There were not many people in the Qing Dynasty who paid attention to naval commanders. In Huang Taiji's view, it was estimated that there were Dorgon, Jirgalang, and Daishan, and the rest of them would not care about it at all. Even Haoge did not care much, which shows that Haoge lacked vision.

Huang Taiji never considered the issue of heirs. He thought he was still young and in good health and didn't need to consider this matter at all. However, Fan Wencheng reminded him that the matter of heirs is the biggest problem in a country. If the heirs cannot be clear or do not have enough strength, it is the biggest danger in this country. If the heirs are prepared for the future, the issue of heirs must be considered as soon as possible.

Because Fan Wencheng's reminder, Huang Taiji took it seriously, and this consideration shocked him into a cold sweat. The power of the Dorgon brothers was extraordinary, Dai Shan was the oldest, and Jirgalang was not weak, including Ajige, all of whom had certain strength. These people may not be able to ascend the throne, but they had a huge impact on the future emperor. If he decided on his heir and could not subdue these people, what would happen? Only ghosts knew.

Fan Wencheng suggested that the navy should be established separately and not be wrapped with the Eight Banners Army. As for the source of the sergeants, they can be recruited from the Manchus and Han people, mainly Manchus. The specifications of the navy are similar to those of the Eight Banners Army, with a slightly larger number of people, and tentatively set to be about 10,000 people. After forming the navy, you must be strictly trained and become another powerful army of the Qing Dynasty. The commander of the navy must be personally served by the emperor. Such an arrangement can attract the attention of the navy and receive many preferential policies, so as not to be neglected.

Huang Taiji carefully considered Fan Wencheng's suggestions and thought it made sense, but in detail, Fan Wencheng directly suggested Haoge why he tended to be Haoge? This involves royal affairs. As a Han Chinese, Fan Wencheng was not good at speaking, but Fan Wencheng mentioned the issue of heirs before, and he was undoubtedly inclined.

Huang Taiji admired the Han people's meticulous thinking. This was actually a series of things. Arranging Haoge as the commander of the navy was actually to strengthen Haoge's strength. Now Haoge is commanding the Zhenglan Banner, and there are not many sergeants in the first place. If the navy can be controlled, its strength will be greatly increased.

The establishment of the Qing Dynasty navy would greatly increase the expenses of the Qing Dynasty, but such investment is worth it and must be done. If the situation changes, some expenses cannot be saved.

As expected, there are indeed not many people paying attention to the problems of the navy.

After Huang Taiji proposed to form a navy, the first person to speak was Ajige.

Ajige believed that the navy had little effect. The Qing Dynasty had always relied on the Eight Banners Army, and the cavalry was invincible in the world. With these silver, it was better to invest in the Eight Banners Army and improve the treatment of soldiers. This was the right way. Even if you want to form a navy, you don’t need special investment. If the Eight Banners Army wants to attack the Ming Dynasty, you can use warship transportation, and there is no need for special training.

Ajige's suggestion has sparked some discussion. Some people think this opinion is correct. It is necessary for the Qing Dynasty to have warships, but the main function of these warships is still in terms of transportation. Fighting is not very effective. There is no need to train specifically and maintain its current state.

Huang Taiji didn't say anything. He didn't want to refute this short-sighted view for the time being. Ajige and others were not sensitive to the changes in the border situation and still held the old ideas of the past. This would definitely fall apart. It doesn't matter if Ajige and others had such an understanding. They must not see this way. They must stick to their own understanding.

After Ajige finished speaking, Dorgon stood up.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the establishment of the navy is necessary. The border of the Ming Dynasty has become stronger and stronger in recent years. If our Eight Banners Army attacks the border, it may cause huge casualties. In this case, we must find another way and establish a navy is the best way. As for what the twelfth brother said to maintain the current state, I do not agree very much. The role of the navy is huge. I have a deep understanding of this conquest of Dengzhou and Laizhou. If the warships are fully responsible for transportation, once they encounter the Ming Navy, they will inevitably cause major casualties. The soldiers led by me are not familiar with naval battles, and most of them are seasick. Many of them cannot get up after a day of boarding the boat. They must strengthen training. I believe that it is necessary to form a navy, and the training of the navy must be strengthened to turn our Qing Dynasty into an invincible navy."

Dorgon had the most say. It was Dorgon's first use of the warships of the Qing Dynasty. He also achieved such great results, plundered countless wealth and food, and completely destroyed Dengzhou and Laizhou. This personal feeling is unexperienced by outsiders. Therefore, after Dorgon spoke, many people calmed down.

Daishan also spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think what the 14th brother said makes sense. It is necessary for our Qing Dynasty to establish a naval army. I think that if we establish a naval army, we must be of high standards. According to what the 14th brother said, we will build our Qing Dynasty naval army into an invincible naval army in the world, so that the Ming Dynasty's naval army trembles in front of our Qing Dynasty naval army. In this way, our Qing Dynasty's Eight Banner Army and the naval army are the strongest, and the Ming Dynasty will be unable to defend, and the importance of the Guanning Jin defense line has also been greatly weakened."

Huang Taiji nodded slightly. Jiang is old, and Dai Shan’s understanding is indeed extraordinary. Dorgon has his own experience. Dai Shan has never been in contact with a navy. It is very good to have such an understanding.

Jirgalang also spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to establish a navy, and intensive training is also necessary..."

All three princes spoke, but Haoge had not spoken yet.

Huang Taiji was a little depressed. His son was not going to fight to kill the enemy. He was very brave. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a string missing in his mind. It was not a sensitive issue. In this case, no matter whether he thought about it or not, he should have expressed his attitude. Unfortunately, Haoge just didn't understand.
