I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In Shaoxing, in early March, King Lu Zhu Yihai received a battle report from Qian Sule, and Wu Changqing had already led his army to take Jiangning.

Two days later, they again received good news that the Wu army had broken through the outer city walls of Nanjing.

Immediately, there was an uproar in the courtroom. Most of the officials in the courtroom had stayed in Nanjing. They had seen the height of the Nanjing city wall with their own eyes, and they also had a good understanding of its defensive power.

Even the outer city wall is more than eight meters high.

This kind of height can be won in ten days and a half months, which is already considered very fast.

However, it only took Wu Jun two days, more than one day of which was still preparing, and it only took half a day for the real siege to be taken, and the general attack was won.

The description in the battle report about the Wu army's siege of the city also made the officials in the court stunned.

Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they could roughly imagine the scene from the text, and they could feel the power of those new weapons.

On March 6th, the news of Nanjing city breaking arrived in Shaoxing.

This time, they were more than shocked.

"Your Majesty, will this Lord Qian have been captured, and these battle reports are used by the Qing court to confuse us?"

Zhu Dadian's brain was wide open. Although he also knew that this kind of idea was absurd, it was equally absurd that Nanjing City was breached within a few days.

Even if he was killed, he didn't believe that the Qing court's army of 40,000 people did not hold on to the 14-meter wall of the capital for even a day. This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, even if someone should open the city gates internally and externally, it is impossible.

How big is a city gate, it is not bad to squeeze ten soldiers in at a time. Forty thousand troops, he did not believe that the Qing army did not leave some people to block the gate.

"Impossible, with Mr. Qian's iron bones, even if he was defeated and captured, he would never write such a false report. I think this report should be credible. Originally, the morale of the Qing army was low, and Wu Guogong's troops He killed Boluo in the first time, and made the generals of the Qing army dare not take the lead.

As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, it is normal for such an army to be unable to defend. Morale is the key, without the will to resist, Qian Qianyi has not surrendered directly with the army. "

In fact, Zhang Guowei is not very willing to believe this kind of thing, but he is willing to believe in Qian Sule's character.

Moreover, theoretically speaking, it is also possible to break the capital wall one day, that is, the Qing army gave up resistance.

"This minister agrees, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Qian to send a fake battle report. I think that the Qing army may have suffered from the loss of not understanding rifled guns. The commander Boluo was shot and killed at the first time, and the blow to their morale must be fatal. ."

"What exactly is this rifled gun that can take a person's head hundreds of steps away. From now on, which general will dare to stand in front of the army?"

"It's terrifying. In just one month, Wu Guogong wiped out the 160,000 Qing army, captured Nanjing City, killed Boluo, and captured Hong Chengchou and Azhige..."

Above the court, everyone shivered at Wu Changqing's military strength.

With this kind of military power, who else in the world is their rival?

Originally, they thought that the Eight Banners were the most powerful troops, but they did not expect the Eight Banners to be so vulnerable in front of Wu Changqing.

The world is changing so fast that it is difficult for these old antiques to understand, adapt and accept for a while.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty. Duke Wu's recovery of the old capital is something that I am very happy to congratulate. When Your Majesty returns to the old capital, he will order the world and unify the world just around the corner."

Zhang Guowei saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the courtroom, and quickly guided the topic.

This is a great event for the restoration of the old capital. Why did everyone not feel happy, but instead looked terrified, this is really inappropriate.

Although, Wu Changqing's actions on weekdays are very inconsistent with the rules of the court. However, no matter what, Wu Changqing is still loyal to their court.

Wu Changqing recaptured Nanjing. In the eyes of outsiders, it was their imperial court that recaptured Nanjing. This kind of thing that deserves to be celebrated all over the world should naturally be celebrated happily.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for recovering the old capital and revitalizing the glory of Daming."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning a good general, the revival of Ming Dynasty is just around the corner."

"I invite Your Majesty to return to the old capital, officially ascend the throne and become emperor, establish orthodoxy, and take charge of Kyushu."

Others also reacted and congratulated each other.

And Zhu Yihai's mood at this time was very complicated, very, very complicated.

On the one hand, he was delighted with the recapture of Nanjing, which was his dream. On the other hand, he was worried about Wu Changqing's powerful strength.

As a king, no one likes that his subordinates are too powerful and dazzling.

As the supreme ruler, the king hopes that he is the most dazzling one. How can the prestige of his subjects surpass himself.

No monarch would like his ministers who were high and mighty, so they would be on pins and needles, having trouble sleeping and eating.

Under normal circumstances, after a courtier's power and merits are too great, the emperor will let him idle at home and keep him idle with glory and wealth, and will not let him go to war and make contributions.

Unfortunately, in the era of war, Zhu Yihai had to rely on Wu Changqing, so he didn't play a good balance, which led to Wu Changqing's rising prestige, which had threatened his status.

What makes Zhu Yihai even more helpless is that in the face of this situation, he has no way to change.

He also wanted to be like his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, killing heroes and consolidating military power.

However, the world has not yet settled down, so doing this is simply the heart of the people in the world, forcing

The soldiers on the front line betrayed and rebelled.

More importantly, even if he dared to take the risk of the world to deprive Wu Changqing of his military power, in actual operation, he may not be able to succeed.

After all, not every courtier is as honest and honest as Yue Fei, and he will obey any orders.

Judging from Wu Changqing's past performances, his character is completely different from Yue Fei's. If he directly deprives him of his military power, maybe he will dare to come directly to the side of the Qing Jun, or he may become a king himself.

Although there were many worries in his heart, Zhu Yihai did not show it.

In front of the courtiers who support him, he also needs to show enough self-confidence and give the courtiers confidence. If he takes the lead in panic, his subordinates will be even more emboldened to support him.

At that time, maybe these courtiers will secretly be loyal to Wu Changqing.

Zhu Yihai pretended to be very happy and said, "It's all thanks to all the Aiqings and all the officers and men to serve."

Zhu Yihai was quietly downplaying Wu Changqing's role, saying it was everyone's credit.

However, it is enough to fool the common people with such words, how could it fool these officials.

No matter how Zhu Yihai downplayed it, it is impossible for everyone to ignore that Nanjing City was conquered under the leadership of Wu Changqing.

There are smart courtiers who have been able to perceive Zhu Yihai's attitude from Zhu Yihai's words.

And these people have all kinds of ideas in their hearts.

There are ignorant loyalists who recognize Zhu Yihai's attitude very much, and they also feel that they should put a little pressure on Wu Changqing, so as not to gain the upper hand, affect the stability of the court, and affect the rule of Ming Dynasty.

But there were also nimble ministers, who decided that Wu Changqing would not stand still. If Zhu Yihai wanted to suppress Wu Changqing, it would be another bloody storm.

When this happens, they have to consider how to stand in line.
