If it had been before, Huang Taiji would have rejected Jianshui Master's proposal without even thinking about it, because the effort and reward were too uneconomical.
If he wanted to prevent the Ming Navy from landing in Liaodong, he only needed to destroy the Ming Navy's stronghold on the Liaodong Island, and he had already done this using a variety of means.
In addition, in normal times, we strengthen patrols along the coastline, set up sentries, and deploy cavalry in important places. Even if the Ming Dynasty navy lands, they can be dealt with.
To be honest, Huang Taiji would not pay much attention to the Ming Dynasty navy like Dongjiang Town. Because at the beginning, Mao Wenlong's army only dared to harass the place when the Qing army was not around.
It is also because of this that both Huang Taiji and others were careless. I feel that if Dongjiang Town is gone and heavy troops are deployed on the Ningjin front line, the rear will be safe.
But who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would actually shrink the Guanning Army outside the Pass, and would mobilize elite troops to raid the hinterland of Liaodong from the sea by ship!
This lesson made Huang Taiji realize that after the Ming Dynasty adjusted its strategy against Liao, it must have attached great importance to the sea route, which was why there was such a surprise attack.
In this way, if elites from the Ming Dynasty came to Liaodong by sea in the future, although the cavalry could be deployed at sentries and key places, although big losses could be prevented, small losses would definitely not be less. The accumulation of a small amount of money into a large amount would be unbearable for the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, the most important thing is that if there are too many such things, it will definitely have a huge blow to the morale of the Qing army and the people. It is difficult to predict what kind of reaction this will cause.
Also, the Ming Dynasty reduced its military strength and greatly strengthened the first-line defense of the Great Wall in Ji Town. This once again detoured the Mongolian grassland to attack Guannei, which added great uncertainty to the Qing Dynasty.
If the Qing Dynasty went and failed to open a gap in the Great Wall, even if there was no loss of troops, the Qing Dynasty would not be able to afford the materials, food and fodder consumed by the mobilization of troops.
Considering these aspects, if the Qing Dynasty could attack the Ming Dynasty by sea, it could use Ningyuan and Juehua Island as transit points, or even force troops to attack the border, and use the attack on Shanhaiguan as a cover, and the boarding point could be moved forward.
This means that if the Qing Dynasty had a navy, it could invade the capital of the Ming Dynasty if it advanced, and it could use its navy to defend the Liaodong coast when retreating to prevent harassment by the Ming army.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was moved.
He raised his head and looked at the original Dongjiang Town generals again, then at Hong Chengchou, and then at Ying Erdai. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "If we want to build a Great Qingshui Division, how many warships will be needed?" Only then can we defeat the navy of Ming Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Huang Taiji was considering building a large water division.
As a result, several people with interests were immediately overjoyed.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Monk Kexi came out to play almost in unison.
"Master, my slave only needs 200 warships!"
"Master, my slave only needs half of the warships of the Ming Navy!"
"Master, I only need one hundred for a large ship, two hundred for a medium ship, and one hundred for a small ship!"
The three of them spoke together, and under the influence of each other, only the words "Master" could be heard clearly by others.
Therefore, the three of them looked at each other, and they all seemed to blame each other for what they said.
Huang Taiji saw their excitement and was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He just frowned and said: "Are there any shipwrights who can build a warship? How long does it take to build a warship? The sailors and artillery on the ship Woolen cloth?"
Speaking of which, although the navy is not taken seriously by people of this era, it is actually a technical branch. It is not like fighting on land. No one can fight with a stick.
This time, it was Kong Youde who took the lead and said: "Master, if we, the Qing Dynasty, prepare these, I am afraid it will take several years and cost a lot of money. It is not worth the loss. It is better to recruit the North Korean navy!"
"Yes, there is also a warship that the slave came here that has been idle and can be repaired." Geng Zhongming followed up with a suggestion.
Huang Taiji nodded after hearing this. He had already mentioned the North Korean navy before, and this was the fundamental reason why Huang Taiji would consider it.
He turned to look at Ying Erdai and shouted in a cold voice: "Did you hear that? The Qing Dynasty still needs the North Korean navy!"
"My slave understands!" Upon hearing this, Ying Erdai immediately rolled up his sleeves and responded quickly.
Although he knew it wouldn't be easy. Because when the North Korean gunmen were recruited before, the North Korean monarchs and ministers were still chattering, and even reported that they secretly penetrated the Ming Dynasty.
This time we not only need North Korea's food and grass, but also their navy, which is really difficult.
However, Ying Erdai knew that he had no way out, so he agreed immediately.
Seeing that the matter was settled like this, Duduo suddenly came out and asked: "Your Majesty, which banner does this navy belong to?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. The Navy cannot be divided into the Eight Banners, right?
After hearing this, Huang Taiji glanced at him, and said after a while: "Since Ying Erdai is asked to go to North Korea to recruit the navy, then the navy will be under his control."
Obviously, Huang Taiji is very good at taking advantage of people's hearts. He gave this promise that even if Ying Erdai had the power in his own hands, he would order as many Korean warships as possible so that the Great Qing Navy could have combat power as soon as possible.
When Duduo heard this, he didn't have any objection. He just glanced at the Han generals and said, "We haven't found out who the spy was last time? This time, it seems that someone tipped off Mingguo's sneak attack. This naval officer , but never give it to an unreliable person!"
Upon hearing this, Kong Youde and others paled, but they did not dare to argue and lowered their heads.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Huang Taiji reprimanded after hearing this, "Everyone in the palace is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, I know it in my heart."
Upon hearing this, all the officials and generals showed gratitude and quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.
However, they never expected that after retiring from the dynasty, Huang Taiji left behind his own son Hauge and said to him: "If the navy wants to have combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the appointment of those Han generals is indispensable. . However, we must also be on guard against them. I am going to appoint you as Navy Supervisor when the time comes, and you have to keep an eye on them for me, do you understand?"
When Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly agreed.
Just like that, the wings flapped by Zhang Mingwei's time travel also caused Jianlu's navy, which he didn't have before, to start making preparations. As for whether it will play the role they want, time will tell.
………………
At almost the same time, in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, since Duke Xingguo went on an expedition, the people in the capital had become accustomed to messengers flying to deliver news.
In these days, news about the south came one after another.
At the beginning, good news came, saying that several big bandit leaders had been recruited and that many Huguang areas, including Wuchang Prefecture, had been recovered almost without bloodshed. This made the entire capital, including the court, a place of harmony. The praise for Duke Xingguo also poured in like a tide towards Emperor Chongzhen.
However, this may not all be a good thing.
No, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department and the governor of the East Factory, came to Emperor Chongzhen with some memorials and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live my lord, these memorials are all for Sir."
"Haha, good!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile after hearing this, "Sir, he has achieved several great victories in a row and eliminated more than a million thieves who were recruited from Anhui. Such great achievements should indeed be..."
When he said this, he found that Wang Chengen's expression seemed a little wrong, so he didn't say any more, but frowned and asked a little unhappy: "What, you are unhappy?"
When Wang Chengen heard this, he was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would misunderstand him, so he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, these memorials say that Mr. Sir has reached the title of Duke of the country. For such great achievements, he should be crowned king!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately knew the reason for Wang Chengen's expression. However, he didn't care much. He just sneered and said: "These people are really damned. Do they think that because I have such a small belly, I will think that my great achievements will shock the master and punish me?"
If my husband hadn't traveled from the next life, I wouldn't have known that my country would be destroyed in two years. At the beginning, I had already said that I would share the world equally with my husband and be crowned king, so would I care?
With this in mind, he immediately instructed Wang Chengen: "Who are these people? I want to see who has such ulterior motives!"
"Most of them are imperial censors!" Wang Cheng'en heard this and quickly replied, "Some of them should have written such a memorial because they wanted to win the favor of Mr. Wang and Lord Long Live. But Lord Long Live knows everything clearly, and there must be something in it. There are also people with ulterior motives!"
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 allow them to play. How about making Mr. Zhennan King?"
"What if sir makes great achievements again?" Wang Chengen asked cautiously after hearing this.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "What do you mean?"
"Long live my Lord, this is what I think." When Wang Chengen heard this, he quickly said, "Master once said that this is not his ambition. What he wants to do is to teach science and technology knowledge and create a school of thought after the world is at peace. Be like Saint Kong."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this. Zhang Mingwei did indeed say so.
However, at this time, he felt that it would be unjustifiable if he did not reward Zhang Mingwei. After all, when Zhang Mingwei first crossed over, Songjin was defeated and bandits were raging. It really looked like the country was about to be subjugated!
But now, not to mention the great victory in Liaodong, the bandit rebellion has also seen hope of being quelled, and there are also donations of glass, cement formula, etc. To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was appropriate to grant Zhang Mingwei a royal title. of.
