Chapter 1067: The Power of the Tank

Among them, there may be a reason for the lack of salary and silver for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, or maybe it is because they don't want to provoke such a powerful existence of the Five-Star Army immediately. But even if they didn't kill anyone, but the search for wealth has made some caravans who cooperated with Shicheng miserable, and during this time, many merchants came to the door and complained to Humang, according to them, they would rather give the money to the five-star army than cheapen those Liaodu iron horses.

The emergence of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry has greatly changed many people's views on Beiming. Is this still the army that claims to be the superior of the Heavenly Empire? How can he act so savagely, and what is the difference between him and those robbers on the steppe?

Is this still the Han people who eat grass? There was a five-star army before, and now there is the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Northern Ming Dynasty, what changed them?

For this matter, Hu Mang also sent a telegram to Yang Chendong more than once, asking if he wanted to attack them, after all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and it is enough to have a five-star army on the grassland.

Yang Chendong suppressed Hu Mang's plan to make a move, he now has the target to eat, this is a country with a population of more than 10 million, if you want to conquer them, the preparation must be very thorough.

The Japanese people are very capable of giving birth, which can be seen from the name, what Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang... There are even Shichiro Hachiro's, which may have something to do with the environment they live in, and also have something to do with their development over the years, it is extremely easy for each region to go it alone, and even sometimes two counties that are very close to each other will be regarded as fire and water, and they will start fighting. At that time, whoever has the most people often has an advantage.

For a country with such a large population, Yang Chendong must be fully prepared, and there is no room for distraction. Not to mention, in his heart, it is difficult to divide the world for a long time, and the three-legged stand is the most stable.

Beiming, Nanming, plus their own existence, it is these three-legged support that can ensure that either side must take care of the opponent when it makes a move.

While rejecting Hu Mang's idea of starting on the grassland, he also asked him to prepare to transfer the New Third Army, which had been formed for a year, to North Korea, and to prepare for an attack on the Japanese state.

The implementation of paper money is not Yang Chendong's initiative, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the paper money policy, the issuance of Ming treasure banknotes and copper coins at the same time. However, the Ming treasure banknote does not have a fixed issuance limit, and there is no reserve, which soon leads to inflation, and now the Ming treasure banknote on the market has been constrained, although there is still circulation, but the purchasing power has been very limited.

Especially with the sudden rise of Yang Chendong, whether it is the Northern Ming Dynasty or the Southern Ming Dynasty, in order to achieve their own goals, they have vigorously printed Daming treasure banknotes, which directly led to market chaos.

With this experience, Yang Chendong certainly will not let the same mistake happen to him, and the Han coins he issued this time must not only succeed, but also be strong for a long time. To this end, he vigorously developed the gold mines found on the islands of the Great Philippines as a reserve fund to prepare for the promotion of the Han currency to the market.

"The first is to prevent counterfeiting, the second is to publicize in place, and the third point is also the most important, that is, it must not be published at will, and the number of reserves can only be printed as many Han coins, so as to achieve the goal of the same value as gold and silver." Yang Chendong said with a serious face to the city lord Yu Qian and some of the heads of the Yang family's banks.

After all, the circulation of gold and silver, the loss is too large, in the long run, the country and the people will ultimately suffer, it can be said that the issuance of paper Han currency is already a very necessary thing.

After handing over the occurrence of the Han currency to the specialists, Yang Chendong began to dispatch troops, this time preparing to deal with the Wa State, he was ready to take 150,000 troops to go, which can be called the largest number of soldiers in the army he led.

Among them, the New Third Army is already making preparations for mobilization, and there are also such as the First Division of the Cavalry in the World that must be carried, this is a very elite force, with them, many things will be done with half the effort. Then there are the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Sea, as well as the 1st, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions of the Reserve, adding up to nearly 150,000 people.

Not only was the army ready to march to Korea to assemble, but Yang Chendong also prepared six million people to go to the Japanese state. For example, the Luzon side has to prepare a population of 5 million, and even the provinces and regions have to prepare a total of 1 million people. It's ready to be uprooted.

At the same time as the transfer of work, Yang Chendong also took the opportunity to inspect some important industries in the Red Embedded City, that is, the arsenal is Yang Chendong's key concern. Two years ago, he drove a Type 99 tank from the warehouse and put it in it, and now that such a long time has passed, he is curious to know how the imitation works.

Imitation is one of the main guidelines for the development of Yang's industry. First there is a finished product, there is a method, and then try to learn to do it, and then you will go out of your own way. It's like how many products and even firearms are made. The Han people, who have a history of 5,000 years of civilization, have never lacked wise people.

But this time Yang Chendong was a little disappointed. There are too many things and materials involved in the tank, although there is already a finished product in front of everyone, but I have not seen how he uses it, how to exert his power, even if he wants to imitate it, he can't find a way.

So this time Yang Chendong came to the arsenal to show the method of using tanks.

Clear. In addition to the necessary relevant scientific personnel and the main leaders of the arsenal, other idle people have been cleared out of this area. Then Yang Chendong walked into this big "iron weapon" with a tank hat on his head.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the tank filled with fuel was launched, and with a roar, it walked out of the secret workshop that had been parked and appeared in the empty playground.

This scene brought too much stimulation to everyone, and the roaring sound had already frightened everyone, and when they saw that this thing could already move just under the drive of one person, all the people present widened their eyes, and they looked stupid by being shocked.

Then came an even more shocking scene. When the tank arrived at the playground, it first drove quickly, skillfully turned, knocked down several obstacles along the way, and then stood still and fired at a predetermined area on the hill in the distance.

With a booming bang, the target area was hit several miles away, and puffs of smoke came out.

"Plop!"

This eye-popping scene caused everyone present to kneel, even the city lord Yu Qian, who accompanied Yang Chendong for many years, and Yang Er and others, who had long been accustomed to all kinds of miracles, also knelt on the ground.

Yang Chendong is very powerful, and he was once called a god, as if he was a god. But even if they were fully prepared, the moment they saw the shells go out, everyone was shocked and fell to their knees. They didn't dare to imagine that if this iron guy was on a large scale, once he appeared on the battlefield, who would be able to stop it? I'm afraid that when the time comes, just such a rush, thousands of troops will be scared stupid and scattered.

When everyone knelt on the ground, the tank went out of fire and stopped. Yang Chendong, who was wearing a tank cap, got out of the cockpit, and his appearance caused a loud shout like the shaking of heaven and earth.

"Okay, this thing is a bit of a god, and it's more about technology. So, you choose two people, and I'll teach them how to drive and operate. When Yang Chendong's voice resounded on the training ground, for the sake of these two places, the people below could be said to be blushing, they all wanted to feel the power of this iron guy, and they all wanted to have close contact with the gods.

For ten days, except for returning to the palace at night to visit his son and daughter, Yang Chendong stayed in the training ground most of the time. And this place has been taken over by the dragon guards, and no one is allowed to approach without an order, otherwise they have the right to cut it first and then play.

It was precisely because they saw the power of the tank that the dragon guards thought that no matter how high the level of defense was, it was appropriate.

In ten days, the two apprentices taught by Yang Chendong were barely out of school, and then they could only reach the level of practice makes perfect after continuous practice. Subsequently, Yang Chendong left the training ground and returned to the palace, where news had already come from the Wa Kingdom that civil strife had begun, and at this moment it was April 1457.

Time back half a month ago, the Japanese country Kyoto Heiankyo.

Princess Junko, who returned to the Wa Kingdom for two years, gave full play to her strengths and established an academy called Zhenxing. And a wide range of students, under the advanced knowledge impartation, is constantly expanding the influence.

When the revitalization college was first established, it did not attract the attention of others, but on the contrary, it attracted ridicule from everyone. In the Wa Kingdom, the status of women is inherently subordinate to men, and they often believe that women are virtuous if they are not talented than Huaxia, even if Junko is the identity of a princess.

Fortunately, Junko's move was supported by the Emperor, his father, the Empress Hanazono Emperor. There is no way to do this, his son Narihito is still young, only fifteen years old, and Junko, who has already passed twenty, has naturally become a person valued by the emperor.

Speaking of which, the emperor just has a good name, but life is not easy. History of the Wa Kingdom Since the end of the Heian period, the power of the emperor, who had absolute control over the Wa country, began to be lost, and in 1192 A.D., when Minamoto Yoritomo established the Kamakura Shogunate, the emperor began to fall and became a puppet of the Kamakura Shogunate.

In the history that followed, the emperor became a puppet of the Muromachi shogunate.

For more than 600 years, the emperor was a puppet of the shogunate, and not only did he have no real power, but he also sometimes had problems with food, clothing, housing, transportation, and ceremonies, the most representative of which was the 103rd Emperor Gotogomon. That is, Junko's younger brother.
