"Your Majesty, please report in detail. It is located in Longshan Lake in the Yalu River. It is inland and flows into the Yalu River due to the river."
Whedon was relatively clear about the Qing Dynasty's plans to build docks, and they did not hide it.
Beihai Navy not only frequently patrolled the Bohai Sea, but also ventured into the Yalu River for war purposes to spy on the Manchus.
To this end, the General Staff also got involved and sent engineers trained over many years to draw maps under the escort of elite soldiers.
After all, there are many mountainous areas along the Yalu River, most of which are wild Jurchen tribes, and the Manchu power does not project much.
"Longshan Lake..."
Zhu Yixi shook his head. He had never heard of this place.
But that's fine. The dock that has been built will be ready for use when the time comes.
"Since the Manchus want to build it, let them build it!"
The emperor suddenly laughed, and Prime Minister Huiden shuddered inexplicably.
“Is there anyone else there in Jinzhou (near Lushun)?”
"There shouldn't be many people left."
Xiang Huiden thought for a while and said directly: "Previously General Li (Li Yingren) occupied important territory there and swept through most of the manor villages. The surrounding area was very empty."
"Jiannu immediately abandoned this place and guarded Fuzhou Guard."
"Bring me the map—"
Zhu Yixi was not sure about this, so he could only browse the maps drawn by the General Staff Department in the past two years.
Thanks to the navy's sweep, the Liaodong Peninsula was sparsely populated, the map was drawn in more detail, and the general guard city was also clearly understood.
Looking at it this way, whether it is Jinzhou or Fuzhou, they are basically still on the territory of Dalian in later generations.
"You said, which place is suitable for landing from Liaodong now?"
When the emperor asked, Prime Minister Hui Deng was startled and immediately said: "Whether it is Jinzhou or Fuzhou, it is too far away from the so-called Shengjing and is not suitable for a quick march."
As he spoke, Prime Minister Huiden pointed his finger, skipping Gai County, and went directly up the coastline to the mouth of the Liaohe River:
"Although I don't know the situation of the Liao River, the navy can reach Shengjing from this river."
"If you are infantry, the path is the shortest. When you go north along the river, there is no shortage of drinking water on the road. There are cities along the way, so it is easy for the soldiers to supply supplies."
"Water and land at the same time?"
Suddenly, the emperor discovered a new bright spot.
"The navy sailed upstream, carrying supplies and baggage, and the infantry defeated the enemy and captured the city."
"This is indeed a good method."
Is this what I'm talking about?
Prime Minister Hui Deng was a little confused, but seeing that what the emperor said was so reasonable, he could only choose to affirm it.
In fact, when the emperor wanted to land from Liaodong, he was not surprised, nor did he wonder why he didn't go from western Liaoning.
As early as when Wu Sangui crossed the sea directly from Kaesong to Incheon, he realized the importance of sea transportation to the imperial army.
As long as you have a boat, you can land at will on the coastline, which is impossible to prevent.
As for western Liaoning, the narrow territory with dozens of cities and fortresses built into copper cities and iron walls by the Manchu Qing Dynasty has lagged behind the world.
At this time, the emperor was still enjoying himself. He was muttering about the three-pronged advance and the navy's cooperation. For a while, he actually fell into amusing himself.
Prime Minister Hui Deng did not dare to disturb him, and silently took out a folding fan from his arms, with Zhuge Kongming's appearance painted on it, and a jade pendant on the handle, which looked simple and elegant.
Although it is not as impressive as the feather fan, it is not that abrupt after all.
"What, did you change the fan?"
Suddenly, the emperor came back to his senses and looked at the paper fan on the chest of the scar-faced Prime Minister Huiden, still feeling funny.
"Your Majesty, I like fans," Huiden said with a smile.
"what ever!"
Zhu Yixi waved his hand, he was too lazy to care about such trivial matters.
"During the recent Beihai Navy drills, you should also take some refreshments, so don't develop into a straggler."
"Don't worry, you can chop off my head when the time comes."
Hui Dengxiang patted his chest and spoke plausibly.
The emperor ignored him and left the station alone, wandering on the beach.
The reeds stretch as far as the eye can see, birds are flying everywhere, fishing boats are wandering by the river, and the mouth of Haihe River is quite lively.
“Such a good place cannot be placed here.”
The emperor muttered, thinking about the fort.
The establishment of Tianjin Prefecture does not mean the loss of its defense function. On the contrary, it has become more important because of the advent of the maritime era.
Although the fort is a bit conservative, it must be repaired.
After touring Tianjin for several days, the emperor did not have any leisure time. Under the protection of the royal guards, he went privately incognito and took a tour of the countryside.
The establishment of the village and the formation of the three elders of the village are the focus of his wait and see.
This kind of grassroots organization is very complete in Gyeonggi. The establishment of township leaders, township elders, and township police immediately freed the county government and also violated the interests of the clan.
According to the past, if the people do not promote it, the officials will not repay it.
But the three elders are close at hand, and they are looking forward to it. How could they not know the truth, and the restrictions on the clan are slow and continuous.
For example, if a family loses its cattle, sheep, or money, it will definitely not go to the county government. But now that the three elders are close at hand, it will definitely go to someone who can make the decision.
Roosters crow, dogs robber, weddings and funerals occur, bridges are built and roads are built, corvees and taxes are paid, all within a radius of dozens of miles. All three elders have the right to participate.
And this also usurped the right to speak of the local gentry.
Similarly, when the three elders of the township join the ranks of the ninth rank, they are naturally restricted by the county government. The tax corvee does not dare to play tricks, and the people seem to be more constrained and exploited.
There are pros and cons, who can say?
Although it was just a quick glance, Zhu Yixi had a preliminary impression of the situation among the people.
Back in the city, the noisy Tianjin gave him the biggest surprise.
Thanks to the prosperity of maritime transportation, southern merchants continued to move north, and Tianjin became the first stop.
Cotton, linen, silk, and wool were continuously accumulated here, and then turned into a large textile field.
The girls in the city are more open-minded, especially the teenage girls, who are happy to work in the weaving fields and save dowries for themselves.
After having money, girls started to spend more, and rouge, gouache, silks and fabrics became prosperous.
As for spiritual needs, in addition to storytelling, Kunqu Opera from the south has also become a new favorite, and the babbling young masters are popular among women.
The market culture is becoming more and more prosperous.
However, for the scholar-bureaucrat class, Kunqu Opera was a low-class opera, and only dramas were serious dramas that could be performed on the stage.
Just as Ci was despised in the Tang Dynasty and admired in the Song Dynasty, Yuan Zaju was loved by the people in the Yuan Dynasty, but became popular in the Ming Dynasty.
For no other reason, because of its satirical allusions to the imperial court, it was banned many times during the Hongwu and Yongle years. The more banned it was, the more literati and officials liked to read it.
During the Longwan period, everything was completely empty. Instead, repertoires such as ethical enlightenment, praise of virtues, and the enlightenment of gods and spirits took over the mainstream, gradually becoming hollow.
As a result, it occupied the mainstream of the market, allowing scholar-bureaucrats to vent their emotions.
Writing was despised in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it has become a serious industry in the Ming Dynasty. History is so interesting.
Beijing is the most benign place with many rules. Zhu Yixi is very interested in Tianjin's completely different atmosphere.
While the emperor was strolling around the market with great interest, Li Jizu, the commander-in-chief of Ji Town, was eagerly summoned.
