Chapter 29 Peel Back the Roots

*Text}

The navy has to sail on the ocean for a long time, so obedience and discipline are the first place, obedience to orders is the duty of all officers and men, discipline is more important than life, a combat ship has as few as 500 people, as many as 1,000 people, if you can't do it like your arm, let alone fight, the wind and waves can destroy the ship and kill people.

Therefore, when selecting soldiers, as long as they are loyal, honest, tenacious, and tenacious, they don't want to be disobedient, they don't want to be slippery, and they don't want to be brave and ruthless, and Erchen expects that the elimination rate of the Naval Academy is very high, and if you want to get 2,000 qualified, you must recruit at least 3,000 people.

The same is true for the selection of generals, obedience and discipline are put first, followed by knowledge and decisiveness. In terms of employing people, one is to be cautious, use with caution, and use them according to their personalities and specialties. The second is the quantity, the amount is only used, and it is taboo to use large materials and small materials. The third is decentralization, appropriate delegation of authority, which is conducive to the growth of subordinates.

In terms of control, Erchen thinks that the righteous person is the first to correct himself, the first thing is to lead by example, and then to treat them with sincerity, clear rewards and punishments, and both grace and power, and another point, Erchen thinks that it is also very important, and it is the dream of all officers and soldiers to make meritorious contributions, and they must continue to give them this opportunity.

As for the craftsmen and supervisors, they have no idea of making contributions, so most of them are for money, and of course they are lured in the name of profit, and the sons plan to hire shipbuilders and gunsmiths with high salaries through the semicolon announcements of the 'Four Great Hengs' all over the country, regardless of whether they are Chinese or Westerners. Bayi Chinese~

For all the craftsmen who arrive according to their specialties, such as the design of the shape of the battleship, the personnel engaged in this part can be gathered, the specific requirements of the battleship can be proposed, and a number of drawings used are rewarded so that they can compete with each other.

There is competition to have a comparison, this comparison, talent will also be revealed, for talent, not only to reward them, but also to promote them to important positions. In this way, it is not only convenient for them to better display their talents, but also to stimulate others, creating a good situation in which you can compete with each other, and this situation can also maximize their potential.

Of course, in addition to inducement and competition, there must also be a relatively perfect system, a system of rewards and punishments, so that they can be like brave soldiers, have goals, and have enthusiasm. For those who are particularly excellent, Erchen will also give them the opportunity to become famous in the world, so that they can gain fame and fortune. ”

Kangxi listened to it with relish at first, but the more he listened to it, the more surprised he became, this kid said one by one, and his understanding of people's hearts was really thorough. It's a pity that there is less experience, and the knowledge is there, but I don't know if it can be implemented.

Kangxi was really entangled in whether to assign people to Yinzhen, at first he was afraid that he would not be able to do the errand, but now it seems that this kid is not only capable but also a little conceited, assigning the Reading Pavilion, this is the silver that Yinzhen paid alone, I am afraid that he will resist, in case of disagreement, I don't say anything about the missed time, and I have to worry about him picking a child.

If you don't assign manpower, it's a 30 million ocean-going fleet and 20,000 troops, so you really don't feel at ease. Bayi Chinese ~ But Kangxi is not an ordinary person after all, and he soon had an idea.

"The way of employing people is first in Germany. At your age, it is indeed rare to have such knowledge, but it is not enough to have knowledge, you need to sharpen it more, and this errand in Shanghai is not only trivial but also grinding. Kangxi said in a eloquent manner, "I originally wanted to assign you an old and respectful person as a deputy, one is that there are too few people who understand maritime affairs, and the other is that the old and serious people are all official oils, for fear of hindering you, but it is not beautiful." You should take this errand as a sharpening reading pavilion, don't have scruples, let go of your hands and feet, and I will support you in everything. ”

"The son of Emperor Xie Ama is very loving, and he will definitely do the errand beautifully." Yinzhen really didn't expect Kangxi to let go so much.

"Get up and read the Pavilion." Kangxi then Yin Yin admonished: "After going to Jiangnan, do your errands with peace of mind, and less meddle in local government affairs, the imperial court has not built large ships and huge ships for many years, and the difficulty is there. In addition, there are also a lot of talents in the Ministry of Industry, you go to pick and choose, if you have a consensus, even if you take them away, go to Shanghai, write more letters, and have something to play for me. ”

After Yinzhen knelt down and left the palace, Kangxi was not idle, and urgently summoned several clan relatives and royals to meet him.

The back garden of Prince Yong's mansion.

In the hut of the South Courtyard, after Yinzhen told the situation of the early dynasty in detail, he quietly tasted tea.

The old thirteen Yinxiang's eyes couldn't stop patrolling on Wu Sidao's face, he was not capable of building an ocean-going fleet, but when he went to the South China Sea to suppress the Haikou, he was extremely tempted, and he was bored in Beijing all day long, and he was panicked.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Sidao happened to meet Yinxiang's gaze, and couldn't help but chuckle: "What, the Thirteenth Master wants to go to the South China Sea to suppress Kou?" ”

Yin Xiang saw that his mind was broken, and he didn't care about it, so he nodded and said: "I've been in a panic lately, and it's not a bad pastime to go to the South China Sea to play with pirates." ”

"Not right now." Wu Sidao smiled and said, "The emperor will never let you go right now." ”

Yinxiang suddenly heard the voiceover, and asked urgently: "You mean, I have a chance to go to the South China Sea?" ”

Wu Sidao didn't answer, but his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Ocean fleet, Sidao has never seen or heard of it, but the fleet built with 30 million huge funds should be twice as large as the fleet that Zheng He went to the Western Ocean back then.

Again, the ocean-going fleet is estimated to be 30 million, and the 14th master has 12 million in his hands, where will the remaining 20 million come from?

With such a big plan and a huge difference, the emperor neither kept up with the minister of the study, nor did he let the debate in the court, but just announced it, why? ”

After feeling Yinzhen Yinxiang's hot gaze, Wu Sidao said amazingly, "The emperor is carrying out a big plan, a plan that even he himself is not sure of, only in this way can it be explained." Of course, this plan is based on not spending a penny of the state, which is the main reason why the emperor is willing to take great risks to implement this plan without being sure.

The ocean-going fleet built with a huge amount of money of 30 million to fight the seagoing fleet is just an excuse, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, so the question arises, what is the real purpose of building this ocean-going fleet?

Why didn't the emperor ventilate and not let the debate go, it was because he wasn't sure? knew that it would be strongly opposed by some people, but even so, the emperor still had to spend a huge amount of money to take risks, which can only show that this matter has an unparalleled temptation for the emperor!

What is so tempting to the emperor? Rather spend a fortune to try? It's definitely not money, what else is there besides money that has an unparalleled temptation for the emperor?

The ocean-going fleet, as the name suggests, is certainly capable of ocean voyages, and the purpose is definitely overseas. ”

Under the guidance of Wu Sidao's meticulous analysis, Yinzhen and Yinxiang's eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "Overseas territory, vast territory!" ”

"Okay, now for the second question, where do the remaining 20 million come from?" Wu Sidao said leisurely: "Since the emperor agreed, he should be persuaded and believe in the ability of the Fourteenth Master, of course, there is one more thing we should not forget, the emperor has shares worth 20 million in his hands, and he is not afraid."

However, judging from the style of the Fourteenth Master, he must have a perfect plan, whether it is to build an ocean-going fleet or to suppress the seafarers, they are all at sea, if the inference is good, the Fourteenth Master should want to make a difference of 20 million by sea trade, and the sea trade is indeed a huge profit. ”

Yin Zhen chuckled and said: "Liangguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, especially the maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which one is not intertwined and has a deep background, and the old fourteen dare to take them under the knife?" The offended man is gone to the sea. ”
