Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1505 Five before enthronement

"This is indeed a problem!" Hearing this, Mu Jing's face sank slightly, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Gu has actually considered these problems before, and Gu's mind is that the soldiers and horses on the sea Just stay at sea, we are at sea, this force is actually small, so we still have to form a third navy to fight in the inland river!"

Now under the command of the Ming army, there are only two naval forces in total, the first is the Jingping Navy, and the second is the Violent Bear Navy, both of which have strong combat effectiveness.

Especially in the Jingping Navy, Gan Ning has been trained. This general who has absolute talent in the water has exploded his potential at sea.

Ever since the Jingping navy crossed Jiaozhou and marched into the sea, they fought more and more bravely, crossing the sea, and once crossed the South China Sea and entered the Nanyang Ocean.

This time the navy was able to raid Jianye Capital, thanks to Jingping's navy. If it hadn't been for entering from the East China Sea and making a surprise attack, the Ming army might not have been able to reach Jianye City with the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong navy.

However, the combat power of the Violent Bear Navy is not low. Zhuge Liang, the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms, has unparalleled talent in combat.

Moreover, when the Violent Bear Navy withdrew, it had already entered the sea, and gradually adapted to the combat style at sea, and it seemed inappropriate to return to the inland river.

There is another very important point.

That is, Mujing is afraid that no one can be more ambitious about the sea than anyone else.

In this part of the Central Plains, no matter how you fight, it is nothing more than internal fighting. In the struggle between the descendants of Yan and Huang, winning or losing does not make much sense, but looking at the world is ambition.

The era of great voyages was started by the Westerners, which is why the disaster for the Chinese nation was created. The closed development of the Ming and Qing Dynasties also missed the development on the sea.

Mujing from the future, a history of humiliation that people who have lived through this era dare not think about.

The Mongols went south and occupied the Central Plains, and the blood flowed into rivers.

When the Qing soldiers went south, they also killed a lot of people.

These are disgraces.

But there is no way to knock on the door of the country with the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the humiliation, the Japanese aggression, and the eight-year war of resistance are unimaginable in this era.

And what created this situation is the descendants of Yan and Huang who watched the sky from sitting in a well.

Mujing has always flattered one principle, that is, stand tall and see far. If you only look at the small area of ​​the Central Plains, there is no future. What can we do if we can achieve peace for ten or twenty years, even if it lasts for 20 years? The Han Dynasty, isn't it just saying that if it didn't exist, it wouldn't exist.

Mujing hopes even more that he can go out, out of the Central Plains, out of this sea, so that the descendants of Yan and Huang can start the era of great voyages and start global conquests.

Even if it is still a war, at least one point is that the descendants of Yan and Huang will not be beaten.

That's enough.

So he has always been thinking about expanding the sea troops. Qiongya has become the Ming army's sea fortress and the Jingping Navy's shipbuilding base.

With this base, and the Jiaozhou area controlled by the Ming Dynasty, materials can be transported continuously, roads can be opened, and maritime trade can be directly opened.

This time is an opportunity.

But he was immature before, so he didn't tell anyone, but now he thinks that he can try to focus on the sea.

It was Mu Jing who had an idea for the formation of the third navy, but he has not said it, but it is not too late to form it now.

In order to prevent the inland river, Zhaoming Pavilion had already begun to form a combat force.

Yudu, Jiangling, several large dock workshops, and the warships manufactured are currently under pressure at Chibikou, and they can enter Xiazhou to fight at any time.

This is why the Jiangdong navy dare not enter the country rashly.

"The third navy?"

Xi Zhi thought about it, but felt that there was nothing wrong with Mujing's doing so. Maybe they didn't pay attention to the power of the sea before, but the impact of the raid on Jianye this time made him also focus on the sea.

Storms at sea are like storms, which are actually more dangerous, but if you can build a larger warship, there is a chance.

"Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang, I plan to stay at sea!"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said, "Let Zhang Yun come back and form a third fleet!"

"Where's Cai Mao?"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes.

"This person can't be placed in the land of Jingxiang. His influence is quite powerful. Including Huang Zu, they all have very familiar experience in water warfare!"

Mu Jing is quite optimistic about these two generals.

But their foundation in the land of Jingxiang is too strong. In the land of Jingxiang, there are countless aristocratic families, and it is hard for the New Deal to suppress them.

Once Cai Mao and Huang Zu come back and they have a backbone, they may easily counterattack, which will cause restlessness in the New Deal.

"Pity!"

Xi Zhicai, but analyzing from the battlefield, he thinks that Cai Mao and Huang Zu are the most suitable for inland river warfare, and Zhang Yun's experience is not as good as the two.

"We have to consider all aspects!" Mu Jing smiled wryly: "We don't want to either, but we can't help it!"

They Ming country, there are too many things to consider.

They have available people.

But you also have to consider how to use it.

The Ming Dynasty was not without talents. The land of Xichuan and the land of Jingxiang were full of talents. In addition, Guanzhong and Xiliang were not without talents.

However, talents must also be used well, and various issues must be considered.

"Now our New Deal, many people who have been oppressed are out of breath. At this time, if we relax, it will easily cause them to directly retaliate!"

Mu Jing said: "For this matter, Xu Shu can't stay in Jingxiang any longer!"

"why?"

Xi Zhicai was a little puzzled.

Xu Shu is definitely a talent for the New Deal. If he can stay in Jingxiang, the New Deal of the prefectures in Jingxiang will be more influential and the system of the New Deal will be consolidated.

"Always give them a chance to breathe. If you really force it, it will still cause some bad effects. The new policy is good for many people, but it will also hurt the interests of many people!"

Mujing sighed and said, "This is something that I can't control. No system, no policy, no decision can satisfy everyone!"

He smiled, but he didn't lose his confidence. Instead, he became more confident, and continued: "What I have to do is to satisfy most people!"

The New Deal of the Ming Dynasty was a system that Mu Jing had conceived for a long time. It was the system of the Han Dynasty that he laid the foundation for the future, and even directly overturned it. It spanned thousands of years and came to the system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This is just the first step.

There will be a second step, a third step, a fourth step...

In fact, Mu Jing is not in a hurry.

Because he is young, youth means that he still has a lot of time to spend slowly with those people, but he will still do what should be done resolutely, at most it will only be a little more relaxed.

For example, this time, letting Xu Shu leave Jingxiang and go north to Henan is considered a relief for him.

"Then where is Xu Shu going?"

Xi Zhicai is not just a military adviser, he is the minister of the Zhaoming Pavilion who participates in politics, joins the cabinet, and assists in the management of major affairs in the world, but he has the right to manage all Ming affairs.

"Go to Henan!"

Mu Jing said: "We have eaten Henan, so we must stick to it. The military is one aspect, and the other aspect is the people's livelihood. Only by winning the people's opinion can we win the world. We must restore Henan as soon as possible. Now Zhaoming Pavilion has decided to transform Henan For Luozhou, Xu Shu is the governor of Luozhou, and will dispatch some new officials later!"

"You will agree with Zhaoming Pavilion's resolution, I'm afraid it's more than that!"

"Of course!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "Jingxiang still has a stronger foundation. Although our new policy has achieved some results, some Jingxiang wealthy families that have gradually recovered have begun to put pressure on us. I can bear the pressure from above, but Xu Shu It may not be able to suppress them, they can't do things, but it's okay to make trouble!"

"And Henan, the land of hundreds of battles, has been smashed from the beginning, so we still have a chance!"

Mu Jing sneered: "Back when Dong Zhuo hijacked the people to go south, he had already wiped out the foundation of Henan. At this time, Xu Shu's departure will actually make the New Deal more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"

"indeed so!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, but he also hesitated: "However, Henan is still a place of contention, and war will definitely break out. If Xu Shu can't control it, he will still be unable to manage people's livelihood!"

"I only believe in Xu Yuanzhi!"

Mu Jing said: "Xu Yuanzhi is persistent. He has a chance. Besides, we will have heavy troops in Guanzhong. He will be good at using power. As long as he doesn't force himself, it won't be a big problem!"

"That's good!"

Xi Zhicai nodded his head. As for Xu Shu, he was naturally inferior to Mu Jing. Since Mu Jing decided that Xu Shu could take on the important task, he believed in Mu Jing, so he also believed in Xu Shu.

Back to the topic: "The third navy, what kind of bugle are you going to use!"

"We don't want to use Qiu Xin's bugle, so we decided to use Zhaoming!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said, "Zhaoming Navy!"

The Ming army strictly controlled the military numbers and designations. Under the Ming army, there were three main armies, Jingping, Zhaoming, and Violent Bear.

Both the Jingping Navy and the Violent Bear Navy are considered elite, and it is only natural for Zhaoming to form a third navy to fight.

Next, Mu Jing will form an army in the military, and the three major armies will all have a naval combat force under their command.

Of course, this is all temporary, as long as there is a chance, Mu Jing will personally form a navy, and the navy will be more rigorous when it comes to fleets fighting at sea.

"Zhang Yun can take on important responsibilities, but I still think that he must be given a general!" Xi Zhicai suggested.

"In this regard, your Privy Council can make a decision, just bring it up!"

Shepherd nodded.

"Private Envoy Huang hasn't come back?" Xi Zhicai frowned.

"almost!"

Mujing Road.

It was originally decided that Huang Zhong would escort him back, but the problem at the front line has not been resolved, Huang Zhong still has to guard the front line, but he is about to ascend the throne, Huang Zhong will definitely come back.

However, it is necessary to establish a defense line on the northern front to some extent.

"Alright!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Take this opportunity to count the casualties of this battle!"

He looked at Mu Jing with some bitterness in his eyes: "If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. Our Ming army may face the most terrifying casualties since its formation!"

"No one wants casualties!"

Mujing shook his head: "I don't want to see it either, but it's something we can't help. None of us want to, but who can stop it!"

The battlefield was originally a place of sacrifice.

Death is the norm.

Whether it is victory or defeat, it will be accompanied by endless death, even if Mu Jing comes from the future, he can't change this.

All he can do is minimize casualties.

If it wasn't for the red-clothed cannon this time, even in the Nanyang War, the Ming army would be at a disadvantage if they could win. After all, the Wei army is not a vegetarian.

But the red-clothed cannon, a weapon that transcended the times, could have allowed the Ming army to win easily, reducing casualties by at least half.

"Before Gu ascends the throne, the data of the death in battle must be released. Gu must personally comfort those martyrs who died in battle. Gu can't bring them back from the battlefield, but at least Gu can let them enjoy the honor they deserve after death!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice.

He was not in a good mood either. After all, casualties would always affect the mood of many people, including Mu Jing's mood. If it wasn't for the beautiful fight this time, the casualties would shake the foundation of the Ming Kingdom even more.

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai also knows that Mujing needs to cheer up the hearts of the people. This may be a show, but countless soldiers who died in battle need this honor. Stepping stones, no one wants to die in battle without a name.

"There is one more thing, Gu wants to discuss it with you!"

"Say!"

"This time there may be more people in Zhaoming Pavilion!" Mu Jing looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "What do you think?"

"What can I think!"

Xi Zhicai was surprised, and said: "I can't decide the seat of Zhaoming Pavilion to participate in politics!"

"I didn't let you decide!"

Mu Jing pouted.

"Your Majesty, you want to fight Hu Zhao again?" Xi Zhicai immediately came to his senses.

Mu Jing is not without enemies. Hu Zhao stares down at him, and will attack him whenever he has the opportunity. Hu Zhao most hopes that Mu Jing can do things according to his own arrangements, but Mu Jing is not stupid, how could he be like this? Shun.

One is monarchy and the other is ministerial power. After all, there will be conflicts and contradictions.

"They are probably willing to let Bao Su in!"

Mujing didn't deny it, but said it directly.

"Bao Su?"

Xi Zhicai thought about it, and said: "He has enough qualifications and ability. If it weren't for his almost luck, he might have entered Zhaoming Pavilion long ago!"

"Gu didn't intend to stop it, but Gu wanted to add someone!"

Mujing established Zhaoming Pavilion more because he hoped that the Ming Kingdom could operate healthily, rather than letting himself monopolize the world. Anyone is prone to make mistakes, and so is he.

"Who?"

Xi Zhicai was a little skeptical.

"How about Governor Yongzhou?"

Mu Jing said with a smile.

"Kuai Liang?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes protruded, and he was a little surprised: "How did you think of this person!"

"He is a very capable person!"

Mu Jing replied with a smile.

"Let me deal with it first!" Xi Zhicai's mind was a little messed up, and he felt that he didn't quite understand Mujing's thoughts. He pondered for a while, and after he calmed down his thoughts, he gradually came to think about it.

He looked at Mujing tentatively: "New Deal?"
