Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

The clarification of the battle situation in Liaodong, as the Military Aircraft Office clearly issued an order to convey the corresponding battle situation, including the achievements of the volunteers in Liaodong, had a considerable impact and shock on the Ming Dynasty Hall and the Gyeonggi area.

Perhaps it was because of too many defeats in the past, and the sudden victory in the overall battle made many people not expect it.

Emperor Chongzhen did not take these influences and shocks to heart, and the corresponding public opinion and guidance were promoted under his instructions.

If you want to defeat the Jianlu Eight Banners and suppress the Jianlu rebellion, you must first overcome the ideological "defeat" and get rid of the trend of talking about slavery.

If this cannot be changed at all, then no matter how much Emperor Chongzhen does, once any turmoil in Liaodong spreads to Gyeonggi, it will affect the stability of the court.

This is what Emperor Chongzhen did not want to see.

Military Department.

"The changes in the overall situation in the Liao region can be considered stable in terms of the current situation."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Qia and Wang Zaijin with a serious expression, "Although there is no corresponding military report from the Dongjiang Army, I predict that the situation in Liao will not change in the short term."

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong and his party all nodded their heads in agreement. Even if the Jianlu suffered such losses in this battle, even if they wanted to gather a large army to attack again, it would be powerless.

As soon as the gun is fired, ten thousand taels of gold.

In the wars that happened in the Liao region in the past, the Ming Dynasty paid a lot of food and salaries. For the same reason, the food and salaries paid by the Jianlu side would probably not be less.

"I came to the Military Aircraft Department this time to discuss the establishment of an additional naval division."

Seeing everyone's reactions, Emperor Chongzhen said, "The military aircraft department must have made it clear about the analysis of the overall battle situation in Liaodong this time, right?

Whether it is the battle in the west of Liaoning, the battle in the south of Liaoning, or the battle launched by the Dongjiang Army, the effectiveness of the navy is very remarkable.

Like Sun Chengzong's army before the Liao Dynasty, taking advantage of the turmoil in southern Liaoning, they launched sea and land coordinated operations to launch an offensive against the land in western Liaoning stolen by Jianlu.

When the Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng was active under the rule of southern Liaoning, the Dongjiang Army led by Liu Xingzuo took advantage of the situation to harass southern Liaoning.

In the past, the DPRK was too conservative and too passive in the construction of the navy, so that many times there were opportunities to make progress, but in the end they missed the opportunity in vain. "

The office fell into silence.

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong and others, you look at me, I look at you, and they all fell into deep thought when they spoke to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and was not in a hurry to urge him. He was determined to get the replenishment of the navy's strength.

In particular, Tianjin continued to open the sea, and the ports of Liaodong made it clear that in order to prevent possible maritime threats in the future, it is necessary to establish an organized naval force in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

The development of Ming's sea power was extremely costly. It was not enough to rely solely on the supply of domestic money. Emperor Chongzhen had to win a corresponding share from the treasury.

At present, the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty has initially eased, and it is the Emperor Chongzhen's job to invest the precious silver in the treasury into areas that can see returns.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be dealt with."

Wang Zaijin pondered for a moment, then stepped forward to bow and said, "As your Majesty said, in the past battle in Liaodi, the navy's effectiveness was obvious.

If the naval forces stationed on Juehua Island can be strengthened, and the corresponding naval system in Tianjin and Denglai can be restored, once there is a storm in Liao, the country can dispatch corresponding troops to assist Liao through multiple naval forces to transport Corresponding grain, firecrackers, artillery, ordnance, etc. "

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, and Yang Sichang all bowed to each other and agreed.

As the ministers chosen by Emperor Chongzhen, although most of them came from the old bureaucratic group, their views on the military level were far more thorough than other civil officials.

Before the members of the imperial party selected by Emperor Chongzhen formed a large scale in the dynasty, Wang Qia and Wang Zaijin were needed to shoulder the heavy burden of the military aircraft department and promote the steady implementation of the planned plan.

What Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and the others could see to increase naval power was limited to the many schemes in the Liao region. They did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen's increase of naval power also had the level of preventing maritime threats.

After all, with the expansion of the opening of the sea and the expansion of trade, no one can be sure whether the forces of the European countries who sailed northward will have a heart of coveting after experiencing the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen never let down his vigilance against these wolves in gentleman's clothing, otherwise he would not have asked Zheng Zhilong to serve as the commander-in-chief of Liuqiu Town to prepare for the establishment of the Han League. However, Daming's opening up of seas and commerce cannot simply rely on a certain group of people.

"Your Majesty, I am a little worried."

Wang Qia stepped forward to bow and said: "Adding naval forces will inevitably consume a lot of food and pay. As far as the current state of the country is concerned, although the national treasury has been relieved a lot.

But if you want to facilitate this matter, I am afraid that the cabinet, the Ministry of household affairs, the Ministry of war, etc. have administrative offices, and they will object to this. If you say..."

"Then the Military Aircraft Department can't justify it?"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "The Military Aircraft Department is in charge of suppressing the rebellion. It is true that the current state is recovering western Liaoning, but have the other territories been recovered?

Has the Jianlu rebellion been suppressed?

So many things have not been resolved. From the perspective of countering the rebellion, the Military Aircraft Department made corresponding plans in advance to suppress the rebellion and regain lost ground. What reason did they refuse?

Don't they want to look at Guochao, suppress the Jianlu rebellion, and regain the lost land in Liaodong? "

Wang Qia was silent.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yang Sichang stepped forward and bowed: "According to what Wang Shufu said, it is very necessary to add naval forces stationed on Juehua Island and to add naval forces in Tianjin, Denglai and other places.

After all, Guochao regained the old land in western Liaoning, but the rampant construction of the Eight Banners will definitely not let it go, so it must be planned in advance. "

This Yang Sichang can speak.

It seems that releasing Yang He and never hiring him was the right thing to do.

Emperor Chongzhen raised his mouth slightly, looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Since that's the case, let Yang Qing handle the matter of adding naval forces.

I have decided to set up an additional Liaoxi Navy to garrison Juehua Island, with Zheng Zhifeng as the deputy commander in chief.

The Jinzhou Navy was added to garrison Lushunkou, led by Li Mingzhong, the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou.

The Tianjin Navy was added and stationed in Tianjin, led by General Lu Xiangjin of Tianjin.

The Denglai Navy was added to garrison Penglai, with Shen Zhixiang as the deputy commander-in-chief.

The Dongjiang navy was added to garrison Pidao, with Zuo Liangyu as the deputy commander-in-chief.

This matter should be formed into a charter as soon as possible and submitted to the imperial court for discussion. If there are ministers in the court who question this matter, then the Qing family will discuss it one by one. "

"The minister obeys the order."

Yang Sichang bowed immediately.

To develop the Ming Dynasty's sea power, one must plan it gradually, step by step, first control the offshore area, and gradually expand the sea ships under the jurisdiction of each organizational system.

During this period, they continued to cultivate naval talents, gradually expanded the shipbuilding industry, and led the transformation of shipbuilding technology. When the Ming Dynasty had the power to go far, that would be the birth of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

First use the concept of a regional navy to make up for the historical accounts that Daming owed before, and work hard to build the foundation. This is far more practical than making some gimmicks.
