Fan Wencheng's words made the anxious Huang Taiji feel a lot more relieved.

"That is to say, now you can't follow the circle of Emperor Ming, he beats his calculations, we Dajin, we should also have our own plans......" Huang Taiji seemed to say to Fan Wencheng, and seemed to be talking to himself.

Fan Wencheng opened his mouth a few times, wanting to take over the conversation, but he didn't take it, Huang Taiji's eyes were obviously not on him, but on the ground not far away, on the land farther away, and Songshan Fort.

“…… Xiandou seems to be always surrounding Songshan Fort like this, I'm afraid it won't work, I have to put some pressure on Songshan Fort, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will forget about this place. Huang Taiji seemed to have made up his mind and said.

"Chirp ......" Fan Wencheng responded, thinking in his heart, it seems that the city has to be attacked, and the siege will have to face the rain-like grenades, and it is necessary to dig a pit, Fan Wencheng also looked at his feet, stepped on it, and the soil began to soften, not as cold as before, you can dig it, but you can dig a hole, dig a hole,...... This kind of tough battle has never been Dakin's specialty, Songshan Fort, but it is a difficult bone to gnaw, even if it is really gnawed, how much can it gain? How many dead and wounded? Fan Wencheng's mind drifted farther and farther away.

……

Forbidden city.

Yang Reform is correcting homework, there are too many things, and there are more and more homework, Yang Reform has to take more time every day to change these homework, in addition to correcting homework, playing books or something, is also in the list of corrections, Yang Reform feels, this is more and more things every day, and there is less and less free time.

After correcting the homework and correcting several more books, Yang Reform suddenly turned to a somewhat interesting book.

This recital is the impeachment of Qi Zanyuan, a concubine, by an imperial historian, who impeached him for oppressing the common people, beating the common people, and asking for severe punishment. And the reason for beating the people, it is said, is to rob the people of what "patent", the people refused to sell, the horse must be bought, and then the talk collapsed, and then later, it was the common people who were beaten, and now, there is no way to get out of bed, this imperial history is very loyal to his duties, and he believes that it is the horse Qi Zan Yuan did.

Patent? This word, it has not appeared in Yang Reform's mind for a long time, this suddenly heard the word patent in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Reform is still a little unaccustomed, remember, there is indeed such a patent office, that is still made by himself last year.

"Otomo ......," Yang shouted.

"The slave is in ......," Wang Chengen hurriedly came in and agreed.

"Do you know about the beating of Qi Zanyuan?" Yang asked Gengai.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, the slave knows some, but ......" Wang Chengen replied, this matter is related to Jinyiwei, and the patent office is hanging under Jinyiwei, speaking of which, this matter is related to the patent office, and there is a suspicion of slapping the face of the patent office, otherwise, this kind of impeachment of the horse will not reach the emperor here, and the emperor may not have the heart to read it.

"Oh, what's going on? Let's talk about it. Yang Gengai said with some interest.

"Back to Your Majesty, the cause of the incident is probably for a certain patent ......," Wang Chengen began to say.

"Wait, for that patent?" Yang Reform immediately interrupted, since it involves patents, it must be a new thing, Yang Reform is interested, if it is worth investing, Yang Reform does not mind intervening.

"Back to Your Majesty, this patent, it seems to be a patent for what kind of briquettes, there is a coal worker who sends coal to make a kind of briquette ......, it seems to be called honeycomb coal or something, that is, a few holes are punched in the middle of the briquettes, and they look like honeycombs, and they are ...... like honeycombs, I heard that this kind of briquettes are burned, the fire is bigger, much cheaper than burning briquettes, and it is much cleaner, I heard that many people use this kind of honeycomb coal...... "Wang Chengen began to recall.

"Honeycomb coal? ...... "Yang Reform didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when Wang Chengen said it for a long time, Yang Reform finally came back to his senses, and Wang Chengen said honeycomb coal." Yang asked in surprise. …,

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, it's called honeycomb coal." Wang Chengen affirmed.

"Honeycomb coal......" Yang Gai stood up in surprise, and honeycomb coal was invented? It's a bit surprising, is this an explosion of technology?

"The conflict between the pony and the coal worker started because of this patent?" Yang Gengai asked in surprise.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, it is said that this honeycomb coal is cheap, clean, and has a lot of fire, and it burns a lot of people, and the horse wants to buy the patent of this honeycomb coal of this coal worker, and I heard that it is a thousand taels of silver, but this coal worker still refuses to sell, and then the coal worker was beaten, and it is estimated that he was later listened to by the imperial history...... "Wang Chengen explained, in fact, this is still their patent office, Jin Yiwei is fighting with the horse, the horse is a relative of the emperor, and the coal worker holds a patent, and the two parties fight, It can be regarded as a flood rushing into the Dragon King Temple, and this matter still has to be handed over to the emperor's holy judge, otherwise, the patent office will be slapped in the face, and he will not be able to live in the future.

"Oh, that's it, that's it, you send someone to the Horse Mansion, find him immediately, I want to ask him face to face......" Yang Reform said immediately.

"The slave obeys the order, and this will go ......," Wang Chengen agreed.

"By the way, besides, get some of that lotus root coal, I want to see what the hell is going on, and it's better to get a stove to burn honeycomb coal." Yang Reform said again, this matter, Yang Reform felt, must be paid attention to, he finally stimulated the creative enthusiasm of the craftsmen, just had some results, if he was slapped in the face casually, then wouldn't his efforts be in vain?

"Slaves obey," Wang Chengen replied.

"By the way, this matter is also related to the patent office, who is in charge of the patent office now? Call too. Yang Gengai thought about it for a while, and then said, judging from this matter, the patent office is not strong enough, but it is necessary to strengthen the energy of the patent office.

"Slaves obey," Wang Chengen replied.

Wang Chengen went to deliver the decree.

Yang Reform stepped up the correction of the notebook, striving to complete the correction as soon as possible, and then deal with this "patent" incident, which has a certain representativeness.

After a while, Wang Chengen came back to report.

"Your Majesty, the briquettes are here, it's just that this thing is very dirty......" Wang Chengen was embarrassed to report, the emperor wants to see the briquettes, it's nothing, but this briquettes are too dirty, if you get it to the Qianqing Palace, it is really unseemly.

"Oh, I know, when this book is finished...... Yang Reform rushed to work for a while, and he had already corrected the few remaining homework, and after the last book was completed, he came out of the Qianqing Palace.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, these little eunuchs gathered around something.

Yang Gai saw at a glance that this is indeed honeycomb coal, the appearance is no different from the honeycomb coal of later generations, but the holes of the honeycomb are a little different from those of later generations.

"What kind of honeycomb coal is this?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is honeycomb coal, speaking of which, although it is a few holes in the middle of the briquettes, but this hole, the firepower of this furnace is very different, before burning briquettes, the inside is not clean, now this hole, the briquettes are basically burned clean, therefore, the firepower is large, it is also clean, there is no smoke, now, many people, but use this......" Wang Chengen explained busily.

"Oh, I know, and the stove? I didn't see a furnace" Yang Gengai looked at the honeycomb coal for a while, and then asked, there is only coal here, but I don't see the stove. Wang Chengen was about to answer, but a little eunuch came to the side, very hurried. …,

"Your Majesty, Liaodong Urgent News" a little eunuch hurriedly reported.

"Liaodong's? What's the matter? Yang Gengai hurriedly asked, isn't Liaodong very peaceful now? Why is there an urgent report all of a sudden?

"Back to Your Majesty, Elder Sun Ge said that the Dongyu are attacking the city in a big way," the little eunuch hurriedly said.

"Siege? Finally start fighting Songshan Fort? Yang Gengai muttered to himself, when he heard about the siege, his first reaction was that the wild boar skin hit Songshan Fort.

"Let's go, go to the platform." Yang Gai immediately went to the platform, and after four months, the wild boar skin finally couldn't hold it anymore, and it was finally about to attack the city.

Platform.

Sun Chengzong was already waiting, and when he saw the emperor coming, he immediately saluted, and the atmosphere in the platform was suddenly more tense than usual.

"How, Master Sun?" Yang Gengai asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the latest news now is that the Dongyu is attacking the city on a large scale, on the fourth day of the new year, the grenade rang off all night, according to the approaching Tanma, the method of attacking the city is the same as Zhenjiang Fort, the same is digging ......a pit," Sun Chengzong explained.

"Oh, it seems that Dongyu has also come back to his senses, and now I'm afraid I can see something......" Yang Gai listened to Sun Chengzong's words and muttered to himself.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Dongyu has seen something, and I'm afraid that he is forcing me to send troops to the DPRK." Sun Chengzong said.

"Hehe, yes, it's time to send troops to rescue" Yang Reform said with a smile, for a long time, Yang Reform has been playing with wild boar skin, letting Yuan Chonghuan implement the strategy of tens of thousands of people to explore horses, so that wild boar skin thinks that this is reinforcements, and has been fighting with Yuan Chonghuan, in fact, Yang Reform is stepping up military training to buy time for himself. And the wild boar skin is estimated to be concerned about the loss of the siege, and has not been forced to attack the city, but only to the death, which makes Songshan Fort a lot easier, but after fighting with Yuan Chonghuan for a few months, it is estimated that the problem is coming, so now the siege begins.

"Your Majesty, yes, I'm afraid that Dongyu knows something, so he rushed to attack the city, thinking that he should have forced me to send troops, Yuan Ziru is there, I'm afraid it won't last long." Sun Chengzong said that it was okay for Yuan Chonghuan to fight a scout war with Dongyu, and he really wanted Yuan Chonghuan to go to Songshan Fort, which must be to deliver food, so he had been fighting scouts all the time, and Yuan Chongyuan had never been the main force.

"Hmm......" Yang Reform snorted, disguised for a few months, dragged Dongyu for a few months, it was not bad, it bought a lot of time for the white pole soldiers, and this was enough, even if the Tartars know something now, time has passed, and it is impossible to chase it back, but since the Tartars have discovered their intentions, then, they have to step up.

"Master Sun, how long will it take for Lei Dayong to come back?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, you can go to Tianjin in about mid-term." Sun Chengzong replied.

"It's only a few days in the middle of the month, but it's just in time." Yang Reform said, the wild boar skin at this point in time suddenly attacked, rushed to attack Songshan Fort, this is a good time, although Songshan Fort is more dangerous, but in some things, it is more conducive to their own actions.

Lei Dayong's fleet is about to arrive in Tianjin, that is to say, the Northern Fleet, or the day of the establishment of the Northern Navy, is also coming, and now there is just a wild boar skin rushing to attack Songshan Fort, which is to lay the foundation for the unification of maritime affairs, since it is necessary to rescue Songshan Fort, since it is necessary to open up a second battlefield, this cross-sea landing is necessary, tens of thousands of people across the sea, but not to say that it is a joke, this maritime power, naturally unified, the establishment of the navy, that is, natural, by the pressure of the rapid attack of the East Prisoner, as long as they exert some pressure slightly, You can achieve your goals, and once the navy is built, don't think about disbanding it again.

Yang Reform thought for a while, he didn't worry about Songshan Fort at all, but he was in a good mood, to be honest, Yang Reform was not very worried about Songshan Fort, Songshan Fort had three thousand people to defend, and the Tartars wanted to take it down, with their bows and arrows? This difficulty is not ordinary, Songshan Fort is a regular brick city guard, and the bricks are outside, but it is not comparable to Zhenjiang Fort. If you really want to fill in with human life, how much do you have to fill? Five thousand or ten thousand? Can tartars be filled? Now, the reason for the rush is not to force himself to have to rescue, well, this opportunity, I can't ask for it, Yang Reform figured it out, and his expression relaxed. Speaking of which, that's a good thing. …,

"Your Majesty, do you want Yuan Ziru to be more active? Do more movements? Sun Chengzong knew what the emperor wanted to do, and when he heard the emperor say that the time was just in time, he understood what the emperor was referring to, thought about it, and also proposed, let Yuan Chonghuan be more active, that is, to make things bigger, to report more urgently or something, so that the eyes of the court can take a more look at Liaodong, and the courtiers are forced to be anxious by the Dongyu, and they will not be too opposed to the emperor's collection of sea power, after all, the Dongyu is a big trouble.

"Well, then there is Master Lao Sun, and in addition, I will also send a letter to Mao Wenlong, that is, Songshan Fort is tight, let him step up the offensive, and put more pressure on Dongyu, of course, pay attention to protect himself...... Yang Reform said.

"Obey the order," Sun Chengzong said.

"Let those bounty hunters work harder, and now it's time to help." Yang reformed and arranged.

"Obey the order," Sun Chengzong agreed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not necessary to prepare a group of ships and men in advance to prepare on Juehua Island, in case Songshan Fort can't resist, you can also let these people go ashore immediately to attract the attention of the Dongyu......," Sun Chengzong suggested.

"Well, this matter, Master Sun will look at it, now there is still a month before June, and by the end of June, there are still two months, in these two months, Songshan Fort still has to be carried, and it is right to make more preparations." Yang Gengai nodded and agreed to Sun Chengzong's proposal. Now, it is just a matter of grabbing time, it will take some days to operate the sea power on his side, and it will take more days for the training of the white pole soldiers, so it is better to try to gain some time.

"The minister obeys the order," Sun Chengzong agreed again.

"How is Old Madam Qin's practice?" Yang asked again. This killer weapon for dealing with wild boar skin, Yang Reform has always been very concerned, and often asked, and now it's time to play.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is going according to expectations, because of the live ammunition practice regardless of the cost, the progress is quite fast, and I already have the initial strength to fight with Dongyu." Sun Chengzong replied again.

"Oh, that's good, also tell Old Madam Qin, just say that Dongyu is attacking Songshan Fort in a hurry, and the time to go to the battlefield may be advanced, let Old Madam Qin be as prepared as possible, I ask to be able to go to the battlefield with an order." Yang Gai said.

"The minister obeys the order," Sun Chengzong agreed again.

"Are there enough ships across the sea?". Yang asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the ships that cross the sea, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, you can organize a sufficient fleet at will, and with Your Majesty's prestige and reputation, it is not difficult at all." Sun Chengzong was not worried about this matter, and immediately packed the ticket, now the emperor himself will not talk about the ship, the ship of the guard may be almost in battle, but it is no problem to transport people, and there are many merchant ships, in addition to the maritime merchants who have taken refuge in the emperor, there are many maritime merchants who are ready to take refuge in the emperor, and the requisition of these ships is not a big problem, besides, the emperor now gives subsidies to all shipbuilders, just by virtue of this, there is no one who dares not to buy the emperor's account, so, requisition enough ships to transport the logged officers and soldiers, That's really fine, even if it's a one-time shipment, it's not impossible.

"Well, that's good, the matter of ships, there should be a certain number at all times, and in case the situation at Songshan Fort changes, there must be enough ships to transport the troops across the sea." Yang added.

"Obey the order," Sun Chengzong said again.

"Well, that's good, now, everything is almost ready, it depends on Songshan Fort, it's best to resist June." Yang Gai said again.

Sun Chengzong didn't say anything. Now it is May, from the original arrangement of June, but a month, in general, this year's arrangements are very smooth, basically in accordance with the design of the General Staff, the East Lu this time suddenly became abnormal, suddenly rushed to attack Songshan Fort, although a little unexpected, but, it does not affect the overall situation, the white pole soldiers have been practicing live ammunition for several months, and the new army has been running in for a while, can already go to the battlefield, even if they go to the battlefield now, they will not necessarily suffer.

"Your Majesty, do you want to recall Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao? Against the Mongols, the new army was enough. Sun Chengzong asked again.

"This, not for the time being, you still have to guard against the Mongols, I heard that recently, the Mongols are a little restless." Yang Reform thought about it and said, since the implementation of various votes in the horse market, those Mongolian tribes who are not the emperor's army have begun to be restless, and there is a suspicion of tandem, and they seem to be about to move, Yang Reform doesn't mind cleaning up the Mongols, those waste wood, the Ming Dynasty army beat them, and they have a very psychological advantage, even if they don't do it, Yang Reform plans to find an excuse to move ......them.
