I will be on the shelves for one update every two hours and please order the first subscription. Please support me and give you the motivation to make every update.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Humph, I can earn more than 100,000 taels a day, and I can smash Jiannu to death. What other red and white barbarians can make them call them dad.

After calculating the exquisiteness, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but giggle and almost got into Alzheimer's disease.

"Meow!" Xiaobai ran to Zhu Youxiao's feet, rubbed his legs, and shouted with his big head raised.

Zhu Youxiao Zheng was happy, so he reached out and carried the cat into his arms, stroking the cat in a comfortable mood. But when he looked up, he found that the "cat shoveler" was lying on the small table and fell asleep.

It turns out that no one came to find me if he was holding you or accompanying you!

Zhu Youxiao gently patted Xiaobai's big head, and the cat shook his head, then lay on Zhu Youxiao's thigh and started to fall asleep.

"Emperor." Liu Ruoyu hesitated for a moment, but still read the title book. "The doctor of the Ministry of Revenue Chen Tingyang reported: I first tried two ships and tried them out, and then sold the fields and got twelve ships..."

After Chen Tingyang bought the ship at his own expense, he reported to the Governor of the Valley Transportation, but received a reply that there was no ship or grain in Jiangnan. He only gave him five hundred stones of red rice from Shanyang County, Jiangbei, which was far less than the 20,000 stones previously set.

It was originally agreed that he would wait for the Miaowan sea boat to arrive and set off with Shen Tingyang's fleet. Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than ten days, he had to go out to Huai to worship the sea and start a journey north.

Zhu Youxiao was gently slapped in his heart, and was a little worried about the safety of the fleet's navigation. After reading the date of the question book, he calculated the time and felt that it went smoothly, and he would get the news nearby in a few days.

"No matter whether this sea trial is successful or not, I will be promoted to the position of Chen Tingyang." Zhu Youchao explained to Liu Ruoyu: "You remember this, don't forget to remind me."

Chen Tingyang is a good example. He piloted shipping for "forget your family and donate money, and you can afford it yourself", which shows that he is sincere in serving the country and loyally.

The ruling and procrastination of the canal transportation yamen, asking for ships without ships and grain without food, does not just despise sea transportation. The more important reason is that sea transportation has probably affected the way of making money by a group of traitors and traitors filling each other's belly.

That's right, that's it.

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and was about to be demoted or dismissed, or to replace a group of officials.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were already many problems and holes. Many people can see this clearly. However, every time the pros and cons is prospering, there are many obstacles.

For example, Sun Chuanting's "Qingtours and recharges the salary" and Lu Xiangsheng's "Food Food" are all good strategies to save the country, which can at least last for a few more years.

But how can those interest groups honestly suffer losses, either slap their chins, clamor, resist, or trip up. What national security is nothing compared to their interests?

If he was like Chongzhen who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, he might have been fooled by those civil servants who were full of generous and righteous words.

But Zhu Youzao is different. He may not be able to distinguish who is good or bad.

But there is a principle that must be adhered to. The one who blocks his reform is the bad guy. No matter how beautiful it is, it will not work even if it is a mess.

At this moment, Wang Tigan sent a secret box, and Zhu Youxiao suspended the reading of the question book.

He looked at Zhang Yu'er who was still sleeping on the table. Zhu Youxiao felt something was wrong with this girl, so he asked Wang Ti to call the imperial doctor over and ordered the palace servant to cover Zhang Yu'er with a blanket.

"Your Majesty, I'm asleep again." Zhang Yu'er was awakened, rubbed her eyes embarrassedly, and came over to hug Xiaobai.

"If you are sleepy, go back to the warm room to sleep." Zhu Youxiao did not blame him, but instead ordered with concern: "Go, I will summon the ministers, it is not convenient for you to be here."

Zhang Yuer hesitated for a moment, bowed to take the order, and retreated with Xiaobai in his arms.

Zhu Youxiao opened the secret music box, took out Mao Wenlong's secret music, and read it.

According to the secret memorial, Mao Wenlong believed that the soldiers had been trained almost completely, and it was time to use war instead of training to allow the new recruits to adapt to the battlefield.

Moreover, the Later Jin Dynasty cannot be stopped like this. After reconnaissance and spying, Mao Wenlong has selected the target of the attack and will take action soon.

This is not a request for advice. Zhu Youxiao did not want to remotely control the command. Even Yuan Keli, who directly controlled Mao Wenlong, did not ask the Dongjiang Army to report everything before the operation.

Zhu Youxiao had no objection to this, and encouraged and praised it in his reply, and reminded Mao Wenlong not to pursue big battles, and to harass him continuously, and accumulate small victories into big victories, which is also a tactical way of playing.

After processing this secret memorial, Zhu Youxiao remembered the "Defending the Lonely City" tactic that Xiong Tingbi secretly wrote a few days ago.

Thousands of soldiers were stationed in a city, hoarding enough food, grass and supplies. However, when they were besieged by the Later Jin Dynasty, they did not rescue them, so that the defenders could fight to the end, and how many enemies they could defeat were counted.

Zhu Youxiao thought it was inappropriate at the time, thinking that if this style of playing was done, why would it have to shrink to Ningyuan? Wouldn't it be better to just stay in Guangning?

But after these days of continuous thinking and research, Zhu Youxiao now feels that it is not bad.

As Xiong Tingbi said, the city you must guard against should not be too big, and there will be no residents, so there will not be too much food, grass and supplies required.

A size as large as Guangning naturally does not meet the conditions. The city is too large and requires a considerable number of defenders, which is not easy to defend.

But if it is as big as Xiping Fort, three thousand horses should be able to defend it.

Of course, the weapons that the defenders should be equipped with should be mainly muskets and supplemented by a certain number of artillery, and a simple grenade car is also good.

Although it is morally unreasonable and even cold-blooded to not support or rescue, if it can be successful, it is still very cost-effective from the perspective of the war loss ratio of the entire war.

To put it bluntly, if it took five years to wipe out Jiannu, hundreds of thousands of casualties might have to be paid. However, this "stop defending the lonely city" tactic will not exceed the overall price at the worst.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao wrote another secret letter to Xiong Tingbi.

He still had some mixed ideas about defending the city and the street fighting after the city was broken.

He even thought about whether he could lure Jiannu into a city, causing him to lose his advantage in field cavalry and shooting, and then use street fighting to kill and damage a large amount.

Of course, the weapons used in street combat also need to change. In addition to muskets and grenade vehicles, the good thing of grenades appeared in Zhu Youxiao's mind again.

After writing the secret letter, Zhu Youxiao did not rush to deliver it immediately.

Although the production of muskets has been greatly improved due to the high-carbon tools, there are also many border towns. After sharing, it will take at least several months to make the number of equipment in the Liaodong army meet the standard.

He got up and moved his lower arms and legs, and Zhu Youxiao walked around the hall casually.

Wang Tiqian suddenly ran into the hall with a happy face, and knelt at Zhu Youxiao's feet with a plop, scaring the young emperor.

"I congratulate the emperor and congratulate him." Wang Tigan kowtowed heavily, and even his voice trembled with excitement. "Miss Yu'er..."

…………… Dividing line………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the warm sunshine, the sea presents a peaceful and peaceful scenery, making people forget the stormy waves that once were.

Chen Tingyang stood at the bow of the boat, holding a telescope to look, and his body and mind were finally able to relax.

I went out of Huai to worship the sea on the first day of June and waited at Yingyoushan for three days, but I didn’t see the Miaowan sea boats, so I took advantage of the wind on the sixth day of July.

Passing Lingshan, Xuejia Island, Huaizikou, Laoshan, and then turning into a mountain, passing through the most dangerous place of Shihuang Bridge. On the 13th, we encountered another hurricane. When the weather clears and rains, we saw Changli Mountain, the route was already northerly.

Then he headed westward, and the fleet finally approached Dagu, Tianjin on the fifteenth day.

If you weren't a hurricane, you could have two to three days ahead of schedule. Even at this current speed, it is much faster than the canal transportation.

Of course, the risk is greater than the canal transportation. Near Xianglao Mountain, there are dense reefs, and it is difficult to move and moor.

However, after this trial voyage, Chen Tingyang strengthened his determination to transport sea. In his opinion, as long as the route is clearly marked and the ship is driven by experienced ships, the benefits of transport will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

As for encountering a hurricane, it is naturally inevitable, but it is not irresistible, and the probability of encountering it is extremely small.

If it is replaced by a larger and more nautical ship, it should be able to avoid reefs in the distant sea and its ability to resist wind and waves is more significant.

If the emperor said that the food and wages that aided Liao were first transferred to sea transportation. It was transported directly from the south to Dengzhou, and then to Pidao and Juehua respectively, which was more convenient and quicker than transporting to Tianjin.

Chen Tingyang put down his telescope and breathed a sigh of relief. He decided to go to the capital to meet again after landing in Tianjin.

"Young Master." Chen San came to report: "It will be coming to Dagu soon. If you transport the grain, do your best to do your best. Will you still take the shipping again in the future?"

Chen Tingyang looked at the old servant who had been following him for many years and was wandering in the wind, and naturally knew what he was thinking.

In order to transport grain this time, Chen Tingyang first bought 100 stones of grain at his own expense, and used two boats to "try it to make it difficult and twists and turns". After success, he sold all the fields at home, and then obtained twelve boats and prepared to increase the scale.

But with such an effort, what I got was perfunctory and exclusion, and the ship was not given or the food was not given. I heard that some people were secretly moving to transfer him to another place.

No one will feel comfortable with such an experience or rolling his eyes. Chen San is just holding his resentment, but there is a difference between master and servant, so he cannot tell it out in a straightforward way.

After a while of silence, Chen Tingyang smiled and said, "Third Brother--"

Chen San widened his eyes and hurriedly said: "Young Master, don't call him like this, kill the younger one."

Chen Tingyang said sincerely: "Since the Shen family traded in the north, the third brother has followed him. It has been nearly ten years now, right? He has appeared in the wind and waves and experienced hardships, so how can he not deserve such a name?"

Chen San still wanted to say humbly, but Chen Tingyang reached out to stop him and continued, "Although he came from a merchant, he admired the great loyalty of loyalty and righteousness. The sage king trusted him and simply defeated him. Even if he had many difficulties and hardships, he would still practice it to the end."

Alas, Chen San sighed and said, "Long live is a wise monarch, but the following officials-"

After pausing, Chen San shook his head helplessly and said, "Since the young master has decided, the old servant will naturally follow him to the end. However, when the young master sees him, he still needs to make a clear distinction so that he will suffer from such a coward in the future."

Chen Tingyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, third brother, I'll go to the capital to see Long Live. First, I'll pay for the service, and second, I'll ask Long Live to be the master."

"That's good, that's right." Chen San smiled, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Long live in the palace. If the young master doesn't say it, he wouldn't know how difficult it is for us."

Chen Tingyang nodded in agreement, but had no intention of complaining to you. He was just to reassure the old servant and comfort him.

With a smile on his face, Chen Tingyang felt a little bitter in his heart. He just hoped that long live would show his attitude of continuing to promote shipping, so that the officials below would make less trouble.
