The death of Modan Khan. It caused the Mongolian tribes to brazenly become Dadong, Harawa, and Horqin departments, but there was not much reaction. Because they have long ceased to be the Mongol Great Khan. The Korqin Department took refuge in Houjin. The various divisions of Hara and Duoyan were partly attached to the Ming Dynasty and partly to the Jurchens.

The Chahar tribes of Southern Mongolia and the Khalkha tribes of Northern Mongolia prepared to attack the Ming Dynasty under the banner of avenging Lin Dan Khan. However. If the Mobei tribes wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty, they needed to use the road to Guò Monan, which was not allowed by the Mongol tribes in the southern part of the Mo. Everyone knows that all the tribes in the north of the desert want to occupy the fertile grasslands of the various tribes in the south of the desert, and it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods.

As a result, the Mongol tribes in southern Monan rejected the demands of the Mongol ministries in Mobei and independently undertook the task of avenging Lin Dan Khan.

The various tribes of Mobei Mongolia were already eyeing each other in order to compete for the new throne, and the three major forces of Tushetu Khan, Xiaoza Saktu Khan, and Chechen Khan contained each other. No one obeys anyone, and they all want to be the Great Khan of Mongolia.

In this way, the Mongol army that crusaded against the Ming Dynasty only had 100,000 troops from the Chahar tribes in Monan. However, in order to prevent the Northern Mongols from taking the opportunity to plunder their territory and livestock, the Southern Mongols finally left 80,000 troops to garrison, and only 20,000 troops knocked on the pass.

The 20,000 Chahar army was divided into two routes, all the way from naturalization, along the Hetao Plain, the soldiers and bees pointed directly to Datong Mansion in Shanxi. The other road along the Yellow River hit Ningxia Wei and Yulin Wei. For a time, from Helan Mountain in the west to Yanshan Mountain in the east, the passes of the Great Wall that are 1,500 miles long have been lit with beacon fires.

However, since the peace and mutual market agreement with Mongolia was reached, there has not been such a large-scale war for more than a decade. The armament of the Great Wall in the northwest was lax, even if only 20,000 Mongol troops knocked on the pass. The Great Wall in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty is each other. The pass was also unbearable, and they warned and warned the Beijing division urgently. Eight hundred miles of urgent official documents were sent to the Beijing Division, and the Ming Dynasty was still immersed in the joy of the victory in Jinzhou. I was dumbfounded.

The culprit is undoubtedly Li Xiaoqi of Liaodong Jingluo, but Li Xiaoqi is missing, and the ministers and scholars of the central government can't catch the scapegoat if they want to.

At this time, the peasant uprising in Shaanxi was surging, and Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was ordered to enter and suppress it, implementing the policy of focusing on pacification and supplementing it with suppression, in an attempt to break up the peasant uprising. Under the attack of the Ming army. In addition to the death of the rebels in the Shaanxi battlefield, many rebel army leaders accepted the imperial court's recruitment, showing a complex situation of rebellion from time to time.

Yang He's tactics were successful, but before he could wipe out all the rebels, a letter from the imperial court asked him to personally raise an army of bandits to defend against the Mongol invasion.

As a result, Yang He mobilized an army of 120,000 troops to rush to the aid of the Great Wall, leading some ordinary people who had just been pacified to revive and rebel again.

In the court, the emperor, Wei Zhongxian and the ministers knew that Yang Heti had a 120,000-strong army to guard the border, and they were immediately relieved and no longer worried about the Mongolian knock, and the proposal of Gu Bingqian, the minister and secretary of the ministry, to transfer Deng Haonan's Nanyang sailors to the south to suppress bandits was once again put on the agenda.

Fu Huang Liji was naturally still opposed, and the military department secretary urged Chengxiu, the household department secretary Ye Xianggao, the Ministry of Rites Shang and others began to talk about routine once a day again.

However, just as they were arguing, Wei Zhongxian suddenly spoke in support of Gu Bingqian's proposal. Deng Haonan's Nanyang Navy Division went south to suppress bandits. The reason is very simple, Wei Zhongxian finally stopped covering up the twists and turns of the Fujian Mansion and occupied Zheng Zhilong in the Quanzhou Mansion. The matter of controlling half of Fujian was shaken

hair

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse was suddenly shocked, did this pay it back? This is far more powerful than the peasant uprising in Shaanxi.

Wei Zhongxian's words, all the ministers didn't care if they flattered Wei Zhongxian, or they hated him. They all turned the wind and supported Gu Bingqian's mention. The Nanyang Naval Division of Na Haonan went south to suppress the bandits.

Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to contradict Wei Zhongxian, so that Deng Haonan's Nanyang Sailor and Gu Bingqian's Beiyang Sailor could contain each other, and then weaken Wei Zhongxian's henchmen. But after learning the news of Deng Haonan's rapid expansion of strength, he was even more worried that Na Haonan's tail would not fall. At the same time, Zheng Zhilong in the south threatens the economic and financial lifeline of the Ming Dynasty and cannot sit idly by. If Deng Haonan sailors go south to fight with Zheng Zhilong. It is in the interests of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao Lifu nodded in agreement, although Huang Liji tried every means to persuade him, he couldn't fight Wei Zhongxian in the end, so he could only give up.

When he returned home from the next dynasty, Huang Liji's cronies hurried to the Jinzhou fortress to deliver a letter to Deng Haonan. The letter asked Di Haonan to prepare in advance, but instructed him to only fight off Zheng Zhilong and drive him away, not to fight with all his might.

Huang Liji boasted that Deng Haonan was a member of his family, so he didn't want Di Haonan's strength to be damaged. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that Deng Haonan has his own ideas, how can it be that Huang Liji can influence?

※※

Let's say that Deng Haonan and his entourage took the Black Pearl to return to Liaodong, and arrived at the Lushun Naval Base in the middle of the night.

After a short rest, early the next morning, Na Haonan, accompanied by Shi Jianfei and other admirals, inspected the Lushun Naval Base.

Originally, she wanted to be with the fart Hai Lanzhu, but this girl took a boat for the first time, and she was seasick and dizzy. When I arrived in Lushun that night, I had already vomited tears, and the next day I was bedridden with eyes like pandas. Ding Daniu and a guard saw her pitiful wolf bèi, and the dissatisfaction caused by her previous abduction of Deng Haonan also smiled and no longer annoyed her.

There is a way, and the power of people is great!

With the support of huge financial resources and the help of skilled craftsmen at Longjiang Shipyard, Lushun Naval Base has been built. The scale is comparable to that of Longjiang Shipyard.

The Arthur shipyard dock is divided into twelve units, two of which are of 2,000 tons and eight of which are of 1,000 tons, which have already been built. The other two docks are of the 3,000-ton class, but because there is no experience in building 3,000-ton ships, only the dock slots have been dug out, and gantry cranes and other equipment have not been installed.

Two 2,000-ton docks can ensure that the construction of two Black Pearl-class warships can start at the same time. The other eight dockyards can be built as cruisers alone, or two frigates in parallel.

Inside dock No. 1, a large warship was moored. Na Haonan took a closer look and felt like the Dolphin-class cruiser he designed.

Shi Jianfei said: "That is the Dolphin cruiser, which has just finished its sea trials and is being overhauled and transformed!" Na Haonan asked, "How is the effect?" ”

Shi Jianfei said: "Overall satisfied!" It's just that the structure is not strong! ”

Na Hao nodded and said, "This is inevitable and normal!" ”

The cruiser Dolphin was obtained by directly enlarging the hull and adding a gun deck on the basis of the Exocet frigate. Because it is a wooden structure. It's not something that can be simply doubled. In addition, it adopts a new vertical ship and a long hull, and uses a soft sail drive with a high mast in the West. This inevitably leads to structural problems.

Of course, Deng Haonan can only talk about the battleship on paper, and roughly depict the hull of later generations, and the real work has to be explored by the craftsmen themselves. It takes a while for the minds of these craftsmen to get used to it. Then we can meet Deng Haonan's requirements.

There is also a large ship next to it, which seems to be the kind of Galen ship in Spain, but it is more like the fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Jianfei explained: "The one next to it is an experimental cruiser sent by Subic Naval Base. It was designed by the Zhao family shipyard in imitation of the Spanish Galen ship. Our craftsmen and mechanics are taking this ship into reference and adapting her merits to the Dolphin. ”

Na Haonan nodded, learning from each other's strengths, this is a good way. It seems that he has to try to get some advanced shipbuilding technology from the West, after all, people have been sailing for one or two hundred years, and they are far more experienced than the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, Di Haonan remembered the Exocet-class frigate built at the Longjiang Shipyard.

"How are the battleships in Longjiang built?"

Shi Jianfei knew what Deng Haonan was asking, so he said: "The first five batches of fifty frigates have been built. It is being tested in the old camp, and the recruits are in training. The remaining ten frigates are about the same. In another seven or eight days, the work was almost finished. ”

Na Haonan nodded, calculating the time, it has been almost half a year, and this batch of warships should be completed.

Then he inspected the Golden Stop. Forts defense system. This is the only defensive battery at the Arthur Naval Base. To the south, blockade the sea outlet of the military port, and to the east to defend the water surface in Dalian Bay. It does not have the scale of the first fortress in the Far East at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but it is enough to use it with the Golden State Fortress.

The right fit is the best!

In Dalian Bay, there are already many fishing boats, with the rapid increase in the population of Liaodong. The way of survival by the sea is a must. Thousands of people migrate here every day, bringing vitality to Liaodong, but also bringing huge food pressure.

Thinking of the food pressure, Di Haonan was not interested in inspecting Lushun again, so he hurriedly ended it and went to the Golden State Fortress instead.

The Golden State Fortress is much more lively than Lushun. Two months ago, it was the scene of "the traces of people disappearing in ten thousand paths", but now all kinds of people can be seen on the official roads along the way.

Lin Feng arranged a grand welcoming ceremony to welcome the people of Xiaojinzhou, and the crowds were crowded on both sides of the main street, and the cheers were endless. In the past, most of the people who went to the street to welcome them were forced by the local government, and they didn't smile when they stood on the street. What is different from the past is that this time the people are sincerely grateful to Deng Haonan and thank him for bringing them a stable life.

Originally, they were all refugees who had no food and clothing, but after arriving in Jinzhou, the Liaodong Governor's Office gave them interest-free loans to help them resume production and life, so this gratitude is from the heart.

When the people's true feelings are revealed, they naturally express themselves.

No, what's the matter. An eighty-year-old birthday star. As a representative of the people, pour wine for Na Haonan

Finish.

When a bowl of water and wine in a small pot is handed to Na Haonan, do you drink it or not?

Drinking it hurts the body, but not drinking hurts the feelings.

Damn it! Why do you use such a big wine bowl? Gratitude doesn't have to be like that!

Di Haonan rolled his eyes, but he still had to smile and express his gratitude.

Hai Lanzhu next to him looked at the big wine bowl, almost screamed, hurriedly covered his mouth, and secretly watched how Di Haonan drank it.

All eyes on it! If you don't drink it, you can't do it!

At this time, Lin Feng whispered to Na Haonan: "Has the principal forgotten that Yan Siqi's big wine bowl?" ”

Yes!

Di Haonan suddenly realized, how could he forget this stubble! At the beginning, Yan Siqi also used such a big wine bowl to persuade wine.

So Huh, Deng Haonan repeated his old skills, respecting the sky and the earth, and respecting the heroic spirit who died in the Golden State War in the middle.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

A large bowl of wine was poured by Deng Haonan, and only a small sip remained.

"!"

Di Haonan held the wine bowl high and signaled to the people on the left and right, drank the last drop of wine very dedicatedly, and then turned the empty bowl downward, signaling him to drink it all. Immediately, the people applauded and cheered warmly, and some even shouted a good amount of wine.

Di Haonan's face was not red and he didn't breathe, he returned the salute left and right, and Hai Lanzhu stared at Deng Haonan stupidly, and finally couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers were all famous. The lion dance organized by the common people began to welcome the meeting.

Na Haonan smiled bitterly in his heart, now that he has become a celebrity, this kind of social occasion will be indispensable in the future. So I had to stop for a while to celebrate with the people.

Tossed for more than two hours, until Na Haonan entered the Governor's Mansion, and after more than half an hour, the people outside gradually dispersed.

"Headmaster, take a break!" Na Haonan shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, I'll call a meeting immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Feng led the order to go out to make arrangements. Hai Lanzhu looked around at the Governor's Mansion, she has lived in yurts since she was a child, and when she saw such a magnificent Central Plains building, she naturally had to pay more attention to it.

"They call you Headmaster! What does the principal mean? ”

"There's a flower bed over there, let's go play by yourself!"

Hai Lanzhu was still waiting to follow, Deng Haonan waved his hand, Ding Da Niu understood, and his wall-like body suddenly blocked Hai Lanzhu's sight. And Na Haonan took the opportunity to leave and got rid of Hai Lanzhu's entanglement.

"Silly big man, get out of the way!"

Hai Lanzhu pushed Ding Da Niu a few times, but Ding Da Niu didn't move. I want to take a detour. Ding Da Niu flexibly blocked her. At this time, Deng Haonan had already walked away, and Hai Lanzhu suddenly stomped his feet. Staring at Ding Da Niu.

The big bull also stared back, and the two of them stared at each other with big eyes. After a long time, Hai Lanzhu was defeated and was soon defeated. Fortunately, the landscape in the Governor's Mansion is novel and beautiful, it is the middle of June, many flowers have bloomed, Hai Lanzhu quickly forgot about other things, immersed in the longing of the sea of flowers.

※※

In the conference room of the Governor's Mansion, the main personnel who stayed behind in the Golden State Fortress have arrived.

Before the meeting, Na Haonan received a message from Huang Liji, assistant minister of the cabinet.

Lin Feng said: "That's right! It is justified that we sent troops to suppress bandits, and Zheng Zhilong has been trading with the country for a long time, so we just use this. Under the pretext of waging war against the country, he robbed the granaries of the coastal areas of the country. ”

Although the latitude of the island country is the same as that of the northern region of Daming, the marine climate of the island country has not been affected by the severe Xiaoice climate. Although the grain production in the coastal areas has been somewhat reduced, it is much lighter than the drastic reduction in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

The trade between the Wei Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty was mainly silver and grain. It was exchanged for silk and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. Zheng Zhilong monopolized trade with the kingdom of Wei. Naturally, the supply of grain was also cut off, and to a certain extent, it also exacerbated the crisis of food shortage in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the imperial court has ordered Di Haonan to go south to suppress the bandits. Then it is a good time to take the opportunity to justifiably impose sanctions on the country, if the effect is good. Perhaps without the use of force, the Shogunate could cancel trade with Zheng Zhilong and instead trade grain to the Liaodong Governorate.

Qian Shun's plan to plunder the kingdom in order to obtain food was approved. For the specific action plan, Deng Haonan has set up a code name plan.

Originally, the plan was mainly to loot grain, supplemented by the war against Zheng Zhilong.

Now that the situation has changed, it seems that it is necessary to fight with Zheng Zhilong, and the grain trade of the country must be taken over.

"How is Zheng Zhilong's situation now?"

Since there is going to be a war, Di Haonan must first find out Zheng Zhilong's strength.

Lin Feng replied: "Zheng Zhilong has been expanding the armament war, and on the surface of the news from Quanzhou, Zheng Zhilong's sailors have at least 100 warships of 2,000 materials, more than 200 warships of 1,000 materials to 1,500 materials, and a total of more than 3,000 warships and boat divisions below 1,000 materials, and the number of naval troops has reached 120,000!" ”

Na Haonan gasped and secretly said that this Zheng Zhilong seemed to be ready to fight hard.

There are 100 thousand-ton warships, which looks very scary. However, Na Haonan knew that Zheng Zhilong's thousand-ton cruisers were not equipped with many guns due to structural problems, and the number of more than 20 guns per ship was basically equivalent to the firepower of frigates in the Pacific Fleet.

The rules of naval warfare that Zheng Zhilong believes in are still the law of pressing the number to one qiē.

"Where's our family?"

Lin Feng said: "Eleven cruisers, eighty frigates, and thirty gunboats!" However, eleven cruisers are on their way back, and according to the itinerary, there should be news in the next few days! ”

The Pacific Fleet escorted the trading fleet to Mexico for trade, and transported the goods worth 2.3 million taels of silver looted from Zheng Zhilong's Beigang merchant gang to the Americas for sale. At first, Lin Feng and the others thought that the Pacific Fleet had been sunk by the storm, but it was not until a few days ago that a clipper ship returned to the base of the Twin Islands and reported that it was safe.

Goods worth two ,300,000 taels of silver. Shipped to Mexico for sale, it is conservatively estimated to be worth 10 million taels.

Na Haonan suddenly asked, "How much money do we have left?" ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "There are only less than 170,000 taels of silver, if the Pacific Fleet doesn't come back, we should be in arrears of wages and salaries next month!" ”

"What?"

Na Haonan was stunned, his family seemed to have more than 10 million taels, plus the money and goods that had been robbed everywhere in the past half a year and the goods that had been sold in the past six months, totaling no less than 200,000 taels, why was there so much left?

If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!

After Lin Feng's explanation, Deng Haonan knew that in the past six months, although his family background has been solid, he has supported more people. Now his subordinates control nearly 80,000 troops, 200,000 workers, and 300,000 people.

Na Haonan rolled his eyes, and secretly said that he couldn't afford to feed less than 600,000 people with 20 million taels of silver, and the pitiful millions of taels of taxes in the imperial court, controlling the registered population of 50 million in the Ming Dynasty, might actually reach 80 million. Wouldn't it be harder to raise so many people?

Na Haonan patted his head, and said in his heart that he would be poor now. If you want to know what will happen next, please go to 6. More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! F
