Chapter 548: The Navy

Yang Jing originally wanted the people of the Imperial Party to come out and play a double act and bring out the Haiquan matter, but before he could do it, the audience took action by themselves and pushed Sun Chengzong out, which surprised Yang Jing a little. But thinking about it again, it seemed that he had less calculations in it, such as the machoism of the Ming Dynasty. No one wanted women to supervise Liaodong, so it was almost impossible for Qin Liangyu to be a real supervisor of Liaodong, and he would definitely be the other candidate.

It was unexpected and unexpected that Yuan Chonghuan was not trusted, and Mao Wenlong's court officials did not trust.

"I received the order!" Sun Chengzong calmly accepted the appointment.

"Your Majesty's wise..." On the platform, a group of ministers were happy to flatter the emperor. The emperor finally heard about this matter, and many people showed a look of pride or comfort on their faces.

"However, I still say that I can't afford to lose this battle, so my requirements for Master Sun will be the same as before. I can't win, but I'm not allowed to lose. I can tie the Donglu. However, there must be no major defeat. Can Master Sun do it?" Yang Jing asked seriously.

When the ministers heard this, they felt nervous. Although the emperor seemed to have low requirements and did not even ask for a win, the consequences of losing must be very serious. If he loses, he doesn't know what kind of fire the emperor will make.

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

"Okay! Master Sun has any other requirements, and you can put forward it together. If I can do what I can, I will definitely agree. I will do my best to win this battle and never lose this battle." Yang Jing asked with extremely serious and even cold words.

The ministers were suffocated again. Seeing the emperor like this, could there be any recurrence in the battle with the Donglu? Isn’t this the Ming Dynasty so likely to win? Could it be that the emperor is not sure about the war?

"Report to Your Majesty, if you are in charge of Liaodong, if you want to defeat or force the Eastern Captains, you must have at least three things to agree to me." Sun Chengzong calmly put forward the conditions. To be honest, this routine is normal. In the past, if the emperor sent a certain supervisor, he would often ask the supervisor to make some conditions, and even special ones might agree to it to show support for this matter or trust in someone. When Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of Ji Liao in history, Chongzhen agreed to Yuan Chonghuan's great request, wealth, power, people, and things, all satisfy Yuan Chonghuan.

"Master Sun said that these three things were." Yang Jie asked seriously again.

"Report to Your Majesty, first, I will supervise Liaodong and gather elite troops from all sides. Therefore, Your Majesty needs to give me the right to make decisions before the opportunity, and the generals from all sides of Liaodong must obey me." Sun Chengzong began to put forward the conditions.

"There is no problem with this. I have agreed to let Master Sun be fully responsible for the war in Liaodong. Since I have asked Master Sun to supervise Liaodong, all the generals involved will naturally be controlled by Master Sun. There is no problem with this." Yang Jie agreed immediately.

The ministers were still wondering why Sun Chengzong still said this? The emperor asked him to go to Liaodong to supervise the army and would definitely give him enough rights. He also said that this was not in vain?

"Report to Your Majesty, for the sake of being a good deal, I ask Your Majesty to take back the Shangfang sword from the hands of the generals involved in Liao..." Sun Chengzong said seriously.

When the ministers 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 him, then Man Gui seemed to have a Shangfang sword in his hand. In this way, in the broken place in Liaodong, Sun Chengzong must have a Shangfang sword. There are only three Shangfang swords. At that time, there will be Shangfang swords. Who should I listen to? If it fights, can I use Shangfang swords to cut each other against each other? Whoever cuts it is powerful? Sun Chengzong seems the oldest, and he will definitely not be able to beat Mao Wenlong and Man Gui's... Many ministers couldn't help but have this ridiculous idea in their hearts, and they looked at the emperor with a bit absurd look. Nowadays, this Shangfang sword is indeed suspected of wholesale, and it is indeed a bit more released, and it is necessary to take it back.

What these people don’t know is that if it were based on history, Yuan Chonghuan should have one in his hand at this time. Perhaps there should be four Shangfang swords, and the Shangfang sword also happened. Although this incident seemed ridiculous, it really happened. This originally impossible thing became history among Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong and other people holding Shangfang swords.

Therefore, Yang Jing paid special attention to this thing. He attached great importance to Shangfang Sword and never gave Yuan Chonghuan Shangfang Sword. Regarding the consequences of using Shangfang Sword to mislead the matter because of Shangfang Sword, Yang Jing had a special string in his mind and had been considering taking back the time bomb. However, he had never found a good opportunity. Mao Wenlong was not easy to do. He kept winning battles. If he still rashly asked him to Shangfang Sword, he would inevitably think more. Today, Sun Chengzong was in charge of Liaodong, and there was a suitable opportunity to take back. After he took over, Man Gui naturally wanted to take back. Yuan Chonghuan naturally did not want this thing, which completely cut off the possibility of that happening in history.

Since there are too many people who have taken Shangfang's sword and are suspected of being cut, then it might be better if everyone doesn't take it. If you want to take it, you can only take it alone. Therefore, Yang Jie wanted to take back these Shangfang's swords, which was why there was a double act and Sun Chengzong mentioned this.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Sun Ge Lao's request is very reasonable and necessary. I think not only does Mao Wenlong have a Shangfang sword given by the late emperor, but also a Manchu Governor seems to have one in his hand. Once Your Majesty decides that Mr. Manchu Governor will definitely give Mr. Sun Ge Lao a Shangfang sword. There are three Shangfang swords in Liaodong. This Shangfang sword means patrolling the Heavenly Palace and making decisions in the sky. At that time, who will the three Shangfang swords listen to? This is indeed a problem. Your Majesty, I think that these Shangfang swords should be taken back and given Sun Ge Lao a Shangfang sword again to demonstrate authority and help Mr. Sun Ge Lao make decisions at the moment..." The chief assistant Shi Fenglai soon stood up for the emperor and demanded that the Shangfang swords be taken back by others.

After hearing this, everyone else felt that it was reasonable. This Shangfang Sword has indeed been released a little more in recent years. I don’t think so yet, but if you want to fight, you have to gather elite troops from all sides. This Shangfang Sword has gathered together, and it is not possible not to deal with it.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to sort out this matter. The Shangfang Sword represents the authority of Your Majesty and has the power to deal with it on behalf of Your Majesty. Its power can be said that even if the Shangfang Sword is not taken back, even if Mr. Sun Ge, as the Supervisor, would be difficult to dispatch and deal with generals from all sides, especially those who hold Shangfang Sword..." Other ministers also agreed. This matter is indeed a seemingly ordinary but very important thing, not to mention that he was taking Mao Wenlong's Shangfang Sword, which is even more necessary.

Other ministers either did not speak out or supported it, and this matter was done.

"Since that's the case, I will issue an order to take back the Shangfang sword from the generals involved in the Liao war and give Master Sun the Shangfang sword to control all generals..." Yang Jingwei said with the flow, and a piece of heart disease was eliminated.

"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers said unanimously.

"Master Sun, I agree to what else I have to do." Yang Jingwei asked seriously and with some heroic questions.

"Report to Your Majesty, my second requirement is that if I rescue Songshan Fort or log in to Sancha River, I need a large number of warships and ships for dispatch. Whether it is combat support, or transporting soldiers, food, equipment, etc., none of them need a powerful fleet for driving. Otherwise, the Sancha River login will not be completed anyway..." Sun Chengzong said.

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

"When you go back to your majesty, I mean, I need a powerful fleet. Whether it is at sea, it is forbidden to connect with the East Gate, or support landings, support operations, or even attack the East Gate along the river, or transport tens of thousands of troops to and from the sea, such as equipment, food, ammunition, and wounded people. All of these need a powerful fleet to support. If there is no large and powerful fleet, I will not be able to cross the sea to attack. If I land on Sancha River without strong warships as backing and covering, then the landing on Sancha River can only be said to let the soldiers die. Only the official army can defeat the East Gate without worries. Therefore, I need to form a navy, I need a powerful fleet, and fully in charge of all matters at sea..." Sun Chengzong put forward his second requirement.

"Wow..." The ministers talked about it. This requirement was a bit special! However, it seemed very reasonable. It was impossible to transport tens of thousands of people across the sea and go ashore without a ship. Last year, the Zhenjiang Fort Battle suddenly went up with a warship and made a final decision. There were no powerful warships. It was estimated that the morale of the government troops would be much lower, and there were no warships to protect the situation behind. It was estimated that the government troops would tremble when they fought. It was not ordinary difficult to win.

"Report to Your Majesty, I want to ask Mr. Sun Ge Lao, did Mr. Sun Ge Lao want to learn from the Battle of Zhenjiang Fort last year, and use warships to go up the river to assist in the battle? Then he will make a final decision?" Shi Feng came out and asked.

"…Master Sun?" Yang Jie asked Sun Chengzong.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the General Staff does have this plan, and I think so too. If possible, I want to use warships to go upstream and attack the Donglu. These months happened to be the rainy season of Sancha River again, and the river water was sufficient. If possible, I will send warships to go upstream. However, the premise is that I need warships and navy..." Sun Chengzong explained.

"Report to Your Majesty, since that's the case, I think this matter makes a lot of sense. There must be a powerful fleet for Sun Ge Lao to expedite. I think the battle at Zhenjiang Fort last year was won by the power of warships?" Shi Fenglai immediately supported the emperor.

"I believe that this should be the case. Since Your Majesty has sent Mr. Sun to supervise Liaodong, there must naturally be a reliable naval fleet for Mr. Sun to drive him. Otherwise, why would Mr. Sun transport tens of thousands of troops across the sea?" The people of the Imperial Party began to stand up and speak for Sun Chengzong.

Han Du was still confused. What was the emperor's purpose? Today's incident was in vague. He couldn't see clearly. If he wanted to collect Shangfang's sword, it wouldn't be like this? It was normal for the emperor to send Sun Chengzong to supervise his army. It was considered to be the result of everyone's expectations, and there was no need to do this! Could it be for this fleet? But Sun Chengzong really needed a fleet, otherwise, if he didn't even want to transport troops, he would not even be able to transport troops out. How could he talk about winning? Now the Ming Dynasty believes in two things: the first is cannons, especially the red and barbarian cannons, and the second is warships. The Ming Dynasty now bullies the Donglu without ships, and relies on the cannons on the ship to attack the Donglu..., fleet, warship? Navy? At sea...?

Han Yu looked at the emperor and thought about it secretly. Gradually, he seemed to have some clues, but he could only keep this matter in his heart. To be honest, although Han Yu was a role as an anti-imperialist party, Han Yu didn't want to be too serious. The emperor had his own plans and needed his role as an anti-imperialist party. That was because he didn't want the imperial party to dominate the power of the court. The emperor did not want to restrain him from doing things himself. If he got the wrong direction and turned the "anti-imperialist party" into a constraining the emperor, he probably wouldn't have been doing it for long. The emperor now wants to change his cabinet, which is really easy. Many people with political achievements can enter the cabinet, and not to mention that this matter seems to be impossible. Han Yu looked at the emperor, took a moment of thought, and pretended not to know.

Many ministers stood up to agree. After all, without a navy or a powerful fleet, this battle could not be fought anyway. This is a very reasonable requirement.

"Since that's the case, I will allow Master Sun to supervise Ji Liao, and lead the military affairs of Deng, Lai and Tianjin, and form the Beiyang Navy to facilitate the conduct. For the sake of convenience, I promise Master Sun to be in charge of all matters at sea..." Yang Jing said with the situation. The official position given to Sun Chengzong, which was the official position given to Yuan Chonghuan by Chongzhen in history, was almost exactly the same. Of course, in addition to the establishment of the Beiyang Navy, although there was no mention of the establishment of the Navy in history, it must be Yuan Chonghuan's inherent right. Supervising the military affairs of Ji Liao, and also lead the military affairs of Deng, Lai and Tianjin can be regarded as the King of Bohai. The navy is also one of the rights of it. It is just not like I proposed it so deliberately today, nor is it like I am raising the status of the navy so high today.

Yang Jie sighed inwardly. The Beiyang Navy was finally released. Although it was not a serious and justified navy, it would not retreat again after the establishment. After the Donglu, he immediately went to Ryukyu, packed up Ryukyu and then went to the ***. When he got back gold and silver from ***, whoever dared to ask him to withdraw the navy would ask him to accompany the silver dug from *** every year, and it would be up to who could afford it. In a few years, no matter whether it was from the reputation or the actual needs of the Ming Dynasty, he would never be able to do anything to the navy.

"I received the order!" Sun Chengzong still agreed calmly.

Beiyang Navy? The general manager of all matters at sea. Is the emperor's words a little inaccurate?... Many ministers have not yet reacted, and Sun Chengzong is almost obeying the order.

"Okay! Then Master Sun can also put forward any other requirements together, and I will take the lead." Yang Jing said happily. Without waiting for the ministers to think about it, Yang Jing continued to ask Sun Chengzong to say the third requirement, which was to confirm Sun Chengzong's second requirement.

"Report to Your Majesty, the third requirement is to require enough money and food. Whether it is to form a navy, call for troops, or fight, all of them need huge amounts of money and food support. Therefore, I need enough money and food..." Sun Chengzong immediately replied "indifferently".

"Oh, this is easy to say. I will fully support Master Sun. I will give as much money and grain as possible, firearms, weapons, weapons, cannons, warships, personnel, food and grass, medical care. I will fully support him. As long as Master Sun can win, the Ministry of Revenue will also strongly support Master Sun..." Yang Jing said happily. The Beiyang Navy was determined at least. Although there was a little sneaky meaning in it, it was at least the most important step. In the late Ming Dynasty, which "hatred" the maritime power, I could only do it secretly, and make it happen as soon as it was a fact. As for the openness, Yang Jing did not want to talk all day long.

"I obey the order!" Bi Ziyan immediately stood up to accept this matter when he saw the emperor mentioning the Ministry of Revenue. There is no need for the emperor to say more about this matter. The Ministry of Revenue has a lot of money this year, and Sun Chengzong is the core of the imperial party. No matter from that aspect, the Ministry of Revenue must fully support it!

"Okay! Then let's make a decision like this!" Yang Guifei said quickly and immediately decided on the matter.

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

[To talk about the issue of carriages, the biggest difference between a four-wheeled carriage and a two-wheeled carriage is the bogie. In ancient China, there was no steering structure, so four-wheeled carriages are rare and not very practical. They are only used in very few places and have not been popularized on a large scale.]

[About the road issue, many book friends think that four-wheeled carriages may not be suitable for Chinese roads. In fact, in ancient China, horse-drawn carriages have always been a very important role. Important prefectures and counties can actually be connected to horse-drawn carriages. For example, the delivery station in the Ming Dynasty was equipped with horse-drawn carriages. They existed for a long time in the Ming Dynasty and have been engaged in the work of transporting materials, such as transporting grain to the border, which is considered 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. It is impossible for all goods to be carried by people, and the horse-drawn teams are also remote and
