Daishan was overjoyed when he heard that the North Korean navy arrived two days earlier than the agreed time. In this way, the army did not have to wait two more days. After all, the army did not stay for more than a day, and the man had to eat horse chews, which consumed a lot of money.
"Haha, it's just North Korea. How dare you not listen to me, the Qing Dynasty? I've expected it. They only dare to be early, and they definitely don't dare to be late!" Haug immediately commented with a laugh.
Dai Shandu nodded and said: "Yes, the rulers of North Korea are all in the hands of our Qing Dynasty. I forgive them and they don't dare to violate the emperor's will!"
Both of them said this, and others followed suit, including Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others.
In fact, even these three people looked down on North Korea. In the last battle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to completely defeat North Korea, they were the vanguard. They fought all the way without encountering any decent resistance at all. What kind of king is he? He is just a cowardless person!
Not long after, Turge and North Korean naval commander Park Zhenyu arrived and handed over their orders to Daishan.
"Haha, good job!" Daishan said to Turge with a smile, "It's a great achievement that you arrived in time!"
However, Turge was not as happy as he imagined. After hearing Daishan's words, he quickly said: "This is what the general should do. It's just...just..."
"Just what? When did you become hesitant to speak, like a girl?" Hauge couldn't help but urge him when he heard it.
Daishan immediately felt something was wrong, his smile immediately disappeared, and he asked seriously: "Why, how many warships are coming?"
While asking questions, he guessed in his mind that the North Korean navy probably had far fewer warships than imagined, right? According to previous estimates, there were at least two hundred ships, right?
"Back to your lord, the North Korean navy has a total of 303 large and small warships coming this time!" Turge heard this and immediately reported, "It's just...just..."
When Hauge heard that there were so many North Korean navy ships, more than three hundred ships, which surprised him, he said happily: "It's just a fart. This is a good thing. It's still hesitant. Don't Did you go to North Korea and get infected with stuttering? Hahaha..."
He thought he had told a funny joke, so he couldn't help but laugh first. However, only a few people laughed with him. Daishan, on the other hand, was even more worried. He glanced at Haug, making him immediately shut up and stop laughing. Then he asked Turg, "What, is there something wrong with the ship?"
He knew that Turg was so hesitant that he must have something to say and it was hard to say it directly. It should be bad news.
"No..." Turge replied quickly after hearing this.
After Daishan heard this, he immediately asked: "But there is something wrong with the person?"
The implication is that the people driving the boat are not sailors, but fishermen, right?
"No..." Turge also shook his head immediately, but when he thought about it, something seemed wrong, so he nodded again, "My lord, there is indeed something wrong..."
Seeing this, Hauge felt anxious in his heart. He opened his mouth and wanted to interrupt, but when he saw Daishan glance over, he was startled and shut up.
Although Daishan has behaved like an old man next door in recent years, harmless to humans and animals, this was the reason why he was convinced by Huang Taiji. He was not an easy person to mess with before. There is no problem in showing his original momentum and suppressing people like Hauge.
Turg did not let Daishan continue to ask questions this time, but directly stated the reason: "The whole country of Korea has collected food, and almost all they can do is pay tribute to the court. Therefore, the Navy only brought The food rations on the road have been exhausted, and now we have run out of food, so we need a large army to provide food for the navy."
In fact, the reason why the North Korean navy arrived early was not because they were afraid of the deadline set by the Manchus, but because they had to rush over quickly, otherwise there would be no food on the way and they would be doomed.
In Huang Taiji's original decree, North Korea also had to prepare food and fodder for the North Korean navy. However, now that the North Koreans have acted rogue, the navy has been sent over, and there is more than expected. However, without food and fodder, how can the North Korean Navy prepare it? Does halal matter? Then this water division is useless!
"..." After Turge finished speaking, the lobby fell silent. Even Daishan didn't expect this and didn't speak for a while.
They didn't know that Turg accepted a lot of bribes when he was in North Korea, and he paid them as if he were the king of North Korea. There are some things that he just turns a blind eye to.
It is true that the whole North Korea looted food for the purpose of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but that was only the ordinary people of North Korea who suffered. As for the powerful landlords, civil servants and military generals in North Korea, they did not use much of the food stored in their homes.
At this time, Daishan's eyes were a little unkind, and he turned to look at Park Zhenyu, the commander of the North Korean Navy who had been ignored. If North Korea does this, it can be considered a blackmail, right? It's just North Korea, but it dares to use this method against the Qing Dynasty. Isn't it too courageous? Could it be that the Qing Dynasty will definitely allocate food to this navy?
However, when he remembered Huang Taiji's intention, in the future this navy was not going to be returned to North Korea, but to become the strength of the Daqing Navy. The purpose was not only to win the current battle, but also to cross the sea to attack the Ming Dynasty. Cao boats were of great use when traveling to the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Daishan suppressed the anger rising from the bottom of his heart, and instead showed a smile on his face. He said to Park Zhenyu for the first time: "Since the navy has no food, I will allocate food to you immediately. You have worked hard all the way, and take a rest." One day, how about going to sea and crushing the Ming Navy after tomorrow?"
"I obey the prince's order, long live the Qing Dynasty!" After hearing this, Park Zhenyu was filled with surprise and hurriedly knelt on the ground, very humble and very excited at the same time.
To be honest, after playing this scoundrel, Park Zhenyu was really worried that Daishan would be angry. If the Manchus really didn't provide food, they would really starve to death unless they rebelled.
Daishan nodded kindly, then looked at the others, his face suddenly became serious again, and he said loudly: "The army also rested for a day, and it is scheduled to conquer the Ming army in Lushun the day after tomorrow, and capture and kill Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding!"
"Cha!" A loud voice immediately sounded in the lobby.
I don’t know what’s going on in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They don’t answer “hey” or “yes”, but just “cha”. Does that mean those who gave the orders are all “scum”, or do you think everyone here is “scum”? What do you mean by "scumbag"?
Next, there was nothing to do and the office was dismissed. However, Shang Kexi and Turge did not leave, and were kept by Daishan.
Daishan asked Shang Kexi with a cold face: "The Emperor's secret decree is that the North Korean Navy will be commanded by you from now on and will not be returned to North Korea. If there are any generals who seem to have problems, report them to the king. Do you understand?"
Shang Kexi already knew about this, and he was very happy. Three hundred ships were equivalent to his navy expanding more than ten times at once. It was like pie in the sky.
Therefore, he immediately knelt on the ground, showed great gratitude, and replied to Daishan: "I will never let down the emperor's kindness. This Korean navy will definitely be firmly in my hands. It is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. As long as the emperor and the prince give the order, they will go through fire and water, and the slaves will die without mercy!"
He had already thought about it. After crushing the Ming Dynasty Navy in the Battle of Port Arthur, he would replace all the captains of the Korean Navy with his men. This would be the most appropriate way to control the Korean warships. There are more than three hundred warships, and I get excited just thinking about it.
Daishan looked at him, smiled and stepped forward to help him up. At the same time, he said: "As long as you know what you know. You are the only one in the Qing Dynasty who is familiar with naval battles. Don't let down all the expectations of the emperor. Go through fire and water." Not necessarily, at least this time in the battle of Port Arthur, you must perform well. This will also allow the emperor to give an explanation to the people. After all, there are more than 300 warships and nearly 20,000 troops. This is a rare trust that the emperor has in you, do you understand? "
"This slave knows, this slave understands!" Shang Kexi said excitedly, "This battle at Port Arthur will definitely crush the Ming Navy. There is no problem with this. I have a suggestion, and please give me your permission!"
"Oh, you said?" Daishan was a little curious after hearing this, so he nodded and said.
Shang Kexi immediately showed a flattering smile and said to Dai Shan: "After the prince sends troops to Lushun, don't rush to take action. Wait for the slaves to crush the Ming Navy first, and then attack Lushun Ming Dynasty." If the army shows the size of our Great Qing Navy, then it will definitely make the Lushun Ming Army despair. In this way, the battle of Lushun will be much easier. Otherwise, the slaves can also cooperate and launch an offensive to Lushun from the sea. Just a mere Lushun can definitely be decided in a battle!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Dai Shan was still a little inexplicably worried about the strange city of Lushun. He was even more worried when he knew that the head coach of Lushun Ming Army was actually Lu Xiangsheng, who had caused Dorgon to suffer great losses. Hearing that Shang Kexi's proposal was indeed a good idea, of course he agreed. After some more encouragement, Shang Kexi went back.
In the lobby, Turg was the only one left.
At this time, Daishan's face darkened and he shouted coldly: "Turg, do you know your guilt?"
"..." Turge's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, his mind was racing, and he knelt down quickly and replied, "I am aware of my guilt, but I don't know what your lord... your lord is referring to?"
"What else could it be?" After hearing this, Daishan asked in a slightly unkind tone, "Could it be that you have really done something that is sorry for the Qing Dynasty, and there are more than one or two things?"
In fact, Turg did do a lot of things, such as instigating the Hetao Tumut tribe to enter the pass and plunder, and then fell into the trap and the entire army was annihilated; for example, in order to silence them, he even killed his tribesmen; now, for money , turning a blind eye to the North Koreans.
However, how could he dare to admit these things? He quickly defended: "No, really not..."
Daishan didn't seem to have really thought that Gushan Ezhen, the majestic Qing Dynasty with a white flag, would do so many stupid things to harm the interests of the Qing Dynasty. What he just said was just to give Turge a warning, so just listen to him He said coldly to Turg: "The emperor sent you to the Navy to supervise the army, it is because of his trust in you, the Qing Dynasty Navy, it belongs to the Qing Dynasty, not North Korea, nor Shang Kexi, do you understand?"
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Dai Shan to tell him this, so he nodded quickly and said: "The prince is right, the navy must be from the Qing Dynasty, definitely from the Qing Dynasty!"
"I don't believe it. If you really force the leader of North Korea to provide the navy with food, how dare he not provide enough food for the navy?" Daishan stood up, slowly approached Turge, and continued, "Now The Qing Dynasty is short of food, I believe you also know it. Before we can grab the food of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid we must continue to suppress North Korea. We must not just say North Korea is gone and then it will be gone. You can look at the leader of North Korea, and You can tell how much food is left by what his ministers eat."
At this point, he pointed at Turg with a bit of hatred and said: "The North Korean Navy has more than 10,000 people, and the food they consume every day is not a small amount! Suddenly, I have to allocate What will the army do if we have all this food? Fortunately, this time it was a goshawk fighting a rabbit, a bull's-eye killing a chicken, and the war can be ended quickly. Otherwise, if it takes a long time, the army will be out of food and grass, can you imagine the consequences?"
Turge broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. If that were the case, not to mention how many troops would be lost, just by mobilizing troops like this, it would be a waste of countless money and food, and this was indeed something the Qing Dynasty could not afford to waste.
Seeing that his beating Turge had an effect, Daishan softened his tone and said: "Remember from now on, before doing anything, you must have the Qing Dynasty in your heart, thinking about the interests of the Qing Dynasty first. As for the There is no need for me to talk about anything else."
"I understand, I understand." Turge quickly replied, expressing his stance firmly.
Daishan listened, nodded, and told him: "Go ahead and take good care of this navy for the Qing Dynasty. Especially after this battle, when Shang Kexi reorganizes the navy, you must pay more attention to some key positions. Use someone you trust!"
The battle in front of us was about to begin, and there would definitely be no time to reorganize the navy first;
And this battle is a crushing situation. After the battle is over, the navy must be reorganized. Shang Kexi's transfer of relevant positions in the Navy will definitely not bypass Turge's supervisor. Therefore, Daishan told Turg in advance to let him understand that things like this time when the Koreans were able to trick the Qing Dynasty would not happen again.
After Turge made another statement, Daishan also went to rest. He is almost sixty years old. If the Qing Dynasty had not allowed the Ming army to gain a foothold in Lushun, he might not have led troops to fight again.
Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty was fully prepared for this battle, whether on land or at sea. It was determined by preparation for a battle, so there was no need to put much effort into it. It should be an easy fight, and the veterans would be able to take action. With this guaranteed result, Daishan himself can sleep well every day!
However, they didn't know that the decisive battle was about to begin here. Emperor Chongzhen learned about the situation through Turge, the gold medal undercover, and rushed an imperial edict to Shanhaiguan to inform them of the situation in Jinzhou and let them add more to the Qing Dynasty. trouble.
On the third day, the Jianlu soldiers in Jinzhou swore to fight as scheduled.
