Chapter 46 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 46 (1)
[Asking for a ticket, asking for a ticket]
'Han and Yue soldiers are especially fine, often in the middle of the army to corner their brave and healthy people, do not put their own with the army, called the back, once into the back, the armies under the control, with the courtesy, reward the abnormal, brave and healthy, where there is a strong enemy, send the back of the army, there is no one who is not broken. ’
"This is what Zhao Yanwei said in his "Yunlu Money", won't he change the number of the army just for this sentence?" As soon as Wen Deji returned, he heard that the name of the army had been changed, and the number of the Japanese was changed, and it was replaced by the Beiwei Army, and the basis was such a quotation from the notes of the Song people.
Xiong Taibai, who has been inspecting the Brunei military camp with Wen Dehei, answered the question of participating in politics, "It's not all, the main thing is that the air force has asked for all the numbers of 'Supporting Japan', and the Beiwei Army sounds more like that, after all, we still have to go back to the mainland, and Grandpa Yue's team listens domineering." You think, the army is back, the navy is fubo, and the air force is holding the sun, this is the right number, since it is a matter of time, it is better to change it early, and you can adapt to it. ”
"I'm afraid it's the idea of those Imperial Han Party who have always wanted to break their wrists with Houjin, right?" Wen Desi sighed, the battle of nouns is not a problem that he should not care about at this level, and he can only go with him if he thinks about it, "Okay, the name is just a code name, as long as you don't toss it, I don't have much opinion." ”
Wen Desi heard that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were indeed conducting experiments for the Air Force, but they only made some hot air balloons, and they didn't even plan to use the power, but they didn't expect their hands to stretch out so long.
"There is indeed a little bit of meaning in the person who proposed, but it is also for a good mouth, and it is still very early to go to Liaodong, but then again, I want to go early, the weather in Nanyang is really difficult."
Xiong Taibai was notoriously afraid of heat, although he had been in charge of the field troops.
When I don't have training tasks, my favorite thing is to sit in the dormitory, blow the air conditioner, and drink cold drinks.
Air conditioning is still a luxury in the area controlled by the Senate, because there is no power plant in Port Sili except Labuan, and even the local radio stations rely on the combination of hand-cranked power generation and batteries, which is the intention of the senators to control their own development progress, as long as the surrounding area is crushed, there is no need to be too careful.
The entire industrial system of the Senate is based on the technology of the steam age, so this air conditioner is also a specially improved process, combined with the gas energy design to change to steam or gasoline drive, but to achieve the 'Carnot cycle' this condenser and evaporator all need copper pipes, this alone is very much to the Ministry of Works, after all, it is competing with shipbuilding and artillery for resources, and the army system has a lot of complaints, although the army is one of the fans of air conditioning such as Xiong Taibai.
What's more, difluorodichloromethane, which is used as a refrigerant, is also a controlled substance, and it must be specially approved by the government office for replacement. With the existing technology of the traverser without consuming the stock, it can only be prepared by methane fluorochlorination, methane is good to say, and now the biogas digester that is popularized in the naturalization villages has output, and the drilling platform also has a lot of companions, which is enough to use, and hydrogen fluoride comes from the chemical reaction of fluorite, although the troublesome output is barely enough. However, the chlorine element of the gas is much more troublesome, which is a by-product of the production of hydrochloric acid, and at present, it can only rely on the ionization equipment on Labuan Island, and the output is not much.
However, Wen Desi can reply like this is also in a good mood, since entering the barracks, he is extremely satisfied with the many arrangements here, not only the soldiers in each dormitory are in good spirits when they go out to exercise, but they also have a heroic spirit when they see the chief standing and saluting, and even the ability to fold tofu blocks and quilts in the dormitory has also been practiced, and the entire camp is only to grow vegetables and raise pigs.
"What are these?"
Taking advantage of the soldiers' lunch break, Wen Desi went to the canteen as usual, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he found several large basins full of rice dumplings, surrounded by ice cubes to cool down.
"It's all left over from the Dragon Boat Festival, and it's kept for the soldiers to eat." Xiong Taibai said.
"Salty or sweet?"
"Salty, egg yolk and pork were added, and all naturalized villages were also distributed."
Wen Desi was quite satisfied when he heard this, the naturalized village is an important node on the highway, and the naturalized people usually live in a fortress, a village is actually a small fortress, and the residents inside are naturally the most loyal subjects of the Senate, and they should be taken care of in order to show the difference between the naturalized people.
"Good food." Wen Desi looked at it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction while lifting the lid of the pot, the pot was the evening meal, and the fire was going to be lit later, he didn't realize that he had walked to the last stove, but he was stunned, "This stove looks special, why is it empty?" ”
"It's a national stove." Xiong Taibai does not hide it.
Wen Desi frowned when he heard this, after all, he had only come from the martyrs' cemetery, and now the military system actually made a special identity drama on the food, which was really a bit surprising, he was half confirmed and half mocked, "Is it a national stove or a religious stove?" ”
Sensing that Mr. Wen's face was not good, Xiong Taibai said with a hippie smile: "In fact, since the opening of this national stove, no one has used it at all, this is just a means to capture and indulge." ”
"Nobody to use it? What's going on? ”
"That's the case, this national stove can be used, but the ingredients and fuel need to be taken care of, and if the camp training is delayed, not only will the allowance be deducted, but corporal punishment will also be inevitable, and the children of the religious state will stop after tossing a few times, so they have to eat with everyone honestly, and they will never care if they don't commit taboos."
When Wen Deji heard him say this, he finally put his mind at ease, and it seemed that this army was also doing the same thing as in the management of various ports, and it was the opposite way to distinguish between identities. According to the analysis of the data in the Feng Pavilion, originally Nanyang believed in the spirit of the earth, and later the wind of sea trade gradually increased, which made all kinds of monotheistic religions have a place and become bigger.
In the view of the maritime merchants, monotheistic religion makes the life of the adrift at sea not bound by the shackles of the belief of the earth spirits, and for some islanders, it is just an expediency to avoid exploitation and slavery, after all, the scriptures also say that it is forbidden for the faithful to take each other into slavery, but after a long time, the means have become habits, and after all, it is still because of the big fist.
But with the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty, this situation is changing.
It is also because of the word difference, the precedent on crime in Brunei is like this today, the same crime, if it is a believer, the crime is increased by one degree, both people are stealing, either the believer is caught or servitude, if it is a believer, the scriptures say that if you want to chop your hand, you will inevitably be stabbed again. At first, some elders felt that it was too cruel, but Wang Liumei and Zhou Taige both worked hard to promote it, and in the end, it made the law and order a lot better.
The only trouble is the Chinese businessmen, this year there are a lot of Fujian businessmen in Sili Port, these people are now sharpening their heads and drilling in factories everywhere, all of them want to get some Australian production technology, I heard Fu Xiaofei say that even Sanya is the same. This kind of thing was only noticed after a wealthy Fujian businessman bribed a naturalized worker from a glass factory, and the worker was arrested to work as a coolie, and the wealthy businessman also paid a high 'tuition' for his actions. However, after the Senate meeting, it still felt that for the core technology that does not involve material science, the process flow alone is optimistic about the diffusion of technology, which is the strategy set at the earliest, but in the whole incident, the veterans were once again impressed by the business sense of the mainland compatriots.
…………
After dinner, when he walked into the conference room on a huge ship in the harbor, he was immediately sneezed by the cold air rushing to his face.
After drifting at sea for more than half a month, I couldn't even enjoy it after returning to Port Slim.
All seven of the seven political participants had already arrived, plus Mei Casey and two reporters from Xinhua Daily, a total of 10 people did not make the spacious conference room seem crowded.
Before Wen Desi came in, Ma Qianzhu was sharing the data he was in charge of to everyone participating in politics, especially the breakthrough in the chemical field has helped a lot for the mass production of some ordnance, and it is most valued by the high-level.
Wen Desi was in a good mood and joked with everyone: "Lao Ma is preaching to you about his 'soybean war' again?" ”
Ma Qianzhuo looked serious, "This is originally a war, if you really want to listen to me, hurry up and take up the Americas and farm, isn't it better than in the South Seas?" It is only a matter of time before all the strategies of the mainland and the South Seas are attacked, the meat is rotten in the pot, it is better to go west out of the Indian Ocean, and when the East has conquered Luzon, it will be able to take San Francisco along the North Pacific Ocean first, and it is always more than enough for us to defend ourselves locally with our strength, and it is not good to expand the territory of the Han people than to fight with the Great Ming Nest. ”
Wen Deji didn't want to take the topic away again, so he hurried back to the topic.
Xu Xuance is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he is in charge of education, diplomacy, and intelligence, and he is the first to speak at every meeting.
"At present, our teachers are limited, mainly because of the shortage of teacher resources, and there are not many elders who can teach. Therefore, there are no new schools for the time being, there are still only five central schools in Brunei, Kuching, Pontianak, Kota Kinabalu, and Mazen, and the rest of the areas are mobile literacy classes, and the schools themselves have only expanded on the original basis, and the pressure on teachers has also increased a lot, especially the local chiefs, gods and their children in the newly conquered areas have all been brought to Brunei, which has also brought a lot of problems to the infrastructure. ”
It has become a common practice to send all the upper-class children of the newly conquered areas to Brunei's schools as protons, and the combination of the chieftains and the gods is a method that the Senate has summed up to disintegrate the localities after learning the lessons of Qin's destruction of the Six Kingdoms. After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he did not resettle all the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and the result of letting it go led to the death of the second generation in the future, which is also one of the reasons.
It would be neither economical nor politically logical to kill all of them, and it would give a lot of truth to the rebellion of the disgruntled people later, so it was in the best interest of the Senate to raise those leading nobles like pigs.
A recent example is the lord of Bo Ni, who is now resigned to his fate and enjoys his happy life. It is believed that it will not be long before the former monarch will fade out of the eyes of the people after a generation because of his extinction, just as the captivity of the Americans in captivity for the Japanese imperial family has been outstanding and has no legacy.
Whether it is a national question or a religious question, in the words of the great man, in the final analysis, it is a class question, or, in layman's terms, it can even be narrowly interpreted as the positional thinking and ideological causes determined by the economic base of generations. After all, in the 22nd century, the so-called 'Five Chaos and China' in Chinese history is not only the time of the Eight Kings Rebellion, but Li Xuezhi's criticism that certain people should 'treat others leniently' when quoting scriptures and classics and that 'Huaiyi people from afar' hope that former slave leaders and religious leaders can read my kindness is still in the ears and deafening, and it has long been an important guiding principle of the Senate's policy, along with the great man's summary of ethnic and religious issues.
Ma Qianzhuo was in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, and he nodded when he heard the section on infrastructure construction, and Wen Desi was afraid that he would take the topic crookedly again, so he quickly skipped this section and signaled Xu Xuance to continue.
"In terms of intelligence, more importantly, the news came back from the Old Port yesterday that Iskandar Muda Johan Berdaulat (note: Iskandar Muda Johan Berdaulat) has been leading the army to attack Kedah since the capture of Pahang last year, according to our comprehensive judgment, it is only a matter of time before the Aceh army occupies Kedah, and I heard that there is still a small group of Aurangkaya (note: the name of the Aceh warriors) has invaded the territory of Johor, and many tin mines near Perak have been attacked."
"What's going on with the Portuguese?"
"The city of Manraka has indeed strengthened its guards, and there are also rumors that Pattani sent an emissary to Manraka."
"Pattani?"
"Yes, they are probably more threatened than the Portuguese, and Raja Ungu, the wife of Pahang Sutan, who was killed last year, is the sister of Queen Raja Biru of Pattani, and Raja Kuning, the daughter of Onggu, has been given to Johor Sutan.
"How long do you think it will take for Aceh to go against the Portuguese?"
"At least one year, at most three or five years."
Wen Deji thought for a while and said, "Then I suggest that Yako's slave catcher team go around the Strait of Malacca more recently, and Johor should be able to gain something." ”
"Wait, shouldn't we weaken Aceh?" Xu Xuance felt that Wen Desi's arrangement was a little unexpected.
"Don't worry, the Portuguese are very shrewd, the city of Manraka is not so easy to be defeated, Aceh always makes people feel that there is not enough stamina, there is no harm in messing up the situation over there at all, and when the time comes, we can just pick up the leaks, we can save a lot of effort." For now, let's do a good job of Luzon's strategy, let's talk about the situation in Manila first. ”
"The patriarch is too conspicuous, Gu Ziming recommended a Macao tooth businessman named He Yi, who is newly developed, and has a strong desire to naturalize my Great Song Dynasty, and most of the information sent back this time is his credit."
"Is it okay to hand over the radio to a native?"
"The radio station is naturally in the hands of its own people, and the veteran in Manila is Xie Ming."
"Oh? What about the Old Port? ”
"There are a lot of Chinese people over there, and there is no shortage of sources, the main person who collects intelligence is a Chinese businessman named Zheng Da, who used to come to Sili Port to trade, and the intelligence department's assessment is that this person is reliable, and the veteran in charge of the local radio station is Wang Feng."
When everyone heard this, they all looked like this, these two were the two elders who competed with them to participate in politics at the beginning, and it seemed that they had invited themselves out after they had no hope of becoming a political officer.
Ping Qiusheng reminded in due course: "Manila's intelligence sources had better be more than a few to be safe. ”
Xu Xuan took it into his chest, "Don't worry, we have three reliable intelligence sources, one is He Yi, he has a letter of introduction provided by the Society of Jesus in Macau, and he can get some news from the upper echelons of Manila, and Mu Xing, the precious son of Mu Haogu, is also there, and his family has always had a good relationship with several local indigenous clans." ”
"You just said three?" Suddenly Casey asked curiously.
"There is also a woman named Li Siya, who is the daughter of Li Dan, a sea merchant."
