Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

227. Liu Guoxuan is Dying

The Thai and Western missionaries who have stayed in Beijing recently are a little annoyed. On the one hand, a group of Catholic priests who have recently come to China, led by the French Jesuit Bai Jin, strongly oppose the "Ricci Rule", that is, they oppose the sinicization of Catholicism. On the other hand, the Qing court threatened them with the abolition of the right to preach, and forced them to manufacture soft-sail plywood ships for the Qing court that could travel thousands of miles across the ocean.

Speaking of which, most of the knowledge in Europe in this era was concentrated in the hands of the priests, and the church naturally had detailed line drawings and manufacturing techniques of various ships. Fear of "disaster", although Western missionaries were willing to cast artillery for the Qing court, they were absolutely unwilling to assist the Qing court in making vehicles that could ride the waves, just as they taught the method of casting cannons but not the essentials of shelling.

However, Kangxi was a feudal king with supreme authority. If his requirements were not met, the results of decades of missionary work in China would inevitably be destroyed.what to do?Is it to lift the ban on the Tatars, or to return home?The clerics who were hesitant about this were forced to adopt procrastination tactics and perfunctory on the grounds of ignorance. At the same time, they said that they could report the needs of the Qing court to the Roman Church and ask Rome to send special craftsmen.

But how can these little tricks get away with it.For this reason, the Qing court clearly told them that if they couldn't help with shipbuilding, they would all be sent back to Macau. Now even the buffy Bai Jin was caught blind.what to do?This time I was really hurt by those Saxon Puritans who only recognized money

Ruan Fuqin is also a bit annoyed recently. The news that the Qing army failed to invade Taiwan again has formed a terrible shadow in his heart. You must know that this is not eight hundred or eight thousand. The full [-] Qing army can be said to be the entire military strength of Guangnan. Several times, such a powerful army sank into the sea in one day. If Dongning Zheng Jun remembered his previous invasion of Jinlan and turned around to take revenge, how could the small country of Guangnan resist it.

But he bowed his head and subdued, thinking that there is such a huge monster entrenched around him, he is a little restless, not to mention that Mingzheng's purpose of establishing a base here is self-evident. road?what to do?Ruan Fuqin tossed and turned and could not sleep at night.

Compared with the missionaries and Ruan Fuqin, it was actually the Qing court officials in the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong who were more upset.It must be known that after the victory of Zheng Jun's naval battle, the strength of the navy that had been hidden has been fully exposed. Now that everything has been exposed, Zheng Jun's side will be smashed.Starting from October [-]th, Zheng Jun's navy invaded the coastal areas of the three provinces for more than [-] consecutive days, successively shelling Jinxia, ​​Tongshan, Nan'ao, Haitan, Haimen, Wenzhou, Yuhuan, Taiping, Changshi, and Jieshi. and all remaining ships were destroyed.At the same time, the Youlongxiang Division repeatedly attacked under the cover of gunboats, damaging the border wall and absorbing the population, so that the three provinces were always in a state of panic.

However, this is not over yet. A group of six Zheng Jun's fast fleet sailed into the mouth of the Yongjiang River on the seventh day of November, bombarded Dinghai City, and once penetrated deep into the city of Ningbo, scaring the officials and people of Ningbo to abandon the city and flee. The meaning of landing, otherwise Ningbo is like a girl with her thighs spread apart, allowing Zheng Jun to occupy it at will.

On November [-]th, Zheng Jun invaded Zhapu again, and the rest of the Zhapu navy of the Qing army fled to the west of Hangzhou. Zheng Jun occupied the entire water village in his spare time, removed the iron cannons and other weapons left by the Qing army and some gunpowder, and set fire to the village. , there was an uproar in Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places, and it was not until the second day after Zheng Jun withdrew that the hearts of the people were slightly calmed down.

"Brother Gong, congratulations." Maying looked at Gong Tian in front of him with some taste, yes, the first earl in the boy scout system was born, unfortunately it was not her, but Gong Tian in front of her. "Shouldn't it be time to invite those of us who are born in the same year to have a good time?"

"No problem, but don't just talk about me, your brother also won the prize of commander, but he is only a stone's throw away from the earl." Gong Tian responded with a smile on his face. , but the pride belongs to the pride, he hasn't lost his mind yet. "It's a pity that Lin Kang and Hong Hui are gone, and now they are Zhengqianhu"

"At the beginning, they were asked to choose the land division or the navy division. Who made them choose the wrong one." Maying said lightly, compared with his unsatisfied peers, his current status is also a difference. "But it means that we don't have any old people above us. If the navy has teachers like Mr. Sun and Mr. He, whether it's the earl or the commander, it's our turn."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Uncle Wu Ping for losing all the navy in Penghu?" Yan Daoji next to him joked that this time he also won the title of Commander and Tongzhi. Although he is not as good as Gong and Ma, he is also worthy Enough to be proud of the world for several generations. "I don't know if Wu Pingbo will vomit blood when we go to thank him now."

"Don't tell me, I heard that Uncle Wu Ping's body has collapsed." Although Tan An didn't have a good impression of Liu Guoxuan, he still respected Liu Guoxuan because he was a senior in the army after all. "It is estimated that this winter may not be able to survive."

"Is there such a thing?" Tang Shenzhi asked inquiringly. "How did you know?"

"Isn't Du Hu a member of the Military Academy now? He went to see Uncle Wu Ping with Master Lin." Tan An shook his head. "Since ancient times, beautiful women are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair."

"The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and the new generation wins over the old ones is a cycle of heaven." Gong Tian was rather disapproving. "It's enough to scream twice, we don't necessarily have to give in to those old people in everything." Thinking of Lin Kang and the others who are still serving as sentry officers and army commanders, Gong Tian said in a very firm tone. "If the Lord finds out about this, he will definitely say that we have lost our spirit."

"Well said." Ma Yingjie praised. "A navy is like a cavalry, and a plunder is like the wind. The key is not to lose your spirit. If you sail slowly like a Qing prisoner, that is the way to death." The two admirals reached an agreement, enough to suppress The voices of peers, but Maying didn't want to make it too stiff, so she asked. "You said, Qinglu suffered such a big loss, will he also learn to build soft-sail plywood boats?"

"It's possible." Chu Jin expressed a trace of worry. "The motherland is rich in products. If the Qing captives compete with us for national power, we will be exhausted. I don't know if the Lord, the Military Affairs Department, and the big bosses of the Military Academy have considered this point."

"It must have been considered, otherwise the lord would not have kept us hidden until now before throwing it out."

"That's the case." Gong Tian agreed with Tang Shenzhi's point of view. "But how many years have we learned how to make three-masted sailboats? Even if the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty are stronger than Ma Yuan and the others, they can be a little stronger. If you are only competing with two-masted gunboats, Maying, when the time comes, you will not be alone. If you get the Earl's lottery, you may even be able to advance directly to the Marquis."

"Pull it down. You put it nicely. According to the master's rule, you will be transferred in three years. When Qinglu builds the gunboat, it's your turn to be the admiral of the main fleet." Maying smiled wryly. "I'm afraid this marquis will be kept for you."

"Okay, brother Ma, old Ma, you just gave and accepted privately, who said that it must be my turn to be the admiral of the main fleet."

"Isn't this obvious." Maying wanted to say something more, when the guards standing outside came in to report. "Stop talking, the master is here, let's hear what's wrong with the Military Affairs Department today."

"Now, according to the joint discussion of the Military Affairs Department and the Military Academy, we will make the following clotha," Lin Heng glanced at the naval generals in front of him, and then muttered. "A, give the main fleet the Zhenguo Fleet, and the fast fleet the Fubo Fleet." The names of the Zhenguo Fleet and the Fubo Fleet are obviously bluffing, so that Maying and Gong Tian both grinned. "B, transfer fifteen brigantine gunships including Taishan and Lujiang, which were originally part of the main fleet, to the fast fleet."

Ma Ying was not surprised by Lin Heng's order. After all, it was an expedient policy to incorporate the three-thousand-material two-masted gunboat into the main fleet. Transferring to the Fubo Fleet made him displeased. Wouldn't the Zhenguo Fleet become an empty shell?

However, before Maying opened his mouth, Lin Heng blocked his mouth with the following words: "Drop the twelve gunboats of the first, second, third, and fourth teams of the original fast fleet, and four thousand material notification ships and the original deer. Seven Fuchuan and three boats belonging to the Hong Kong Squadron formed the Northern Fleet with the [-]st Regiment of Youlongxiang Division, stationed in the two capitals of Seogwipo and Yezo, and appointed Chu Jin as the admiral of the Northern Fleet."

Chu Jin opened his mouth in surprise, but Lin Heng obviously didn't want him to say anything, and continued on his own: "Bing, use the Taishan and other six 1000-material gunboats to reorganize the Annan Squadron of the Fubo Fleet, and bring Release [-] miners and move them to Jinlan Dudufu to deter Guangnan, Chenla, Tini and Siam and monitor southwestern Guangdong and Qiongzhou."

Before the war, the Zheng army had a total of 42 two-masted gunboats. Now, apart from the twelve ships of the Northern Fleet, six ships of the Annan Squadron, and 24 ships directly under the name of the Fubo Fleet, it happened to be the original number of the fast fleet. These gunboats will be widely seen in the vast waters between Japan and Dongning, Dongning and Labuan, and Chaowubao. No matter how small the number is, it is indeed not enough.

"Ding, revoke the original Lukang team. The personnel and ships will be incorporated into the Keelung team first. The former leader of the Lukang team, Huang Chuxu, will be transferred to be the leader of the Keelung team." Lin Heng looked around, but found no sign of Huang Chuxu, so he had to go further. Next say. "E, the former Boy Scout Shipyard was moved to Keelung and belonged to the Naval Academy, the former Military Affairs Department Jiazi Shipyard was moved to Seogwipo, and the Xuanzi Shipyard was formerly the Governor's Mansion of Yezou."

After Lin Heng finished speaking, the meeting was adjourned, and at this time Gong Tian looked at Chu Jin enviously: "It's over, there hasn't been much movement in Min Hai in the past few years, but there are still some articles to do in the north, Xiao Chu, it's up to you next it's over"
