The matter of Zhuzhou was completed, and after Yu Kaiyi left 500 people, he began to march to Hengshan County in the south. "Words, feelings, first, http://www.Klxsw.com

Far away in the southeast of the land of Fujian, the construction of the first batch of warships will begin tomorrow, and they are all thriving.

And tonight in Gucheng County, Zhu Changhao and they are all resting, thinking that they can go to Xiangyang tomorrow to see what the industrial base of Xiangyang City has developed in the past six months.

Zhu Changhao wanted to know, what has become of this Xiangyang City now? Look at Xiangyang Nahuitong City, has formed a large-scale, intensive industrial production model? Now that the prototype has appeared, and the place of Xiangyang, how many silver taels has Zhe Zhongxin earned in the past few months? Also, how many military forces have been trained, the construction of the wharf, and whether the Hubei-Henan-Anhui trade route has been opened up now...... These are all things that Zhu Changhao is eager to know.

Thinking in a daze, just when Zhu Changhao wanted to fall asleep, Liu Zheng suddenly reported, "The housekeeper asks to see the prince." ”

When Zhu Changhao heard this, he knew that his cronies had come from Xiangyang to see him, so let's see him.

Zhu Changhao, who was dressed in a short coat and plain coat, walked out of the cabin and happened to see Zhi Zhongxin, who was dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes. Zhe Zhongxin didn't change for a moment, but he looked thinner and darker, but his eyes were brighter.

When Zhe Zhongxin saw the prince, he was about to kneel down, but Zhu Changhao grabbed him and helped him up.

The two entered the cabin by the way, and Zhu Changhao did not put on a score, and personally poured a cup of herbal tea for Zhi Zhongxin.

Zhe Zhongxin looked at the herbal tea, and there was no excuse, maybe he was really thirsty. Although they are all sailing on the Han River, they can't drink the river water in a hurry, especially when the prince said, "In summer, you must not drink some raw water from the river, saying that there are a large number of small animals in the water that are invisible to the naked eye, and if you drink this water, these small animals will enter the human body, produce miasma and plague, and say what bacteria and viruses are called such small animals." ”

Enduring hunger and thirst and wanting to see the prince's loyalty, in this way, he hurried all the way, without a drop of water, and rushed from Xiangyang downstream to Gucheng County in three hours in this afternoon.

Now in the cabin, after drinking three cups of herbal tea in a row, Zhe Zhongxin wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then said, "Lord Wang, the little one has finally come back to life." ”

When Zhu Changhao heard this, he said directly, "What is alive, this king knows, tomorrow King Gu and his entourage will arrive in Xiangyang, why did you go to Gucheng County today, did something happen?" ”

"Lord Wang, nothing big happened, today I received a report from the Xiangyang Water Master, saying that the Lord has arrived in Gucheng County, and I heard that since the Lord has arrived, I am the old man of the Lord Wang, and I must go over to take a look."

"Alas, in fact, this king also knows that you have the same feelings for this king, but, when did you appear a Xiangyang sailor?"

"Back to the prince, this Xiangyang Sailor is the name of our insiders, in fact, outside, it is called the Xiangyang Fleet, however, this fleet is small and built according to the training method of our Hanzhong Fubo Sailor, although it is called a fleet, but its combat effectiveness is no worse than the strongest Nanjing Sailor now."

"Oh, old fold, this Nanjing sailor is our old powerhouse of the Ming Dynasty, dating back to his predecessor, but the Chaohu sailor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty."

"Then, Lord Wang, this dark night is long, you can tell the little one about the "ancient" of this Nanjing Sailor. ”

"Lao Zhe, this matter was in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, when uprisings broke out in various places

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) clouds, the Yuan Dynasty ruling edifice will fall.

At that time, in such a turbulent era, Chaohu people Yu Tingyu and his son and brother Liao Yongan gathered troops to protect Chaohu Lake in the township, repaired boat ponds on Laoshan Island, and trained sailors.

This navy, which was originally only to defend its homeland, gradually developed and became a powerful water force with a lot of attention.

At that time, in addition to the Yuan army, the most powerful army was the rebel army led by Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others.

Several forces launched a tug-of-war in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and who could win in the end, Chaohu Water Division became a decisive force.

Whether the Yu father and son and the Liao brothers joined the Yuan Dynasty or fell to the rebel army directly affected the history of the land of Kyushu for hundreds of years in the future.

In the fifteenth year of the Great Yuan Dynasty (1355), this year was the turning point of the fate of the great grandfather. Guo Zixing, the leader of the Red Turban Army, died of illness, and his grandfather led the rebel army.

The army was stationed in Hexian, and the grandfather decided to cross the river to seek Nanjing and establish a stable base, but to capture Nanjing, he had to go through quarrying, and wanted to cross the Yangtze River, but he was trapped in the lack of boats and boats.

This is because after the Taizu uprising, its main troops were the army and the horse army, and there were almost no naval divisions. If there is no water division, how to wave the division to the south.

When the grandfather was anxious, Yu's father and son, Liao Yongan, and Liao Yongzhong brothers wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Yu Tonghai went to He County three times to express his sincerity.

It can be imagined that the great grandfather was ecstatic after hearing it, and immediately said "God help me", issued such an exclamation, and personally took several generals to Chaohu Lake (it is said to be Laoshan) to consult with the leaders of the Chaohu Water Division, that is, the two troops will meet and cooperate to form a coalition army.

Since the Yu father and son and the Liao brothers were attached, the strength of the great grandfather has increased greatly, and he has more than 1,000 large and small warships overnight. When the Yuan army heard that the Chaohu Water Division and the Tai Grandfather cooperated, they were frightened and immediately sent troops, but they were defeated and fled, and chased them all the way to the Yangtze River, where a decisive battle occurred, and the Chaohu Water Division won in one fell swoop, so the Yuan Army's defeated water division troops retreated to Wuhu, so that the Tai Grandpa's troops sat on the Chaohu Water Division's warship and marched to quarry.

Subsequently, Yu Tonghai led his troops to conquer Quarry Rock, marched to Nanjing, and soon took Nanjing, and the grandfather changed Nanjing to Yingtianfu. However, he faced two major enemies, Zhang Shicheng in the east and Chen Youliang in the west, one in Taihu Lake and the other in Poyang Lake. The Chaohu Water Division, the Poyang Lake Water Division, and the Taihu Lake Water Division fought separately, defeated them, and finally controlled the entire Yangtze River Basin, unified the south, and established the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

In the period of Grandpa Cheng, the eunuchs of the Three Treasures wanted to go to the Western Ocean, and the main backbone of the force was the Nanjing Navy, who fought several beautiful battles in the distant Indian Ocean, supported justice, and fought several beautiful battles, and annihilated a group of more than 5,000 people, the largest pirate gang on the sea at that time, slaughtered or captured all the pirates. The famous chieftain Chen Zuyi was captured and later brought back to the capital to rectify the law. This is a pirate force of more than 5,000 people, and this battle is not simple. ”

Although later, the sailor was abolished, more than 30 years ago, and was brought alive by Qi Jiguang and Qi Shuai, in the "Renchen War", the sailor directly broke up the warships of the Japanese country, I remember the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguangyun at that time: "The fortune ship is as tall as a city, non-human drive, all the wind, the ship is as short as my small cangboat, so the fortune boat is pressed down by the wind, like a car running over the mantis." Fighting the power of the boat, not the manpower".

According to the "Wubei Zhi" cloud, "between firearms and waves, ups and downs, may not be able to get caught in the thief." namely

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) so that there is no geometry, but it can be false to scare the enemy's heart. There are two things to do: to launch the Franco. It is the only one who is not in it, and there is no ship or powder in the middle, one also. With fireballs and the like on the bow of the ship, when they meet, they are thrown from the high, and the fire is fired, and the thief ship burns, and the two also". It can be seen that the Ming Navy has a large ship size and a high freeboard, and has obvious advantages in close battlefields such as collisions. ”

"Lord Wang, the little one once secretly observed the Nanjing Naval Division, and found that their warships, whether they were Fu ships, Haicang ships, Che Ke ships, or Cangshan ships, were already more than 20 years ago, and many warships had stopped on the water under the Purple Mountain, leaving them to decay. In the camp of the sailor, every day, I saw a few aging soldiers with three melons and two dates, under the shade of the trees, taking off their uniforms and eating lice. ”

"I can't imagine that Qi Shuai has been gone for many years, how can the military and government be so corrupted!"

Zhe Zhongxin listened to the prince's question but did not answer, but sighed deeply.

Zhu Changhao asked himself and replied, "These reasons were clearly considered when this king built the Fubo Water Division.

In the past, the threat of the Japanese was huge, but it was by no means fatal, and the greatest threat to our Ming Dynasty came from the nomadic cavalry of the Mongolian plateau.

The expeditions of the Hongwu and Yongle eras left the Mongols battered and divided, but when the Ming army declined, they launched a counterattack against the Ming. In the fourteenth year of Orthodoxy (1449), the Mongol army captured Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty and approached the capital, preventing the threat from the north and becoming the strategic center of the empire, so it was bound to retreat in the direction of the sea.

Moreover, most of the Ming officials in the court did not understand the importance of the water master, and instead appropriated the resources that should have been used for the water master.

After the opening of the Grand Canal, they transferred the sailors to the canal to transport grain, and the sailors became transport workers. More than seventy percent of the soldiers along the coast were sent to farm, thirty percent were sent to build ships, a large number of sailors were transferred to the capital to build palaces, and the manpower of coastal defense, which should have been used, was occupied by transportation, agriculture, and construction. The most shameful thing was that the short-sighted emperors embezzled a large amount of water and silver.

In the first year of Injong Honghee (1425), the money saved by stopping the sea expedition was used to reward the emperor's family.

In 1436, the construction of warships was greatly reduced, and funds were used to build the emperor's tomb.

Thirdly, the corruption of the Ming Dynasty regime and the backwardness of cleaning up the neighbors' ideas are also important reasons for the decline of the Ming Dynasty's sailors

The above words of the king tell you a fact: the Ming Dynasty is really corrupt, and the dangers brought by these corruption are obvious, the emperor appropriated the silver of the sailors, the eunuchs used the transport fleet, the officers withheld the salaries of the sailors, and used the warships for smuggling, all of which caused the exhaustion of the sailors.

At the same time, the entire court was mired in partisan disputes, and no one cared about the maritime interests of the Ming Dynasty. The danger of hài is obvious, but the obstacle of ideology is indeed imperceptible. The Daming Water Division will not decay, and until now, the main battle faction in the court has asked for the simplification of the Water Division to develop the Guanning Iron Cavalry. This king wants to burst into foul language, paralyzed, can't our Ming sailors set off from the sea and attack Huang Taiji, in this way, he Huang Taiji is still a fart? ”

(Writing here, the scholar is sighing, consulting a large number of historical materials, and found that our Ming Dynasty is not without capable people, but capable people are killed by living interests, and the mechanism is killed, many historical turning points have been led astray by such and such reasons, alas, don't say it, I will write here today, everyone subscribe, support the scholars)
