Chapter 688 The strongest navy in East Asia
Eunuch Wei did not kill Cheng Qing, even though he knew that the other party had not truly obeyed him, the maritime admiral.
Because, killing people can be established once, not twice.
The military power at Wusongkou has fallen into the hands of Eunuch Wei, so he can no longer kill people. If Cheng Qing is killed again at this time, the most direct consequence is that all the soldiers in Huizhou are in danger, and the "peace" that has finally been obtained will be bloody again.
After all, Eunuch Wei is now trying to collect people, expand his power, and rectify the navy going to sea to make money, rather than killing people randomly.
Furthermore, the only one who killed Jiang, Guanying, was Ying Tian Fuchen, and another hundred Huizhou soldiers and other hundreds of Huizhou generals may offend the entire Nanzhi officialdom.
When Eunuch Wei was at the place where Yingtian was helping his ministers, Eunuch Wei was not afraid at all. He was an enemy of the entire Nanzhi officialdom and even the entire southern officialdom. Eunuch Wei's head might not be very hard.
Besides, if Wunian kills one person, Wanli can accept it. If Wunian kills hundreds of people, Wanli is afraid that he will be so angry that he will have a poisonous sore like the Empress. There is also the bad thing about Donglin Academy. Once the emperor attacks the heart of poisonous fire, Eunuch Wei will be worried.
After all, even if he rectified the Wusong River Camp into the Royal Navy, he still relied on the tiger skin of Wanli and his eunuch in the system. Without this support, he would be nothing.
Therefore, you should not kill indiscriminately, to avoid unnecessary casualties, and to avoid the emperor jumping over the wall.
But Cheng Qing was the second leader of Dusi, Wusong Water Camp, and he allowed him to move freely in the camp. It is difficult to ensure that he would not connect privately. At a critical juncture, he would give Eunuch Wei a family.
Therefore, after returning from the dock, Eunuch Wei immediately reorganized his naval organization.
The purpose of the reorganization is to clarify the relationship between the upper and lower levels, establish a new command system, and to eliminate all potential dangers that may endanger the naval cause.
This potential danger itself contains the old command power of Cheng Qing and others.
The Wusong Water Camp is now in a state of enclosure. The strict order issued by Eunuch Wei will be allowed to enter and not leave within seven days. This is to ensure that everything that happened in the Wusong Water Camp will not be known to Suzhou in the short term. When you know it, it will be cooked with raw rice, and the Royal Navy was honorably established.
Zheng Duo personally led the horse team to inspect the camps, and the officers of each camp were also punished again and again.
No one complained about the water camp that received the reward from Eunuch Wei. It became the Royal Navy and the supreme glory of the emperor's personal army became the driving force for the navy officers and soldiers.
For a time, there was a new atmosphere and a new situation.
Only a small number of people know about the death of Jiang in Guanying. Eunuch Wei secretly ordered Jiang in Guanying to be buried in Shanghai County and bought a good coffin at a high cost, but it is difficult to erect a monument for the guerrilla general at present.
The most basic step in rectifying and forming a navy is to re-dividing command power, specifically to divest the old command system.
Theoretically, the Ming Dynasty actually did not have the military system of the navy. The coastal navy divisions (battalions) were used in the system of garrisons. For example, the Guangdong Navy was under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong General, with the subordinate generals, guerrillas, garrisons, and garrisons. The Zhejiang Navy was promoted by the Zhejiang General, with the subordinate generals and guerrillas. There was also a general captain Dushi responsible for combating smuggling, but the general captain Dushi was in name only.
The Fujian navy was promoted by the deputy general and was under the jurisdiction of the general. Fujian also equipped the Japanese ministry, but this ministry had no warships. If there were any wars, it would be reported to the deputy general of Fujian, and then the deputy general of the deputy general of the construction department was deployed. The same was true for the Penghu Inspection Department.
In short, no matter whether it is the navy in the south or the navy in the north, they are nominally unable to fight independently, and are all promoted by local generals and generals.
The only independent nature and related to maritime affairs is the Maritime Department of Guangdong and Fujian.
The Maritime Warehouse Departments in various coastal areas were originally not just Guangdong and Fujian, but many. During the Yongle period, there were even Maritime Warehouse Departments in Annan and Malay, which were all adjusted by the Neichen. However, in the following two hundred years, the Maritime Warehouse Departments were constantly abolished, and the Maritime Warehouse Departments in Guangdong and Fujian also experienced several abolishment and several establishments.
The Maritime Bureau is essentially a customs office, and its responsibility is to manage maritime foreign trade. Interestingly, the Maritime Bureau in Guangdong and Fujian was re-established by the local governor thirteen years ago, while the Maritime Bureau handed over the internal treasury to the public.
This phenomenon is very interesting. It is very surprising, just like the officers and soldiers of Wusong Shui Camp would rather live a poor life than participate in smuggling.
No matter which dynasty or dynasty, maritime trade was dominated by the government, and the Southern Song Dynasty even made this maritime trade to the level of most of the national treasury income. It can be said that without the prosperous maritime trade of the Southern Song Dynasty, there would be no Southern Song at all.
In the current Ming Dynasty, the maritime trade was also very prosperous. The silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty every year was like flowing water. The court did not get much money from it, and even the navy could not get a share of it. This made Eunuch Wei think about whether his primary enemy was the red-haired ghost who had not yet become a magnificent, or Japan who had been closed to the country, the robbers at sea, or the people in the system like him.
Only by choosing the right enemy can you succeed.
After many understandings, Eunuch Wei has a little idea of who the enemy is. Now, he is about to sharpen his knife.
After repeated weighing, Eunuch Wei decided to completely reform the old naval command system, and the first thing was to do was to form all warships and personnel of the Wusong Water Camp into the Royal Navy Mobile Detachment and the Left-behind Detachment.
The mobile detachment is composed of warships that can go out to sea, while the left-behind detachment is composed of warships that cannot go out to sea.
Given that new garrison bases and ports are not available for the time being, all supply from the navy must be obtained from Wusongkou, so Eunuch Wei cannot give up at Wusongkou for at least one year. Otherwise, his fleet would probably not be able to obtain supplies from other places.
The Mobile Detachment was personally promoted by Eunuch Wei, and the temporary commission of General Qiang General Wang Dali as the detachment leader, with the rank of general. General Qiang General Lu Feng as the deputy detachment leader, with the rank of general.
The mobile detachment is composed of 52 warships, with more than 3,200 officers and soldiers, composed of more than 1,600 former Guangdong Navy officers and soldiers, more than 300 Yangzhou soldiers, more than 300 Songjiang soldiers, more than 200 Huizhou soldiers, more than 1,000 people under the personal army camp and the left camp of the infantry army.
The detachment consists of 3 three-masted gunships, 6 lucky ships, 11 building ships, 9 blue ships, 14 sea boats, and 9 other ships.
In addition to the original ships equipped with 116 cannons, 162 franc cannons, 210 tiger squat cannons, 314 large pole guns and remaining light and heavy copper cannons, Eunuch Wei distributed all the firearms purchased from the Military Weapon Bureau to the Mobile Detachment, making the mobile detachment's firearms more than three times stronger than the Wusong Water Camp before the reorganization. Moreover, this time they didn't have to worry about not enough gunpowder, because Eunuch Wei had some medicine.
This means that as long as it is not a national war, Eunuch Wei can really sweep away all monsters and monsters in the seas of East Asia.
