"That's not going to work." Chongzhen said, "If my father directly gives Kim Hyun a decree, it will be a usurpation of the cabinet's powers, and the officials in the court must not make a fuss?" At the moment, they are only scolding their father for a few words, but if the father and emperor make an order to encroach on the cabinet, they are afraid that they will have to give a blood sentence to the prince of the country and splash the blood of our father and son. ”

If you really do this, it will directly intensify the contradictions between the two sides.

To take such a step would mean a complete split in the imperial party.

From then on, the entire civilian-bureaucratic clique had to stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Although Chongzhen is not afraid of this, he can not break up or not.

After all, the main contradiction now is the dispute between the emperor and the Jiannu to destroy the country, and the contradiction between the emperor and the civil official clique is an internal contradiction and a secondary contradiction.

Besides, the direct method of arresting people is too low-level.

As a high-end player, Chongzhen disdains to do this.

"Father, is that it?" Zhu Cijiong said angrily.

Chongzhen said: "Forget it like this, it's definitely impossible to just forget it." ”

Zhu Cihong's heart moved and asked, "So, my father has an idea?" ”

"Of course." Chongzhen said abruptly, "My father is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he has the resources of the entire Ming Dynasty in his hands. ”

"See, how they ate it,"

"When the time comes, my father will let them spit it out."

After saying this, he said: "And it is all spit out with interest." ”

Zhu Cijiong said with a smile: "The ministers there can rest assured, otherwise it will be too cheap for these profiteers." ”

Chongzhen smiled and said: "Okay, now each section reports its work separately, and the Gewu department doesn't need to report again, I have already seen the steam engine in the morning, which of the other departments will come first?" ”

"Holy." Zheng Sen stood up and said, "Let's go first." ”

"Okay." Chongzhen said happily, "You just tell me well, how far can the flying car made by your flight department fly?" How many loads can you carry? ”

"Back to the saint, the flying car No. 1 can carry a load of about 1,000 catties, of which the total weight of personnel, oil oil, propeller device and hanging basket is about 800 catties, and the flight distance can reach up to 100 miles." Zheng Sen said with a smug face, "If you carry 20 grenades, you can only fly 50 miles." ”

"Not bad." Chongzhen smiled and said, "But I think it can be improved." ”

"It has to be improved." Zheng Sen nodded heavily and said, "Flying Car No. 1 is still small, and Chen plans to make a bigger one, ten times larger than Flying Car No. 1, so that it can fly farther and carry more grenades." ”

Chongzhen hurriedly asked, "How big is the current Flying Car No. 1?" What is the length diameter? ”

Zheng Sen has already seen the schematic diagram drawn by Chongzhen, and he is already familiar with concepts such as length, width, height, and diameter.

At that moment, Zheng Sen replied: "The length of the flying car No. 1 is 10 zhang, the diameter is 4 zhang, the total height of the hanging basket is 5 zhang, and the length of the enlarged flying car No. 2 is 20 zhang, and the diameter should be increased to 6 zhang!" ”

"Zheng Damu, can you give me a little pause?" Ma Mingluo couldn't help it.

"How much money did you spend on this Flying Car 1? How many times can't you get another flying car No. 2? ”

"No matter how big our internal affairs office is, it can't stand your trick, so if you have to build a flying car No. 2, go to your Lao Tzu to ask for silver, and the Duke of Min will be worth a million taels if he pulls out a hair."

"Master Ma, do you think I didn't look for it?" Zheng Sen said with a dark face, "He refuses to give it alive." ”

Chongzhen asked Ma Mingluo with a smile: "Ma Qing, how much silver did this flying car No. 1 of the Flying Section cost?" ”

"Back to the saint, 150,000 taels of silver have been spent." Ma Mingluo said painfully, "150,000 taels, you can purchase 60,000 flintlock guns or 250 4-inch guns, and you can make such a thing." ”

Chongzhen was also shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that the cost of this thing is really not cheap.

If you get 100 airships to form an air force, then you can't spend 15 million taels?

Zheng Sen hurriedly explained: "Shengshang, in fact, it's not that expensive, the flying car No. 1 is because I haven't tried it before, so I made a lot of mistakes, and I wasted a lot of materials, and it won't be so expensive if I build another one." ”

Chongzhen asked, "Then how much silver would it cost to build a flying car of the same size?" ”

Zheng Sen replied: "If you build a car of the same size, 20,000 taels of silver is enough." ”

"20,000 taels?" Chongzhen smiled and said, "Then your flying car No. 1 is a bit wasteful." ”

Zheng Sen scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Holy Lord, isn't it unmade." ”

Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Otherwise, don't make any flying car No. 2, you can build 25 flying cars according to the size of flying car No. 1, and then officially form an air force." ”

Zheng Sen said excitedly: "If you build 25 flying cars, the price can be lower." ”

"Well, let's build 25 first." Chongzhen nodded and said, "Then recruit soldiers from the Guozi prison students and start training to fly in formation, and it is best to compile a set of training teaching materials." ”

"Yes." Zheng Sen clenched his fists and said, "The minister will come early tomorrow morning to recruit scholars. ”

25 flying cars can carry about 500 grenades, which is a bit interesting.

In this way, Zheng Sen's air force and Zhang Jimeng's divine artillery will become the two secret weapons of the Ming army.

If Jiannu knew about it in advance and took precautions, Zheng Sen's air force and Zhang Jimeng's divine artillery would not pose much of a threat, but under the premise that Jiannu didn't know, he suddenly used these two secret weapons, which could definitely constitute the most lethal damage to Jiannu.

It's a pity that these two secret weapons can work wonders for the first time.

The second time you use Jiannu, you will definitely have precautions, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, these two secret weapons cannot be used lightly, and must be saved until the decisive battle.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen asked Zhang Jimeng directly: "Zhang Jimeng, has the divine artillery been built?" ”

"Back to the saints, the creation is good, but the result is not satisfactory." Zhang Jimeng stood up and said with some shame, "The minister tried more than a hundred times, but he couldn't hit the designated area. ”

"How much worse?" Chongzhen asked, "Twenty zhang?" ”

Zhang Jimeng said: "Not only twenty zhang, but fifty zhang." ”

Chongzhen was speechless for an instant, this circular probability deviation is really speechless.

With a range of two or three thousand meters, the circular probability deviation can exceed 100 meters, isn't this Brownian motion? In another world, only Ah San's missiles can be compared.

……

Let's go back and talk about Jiannu.

Through the battle of Qingshun, Dolgon also did a great thing.

It was in the Horqin, Chahar, and Tumut Mongol tribes that the alliance flag system was enforced, and the nomadic land boundaries of each tribe were demarcated, and from then on, each tribe could only graze within the demarcated area, and it was strictly forbidden to cross regional nomadism, otherwise they would be severely punished by the Qing court.

The population of the various tribes was then compiled.

Through this set of measures, the Qing court's control over the Mongol tribes was strengthened as never before.

This move also meant that the Qing court had achieved a real sense of rule over the Inner Mongolian tribes.

During the Nurhachi era, he was only allied with the Horqin Mongols, and Huang Taiji only became the nominal Mongol co-ruler, but here in Dolgon, he achieved de facto rule over the Inner Mongolian tribes.

Of course, this is also because Huang Taiji has laid a solid foundation.

Otherwise, Dorgon himself would never have been able to achieve this goal.

The greatest advantage of this move was that it greatly strengthened the military power of the Qing court.

Ganglin, the senior scholar in charge of handling this matter, was stating to Dolgon at this moment: "Master, the demarcation of the pastoral areas of the Horqin Mongols, Chahar Mongols, and Tumut Mongols has all been completed, and the compilation of the herdsmen of each tribe has also been completed, with a total of more than 120,000 strong men and more than 300,000 mouths. ”

"Okay." Dolgon said happily, "The generals have been sent?" ”

"Yes, they've all been sent." Gang Lin said, "In the future, when there is another war in the Qing Dynasty, I can issue a conscription order to the Mongolian departments through the General's Palace, and in addition to the remaining troops, a maximum of 80,000 Mongolian cavalry can be recruited!" ”

Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng were all very excited when they heard this, and the cavalry strength of the Qing Dynasty was doubled, before this, the outer Mongolian domain could recruit twenty or thirty thousand cavalry at most, but after the implementation of the alliance flag system, the number of Mongolian cavalry that could be recruited increased to eighty thousand cavalry!

Dolgon sighed lightly and said: "The number of Mongolian cavalry that can be conscripted has greatly increased, which is of course a good thing, but there are also bad things, in the future, if you want to recruit Mongolian cavalry to fight for our Qing Dynasty, you need the Qing court to provide food and salary for it, and the pressure on the Qing court will increase." ”

"What the master said is very true." Gang Lin muttered, "Don't say anything else, it's just that this year's grain and grass used to help the Tumut Mongol tribes is an astronomical amount, and the servants have estimated that at least 100,000 stone of grain and 500,000 bales of forage are needed, otherwise the herdsmen or cattle and sheep will starve to death in a large area." ”

Dolgon then asked, "How much of the autumn grain has been harvested in Gyeonggi?" ”

Ganglin said: "Not counting the public treasury of each banner, the autumn grain returned to the treasury is about 1 million stones, and the forage is 5 million bags. ”

"Why is that all there is?" Dolgon's face instantly darkened, and he said, "According to Nanming's fish scale atlas, there are more than 40 million mu of cultivated land near Jingshi, and even if you collect one stone per mu, there should be more than 40 million stones!" ”

Ganglin smiled bitterly: "Master, the account is not calculated like this, although there are more than 40 million mu of cultivated land in Gyeonggi, but there are only 500,000 coatings for farming, and 500,000 coatings can not be planted for more than 40 million mu, and the actual cultivation is only 20 million mu, and the mu harvest is far from a stone, only about four buckets." ”

Jiannu adopts extensive farming, and the yield per mu is very low.

"There are still only four buckets per mu?" Dolgon's face was embarrassed.

What is this food for? A big battle is gone.

Therefore, the family background of the Qing Dynasty is still thin, and it cannot be compared with Nanming.

Ganglin said: "Master, counting Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, it should be able to make up 2 million stones." ”
