"A ship powered by an [Iron Horse] and dozens or hundreds of guns is needed to become a mobile battery at sea, and it can partially ignore the wind conditions."

"Powerful mobility and firepower, like the Mongol rangers at sea, can turn the enemy's mobile forces on land around at any time, and then tear apart the coastal defense line of any country."

"And once the landing ground is obtained, the convoy will be loaded with a large number of infantry legions armed with cuirasses and flintlock guns and bayonets, and will be pointed like a sharp arrow at the enemy's important cities. At this time, the enemy's main mobile corps was still far behind, marching on the land. ”

Jiang Xinghuo sighed and said.

"Your Majesty, this is the war of the next era."

When Zhu Di heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.

As a super-first-class military genius, Zhu Di easily understood the essence of this naval tactic from Jiang Xinghuo's words. Indeed, it is very similar to the tactics of the Mongols, first using super high mobility to pull, and then killing with a single blow.

The Mongols' tactics were devastating because they did not rush to defeat the enemy in the first place, but chose to constantly harass them with long-range means such as bows and arrows, and once the enemy attacked, they quickly withdrew, gathered at a distance, and did not use heavy cavalry to launch a decisive attack until the enemy's formation was completely pulled apart or exhausted.

In the naval tactics of the Westerners, the gunboats are compared to the Mongol light cavalry, and the transport ships loaded with the firecracker regiment are compared to the heavy cavalry of the Mongols, then it is equivalent to using the gunboat fleet as a light cavalry to pull the enemy first, and when the enemy is tired of running and revealing a flaw, then use the heavy cavalry of the firecracker regiment to land and give a fatal blow.

"Not bad! I'm also looking forward to what kind of shock such a fleet can bring to the enemy country? Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

"But the premise is that the [Iron Horse] and the improved artillery and firecrackers must be placed in front of my eyes, and I must see with my own eyes whether their performance can really promote a new round of military reform and form."

"Generation difference." Jiang Xinghuo added.

"But Your Majesty must know that all this, whether it is iron horses, artillery, or firearms, all originate from industry, especially the heavy industry system, and Yinggelan vigorously developed heavy industry after the saturation of light industry, and only then did it become an empire that never sets on colonizing the world by relying on fleets and elite firecracker legions."

"Industry is independent of traditional handicraft, in the process of processing raw materials to produce industrial products, people can control all factors through machines, everything is designed, there are strict operating procedures and production standards, just need to do this, you will be able to produce standardized guns and artillery and even [iron horses]."

"The craftsmen of the War Bureau are still engaged in handicrafts, and the real industry is driven by machines, not people."

"People make mistakes, but machines make almost no mistakes."

The relatively understandable and intuitive innovation of the military industry made Zhu Di fall into contemplation.

This is the so-called "right medicine".

It is far better to tell Zhu Di how many people the textile industry in the light industry can absorb, how many jobs to create, and how much to sell, it is far better to tell him how many epoch-making weapons that heavy industry can manufacture for the Ming Dynasty in batches, and how to help him make the Ming Dynasty more martial and virtuous.

Separated by a wall before, Zhu Di couldn't deeply understand what was going on in industry.

But he now understood.

Industry, which can make more advanced weapons!

Industry can make Daming prestige in the world!

Industry can make him the greatest emperor of all time!

Compared with the previous agricultural production model, it was only about growing food and feeding the population, and then through the increase in population base and food production, a larger army was formed.

But in the industrial age, the logic changed completely.

The internal circulation of agriculture is no longer dominant.

On the contrary, the global external circulation expands the scale of exchange, and only needs to produce industrial goods, sell them to obtain interest rate differentials, and the Ming Dynasty will become richer and richer.

On the question of "how to sell", if the other party does not cooperate, it is necessary to use the army of the Ming Dynasty to make a small epoch-making blow.

Zhu Di looked at the winter sky hanging high in the sky, and a sense of heroism emerged in his heart.

"The sun does not set in the empire, and Ying Gelan does it, I can't do it?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at Zhu Di quietly.

What exactly should be done to become a real empire on which the sun never sets, Jiang Xinghuo has completely told Zhu Di in the lectures just now and in the past.

Then there is only the specific question of developing industry.

Zhu Di gave Jiang Xinghuo a rough explanation of "Eight Strategies for Law Change" and his intention to use the north and south Zhili as two law change test fields.

"So, Mr. Jiang thinks, how should Daming develop industry and how to promote change?"

Zhu Di's eyes stared at Jiang Xinghuo.

At this moment, Zhu Di's self-feeling seems to be Liu Bei in front of the thatched house, and Yuwentai next to the Kunming pool.

I can't wait to say on the spot, "Mr. I meet, like a dragon getting a cloud, like a fish in water, from then on, he broke the jade cage and flew into the wind, and suddenly opened the golden lock and walked away from the dragon." ”

This is the rhythm of "Prison Pair".

Although Jiang Xinghuo didn't plan to play with Zhu Di as a master and a virtuous minister, it was finally time for the two sides to make a decision.

Zhu Di has already shown an obvious determination to carry out reforms.

This is obviously the result of Jiang Xinghuo's lectures day after day.

And Jiang Xinghuo's ultimate goal is also to try to use his own strength to completely change the direction of history.

So on a certain level, the goals of Jiang Xinghuo and Zhu Di are the same.

All in order to enhance the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Di is to complete his deeds of surpassing the ancients.

Jiang Xinghuo is to save the future of Huaxia being bullied by Westerners.

But until we know if we're going to part ways, it's always time to work together.

Without the support of Zhu Di's imperial power, Jiang Xinghuo would not be able to innovate the Ming Dynasty, on the other hand, without Jiang Xinghuo's theoretical guidance, Zhu Di would also be in a state where wild boars eat hedgehogs and have no way to say anything about how to achieve industrialization.

"My opinion on the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty is mainly the following two points."

Jiang Xinghuo said: "The first point is that in the distribution planning of light and heavy industries, it is necessary to be forward-looking, which is a matter that determines the future industrial layout. ”

Zhu Di said loudly: "I also have an idea about this, I don't know if it is the same as what Mr. Jiang thinks?" ”

"Your Majesty might as well say it."

"Let's write it out with Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xinghuo was stunned, and always felt that this plot was a little familiar.

But it didn't get in the way at the moment, Jiang Xinghuo simply picked up the half of the branch and wrote on the ground.

The two of them wrote separately, stood up and looked at it, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.

-- Light industry in the south and heavy industry in the north.

"It's still the same way."

Jiang Xinghuo's heart silently thought that this time, the two had different starting points, but the results were the same.

The distribution of light and heavy industries that Zhu Di considered must be because the heavy industry that can manufacture advanced weapons needs to be placed in his northern nest so that he can feel at ease, and the light industry that can divide and disintegrate the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River is placed in places where there are many people in the south and there is little land, which is more conducive to his rule.

Jiang Xinghuo is completely based on the conditions of manufacturing factors, after all, there is experience in previous lives for reference.

Heavy industry, first, needs coal, and second, iron ore.

The Ruhr area of Germany in the past is a typical example.

For Daming, it is not that there are no coal and iron resources in the south, and if it is only to pursue the initial development of heavy industry, it is enough, but as Jiang Xinghuo just said, this kind of thing, once decided, will not be easy to make a big move in the future.

Heavy industry, naturally placed in the north, where coal and iron resources are incomparably abundant, is more suitable.

In the north, Shanxi's high-quality coal, if transported by new roads, can be transported directly to Tianjin Wei by boat through the Hutuo River waterway in Zhendingfu after coming out of Jingcheng Road.

At this time, the Beizhili water system, and the previous life is still slightly different, from the Xuanfu Chaigou Fort convergence of the Xiyang River, Dongyang River, will form the northwest-southeast Yanghe River water system, in the Lugou Bridge divergence, the formation of the Yanghe River and the Lugou River, and finally converge in the triangle lake in the northwest of Tianjin, through the Weihe River into the sea.

This is equivalent to the fact that the coal that arrives in Tianjin Wei by the Hutuo River waterway can continue to take the waterway to Beijing, and the water transportation conditions in Beizhili are relatively complete.

The iron ore in Liaodong can also go to the Bohai Sea, reach Tianjinwei, and then use the same method to enter Beijing.

"The second point is that I think that there is no problem in the north and south of the country, as two large experimental fields, and the north and south can take the lead in implementing institutional innovation. But industrialization, i.e. the development of light and heavy industry, also requires two small experimental fields. Jiang Xinghuo said slowly.

That is to say, for example, the entry of the mu into the mu, the examination method, the reform of the imperial examination, and so on, are all institutional matters, which can be carried out in the 18 prefectures of the north and south of the country, and they are carried out in unison and synchronously.

However, industrialization cannot be carried out simultaneously in large experimental fields, and two small experimental fields must be selected, one for light industry and the other for heavy industry.

"So Mr. Jiang thinks how to choose these two small experimental fields?" Zhu Di's eyes were deep.

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo raised this question, Zhu Di already had some considerations in his heart, but he still wanted to hear whether Jiang Xinghuo's thinking was consistent with him.

"In Nanzhili, the best place to carry out the experimental field of light industry."

"It's Matsue Mansion!" Jiang Xinghuo said categorically.

Hearing this answer, Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction.

A few months ago, Zhu Di personally led the army and went deep into the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the customs there.
