I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, Wu Keshan took a steamboat to enjoy the feeling of a thousand miles a day, quickly arrived in Huai'an, and then transferred to an ordinary wooden boat to go north.

Dahua's steamboat will not go to the enemy's territory for the time being to prevent the enemy from desperately robbing it.

Although this steam engine was sent to the enemy to study, they may not be able to study it. However, it is always right to be careful before it happens.

In the Forbidden City, Wu Keshan was summoned by Da Yuer as soon as he returned to Beijing.

In addition to Da Yuer, there are Fan Wencheng, Mao Wenci, Hauge of Zhenglan Banner, and Jier Harang of Blue Banner.

There are also important generals of the two yellow flags, Sony, Aobai, Tuerge and others.

These are all members of Prince Su Hauge's faction.

Prince Su and Dorgon have always been at odds. In the past, Dorgon was so powerful that he could only dormant.

Now that Dorgon has been defeated, his prestige has dropped greatly, and he looks a little depressed, so many people have begun to get close to Hauge again.

At the same time, some civil and military officials who did not agree that Dorgon should continue to fight again also changed their positions and supported Hauge.

Hauge took the opportunity to seize power while Dorgon was still in the grief of Dorgon's death, and it is progressing smoothly.

Today, Hauge's weight in the court has been vaguely able to rival Dorgon.

This is also the reason why the decision to let Da Yuer marry can be passed. If Dorgon still speaks his mind, he will definitely not agree to this resolution.

For him, it was blatant humiliation.

It is precisely because of Dorgon's irrational and emotional state that more and more people are not optimistic about him, and they choose to stand in line again and fall to Hauge.

Dorgon wanted to pull everyone into the fire pit for his own selfish interests, but others would not agree.

Even if Dorgon was in power before, he still needs to take into account the interests of his subordinates.

Even the emperor has to take into account the interests of civil and military officials, otherwise the seemingly supreme power is a castle in the air.

"Prince Tu, what is the situation of this negotiation?"

Hauge asked.

Everyone pricked up their ears, and they all cared about this result very much, after all, it was their fate.

"not too good."

Wu Keshan shook his head, and these words hit everyone's chest like a heavy hammer.

Hopes for peace talks are dashed, how should we deal with Wu Jun next?

"What did he say specifically, why didn't he agree to our terms?"

Fan Wencheng asked.

"Wu Changqing is very confident in his own strength, so he does not agree that there are two imperial courts in the world. He gave us two choices, either surrender or he will send troops to conquer.

If he surrenders, he can retain my official position in the court, and to a certain extent retain our nobility..."

Wu Keshan explained Wu Changqing's request in detail.

"This is impossible, we will never surrender and destroy the country."

Hauge patted the table. Although his attitude towards the main battle was not as firm as Dorgon's, he also did not agree to cancel the national title and surrender completely.

As long as the country title is retained, even if it is a minister, the Dahua Empire has no right to interfere in their internal affairs.

As long as Hauge defeats Dorgon and takes the position of the regent, he can continue to make a fortune in the north.

However, if the national title is cancelled and Dahua is completely surrendered, then they are Dahua's ministers, and they will be at the mercy of Wu Changqing in the future.

As long as he is obedient, he may still be able to remain prosperous and rich, but his power will be greatly reduced.

This is not the result Haug wants.

When Da Yuer heard the words, she sighed in her heart. She also wanted to keep her son's country. For this reason, she even sacrificed her reputation and agreed to marry herself.

Unexpectedly, this could not satisfy Wu Changqing, and he had to annex them.

"It seems that there is no need to count on peace talks. We have to start preparing for war."

Aobai said.

"However, how to prepare for the war? I visited their military exercises and ironworks in Nanjing. Their strength is unfathomable."

Wu Keshan recounted what he saw and heard in Nanjing. He did not even exaggerate and reported truthfully.

However, when Aobai and others heard it, they felt that Wu Keshan was flattering Dahua.

"Dahua's iron factory can produce 10,000 high-quality steel knives a day, and it can spin thousands of pieces of cloth a day. What about us? We need to build 10,000 steel knives, at least a month or two. "

Wu Keshan sighed.

This disparity in strength is really disappointing.

"Even if their weapons are advanced and their manufacturing capabilities are developed, wars are always fought by people. As long as we use tactics reasonably, there may not be no chance."

In fact, Haug said, he didn't believe it himself.

But there is no way, if he wants to achieve his goal, he must not let the Qing surrender.

So, even if he couldn't fight, he said he could fight.

"Yes, even if the north can't hold it, we can go back to dormant outside the border again."

Sony said he also supports resistance.

In his view, the worst situation is nothing more than returning to the customs, relying on Shanhaiguan, they can continue to enjoy the blessings outside the customs.

"We can also contact Zhu Yujian in the south and unite with him to deal with Wu Changqing. I think Zhu Yujian is more anxious than us now."

Mao Wenci also firmly supported continued

Recalcitrant, he worried that after the surrender of the entire court, he would have no face to go to the Dahua court to become an official.

After all, Wu Changqing once said to him in front of everyone, let him wait and see.

This was a thorn in his heart, a hurdle that he couldn't get past.

Seeing these people talk more and more vigorously, as if they can compete with Dahua, Fan Wencheng shook his head.

In his opinion, these people in front of him are just self-deception and self-comfort.

Even when Wu Changqing was still weak, they couldn't beat him.

Now Wu Changqing has grown up completely, occupying the most fertile land in the world, and developing by leaps and bounds.

Under such circumstances, wanting to compete with Wu Changqing is simply wishful thinking.

Joint Zhu Yujian? Zhu Yujian can't protect himself now, so what's the use of joining forces.

As for returning to the outside of the customs, can you live with a Shanhaiguan?

Haven't you heard that all the soldiers of the Wu Army can fly to the sky. No matter how high the Shanhaiguan Pass is, can it stop the people in the sky?

As for what tactical strategy Hauge said, Fan Wencheng was even more speechless.

In terms of tactical strategies, how could these Eight Banner generals be the opponents of the Han Chinese?

In the final analysis, entering the customs is just a big gamble, winning the early bet is just an accident, and it is a normal and reasonable situation to fail now.

China's thousands of years of history and culture are sinking to the bottom, how can it be so easily conquered.

After everyone clamored for a while, in the end, Hauge, who had the right to speak, set the tone. Reject Wu Changqing's proposal and resist to the end.
