339 The King

If it were the past, Huang Taiji would not have thought about it and directly rejected the proposal of Jianshui Master because the efforts and rewards were too unprofitable.

If you want to prevent the Ming Navy from landing in Liaodong, you only need to destroy the Ming Navy's stronghold on the Liaodong island, and he has done this with many means.

In addition, in normal times, we strengthen coastline patrols, set up posts, and deploy cavalry troops in important places. Even if the Ming Navy lands, we can deal with them.

Just because of the Ming navy like Dongjiang Town, to be honest, Huang Taiji really didn't take it seriously. Because Mao Wenlong's army only dared to harass the place when the Qing army was absent.

It is also because of this that both Huang Taiji himself and others were actually careless. He felt that Dongjiang Town was gone and deployed heavy troops on Ningjin's front line, so the rear would be safe.

But who knew that the Ming Kingdom had actually conquered the Guanning Army outside the pass and would draw elite troops to raid the hinterland of Liaodong from the sea!

This lesson made Huang Taiji realize that after the Ming Dynasty adjusted its strategy towards Liao, it must have attached great importance to sea routes, so that there would be such a surprise attack.

In this way, if there were elite troops from the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong in the future, relying solely on guard posts and key places to deploy cavalry forces could prevent large losses, but small losses would definitely not be less. Accumulating a small amount into a large amount is unbearable for the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, the most important thing is that if there are too many such things, it will definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the Qing Dynasty and the people. It is difficult to predict what reaction this will cause.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty shrank its troops and greatly strengthened the defense of the Great Wall in Jizhen. This Qing Dynasty once again detoured the Mongolian grassland to attack the pass, increasing great uncertainty.

If the Qing Dynasty went there and could not open the gap in the Great Wall, even if there was no loss of troops, the materials, food, and grass consumed by the Qing Dynasty could not afford it.

Considering these aspects, if the Qing Dynasty could attack Ming by sea, Ningyuan and Juehua Island would be used as transit stations, and even large troops could be pushed to the border, using the attack on Shanhaiguan as a cover, the place where the boarding board could be moved forward.

This means that if the Qing Dynasty had a navy, it could attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If it retreated, it could use the navy to defend the coast of Liaodong to prevent the harassment of the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was moved.

He looked up and looked at the original Dongjiang Town generals again, looked at Hong Chengchou, glanced at Ying'erdai, thought for a while, and then asked, "If we want to build a Qing Dynasty Naval Division, how many warships are needed to defeat the Ming Dynasty Naval Division?"

As soon as he heard this, everyone knew that Huang Taiji was considering establishing the Qingshui Master.

So, the few people who were interested were immediately overjoyed.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, monk Kexi, almost in unison, made a series of music.

"Master, I only need two hundred warships!"

"Master, I only need half of the Ming Navy warship!"

"Master, the servant only needs one hundred big ships, two hundred medium ships, and one hundred small boats are enough!"

These three people said it together, and after influence of each other, the three words "Master" can be heard clearly by others.

Therefore, the three of them looked at each other and all meant to blame each other for talking.

Huang Taiji saw their excitement and felt a little unhappy, but the surface was not revealed, and he just frowned and said, "There are shipwrecks made by warships? How long will it take for a warship to be completed? What about the sailors and artillery on the ship?"

Speaking of which, although the navy is not valued by people of this era, it is actually a technical army. It is not like fighting on land, and no one can fight a stick.

This time, Kong Youde snatched the first one and said: "Master, if we, the Qing Dynasty, prepare these, it will probably take several years and cost a lot, which will not be worth the money. It is better to recruit the Korean navy!"

"Yes, there are also warships that the slaves have been idle before and can be repaired." Geng Zhongming immediately suggested.

Huang Taiji nodded after hearing this. He had already mentioned the Korean navy before, and this was the fundamental reason why Huang Taiji would consider.

He turned to look at Ying'erdai and shouted coldly: "Have you heard that, I, the Qing Dynasty, still need the Korean navy!"

"I understand!" When Ying'erdai heard this, he immediately shook his sleeves and responded quickly.

Although he knew that this was definitely not easy. Because when he was recruiting North Korean musketeers before, the North Korean monarch and ministers were still slapping their minds and even had their secret understanding of the country.

This time, it is really difficult to not only require North Korea's food and grass, but also their navy.

However, Ying'erdai knew that he had no way out, so he agreed immediately.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Duoduo suddenly stepped out and asked, "Your Majesty, which flag is the ruler of this navy?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Can the navy be divided into the Eight Banners?

When Huang Taiji heard this, he glanced at him, pondered for a moment and said, "Since he wanted Ying'erdai, a servant, to go to Korea to seek a naval commander, then the naval commander will be under his control."

Obviously, Huang Taiji is good at using people's hearts. He made this promise that even if Ying'erdai had the power in his hands, he would have as many Korean warships as possible and let the Qingshui Division have combat power as early as possible.

When Duoduo heard this, he had no objection. He just glanced at the generals and said, "The last internal response has not found out who it was? This time, Minggou's sneak attack seemed to be informed by someone. This navy must not be given to unreliable people!"

When Kong Youde and others heard this, their faces turned pale, but they did not dare to argue and lowered their heads.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Huang Taiji reprimanded, "Everyone in the palace is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and I know it in my heart."

When they heard this, the Han officials and generals all showed gratitude and quickly knelt down to thank them.

However, they never expected that after resigning from the court, Huang Taiji left his own son Haoge and said to him: "If the navy wants to have combat power as soon as possible, the appointment of those Han generals is essential. However, there must be defense against them. I am going to appoint you as the navy supervisor at that time. Do you have to stare at them for me, do you understand?"

When Haoge heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly responded.

Just like that, Zhang Mingwei crossed the flapped wings, which Jianlu had not originally started to prepare for. As for whether they would play the role they wanted, time will be required to test it.

……………………

Almost at the same time, in the capital of Ming Dynasty, since Duke Xingguo went to war, the people of the capital had become accustomed to messengers to report their messages.

Within these days, news about the South has been passed one by one.

At the beginning, good news came, saying that several thieves were recruited and the Huguang area was recovered almost without any bloodshed. This made the capital and the court sound amid the harmony. The praise for Duke Xingguo was like a tide to Emperor Chongzhen.

However, this may not be a good thing.

Now, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the seal and the admiral of the East Factory, came to Emperor Chongzhen with some memorials and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live the emperor, these memorials are all for the sir."

"Haha, okay!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and said with a smile, "Mr., several consecutive victories, and more than one million people were eliminated and recruited thieves. Such a great achievement is indeed..."

When he said this, he found that Wang Chengen's expression seemed a little wrong, so he did not say anything further, but frowned and asked a little unhappy: "Why, are you unhappy?"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would misunderstand, so he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, these memorials mean that the sir is already the Duke of the Kingdom. If you have such great achievements, you should be granted the king!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately knew the reason why Wang Chengen's expression was wrong. However, he didn't care much and just sneered: "These people deserve to die. They thought that my belly was so small that they would feel that their achievements were so great that they would deal with the master?"

If my husband hadn't come from later generations, I wouldn't have known that the country would have been destroyed in two years. At that time, I had already said that I would just be the king of the world with my husband. I would have cared about it?

Thinking of this, he immediately instructed Wang Chengen and said, "Who are these people? I want to see who is so ulterior motive!"

"Most of them are censors!" Wang Chengen replied quickly, "Some of them should have wanted to win the favor of the gentleman and win the favor of the Master Long Sui, so they submitted such a memorial. But Master Long Sui was very clear, and there must be people with ulterior motives among them!"

The implication is that it is difficult to distinguish the true thoughts of these people.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said coldly, "Then I will approve what they reported. How about the title of Mr. Zhennan?"

"What if sir makes great contributions?" Wang Chengen asked carefully after hearing this.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face changed: "What do you mean?"

"Long lively, I think so." Wang Chengen hurriedly said, "Mr. I once said that my ambition is not here. What he wants to do is to teach science and technology knowledge after peace in the world, and to create a school of thought and be like Confucius."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded. Zhang Mingwei did say so.

However, at this time, he felt that it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't reward Zhang Mingwei. After all, when Zhang Mingwei just came here, Song Jin was defeated and the thieves were raging, which really seemed to be a country that was destroyed!
