Chapter 506 Navy?

Yang Reform found out tragically that he is getting more and more busy now. He thought that everything would be fine after solving the salt merchants, but he didn't know that there were more and more things. It is really depressing to be busy every day without touching the ground.

In the past few days, I have been soaking in the platform every day, either here or there, I can't find the leisure I imagined.

platform.

Busy as always.Except for those attendants, those new troops were busy, and Yang Reform, the emperor, was even more busy.

……

"In this case, then transfer Wu Sangui to the outside of the pass and let him follow Mangui and Zhao to fight against the Mongols." Yang Reform listened to a bunch of reports from his attendants, then asked Sun Chengzong, and finally came to this conclusion.

"I obey." Sun Chengzong replied.

"In Shaanxi, who is going to change the defense? Master Sun thinks who is suitable? There are many bandits in that place, and the new army needs to suppress them..." Yang Reform also said that the issue discussed today is the expansion of the territory of the Mongolian Imperial Association Army. Therefore, The imperial court should also send more troops to suppress it. Now it is not enough to rely on Man Gui and the 1 troops led by Zhao. There are only [-] elites on the prairie. Although there are many frontier troops "helping", those people, Yang Reform, including the staff, did not rely on them, that is, let them fight the autumn wind with the new army. , is still a new army, therefore, the suppressed army also has to increase in size, and there is another important factor, that is, leveling, having fought with the bandits, it is time to compete with the Mongols, and to compete with the Mongols , you can compete with wild boar skin, which is also the upgrade route that Yang Reform set before.Even if Yang Reform was a time traveler, even if he had golden thighs, he didn't expect the new army he had just trained to defeat the wild boar skin in the field.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that now there is no need for so many people to be there for the Shanxi business case, but one of Kong Youde or Geng Zhongming can be transferred to Shaanxi, so that they can be further sharpened!" Sun Chengzong replied again.

"Well, yes, let's transfer one of them to Shaanxi. Also, when will the sea thaw? We have to prepare for the money transportation." Yang Reform said with a headache, and now he has brought down the salt merchants. , but there are more things, unprovoked headaches.

"Return to Your Majesty, according to the latest report, in a few days, the sea surface should be completely unblocked. This troop carrier is still safer, so let's wait a few more days." Sun Chengzong replied again.

"Well, indeed, we'd better wait until the lockdown is completely unblocked before leaving. It would be bad if the ship sinks. The new army is my treasure, and I can't afford to lose it. By the way, we can still leave early. When we arrive in Tianjin , the time just happened to catch up." Yang Reform said again.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong did not refute.

"Then Master Sun, who is more appropriate to send? How should the money be handled? But there must be no accidents..." Yang Reform asked, three to forty million taels of silver is really eye-catching, if the escort Lost or robbed, that would be an anecdote in the world, with my face, I guess I have to clean the toilet.

"Your Majesty, I think that one of the monks Lei Dayong can be chosen to escort the silver back to Beijing. In addition, Commander Fang is probably ready to handle the case in the south, and he can also escort the silver back to Beijing together. Therefore, the number of people should be almost the same. ..." Sun Chengzong said again.

"Well, that's not bad. Now the south should send troops there, and Shanghai also needs to be stationed. This..." Yang Reform felt that there was one word for no reason, and there were too many things, one after another, endless.

"In that case, let's transfer Lei Dayong and Shang Kexi to the south. Shang Kexi leads troops to assist Fang Hongzan in escorting the silver back. As for Lei Dayong, let's send the fleet to Shanghai. The port should also be built, and the fleet also needs a place to stay..." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.

"I lead the order, but, Your Majesty, will the barbarian fleet also follow?" Sun Chengzong agreed and asked again.

"The fleet of the barbarians? Well, let them follow. The new army's time at sea is short after all. Let them learn more from the barbarians. As for the cost of employment, I will pay. If I can persuade them to concentrate on serving me It's better to work hard, so you might as well put forward conditions." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.

"The minister leads the decree!" After Sun Chengzong finished his answer, he suddenly asked: "...Your Majesty, the fleet of the navy and the barbarians have been transferred, what about the Liaodong coast?"

"Liaodong coast?" Yang Reform felt a headache. Although the salt merchants had collapsed, they needed to re-arrange and re-arrange everywhere, so as to conform to their grand strategy and intention as much as possible. It really hurt Yang Reform's mind.

"...Liaodong coastal area..." Yang Reform looked carefully again through the sand table, and his mind suddenly dropped from the national level to the small strategic level outside the customs. Yang Reform's brains were not enough.

"Your Majesty, this Songshan Fort is close to the sea. Now that Donglu has surrounded Songshan Fort, it is very close to the sea. It can even be said that it controls this section of the coastline. When several staff officers deduced the battle outside the pass the day before yesterday, some people took advantage of this area. Duan Coast sent the information and firearms to Donglu, so he won the deduction. I feel that this is indeed a loophole, and it is not a problem. This sea area should be patrolled strictly to prevent spies from approaching this section of the coast, and more importantly, to guard against firearms. Docking here, once guns and other firearms come ashore from here, Songshan Fort will be in danger... In addition, according to the assumption of the few staff officers, Songshan Fort is very close to the sea, and the water camp can also be used to harass. Seeing Ziru’s strategy of attacking the eastern captives and probing horses may as well be implemented on the sea, presumably the effect should be better..." Seeing that the emperor hadn't made up his mind yet, Sun Chengzong mentioned another thing.

"Oh! And this thing! Send firearms ashore?" Yang Reform was taken aback!This is really quite surprising. Think about it, if someone really sends things like cannons to Songshan Fort, then Songshan Fort will really be over, and then the whole plan will collapse. Look at Songshan The distance from the fort to the coast, Yang Reform's heart beat wildly...

"This is indeed a loophole! I didn't expect that there is such a talent in the staff department? Who is that? If he hadn't reminded me, I would have missed a big deal!" Yang Reform's heart beat violently for a while before he calmed down. The ice has not been completely unsealed, but ships can indeed go out to sea by force. Although there is a certain degree of danger, if Donglu gets the cannon somewhere and transports it to the shore, it will be a big trouble. The lost hand needs to be made up for as soon as possible, and what is more subtle is the issue of rights and territory. This is something that Yang Reform didn't care much about before, but now he only feels a headache...

After being shocked, Yang Reform felt that this was good news. Recently, he was busy making arrangements for the whole big new situation, and he was already so busy that he was dizzy. He didn't have the mind to take care of Yuan Chonghuan. The "staff department" supported by people can now gradually cultivate talents by themselves. If you look at things this way, it is good news. This is far better than relying on history alone. Today's history has already passed. After changing the trajectory, my own advantages are gradually fading, and I can no longer do "divine operations". Now, it is all about relying on people to fight against people. This kind of people who can think about problems is indeed what I urgently need.

"Return to Your Majesty, this person is also a student of the New Army, a servant of the platform, and his name is Jin Youshan." Sun Chengzong reported.

"Hmm, Jin Youshan? Hehe, I remember it, not bad." Hearing this name, Yang Reform laughed. He was no stranger to this name, had seen it on the platform, and had some impressions.

"Your Majesty wants to see?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"Well, let's meet." Yang Reform became interested, and Yang Reform, who felt that his brain was not enough, needed someone to think for him.

After a while, an attendant came, and Yang Reform recognized him right away.

"Jin Youshan?" Yang Reform asked first with a smile.

"The students are here!" Jin Youshan, who had just entered the platform, immediately stood at attention and saluted very seriously.

"Exemption!" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Yes!" Jin Youshan put down his hands.

"I heard that during the deduction, you used the coast of Songshan Fort to send news and firearms to Donglu, so you won the deduction. Is there such a thing?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. Although it is only a deduction, the students feel that it is still necessary to send sailors to patrol this section of the coastline strictly to prevent spies from using this section of the coast to transmit news. In this way, Donglu is a blind man outside the customs. You can't see anything, you can't touch anything, it's the fog of the battlefield that His Majesty always taught us..." Jin Youshan replied immediately.

"Good!" Yang Reform immediately applauded the words.Yang Reform is very pleased. After training for so long, the staff department has finally begun to produce talents.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Jin Youshan hurriedly humbled himself.

"Then I want to ask you, what do you think of Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of finding trouble with Donglu?" Yang Reform became interested and planned to test this person. He just needed someone to think for him, and now he was busy with the whole world. The layout of the level, in the face of Yuan Chonghuan's small situation outside the customs, is not enough energy and powerless, but someone needs to think for himself.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the students think the idea is very good, but the implementation needs to be strong, and it is necessary to prevent being ambushed by Donglu, let alone be discouraged. Even if you lose some, you must continue to implement this strategy. Even if you can't win, it will consume Donglu's strength. It's also good." Jin Youshan began to talk eloquently.

Yang Reform listened for a while, but there was nothing new, similar to what he had heard before.

"Well, very good. I see that you seem to have a good understanding of how to besiege Donglu, and I am also proud of your reminder. The coast of Songshan Fort is indeed a big loophole, and it really needs to be strictly guarded against. I plan to send someone to take charge of it. A section of the coast, I wonder if you are interested?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to His Majesty, the student is willing." Jin Youshan blushed, and immediately replied, he has not been on the platform for a day or two, and he has always wanted to find an opportunity to let it out, but the opportunity is rare!His seniors and brothers are all doing great things. They are very enviable. They desperately want to find an opportunity to go out and do something, but the emperor seems to have forgotten their existence and just called them Staying in the staff department, now that there is another opportunity like this, I will let it go.

"Okay! Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of attacking the eastern captives and exploring horses, you know, this is better. The side of Songshan Fort near the sea is indeed a huge loophole, and it needs to be filled. Then, perfect Yuan Chonghuan's strategy and make up for it. You will be in charge of this part of Shanghai, actively cooperate with Yuan Chonghuan, understand? As for the boats, I can dispatch some from Yousi Shuiying for you. If you fight well, you will be rewarded. If you break it, you will be punished..." Yang Reform smiled and said, since someone discovered this loophole, it might as well let the person who discovered it try to plug this loophole. Yang Reform doesn't have that much energy and thought to manage Yuan Chonghuan now.

"Students take orders!" Jin Youshan immediately replied happily. Now, he can finally be on his own. This opportunity is really rare. Thinking about the promising prospects of all his seniors, Jin Youshan couldn't help being excited.

After saying some words of encouragement, Yang Reform sent Jin Youshan away.

……

"Master Sun, the Liaodong coast should be sealed off as soon as possible, and it must be strictly blocked, especially the Songshan Fort. Intelligence and firearms must not be allowed to go ashore..." Yang Reform said seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong agreed.

"...Send Mao Wenlong a message and ask his water battalion to go out to patrol the sea immediately, so as not to take advantage of Donglu's loopholes. His water battalion is more reliable in matters at sea. In addition, the section of Songshan Fort makes him very special. Take care, although there is Jin Youshan, but Jin Youshan is mainly busy with the exploration of the eastern captives. He may not be proficient in maritime affairs. As for Yuan Chonghuan, he should also be reminded to let his water camp pay attention to this section and strengthen patrols. , You must not conflict with Mao Wenlong, everything should be state affairs..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and then added a heavy tone. This issue is not a simple issue of the coastline, but also involves the issue of territory and rights. No one wants to Someone stepped into his territory, but now Yuan Chonghuan's water camp is too weak to do anything, and Mao Wenlong may not be willing to step into Yuan Chonghuan's territory, which is a problem.

The coastline of Songshan Fort was originally under the control of Yuan Chonghuan. Mao Wenlong would not take too much care of it. It is impossible for Donglu to transport things or send information from this place. People pay attention to it, but it is different now. It is controlled by Donglu, so there is a problem... It was originally controlled by Yuan Chonghuan, and it was Yuan Chonghuan's territory, and Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan have always been very difficult to deal with. Historically, There is even the matter of Yuan Chonghuan killing Mao Wenlong, so Mao Wenlong will not take too much care of this area, so as not to conflict with Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan's water camp ability is limited. Now it seems that this area has become a junction point of power, a A forgotten place does have loopholes. Even if the firearms cannot be transported, Yang Reform does not want Donglu to get news through this place, and Yang Reform does not want Huang Taiji to be clear about the situation in the pass.For nothing else, when you don't want to fight with others, the enemy map is fully open.

"The minister leads the decree!" Sun Chengzong frowned and replied.I wanted to propose that the emperor hand over all maritime affairs to Mao Wenlong, but think about the disputes between Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, and the disputes between Mao Wenlong and the coastal officials. This topic is not suitable to be mentioned for the time being. Okay, this general one-size-fits-all, I am afraid that Yuan Chonghuan and all the officials along the coast will oppose it. Although they may not be able to win the emperor, there have been frictions and gaps among the officials in the frontiers, which has caused the relationship that was repaired to continue to split , it’s not a good thing, I frowned a few times, wanted to talk about this issue a few times, but didn’t say it out, the conflict of interests inside is not that simple.

"Oh, what's the matter with Master Sun?" Yang Reform looked at Sun Chengzong, who was frowning a little, and looked at Sun Chengzong's hesitant expression, and knew that Sun Chengzong had something to say, as his master, he would not frown in general matters.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't know whether to talk about this matter or not." Seeing the emperor's question, Sun Chengzong didn't intend to hide it anymore. It's better to think of a way in advance.

"What's the matter, Master Sun just say it." Yang Reformed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am thinking that the loophole in Songshan Fort is actually rooted in the distribution and jurisdiction of rights. Now, Mao Wenlong is in charge of one, and Yuan Chonghuan is in charge of one, and each has its own water camp. The controlled territory is in charge of affairs, which makes there are loopholes at the junction of the sea. I feel that it would be more beautiful if the sea affairs can be entrusted to one person in charge. In this way, there will be no gaps in the sea..." Sun Chengzong said his idea, But I also feel that this idea is unrealistic. For a long time, Mao Wenlong wanted to draw a boundary with Yuan Chonghuan, and even discussed the location of the boundary. Under Yuan Chonghuan's management, Yuan Chonghuan would not agree to this method of demarcation. His Jinning territory is really too small, and the water camp is not a big deal. How much territory can he manage?Therefore, secretly, the two people are also fighting fiercely. The court also has different opinions on this matter. Of course, most of them support Yuan Chonghuan. If he wants to support Mao Wenlong in governing the sea, then Yuan Chonghuan's territory is pitifully small , then the governor of Liaodong is too watery, and he must be opposed by many people. It is difficult to explain the interests involved. If nothing else, what is the meaning of the word "floating"?

"Let only one person be in charge of the sea affairs? Master Sun, you mean Mao Wenlong?" Yang Reform asked without hesitation. Now in the Liaodong sea, only Mao Wenlong's water camp is the most important thing. Yuan Chonghuan's is really not the most important thing.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is really a good thing to entrust the affairs of the sea to Mao Wenlong alone, but I am afraid that the pressure from the government will be great, and things will not be good. Besides, if the affairs of the sea are entrusted to Mao Wenlong alone, Mao Wenlong will have a big problem again." Suspicion, I have to consider..." Sun Chengzong said in embarrassment.

"Well, don't you give it to Mao Wenlong? Give it to someone else?...Well, wait,...wait, I remembered something,...Yes, yes! How did I forget this? Yes, yes , Yes, it should be so!" Yang Reform, who had been unable to understand his thoughts, finally understood his thoughts at this time.

Since we want to unify the sea power, guard Mao Wenlong, and appease Yuan Chonghuan, the only option is to hand over the sea power to a third party. No, it should be said to form a navy, form a brand new navy, and control the entire Bohai Sea Quan's navy, thinking of this, Yang Reform knew that the time had come, and the time had come to form something like a navy.
