye Fu had summoned, he hurriedly ran over.

Hearing Ye Fu's head, he asked, "Mr. Xu, I haven't mentioned it to you before, and you don't know if you've thought about it." I plan to buy a batch of ships from Europe, do you have any thoughts on this? ”

"Boat?" Xu Gaozhuo has been so busy lately that he hit the back of his head, and when he heard Ye Fu mention something about the 'boat', he was a little dazed. He asked, "What does the marshal want the ship to do?" ”

"Naturally, it's just in case of emergency!" Ye Fu said, "In the round land battle, we are not the opponents of the Tartars. It's okay to defend the city, but it also depends on the fact that we have cannons, and the other side doesn't have cannons. But once the other side also has artillery, when the time comes, whether it is a city battle or a field battle, we will not have an advantage. In this way, if you don't think about the way back, how will you live in the future? ”

Hearing Ye Fu say this, Xu Gaozhuo finally reacted.

"Are you planning to form a water army?" Xu Gaozhuo asked.

Ye Fu nodded at him, "That's right! As for the water master, my northern land is a disadvantage, and I have never paid attention to it. In fact, with a water master, we can stretch both advance and retreat, and that's a very important thing! In terms of strength, although Portugal is not as powerful as the sailors of the southern Ming Dynasty, it is also a maritime power, and in terms of our use, it is enough at this stage. Coupled with our own pondering, it is also possible to surpass the sailors in the south in the future! ”

Xu Gaozhuo thought for a while and said, "Since the big marshal said so, the student has no objections. I just want to ask the marshal, does this sailor want to recruit another cadet to study? Did the ships build their own ships, or did they buy them directly from Portugal? ”

"Learning is naturally about learning." Ye Fu made a final decision, "Always rely on others, that's not good." I am dignified, the land is vast, people are not stupid, what others can learn, we should naturally learn better. It's just that most of the people in the north are landlubbers. When recruiting, you may wish to go to a nearby place to recruit, most of them will be familiar with some water, and it is better to learn and master. ”

"Yes, the commander has commanded him very much." Xu Gaozhuo agreed, and then asked, "The ship~~"

Ye Fu thought for a while and said to him: "You don't need to worry too much about the ship's affairs. I will tell the instructors in Portugal about this, for the time being, we can only buy a few boats to play, and in the future, we will naturally learn to make them ourselves. However, there is no rush in this one. First train me a group of qualified sailors, and then think about the ship. ”

Xu Gaozhuo hurriedly agreed, "Yes, the student will arrange the selection as soon as possible." ”

Ye Fu nodded and said, "By the way, do you know about the affairs of North Korea?" ”

Xu Gaozhuo asked: "Is Dashuai talking about the coup d'état in North Korea?" The students have heard about it. Lord Geng is doing a good job over there, and except for the high-level people on our side, few people know what the specific situation is. It seems that the concealment is well done. ”

Ye Fudao: "That's right, he did a pretty good job in this matter." But that's not all I want. The population, land, and gold silk available to us in Liaodong itself are small, and the territory of Korea is so large that it is enough to supplement our shortcomings. So, in the future, the focus of your work should also be slightly tilted towards the North Korean side. For example, when recruiting, you can consider the soldiers over there. ”

"However, it's not my race~~" Xu Gaozhuo was a little reluctant in his heart, he felt that the fugitives were still available, but the North Korean soldiers were not very useful? In the end, it's not a heart, and I don't even understand the language.

Ye Fu smiled: "Is it my race who said it?" It's not necessarily a good idea. We treat them as our own and try to assimilate them as our own. In this case, isn't my race actually that important? ”

When Xu Gaozhuo heard him say this, he knew that he had already made a plan in his heart, and he immediately did not dare to persuade him again.

The situation in Liaodong was much more serious than the expectations of the imperial court.

After the fall of Liaoyang and Shenyang one after another, the resistance of the entire Liaodong showed a languishing trend. Until June of that year, when the imperial court finally decided to reactivate the original Liaodong Jinglu and important minister Xiong Tingbi, only the eighteen military forts under the dangerous mountain town where Ye Fu was located were still struggling to support the entire area east of the Liaohe River.

Nurhachi sharpened his knife and Huo Huo to Guangning, seeing that after the loss of Liaodong, Guangning, which is known as the throat of Liaoxi, the gateway to mountains and seas, and the barrier of Beijing, is about to fall into the hands of the enemy.
