Shipbuilding and Navigation
On October 20, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Beibing Entering Zhendingjian in the river, twenty-six famous cities were captured in one day. The military department was all assigned to Lu Yinglin, who was the most vigorous at the time. The first strategy he proposed was to sail and attack the heart. He said that he would build three thousand ships and send sixty thousand troops to the east of Denglai. Hui, sail across the Liao Dynasty, and if the enemy knows it, he will quickly return to rescue him and leave without attacking. The first batch of votes was drafted, and the plan was particularly clever. The ministry quickly reviewed and discussed it. The Ministry of Industry replied: Shipbuilding is definitely the responsibility of the Chen Yamen, but according to the old rules of Huidian, if construction is started due to military affairs, the Ministry of Military Affairs will be responsible for its services. The ministers only agreed to make 1,500. Please allow it. With the two departments of soldiers and workers, work can be started quickly, and the burden is half offloaded to the military department. However, the start of construction is still expected to be under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry. The shipbuilding costs are three thousand, and the value of each ship is two thousand taels of silver. The government should pay six million in money and grain. The Ministry of Works estimated and commented: The Ministry's current treasury is vast, and the shipping fee is divided into three million. We are at a loss what to do, and things must be done. We are planning day and night. There are some prefectures such as Kaifeng, Henan, and they have accumulated materials that are owed to the Ministry. The price was seven hundred and hundreds of thousands of silver, but there was no such item. Listening to Chen Tsona, he immediately sent someone to pay for it within a short time, thinking that the cost of building the ship was reasonable. At that time, Kaifeng's river embankment was blocked by thieves, and the city walls were now underwater. The superior agreed, and urgently consulted the Ministry of War to request three million yuan for the construction work. The Ministry of War said: The ministers and ministers dare to recommend what is needed for the army, but building three million ships cannot be achieved by twisting fingers. What's more, when this storehouse is like a wash, and there is no external solution, a clever woman can make a meal without rice. I investigated Fengyang and other prefectures and found out that I owed more than 800,000 yuan in silver for the horse-making of the Ministry of Finance. I urged them to pay it in advance and use it to pay for the shipbuilding of the Ministry of Works. Now that I have money and food, I don't have to worry about it. The superior agreed. The original intention of the Ministry of Industry was to borrow tens of thousands of dollars from the Ministry of War in order to build up the scale of the factory. It did not mean that the Ministry of War would stop with just a blank paper, but it was actually the same as the Ministry's game. It was to beg for mercy from the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who said: Today's Shandong Province The road stems were engraved with the dangers of Geng and Gui. He had no time to save himself, so he turned to knock on his fellow villagers. He also asked Qin Wang for four gatherings. The storage and stables were all empty. He was embarrassed by two fine cloth merchants in the East and West Jiangmi Lane and ordered the ticket holder to stay in the capital. The official treasury of Suzhou and Hangzhou exchanged silver, and the number of people who responded was only a hundred. There were more than a thousand people, but not half a million, and they were only scattered. It is already the middle of leap November. The troops then entered Shandong and defeated Yan and Qing prefectures, as well as small towns in prefectures and counties. The price of shipbuilding was two taels of silver according to the decree, and the matter was investigated by the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry was afraid that those who suggested it would get involved in it, and it was a plan to escape the shell and see how it changed. The previous article said: The cost of shipbuilding, two ministries Although they have been planning paintings, the nine-door painting business is now closed, and there is no way to buy oil-nailed boards. There is no way to hire craftsmen as helmsmen, and the army must be marched without delay. What can be done? For this plan, the minister sent Zhu Zhengse, the chief shipbuilder, to the Huai'an Shipyard. He Wuling took him to the factory. Then the materials were ready, the craftsmen gathered, and the merchants gathered together, and they could count on the success. The provincial minister suggested that it would not happen Just empty words. The superior agreed. It was early December. The actual responsibility for this matter lies with Zhu Zhengse. If the righteousness is not golden cicada, I would rather not be afraid of military law. Who knows that the righteous plan is even better, talking about it and listening to it. It is said in a few words that shipbuilding is a matter of heart, and ministers have clever calculations. People share the same hatred, but the ships built under the supervision of ministers transport grain from the locks to the belly. They are not ships that ride on the wind and waves, and sail with the belly. The planks and wood are different, the nails are different, the styles are different, the boats and ships are in different dangers, the ropes are used in different ways, and the husbands and masters have different driving functions. In order to do this, we must source materials from Fujian and Guang, build the building at the end of the sea, and be responsible for the two areas there. It will be completed in a few days, that is, drive from the sea to the north. For this major task, it is necessary to adapt the materials to the location, and the situation is inevitable. I will not dare to It is also seen outside the membrane. Shushang, Zhun moved to the Guangdong and Guangxi governorates and Fujian Kaifu. In the old way, the ministers of the province were sent to the court for no more than five days, and the edict was followed by the ministry. The ministers of the province were sent to the court for about ten days. When all the ministers were sent to the court, they waited for the edict for one month. Zhu Zhengse's decree was obtained in early February of the 16th year. The Metropolitan Procuratorate asked for the imperial edict to be transferred, and it was already the middle of February. It was early September of that year. After seeing the manuscripts from Fujian and Guangdong, they highly praised Kechen's strategy. Later, he said that Kechen and others were in dire straits and were eager to start construction. However, now that the Northern troops have been sent out, Haiyu clarified that there is no need to discuss shipbuilding. By imperial edict, yes.
Zhiyi
On the 24th day of the 11th month of the Renwu period, on the day of Geng Shen Hai, there was an inch of light and fire on the Gongji City sword and sword.
Xu Lianggong, named Yuqin, was born in Jiangyin, Chongzhen Gengchen, was awarded Jinshi, and was awarded the magistrate of Wubao County in Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. At that time, the Qin invaders were blazing, and there were strange birds in the area. They had a human body and a shaggy head. If they flew to the county and sang or roosted, the bandits would soon arrive and the city would be massacred. The bird looks like an owl.
Wuxi records say: At the turn of summer and autumn, epidemics and plagues broke out, and all the people were dying. At the same time, famines and famines followed one after another, and funerals were difficult, with dead bodies exposed and scattered in the countryside.
Notes: The residents of Wuxi are chasing the county magistrate. Previous chapter Return to table of contentsNext chapter
