Liu Sheng heard the implication of He Yingrui's words and said: "He Shilang means that Longjiang Shipyard currently does not have enough experience in manufacturing warships?"

"Yes."

"In addition to making six hundred warships, can they also make sea ships?"

At this time, He Yingrui was a little unable to answer. He blushed and said, "I don't know."

Liu Sheng was not angry because of this, but he said with a serious expression: "I want to make great use of Longjiang Shipyard and restore it to its former glory. The Ministry of Industry will send people to Longjiang Shipyard to investigate as soon as possible, find out its situation, and write a memorial Come up.

In addition, according to the situation, a plan to restore the manufacturing capacity of Longjiang Shipyard is drafted and submitted later.

It is not necessary for Minister He to do this himself. He can find a few officials who know how to build ships to take charge of this matter. "

Liu Sheng's words were mixed with many new words. Although the meaning of the words could be guessed from the literal meaning, He Yingrui still found it a little difficult.

Thinking again that he couldn't answer Liu Sheng's question just now, He Yingrui felt ashamed, but instead aroused his fighting spirit and determined to do what Liu Sheng told him well - he also liked this feeling of being practical and practical.

At this time, Liu Sheng said loudly: "If you have anything you don't understand about the things I just said, please feel free to ask."

He Yingrui heard this and immediately said, "May I ask your Majesty, what is a plan?"

"The plan is..."

After that, Liu Sheng had a detailed discussion with He Yingrui and others about the few things just now, and decided on many key things.

By the time everything was discussed, it was already more than half an hour later.

Ma Shiying, He Yingrui and others were about to retire when they saw the guards entering the palace to report, "Your Majesty, good news has come from Jiangxi!"

Liu Sheng was not surprised when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Pass it on."

When the battle report was sent to the imperial court, Liu Sheng read it slowly under the attention of Ma Shiying and others.

After reading it, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, Jiangxi was finally won."

Jiangxi won?
Ma Shiying and others were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then they all showed surprise.

According to previous battle reports, most of Ji'an Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture, Guangxin Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi are under the control of the Ming army. How come they were gone in just ten days?
Zhang Kuang seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that something happened to Pan Zenghong, the governor of Southern Jiangxi?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Kuang's military talent is really good.When there are enough officials in the future, they may be transferred to the Military Academy.

Seeing that several ministers were looking curious, Liu Sheng did not show off and nodded: "Yes, Pan Zenghong, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, died of illness. Li Dingguo, Huang Gan and Lin Zhanfei worked together to take over Ji'an Prefecture. ) join forces.

At this time, the "Discussing the Ming Dynasty" also spread to Ganzhou, Fuzhou, Jianchang and other prefectures, so these local officials took the initiative to change their banners and submit to Dawei. "

Ma Shiying, He Yingrui and other important officials of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered in Nanjing were even more surprised after hearing this.

The land of several mansions is determined by the message!

This shows that Dawei is already popular among people in the south!
Next, if Zhejiang and Guangdong cannot stop the first wave of attacks by the Yi army, it is likely that the same situation will occur depending on the communication!
After coming back to their senses, several people looked at each other, and they all saw that each other was in a complicated mood - both happy and uncomfortable, because they were once ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately, Ma Shiying bowed to Liu Sheng first and said loudly: "Congratulations to the king for pacifying Jiangxi!"

The rest of the people also shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the king for pacifying Jiangxi!"

···
Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

Jishui County, Gucun.

"Mr. Li, we are both from Jiangxi. Please meet me."

Sitting in the study, Li Banghua frowned when he heard the shouts outside the courtyard. Finally he could only sigh, straighten his gray hair slightly, and walked out.

He was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli and is now 68 years old.

In the early years of Chongzhen, he served as the right minister of the Ministry of War, the governor of the military affairs of the capital, and the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.Under his rectification, the Beijing Jingying camp was slightly better, and the Yongwei camp was also trained at that time. Three brave generals, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, and Sun Yingyuan, were discovered and promoted and handed over to Chongzhen.

But he also offended a large number of nobles and officials who had interests in Beijing.

It happened that the slaves invaded the capital and invaded the capital. The soldiers in the capital camp accidentally injured many soldiers in the general army and Guangxi with artillery. He was impeached and dismissed from office.

So I stayed at home for nearly ten years.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen's reign, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. He also reorganized the military defense and armaments in various parts of southern Zhili. He also reclaimed tens of thousands of hectares of idle land in Dangtu to reserve military supplies. Soon, Zhongdu and Nanjing were arranged like It is like an iron barrel and cannot be invaded by bandits.

Unexpectedly, in winter, his father passed away and he had to go home to mourn.

When a son mourns his father, he is required to do so for three years before it becomes appropriate.

This year is the last year.

Now there is no one available to the emperor in the court. If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably be used by the emperor after the funeral in winter.

Unexpectedly, in the autumn of the 13th year of Chongzhen, the situation in the Ming Dynasty took a turn for the worse. The bandits and the Yi army first divided Henan, and then divided it into one north and one south, leaving the officers and soldiers with little power to fight back.

Last autumn, the Yi army even occupied Huguang.

This spring, he sent an army of 20 men to the east and conquered northern Jiangxi and the entire southern Zhili within a month or two.

Not long ago, Pan Zenghong died of illness, and the remaining prefectures in Jiangxi were also announced, making the entire Jiangxi province owned by the Wei army.

He was previously the Minister of War in Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty and was in mourning at home. He was not dismissed from office. Therefore, as soon as the Yi army captured Jishui County, they sent troops to surround Gucun and monitor him.

As for the people outside the court seeking to see them, even some of them who are quite famous among Jiangxi officials and gentry today are not in the court due to various reasons and stay in their hometowns.

For example, Wan Yuanji, who was originally the supervisor of Yang Sichang, returned to his hometown to mourn his mother the year before last.

For example, Yang Tinglin of Qingjiang, Linjiang Prefecture, was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen. He was originally trained by Lu Xiangsheng to supervise the Tianxiong Army. Lu Xiangsheng was framed by Gao Qiqian and was defeated and died. Yang Sichang impeached Gao Qiqian and was demoted. Later, he was demoted because of his friend Huang Daozhou. He begged for mercy and was dismissed from office, so he gathered his disciples in the countryside to give lectures.

Another example is Liu Tongsheng in Jishui County, who was the number one scholar in the 12th year of Chongzhen. In the [-]th year of Chongzhen, he was demoted to the position of governor of the Fujian Prosecution and Envoys Department (not in the stream) because of his remonstrance against Yang Sichang. In anger, he resigned and returned to his hometown due to illness, and he stopped serving.

Li Banghua walked out of the courtyard, looked at Yang Tinglin, Wan Yuanji, Liu Tongsheng and others, and said: "I already know your purpose of coming, but this matter can only be based on your own opinions. Why do you have to ask me?"

Li Banghua had received a letter at home before.

But it was these people who wanted to ask, with the current situation in the world, whether they, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangxi, were going to become officials.

As for gathering troops to rebel against Wei, it is no longer within the scope of everyone's consideration.

Firstly, the Yi army is powerful, and the elite officers and soldiers in southern Jiangxi are no match for the Yi army. If they lead the villagers to rebel against the Yi army, it will be no different than seeking death.

Secondly, just look at the attitude of the people in the valley towards the Yi army.

When the Tai army arrived, they first arrested two notorious evil gentry and landlords in the village (Gucun was a large village with thousands of people) and put them on public trial. Then they used part of the money and grain obtained from ransacking their homes to provide relief to poor farmers.

Then several "military and political officers" were sent to set up schools in the village to teach children of civilians how to read and calculate for free. Officers from the Yi army led the soldiers to build houses for the poor, carry water, and even organized villagers to repair ditches.

With all the actions of the Yi army, not to mention the simple people in the countryside, even he couldn't help but say in his heart: The true rebel army!

Faced with such a Wei army, even with his prestige in Gucun and his status in the Li clan, it might be difficult to encourage the people to rebel.

If he insists on doing this, he might be tied up by the wise elders of the clan and sent to the Yi army to plead guilty.

Therefore, Yang Tinglin, Wan Yuanji and others came to look for him, just to ask about his official career.

To be more specific, I want him to take the lead and lead them to work together! (End of chapter)
