I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Shaoxing, December 5th.

Zhu Yihai received Qian Sule's battle report and secret notes.

The battle report is about the process of the battle in Changzhou and the results. On the secret note, it was written about Wu Changqing's analysis and some information about Wu Junli's flintlock.

In terms of secrets, Qian Sule spoke highly of Wu Changqing's ability, but his desire for power was also very great.

In fact, Qian Sule still didn't write too much detail. For example, Wu Changqing didn't write about the fact that Wu Changqing was good at buying people's hearts. He was afraid that Zhu Yihai would become jealous of Wu Changqing and fall into internal fighting, which would make the Qing court cheaper.

After reading the battle report and secret notes, Zhu Yihai summoned all his officials and announced the good news that Wu Jun had captured Changzhou.

After learning of this good news, many ministers showed smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations. With Wu Guogong, the **** will be here, the recovery of Nanjing is just around the corner."

Zhang Guowei congratulated him, and other ministers followed suit.

In the past, they received bad news of defeat or surrender of the general every day. Since Wu Changqing appeared, they began to receive good news constantly.

"Wu Guogong's current military strength is still too small. What do you think of the memorials presented by Qian Aiqing and Xiong Aiqing?"

Zhu Yihai received Qian Sule’s advice a few days ago, suggesting that he summon skilled craftsmen from eastern Zhejiang and send them to Suzhou for Wu Changqing's use. In this way, flintlock guns can be produced quickly, increasing strength.

Over the past few months, even Zhu Yihai, the emperor, knew that Wu Changqing had a weapon called ‘Flintlock,’ which was extremely fierce. Victory in many battles relied on this weapon.

However, it is very difficult to create this weapon, and Wu Changqing has also taken the strictest confidentiality measures.

Of course Zhu Yihai wanted Wu Changqing to contribute to the manufacturing method of this flintlock, but he also knew that it was impossible in this troubled world.

Right now, he was faced with the problem of whether to reward the craftsman to Wu Changqing.

The benefit of rewarding the craftsman to Wu Changqing is that it can increase Wu Changqing's strength and speed up the progress of regaining Nanjing.

The disadvantage is that it can increase Wu Changqing's strength and make Wu Changqing more difficult to control.

"The minister thought that Wu Guogong should be asked to present the manufacturing method. Shaoxing is at the rear, and it is safer to build weapons. Artisans are sent to Suzhou. If Suzhou is captured by the Qing army, the manufacturing method will fall into the hands of the Qing army."

Fang Guoan stood up and said that he firmly opposed sending craftsmen to Suzhou.

He couldn't help coveting the craftsmanship of making flintlocks. As long as the manufacturing location is in Shaoxing, he has enough means to take this craft as his own and expand his strength.

His reason is still reasonable, but he thinks very beautifully, but the reality is very cruel.

Zhang Guowei reminded: "The words of the Yue Guoguo are not correct. At this time, our most important thing is to recover Nanjing. It is really not suitable for internal disputes to arise. For Hongguang, we should learn our lesson."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone is smart and understands what Zhang Guowei means.

Zhang Guowei meant that, with the current situation, forcing Wu Changqing to surrender this manufacturing method would undoubtedly provoke internal fighting.

The Ming Dynasty really couldn't stand the toss. The previous Hongguang court had nearly one million soldiers. It was because of the infighting between the ruling Ma Shiying and the Donglin Party that the Qing army could take advantage of it.

Because Ma Shiying continued to persecute the Donglin Party since he took power, this led to Zuo Liangyu, who had been favored by the Donglin Party, rushed to Nanjing with an army of more than 200,000, threatening to purify the emperor and punish Ma Shiying.

Now if Wu Changqing is also forced to surrender his hole cards, I am afraid Wu Changqing will also shout Qingjun's side, punish Fang Guoan, and then wave his army south.

This kind of thing has just been staged by the Hongguang court, and at this time it is really time to learn a lesson.

"Zhang Aiqing said that the most important thing is to recover the old capital at present. As for the method of manufacturing this weapon, we will discuss it later."

Zhu Yihai didn't want to master this kind of craftsmanship in his own hands, but this kind of thing can't be done just thinking about it.

In fact, Zhu Yihai knew very well in his heart that he had no soldiers in his hands, and it was very likely that he could only become a puppet emperor in the future.

However, it is not bad to be a puppet emperor, at least on the surface, he is still an emperor, he can also accept the courtesy and worship, and he can also enjoy the San Gong Six Courtyards.

This kind of puppet life is also stronger than it is now.

And as long as he has mastered the righteous status, the puppet emperor is not without the opportunity to counterattack.

Just like the previous Jiajing emperor, he didn't have everything when he was enthroned, and then relied on a series of emperor's power tricks to turn the powerful officials around, and finally mastered the power, realizing the situation of Jiajing Zhongxing.

Zhu Yihai wanted to take this path now, first to give his subordinates the greatest power, let them help themselves to regain the world first.

In the future, if you have a chance, you will gather power and become a master, and if you don't have a chance, you will enjoy your life as a puppet.

All the civilian officials in the DPRK and China support sending craftsmen to Suzhou, and Fang Guoan can't oppose it unless he rebels openly now.

He is not that stupid yet, and has a clear understanding of his own strength.

However, this does not mean that he gave up and succumbed to prying secret thoughts, he just wanted to change the way.

For example, there are many ways to place a group of craftsmen who are loyal to oneself to learn techniques, or to buy in and threaten some craftsmen.

A few days later, news that Wu Changqing had captured Changzhou spread to Fuzhou.

Regarding this news, Emperor Longwu didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.

Happily, Wu Changqing’s allegiance is to Daming, and Wu Changqing’s victory represents Daming’s victory.

What is depressing is that Wu Changqing's loyalty is to the king of Lu Zhu Yihai, not his orthodox Ming court.

This made Zhu Yujian a little regretful. If he had known that Wu Changqing was able to play, he should be directly named a marquis or duke.

Now Wu Changqing has invested in Zhu Yihai and is also approaching Nanjing. If Nanjing was recovered by Wu Changqing and Zhu Yihai moved the court to Nanjing, it would be difficult to say whether other people would recognize him or Zhu Yihai.

After all, Nanjing has a very special meaning for Daming, and living in Nanjing can represent orthodoxy.

Now Liangguang, Yunnan and other places only respect him as orthodox in name. In fact, he has no control over those places.

Once Zhu Yihai returns to Nanjing, Zhu Yihai can use the old capital of Ming Dynasty to make a fuss. Maybe someone will fall to him because of this, which is very bad for Zhu Yujian.

If it weren't for worrying about being infamy, he now wants to lead his troops directly against Zhu Yihai.

In his opinion, Zhu Yihai is already more troublesome than Manchu Tatar. If Zhu Yihai is not resolved, his legitimacy will always be challenged.

"Everyone, how should this matter be handled?"

Zhu Yujian asked Xiang Qunchen.

"Your Majesty, we can directly use the righteous name, and also canonize Wu Changqing as Wu Guogong and him as the governor of Zhili. After all, we represent orthodoxy. Under the same award, Wu Changqing is very likely to fall to us."

Huang Daozhou, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, suggested.

"Will this reward be too high? General Zheng is still just a marquis."

Said another minister close to Zheng Zhilong.

"Hmph, it's all about this time, where can you take care of so much? Can you watch Nanjing fall into the hands of King Lu?

If he is not happy, his majesty can promise him that he will be named a king with a different surname if he takes Nanjing. With his 100,000 navy forces, it is not without a chance to go upstream from the Yangtze River. "

Huang Daozhou hummed coldly, although he is a book of rites, but he is not pedantic.

At this time when orthodoxy is endangered, where so much has been taken into consideration, it is the most important thing to get Nanjing first.

As long as Nanjing is occupied and then transferred to Nanjing to supervise the country, who would dare to say that they are not orthodox?

Moreover, he was also very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhilong, and he was sealed off with a bit of military power. In fact, he had not fought with the Qing army once, and he had not done anything.

Even this kind of person can be appointed. Wu Changqing, who has already killed tens of thousands of enemies on the front line, is not appropriate to make a duke?

"Huang Aiqing said that the most important thing is the restoration of the old capital."

Zhu Yujian chose to follow Huang Daozhou's advice, and if Zheng Zhilong was not satisfied, he would force him to go north to regain lost ground.

In fact, he has always wanted to go north, but unfortunately there is no soldier in his hand, and Zheng Zhilong does not obey the command.

In terms of military power, he and Zhu Yihai are brothers and sisters.
