Chapter 89: The heroes beg Li Yu
All along, Li Yu has wanted to cultivate everyone's independence. The idea of being the master. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow I see that everyone is finally able to make rational judgments and vote...... But I'm still a little unhappy in my heart, I can't be arbitrary!
"To put it simply, you're really in a hurry...... Funding aside, what is a weapon of mass destruction......" After returning to the office, Lin Ming also complained kindly.
With the current weapons situation of the Chinese Republic, it is no longer a problem to crush any army in this era. On this basis, even if the soldiers are only conducting preliminary training, they can meet the effect of crushing. Not to mention that these soldiers have been tempered thousands of times, and their own quality is far higher than that of ordinary soldiers in this era.
What legendary Taishan soldiers, Danyang soldiers, and state soldiers, Liangzhou soldiers and the like, are not enough to see in front of the soldiers of the Chinese Republic. Regardless of the factor of innate height, Lin Ming believes that the soldiers here are the strongest.
The strongest soldiers, with the strongest equipment, are already very bullying, not to mention the flintlock muskets. The output is a little lower, the key is better than the same period of steel, not considering the danger of the explosion of the steel of the historical quality, even without rifling, the cost can be reduced by about fifty percent.
Gunpowder is also used for fixed granular gunpowder, and it is helpless to clean it up after launch, who makes the accumulation of chemical knowledge a little worse, so that the research and development cost of primer and smokeless gunpowder is too high!
Li Yu has only been in this era for ten years, and ten years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, directly climbing science and technology to the level of the middle and even the end of the Qing Dynasty, without any sacrifice, it is absolutely deceitful. Higher and higher R&D costs, higher and higher manufacturing costs, and more and more so-called researchers who can't afford to absorb knowledge and start to collapse, this is the price.
In this case, what can still persist is basically true love, which is to spend your whole life on research! The knowledge provided by Li Yu has gradually been thoroughly understood, and he can begin to play his true colors, rather than pure learning.
However, if Li Yu has been providing technology, they have been absorbing new knowledge all their lives, and if they can't create something by themselves, they are afraid that it will only be a matter of time before they collapse. The unknown is terrible, when it reaches a new height, only to find that it is just getting started, such a huge pressure, not everyone can withstand it.
Besides, if everyone just absorbs knowledge, and does not need to develop and research independently, then why do scientists do it, a group of workers do it. Yang Lang obviously saw this, so he came forward to admonish.
Lin Ming is also a supporter of Yang Lang, and Momen originally advocated both love and non-attack. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries did not even want to go to war with each other. Sometimes, they would even send some members of the Mojia guild to the weaker countries to help them fight against the powerful.
Now this thinking has changed a little, at least Lin Ming also admits that there are still some differences between ethnic groups. It's good to love internally, and don't talk about anything non-offensive externally. In foreign wars, Momen still compromised with the rulers.
However, in terms of civil war, it is hoped that the ruler, mainly Li Yu, can be controlled. They also recognized Li Yu's theory of nationality, and it was precisely because they recognized or admired it that they were even more reluctant to turn the civil war into a national war during the civil war, and they were even more reluctant to put too many weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield, causing too many casualties.
Swords, guns and sticks are indeed backward, but the problem is that the occurrence of casualties can always be reduced, and if the opponent cannot be defeated, he will flee and surrender. However, if you use guns or even artillery, even if it is a grenade, it is basically an area of effect, and others can't escape or surrender.
It is true that this can minimize the casualties of his own army, but at the cost of more enemy lives, Lin Ming cannot agree with this idea. Not to mention, even if you don't use these things, you can completely crush the other party at this stage.
"Technology will advance, and they can't stay where they are, and if we can't improve, then the other party will soon catch up." Li Yu said with some concern.
"They don't have any foundation at all, for example, even if they give them a drawing, can they restore things back without knowing how to look at the drawings, without knowing physics and chemistry? I can't say when the time comes, it's just like reading a book from heaven, I can't see it clearly!
As for the country's science and technology, there is no saying that it will not be done! Military industry and heavy industry must also be carried out, but it must be completely understood in the previous technology and the cost is reduced to the limit before it can be qualified to further research new things!
At this stage, whether it is cannon steel or machine tools, the cost is too high, and even many machine tools are directly bought by you in other places, and we can't produce them at all. In the short term, we can't see anything, and in the long term, it is not a good thing for China's scientific research, and it will also breed the idea of 'making is better than buying'.
I know your concerns, and if you can buy so many things, then naturally they have a higher level of science. I'm also curious why they didn't attack the big han directly, but were willing to sell you all these things.
I can understand the idea that you are going to chase them, but theory must be combined with practice, and that's what you said. At present, it is too difficult to obtain raw materials, and the cost of raw materials is too high, which further leads to the high cost of subsequent items. On the premise of solving the problem of raw materials, I personally think that it should not be too ambitious! Lin Ming patiently persuaded.
If Yang Lang can only be regarded as a relative, then Lin Ming, as the president of the Military Research Institute, has a much higher voice than Yang Lang, and it is also more official. He said so, and Li Yu couldn't refute anything.
The point is, he is indeed very reasonable, he is indeed a little too anxious!
Originally, there were few Han people in Wu Yue, and there were not many Yue people who were sinicized and continued to be sinicized. Shengfan and those Baiyue people who originally lived here want to sinicize, it will take ten or even twenty years, and there is this time to sinicize them, and the enemy doesn't know how many times he has gone south to attack him.
There is a shortage of social working population, and with the four counties being defeated by them, not counting the families who moved out, the total population remaining in the four counties is only more than 13 million. In later generations, Shaanxi Province had a population of more than 30 million, and a small place like Ningxia Autonomous Region had a population of 6 million, not to mention Guangdong, a province with a population of hundreds of millions, and a city of Shanghai, which had more than 20 million people.
The republic, which almost occupies the three provinces of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian, has a population of only more than 13 million, and the population base is indeed too low. At the present stage alone, the Republic has more than 300,000 troops and armed police, which is equivalent to one worker for every 43 people.
The military-civilian ratio has reached a very dangerous ratio, and if it continues, it will definitely be possible to enter the army directly. Nationalism. Since the army cannot continue to expand, it is necessary to abandon the coastal Fujian region and put it on the border for real defense.
Be careful of the Shu Han army coming from Changsha and Guiyang County, and also be careful of the Jiaozhou army from Nanhai County to the north, not to mention the Xuzhou army on the other side of the Yangtze River. On the side of Lujiang County, you even need to be careful of the army of the Han Republic.
The border line is too long, and there are too few soldiers who can be assigned, so Li Yu plans to make up for this deficiency with more powerful weapons. At the same time, it is also necessary to give full play to the potential of the soldiers.
Sometimes he is really envious of the world in those cool texts, the family will always slap the face of the traverser; The problem of inconvenient roads and inconvenient communication can also be ignored; The emperor is also tolerant and kind, at most he is a little black-bellied scoundrel; Changes in social forms can also be ignored; The country's generals are always invincible, but the enemy generals are always stupid.
In his case, a financial problem is enough for a headache. With the emancipation of the productive forces and the improvement of the social productive forces, social relations will also change. Currency that would not otherwise be in circulation would begin to circulate, and then the problem of insufficient money in the late Eastern Han Dynasty would gradually become apparent, which is why he designed and proposed to mint gold, silver and copper coins in advance.
If it weren't for the acceptance of banknotes and the high cost of anti-counterfeiting at present, he would have planned to go directly to the banknotes!
"Well, in the future, I will only provide the idea and general research direction, and leave the rest to the scientists to explore. Isn't it just a waste? How much money needs to be wasted in the middle of the exploration and experimentation from scratch! Li Yu has actually softened, but he is still a little hard-mouthed in the end.
"The funding is there, and if it doesn't come out this quarter, it will continue next quarter. Anyway, with you and me behind the scenes, no matter what, it won't be wasted! The key is to let them do their own research, and through this process, absorb all the knowledge they need, and even use it all. It's just absorbing but not spitting it out, that's Pixiu! Lin Ming retorted.
"Cut, I'll send someone to tell those scientists later, you scolded them for not **** Li Yu quipped.
"Eh, how can you be like this, everyone is a civilized person, so you can say that kind of uncivilized words at every turn?" Lin Ming replied with a look of injury.
Li Yu is willing to wait, but others may not be willing to wait, this starts with a person who has a bit of a bad relationship with him, his name is Lu Kang!
In 180 AD, Jiangxia rebelled, and Li Yu was ordered to go north to rescue, but he did not follow Liu Hong's arrangement, which naturally ruined Lu Kang's good deeds. After that, he still served as the Taishou of Lujiang, but he paid a greater price for his maintenance.
The two were unhappy with each other anyway, but they were far away, and there was no place for their interests to intersect, so they were fine.
Now it's not going to work, Dong Zhuo's remnants have directly occupied Lujiang, and he, the Lujiang Taishou, naturally can't do it. So not only did he leave, but he also took the Lu clan with him. Lu Ji and Lu Xun were all taken away by him, and only a few old people were left to guard the ancestral tomb.
Originally, the two sides were unhappy, but now they have caused others to lose their officials, and of course they are jealous in their hearts. After that, he came directly to the Republic of Dahan, relying on his previous relationship, and finally became an official again. In private, he spread the danger of Li Yu, which made the families except Li Valve a little worried.
In fact, at this time, many people realized that Li Yu may be unpopular with the family, but he has a high reputation among the people. However, he also continued to help the people to enlighten and train them to become officials, which was basically to grab food in the bowl of their family. To put it mildly, at this point, Li Yu is already a class enemy! Even if it is Li Valve, he can only remain neutral and dare not protect the 'clansmen' who act as such.
As for Li Yi and Li Wen, the two real clansmen, they also chose to remain silent, on the one hand, they had already made up their minds to give up the two of them when necessary; On the one hand, there is also a little expectation, that is, Li Yu can succeed, so Li Valve will become the biggest beneficiary!
Yuan Valve had a holiday with Li Yu, and because of Yang Lang's relationship, Yang Biao, the contemporary head of the family, Yang Biao and Li Yu, did not deal with each other. Coupled with Lu Kang's efforts on the side, the final result was that under the instigation of the ministers, the Chinese Republic, a regime that did not belong to the Han Dynasty, was identified as a rebellion.
