"You and my brother, don't be so formal!"

Just as Luo Zhang led a huge fleet to Colombo and began to bombard the Dutch fortress with eighty pounds of cannons, Emperor Yang was in the imperial palace in Beijing and said to Li Zhuo, who was lying at his feet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His Royal Highness the King of Goryeo was summoned by him.

It took only two days to take the Ming army's patrol ship from Seoul to Tianjin Port, and then took the train for a few hours to Beijing, the traffic was very convenient, and this trip also allowed Li Yan to see the power of modern science and technology, it is said that when His Royal Highness took the steam patrol ship for the first time, he was actually frightened by the whistle and sat directly on the ground, but now he has adapted very well, and there was no accident when he changed trains in Tianjin Port.

Li Zhuo stood up cautiously.

His fear of Yang Feng can be said to be deep in the bone marrow, as soon as he sees this guy, the figure that has his back to the blood-colored remnant sun, riding a huge and hideous monster, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, is like a god stepping on the dead corpses all over the place and slowly walking towards him, and then he can't help but feel a little weak in his legs. This time Yang Feng summoned, he was also quite frightened in his heart, his military performance on the battlefield of Goryeo has caused dissatisfaction among the top leaders of the Ming army, and even the General Staff has proposed to take away his right to rule, and then the news that Goryeo will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty He also knows, this time Yang Feng was suddenly summoned, if it is really for this matter, what can he do?

As soon as he thought of this question, Li Yan couldn't help but tremble a little.

Although the heating in the Qianqing Palace had been installed at this time, and the baking could actually be said to be as warm as spring, he didn't feel it at all.

"Don't be cranky, I didn't mean anything else when I summoned you this time."

Yang Feng looked at him and said with a smile.

"How can there be no immortal in the war, and it is not your fault that you are greedy for life and afraid of death as a soldier, your Li family has been loyal for generations, I still understand, but the problem of the Goryeo King's National Defense Army has indeed reached the point where it must be solved, otherwise this battle will not be able to be fought in the future, and the soldiers are not afraid of how powerful the enemy is, but they are afraid that there is a group of companions around them who may betray them at any time, you have never led a soldier, and you don't know this very well."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng said again.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Yan asked with a sigh of relief.

As long as he didn't take away his ruling power in Goryeo, if he really wanted to do that, he really didn't have the courage to resist.

"First, your army must be expanded.

Expand to at least 100,000 people, this is not only to repel the Tartars, but also to prepare for the future attack to the northeast, then the vast area is definitely not enough for the Seventh Army, and your army will have to participate in the future, as for weapons and ammunition, you don't have to take care of this, you only need to be responsible for food and salary. ”

Yang Feng said.

Li Yu hurriedly nodded.

This is a good thing for him, and he can still supply the food of 100,000 troops through gritted teeth.

"Second, the training and command of this army are all handed over to the Goryeo envoys, and your generals don't know how to fight, let alone how to train a modern army.

Yang Feng continued.

Li Yu hurriedly nodded.

He is not qualified to oppose this kind of thing, saying that the situation of the Goryeo army on the battlefield is about to collapse also frightens him, and it is more reliable for the Ming army to command and train.

"Third, in order to facilitate the war, in the case of the need of the theater, the Goryeo Economic Strategy has the right to punish and appoint and dismiss some local military and political officials, after all, fighting a war is inseparable from local assistance, if the front-line generals do not have a little deterrent effect on local military and political officials, it is difficult to make them do their best, it is estimated that you also know what kind of level your local officials are."

Yang Feng said again.

Li Yan just wanted to hesitate, but when he saw his face, he immediately turned into a nod.

"Fourth, I am going to build a railway with you first to facilitate the transportation of military supplies, especially now that the Datong River has begun to freeze, military supplies can only go through Seoul and Incheon, but the land transportation line to the north for hundreds of miles is too long, and our army's operations rely heavily on logistics, so this railway is indispensable, so you have to be responsible for the labor that repairs the railway."

Yang Feng said.

Li Yu hurriedly nodded.

It's not a big deal at all, even with his mind, he knows that this is definitely a good thing when he travels by train from Tianjin to Beijing.

Of course he didn't know, this was just Yang Feng's order to control his country more conveniently, this railway started from Seoul, built north all the way to the Yalu River, south to Busan, east to Wonsan, and then the Ming army was stationed in Seoul, and in addition, garrisoned troops along the railway to protect the road, as long as necessary, he could quickly reach any major city in the country. It can be said that as long as this railway is completed, Goryeo will be completely in his hands, and one day find an excuse to directly raise Li Zhuo in captivity, and completely turn Goryeo into a Ming province, and then learn from the Japanese people to play slavery education.

However, one province is still too many, and it is better to become two provinces, which are exactly divided by the 38th parallel, with Joseon Province in the north and Goryeo Province in the south.

The expansion of the army is to make more Goryeo young and middle-aged people become cannon fodder on the battlefield, and the Ming army takes over the command, so that the Ming generals on the front line can confidently ask the Goryeo army to be cannon fodder, and the right to punish local military and political officials means that whoever dares to resist will not be cannon fodder, then the Ming army frontline generals have the right to be directly pulled out and killed. All in all, in order to minimize the young and middle-aged population of Goryeo, and then encourage the men of the Ming Dynasty to come to Goryeo to marry foreign houses, just like those young men who came to Goryeo to fight, in the case of the lack of men in Goryeo, they can take care of some Goryeo sisters!

Help them with their work, give them some food and drink, buy a few new clothes, and give them some spiritual comfort if they really need it.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is polygamous.

It's a big deal that those young men have a wife in their hometown, and Goryeo has another wife, and there are many branches, and such behaviors can be appropriately encouraged, for example, Goryeo women who marry Ming men can be exempted from all taxes, etc., or the women who marry Ming men will give birth to children according to the treatment of the Ming people, and give them compulsory education first. In short, it is to let as many Goryeo men as possible go to the battlefield to dedicate themselves to defending the country, and then let more Goryeo women dedicate themselves to the union of the Han and Goryeo ethnic groups in bed.

Of course, it is appropriate to say that the nation is cooperative, and our nation has always been inclusive.

It's just that you have to merge like him.

Of course, Li Zhuo won't know that Yang Feng is holding back so many evil thoughts, and he is not qualified to refuse anything now, as long as Yang Feng doesn't care about abolishing him, then there is nothing that can't be agreed, for him, he doesn't care how many people died in the war!

As long as his Goryeo throne is as secure as Mount Tai.

His sensibility made Yang Feng very satisfied.

Immediately after that, His Majesty the Emperor took the King of Goryeo on board his new toy.

A large, strangely shaped fellow, with a black chimney lying in front of it, and behind it was a richly decorated square carriage, painted with gold and glass windows, like the modern horse-drawn carriage that was now in vogue, with expensive rubber inflatable wheels installed underneath, and an open cab in front of the carriage, in which a man dressed in brocade was standing, filling the roaring hearth with charcoal filled with gasoline.

Well, this is a steam car.

Boilers and steam engines were used as in trains.

In fact, before the invention of the internal combustion engine, steam-powered cars had begun to appear in large numbers, even including steam-powered trucks, but at the beginning, because of technical problems, boilers love to explode, so they have never been dry carriages, and other technical problems have been solved, and this kind of thing can be popularized, and the emergence of the internal combustion engine has completely knocked it into the garbage heap. But in fact, it was not until 1915 that the last factory to make such cars ceased production, and it was not until the twenties that the use gradually withdrew from the stage of history, but even during the Anti-Japanese War, due to the lack of fuel, steam buses were still running on China's roads, and they were still charcoal-burning.

But for Yang Feng, this is a good thing, although relying on this thing to transport military supplies, it is inevitably a little too unreliable, this failure rate is relatively high, especially running those bad roads is even more sad, but he can use this to develop his own short-distance public transportation problems, especially inter-county ones.

This thing is slow though.

But no matter how slow it is, it's better than a carriage!

In the short term, the railways in the Ming Dynasty will certainly not reach the point where the United States at the beginning of the 20th century covered the whole country like a spider web, this will take time, and the steel output alone will not be able to support, until this year it is just 500,000 tons, and it is still the Ming standard ton. Even if Yang Feng's ability is to be able to build a few trunk lines in ten years, it would be good, but the problem of inter-county public transportation must also be solved, although the horse-drawn mail car has become almost popular, but the speed of this thing is still too slow after all, and the average speed of normal long-distance running is maintained at an average speed of five kilometers per hour.

This is definitely not going to happen.

Steam buses are slow, but that's only relative to the internal combustion engine, but much faster than horse-drawn cars, and the speed of this thing is actually ......

In 1906, the fastest speed of the Stanley steam rocket exceeded 200 kilometers per hour.

Of course, Yang Feng can maintain this for twenty kilometers, but this is enough, when he and Li Zhuo boarded his newly developed little monster in a bow, the whistle in front of him immediately sounded, and then the steam in the boiler that burned enough pushed the piston of the steam engine, driven by the transmission system, on the royal street that had also been paved with asphalt, and soon drove out of Tiananmen Square, and then turned east to his financial and commercial street, and immediately jumped in shock.
