A few days later, the governor of Denglai was in the yamen.

The Governor's Office is located in Penglai. The current Governor of Denglai is Yuan Keli, who took office in the second year of Tianqi.

Yuan Keli is one of the few practical people among the court officials today. He not only has ideas, but also puts many ideas into practice.

Zhu Youxiao's original idea was that Xiong Tingbi was in charge of Liao affairs and Yuan Keli was appointed as Denglai. Now the facts have proved that this idea is just right.

After Yuan Keli arrived in Denglai, the court also began to develop the Military Equipment Department in Shandong.

So far, Shandong is the area where the military weapon department has the most workshops built except for the capital. A large part of the new armor and ordnance sent to the Jiubian in the second year of Tianqi was from the workshops of the Shandong Military Weapon Department.

The Military Weapons Department was developed by the court itself, and the success of the reorganization of the Denglai Navy Division was inseparable from the current Denglai Governor.

Although the original Denglai Navy had hundreds of warships nominally, the actual situation was the same as the Fujian Navy in the first year of the Tianqi period, and the main force was Cangshan warships.

To put it bluntly, they are all just looking at but not using it. They look like flags are everywhere, but when they fight, they are all smelly fish and rotten shrimps, which are completely different from the Western fleet.

When Yuan Keli took office, the battle between the Fujian Navy and the Dutch East India Kung Fu Colonial Fleet had not been long since passed. Many people knew about that battle. The Ming Dynasty won, but it was a tragic victory.

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty had extremely high-quality naval generals. In order to defend the country, the navy officers and soldiers had a low morale, but they had no choice but to use the Dutch fleet.

Later, the Zheng family was temporarily recruited and used the Zheng family fleet with its strong naval combat capabilities to barely defeat the Dutch.

It was also the time when Zheng Yiguan was recruited, which allowed the Zheng family to develop extremely rapidly in the next two years, and now there are some signs of being too big to lose.

Not to mention the Zheng family, when Yuan Keli took office, he found that the situation of the Denglai Navy was slightly better than that of the Fujian Navy. There were about three or five small lucky ships "in service", but this was useless.

There is nothing to be happy about in the victory of the Penghu Naval Battle. Everyone, including Zhu Youxiao, was learning from the pain. What exactly made it so difficult for the victory of the Fujian Navy, which had an absolute advantage.

The reason is obvious, that is, the gap between ships and artillery makes it difficult for the hundreds of warships of the Fujian Navy to connect to the fleet close to the Dutch.

After learning from the pain, Zhu Youxiao has since decided to vigorously develop the navy, and has always responded to what Yuan Keli wants.

In the second year of Tianqi alone, the court gave millions of taels of silver to the Denglai Naval Division. After Yuan Keli took office, he had no intention of paying attention to the party struggles of his colleagues and devoted himself to the development of the navy and supporting Liaodong.

In the fourth year of the Tianqi revelation, with the complete victory of the Liaodong War and the sudden illness of the old slave, Liaodong was easy to attack and defend, and Xiong Tingbi led the Liao army to take the opportunity to fight back and recover the entire Liao Dynasty. The situation was very good.

The development of the Denglai Navy Division has also begun to show results. Among the navy divisions in various places, Yuan Keli's Denglai Navy Division was the most complete reorganization and has become a benchmark.

Starting from the second half of the third year of the Apocalypse, the Denglai Navy had completely eliminated the old Cangshan ships and small boats, and used the Xiaofu ships and the Dafu ships as the main warships.

This is just a level of improvement, but its importance to naval warfare is self-evident.

The Dutch warship seized in the Battle of Penghu was carefully analyzed by the Military Equipment Department. After a large investment and countless failures, it finally copied the powerful Western artillery - Zhenlu Cannon.

Now, the Zhenlu cannon has been used as the main artillery among the elite troops of the Nine-sided borders. As for the Denglai Navy Division, it is also equipped with a large number of Zhenlu cannons.

If the Battle of Penghu happens again, Yuan Keli dares to boast about Haikou, and the combat effectiveness of the Denglai Navy Division is not inferior to that of the coming Dutch fleet.

With the same ship level and artillery strength, the Denlei Navy will crush the Dutch fleet with its advantageous number of warships!

The years of development of the imperial court has not been in vain. It consumes tens of millions of military expenditure every year. The Military Equipment Department has studied day and night, and now it has seen the effect it should have.

However, Yuan Keli is also a human being and a minister.

As long as he is an official in the court, he will not be completely separated from disputes. This time he implemented the new salt law, and he clearly felt that he could not be out of the matter anymore.

Recently, news of turmoil in the two palaces of Denglai has been frequently reported, and people from all over the country seem to be very dissatisfied with the court's change of the salt law.

Their reason is very simple. Why didn’t the court give us a way out? We just wanted to sell salt and live. We couldn’t live. Do we have to wait for death?

Yuan Keli couldn't figure out what was going on, and he didn't know much about salt administration.

However, according to his opinion, the new salt law of the court, which built new salt farms in various places, and put coastal people into work for work in salt farms to make a living is very good, but why did it arouse their opposition?

Just when he was at a loss, a piece of news finally eased his tense nerves for several days. The court sent civil and military ministers to be in charge of salt administration, and he still knew these two people.

The civil minister was Wen Tiren, who had just been promoted to the Minister of Personnel, and the military general was Yang Zhaoji, the general of Shandong.

These two people showed great talents in the last earthquake. One was in charge of disaster relief, restoration, and restoration of people's livelihood. The other was in charge of military and generals, maintaining order in various places, and sending officers and soldiers to wipe out the rebellious bandits.

So since then, Wen Tiren and Yang Zhaoji have had extremely high popularity in the Shandong area.

Yuan Keli was relieved to send them down at this time because he knew in his heart that the court's policy this time was correct.

Since it is right, there are no worries.

......

On this day, Yuan Keli was in the Governor's Office to manage the government.

"Futai, Haiyang Salt Field has started again. The imperial court has not yet reached its will. How should we deal with it?"

"Once the situation expands, it will probably be too late to deal with it."

Looking at the anxious officials, Yuan Keli sighed. He didn't expect such a thing to happen when he came to be the governor.

People have their own expertise and what they lack.

What Yuan Keli happened to lack was his sensitivity to party struggles. He neither understood salt administration nor could he see the interests disputes therein.

"Wait a little longer, where is the minister in charge of the salt administration?" Yuan Keli did not answer positively because he didn't know what to do.

He was also afraid that if a policy was inappropriate, it would cause a chain reaction below, so it would be best to keep it as it is before Wen Tiren arrived in Shandong.

The official said: "I returned to Futai. The last time I heard that it was two days ago. Two days ago, the Minister of the Secretariat left Jining. According to the distance, it will take two days to arrive in Penglai at the earliest."

Yuan Keli nodded, his expression dimmed, and he opened his mouth and was about to say something, a clerk came quickly with a happy look on his face.

"Futai, dear lords, the minister is here! A large number of official troops led by General Yang are also here, and they are now outside the yamen!"

Yuan Keli was overjoyed and threw away the brush and said as he said:

"Invite them in quickly, no! I want to greet them in person. It's here, and finally it's here!"

Soon, Yuan Keli met Yang Zhaoji and Wen Tiren who were waiting at the entrance of Futai Yamen. Both of them clasped their fists and bowed their hands, and smiled.

Although their official positions are not low, the governor is also a chief official after all, so these etiquettes still need to be included.

Wen Tiren was invited into the governor's yamen. As soon as she sat down, she saw Yuan Keli sitting in the head and was frowning. She sighed and gave her a reassurance first, and said:

"Don't worry about Futai. I have heard a little about Haiyang Salt Field from the south of the capital. When Yang Shuai led his troops into Penglai, all the troops had already gone to Haiyang."

Yang Zhao has long been famous in the army, and now there are few generals from all over the country except the nine sides to be called a commander. He patted his chest and said:

"The Minister of the Secretariat said it is right. With these soldiers, Haiyang cannot make any waves."

"Mr. Futai only continues to train the navy and handle past government affairs. I and the minister were ordered by the emperor. I should ensure the implementation of the new salt law in Denglai!"

There is only one tonight, I’m a little busy. Please forgive me!
