Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 117 Li Guangdi panicked (please subscribe!)

"Your Majesty, this naval battle may have been impolite, as Governor Yao described in his memorial. The fake ship is strong and powerful, just like the Hongmaoyi's plywood boat and new artillery. The Fujian Navy can't beat it. It is not a crime of war !” Nalan Mingzhu spoke for the Fujian Navy a little
Nalan Mingzhu's rhetoric won the support of some Hanchens. The powerful Western warships had been seen in the Ming Dynasty in the early years. Kangxi also seems to have eased, but this time the defeat, after all, is to find someone to stop the people talking.

"Your Majesty, the important thing now is the next sea defense plan, but for Shi Lang, this officer should be killed, and not killing is not enough to stabilize the morale of the army!" consensus.

Seeing that Shi Lang was about to be convicted, Li Guangdi, a cabinet scholar with a stake in him, had no choice but to speak out.

When Shi Lang died, his family was gone.

"Your Majesty, this defeat is not the fault of Shi Lang alone. Shi Lang still has a role to play. It is better to let him take the blame and make contributions to consolidate Fujian's coastal defense." Li Guangdi pleaded on the ground.

Suo'etu was not happy when he heard this, everyone didn't mention your Li family in Anxi Hutou, you still want to keep Shi Lang, you really don't know what to do.

"Your Majesty, Fujian was defeated, and the court's decades of hard work were ruined. If Shi Lang is not killed, it's not enough to stop the mouths of all living beings in the world."

Suo'etu's attitude is firm, and he must punish Shi Langming canonically.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to give Shi Lang one more chance. What the pirates of the Ming Dynasty most want to see is the death of Admiral Shi Lang by the Qing Dynasty. Lovers will suffer, enemies will be quick!"

Li Guangdi was hoarse, and his wailing made Kangxi very embarrassed.

Kangxi and Li Guangdi were very close.

Li Guangdi was especially favored in the Kangxi Dynasty. He not only won the honor of "three bestowed imperial plaques", but was also regarded as a "friend" by Emperor Kangxi, cited as a "confidant", and became the most trusted Han official.

Later, when Li Guangdi died of illness, Kangxi couldn't help himself, and said very sadly: "Knowing (Li Guangdi) is the most true, there is no one like me; knowing me, there is no one who is better than Guangdi."

It means that the person who knows Li Guangdi the most in the world is better than Kangxi, and the person who knows Kangxi the most is only Li Guangdi.

"Think about it, give Shi Lang one more chance, there is no possibility for the whole family and the Hutou Li clan to be saved!" Kangxi said sternly.

It means that as long as Shi Lang is executed this time, Kangxi can write off Li Guangdi's military order for the sake of affection.

But if you are an iron head, there will be no such good thing next time.

Hearing this, Li Guangdi got more excited and lay down on the ground again: "I beg the emperor to give Admiral Shi another chance, if there is another failure, let the emperor deal with it."

In such a situation, Kangxi was in a dilemma, he would be happy if he killed him, and it would be reasonable not to kill him.

After a long time, Kangxi's voice came from the Palace of the Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, Shi Lang had to kill him!

"Give Shi Lang poisonous wine, keep the whole body, Suo'etu, you are responsible for contacting the Hongmaoyi and Frangji people, and cooperate with them. The Qing Dynasty will purchase new warships from the West, and get up wherever you fall!"

Kangxi learned from the pain, obviously, this big defeat deeply hurt his nerves.

"In addition, Wan Zhengse is temporarily serving as the admiral of the Fujian Navy and concurrently as the admiral of the land route. He will be responsible for rebuilding the navy."

He was the tallest among the dwarves, and he was the only one available in Fujian.

Kangxi really regretted not listening to him before, what he said really made sense.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

"Shi Lang was recommended by Li Guangdi, a cabinet scholar, and he was also at fault. Thinking of his hard work, he was demoted to a co-organizer, and was fined three years of salary." Kangxi held it up high and put it down gently.

Li Guangdi was deeply moved and saved his family. He wept bitterly, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed again and again.

Such a good slave, how could Kangxi be willing to kill him.

Confused, although the slave is good, but too aggressive, how can he take the whole family's life to do things!
The matter of Li Guangdi is here to turn. Everyone saw that Kangxi did not pursue the matter of the Li family in Anxi Hutou, and no one held on to it, otherwise the emperor would be offended.

The matter of Li Guangdi is easy to talk about, but what the Qing Dynasty is worried about is that it treats the puppet sea bandits like this.

At present, there is absolutely no power to fight back at sea. After the destruction of the strongest Fujian navy, other Guangdong navy, such as two or three kittens, are completely useless.

Kangxi thought about it, it was difficult!

Is it only possible to negotiate a peace?

In fact, in history, Zheng Jing and the Qing Dynasty negotiated peace many times back and forth.

In the 16th year of Kangxi, Prince Kang Jieshu of the Qing Dynasty promised Zheng Jing that if Zheng Jun withdrew from the coastal islands of Fujian and retreated to Yizhou Island, he would promise Taiwan to become a vassal and "do business and trade with Ming Zheng without suspicion."

Zheng Jing ignored this.

Instead, on February 17th, 3th year of Kangxi, Liu Guoxuan was sent to capture Hudu Bridge first, cutting off the connection between Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. After about [-] months of siege, Haicheng was captured on June [-]th.

In the 17th year of Kangxi, General Laita of the Qing Dynasty wrote to Zheng Jing, saying that if Zheng Jun is willing to retreat to Yizhou Island, why would this dynasty regret a small overseas land, and the Zheng family can occupy Yizhou Island forever, and there is no need to go ashore from now on. You don’t need to shave your hair, you don’t need to change your clothes. It’s okay to be a minister and pay tribute, but it’s also okay not to be a minister, and it’s also okay to not pay tribute. The North Korea with Yizhou Island as the Jizi is the Wa country of Xu Fu.

With such generous conditions, Zheng Jing still insisted on not negotiating a peace.

As a result, after years of fighting, their strength was exhausted. In the end, Wan Zhengse repelled them and gave up all the strongholds along the coast.

Until August of the 19th year of Kangxi, Qing Beizi Laita wrote a letter to Zheng Jing, according to the North Korean example, "do not shave your hair, do not go ashore, and pay tribute as ministers, so that the coastal people will live forever."

This time Ming Zheng had already run out of ammunition and food, Zheng Jing finally agreed, but only asked to keep Haicheng as a market place.

As a result, Yao Qisheng, governor of Fujian, refused to allow it, and the peace negotiation failed.

All kinds of extreme tension between the two sides are now very likely to return to the negotiating table.

"Your Majesty, the only way out for now is to restart the peace talks!" Nalan Mingzhu, who was mature and seeking for the country, suggested.

"How can this be so, the pirates are nothing but small places, and there are a bunch of jumping clowns, why should I be afraid!" Suo'etu said forcefully.

"Suo'etu, since you are so powerful, you should be the admiral of the Fujian Navy." Nalan Mingzhu sarcastically said.

The two started a new dispute again. You said something to me, and the Qing court was like a vegetable market.

Only this time, most people agreed with the peace negotiation resolution.

"Mingzhu, you are solely responsible for the negotiation." Kangxi was very helpless. Now the coastline of the Qing Dynasty would be attacked by the Minhai Fleet at any time. Only negotiation can reduce the loss.

Kangxi's idea is to pretend to negotiate peace first, so as to buy time for the navy to develop for a period of time, even if some conditions are sacrificed.

"If the peace talks fail, then let the Han people move another five miles inland!" It's better for the poor people than the gang of stinky pirates for nothing.
