After talking about things on land, a group of people turned their minds to the sea.
Dakang's navy is the most powerful in the known sea areas of the world. The northern navy and the southern navy each have 25,000 combat personnel. With repairs, maintenance, logistics, etc., the scale has reached Forty thousand people.
Such a huge naval fleet cannot be matched by all the countries combined.
"It's just that the area responsible for the northern and southern naval fleets is too vast. They are usually scattered everywhere, covering the entire eastern and southern waters of Dakang, so they don't look like mountains or rivers.
The two most important tasks of the Northern Navy on weekdays are two.
First, it is responsible for supporting Liaoning's three pillars of defense near the long Bohai Bay - Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall Defense Line, Ningyuan City, and Jinzhou City.
Every year, the mainland transports various supplies to Liaoning, a bitterly cold place.
These places have been more troublesome and consumed from the land to the past. It is time to save time and effort to replace the sailor from the sea.
The second task is to prevent various dangers on the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as pirates from Japan and Baekje.
Well, within the territory of Dakang, the entire Liaodong Peninsula, that is, Dalian, Wafangdian, Yingkou and other areas, were all within Shiwei's sphere of influence. Dakang only retained a small area west of Jinzhou.
The main reason is to defend Shiwei.
Liu Mingqi thinks this is good.
My Ming Dynasty occupies the entire Liaoning area, so what?
The power was very scattered, and it was defeated one by one and gradually eroded away. In the end, wasn't only the Shanhaiguan Great Wall area left?
Now Dakang is concentrating his efforts to defend this corridor area. His goal is very clear, his will is very firm, and his support force is very strong. This makes it very difficult for Shi Wei to make up his mind to take action.
¡°And Dakang¡¯s Liaoning area is not just that small, it also includes a piece of Hebei in another world, including Chengde, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao.
In this way, the depth of the entire Liaoning will be achieved.
Even if all the Western Liaoning Corridor fails, we can still rely on the Shanhaiguan and Great Wall defense lines for the second step of defense.
Come back to me.
Shiwei also wanted to develop his own navy, but in the past hundred years, their characteristics were destined not to have a deep understanding and investment in the navy. Even if they had some, they would never see the light of day, and they would be flooded by Dakang after they came out. The teacher was tortured and killed.
Over time, Shi Wei gave up this idea and concentrated on his old profession.
But just because the government doesn¡¯t have it doesn¡¯t mean that the people don¡¯t have it.
Because Dakang actually had a lot of trade with the Liaodong Peninsula, Baekje, Japan and other countries, it also resulted in a large number of pirates.
On weekdays, the Dakang Navy is often busy exterminating large-scale pirates, and also has cruise missions.
These are businessmen who want to protect Dakang, but at the same time they also form some inevitable corruption.
The last time a grain 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 worthy of entrusting heavy responsibilities - this is also a fact verified after a series of purges last year.
"Regardless of whether there will be a war this time, we should increase the material reserves and support for the Western Liaoning Corridor." Ge Songdao said: "In the past, the reserves were based on normal consumption for six months. Now let's increase it to one year! From the north The navy transported it as quickly as possible, and at the same time notified the people in the Liaoxi Corridor to avoid it as much as possible, and they can just retreat to the pass."
"If they want to attack, I'm afraid it will be too late." Feng Yuqiang, the master of the Hanlin Academy, shook his head, "Besides, many people are unable to leave their hometowns, so let the defense line make their own decisions! Everything is based on the peace of the empire, and there are tens of thousands of defense lines It cannot be breached."
Feng Yuqiang is praised as strong, wise and decisive, which can be seen from this sentence.
Even if the civilians over there are sacrificed, the defense lines of several cities cannot be lost.
After hearing this, Emperor Jinghe quickly denied: "No, tell them to save these people as much as possible. It's not easy for them to leave their hometowns and go to Liaoning to make a living. They have finally been stable for ten or twenty years, and they are about to face another disaster. How can this be done? ?¡±
Cao Yi agreed with Feng Yuqiang's view, but he said it more tactfully: "Your Majesty, if Shi Wei is allowed to break through the defense line of the Western Liaoning Corridor, then they will face an endless plain area, and they can even penetrate directly in half a month. We cannot take such a big risk when going to the Gyeonggi area.
So let the civil affairs officials in these places?Can turn waste into treasure! "
Emperor Jinghe perked up after hearing this.
He almost forgot that one of the people he trusted the most was now in Jiangnan!
Although Miao Yan has never fought in a war, there is absolutely no room for doubt about his ability to control the situation.
In such a complicated situation in the capital, Miao Yan made all the people obey him and did not dare to make any mistakes, let alone a mere Huai'an and a canal transport soldier.
Even if there were 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese people, it would be impossible for them to capture Huai'an within ten days and a half.
Maybe Miao Yan can also support nearby towns. After all, he has the status of "temporary imperial envoy".
However, the emperor was excited for a while and then calmed down: "Send him a letter and tell him to actively organize and prepare for defense. However, no matter how critical the rest of the place is, we must not give up the aid of Huai'an City, let alone Put yourself in danger."
"yes!"
Here Zhong Chang agreed.
Many people are very envious of Miao Yan's treatment.
Look!
This is the emperor¡¯s preference!
Compared with Miao Taisheng, even half of Jiangsu is far inferior! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
