Chapter 135: Longjiang Treasure Shipyard

Nurhachi and others stopped in Guangning for a while, and then crossed the Liaohe Loop all the way with the remnants of the defeated army and returned to Shenyang.

Originally, Nurhachi was also preparing an expedition to Llorka, because the Great Khan of Mongolia was fighting against the Manjin under the influence of the Mongol tribes. For a long time, the Jurchens continued to raid, so that many Mongol tribes in southern Mongolia and northern Mongolia began to attach themselves to Nurhachi. This made the Mongol Khan Lin Dan feel the crisis, and Mobei Mongolia also traded with the Ming Dynasty, and was under pressure from the Ming Dynasty, so he put pressure on the Mongol tribes in Monan, asking them to stop supporting Nurhachi.

The closest to Houjin is the Nen Korqin Division, which is threatened by Houjin's military strength and does not dare to offend, but as a member of Mongolia, they still obey the will of the Mongolian Great Khan, even if the Mongolian Great Khan is weak, they do not dare to rebel.

Nurhachi naturally wanted to help his little brother speak, so after he was ready to capture Ningyuan, he happened to go on an expedition to the Gurro Mongols.

However, it backfired, and Nurhachi defeated Ningyuan, which made the Houjin people panic, where would they still have the strength to go on an expedition to Mongolia.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan led his troops all the way forward, rebuilt the Songjin defensive line, and took advantage of the opportunity of the entire line of shoes to retreat, and advanced the forward post all the way to Xining Fort west of the Liao River.

Originally, Yuan Chonghuan was also ready to build a fortress defense system in Guangning, but because Yuan Chonghuan did not have enough troops, it was undoubtedly self-defeating to divide the troops too much, so he only built a post in Guangning, and the heavy troops were still hoarded in Jinzhou, and a military war bureau was set up in Jinzhou to make artillery and gunpowder.

Yuan Chonghuan placed more than 50,000 wheeled heads and ears on the bank of the Liao River, and sent envoys to the Miaozi station on the other side to deliver a letter. ”

Nurhachi recuperated in Shenyang, heard the letter and was furious, the wound ruptured, the mouth spurted blood and passed out again, and after waking up, he vowed to slaughter the "Little Seven Princes" and summoned Huang Taiji, Daishan and other banner owners into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

Huang Taiji was unusual, and asked to lead a large army to conquer the Ming Dynasty, thinking that it was a shameful battle.

Amin sneered: "If you hadn't let us set up the camp by the sea last time, we wouldn't have been successfully attacked by Di Haonan's sailors!" ”

Dai Shan said: "This Deng Haonan was born, we were not prepared at all, we really hate people, no less than that." Little Seven Eunuchs.! ”

Manguthai said, "Pay the reward. Deng Haonan is the descendant of the late Deng Zilong, the deputy governor of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming court named Di Haonan as the general of Pingliao. Add the prince and young master, and lead the Nanyang sailors! ”

The waters of the South Seas are low

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Mang Ergutai explained: "The Ming court cabinet is not in harmony and cannot unify the water division, so the water division is divided into two oceans, north and south, with the Yangtze River as the boundary!" ”

Huang Taiji snorted coldly and said, "This kind of thing is not surprising! If I had let the Beiyang Navy Division attack my Dajin rear earlier, I wouldn't have lost hundreds of fortresses in a row! ”

Dai Shan said: "The military and political circles of the Ming Dynasty are full of turmoil, the front is tight, and the rear is eating, if it weren't for the huge land, population, and financial resources, it would have been pushed down by my father Khan a long time ago!" ”

Nurhachi said suddenly: "You said that Deng Haonan is the descendant of that dragon?" ”

Manggutai nodded and said, "That's how the details are reported!" ”

Nurhachi was thoughtful, and suddenly said: "In the future, if you fight with Daming, try not to confront Deng Haonan head-on!" ”

Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan! Don't mix family affairs with state affairs! ”

"I've got my own measure!" Nurhachi waved his hand and motioned for Manggutai to continue reporting.

Huang Taiji shook his head helplessly, Dai Shan and the others didn't speak, Mang Ergutai continued: "There is another news, Daming Shaanxi and Shanxi have been in drought for many years, and many ordinary people in Daming have been forced by life to rebel recently!" ”

From the A.D. to the old knife years, the whole territory of Shaanxi was plagued by famine. In the spring of the hoe year, northern Shaanxi had a strict dry morning and insect plague, the seedlings were scorched, and the hunger was all over the field.

At the same time, due to the stimulation of overseas trade, the Brotherhood Alliance and the Chao Gang used the hot money in their hands to start a trade price war with the Nanjing Chamber of Commerce, wantonly raising the purchase prices of cotton, raw silk, and tea, so that a large area of land in the rich south of the Ming Dynasty was used for the cultivation of such cash crops, and grain production fell sharply.

However, the general drought in the north has led to an even greater shortage of grain, and grain prices have begun to rise steadily. Correspondingly, the central finance of the Ming Dynasty was reduced due to the corresponding reduction of taxes in the year of famine, and with the further financial constraints, relief became empty talk, and without relief, the peasants could not live, and finally had to take risks and rise up in rebellion.

The northern Shaanxi region first broke out a peasant uprising, and Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong of Fugu rebelled, they occupied Huanglong Mountain, and established themselves as kings and called for the imperial court.

"Good!" Nurhachi said happily: "It's good to have civil strife in the Ming Dynasty!" Babel must hurry up and arrange for the past to create a riot, and let them make as much trouble as possible! ”

"Father Khan rest assured! The Han people are already intrigued, and they bite it first if they instigate it a little! Huang Taiji said: "Erchen has already sent someone!" ”

"Well done!" Nurhachi nodded and said, "Don't care about anything else, let's talk about how to deal with Yuan Chonghuan's provocation first!" ”

Manggu Tai said with a smile: "Father Khan don't worry, make a detailed report, the military department Shangshu has urged Chengxiu to strictly order that the Ming army in Liaodong must not cross the Liao River without permission!" So don't worry about the Ming army attacking us! ”

Amin sneered: "Even I know the art of war and tactics that take advantage of your illness to kill you, and he is a dignified scholar of the Ming Military Department, and he actually gave such an order!" What a child's mind! ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and secretly sweated for Amin.

Sure enough, Nurhachi was very unhappy.

However, Nurhachi still didn't have fire, but the corners of his mouth twitched. Grief stomach, anger hurt liver, at this time Nurhachi relied on the liver to heal himself, a fire naturally caused severe pain in the wound.

Calm!

It's not okay to be old!

Nurhachi said: "This is a conspiracy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" "Amin is not convinced by anyone, he is afraid of Nurhachi.

At this time, he also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately shut up.

Nurha Equator: "It can't be good, then Yuan Chonghuan is very bold, or according to the established plan, shrink the troops."

Huang Taiji said: "Instead of shrinking the troops. Let all parties know that we have been hit hard, why don't we take the initiative to attack Jinzhou, and take advantage of Yuan Chonghuan's failure to repair the castle, and severely damage or destroy them to shame."

"What do you think? Nujihachi asked the others.

Dai Shan said: "Now we still have 80,000 iron cavalry, and the Liaodong Ming army has once again stretched the battle line, so I think they will definitely not be able to stop our attack."

Huang Taiji said: "During the Warring States Period, Qi Guotian Shan used this tactic to let the Yan army more than 70 cities, so that the Yan army's battle line was lengthened, the troops were scattered, and then the counterattack was successful in one fell swoop!" ”

Nurhachi nodded and said, "That's fine!" The provinces of Mongolia are attached to our ministries have ideas! ”

Azig said suddenly: "It's just that if we are exhausted, there will be no soldiers at home to defend against the enemy, what if Mao Wenlong comes to harass us?" ”

Dai Shan sighed: "If it weren't for the loss of 60,000 elites this time, we wouldn't have to worry about that Mao Wenlong!" ”

Nurhachi said: "At the moment, the troops are tight, and it is difficult to fight on two fronts!" ”

Huang Taiji said suddenly: "Father Khan, if we reorganize the Mongols and Han slaves and raise the flag for them, we can form an army of 50,000 in a short time!" There is no need for them to fight, only to deal with and defend against Mao Wenlong! ”

Nurhachi has always been ruthless to the Han people, killing at every turn, and when he heard Huang Taiji's words, he immediately frowned.

Azig said: "Father Khan is still preparing to kill tens of thousands of Han slaves to retaliate against the Ming court?" ”

Amin also said: "No one can use the cunning Han people!" What if the Han people had weapons and rebelled? ”

Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan must not kill the Han people!" At this time, if the warriors want to win the world, they need enough talents."

Amin said: "Tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen almost killed all the Han people, even if we only have 80,000 people left, we can still kill all the Han people!" ”

Nurhachi was noncommittal.

Huang Taiji was shocked and secretly scolded Amin for always singing against himself.

"Father Khan! In this defeat, in addition to losing intelligence, we also ignored the red-coated artillery of the Ming army, and the current firearms of the Ming army are no longer as powerful and short in range as before, so we need to adjust our strategy! ”

Nurhachi nodded, he had indeed seen the power of the Ming army's gunners.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed and said: "There are many people among the Han people who understand firearms, and the only reliance of the Ming army is firearms!" Now this kind of red-coated cannon is powerful enough to destroy the city wall, so as long as we can build a few such cannons, we only need to collapse the Ming army city wall at that time, and the remaining Ming army will dare to fight us? ”

When Nurhachi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "If we also have this kind of artillery. The Ming army is naturally not our opponent! ”

Huang Taiji said: "Our people can't make artillery, but the Han people can!" Therefore, I hope that my father Khan will put the great cause first."

Nurhachi nodded and said, "Then don't kill Hannu first!" But don't mention the flag for them! At the moment, we can requisition the Mongolian cavalry, about 20,000 people, so let's organize them into the left and right Mongolian banner armies first! I think 20,000 Mongolian cavalry is enough to deal with Mao Wenlong."

Huang Taiji knew that he couldn't push Nurhachi too much, and this was already the best result.

In this way, because of the crushing defeat of Ningyuan, Nurhachi had to compromise and integrate the Mongolian cavalry into the Eight Banners Army. This was a year and a half earlier than in history, and the Mongolian flag army was divided into two battalions, each with 10,000 horsemen. Because of Nurhachi's strong opposition, Huang Taiji failed to reorganize the Eight Banners of the Han Army in advance.

※※

At the same time that Nurhachi was regrouping and preparing to go on another expedition, Di Haonan was also in the midst of intense deployment.

In order to carry out the plan smoothly, Deng Haonan ordered the 6th team to carry out the tactics of simulating the attack on the cavalry, and at the same time ordered Zhan Zengyong and other disciples of the cavalry department of the Wutang to rush to Juehua Island, and transport a batch of 5,000 sets of cavalry equipment to Juehua Island first, so as to strengthen the cavalry training on Juehua Island.

Of course, Deng Haonan didn't dare to expect his cavalry to be able to compete with the godson cavalry at the moment, just as an auxiliary force for raids and harassment. And even more so that the 6th team will directly attack the godson, because God knows if this old-fashioned musket will drop the chain at a critical moment. Because of the use of annoying devices, although the dog-lock musket has enhanced actual combat ability, sometimes the flint may not be able to catch fire, so Deng Haonan did not dare to joke with his own life.

Di Haonan's only confidence is artillery, ten cannons can't stop Lezi, then use a hundred, a hundred can't block shoes, then use a thousand, ten thousand. In short, Deng Haonan firmly believes that artillery is the god of war, and if you don't believe it, you won't be killed!

The intelligence department sent news to Deng Haonan that Zheng Zhilong used all the shipyards under his command to start large-scale construction of warships, mostly at the level of frigates of about 500 tons. I heard from Huang Dahai that this large-scale ship-building operation was really aimed at Di Haonan.

When Na Haonan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

Ya is playing an arms race with Lao Tzu?

I'm worried right now

Huang Zupei said: "Since Zheng Zhilong is competing with you, with the current financial resources and rights of the adults, you can completely crush Zheng Zhilong!" ”

Right?

Na Haonan was stunned for a moment.

Huang Zupei said: "Don't forget that you are an upright commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, although the imperial court does not give you military salaries and soldiers, but you can use the resources of the imperial court's naval division base."

Na Haonan asked, "How to use it?" Zu Pei, hurry up and listen to me! ”

Huang Zupei said with a smile: "You can recruit sailors openly under the official flag, now that there is a drought on the southeast coast, and the people have no place to make a living, Zheng Zhilong can quickly sit down, completely because he needs manpower in Beigang." But he is not as good as the adults, but the common people don't believe in Zheng Zhilong, the pirate leader, if the adults recruit people in the name of forming the Nanyang Naval Division at this time, the people will still choose to be the official army instead of the pirates! ”

Na Haonan nodded and said, "What Zu Pei said is extremely true."

Huang Zupei said: "Moreover, when adults recruit sailors, they can also recruit all kinds of craftsmen. The same can be done for displaced people."

Di Haonan asked, "Where will I settle the displaced people?" ”

Huang Zupei said with a smile: "If you want to capture Jinzhou and restore Jinzhou, you need the population to cultivate the land, so you can adopt the method of military cantonment, so that you can win the hearts of the people, and you can get a stable and safe source of troops in the future."

Na Haonan nodded, and secretly said that this Huang Zupei thought much far-reaching, and he didn't even see that he, a person with five big and three coarse people, still had such wisdom.

After Huang Zupei's reminder, Di Haonan suddenly said: "Does the imperial court have any shipyards in the south that can help us build warships?" ”

Huang Zupei smiled and nodded, just now he was just throwing bricks and jade, and at this time, seeing that Deng Haonan could quickly reflect, he felt very satisfied.

This is like a leader who can listen to the words of his advisers, but has his own unique insights and analysis.

"Your Excellency is right!" Huang Zupei said: "The main shipyards in Jiangnan are controlled by the Chao Gang and Zheng Zhilong, the only thing is that the Xidong region is still under the control of the imperial court, and the second is the Longjiang Shipyard in Nanzhili

Longjiang Shipyard!

How to forget it! It's so sorry not to use such a good resource!

Longjiang Shipyard is also known as Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, Zheng He's ship to the West was also built by Longjiang Shipyard, "Longjiang Shipyard Chronicles" volume 3 called "Hongwu Yongle Shipbuilding into the Sea to take treasure", so Longjiang Shipyard is also called "Treasure Shipyard".

She's huge. Its scope "reaches Chengqi in the east, Qinhuai Guards and Civilians in the west, Yifengmen First Carriage Residence Guanlangfang Base in the northwest, the right guard barracks base in the south, and Nanjing Military Department Rongdi and Zhangcheng Bozhangtian in the north." The east and west are wide and wide, and the north and south are longitudinal and strong. The area is more than 10,000 square meters.

After the shipyard was inherited for a long time, it was divided into the front factory and the back factory by the time of Hongzhi. Each of the two factories has a stream mouth leading to the Longjiang River, and there are stone gates that can be opened and closed to control the amount of water. When building a ship, the water is drained, the gate is closed, and the work is carried out in the dock; After the ship is built, the gate is opened to enter the water, the hull is lifted, and the boat is released into the river. In addition to the lifting department, the helper command hall and a tent factory specializing in building sea ship canopies, there are also seven workshops in the shipyard, including a joinery workshop, a painting workshop, a twisting workshop, an iron workshop, a tent workshop, a rope workshop, a cable workshop, and a material care shop. Among them, the tent factory located in the northeast of the factory has 10 rows of 60 houses.

The supervising officials of the shipyard, in addition to the five-grade workers, also have staff members, directors, promotions, helpers and commanders. There are nearly 100 first-class low-level team leaders alone. The shipbuilding craftsmen are from Xijiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Fujian and Jiangsu provinces, the division of labor is meticulous, and the four compartments are divided, each compartment is divided into ten first, and each one is set up to be long, and ten households are in charge. The carriage is divided into ship wood, shuttle, joint, and rope maker; The second compartment is divided into shipwood, iron, and cableman; The sedan is the cabin craftsman; The four compartments are divided into presses and tent makers. In addition, there are also internal officials and supervisors, horse supervisors, watchmen, changers, bridgemen and other personnel.

The shipyard specializing in the construction of warships in the Ming Dynasty was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry. Since the early years of Hongwu, 400 shipwrights along the rivers and seas of Xijiang, Jiangxi, Huguang and Fujian have been transferred to enrich the shipyard shipbuilding. The vacant land in the factory is called for tenants, and the acres are paid for tung oil and jute for shipbuilding.

Longjiang Shipyard mainly builds more than 20 kinds of ships such as large and small yellow boats, battle patrol ships, and battle seat ships.

Another shipyard is Qingjiang Shipyard, but this shipyard is in Jiangbei and belongs to the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Naval Division, so Deng Haonan is not interested in asking for the time being.

Huang Zupei said: "The large sea ships used by the Three Treasure Eunuchs to go to the West were all built in the Longjiang Shipyard, and it took two years for two hundred sea ships to go to the West. It has been abandoned for a long time, but twenty years ago, in order to resist the invasion of North Korea, the imperial court reopened the Longjiang Shipyard, and built 60 warships and more than 500 other warships within half a year, so as long as there is enough silver, Longjiang Shipyard can provide a steady stream of warships for adults! ”

That Hao Nan gasped, obediently, is this the shipbuilding ability of the Ming Dynasty or the war potential?

"That's the best!"

Di Haonan thought excitedly, this time see how you Zheng Zhilong competed with Lao Tzu?

Suddenly, Deng Haonan thought of a question, so he asked: "Is it possible to build Zheng He's treasure ship?" ”
