"Yes, the sea situation is complicated, the battle at sea is completely different from the land, if there are bandits and sea ships who do not obey the order, they cannot be completely suppressed by the bow and crossbow alone, and more people will inevitably follow suit after a long time, in order to prevent this situation from happening, the minister has created a Taiyi God artillery according to the book of heaven, an attack can throw more than ten catties of iron projectiles out of a distance of three miles, and the projectiles within three hundred zhang can penetrate the deck of the sea ship with a thickness of more than one foot, as long as the sea ship is equipped with this weapon, it can deter the unscrupulous people in the world!" Chen Xu arched his hand and said.

"Zuo Xiang, this Taiyi God artillery can be used to fight on sea ships, and it must also be used to fight on land, yes or no?" A military general excitedly stood up and hugged his fists and asked.

"That's true, this Taiyi God artillery can be placed on the ship, can also be placed on the city wall, can also be used for the confrontation between the two armies, but the effect of being used in plain combat is far less obvious than the sea, a projectile of more than ten catties on land causes very limited damage, even against the city wall, the effect is not obvious, and naval warfare is different, once hit by a projectile, the hull will instantly penetrate a big hole, the hull will inevitably sink into the water if it is seriously damaged, this long-distance powerful destruction will make the enemy frightened, it is a weapon of naval warfare, However, there are pros and cons to everything, because this kind of artillery needs to be filled with gunpowder, so the operation needs to be strictly trained, and the minister will also send someone to the sea ship to guide the operation, so as not to cause the ship to be destroyed and killed! Chen Xu nodded and said.

"Zuo Xiang is reasonable, since there are merchant ships going to sea, there will inevitably be bandits and robbers, and the North Korean Yingzhou between them all rely on large sea ships, the situation along the way is complicated, and it is indeed necessary to have a very good weapon to deter unscrupulous people, with this Taiyi God artillery, the world can only retreat and dare not make a wrong move, the minister agrees with Zuo Xiang's suggestion, as soon as possible to prepare a sea division college, build sea ships, build Taiyi God artillery equipped with a deterrent ocean sailor!" The commander of the military department stood up and said excitedly.

"Quasi~" Qin Shi Huang nodded without any hesitation.

No one in the Manchu Dynasty had anything to oppose it.

Chen Xu just sent a few ships to Yingzhou to investigate, and in two or three years, he got back tens of millions of dollars worth of silver and tens of thousands of catties of sulfur.

Silver is an extremely scarce thing in the Central Plains, and it is an extremely valuable item like gold, gems and pearls, which is basically collected by princes and wealthy people, and is generally not used for trading.

And sulfur is also a very important material, it used to be a scarce material used by medical practitioners to refine pills, the Central Plains production is scarce, and Chen Xu arranged businessmen to buy a large amount of sulfur all year round in order to make gunpowder, but it is still not enough, sulfur has become a huge shortcoming in the manufacture of gunpowder.

It is precisely because of the scarcity of sulfur that Chen Xu has not been able to promote the development of firearms on a large scale, of course, Chen Xu has other worries, but the production of gunpowder does greatly limit the promotion of firearms, because once it is promoted on a large scale, such as a musket unit equipped with 10,000 people, the consumption of a war is estimated to consume all the gunpowder he has accumulated over the years.

Now that Chen Xu learned that Yu Wuya was about to transport back tens of thousands of catties of sulfur, he decided to start preparing for naval training artillery in advance, not only to maintain the safety of shipping in Yingzhou, North Korea, but also to prepare in advance for the conquest of the world through great voyages in the near future.

The truth is within the firing range of the cannon.

The cannon bombarded his mother, and Weijia returned to his hometown.

When the mighty fleet of the Great Qin Navy Division was crushed and the cannons rang out, Chen Xu believed that whether it was the mighty rest, lonely Egypt, the ravaged and skinless Greece, or the limelight Rome and the bitter Carthage, as well as their most dazzling military commander Hannibal, they all had to kneel down and call their father.

Today's trend of the court has changed relatively quickly, from the selection of the sons of the hundred schools of thought to the incident of the emperor's group of eagles, and then it was quickly transferred to the construction of the customs and the sea division by Chen Xu in a few words.

Generally speaking, Chen Xu successfully transferred the political struggle to national defense and economic construction with the 5 million money donated by the businessman and the 20,000 catties of silver that Yu Wuya was about to transport back, and he grasped the absolute initiative in an instant.

Zhao Yuan, who basically never spoke in the previous dynasty on weekdays, suddenly made a mistake today, pointing out that he did not take care of the identity and emotions of Qin Shihuang by erecting a statue for the sons of a hundred schools, but Chen Xu had already guessed that someone would take it out to discuss and stir up trouble, so from the beginning of planning the library, he decided to complete a statue of the emperor, but it has always been in a state of secret planning, and it was taken out today, and it just happened to block the mouths of many people.

And the production method of sacrificing artillery is also Chen Xu's plan after careful consideration, the battle on the sea is not enough to rely on the ship, but also to have enough firepower to suppress it.

Nowadays, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi have all been included in the territory of Daqin, and it is difficult to travel and control these places by land, but as long as the seaports are established and the ships are seafaring, these remote counties can be easily developed.

In order to ensure the safety of the Daqin coastline, the establishment of a naval division and equipped with artillery is the best and most direct method.

At the end of the day, the morning is scattered.

Before Chen Xu walked out of the court, he was chased by the palace people and brought into the palace.

After the first emperor went down to the court, he did not change his court clothes, and warmly entertained Chen Xu to drink tea in the imperial garden.

"The last time the young master said that Yingzhou and North Korea are wild places, but he asked officials to go to North Korea and Yingzhou to set up offices for management, in this case, why not seal a prince to guard North Korea and Yingzhou, wouldn't it be troublesome?" After a cup of purple milk fairy tea newly picked this year, the first emperor put down the teacup and asked the doubts in his heart.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, it was inconvenient to travel between Korea and Yingzhou, a remote and wild place, and it was not worth the trouble to hang overseas.

"Your Majesty, Yingzhou and Korea look wild and remote at the moment, but the location of these two places is very special, it is certainly easy to seal a prince to manage, but after a long time, the minister thought that he would lose control with the princes of the Great Zhou, so it is very difficult to include Yingzhou and Korea in the territory of Great Qin, and it is impossible to do it without a strong naval division, even if it is reconquered, if it is repeated in the future, the princes will not obey the orders of the court, which will only make the court anxious and tired of management, After a long time, it may even threaten the rule of my Central Plains Dynasty......"

Qin Shi Huang is not a political novice, so he naturally understands what Chen Xu means, although he is sure that this kind of thing will not happen in a short time, but after pondering for a while, he still nodded and said: "Aiqing is right, it is my negligence, North Korea and Yingzhou rely on sea ships to travel back and forth, and it is indeed easy to lose control, so according to the young master's play, set up counties and arrange officials to govern!" ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, these two places are not now to set up a complete county officials, if you feel troublesome, you can first set up a governor in Korea to manage the affairs of Korea and Yingzhou, the governor is directly responsible to the imperial court, and the county chief officials are assessed and appointed and dismissed, all the appointment and dismissal of officials and government affairs in the two places are decided by the governor himself, only need to regularly hand over the taxes collected by the customs to the imperial court and implement the decree of the Great Qin, the only difference between the governor and the princes is that they cannot recruit their own independent army, Only a certain number of police officers can be recruited to be responsible for law and order, and they must also be regularly inspected and questioned by the imperial court, and if there is a rebellion or war, they will be reported to the imperial court for disposal......"

Chen Xu began to sell the emperor the colonial strategy of later British rule.

At present, the Japanese islands have no military value at all for Daqin, except for resources such as silver and sulfur, and have no population value, and can only be used as a plunderable resource production area, while North Korea is even more chicken, nothing else, except as a transit station connecting Yingzhou, it has no value at all.

Therefore, it is not only very difficult and a waste of national strength to completely implement the county management system like the Central Plains, but also unnecessary, because there are thousands of large and small islands in Japan and Korea, most of which are still desert islands, and there are no natives, and the officials who are arranged to go to the court have to take care of them to eat, drink and Lazar, it is far better to throw it to the governor to implement semi-autonomous jurisdiction, and the difference between the governor and the princes is that the princes are independent kings, and the change of dynasty only needs to be recognized and canonized by the central court, and the governor is still the minister of the court. Subject to the imperial court's evaluation, appointments and dismissals, and the fact that the governor had no military power, it was not easy to rebel and become independent, which greatly reduced the chances of rebellion in the colonies.

Although the British colonies gradually became independent in later generations, this was due to the changes of the times, and the British influence on these colonies has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and blood, and can no longer escape the influence of British culture.

Nothing in the world is static, and Chen Xu believes that all the policies he is implementing at the moment are only temporary, and cannot be eternal.

Just like he changed Great Qin, but Great Qin cannot be passed down through the ages like Qin Shi Huang's idea, because this does not conform to the development laws of human society and nature.

But in view of Daqin's current situation, Chen Xu can only use the simplest and most conservative method, the more convenient the better.

"Well, the position of the young master as the governor is indeed very good, compared to the county guard and power, compared to the princes, the court can be easily controlled, this matter will be acted according to the young master's strategy, and I will order it to be handled at noon!" Qin Shi Huang obeyed Chen Xu's words and quickly decided.

"Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come here, not just for the affairs of Korea and Yingzhou, right?" Chen Xu said with a smile.

In fact, the court is not in a hurry about the affairs of North Korea and Yingzhou, after all, the customs department has not written a word, and there is no shadow of the coastal port wharf, and officials need to be sent to prepare for the construction, even if it is the 20,000 catties of silver that Chen Xu said, he still doesn't know where it is, and he will only know the truth until it is transported to Xianyang, so Chen Xu is sure that the emperor hurriedly called him not to discuss this matter.
