Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 219 The Denglai Incident

Perhaps the Ming Dynasty was in chaos for a long time, which also caused many people to lose respect for the law, which caused many abuses and cancers in various fields.

As a unified and centralized dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did have imperial power supreme. However, if you want to control the vast Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to rely on the emperor alone. This also makes the official-centered trend very popular in the Ming Dynasty!

As long as power loses control and supervision, no matter how determined a person is, there is no guarantee that he will not be affected. There are too many places where a human body can be tempted.

It’s okay to fight.

Fighting or not.

In the final analysis, it is to control the destiny of others! !

It will take some time to settle the aftermath of Xuanfu Town, and it will also take time to thoroughly investigate the scandals in Datong Town and Shanxi.

Thousands of miles away in Shandong.

Dengzhou Prefecture.

Penglai.

The waves are constantly washing against the coast, with white waves appearing. The blue sky and the sea are in a line, the high sun is dazzling, and the sea breeze is a bit warm.

A group of people are walking on the shore.

"Fortunately, Da Sima took up the post of governor of Denglai before and laid a good foundation for the two towns of Denglai. Otherwise, many things would be difficult to handle."

A middle-aged man wearing a crimson official robe, with a hint of emotion in his brows, was walking on the coast with his hands behind his hands, and the sea breeze was blowing his official robe.

"The military supplies, salt and oil, cotton cloth, bean feed, and other military supplies that were to be delivered to Dongjiang Town have all been shipped to Dongjiang Town without any danger. The errand assigned by His Majesty has been completed."

"Dongjiang Town is extremely important to Liaodong. Although it hangs alone on the sea, it can effectively contain the Jianlu from the sea. This is of great value for guarding the Liaoqian defense line!"

"What Futai said is true!"

The armored general who was following him said with a rich voice: "In the past, whether there were ministers in the court or local ministers, they all showed indifference to Dongjiang Town."

"Even on several occasions, the Dongjiang Army was dispatched to launch surprise attacks on the Liaonan guards. If we could get support from Tianjin, Denglai and other places, we wouldn't have to ask Jianlu to take back the recovered Liao territory!"

"Nowadays, Dongjiang Town is in the rear area of ​​Liaodong and still controls Dingliao Youwei, Zhenjiang Fort, etc., and even still holds some key points in the Kuandian Forts."

"With the stable supply of military supplies from our two towns in Denglai, the general will trust those men in Dongjiang Town to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Marshal Mao!"

When talking about this, the armored general became a little excited.

Since the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Saarhu, the Ming Dynasty has fought many battles around Liaodong, but won few and lost many. This is unacceptable to some people in any case.

indeed.

When it comes to Liao affairs, some people are indeed very greedy. They never care about Liao affairs and only want to gain benefits from it.

But there are also some people who are trying every possible means to regain the lost Liao territory, and even to win back the lost Mingwei! !

"Don't worry, the situation involving Liao affairs will be completely different from now on."

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, expressed emotion and looked at the sea in the distance, "With the emperor in charge of Liao affairs in Beijing, no matter whether it is the two towns of Denglai, Dongjiang Town, or other places, there will no longer be a shortage of food and wages. , and was forced to give up things that were beneficial to the country."

"Futai is right."

Denglai Commander-in-Chief He Huchen said in a sonorous tone: "The general will definitely get the Denglai Navy in order as soon as possible. If Liao affairs are involved in the future, our Denglai Navy will never hold back."

"That's good."

Sun Yuanhua lifted his robe sleeves and said: "For our two towns, Denglai, if we want to have a direct impact on Liao affairs, the Navy is the key."

"Although the naval drills in Denglai have inevitably slackened since Da Sima left the post of governor of Denglai, the foundation of this navy is still there. As long as we practice diligently and solve the replacement of artillery needed for sea-going ships, I believe that Denglai can The navy will definitely become famous in Liaodong!"

He Huchen nodded heavily.

If someone else had said this, He Huchen would not believe it, but He Huchen believed it only when Sun Yuanhua said it. The reason is very simple. After Sun Yuanhua came to Denglai to take office, he ordered people to gather guns under the rule of Shandong. Many craftsmen, such as gunsmiths, blacksmiths, and gunpowder makers, even recruited a large number of apprentices from the private sector to build many workshops in Penglai to forge the firecrackers and artillery needed by the army.

What even surprised He Huchen was that Sun Yuanhua found a new method from nowhere and forged a fire gun that could spontaneously ignite in the gun without using fire to ignite it, and then shoot at a specific area!

It took a long time for He Huchen to find out that this gun was called a percussion flintlock gun and it was made by the newly established Arms Bureau in the capital.

Even though Zhu Youxiao stayed in the capital and never left the capital, he even frequently started major cases and arrested a large number of traitors and scoundrels. However, some of the things he did in the capital had begun to affect some places.

“The next things we need to do in Denglai and Denglai towns are to prepare the army, gather food and grass, and take in refugees. As long as these things are done well, then in a short time our Denglai and two towns will see earth-shaking changes. "

While He Huchen was sighing with emotion, Sun Yuanhua said with firm eyes: "As long as the two towns of Denglai and Denglai can maintain their footing, it will ensure that Dongjiang Town has no worries, and the deterrent to Liaodong will be increased. To capture the Eight Banners, in addition to being wary of the Liaoqian defense line, we must also be wary of threats from the sea!"

"Futai, do you think those maritime merchants will be willing to help the governor's Yamen raise food and grass?" After hearing what Sun Yuanhua said, He Huchen thought of something, and he inevitably felt worried in his heart.

"If they refuse, the two towns of Denglai and Lai will be greatly affected if they want to raise food and grass. They may even provide food and grass to Dongjiang Town, including the supply of military food to the two towns of Denglai and the shelter of refugees. I'm afraid it will all be affected." There is unnecessary trouble."

"Don't worry, they will be willing."

Sun Yuanhua was not worried at all, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "They are smarter than anyone else. Maybe the price of grain shipped to Denglai towns has been lowered a lot, but from the salt prescribed, and even the food given by me, The promise is enough for them to make a lot of money."

"Merchant has always been unable to do so without profit."

"What's more, I also helped them connect the dots and gave them part of the best-selling colored glaze, soap and other products in Beizhili. This alone was enough to make them determined."

He Huchen frowned slightly when he heard this. He understood things involving commanding troops to fight, but for things like the above, He Huchen couldn't understand the stakes.

However, now that Sun Yuanhua has said this, the worries in He Huchen's heart have disappeared. As long as there is no problem with the grain and grass shipped to Denglai, then nothing can affect what the two towns of Denglai are doing now.
