Chapter 969 Shipbuilding Workshop
When the ministers in the study heard that Gao Yihuan was proclaiming the emperor, their faces were shocked, but they were as expected.

The Wei army swept across the north, and Gao Yihuan was looking for auspiciousness everywhere. It will be a matter of time before he becomes emperor.

"Your Majesty, the more calm you are at this time!" Chen Zilong said in a deep voice.

Wei Guo looked for Xiangrui from top to bottom, and Nanming had received the news a long time ago, and everyone knew that Gao Yihuan was going to become emperor, but when he really heard the news, he was still feeling lonely.

Zhu Cihong looked at the information again with an angry expression, "The Ming court is located in the southeast, the master is incompetent, colluded with the barbarians, betrayed China, the virtues are not compatible, and luck is exhausted~~~ The lonely king expelled the Tartars and restored China~~~ There are all the ministers and the generals to persuade to advance, to respect Gu as the emperor, and to be the master of Qianli~~~"

"How dare the high-ranking thief do this?" Zhu Cihong was furious in his heart. It's fine for this rebellious minister and traitor to call himself emperor, and he also insulted him by the way.

Chen Zilong said: "The Wei thieves occupy the north and occupy the upper reaches. Now that they are the emperor, the Wei thieves will definitely invade the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point. I think we should be fully prepared."

Zhu Cihong regained his composure, shook his head in pain, and said to everyone: "What do you think you should do?"

There are no two days and no two masters. After Gao Yihuan became emperor, he and Zhu Cihong are in a life-and-death relationship. He will definitely attack while it is sharp, but can the Ming army resist it?

Chen Zilong murmured: "At present, the imperial court only needs to guard Wuchang and the Huaihe River, and they will not be afraid of the Wei thieves. Now that the Qing army in the pass has been wiped out by the Wei thieves, most of the Wei thieves can turn to the south. It turned out that Duke Jingguo guarded Wuchang and was not afraid Huguang Wei thieves, but after the Wei thieves increased their troops, the situation is difficult to say, so I think that it is necessary to increase troops to Wuchang. In addition, just in case, Jiujiang and Anqing will also station large troops, so that the upper reaches will not worry. As for the Huaihe River line, Then we need to send more sailors. Our navy is far superior to the Wei thieves. As long as we firmly control the defense of the river, the Wei thieves will not be able to cross the river. I think that although the Wei thieves are strong, our dynasty has a geographical advantage. The court is not aggressive enough, but it is more than enough. "

After hearing Chen Zilong's words, Zhu Cihong was still anxious, because there is no regime in the south of the Yangtze River that can resist a regime that occupies the north, Bashu, and Jingchu.

Zhu Cihong stood up and paced back and forth, "The high-ranking thief proclaims himself emperor, and soon he will surely go south. If he can't defeat the Wei thief, even if it is a small defeat, the Wei thief will make progress and attack continuously. Only by completely defeating the Wei thief can I obtain More than ten years of peace. The Qing family's words are all kept, so is it possible that Daming has no chance?"

Chen Zilong said: "Your Majesty, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Now that the Wei thieves are targeting our court, the minister thinks that the court can only defend, but as long as we don't make mistakes, the Wei thieves will have difficulty defeating us. If we persist here, Sun Kewang, Hao Ge These two forces have a chance. As long as they can win a game, the crisis of our dynasty will be resolved."

What Chen Zilong meant was that Jiangnan took a defensive position and instigated the western army and the Qing army outside the pass to harass and attack the Wei army. After a long time, the Ming army might have a chance.

Ruan Dacheng frowned and said, "It's just that I don't know what the attitudes of the two parties are?"

Chen Zilong said: "There is no problem with Sun Kewang. He has been coveting Sichuan for a long time. He has been in constant friction with Wei thieves in southern Sichuan, and his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. We have a secret offensive and defensive alliance. He will definitely help. As for Hauge outside the pass, but I don’t know if he’s already lost his nerve.”

Zhu Cihong walked back and forth, finally stopped in front of the map, and said in a deep voice: "First, the food problem must be resolved immediately. Second, the conscription must continue. Third, increase troops to Wuchang and the Huaihe River. Fourth, send someone to contact Sun Kewang. , Hauge. Sun Kewang is very ambitious, if he is not allowed to take benefits, he will also make a move, Hauge can give some property."

······
Outside the pass, in Shengjing, in Su Wang's mansion.

Hauge learned about Bolo and Nikan from Sony who was released by Bolo, and took Fulin to the north, near a port near the sea.

This made Haoge very dissatisfied. The Qing army in the pass was gone, only Fulin and others escaped, which did not help the situation outside the pass, but was a disaster.

Now that Fulin is not dead, there is another person on top of him in name, which makes Hauge very uncomfortable.

He now controls Guanwai and North Korea, which is equivalent to the emperor, but he is not the emperor. He dreams of going further, but as long as Fulin is not dead, he has no reason to be the emperor.

Of course, he insisted on proclaiming himself emperor, and no one could stop him, but it was inevitable that he would be criticized.

At this moment, Hauge let out a heavy breath, "Get up!"

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave messed up the master's business." Sony raised his buttocks and put his head on the ground.

Seeing this, Hauge stopped trying to persuade him, but asked, "Boluo let you back, do you still remember the way?"

At this time, the population outside the Guan was very small, and they were mainly concentrated in the Liaohe Plain. A large area of ​​land in the north was covered by mountains and forests. There were only about 2000 people in an area as large as a county.

Such a sparse population is not easy to find even on the grasslands, let alone in the deep mountains and old forests.

Sony recalled: "The slave has been kept in the cabin in the dark. After sailing on the sea for a long time, he arrived at a bay. Later, he was blindfolded and turned around for several days. Only then did the escort remove the blindfold and point out the direction for the slave. The servant is back. The servant can only guess the approximate location, but I don’t know the exact location.”

Haoge frowned, "This king gave you 3000 people, can you find them out?"

Sony kowtowed and said, "The servant must find them out."

Hauge nodded slightly, "Do you know what to do when you find it?"

"Slave, I understand!" Sony kowtowed hurriedly.

At this moment, the two were talking, when Yue Le walked in suddenly, Hauge was a little unhappy, "What's the matter?"

After Yue Le was coerced by Hauge and taken outside the customs, she was placed under house arrest for a long time, but was later released to deal with some affairs.

Yue Le glanced at the kneeling Sony with doubts, and reported: "King Su, the information sent from the pass shows that the high-ranking thief has proclaimed himself emperor."

The muscles at the corners of Hauge's mouth twitched backwards, he was very unconvinced, and his mind became active, "Gao Yihuan is just a rogue, I don't want to be the emperor, but this king~~~"

······
At the end of October, the weather has turned cooler, and the howling cold wind blows the land of Huaibei.

After Gao Yihuan became emperor, he did not return to Luoyang, the eastern capital, or Chang'an, the capital, but came to Haizhou at the junction of Shandong and Nanzhi.

At this time, the horses were galloping, and Gao Yihuan, surrounded by the cavalry, came to the sea and looked at the bay in the distance. There were hundreds of ships with masts in it.

"Your Majesty, most of these ships were seized from Shandong, and they are now gathered in Haizhou!" Huang Bingzhong pointed with a whip.

Gao Yihuan looked at the sea ships and was excited, "How many war ships are there?"

"They are all merchant ships, and there are no warships of the Ming army. However, in order to deal with pirates, some merchant ships also installed a thousand-jin Flang machine on the bow."

Gao Yihuan frowned, "That's useless! The best gunboat of the Ming army can hold [-] or [-] cannons. Wouldn't it be death if you encounter it?"

Gao Yihuan turned his head and asked, "Has the Ministry of Industry sent someone to check?"

Chen Mingxia saluted and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the craftsmen of the Great Craftsman Academy have seen that these ships can only be used as ordinary merchant ships or military ships, and cannot be transformed into gunboats. The craftsman said that the artillery vibration is very strong. The ship is built according to the requirements of the ship, and it is okay to install one or two cannons, but if it is installed with dozens of cannons, I am afraid that the ship will fall apart after the cannons are fired when the ship is driven to sea.”

After hearing this, let Gao Yihuan know that his plan to quickly increase the strength of the navy by relying on the captured ships has failed.

At this time, Huang Bingzhong raised his whip and pointed forward, "Your Majesty, although these warships are not suitable for main warships, there is no problem as ordinary warships. As for the main warships, we can build them ourselves. There is one in Haizhou The destroyed shipbuilding workshop, Your Majesty, do you want to take a look!"

Gao Yihuan heard the words, with a smile on his face, knowing that he was too impatient.

There are thousands of warships in the Ming army, and there are only ten or twenty warships equipped with forty or fifty cannons on board. It is impossible for each ship to be equipped with dozens of cannons. If this is the case, the navy of the Ming army can rule The world is gone.

When Gao Yihuan heard that there was a shipbuilding workshop, he waved his horsewhip and galloped out, "Take me to have a look!"
