Chapter 546

Yang Reform originally wanted people from the imperial party to come out and sing the double reed, and bring out the matter of sea power, but before they did it, the audience did it themselves, pushing Sun Chengzong out abruptly, which surprised Yang Reform , but thinking about it again, it seems that I have missed some things into account, such as machismo in the Ming Dynasty, no one wants a woman to supervise Liaodong, so it is almost impossible for Qin Liangyu to be the real supervisor of Liaodong, it must be someone else Candidates.

I don't trust Yuan Chonghuan himself, and Mao Wenlong's courtiers don't trust him. They choose Sun Chengzong more and more, which is unexpected and expected.

"The minister leads the order!" Sun Chengzong accepted the appointment calmly.

"Your Majesty is holy..." On the platform, a group of officials happily flattered the emperor. The emperor finally listened to everyone, and many people showed complacent or gratified expressions on their faces.

"However, I still say the same thing. I can't afford to lose this battle. Therefore, my request to Master Sun will be the same as before. You don't need to win, but you are not allowed to lose. You can draw with Donglu , but there must be no major defeat, can Master Sun do it?" Yang Reform asked seriously.

When the ministers heard this, their hearts became tense. Although it seemed that the emperor's requirements were not high, and he didn't even ask for a victory, the consequences of losing would definitely be serious. If he lost, he didn't know what the emperor would do. What kind of fire.

"Return to Your Majesty, I will do my best." Sun Chengzong was still relatively calm.

"Okay! If Master Sun has any other requirements, you can put them forward together. If I can do it, I will definitely agree. I will do my best to win this battle. I must not lose this battle." Yang Reform And asked in extremely serious, even cold words.

All the ministers were stunned again. Looking at the emperor like this, could it be that there will be repetitions when confronting Donglu?Isn't this the great odds of the Ming Dynasty?Could it be that the emperor is not sure about the war?
"I report to Your Majesty, if a minister supervises Liaodong, if he wants to defeat or draw the Eastern captives, he must agree to at least three things." Sun Chengzong calmly raised the conditions. This routine, to be honest, is quite normal. Usually, if the emperor sends a certain supervisor, he will often ask the supervisor to put forward some conditions, and even some special ones may agree to show support for this matter or trust in someone.When Yuan Chonghuan supervised Ji Liao in history, Chongzhen agreed to Yuan Chonghuan's great request, wealth, power, people, and things, all satisfied Yuan Chonghuan.

"Master Sun said, it's those three things." Yang Reform asked again with utmost seriousness.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, first, the ministers and supervisors in Liaodong will gather the elites of all parties. Therefore, Your Majesty needs Xu Chen to have the right to make decisions on the fly, and all the generals in Liaodong must obey the ministers' restraint." Sun Chengzong began to raise conditions.

"There is no problem with this one. I promised earlier that Master Sun will be fully responsible for the war in Liaodong. Since I let Master Sun supervise Liaodong, all the generals involved will naturally be under the control of Master Sun. There is no problem with this. .” Yang Reform immediately agreed.

The ministers were still puzzled, why did Sun Chengzong still say this, the emperor would definitely give him enough rights to let him go to Liaodong to supervise the teachers, and said this is not for nothing?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, to act on the cheap, I ask Your Majesty to take back the Shangfang sword from the hands of the generals involved in the Liao Dynasty..." Sun Chengzong said seriously.

When the officials heard this, they were stunned again. It turned out that Sun Chengzong mentioned this for this matter. Many people immediately remembered that Mao Wenlong seemed to have a Shangfang sword in his hand. If Man Gui also went to Liaodong to support, then Man Gui Gui also seems to have a Shangfang sword in his hand. In this way, the broken place in Liaodong, plus Sun Chengzong must also have a Shangfang sword. This is only three Shangfang swords. By then, there will be Shangfang swords. Who should listen to it? ?If there is a fight at that time, can they use Shang Fang's sword to slash each other?Whoever chops well, who should listen to?Sun Chengzong seemed to be the oldest, and he would definitely not be able to beat Mao Wenlong and Man Gui... Many ministers couldn't help but have this absurd thought in their hearts, and they all looked at the emperor with absurd eyes. These days, this Shangfang sword , There is indeed a suspicion of wholesale, it is indeed a little too much, and it is indeed necessary to take it back.

What these people don't know is that according to history, Yuan Chonghuan should have one in his hand at this time, maybe four Shangfang swords, and there was also an incident where Shangfang's sword chopped Shangfang's sword. It seems absurd, but it actually happened. This impossible thing has become history among Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong and other people holding Shang Fang's sword.

Therefore, Yang Reform paid special attention to this thing, and attached great importance to Shangfang's sword, and never gave Yuan Chonghuan Shangfang's sword.Regarding the consequences of slashing with Shangfang's sword and making mistakes because of Shangfang's sword, Yang Reform was particularly concerned about taking back this time bomb, but he never found a good opportunity. It's not easy, he has been winning battles all the time, if he still asks him rashly for Shangfang's sword, he will inevitably think too much. Today, Sun Chengzong has supervised Liaodong, so he has the right chance to take it back. He took it, Man Gui's It is natural to take it back, and Yuan Chonghuan naturally does not want this thing, which can be regarded as completely cutting off the possibility of that incident in history.

Since there are too many people holding Shangfang swords and there is a suspicion of cutting them against each other, everyone might as well not take them. Only then did Sun Chengzong mention this matter.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Sun Ge's request is very reasonable and necessary. I think that now not only Mao Wenlong has a Shangfang sword bestowed by the late emperor in his hand, but Mandu Dudu also seems to have one in his hand. In addition, His Majesty must give Sun Ge Lao a Shangfang sword. There are three Shangfang swords in Liaodong. This Shangfang sword has the meaning of patrolling and making decisions on behalf of the sky. Who do you listen to? This is indeed a question, Your Majesty, I think that these Shangfang swords should be taken back and given back to Old Sun Ge to show his authority and help Old Sun Ge to make decisions on the fly..." Chief assistant Shi Fenglai was very excited Stand up and speak for the emperor soon, and ask to take back the Shangfang sword in the hands of others.

After hearing this, the others felt that it made sense. This Shangfang sword has indeed been issued a little more in the past few years. I don’t usually think it is, but this is going to be a big war, and it is necessary to gather elites from all sides. This Shangfang sword is also They're all gathered together, and it won't work if you don't deal with them.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that it is indeed necessary to clarify this matter. Shang Fang's sword represents His Majesty's authority and has the power to dispose of His Majesty. It can be said that its power is even higher than that of the supervisor. With the sword back, even if Mr. Sun Ge is a supervisor, it is difficult to dispatch and deal with the generals of all parties, especially the generals who hold Shang Fang's sword..." Other ministers also came out to agree. It's very common, but it's actually a very important thing. What's more, what's more, it's Mao Wenlong's Shangfang sword, which is even more necessary.

The other ministers either remained silent or supported, and this matter was considered a success.

"If that's the case, let's decree to take back the Shangfang sword from the generals involved in the Liao war, and bestow the Shangfang sword to Master Sun to restrain the generals..." Yang Reform took advantage of the situation and said that one of his heart problems could be regarded as eliminated.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers said in unison.

"Master Sun, if there is anything else, I will also agree to it." Yang Reform asked solemnly and boldly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my second request is that I need to have a large number of warships and ships for deployment, whether it is combat support, or transporting soldiers, food, and equipment. All of these require a powerful fleet to drive them, otherwise, the Sancha River landing this time would not be possible no matter what..." Sun Chengzong said.

"What does Master Sun mean?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to your majesty, what I mean is that I need to form a navy, and I need a strong fleet, whether it is to block the sea, prohibit the passage of the eastern captives, or support the landing, support operations, or even go up the river to attack the Eastern Captives, or transporting tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to and from the sea, such as equipment, food, ammunition, and wounded, all of these need a strong fleet to support them. Without a large and powerful fleet, it is impossible for the minister to cross the sea. Landing on the Sancha River, without strong warships as backing and cover, the landing on the Sancha River can only be said to let the soldiers die. Only the officers and soldiers can defeat the Eastern Captives without any worries. , I need to form a navy, I need a powerful fleet, and I have full authority to take charge of all matters at sea..." Sun Chengzong put forward his second request.

"Wow..." All the ministers began to discuss, this request is a bit special!However, it also seems reasonable. It is impossible to transport tens of thousands of horses across the sea and shore without a ship.Last year in the Battle of Zhenjiang Fort, it was because of the battleships that suddenly went up, and the final word was reached. Those who won the battle did not have powerful warships. It is estimated that the morale of the officers and soldiers was much lower. Trembling, it is not so difficult to win.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Mr. Sun Ge, but Mr. Sun Ge wants to learn from last year's battle of Zhenjiang Fort, to go up the river with a warship? To assist in the battle? To make a final decision?" Shi Fenglai came out and asked.

"...Master Sun?" Yang Reform asked Sun Chengzong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the staff department does have this plan, and I think so too. If possible, I would like to use warships to go upstream and attack the Eastern captives. These few months happen to be the rainy season of the Sancha River, and the river is abundant. If possible, I will send warships upstream, but the premise is that I need to have warships and navy..." Sun Chengzong explained.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister feels that this matter is very reasonable. There must be a strong fleet for Sun Ge to drive. Thinking about the battle of Zhenjiang Fort last year, didn't it rely on the power of the battleship? Did you win the battle?" Shi Fenglai immediately supported the emperor.

"I would like to report to Your Majesty, I think this should be the case. Since Your Majesty sent Mr. Sun Ge to supervise Liaodong, it is natural that there must be a reliable naval fleet for Mr. Sun Ge to drive. Otherwise, why would Mr. Sun Ge transport tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?" Cross the sea?" People from the imperial party began to stand up and speak for Sun Chengzong.

Han Yu is still confused, what is the emperor doing for?Today's matter is in a cloud of fog, he can't see clearly, how about accepting Shangfang's sword?But it's not like this?It is normal for the emperor to send Sun Chengzong as a supervisor, and it is expected by everyone, and there is no need to do so!Could it be because of this fleet?But Sun Chengzong really needed a fleet, otherwise, not to mention fighting, he couldn't even transport soldiers and horses, so how could he win?Now Daming believes in two things. The first is cannons, especially Hongyi cannons, and the second is warships. Daming now bullies Donglu without a ship, and relies on the cannons on the ship to fight Donglu... Fleet, warship?Navy?maritime……?
Han Yu looked at the emperor, thinking to himself, and gradually, he seemed to have some clues, but he could only keep this matter in his heart. To be honest, even though Han Yu was playing the role of an anti-imperialist party, Han Yu also had some clues. I don't want to take it too seriously. The emperor has his own plans for the emperor and needs his role as an anti-imperialist party. That's because he doesn't want the imperial party to dominate. He just wants to check and balance the power in the court. The emperor doesn't want to restrain him from doing things himself. If I get the wrong direction, if I turn the "anti-imperialist party" into a handicap to the emperor, then I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for long. The emperor wants to change the cabinet now, it's really easy, there are many people with political achievements who can Those who entered the cabinet, let alone this matter, seemed to have no objection at all. Han Yu looked at the emperor, made up his mind, and pretended not to know.

Many ministers stood up in favor of it. After all, without a navy and a powerful fleet, no matter what, this battle would not be possible. This is a very reasonable request.

"Since this is the case, then I will accept Master Sun's request. Master Sun will supervise Ji Liao, and also lead the military affairs of Deng, Lai, and Tianjin to form the Beiyang Navy for driving. For convenience, I will allow Master Sun to take charge of everything at sea. Matters..." Yang Reform took advantage of the situation and said that the official position given to Sun Chengzong, that is, the official position given to Yuan Chonghuan by Chongzhen in history, is almost exactly the same. Of course, except for the formation of the Beiyang Navy, although there is no mention of forming a navy in history, but, Presumably this is also Yuan Chonghuan's inherent rights. Supervisor Ji Liao, who is also the leader of the military affairs of Tianjin, Lai, and Tianjin, can be regarded as the king of Bohai Sea. The navy is also one of the rights, but it is not deliberately mentioned as it is today. It's not like raising the status of the navy to such a high level like today.

Yang Reform sighed secretly. The Beiyang Navy has finally been released. Although it is not a serious and well-known navy, it will not withdraw after this establishment. After leaving Ryukyu, he went to Japan. When the gold and silver were brought back from Japan, whoever dared to mention the withdrawal of the navy to him, he would ask him to accompany the silver dug from Japan every year, to see who could afford it.After a few more years, no matter in terms of reputation or the actual needs of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for me to do anything to the navy.

"The minister leads the decree!" Sun Chengzong still calmly agreed.

Beiyang navy?In charge of all matters at sea, this stuff, isn't the emperor's wording a bit inaccurate? ...Many ministers have not yet reacted, and Sun Chengzong is close to receiving the order.

"Okay! If Master Sun has any other requirements, you can also put them forward together, and I will agree." Yang Reform said happily, without waiting for the ministers to think about it, Yang Reform then asked Sun Chengzong to say the third request, which is considered to be the third request. The second request of Sun Chengzong was confirmed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the third requirement is nothing more than the need for sufficient money and food. Whether it is to form a navy, mobilize troops, or fight, there is no need for a huge amount of money and food to support it. Therefore, the minister needs to have sufficient money and food... "Sun Chengzong immediately replied "lightly".

"Oh, it's easy to say. I will fully support Master Sun. I will give you as much money and food as you want, firearms, ordnance, cannons, warships, personnel, food, medical care, I will fully support. As long as Master Sun can win the battle, in addition, the Ministry of Household We must also strongly support Master Sun..." Yang Reform said happily.At any rate, the Beiyang navy has settled down. Although there is some sneaky meaning in it, it is the most important step. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when it "has hated" sea power, it can only be so sneaky. Let’s talk about the facts, and as for being aboveboard, Yang Reform doesn’t want to argue all day long.

"I obey the order!" Bi Ziyan saw that the emperor mentioned the household department, and immediately stood up and agreed. The emperor does not need to say more about this matter. This year the household department has a lot of money, and Sun Chengzong is the core of the imperial party. In that regard, the Ministry of Finance must give full support!

"Okay! Then it's settled like this!" Yang Reform spoke quickly, and immediately settled the matter.

A group of ministers were about to talk, but found that there seemed to be nothing to say, and everything was reasonable.

[Wordly, regarding the issue of carriages, the biggest difference between a four-wheeled carriage and a two-wheeled carriage is the bogie, and there has been no steering structure in ancient China, so there are very few four-wheeled carriages, which are not very practical, and there are only a few places Use, there is no large area of ​​popularity. 】

[About the problem of roads, many book friends think that four-wheeled carriages may not be suitable for Chinese roads. In fact, horse-drawn carriages have always played a very important role in ancient Chinese transportation. In fact, important counties and counties can use horse-drawn carriages, such as the Ming Dynasty The courier station was equipped with horse-drawn carriages. It existed for a long time in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been engaged in the work of transporting materials, such as transporting grain to the border. It was regarded as an official logistics system, but it was later abandoned.In addition to water transportation, horse-drawn carriages and land transportation are also an important link in the folk transport of goods from south to north. It is impossible for all goods to be carried by people. Horse teams are also found in remote places where horse-drawn carriages are inconvenient. Therefore, in fact, as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, Post roads and official roads are not trails. Most of them can be walked by horse-drawn carriage. Of course, those who can walk on two wheels may not be able to walk on four-wheels. After all, two-wheeled carriages are more adaptable than four-wheeled carriages, but I think , as long as you can travel to most places, or cover an important part of the area, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to cover the entire Ming Dynasty 100%, and you don’t need to replace the two-wheeled carriages 100%. There is no road, but it does not hinder the use of cars in other places. With cars, it does not prevent people from using tricycles. 】
