Chapter III: Disputes
ps: New books for newcomers, please recommend and collect, thank you.
After a long time, Zhao Haiming sighed, "Mr. Li, you can't do anything seriously. ”
Li Mingyu snapped and closed the folding fan, "Dong Weng, although the world is unpredictable, but what Gongzi said is probably not false, there is a famine in the north of my Ming Dynasty every year, and the construction of slaves is vicious, and it is frightening to peek at the capital outside the gate." ”
"Isn't the northern captives also able to fight on horseback, but now it's only a problem of ringworm, how can Jiannu be so rampant." Zhao Haiming is no longer entangled in the fields, and with his experience, he already recognizes that civil strife is possible, but although Jiannu is strong in battle, it will not be a catastrophe.
"Father, now the northern captives are divided into several major departments, attacking each other constantly, infighting is not stopped, every time the south attacks the Ming Dynasty, most of them are several tribes on their own private affairs, looting the border land, never dare to go deeper, and my Ming border army engaged in the battle casualties one or two percent are all scattered, real horse bandits, and Jiannu dominates Liaodong, the old slave dominates the Eight Banners, a country of its own, Salhu, Liaoshen led tens of thousands of elite soldiers, millions of acres of fertile land and millions of Han people, as well as millions of taels of silver left by my Liao Town, and then use military discipline to restrain and reward looting, and everyone dares to fight and is willing to fight. I am strong and dormant, and the chaos of the Ming Dynasty will be devoured, and I will be paid to prevent the construction of slaves, and the people will be in turmoil, which has become a trend of internal and external collusion, and the chaos is endless. Zhao Lie said earnestly.
Zhao Haiming was pacing back and forth indoors, extremely irritable.
"Childe can solve the confusion of the old decay, what is the risk of waiting for the water master to wait." Li Mingyu shook the folding fan again, looking very leisurely and with an excellent bearing.
Zhao Lie arched his hand to Li Mingyu, and admired Li Mingyu's stability very much.
"Mr. Li, in recent years, my Ming Ma Bu Army has suffered heavy losses, and the imperial court has a headache for this, and is trying to make up for it, as for our sailors, we have already been shelved by the imperial cabinet, and from today onwards, I am afraid that our sailors will not have much to replenish the warships, and it is not bad to be able to maintain the current scene. Moreover, Denglai Dongjiang is one, Dongjiang and Liaodong are constantly fighting, and the front combat strength is insufficient, so that we and other sailors guard the grain and straw to the front, at this time, the old slave divides the troops to attack, which is a big risk, you must know that the old slave is used to cutting off the enemy's grain road, and my uncle is so warless Liaodong. Finally, if I were an old slave, in order to attack the mountains and seas of Ningjin to the west, I would definitely attack the Dongjiang River and North Korea first to eradicate the troubles. Zhao Lie looked at Zhao Haiming and Li Mingyu, and the two of them were waiting for each other, "The combat strength of the two places must be insufficient, Dongjiang can only give up Tieshan and other places, and retreat to Phi Island and other places, while North Korea is invincible, so it can only surrender." The North Korean sailors may take refuge in Jiannu to attack the Ming Dynasty, so that the troubles have been eliminated, and the Jiannu can go all out to defeat the Ming, enter the Koujing Division, and even sweep Shandong, and Denglai is not guaranteed. "Zhao Lie is not nonsense, Denglai was attacked by Jiannu from the sea before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and the North Korean sailors also aided in the abuse, but Zhao Lie didn't know the specific year when this happened.
"The child is talking nonsense, there are Ningyuan, mountains and seas in the east, and the stability of Mount Tai, and the slave chieftains can enter." Zhao Haiming's eyes were about to split, his beard under his jaw trembled, he was extremely angry, and he was so aggrieved.
Mr. Li smiled, the second son is young, although he has some knowledge, but he still doesn't think about it, the Liaozhen garrison is not enough, but there is more than enough to defend, and the defense line of Liaoxi that is piled up with two million taels of silver a year in the Ming Dynasty can't be held, and what is the use of Liaozhen.
"If I build a slave, enter the Mongolian steppe, pass through Duoyan, enter the Kou from Jizhen, approach the Beijing Division, force Liaozhen, Shanhai, Jizhen, Xuanda and other border troops to come to help, and break it in the field on the way, the great rivers and mountains of North China, and the rich towns around Jinggi are at my disposal, who can control it."
"Sss Zhao Haiming tore off a few beards and was silent, after all, he had been in battle for a long time, this army was slightly very smart, Horqin and Duoyan fell to Jiannu, it is well known in the Ming officialdom, Jiannu entered the Ming Dynasty through here, and attacked several passes guarded by only hundreds of soldiers with tens of thousands of troops, it is not difficult to capture, after all, dozens of passes on the first line of the Great Wall of Jizhen are guarded by troops, and each place has limited troops.
Li Mingyu looked at Zhao Haiming, and it could be seen from Zhao Haiming's face that Zhao Lie's words were true, and Zhao Haiming, who was old in the army, did not refute it, his heart sank, and he forgot to shake the fan for a while.
"Before the arrival of the army of King Qin in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu should be able to return with Dingkou wealth and goods, so attack the middle of the Ming Dynasty, destroy the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and strengthen the strength and military prestige of Jiannu. Jiannu can go once in three years and five years, as long as the strength of Daming Gyeonggi recovers, it can be harvested......"
"I will come back once in three years and five years, and no one cares about me when I am Ming." Zhao Haiming couldn't help interrupting Zhao Lie anymore, and he was angry.
"If there is no enemy in the field, of course Jiannu dares to come, dare to fight, who can control it, when the Beijing Qishan River is broken, Dingkou women plunder as slaves, and the property is occupied, and Jiannu must be concocted as such." Zhao Lie was unmoved by Zhao Haiming's anger and continued to sprinkle salt.
With a snap, the tea bowl was affected, Zhao Haiming's chest rose and fell, his eyes were wide open, he was really unwilling as a general of the Ming Army.
"I'm afraid that Jiannu didn't notice it for a while, and I don't know." Li Mingyu said with a wry smile that he was also extremely ashamed of his own family, and he actually put his hope into the hands of the enemy.
"Father, if you fight against the enemy and can't hold each other for a long time, you will definitely divide your forces and detour back to the enemy's side in an attempt to break the situation, I don't know if it is or not." Zhao Lie continued to increase the weight.
"Uh, yes, then ......" Zhao Haiming's entanglement, if he is he, he will definitely attack the enemy in such a roundabout way, invincible in the field, he is very afraid, just let him admit this, that is, admit that the Ming disaster is ahead, this is okay, Zhao Haiming's face twitched, and his expression was painful.
This time, even Li Mingyu couldn't sit still, he got up and paced quickly, the folding fan in his hand kept flipping, and muttered in his mouth, "If you can't help it, if you can't help it." ”
"You have the beginning, and you will cut off the tail." Zhao Haiming was so angry that he didn't have the bearing of a Ming Sanpin master.
Zhao Lie was slandered, you are also a commander from the third grade, and there is no calmness in the battle.
"Father, for my family, accumulate money and food, expand strength, stabilize the place inside, and resist the enemy outside the territory, this is the only feasible way in troubled times." Zhao Lie said solemnly.
Zhao Haiming looked at Zhao Lie fixedly, although Zhao Haiming is a military general, but he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to sit in his current position, he heard Zhao Lie's meaning, in the troubled times, only the knife and gun in his hand are the most reliable, however, acting like this, one step closer is a warlord, in the Ming Dynasty, the realm of literature and martial arts, the risk of acting like this is not asked.
Zhao Lie stood with his chest straight, his eyes looking straight at him, confident and firm.
"You go back and rest first, and then discuss with Mr. Li for your father." Zhao Haiming finally spoke.
Zhao Lie retired, what should have been said has been said, I believe that my father has his own decision.
Zhao Lie, the initiator, left, and threw a lot of problems to the old two, the fire and candle in the study were lit overnight, and the two also argued and discussed all night, and when the sky was bright, Zhao Haiming leaned on the chair tiredly. "Mr. Li, there really is no other way."
"Dong Weng, we discussed all night, after all kinds of considerations, if there is no accident, the future of the Ming Dynasty is worrying......" Li Mingyu's face was gloomy, a night's fatigue was written on his face, he and Zhao Haiming discussed all night, considering all kinds of things, Da Ming is clearly deep in the mud, the construction of slaves has become a momentum, the variable is just how big the civil unrest within the Ming Dynasty can be, although the Ming Dynasty may not immediately have the risk of overturning, but the situation is extremely not optimistic, land annexation is a dead knot, from Li Mingyu's own experience has been the situation of the Zhao family, Fools also know that the people who pay taxes will be less and less, and the state has increased greatly, what to do with the difference between them, the court only has to add endowments, there is no other way, but this is to drink to quench thirst, a little experience will understand, if there is no great enemy outside, the Ming Dynasty may survive for more than ten years, but Jiannu has become bigger, of course, will not be indifferent to the civil strife of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty encounters a disaster and civil strife, Jiannu can hold back and not make a move, that is strange. As for the famine, there are disasters in the north of the Ming Dynasty every year, but they are just big and small.
This made the two of them uneasy, after all, everyone was serving the bowl of rice of Daming, or the more dangerous Denglai general, and now this bowl of rice is about to break, gone, what to do next, for the sake of the family, we must take precautions.
Early in the morning, Zhao Lie ran five miles with his companions as usual, had breakfast, came to the water village, boarded the Fuhai, Fuhai is a large Fu ship, more than ten zhang long, full load of more than 200 tons, more than one zhang of draft, tall as a building, the tail building is particularly high, the bow of the ship is an imitation of the Hongyi cannon, in addition to the left and right sides of each have four Furlong machines, the ship is also equipped with rockets, more than ten Lu Mi guns, fifty spears, nearly 100 waist knives, 30 iron shields, 300 heavy arrows, 3,000 light arrows, all placed on the lower two decks, the original ship is divided into armor, sailors, archers, gunners, There are more than 100 craftsmen and other craftsmen, each in charge of their own stalls, the well water does not violate the river water, and the division of labor is clear, but in fact, the stall is insufficient, you must know that there are only more than 100 people on the ship, and the division is too clear, once the naval battle is fierce and the personnel are seriously damaged, how to replenish the combat power at that time.
So, as soon as Zhao Liefang took over the Fuhai, he organized the crew on board:
Fifteen sailors operate, maintain and repair the ship.
The armor group of 20 people is armed with spears, waist knives, iron shields, and armor.
The fifteen members of the artillery group mainly operated the Hongyi cannon, the Furang machine, and the tiger squat cannon.
Fifteen members of the fire gun group are armed with Lu Mitong
The bow and crossbow group is composed of fifteen people, armed with bows and crossbows and rockets.
The group of ten people has a heavy meal
Zhao Lie and his companions
There were 130 or 40 people on board, and all of them had to be proficient in the use of cold weapons.
The fire crew must also be able to operate the gun, after all, the gun crew is on the deck, and once the engagement, it is likely that it will be greatly damaged, and someone will have to be on top of it at that time.
The leaders of each group have become chiefs, so the artillery commander, the first captain, the boatswain, and the gang commander are flying all over the sky, and all kinds of meat words are interspersed, and there are many jokes. After two months, the Fuhai finally calmed down.
Zhao Lie walked to the boat and patted the heavy side of the ship, "What a camphor tree, Yu Dabao, how many such big trees do you say there are in Shandong now." ”
"I don't know, my lord." Yu Dabao said in a sullen voice, his dark face was full of honesty, and there were three words of not turning.
"Your Excellency, you want to build a ship." Du Li asked on the side.
"Du Li is clever enough," Zhao Lie gave a thumbs up, "I have too few sailor warships." ”
"It's quite a few, and many of the warships here have nothing to do." Yu Dabao said in a muffled voice.
Yu Dabao is not wrong in what he said, the sand boats of the Weihai Division, Haicang and other sentinel ships are smuggling, collecting taxes, and patrolling the sea, each of them is busy, but the large lucky boat has nothing to do. There is no need at all, in this sea area, not to mention the Dengzhou Naval Division, that is, the Denglai Naval Division, that is, the invincible existence.
But is there really nothing to do, the Western navy is attacking everywhere like chicken blood, busy for the interests of their own country, and the Daming Navy is drowsy. Zhao Lie looked westward, walked to the cabin with a long sigh, and several companions behind him looked at each other, and then followed.
The morning meeting of the Fuhai began, and several team leaders had already arrived, which was Zhao Lie's arrangement.
"Commander Lu, you speak first." A few people on the side frowned.
Lu Yuan saluted with a slightly red face, "My lord, the artillery has been wiped, and the gunpowder and cannon are complete." ”
"Captain Li."
"My lord, sixteen branches can be used for Lu Mi Gong, and two branches are damaged, and the recent practice has been too much, and the damage is getting worse day by day." Li Shan bowed and said.
"I'll go to the treasury with the official to exchange for it."
"My lord, there are still six pieces of armor missing on the ship." Meng Gangjia said.
"Captain Ye, I will fill the room with rice and noodles in a while, you must know that this battle will take a long time." Zhao Lie commanded with a smile.
The chubby Ye Ning hurriedly bowed down in response. He knew how powerful Lord Zhao Lie was, and he bought him last time and swallowed a tael of silver, and after Zhao Lie found out, he beat him with twenty military sticks, and here the Lord woke up with him.
