Chapter 292: Supplementary Navy

The situation in Liaodong was clear, and with the announcement of the Military Affairs Office, the corresponding battle situation was conveyed, including the achievements made by the righteous people in Liaodong, which had a significant impact and shock on the Ming Dynasty and the capital area.

Perhaps because of the many defeats in the past, the sudden victory of such an overall situation made many people unexpectedly realize it.

Emperor Chongzhen did not take these influences and shocks into consideration, and the corresponding public opinion and guidance were all driven by his instructions.

If you want to defeat the Eight Banners of Jianlu and suppress the Jianlu rebellion, you must first defeat the ideological "defeat" and eliminate Tannu's fear.

If this cannot be changed at all, no matter how much Emperor Chongzhen did, once any turmoil in Liaodong and spread to the capital, it will affect the stability of the court.

This is something Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to see.

Military Affairs Office.

"The changes in the overall situation in Liao are stable based on the current situation."

Emperor Chongzhen looked serious and looked at Wang Qiao, Wang Zaijin and others, "Although there has not been a corresponding military report from the Dongjiang Army yet, I predict that the pattern of Liao will not change in the short term."

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong and his party nodded to express their approval. Jianlu suffered such losses in this battle, and even if he wanted to gather the army to attack again, he would be powerless.

Once the guns and cannons fired, there were tens of thousands of taels of gold.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of food and money on the wars caused by Liao. By the same token, the food and money on Jianlu were probably not less.

"I came to the Military Affairs Office this time to discuss the establishment of a naval division."

Looking at everyone's reaction, Emperor Chongzhen said, "According to the analysis of the overall situation in Liaodong this time, I believe the Military Affairs Bureau has also made it clear?

Whether it is the war in western Liaoning, the situation in southern Liaoning, or the situation in the war in the Dongjiang Army, the achievements of the navy are very significant.

Like the army in front of Liao led by Sun Chengzong, taking advantage of the turbulent situation in southern Liao, they launched coordinated combat between sea and land, and launched an offensive against the land stolen by Jianlu.

Like the Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng, when it was active under the rule of southern Liao, the Dongjiang Army led by Liu Xingzuo took advantage of the situation to harass southern Liao.

In the past, the State Administration of China was too conservative and negative about naval construction, so that many times, they had the opportunity to make progress, but in the end they missed the fighter plane in vain."

The office room was in silence.

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong and others, look at me, look at you, and all the words said to the emperor were in deep thought.

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not rush to urge him. He was determined to win the power of the water master.

Especially Tianjin continues to open seas and the clearness of the ports in Liaodong, in order to prevent possible maritime threats in the future, the establishment of a built-in naval force in the north of the Ming Dynasty is a must-do.

Developing the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty was extremely consuming food and money. It was not enough to rely solely on the supply of the treasury. Emperor Chongzhen had to gain a corresponding share from the treasury.

Nowadays, the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty has been initially alleviated, and it is what Emperor Chongzhen wants to do to invest the precious silver in the treasury into areas where there are rewards.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be done."

Wang Zaijin pondered for a moment, stepped forward and bowed, "Just as Your Majesty said, the achievements of the navy in the past Liao war were very obvious.

If the navy stationed on Juehua Island can be strengthened, the corresponding naval system will be restored in Tianjin and Denglai, once there is a turmoil in Liao, the state and the dynasty can dispatch corresponding troops to aid Liao through naval forces in many places and transport them.

Corresponding food, muskets, cannons, weapons, and other items.”

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, and Yang Sichang bowed and discussed.

As ministers chosen by Emperor Chongzhen, although most of them were from old bureaucrats, their views on the military level were far more thorough than other civil servants.

Before the imperial party members selected by Emperor Chongzhen formed a scale in the dynasty, Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin and others needed to shoulder the burden of the Military Affairs Office and promote the steady implementation of the plan.

The power of the water division that Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and others could see was limited to the many plans in Liao. They did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen would have the power of the water division and also prevent sea threats.

After all, with the expansion of opening the sea and commerce, no one can see whether the forces of European countries heading north will covetous after experiencing the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen never relaxed his vigilance against these wolves wearing gentlemen's coats, otherwise Zheng Zhilong would not have been appointed as the general of Liuqiu Town, to establish the Han Alliance forces. Since then, he has gathered the great and relatives in the capital to promote the joint maritime trade.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty’s opening and trading business cannot rely solely on a certain group.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little worried."

Wang Qia stepped forward and bowed, "Increasing the power of the navy will inevitably consume a lot of food and money. As for the current situation of the state dynasty, although the treasury has relieved a lot.

But if you want to make this happen, I am afraid that the cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and other departments will object to this, if..."

"Then can't the Military Affairs Office argue with reason?"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "The Military Affairs Office is responsible for suppressing the rebellion. It is true that the State Administration of China is recapturing western Liaoning, but have other territory been recaptured?

Did the Jianlu rebellion suppress it?

So many things have not been resolved. The Military Affairs Office has made corresponding plans in advance to suppress the rebellion and recover lost territories from the perspective of suppressing the rebellion and making corresponding plans in advance?

Don’t they want to watch the dynasty, suppress the Jianlu rebellion, and recover the lost land in Liaodong?”

Wang Qia was silent.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yang Sichang stepped forward and bowed, "According to what Wang Shufu said, it is necessary to add the naval commander stationed on Juehua Island and add the naval commander in Tianjin, Denglai and other places.

After all, the dynasty regained the old land in western Liaoning, but the rampant Jianlu Eight Banners will definitely not give up, so we must plan ahead of time."

This Yang Sichang is just good at speaking.

It seems that letting Yang He go and never hiring him is also a good thing.

Emperor Chongzhen raised his lips slightly, looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Since that's the case, let Yang Qing handle the matter of adding the navy's strength in detail.

I am determined to add the Liaoxi Navy to station in Juehua Island, and to use Zheng Zhifeng as the deputy general.

The Jinzhou Navy was added to garrison Lushunkou, and the general of Jinzhou Li Mingzhong was also in charge.

The Tianjin Navy was added to station in Tianjin, and the Tianjin General Lu Xiangjin was also in charge.

The Denglai Navy Division was added to guard Penglai, with Shen Zhixiang as the deputy general officer.

The Dongjiang Navy was added to guard Pidao, with Zuo Liangyu as the deputy general.

This matter is formed as soon as possible and submitted to the imperial court for discussion. If a minister in the court questiones the matter, then the Qing family will negotiate one by one."

"I obey the order."

Yang Sichang immediately bowed.

To develop the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty, we must slowly plan and take one step at a time, first actually control the offshore areas, and gradually expand the maritime ships under various establishments.

During this period, we continued to cultivate naval talents, gradually expanded the shipbuilding industry, and led the transformation of shipbuilding technology. When the Ming Dynasty had the power of the ocean, it would be the momentum that the Ming Navy would emerge.

First, we should use the concept of regional naval masters to make up for the historical debts owed by the Ming Dynasty and work hard to build the foundation. This is much more practical than to make some gimmicks.
