When Xu Erxian heard this, he asked a little puzzledly: "Lord Wang, do you mean the two ships that were taken away by the forehead?" That's it, it's just two more! ”

Shang Kexi listened to it, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, if it was really just two more ships, would he say that?

On the other side, Ban Zhifu also misunderstood, and asked suspiciously: "The emperor has concentrated all the warships here, and there are no other islands or anything, right?" Moreover, we don't have a shipyard in the Qing Dynasty, where else can we get ships? ”

Seeing that they couldn't think of it, Shang Kexi smiled and said: "Don't forget, North Korea has a sailor, and now it has surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, as long as the emperor gives an order to let his sailor send troops and return to the king's command, won't there be a lot of warships at once?" ”

In the past, when Korea was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the battle of Sarhu in Liaodong was sent by the order of the Ming Emperor to send more than 10,000 musketeers, but the combat effectiveness was low, and it did not play a role at all.

Xu Erxian listened, first overjoyed, and then said puzzledly: "Lord, just those Goryeo sticks, it's not the last general to boast, the last general can fight three, counting them, it will only drag us down!" ”

"Yes, lord, you have to be cautious when using them!" Ban Zhifu also persuaded him, "Those Goryeo sticks, it's okay to fight a good fight, but if you fight a tough battle, it will definitely drag us down!" ”

Shang Kexi listened to this, but said a little disapprovingly: "First, I don't have a shipyard in the Qing Dynasty, so it's impossible to build my own ship. If you really want to build a ship, if you want to build a ship, you know how much time it will take. Second, as long as the emperor decrees that after the sailors are sent from the Korean side, the king can train them personally, as long as the rewards and punishments are clear, and the Koreans are also human, they can do the same. Just like the Mongols in the Qing Dynasty, and our Han army! ”

During this period, whether it was the Mongols or the Ming army, the combat effectiveness was actually very low, and every time they fought with Jianyu, they didn't flee when they heard the news, and those who could insist on fighting a battle were considered strong. It can be said that both the Mongols and the Ming army are rotten.

However, the same Mongols, the same Ming army, as long as they joined the Manchu army, the combat effectiveness was immediately different. This kind of thing is a very common phenomenon. The reason for this is what Shang Kexi said, the rewards and punishments are clear. To tell the truth, the Manchus did the best job compared to other forces!

Besides, after Xu Erxian and Ban Zhifu heard Shang Kexi's words, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, clapped their hands excitedly, and praised it repeatedly, saying that it was a good idea.

So, Shang Kexi didn't delay, just do what he said, and immediately wrote a recital for Huang Taiji, and told him his thoughts.

In Shengjing, Huang Taiji is actually in trouble.

Because from all kinds of signs, in the Qing Dynasty, the signs of natural disasters have also appeared, drought, this year's harvest will definitely not be ideal, which makes Huang Taiji very worried.

If it was in the past, he would not be so worried, with the Jin merchants, he could use the stolen gold, silver and jewelry to exchange for food and materials in the Ming Kingdom; Moreover, the Jin merchants could also provide news about the Guannai, so that he could safely send troops to the Guannai to plunder.

However, now that there are no Jin merchants who are friendly with the Qing Dynasty, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible to obtain food and materials from the Jin land.

In addition, there is another thing that also makes Huang Taiji a little worried. It was after the Ming Emperor wiped out the Tumut Department of the Hetao, but he did not occupy the relatively fertile land of the Hetao.

Expanding the territory is a temptation for any emperor. It stands to reason that since the Ming State has eliminated the Tumut Department, it should occupy the Hetao, at least send troops to garrison the Naturalization City, right? However, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom did not send a single soldier out of the customs at all.

If the Ming Emperor could send troops out, planting farmland in the Hetao, or grazing cattle, he could send troops to attack. Even if the Ming Kingdom stationed heavy troops in Guihua City, it was only a lonely city, and he believed that it would be easy to defeat it.

However, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was able to resist the temptation of expanding the territory, which shows that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has indeed become powerful and is a difficult opponent! This made Huang Taiji even more afraid to rashly send troops to invade the Guannai again!

Now that the Hetao side has been occupied by the Urad Department in the west, the raw rice is cooked and cooked, so he sent a letter to Huang Taiji's side, explaining the situation and wanting to obtain Huang Taiji's consent.

In this regard, although Huang Taiji didn't care, he was actually not happy when he was tricked by the Urad Ministry. Therefore, he also sent a holy decree to the Urad tribe, if he wants to occupy the Hetao, but he must use his original pasture as a condition to unite more tribes and send troops to the Ming Kingdom together to prove the strength of the Urad tribe. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not mind putting Ezhe back and letting the Chahar tribe reoccupy the Hetao.

Of course, Huang Taiji's words are more just threats. After all, Ezhe is the son of Lin Dan Khan, the descendant of the steppe golden family, and since he has already brought Liaodong, he must not be able to put it back.

Huang Taiji was thinking about these things, and suddenly heard a louder voice, so he came back to his senses and listened intently to a few Hanchen talking.

I heard Fan Wencheng say to him: "Your Majesty, over there, it's hard to say when there will be results." Therefore, the slave thought that for the time being, he could not put all the hopes of the Qing Dynasty on the side of the forehead. Building water conservancy and attaching importance to agricultural affairs is the best policy. ”

"Your Majesty, the minion seconded it!" Ning Wan followed me and said, "For my Qing Dynasty, in today's plan, agriculture is the top priority, and we must pay attention to agriculture!" ”

In fact, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always been a predatory force since its rise, and it has only changed slightly in the generation of Huang Taiji. But on the whole, it is still basically a predatory force.

However, now that it is difficult to plunder, it is natural to change. At the suggestion of Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and others, they just wanted Huang Taiji to tilt the resources of Liaodong towards agriculture. For example, to improve the treatment of farmers, at least let them have enough to eat, and even give them certain incentives to increase their enthusiasm to engage in farming. The construction of water conservancy or anything is not just talking, it is to mobilize manpower and material resources.

After hearing their suggestion, Huang Taiji frowned and said: "I am short of materials in the Qing Dynasty, just a little bit, if I lean towards agricultural affairs, what should I do in military affairs?" In any case, our Qing Dynasty established the country with force, and force is fundamental and cannot have an impact. However, what Qing and the others said is also reasonable, in terms of agriculture, if we don't pay attention to it, once a famine occurs, the blow to our Qing national strength will be unbearable! ”

His meaning is obvious, force cannot be abolished, agricultural affairs must also be valued, and resources are limited, which is a bit of a headache.

The Manchu monarchs and ministers began to discuss how to allocate resources.

It was at this time that the still gratifying recital arrived.

Hearing the voice of the guard's announcement, Fan Wencheng did not have any change in expression on the surface, but his heart was still a little sour: Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and this Shang Kexi, defected to the Qing Dynasty before and after, and they were all crowned kings successively. Even the clothed servant Wu Zhong suddenly turned into the emperor's concubine. As for himself, he is just a university scholar title, to put it mildly, he is just a master of Huang Taiji!

If you want to talk about resourcefulness, who will you lose to? Even if it is brave, it can be on a par with those who marry kings and daughters. Alas, he was both civil and military, but fate did not favor him, and he was overtaken by these martial artists!

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a thought, or he would have changed to the path of a military general. The emperor just said that the Qing Dynasty established the country by force, and military force is fundamental and cannot be influential. In this way, if you change to the path of military generals, will you lose to them in the future? It's just this Shang Keg, and what kind of Zhishun King has been sealed! Hehe, is it okay to be both civil and military?

When Fan Wencheng was thinking about it, Huang Taiji had already finished reading the recital. Then, he frowned slightly, and said to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan: "King Zhishun means that he wants to expand the strength of my Great Clear Water Master, what do you think?" ”

Human instinct is to be afraid of the endless sea. If you have a choice, you will definitely feel at ease when you are down-to-earth.

In this era, there is no meteorological monitoring at all, and even experienced fishermen cannot avoid the change of face of the sea, not to mention hurricanes, just the waves become bigger, and how many people at sea can never go back.

Not to mention Huang Taiji, even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was afraid of the sea and did not want to set foot in the sea to explore the unknown of the sea.

Therefore, after Huang Taiji saw Shang Kexi's recital, he instinctively resisted a little.

However, Shang Kexi also described in detail in the recital what benefits the Great Qing Shui Master would bring to the Great Qing Dynasty if he was strong. Therefore, Huang Taiji did not veto it immediately, but just wanted to listen to the opinions of the ministers again.

After Fan Wencheng, who was the first to receive Shang Kexi's recital, read it, he passed it on to Ning Wan to show it, and he himself seemed to be thinking about it, and did not speak immediately.

In fact, Fan Wencheng is really thinking about things.

He was thinking that if the Great Qingshui Division expanded and became stronger as stated in the song, the person in command would naturally be happy, after all, when he was on the side of the Ming Kingdom, he had always been in charge of the Water Division. The sailor is strong, and Shang Kexi has more real power. If he achieves what Shang Kexi envisioned in the recital, then his power, I am afraid that several princes, will have to look at his face, let alone himself!

Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng felt a little more angry in his heart for no reason. But fortunately, his city is deep enough, even if he scolds Huang Taiji to death in his heart, it is estimated that he can flatter Huang Taiji with a smile on the surface. Therefore, he did not show anything.

He was thinking about how to give feedback to Huang Taiji about this.

At this moment, Ning Wan, who had finished reading the recital, spoke first: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this matter needs to be cautious!" ”

"Oh?" Huang Taiji listened, but only responded and wanted to listen to his reasons.

"Your Majesty, please think about it, don't say anything else, just as King Zhishun said, build a powerful Great Clear Water Division!" Ning Wan immediately said respectfully, "However, the so-called unpredictable weather in the sky, in case of going out to conquer the Ming Kingdom, when you want to cross such a long sea route, the weather suddenly changes, and if you are not careful, you will have to be all lost." This matter is not a slave alarmist, when the former Yuan conquered the Japanese state, for the first time, a hurricane suddenly came, causing the former Yuan to lose nearly 20,000 troops and more than 200 warships. The second time, the former Yuan sent nearly 200,000 troops, with a total of more than 4,500 warships, and such a huge naval division was also suddenly swept away by the hurricane! ”

Speaking of this, Ning Wan and I behaved very sincerely, and said with an expression of dedication to the Qing Dynasty: "Your Majesty, my Qing Dynasty's national strength is not like that of the former Yuan, and I can't afford to spend it!" Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, the stronger the sailor, the more difficult it is to bear the consequences if it happens. The slave is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, and the proposal of King Zhishun must not be agreed! ”

Huang Taiji had never paid attention to things at sea before, so when he heard his words, he was immediately surprised. Two times before and after, each time there were more troops and more warships, and the result was no exception, all of them were destroyed by hurricanes. Such a serious consequence, as Ning Wan said, he can't afford it at all.

However, he still turned his head to look at Fan Wencheng and asked with a little surprise: "Fan Qing, the defeat of the former Yuan is really as Ning Qing said?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is contained in the history books, and it is true!" Fan Wencheng didn't know why, his heart was very smooth, and he immediately replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Huang Taiji no longer had any doubts, and after thinking for a while, he lifted the imperial pen and gave Shang Kexi instructions for this chapter.

Needless to say, he must have disagreed with Shang Kexi's suggestion. However, the reply was more tactful, just telling Shang Kexi that at present, there are more than fifty warships, which are almost able to protect the merchants of the Ming Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty, and other things will be talked about later.

Of course, in order to comfort Shang Kexi, Huang Taiji also reluctantly allocated some materials to the past, so that Shang Kexi could repair warships, build ports, and train sailors. At least it's a step closer than the previous abandonment of the water division.

After the approval was completed, he was sent back to Jinzhou quickly.

At the same time, on the tip of the Shandong Peninsula, there is a Liugong Island, the area of this island is not large, only more than three square kilometers, and the coastline of the island is about 30 miles long.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was still mainly transported, and there were few sea ships coming and going. Therefore, here on Liugong Island, you can occasionally see ships docked for rest.

But this time, two large ships docked together, and the few residents of the island came to see the strangeness.

However, the strange thing is that the people on these two ships hid in the cabins and did not come out, nor did they let people go up, only a few people got off the ship and went ashore.

The man at the head, speaking a Ming official dialect better than anyone else, Shi Li asked an old man in the crowd on the shore: "May I ask my husband, this is Liugong Island?" ”

Hearing this accent, the old man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute and said, "This is Liugong Island." ”

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Beijing, also immediately came to a conclusion: it turned out that Wu Zhong had just landed on Liugong Island!
