Chapter 312

When Xu Erxian heard this, he asked a little suspiciously: "My lord, do you mean the two ships that were taken away by the forehead? That's it, it's just two more ships!"

After Shang Kexi heard this, he couldn't help being a little speechless, if it's just two more ships, why would he say that?
On the other side, Ban Zhifu also misunderstood, and asked suspiciously: "The emperor has concentrated all the warships here, and there are no other islands, right? Besides, we don't have a shipyard in the Qing Dynasty, so where can we get them?" Coming to the boat?"

Seeing that they couldn't remember it, Shang Kexi smiled and said: "Don't forget, North Korea has navy divisions, and now they have surrendered to my Qing Dynasty. As long as the emperor gives an order, let the navy divisions send troops and return to my king's command." , wouldn’t that increase the number of warships at once?”

In the past, when North Korea was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, they had sent more than 1 Musketeers at the order of the Emperor Daming to attack Liaodong in the Sarhu War, but their combat effectiveness was low and they were of no use at all.

When Xu Erxian heard this, he was overjoyed at first, and then he said puzzledly: "My lord, as far as those Goryeo sticks are concerned, it's not that the last general boasted, and the last general can beat three with one. Counting them, it will only drag us down!"

"Yes, my lord, you must be cautious when using them!" Ban Zhifu also persuaded, "Those Korean sticks are fine for a smooth battle, but if they fight a tough battle, they will definitely drag us down!"

After hearing this, Shang Kexi said disapprovingly: "First, I don't have a shipyard in the Qing Dynasty, so it is impossible to build a ship by myself. If you really want to build a ship, how much time will it take to build a ship, you have no idea in your mind." Clearly; secondly, as long as the emperor decrees that after the navy is required from North Korea, the king can personally train them, as long as the rewards and punishments are clear, and the North Koreans are also human beings, so it can be done. Just like the Mongols in the Qing Dynasty, and Our Han army!"

During this period, whether it was the Mongols or the Ming army, their combat effectiveness was actually very low. Every time they fought against the Jianlu, they would not run away after hearing the news, and those who could persist in fighting a battle were considered strong.It can be said that both the Mongols and the Ming army are rotten.

However, the same Mongols and the same Ming army, as long as they joined the Manchu Qing army, their combat effectiveness would be different immediately.This kind of thing is a very common phenomenon.The reason is what Shang Kexi said, rewards and punishments are clear.To be honest, compared to other forces, Manchu Qing did the best in this regard!

Besides, after hearing Shang Kexi's words, Xu Erxian and Ban Zhifu couldn't help being overjoyed, clapped their hands excitedly, and repeatedly praised that this was a good idea.

Therefore, Shang Kexi didn't delay, and did what he said, and immediately wrote a memorial to Huang Taiji, and reported his thoughts to the higher authorities.

In Shengjing, Huang Taiji was actually in trouble.

Because from various indications, signs of natural disasters have also appeared in the Qing Dynasty, drought, and this year's harvest will definitely not be ideal, which makes Huang Taiji very worried.

If it was in the past, he wouldn't be so worried. With Shanxi merchants around, he could use the gold, silver and jewels he robbed to exchange for grain and supplies in the country of Ming; Send troops to plunder the pass.

However, there are no Shanxi merchants who are friendly with the Qing Dynasty. At least in a short period of time, it is impossible to obtain food and materials from Shanxi.

In addition, there was another matter that made Huang Taiji a little worried.Even after the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wiped out the Tumote tribe in Hetao, he did not occupy the relatively fertile land of Hetao.

Expansion of territory is a temptation for any emperor.Logically speaking, since the Ming Dynasty had eliminated the Tumote tribe, it should occupy Hetao, at least send troops to garrison Guihua City, right?However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty never sent a single soldier out of the customs.

If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could send troops out to plant farmland or graze in Hetao, he would be able to send troops to attack.Even if the Ming Kingdom had stationed heavy troops in Guihua City, but it was just an isolated city, he believed that it would be easy to take down.

However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was able to resist the temptation to expand the territory. From this, it can be seen that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has indeed become a powerful opponent, and he is a difficult opponent!This made Huang Taiji even more afraid to send troops rashly to invade the pass again!

Now the Hetao side has been occupied by the Urad tribe in the west, and the uncooked and cooked rice sent a letter to Huang Taiji to explain the situation and to obtain Huang Taiji's consent.

Although Huang Taiji didn't care about this, he was actually not happy about being tricked by the Urad Department.Therefore, he also sent an imperial decree to the Urad tribe. He wanted to occupy Hetao, but on the condition of his original pasture land, he must unite more tribes and send troops to the Ming Dynasty together to prove the strength of the Urad tribe.Otherwise, Huang Taiji wouldn't mind putting Ezhe back and letting the Chahar tribe reoccupy the land of Hetao.

Of course, what Huang Taiji said was more of a threat.After all, Er Zhe is the son of Lin Danhan, a descendant of the grassland gold family, and since he has been brought to Liaodong, he must not be put back.

Huang Taiji was thinking about these things, when he suddenly heard the voice getting louder, he came back to his senses and listened intently to the conversation of several Hanchens.

He heard Fan Wencheng say to him: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say when there will be results on the forehead. Therefore, the slave thinks that the hope of the Qing Dynasty cannot be put on the forehead for the time being. To build water conservancy, Paying attention to farming is the best policy."

"Your Majesty, the servant seconded the proposal!" Ning Wan and I followed suit, "For my Daqing, farming is the most important thing in today's plan, and we must pay attention to farming!"

In fact, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always been a plundering force since its rise, and it changed slightly in the generation of Huang Taiji.But in general, it is basically a looting force.

However, it is not easy to plunder now, so it is natural to change.Under the proposal of Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I, we wanted Huang Taiji to shift the resources of Liaodong to farming.For example, to improve the treatment of farmers, at least let them eat enough, and even give them certain rewards to increase their enthusiasm for farming.The construction of water conservancy and so on is not just talking about it, it needs to mobilize manpower and material resources.

After hearing their suggestions, Huang Taiji frowned and said: "Our Qing Dynasty is short of supplies, just a little. If we tilt it towards farming, what will happen to the military? No matter what, our Qing Dynasty uses force to build a country. It is fundamental and cannot have any influence. However, what you said is right. If we don’t pay attention to farming, once a famine occurs, the impact on the Qing Dynasty’s national strength will be unbearable for me!”

What he meant was obvious, force cannot be abolished, farming must also be taken seriously, and resources are limited, which is a bit of a headache.

The monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to discuss how to allocate resources?

At this time, the gratifying memorial arrived.

Hearing the guard's report, Fan Wencheng didn't change his expression on the surface, but his heart was still a little sour: Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and this one are still gratifying.Even Wu Zhong, the coat-coated slave, suddenly turned into the emperor's son-in-law.As for myself, he is just a bachelor title, to put it bluntly, he is just a master of Huang Taiji!

In terms of resourcefulness, who would I lose to?Even if it is courageous, it can compete with those who are crowned kings and married daughters.Alas, he is capable of both civil and military skills, but fate does not favor him, and he is overtaken by these warriors!

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought, otherwise, he should take the road of military commander instead.Just now the emperor said that the Qing Dynasty was established by military force, and military power is fundamental and cannot have any influence.In this way, if he changed to the path of generals, would he lose to them in future achievements?This is gratifying, but what kind of King Zhishun has been conferred!Hehe, you are the one who is both civil and military, okay?
When Fan Wencheng was thinking about it, Huang Taiji had already finished reading the memorial.Afterwards, he frowned slightly, and said to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, "King Zhishun intends to expand the strength of our Master Qingshui, what do you think?"

Human instinct is to be afraid of the boundless sea.If you can choose, you will definitely feel that you will feel at ease if you are down-to-earth.

In this era, there is no weather monitoring at all. Even experienced fishermen cannot avoid the changing face of the sea. Not to mention hurricanes, just the increase of waves can make many people on the sea never go back.

Not to mention Huang Taiji, even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was afraid of the sea and didn't want to set foot on the sea to explore the unknown of the sea.

Therefore, after reading Shang Kexi's memorial, Huang Taiji instinctively resisted.

However, Shang Kexi also detailed in the memorial what benefits the Daqing Water Master would bring to Daqing if it was strong.Therefore, Huang Taiji did not immediately veto it, but just wanted to hear the advice of the adviser.

Fan Wencheng, who was the first to receive Shang Kexi's memorial, read it and passed it on to Ning Wan for me to read, but he himself seemed to be thinking and didn't speak immediately.

In fact, Fan Wencheng was really thinking about something.

He was thinking, if the Great Qingshui Division expanded and became stronger as mentioned in the memorial, then the commander must be gratifying. After all, he had been in charge of the Navy when he was in the Ming Dynasty.The navy is strong, but Shang Kexi has greater real power.If he achieves what Shang Kexi envisioned in the memorial, then his power, even the princes, will all depend on his face, let alone himself!

Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng felt a little more angry for no reason.But fortunately, his palace is deep enough. Even if he curses Huang Taiji in his heart, he can probably flatter Huang Taiji with a smile on his face.So he didn't show anything.

He was thinking about how to give Huang Taiji feedback on this matter.

At this moment, after reading the memorial, Ning Wan and I played first and said: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that we need to be cautious about this matter!"

"Oh?" Huang Taiji listened, and just responded, wanting to hear his reasons.

"Your Majesty, please think about it. If you don't say anything else, just as King Zhishun said, you have built a powerful Qingshui division!" In the Ming Dynasty, when it was time to cross such a long sea route, the weather suddenly changed. If one was not careful, it would all be lost. Qianyuan lost nearly 20 troops and about 500 warships. The second time, Qianyuan sent nearly [-] troops and more than [-] warships in total. Such a huge navy was also rushed by the hurricane. completely annihilated!"

Speaking of this, Ning Wan and I acted very earnestly, admonishing with an expression of wholeheartedly thinking about the Qing Dynasty: "Your Majesty, my Qing Dynasty's national power is not like that of Qianyuan, and I can't afford it! Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case , such consequences, the stronger the navy is, the more unbearable the consequences should happen. The slave is for the Qing Dynasty, for the emperor's sake, and King Zhishun's proposal must not be agreed to!"

Huang Taiji had never paid attention to matters at sea before, so when he heard his words, he was immediately taken aback.There were two times before and after, one time with more troops and more warships than the other time, all of which were destroyed by the hurricane without exception.Such a serious consequence, as Ning Wan said, he simply cannot bear it.

However, he still turned his head to look at Fan Wencheng, and asked with a bit of surprise: "Fan Qing, is the defeat of Qian Yuan really as Ning Qing said?"

"Your Majesty, this is recorded in the history books, and it is indeed true!" Fan Wencheng didn't know why, but his heart was clear, and he immediately replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Huang Taiji had no doubts anymore, after thinking for a while, he brought up the imperial pen, and gave Shang Kexi this memorial.

Needless to say, he definitely disagreed with Shang Kexi's suggestion.But the reply was more tactful, just telling Shang Kexi that the current fifty or so warships can almost protect Ming merchants from doing business with the Qing Dynasty, other things will be discussed later.

Of course, in order to comfort Shang Kexi, Huang Taiji reluctantly allocated some supplies to Shang Kexi to repair warships, build ports, and train sailors.At least it is a step forward compared to the previous abandonment of the navy.

After the approval was completed, they were sent back to Jinzhou quickly.

At the same time, on the tip of the Shandong Peninsula, there is a Liugong Island. The area of ​​this island is not large, only a little over three square kilometers, and the coastline of the island is only about thirty miles long.

At this time, Daming was still mainly transported by water, and there were few sea-going ships.Therefore, here in Liugong Island, you can only occasionally see ships docking for rest.

But this time, two large ships docked together, making it a surprise for the poor residents on the island to come and see.

However, the strange thing is that the people on the two boats hid in the cabins and did not come out, nor did they allow people to go up. Only a few people got off the boat and went ashore.

The person in the lead spoke the Ming Dynasty's official dialect better than anyone else, Shi Li asked an old man among the crowd on the shore, "Excuse me, old man, is this Liugong Island?"

Hearing this accent, the old man didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly replied, "This is Liugong Island."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, also immediately came to a conclusion: It turned out that Wu Zhong had just landed on Liugong Island!
 There is another chapter in the evening, it will be late, it is estimated to be at 11:30.
