338 Do your best
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou knew the reason, and his old face turned slightly red, but then he became calm.
Zu Dashou also knew about this, so he peeked at Hong Chengchou at the first time and found that he was so calm that he cursed in his heart. The civil servant's face was indeed thicker than the city wall.
The reason why Ying-Ordei called Hong Chengchou was because after Hong Chengchou surrendered, he betrayed all the news to Huang Taiji, including during the previous war, North Korea sent a monk named Dubu to him to report the news about Jianlu's troops.
However, at that time, Huang Taiji decided to detour the Mongolian grassland to attack the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea would not run away, so he ignored it for the time being.
This time, since we were going to ask North Korea for tribute to food, grass and supplies again, we always had to find a reason. Therefore, Ying'erdai thought of this incident at the first time.
Logically speaking, even Jianlu knew that it was a bit unreasonable for them to ask North Korea to pay tribute to food, grass and supplies again, so they had to find a reason to cover it up.
As a top representative of scholars, Hong Chengchou had to confront North Korea in person and prove that North Korea's clear things once again, logically speaking, he would feel ashamed when facing the victim, but in the end he was nothing. This is why Zu Dashou scolded him in his heart.
If it was in the original history, it was also in October that because of Hong Chengchou's betrayal, Jianlu asked North Korea to hand over the two North Korean officials who led the clear affairs, and the British-Ordei was also in charge of the interrogation because he was familiar with North Korean affairs.
Sometimes, history still has its strong inertia. In this plane, Ying'erd was still in charge of this matter. However, Jianlu's request has been further improved.
It was not until this time that Ying'erdai wiped the blood that was smashed by Huang Taiji and retreated to the side.
Huang Taiji was still worried and looked at the people below and asked: "How can we prevent the Ming cavalry from attacking Liaodong through the sea again in the future?"
After a moment of silence in Chongzheng Hall, Jiergalang, as the commander of Ningjin's front line, replied first: "Your Majesty, Juehua Island must be taken down to make the Ming Navy lose the supply space in the middle. In this way, even if the Ming Navy comes to Liaodong again, it will inevitably increase its risk at sea. If there is a hurricane or something, it is possible to be wiped out."
After a pause, he immediately added: "Juehua Island is outside Ningyuan City, threatening the Ningjin line. Although we are not afraid of the Ming army, if the Ming army goes ashore to make trouble, it will be too convenient and will add a lot of trouble to us."
The Ming army on Juehua Island is indeed a problem. Huang Taiji thought so in his mind, and nodded and said, "Yes, the Ming army on Juehua Island must be removed!"
Hearing this, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, the Ming generals who originally belonged to Dongjiang Town, couldn't help but feel happy. If Juehua Island was to be removed, it would be possible that the navy would be used. And the Qing Dynasty was the one who was most familiar with naval warfare.
Sure enough, after Huang Taiji spoke, he glanced at them a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Because Dorgon had already stood up and also told Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the defense of Liaodong sea needs to be strengthened. Since the Ming Dynasty has tasted the sweetness of coming to Liaodong from the sea, it will definitely come again. Maybe it is possible to rebuild Dongjiang Town, so we have to be careful!"
When Huang Taiji heard this, he nodded with a serious expression. This is what he was most worried about.
When Dongjiang Town existed in the past, even if Mao Wenlong's troops were like beggars, it would have a headache for him for a long time. If he was to defend day and night, there would always be negligence, and he had to dispatch troops, which was equivalent to being dragged down by the Qing Dynasty's short-term troops.
At this time, Huang Taiji was actually very clear in his heart. Although there was no news within the prison, he was sure that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would definitely rebuild Dongjiang Town.
When he was thinking this, he saw Dorgon looking at Kong Youde and others at a glance, and then he said to him: "In addition to setting up multiple posts along the coast, we must also have enough cavalry to move and deal with the possible landing of the Ming army at any time. However, in this way, the coastline of our Qing Dynasty is too long, which will inevitably restrain a lot of people. Moreover, it will be very troublesome if the Ming army stays on the island first."
The previous Dongjiang Town was built on Pi Island. If the Ming Dynasty had not committed suicide, the Qing Dynasty would have done nothing.
After hearing his words, Huang Taiji nodded again, agreeing with Dorgon's idea and listening to his follow-up opinions.
Dorgon's face suddenly became solemn, and he suggested to Huang Taiji very seriously: "Your Majesty, it's time for our Qing Dynasty to have our own navy!"
Hearing this suggestion, the people in Chongzheng Hall couldn't help but whisper.
"We in the Qing Dynasty now have everything, but only the navy is missing, so this one can be found."
"Yes, with the navy, the Ming army would not want to gain a foothold on the island. If we come, we can destroy a group of people."
"But, the navy can't just say that it can be built. The advantage of our Qing Dynasty is still on land!"
"Yes, warships, sailors, and artillery for naval battles are all lacking in our Qing Dynasty!"
“…”
Huang Taiji looked at the bottom and started talking, but he was not bothered, and he was also thinking about this.
In general, he would not consider this proposal. Because in the case of the Qing Dynasty, there was no need for a navy at all, and there was no need to spend a lot of time, manpower and material resources to trick the navy.
However, the Ming Dynasty is likely to rebuild Dongjiang Town now. Dongjiang Town has already learned a painful lesson in the threat to Liaodong, and Dongjiang Town must be destroyed.
However, the navy is no better than an ordinary army!
Thinking of this, he glanced at Kong Youde and others again.
These Ming generals who came from Dongjiang Town were familiar with naval battles and had a group of skilled sailors under their command. When Kong Youde surrendered, he also brought artillery casting methods. As for warships, they also brought some one after another.
Before, when he swept across the islands in Liaodong, Shang Kexi led his navy to submit a letter of fame to the Qing Dynasty.
However, after Dongjiang Town was gone, Huang Taiji felt that the Qingshui Master had no need to exist, so he did not set it up again.
Now, due to the situation, the matter of the Qingshui Master has been put on the agenda again.
Alas, without those Shanxi merchants, the situation in the Qing Dynasty was really much more difficult. Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, and gritted his teeth at the Shanhaiguan Pass.
However, despite this, he was still cautious about the establishment of the Grand Seizure Master.
Because if we set up a navy, it would require a lot of manpower and material resources, while the Qing Dynasty's manpower and material resources were limited, which made Huang Taiji, the head of the family, feel a little embarrassed, and it is not just that he doesn't want Kong Youde and others to escape from his control.
Seeing Huang Taiji pondering, Jirhalang understood his concerns and followed Dorgon's back: "Your Majesty, if my Qing dynasty can rebuild the navy, we can ask North Korea to provide some warships and sailors without us building warships. Moreover, if our Qing Dynasty had a navy, not only would we have guaranteed the coast, but we could even use the same way to treat others, and we could also attack the pass through the navy. This was more convenient than detouring through the Mongolian grasslands!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dorgon raised his eyebrows and immediately agreed, "Backing from Ningyuan has been a lot less voyage, so there is great potential for this!"
When Huang Taiji heard these two of them, he was really happy. After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Hong Chengchou and asked, "What do Hong Qing think?"
When Hong Chengchou saw the question, he quickly replied respectfully: "Ming Dynasty has always only focused on the defense of the Great Wall defense lines such as Shanhaiguan and Jizhen. He never thought that the Qing Dynasty would have the possibility of attacking from the sea. Therefore, Tianjin and other places were all unprepared. If the Qing Dynasty could really land in Tianjin, it would inevitably be unexpected."
Speaking of this, he thought for a while and added: "But if you pass by the sea, you must first defeat the Ming Navy. Otherwise, something big may happen!"
The so-called big thing is that the retreat is cut off and the entire army is wiped out. He is really determined to use this euphemism.
When Huang Taiji heard this, he frowned. Although they were from a fishing and hunting nation, who has survived by fishing and hunting for so many years since the rebellion? How simple is it to steal the Ming Dynasty? Not to mention, they didn't go to sea to make a living, let alone fight at sea.
"What is the situation of the Navy of Ming Kingdom?" Huang Taiji asked as he thought so.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou looked at Kong Youde and others and replied: "For a long time, the Denglai Naval Division in Liaodong has been mainly composed of the Denglai Naval Division, supplemented by the Shanhaiguan and Tianjin Naval Division. Now the Denglai Naval Division has been in name only. Logically speaking, the Shanhaiguan and Tianjin Naval Division are not worth worrying. But I didn't expect that there were still ships that could transport 5,000 cavalry here this time."
Although the transport ship is different from the warship, the number of these ships is still beyond his previous impression, so I specially reminded him.
"I know this!" Jirgalang heard it and said, "The more ships, the captured Ming army did not accept the explanation, saying that the Ming Dynasty recruited a group of pirates, and the pirate leader led by him had a good relationship with the new Shanhaiguan General!"
When Huang Taiji heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How powerful is this pirate?"
Hearing this, Shang Kexi couldn't help but say, "Master, they are all pirates, what kind of combat power can they have!"
He was a regular navy general, so he naturally looked down on ordinary pirates.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming also agreed repeatedly after hearing this.
Huang Taiji glanced at them, then looked at Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly replied: "These pirates must not be compared with the regular navy of the Ming Kingdom."
After hearing this, Huang Taiji measured in his heart whether he should build a great Qingshui Master?
