Hong Chengchou heard it himself, and of course he knew the reason. His old face suddenly blushed slightly, but then he became calm.
Zu Dashou also knew about this, so he immediately took a peek at Hong Chengchou and found that he had become indifferent so quickly. He cursed in his heart. The face of a civil official was indeed thicker than the city wall.
The reason why Ying Erdai wants to name Hong Chengchou is because after Hong Chengchou surrendered, he betrayed all the information to Huang Taiji, including that during the previous war, North Korea sent a monk named Dubu to rush to him to report News about Jianlu sending troops.
But at that time, Huang Taiji decided to take a detour to 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 have to ask for tribute of grain and grass supplies from North Korea again, we have to find a reason. Therefore, Ying Erdai remembered this matter immediately.
Logically speaking, even Jianlu knew that it was unreasonable for them to once again demand tribute of grain and grass supplies from North Korea, so they had to find a reason to cover it up.
As a top representative among scholars, Hong Chengchou went to North Korea to confront him and once again prove North Korea's transparency. Logically speaking, he should feel ashamed when facing the victim, but in the end he acted as if nothing had happened. This is the reason why Zu Dashou scolded him in his heart. .
If in the original history, it was also in this October, because of Hong Chengchou's betrayal, Jianlu asked North Korea to hand over the two North Korean officials who led the transparency incident, and Ying Erdai was also responsible for the interrogation because he was familiar with North Korean affairs.
Sometimes, history still has its strong inertia. No, in this plane, there is still Ying Erdai who is responsible for this matter. However, Jianlu's request has gone one step further.
It was only then that Ying Erdai wiped the blood from Huang Taiji's blow and retreated to the side.
Huang Taiji still looked worried. He looked at the people below and asked, "How can we prevent the Ming cavalry from invading Liaodong by sea again in the future?"
In the Chongzheng Hall, after a moment of silence, Jierhalang, as the commander of the Ningjin front line, first replied: "Your Majesty, Juehua Island must be captured so that the Ming Dynasty Navy loses its supply place. In this way Come on, even if the Ming Navy comes to Liaodong again, it will inevitably increase its risks at sea. If it encounters a hurricane or something, the entire army may be annihilated."
After a pause, he immediately added: "Qijuehua Island is just outside Ningyuan City, threatening the Ningjin front line. Although we are not afraid of the Ming army, it would be too convenient for the Ming army to come ashore and cause trouble, and it would increase our number of troops. Less trouble."
The Ming army on Juehua Island is indeed a problem. Huang Taiji thought this in his mind, then nodded and said: "Yes, the Ming army on Juehua Island must be eradicated!"
Hearing this, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, all the famous generals who originally belonged to Dongjiang Town, couldn't help but feel happy. If Juehua Island is to be eradicated, the navy will most likely be used. As for the Qing Dynasty, they were the most familiar with naval warfare.
Sure enough, after Huang Taiji spoke, he glanced at them, but in the end he said nothing.
Because Dorgon had already stood up and told Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the coastal defense of Liaodong also needs to be strengthened. Now that the Ming Dynasty has tasted the sweetness of coming to Liaodong from the sea, it will definitely come again. Maybe it will be necessary to rebuild Dongjiang Town." It’s possible, we have to guard against it!”
After hearing this, Huang Taiji nodded with a stern expression. This was what he was most worried about.
When Dongjiang Town existed in the past, even if Mao Wenlong's subordinates were like beggars, it still gave him a headache for who knows how long. In fact, no matter how hard we defend day and night, there will always be times when we are negligent, and troops must be stationed, which is equivalent to holding back the Qing Dynasty's originally small number of troops.
At this time, Huang Taiji knew very well that although there was no news inside the customs, he was sure that the Ming Emperor would definitely rebuild Dongjiang Town.
While he was thinking this, he saw Dorgon glance at Kong Youde and others, and then told him again: "In addition to setting up more outposts along the coast, we also need to have enough cavalry to be mobile and ready to deal with the coming tomorrow." The Ming army may land on the island. But in this case, our Qing coastline is too long, which will inevitably tie up many people. And if the Ming army stays on the island first, it will be very troublesome. "
The previous Dongjiang Town was built on Pi Island. If the Ming Dynasty had not committed suicide, the Qing Dynasty would have been unable to do anything.
After hearing what he said, Huang Taiji nodded again, agreed with Dorgon's idea, and listened to his subsequent comments.
Dorgon's face suddenly became solemn, and he suggested to Huang Taiji very seriously: "Your Majesty, it's time for us in the Qing Dynasty to have our own navy!"
After hearing this suggestion, everyone in the Chongzheng Hall could not help but start talking in low voices.
"Our Qing Dynasty has everything now, except for the navy, which we can have."
"Yes, with the navy, the Ming army will never have a chance to gain a foothold on the island. With a group of them, we can destroy a group of them."
"But the Navy can't just build what it says. Our Qing Dynasty's advantage is still on land!"
"Yes, as for warships, sailors, and artillery for naval battles, our Qing Dynasty lacks all of these!"
"..."
Huang Taiji looked at the discussion below. He was not annoyed, he was also thinking about it.
Under normal circumstances, he would not consider this proposal. Because as far as the situation of the Qing Dynasty was concerned, 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 mess with the navy.
However, now the Ming Dynasty is likely to rebuild Dongjiang Town. As for the threat of Dongjiang Town to Liaodong, they have already learned a painful lesson, and Dongjiang Town must be destroyed.
However, the Navy is no better than an ordinary army!
Thinking about this, he took another look at Kong Youde and others.
These bright generals who originally came from Dongjiang Town are familiar with naval warfare and have a group of skilled sailors under them. And when Kong Youde came over, he also brought the artillery casting method. As for the warships, they also brought some.
It was Shang Kexi who led his navy to surrender to the Qing Dynasty before sweeping across the islands in Liaodong.
However, after the disappearance of Dongjiang Town, Huang Taiji felt that there was no need for the existence of the Great Qing Navy, so he did not set up another one.
Now, forced by the situation, the matter of the Great Qingshui Master has been put on the agenda again.
Alas, without those Shanxi merchants, the situation in the Qing Dynasty would be much more difficult. Huang Taiji sighed in his heart and gritted his teeth with hatred for Shanhaiguan Pass.
But despite this, he is still cautious about establishing the Great Qingshui Division.
Because setting up a navy would require a lot of manpower and material resources, and the manpower and material resources of the Qing Dynasty were limited. This made the leader Huang Taiji a little embarrassed, and it was not just that he did not want Kong Youde and others to escape his control.
Seeing Huang Taiji meditating, Jierhalang understood his concerns, and followed Dorgon and said: "Your Majesty, if I can rebuild the navy, I can ask North Korea to provide some warships and sailors without us. Then build warships. And if our Qing Dynasty had a navy, not only would the coastal areas be protected, we could even treat others in their own way, and we could also attack the pass through the navy. This would be better than taking a detour to Mongolia. Grassland is even more convenient!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dorgon raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and immediately agreed, "Boarding the ship from Ningyuan will save a lot of voyage. There is a lot of potential for this matter!"
Hearing what they said, Huang Taiji was really happy. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Hong Chengchou and asked, "What do you think Hong Qing?"
When Hong Chengchou asked, he quickly and respectfully replied: "The Ming Dynasty always only focused on the defense of the Great Wall defense lines such as Shanhaiguan and Jizhen. It never thought that the Qing Dynasty would have the possibility of attacking from the sea. Therefore, Tianjin and other places all It is undefended. If the Great Qing Navy can really land in Tianjin, it will definitely take them by surprise."
Having said this, he thought for a moment and then added: "But if you go by sea, you must first defeat the Ming Navy. Otherwise, big trouble may happen!"
The so-called serious incident does not mean that the retreat is cut off and the entire army is wiped out. He really meant it in this euphemistic way.
When Huang Taiji heard this, he frowned. Although they are from a fishing and hunting nation, who has been living on fishing and hunting for so many years since they started the army? How easy it is to rob the Ming Dynasty! Not to mention, they didn't go to sea to make a living, let alone fight at sea.
"How is the situation of the Ming Navy?" Huang Taiji asked after thinking this.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou glanced at Kong Youde and others before replying: "For a long time, the Denglai Navy has been the main force here in Liaodong, supplemented by the Shanhaiguan and Tianjin navies. Now the Denglai Navy exists in name only. It stands to reason that For me, the Shanhaiguan and Tianjin navies are nothing to worry about. But I didn’t expect that there would be ships capable of transporting five thousand cavalry troops this time.”
Although transport ships are different from warships, the number of these ships is still beyond his previous impression, so he specially reminded them.
"I do know this!" Jirharang said after hearing this, "Those extra ships, according to the captured Ming army who refused to accept the explanation at night, said that the Ming Dynasty recruited a group of pirates, and the leader of the pirates, I have a good relationship with the new commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass!"
When Huang Taiji heard this, he quickly asked: "How strong is this pirate?"
Hearing this, Shang Kexi couldn't help but said: "Master, they are just pirates, what kind of fighting power can they have!"
He is a regular naval general, so he naturally looks down on ordinary pirates.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming listened and echoed.
Huang Taiji glanced at them and then at Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou quickly replied: "These pirates are definitely not comparable to the regular navy of the Ming Dynasty."
After Huang Taiji heard this, he weighed it in his mind, should he build a large navy?
