Xinshun 1730

Chapter 389 Dividing the spoils before the war

In the letter, Tian Zhenyi was probably afraid that Liu Yu would feel that she had lost her temper, so she made it very clear.

Knowing how to advance and retreat is to know when to retreat so that you can advance in the future, but not to retreat when there is nowhere to advance.The former can still do great things, while the latter is just old and wasted.

At this time, Liu Yu thought about it all day after waking up drunk, weighing the pros and cons, and deeply agreed.

Don't say that I may just be the emperor who is too deeply involved in the drama and feel that I am a Hanwu, and I can't live without Huo Qubing's self-added drama; even if he was really born by the emperor, what about his own son? ", "Brothers and brothers respectful" stories can be found everywhere.

In the eyes of the emperor, the best Huo Qubing was the one who died young at the age of 23.

If he is not dead, then he cannot be the best Huo Qubing, and it is best not to be Huo Qubing anymore.

What's more, everything I do is really to "urge the inside from the outside", but not "from the outside to the inside".

From the outside to the inside, and from the outside to the inside, after all, it is different.

From the outside to the inside, the external environment is only a catalyst, and it must be resolved internally after all.

Dashun gained a steel frame thanks to the military reform, but the diseases and viscera in the womb remained unchanged.

Liu Yu doesn't like the big quagmire of the temple, but if he really wants to do something, it's impossible to stay outside all the time.

It's just that before he thought that the best time to return to China was to win Nanyang.But I didn't expect that Tian Zhenyi meant that she didn't even want to participate in the War of the Japanese Kingdom, and went back directly.

Back home at this time, there is still a [-]% chance of going out of the town to become the commander in the Nanyang War, and the leader of the army will decide himself.In the future, the scope of turning around whether it is inside or outside will be larger.

Tian Zhenyi's thoughts, coupled with Liu Yu's absolute confidence in the naval battle of the First World War, overwhelmed his own thoughts.

It can be heard that the emperor is also very happy, because what the emperor worries about is the least worry in his heart.

Will it fail?

The emperor himself knew that this battle was not a temporary idea, but a ten-year preparation by Liu Yu, who had sucked in millions of taels of silver. How could it fail?
Knowing that he will not fail, but still pretending to be worried, Liu Yu certainly understands the emperor's implication.

"Your Majesty trusts me and entrusts me with important tasks. I used to say that what I want is to expand the territory for Your Majesty without causing disasters in the Han and Tang Dynasties. From the beginning to the end, I have always taken this as my original intention."

"The navy that I want to train is a navy that is 'a well-controlled army that cannot be easily defeated'. I have thought about it for a long time, and it is difficult to prove my words. Now it is possible to defeat the Japanese. Show it to His Majesty."

When Liu Yu talked about the leveling and military reform again, Li Gan secretly said yes, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he messed around at Jinshui Bridge.

The four words of never forgetting the original intention brought Li Gan back to his past memories again.It's not that the stubborn boy reappeared in front of his eyes, but that he returned to the ten years ago when he was still young.

"Don't forget your original intention, don't forget your original intention! Well, it's rare. If everyone in the court is like you, why should I worry?"

"If it is really possible to support war with war without costing countless money and food, don't I want to fight?"

After sighing, Li Gan did not ask Liu Yu the reason for this incident, but asked another question.

"Wouldn't it be better to have a well-controlled army and a capable general?"

Liu Yu smiled secretly, and replied: "Your Majesty, there are no controlled armies around the Heavenly Dynasty, only the Heavenly Dynasty has one. Therefore, why should we consider such issues?"

"Marching, logistics, routes, and general plans are all the responsibilities of the staff department, and it is enough to follow the rules. In ancient times, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Huo Qubing, and Li Jing used troops. Although they are famous generals in front of the battle, they are invincible in battle. It can be used as a staff department."

"As for after the battle... If there is a battle of peace, the big strategy is zero, Dunduobu has a lot of wisdom, but what's the use? The minister leads the army forward, and the army goes deep alone, and all the military taboos have been violated. So what?"

"As for the navy, the navy only needs to suppress the Japanese navy in this battle. The navy can do this with no less than a hundred men. Fifteen cruisers and nearly [-] cannons. With those closed ships, how can we win?"

"Strategists, there are staff officers for logistics and supplies along the marching route."

"Tactics, fight in the field. Your Majesty will give you fifty thousand new troops, with enough cannons and guns. Even if you fight against Bai Qi, who leads the fifty thousand Qin army, and Han Xin, who leads the fifty thousand Han army, you dare to say that you will win the field battle." .”

What he said was a little arrogant, but Li Gan laughed at it, and his heart was probably like this. It was the stage of field battles. If there were no cannons or muskets, what would Han Bai do?

Li Gan knew that Liu Yu looked arrogant at times, but he could clearly distinguish the duties of a general.

When you are a young general, you can take a big gamble to attack Rakshasa;

Thinking that he had already traveled to Japan before, and directly sailed the ship to Edo, it was like the Westerners directly sailed the ship to Tianjin, so there was no loss, so it can be seen that the Japanese navy is really not worth mentioning .

No matter what Liu Yu's purpose is, this matter is related to whether Dashun can go out of the ocean in the future, it is also related to Liu Yu's fate, and it is also related to Nanyang, which Liu Yu has always been obsessed with.

Dare to make such a request at this time, it can be seen that the confidence has reached the extreme, and the last worry in the emperor's heart has dissipated.

"What about the transportation of food?"

"Transporting grain by sea is not as good as transporting goods by sea. All the contacts are familiar. Besides, thousands of miles on the sea may not be as long as three hundred miles on the road. There will be no mistakes in this matter."

"If the Ministry of the Navy is established, there should be a logistics supply and military supply department, and you can take care of it yourself. Besides, what a businessman asks for will be profitable, and His Majesty will give it. If fame is to studying hard, military honors are to wearing armor and serving in the army. .”

Li Gan couldn't help laughing and said, "Fame and honor, aren't they still profit? I also want to understand, this scholar can't everyone seek benevolence and justice and despise life and death, why should he ask businessmen to value justice and despise profit?"

After finishing speaking, he signaled Liu Yu to get up, gave him a seat, and sighed: "I really hope to solve the big problem since the Qin and Han Dynasties."

"If the outside is more important than the inside, then there will be warlords and vassals; if the outside is more important than the inside, we may repeat the mistakes of the Song and Ming Dynasties. If these problems can be solved, don't I want to expand the territory?"

"You're right, you just proved that the new style of military drills can fight three against one, but you brought it out with your own hands after all. This time, the army used this method to conquer the Japanese. If the navy can do the same, It is truly a blessing in the world.”

"When the war against Japanese is over, the Ministry of the Navy should be established to clarify the system. You should do your best to set rules and regulations."

This is the first time that the emperor mentioned clearly and formally the establishment of the Ministry of the Navy and the naval system.

Naturally, there is a premise here, that is, the Japanese navy won a big victory.

But this premise goes without saying, if you lose, you don't even need to mention it.

After ten years of hard work and wasting millions of taels of silver, if Japan, which has been locked away for more than a hundred years, and Japan, which has no five hundred stone ships, can't beat it, what else is there to do in Nanyang?
"Do you dare to try your best?"

With this accurate statement, Liu Yu was also relieved.

The establishment of the Ministry of the Navy means that there is a whole set of bureaucrats, and there is no need to worry about the death of the government.

The navy does not have a naval department in the court, and the meaning of this is completely different.

The emperor has reformed the military in these years, and the military government still exists.If the Ministry of the Navy is established, a system is formed, and the selection system is perfected, even if an administrative navy like France is created, it will be enough to rule the roost.

Li Gan thought about it in his heart, and thought that you must also know that Xiao Qi will take over from your squad to take charge of the navy in the future, you know it well, I know it well, and Xiao Qi knows it too.

In this way, if you hand over the power and ask Xiao Qi to take charge, since it is the first battle, he will understand in his heart: as long as he wins, no matter how high the others are, they will not be as good as you, and it is even less likely to be in charge of the navy. The opinions of the staff can be won if they are implemented step by step.

If he really doesn't listen, is self-willed, insists on taking credit for himself, or even insists on the righteousness without trying to highlight himself, it can be regarded as revealing his heart in advance, and I won't use him again.

Then I thought, since you want to form a system and not be greedy for the power of the navy, some things about the navy that were difficult to handle before will be easier to handle now.

In the future, people from the Jinghai Palace will naturally control the military, but after the establishment of the Jinghai Palace, people from the Jinghai Palace can also serve as civil servants.

It is right to control the military with the civil. Civil servants do not depend on whether they are proficient in military strategy or even tactical skills, but on their official jurisdiction and responsibility.

However, those who are in charge of the army at the front and command a fleet still need to be able to fight and have talents.

In the navy at this time, those who are skilled in water warfare and capable are all brought out by Liu Yu.

This time, if the command is really smooth and there is no stagnation, it can be seen that they also know that the court is the first, and some things will be easier to handle.

"My love, when the Ministry of the Navy is completed and the rules are set, I think the navy will be divided slightly."

"One is permanently stationed in Weihai and Lushun, and the key locks the capital."

"One part should be stationed in Songjiang, cruising Japan and Ryukyu."

"One should be stationed in Fujian and Guangdong to eliminate pirates and monitor Nanyang."

"If there is a war, send someone to lead it; if there is no war, then cruise the sea. What do you think?"

Liu Yu thought to himself, this should be the case, but he has been in charge of the navy before, so it is difficult for him to mention such military expansion.

And in this way, the Navy will be abolished again, and the insiders will inevitably be responsible.

"I think that's the way it is."

"Well, as the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives when you are a virtuous person. I also know that the first few people who became captains were all closely related to you. The teacher claims to be a disciple. But I know that you are only used for talents, and when the time comes, I will personally select these candidates."

This matter is official business, which should have been done, but Liu Yu has been holding onto the navy with one hand and has not done it.

The emperor also knew that Liu Yu could only feel that it should be so. This is not a sweet date, and said: "Although you can escape the rough sea, you can't escape the verbal negotiation with the Japanese. Foreign negotiations are managed by Qi State. For the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it’s inappropriate for him to talk about it; for the people of the government, it’s okay to talk about etiquette and tribute, but when it comes to benefits, they can throw away everything you have been striving for for ten years without knowing it.”

"After the war with the Japanese, if you can get compensation, 80 taels will go to the household government treasury, 40 taels will go to the internal funds to reward soldiers and meritorious service, and one million taels will be used to set up practical schools. How much can you ask for the rest? I'm going to join the navy."
