Chapter 491: Back to Qiongzhou, hear the good news
Qin Yun did not stay in Ryukyu for too long, firstly, there were still a lot of affairs waiting for him to deal with in Qiongzhou, and secondly, the current situation in Ryukyu was only suitable as a backup base.
In addition to being able to provide raw materials, it is not very useful, and it will take at least a year to restore people's livelihood.
Of course, the Ryukyus will inevitably be a bridgehead facing Fuso in the future.
Fusang's ambition to get involved in Great Xia has long been engraved in his bones, and this has to be guarded against.
Qin Yun estimated that the Tokugawa family would once again target the Tokugawa family after dealing with the civil strife.
Therefore, Qin Yun planned to build three military bases in the Ryukyus and form a Ryukyu naval division with a configuration of at least 10,000 people.
Each military base is equipped with an ironclad ship.
In fact, before coming to the Ryukyus, Lu Ban had already proposed a plan for the construction of a new generation of ironclad ships.
Compared with the current three small ironclad ships built for emergency purposes, the volume of the new generation of cruisers is comparable to the size of the Shenlong ship.
The fleet no longer has to worry about a lack of shells due to a small space to support a big battle.
The second is to prepare for the voyage function.
Don't look at the current Qiongzhou, casting gods, Tiangong, the three fleets are running fast, in fact, they are sprint champions, there is no place to put more shells, how much fuel can be put in?
This time out of the Ryukyus battle, a large ship had to follow behind to provide supplies.
Otherwise, the broken wooden ships of the Fuso fleet, and the three ironclad ships were designated for him to be destroyed.
Of course, this is also a helpless way, Qin Yun only took about two months from taking Broadleaf Island to subduing Chen Jin, and attacking Ryukyu.
What can you do in two months? There are not enough leeks in the field to grow a single stubble.
And with these three ships, it is already the rhythm that the Qiongzhou shipyard has worked hard to build.
Of course, there are big ships, and there are small boats.
According to the plan of the Ministry of Industry, there was a lack of some small steam speedboats near Qiongzhou for patrol and defense.
Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "I want everything!" Is this reckless madman obsessed? ”
Wang Muzhi said with a smile: "Lord Wang, he said that the cannon of the giant ship is the romance of the caster!" ”
Qin Yun: "Do you think this king doesn't want it?" You are the head of the household and the left minister, this king asked you, how much money do we have? ”
Wang Muzhi paused: "The deficit is 60 million taels!" ”
Qin Yun said angrily: "You also know that it is a deficit? Don't you have to pay back the money? Even if you don't have to pay it back, the people of Qiongzhou are not allowed to eat, dress and live? ”
Wang Muzhi smiled, he actually knew very well in his heart that the prince wanted these weapons more than anyone else.
He's trying to force him to make up his mind.
Wang Muzhi immediately listed the plan: "Lord Wang, according to Master Lu's design, the development and construction of this new generation of cruisers will require at least 30 million taels. However, the prince can also drive the local shipbuilding employment in Qiongzhou and provide jobs for many people. ”
"Today, we have delivered orders for the production of weapon parts to those people who are under the watchful eye of Jinyiwei to make them by hand."
"For example, the casing of a grenade, the copper bullet, and the butt of the gun, and so on."
"As long as the Vietnamese state has orders, the people will not worry about not being able to afford to eat."
Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Then the king asked you, what about after the war?" If you do this, the people will become dependent, and in the future, they will become a war machine, and sooner or later they will become militarism with a military-industrial complex. After beating Wu Guo, who will you fight? ”
Wang Muzhi said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the Central Plains Kyushu, Fusang, Nanyang countries, and Hongyi ......"
"This world is so big, it is not the king's land!"
Qin Yun was suddenly stunned, he remembered a paragraph from his previous life.
There are two factions in the people, one conservative and the other radical.
He boasted that he was radical enough, so he just wanted to play Ryukyu and do Xiaoyingzhou, and by the way, he would teach those Japanese people who had a good life a lesson.
Good fellow, a civil servant who presides over internal affairs, a household secretary who should have persuaded him not to work hard and lose money, a nominal conservative.
At the moment, it shows that I, a conservative, dislike you as a radical and not radical enough, right?
Qin Yun smiled and patted Wang Muzhi on the shoulder.
"You're right, but we can't bully others just because we can. I make money in Qiongzhou, and I have to stand to make money. ”
"For example, it's not too much to control the shipping lanes from Nanyang to Bactria and Fuso, and let them pay some transit taxes, right?"
"Another example is to invest in the Ocean Chamber of Commerce, provide them with armed protection, escort services, and collect some silver, isn't it too much?"
"There is also fresh water needed by the ocean, we can package and sell sugarcane wine that is not easy to spoil, as well as instant noodles, canned vegetables and fruits, these things can be made into an industry."
"We make guns, and we only build guns to protect these industries!"
Wang Muzhi nodded: "Understand, first apply benevolence and righteousness and then use force." ”
Qin Yun smiled: "That's the truth!" ”
Wang Muzhi said: "Lord Wang, before I came, there were a few Hongyi people who were in prison by me, and these people claimed to be missionaries and wanted to come to my Great Xia to spread the gospel. ”
"They also said that they could crown the prince as the second son of God!"
Qin Yun's face darkened: "Where is it?" ”
Wang Muzhi: "In the prison, I read the scriptures there with Lord Shen every day." ”
Qin Yun: "Okay, go back and clean up this group of red-haired ghosts." ”
Qin Yun suddenly thought of something: "Have you ever seen a blonde girl?" ”
Wang Mu paused: "The prince is talking about a woman with unusually fair skin, the kind of blue pupils?" ”
Qin Yun bowed slightly, not to mention, he had never really seen a Western face in his life.
I think when he was in old London, dealing with the group of MI5 girls who were known as Maozi's back garden.
It was a jolly day......
Qin Yun shook his head, there was still a group of people waiting for him in the family, what did he want?
But what Qin Yun didn't know was that Yang Yong on the side had already memorized it with a small notebook.
Blonde babies!
……
Three days later, the port of Qiongzhou.
When the people heard the news of the triumph, they spontaneously welcomed them.
Liuguanguan, Zhou Meiniang, Jiang Yingying stood on the port with affection.
Zhao Kun, as well as the Cast Iron Ridge, Iron Bear, Iron Bull, and Iron Touwa families were also at the scene.
"Lord Wang, congratulations on Triumph!"
Liu Pavilion stepped forward and saluted, and Qin Yun held her hand.
"These days, you have worked hard, is there a problem with the inner house?"
Liu Guanguan smiled: "Everything is in order!" It was Sister Jiang who hurt the joy. ”
Qin Yun was stunned, and then his eyebrows were overjoyed.
"When did it happen? Yingying came over and let the king take a look. ”
Jiang Yingying stepped forward a little shyly and said, "The concubine doesn't know either, Xu is mother-in-law's decoction has an effect. ”
Qin Yun held Jiang Yingying's hand, at this moment, his mood changed slightly, he used to have a feeling of playing the world, but now Jiang Yingying's belly is pregnant with a new life.
But what Qin Yun didn't know was that at the same time, in the cold tent of the distant north, in the land of wind and snow, Qi Hongye was already holding a big belly at this time.
Qi waited and complained about the fire on the side: "Sister, why don't you want to say that negative person? ”
Qi Hongye touched his belly, revealing the brilliance of motherhood on his face.
"This is a child given by Immortal Heaven, don't ask."
"Have those imperial uncles stopped recently?"
Qi waited and muttered: "This year's snow is much heavier than in previous years, and many cattle, sheep, people and animals have frozen to death. It is conceivable that the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe is under a lot of pressure from those imperial uncles. ”
Qi Hongye Dai frowned, Daqi is a country that has been naturalized from nomadism to farming.
There are two completely different political and military systems in China, and the contradictions and divisions are now so big that they are visible to the naked eye.
Several kings who originally belonged to the royal family now wear almost a pair of pants with the Sky Wolf Tribe.
Those kings proposed to let go of the Hexi Corridor and give the Heavenly Wolf Tribe a passage to the south to plunder, but Qi Hongye deeply understood that it was easy to lure wolves into the room, but it was difficult to drive wolves out of the circle.
Moreover, the city defense of Great Xia is strong, and there is the Great Wall to defend against the enemy, although the Northern Qi has been repairing it over the years, the conditions of the Northern Qi are much worse than those of Great Xia after all.
"Brother, father, you have to persuade a lot and open the way, who can guarantee that Daqi will not be invaded?"
Qi waited and said: "I said it and it doesn't count, and what my father means is that we will work together to attack summer next year!" ”
Qi Hongye sighed: "Daxia seems to be a stormy and dilapidated house, on weekdays, they fight inward, and even open the window, but once someone kicks a few feet, maybe a few big men will pop out inside." ”
"Back then, on the battlefield of wolf smoke, did I suffer less loss in Northern Qi? 400,000 sons and daughters are all hooked! ”
Qi and the others snorted coldly: "It is precisely because of this that Great Qi wants to take revenge, the White Army God is old, and there will never be a second White Army God in Great Xia!" ”
"Sister, you are so giving birth, I will come to see you every other time."
After saying that, Qi and the others turned around and lifted the fur curtain, took a spear and walked out against the wind and snow.
Qi Hongye shook her head, and she said to her stomach again: "Child, I'm ashamed of you!" Great Xia and Northern Qi are blood feuds that can never be resolved after all! ”
