The so-called arrangement of the Long Live Lord is actually a new deal that Daming is about to start.

That is, starting from the shipbuilding industry, the opening of private factories in Daming has been gradually opened.

The stakes are high, and Hirofumi Ito naturally won't reveal his tone casually.

For a long time, the economic system of the Ming Dynasty was basically a single royal ownership, and Zhu Fugui himself was the only landlord and the only capitalist in the Ming Dynasty.

However, after two years of economic development, the Ming people have accumulated a considerable amount of capital.

These capitals are not only the wages paid by Zhu Fugui, but also intangible capital such as knowledge and technology, and even the increasingly abundant population.

Zhu Fugui is the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible to take care of everything in a long-term way after all.

Zhu Fugui's own positioning of the Ming royal family a hundred years later is only a little more noble than the Thai royal family, a little richer than the Saudi royal family, a little harder than the royal family of Wajima, and a little longer than the British royal family.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui has never excluded private capital from participating in the construction of Daming.

Nirvana Bank will even be set up to support private entrepreneurs in financing.

But this is a double-edged sword, and it must be done with caution.

For example, this time to open up the shipbuilding and offshore shipping industry, Zhu Fugui intends to learn from the experience of Macau's gaming industry and carry out it in the form of issuing licenses.

The reason for such caution is naturally due to the fact that many of the problems that will be known to later generations must be avoided.

For example, it is necessary to prevent the possibility of the possibility of high-level technical personnel of two royal enterprises, one ship and two ships, being poached.

Since the first and second ships received orders from sailors, the profit margin was relatively fixed, and the bulk of the profits needed to be handed over to Zhu Fugui's internal funds (due to the need to purchase materials from the system, Zhu Fugui's internal funds are now also the state treasury).

Therefore, purely from the point of view of salary payment, it is very likely that the two royal shipyards will be lower than private enterprises.

Although the welfare of the employees of the royal enterprise is more secure, after all, it has only been two years since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Fugui is not sure whether his credit can offset that part of the difference.

Another example is the problem of private capital not obeying policy guidance, and even colluding with foreigners' capital chaebols.

As a member of the Ming Dynasty, he has eyebrows with the top rich foreigners, and even secretly communicates with the daughter of the foreigner, and even talks about business negotiations in bed!

This kind of appalling and terrible incident that happened inside the Ming Dynasty really shouldn't have happened a second time!

This is to be resolutely prevented, strictly controlled, and severely cracked down!

There are many more hidden dangers like this, and the list goes on.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Zhu Fugui must ensure that he can hold those private shipyards in his hands, and he can pinch them flat and round them at any time.

……

In addition to opening banks and issuing shipbuilding and shipping licenses, the second topic that the Ming court will mainly promote in the next two months is the expansion of armaments.

It is in the interests of the Ming Dynasty to have a controllable conflict with the Lincoln administration.

But there must be a reason for war.

There is no doubt that it is a good choice when it comes to road wars.

It's a multiple-kill thing.

On the one hand, it protects the opening of the railway from Daming to Omaha, on the other hand, it shows its strength, promotes peace with war, and finally facilitates cultural expansion.

Zhu Fugui was confident that he would defeat the Northern Army, because it would be impossible for them to attack.

If Lincoln had been smart enough, the two sides might have been able to reach a certain tacit understanding.

Therefore, on 20 February of the third year of the German Army, Zhu Fugui made a decision at a cabinet meeting to decide on a new army expansion plan.

The main idea is to build 1 A division and 2 B divisions with a ratio of 1 to 3 veterans and recruits, and expand the Royal Army to 65,000 men (two A divisions and three B divisions).

At the same time, the San Diego round battle was carried out to train the team and prepare for the road protection campaign.

The so-called San Diego Round Battle is actually a continuation of the California Liberation Campaign commanded by Qi Wenchang.

Today, Qi Wenchang's expeditionary force has recovered Xinhang and Xinxia, and is facing off with the Texas Infantry Regiment thirty kilometers north of San Diego.

The Texans learned wisely and built quite a few bunker-like structures there.

Since the expeditionary force had run out of gas canisters and lacked large-caliber artillery, it was still a bit of a hassle to break down these pillbox towers.

Of course, with the mobility of an armored division, it is not impossible to bypass the enemy's front defenses and go straight into the heart of Santiago.

But Zhu Fugui had already telegraphed Qi Wenchang not to advance further south, and to give the Texans a breath of relief.

In the future, the Ming Army will take turns to transfer to the San Diego front line with brigades as units, and train the team with low-intensity actual combat so that the recruits can grow as soon as possible.

……

Just when the Ming Dynasty was speeding up immigration and training the new army in rotation, Zhu Fugui's long-awaited fleet finally came.

Thanks to the near-non-existent means of long-range communication on ships of this era, the 12 warships purchased from the British through Vanderbilt did not notice anything unusual and returned home in the second half of the journey.

They arrived at the port of New Qinhuangdao, which was originally occupied by the Canadians, as scheduled.

Naturally, the Daming Naval Division quickly took over these long-coveted warships.

As for the sailors accompanying the ship, Zhu Fugui was not embarrassed.

It's not that I'm afraid of offending the British, but I don't want to make it difficult for the Vanderbilt family.

After all, if hundreds of Royal Navy sailors are killed at once, then according to the urine nature of the British, it will definitely cause a storm all over the city.

Now it's best to be so unclear, the British have money in their pockets, and they don't bother to check this confused account.

In short, the informants inside the enemy still have to be protected.

Learning what kind of stupid things Xiang Yu did like "this Pei Gong Zuo Sima Cao is harmless" is not a manifestation that can achieve great things.

With warships, it is natural that the naval division will also be expanded.

These twelve ships are all new ships built after 1863, and the technical content is similar to that of "Zhenjiang" and "Yangzhou", but because they were built in Britain, the quality may be better than that of American goods.

Its main battleship was an ironclad light cruiser with a displacement of 2794 tons.

Main armament: 4 228mm guns, launched in May 1864, dimensions: 73.1m× 14.6m×6.2m.

The 2794-ton cruiser can be said to be quite pocket-sized, and it is a younger brother in the British Navy sequence.

However, in the Far East, and even in the entire Pacific Ocean, it can be regarded as the existence of top-notch hard goods.

In addition, the other 11 ships were gunboats, or frigates, that were close to the two ships "Zhenjiang" and "Yangzhou".

But considering that something less than 3,000 tons could call itself a cruiser, it was not unreasonable to consider these gunboats destroyers.

After deliberation with the Ministry of War, the twelve warships were named:

Liaodong (capital ship), Shenyang, Ningyuan, Guangning, Tieling, Dongning, Dingliao, Sanwan, Liaohai, Jinzhou, Yizhou, Haizhou.

So far, the total tonnage of the Daming North Pacific Naval Division has reached more than 13,000 tons.

Although it is not tied to a fraction of the 80,000-ton cargo ship that later generations used to do so (the cargo ship that had just crashed into a Japanese submarine had a full load of 145,000 tons...... terrible), but at least more than a drop in the weight of any single warship in service with Britain today.

This has drawn a strong stroke for His Majesty Zhu Fugui's great cause in the Pacific Ocean.

However, these warships, especially the capital ship Liaodong, have no plans to launch for the time being.

First, there are not so many sailors to drive these warships in the Daming Navy, and secondly, their power systems are too backward, and the sailors who have been accustomed to surging power look down on them, and they need to replace the new power system of the Daming characteristic water pipe steam engine + turbine blade fan.

Of course, there is another point, that is, before the full construction of the ship, the engineers of the first and second ships will try to disassemble, restore, and record the internal parameters of the Liaodong in detail, and learn the ship-building skills.

In the future, whenever something falls from the old beauty, the elite soldiers and strong generals of various research institutes across the country will quickly travel together on a business trip, and then a few years later, there will be a number of breakthroughs in a certain field in our country, whether big or small.

It's the same today.

Da Ming has mastered the construction skills of small warships of the gunboat level, but for a large-tonnage battleship, it is the first time that he has obtained a physical object that can be disassembled, so he naturally can't help but be happy.

……

Just when the Navy and Army were happily eating dumplings together, Banzai, who had always been keen on military affairs, was nowhere to be seen.

Even Yin Susu found out that Wan Sui Ye had been haunted in the recent past and could not find anyone.

Just when she was thinking about whether to send Kitagawa Keiko, a female ninja, to investigate and see if Banzai had raised a new outer room, Zhu Fugui came back with Ito Hirofumi with a haggard face.

"Elbow, follow me back to the house!"

"No, it's a designated ...... today."

Looking at the Long Live Lord who fell asleep on the sofa, Yin Susu was just fine, and the old Eunuch Li asked fiercely: "Say, where did you take the Long Live Lord!" Don't think I don't know, you Japanese customs are very famous! ”
