Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 323 Wu Fama, I, Xuan Ye, are going to Moscow! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

Yang Qilong took the imperial edict issued by Kangxi to "send troops to North Korea to supervise state affairs" and left confidently.

But Kangxi returned to his south study and began to write to his "Wu Fama" to inform him that he had decided to conquer North Korea. But he held a brush and looked at the letter paper, but he didn't start writing.

Faced with the threat of the traitor Fuquan before, and he didn't know if he could save his life, Kangxi hugged "Wu Fama"'s thigh tightly without many psychological obstacles, but now he is doing it again. Sitting in the Palace of Qianqing again Inside is the emperor!Although the emperor is largely restricted by the meeting of kings and ministers, he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme after all. He always calls himself "Sun Xuanye" in his letters to Wu Sangui, which is really shameful!

This man was so lost, he didn't have the face to go to Yingtai Island to see Ama and Fuquan. Of course, if he didn't go to see Shunzhi and Fuquan, it also meant that these two people could continue to "cry blood" on Yingtai Island.

Kangxi is going, the two of them should collapse, die!
After all, tearing up the promise to Chang Ning and other ministers of state affairs also requires the support of prestige.

And this prestige can only be obtained through military victories
When he was wondering whether the prestige of destroying Li's North Korea was enough to send Shunzhi and Fuquan away, the eunuch guarding outside the South Study Room suddenly shouted: "Welcome to the Empress Dowager, Empress."

Kangxi quickly put down the brush, stood up from the chair, and walked towards the door of the South Study Room, and then saw Empress Yang with her big belly walking in with Bumbutai supported.

"My son respectfully invites the emperor's mother to be safe."

Kangxi gave the old lady a thousand salutes, and then sat on a chair with Queen Yang on the left and right.

The old lady had already seen a blank letter paper on Kangxi's imperial case and sighed: "Xuan Ye, are you writing a letter to that old Wu Sangui?"

Kangxi nodded: "Son'er wants to write a letter to inform him about my sending troops to North Korea by the Qing Dynasty."

"Well, it should be reported." The old lady nodded, "If you don't report, he will know. You not only need to report, but also make it clear to him that your prestige is not enough to hold back the situation, and you must send troops to conquer the situation." Liwei. And Daming is too strong, so I can only look for two soft persimmons, North Korea and Khalkha Mongolia.”

"Khalka Mongolia?" Kangxi was taken aback.

The princes of Khalkha Mongolia are not very respectful now. In fact, not only Khalkha Mongolia is disrespectful, but the host Mongolia and Monan Mongolia are also ready to move.As for Moxi Oirat Mongolia, they simply stopped paying tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

However, Kangxi still has no plan to attack Khalkha Mongolia, because he is very worried that once he attacks Khalkha, he will provoke Galdan from Oirat Junggar to compete for Mobei.

This will cause the Qing Dynasty to be enemies from both sides!
The old lady said: "Xuan Ye, it seems that you still don't regard yourself as the king of Daliao!"

"Huang Mama, what do you mean?"

"The king of Daliao is first the khan on the grassland, and then the emperor of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun!" Bumubutai said, "but you are the emperor of the four provinces of mountains and rivers first, and then the emperor of the prairie." sweat.

If you put the prairie above the four provinces of mountains and rivers, how can you tolerate the disrespect of Khalkha Mongolia and the centrifugation of Oirat Mongolia?For the emperor of Daliao, the status of Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo and Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing was always higher than Xijin Mansion in Nanjing and Datong Mansion in Xijing.The loss of Dongjing and Shangerjing means the collapse of the Liao Kingdom, and the loss of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will make the Liao Kingdom poor at best.

Besides, you always regard yourself as the monarch of the Central Plains, so why are Wu Sangui and Li Zhongshan in the south willing to tear themselves apart? "

Kangxi actually understood what Bumbutai said!

But he was the emperor of the Central Plains who was born in Beijing, unlike Bumbutai who was a Mongolian princess born on the grassland.

This thought cannot be changed at once!
But when Bumbutai said this now, his thinking became clear at once.

He can't always look at the great rivers and mountains in the Central Plains reluctantly!
Even if I can't let it go, I still have to put on a face that I'm not interested.

Otherwise, how could Da Ming and Da Zhou be able to fight with confidence?
If Ming Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty didn't fight, both sides would be hurt, no matter how much Qing Dynasty missed the Central Plains, they would be kicked out sooner or later!

"Huang Mama, my grandson understands. My grandson immediately wrote a letter to that Wu Fama, telling him that after Yang Qilong took control of Hanyang, the king's city of Korea, we will personally conquer Mobei, wipe out the disobedient Mongol princes, and personally defend against him." Rakshasa!"

"Okay!" Bumbutai nodded, "Add a Rakshasa. I heard that the Moscow Mansion of the Rakshasa Kingdom is [-] to [-] miles away to the west. Batu went there when Batu went west. You Tell Wu Sangui in the letter that you also want to visit that Moscow mansion!"

In August of the 14th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, on the surface of the Yellow Sea, the early morning glow had already fallen on the sea, sparkling and dazzling.A fleet of hundreds of fast crab boats and large bird boats is rapidly sailing towards the coast of North Korea with the westerly wind on the sea, plowing white waves on the sea.

The fast crab boat was originally a ship type used by pirates in Guangdong and Fujian. The hull is long and narrow, with dozens of oars on each side.This kind of ship is extremely fast. It is equipped with turtledove foot guns and sub-cannons. It has powerful firepower in close combat and is very suitable for fighting in coastal waters or inland rivers.The Zheng Group, which Shi Lang was born in, already has the business of toll collection at sea and zero-yuan purchases. This kind of fast crab boat is a sharp weapon for the Zheng family to run wild in the coastal waters.Shi Lang was very familiar with the performance of fast crab boats. After he became the admiral of the Yangtze River Navy, he introduced them to the Yangtze River. He invited craftsmen who were good at building fast crab boats from Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, and opened a special boat in Guazhou Port, Yangzhou Prefecture. A shipyard for fast crab boats.Dozens of river and sea fast crab boats have been built one after another.

The large bird boat is also a ship type commonly used by the Zheng Group. This is a round-bottomed sea-going ship with hard sails. It is often used along the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang, and can also run around Southeast Asia and Japan.In the early years, the Zheng family often snatched this kind of ship when they bought it for zero yuan at sea, so they loaded the sturdy big ship with artillery to carry out armed smuggling.Later, the Zheng family combined the advantages of Western gunboats and developed bird boats that could install three-jin or six-jin cannons on the side.

Shi Lang also asked people to build ten large bird boats at the Guazhoubu Shipyard that could mount six-jin bronze cannons on the sides. Later, when he left the Yangtze River and headed north, he also forcibly recruited more than a dozen cargo-type bird boats, thus forming a The Beiyang Navy with hundreds of fast crab boats and big bird boats.

If you don't consider that the Daqing Navy that retreated to the north has lost the support of the southeast shipbuilding industry, and the stock advantage of the Beiyang Navy alone, it is a powerful sea force that can overwhelm the Yangtze River Navy and the Guangdong Navy under the name of the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, if the Fujian Zheng family's Fujian navy comes out, then the Beiyang navy will not be enough.

Before Zheng Jing regained Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, the shipbuilding industry in these two prefectures had already begun to recover because the sea ban had actually ceased to exist.And after Zheng Jing became the lord of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, the shipbuilding industry of these two prefectures with long nautical traditions has advanced by leaps and bounds. Although the scale is not comparable to the heyday of the late Ming Dynasty, the technology has gone further—— After all, the Zheng family has been absorbing Western shipbuilding technology all these years in Dayuan Island.In addition, after Macau was recovered by Li Zhongshan, the Portuguese shipyards, drawings and models were all open to the Zheng family, and there were even armed merchant ships in the dock for repairs that Zheng Jing's craftsmen could carry out reverse engineering.

Therefore, after the Zheng family regained Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, they soon began to produce a new type of armed merchant ship that combined Chinese-style hard sails with Western-style hulls.With the recovery of shipbuilding capacity in Zhangzhou and Quanfu, this new type of armed merchant ship called "Xinfu Ship" began to be built like dumplings!

However, the purpose of the Zheng family building a new blessing ship is not to go north to the Yellow Sea and compete with the Beiyang navy of the Qing Dynasty, but to expand the interests of the Zheng family in Nanyang. Therefore, Shi Lang's Beiyang navy can still boldly use Yang Qilong's Beiyang navy now. The new army ships to a place called Incheon!

Two or three hundred sails were raised high, and the sun also rose into the sky at this time. The hot sunlight came from the east, reflected on the white sails, and reflected golden light, which seemed to herald this expedition. Will be a big win.

On every bird boat and fast crab boat, there are dragon flags, Yang characters and Shi Shuai flags of the Qing Dynasty flying!
Due to the long-term seclusion abroad and the lack of military equipment, the navy and land divisions of the Joseon Lee Dynasty were all extremely weak, even worse than the situation before the Japanese invasion.

And according to the reports of Tianjin Customs officials who were expelled by the Li Dynasty, the new king Li Xuan who came to power in Li Chao was young and vigorous, and he was somewhat similar to Kangxi back then. During the civil strife, he listened to the suggestion of Yin Kai, the Minister of the Central Northern Expedition, changed the previous stable and clear, and adopted the policy of "building cars" and "uniting the Ming Dynasty".While building chariots, preparing to deal with the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, at the same time uniting with the Ming Dynasty and meeting to fight against the Qing Dynasty.Moreover, they are still preparing for war in Yizhou, near the Yalu River, in the northern part of the Korean Kingdom, and they are ready to send troops to Liaodong to copy the old nest of the Qing Dynasty at any time.

That is to say, not only the sea gates of North Korea are wide open, even their capital Hanyang is not guarded by heavy troops, it simply opens the gates and waits for Yang Qilong and Shi Lang to raid their homes!
On Yang Qilong and Shi Lang's ship "Flag Kai Desheng", Yang Qilong, who was slightly seasick, was taking a walk on the deck while the sea breeze was blowing, and doing some stretching exercises from time to time.

It can be seen that this "running minister" was still a little nervous when he went to battle for the second time!
If Shi Lang, an old pirate, didn't lead the fleet on the wrong course, then the Incheon Bay of North Korea should be nearby, and the Incheon Bay area should be defenseless!
Therefore, the Beiyang new army can land without hindrance!Then march to Hanyang!

And when the Beiyang new army on the bird boat landed, Shi Lang would lead his fast crab boat and another part of the Beiyang new army to land on Ganghwa Island, and then enter the Han River from the mouth of the Han River in the northeast of Ganghwa Island, and then go up the river. Go straight to Hanyang, the king of North Korea.

If all goes well, the land and water armies will join forces outside Hanyang soon. The young king of North Korea is likely to surrender without a fight!

As long as he surrenders without a fight, then Yang Qilong can control the affairs of North Korea in the name of supervising the country.

The plan to replace Li Chao is only half successful!

"land!"

Just as Yang Qilong was fantasizing about accepting Li Chao's abdication in the future and starting the Yang Dynasty's good deeds in North Korea, a Fujian accent suddenly yelled.

Yang Qilong quickly ran to the high bow of the bird boat, then took out a monocular, looked at the sea in the east for a while, and finally saw a faint undulating land where the water and the sky meet.

The westerly wind on the sea is strong now, pushing hundreds of ships to rush towards the coast quickly, and after a while they have sailed into a huge bay, and the mountains, jungles and fields on the shore are even clearly visible.

"Grandpa, we're here! We can already see the coast of Incheon!" This was Shi Lang's voice, also a little excited, "I didn't see the warships of the North Korean Navy and there were no gun emplacements firing at us. Our surprise attack was a success! "

"Is this a success?" Yang Qilong was stunned, "You didn't even go ashore, how did you succeed?"

"Hahaha," Shi Lang laughed, "My lord, the key to an attack from the sea to the land is to be unprepared and to be caught by surprise. The sea is vast and boundless, and the navy can be erratic. But the land is dead, and the land division can only do coastal defense." Fortifications for thousands of miles, as long as one point is not defended, the success will fall short. In fact, the defense of the army for thousands of miles is very likely to have seas but no defenses. And run away! This coastal defense is really easy, and Oboi wouldn't have listened to Huang Wu's words and moved to the coast with his vitality hurt!"

The fleet of sailing ships in the age of great voyages is actually a bit of a dimensionality reduction strike against enemies on land.

Although it is difficult for sailing battleships to confront artillery forts on land, it is impossible for anyone to build countless forts in coastal areas!How much does it cost?
Therefore, the coastlines of most countries, including European countries, actually have large areas of undefended areas, and even the coastlines of such maritime powers as Spain, France, and Italy are often attacked by North African pirates!

But of course it is easier to break through the coastline of the Korean Kingdom, which has long pursued a closed-door policy and faces the threat of the Qing Dynasty on land!

"That's good, that's good, General Shi, then let's hurry up and set foot on the land of North Korea today!"

"Okay! Log in today!"

When Yang Qilong said this, he didn't realize that the small step he Shi Lang took inadvertently - from a sampan to the tidal flats in Incheon, would be a big step for the entire Chinese civilization - the first time in history I don't know how many years later, this civilization will once again conquer a piece of land from the sea!
Now it's a bit like catching up with the trip to the Age of Discovery!

Chang'an, the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Hahaha"

Wu Sangui's laughter echoed in the magnificent hall.

This 60-year-old founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who has not lived for many years in history, now has a red face and a full smile.

This person is in good spirits on happy occasions, which probably means he is like this.

"Father, why are you laughing?"

It is of course Li Zhongshan's "two-zhang man" Wu Yingxiong who posed this question in a timely manner.

Apart from Wu Sangui, there are only Wu Yingxiong and his brother Wu Yingqi in the main hall, as well as several guards and palace servants.

"Wu Xuanye said in the letter that he has already sent Yang Qilong to conquer North Korea, and plans to send troops to Khalkha Mongolia next year to help the Mongols resist the invading Raksha Kingdom. If the Raksha Kingdom refuses to accept, he will follow suit. Batu, march into Moscow Mansion. By the way, where is this Moscow Mansion? When did Batu go? Why don’t I know?”

Wu Yingqi laughed: "Father, Kangxi just wrote randomly. How far is Moscow? It takes tens of thousands of miles to go west! And Batu didn't seem to have been to Moscow back then. He went to Kiev, but Kangxi probably went there too. No."

"Can't even go? Why?" Wu Sangui didn't seem to understand the affairs of the West as well as his son.

"I heard from Galdan's envoys that the Raksha Kingdom is very powerful now, and the descendants of the Golden Horde have almost been wiped out by them. Therefore, Kangxi probably cannot be defeated."

It turned out that Wu Yingqi had been busy with Western affairs during this time, busy discussing with Galdan's envoys how to carve up the Yeerqiang Khanate.And after partitioning Yeerqiang, the alliance's defense against Raksha is also the theme, so Wu Yingqi knows a little about Raksha.

"Oh" Wu Sangui said with a smile, "Let's not care about him so much, as long as Kangxi turns his attention to North Korea and Mongolia, we can deal with Daming with all our strength. By the way, what happened to Yeerqiang and Junggar? Can we let them strike and make peace?"

"Yes!" Wu Yingqi nodded, "As long as we take all Ye Erqiang down, it is impossible for Galdan to send troops to destroy Ye Erqiang!"

Wu Sangui nodded: "Good idea, let's do it!"
