To tell the truth, Zhu Youzhen originally planned to name the world's first steamship Chongzhen.

But looking at the little old man with a face full of hope in front of him, his heart softened.

Wang Zheng is 60 years old this year, and it is not easy to be tirelessly active in scientific research.

Besides, even if he has not made any achievements in the field of research, the fact that he committed suicide and martyrdom after the Jiashen Revolution alone is worthy of Zhu Youzhen's respect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Zheng's mouth couldn't close his smile.

"I divided Liaodong into a new province, and took one character from Liaodong and Quang Ninh, and called Liaoning. Among them, the iron ore body in Anshan, Liaoyang and Benxi areas is thick and shallow, which is suitable for large-scale open-pit mining. I have already ordered the establishment of the Anben Iron and Steel Group, and once the Anben Iron and Steel Group is put into operation, large-scale railway construction can begin. At that time, you can also study in the direction of the steel steamship. ”

"Earlier, the minister also heard about His Majesty's recovery of Liaodong, but the minister was not too surprised. The minister had long known that it was only a matter of time before he could recover Liaodong with His Majesty's majesty. If His Majesty said that once the Anben Iron and Steel Group is put into production, I will not be short of steel in Daming. It is as big as building railways to reduce transportation costs. It can be as small as making cooking utensils and farm tools. will bring amazing changes to Daming. But there is one thing that the minister has to say. ”

"Wang Qing, please speak."

"If industrialization is in full swing, a lot of people will lose their jobs as a result. Your Majesty be ready. ”

"I've thought about it. Look at this overseas, although the territory of Daming is vast, there are more fertile soil overseas that we have not been to wait for us to explore.

The weather has been getting colder and colder in recent years, and I predict that there will be more natural disasters in the next ten years. Protracted droughts, flooding in the south, and the plague that inevitably followed the catastrophe. Even if we don't promote the development of industry, the survival of our people will face a huge threat.

Only by developing industry rapidly can we ensure the survival of our people. By building railways, we can quickly evacuate victims and quickly transport relief supplies. At worst, move troops quickly. We can make steel, we can build strong ships and cannons, we can go out to sea to fish in the year of famine, and we can trade with other countries. We have the fastest, strongest ships, and we have the longest-range, most powerful artillery. I believe that no country can refuse to do business with us, and if there is, it is that we did not have friendly consultations with them!

Wang Qing, I don't want the Ming Dynasty to become a heavenly kingdom, and I don't want other countries to know my kindness. I want Da Ming to stand in this world with a fighting attitude!

As for the things and people you mentioned. I'm not afraid, my knife can cut Tartars, it's not that I can't cut them! ”

Wang Zheng looked at the emperor in front of him, and an indescribable emotion stirred in his chest.

"The minister must live a little longer, and accompany His Majesty to watch Daming stand on top of the world!"

"Hahaha! Yes! Let's go, have a drink with me. ”

"Okay!"

"Where's your mansion?"

"Well, the place where the minister lives is a little messy, why don't you go?"

"Eh~ I'm also a person who has been on the battlefield, and I've never seen any kind of scene. Let's go and see. ”

In the end, Zhu Youzhen couldn't eat at Wang Zheng's house, it was too messy, and all kinds of tools and instruments were wantonly placed in the yard. As soon as he entered the door, there was no place to put his feet, and Zhu Youzhen almost thought that he had arrived at the scrap collection station.

"Wang Qing, in a few days, I will order someone to build you a big mansion. Take the family rolls, you can't have anyone around you who knows how hot and cold. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but no. The minister is quite comfortable here. It's okay to do research, read books. I go to the shipyard's canteen for three meals a day. The shipyard food is still good. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and didn't insist any longer.

If he really wanted pleasure, he wouldn't have stayed here for a year.

After watching the steamer, Zhu Youzhen stayed in Tianjin for two more days, climbed the Panshan Mountain, and then embarked on the return journey.

On the way back, Zhu Youzhen deliberately went to see the triangle lake, and then went north along the Lugou River to enter the city from the west of Jingshi.

Along the way, he either made a clear observation or sent someone to make secret visits.

I learned about the development of immigrants in these places closest to Beijing.

The results are quite satisfactory, and action is taking place everywhere.

It seems that these people are still willing to put in some effort in order to become officials.

When I returned to the palace, I looked through the recent recitals and twists and turns, and then I knew the specific situation.

In the past few days, officials at all levels in Liaoning have organized a total of 53,681 households, totaling 121,560 people, to go to Liaoning.

Founder recruited a little less, only more than 30,000 people, and paid more than 500,000 taels of silver in advance.

The eighth day of June

After getting Zhu Youzhen's permission, two waves of people set off in a majestic manner.

Zhu Youzhen divided Liaoning into eight prefectures according to the region.

They are: Jinzhou, Liaoyang, Anshan, Benxi, Tieling, Dingliao, Fuzhou and Shenyang.

At that time, these people will be assigned to eight prefectures to cultivate grain and multiply.

The more than 30,000 people recruited by Founder were selected from among them to devote themselves to the construction of the steel mill.

As soon as Ni Yuanlu left with a large army, Yuan Keli, the governor of North Korea, brought good news.

He organized more than 40,000 people who had fled to Korea from Liaodong and peasant households who had lost their land in Korea to go to various places in Liaoning.

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, he was not afraid of feeding people, he was afraid of no one.

More than 200,000 people in the early stage have already been able to deploy their fists and feet in Liaoning.

In his early planning, the northern part of Liaoning is rich in mineral resources and is suitable for industry, and the southern part of Liaoning has a slightly better climate and is suitable for agriculture.

In particular, the peripheral derivative industries brought by industry are quite huge.

It is bordered by the Kannai provinces to the west and the Korean Peninsula to the east. Plus a long coastline.

It is believed that within five years, Liaoning's former prosperity will be fully restored. In another ten or twenty years, the new generation will fully grow up, and Liaoning will surely become one of the most important provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

The tenth day of the sixth month

Li Zicheng returned with a thousand operators of the conscienceless cannon.

accompanied by the second madman Zu Dabi.

"Hongji, I heard that you married a mother-in-law and cuckolded you?"

"Hongji, can you sing northern Shaanxi folk songs?"

"Hongji, do you think I will die when I enter Beijing this time?"

"Hongji ......"

"Zu Dabi! Shut up! Besides, I'll kill you first! Li Zicheng said angrily.

This ancestor Dabi didn't know who he heard his nickname, and he made noise in his ears every day along the way, and he was annoyed to death.

"What are you angry about?"

Zu Dabi said with a smile.

He had already heard from these soldiers in the Beijing camp that His Majesty had a good temper, never got angry, and did not like to kill, so it was estimated that he would not die this time. In addition, his personality is naturally arrogant, and he is full of fear.

"Let me tell you, when you come to Your Majesty, put away your ** bird appearance, which makes Your Majesty unhappy, and you have to suffer."

"Okay!"

Sure enough, on the second day of arriving in the capital, Zhu Youzhen summoned Li Zicheng.

Having said that, this was the first time he had met Li Zicheng.

Zhu Youzhen looked curiously at this person who was supposed to be an old enemy, and he really looked extraordinary, and at first glance he was a good material for being a soldier.

"Are you married?"

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, why is Your Majesty like this? Who in the world doesn't know that I, Li Zicheng, was cuckolded?

"Your Majesty, the last general, not yet married."

"You're in your twenties, aren't you?"

"Your Majesty, there will be five out of twenty."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, remembering someone.

"This attack on Liaoshen, you have made great contributions, and I plan to give you a promotion to the next level and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Do you think Zu Dabi has defected to the enemy?"

Zhu Youzhen's sudden question suddenly stopped Li Zicheng, how do you want me to answer.

"I don't know." After thinking about it, he still chose the safest answer.

"Alright, you can go back."

"Yes! The last will be retired. ”

After Li Zicheng left, Zhu Youzhen questioned Wang Chengen on the side, and learned that Zu Dabi was now being interrogated in Jinyiwei. So they brought him over.

"Zu Dabi! Do you know what treason is for collaborating with the enemy? ”

As soon as he looked at him, Zhu Youzhen asked in a slow voice. Zu Dabi's face looked a little pale, and it wasn't that he was scared by Jinyiwei.

"This! I don't know! ”

"According to the "Da Ming Law", those who fornicate with the enemy's country, secretly ally with the enemy, and betray the lord to seek glory are Ling Chi. Zu Dabi, have you seen Ling Chi? ”

Demon Museum

"The last will be wronged! The last general really did not fornicate with the enemy country and betrayed His Majesty! Zu Dabi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, calling out Qu. Damn, who said that Your Majesty has a good temper. When you come up, you have to call Ling Chi good-tempered?

"Really? Have you done that with the woman of the slave chief? ”

"This, the last general was forced to commit himself to the thief, lie down and taste the guts, and paralyze the slave chieftain, just so that he could escape back to Daming and continue to serve His Majesty."

This time it was Zhu Youzhen's turn to be surprised. This thing has thick eyebrows and big eyes, how to say beautiful things one by one.

"Is it a last resort? Still not in time? ”

"If my Ming army loses this battle, I'm afraid you have already taken your ancestral generals to Huang Taiji, right? Maybe you can still rebel against your big brother? Is what I said right or not? ”
