"General Sun said lightly!" Zhu Kaishan retorted, "It costs money to build a warship, and now the cost of a warship has always been about 100,000 taels of silver, and a fleet needs at least 20 or more warships, as long as it costs 2 million taels of silver, two fleets are 4 million taels."

If you add the soldiers, weapons and ammunition, I am afraid that it will not be able to come down without six million taels of silver, so much silver, but two months' tax revenue from the state treasury.

Besides, Fuso has a population of more than 10 million, even if the navy has three fleets and more than 10,000 soldiers. Could it be that General Sun thought that with this navy of 10,000 people, he could conquer Fusang? ”

"Why not?" Sun Dingzong retorted, "As far as I know, Tianzhu in the southwest has a population of more than 20,000, and isn't it also conquered by the small country of England?"

How does Fuso compare to Tianzhu? How does Da Zhou compare to England?

Could it be that Zhu Shangshu thinks that the national strength of my Great Zhou is not as good as just one England? ”

"The old man didn't say that!" Regardless of whether the national strength of the Great Zhou is strong or not, at this time, Zhu Kaishan will definitely not be able to say that the Great Zhou is not as good as the British.

"That's weird!" Sun Dingzong laughed and said, "Since Fusang is not as good as Tianzhu, and England is not as good as my Great Zhou, then how can my Great Zhou defeat Fusang?" ”

"It's not necessarily!" Zhang Lingyang had a smile on his face, but he thought in his heart, "Although England is only an island country, they have the most powerful navy in the world, and how rich is England's naval combat experience?" If the Great Zhou really fought with the British at sea, then there is no doubt that the Great Zhou will lose in the end.

Also, the country of Fusang is extremely martial, how can it be compared to Tianzhu?

So in general, the Great Zhou crusade against Fusang was more difficult than the British colonization of Tianzhu. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, it doesn't mean that Zhang Lingyang doesn't have a little confidence in the crusade against Fusang.

On the contrary, Zhang Lingyang felt that if Da Zhou really started a war against Fusang, then the result would definitely be Fusang.

Don't forget, Fuso is an island country, and most of the city's cities are located in coastal areas. In other words, as long as the Great Zhou Navy continues to harass Fusang near the coastline, Fusang will definitely never have peace.

Of course, the premise is to completely blockade Fuso and prevent Fuso from secretly going south to contact the Western powers. In the unlikely event that Fuso had bought warships from the Western powers that had colonized Southeast Asia, it would have been difficult to say what would have happened. At least, with warships, Fuso has the ability to deal with the Great Circle.

Overall, though, this is highly unlikely.

After thinking about this, Zhang Lingyang opened his mouth and said: "I already understand what you Aiqing mean. I have decided to officially declare war on Fuso! ”

"Your Majesty......" The ministers were about to advise, but saw Zhang Lingyang waving his hand to interrupt, "I have made up my mind, you Aiqing don't need to persuade again!" ”

"Where is Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household?" Zhang Lingyang's face was solemn and he shouted.

"Weichen Hubu Shangshu Zhu Kaishan is here!" Zhu Kaishan came out of the queue and surrendered to Zhang Lingyang!

"The Ministry of Household Affairs immediately allocated 10 million taels of silver, of which 6 million taels were delivered to the Tianjin Wei Shipyard and the other 4 million taels were delivered to the Firearms Bureau."

After speaking, Zhang Lingyang looked at Chen Weiguo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and said, "Chen Weiguo! ”

"Wechen is here!"

"The Ministry of Labor is fully urging Tianjin Wei Shipyard to build a hundred warships for me within three months!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that six million taels of silver is not enough!" Chen Weiguo is embarrassed.

"I've said enough is enough!" Zhang Lingyang said firmly, "If the silver is not enough to spend, you can ask me for money!" ”

In ordinary times, it does cost about 100,000 taels of silver to build a battleship. But once anything is mass-produced, the cost will definitely drop rapidly, and warships are no exception, so Zhang Lingyang said it so surely.

"Wechen obeys!" Seeing that Zhang Lingyang was so determined, Chen Weiguo had no choice but to receive the order.

"Plus!" Zhang Lingyang glanced at Xiao Fuzi, "You go and inform Feng Xi, so that the Firearms Bureau must prepare enough weapons and ammunition before the warship is built." ”

"Slaves obey!"

"In addition, send a decree to the coastal and Jiangnan health centers, so that they can send 20,000 elites." These words were said to Feng Zuoliang, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

There are still some advantages to the great Zhou, at least there is no worry about the lack of soldiers.

Now that there is a shortage of naval soldiers, Zhang Lingyang can choose from the coastal and watery Jiangnan Guards, just like fighting with the Rus' State in Western Siberia, Zhang Lingyang directly selected the soldiers who participated in the Western Xinjiang War, because the soldiers there have experienced severe cold.

If it was a mountain or jungle battle, Zhang Lingyang could also directly select soldiers from the guards of several southwestern provinces, such as Yunnan, Guichuan, etc.

The Great Zhou has oceans, plains, mountains, jungles, deserts, grasslands and plateaus, and under such conditions, all the arms that have appeared in this era can be quickly formed in the Great Zhou.

In addition to the regular infantry and cavalry, Zhang Lingyang also plans to set up several special arms of mountain soldiers, jungle soldiers, desert soldiers and plateau soldiers.

He already had a rough plan in mind, and Zhang Lingyang waited for the time to be vacated, and then discussed it with several high-ranking generals in the army, and then made corresponding arrangements.

Before you know it, it's completely dark.

After the ministers dispersed, Zhang Lingyang stayed alone in the Heart Nourishing Hall and thought about it, and said to Xiao Fuzi: "Tomorrow Xuan Han Xiao will enter the palace to meet him." ”

"Slaves obey!"

After a busy day, Zhang Lingyang was also a little sleepy, so he hastily rested after a few bites of dinner.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Lingyang woke up, Han Xiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was already waiting outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After freshening up, Zhang Lingyang Xuanhan entered the hall with a smile and ordered: "Yesterday's incident, I think you already know, I will give you three months, within three months, you must collect all the information of Fusang, whether it is the topography, military deployment or the distribution of forces in Fusang!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Not long after Han Xiao left, Xiaofuzi came over, but he was holding a thick drawing in his hand.

"Long live the lord, this is the Luoyang planning map just submitted by Zheng Yongji, the governor of southern Henan, please take a look at it!"

"Open it!" Zhang Lingyang put down the fold in his hand and ordered Xiaofuzi to unfold the drawings on the desk.

"Well, that's good!" Zhang Lingyang browsed carefully, and couldn't stop praising it, "It's a lot better than what I sent last time!" ”

This is already a drawing that Zheng Yongji's subordinates have revised several times, if Zhang Lingyang is not satisfied, then Zheng Yongji can only jump off the building.

Nodding incessantly, Zhang Lingyang said: "Send the decree to Zheng Yongji, and build Luoyang according to this drawing." In addition, except for some special buildings, wooden buildings are not allowed in the newly built Luoyang City.

In addition, Zheng Yongji must do a good job in the ideological work of the people in Luoyang City to ensure the smooth demolition and construction. ”

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Lingyang likes wooden buildings. But the shortcomings of wooden buildings are obvious, that is, they are easy to cause fires, so Zhang Lingyang said so.

In addition, no matter in all eras, demolition is an extremely tedious work, let alone the demolition of a city?

If one is not good, it will cause a big disaster, so Zhang Lingyang said so.
