Chapter 789 Back

The matter of pacifying the Japanese was full of controversy.

The Central Plains Dynasty said it was a rare thing to put down the Japanese for the first time.

Yang Jing held today's newspaper in his hand.

Since Yang Reform decided to suppress the Japanese, there will be no shortage of corresponding publicity.

The front page headlines on this newspaper are about suppressing the Japanese. The damage to the Ming Dynasty and the fall of Liaodong and the rise of the Eastern Captains are also counted as the new and old hatreds.

In addition to these, it also consumes a lot of space to introduce Japan's geographical location, political history, and population.

Although Yuan Chonghuan was appointed as the governor of the Japanese Punishment Army, he did not leave Beijing immediately, but was still on the platform.

"The Qing family will be pacified for at least three to five years, or even more. The Qing family must be prepared!" Yang Jingtong said. The combat plan for Japan has been basically determined, so the time can be basically determined. It is basically based on guerrilla blockade wars, forming the Imperial Army to harass Japan rather than fighting a battle. Large-scale decisive battles focus on one blow, and the shorter the time, the better, so that more consumption can be avoided and the domestic finances can be dragged down. However, guerrilla warfare is just the opposite. It is constantly used to eliminate the enemy's strength by extending the time, so it takes a long time.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am ready." Yuan Chonghuan replied softly. He is just a person who can't stay idle, a person who would rather die on the battlefield than live a stable life. When he was a county magistrate, he thought about going to the battlefield and being a Beijing official, he could "disappear" on the battlefield for investigation. This is definitely not something that an ordinary civil servant could do.

"Okay! I have already arranged the matter for the Navy Fleet for Qing's family. In addition to the original fleets in Japan, Ryukyu, North Korea and other places, the Nanjing Shipyard has also built many new ships for the Qing's family, including combat-friendly warships, supply-friendly ships, and clutches that specialize in transmitting messages..." Yang Jing said. For today's Yang Jing, these warships are just a matter of one word, so you don't have to worry about it at all.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your accomplishment!" Yuan Chonghuan sincerely thanked him. This matter was basically entirely supported by the emperor. Without the emperor's support, it would be impossible to succeed.

"From the terrain of this Japanese country, combined with my strategy, there must be something in your family to pacify Japan this time..." Yang Jie pointed to the sand table and said.

"Your Majesty also asks you to show me!" Yuan Chonghuan said.

"...It's here..." Yang Jie drew a circle on the sand table.

"Your Majesty is talking about North Korea?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"Yes, North Korea, our North Korea and Japan have great hatred. In fact, North Korea may not have no. In the battle of our North Korea aid, who is aiding? Isn't it North Korea? How can North Korea not hate Japan? Is there no blood feud?... North Korea is very close to Japan, and to pacify Japan, it is necessary to use North Korea..." Yang Jing said.

"Report to Your Majesty, yes..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"...This time our country is going to take revenge, and I will issue an order for the North Korean king to cooperate..." Yang Jingwei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty means that you should use Koreans to fight against the Japanese as the vanguard?" Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Yes, right? Our country has paid such a great price for North Korea. I will ask North Korea to help us to suppress Japan. How can the Korean lord say something?..." Yang Jie said that the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea in this era is really the relationship between the master and the vassal state. Yang Jie said one, and he will never allow North Korea to say something.

"...I have asked the Korean king for several islands and ports to pacify Japan, including Nampo Port, Incheon Port, and Jeju Island. This is the only way for us to go to Japan to the north. These places are excellent ports for Qing family ships to dock and rest. There is also Busan among them. Busan is the closest place to Japan. From here, there will be less trouble to fight abroad..." Yang Jie said.

"...Your Majesty,... I'm afraid that although Your Majesty issued an order, the North Koreans may not be able to do their best!... If you are a friendly army, you're afraid that the Koreans' combat power may not be ideal, but will drag down the ministers..." Yuan Chonghuan said with some doubts. He went there this time, all the elites. If there were still these weak friendly forces working together, it would be a bad thing.

"No, the Koreans are not friendly troops, but imperial military forces! Of course, the names may be different, and there are slight differences, but the status and usage methods are similar. Many dirty things need to be done by someone, and the Koreans are just right... For example, the Qing family captured a city of a certain Japanese vassal lord, but it was impossible to divide the troops to plunder everywhere. This requires these Koreans..." Yang Jingjie said.

"..." Yuan Chonghuan felt ashamed.

"...In other words, the Qing family's team besieged the city of a certain vassal lord and allowed the Koreans to rob him everywhere. The vassal lord who hides in the city can only stare at him. Do you know?" Yang Jing added.

"...Yes..." Yuan Chonghuan agreed weakly. Although the robbery was inevitable when quelling the Japanese, Yuan Chonghuan was still a little uncomfortable when he said it naked.

"... But it should be noted that the North Koreans are not friendly forces, and our North Koreans are not responsible for the security of the North Koreans. When necessary, you should not put yourself in a dangerous situation by saving the North Koreans. The results you get will also be dealt with according to the Imperial Army..." Yang Jing explained. Yang Jing was deeply moved by "not afraid of opponents like gods, but afraid of teammates like pigs", so he would definitely not let teammates like pigs harm him.

"...Yes, Your Majesty, this..., the Lord of North Korea complained about our dynasty?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"...No, our North Korea has paid so much for North Korea. What's the point of sending some troops? What's more, just following our North Korea to rob things. What else can he say? Is there no risk in the sea?... When the North Koreans can get the taste, even if there is some loss, they won't care... If the North Korean king is unwilling and dares to talk too much, the Qing family will recruit North Koreans to rob. Can the North Korean king still control you?" said Yang Jingwei.

"...Report to Your Majesty, I understand..., but..." Yuan Chonghuan said ashamed.

"...It's okay, the main ports of my country and I belong to our country, and it's under our country's control. What's going on? It's not the North Korean leader's turn to take over. At those ports, I'm afraid that the North Koreans will not be able to recruit the North Koreans to steal things? Is the Imperial Army still the turn to be the North Koreans? If your family is afraid that the North Koreans will not be able to control it, I can send some from the Mongolian Imperial Army to mix with the Imperial Army to pacify the Japanese Imperial Army, or to transfer some border troops to dilute the necessity of the Koreans... Don't worry, as long as you get a few robberies, the North Koreans will be fined.

When the young people have tasted the sweetness, the Korean king will naturally be unable to sit still and help the Qing family... In the matter of pacifying the Japanese, North Korea can only be the Imperial Army, can only cooperate and assist, and even say that it is paid business cooperation and must not be a friendly army. The Qing family must remember this..." Yang Jing said. Yang Jing was afraid of "pig-like teammates". This time he would never ask for a pig-like teammate. Yang Jing was not afraid of offending North Korea. His country was rescued by the Ming Dynasty. What is the loss?

Yuan Chonghuan was extremely ashamed. He originally thought about the fight against Japan in a very open and glorious way, but now it seems that it may not be as glorious as he thought. Listening to the emperor, it is probably full of darkness and disbelief. Even though he had thought of these things, he now knows that he may not be as fully thought about them.

Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was so ashamed, Yang Jing did not continue to say this. If he continued to say this, if he said it carefully, he would say that he would plunder the population and mine it or what was used as a slave to farm. He would be afraid that Yuan Chonghuan would not be able to say this. But in the future, capital and industrialization are the most naked exploitation. Those who can squeeze out two taels of oil will never only squeeze one tael of oil.

Yang Jinghui made Yuan Chonghuan adapt for a while. He pointed to the sand table and said.

"This is roughly the matter of being north of Japan and close to North Korea,... The Qing family looks here, south of Japan, that is, the Ryukyu Kingdom..." Yang Jie pointed to another place and said.

"...Water is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and there is no need to consider the east side. The south, west, and north, these three sides are surrounded by Ryukyu, our country and North Korea. Although it is the Three Kingdoms, it is actually one of our country. This is a place that is beneficial to our country... In the north, there are Busan, Jeju Island, Incheon Port, and Nanpu Port in North Korea. There are not so many useful ports in Ryukyu, that is, the port of Ryukyu Kingdom is more useful... Here, if possible, you may be able to build a city here and build a fortress to move forward..." Yang Jie pointed to the sea and said that this place will be the Seed Island in the future.

"...Of course, this place is close to the Kyushu, Japan. Whether to build a fortress or not, is it safe to withstand the Japanese counterattack? The Qing family decides on this. If it is to be repaired, I can send a ship of cement to the Qing family and help the Qing family quickly build a fortress port. If you want to build a fortress with cement, you can do nothing if you want to use the Japanese cannon level, even if you let him hit it for a few days..." Yang Jie said.

"Your Majesty, you need to repair it, you need to repair it! If you can get cement to build a fortress, it will be a nail nailed to the chest of the Japanese! Just a small number of soldiers will be difficult for the Japanese to cross it. You can support the waters of North Korea on the left and threaten the capital of the Japanese. It is a critical place. If you do not build this place, the warships will set off from the southern Ryukyu Kingdom, the distance will be too far away..." Yuan Chonghuan said. As the Minister of War, Yuan Chonghuan obviously knew the information about Japan that the General Staff had been collecting, and he still studied these things. He had to repair it at once without any hesitation.

"...Well, okay..." Yang Jingwei said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!...If there is cement to build it, it will become a strong city within ten months. It will be successfully built before Japan can react. Once the fortress in this place is completed, it will definitely be a nightmare for Japan..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

Yang Jing nodded. Yang Jing was still a little hesitant about whether to use cement to quickly build a fortress fortress, but since Yuan Lengzi wanted it, let it give it to him. In the 20th century, the Japanese used cement forts and guardhouses to bully the Chinese without heavy weapons. Now, he wants to repay Japan, although it is a bit extravagant to consume cement.

"...If the Qing family fought well and had extra money, I could send more cement to the Qing family..." Yang said this at the end of the reform.

"..." Yuan Chonghuan was ashamed again. The emperor's plan was so good that he never forgot to trade!

"...By the way, there is another thing that I almost forgot to tell the Qing family..." Yang Jingai thought about it.

"Your Majesty also asks you to tell me..." Yuan Chonghuan said quickly.

"...The ports I just told Qing's family will build large lighthouses for ships returning to the port at night. Some ports have been repaired, such as Shanghai, some are still under construction, and some are preparing to repair. The Qing's family needs to understand this..." Yang Jiewei said.

"... I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. In this way, Tianjin, Dengzhou, Jinzhou, North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, and Shanghai dialects have almost all lighthouses around the sea. I am not afraid of going to the sea. No matter where the ships on the sea go, they will have lighthouses to guide you... Your Majesty, this is a great virtue!" Yuan Chonghuan said. Yuan Chonghuan said with emotion. He himself wanted to go to sea, and he had a deep affection for the lighthouse on the sea, and he wished that there were lighthouses everywhere.

"Well, there will be more and more lighthouses. Don't worry, this, I am willing to spend money..." Yang Jingwei said.

"...There is another thing that the Qing family needs to pay attention to..." Yang Jingwei ordered again.

"Your Majesty also asks you to tell me..." Yuan Chonghuan said again.

"... Although the Qing family served as the commander of the Japanese to combat the Japanese, I have to say that the Qing family knows nothing about sea affairs and naval warfare. I hope that the Qing family can learn more and read more, and understand the Japanese things as soon as possible. You must pretend to understand and do whatever you want. When you encounter unclear, what you don't understand is that you should ask more questions and think more, don't be afraid of being ugly. Do you understand?" Yang Jing said that letting Yuan Chonghuan go to suppress the Japanese was actually not very helpful to suppress the Japanese. It was enough for Shang Kexi to suppress the Japanese by Lei Datong themselves, but it still took a lot of energy to suppress the Japanese. This is related to the upgrade of the navy and the problem of civil officials controlling overseas colonies in the future. If you don't make a rule out this matter, it will be even more troublesome in the future.

"...Report to Your Majesty, I know myself. I am aware of myself. I am a war in the land, but I have some experience. I can say that I know nothing about the battle in the sea. When I don't understand, I should ask myself and learn by myself. Don't worry, I will not be arrogant..." Yuan Chonghuan's face turned hot and his face turned red.

"...Well, it's good that the Qing family can understand. I thought about it. It would be better to have a staff team for the Qing family. If there is a staff team to provide advice for the Qing family and make mistakes, it can also allow the Qing family to grow up as soon as possible, and it can also allow the Qing family to make fewer mistakes. What do you think?" Yang Jing said. Yang Jing launched his own staff system. In order to prevent the military from becoming overwhelmed, he could only try to use civil officials as much as possible. However, civil officials are often unreliable and lack combat knowledge and skills. Therefore, the staff system, which provides advice and opinions to the commander and prevents civil officials and generals from becoming overwhelmed, came in handy.

"Report to Your Majesty, everything depends on your Majesty's orders..." Yuan Chonghuan said immediately. He wanted to say something about this, but he had nothing to say. What the emperor wants to do, then what the emperor wants to do.

"...Well, okay, this matter has been decided like this. Shang Kexi, Lei Dayong and others are actually powerful generals at the sea. If they provide advice for the Qing family, make mistakes, and lead troops to fight, they can help the Qing family to return triumphantly as soon as possible..." Yang Jie said that although Shang Kexi and Lei Dayong are now leading the fleet, they are indeed the staff.

"I received the order!" Yuan Chonghuan agreed. He was not unfamiliar with these two people, and had also heard of the deeds of these two people. Although he was a little unhappy with these two experts who fought against the water, he still needed them very much.

"... I thought about the headquarters of the Qing family, and I will set it in Busan for the time being. Of course, I don't restrict the seat of the Qing family from sitting here all the time..." Yang Jie thought about it and said that Busan is the closest place to Japan. If you attack Japan, you must go here. To put it pessimistically, you can also return to the Ming Dynasty by land. It is a place where you can attack and defend. The headquarters is here, and this is the base camp. It is still very beneficial for logistics and calming people's hearts.

"I will receive the order!" Yuan Chonghuan agreed.

"... When the Qing family shows their signature, they will face the national rebound of Japan. The pressure is also quite high. Perhaps there will be a big battle with Japan. The first thing they need to do is to suppress the Satsuma family and find suitable candidates for the Imperial Army in Japan. The Qing family must know what they think!" Yang Jing reminded.

"...Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a plan in my mind. I want to compare the small boats of Japan with the giant ships of our dynasty, there is no threat... Just like the warships of our dynasty who used small boats to deal with the Folang Jimen, although there were hundreds of ships and there seemed to be many ships, they often could not pose any threat to the Folang Jimen's warships,..." When he said this, Yuan Chonghuan's face was red. The experience of the Ming Dynasty fighting at sea was almost reappearing now. Of course, it was to be reversed. This time, the Ming Dynasty owned the giant ships owned by the Folang Jimen, while the Japanese were weaker boats that were worse than the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of the embarrassing embarrassing embarrassingly, Yuan Chonghuan blushed.

"...Well, this is not bad. The Western barbarians are still very talented in naval battles. This must be admitted and must learn from them. This time, I still hired them, but they are elite soldiers with extremely strong combat power..." Yang Jingwei said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"...Your Majesty, I think that with elite navy and strong ships and powerful cannons, I can hit the target with one blow. I want to use the sea transportation of Japan and wait for the country to react. Even if the whole country wants to cause trouble for me, it will be several months later. At that time, if I can't suppress the Satsuma vassal, I will be punished..." Yuan Chonghuan said with great confidence. He didn't believe that with strong ships and powerful cannons, I would not be able to subdue a poor Satsuma vassal. According to information, the Satsuma vassal was originally barren and had no output. It basically relied on trade with the Ming Dynasty by Ryukyu. Now it was driven away by the Ming Dynasty and was cut off. He didn't believe it. He could not defeat the Satsuma vassal in a few months.

Of course, if he couldn't defeat the Satsuma clan for a few months, he immediately retreated and immediately guerrillas, and would never fight head-on with the Japanese. Aren't you going to fight the whole country? Then I'll attack everywhere to see if you can place the same amount of troops in all places to defend. Yuan Chonghuan is confident about this.

"Well, the trick to fight Japan is 'The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy stands and I disturb me, the enemy is tired, I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase', and I fight', fighting on its long coastline, fighting unexpectedly, leaving him surrounded by enemies everywhere, needing defense everywhere, and unable to defend at all..." Yang Jing explained again.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have recorded it..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"... Although the power of the whole country gathers its strengths in Japan is quite objective, but in reality, the power is very scattered. In his place, a city is a lord, a daimyo. The long coastline is the backyard where the Qing family enters and leaves. When the Qing family goes, he will beat that daimyo, and if the Daimyo is strong in hostility towards our Ming Dynasty, he will beat whoever jumps happily... If the shogunate tries to defend the north coast as much as possible, then the Qing family will

The attack on the coast of the south made it impossible for him to take into account both ends, constantly eroding and weakening the prestige of the shogunate and making the rule of the shogunate fragile. Only when the shogunate's control over the local lord Daming could it be easier for our dynasty to act rampantly in it. Only a scattered and weak Japanese country was what our dynasty needed... Hehe, the north was plundered and done in the name of the Koreans, and the south was in the name of Ryukyu. I want to make the Japanese people worried..." Yang Jing introduced it tirelessly.

"...Report to Your Majesty, I have recorded it..." Yuan Chonghuan agreed.

"...By the way, war is about war, but trade is about trade. Do you understand? You can't ban trade just because of war..." When Yang Jing remembered this, he still tirelessly instilled in Yuan Chonghua.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand..." Yuan Chonghuan said. Needless to say, he also understood that this issue was not only him, but basically the officials of the Ming Dynasty understood that now, the emperor decided on the sea, and the trade at sea belonged to the emperor. If anyone hindered the sea trade, it would hinder the emperor from making money and hindered the emperor from making money, it would be a disaster.

"...Well, so, the Qing family should support the Imperial Army as soon as possible..." Yang Jiefang said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"......Then it's about Feng Hang. I want to talk to the Qing family solemnly..." Yang Jing had a lot of things to explain to Yuan Chonghuan. There was no way, Yuan Chonghuan wanted to pacify the Japanese. If he didn't explain it clearly to him, he was afraid that he would forget the bad things.

"Your Majesty also asks you to show me!" Yuan Chonghuan said.

"In the matter of banning the air, the Qing family needs to continue to implement my previous strategy. You cannot let ships go to and from the sea at will, and you must not talk about any kindness... Your family remembers this very much and must not ruin my affairs. If I know that your family is indiscriminately equipped with people and opens the door of convenience indiscriminately, I will never give up..." Yang Jie said seriously.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have recorded it..." Yuan Chonghuan immediately bowed and agreed when he saw the emperor saying things seriously.

"...Of course, it's really just a matter of affection. The Qing family can still give you a convenient door. I am not an unreasonable person... but I need to report it to me here..." Yang Jingwei said.

Yuan Chonghuan was very ashamed. If he reported it to the emperor, would there be any good fruit? It would be better not to open a door of convenience for others. Besides, the North and South Navy on the sea were all the emperors. He went to open the door of convenience. Do the people below know whether they listened to him or not? Yuan Chonghuan did not believe that the emperor had no other means of controlling the North and South Navy.

"Report to Your Majesty, I know..." Yuan Chonghuan said ashamed.

Yang Jie was very verbose, and finally felt that he had finished what he wanted to say and was about to finish his work, but suddenly he remembered something.

"...Wait, I thought of something important..." Yang Jingai said with a frown.

"Your Majesty also asks you to show me..." Yuan Chonghuan quickly bowed and waited for instructions.

"Actually, after saying so much, I am particularly dissatisfied with something..." Yang Jingai thought about it and said.

"... Please tell me your Majesty, I don't know what happened..." Yuan Chonghuan said quickly.

"...I am very dissatisfied with the speed of this ship..." Yang Jie paused and said, in fact, this has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan... Of course, it can also be said to be related.

"...What does Your Majesty mean?" Yuan Chonghuan asked in confusion.

"...I'm thinking that the speed of the ships on the sea is still too slow. If it can be faster, that's great. The Qing family's travels to Japan is too long. If it's smooth, it's better. If it's not smooth, it may take several months. After two months, it's too late to travel a year. There's no guarantee... What happened to the Qing family in Japan? I can't support the Qing family. This news is a matter of cold, and all day lily will be cold..." Yang Jing complained. What Yang Jing said is also true. With the communication methods and speed of the Ming Dynasty today, it can be called "long time". Yang Jing really can't stand this. Of course, Yang Jing didn't think it was impossible. The relay beacons spread throughout the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are actually a measure to increase the speed of message transmission. Of course, Yang Jing would not think it was faster.

"...Report to Your Majesty, this... is not possible. When you travel to and from Japan, you need to take a boat. The boat floats on the sea and travels entirely by the wind or waves. It is not like you can rely on your feet to pass it urgently... Your Majesty, there are lighthouses all over the sea, which is actually much faster than usual..." Yuan Chonghuan said ashamed. In fact, the time you travel to and from Japan has been greatly reduced. From the original few months to the present, you can travel once every month, and of course it will be smooth sailing.

"I know this, but I am not satisfied with the current situation. This must be changed! Whether it is supporting the Qing family to pacify the Japanese or going to Southeast Asia in the future, it is always inappropriate to not have a faster ship to deliver information... If you don't say it is far away, just talk about the Qing family. It's about fast fighting and slowing. If there is no ship that can quickly convey information, it will not work..." Yang Jing said. Yang Jing had only studied warships and ships for a while, and he still had some understanding of ships.

"...Report to Your Majesty, our dynasty also has a Clipper who conveys messages. If there is a more complete and dense lighthouse and smooth sailing, it can be done to travel back and forth between Japan in ten months. Your Majesty, this is already very fast..." Yuan Chonghuan explained ashamedly. Relying on the lighthouse, you can achieve a situation similar to the emergency delivery relay on land, and the ships that convey messages can sail on the sea almost all day and night. This transmission speed and effect are already very amazing. If a large number of sailors and crew members who are familiar with the sea conditions are trained, the time it takes to go back and forth to Japan will be shorter. Yuan Chonghuan originally thought this was already amazing, but the emperor was still dissatisfied with this..., Yuan Chonghuan was ashamed, but he could only be ashamed...

"I know this, but this is not fast enough. I need a faster ship to deliver the message, and there is no need for the influence of wind direction and ocean currents... If you send the message from Japan to the capital, it would be great if you can go back and forth for a few days or ten days..." Yang Jing said that when Yang Jing was paying attention to ships before, he wanted to build a flying scissor. However, the flying scissor ship was obviously not something that the Ming Dynasty could build. Although Yang Jing had this wish, he really didn't have so much energy to do this. At that time, Yang Jing could be said to be burning with his butt on fire. He was trying his best to extinguish the internal and external parts of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the sparks of the future were not in the energy or mood to study and improve the flying scissor ship. Now it seems that it is necessary to get it out of this flying scissor ship. Even if it cannot be copied 100% and half of the effect, it is very amazing.

"..." Yuan Chonghua was really ashamed. He went back and forth for several days? Is this possible? Apart from flying, Yuan Chonghuan really couldn't think of any other way.

Yang Jing calculated that if the speed could be pushed to ten knots, then the distance from Nagasaki, Japan to Tianjin was only 700 nautical miles, and it would take about three or four days to reach the capital. One round trip could indeed be controlled stably within ten days, which played an extremely important role in controlling Japan.

"...Forget it, I have my own way to do this. The Qing family knows it. There is no need to be distracted by this matter..." Yang Jing thought about it and said that although this seems to have little to do with Yuan Chonghuan, it still has something to do. Yuan Chonghuan and Han Yu are inseparable. They said that it was for Yuan Chonghuan, that is, for Han Yu. Han Yu knew what he wanted to do. The matter of building a lighthouse is the responsibility of Han Yu. Now that his students are going out to fight, they have to live on the lighthouse. Without Yang Jing, Han Yu will send more lighthouse memorials to build more lighthouses, and they will strive to demonstrate the benefits of building a lighthouse, so they don't have to worry about this matter.
Chapter completed!
