"Obai, you, the greatest warrior in Manchuria, know how to burn, kill and loot?"

Dorgon only frowned after listening to Obai's words. It wasn't that Xian Obai was incompetent, but he remembered what the great lama had told him that burning, killing, looting, etc. would shorten his lifespan! Dorgon's lifespan was not long to begin with.

We have done a lot of burning, killing and looting, so after many twists and turns, there is not much left, so we have to be economical, otherwise we will have to become the "Late Emperor Ama".

Moreover, last time in Qufu, we robbed a "great god" who shouldn't have been robbed. He and Sakyamuni were contemporaries. Confucius was more than ten years younger than Buddha. He attained enlightenment at about the same time. We knew each other from above, two thousand years ago.

They have become friends, so the great lama is also in a dilemma!

After being taught by the great lama, Huang Ama also knew that he was afraid, so in the past two years, the Qing army basically stopped burning, killing and looting.

Of course, even if Emperor Ama was not afraid of dying early, his Nine Flags warriors would have no place to rob. If you want to rob, you have to win the battle. If you lose, you will be robbed. And this victory is really unaffordable! Thousands of people will die in one battle.

, how many people does Manchuria have? How many games can it win?

"Huang Ama, there are so many things that a slave can do!" Obai thought hard, "In addition to murder and arson, a slave can also do a lot of things."

What can he do? He can embezzle, take bribes, smuggle, and even send muskets to the emperor!

"I know how to sail a boat!" Oboi finally remembered a skill, "My slave can also sail a boat! I learned how to sail a boat before the British prince attacked Phi Island. I know how to sail a boat on the sea, whether with a sail or an oar.

All slaves are fine!"

"Haha," Dorgon laughed, "It seems that I have found the right person," he said to the white-armored soldiers guarding him on the left and right, "Go and announce Zhang Jing's arrival!"

Bu Zhangjing is Bruce. He served as the official of the Qing Dynasty under the green flag Mele Zhangjing. Although he has left office, he has not yet left for the south and is still making suggestions for Dorgon.

Just before Obey came to Beijing, Bruce had formulated a strategy for the Qing Dynasty that could definitely defend the Heilongjiang, Amur, and Jingli Rivers. His strategy had three key points. One was to establish a Qing version of the Cossack Army.

When fighting in the forests and snowy plains of the outer northeast, the serious Morris Square and Gustav Square cannot be used at all. You have to be wild like the Cossacks. You can do anything, you can endure any hardship, and you can't starve to death wherever you go.

!

Bruce discovered that some of the old Eight Banners knew quite a lot about it. They could mount a horse and shoot an arrow, dismount a horse and fight hand to hand, hunt and fish, kill people and set fires, dig graves and fight upside down, and they could do everything!

If you can train it properly and update the equipment, you will be a Cossack of the Qing Dynasty!

The second is to establish the Great Qingshui Division!

That’s right, it’s the Navy Master!

However, it is not a large navy that competes with the Ming Dynasty Navy in the Northern and Southern Oceans, but a navy that competes with the Rakshasa Navy on the Amur River, Heilongjiang River, Jinqili River, North Sea (Sea of ​​Okhotsk), and Whale Sea (Sea of ​​Japan).

Little sailor.

The reason for establishing such a navy is because the infrastructure in the outer Northeast is extremely poor. In addition to waterways, the only way is to drill through old forests.

The old forests in the Northeast can "eat people". Even if a Cossack enters, he will be trapped in it if he is not careful.

Therefore, the expansion of the Cossacks in the outer northeast must rely on waterways! And the Qing Dynasty’s counterattacks and defensive actions were also inseparable from waterways.

In this case, whoever can have a navy operating in the Amur River, Heilongjiang, Jinqili River basins and the coastal areas of the North Sea (Sea of ​​Okhotsk) and the Whale Sea (Sea of ​​Japan) will be invincible

.

The third is to move the Ningguta military town and establish a new military town. The important town in the north of the old place outside the pass is the Ningguta. However, the location of this Ningguta is not good. Firstly, it is not close to the sea, and secondly, it is not close to Heilongjiang.

It is an important border town that does not depend on the border line!

Therefore, when the Rakshasa Kingdom invaded, Ningguta, a military town, was of limited use.

Bruce's suggestion is to move the Ninggu Pagoda to the edge of the Heilongjiang River, or at least to the Songhua River. Then use the Xinning Ancient Pagoda as the base at the intersection of the Heilongjiang and Jingqili Rivers (Hailan Pao)

, three branch cities were established at the intersection of Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers, and at the mouth of Heilongjiang (Amur River).

The new Ningguta City and the three branch cities must all be mound bastions, must be equipped with artillery that can block rivers, and must have ports protected by bastions.

With four bastions and a fleet that can operate on the Heilongjiang, Songhua, Wusuli, and Jingqili rivers, it will be difficult for the Rakshasa Kingdom to encroach on the areas along the four rivers.

In addition, Bruce also suggested finding a suitable location to establish a new military town on the coast of the Whale Sea. This new military town should have an excellent port, preferably an ice-free port, and land transportation should be as convenient as possible, preferably with an inland river.

If there was such a good place to connect to the Wusuli River, the Qing Dynasty would have a seaport that could completely avoid the Ming Navy.

"How big should the four forts be? How many troops should be stationed?"

In the Chonghua Palace, an inaccurate map of the Heilongjiang Basin has been spread out on the table in front of Dorgon. Obai, Fan Wencheng, and Bruce all gathered around the table and looked at the map and talked with Dorgon.

Woolen cloth.

The person asking the question now is Ao Bai. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing or Heilongjiang Angbang Zhangjing, so I need to ask more questions.

"It doesn't have to be too big," Bruce said. "The main fort can accommodate thousands of people, and the branch fort can accommodate hundreds of people. It doesn't need to be built with bricks and stones, it can be built with earth and wood."

"Where is the ship?" Obai asked again, "How big is the ship? What type of ship is it being built? Where is the construction started?"

Bruce said: "Heilongjiang, Wusuli River, Jingqili River and Songhua River are all inland rivers. The wind direction is unknown, and the water depth is also unknown, so it is best to choose a flat-bottomed or round-bottomed galley. The centipede boat in Nanming can be used by civilians in Nanming.

There are various types of centipede boats, some of which are large enough to mount artillery, so you can order one as a sample."

The installation of artillery on civilian ships seemed like a fantasy in later generations, but in the Age of Discovery, it was completely normal.

There is no king's law on the sea, and maritime merchants and pirates are often two things. Therefore, merchant ships without artillery usually need warships to escort them before they can go to sea. Otherwise, they will just wait to be robbed.

Therefore, private shipyards in Nanming can legally sell gunboats! And as long as the shipowner is willing to pay a high price, the shipyard will modify the ship type and install artillery according to the owner's requirements. Moreover, the shipyard and the Ming government will not interfere with these gunboats at all.

Where to go!

It can be said that the governments of various maritime powers in the Age of Discovery were extremely ambitious. Not only did they not ban guns, they even banned cannons!

"If we can buy a sample ship," Fan Wencheng said thoughtfully, "then we can sail the ship to a North Korean seaport, order the North Korean shipwrights to dismantle the ship, measure the dimensions, and draw a sample. Then we can have them go to the Songhua River to produce the abundant products.

Where the timber is used, factories and ships are built.”

Dorgon nodded and said: "That's it! Obai, Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Yamen will be left to you. First, arrange to move the town to the banks of the Songhua River. Choose a place with fertile water and grass and old forests to cut down.

A place for trees.”

"My slave obeys the order." Ao Bai quickly accepted the order.

Dorgon added: "We need to train another fire gun. Ba Ya La soldiers select warriors from each banner. Not only must they be skilled in bow and horse, and good at fighting, but they must also be taught how to use fire guns. When encountering the enemy, they can first

Fire the blunderbuss, then shoot the arrow, and finally fight."

"My slave obeys the order." Obai received the order again. From now on, he will take the Cossack as his teacher, and he will be the first Cossack in the Qing Dynasty!

"Fan Wencheng!" Dorgon ordered Fan Wencheng's general again.

"The slave is here."

Dorgon said: "Buy the ship, and the shipbuilding will be entrusted to you. Just add a foreign craftsman Jia La under the banner of Xianglv. You can recruit North Korean shipbuilders and gunsmiths to carry the flag. This Jia La does not divide the land and does not perform military service."
