Chapter 932: Thoughts on Moving the Capital

The whole plan requires the mobilization of nearly 5 million people, including 2 million soldiers and horses, 2 million people, 1 million captive soldiers to transport materials, and nearly 100,000 officials and managers to ensure the timely arrival of materials and personnel on all fronts, and at the same time to build roads to the front line.

The roads in the Ming Dynasty should have been very developed, but they were all dirt roads, roads, muddy paths, and even uninhabited places were simply overgrown with weeds and rocky and rugged mountain roads.

The road system of the Huaxia Kingdom is developed, and the most inferior county roads are also cinder paths, flat roads that are rolled by stone rollers, and there are people who maintain them. The main road is a cement road, a wide 35-meter road, and a post road with a width of 3 meters and 5 meters next to it, separated from the middle of the avenue by a ditch and a drainage ditch, and there is a passage where it needs to be crossed.

With the expansion of the core area, expanding to the area of the original Ming Dynasty's smallest territory, those states that did not build such roads began a new round of construction, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, Sishan, Southeast Asian states, as well as Baodao and Palawan, Hebei, Shandong.

Such a huge project, funded by the state, supervised by the local government, and merchants from all over the country jointly formed a joint construction company, and the spring of road construction merchants in the Huaxia Kingdom came.

At the same time, 15 inspection teams were set up, and the third-in-command was assigned from various departments to take charge of the inspection team, the third-in-command was responsible to the second-in-command, the second-in-command was responsible to the Ministry of Supervision, and the Ministry of Supervision was responsible to the cabinet.

In terms of military affairs, the Ministry of National Defense Shangshu Wei Wuji was in charge, Xiao Fei assisted, and Feng Wuyu was in chief to expand the territory.

In terms of intelligence, Milin served as the commander-in-chief, and Wang Dong, Jin Qi, and Huang Tao were responsible for ensuring military operations.

On the naval division, Nguyen Jin was responsible for coordinating the cooperation of the fleet.

After the completion of the general refitting of the naval division, there are currently four fleets, all of which have been reequipped with new warships and frigates.

After that, the naval division was equipped with two kinds of ships, a new type of warship, 780 tons, a frigate, a flying clipper type, which was fast, and could also fight, and the firepower was not weak, with a range of 180 kilometers near the sea of 180 tons, 350 tons, and a range of 8,000 nautical miles in the ocean, and could sail 8,000 nautical miles without supplies, and immediately put into battle, and the speed reached 13.5 knots during the battle, and the speed was close to fifteen knots without full speed in combat.

In addition to the first type at the beginning, the new warship has a cruising speed of eight knots, a fast sailing speed of ten knots, and a combat speed of 12.5 knots when needed.

The new warships are equipped with 76 new rear-loading cannons, use flowering shells and armor-piercing shells to delay the collision fuse, no longer use solid shells, and completely eliminate solid shells.

The new warships and frigates are equipped with a rudimentary telescope-type digital line sighting system, which can improve the accuracy of shooting by 11.5 percent, why is it so low?

Because even in the 19th century, the 20th century, the era of giant ships and cannons, the highest accuracy rate of hitting the enemy with shells against bombarded warships was also terrifyingly low, with an average of only more than 30 points, which could be increased to 11.5 percent, which was very advanced and sharp, and it was possible that even if such a rudimentary system was equipped, it was possible to fire a hundred shells, and one shot could not hit at all.

Because both sides of the sea are in the bumpy waves, in the process of evading navigation at high speed, the artillery is affected by a series of complex factors such as the ups and downs of the ship, the calculation of the crew, the quality of the crew, the psychological effect, the speed of the opponent's movement, the accuracy of the artillery, and so on.

Even the missiles of later generations may not be able to hit the enemy's ships with precision guidance.

In the course of a series of replacements, the number of new warships of the Huaxia Army reached 150, except for the Second Fleet, which was basically in a state of soy sauce, patrolling the coast and defending the seas of Ningbo, Fujian, Zhejiang, and other prefectures, and only had 20 warships and 15 frigates.

The other fleets, the First Fleet had thirty-six warships and thirty-six frigates, and the enemy they had to face had almost no ships and no warships, and they had to defend against the Ryukyu Kingdom, which used all the old warships that had been decommissioned by the Huaxia Army.

The Third Fleet was a behemoth, with fifty-six warships and more than seventy frigates, and they had moved their garrison to Saigon, and needed to patrol and defend the Gulf of Siam, Palawan, facing two enemies in Luzon, and dealing with the future threats from the Kingdom of Australia, the Kingdom of Xinlu, and the Dutch, and the British.

Behind them, the Fourth Fleet stationed on Qiong Island is a little better, they mainly defend the area of Trench Gate, Annam Bay, and Treasure Island, and the Second Fleet, mainly for coastal defense, but they still have two tasks, one is to support the Third Fleet, and the other is to become an ocean-going fleet going out to the ocean.

Therefore, they are mainly equipped with 36 new warships of 850 tons with slightly larger hulls and longer and narrower hulls, and 380 tons of frigates, which are slightly larger than those of other fleets, and have a range of 12,000 nautical miles, which is slightly slower, and the speed is 0.5 knots to 1 section slower than that of other new warships.

But considering that their main purpose is ocean navigation and ocean support, it is normal to be slower, and the tonnage is larger.

In this way, the Huaxia Army has a total of 148 warships and 200 frigates, of which the fleet mainly has 180 frigates, and the naval divisions and garrisons in various localities have a total of more than 40 frigates, which are used to patrol the coast, to detect smuggling, to catch thieves, and to collect taxes.

In total, they have more than 300 warships and frigates, compared with the previous peak period, they have all kinds of armed merchant ships, warships, and warships reached more than 6,000, after many years of sale, scrapped, it took nearly 30 years to be eliminated.

In total, about one billion Chinese yuan was obtained, but the overall economic profit was a huge loss, and the cost of the new warship alone was more than this amount, reaching 2.1 billion Chinese yuan, and it took three years to manufacture, put into service, and fought two major naval battles, which proved the excellent performance of this kind of warship.

In short, the Huaxia Army is strong in military terms, unparalleled, this strength makes Zhang Qiang, a traverser, not know what to do now, he has brought this kingdom on a different path from history.

Even without him, if it is developed according to the theory of winning with weapons, if it continues to develop according to this model, then the Kingdom of China will dominate Asia and have no opponents.

Isn't it time for him to quit?

It's a pity that the damn system didn't respond, and I don't know when to pick him up.

In another month, he will move the capital to Yanjing, as a later generation, as a former Ming man, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the courtiers guard the society, he still thinks about the capital Yanjing.

After all, the southerners are too oily, oily, and flexible, and can deceive people.

Northerners are poor, but simple and kind, although some northerners are small slippery, but overall good, and Yanjing is always the capital of later generations, geographically better than Jinling, the dynasty in Jinling Dingdu is short-lived, although he is not superstitious, but the dynasty of Dingdu Jinling is statistically only fifty years, he has been here for more than 20 years, Dingdu Yanjing, change feng shui is also good.
