As for the question of whether the Ming Empire would break out after getting the Dexing copper mine, Ma Lin didn't care. Because, the general trend of the Daming civil official group has been achieved. With them as a constraint, it was not ordinarily difficult for the Ming Empire to expand overseas.

And even the belligerent Emperor Zhengde had more of a focus on the Mongolian side to the north. Without destroying the Mongol tribes, it is impossible for the Ming Empire to set its sights on the ocean.

Moreover, Ma Limin would like to give special thanks to Liu Daxia for being a "loyal minister through the ages". It was his existence that made the Ming Dynasty lose a good opportunity to compete with the West for the ocean.

If he was still a Chinese in this life, Ma Lin would naturally hate him, a "loyal minister" who "does bad things with good intentions". But now that Marin is the monarch of the North Sea Kingdom, the ass is different, and the position of the head has changed. Although he was still embarrassed in his heart, Ma Lin still had to thank Lao Liu for his contribution. This kind of psychology is very strange, not only the "anger and indisputability" of China's loss of sea power, but also the relief that the dragon of the Ming Empire is bound by himself...... There's no way, who made Ma Lin a traverser of the Chinese soul......

As long as there is a "loyal minister through the ages" like Liu Daxia, Ma Lin can not worry about the Ming Empire going to the sea to grab his job.

As for the issue of making the Ming Dynasty rich after the explosion of the Dexing copper mine, Ma Lin was not worried at all. Because, the greedy civilian clique, after seeing the huge benefits of the copper mine, will definitely reach out indiscriminately. At that time, even if the copper mine can produce a large amount of copper coins, how much will fall into the treasury is still a question mark......

But it is undeniable that as long as the Ming Dynasty developed the Dexing copper mine, while alleviating the crisis of lack of copper coinage, it must accept Marin's feelings. Moreover, it is a great favor.

You must know that the problem of lack of money has always been the top problem of feudal dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, because of the lack of money, they even began to use iron to cast money. There is no way, the social economy is too developed, and the money will not be enough. Whoever can help solve the problem of money shortage, and which country it is left in, is a first-class hero.

Therefore, after issuing a note informing the location of the Dexing copper mine, Ma Lin began to think - when the time comes, what benefits should he ask for from the Ming court......

"Well, it's too stingy to sell 100,000 catties of saltpeter to me every year, and the quantity must be greatly increased......"

"There is also mercury, which is important for the development of gold and silver mines, and it also needs to be purchased in large quantities every year......

"Buying cheap copper in large quantities is basic, and this must be ......"

……

Marin's recital was sent directly to the Ming cabinet by Kong Tai, not directly to Zhengde. Actually, giving the piece to that and giving it to Zhengde are two different things.

If the Dexing copper mine is handed over to Zhengde, then Zhengde will definitely swallow the copper mine as a royal private property. At that time, there will be no shortage of money in the imperial treasury, and the Ming Emperor's right to speak will be heavier. When the time comes, the cabinet will have to bow to the emperor. Because, they need copper to mint money. Moreover, Zhengde has the Dexing Copper Mine, and it also has the capital to form a strong army. Perhaps, the Ming Empire is strong, just around the corner.

However, this is not what Marin wants to see......

If he was reborn as a literati of the Ming Empire, Ma Lin would definitely dedicate the copper mine to Zhengde as a source of funds for the Ming Empire's strength.

However, the ass decides the head, since Marin was reborn as a European monarch, he naturally does not want to see the Ming Empire militarily too strong. Therefore, don't even think about giving copper to Zhengde.

And directly handing the chapter to the Ming cabinet is completely different......

The cabinet is the highest representative of the Ming civil official group, as long as the chapter falls into the hands of the cabinet, while the cabinet has achieved the achievements of the cabinet, the leading power of the copper mine will definitely be controlled by the cabinet.

If Liu Jin is still there, this copper mine may be robbed by the inner court as Zhengde's money bag. However, the powerful Liu Jin has fallen, and the other members of the "Eight Tigers" can't hold up the wall and can't confront the powerful Daming civil official group. When the time comes, the control of this huge copper mine will definitely fall into the hands of the civilian clique.

Then, as a result, the civilian clique becomes stronger. Under layers of exploitation, there are not too many that end up in the Ming treasury. At the same time, after mastering the money bag, the civil official group has more confidence when competing with Zhengde......

Therefore, handing over the German copper mine to the emperor or the cabinet is completely two consequences. Out of self-interest, Ma Lin finally chose to hand over the Dexing Copper Mine to the Ming Cabinet, a representative of the Ming Dynasty's civilian clique. In this way, it can also be exchanged for the favor of the civilian clique.

Moreover, Emperor Zhengde can't say anything. Because, through the cabinet, the chapter is to do things according to the rules. It is not in accordance with the rules to fold directly to Zhengde.

In addition, if Ma Lin directly folded the Dexing Copper Mine to Emperor Zhengde and dedicated the Dexing Copper Mine to Emperor Zhengde, it would definitely greatly offend the Ming civil official group. The literati have very small hearts, and God knows how they will take revenge on themselves in the future.

What's more, Marin is familiar with history and knows that Emperor Zhengde has no queen, and he died early. Once Zhengde burps, his act of privately dedicating the Dexing Copper Mine to the emperor will definitely attract the crazy revenge of the civil official group.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of self-interest or from the future, it is the best choice to send the Dexing Copper Mine to the Daming Civil Official Group.

In addition to the official recital, Ma Lin also privately wrote a private letter to Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and others, informing them of the importance of the Dexing Copper Mine.

It is true that Yang Tinghe is a gentleman, but he is also a civil official. In the letter, Ma Lin gave him a detailed description of the reserves and significance of the Dexing Copper Mine, telling him that whoever holds the control of the Dexing Copper Mine will control the money bag of the Ming Dynasty. Presumably, with Yang Tinghe's wisdom, he will not know what to do. Moreover, Marin also wrote private letters to other civil officials. As long as these people are not stupid, they will definitely meddle in the Dexing copper mine. As long as the Dexing Copper Mine is controlled by the civilian clique, Marin will be relieved......

As for Zhengde? Well, I'll send a few more Napoleonic cannons over and let this bear kid play with them. If you don't have a son, it's not worth the long-term investment......

……

While Marin was writing those private letters, Schwartz, the vice principal of the "Royal West Point Military Academy of the United States", came over to discuss with Marin whether to add a naval department to the Royal West Point Military Academy......

Today, the Royal Military Academy at West Point is spun off from the University of Aurich and only has an army department. Among them, there are several projects such as the Infantry Section, the Cavalry Section, the Artillery Section, the Engineering Section and the Logistics Section.

But the Kingdom of America was far away, so Schwartz, as executive vice chancellor, felt that naval subjects should be added to the Royal Military Academy at West Point. After all, if you want to dominate the Americas, the navy is indispensable.

However, at present, the training of naval officers in the North Sea Kingdom is placed in the captain's school, and it is trained together with ordinary captains. Schwartz, on the other hand, thinks that's not good. Because, the quality of the members of the captain's school is uneven. Some captains, lacking the courage to fight, were not fit to be naval officers.

Therefore, he came to Marin this time to suggest that Marin add naval subjects to the West Point Military Academy. At the same time, cadets with fighting courage are selected from the captain's school and entered the Royal West Point Military Academy for further training. As for the captain's school, the naval warfare program was appropriately cut. Especially the artillery battle exercises, Schwartz felt that it was a bit wasteful. For those who lack courage, being a merchant captain is enough, and there is no need to receive too much training in naval warfare, especially in live-fire naval warfare. After all, the cost of firing a cannon is very large, and there is no need to waste it on captains who are not naval officers. You know, when a round of artillery is fired, it is tens or hundreds of pounds of gunpowder, and the cost is very high.

Marin listened to Schwartz's report and felt that it made sense. After all, not every captain is brave and belligerent. For those ordinary captains, it is indeed a bit wasteful to conduct live-fire training in naval warfare. It is enough to equip the armed merchant ships with a few gunners who have been eliminated from the naval artillery section. Moreover, to arm merchant ships, it is only necessary to equip them with small-caliber artillery. For example, a 12-pounder Napoleon gun was enough, and there was no need to equip merchant ships with large-caliber guns. Unless, it's a military ship. You know, now the main guns of the Portuguese battleships are also 12-pounder guns. Equipping an ordinary merchant ship with a couple of 12-pounder guns, the firepower was quite enough. As for the naval battle command of those ordinary captain cadets, Marin felt that it was still needed, after all, merchant ships could also encounter pirates. However, there is no need for live-fire drills or anything. When the time comes, just simulate the scene, but don't do live-fire drills. Even if you do it, you can just do it symbolically with two shots. Only the captains of the Navy need to further conduct actual combat exercises,

When he signed, when he saw the word "Royal" on the document "Royal West Point", Marin suddenly moved his heart and said to Schwartz:

"Schwartz, you say, how about I adapt the fleet of the North Sea Kingdom into the 'Royal Navy'?"

At this time, Marin remembered the famous British "Royal Navy" in later generations, which was the maritime hegemon that had dominated the seas for two hundred years. Since the title of "Royal" has been applied, why not be a more thorough copycat, and even the name of "Royal Navy" has been given to a copycat?

You must know that the genuine "Royal Navy" will not be established until after Charles II ascends the throne in 1660. In other words, if Marin is now engaged in a "Royal Navy", he will become a genuine "Royal Navy".

Moreover, Marin will also want to control England in the future. It's a big deal, and the name "Royal Navy" should be shared with England. Anyway, Marin plans to recruit a lot of sailors in England in the future, and the "Royal Navy" does not lack English elements......

In fact, this is also a kind of helplessness. Who made most of the Germans landlubbers? The only ethnic group in Germany, the Frisians, was too small in number, only about 100,000 people. Its fishermen and sailors combined, only tens of thousands, is really not enough for Marin.

Therefore, if you want to form a powerful "Royal Navy" that can dominate the sea like the original, you really have to go to England to recruit sailors. Otherwise, there are not enough people.
