The first policy measure after the Donglin Party came to power was to raise taxes on Liaodong, and to be honest, this operation surprised Qin Rongshuai.

He thought about it for several days, but he didn't understand what the Donglin Party's operation was.

It's good that you raise taxes, then I simply don't pay them, I was exempted from taxes for three years, but it's already expired, and I just have an excuse not to pay.

Then the second policy of the Donglin Party was to organize and train a new army and strengthen the defense force of Shanhaiguan.

But this requires money, and tens of millions of taels of silver were spent when Liaodong was fighting and building.

Now that there is an accident in Liaodong again, this money cannot be solved by two or three million taels.

Especially Qin Rongshuai is different from Jianyu, he is an all-firearms army, and the threat is much greater than Jianlu.

When the cold weapons unit goes up, it is to deliver food, which is not enough to see at all.

However, firearms can only be used to deal with firearms, so it is necessary to manufacture and purchase more firearms and equipment and train new troops, which will cost more than cold weapons troops.

During the Ming Dynasty, Fujian iron, which was mostly used, that is, wrought iron produced in Fujian, was refined into three catties per ten catties. The material price is nine cents silver; With five craftsmen, two coins and five cents of silver; The price of charcoal is about one penny and six cents; It is all five dollars of silver. Then one pound of "more good iron" costs at least one penny, six cents, six cents, and six millimeters. Steelmaking, per catty, counts two dollars of silver, can be made into nail leaves; If you count three taels of silver, you can make a knife.

If the bird gun is refined from 40 catties to 8 catties (the loss rate is amazing), the price per catty of iron must be more than one penny, six cents, six cents and six millimeters, and the total price is calculated as three taels of silver at 1.5 times. Salary, bare drilling, thirty diaries, one or two and a half dollars. Other craftsmen's money, parts money, wood money, charcoal money, about one tael of silver, that is to say, the cost price is at least five taels and five dollars.

This is still the actual cost price, and when it comes to the imperial court to purchase, then the price of a bird gun will be at least eight to ten taels.

As a result, the courtiers were overjoyed and expressed their support one after another, saying that they must train the new army, and they must train special training, otherwise they will not be able to quell the rebellion in Liaodong.

So the question is, where does the money come from?

As a result, the Donglin Party decided to levy additional salaries.

Qin Rongshuai didn't have time to care about what the Donglin Party was going to do, he was now studying the natural rubber transported from Nanyang, and the previous steam engine seals were welded with the welding rods he brought with him.

At the beginning, it was okay to build a few steam engines, but when the number of steam engines increased, the welding rod ran out.

Although he also brought some rubber raw materials, it was not enough, so Qin Rongshuai arranged for people to go to Nanyang to search for more than half a year, and finally found a stable supply of natural rubber.

With rubber, a lot of things are easy to do.

With the establishment of the three acids and two alkalis combined chemical plant, the beginning of Liaodong is the first step towards modern industry.

The first is the industrial production of nitric acid, so that Qin Rongshuai's firearms army no longer has to worry about gunpowder.

Moreover, nitric acid and sulfuric acid made it possible to manufacture smokeless gunpowder on a large scale, and flintlock pistols were replaced by more advanced breech-loading rifles before they could become popular.

Qin Rongshuai imitated the British Martini-Henry rifle as the first standard rifle, which used a single-shot loading and was simple and easy to operate and maintain.

At that time, it was widely equipped in the British army at that time, and it had shown its skills in various colonies, and it had withstood the test of various environments, which could be regarded as very reliable and durable.

For artillery, Krupp 75-mm field guns and 120-mm howitzers were chosen as the main artillery to equip their new army.

This equipment upgrade directly consumed the seamless steel pipe in Qin Rongshuai's personal space. In three years, the new army in Liaodong became a modern army equipped with 200,000 breech-loading rifles and hundreds of artillery pieces.

At this time, Qin Rongshuai had a feeling of drawing his sword and looking around at a loss, and carefully looked around his territory, and there were almost no threatening opponents.

The nomads in the western grassland were very well-behaved in the face of Qin Rongshuai's firearms troops, not to mention that the two sides were doing business in general, and the leaders of the Horqin tribe wanted to sacrifice their daughters to Qin Rongshuai several times.

This daughter is the famous Da Yuer in history, Qin Rongshuai has seen it once before, people, she looks really Peugeot.

It's a pity that Qin Rongshuai is not interested in her, he only wants to build socialism, and women will only affect his speed of drawing his sword.

To the north are primitive tribes in the deep mountains and old forests, and they have long since surrendered under the blows of sugar-coated shells such as grain, iron, cloth and salt.

In the south, it is the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately Qin Rongshuai has not a deep foundation now, and he can't eat a bite.

He needs to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that will appear soon, and soon the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, and then it will be his chance to make a move.

Then to the east of him is Goryeo, not only weak, but also very unconvinced, no matter how you look at it, you can't be beaten.

So Qin Rongshuai ordered 50,000 troops and drove all the way to the Yalu River, where he questioned the Li dynasty in Goryeo.

When the first emperor died, what did your country, as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, do?

Goryeo was directly confused, we ...... We have filial piety throughout the country.

Qin Rongshuai was immediately surprised when he heard this answer, hey, this is a smart learner.

So he continued to ask, how long do you wear filial piety?

The Li dynasty replied, a month.

Qin Rongshuai thought for a while and continued to ask: "Why don't you keep filial piety for three months, it is obviously perfunctory and disrespectful to the emperor." ”

The monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty just wanted to refute that it was enough to keep filial piety for the emperor for 27 days, but how could there be three months. But the form is stronger than the person, Qin Rongshuai's new weapons are sharp, and they can't afford to provoke them.

So the Li dynasty proposed that they re-observe filial piety for Emperor Taichang for a period of three months.

Qin Rongshuai thought for a long time, and finally asked angrily: "Then how long did your emperor die and keep filial piety?" ”

The envoys of the Li Dynasty replied tremblingly, and it was also a month.

Qin Rongshuai was suddenly overjoyed, uh, and said angrily: "Your emperor died and kept filial piety for a month, and you also guarded filial piety for a month after the death of my emperor. ”

The 50,000-strong army directly crossed the river and killed all the way to Yangping, and the Li dynasty could not resist at all, so they could only kneel and beg for mercy.

In addition to contributing a large amount of gold, silver and grain, he also leased Jeju Island to Qin Rongshuai for 99 years at a price of 100 taels of silver.

Not only that, but every year the Li Dynasty also provided Liaodong with various mineral deposits, grains and other items.

Qin Rongshuai was satisfied, and admonished the Goryeo monarchs and ministers before withdrawing his troops back.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty also spent a huge amount of money to train a firearms army of 50,000 people, and suddenly felt that the confidence was greatly increased, and reappointed Xiong Tingbi as the governor of Liaodong, and Yuan Yingtai as the governor of Liaodong, commanding an army of 50,000 people, and went out to crusade against rebellion.
