Why didn't Zhu Jianji have the slightest mercy for the Indochina Peninsula?

There are considerations of national interest.

There are also personal feelings.

Not to mention the national interests, the current development of the Ming Dynasty needs the Indochina Peninsula as a back garden to provide sufficient manpower and resources for the Ming Dynasty, so this place must be convinced.

How to be convinced?

How did Bai Qi, Wang Jian and others of the Qin State subdue the Six Kingdoms back then, and now the Ming Dynasty will subdue the Indochina Peninsula.

Private feelings, I won't mention it.

After the defeat of Jiaozhi, he implemented a month-long policy of white terror, exterminated the Li royal family, and then insisted on purging the remnants of the rebellion, until recently, when he allowed Jiaozhi Cheng to declare the political envoy to implement benevolent government.

And on the side of Nanzhang, Phnom Penh and Dacheng, there is still something that makes Zhu Jianji care.

Golden triangle.

Well, the Golden Triangle doesn't exist yet.

But one thing to say, in the real river of history, the Golden Triangle will appear sooner or later, and it has a huge impact on China, even in the 21st century, countless heroes and martyrs die because of it every year.

So......

Indochina must be killed.

Latter...... If the Ming Dynasty has the ability and conditions to develop the Golden Triangle after controlling the Indochina Peninsula, then can the Ming Dynasty also use that thing to loot gold and silver in Europe like the former powers?

It can be considered, but with caution.

After all, that thing is too dangerous, it is a double-edged sword, if it can't be completely controlled and not let it flow into the country, it must not be operated, if it can be perfectly controlled, it will not flow back to the country a little bit, then it can be operated.

When the time comes, it will be frantically transported to Europe and the Americas, and at the same time, it will be used to increase its colonial control over other continents, and at the same time, it can also frantically launder gold and silver and return home.

Isn't it fragrant?

As for the moral considerations...... Zhu Jianji was under no pressure.

The way of the other.

Therefore, all development still depends on force, without a strong navy and army, the Ming can only watch other continents, and can only operate their own one-third of an acre.

But the steam tank went to war, and there were many problems.

Now that the two courts have completed the expansion of production, and the rioters are working overtime to produce tanks, the court centers have also followed Emperor Guang'an to inspect the two courts, and have seen this kind of weapon that His Majesty has become the king of land warfare, and they also know more or less.

"Your Majesty, the steam tank is huge in size and heavy in mass, although it is faster than a horse-drawn carriage, it is not as fast as the speed of the cavalry, and when it drives to the Indochina Peninsula, will it be too late in time?" ”

Zhu Jianji also had a headache.

Limited by the power of the steam engine and the weight of the tank, the speed of the steam tank is really not fast at present.

Chen Xun said: "And the operation of the steam tank requires a lot of coal and ammunition, and the consumption rate is also amazing. ”

Zhu Jianji snorted, "There is not much problem in terms of time, Jingguang Road will be opened to traffic at the end of this month, and then the tank will arrive in Guangxi through Jingguang Road, and then from Guangxi to Nanzhang, the whole journey will take about a month, so it will be in time." ”

In order to repair the Jingguang Road as soon as possible, the Road Traffic Department of the Ministry of Industry has accelerated the progress and paid the price.

The number of dead and wounded people has skyrocketed!

Fortunately, they are all cochin people, and they are not distressed.

Spending money can calm people's hearts.

Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, although benevolent government was implemented, for the sake of national interests, the lives of the people of Jiaozhi had little weight in the eyes of Zhu Jianji.

They are atoning for the sins of future generations!

In this way, before the autumn, the troops in the south will be supported by the fire of steam tanks rushing into the battlefield.

Winters in Indochina are not very cold.

As long as there is not a harsh environment such as snow covering the mountains, steam tanks can fight, and the Indochina Peninsula has slightly less rain in winter, which is more suitable for steam tank combat.

He also said: "As for the coal supply, it will be transported from Shanxi to Gyeonggi and then to the Indochina Peninsula, in the early stage, it will definitely be too late in time, so this problem must be solved, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Jianji really didn't think about this question.

There was silence in Fengtian Temple.

Only the hum of an electric fan.

After a long time, Yu Qian slowly came out of the ranks, "The old minister knows that the two houses have not only built steam tanks, but also built steam carriages——"

Zhu Jianji corrected: "Yu Shaobao, it's called a steam transport vehicle, and it can become a steam armored vehicle if it is modified." ”

Yu Qian immediately changed his words and said: "Since the steam transport vehicle has been built, why not let the steam transport truck and the steam tank go south together, bring a large amount of coal, and then the steam tank will be put into the battlefield, and the steam transport truck will return to Shanxi to continue to transport coal?" ”

Zhu Jianji shook his head, "This can't be done, the coal brought by the steam truck is only enough for itself and the steam tank to drive to the Nanzhang border, at present, the use of the steam truck to transport coal outweighs the loss." ”

Self-consumption is too great.

The ministers fell silent again, this is indeed a difficult problem, if it is not solved, it means that the steam tank can only lie in the barracks when it reaches the Indochina Peninsula, and it is useless.

After a long time, Lang Zhong, an unknown man from the Ministry of Industry, walked into the hall from the end of the ranks, "Your Majesty, forgive Weichen for being bold, Your Majesty and the court centers seem to be a little dark, we don't need to transport coal from Shanxi to the Indochina Peninsula at all, we can use it nearby!" ”

Zhu Jianji's eyes lit up.

it!

Don't say, really, it's dark under the lights!

There are coal resources in the Indochina Peninsula!

And Jiaozhi has been mining for a long time, but because it is not an open-pit coal mine, the mining volume is much lower than that of Shanxi coal mines, so it has been ignored, but the mining volume of Jiaozhi is enough to support the demand for steam tanks.

The Lang Zhong continued: "According to Weichen's knowledge in the Ministry of Industry, several coal mines in the territory of the Jiaozhi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, although it is difficult to mine, and it seems that the reserves are not much, but according to the new weight system formulated by His Majesty, the daily mining capacity is also about seventy tons, and the coal mines mined before are brought back to China by sea because of transportation problems, but now that there are steam conveyors, they can be transported to the Nanzhang front, which should be enough for steam tanks, right?" ”

Zhu Jianji's eyes lit up, about seventy tons......

In addition to the consumption of steam transporters on the road, it should be able to meet the needs of steam tanks, after all, steam tanks do not need to fight every day, and it will take a month for tanks to go south, and they can reserve more than 2,000 tons in advance!

That's enough!

Immediately said: "Jiang Langzhong, since this matter is your suggestion, then you will temporarily put down the Ministry of Industry at hand, work hard to make a trip to Jiaozhi, and be responsible for the overall scheduling of this matter!" ”

As the Son of Heaven, he still has to understand the courtiers, although he is only a Ministry of Labor, but he is also a high-level official in Beijing.

Zhu Jianji still knows his name.

Ministry Langzhong, Jiang Jing.

Jingtai eleven years of the second class jinshi.

Zhu Jianji said this, that is the decision, the rest of the courtiers can't think of a better way, the matter is decided, Zhu Jianji finally said: "Since the logistics problem has been solved, tomorrow the tanks will go out to the Indochina Peninsula, and after the small court meeting tomorrow, you will go with me to march for the tank army!" ”

After the successful expansion of production by the two institutes, although it took several months to build nearly 60 steam tanks, the new production line was practiced in the first two or three months.

The quality is not high.

So there are only thirty tanks that can really be sent to Indochina!

On the contrary, there are more steam conveyors.

Fifty cars.

However, in the current era, it is really not difficult for 30 steam tanks to crush the Indochina Peninsula with the cooperation of 50 steam transport planes and hundreds of thousands of troops as the main force.

Of course, it depends on the conductor.

Therefore, it is time for Mu Cong, Mu Zhan, Zhu Yong and Zhu Yi to make great achievements!
