Chapter 961 Rebellion
After the fleet passed through Haizhou, it entered Shandong's boundary.
In April, the sea of Shandong was calm, which made the fleet not very bumpy all the way, but the speed was not fast.
The Ming army used "renew" to describe the speed of sea ships. Eunuch Wei finally understood the concept of "renew". He calculated that if he used the algorithm of later generations, the fleet would travel about 25 miles per hour. If it was a good wind, it would reach 50 miles per hour at the fastest time.
This speed is definitely much faster than the land march.
Because I am an outsider, the navy will be the highlight in the future.
So in the past two days, my father-in-law has also been learning many systems of the Ming Dynasty navy, and it is a headache to learn. However, Tong Jia never brought it, otherwise there would be someone who pinched his legs and massaged his back to relieve the pain of learning.
After the pain, the naval modernization construction began.
The first step is naturally to convert all the algorithms used by the Ming army into later generations, and the flag language and flag orders should also be improved so that the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty can successfully transform.
Because there are too many things involved and it is not enough for the father-in-law to do it, he must first set up a basic system and then convene a group of generals to discuss it before it can be finally implemented.
You should not be impatient, you should slow down, otherwise new things will be brought in in one go, which will definitely be a huge impact for officers and soldiers who are used to the old system. If they are not messed up, they will be messed up.
Two days later, the fleet encountered two warships from Shandong. Eunuch Wei initially thought that the other party was from Denglaishui Camp, but after asking, he found out that it was the warship of Chengshanwei. Chengshanwei is one of the seven coastal guards in Shandong, roughly where Rongcheng City is located in later generations.
Shandong has built seven guards since the beginning of the country, located in different coastal areas, just like Zhejiang, and each is under its jurisdiction. Because there is no sea invasion in Shandong's territory, after two hundred years, the destruction of each guard is far away from the southeastern region.
Just like this, the mountain guards, there were only six boats in total, and the biggest one was a sand boat. The rest of the warships were either decayed or sold to fishermen by officials. What's more, they were directly demolished and sold to the surrounding people as wood to build houses and tombs.
This is because one official does not care about one official. The current official only cares about how much he reaps himself and wherever he relies on his next job.
The two warships that the navy encountered were from the mountain guards who went out to sea to fish under the command of the guards.
The navy relies on the sea to eat, and the navy in Fujian and Zhejiang relies on smuggling, selling goods, and even pirates. There is no sea road to the north, so it can only be fishing and peddling.
Apart from this, they really couldn't imagine what they could do with the boat.
Seeing six large ships full of flags coming from the south, the officers and soldiers on the two ships of Chengshanwei were quite nervous, because judging from the posture of the ship, there must be a big man on the ship, and maybe some imperial envoy was there.
Their two boats were hung with fishing nets, and the cabin was not filled with medicine and weapons, but fish that were caught. So I was really worried that the big shots would see them and write to the court to punish them.
Fortunately, the other party did not mean to cause trouble for them.
Eunuch Wei asked someone to bring the officer of Chengshan Guards, and after showing the official seal, he asked the other party to mark the maps given to him to the locations of the Shandong guards.
The officer dared not refuse to follow. After finishing the bidding one by one, his father-in-law took it over and looked at it, but found that there was no Qingdao, and even the Laizhou Prefecture where Qingdao is located, there was no Shuiying and Vacation Office.
This made my father-in-law very surprised. Denglai Water Camp was very famous in his previous life.
After careful recollection, I remember that the Denglai Water Camp was established during the Tianqi period. The original intention was to deal with the Liao incident. At present, there was no shadow in the Liao incident, so the Denglai Water Camp could not be established.
My father-in-law rewarded the officer of Chengshan Guard with a piece of silver ingot and asked him to go back. The officer was brought in a confused manner and sent away again. It was really surprising.
My father-in-law didn't say much, and just used a pen to circle it in Laizhou Prefecture.
Ruan Dacheng looked around, but he didn't know what it meant.
The fleet did not stop at Chengshanwei, but continued to march northward and finally replenish fresh water and food in Weihaiwei.
Eunuch Wei did not go ashore, so he asked Wang Dali to hold his official position to negotiate with Weihaiwei.
The commander of the Weihai Guard was also a warrior with no backbone. When he saw that he was the seal of the Central Guard of Jiangnan. He was very busy and attentive, but he was sure of everything needed by the navy.
Wang Dali did not rely on the power of Eunuch Wei to suppress the Weihai Guard. He paid for everything he did and did not deduct it. He secretly rejoiced the command of the Weihai Guard.
Without it, this money will definitely not be able to be paid to others.
After staying in Weihai for a day, the fleet entered the Bohai area in later generations, with the destination of Tianjin Wei.
In the secret disclosure to Wanli, Eunuch Wei had already told the emperor that he and Yinzi would land in Tianjin Wei. In order to avoid leaking the news, Eunuch Wei hoped that the emperor could send capable people to hand over the deal.
………………
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
Wanli is reading the memorials and question books handed over by Tongzhengsi and Wenshu.
The Tongzhengsi handed over the memorials from the outside court, while the Wenshu handed over the memorials from the internal and external officials.
In the former, Wanli basically glanced at it and no longer looked at it. Except for border affairs, he would order the eunuchs to record the records, hand it over to the cabinet bill, and then the Sili approved the rewards, and submitted it to the local supervision department for the implementation.
He kept all the rest and did not post it, which was also his old habit for twenty years. He even didn't read the notebooks of some censors and threw them directly into the "gray pile", regardless of what was said on it.
However, Wanli has read the latter from beginning to end, and basically achieved every question book, and secretly revealed that he, the emperor, gave clear instructions.
Because these internal and external dynasties were sent out by Wanli, and involved their own interests, how could he ignore the emperor?
Because it was the inner court, there was no need to vote to approve the dividend, and it was almost a decision made by Wanli.
When he turned to a secret secret sent by Jiangnan, Wanli looked at Fengming and became energetic. After opening it, he glanced a few times. His face was moved instantly. He stood up immediately. He was very nervous and excited and asked the eunuch, "When did this be delivered?"
The eunuch took a few steps closer and looked at the secret name and said, "Go back to the emperor, seven days ago."
Wanli was displeased when he heard this: "I sent it seven days ago, why did I just let me see it now?"
The eunuch dared not speak, thinking to himself that you have been with the concubine all day long these days, and you will not bother with foreign affairs. It is not that they dare to suppress them privately.
Wanli Xu thought of this and did not say anything to the eunuch. He exhaled, rubbed his hands, and ordered the eunuch to take the secret reveal to Jin Zhong for Bingbi.
He believed that Jin Zhong would know how to do it after reading it.
"Go quickly!" Wanli was very anxious.
The eunuch did not dare to neglect, so he quickly took the secret to find Eunuch Jin. When he went out, he saw the concubine. The concubine was curious about why the eunuch was so anxious. Seeing that he had a secret to his hand, he asked her husband casually: "What's the matter, so in such a hurry?"
"Ah? No, nothing..."
Wanli's heart was beating, and he winked at the eunuch, signaling the other party to leave quickly. Then he smiled and slowly stepped forward to hold the imperial concubine's hand, and asked, "Why are you here when you are not resting in the bedroom?"
At noon, the palace is quiet at this time, and no noise is allowed. The concubine also takes a nap at noon every day, so Wanli was also curious about why the concubine didn't take a nap and came to him.
"I was going to sleep, but when I thought about Chang Xun's affairs, I was in my heart..."
