Emperor Xi personally ordered to meet, Dai Zi, who was far away in Yangzhou, couldn't help but feel heartbroken> Xiang family, his father had served as a small official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qing army had been in the south for more than ten or twenty years, Dai Zi, who grew up in this period, did not feel the pain of the Manchu people, and the sage books he read also believed that the Qing Dynasty was orthodox in China, he repeatedly failed the imperial examination, and was preparing to rely on his father's relationship to get a position in the green camp, at this time the will of the imperial court had just come down, Dai Zi was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, Listening to the tone of the decree, the emperor wanted him to develop the firecracker, making the firecracker was originally his interest, if the court could seal the official and make a wish, let him settle down to develop it, it would be really good.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Dai Zi officially set off at the urging of the Qin Cha, because the emperor was anxious to see him, this way was riding a fast horse to the north, every post station would change horses, half a month of kung fu, then enter Zhili, at this time the court had a will, Dai Zi was appointed as the superintendent of the Ministry of Works, Dai Zi was overjoyed, took over the official uniform of the seal ribbon promulgated by the emperor himself, and felt the emperor's grace was vast, what he didn't know was that if it was changed in another time and space, The same Dai Zi was directly sent to Heilongjiang by this little emperor of the mighty emperor's grace to be enslaved by the armored people, and the reason why he has this opportunity today is precisely because he still has something to use.

After Dai Zi arrived in Beijing, he immediately put on his court clothes and wore them, and was led into the palace to meet him, and in the Taihe Palace, Dai Zi finally saw the emperor.

Kangxi looked a lot more mature than before, his immature face revealed some majesty without anger and self-authority, he glanced at Dai Zi who was bowing to the ground from afar, and he didn't expect Dai Zi to be so young.

"You're Dai Zi? I've seen your Lianzhu, it's good, it's a talent. Kangxi sipped the tea slowly, and said in a slow tone.

Dai Zi didn't dare to raise his head, let alone stand up, and prostrate: "The emperor is wrong to love, how dare Weichen be." ”

Kangxi nodded, revealing a maturity that did not match his age: "You know how to be modest, very good." Perhaps because Ao Bai was too arrogant in front of Kangxi, Kangxi looked at the respectful person differently and asked: "Although forging the fire gun is a strange skill, it is also a strange skill, I have seen your Lianzhu gun, which is more refined than the Lian Huo Gong that is against the Ming, it is really breathtaking, I want to borrow you and let you create a magic weapon for my Qing Dynasty." ”

Dai Zi hurriedly said: "The order of the micro-minister will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." ”

Kangxi asked him again: "Dai Aiqing, now that the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty have harmed the six southwestern provinces, I urgently need a batch of Lianzhu cymbals to the south of the Yangtze River to help the military, what can Aiqing do to rush out a batch." ”

As soon as it came to forging, Dai Zi immediately came to the strength, and said: "It is not easy to forge a bead, not only does it require good steel, but also a large number of skilled craftsmen, which can not be completed overnight, but the front line is tight, and Weichen can only work hard to make 3,000 expenditures within three months, but the emperor needs to prepare good materials and enough manpower for Weichen, and the skilled women are suffering from no rice, let alone Weichen?" ”

Kangxi couldn't help frowning, it took three months to make 3,000 pieces, which was really not what he wanted, but at this time it was the time to use people, except for Dai Zi, no one could make Lianzhu guns, and he had to reluctantly do so, fortunately, the Dutch craftsmen on the other side also began to forge, three months later, three thousand Lianzhu cymbals and thousands of new breech guns could be sent to Jiangxi, and they were transferred to Ao Bai for use first, and the Dutchman's artillery forging technology was very exquisite, plus the docks in Tianjin and other places had begun to build battleships, within a year, The new army and the naval division will be able to form a certain scale, and then the land and water will advance together, and it will be seen how long Nanming can hold out.

Kangxi was in a trance. He set his eyes on Dai Zi again: "I heard that you are also interested in shipbuilding. I have opened seven shipyards in Tianjin. Several have also been opened in Kanwai and other places. The Dutch boatmen are indeed superb. Those Dutchmen don't know that I have a lot of things. I opened more than a dozen dockyards for shipbuilding. The Dutch were dumbfounded. They are no more than a thousand miles away. The people are not more than a million. There are only two shipyards in a country. Now it's time for the Celestial Empire. Only then did I know that the sky was high and the earth was wide. Ha ha. I have ordered the dockyards to speed up the construction of ships. I will not delay the required materials. A year later. will be able to recapture Qiongzhou and other islands. Kangxi's tone was full of arrogance. And it's no wonder. The Netherlands is small and weak. You can build so many huge ships. Kangxi is self-sustaining, sitting on the country. There are also skilled Dutch craftsmen. Just give it your all. It's no problem to build several fleets a year. The Manchus always thought that the victory of the Ming army was due to the sharp firearms of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Now Kangxi has a series of beads. With the help of Dutch craftsmen. Naturally, I thought that Nanming was not enough to be troubled.

Dai Zi saw that Kangxi attached great importance to firearms. lamented that he didn't like to read since he was a child. Suxi Machinery is really lucky. Now heroes have a place to play. I am also full of ambition in my heart. Said: "The emperor is sage." Wechen also has some ideas about shipbuilding. In fact, there are many types of warships. Each has its own merits. Therefore. The real dominance in naval battles is not the battleship. Rather, sharp artillery. The reason why Western warships are dominant. The ground relied on was exactly what the battleship could carry, and there were a lot of ground guns. ”

Kangxi is deep

Nod yes. Dai Zi is really a talent. So he said, "I asked you to be in T3 because I want you to be the governor of the manufacturing bureau and the dockyard. You do your errands with your heart. ”

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Dai Zi bowed to the ground. Kangxi stroked the handle of the gold mahogany chair. The eunuchs on the side immediately understood that the emperor was lacking. Hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Get up." Return to the Temple of Nourishing the Heart! ”

Dai Zi said goodbye and didn't mention it.

In Haidu, Zhu Jun has been running around the valley for half a month, wanting to see the progress of the forging of new artillery, but Churchill frowned at this enthusiastic emperor, and finally issued an order to evict the guests fearlessly for a few days, for no other reason, every appearance of Zhu Jun will make the craftsmen of the secret factory in the valley uncomfortable, and Churchill and the craftsmen cannot work normally.

Zhu Jun touched the nail in front of Churchill, but he didn't care, and left with a smile, the twists and turns in the palace have piled up, these twists and turns have been handled by the cabinet, and the opinions have been written, all Zhu Jun has to do is to approve the red recital, and after a few days of hard work, it was finally cleaned up.

A memo drafted by a foreign feudal clan attracted Zhu Jun's attention, and it was the national letter of Japan, and the Tokugawa shogunate asked the Ming Dynasty to admit a group of Japanese to study at the Daming Academy.

It stands to reason that it is a matter of course for the feudal state to send students to study abroad to arrive in the Ming Dynasty, and the approval of the cabinet below is also agreed, but Zhu Jun feels very awkward, Japan's trade in the past year is completely controlled by the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, due to the country's gold and silver mines, those maritime merchants earn a trade surplus of millions of taels of silver from Japan every year, the Japanese are also very respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and even the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who go to Japan to trade have also given a lot of preferential treatment, some big merchants can enter and leave the Tokugawa shogunate at will, even if it is a crime, The shogunate will also try to give convenience, which makes Japan's reputation among the Ming people very good, there are Di newspapers and even for the Japanese country, the Ming Dynasty's foreign vassals have won the name of "the country of eternal conquest", why doesn't Japan?

Zhu Jun can only shake his head and smile bitterly at this voice, but he admires the greatness of the Japanese in his heart, and is more guarded, for this national letter, Zhu Jun finally used a red pen to approve a quasi-word, since you want to come, then come openly, otherwise I don't know what despicable means will be used to learn it, as for Japanese state affairs, Zhu Jun also has to be careful, this nation is very obedient when you are strong, but once you are weak, you will often be the first to jump out and kill you.

"International students?" Zhu Jun suddenly thought of something, since Japan sent students over, why couldn't he use some means? The Tokugawa shogunate has reached the end of the period, the major names have coveted Edo for a long time, this time is a good time to let this island country fall into civil strife, as long as it is properly controlled, let it be chaotic for more than ten years There is no problem, then the Ming Dynasty will come forward to mediate as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, called persuasion, it is really weakened, and he must not be able to turn it over within a hundred years.

Zhu Jun had made up his mind, and he was in a happy mood, so he hurriedly called the attendant beside him and said, "Go, invite Master Yang." ”

The waiter complied and hurried away. Now the situation is very clear, the Ming need enough time to digest the land and soldiers of the three feudatories, all of which will take a long time, and the Manchus also urgently need to accumulate strength and prepare for the final decisive battle, so the war in the north has suddenly stopped, unless a certain fuse is ignited, neither side wants to take the initiative. Therefore, what Zhu Jun now has to do is not only to train new soldiers and open up the six northern provinces, but more importantly, to find an opportunity to break through the defense line south of the Manchu River, and this location is Japan.

To the east of the Pacific Ocean, Japan is bordered by the hinterland of the southeast coast to the east, and most importantly, to the north is the Korean Peninsula.

Zhu Jun had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of a Japanese wild saying: "If you want to conquer China first, you must first conquer Manchuria, and if you want to govern Manchuria first, you must conquer Korea." ”

Isn't this an excellent offensive line, now the Yangtze River line is heavily gathered, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is deployed everywhere, 400,000 troops are in front of the Southern Ming Dynasty, unless it fights to the death with the Manchu Dynasty, it is difficult to open a hole in this line of defense, the only way is to open up a new road, and this method comes from Japan, and was changed by Zhu Jun: "If you want to recover the world first, you must first conquer Manchuria, if you want to conquer Manchuria first, you must conquer Korea, if you want to conquer Korea first, you must first conquer Japan."

”

The main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Gyeonggi is all deployed to defend the Yangtze River, and the army of the old nest outside the Guanxi is garrisoning Gyeonggi, that is to say, in Liaodong, the defense of Manchuria is very weak, as long as it can tear a hole there, the Manchu Qing will inevitably rush to the land of Longxing desperately, when Zhu Jun sends another sailor to swim in the waters of Tianjin, the Qing army's Gyeonggi will also be seriously threatened, Liaodong is the nest of the Manchus, it is not allowed to be lost, Gyeonggi is the top priority, therefore, the 400,000 main force carried by Aobai can only retreat, lose the car to protect the general, The entire line of the Yangtze River has naturally become the bag of Nanming.
