Yang Qilong left with confidence with the edict issued by Kangxi to "send troops to North Korea to supervise state affairs".

Kangxi returned to his southern study and began to write to his "Wu Fama" informing him that he had decided to conquer Korea, but he held a brush and looked at the letter paper, but he did not start writing for a long time.

In the face of the threat of Fuquan, a traitor, and he didn't know if his life could be saved, Kangxi didn't have many psychological obstacles when he hugged the thigh of "Wu Fama", but now he can do it again. Sitting in the Qianqing Palace and being the emperor again! Although this emperor is largely constrained by the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers, after all, he is the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he always calls himself "Minister Sun Xuanye" in the letter to Wu Sangui, which is really embarrassing!

This person was lost, and he didn't have the face to go to Yingtai Island to see Ama and Fuquan. Of course, if he doesn't go to see Shunzhi and Fuquan, it also means that these two can continue to "cry blood" on Yingtai.

Kangxi is going, the two of them should collapse, and they should collapse!

After all, tearing up the promise to Chang Ning and other parliamentary ministers also needs prestige support.

And this prestige can only be achieved through military victories

When he was pondering whether the prestige of destroying the Li family's Joseon was enough to send Shunzhi and Fuquan away, the eunuch guarding outside the south study suddenly shouted: "Welcome to the Empress Dowager and Empress." ”

Kangxi hurriedly put down the brush, got up from the chair, and walked to the door of the south study, and then saw Queen Yang, who had a big belly, walking in with Bu Mu Butai.

"The retainers respectfully invite the royal mother to St. Ann."

Kangxi gave the old lady a thousand salutes, and then he and Queen Yang sat on a chair with Queen Yang.

The old lady had already seen a blank letter on Kangxi's imperial case and sighed: "Xuan Ye, are you writing a letter to Wu Sangui's old thing?" ”

Kangxi nodded: "Grandson wants to write a letter to inform him of my Qing Dynasty's dispatch of troops to Korea."

"Well, it should be reported." The old lady nodded, "If you don't report it, he will know." Not only do you have to report, but you also have to make it clear to him that you are not prestige enough to suppress the situation, and you must establish your authority by sending troops to conquer you. And the Ming Dynasty is too strong, so he can only find the two soft persimmons of North Korea and Khalkha Mongolia to pinch. ”

"Khalkha Mongolia?" Kangxi was stunned.

The princes of the Khalkha Mongols are not very respectful now, in fact, not only the Khalkha Mongols are not respectful, but also the host Mongols and the Mongol tribes of Monan are also ready to move. As for the Moxi Weirat Mongols, they simply stopped paying tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

However, Kangxi still had no plan to crusade against the Khalkha Mongols, because he was very worried that once he attacked Khalkha, he would provoke the Galdan of Oirat Dzungaria to fight for Mobei.

This will cause the big clear belly and back to be the enemy!

The old lady said: "Xuan Ye, it seems that you still don't regard yourself as the king of the Great Liao!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The monarch of the Great Liao is first the Khan of the grassland, and then the emperor of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!" Bumu Butai said, "And you are the emperor of the four provinces of mountains and rivers first, and then the Great Khan of the steppe."

If you put the steppes above the four provinces of mountains and rivers, how can you tolerate the disrespect of the Khalkha Mongols and the centrifugation of the Oirat Mongols? For the emperor of Daliao, the status of Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo and Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing has always been higher than that of Nanjing Xijin Mansion and Xijing Datong Mansion. The loss of the two capitals in the east and the upper part of the country means the collapse of the Liao State, and the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun will make the Liao State poor at most.

Besides, you always think of yourself as the monarch of the Central Plains, how can Wu Sangui and Li Zhongshan in the south be willing to tear their faces? ”

What Bumu Butai said, Kangxi actually understands!

But he is the emperor of the Central Plains who was born in Beijing, unlike Bumu Butai, who was a Mongolian princess born on the grassland.

This thought can't be turned around all of a sudden!

However, as soon as Bumu Butai said this now, his thinking became clear at once.

He can't always look at the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains reluctantly!

Even if I can't put it down in my heart, I have to put on a posture that I'm not interested in.

Otherwise, how can Da Ming and Da Zhou start fighting with confidence?

If the Ming Dynasty and the Great Zhou don't lose both, no matter how much the Qing Dynasty cares about the Central Plains, they will be driven out sooner or later!

"Huang Mama, my grandson understands, and my grandson will immediately write to that Wu Fama, telling him that after Yang Qilong takes control of Hanyang Mansion, the royal city of Korea, I will personally conquer Mobei, sweep away the Mongolian princes who are not subservient, and personally resist the Rakshasas!"

"Good!" Bumu Butai nodded, "Plus a rakshasa . I heard that the Moscow Mansion of the Rakshasa Kingdom is twenty or thirty thousand miles away to the west, and I went there when I was going to the west. You told Wu Sangui in the letter, just say that you also want to go to that Moscow mansion! ”

In August of the 14th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, on the surface of the Yellow Sea, the morning glow has been sprinkled on the sea, sparkling and dazzling. A fleet of hundreds of fast crab boats and large bird boats is taking advantage of the westerly wind on the sea to sail quickly towards the coast of North Korea, plowing white waves on the sea.

The fast crab boat was originally a ship type used by pirates in Guangdong and Fujian, with a long and narrow hull, dozens of oars on each side, and when it shakes, it stretches like a crab's legs, so it is called fast crab. Extremely fast, with turtledoves and cannons, they are very powerful in close combat, making them ideal for fighting in coastal waters and inland waterways. Shi Lang's Zheng Group, which was born in Shi Lang, already has the business of barricade fees and zero-yuan purchases, and this kind of fast crab boat is a sharp weapon for the Zheng family to run rampant in the offshore. Shi Lang was very familiar with the performance of fast crab boats, and after serving as the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division, he introduced them to the Yangtze River, invited craftsmen who were good at building fast crab boats from Zhangzhou Prefecture in Fujian, and opened a shipyard specializing in building fast crab boats in Guazhou Port of Yangzhou Prefecture. Dozens of fast crab boats have been built before and after.

The large bird boat is also a commonly used ship type of Zheng Group, which is a hard-sailed round-bottom sea boat, which is often used in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, and can also run to Japan in the South Seas. In the early years, the Zheng family often grabbed this kind of ship when they bought it for zero yuan at sea, so they loaded the sturdy big ships with artillery to engage in armed smuggling. Later, the Zheng family combined the advantages of Western gunboats and developed bird boats that could install three- or six-pound cannons on the broadside.

Shi Lang also let people build ten large bird boats that could install six-pound bronze guns on the side of the Guazhoubu shipyard, and later when they left the Yangtze River to the north, they also forcibly requisitioned more than a dozen cargo bird boats, thus forming a Beiyang naval division composed of hundreds of fast crab ships and big bird boats.

If we do not consider that the Daqingshui Division that retreated to the north has lost the support of the shipbuilding industry in the southeast, just talking about the stock advantage of the Beiyang Naval Division, it is a powerful maritime force that can overwhelm the Yangtze River Naval Division and the Guangdong Naval Division under the name of the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, if the Fujian Naval Division of the Zheng family in Fujian is out, then the Beiyang Naval Division will not be enough.

Before Zheng Jing recovered Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, the shipbuilding industry in these two prefectures had already begun to recover because the sea ban had ceased to exist. After Zheng Jing became the lord of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, the shipbuilding industry of these two state capitals with a long maritime tradition developed by leaps and bounds, although it was not as large as the heyday of the late Ming Dynasty, but it was a step further in technology - after all, the Zheng family had also been absorbing Western shipbuilding technology during their years on Dayuan Island. In addition, after the recovery of Macau by Li Yat-sen, the Portuguese shipyards, drawings and models were all open to the Cheng family, and there were even armed merchant ships that could be repaired in the dockyard for Zheng Jing's craftsmen to reverse-engineer.

Therefore, after the Zheng family recovered Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, they soon began to produce a new type of armed merchant ship that used a combination of Chinese-style hard sails and Western-style hulls. With the recovery of shipbuilding capacity in Zhangzhou and Quanfu, this new type of armed merchant ship called "Xinfu Ship" began to be built like dumplings!

However, the purpose of the Zheng family to build the Xinfu ship was not to go north to the Yellow Sea and compete with the Qing Beiyang Naval Division, but to expand the Zheng family's interests in the South Sea, so Shi Lang's Beiyang Naval Division can now rest assured and boldly ship Yang Qilong's Beiyang New Army to a place called Incheon!

Two or three hundred sails were raised high, and the sun rose into the air, and the blazing sun came from the east, shining on the white sails, reflecting a golden light, as if to foretell that the expedition would be a great victory.

Every bird boat and fast crab boat is floating with the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty and the handsome flag of Yang and Shi!

Due to the long-term isolation of foreign countries and the abolition of military preparations, the naval and land divisions of the Korean Lyo Dynasty were all extremely weak, even worse than the situation before the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

According to the report of the Tianjin customs officials who were expelled by the Li Dynasty, the new king Li Zhuo of the Li Dynasty was young and vigorous, and he was very similar to the Kangxi of that year. While building chariots and preparing to use them against the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, he united with the Ming Dynasty and made an appointment to oppose the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, in the north of the Korean Kingdom, near the Yalu River, Yiju was stationed to prepare for war, and a faction could send troops to Liaodong at any time to copy the old nest of the Qing Dynasty.

In other words, not only is the sea gateway open in Korea, but even their Wang Jing Hanyang is not heavily guarded, so they are simply leaving the door open waiting for Yang Qilong and Shi Lang to raid their homes!

On Yang Qilong and Shi Lang's ship "Qikai Victory", Yang Qilong, who was a little seasick, was walking on the deck while blowing the sea breeze, and from time to time he did a few stretching exercises.

It can be seen that this "runaway minister" was still a little nervous when he came to the battle for the second time!

If Shi Lang, the old pirate, didn't take the fleet to the wrong course, then the Incheon Bay of North Korea should be nearby, and the Incheon Bay area should be defenseless!

So the Beiyang New Army can land without hindrance! Then march to Hanyang!

At the same time as the Beiyang New Army landed on a bird boat, Shi Lang would lead his fast crab boat and another part of the Beiyang New Army to land on Ganghwa Island, and then enter the Han River from the mouth of the Han River northeast of Ganghwa Island, and then go up the river to Hanyang, the king of Korea.

If all goes well, the land and water armies will soon meet outside the city of Hanyang. The young king of Korea is very likely to surrender without a fight!

As long as he surrenders without a fight, then Yang Qilong can control the affairs of a country in Korea in the name of the prison state.

The plan to replace the Li dynasty is half the battle!

"Land!"

Just as Yang Qilong was fantasizing about accepting Li Chaochan's concession in the future and starting the Yang dynasty in North Korea, suddenly a Fujian accent shouted.

Yang Qilong hurriedly ran to the high bow of the bird boat, then took out a monocular, looked around the sea in the east for a while, and finally saw a faintly undulating land at the intersection of water and sky.

Now the west wind on the sea was not small, pushing hundreds of ships to rush to the coast quickly, and in a short time they had sailed into a huge bay, and the mountains, jungles and fields on the shore were even clearly visible.

"Grandpa, we're here! You can already see the coast of Incheon! This is Shi Lang's voice, just a little excited, "I didn't see the warships of the North Korean navy and there was no battery to fire at us, our surprise attack. It worked! ”

"And that worked?" Yang Qilong was stunned, "I didn't go ashore, how did I succeed?" ”

"Hahaha," Shi Lang laughed, "Grandpa, the attack from the sea to the land is all about being unprepared and taking it by surprise. The sea is vast, and the sailors can be erratic. And the land is dead, and the land division can only fortify thousands of miles to engage in coastal defense, and as long as it does not hold at all, it will fall short. In fact, the deployment of the land division for thousands of miles is very likely to become a sea without defense, empty everywhere, and slack everywhere. Once you face the enemy's navy, you can only look at the ship and flee! This coastal defense is really easy to do, and Ao Bai will not listen to Huang Wu's words back then to carry out the coastal relocation that has greatly damaged his vitality! ”

This sailing fleet of the Age of Discovery, for the enemy on land, is actually a bit of a dimensionality reduction strike.

Although it is difficult for a sail battleship to bombard a land battery, it is impossible for anyone to build countless batteries along the coast! How much does it cost?

Therefore, most countries, including European countries, actually have large areas of undefended areas along the coasts, and even the coastlines of maritime powers such as Spain, France, and Italy are often attacked by North African pirates!

And the coastline of the Korean Kingdom, which has long pursued a closed country and faces the threat of the Qing Dynasty on land, is of course easier to break through!

"That's good, then it's good, General Shi, then let's hurry up and set foot on the land of Korea today!"

"Good! Log in today! ”

When Yang Qilong said this, he didn't realize that the small step he Shi Lang took without his opinion - stepping on the tidal flats of Inchon from a sampan would be a big step for the entire Chinese civilization - after I don't know how many years, this civilization would once again conquer a land from the sea!

Now it's a bit of a trip to catch up with the Age of Discovery!

Chang'an, the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Hahaha"

Wu Sangui's laughter echoed in the golden hall.

This 60-year-old founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who has not lived many years in history, is now full of red light, and his smile is full of energy.

This person is in good spirits at happy events, probably saying that he is like this.

"Father, why should you laugh?"

The one who handed over this question at the right time was, of course, Li Yat-sen's "second man" Wu Yingxiong.

Now in the main hall, in addition to Wu Sangui, there are only Wu Yingxiong and his brother Wu Yingqi, as well as a few guards and palace people.

Wu Xuanye said in the letter that he had sent Yang Qilong to conquer Korea, and he also planned to send troops to the Khalkha Mongols next year to help the Mongols resist the invading Rakshasa Kingdom. If the Rakshasa Kingdom is not convinced, he will follow the example of Batu and march into Moscow. By the way, where is this Moscow Mansion? When did Batu go? How did I not know? ”

Wu Yingqi laughed: "Father, Kangxi scribbled casually, how far is Moscow, you have to go tens of thousands of miles to the west!" And Batu didn't seem to have been to Moscow back then, he went to Kyiv, but Kangxi probably couldn't go. ”

"Can't go? Why? "Wu Sangui doesn't seem to know as much about Western things as his son.

"I have heard from the envoys of Galdan that the current Rakshasa kingdom is very powerful, and the descendants of the Golden Horde have almost destroyed them. So Kangxi probably can't beat it. ”

It turned out that Wu Yingqi had been busy with the affairs of the West during this time, and was busy discussing with Galdan's envoys how to divide the Yeerqiang Khanate. And after the partition of Yeerqiang, the alliance to resist the Rakshasa is also a theme, so Wu Yingqi knows a little about the Rakshasas.

"Oh," Wu Sangui said with a smile, "We don't care so much about him, as long as Kangxi turns his attention to Korea and Mongolia, we can deal with Da Ming with all our might." That's right. What's going on with Yeerqiang and Dzungar? Can they make peace? ”

"Yes!" Wu Yingqi nodded, "As long as we take down all of Ye Erqiang, it will be impossible for Galdan to send troops to destroy Ye Erqiang!" ”

Wu Sangui nodded: "Good idea, just do it!" ”
