Chapter 435 Yan Huang five years
It's time to send troops, and Yamaki is excited and regretful!
After the end of the Cotton-Earth War, half of the dead and wounded, and only 60,000 horses remained, the Han Japanese army also gained the trust of the empire.
The Han and Japanese had 60,000 horses, divided into 30,000 firearms, 20,000 armor shield soldiers and 10,000 heavy cavalry, and were even equipped with 20 field guns and 100 shotguns.
After the main Han army was replaced with Yanhuang artillery, the three feudal armies also began to install front-loading artillery.
The military meeting was very brief, and Chen Xiong sighed as soon as he left.
fled back to Lingnan in the first year, unified Lingnan and recovered Anbei in the second year, sent troops to Huaihai in the third year, and destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty in the same year, and recovered Jiangnan in the fourth year, that is, in the first year of the Yanhuang Empire; In the fifth year, Yanhuang recovered the north and south of the Yellow River, and in the sixth year, Yanhuang recovered the eastern Liaodong and eastern steppes; In the seventh year, in the fourth year of Yanhuang, Moxi and southwest were recovered; Now it's the eighth year, and it's also the fifth year of Yanhuang.
In the past seven years, the war has continued, and the former girl has grown into a young woman, and the little baby who could only cry and crawl back then has now begun to enter the school.
The military conference ended, and the military, government, and civilian congress also came to an end.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the eighth year of the establishment of the Han army and the fifth year of the establishment of the empire, the achievements of the empire and the territory of the empire are stronger than those of the peak of the Han and Tang dynasties. The vassal states of the empire reached the Black Sea to the west. Wu Jiu's voice reached everyone's ears through a simple megaphone, and although it was very distorted, it was also very shocking.
After Wu Jiu finished speaking, everyone immediately applauded spontaneously, even the representatives of the gentry who had lost most of their privileges had to admit: The powerful Yanhuang Empire is really unprecedented.
The northern Hulu, which had plagued the Han people for 2,000 years, have now become friendly citizens, and even the kingdom of Simon in the west has taken the initiative to return to the vassal.
After the applause ended, he also went to Lin Guozhong to summarize the specific achievements of the empire.
"Now the empire has a main army of more than one million, and the city guards and government servants have a total of 1.5 million, but the empire's finances can fully afford it, mainly because the army's military rations and most of the military salaries are provided by the emperor."
The two million troops of the empire are all real numbers, and they are elite soldiers who can go to the battlefield. The powerful army of the empire was also the reason why the gentry were desperate and did not dare to move.
After a pause, Lin Guozhong said again: "Now the empire is completely self-sufficient in grain, and the aquaculture, fishing, and animal husbandry have also tripled. Steel production was two million tonnes last year and is expected to reach three million tonnes by the end of this year. The cement road will be built through the north and south of the Yangtze River, except for the state capitals of Shudi, and the main road will be built through the state capitals of the whole country next year, of course, except for some areas of the Western Governor's Mansion. The Imperial Capital Railway has already run through Thang Long to Nanjing, and it is planned to connect Beiping with Chengdu and Chang'an in the next three years. The task of the emperor to the government was to connect the counties within ten years of the main road, and the railway to connect all states and provinces within ten years, so that the people could not worry about food and clothing, and ensure that most farmers had meat every day. ”
After Lin Guozhong finished speaking, Wu Jiu said: "Representatives of various departments, this is the emperor's expectation, if the political yuan does not meet the emperor's expectations, then the political yuan and various ministries, as well as the officials of the provinces, prefectures and counties, must be replaced." With education becoming more widespread, there will be no shortage of administrators in the empire in the next five years. ”
The officials' hearts immediately tightened! The Emperor doesn't talk nonsense! Ten years later, if they fail to achieve their goal, I am afraid that they will really have to change blood. They didn't even dare to resist! If you resist, even if you don't die, you will be arrested and sent to Moxi as an immigrant!
The four governors and the three governors will all change their borders in ten years, but the officials of the ministries, state capitals and counties do not want to step down after ten years.
The emperor said that Wu Jiu hoped to retire without being dismissed.
The representatives of the fierce people, who did not want the railway to enter the steppe, did not dare to say a word more. This is the Emperor's strict order, even if they exterminate the clan, they will not be able to stop the Emperor's will.
The next day, the commanders and commanders of the armies also accompanied the emperor to attend the annual meeting of the Academy of Engineering.
Even the emperor was only an observer at the Academy of Engineering, and the protagonists of the meeting were the silver people and many new and old craftsmen.
"The railway goal of the annual meeting of the empire requires us to build the bridge over the Yangtze River and the Yellow River within two years, and the technology is completely feasible, but the specific construction cannot be relaxed. Although the emperor did not strictly require the Academy of Engineering, the head of the undergraduate department also set a ten-year task for you. ”
After taking a sip of tea, Li Ke continued: "According to the report, Western European countries have already produced second-generation steam engines, and it is estimated that in a year or two, their artillery muskets will also be produced in batches, and yellow explosives will be developed sooner or later. In order to maintain its advantage, within ten years, the Academy of Engineering must complete the production technology of 400 mm caliber naval guns, and the research and development of weapons such as semi-automatic rifles and retrovoltains must also keep up! Within ten years, the task of putting the internal combustion engine on the ship and the train must be completed, and we have the information of the Emperor to guide that if it is still lost to the Western Europeans, then the Academy of Engineering can also be dissolved. ”
Regarding electronic technology, Li Ke has no hard requirements, and has now made primary motors. The research on electronics was unusually fast, but it was the naval artillery and internal combustion engines that made Li Ke uneasy.
The Han people are naturally complacent, and now the Han craftsmen are not very keen on the research and development of weapons, they feel that the Han army is already invincible, and there is no need to force it.
Fortunately, a large number of silvers were reincarnated, otherwise the technology of the Academy of Engineering would not have been able to advance much by relying on the older generation of craftsmen alone.
Chen Xiong was also speechless, Han craftsmen were able to quickly produce the first generation of wireless telegraphs and amplifiers, but they were not keen on the development of weapons and internal combustion engines.
What repeating rifles, what machine guns, what long-range rockets, what tens of thousands of tons of ships, what 400-millimeter naval guns! Wu Jiu and the others were confused when they heard it.
The army commanders were even more shocked: 105 heavy artillery was already amazing, and 400 heavy artillery couldn't believe it.
Although Chen Xiong is ignorant of most technologies, he also knows a general principle. With the support of his theory and direction, in just a few years, the technical strength of the Academy of Engineering has reached the period of World War I.
Today, the laboratory is able to produce 300 mm naval guns, but they are too expensive to mass-produce.
Chen Xiong is very satisfied with the progress of the Academy of Engineering, and Western craftsmen are also catching up with copycats, but the technology in the future is not something that cottages can keep up with.
The engineering conference was shorter than the military meeting, and after everyone dispersed, the three major staff officers and Chen Xiong also came to Li Ke's office.
Li Ke was not polite, and said directly: "Lord, the current production line is becoming more and more smooth, and all 30,000 sailors have been completed." The ironclad ships have been made, there are three frigates, and there are enough wooden gunboats for other engines. ”
This surprised Chen Xiong, it seems that these silver people of the Academy of Engineering are very attentive. The Academy of Engineering controlled Chen Xiong's treasury, including the seizure of the army, so the Academy of Engineering was the largest chaebol in the empire.
"Good! It seems that a new fleet can be formed! Chen Zhong ordered the three commanders to come to the military headquarters, and the navy should also be reorganized. ”
Chen Zhong nodded and stood up and left.
As soon as Chen Zhong left, Chen Xiong also said: "Li Ke is naturally so fast, let's make another 20,000, is it urgent to come in a month?" ”
Li Ke frowned and nodded: "The lord is still in a hurry, but he has to increase the strength of the two of them." ”。
Speaking of silver taels, Chen Xiong couldn't count how many he had, and the southwest two countries alone sent 60 million silver taels. The Goryeo royal family also spent 20 million taels of silver on equipment, especially the empire's sea trade, which allowed the world's silver to flow into the empire in large quantities.
"Good! That's as soon as possible! Let's go back to the military headquarters first. ”
