Chapter 413: Shi Lang
Emperor Yongli
After a stick of incense, Li Guang's broken steps came in: Guang's bow to the emperor. Long live my emperor."
Kangxi sat back on the chair with a solemn look on his face: "Get up."
Li Guang: "Thank you, Emperor."
"What's going on in Baiyangdian now?"
Li Guang bowed and replied: "Now the warships on the water surface of Baiyangdian are full of warships. Sailing for a hundred miles. Under the training of General Tuhai, the navy men are all fierce and fierce. They are just waiting to serve the emperor."
Kangxi looked desolate and owed a word. Obviously, he said this: "I heard these words and my ears were calloused. Say something useful."
Li Guang owed slightly: "When Weichen died, Weichen went to Baiyang, he did see such a scene. He would never dare to hide it from the emperor." Li Guang paused. He was only thirty years old now. Although he was wearing a box hat and an official uniform, he still looked like a white Facebook: "It's just that Bai Yang is just inside. After all, the new ship is huge. It is very difficult to train. If you want the navy to experience actual combat, you have to go into the sea."
Kangxi nodded. Li's first and then went to the point. In fact, this matter was also a knot in Kangxi's heart. It was just that the Ming army controlled the sea power. The Beiyang and Yang Navy's warships often harassed the navy along the coast of Shandong and Zhili, and let the navy go into the sea. It was so easy. If you were not careful, you might be wiped out. This was Kangxi's lifeblood. In order to build this navy, Kangxi used the silver from the inner palace. Once it was finished, he might not be able to stay in the pass.
"The emperor expelled the refugees and went south. The Ming army was in short supply of food. The navy in the Southern Ming Dynasty probably did not have much food or grass to deal with. It would definitely reduce the number of cruises and the number of fleets. The emperor would rather take this opportunity to choose a good port near the capital. It is better to be surrounded by mountains on three sides. Build more forts to defend against things on it. Then transport the warships from Baiyangdian to the bay to train. Only in this way can we train an elite navy, otherwise no matter what. The navy in the Qing Dynasty was just a large plate of the inland rivers." Li Guang said with emotion.
Kangxi stood up from his chair and said nothing. The navy was indeed a bit risky when he went into the sea. But if he didn't go into the sea, how could this navy be called a navy? I really remembered that Kangxi had heard of Li Guang. Recently, there was no Ming warship cruise harassment on the sea surface of Shandong. Could it be that it was really caused by the Ming army's shortage of food?
Now Kangxi has to decide whether the Ming army was a refugee, which caused the food and grass to be insufficient. If so, it was a great opportunity for the navy to go into the sea. He waved to Liang Jiugong, who was standing on the side of the side, and said, "Go and present the recent secret spies, you must not miss it."
Liang Jiugong received the oral order and went there quickly. Kangxi asked the eunuch to bring Li Guang's Jindun to let him sit under Sony Soetu. Liang Jiugong had already put a stack of memorials in his arms. The house was on the desk in front of Kangxi.
Although Kangxi had read these secret remarks repeatedly, he still thought about reading them again in order to decide whether it was true or not. Otherwise, if the smoke bombs deliberately released by the Ming army, it would be worth it. Kangxi opened the first secret remark and began to read them carefully. It was nothing more than that the Ming people could effectively resettle the refugees and could only leave them on the south bank of the Yangtze River. One million people could only eat three bowls of porridge a day to live. Despite this, most of the food rations were released by the Ming army in Jiangsu Province. Now the Ming army in Jiangsu can only eat a meal a day.
The secret remarks in the future almost continued this routine. The grain was transported from the Southern Ming Dynasty, including the national treasury and the food donated by the people. And the military regions have begun to put forward the slogan of surplus food and grass.
Kangxi looked at it carefully and threw one of them into Liang Jiugong's hands: "Let Lord Suo take a look."
Of course, people refer to Sony. Liang Jiugong held the letter and passed it to Sony. Sony looked carefully: "Emperor, whether there is food in Nanming is second. What is important is whether the navy in Nanming has enough food. The wind and waves on the sea are huge. The energy consumed is also very large. If the navy does not have enough food, the Ming army will definitely reduce the number and number of naval patrols."
Kangxi nodded: "|Why does Aiqing Suo mean?"
Ni stroked the long beard under his jaw and said, "What a slave means is that no matter what. We must take this risk. The Qing Dynasty's navy cannot go into the sea. No matter how the navy practices in Baiyangdian, it lacks combat experience."
Kangxi nodded and received Sony's support. He seemed to be more confident: "Since Li Guang's, do you think it is appropriate to set up a harbor to build fortresses?"
Li Guang stood up from Jindun and bowed and said, "Of course, Tianjin Wei is more suitable. It is the gateway to the capital. It has a great relationship. The Ming army's fleet often swims there. Once it lands from there, it can immediately besiege Beijing. Weichen passed by there when he entered Beijing for the exam. It is definitely the best harbor."
Kangxi nodded: "It's difficult to be Li
I thought of going together. Let me leave it to you. I ordered you to be water. I will supervise the construction of fortifications fortifications fortifications."
"I obey the order." Li Guang bowed, and then: "The emperor, I met Shi, the deputy general of the navy when I was in Baiyang."
Kangxi frowned. Shi was from Yakou, Longhu, Fujian. His ancestral home is Fangji Town, Gushi County, He Province. He was originally a general of Zheng Zhilong in his early years. In the third year of Shunzhi, he followed Zheng Zhilong to the Qing Dynasty. Soon, due to Zheng Chenggong's recruitment, he joined Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing team and became the youngest general under Zheng Chenggong who knew soldiers and was good at fighting.
Shi Lang followed Zheng Chenggong to Nanqin, Guangdong. Later, he raised objections to Zheng Zheng's strategy of "save water and land to raise military funds by plundering". Zheng Chenggong was very unhappy. He cut off the military power and ordered Shi Lang to return to Xiamen with leisure vacation. At this time, the Qing army successfully stole Xiamen. Zheng Zhi, the chief general of Xiamen, panicked and abandoned the city and fled. At that time, Shi Lang personally led more than 60 people around him to take the initiative to resist. He was unstoppable. The achievements of killing the Qing army's horses were almost captured alive. He led the remaining defeated generals to flee from Xiamen in panic. Zheng Chenggong, who was in the south, saw that the army was shaken. It was impossible to continue to move south. He had to go to Xiamen. Zheng Chenggong was forced to join the army.
He summoned the resistance generals to reward them all. However, he did not mention the "fake idle man" Shi Lang bravely resisting the enemy. He only rewarded two hundred silver. Shi Lang's left vanguard's military power had not been restored to his post. Many of the reasons caused Shi's dissatisfaction with Zheng. At this time, a personal soldier Zeng De of Shi committed a death sentence and fled to Zheng Chenggong. He was promoted to his relatives. Shi Lang captured Zeng De and prepared to be punished. Zheng Chenggong rushed to send someone to convey an order after hearing the news. Shi Lang did not kill Zeng De. Shi: "Lang dares not violate the law. How can a person who violated the law escape responsibility?" Then he ordered the killing of Zeng De.
Shi Lang killed his personal soldier Zeng De of the illegal soldier and angered Zheng Chenggong again. As a result, the conflict between Shi Zheng escalated. Zheng then ordered the arrest of Shi Lang and his son. Later, Shi Lang escaped with a trick. Zheng Chenggong was furious and killed Shi’s father, Daxuan and his younger brother, Shi Xian. Shi Lang was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He first served as deputy general of Tong'an and succeeded as general of Tong'an. Later, the Southern Ming Dynasty rose and the Zheng family was destroyed. Xi established a navy in Baiyangdian. He used Tuhai as the commander of the navy and Qilang as the deputy general of the navy. Baiyangdian practiced navy frequently.
The mankind is still quite admired by Shi Lang and Kangxi. The mankind is not familiar with water warfare. Only Shi Lang is a master. But the greater his ability, he is also very cautious about his Han status. Kangxi was still very cautious about Shi Lang. In his early years, Shi Lang and Zheng Zhilong were thieves overseas together. Then he followed Zheng Zhilong to the Qing Dynasty and then went to the sea - Zheng Chenggong. Now he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Such a history has made Shi Lang a capricious person in Kangxi's mind. Therefore, Kangxi would rather let Tuhai be the governor. Shi Lang was granted a deputy general who could not control any warship and could only advise Tuhai.
"Oh? What did Shi Lang say?" Kangxi was obviously very interested in this talented but very loyal Shi Lang.
Shi Lang asked the emperor to give him a thousand generals, to take charge of a warship, and to personally come to the battle, let him kill the thieves and make contributions to the service of his kindness." Li Guang's honest answered.
Xiye frowned: "Arrogance. What kind of decency is this? Will Shi Lang not know the simple truth of each performing his duties? I'm afraid he is dissatisfied with me and only let him be the deputy general of the navy. Humph."
Li Guang said: "What the emperor taught is that Shi is indeed a bit arrogant. I, the Qing Dynasty, are not a general who understands the navy. It's just..." Li Guang agreed with Kangxi's words first. Then he changed the subject: "It's just that Shi Lang is arrogant and has some skills. The Weichen, who he wrote to the memorial, also read the Qi Ce of Pinghai in the mansion. Cough cough... Weichen thought that Shi Lang was also eager to make contributions. In addition, he was irreconcilable with Jing. He always wanted to set sail for the South China Sea, break the sea capital, capture Yongli, Zheng Jing and other bandits. He asked the emperor to observe clearly."
Kangxi knew about Zheng Chenggong killing Shi Lang, a young man. This was also the reason why Kangxi used Shi Lang. When Li Guang mentioned this, Kangxi left a word. After pondering for a while, he said, "He is willing to be the general. I made his wish. He revoked his position and changed it to a guerrilla general in the navy. He commanded several warships and made meritorious service.
”
Kangxi said that he had just said it, and felt something was wrong. He looked at Li Guang: "The warships under his command were placed under the name of Tianjin Defense and Defense. They are specialized in protecting the safety of the harbor. They are under the jurisdiction of Li Aiqing."
Li Guang quickly thanked him. Kangxi was still not very relieved of this unrestrained naval general. He left him in Tianjin Wei and then placed him under Li Guang's subordinates. Naturally, he wanted Li Guang to take care of him. Li Guang knew in his heart that it was the emperor's trust in him.
