Chapter 1003: Powerful Pressure
The Ming Dynasty expanded its army by more than 500,000 people, although the number was huge, but the total population of the Ming Dynasty was also huge, after the radio transmitted the order to the counties, there were countless people who came to sign up for the army, and in less than ten days, enough qualified candidates were screened out and large-scale training began.
In addition to the training of the new army, several major shipyards in the Ming Dynasty are also building new ships on a large scale, and all of them are steel ships, which are expected to directly build nearly 1,000 ships, except for more than 100 new battleships of 8,000 tons, the rest are all ocean-going transport and supply ships, which are ready to completely eliminate backward wooden ocean-going ships.
The sea power of the Ming Dynasty is already strong enough, and there is no special target for this shipbuilding.
However, since the large-scale expansion of the Ming army, Dolgon and the Manchu side have become frightened birds, and more and more spies have been sent to the Ming Dynasty, and any move of the Ming Dynasty can quickly reach Isfahan, the capital of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Daming not only expanded its army in large quantities, but also manufactured a large number of naval warships?" Dolgon's face was gloomy.
"Is Da Ming still considering attacking me from the sea, but I can't do it!" The thought of this possibility made Dolgon's face ugly.
The Qing Dynasty did not have no naval power, but it was limited to 20 backward wooden gunboats, and most of them were built in recent times, except for the small size of the battleships, which could only be loaded with a dozen guns, the Qing Dynasty did not have any experienced naval officers at all, and it can be said that the Qing Navy was only a nascent navy, and its combat effectiveness was not strong.
Originally, as a Manchu from the northeast of the Ming Dynasty 6, Dolgon and other Manchus have lived on horseback since childhood, the so-called horseback to fight the world, whether it is Dolgon or other Manchus, they all think that the 6 land is their foundation, as long as the 6 land is guarded, the Qing Dynasty can be worry-free.
Therefore, even if the Mughal Empire, the Arabian Peninsula were annexed, and the Ottoman Empire was annexed, the Manchu Dynasty's maritime frontier was nearly 20,000 kilometers, and Dolgon did not have any sense of sea power.
Before the attack on Constantinople, the Manchus could be said to have only a negligible sea power, and although some ships were built and the Qing navy was established, it was only to defeat the Ottoman Empire's sea power and completely destroy the Ottoman Empire.
It was also in the Ming Expeditionary Force fleet expedition to the Ottoman Empire, under the nose of Dolgon, the Ottoman Empire was destroyed alive and alive For the Qing Dynasty, it seems to be a very powerful Ottoman navy, which is not only, the Ming Expeditionary Force fleet also brought 5,000 infantry, attacked Constantinople in one fell swoop, defeated the 70,000 Ottoman army, besieged the Ottoman Emperor in the Ottoman Palace, forced the Ottoman Emperor to sign the Treaty of Constantinople with the Ming Dynasty, and compensated the Ming 15 million silver coins in compensation.
It was this huge amount of reparations that squeezed out the last trace of the Ottoman Empire's national strength at once, allowing the Qing Dynasty to easily cross the Strait of Constantine and completely destroy the Ottoman Empire.
It was such a war that somewhat woke up Dolgon.
Dolgon's heart was tight at that time, and he began to feel the threat from the sea, which led to the development of the Qing Dynasty's maritime power after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
However, after a full year of establishment, the current strength of the Qing navy was only twenty backward wooden gunboats.
Before the establishment of the Qing Navy, Dolgon did not feel much, but now Dolgon knows that the navy is like a gold-swallowing beast, and each gunboat represents a huge amount of money, which is much more expensive than raising 6 armies.
Dolgon's heart couldn't help but bleed.
However, Dolgon knows how powerful the Ming Navy is, although the Qing Dynasty has not fought with the sea power of the Ming Dynasty, but Dolgon is not a fool, that year European countries twice formed a joint fleet warship group to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming exploded two sea battles, the first time, the European Combined Fleet had more than 600 warships, and the second time, the European Combined Fleet was more than 1,200 warships.
Although Dolgon was conceited, he also knew that the warships of European countries were much better than the warships with only a dozen guns currently built by the Qing Dynasty, but on both occasions such a large group of warships were defeated by the Ming Dynasty, especially the second time, more than 1,200 warships, which were really wiped out, and none of them were able to return to Europe.
If the sea power of the Ming Dynasty is only strong on the sea, Dolgon is not so afraid, but the sea power of the Ming Dynasty can still carry 6 troops to attack 6 and expedition to France, and the fleet of the Ming Expeditionary Force will carry 30,000 Ming troops to 6 France, and defeat hundreds of thousands of troops in France.
In the first battle of Constantinople, the fleet of the Ming Expeditionary Force also carried 5,000 Ming troops and invaded Constantinople, destroying the last trace of national strength of the Ottoman Empire.
Dolgon also knew that the number of Ming soldiers who could carry 6 from the sea was not only that, when the Ming Dynasty captured the Americas, at most, it carried a full 100,000 Ming troops to 6 at one time.
What Dorgon was afraid of was that he had no idea how many Ming soldiers the Ming Sea Force could carry at one time, whether it was 100,000, or 200,000, or more!
The Qing Dynasty is like this, the long sea frontier, even if the Qing Dynasty can defend the Ming Dynasty from 6, but how to defend it at sea.
It is precisely because of the recognition of the strength and ability of the Ming sea power. Therefore, at this moment, when he thought that in addition to the large-scale expansion of the Ming Dynasty, he also built ships on a large scale, probably in order to attack the Qing Dynasty from the 6 seas, Dolgon's heart palpitated, and his face was extremely ugly.
What should the Qing Dynasty do to resist the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty is not only incomparably powerful on the 6, but also extremely powerful at sea, and the Hai 6 can bring tremendous pressure to the Qing Dynasty.
The pressure is just too much.
In the past, the Qing Dynasty nominally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, in exchange for the Ming Dynasty not attacking the Qing Dynasty for the time being. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was also busy expanding its territory and enhancing its national strength, and it had never faced the Ming Dynasty, so even if he knew that the Ming Dynasty was powerful, he didn't feel so much after all, and he didn't feel so much pressure.
But now, after the Qing Dynasty annexed the Ottoman Empire, it seems that the Ming Dynasty can no longer tolerate the development of the Qing Dynasty, and it is clear that it has the intention of attacking the Qing Dynasty in an all-out way and completely destroying the Qing Dynasty.
Daqing had to face Da Ming directly, and suddenly felt the all-round pressure brought by Da Ming's strength.
Dorgon was a little out of breath all of a sudden.
"The strength of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to be something that the Qing Dynasty itself can resist, how should the Qing Dynasty support the Ming Dynasty in its future all-out attack, and even defeat the Ming Dynasty!" Dolgon's face changed uncertainly, and he kept thinking.
