The Jilin Shipyard is located in a place called Ashhada on the banks of the Songhua River. The cliff writing monument is on the mountain on the north bank of the Songhua River. It records the incident of Liu Qing, the commander of the Liaodong Dushi in the Ming Dynasty, leading his army here to build ships and transport grains and repairing the Dragon King Temple twice.

"Jiachen Dingmao Chou. General of Cavalry, commander of Liaodong Dushi Liu. The year of Shijiu in Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, the year of Xinchou is auspicious in the first month of Xinchou."

"The Chief of Shipbuilding Officer of the Imperial Commission, General of the Cavalry, commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander Liu Qing, led the army here in the 18th year of Yongle, led the army here in the first year of Hongxi, and led the army here in the seventh year of Xuande..."

Mao Wenlong looked at the cliff carvings, narrowed his eyes slightly and gently his head.

Liu Qing was originally an unknown figure, but he had entered the Nuer Gandusi three times, but it was recorded in history.

Turning around and leaving the cliff, Mao Wenlong, accompanied by Zhang Pan and other generals, climbed up the mountain, looked at the Dragon King Temple, and then raised his telescope at the top of the mountain and looked at the neatly arranged warships in the river.

"Twenty giant ships have been built now, and only five were missing when Biyishiha expeditioned to Nuergandusi." Mao Wenlong put down his telescope and said to Zhang Pan in admiration: "The situation in Jilin Prefecture, which I saw along the way, is quite good."

Zhang Pan bowed and said, "Walking north along the Songhua River, spring monsoon is the most suitable. If you can harvest this year, and wait until the expedition next spring, the giant ship will exceed 30, and military rations can solve most of the problems."

Mao Wenlong nodded with a smile, patted Zhang Pan's arm gently, bowed to Nan, and said, "Long live and have a new plan. Jilin Mansion may have to be consolidated for another year. Well, go down the mountain, let's talk as we walk."

Zhang Pan accompanied Mao Wenlong, walked down the mountain, found a gap, and asked, "There are 26,000 new soldiers stationed in Jilin Prefecture, and the troops to attack and loot from the north should be enough. If you are worried about the supply of materials, you will have to be sure after the autumn harvest, right?"

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "It's too early to be sure, but you might as well analyze and judge."

After pausing, Mao Wenlong looked at Zhang Pan in a relatively good manner and said, "The Northeast Fleet is about to be established, belonging to the Liaodong Military Region, and the anchorage is located in Lushun."

Northeast Fleet? Not Liaodong Fleet.

Zhang Pan lowered his eyes and thought, the difference in name was obviously not casual, and it should have some profound meaning.

Mao Wenlong gave a brief reminder and said, "The court also borrowed the Busan Port from North Korea, where the Northeast Fleet can dock and replenish supplies."

Zhang Pan's eyes lit up, and finally thought about it and said tentatively: "The court will go straight to the old land of Nuergandusi from the sea, Tumen River and Heilongjiang River, these two estuaries should be these two sea entrances."

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "That's true. Although it's just a concept, it's not difficult to realize it."

The Northeast region needs to go out to sea, one is the estuary of Heilongjiang River, and the other is Hunchun at the estuary of Tumen River. From the estuary of Heilongjiang River, you can also enter the Songhua River.

Whether it is the blockade on the river, the cutting off the retreat of Jiannu's northward rush, or the purpose of better developing the water transportation of the Northeast, Heilongjiang and Songhua Rivers, as well as the sea transportation along the river and into the sea, they are also very important.

"Jilin Mansion has been consolidated for a year. Do you want to wait for the Northeast fleet to prepare and attack Jiannu from north to south?"

Zhang Pan believed that the difficulty of the army heading north was the transportation and supply of materials and supplies, and this year's bumper harvest could be solved, and the fleet's preparations should not be completed so quickly, and it will only be delayed for another year.

Mao Wenlong pondered for a while and said, "There are other reasons for the delay in the northward advance for one year. The court must use troops in the southwest. If everything goes well, the northward advance may be carried out normally."

If the confrontation against Myanmar goes smoothly, the price is not high, and there is a lot of rewards, the northward advance will not be affected.

Faced with the great disaster, the court's enthusiasm for the advance to the north to destroy slaves seemed to have diminished. Of course, it did not stop completely, but there were signs of slowing down the pace.

Zhang Pan thought about it and understood the reasons for making such a decision. The investment in disaster relief is quite large. The two strategic directions of moving north and south depend on which one invests less and gets more.

If Liaodong can solve the problem of food, grass and materials alone, or most of them can solve the problem, it will have the confidence to continue to act, and the court's finances will probably be able to provide support.

However, the natural conditions in the Northeast are definitely not comparable to those in the South. I heard that there are two or three cooks there every year. The harvest of grain alone can reach the northeast for two or three years in a year.

"Step progress is not stagnant." Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Long live ambition has not changed. It is just that in the face of a major disaster, we must plan in a coordinated manner. As long as Jilin Prefecture is well built and can provide some food and supplies for the northbound tourism, the plan will be postponed for one year, so there is no need to be too anxious."

"I will save you the loss." Zhang Pan replied respectfully: "The territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles long. Long live the whole world, how can you just focus on Liaodong?"

Mao Wenlong lightly said his head and didn't say anything in detail.

As an old man from Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong still trusts Zhang Pan's abilities as he follows his confidants. He is no longer as rude as other generals, Zhang Pan is a scholar and has a better future in development.

After pacifying Liao, many elite soldiers and generals from Dongjiang Town were drawn to enrich and strengthen the defense line in the north.

Not many people who stayed there were Zhang Pan and others. However, Huanglong and others were born in western Liaoning and were controlled by Mao Wenlong, but they were still much worse in terms of feelings and intimacy.

This is normal. Mao Wenlong has his own ideas and does not resist it. It has been like that in all dynasties. If the generals in charge form cliques, they will inevitably be suspicious and suppressed.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong thought this was not bad, and his positive attitude made him feel at ease, and he didn't have to worry too much.

Although many of his generals had changed, his military command was not hindered. That was enough, and he did not have the courage or idea to hold on to his own troops.

To expand territory for the country, make Long Live happy, your title will be promoted again, and you will be satisfied only when you become a marquis.

Since there is a goal to strive and room for growth, Mao Wenlong will naturally pay great attention. Not only him, but most people think this way.

This is a normal psychology. Who will live well and not be forced into a dead end, and will have extreme thoughts and take action?

"Shiping, Siping also needs to build ships. Should we transfer some people from here?" Zhang Pan felt that it would be postponed for one year anyway, so there was no need to worry about building ships. It would be better to support the Grandmaster first.

Siping is also a newly named place of the imperial court. It is located at the junction of Liaoning Province, Jilin Prefecture and Mongolia, and is an important transportation hub.

Mao Wenlong could not stay in Shenyang forever. With the Ming army advancing northward, Shenyang was too far behind and was not suitable for being a military command center.
