Taichang finally has no shortage of money now.

The Ming Dynasty Money House has opened more than twenty cents, and the silver notes he can print are already tens of millions of taels, and the grain in Liaodong is about to be harvested.

Sun Chengzong had long heard good news that once the grain was harvested in Liaodong, the 200,000 troops would be enough to eat for more than a year. There was no need for the court to mobilize grain. Just the court would give some money, and the 200,000 troops would be gathered to fight!

At this time, the transformation speed of the wheel boats was also accelerating. The number of wheel boats transformed by the Ministry of Industry has reached more than 200, and it can transport 5,000 soldiers to the North Korea of ​​the vassal state in one go. The Shenji Camp also has 20,000 fully equipped soldiers, and can deal with Jiannu independently.

In addition, there are also news about the war horses in Shenwu Camp. Tea in Sichuan is gradually regaining production capacity. The tea and horse markets in Tianquan Liufanzhan, Ganzhou Town, Yulin Town and Xuanfu Town have also been opened. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue are organizing people to transport tea in exchange for war horses. I believe that tens of thousands of war horses will be collected next year.

At that time, it would be 20,000 iron-armored cavalry and 30,000 well-equipped Shenji Camp soldiers. They could launch two-sided attacks on Jiannu and eliminate them in one fell swoop!

Therefore, Taichang decided to personally lead the navy under Shenji Camp and Yuan Keli to the Jurchen tribe in Haixi to take a look. One was to find a suitable place to build a port, and the other was to prepare for attacking Jiannu next year.

As for the rebels in Shanxi and Henan, it doesn’t matter much that they have to make them crazy for a year. Anyway, there is Shenwu Camp guarding the capital west of the capital, so it is impossible for the rebels to rush through the defense line of Shenwu Camp to the capital.

As for the vassal kings in Shanxi and Henan, if the thieves dare to kill them, they will kill them. These vassal kings should be killed!

So, after Taichang ordered Yuan Keli and Qi Jin to prepare, he began to transport the soldiers of Shenji Camp to the vassal state and North Korea.

At this moment, there were more than 200 wheels and boats, and the speed of the troops was transported was extremely fast. More than 200 wheels and boats were transported day and night, and with the help of Yuan Keli's naval warships, in less than a month, 20,000 fully equipped soldiers of the Shenji Camp had been transported to Luojin Port, north of North Korea, in less than a month.

This time, it was mainly to build fortresses and ports, not to launch an attack on Jiannu. It was enough to have 20,000 well-equipped Shenji Camp soldiers to protect them. Therefore, Taichang did not continue to transport the remaining 20,000 Shenji Camp infantrymen.

After more than 200 ships returned to the capital again, he set out with a group of accompanying officials, a group of escort masters and a 5,000 imperial guards.

At this moment, they still dare not travel across the sea because the wheel boat is too small. Once they encounter a sea storm, they will inevitably be blown away.

The entire fleet could only travel along the coastline. After Tianjin Wei went to sea, it drove along the coastline to the southwest to the Lai Shui City, then arrived at Jinzhou Wei along a series of islands, then arrived at Zhenjiang City with the coastline, and finally circled around the country of North Korea, and drove to Luojin Port along with the coastline.

Originally, if they could travel straight across the sea, they would have to sail for more than 2,000 miles in just about three or four days, but after this turn, it turned out to be more than 3,000 miles, so they drifted on the sea for nearly five days!

That afternoon, a string of black dots finally appeared on the coast in front of the fleet, which was the navy fleet led by Yuan Keli. The Luojin Port, a country-owned North Korea, finally arrived.

Taichang raised his telescope and looked at the black dots in front, then looked at the hull of the wheel boat, and couldn't help but sigh: "Liangfu, it would be great if we had huge tower ship gunboats. If we drove the tower ship gunboat across the sea, we could save at least one day of time along the way."

Wang Zheng said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, isn't this rubber not enough? You are in a hurry to transform the wheel boat, otherwise, I will start to try to make the building ships and gunboats."

Uh, this one.

Taichang patted his shoulder and smiled, "I just sighed, it's not that your development speed is too slow. We need a large number of fast ships at this moment, and the tower ship gunboats are definitely not built in one or two months. I have no choice but to transform the existing wheelboats first. Don't worry, when the Spanish deliver the goods next year, you will not be short of rubber or copper. Then you can show your skills and develop the tower ship gunboats."

Unexpectedly, Wang Zheng couldn't wait, "Your Majesty, do you have to wait until next year? In fact, it is quite time-consuming to build the dock and shipbuilding waterway. We see that the terrain near the estuary of the Haihe River is good, so why don't we build the dock and waterway there this year. In this way, we can start to build the hull frame in the spring next year. Once the Spanish rubber and copper are sent over, we can install steam engines and water wheels."

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, you can do this. Anyway, it's not a bad money now, so there is still money to build a dock and waterway."

When Wang Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but look excited. He was so anxious that he wanted to go back to the Tianjin ward to choose a site and start building a dock and waterway.

It was at this time that Yuan Keli also led the navy fleet to meet him.

After a while, Yuan Keli and Qi Jin boarded the handsome ship where Taichang was on an eight-clawed boat.

After the monarch and ministers greeted each other, Yuan Keli solemnly asked: "Emperor, do you want to notify the officials of the vassal state that you are here?"

this?

Taichang thought about it, but shook his head and said, "Forget it, I am here to choose a location for the fortress and port this time, and I have to think about how to attack Jiannu from both sides. There are so many things to do. Don't notify the officials of the vassal state this time. When the king knows, it will be a little trouble if he insists on coming to pay a visit. I don't have time to wait for him at Luojin Port."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Keli hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand."

Soon, the handsome ship leaned on the dock of Luojin Port.

At this moment, Luojin Port was just a small fishing port. It originally had only one small dock with fishing boats, and it was not suitable for a large number of warships to dock.

Fortunately, Yuan Keli had already summoned the subjects of nearby vassal states to build a dock. More than ten brand new docks have been completed, and more than ten docks are under construction.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but curiously said, "Liqing, why did you ask them to build so many wharfs? These ten wharfs are enough, right?"

Yuan Keli quickly explained: "Weichen is asking them to practice their skills. After all, what we are going to build next is not only a dock that is docked with such small warships, but also a dock that is docked with ocean-going sailboats. Most of these subjects of the vassal state are novice. If such a small dock is not built well, we are really afraid that they will not be able to build the large dock there before the Spanish fleet arrives."

Oh, it turns out to be a practice.

OK, they are idle anyway, so it’s better to let them practice their hands.

Taichang didn't care about the vassal officials who were welcomed, so he asked Yuan Keli to deal with it directly, while he led a group of entourage to follow Qi Jin to the Shenji Camp next to him.

In the tent of the commander, Qi Jin had already prepared a magnified map of the Haixi Jurchen tribe and the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe.

Qi Jingang spread out the map, and Taichang was stunned.

In the past, he saw all the pictures of Nuergandusi.

The jurisdiction of the Nuergandu Division is so big that it is so big that it is so big that the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe and the Haixi Jurchen tribe just occupy a small corner on the map.

To be honest, he really couldn't see what this small corner looked like in such a larger area than three or four provinces.

As soon as he saw the enlarged version of the detailed picture, he immediately realized.

Isn’t the protruding little sharp corner under the Haixi Jurchen tribe the peninsula where Vladivostok is located in later generations?

Now, there is no need to find the location of the port, just build the port on the peninsula where Vladivostok is located in later generations.

Moreover, there is another advantage in building a port on the peninsula, that is, it is easy to defend.

If the port is built on the edge of a large land area, there will be three sides of the area that needs defense, and there will be only one side of the area that needs defense on the peninsula.
