How could the queen in the deep palace know the origin of the fierce fire oil in the Ming Dynasty, of course, Cai'er told her, and also told her that it would bring benefits to the local area, so the queen Le Zizi offered advice in front of the king. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chongzhen's love for the people is not fake, he just really doesn't understand the people's livelihood, and seeing that the queen is thinking about making the people have more livelihoods.

praised him: "The queen really deserves to be my virtuous helper!" Fierce fire oil is not only a weapon for defending the city, but also has such a great use, of course, it must be vigorously produced by the state capital. ”

Chongzhen, who was full of interest, also personally struck matches and operated how to light a fierce oil lamp before going to bed, and the Huang family operated matches and fierce oil lamps in this way and would earn dignitaries and nobles I don't know how much money.

The next morning court, and the urgent harassment of the ministers in Guangdong made the ministers dizzy, today is not a big court meeting, the people who come to discuss are the ministers, the chief officials of various departments and the ministers, Chongzhen looked at the two shifts of standing civil and military ministers and found that Huang Sheng, the cabinet minister, still did not come to the early court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any eyebrows for the governor of Liangguang?"

No one answered, and Zhou Yanru had no choice but to go out and say: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is selecting a candidate who can take on this important task, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Chongzhen said angrily: "Think about it in the long run? Guo Huaiyi's gang is breaking the state and county, seizing the population, and killing officials every day, do you still have to think about it in the long run? ”

There was silence again, and Wang Zhichen seemed to have made up his mind, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Huang Sheng, the Marquis of Nan'an, to be the governor of Liangguang. With his martial arts, he should be able to succeed in destroying Guo Huaiyi Haikou. ”

Gao Di also came out and said: "Lord Huang must have such an ability, but unfortunately Guo Huaiyi is a pirate, even if he can control the mainland of Guangdong, if he wants to recapture the land of letters, there is no powerful sailor on Hainan Island, I am afraid that Lord Huang will not be able to cook without rice!" ”

Wen Tiren suddenly thought of something and said: "Your Majesty, after thinking about it, I am afraid that only Lord Huang can sit in Liangguang, because he has a prerequisite that no minister can match. ”

Chongzhen saw that his thoughts coincided with those of several ministers, and his heart was already much more comfortable, and he hurriedly asked, "What did Wen Aiqing say?" Let's talk about it! ”

"Your Majesty still remembers the Korean Navy that sent warships and cargo ships to help Lord Huang make contributions to Liaodong? This time, Lord Huang went to the South China Sea, and if he asked Xinhaijun for help again, he would definitely succeed. ”

With eyebrows, the ministers discussed everything you said, and finally reached a consensus, Nan'an Hou served as the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Fujian.

Gao Di, who was doing things safely, said again: "Your Majesty, although the cabinet is collegial, Your Majesty is gracious, and Lord Huang Sheng is appointed as the governor of Liangguang, but you still need Lord Huang's physical condition to allow, and you have to listen to what good strategies he has to break the enemy!" ”

The emperor thought so, and said, "That's true, come!" Xuannan Anhou met him. ”

The microphone passed the emperor's dictation one by one, and Huang Sheng, who was teaching and educating people at home, was disturbed by the central officials who came at a gallop, so he had to come to see the Son of Heaven and the ministers immediately.

After listening to the cause and effect of summoning himself, Huang Sheng spoke: "Your Majesty, the soldier is the important weapon of the country, and the general should walk on thin ice, and the minister is not qualified to be the governor of Liangguang, so he cannot mislead the country and the people, and the minister resigns." ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes of Gon were shocked, and even Lord Huang, who was known as the god of war among the people, was afraid that Guo Huaiyi was unwilling to go to Guangdong to fight.

The Son of Heaven had finally formed a decision, but when he saw Huang Sheng's refusal, he was also out of proportion, and said: "Huang Aiqing, when the country is employing people, why are you pushing back and obstructing, are you also afraid of Guo Huaiyi's house." ”

"The minister has never been afraid of any enemy, but the minister has never despised any opponent and blindly enterprising, Guo Huaiyi is famous for naval battles, is the use of naval ships and artillery to constantly harass the coast of Guangzhou, how many warships can the minister organize can be worthy of a battle, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Huang Sheng's words choked Chongzhen's chest, and he asked Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Can the Ministry of War tell Lord Huang how many warships can be gathered, and what is the combat power?" ”

After asking, Chongzhen looked at his military department book, and was also looking forward to Liang Tingdong's next words.

Bitter, Liang Tingdong spent a lot of time studying the hole cards of the existing warships of the Ming Dynasty, knowing that there were no decent warships on the books, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said truthfully:

"Your Majesty, now Zhejiang, Caojiang Admiral, and Fujian can be adjusted to fight, and the total number should be 100, but there are not a few warships with more than 800 materials, most of them are 400 straw skimming ships, and the artillery is not mainly bowl-mouthed, and there are about 50 artillery pieces with four-pound guns."

Although most people don't understand military affairs, common sense is still there, hearing that everyone gasped here, no wonder no one dared to go to naval battles, it turned out that the Ming Dynasty did not have this combat ability at all.

Huang Sheng said loudly: "The minister is not afraid of death but seeks to die to get his place, such a child's play, the minister is not harmful when he dies, but the soldiers are so innocent, so the minister can't go to Liangguang to serve." ”

When the emperor heard that Liang Tingdong had returned to the water master's family, he was discouraged for a while and speechless.

At this moment, the old and refined Gao Di shouted angrily: "The Son of Heaven entrusts him with state affairs, as a courtier, he should try his best to complete the mission, he should rack his brains to make suggestions and not push it away, Lord Huang, are you really powerless?" The old man thinks otherwise, you should have at least three strategies for the Holy Son of Heaven to judge. ”

His own people really have a tacit understanding, Gao Di's family has a large number of sea ships to participate in the freight business of "Huaxia Sea Run", how did he not know Huang Sheng's strength at sea, seeing that he wanted to capture him, he knew that he should be willing to lead the troops again if he was good enough, and immediately jumped out and sang a double reed with righteous words.

Chongzhen heard what Gao Di said, and was very satisfied that Gao Ge Lao questioned Huang Sheng in person, and had a feeling of brightness, and said: "Huang Aiqing has a good plan in his chest. ”

"Your Majesty, this time there are no upper, middle and lower strategies at all, only two multiple-choice questions."

The top leader loves multiple-choice questions, seeing that Huang Sheng has been a cabinet minister for a few months without saying a word, and when he encounters a major event that is difficult to decide, he has a choice, and he has a spirit, and asked again: "Oh? How to choose? Aiqing quick talk! ”

"It is not advisable to use the warships that the imperial court can draw to fight in the South China Sea, if there is no absolute strength in the naval battle, it is very possible that not a single ship will come back, not only that, but more than half of the warships will be captured by the enemy, so the enemy will fight stronger and stronger, and it cannot be fought like this in any case."

Huang Sheng paused, seeing that the emperor and his ministers were all attracted to listen, and continued: "Therefore, the first choice question is to temporarily rely on the army to hold on to the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian, and the food on Hainan Island is not enough to cover the pirates' expenses, so it is difficult for the pirates to replenish their supplies. ”

"That makes sense, Huang Aiqing continued." Chongzhen listened to it, expressed his approval, and said.

"The minister can command a small number of warships to enter the Pearl River to hide, and use it to transport troops to encircle and annihilate the pirates who dare to land, so that the pirates will no longer dare to land and harass, but it is not known whether it will take three or five years or even seven or eight years to recapture Hainan."

Huang Sheng spoke strategically, and the implication was that such a deployment could ensure that Guangdong and Fujian could be secured, and as for Hainan's Xindi, it was simply unable to recapture it, which was equivalent to giving up.

But in such a roundabout way, he spoke in a high-sounding manner, and put on a posture of refusing to abandon the soil and had been working hard, and the result was completely different, and sure enough, the emperor and the ministers thought so, and they did not lose face.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter the monarchs and ministers did not dare to abandon the trustworthy land, for which the Ming Dynasty consumed most of the national strength in Liaodong Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and finally the finances were dragged down alive.
