Chapter 541 The pressure is coming
Fan Wencheng's words reassured the anxious Huang Taiji a lot.

"That is to say, we can't follow Emperor Ming's circle now, he has his own plans, and we, Dajin, should have our own plans..." Huang Taiji seemed to be speaking to Fan Wencheng, and also seemed to be talking to himself language.

Fan Wencheng opened his mouth several times, trying to pick up the quarrel, but he didn't. Huang Taiji's eyes were obviously not on him, but on the ground not far away, on the land further away, and Songshan Fort.

"...Xiandou! It seems that it is impossible to surround Songshan Fort like this all the time. We have to put some pressure on Songshan Fort, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will forget this place." Huang Taiji seemed to have made up his mind. Said.

"Zha..." Fan Wencheng replied, thinking in his heart, it seems that the city must be attacked, and the attack will have to face the rain of hand grenades, and it is necessary to dig a hole, Fan Wencheng also looked at himself Under his feet, he stepped on it, and the soil began to soften. It was not as cold as before, and he was able to dig, but he could dig pits and holes... This kind of tough battle has never been Daikin's specialty. Songshan Fort is a tough nut to crack!Even if you really gnaw it down, how much can you gain?How many casualties?Fan Wencheng's thoughts drifted further and further away.

……

Forbidden City.

Yang Reform is grading homework. There are too many things to do, and there are more and more homework. Yang Reform has to spend more time every day to correct these homework. Reform feels that there are more and more things to do every day, and less and less free time.

After grading the homework, and correcting several playbooks, Yang Huami suddenly found an interesting playbook.

This memorandum is about a censor who impeached his son-in-law Qi Zanyuan, impeached him for oppressing and beating the common people, and asked for severe punishment.It is said that the reason for beating the common people was to rob the common people of some "patent". The common people refused to sell it, but the son-in-law had to buy it. Later, the talks collapsed, and later, the common people were beaten up. I can't sleep anymore, this censor is very loyal to his duty, and he firmly believes that it is the son-in-law Qi Zanyuan who did it.

patent?This word has not appeared in Yang Reform's mind for a long time. He suddenly heard the word "patent" in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Reform was still not used to it. When he remembered, there was indeed such a patent office, which he got last year.

"Big companion..." Yang Reform shouted.

"The servant is here..." Wang Chengen hurried in and agreed.

"Do you know about the beating of son-in-law Qi Zanyuan?" Yang Reform asked.

"...Your Majesty, I know a little bit about this, but..." Wang Chengen replied, this matter is related to the Jinyiwei, and the Patent Office is hung under the Jinyiwei.

"Oh, what's going on? Tell me." Yang Reform said with some interest.

"Return to Your Majesty, the cause of the matter is probably because of a certain patent..." Wang Chengen began to say.

"Wait, is it for that patent?" Yang Reform immediately interrupted. Since the patent is involved, it must be something new, and Yang Reform is interested in it. If it is worth investing in, Yang Reform would not mind intervening.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this patent seems to be a patent for briquettes. A coal worker made a kind of briquettes... It seems to be called honeycomb briquettes. It is just a few holes in the middle of the briquettes, which are similar to honeycombs. It looks like..., I heard that this kind of briquettes is burned, the fire is bigger, it is much cheaper than burning briquettes, and it is much cleaner, I heard that many people use this kind of briquettes..." Wang Chengen began to recall.

"Honeycomb coal?..." Yang Reform didn't come to his senses for a long time. After Wang Chengen talked for a long time, Yang Reform finally came to his senses. Wang Chengen was talking about honeycomb coal.Yang Reform asked in surprise.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, it's called honeycomb coal." Wang Chengen said affirmatively.

"Honeycomb coal..." Yang Reform stood up in surprise, honeycomb was invented?This is really a bit surprising. Is this the explosion of technology?

"The conflict between the son-in-law and that coal worker was caused by this patent?" Yang Reform asked in surprise.

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, it is said that because the briquette is cheap, clean, and flammable, the number of people who burn it gradually increased. The son-in-law wanted to buy the coal worker's patent for the briquette. I heard that the price was 1000 taels of silver, but the coal worker He still refused to sell, and then the coal worker was beaten up, and the censor probably heard about it..." Wang Chengen explained, in fact, it was their Patent Office, Jin Yiwei, who was fighting with the son-in-law, The son-in-law is a relative of the emperor, and the coal worker holds a patent. If the two parties fight, it can be regarded as flooding into the Dragon King Temple. This matter must be handed over to the emperor, otherwise, the patent office will be closed If you lose your face and don't get back on the field, you won't be able to live in the future.

"Oh, that's right! In this case, you send someone to the son-in-law's mansion and find him immediately, and I will ask him face to face..." Yang Reform said immediately.

"Your servant obeys! Let's go..." Wang Chengen agreed.

"By the way, besides, get some honeycomb briquettes. I want to see what's going on. It's best to get a stove that burns briquettes." Pay attention, I managed to stimulate the enthusiasm of the craftsmen to create, and I have just achieved some results. If I was slapped in the face casually like this, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Chengen replied again.

"By the way, this matter is still related to the Patent Office. Who is in charge of the Patent Office now? Also call." Yang Reform thought for a while, and then said, judging from this matter, the Patent Office is not strong enough. It is necessary to strengthen the power of the Patent Office.

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Chengen replied again.

Wang Chengen went to preach the decree.

On the other hand, Yang Reform stepped up to revise the playbook, trying to complete the revision as soon as possible, and then deal with this "patent" incident. This incident is somewhat representative.

After a while, Wang Chengen came back to report.

"Your Majesty, I got the briquettes, but they are very dirty..." Wang Chengen reported embarrassingly. The emperor wanted to see the briquettes. It's indecent.

"Oh, I see, when this book is finished..." Yang Reform rushed to work for a while, and had already finished grading and correcting the few remaining homework, and after grading the last one, he came out to the Qing Palace.

Outside the Qing Palace, gather these little eunuchs around something.

Yang Reform saw it at a glance. This is indeed briquette. It looks the same as the briquette of later generations, except that the holes of the honeycomb are somewhat different from those of later generations. It’s not very full. How should I say this? It should be made by manpower, which is very different from the mechanism.

"Is this the briquette?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is briquette. Speaking of which, although a few holes were drilled in the middle of the coal balls, the firepower of this stove is very different just because of this drilling. Before burning coal balls, the inside could not be burned cleanly. Now this At first glance, the inside of the briquettes was basically burnt out, so the firepower is strong, it is clean, and there is no smoke. Nowadays, many people use this..." Wang Chengen explained in a hurry.

"Oh, I know this. Is there a stove? I didn't see a stove!" Yang Reform looked at the briquettes for a while, and asked again. There was only coal here, but he didn't see a stove.Wang Chengen was about to answer, but a young eunuch came beside him, very hurried.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Liaodong!" A young eunuch hurriedly reported.

"Liaodong? What's the matter?" Yang Reform asked quickly. Isn't Liaodong very peaceful now?Why is there an urgent report all of a sudden?
"Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Ge said that the Eastern Captives attacked the city wantonly!" The little eunuch said hastily.

"Siege? Finally started to attack Songshan Fort?" Yang Reform murmured to himself. When he heard about the siege, his first reaction was to attack Songshan Fort with wild boar skin.

"Let's go to the platform." Yang Reform immediately went to the platform. After four months, the wild boar skin finally couldn't hold back anymore and was finally about to attack the city.

platform.

Sun Chengzong had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the emperor coming, he immediately saluted. The atmosphere on the platform was suddenly more tense than usual.

"How, Master Sun?" Yang Reform asked directly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the latest news is that Donglu is attacking the city wantonly. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the grenade rang all night. According to the nearby Tanma, Donglu's method of attacking the city is exactly the same as Zhenjiang Fort. It is also digging a pit... "Sun Chengzong explained.

"Oh, that's it! It seems that Donglu has also come to his senses, and now he may have seen something..." Yang Reform said after hearing Sun Chengzong's words.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I'm afraid Donglu has seen something, and he is forcing me to send troops." Sun Chengzong said.

"Hehe, yes! It's time to send troops to rescue!" Yang Reform said with a smile. For a long time, Yang Reform has been playing wild boar's skin, asking Yuan Chonghuan to implement the strategy of tens of thousands of people probing horses, making Wild Boar think that This is reinforcements, who have been fighting Yuan Chonghuan. In fact, Yang Reform is stepping up his training to buy time for himself.And the wild boar skin is probably worried about the loss of the siege, and has not forced the siege, but the death siege, which made Songshan Castle a lot easier. However, after fighting with Yuan Chonghuan for several months, I guess, I also saw the problem. So, now the siege begins.

"Your Majesty, yes! Donglu probably knew something, so he rushed to attack the city. Presumably, he was forcing me to send troops. Yuan Ziru's place may not last long." Sun Chengzong said, Yuan Chonghuan fought against Donglu. It was okay to fight scouts, but if Yuan Chonghuan were to go to Songshan Fort, it would definitely be to deliver food, so Yuan Chonghuan had always been fighting scouts, and he was never the main force.

"Hmm..." Yang Reform hummed. He pretended for a few months and dragged Donglu for a few months. It was not bad. He bought a lot of time for the white soldiers, which was enough. Now that the Tartars know something, time has passed, and it is impossible to get it back. However, since the Tartars have discovered their intentions, then they have to step up their actions.

"Master Sun, how long will it take for Lei Dayong to come back?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, you will be able to arrive in Tianjin in about the middle of the month." Sun Chengzong replied.

"Middle! It's only been a few days, and this time just happened to catch up." Yang Reform said, the wild boar skin suddenly launched an attack at this point in time, rushing to attack Songshan Fort, which is a good time, although Songshan Fort is relatively Dangerous, but in some things, it is more beneficial to act on your own.

Lei Dayong's fleet is about to arrive in Tianjin. That is to say, the day when the Northern Fleet, or the Northern Navy will be established, has also arrived. Now there is a wild boar rushing to attack Songshan Fort. This is even more for the unification of maritime affairs The foundation has been laid. Since Songshan Fort is to be rescued and a second battlefield is to be opened up, this cross-sea landing is a must. Tens of thousands of people cross the sea. It was natural, and with the pressure of the Eastern Captives' rush to attack, I could achieve my goal as long as I exerted a little influence. Once the navy was built, there was no need to disband it.

Yang Reform thought for a while, and he was not worried about Songshan Fort at all. Instead, he was in a good mood. To be honest, Yang Reform was not very worried about Songshan Fort. Songshan Fort was defended by 3000 people. The Tartars wanted to attack it with their bows and arrows?The difficulty is not so great. Songshan Fort is a regular brick city guard, and the outside is covered with bricks, which is not comparable to Zhenjiang Fort.If you really want to fill in with human life, how much do you have to fill in?Five thousand or ten thousand?Can Tartar afford it?Now, the reason for the rush was not to force him to rescue him. Well, this opportunity was something he could not have wished for. Yang Reform figured it out, and his expression relaxed.That being said, it's a good thing.

"Your Majesty, do you want Yuan Ziru to be more active? Do more actions?" Sun Chengzong knew what the emperor wanted to do. When he heard the emperor said that the time was just in time, he understood what the emperor meant. After thinking about it, he also suggested that Yuan Chonghuan Be more active, just make things bigger, send more urgent reports, and let the courtiers look at Liaodong more. If the courtiers are forced by the Eastern captives, they will not be too opposed to the emperor's right to seize the sea. After all, the East Captive is a serious problem.

"Well, then there is Master Laosun. In addition, I also sent a letter to Mao Wenlong, saying that Songshan Fort is tight, let him step up the offensive, and put more pressure on Donglu. Of course, you must pay attention to protecting yourself..." Yang Reform Said.

"I obey the order!" Sun Chengzong said.

"Let those bounty hunters work harder, now it's the critical moment, and it's time to contribute." Yang Reform made another arrangement.

"I obey the order!" Sun Chengzong agreed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that I should prepare a batch of ships and troops on Juehua Island in advance. In case Songshan Fort can't resist, I can let these people go ashore immediately to attract Donglu's attention. ..." Sun Chengzong suggested.

"Well, let Master Sun decide what to do with this matter. It's the end of June, and there are still one or two months left. In these two months, Songshan Fort still needs to be held. It's right to make more preparations. Yang Reform nodded and agreed to Sun Chengzong's proposal.Now, it is just a race for time. It will take some time to operate the sea power here. It is better for the white soldiers to have more time to train. It is best to try to buy some time.

"I obey the order!" Sun Chengzong agreed again.

"How's Madam Qin doing?" Yang Reform asked again.Yang Reform has always been very concerned about this trump card for dealing with wild boar skin, and often asks, now it's time to play.

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is going according to plan, because of the live ammunition practice regardless of the cost, so the progress is quite fast, and we have initially gained the strength to fight Donglu." Sun Chengzong replied again.

"Oh, that's good. Tell Mrs. Qin that Donglu is rushing to attack Songshan Fort. The time to go to the battlefield may be advanced. Let Mrs. Qin prepare as much as possible. I ask for an order. You must be able to go to the battlefield." Yang Reform said.

"I obey the order!" Sun Chengzong agreed again.

"Are there enough ships across the sea?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not need to worry about the ships crossing the sea. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, you can organize enough fleets at any time. With Your Majesty's reputation and reputation, it is not difficult at all." Sun Chengzong was not worried about this matter. , Immediately reassured, not to mention the ships in the hands of the emperor himself, the ships in the water camp may be close to fighting, but it is no problem to transport people, and there are many merchant ships, except for many sea merchants who rely on the emperor, There are many sea merchants who are going to join the emperor. It is not a big problem to requisition these ships. Besides, the emperor now gives [-]% subsidies to all shipbuilders. Based on this, no one dares not to buy the emperor's account. Therefore, It is really no problem to requisition enough ships to transport the landing officers and troops, even if it is transported in one go, it is not impossible.

"Well, that's good. As for the ships, we should keep a certain number at all times. If the situation in Songshan Castle changes, there must be enough ships to transport people across the sea." Yang Reform added.

"I obey the order!" Sun Chengzong said again.

"Well, that's good! Now, we are almost ready, it depends on Songshan Fort, it's best to be able to resist June." Yang Reform said again.

Sun Chengzong didn't say anything.It is already May now, and it is only one month away from the originally planned June. Generally speaking, all the arrangements for this year are going well, and basically follow the design of the staff department. Donglu suddenly became abnormal this time. , suddenly rushed to attack Songshan Fort, although it was a bit unexpected, but it did not affect the overall situation. The white soldiers have been training with live ammunition for several months, and they have been getting used to the new army for a while, and they are ready to go to the battlefield. Even if you go to the battlefield now, you may not necessarily suffer a disadvantage.

"Your Majesty, do you want to call back Man Gui and Zhao Shaojiao? To deal with the Mongols, the new army is enough." Sun Chengzong asked again.

"Well, that's enough for now. I still have to be on guard against the Mongols. I heard that the Mongols have become a little restless recently." Yang Reform thought for a while and said, since the implementation of various tickets in the horse market, those who are not from the Imperial Association The Mongolian tribes began to be restless, suspected of collusion, and seemed to be ready to move. Yang Reform did not mind cleaning up the Mongols. Those useless firewood, the Ming Dynasty army beat them, very psychological advantage, even if they do not do anything, Yang Reform I also intend to find an excuse to mobilize them. Wouldn't it be a waste not to fight with so many imperial alliance troops?
