Chapter 515: T-shaped roll with Li character first

  Chapter 515 T-shaped roll with sharp characters first

"Master Qi, this is just a rough idea of ​​the student. How to operate it, there must be many strategies that need to be refined." Feng Ziying responded respectfully: "The student raised it today, but I hope that the court officials can use it from this aspect. For consideration, of course, how to implement it specifically should be discussed by professionals from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.”

Qi Yongtai took a deep look at him, "Ziying, don't push it out. Since you brought up this matter, the Ministry of Industry and Household Affairs will definitely come in, but many of them are unprecedented. I'm afraid you, the instigator, We need to come up with more ideas, which can also make this matter more efficient. Didn’t you keep saying that the situation in Liaodong is urgent? Then we must do it as soon as possible!”

There is no doubt that Qi Yongtai's words are very strong, and Wang Ziteng couldn't help but come out: "I report to the emperor, I have ordered the governor of Denglai Liaonan military affairs, but Denglai Liaonan maritime shipping has been abandoned for a long time, so it is Denglai. The fishermen in southern Liaoning also mainly fish in the coastal waters. Therefore, as Feng Xiuzhuan said just now, one must build a shipyard as soon as possible, and the other must first restore this route. There are many maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang, and many of them own large ships. If the imperial court can let him go north to help, this route can be quickly restored. Once the transportation line from Jiangnan via Denglai to Liaonan is opened, the supply of Liaodong will no longer need to go north from the capital to go to Liaoxi. This part is saved. It is also a great relief for the Ministry of War,..."

  According to the original intention of setting up the Governor of Denglai, the first task of the Governor of Denglai is to use the two prefectures of Denglai and southern Liaoning as the backup bases for the Jiliao front in the future.

And this premise is to restore the Denglai-Liaonan route, transport supplies, and even allow the Denglai navy to carry the Denglai army to land anywhere on the line from western Liaoning to southern Liaoning. Strengthen the maneuverability of the Denglai Army, and at the same time allow the Denglai Navy fleet to deter North Korea and Japan, protect and control the future trade lines between Denglai and North Korea and Japan.

  But the prince was disappointed when he arrived in Denglai.

Not only are the guards of the two prefectures of Denglai weak, the key lies in the fact that the Denglai navy fleet also suffered huge losses in the Luliang naval battle of the Imchen Japanese Invasion. Veteran generals such as Chen Lin and Deng Zilong have all passed away, and there is no one to take care of them. This group of sailors.

In the past ten years, the main defense focus of the imperial court has shifted to the defense against the Jurchen on land, so the navy is basically in a state of neglect and idleness. The remaining ships have been idle for ten years and are basically unusable. Thousands of people, but they have basically been reduced to soldiers guarding the forts of the coastal guards, so if you want to rebuild the navy fleet, the cost will be huge and unimaginable.

Of course, for Wang Ziteng, as long as he has money, rebuilding is not a problem. Although the thousands of navy soldiers are getting old, there are not a few experienced people. Although the senior generals have passed away, there are many middle and low-level officers Therefore, there are still some basics in terms of manpower, except for ships and shipbuilding workshops, which are the most important.

  He, the governor of Denglei, wants to make a career out of this position, and if he wants to make people realize that his prince Teng is not in vain, he must complete the task entrusted to him by the court beautifully.

In Wang Ziteng's view, the ambition shown in Feng Ziying's words today represents another sign of the civil service system. Well, it is different from Ye Fang who only value Jiangnan, but represents Qi Yongtai, The viewpoints of Qiao Yingjia, Zhang Jingqiu and other northern scholars and civil officials are exactly what Wang Ziteng needs.

   It can be said that in a sense, the future of his prince Teng and the goals of these northern scholars and civil officials are getting closer, and it may even be that both prosperity and loss will be lost.

  Wang Ziteng thought a little too much, or expanded Feng Ziying's point of view, but it doesn't mean that Feng Ziying didn't have this intention, but Feng Ziying's appetite was far greater than he imagined.

  North’s strategy to Jurchen, North Korea, and Japan is of course indispensable, but the south’s sea-opening and colonization is also indispensable. Therefore, in Feng Ziying’s view, sea-opening should be all-round sea-opening.

It's just that the conditions are immature now, and the conditions in the north are slightly inferior to those in the south. From a strategic perspective and timeline, the north is more important at present, so he advocates using the administrative resources of the imperial court to support the north as soon as possible Airline and all aspects of facilities are built first.

Moreover, Wang Ziteng also heard some wind direction from Feng Ziying's words, that is, Feng Ziying has already looked down on the ships and models of the Dazhou Navy, and thinks that Xiyi's ships and naval fleet models may have more development prospects , which also made him very curious.

He has been in the North, and has not had much contact with the merchants in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang, and he doesn't know much about the situation of the ships in Xiyi, but he knows that Feng Ziying has never spoken lightly, and he hits the mark when he speaks, so he values ​​Feng Ziying's opinion very much. .

Since Feng Ziying admires the model of Xiyi ships and naval fleets so much, there must be some strengths, and Feng Ziying's tone is to rely on this naval fleet to control the trade between North Korea and Japan. If there is no strong enough naval strength , North Korea is fine, but on the Japanese side, I am afraid it is not that simple.

So Wang Ziteng wanted to have a talk with Feng Ziying as soon as he came down. On the one hand, he wanted to learn from Feng Ziying what the civil officials in the Northland thought, and on the other hand, he really wanted to get a feel for Feng Ziying's views on the future prospects of Denglai and the navy. The long-term goal after the fleet is completed.

   Now that he came out to show his attitude to Emperor Yonglong, it was actually a disguised show of favor to Feng Ziying and the civil servants behind him.

  Emperor Yonglong, who was he, immediately understood the meaning of Wang Ziteng's words.

Feng Ziying’s series of suggestions in class today are really rich. Even Emperor Yonglong had expected that Feng Ziying would make a big move, but this point of view still taught everyone present a solid lesson. So much so that Emperor Yonglong couldn't figure out where did this guy come from with so many ideas?

Qi Yongtai is a square and upright scholar from the north. Although Qiao Yingjia is lively, it is impossible for him to think deeply into such economic matters. After all, they are all scholars, and it is impossible for them to be so familiar with business affairs. If you don't talk about it, you can still come up with so many new ideas.

"Wang Qing, the focus of today's court accounting meeting is Denglai-Liaonan's logistics supply support for Liaodong's defense. Feng Qing's idea is also groundbreaking, and it has never been tried or thought about by this dynasty or even the previous dynasty. , Feng Qing also said earlier that this is just a rough idea, how to operate it, I also think that there are many problems to be solved, and such things need to be discussed in the long run,..."

"... But today I also made it clear that the Denglai-Liaonan transportation line must be opened, and Denglai must become the most powerful backing for the defense of Liaodong. For specific matters, Ye Qing, Fang Qing, the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministries and even Denglai and Liaodong should work together to discuss carefully, so as to come up with a reliable and feasible strategy..."

  The court meeting is over.

   As soon as Feng Ziying walked out of the Meridian Gate, she was stopped by Qi Yongtai.

   "Master Qi."

  Qi Yongtai's expression was satisfied and a little relieved, and a little inexplicably complicated.

   "Well, Ziying, very good, well done."

   "Master Qi, it all depends on the teachings of you, Master Qiao, and the teacher." Feng Ziying respectfully.

Today, the limelight is getting bigger. From the last words of Emperor Yonglong, it can be seen that the emperor has also moved his mind. From the initial opening of the Denglai-Liaonan route to ensure the logistics support of the Liaodong military, it has expanded to control North Korea and Japan's trade routes, which in turn affect the entire strategy of North Korea and Japan came up.

The scope and benefits involved in this have expanded exponentially. Not only has the military's interest greatly increased, but it will also benefit the entire north, especially Shandong, Liaodong and Beizhili. It is no wonder that Qi Yongtai and Wang Ziteng have to go into battle shirtless I support Feng Ziying.

  Feng Ziying believes that once the court meeting is over, the whole court hall will swarm to move.

  Northern scholars see the future hope of monopolizing North Korea and Japan's trade and building Denglai and southern Liaoning into the north's sea bases, and can also win more attention and benefits for the north.

   Similarly, the scholars in the south also saw that the interests in the north are so great, so what should the south of the Yangtze River do?

A large number of Jiangnan merchants and sea trade merchants will be encouraged and attracted to go north. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Jiangnan gentry and merchants. After merchants go north, they may be bound to the interests of the north, and their spokespersons may converge with the interests of the northern scholars and civil servants, and then cooperate hand in hand. In a sense, they may even "betray" their original "attributes".

Of course, what is more important is that Feng Ziying put forward the need to control and expand in the new conception, as if he wanted to take the posture of a great week to rule the world, rather than the original simple etiquette and righteousness to educate the world, and the ambiguous attitude of Emperor Yonglong seems to be I am a little moved, and the cabinet ministers have different opinions, but it is by no means the original categorical opposition. So, can Jiangnan also use this strategy to manage and attack Nanyang?

If this is possible, it means that Da Zhou's foreign national policy has undergone a subtle change in terms of politics and morality. From the original shyness of mentioning the word "benefit", it will start to put "benefit" first, even if this "Profit" is more forced by the predicament and predicament of the imperial court.

  But as long as such a trend is opened, can Luzon, Ryukyu, Dongfan, Manlajia, Annan, and Dongwu all have a prospect?

  It seems that a better and broader world full of opportunities is slowly unfolding in front of the gentry and businessmen.
