When Xu Erxian heard this, he asked in confusion: "Prince, are you talking about the two ships taken away by the prince? Just this, there are only two more!"

When Shang Kexi heard this, he couldn't help but feel speechless. If there were only two more ships, would he say that?

On the other hand, Ban Zhifu also misunderstood and asked in confusion: "The emperor has concentrated all the warships here, and there are no other islands? Moreover, our Qing Dynasty has no shipyard, where can we get the ship from?"

Seeing that they couldn't remember, Shang Kexi smiled and said, "Don't forget that North Korea has a navy. Now it has surrendered to my Qing Dynasty. As long as the emperor gives his order, he asks his navy to send troops and join me under my command, wouldn't there be many warships in one go?"

In the past, when North Korea was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, in the Battle of Sarhu that attacked Liaodong, it sent more than 10,000 musketeers at the will of the Ming Emperor, but the combat effectiveness was low and it did not use any use at all.

When Xu Erxian heard this, he was very happy at first, and then said in confusion: "Prince, just those Goryeo sticks are not boasting about the last generals. Even the last generals can fight against three. If they are included, it will only drag us down!"

"Yes, prince, be careful with them!" Ban Zhifu also advised, "Those Goryeo sticks are okay to fight with the wind. If they fight a tough battle, they will definitely drag us down!"

Shang Kexi heard this, but said a little dissatisfied: "First, I, the Qing Dynasty, do not have a shipyard, and it is impossible to build a ship by myself. If I really want to build a ship, I will know how much time it will take to build a ship; secondly, as long as the emperor issued an order, after getting from North Korea to the navy, I can train them personally. As long as the rewards and punishments are clear, the Koreans are also humans, and they can do it. Just like the Mongolians in the Qing Dynasty, and our Han army!"

During this period, both the Mongols and the Ming army were actually very low in combat. Every time they fought with Jianlu, they would not flee after hearing the news. Those who could persist in fighting were considered strong soldiers. It can be said that both the Mongols and the Ming army were so bad.

However, as long as the same Mongols and the same Ming army joined the Qing army, their combat power would be different immediately. This kind of thing is a very common phenomenon. The reason is what Shang Kexi said, rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. To be honest, the Qing Dynasty did the best in this regard compared to other forces!

Besides, after hearing Shang Kexi's words, Xu Erxian and Ban Zhifu couldn't help but be overjoyed. They clapped their hands excitedly and praised them repeatedly and said that this was a good idea.

So, Shang Kexi did not delay and did it as soon as possible. He immediately wrote a memorial to Huang Taiji and reported his ideas to the forefront.

In Shengjing, Huang Taiji was actually in trouble.

Because all the signs showed that natural disasters had already occurred in the Qing Dynasty, drought, and the harvest this year would definitely not be ideal, which made Huang Taiji very worried.

If it were the past, he would not be so worried. With Shanxi merchants, they could exchange their stolen gold, silver and jewelry for food and supplies in Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Shanxi merchants could also provide information from the pass, so that he could send troops to the pass with confidence to rob them.

However, there are no Shanxi merchants who are friendly to the Qing Dynasty. At least in a short period of time, it is impossible to obtain food and food from Jin.

In addition, there is another thing that made Huang Taiji a little worried. After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Tumote tribe in Hetao, it did not occupy the relatively fertile Hetao land.

Expanding territory is a temptation for any emperor. Logically speaking, since the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Tumote tribe, it should occupy Hetao. At least send troops to guard Guihua City, right? However, the Ming emperor did not send one soldier and one soldier out of the pass.

If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could send troops out, plant farmland in Hetao, or grazing, he could send troops to attack. Even if the Ming Dynasty stationed heavy troops in Guihua City, it was just an isolated city, he believed that it would be easy to defeat it.

However, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could withstand the temptation of expanding territory. This shows that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has indeed become powerful and is a difficult opponent! This made Huang Taiji dare not send troops rashly to invade the pass again!

Now the Hetao side has been occupied by the Urat tribe in the west. After cooking the raw rice and cooking rice, I sent a letter to Huang Taiji to explain the situation and want to obtain Huang Taiji's consent.

Although Huang Taiji didn't care about this, he was actually unhappy when the Urat tribe was tricked. Therefore, he also gave the Urat tribe an imperial edict, and wanted to occupy Hetao, but he had to join more tribes on the pasture where he was originally located to send troops to Ming Kingdom to prove the strength of the Urat tribe. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not mind putting Ezhe back and let the Chahar tribe occupy the Hetao territory again.

Of course, Huang Taiji's words were more of a threat. After all, Ezhe was the son of Lin Danhan and the descendant of the Golden Family of the Grassland. Since he had brought Liaodong, he would definitely not be able to be released.

Huang Taiji was thinking about these things, and suddenly heard the sound became louder, so he came to his senses and listened to the several Han officials talking.

Then Fan Wencheng said to him: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say when the Emmaster will have a result. Therefore, I thought that the hope of the Qing Dynasty cannot be suppressed on the Emmaster for the time being. Only by developing water conservancy and paying attention to agricultural affairs is the best strategy."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to discuss it!" Ning Wan and I followed, "For me, the Qing Dynasty, the current plan is the top priority, and we must pay attention to the farming work!"

In fact, the Qing Dynasty has always been a plundering force since its rise, and it has only changed slightly until Huang Taiji's generation. But overall, it is basically a plundering force.

However, now it is difficult to rob, so we naturally need to change. At the suggestion of Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others, we wanted Huang Taiji to tilt the resources of Liaodong towards agriculture. For example, to improve the treatment of farmers, at least they should be fed, and even give them certain rewards to increase their enthusiasm for farming. The development of water conservancy is not just a verbal statement, but to mobilize manpower and material resources.

After hearing their suggestions, Huang Taiji frowned and said, "I am short of supplies in the Qing Dynasty, just a little bit. If I lean towards agricultural affairs, what should I do in military affairs? No matter what, my Qing Dynasty established its country with martial arts, and martial arts are fundamental and cannot have any impact. However, you and others are right. If you don't pay attention to the agricultural affairs, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be unbearable for me to bear the blow to the Qing Dynasty's national strength!"

His meaning is very obvious. Force cannot be abolished, and agricultural affairs must be paid attention to, and resources are limited, which makes it a bit of a headache.

The Qing monarch and ministers began to discuss how to allocate resources?

At this time, Shang Kexi's memorial arrived.

When Fan Wencheng heard the sound of the guards' reports, there was no change in expression on the surface, but he was still a little sad: Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and this Shang Kexi, who joined the Qing Dynasty, all of whom were all named kings one after another. Even the coat slave Wu Zhong suddenly turned over to become the emperor's son-in-law. And he was just a title of Grand Secretary. To put it bluntly, he was just a master of Huang Taiji!

If you want to be smart, who will you lose to? Even if you have courage, you can still be as good as those who have been granted kings and daughters. Alas, both civil and military affairs, but your fate is not favored by these martial artists, and you are overtaken by these martial artists!

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea, otherwise, he would change to the path of military generals. The emperor said just now that the Qing Dynasty established a country with martial arts, and martial arts was fundamental and could not have any influence. In this way, if he changed to the path of military generals, he would lose to them in the future. Just this, he was still named King Zhishun! Haha, is it good that he is both civil and military?

While Fan Wencheng was thinking, Huang Taiji had already finished reading the memorial. Then, he frowned slightly and said to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan: "The meaning of King Zhishun is to expand the strength of my Qingshui Master. What do you think?"

Human instincts are afraid of the vast ocean. If you can choose, you will definitely feel down-to-earth and feel at ease.

In this era, there was no meteorological monitoring at all. Even experienced fishermen could not avoid the change of faces of the sea. Not to mention hurricanes, just the waves became bigger, so many people on the sea could never go back.

Not to mention Huang Taiji, even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was afraid of the sea and did not want to set foot in the sea to explore the unknown of the sea.

Therefore, after Huang Taiji read Shang Kexi's memorial, he instinctively resisted.

However, Shang Kexi also explained in detail in the memorial what benefits would the Qing Dynasty bring to the Qing Dynasty if the Qing Dynasty was strong. Therefore, Huang Taiji did not immediately reject it, but just wanted to listen to the opinions of the advisers again.

Fan Wencheng, who first received Shang Kexi's memorial, read it, and then passed it to Ning Wan. He himself seemed to be thinking and did not speak immediately.

In fact, Fan Wencheng is indeed thinking about things.

He was thinking that if the Qing Dynasty Navy had expanded and strengthened as stated in the memorial, the commander would naturally be Sun Kexi. After all, when he was in the Ming Dynasty, he had always been in charge of the Navy. The navy was strong, and Shang Kexi had greater real power. If he achieved what Shang Kexi had expected in the memorial, his power would probably be determined by the princes, let alone himself!

Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng felt a little more hostile for no reason. Fortunately, he was so cunning that even if he scolded Huang Taiji to death, he would probably flatter Huang Taiji with a smile on the surface. Therefore, he did not show anything.

He was thinking about how to give feedback to Huang Taiji.

At this moment, Ning Wan, who had finished reading the memorial, started to speak: "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be cautious!"

"Oh?" Huang Taiji heard this and just responded, asking for his reasons.

"Your Majesty, please think about it. Just as King Zhishun said, a powerful Qingshui Division was built!" Ning Wan, I immediately said respectfully, "But, the so-called unexpected situation in the sky. If you go to the Ming Kingdom and want to cross such a far sea route, the weather suddenly changes suddenly. If you are not careful, you will have to waste water. This is not an exaggeration for the slaves. When the former Yuan Dynasty conquered Japan, the first time, the hurricane suddenly arrived, causing the former Yuan Dynasty to lose nearly 20,000 military strength and about 200 warships. The second time, the former Yuan Dynasty sent nearly 200,000 troops, and the total warships reached more than 4,500. Such a huge navy was also wiped out by the hurricane suddenly arrived!"

Speaking of this, Ning Wan, I was very earnest and advised with a thoughtful expression for the Qing Dynasty: "Your Majesty, my Qing Dynasty's national strength is not as strong as the previous Yuan Dynasty. I can't afford it! I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of if I have any consequences. The stronger the navy, the more difficult the consequences will be. For the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, I must not agree to the proposal of King Zhishun!"

Huang Taiji had never paid attention to the sea before, so when he heard him, he was shocked. He had more troops and more warships than once, and he had no exception, and he was all destroyed by hurricanes. Such serious consequences, as Ning Wan said, he could not afford it at all.

However, he turned to look at Fan Wencheng and asked with a little suspicion: "Fan Qing, is the defeat of the former Yuan Dynasty really what Ning Qing said?"

"Your Majesty, this is recorded in historical books, and it is true!" Fan Wencheng felt very happy for some reason and immediately responded respectfully.

Hearing this, Huang Taiji had no doubts anymore. After thinking for a while, he picked up the imperial pen and gave an instruction to Shang Kexi's memorial.

Needless to say, he definitely disagreed with Shang Kexi's suggestion. However, the reply was rather tactful, and he just told Shang Kexi that there are about fifty warships that can almost protect the Ming Dynasty merchants and the Qing Dynasty. I will talk about other things later.

Of course, in order to relieve Shang Kexi, Huang Taiji also reluctantly transferred some supplies to let Shang Kexi repair warships, build ports, and train naval masters. At least it is a step further than abandoning the naval master before.

After the approval was completed, he asked someone to send it back to Jinzhou quickly.

At the same time, on the tip of the Shandong Peninsula, there is Liugong Island. The area of ​​this island is not large, only more than three square kilometers, and the coastline of the island is only about 30 miles long.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was mainly transported by canals, and few ships came and went. Therefore, it was only occasionally that there were ships docking and resting on Liugong Island.

But this time, two large ships docked together, allowing all the pitiful residents on the island to come and see it.

However, strangely, the people on these two ships hid in the cabin and did not come out, nor did they get on. Only a few people got off the boat and got on the shore.

The man in the leader spoke better than anyone else in the Ming Dynasty. He asked an old man in the crowd on the shore, "Master, is this Liugong Island?"

Hearing this accent, the old man did not dare to neglect it, and quickly replied, "This is Liugong Island."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, immediately came to a conclusion: It turned out that Wu Zhonggang had ascended Liugong Island!
Chapter completed!
