Chapter 139 North and South Naval Moon
After talking about the matter on land, a group of people put their minds on the sea again.
Dakang's navy is the most powerful in the world's seas known. The Northern Navy and the Southern Navy each have 25,000 combat personnel alone. In addition to repair, maintenance, logistics, etc., the scale has reached 40,000.
Such a huge naval fleet, all countries combined several times, are not as good as those.
However, the area under the North-South Navy Fleet is too vast. It is scattered everywhere on weekdays, spreading across the entire eastern and southern waters of Dakang, so it seems that it does not appear to be mountains or water.
The most important tasks of the Northern Navy on weekdays are two.
First, we are responsible for supporting the three pillar defense lines of Liaoning near the long Bohai Bay, Shanhaiguan and Great Wall defense lines, Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City.
Every year, the mainland has to transport various nutrients to Liaoning, a bitter and cold place.
These places were troublesome and labor-intensive by land. If the navy took the sea, it would save a lot of time and effort.
The second mission is to prevent various dangers on the Liaodong Peninsula and those pirates who came out of Japan and Baekje.
Well, within the territory of Dakang, the entire Liaodong Peninsula, namely Dalian, Wafangdian, Yingkou and other areas, are all influenced by Shiwei. Dakang only retains a very small area west of Jinzhou.
It is mainly for the defense room Wei Ren.
This looks pretty good to Liu Mingqi.
My Ming Dynasty occupied the entire Liaoning area, so what?
The power was very scattered, and it was defeated by others and gradually eroded. In the end, the only area of Shanhaiguan Great Wall was left?
Now Dakang concentrates his efforts to defend this corridor area, with clear goals, firm will and strong support forces, which makes it difficult for Shi Wei to make up his mind to start.
Moreover, Dakang's Liaoning is not only a little bit in size, it also contains a place in Hebei in another world, including Chengde, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao.
In this way, the depth of the entire Liaoning will be available.
Even if all the Liaoxi Corridor fails, they can rely on Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall defense line to make the second step of defense.
Come back and come.
Shi Wei also wanted to develop his own naval army, but for the past century, their characteristics were destined to not have much deep understanding and investment in the naval army. Even if there were some, they would not be ashamed of the scene at all. When they came out, they were tortured and killed by the Dakang Navy.
Over time, Shi Wei gave up this idea and focused on his old skills.
But the official does not mean that the people do not.
Because in fact, Dakang and Liaodong Peninsula, Baekje, Japan and other countries have a lot of trade, so there are also many pirates.
On weekdays, the Dakang Navy is often busy extermination of large-scale pirates and has cruise missions.
These were to protect Dakang's businessmen, but at the same time they also formed some inevitable corruption.
The last time the food case broke out, people from the Northern Navy were involved, hundreds of people were arrested and more than 30 people were beheaded.
But overall, the Northern Navy is still trustworthy, and Zhang Gongli is also a general who is worthy of entrusting the important task. This is also a fact verified after a series of cleanings last year.
"No matter whether there will be a war situation this time, we should increase our material reserves and support for the Liaoxi Corridor." Ge Songdao said: "In the past, the reserves were based on the normal consumption of six months, but now it will increase to one year! The Northern Navy transported them to the fastest speed, and notified the people in the Liaoxi Corridor to try their best to avoid and retreat to the pass."
"If they want to attack, it will probably be too late to go." Feng Yuqiang, a senator of the Hanlin Academy, shook his head, "What's more, many people are hard to leave their hometowns, so let the defense line consider and judge by themselves! Everything is based on the peace of the empire, and the defense line must not be broken through."
Feng Yuqiang is praised as strong and wise, and decisive in killing, which can be revealed from this sentence.
Even if the civilians over there were sacrifices, the defense lines of several cities could not be lost.
After hearing this, Emperor Jinghe quickly denied: "No, I told them to save these ordinary people as much as possible. It is not easy for them to leave their hometowns to make a living in Liaoning. After finally being stable for 10 or 20 years, they will face a catastrophe. How can this be done?"
Cao Yi agreed with Feng Yuqiang's view, but he said it more tactfully: "Your Majesty, if Shi Wei breaks through the defense line of the western Liaoning Corridor, then they will face an endless plain area, and they can even penetrate directly to the Gyeonggi area in half a month. We cannot take such a big risk.
So let the civil affairs officials in these places evacuate them as much as possible or welcome them into the city, which is all we can do."
Ge Songdao replied next to him: "When I was in the southwest before, I encountered such a situation, and many people were unable to leave their hometowns.
However, I announced that I would give each person one hundred kilograms of food and then ensure that after the war, they could return home and get taxes for two years.
As a result, they packed things more simply than anyone else.”
Emperor Jinghe laughed and applauded: "Honglian, you are really worthy of being a legal official! OK! On the other side of the Liaoxi Corridor, do what you said! Let the people evacuate back as much as possible!"
Cao Yi and others thought it was pretty good, so they didn't mention it again.
Compared with the entire defense, this is nothing, it is a trivial matter.
Zhong Chang had been to Jiangsu and Shandong some time ago. At this time, he sighed: "Our accumulation over ten years may cost most of this war! It would have been fine if it were three or five years ago, but now..."
Nowadays, Dakang has suffered so many disasters in recent years, and he really feels tears when he thinks about it.
Originally, with Dakang's financial and material resources, there was no problem in supporting such a defensive situation two or three times.
But what about now?
I don’t know if there are any remaining ones after a trip.
"Don't think about those depressing things. We may have a shortage of food, but the weapons and various materials are still sufficient." Nangong Ji, who had not spoken for a long time, said, "For example, this time the Northern Navy transported the weapons and materials from Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, just transporting them from Shandong warehouses is enough."
Nangong Ji had the confidence to say this.
After the last large-scale corruption case in Dakang, all the ministers and supervisors checked the main warehouses, including military material warehouses.
As a result, the loss of military material warehouses was not large, only between one or two percent, and only hundreds of officials of all sizes were killed.
In the past, most of the supplies that were transported to the Northeast defense line were transported to Shandong warehouses, and then sent to the sea by the Northern Navy.
There are more than 20 warehouses of all sizes in Shandong, and various military supplies are piled up in mountains, so it is no problem to deal with them.
"The consumables such as arrows can be transported more." Fang Kaiyue did not forget to give a reminder.
"Um!"
Nangong Ji nodded.
He is now only responsible for the Ministry of Revenue. His years of experience and accumulated prestige have made him do it with ease.
"Transporting materials is only part of their responsibility." Cao Yi had high requirements for the Northern Navy: "From now on, let the Northern Navy patrol all the waters, especially in Japan! Once any large-scale transport ships appear, they will be attacked immediately without any reporting or requesting instructions."
On this point, Jing Hedi also agreed.
He is kind, but not stupid.
Others have already transported troops on a large scale, so what else do you pay attention to first and then troops?
Especially these Japanese people are threatening Jiangnan, which is the lifeblood of the entire court. How can this be done?
"Where is the Southern Navy?" Feng Yuqiang asked, "Do they want to go out?"
The Southern Navy has three teams, one is the Quanzhou Navy, the other is the Guangzhou Navy, and the other is the Qinzhou Navy.
The closest to Jiangnan is the Quanzhou Navy, with a total of 10,000 people. They are mainly responsible for Yizhou Island and nearby waters to prevent merchant ships coming from the East and the West from being attacked by pirates.
"After summer, sea exchanges will become more frequent, and Quanzhou will not need the support of the entire army for the time being." Zhou Zhixiao, Minister of War, said: "But you can send no less than 3,000 patrol troops to patrol and reinforce the East China Sea."
"All right!"
Cao Yi and several prime ministers discussed a few words and agreed to the plan.
Although Japan is cruel enough, their navy is not as good as Dakang. If they want to break through, most of them will be destroyed on the sea.
Even if the rest of the people arrive in Jiangnan, they will not cause any storm.
This is Dakang’s trust in his invincible navy!
After saying this, Ma Haoqiu suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, we are still a little lucky this time... Master, don't forget, Miao Taisheng has been in Huaian for about half a year.
Compared to Lin Zhenyuan, there will be no loss with the Huaian transportation hub where he guards. Besides, he also holds 20,000 gua soldiers who have been cut down! With Miao Taisheng's method, these 20,000 gua soldiers can be completely turned into treasure!"
Emperor Jing He was excited when he heard this.
He almost forgot that one of the people he trusted the most is now in Jiangnan!
Although Miao Yan has never fought a war, his ability to control the situation is absolutely unquestionable.
With such a complicated situation in the capital, Miao Yan made all the people obeyed and did not dare to do anything rashly, let alone just Huai'an and a canal transport soldier.
Even if there are 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese people, it is impossible to conquer Huai'an within ten days and half a month.
Maybe Miao Yan can still support nearby towns, after all, he has the identity of "temporary imperial envoy".
However, the emperor was excited for a while and calmed down again: "Give him a document and tell him to actively organize and prepare for defense, but no matter how dangerous the rest of the place is, he must not give up on helping Huai'an City, let alone put himself in danger."
"yes!"
Zhong Chang agreed here.
Many people are very envious of Miao Yan's treatment.
Look!
This is the emperor's preference!
Chapter completed!
