Volume II, Chapter 1 Planning
How did the Ming Dynasty come to an end? Some say that it was destroyed in the hands of Wanli and Tianqi, some say that it was destroyed in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, some say that it was destroyed in the hands of Chongzhen, and even say that it was destroyed in the hands of the Donglin Party. Zhu Cijiong who was destroyed in whose hands is really not known now, it seems that Wanli and Tianqi have been hung up, Wei Zhongxian has also been cleaned up by him, Chongzhen has no Chongzhen anymore, he has given Chongzheng, and there seems to be no sign of the death of the Ming Dynasty until now!
Now the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's demise seems to be the Donglin Party, how can this Donglin Party lead to the decline of the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Cijiong is really a little incomprehensible, Sun Chengzong is the boss of the Donglin Party, Han Kuang is the veteran of the Donglin Party, and even Bi Maokang and Qiao Yunsheng are both members of the Donglin Party. If the Donglin Party members are like this, then it is impossible not to say that the country will be destroyed, and it will be impossible not to prosper.
Are the Donglin Party members really pure? This question Zhu Cijiong can understand immediately.
............
The eunuch party was extinguished, the whole world celebrated, the Ming Dynasty and the opposition spent the Spring Festival in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and then entered the first year of Chongzheng (1628 AD), and the history of Zhu Cijiong, the emperor of Chongzheng, officially opened the first page.
Cao Chong can be called an elephant at the age of six, and Ganluo is twelve years old. Kong Rong was virtuous at the age of four, and Zhou Yu was transferred at the age of seven. There are many prodigies in Chinese history who have adult thinking in their childhood, Zhu Cijiong is now six years old, he decided not to pretend to be tender, time is not waiting, and if he continues to pretend, maybe one day the Ming Dynasty will be over, and the prodigy will be a prodigy, which is better than the king of the dead country.
Just after the New Year, he left Qin Mingyue's warm embrace and embarked on the road of revitalizing the Ming Dynasty.
The first thing he did was to build a military factory, which, of course, was not an ancient military factory for the production of swords, but a quasi-modern military factory for the production of guns, or a modern military factory.
It's okay to do a little experiment in the palace and get a model of a drilling machine, but it is impossible to produce a complete set of weapons, so the first step in establishing a military industrial system is to build a quasi-modern military factory.
To build a factory, of course, the first thing is to choose a location, Zhu Cijiong has already chosen the address, that is, Wang Gong factory.
The first chapter of the previous volume mentions the explosion of the Apocalypse: on the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, a bizarre explosion occurred in the area near the gunpowder depot of Wang Gongchang in the southwest corner of Beijing of the Ming Dynasty.
Why is the big bang so bizarre? Let's not talk about the "dead and wounded are naked", and don't say that "the 5,000-pound stone lion flew a few miles away". The most bizarre thing is that the east of Jingshi City stretches from Shunchengmen Street to Xingbu Street in the north, and the surrounding area is full of powder, but Wang Gongchang, the center of the explosion, "does not burn an inch of wood, and there is no trace of burning." In other words, there was nothing wrong with the Wang Gong factory at the center of the explosion, and there was not even a trace of smoke and fire.
Wang Gong Factory was originally a place where the Ministry of Industry produced gunpowder, and by building a military factory here, the money for the production and transportation of gunpowder was saved. Besides, all the surrounding areas have been reduced to powder within three or four miles, and because the residents of the capital are afraid that there will be another big explosion there, the area around Wang Gong's factory has been empty, and even the demolition has been exempted.
It is almost impossible to find a vacant land of several square kilometers in the prosperous capital, and there are many inconveniences for the arsenal to be built outside the city, so Zhu Cijiong decided to be Wang Gong's factory.
Zhu Cijiong, the person in charge of this military factory, has also been found, that is, Song Yingxing, the Qing official of the Ministry of Industry.
As mentioned earlier, this Song Yingxing is just a lifter, and it is already the limit for a person to be a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, and if it is mentioned further, it is estimated that the entire government and the opposition will not agree. There are still many Jinshi who are only six or seven grades, and if you want to mention a person to four grades, then you really don't even mention this topic, and you will drown in saliva if you bring it up.
This position is no longer mentioned, which means that Song Yingxing's position has been fixed, and this life is like this. With such a stable person, it is estimated that there is only this one, who happens to be in charge of the construction of the military factory, and he can be responsible for it from beginning to end, and he is really not at ease if he wants to hand it over to someone else Zhu Cijiong.
So Zhu Cijiong issued a holy decree to order Song Yingxing to move the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to Wang Gong Factory, and at the same time allocated 10,000 taels of silver, so that Song Yingxing would transfer all the craftsmen in the capital to Wang Gong Factory, and first build a three-meter-high wall to enclose a radius of three or four miles. Then, he gathered Xu Guangqi and other cronies together and began to plan the layout of the factory.
Zhu Cijiong was a process engineer in a large military factory in his previous life, and he naturally knew what workshops a military factory should have. The problem is that in the previous life, the level of science and technology, the mode of production and the Ming Dynasty are not the same thing at all, if you really copy the layout of the military factory in the previous life, then he will have his head in water.
So how should this layout be planned? In fact, it is not complicated, first of all, the road in the factory area, the length and width of the new military factory are three or four miles, Zhu Cijiong simply painted it into a nine-square grid style, two horizontal, two vertical and four avenues directly divided the new factory into nine pieces, and the central one is Wang Gong's factory.
The accommodation and diet of the craftsman can not be less, there is no bus in the Ming Dynasty, if the craftsman is allowed to stay at home, the time of the day is basically consumed on the way to and from work, and this living area must occupy a piece.
We should also pay attention to the issue of safety and security, and simply let Qin Gongming bring a thousand elite soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to escort them, and this army garrison area occupies another piece.
There should also be a special place for the experiment, and the production is all guns, so you can't interview in the factory, and this experimental area occupies another piece.
Of course, a small blast furnace does not occupy much land, but after the scale increases, a small blast furnace is certainly not enough, and this material area occupies another piece.
The weapons produced could not be delivered to the army immediately, there had to be a place to keep them, and this treasury took up another piece.
Processing metal products did not say that they went to bed at the beginning, they always had to have a general shape before they could be processed, and they directly used molten iron and molten steel to make things that were the work of the gods.
In the Ming Dynasty, the manufacture of guns and cannons was mainly based on manual forging, and many irregularly shaped parts could not be processed on the machine tool, so this manual forging accounted for another piece.
In the end, there is only one piece left, no need to think about it, there is no place for the machine tool, this last piece is naturally a quasi-modern machine tool processing workshop.
After all, Zhu Cijiong is not the reincarnation of a real god, it is impossible to understand everything, to say that he really understands is a small blast furnace steelmaking and a quasi-modern machine tool processing workshop, and he doesn't know much about other sand casting, manual forging, and gunpowder production, and he doesn't know much about Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, and he doesn't know anything about other accommodation, food, and garrisons.
Therefore, this military factory cannot be planned by him alone, and a group of cronies must also participate. A military factory covering an area of several square kilometers cannot be planned in a day or two, and everyone is not in a hurry, after all, the wall that is more than ten miles long cannot be built in a day or two.
Everyone expressed their opinions on the sketches, and the planning plan tended to be perfect step by step, and the formal architectural drawings were gradually released.
With the gradual improvement of the plan, Zhu Cijiong's heart is becoming more and more excited, the Ming Dynasty's military industrial system is about to take the most critical step, this step out, Ming Zhongxing is expected.
Is this really that easy to take?
