Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 215 The Name of the Sea God
It was Taichang's first expedition across the sea, and he was really excited.

He has finally set foot on the old land of Nuergan Dusi, and from now on, this thousand-mile country will surely return to the embrace of Daming!
This Nuer Gandusi is really not that big, and it has a radius of more than ten thousand li. In the past, there were no less than a hundred guards here alone, but it's a pity that they are all deserted now.

Looking at the huge map in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion had landed, and they had built a small city with a radius of five or six miles on the north side of the harbor with chariots.

This small city not only blocked the entrance to the north, but also protected the camp in the middle from any invasion, so he went ashore with peace of mind, and came to the commander's tent to discuss the next step with a group of civil servants and generals.

What's next?

This harbor is already ready-made, and it is relatively simple to build the pier. It should not take much time or require too many people.

The next step is to build cities and fortresses.

However, it seems that there is no need to build any city near this harbor.

Because the entrance is so big, and there are continuous mountains next to it, it is impossible for the Jiannu cavalry to rush over the mountains and mountains. As long as a city wall is built to block the entrance, it will definitely be no problem to prevent Jiannu.

In other words, there is no rush to build cities or fortresses here, at least not right now.

So, where to build the city first?

Taichang looked at the map carefully, and then pointed to the Shuangcheng Guard Road marked on it: "Is there still a guard city here?"

Shuangchengwei is about [-] to [-] miles away from where they are, and it happens to be on the east side of the Mumian River, the nearest river in the north. After coming down, the Jiannu cavalry might not even be able to cross the Kapok River.

The kapok river is still very important to them, because there are no other rivers near the port, and there are no lakes. The fresh water for the [-] troops plus the [-] vassal youths who will be transported over depends on this river. .

If Jiannu occupied Shuangchengwei, they would have to use warships to fetch water, which would be very troublesome.

Unfortunately, the Acropolis of the Shuangchengwei is no longer there.

Yuan Keli shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Acropolis of Shuangcheng was built in the fourth year of Yongle. It has been more than 200 years now. According to reports from the scouts, the Acropolis has already been turned into ruins, and there are no people around."

Uh, well, more than 200 years have passed, and I don't know when it was abandoned.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Although the Acropolis has become ruins, the foundations are still there. Tomorrow, after the young and strong from the vassal state are transported here, [-] yuan will be allocated to repair the Acropolis. It will only be four or five miles around at most, and There is no need to dig the foundation, and [-] young adults should be able to repair it in a month, right?"

This question was asked by the accompanying Ministry of Industry officials, and at this time Wang Zheng was already the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

He just discussed in a low voice with a few officials from the Ministry of Industry, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's no problem, it will take about twenty days."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said to Qi Jin: "General Qi, you will lead 1 horses to the Shuangchengwei after a while, guard the east bank of the Mumian River, and prevent the Jiannu cavalry from crossing the river."

Qi Jin hesitated for a moment, but still cupped his hands and said: "Your majesty, your holy cavalry is here, and I may make mistakes if I lead the army away!"

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help laughing and said: "There are no people around here, what could be wrong? Don't worry, Jiannu doesn't have any naval warships anymore. As long as you block them on the east bank of the Mumian River, they won't be able to charge at all. Come here."

Ok.

Qi Jin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The final general will obey the order."

Immediately afterwards, Taichang warned again: "General Qi, this time you led the army here, guarding the port is just incidental, what you should consider is how to cooperate with the Shenwu Camp and the Liaodong Army to attack Jiannu on both sides. It is time to organize people to clean up the Jiannu, and then you can take advantage of Jiannu being attracted by the army from the west, cross the Mumian River directly, and go to steal their way."

Isn't this a great time to make meritorious deeds!
You know, at this moment, Jiannu is full of 15 cavalry, and the Liaodong Army and Shenwu Battalion can send at least 15 troops. Can Jiannu ignore the [-] troops?
That is of course impossible. Jiannu will definitely have to deal with the West Road army with all his strength, and he will take the opportunity to rush over at that time, and it will be easy to take down the Jianzhou Acropolis!
Hearing this, Qi Jin couldn't help cupping his hands excitedly and said: "The general understands, thank you, Your Majesty."

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "Well, by the beginning of next spring, it is estimated that another 2 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will be fully equipped. At that time, I will transport all [-] horses to you, and you only need to leave [-] infantry stationed here. Now, [-] chariots against [-] cavalry, no problem?"

That needs [-] chariots!

With the current equipment of the Shenji Battalion, 2 horses can fight Jiannu [-] cavalry.

Qi Jin repeatedly cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, there is no problem at all."

Taichang nodded, and said to Wang Zheng: "Liangfu, I won't get involved in the port and wharf matters. You must know better than me. However, regarding the defense of the port, I think it is more appropriate to build four forts around it."

Uh, what does that mean?

Wang Zheng couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you mean that you don't need to build a city to enclose the port?"

Taichang nodded and said: "Yes, building the city is too troublesome and unnecessary. You must know that in the future, the main battles will be guns and cannons, and the higher the cannon is, the farther the range will be. You can discuss it with a few of your men. , see how to build forts and forts against the mountains. Anyway, the port is surrounded by the opening in the north. You only need to build a fort against the mountains here, and then stretch out a city wall to block the opening. As for the other three forts , mainly to defend against attacks from the sea. There are several countries in Europe that have gunboats. If they come to rob this port, the city will not be of much use. Because the height of the guns on the city wall is the same as the height of the artillery on the gunboats. Almost, and the line of sight may be blocked, and only a fort built against a mountain can press down on a building, a boat, or a gunboat."

When Wang Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly said: "I understand."

Taichang nodded slightly, thought carefully, and then raised his hand and said: "Okay, let's stop here today."

What he meant was to let everyone go about their own work.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Keli suddenly cupped his hands and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this place seems to have no name yet. I dare you to give it a name. Otherwise, it will be difficult to write related official documents!"

This is indeed ignored.

This place doesn't even have a name, and it's really hard to write official documents. After all, this is a transfer of troops, people, and food, so there must be a specific place name.

Taichang knew that later generations here would be called Vladivostok, but this name always seemed strange to him, so he never mentioned it.

So, what is the name for this place?
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the Spanish envoy's words.

The Spanish Armada's five expeditions to England suffered heavy losses from sea storms!

And he borrowed the northwest wind with a single sentence this morning!

This is really hard to tell, who knows if it's luck or something?
I would rather believe what it has than do not believe it does not exist!

Thinking of this, he slowly got up and said solemnly: "This is called Sea God Port, I respect the name of Sea God, I hope the Daming Navy will have smooth sailing and everything will go well!"
