Then Zhang San led everyone to the dock to visit the Wanshi battleship Ryukyu and Sea Shark, and then went to the shipyard to see the model of the next generation of warship, with a more slender hull and more sails, which brought faster speed to the new ship.

Even in the face of East China Sea type warships, the new generation of warships of the same tonnage can be one-to-three or even one-to-five, and the shipyard that builds this kind of ship can build more than 30 ships in only four months.

Before there was a breakthrough in steelmaking technology, Zhang San was not ready to build this kind of bronze cannon warship on a large scale. This time I took you to see it to strengthen everyone's confidence and make everyone firm in their determination to rebel against him.

Now it seems that the effect is still very good, after a visit, no one doubts the strength of the Ryukyus, and the official position of the Ryukyus reward is also readily accepted, Zhang San announced that the afternoon recess let everyone digest the information obtained today.

On the second day, Zhang San began to discuss the issue of the official system with everyone, Zhang San served as the king, set up a prime minister, and then the heads of various ministries.

Then there is the military system, which adopts the system of four headquarters, plus the separate management of the navy and the army, which is also borrowed from later generations, this system is conducive to the centralization of power, and the military ranks are divided into five levels of marshal, general, lieutenant general, major general, and brigadier general. The school rank is divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and the lieutenant rank is also the upper, middle and lower levels, the same as the non-commissioned officer, and then there are three levels of soldiers.

A total of twenty-one ranks make the soldiers have enough channels to rise, and now the highest rank in the army is only the rank of major general of Yang Tai and others, and there are still seven levels to be promoted, so there will not be a situation where there is no reward.

In addition to the military rank system, there is also a knighthood system, such as duke, marquis, earl, son, male, and honor, and then there is the blessing of the hereditary diminishing system of titles, so that a complete national system is determined.

These discussions are basically Zhang San is talking, everyone discusses together, sometimes everyone just listens to Zhang San and then nods, and the issue is discussed for another day, until everyone understands before announcing the dismissal.

On the third day, Zhang San finally began to discuss the next strategy, whether to go north or south, and when Zhang San told everyone that the total income of the Ryukyus had exceeded 60 million yuan, more than half of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone was shocked.

When Zhang San told them that just two copper mines could earn 30 million guan a year, while there were more and bigger copper mines in Luzon, and now it was as high as 10 million guan just for the navigation fees of past merchant ships, and as long as they occupied Malacca, this income would be five or six times that of now.

There are also the three plains of Jiaozhi, Champa and True Wax, which produce enough rice to eat half of the Great Song Dynasty, and the iron ore in the north of Champa can be used to make steel and iron directly without beneficiation. Moreover, there are several gold mines in Luzon that can earn at least 20 million yuan a year.

Therefore, the advantage of going south is that there is innumerable wealth, and most of the armies of these countries only have more than 10,000 people, and even the most powerful countries can only equip more than 100,000 troops, and the Ryukyus can be easily annihilated.

It is precisely because of so many benefits that Zhang San is now hesitating whether to go south or north, after Zhang San raised this question, everyone also fell into contemplation, some people advocated going south, anyway, with the current strength of the Ryukyus, going south is almost picking up money.

There are also advocates going north to fight back to their hometown, as the saying goes, if the rich do not return to their hometown, it is like walking at night in brocade clothes, and now that they are a big official, of course, they hope to return to their hometown, and they will also have a good time, only a few military advisers sat there and did not move.

Zhang San let everyone discuss for a morning, there was no constructive opinion on the general's side, Zhang San turned his gaze to the strategist, first Gongsun Sheng, Gongsun Sheng looked at Zhang San and nodded at himself and said: "Since ancient times, the Central Plains has been the center of the world. ”

Zhang San looked at Wen Huanzhang again, Wen Huanzhang thought about it and said: "Those who win the Central Plains win the world." ”

Zhang San looked at Xu Guanzhong again, Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "The king already has an idea, why is he asking us?" ”

Zhang San was stunned for a moment, this is the first time someone has called him king, but what does he have in mind? Ask them what to do if you have an idea? Zhang San opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Xu doesn't have to be too humble, everyone can speak freely." ”

Xu Guanzhong clenched his fists and said: "The king said so many benefits of going south, and he didn't mention the benefits of going north, and there are so many benefits of going south, why didn't the king take it directly but hesitated?" It's just that there should be greater benefits for the north, so that the king is reluctant to give up. ”

After hearing this, Zhang San also instantly figured it out, yes, he was carried away by interests, just thinking about making money, no matter how much money he made, it was in vain that he couldn't convert it into strength, and playing outside was just outside the center.

Xu Guanzhong saw Zhang San nodding and continued: "Since the king said that there is no strong force in the south, then a partial division is sufficient, why do you want to go south?" ”

Zhang San couldn't help but sigh that this top strategist really had an idea, yes, something that could be done by a partial teacher, why did he bother to prepare with great fanfare? It's like Luzon can just send some people to get it done, isn't it?

Zhang San asked again: "Where do you think we should choose to land as the foundation of the struggle for world domination?" ”

The three strategists looked at each other and didn't speak, Zhang San remembered an allusion from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and said with a smile: "Come and prepare pen and ink, and the four of us will write down what we think to see who is superior and who is inferior." ”

After the three of them wrote, they all handed it to Zhang San, Zhang San opened it and saw that the three of them were written Jingdong East Road, only Zhang San himself wrote Shandong, although they all mean the same thing, but I still have to say that Zhang San is not accurate enough to grasp the place name.

Zhang San said with a smile: "Since everyone has the same meaning, then the three of you might as well take turns to talk about their own truths." ”

Gongsun Sheng thought for a while and said: "I watch the sky at night, and the alien star should start in Shandong, which is the will of heaven. ”

Wen Huanzhang looked at Gongsun Sheng, this guy is really a god and a god, and Wen Huanzhang said: "My Ryukyu is based on the island, and the ship is my life, and I have the advantage of naval warfare, and Shandong is surrounded by water on three sides, which is the most conducive to my Ryukyu defense." ”

Xu Guanzhong opened his mouth and said: "There are changes in Shandong, you can reach Beijing in a few days, and you can block Liaojin in the north to take advantage of the void, and the land of Hebei is the foundation of the world." Going south can occupy the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty along the coast such as Jianghuai. ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at everyone and said: "Seventy percent of the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty come from commerce, and half of the taxes of commerce and trade come from coastal maritime trade. ”

Xu Guanzhong's eyes sparkled and said: "In this way, it will not take ten years, and the Song Dynasty will either be destroyed by my Ryukyu or die in civil strife." ”

Zhang San nodded and said: "What I am worried about is not the Great Song Dynasty, the rise of the Jin people, and the Liao State has also relied on cavalry to invade repeatedly, and the war between me and the Song Dynasty consumes the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that in the end it will be taken advantage of by foreign tribes and become the sinners of China." ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "I have traveled to the hometown of Heishui, and today's Jurchen is like the beginning of the Khitan of the year, the whole people are martial, they take battle as fun, Ru Mao drinks blood, barbaric and brutal, on the other hand, the Liao people enjoy themselves for a long time and no longer have the courage of the year." ”2210
