I am the carpenter king

The battle outside Chengdu was still going on. Although Qin Liangyu's troops were elite, the rebels were superior in numbers, and a large-scale scuffle soon broke out between the two sides.

Zhu Xieyuan on the top of the city could only shake his head and smile bitterly. If he had [-] soldiers in his hands, he would be able to wipe out the rebels outside the city in one fell swoop this time.In fact, he was also sighing in his heart, this time the rebels were besieging the city from all sides, if they had camped on one side, they would have already begun to be defeated by now.

Zhu Xieyuan didn't quite agree with Qin Liangyu's tactics in his heart, so there was no practical significance in rushing over like this.If it is really possible to steal camp from outside the city at night, the effect will definitely be much better than this.But he also knew in his heart that Qin Liangyu was also worried about the situation in Chengdu.

Qin Liangyu should have a good idea of ​​the situation in Chengdu, and most of what he is doing now is because he wants to enter the city.Zhu Xieyuan understood that as long as Qin Liangyu's Tu soldiers entered the city, the city of Chengdu would be lost.

The development of the matter did not disappoint him. Qin Liangyu led his men towards the gate of the city while fighting the rebels. [

"Open the city gate and tell the soldiers on the city to shoot arrows to organize the rebels!" Zhu Xieyuan looked back at the messenger and ordered with a smile.With such a team, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the Tu soldiers who kept entering the city, She Chongming was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.Although this army of Tu nationality has less than 2 people, it is well-equipped and powerful in combat.If I want to annihilate such an army, unless I prepare in advance, I am afraid that there is no hope in such a situation of being caught off guard.

"My lord!" Qin Liangyu said in a respectful tone as he clasped his fists at Zhu Xieyuan.

Smiling and nodding, although Zhu Xieyuan slandered Qin Liangyu's height, there was no hint of it on his face.It's just that you have to raise your head when talking to Qin Liangyu, which makes Zhu Xieyuan feel very uncomfortable.Zhu Xieyuan originally wanted to help Qin Liangyu, but suddenly remembered that the other party was a woman.Then he gave some help, and said with a smile: "I am very relieved that Qin Xuanfu envoy can come this time. I heard that Qin Xuanfu envoy is in Liaodong, why did you come back?"

As the governor of Sichuan, Zhu Xieyuan would have reported such things to the mansion, but the speed is hard to say.Now Sichuan is at war.Chengdu Mansion has been besieged, only God knows where Di Bao has been sent.

Qin Liangyu didn't hide anything either, and talked about what happened to him in Liaodong, focusing on Zunhua and Santunying.

"Congratulations to Qin Xuanfu. I didn't expect to be named General Huaiyuan. It's really gratifying to congratulate!" Qin Liangyu was originally a chieftain, and now he has the title of General Huaiyuan. .What's more, there is still the post of Sichuan General Soldier hanging behind, let alone this.

He saluted Zhu Xieyuan.Qin Liangyu said respectfully: "In the future, I need to take care of you!"

Gently nodding his head, Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "It's easy to say, General Qin doesn't have to be too polite!" The Ming Dynasty has always had the rule of governing military affairs with literature. As the chief envoy of Sichuan, Zhu Xieyuan has the authority over Qin Liangyu.

"My lord, look!" The two were talking, Qin Liangyu suddenly pointed to the rebels under the city, and said with a smile.

Follow Qin Liangyu's gaze.Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help smiling, because the rebels under the city had already begun to gather.It was originally surrounded on all sides.Now that both sides of it have been discarded, it is obvious that She Chongming has lost his mind.

In She Chongming's tent, his son She Yin was sitting on a chair angrily, with his right hand pressing the handle of the knife at his waist, his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

Glancing at his son, She Chongming sighed softly.Reluctantly said: "I don't want to do this either, but what can I do now? Qin Liangyu's troops have already entered Chengdu, so the siege on all sides is meaningless. On the contrary, the siege on all sides will become a scattered force. Just now you saw When they arrived, Qin Liangyu's troops were fighting outside a city gate. They almost failed to stop them."

"But father, this is just the first batch of reinforcements. The number of troops in the Ming Dynasty, if we can't take Chengdu quickly, I'm afraid there will be more nights and dreams after a long time!" It seemed that his father was right.She Yin's face looked a lot better, but he still hesitated to say.

With a confident smile, She Chongming said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this is the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, but these are Tu soldiers. I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty has no experience in taking care of Sichuan. The rebellious Ming army in Shandong is suppressing the rebellion. We are going to fight all the way to Beijing. The Mongols and Jurchens in the north are also making noise, and the Ming Dynasty is already exhausted.”

"Then what should we do next?" She Yin looked at She Chongming and asked with a smile, with a playful look on his lips.

"The next thing we will do is to attack. First consume the Ming army, and then find a way. Chengdu must be taken down. Only with Chengdu can we have Sichuan, and our father and son will have the foundation of our country." She Chongming's eyes flickered The light of excitement seems to have seen the scene of owning Sichuan.

The war in Sichuan has reached a stalemate. While attacking and defending, the entire battlefield appears tepid.People in the city are not worried at all, and people outside the city don't seem to be in a hurry.

In the Forbidden City of the capital, in the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Tianqi was not in the mood to think about Sichuan at this time.This section has been working hard on shipbuilding, Xu Guangqi and the others have reported the specific expenses, which surprised Emperor Tianqi. [

According to the discussions of Shen Yourong, Qi Jin, and Yu Zigao, they initially planned to recruit 2 sailors.Then Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua formulated several plans for shipbuilding based on this number. They needed to build 320 large warships and [-] other types of warships, for a total of [-] warships.These warships are equipped with [-] pieces of various types of artillery, and firearms such as muskets are counted on the head of the navy.

Seeing such a setup, such a setting, Emperor Tianqi only had one emotion in his heart, and that was excitement.You must know that the Spanish enemy fleet is only [-] sailors, [-] warships, and [-] artillery pieces.Although the navy of the Ming Dynasty was inferior, this was just the first time it had been seen, and it would definitely continue to develop in the future.Even so, it was enough for the Ming Dynasty to run rampant at sea.

But when Emperor Tianqi saw Xu Guangqi's detailed budget, his heart suddenly became cold.Not to mention shipbuilding, just to build a ship that can build such a large warship, it takes about 40 taels of silver.

The construction cost of each large warship plus the equipped artillery will require 50 taels of silver after the construction is completed. This amount directly frightened the Emperor Tianqi.Thinking about the remaining money in his internal treasury, it turned out that it was not enough for thirty warships, Emperor Tianqi didn't know what it was like.

Emperor Apocalypse originally thought that after building a fleet, he could take people to the sea to fight a dozen Frankies, but now it seems that this dream is far away.Emperor Apocalypse also cared about shipbuilding before. The cost of each ship in the Fujian Navy's shipyard was 10 taels, and there was money embezzled by officials.Now the cost of warships in the Ming Dynasty is pitifully low, so it goes without saying that they are powerful, which is why even the pirate Zheng Zhilong can't beat them.

Putting down the things in his hands, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Yu Zigao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Yu Zigao led such a navy and was forced to beat Zheng Zhilong, but he refused to go and was accused of being afraid of the enemy, and finally lost his head.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi's gaze cut over, Xu Guangqi and others were a little embarrassed. They only cared about the powerful navy, but they forgot the feasibility.After the calculation, Xu Guangqi felt that this was a fantasy, and now he was a little ashamed to face Emperor Tianqi.

Ignoring Xu Guangqi, Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Yuanhua, and asked in a deep voice: "I've finished reading this thing, let's talk about it, Sun Aiqing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister's preliminary plan is to prepare the shipbuilding work before the year, and find all the materials and craftsmen for the construction of the shipyard. Now there are more than ten copies, and the weather will soon be cold. The construction can no longer be started. Next spring, the construction can be started directly. If the construction of the shipyard is fully manned, I think it should take three months!" Sun Yuanhua bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Go ahead!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! After the shipyard was built, I felt that warships might not be able to be built in the first year, even if there were one or two. I am afraid that the real shipbuilding will start in the next year. If things go well, it will take about a year." It can build about ten ships. If the ship is built according to the plan, it may take seven years to complete, and the annual cost is about 500 million taels, and the total cost is 500 million taels!" Sun Yuanhua looked at Tianqi cautiously while talking emperor.Sun Yuanhua felt in his heart that this matter could not be accomplished. Where would Emperor Tianqi get so much silver?

Emperor Tianqi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard these words. People in this era have limited vision, but Emperor Tianqi is different.As a latecomer, I deeply understand the importance of the ocean in this era, and also understand what ocean trade means to the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Emperor Tianqi thought about planning to open the sea, but Emperor Tianqi thought about it for a long time and felt that this road was not easy to go.Although there is Longqing Kaihai ahead, and the Ming Dynasty also has the Shibo Division, but there is a huge resistance in it.One is domestic and the other is foreign.

After some careful consideration, Emperor Tianqi felt that he lacked a navy, a powerful navy.Only with the right to speak at sea can we talk about maritime trade, otherwise it is useless in this era.

If there is no right to speak, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty may not be able to leave the seaport, and they can only sell things to foreigners.If the Dutch dare to occupy Taiwan, just say it, type it out!This is the effect that Emperor Tianqi wants. (to be continued...)
