"Birds don't in that place on Sakhalin, what is Japan tossing?" Dorgon stroked his beard and frowned.

The Ming side will call sooner or later, and the Rakshasa country is ready to move again, and now there is another ......

"For mink, of course!" Prince Zheng Zilharang said, "Mink is worth a lot, and it is said that it has won gold!" ”

"It's for mink!" Dolgon nodded, and said angrily, "Mink is great, we can't let Japan take away all our money!" ”

Mink is known as the king of fur, and it is worth the money of the old nose in both the East and the West, and it is not comparable to the skins of bears, deerskins, and wolves. If in the recent Vladivostok trade, the leather goods taken out by the Qing Dynasty were all mink, then the foreign guns and cannons exchanged for them could be ten times more!

With such a big benefit, how could Dorgon give it up?

"We have to send troops to drive the Japanese away!" Dorgon then added, "Where is the south side of Sakhalin?" Is it close to Japan? Is it possible to open a mutual market as well? ”

After the fight, you have to make a deal!

The Qing Dynasty is poor, and if you don't want to open up a wide range of financial roads, you will have to go bankrupt sooner or later.

Bolo said: "Huang Ama, we don't know much about this...... We don't have any sea vessels in the Sakhalin area. ”

"How did you get to the island without a boat?" Dorgon asked.

"The northern part of Sakhalin Island is very close to the land under the jurisdiction of the Yamen of Nuergan Meljang, and in winter the sea freezes over, so just walk there." Bolo explains, "It's not very difficult to row a small boat there. But this island is quite large, from north to south, I am afraid that it is more than 2,000 miles! ”

So big? Dolgon said to himself, "How many minks must there be?"

"If our soldiers and horses go from the north of the island, can they go to the south?" Dolgon had fought and knew that a 2,000-mile overland supply line would be difficult to maintain.

Of course, the "mink collection team" of dozens or hundreds of people can do without logistics, and the hunting along the way can be maintained. But hundreds or thousands of people can't do it, and you can't fight so many animals! How many animals do you need to eat for thousands of people? It's all wild animals, they're all great, and they don't have much fat!

"Too many people," said Bolo, "is not a big deal," said Bolo, "two or three hundred is not a big problem...... No more will do, there must be sea vessels. ”

"Then send two or three hundred men to the test," said Dolgon, "and let Aobai send men...... Then 1,500 pieces of Zhisibanian oceans transported to Vladivostok were transferred to Aobai. ”

Okay, the Satsuma Domain's iron cannon is going to be used to kill the samurai of the Matsumae Domain......

Dolgon frowned and said, "The Sailor must be built!" Otherwise, the coast is so long, and people don't just want to go in and out for poaching?

However, the water division has to come step by step, and now the Heilongjiang water division has not yet become an army! It can't be ...... What kind of sea is it on the other side of Sakhalin? ”

Bo Luo didn't know about this problem, so he had to ask Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan for help.

"Huang Ama, the slave knows," Fan Wencheng said with a smile, "the sea on Sakhalin Island is so big that it can lead to the New World, and the Westerners call it the Pacific Ocean." ”

"Pacific ......," Dorgon nodded, "That's the Pacific Marine!" The Pacific Navy Division will definitely be built, and in the future, the Vladivostok Meljang Jing Yamen can be upgraded to the Pacific Navy Division Aung Bang Zhangjing Yamen! ”

This is amazing, it's not the Qing Beiyang Naval Division, but the Great Qing Pacific Naval Division, it sounds awesome!

But the awesome sailor doesn't even have a small sampan now, and the North Korean shipbuilding armor that Fan Wencheng set up for Duoduo has only now opened in Acheng (Harbin), the station of Angbang Zhangjing in Heilongjiang, and now not even a turtle ship has been built!

Of course, sea ships can be bought, and the export management of ships in the Ming Dynasty was very lax, and ships equipped with cannons were sold casually, but there were restrictions on the types of naval guns. The maximum weight of the bullet is 6 pounds, which means that only 3-pound guns and 6-pound guns can be loaded.

By the way, the so-called "pound" refers to the British pound. Because the Hongyi cannons sold by the Portuguese to the Ming Dynasty were actually British man-made artillery, and the cannons sold to the Ming Dynasty by the Bugarao Artillery Factory later were also made into British ones. Therefore, Zhu Cihong's artillery was used in accordance with the imperial system, and he was too lazy to change it - it is easy to change "pound" to "catty", but it is not easy to do.

Now that the new education of the Ming Dynasty has just begun, it has not yet formed a real artillery design ability, so the artillery produced by the Ming Dynasty is copied and not independently developed. If 3 pounds are changed to 3 catties, and 6 pounds are changed to 6 catties, then from casting to gun gauge and gun ruler have to be changed - if there is no suitable gun gauge and gun ruler, how much charge should be loaded into the cast cannon, and how far it can shoot is not known (not a data, but a series of data, different ammunition, different distances, and different charges), this cannon is a semi-waste!

So it's a big trouble to change pounds to pounds!

And it also involves the problem of casting and chamber pressure, and if you are not careful, you will have to blow up the scrap!

Therefore, if you can use copying, Emperor Zhu will never go to independent research and development, and you don't have to pay any patent fees this year, why don't you copy it? Not only the cannons were copied, but even the muskets were copied, and the galleons of Galen were copied.

Zhu Cihong doesn't pay attention to it, and Dolgon doesn't care even more, let alone copying, you can buy ready-made ones.

"As for the ship, it can't be relied on by the shipyard in Acheng, you still have to buy it from Nanming!" Dorgon pondered, "But what if the court doesn't have any money now?" ”

When he spoke, his eyes swept lightly over the faces of the eight major council kings, the court has no money, but the ten flags below have flags, and the masters of each flag are richer!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Dolgon smiled, "I don't want you to donate money, I want the court to issue a fur debt note!" The Southern Dynasty issued a feudal debt and raised tens of millions of taels, so let's issue a leather debt here to build the Pacific Navy Division and the Heilongjiang New Army.

Emperor, this debt is borrowed by you, what do you think? ”

This Dolgon too, when he borrowed money, he remembered Shunzhi!

Shunzhi is 12 years old this year, and of course he knows what debt is. He, the emperor, deserves no power and no power, and he still has endless books, and now he still has to owe debts, what a bitterness!

Shunzhi gritted his teeth, "The sons and ministers all listen to Huang Ama." ”

"Okay!" Dolgon smiled, "The emperor doesn't have to borrow more, it's enough to borrow 500,000 taels of silver!" How about giving 50,000 taels of interest a year? Is it enough? ”

"Enough, enough......"

"Too much, too much!"

"Enough ......"

Who would say it's not enough? Didn't you see Shunzhi and was about to cry? At the age of 12, he had a debt of 500,000 yuan, how pitiful...... Fortunately, the job is good, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise he won't even be able to marry his wife in the future!

Dolgon clapped his hands: "That's it, issue 500,000 taels of bonds, 10 flags will be evenly divided, and each flag will be enough for 50,000 taels!" ”

......

Embassy of the Ming Dynasty in Japan, Uraga Town, Japan.

A four-wheeled carriage slowly drove into the newly built Chinese-style mansion from the direction of the port.

In the carriage of the carriage, there was a fat man with a pale face, wearing a crimson official uniform to show his identity - he was a big official above the fourth rank of the Ming Dynasty!

This man was ordered to send the Japanese prefect of Matsue and the ambassador of foreign trade and commerce, Dagong Luo. He came directly from Shanghai to Uraga Port on a Zheng family's Wanshi ship, and also brought a letter from the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong explaining to Tokugawa Iemitsu the misunderstanding about the "Japan-Qing Alliance".

This misunderstanding was caused by Luo Dagong's carelessness, of course he didn't run, so he had to drift on the sea for more than 20 days on a large ship, and finally arrived alive.

Zheng Zhibao, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to Japan, personally went to the dock to pick him up and took him back to the embassy, and told him about the news he had just received.

Kata Island, the territory of the Matsumae Domain in the northernmost part of Japan, has recently been attacked by the Great Qing Kingdom from the north! Although the samurai sent by the Matsumae clan to Katai Island repelled the Qing army, the supplies they were carrying were set on fire by the Qing army, and they had to temporarily abandon the island and retreat.

Therefore, the lord of the Matsumae clan went to the castle a few days ago to ask for help from the sick Tokugawa Iemitsu and asked the shogunate to send troops to help the Matsumae domain regain the lost territory!
