Chapter 599 Sealing the Sea and Forcing Trade

Beijing Forbidden City Heart Cultivation Palace, "Yun Xiang, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, and Mar Sai stared at Yongzheng tightly, Yongzheng's face was pale, and they were about the same. In September, it was also hot in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but everyone's hearts were too cold, and there was no sweat on their bodies.

"Although the Jingshan Cannon Factory has been instructed by the Spaniards to make 3,000 catties of copper cannons that shoot ten catties of guns, the craftsmen are not familiar with the skills, and it is the limit to be able to make 300 guns within a year.

"There are already Spanish instructors in the Xishan camp who are practicing day and night, but the time is still short, and if you want to fight against the Nanban, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch it."

"The Dagukou Fort is working day and night, and the expansion project will take at least half a year."

The reports of the ministers of military aircraft are not good news, and Yongzheng is pinching the hand of the collapsed handle.

Seeing that the preaching work of "The Mystery of the Great Righteousness" is entering a high tide, although Yongzheng's reputation among the people is still difficult to compare with Kangxi, the authority has reached a new peak, and the new policy has also begun to improve in the local area.

At this moment, Ru Xi slammed a thunderbolt on Yongzheng's head.

Li Xian said, "Open up the south of the Yangtze River, and let the north and south be free from trade, otherwise I will raise the army to the north and never die." ”

Yongzheng was first frightened and his legs weakened, and then he was overjoyed, he thought he had grabbed Li Shi's handle. The place was controlling the north-south exchanges, but he didn't expect it to be such a move, and Li Xi actually jumped up like a tiger with its tail stepped on.

Ru Xi poured him a basin of cold water again, "Blocking the north-south trade route, Li Xi is uncomfortable, and we are no better." He still has Nanyang to toss, what about us? According to the concubine's knowledge, the current grain price in Jiangnan is thirty percent higher than that of Kangxi in the 50th year, and it is not for the commercial goods with the south, and the people of Jiangnan can't even afford to eat.

Ru Xi doesn't know much about national politics, but these words reminded Yongzheng that the price of grain in Jiangnan is high, and the background is complicated. First of all, Hunan was occupied by the Nanban, and most of the grain and rice used to melancholy Jiangnan was missing. Secondly, due to the cotton silk weaving in Nanban Guangxing, the area of cotton fields in the south of the Yangtze River is getting larger and larger, and the grain fields are naturally less.

If the north-south trade route is cut off, the people of Jiangnan can plant back grain and rice, and the gap can be filled, after all, Jiangnan grain can still be self-sufficient, but the process is very long, who knows what kind of movement can be made in that place in Jiangnan?

The separation between the north and the south seems to be a lose-lose affair, but Li Shi only hurt the flesh and skin, but he may hurt the root of his life. Only then did Yongzheng faintly understand why Kangxi and Wu Sangui fought in the dark when they were in the first peaceful three domains, but they never cut off the trade route, which can be related to the life and death of both parties.

Li Xianruo only asked to return to the usual situation, Yongzheng was afraid that he would pinch his nose and admit it, but now this request has greatly crossed the line. In Jiangnan, self-reliance on trade? He is not a stupid person, and he can see at a glance that Li Shi is going to attack Jiangnan.

Li Xi has long had influence in Jiangnan, there is a Jiangnan ticket house in Suzhou, and even Hushu Pass in Suzhou is managed by the Jiangnan ticket bank, and it is about to expire at the end of the year. The Jiangnan Three Weaving represented by Li Xu is dependent on the silk weaving industry of Nanban, and behind them, there are millions of people who spin silk and pick cotton to live on Nanban.

Rong Nanman squandered himself in Jiangnan for spending money, and Jiangnan could stay under the rule of the Qing Dynasty for a few years? Three years? Five years?

Yongzheng didn't dare to think about it, and he would never agree to Li Shi's request.

To this end, he urgently summoned the Minister of War and Aircraft to discuss the war between the North and the South.

The courtier's answer was very direct, even if he relied on the guidance of the Spaniards who had been scattered from Luzon, it would not end well if he started a war with the Nanban now.

Yongzheng thought angrily: "I just cleaned up people's hearts, so Li Shi jumped out and touched Jiangnan, did he mean it!?" ”

Here is the Mar track: "The current situation is critical, even if you plan for the worst, the court has few generals who have insight into Nanban." ”

The ministers echoed one after another, not to mention the troops and armaments, and without the generals who knew about the southern barbarians, this battle could not be fought.

Yongzheng was helpless, so he could only pull up a person he originally planned to trample to death, hoping that this person could still play some value.

The situation between the north and the south suddenly became tense, and Yue Zhongqi was also stained, he was really sealed by the brave general, sitting in Xi'an, still leading the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and using Sichuan and Shaanxi money and grain to support the north-south war that might break out in the west.

And Nian Qianyao, who was thrown to Shengjing, was restored to the Minister of Military Aircraft, the University Scholar and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and was actually accepted as a general in Hangzhou, leading the soldiers and horses of the two rivers, and preparing to fight with Yinghua. But Yongzheng was still not at ease with him, cut off his right to money and food, and let Li Wei take charge of the soldiers and horses of the two rivers green battalion with Nian Qianyao. …,

After Nian Qianyao received the order in Shengjing, he smiled bitterly at Zuo Weisheng, a staff member who had been accompanying him: "I went to be a decoration, the battlefield in Jiangnan is either on silver or on the sea." ”

Although it is an ornament, he can get rid of the fate of this exile, and Nian Qianyao is naturally happy. During this period, he thought a lot outside the gate, and when Yongzheng set off the "Mystery of the Great Righteousness" to preach the high tide, he finally woke up to the fact that he was too domineering before, and actually ignored the majesty of imperial power.

The rapid advance and distorted history changed the fate of Nian Qianyao, and when he rushed to Hangzhou with Zuo Weisheng, he had already made up his mind to regain Yongzheng's trust.

Yongzheng was nervously arranged in the north, and there was no response to Li Shi, and Li Shi did not wait. In September of the fourth year of the Holy Dao, two battleships, the 100,000 Dashan and Wuyishan, and four Xinhai shark ships, including the Lianjiang, "took more than a dozen county-level Xinhai carp ships and headed north."

Yinghua couldn't draw the army at this time, but the navy was still idle, except for the fleet brought by Xiao Sheng to Ryukyu, the remaining strength was enough to complete the task assigned by Li Xian.

Sweeping the Jiangnan Naval Division of the Qing court, the waters of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, must be completely controlled by the Anglo-Chinese fleet.

"Wowhaha...... I'm finally on my own! ”

On the helm of the 100,000 Great Mountain, Meng Songhai looked up to the sky and laughed. Hu Hanshan is located in Luzon Hanshan Port, and Bai Yanding is located in Funan Yingyang Port. Lu Hanshan, who returned from Europa, replaced Xiao Sheng and supervised the construction of the second self-produced battleship Huashan at the Whampoa Shipyard.

Liu Songding, who has been transferred from the captain of the Black Cat of the Military Intelligence Department to the governor of the Naval Intelligence Department, reported: "Wenzhou, Taizhou, Ningbo, and Hangzhou have all found the inner line, and the situation and hydrology of the naval division are under control, and Zhejiang will have to wait for a while." ”

Meng Songhai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Take it easy! Our task is to let the Tartar sailors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have no sails to go to sea! Just clean up all the way! ”

Bai Zhengli got on the helm, and the general of the Fubo Army, who had returned from the west, was also the first time to lead the people all the way, and he asked Liu Songding: "Have you grasped the situation of the Dinghai Qing Army?" ”

Liu Song fixed his head: "Six or seven old cannons, and the fort plus the Xuntang soldiers does not exceed five hundred." ”

Bai Zhengli frowned: "That's it?" ”

Meng Songhai said: "What else do you want?" There are always groups of Qing soldiers for you to clean up, and it is difficult for me to expect that there will be groups of Qing soldiers and warships who dare to go to sea. ”

Meng Songhai's complaint is a portrayal of the current situation of the Qing court sailors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, two majestic giant ships, plus more than a dozen fast ships, carrying four or five hundred cannons, all the way north from Wenzhou, as if to clean, the Qing court sailors and warships are bombed one by one. Not only did the sea not let go, but the warships at anchor were also brazenly touched into the harbor by the sea carp ships, and they were cleaned up like a target.

When the fleet invaded Dinghai and killed seven people and wounded more than 20 people, the Qing soldiers stationed in Dinghai were cleaned up, and the Zhejiang Qing soldiers and local officials became a mess. Previously, Fan Shiyi, the governor of Zhejiang, was killed by the Nanban fleet, and now the Nanban Naval Division is heading north, is it intended to occupy Zhejiang?

"The Nanban occupies Dinghai, but Dinghai is used as a place for water supply, looking at its military strength, there are no red-clothed soldiers yet, they are all blue-clothed sailors, and it is not enough to attack Zhejiang."

"I heard that Xiao Sheng, the chief chief of the Nanban Naval Division, led another fleet to Ryukyu and stayed in Ryukyu for three months and did not return, so he should have encountered trouble, and the Ryukyu affair involved Japan, so it was not possible to be good for a while. The slave thought that the Nanban water division was only used to coerce the imperial court, and did not have the heart to fight to the death. This enemy is slack, and there are no reinforcements from outside, so it is a good opportunity to destroy it in one fell swoop! ”

"The slave bears the enmity of his family and country, and he does not share the sky with the Nanban. I hope that the master will grant the right of the Jiangnan Navy Division, and the slave will sacrifice his life to serve the king, and only this one will win! ”

Hangzhou, Zhejiang Governor Yamen, the new Zhejiang Governor Fan Shijie dried the ink, handed the fold to his family, and asked him to send it to the capital urgently.

Fan Shijie has already explained Li Wei and transferred the Jiangsu Naval Division to him, plus the Naval Division who is still in Hangzhou Bay, he can still make up thirty or forty warships and two or three thousand naval division soldiers. Taking advantage of the fact that Nian Qianyao had not yet arrived, he still had the right to do his own thing, so he hurried to fight this fight.

Thinking of the death of his brother Fan Shiyi, Fan Shijie was full of emotion, this has nothing to do with hatred, Yongzheng put him in this position again, and his intentions couldn't be more obvious. Your brother has been martyred, which proves that your Fan family is absolutely loyal, so I should be able to rest assured that I can use you. …,

Now that the Nanban Sailor has occupied Dinghai, if he Fan Shijie doesn't make any moves, in Yongzheng's heart, he will be disloyal.

"Fortunately, I don't have to learn to go to sea from my brother himself......"

Thinking of the cause of Fan Shiyi's death, Fan Shijie secretly rejoiced.

"Our real purpose is not only to clean up the Jiangnan Navy of the Qing court, but also to deter the Yongzheng Emperor and make him agree to the official family's request for trade in Jiangnan. A big war is indispensable, otherwise it is not enough to shake people's hearts. ”

Dinghai, Meng Songhai said this to Bai Zhengli, Liu Songding and his key members.

"The governor of Zhejiang is Fan Shijie, he wants to avenge his brother, he must make some moves, let's nest in Dinghai, waiting for him to send the remaining sailor warships to the door."

Meng Songhai told the plan like a child's play, and everyone looked at each other, saying that Fan Shijie had a broken skull, and he had to send it to the door to beg for a beating?

"If he doesn't come, let's continue to seal the sea! See if he moves! ”

Meng Songhai was determined to be authentic, and everyone said secretly, this is indeed a hooligan trick......

Bai Zhengli said: "But there are many fishing boats and merchant ships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and we can't indiscriminately bombard them together, so we have to search and investigate." Relying on our ships alone is not enough to seal the waters south of the Yangtze River, do you want to contact Chief Xiao? ”

Speaking of this, Meng Songhai raised his eyebrows, but his eyebrows drooped.

"Chief Xiao, I'm afraid I'm in trouble in the Ryukyus......." ）
