The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 466
How could the empress in the deep palace know the origin of the Ming Dynasty fierce oil, of course Caier told her, and told her that it would bring benefits to the local area, so the empress was happy to offer advice to the king.

It's not a lie that Chongzhen loves the people, he just really doesn't understand people's livelihood, seeing that the queen is thinking about making people more livelihoods, Long Yan is very happy.

He praised: "The queen really deserves to be my virtuous helper! Fire oil is not only a sharp weapon for defending the city, but it is so useful that the state government must vigorously produce it."

The enthusiastic Chongzhen also personally struck a match and learned how to light a fierce oil lamp before going to bed. The Huang family would earn a lot of money from dignitaries by operating matches and fierce oil lamps in this way.

In the early morning of the next day, the court officials were harassed by urgent memorials from all over Guangdong, and the cabinet ministers were dizzy. The standing civil and military minister found that Huang Sheng, the cabinet minister, still hadn't come to the early court.

"My dear friends, do you have any clues about the candidate for the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi?"

There was no one to answer, Zhou Yanru had no choice but to go out and say: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is currently selecting candidates who can take on this important task, and we need to think long-term."

Chongzhen said angrily: "A long-term plan? That fellow Guo Huaiyi spends every day destroying counties, seizing populations, and killing officials, do you still want to take a long-term plan?"

There was another moment of silence, Wang Zhichen seemed to have made up his mind, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, I recommend Qu Cai, the Marquis of Nan'an Huang Sheng, as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. With his literary and martial arts, he should be able to destroy Guo Huai and other pirates."

Gaodi also went out to play and said: "Master Huang must have such abilities, but unfortunately Guo Huaiyi is a pirate, even if he can control the mainland of Guangdong, if he wants to regain the trustworthy Hainan Island without a strong navy, Master Huang will be hard-pressed to cook without rice!"

Wen Tiren suddenly thought of something and went out to play: "Your Majesty, after thinking about it, I am afraid that only Mr. Huang can sit in Guangdong and Guangxi, because he has prerequisites that no minister can match."

Seeing that his thoughts coincided with those of several ministers, Chongzhen felt much more at ease, and hurriedly asked: "What did Wen Aiqing say? Tell me carefully!"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the North Korean navy that dispatched warships and cargo ships to assist Master Huang in Liaodong? If Master Huang goes to the South China Sea this time, if he asks Mr. Xinhai for help again, he will surely be able to succeed."

With the clues, the cabinet ministers talked about each other, and finally reached a consensus that the Marquis of Nan'an will be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the governor of Fujian.

Gao Di, who was in a safe position, played again: "Your Majesty, although the cabinet has discussed and His Majesty has approved, Mr. Huang Sheng will be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but Mr. Huang's physical condition is still required. We must also listen to him for any good strategies to defeat the enemy!"

The emperor took it for granted, and said: "That's true, come on! See you, the Marquis of Xuannan'an."

The megaphone delivered the emperor's oral instructions one by one. Huang Sheng, who was teaching and educating people at home, was disturbed by the middle officials galloping over, so he had to come to see the emperor and his officials immediately.

Hearing the cause and effect of summoning him, Huang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, a soldier is an important weapon of the country, and a general should be on thin ice. I am not qualified to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so I can't mislead the country and the people. Please resign."

As soon as this remark came out, the princes of Dagon and Dagon turned pale with fright, and even Mr. Huang, who is honored as the God of War among the people, was afraid that Guo Huaiyi would not go to Guangdong to fight. What should we do?

The Son of Heaven finally came to a decision, but seeing Huang Sheng's refusal, he lost his sense of propriety and said, "Huang Aiqing, when the state employs people, why are you pushing back and forth? Don't tell me you're also afraid of Guo Huaiyi."

"I have never been afraid of any enemy, but I have never underestimated any opponent and made progress blindly. Guo Huaiyi is famous for his naval battles. He used naval ships to harass the coast of Guangzhou. How many warships can you organize? Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Huang Sheng's words made Chongzhen's chest tight. He asked Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, "Can the Ministry of War tell Master Huang how many warships he can gather and what is his combat power?"

After asking, Chongzhen looked eagerly at his Minister of the Ministry of War, and also looked forward to Liang Tingdong's next words.

It's bitter, Liang Tingdong has spent this time studying the hole cards of Daming's existing warships, knowing that there are no decent warships on the books, he dared not talk nonsense, and said truthfully:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, some warships from Zhejiang, Caojiang Admiral, and Fujian can now be dispatched to battle. The total number should be [-], but there are not many warships with more than [-] materials. Most of them are straw boats with [-] materials. There are not many cannons, mainly bowl-mouthed guns, and there are about fifty cannons with four catties."

Although most people don't understand military affairs, they still have common sense. Everyone gasped when they heard this, no wonder no one dared to go to sea battles. It turned out that Ming did not have this combat capability at all.

Huang Sheng said loudly: "I am not afraid of death, but I want to die well. In such a trifling battle, my death is harmless, but the soldiers are so innocent, so I cannot go to Guangdong and Guangxi to serve."

When the emperor heard Liang Tingdong report back to the Navy's family, he was frustrated for a while and was speechless.

At this moment, Gaodi, who was mature and refined, shouted angrily: "The emperor entrusts state affairs to each other. As a minister, he should try his best to complete the mission. He should rack his brains and come up with suggestions instead of pushing them away. Are you really helpless, Mr. Huang? The old man thinks otherwise, you should have at least three top, middle and bottom strategies that can be judged by the Holy Son of Heaven."

I really have a tacit understanding. Gaodi's family has a large number of sea-going ships participating in the freight business of "Huaxia Shipping". How could he not know Huang Sheng's strength at sea? Bing, immediately jumped out and sang the oboe with righteous words.

Hearing what Gaodi said, Chongzhen was very satisfied with Gao Ge's questioning of Huang Sheng face to face, and he felt that there was a bright future, and said: "Huang Aiqing has a good plan in mind, so tell me quickly."

"Your Majesty, this time there is no three-way strategy at all, only two multiple-choice questions."

The top leader loves multiple-choice questions. Seeing that Huang Sheng has been a cabinet minister for several months without saying a word, and when he encounters difficult decisions, he has information and can choose from. He regained his spirit and asked again: "Oh? How to choose?" ? Ai Qing, tell me quickly!"

"It is not advisable to go to the South China Sea with the warships that the imperial court can dispatch. If there is no absolute strength in naval battles, it is very possible that not a single ship can return. Not only that, more than half of the warships will be captured by the enemy. Therefore, the enemy On the contrary, it will become stronger and stronger, and it cannot be fought like this anyway.”

Huang Sheng paused, seeing that the emperor and ministers were all attracted to listen, and continued: "So the first choice question is to temporarily rely on the army to hold on to the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian, and the food in Hainan Island is not enough for the pirates to spend. Doing so Pi is to make it difficult for pirates to resupply."

"It makes sense, Huang Aiqing will continue to talk about it." Chongzhen listened and expressed his approval, said.

"I can command a small number of warships into the Pearl River to hide, and use them to transport troops to encircle and wipe out the pirates who dare to land, so that the pirates will never dare to land and harass again. However, it may take three to five years or even seven or eight years to retake Hainan. We can see."

Huang Sheng speaks strategically, implying that such a deployment can ensure Guangdong and Fujian. As for Hainan Xindi, it is impossible to regain it, which is equivalent to giving up.

However, speaking in such a roundabout way, with a high-sounding sound, and putting on a posture of refusing to abandon the ground and working hard all the time, the result was completely different. Sure enough, the emperor and his officials deeply agreed, and they didn't lose face.

In Daming, no matter whether the emperor or his ministers dared to abandon their promises lightly, Daming spent most of its national power in Ningyuan and Jinzhou in Liaodong for this reason, and finally its finances were dragged down alive.
