"If I had the chance, I would like to see the sunset over the river with my own eyes. But if I want to go, I will go, and if I don't want to go, I will not go. This is the wish. If the son insists on recruiting me to go with him, this is not a clear guest, but a doorman. ”

"Doorman...... You'll have to add money. ”

Liu Yu praised: "Principled! I know. The word confidant is not so cheap. I'm not your confidant yet, so where can I talk about following? ”

"What Childe said is extremely true."

Kang didn't explain much, and he didn't even bother to explain.

If you don't even understand this, it's not interesting.

"But I have one more condition."

"Speak!" Without hesitation.

Liu Yu knew that from now on, he had to form his own henchmen. Under the imperial power, you need to know the danger.

But at this time, it is not impossible to call the staff, you have to walk on the same road for a while, and many official things cannot be done by yourself.

The previous chaos and the reform of the imperial examination system, as well as the ideological confusion brought about by the eastward expansion of Western learning and the thawing of science, have made the people have a lot of talents. You can snare some.

It's very good, and it can indeed take out some talented people.

The palace test must rely on strategy, after all, it is to select future court officials, and they need to be knowledgeable.

But if Xiucai only looks at strategy, it will be a little overkill...... How much experience does Xiucai have, and what kind of national policy can he write?

Later, some people said: The scope of policy theory is too large, history, politics, ethics, philosophy, metaphysics is a category, economy, military system, water conservancy, geography, astronomy, etc., where can a person know so much, so he has no choice but to know what he does not know, and then he actually thinks he knows, and then he misleads the country and the people.

Those who study strategy all day long are inherently talented scholars, but there are many people who talk about it and pretend to be amazing.

The Kang Bu slack in front of him is also a person who has been writing strategies since he was a child.

However, it is not only some ambition and insight, but also has a father to guarantee that this person has talent and learning, which can be used.

Hearing Kang Buxi's conditions, Liu Yu agreed very happily.

Kang Buxian saw that Liu Yu asked him to speak, so he was not polite, and said: "At that time, I will do what the son ordered." The time that is done is mine. It's my time, what do I do, please leave it alone, and please don't let me follow me like a fart all day long. If this article is not agreed, I will still be a guest in the house. ”

"Well said. In the story, isn't it the same for Feng Yan's governance? ”

"I can't compare myself. But since the son agreed, I promised. At this time, the wine will be strong, why not take this opportunity to talk about the idea of the policy, and I will wave it? ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "This is not in a hurry. I've got a few books here, so take them and read them first. ”

I flipped out the things I wrote about the Western countries and sent them to Kang Buxian, Kang Buxian didn't look through them on the spot, and after putting them away, he said: "In this case, then I'll go back to read the book first." After I finish reading, I will look for my son. ”

I didn't drink the wine, but I had the best time today. Although Kang Buxian was hungry for those wines, he didn't stay for long, he just wanted to go back and finish reading the book quickly, so that he could get down to business.

If you can do it well, I think there will be no shortage of food and drink in the future.

Liu Yu got up to send him off, and took out two bottles of wine to him, only saying that he couldn't taste anything, and this wine met people who didn't know how to taste wine and only knew how to be dizzy and sleepy to relieve fatigue, which should be regarded as a cow chewing peony.

Kang did not slack off or shirk, accepted the wine, and pointed to some of the remaining duck paw fruit on the table: "Who knows that the Chinese food and grains on the plate are all hard." Thinking about it, the boy didn't eat these things, so I just took them to drink. ”

After that, he cleaned up the leftovers on the table, borrowed a food box, and left.

"That's a wonderful guy."

Looking at the departing back, Liu Yu smiled, thinking that such a person is weird, it must be extraordinary.

This little wine was not yet drunk, and he was half-kneeling on the table, pondering what to do next.

Now that the emperor has a private favor, and the pot has also been backed, the emperor intends to make himself "justifiable", and now the gunman has also been found.

I don't know what the emperor is going to do next.

Thinking about it, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is to send troops to train and train a strong army that "has a controlled army, and incompetent generals can also win."

The second possibility is what Liu Yu said that day about North Korea, Japan, and the immigration to Nu'er Gandusi. It's impossible to say that the emperor really wants to try.

As for going to the south to be a sailor or something, it should be something that only exists in a dream.

One is that there is no money, and the other is that Dashun has to keep an eye on Dzungaria, and if he has money, he will use it on the blade.

Three ...... Now the situation in Dashun is really special: raw silk, porcelain, these things, sitting at the door of the house, there are Westerners who come from thousands of miles to send money. They also have no ability to sail to Europe to bypass second-lane traffickers to make money.

At least at this time, the South is not a breakthrough with quick results.

It requires long-term investment and late returns, and the emperor's temperament will definitely not invest money in this at this time.

If it is a military training, it is not too difficult.

Liu Yu himself understands a little that the north fought with the Rakshasa and captured a lot of prisoners.

There is also a Hannibal who attended a French military academy and served in the French army as an officer.

The flintlock pistol formation and cavalry charge method cannot be solved with a pat on the head, but are reproduced by countless details and detailed drills.

Every step of the drill is the experience of tens of thousands of people's blood, and it can be said that it is useless to increase or decrease a single point.

The most basic wedge charge, how to use discipline to make the whole overcome the advantage of individual riding skills, this is a lot of attention. If you haven't gone to a special military school, you will definitely not be able to play.

Although Hannibal studied military engineering, which is somewhat interdistritic, he should also understand this basic thing. It is said that he is also a person who has mixed in the salon of the French aristocracy, and he has never eaten pork and seen a pig run.

If you have talent, as long as you give money and get guns, it is not difficult to train the troops.

But if the emperor has the heart to try the second article, that is, the affairs of Korea, Japan, and immigration, then he needs to make more preparations.

It's one thing to use it or not, and it's another thing to be ready when you use it.

On the North Korean issue, Liu Yu can't get involved, which is related to the diplomatic policy of the imperial court.

The Celestial Empire's direct intervention in the affairs of the vassal was a challenge to the long-standing tradition of "the Son of Heaven does not govern the barbarians", and it was bound to cause an uproar.

That's not something you can decide, let the Heavenly Blessing Hall and the courtiers discuss it slowly.

Moreover, the emperor also clearly told Liu Yu to "hide" for a while, so it was naturally not good to come back at this time.

Sailing technology, don't worry about this.

Liu Yu captured the leaders of a series of Tsarist Russian expeditions such as Bering, Cherikov, and Sven, all of whom were famous figures in the history of human geographical discoveries.

The Acropolis of Mount Muruhan was breached, and some carpenters who were building ships for the Bering expedition were also captured.

Boats are not a problem either.

Liu Yu's difficulties in the immigration plan of the entire Korea, Japan, and Nuer Gandu Division are actually in Japan.

In North Korea, trade can also make some money, but it is obviously not enough. Selling Korean ginseng can't make a few dollars.

If you want to make money and use money to immigrate, you have to rely on Japanese trade.

However, Japan is now closed to the rest of the country, and a joke has just been made a few years ago: Japan has changed its yuan to "Zhengde," and in view of the massive loss of precious metals such as silver and copper, the increasing number of foreign goods, and the need to guard against the resurgence of Catholicism, Japan's trade policy has become more conservative.

A special token is required to allow trade in Nagasaki.

This trade policy was issued during the "Zhengde" period in Japan, so the word "Zhengde" written on the token is also in Chinese.

This made the customs officers of Dashun very surprised: Aren't they those Nanming people who crossed to Japan in the east, and this is preparing to oppose Shun and restore Ming? Or do they want to use the name of "revenge for the crooked neck tree of Ming" to make another wave of trouble?

Otherwise, why is there a pre-dynasty era on the trade token? Could it be a token?

So he was detained for a year and strictly forbidden to trade with Japan until it was clear what was going on.

Not long after this joke passed, Japan's policy of locking off the country was already strict, so that many cargo ships in Dashun lost the opportunity to trade with Japan after experiencing the "Zhengde" turmoil.

However, Dashun lacks copper, but fortunately, Yunnan folk copper mines have developed greatly in recent years, so there is a saying that "Yunnan has copper mines" Yu Jiafu.

Japan has a lot of copper, so it is natural to want to trade more with Japan.

However, in recent years, Japan has exported a large amount of silver and copper, and has introduced policies to quantitatively trade: a certain amount of copper is exported every year, on a first-come, first-served basis, and ships without trade tokens have no chance to trade at all.

Smuggling is fine for anything else, but if you want to get a large amount of copper, you don't have to think about it.

If you want to solve this problem, it is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say.

At this time, the shogun of Japan was carrying out reforms and restoring the tradition of "eagle hunting", hoping to let the Japanese samurai practice mounted archery.

Mounted archery is also a traditional art of the Japanese samurai - the imaginary Mongolian conquest of Japan, it is the Mongolian cavalry archery against the Japanese katana, but in fact, it is the heavy infantry plus firearms such as the earthquake thunder to fight against the samurai cavalry archery - the deputy marshal of the Mongolian expedition to the east, was injured by the Japanese samurai cavalry in the horseback shooting, which is about boiling the eagle pecking out of the eye?

However, Japan does not have good horses, and the riding and archery technology has also seriously degraded in recent years, and the horses have degraded almost like mules: whether it is the Dashun Han generals or Mongolia, Japan's horses and mounted archery are far behind.

Again, Japan's ambitions have not died, and it still hopes to spy on Dashun's military intelligence.

Although many traders who were engaged in trade knew everything about Japan, those who were engaged in trade were not strong enough to have access to the real thing. There is a problem with the stuff that I said, and the Japanese are not stupid.

Then there is the lesson of Wanli's aid to the dynasty, coupled with some Japanese wandering samurai who were recruited to fight against Dashun at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the exiled Chezhi Dan samurai, etc., all made Dashun wary of Japan.

In addition, Japan does not pay tribute at all, but vainly tries to engage in a "small tributary system", so the Dashun side of the trade with Japan has also been very strict, and those merchants can't bring any useful information.

On the Japanese side, in order to obtain improved horse breeds, mounted archery techniques, and military secrets of Dashun, they must pay high prices.

A horse that has not been castrated can be exchanged for a trade token with Japan, a silver bounty, and a certain amount of copper trade.

A samurai instructor who is proficient in Mongolian cavalry and archery can also exchange a trade token for a trade token with Japan, as well as a silver and copper trade volume.

Of course, there are also things like Dashun's military system and code system. All can be exchanged for trade licenses and copper.

This kind of thing, if Liu Yu doesn't want to die, he must report it first and get the emperor's permission before he can do it.

Horses and mounted archery, not much of a problem.

Mounted archery is a thing that is eliminated, let the Japanese samurai play eagle.

Horses, without systematic breeding technology and animal husbandry technology, it is useless to get a hundred heads.

The military system, armament situation, weapons and equipment, this requires the emperor's permission, and a few of the henchmen of the children's army are selected to engage in strategic deception: not only to deceive the Japanese, but also to get a trade license by the way, in exchange for the copper that Dashun urgently needs to mint money, and the money that Liu Yu urgently needs.

This person needs to be absolutely loyal, and he must be a spy of the Children's Army, and he must be picked by the emperor.

In addition to these few things that Liu Yu can't decide, there are many things left, and they must be prepared in advance and prepared.

Once the emperor is really ready to arrange Liu Yu to deal with the second matter, then Liu Yu should prepare enough people and things in advance.

A few staff members who know Japanese, and at least one henchman who understands Japanese.

A few staff officers, compiling a set of ineffective and harmful military armaments that could deceive the Japanese shogunate, who was well versed in military affairs; It sounds like a tactical system that justifies itself, but it's actually completely wrong.

And......

Some Cossack captives who could raise and breed horses convinced the emperor that the Rakshasa horse breeding method, plus some Karabakh horses and Hanoverian horses captured by Liu Yu, could breed better military horses with the native Mongolian horses - so it was a deal to cheat a few castrated Mongolian horses to Japan in exchange for enough copper and silver.

An analysis of the absolute superiority of the flintlock infantry over mounted archery was such that the emperor could allow a few Mongol horsemen to go to Japan to teach mounted archery that was already due to be eliminated.

These must be solved before the big exam in the autumn Wude Palace, and once the name is justified, it can be implemented immediately.

Fortunately, the family circle is here, looking for people in the circle of honors and nobles, and using the connections in the southern customs, it is not difficult to find a few good families who understand Japanese. The merchants who often go to Nagasaki are certainly not good, although there are loyal and patriotic people, but there are also those who forget their righteousness and cannot see people's hearts clearly.
