Chapter 1679 Confused behavior of the fourth child
With my friends, I want to ride the wind and waves and travel across the yellow sand ocean.
The people in charge of Taizhou are a group of officials and civil servants with extremely chaotic official positions. Zhu Mingyuan is obviously the magistrate of Taizhou and spends his days squatting in Guocheng.
This is Chu Qing's magic power.
He went to Wangyuan City, which became the most populous and largest city in the three border areas.
He went to Guocheng, which was a ruin no bigger than Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs. Now it has become the most dazzling pearl city in the three East China Seas, but the brilliance of this pearl is not dazzling.
The Taizhou magistrate's office was in a panic and did not receive any news in advance. Sayazi ran to the south gate of the city to greet him.
Chu Qing never accepted this trick, so he quickly entered the city with his people and settled in the Zhizhou Mansion.
This was the first time I entered a city after leaving Beijing. I had to enter Taizhou City.
The friends were divided into two states. Some of them went to find a wooden bucket to take a bath, and the other group followed Chu Qing to the main hall.
The former are mostly military generals, while the latter are mostly people who play tricks on their brains and have nothing to do.
Chu Qing, who was tired of his travels, sat behind the desk and wrote furiously.
Write a letter to the prince and Nangong Xi.
Gao Fenghuang and others were originally in charge of local government affairs in the East China Sea Three Roads. Military and civilian affairs were done, but their names were not justified. Chu Qing called them back to the capital with a letter, in order to quickly get titles and promotions.
When you get promoted, you should be granted a title, and after you have a serious official position, you can return to the East China Sea. From now on, you will be considered to have taken root in the East China Sea.
As a result, as soon as Gao Fenghuang and others returned, they happened to catch up with King You and the old magic stick making demons, so the matter was shelved.
The imperial court is not about doing things, but there are certain procedures that must be followed, including assessment of personal conduct, ability, etc.
Chu Qing wrote a letter urging that this matter be done quickly. The imperial court could send officials to serve, but regarding the future plans of the East China Sea, compared with the officials sent by the imperial court, Gao Fenghuang and others know best, and their behavior is much different from that of Chu Qing.
The ideas are also very consistent.
After finishing writing the prince's letter, Chu Qing changed the letter paper again, raised his head, and looked at the local officials standing in two rows: "Don't stop, I'm writing mine, and you are writing yours."
There are more than twenty officials and civil servants with different positions in two rows, just like a small court.
In fact, only one person said that Wang Qi and Zhu Ming, the military commanders of Taizhou, were far away and had to take care of the nearby Zhechong Mansion and Tunbingwei.
"Not much has changed before you returned to Beijing. It's just that you stopped all the docks a few days ago. Nine days ago, the supply ship said that your Majesty had sent a message that warships still need to be built, and the Hanhai warships are to be built.
, no need…”
"What?" Chu Qing's expression changed slightly.
Tao Weiran and Liao Wenzhi on both sides looked at each other.
"Your Majesty asked the ship to be built again?"
"yes."
"What does this mean?"
Chu Qing put down his pencil, confused.
In the past, when fighting Yingdao, the more warships the better, just one ship would be enough, just to destroy Yingdao as quickly as possible.
Later, when the war was almost progressing, warships began to support Goguryeo, and with the support of a large number of longships from the Kingdom of the Sun, there was no need for so many warships, at least not for now.
Afterwards, Cuiyu, based on his own ideas, research on long ships, and some ideas provided by Chu Qing, wanted to finalize some new warships, new warships that combine high seas and combat, and have begun to touch the edge of ironclads.
Already.
It is still in the drawing stage, and the main problem is the power problem that needs to be solved. The ironclad ship cannot rely on sails alone, it needs steam power.
Once this kind of warship instead of a warship is built, all the previous warships can be eliminated. They don't need to participate in the war, and they can all go fishing.
However, if you want to achieve a breakthrough in steam power, it depends entirely on luck.
There is no rubber in Dachang Dynasty now, and there are still problems such as high temperature resistance and high pressure resistance. The Mohist disciples and the disciples of the Three Dao Yin Sect have not made much progress for the time being. There is no specific time when they can really invest.
Taking this problem into consideration, all the shipyards in the East China Sea were stopped, and steam power was studied first.
As a result, Huang Laosi asked someone to bring back a message a few days ago to continue building ships?
Chu Qing knocked on the desk unconsciously and stopped writing. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and asked, "What do you think?"
Tao Weiran asked: "Has the recruitment stopped?"
Wang Qi replied: "It hasn't stopped yet."
Liao Wenzhi also asked: "Has there been any change in the number of soldiers recruited?"
"No change."
After asking some more questions, Chu Qing realized something was wrong and waved his hand.
After all the local officials retreated, Chu Qing looked strange.
"Fourth brother still wants to continue fighting?"
Tao Weiran smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that's the case.
"Then why did he let the Goguryeo envoys come to Beijing?"
"The Goguryeo envoy was a tactic to slow down the troops. Your Majesty may also be using his tactics to slow down the troops."
Chu Qing grabbed the pencil and threw it towards Fu Yongkang and Fu Baobao, who were dozing off in the corner.
"Analyze, what do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Fu Yongkang sniffed: "What do you mean? You must not be reconciled."
Fu Baobao said: "But you may not want to continue the war. Build more warships to be prepared. Your Majesty should be afraid that Goguryeo will seek revenge."
"There is a possibility."
Chu Qing thought quickly.
Continuing to build warships does not necessarily mean that Laosi still wants to continue to attack Goguryeo. Now he is causing trouble to the periphery of Goguryeo because he is afraid that the other party will rush to retaliate after withdrawing his troops.
However, this possibility is very small, so small that it is completely impossible, but it is not afraid of 10,000, but afraid of the worst.
Fu San promptly reminded: "Master, all the ships your Majesty wants the shipyard to build are Hanhai."
Fu Yongkang and Fu Baobao said in unison: "Then keep fighting."
Chu Qing recalled it for a long time. There were too many improved ship models in the later period, and he didn't even know what the Hanhai was.
Tao Weiran knew Chu Qing well. He smacked his teeth and thought while saying, "The Hanhai has a huge hull. It is mostly used for transporting supplies and troops."
"I understand what you said."
Chu Qing's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan": "It's not necessary. The Kingdom of the Sun has withdrawn its troops. The Second King's City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let alone autumn is about to come. Isn't the fourth child really addicted to fighting?
"
"Absolutely not. If this were the case, the soldiers of the Sun Kingdom would spare no effort to attack the Second King's City, instead of taking advantage of the situation and allowing the Goguryeo envoys to enter the capital."
"yes."
Chu Qing couldn't bear to tear up Sister Qi, and couldn't figure out what the fourth child meant.
The strategic purpose is invisible and meaningless.
It's just for fighting, not to mention, according to the character of the fourth child who has to twitch his fingers when picking at his buttocks, if he really wants to get addicted, he will definitely order an attack on the Second King's City before the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Sun board the ship and leave.
Either to attack and defend, or just to play.
Fu San asked tentatively: "Master, how about calling everyone here to discuss it?"
"Let's talk about it after we get to Guocheng. We are exhausted from traveling all the time. Let everyone rest first."
After stretching, Chu Qing stood up, no longer thinking about these trivial matters, and prepared to take a hot bath first.
Fu San followed, his eyes bursting out with a small look again, not of wisdom, but of confusion.
The third brother can't recall. Where did the news come from that the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Sun will retreat in autumn?
