Xinshun 1730

Chapter 226

A capable emperor can change the non-established organization into a controllable system to avoid future troubles.

Now it seems that Li Gan is full of confidence.

After deciding on the reform of the army and bypassing the issue of institutional redistribution of power, it went back to the navy.

"As for the idea of ​​the Ministry of the Navy... it's better to develop the navy first, and let's talk about it after it has achieved results."

"The only one who understands the navy and Western affairs in the court is Ying Sabo. Since the matter of the Admiralty will be discussed later, it must be unknown. Just right, there is one more thing."

Liu Yu is in a hurry to ask for money now. The Admiralty is of course very important, but it is not the top priority.

According to the emperor's intention, the money should be given first, and he should be supervised, so the affairs of the Admiralty will be stabilized.

Obviously, after the navy is built in the future, the candidates for the Ministry of the Navy must be replaced by others.If there is no Ministry of the Navy in the future, Liu Yu cannot be allowed to supervise this matter alone.

Liu Yu already knew a lot about this kind of tricks in the court.

The emperor didn't talk about the Ministry of the Navy, Liu Yu knew that he must give himself the title of "Jiedu Whale Sea".

Otherwise, it would really be the internal prison of the previous dynasty, which is really out of place.

"Since the battle with Luocha a few years ago, the land has been expanded for three thousand miles, all of which are sparsely populated and desolate. Since Luocha joined the dynasty, a few talents who are good at sailing have also found a sea route from Weihai to Vladivostok. It’s smooth too.”

"The newly opened land just needs someone to guard and inspect it. In this case, Ying Suobo can temporarily lead the establishment of the navy and save the sea of ​​​​whales. What do you think about this?"

When the emperor said that, it was clear that he was both a player and a referee.

The so-called Sea of ​​Whales refers to the ocean to the east of Korea. It was called the Sea of ​​Japan in later generations, but it was called the Sea of ​​Whales at this time.In fact, it can be counted from North Korea to the Arctic Ocean.

The scope of the Jiedu Whale Sea is really huge, let alone a million square kilometers.But it's hard to say whether the millions of square kilometers can catch up with a Wendeng state if the local aborigines are counted.

The Zhechong Mansion on the Songhua River is definitely not under Liu Yu's jurisdiction.

The scope of Liu Yu's management is from the north of Vladivostok, the east of the Ussuri River, and the coast of Heilongjiang, Jingqili River and other places.

This place is really sparsely populated, and there is no oil or water.

In the past, when they went to Handuoli Acropolis, many people would cry and think they were exiled.Ask the ministers of the DPRK and China where Vladivostok is, and few care.

They can't collect a dime of tax, and there is nothing to squeeze out. They don't know the handicrafts of Liu Yu and Jiaolao Butu's trick of exchanging furs for silver. No one wants to go to that kind of ghost place.

Many people in the court planned to throw Liu Yu to the Western Regions.

Because there are many smart people in the court, they know that there will be continuous rebellion in the Western Regions, and something will definitely happen.As long as something happens, it's easy to criticize: Why did those people rebel?Isn't there a problem with the guards?
Even if it is not, the Western Regions are far away from the imperial court. After a long time, there may be a gap between the monarch and his ministers. Trust is not an eternal thing.

In addition, Liu Yu himself can fight and train soldiers. If he is really placed in the Western Regions, even if he was trusted at the time, problems will arise over time.

Now the emperor doesn't let Liu Yu guard the Western Regions, but instead lets Liu Yu go to Jiedu Jinghai, which is a bit painful.

Although this dilapidated place is worthless, there is no oil and water...

But he is a genuine Jiedushi, a big official of the imperial court, these are all qualifications.

Liu Yu has been knighted, and in terms of rank, Jiedu is fine.

But he is too young, so he is definitely not allowed to be in a good place, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble due to his lack of experience, after all, he is not calm enough.

There have been a few troubles in the capital before, and I just said a lot of distrust of gentry and Confucian scholars, so he must not be allowed to introspect everywhere.

However, the emperor bypassed the internal provinces and directly threw Liu Yu to the bitter cold place. This was a trick that was difficult to crack.

This place is not the Western Region, the population is too small, and Luosha has also completed the border survey on the eastern front, so there is no possibility of rebellion or war at all, and there is nowhere to go to engage Liu Yu.

If you object, there must be someone guarding such a large place.

The land that has been conquered has been for several years, and there is not even a minister guarding it. What is going on?

If you object to letting Liu Yu go, then you have to provide a candidate.

Whoever is allowed to go to this broken place will be offended.

Those who can be promoted to one provincial level must have at least three ranks, especially for civil servants who came from the imperial examination, they will be forty or fifty at this point.

Whoever is recommended to go is to push that person into the pit of fire, and that person will be scolded.After all, going to Handuo Liwei will cry and think it is exile, let alone the bitter cold place farther north and east?

Originally, staying in the capital or visiting the inland provinces had a future.Arranged in that kind of place, it is obviously crowding out, especially if you don't open your eyes and oppose the candidates pre-selected by the emperor, you may have to work until you die.

No objection, then Liu Yu is young and has already conquered the whole place.There will be qualifications in the future.

Although this place is bitterly cold, it is on the same level as the Jiedushi of the inland provinces.And at a young age, I can afford it completely. Even if I survive for ten years, it will only be 34-[-], which is just the right age.

Let such a mad dog have the same rank and qualifications as a provincial Jiedu at a young age. If the emperor really believes in him in the future, let him enter the court and preside over reforms, would it be good?
Simply supervising the navy is only a military position.The longer you stay in the military, the less likely you are to take up another post.

At this time, it is best for someone to stand up, self-sacrifice, self-recommendation, volunteer for the benefit of the whole group, and sacrifice the small self to fulfill the big self.

But at this time, everyone hopes that someone will stand up, but no one wants to stand up and go to that kind of place by themselves.

Is there any credit for that kind of place?No credit whatsoever.

But Liu Yu was different, the emperor asked Liu Yu to train the navy in the name of Jiedu Jinghai.

The credit goes to the training of the navy, not to Jiedu Whale Sea.

If someone else went there, it would be a place of exile and death.Letting Liu Yu go means that the emperor is paving the way for Liu Yu's future.

No one could untie the button, so they could only say: "Your Majesty's wisdom eyes, it is just right for Ying Suobo to guard the sea of ​​whales."

"For one thing, he went to dig the inscriptions of Yongning Temple that day, and he learned about the customs along the way, and he was also familiar with the hydrology and geography."

"Secondly, when the stele was erected that day, he made an alliance with the local aborigines to defend the frontier together, and all the local ministries also obeyed him."

There are two reasons, even if you object, there is no way to object, it is better to gain the reputation of a well-known person.

The emperor saw someone open his eyes so much, and said with a smile: "I think so too. The inscription on the Yongning Temple, Ying Suobo has traveled thousands of miles, and he is familiar with it along the way. He also participated in the demarcation of the Rakshasa, and he also knows some things about the Rakshasa. It’s easier to communicate with him because he doesn’t know the language. In addition, the local tribes have blood with him. I really can’t find a more suitable person.”

"It's bitter cold here, so young people should be allowed to go."

"However, Jinghai is newly restored and the population is sparse, so it is natural to immigrate to Shibian. Yingsuobo is not only controlling the land, but also in charge of immigration affairs. Wendeng can be temporarily brought under the control of Jinghai. Yingsuobo can stay in Wendeng, It’s also good for coordinating the revitalization of the navy, immigration and other matters.”

Jiedushi is in charge of civil affairs, and Liu Yu is not concurrently guarding the general power.The navy is not a garrison. It is regarded as newly established by the emperor, not military power.

Liu Yu thought about what his father said, "If an army is stationed in Weihai, the navy will always belong to His Majesty", and knew that the emperor would definitely set up another guard in this "Whale Sea Province", which is not shit. Positive total power.

This Zheng Zongquan is definitely not him, and he will not be an acquaintance of the Qingzhou Army. It happens that there are ready-made barracks, ready-made granaries, and a good foundation for shipping grain and rice.

Wendeng Prefecture has been carrying out reforms in the past few years, and Liu Yu's hand has been extended a lot. The emperor also wants to make a demonstration area, and it is justifiable for Liu Yu to intervene in Wendeng area.

Once the results are achieved, Bai Yunhang will definitely be transferred away, and other people will be arranged to be state shepherds in Wendeng.

Liu Yu guessed that there is another problem, that is, he has to do practical things.If Wen Deng is not under his rule, he will definitely fail to establish a real school, and he will have to go to Jiaoliao Jiedu to make a fuss.

Coupled with the fact that the military factories and shipyards are all in Weihai, it is even more justifiable.

Liu Yu thanked you, and got up and asked: "Your Majesty, since I have been in the sea of ​​whales, I have to ask clearly about some things. There is always a limit to everything. If you go beyond the limit, it will be difficult to say in the future."

"On the coast of Jinghai, in addition to the land of the current dynasty, there is also the suzerain and vassal Korea. The Korean army is weak and has never been able to defend the land. I am afraid that there will be an incident in the Wanli period of the previous dynasty in the future. Therefore, can I send people to survey the coast of North Korea to find out In case something happens to North Korea in the future, is it better to be prepared?"

"Although North Korea has a map, its methods are low-level, and the drawing is often inaccurate. If something happens in the future, it must be prepared."

"Furthermore, Jinghai is adjacent to North Korea, and there are many refugees in North Korea. How should we deal with this? Is it strictly forbidden to cross the border? Or will they be recruited and cultivated on the spot?"

"Finally, if you want to immigrate to Jinghai, you must pass through North Korea. If you encounter wind and waves along the way, you can stop at North Korea. Even if you don't ask for grain and rice as a country, you need His Majesty's permission to buy it."

"Another one, there are always stops along the way. It is the old minister's hope that if Portugal and Macau are involved, he will lease a piece of land in North Korea. Annuities will be paid to store food and stop."

"North Korea, compared to the prince, the minister is only an earl, and he really can't make the decision. Therefore, His Majesty needs to make a general plan."

What he said was impeccable. After all, he had always been a vassal. The title on the head of the King of Joseon was much higher than that of Liu Yu, at the level of a prince.

It is said that it is the land of the king, but the suzerain and vassal are not introspective after all, and many things have to be dealt with, and they have to go to the government.

Diplomacy is not diplomacy, and internal affairs are not internal affairs, which is the most troublesome.

Liu Yu hoped that the emperor would give him an authorization, and it would be best for the imperial court to go to North Korea and lease two pieces of land.

Originally, there was no Jinghai Province, and it didn't have much relationship with North Korea.Now that there is Jinghae Province, the North Korean issue becomes very important.

If you want to fight Japan in the future, you must also stockpile food in North Korea in advance.All of this needs to be prepared in advance, but it is not something that Liu Yu can handle.

If the imperial court does not come forward, it is hoped that the emperor will authorize him to "intervene" in North Korean affairs within a certain range.

"Well... what Qing said is very true. There is a risk of wind and waves when crossing the sea, but the emigration by land is too far away. This matter really needs to be discussed."

"North Korea has a lot of fugitives. This can also be recruited for land reclamation, needless to say. A map of the coast of North Korea should also be drawn, so that there is no danger."

"As for the leased land in North Korea...the word is not used properly. The Portuguese are in Macau, it is the Chinese pity for their maritime merchants who are in danger; it is not appropriate for the Chinese to go to the leased land in North Korea. You can come forward to ask for land and reward some. If so If there are fewer rewards, it will hurt the face of the Celestial Dynasty..."

It is said that it has damaged the face of the Celestial Dynasty, but it is actually worried that the North Korean side is very reluctant and dissatisfied.Give more money and keep your mouth shut. Anyway, the previous plan was to allow North Korea to use money from the Celestial Dynasty. There are two ports that officially opened the door to North Korea and deepened control.

It is definitely inappropriate for Liu Yu to go, so the emperor said: "How about this, you not only control the sea of ​​whales, but also know well about maritime affairs. How much land is needed and where is it needed, you write a charter. I can give you a special order , allow you to cruise North Korea and choose a good place. In a few days, let the Li government go and discuss this matter."
