Chapter 261: Imperial Might (Part II)
Huang Taiji and Fu Wang Zhu Changxun also want to build a warship, Zhu Changhao listened, his heart was very happy, after all, his own military equipment, especially warships, has spanned them for several eras, although the ironclad steamship is only a small scale now, but with the emergence of electrolyzed water equipment, the improvement of the welding process, in the future, it will not be an ironclad ship, but a steel warship that is metal inside and out.
Equipped with the steam power of two boilers and even the steam power of three boilers, Zhu Changhao believes that maybe this steel steam warship cannot defeat a thousand with one enemy, but it can still be defeated with a hundred wooden warships.
Zhu Changhao was relieved about the warship, but what puzzled him was that the current history had been changed by himself, in the original time and space, there was no such thing as Zhu Changxun and Huang Taiji making warships, if you want to make warships, it was also made when Kang Mazi was going to defeat Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping, but now, there is still half a century away from Kang Mazi's time and space, isn't this a change from the original history?
Rui Wangfu, this summary meeting will continue, no, Zhu Changhao entered the righteous hall, after everyone finished the ceremony, Zhu Changhao first said, "In the morning, you all offered advice and advice, and told the king some things about the economy, as well as cultural public opinion, etc., come down, let's talk about military affairs and agriculture, and even industry and commerce, after all, there is no agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth." Let's talk about the military affairs first, and let Mr. Sun talk about his thoughts! ”
When Sun Chengzong heard that the prince wanted to speak by himself, especially in military affairs, what he said must have something to say.
"Lord Wang, this year, the recruitment of our Rui Wangfu has made great progress, especially the formation of more than 20,000 cavalry, which has played a major role in promoting the completion of the troops of the palace. As far as the present situation is concerned, there are already 160,000 sailors, land divisions, cavalry divisions, and artillery divisions in the palace, and if you add the inspection divisions in various places, there are almost 250,000. In other words, the standing strength of the palace now has 160,000 people. It's just that a large part of us have not been tested on the battlefield and have never seen blood, so we are still timid when it comes to fighting. ”
"Well, what Boss Sun said is right, our naval division, land division, artillery division, and cavalry division really rarely fought hard battles this year, and it seems that we should go to the battlefield next year."
"Lord Wang is wise, in recent years, there have been drought locusts in the north of the Ming Dynasty, floods and hail in the south, but to be accurate, the people in the south can still live, although they can survive, but they can at least eat, and the north is a thousand miles of red land. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the displaced people in the north, we must first let the common people in the north have food and clothing," Sun Chengzong said with some anger.
"Yes, this year, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, came to provide disaster relief, I think you must have seen it, if it wasn't for the king who sent Fu Zonglong to lead the troops north, this year's Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Shanxi, Henan and other places would really be in full swing."
"Our Governor Yang's approach is good, but Daming has no food and silver, so how can he help the victims? The victims of the disaster want to eat, the food you said with empty teeth and white teeth, the silver cannot be cashed, and the victims of the disaster will definitely rise up, even if the prince suppresses it with a strong force, they will still rise up to fight in the case of hunger and cold. ”
"The prince is right, now, the one in Jingshi, obviously speaking, is just a Taiping Tianzi, but the Ming Dynasty has been tossed by Wanli Ye almost, later, the Apocalypse does not know how to sympathize with the people, the Ming Dynasty can now be said to be overdrawn, to let the Ming continue to exert force, it is necessary to rebuild the north. In addition, have you seen that with the Qinling Mountains as the dividing line, the north of the Qinling Mountains has been broken, and the south of the Qinling Mountains has been broken, and the prince has created two different worlds with the 3,000-mile Han River as the boundary.
Therefore, if the five provinces of the northern region are handed over to the prince to deal with in the Jingshi, it will be much better.
That is, there are no five provinces in the north, if Gansu, Shaanxi, and Ningxia are handed over to the prince to take care of, and then extend from these three places, thoroughly strengthen the management of the Wusizang Propaganda Division, the Duogan Propaganda Division, and the Tatar Tumut, Turpan, Yeerjiang and other places. Of course, this is only the north, and there are also Ming vassal states in the south, and we can't forget jì, after all, meat can only fill the stomach if you eat it in your mouth.
Therefore, in the south, the Hou Li Dynasty, the Mo Dynasty, Guangnan, Champong, Siam, Donghu, Luzon, Bo Ni, Srivijaya, Java, I Ming strengthened the management of them, after all, they are the subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, but the old man also knows that Luzon and other places have been occupied by Spain and Portugal. Therefore, it is necessary for us, in order to maintain the rights of our Ming Empire's traditional suzerain, to expel these red-haired devils of Europa.
This year, the Beiyang Naval Division, the Fubo Naval Division, and the Henghai Marine Division of our royal palace. These three are all sailors who have sailed on the open sea, completing the protection and cruise of our Ming Sect Master, and if there is one who is not long-eyed, they will be killed directly and sacrificed for the Sea Dragon King", Xu Guangqi, who was born in Jinshi, also said murderously.
Zhu Changhao listened to it, and also understood the reason why Emperor Chongzhen asked Xu Guangqi to train the group to practice the people's courage in the original history.
Regarding Xu Guangqi's words, Zhu Changhao pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly." Next to the Ming Dynasty, there is no state that can be hidden, and it can be powerful. In this way, in May next year, the first batch of steel steam warships in the Ruiwang Mansion will appear, and now the wooden ones will come down and let the Xiangyang shipyard wrap them in iron armor and refit them, and install steam boilers and sails with dual-purpose power. When the time comes, you can toss hard, but I must not lose money in a naval battle. In the war, you must remember that the war is only for the victor, there is no benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the wealth of the enemy's sailors must be brought if we can take it, and if there are prisoners, then they will be captured, after all, they will be responsible for the defeat of the war. ”
Zhu Changhao's words also set the tone for the three major sailors to gather on the ocean next year.
It's just an inland sailor in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, such as Xiangyang. What should I do with the water division, Poyang Lake water division, and Dongting Lake water division?
Deng Rujiao and Chen Qi immediately asked the prince about the way out of the inland sailor.
Zhu Changhao pondered for a while, "The three major sailors, to sweep away the ghosts and ghosts outside my Ming Dynasty, but after they leave, there will be no sailors to guard the sea outside Liaodong, especially the Japanese country in our east, if there is no sailor to guard, then our foreign commerce and trade, as well as the people near the sea, will definitely be burned, killed and looted by the Japanese invaders, so there needs to be a team of sailors who will go east out of the mouth of the Yangtze River and go north to patrol the thousands of miles of sea frontiers of our Ming Dynasty." There is also a team that will take over the work of the Transoceanic Division, transporting grain, as well as transporting the spoils of our three major sailors and Europa sailors.
The last one has to stay, not only to guard the Yangtze River, but also Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, Hanjiang River and other waters, so the pressure is not small. ”
After the problem of the water division is distributed, Sun Chuanting and the others represented by the Lu division are not lonely, if according to this year's plan, the Ruiwang Mansion will build two more Lu divisions, one is Suzaku, and the other is Xuanwu, but because of this, such factors, especially food factors, the two teams have not been built now.
"Lord Wang, the Blue Dragon Army led by the general at the end of this year, as well as General Lu's White Tiger Army, this year, it has only been a small fight, and they have not gone out to fight happily, and the brothers are going to grow hair all over their bodies."
"Well, General Sun seems to be very dissatisfied with Lu Shi's performance this year, but this king knows that this year's Lu Division must not only build two Lu Divisions, Suzaku and Xuanwu, but also go north to open up the Silk Road of our Ming Dynasty. In addition, the strong men who built and dug the Jiahan Canal, that is, the engineering team, will start to build the gallop road from Chengdu Mansion to Duogan Xuanwei Division (Qinghai) and Wusizang Xuanwei Division this year. But this construction army must have a land division to protect, who will protect this, let's talk about it alone. ”
Zhu Changhao said here, seeing that many people in the Lu Division were still a little ignorant, so he said to him, "The opening of the Silk Road, this is a test of the level of my Ming cavalry and Lu Division, as well as artillery, you must not be sloppy." Zhu Changhao said here, and saw that the copywriter of the palace was shorthand the minutes of the meeting. In order to let these copywriters take a break, Zhu Changhao took a sip of tea.
There are so many military movements, although there are still some people who want to say it, but Zhu Changhao obviously stopped.
The tea was swallowed, and he glanced at Qin Ruzhen, who had not been back from Panzhihua for two days, "This year, the big manor planting promoted by our palace has had a bumper harvest, and this king has received statistical reports from the Agricultural Affairs Bureau of the Inspection Department in various places, and the corn and sweet potatoes have been put into storage. Now, let our Lao Qin talk about our harvest this year. ”
Since the prince has been named, Qin Ruzhen, the Minister of Agriculture, will naturally not be hypocritical.
"Lord Wang, our three-thousand-mile Han River system has been filled with a large number of granaries. To be honest, this corn and sweet potato are really high-yield crops. The humble position finally summed it up, there are almost 8.5 million stones, one stone is 120 catties, colleagues, you can count it. In other words, this grain can be enough for 500,000 people to eat for 30 years. And that's not counting the other people who don't grow on large estates. ”
After hearing Qin Ruzhen say this, Zhu Changhao was taken aback, remembering that in history, Xu Guangqi's helpless expression after the failure to vigorously promote the cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes, and now he looks at his achievements and sighs.
"If the imperial court supported Xu Guangqi to promote high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, then whether there was a Qing Dynasty or not is another matter!" Zhu Changhao thought silently in his heart.
The night has arrived, and the next day continues, the third, and the fourth...... On the fifth day, the people finished talking and determined the guidelines for the actions of the royal palace for the coming year, which covered the military, economic, cultural, bureaucratic, educational, industrial, commercial, and even clothing.
At the end of the summary meeting, Zhu Changhao looked at the real numbers and couldn't help but say to the subordinate officials of the palace, "We are mighty!" ”
The subordinate officials of the palace didn't know why the prince said this, so they also stood up in unison, clasped their fists and said, "Great-Ming-might-martial", and said these four words word by word, and everyone immediately felt an indescribable heroic feeling flowing in the dantian.
Yes, Da Ming is mighty!
