At the end of the 41st year of Jiajing, the standing route from Fujian to Dayu Island was opened. A 1,500-ton iron-ribbed wooden hull ship set sail in Tong'an County and arrived at Jilong Port. The ship was named "Zhuge Zhi"
.
The Zhuge Zhi is powered by steam propellers. This ship has already crushed the maritime overlords of its time in terms of its power system.
This keel is steel from the 21st century, and the propeller packaging system is also 20th century craftsmanship. Of course, these modern industrial creations will be registered when they are used in this era, and they will be registered according to the register twenty years later.
Destroy them completely in turn, leaving no trace.
The hull has eliminated the heavy guns on both sides of the sail era, and instead uses a rotatable rifled gun mounted on the bow.
A Gatling gun with a clockwork structure is maintained at the stern and sides of the ship (hand-cranked too fast and can easily jam).
The naval guns on both sides of the sailing battleship weighed an average of 800 kilograms each, and weighed a full ton with the shells and combatants.
Carrying dozens of guns takes up more than 200 tons of tonnage, and the weight is still above the waterline. In order to maintain a stable center of gravity, the chassis must be equipped with ballast stones. In this way, the weight of the sailing battleship of 700 to 800 tons is almost consumed.
.
The Zhuge Zhi's cruising speed is eighteen knots, while the current sailing battleship's speed is ten knots. So even if it only has one gun, the advantage in speed cannot give a traditional battleship a chance to fire across it.
Moreover, the naval artillery shells used are brass shells carefully crafted on a lathe.
This is no longer described as a "several-pound gun", but as a caliber. The artillery has a caliber of 80 mm and a projectile of 35 kilograms. It adopts a breech loading mode and a "threaded gun gate", with a rate of fire per minute.
Three shots.
This is the level of Sino-Japanese War rapid-fire artillery, although there is only one. Well, this one is justice!
However, due to the restrictions of the "causal system", such a ship cannot participate in the naval battles along the East Asian coast at this time. It is just like the UFO flown by people in the future that came to the aerial battlefield of World War II. It can only maintain observation but cannot fire.
Zhuge Zhi is a merchant ship that transports more than 300 people at a time on Strait flights.
It's just that someone's "margin" requires one cannon, and the captain, first mate, and more than twenty people still have guns.
This large wave-breaking ship began to operate twice a day, four times a week, to transport people across the strait.
The people who disembarked from the ship at Jilong Port gathered quickly amidst the sound of whistles. The captain repeatedly issued orders to emphasize discipline. First, leggings must be well worn when crossing the grass, otherwise snakes, rats, ants, and ants will cause sores, which may lead to amputation. Second: Drinking raw food is strictly prohibited.
Water, diseases enter from the mouth, and miasma is hidden in the water...
After getting off the boat, rows of people began to repeat these precautions, carrying bags in twos and threes, and moved forward according to the path with small flags placed every 100 meters.
Each small flag has a six-digit code on it. When the militiamen patrolling the road discover the situation, they can accurately send people to report the accident section.
The leaders of the immigration team followed the map and took people to the marked reclamation camps for accommodation.
At present, this area is called Jilonggang, and there are 60 wooden fenced reclamation camps nearby.
…The forces of time and space now have no shortage of agricultural labor in the Ming Dynasty.…
Cultivated land has always been scarce in southern Fujian. Over the past six months, groups of young men have come to seek refuge in Waudao when they heard that food was beginning to be available.
The transaction price negotiated by the time traveler at the Wudao office with the local people is "bring one person and give one tael of silver. There must be no disability. If it is a complete family with children and the elderly, the price can be paid according to the Qing Dynasty on this basis."
The price comes in the prime of life.”
Wei Keng: “Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.”
Therefore, due to the greed of human nature, those merchants who were not qualified to travel to the sea went to a whole village to bring people to a fixed place, and both their people and their wealth were cleared.
After receiving these people, the pioneer team made meals on the spot and gave these people who were looking for a living a meal to regain their composure, and then entered the public bathhouse to take a bath.
After five hours, everyone is asked to defecate once in the public toilet of the guest house, and the whole body is covered with disinfectant water. Old men and women are separated. Children and old people are boarded separately. (Note: After this kind of meal, wait five hours before boarding the ship. This
This is the experience gained from cleaning up seasick vomit on the ship many times before.)
There are quite a few people with sneaky looks among them.
These guys observed the big ship when they got on board, and whispered to each other after getting off the ship.
Of course, their whispering is against discipline. Those stewards selected by the previous wave of immigrants are now very proud to wear the red "management" armbands. When they see these new immigrants who ignore their official authority, they will not hesitate to use sticks.
call.
Later, these recordkeepers who learned to read also recorded the names of these people.
As long as you learn 200 words in the Kentuo Club and know how to use calculations, you can get an additional salary of 100 cents per month.
...well-organized and highly resistant to low-end penetration of this feudal system...
The more than a thousand travelers who have come to this time and space are all men. In the Ming Dynasty, they were considered "heroes" who needed to be physically strong and capable.
The time travelers formed a group, issued orders to the surrounding natives every day, transmitted knowledge, and instilled an amount of information that far exceeded any team in this era.
Therefore, even if Wei Keng knew that various forces were quietly sneaking in, he was not worried. Wei Keng said: "As long as you reach my territory, it is not up to you whether you can act freely or not, and whether you can think freely or not is not up to you."
For the initial training of the camp, please refer to the information bombing mode of the MLM cave in modern times.
This kind of super-era thing is like a spiritual Maxim against the people of Ming Dynasty.
That's right, when Mr. Wei recruited people, he thought of pirates and spies from other maritime forces! Passively guard against them? That's too stupid. It's normal to use the mental "heavy machine gun" to harvest them.
Within thirty days, the minds of those infiltrators with calluses on their fists and feet were filled with "team building".
These natives of the Ming Dynasty were indoctrinated by the time-travelers' brainwashing words of "new future" and "a good man must have great achievements". No matter how loyal they were to their original masters, they began to ask themselves whether they should change camps and engage in "real manhood".
Things like "Look at the world".
In the 21st century, in the "MLM Demon's Cave", those who can describe "eating chaffy vegetables" as a "test before success".
What's more, there are future time and space forces with multiple capitals in technology, real estate, and business channels.
The time traveler's reclamation meeting on Dayuan can really give the landless people a chance to reclaim land safely, especially after disembarking. Those spies originally thought that more than half of the reclamation team would be killed or injured by factors such as "malaria" and "miasma", but they ended up with their own stomachs.
After being saved by "artemisinin" and survived, they all had to start to be in awe of the "immortals" mentioned by the Kentuo team.
At this time, the Time and Space Legion chose to suddenly launch a large-scale cross-sea immigration, taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban in Fujian.
Ten years ago, Zhu Wan strictly banned the sea, which caused "popular resentment" to boil over. He was eventually impeached and committed suicide in the 29th year of Jiajing.
Now no one in the court has banned the sea. The sea is now lawless. All kinds of pirates have emerged.
These pirates are usually fishermen, but they will be murderous when they find an opportunity.
Therefore, ninety-nine percent of the people who went to Wu Island were unruly people, and there were not many good family members.
Wei Keng was very tolerant: "It's okay to be unruly, but I don't want them if they're not rebellious! If we want to compete with other colonists for territory in the future, we need such talents. Armed with a unified goal, we can rob other countries."
When they arrived at Wu Island, they were divided into teams of ten people, changed their clothes, and started to repair the canals with the superiors. After repairing the canals during the day, they learned to read under the light of "carbide lamp" at night. They worked for ten days every day.
, one afternoon, I started playing Cuju to vent my energy.
Both learning and training are ranked and updated on the blackboard every day.
Food, clothing, and salary are all based on ranking, and treatment is also based on order.
In the management of market-exploiting companies: everyone in the team needs to focus on the ranking of their own team. (The management of technology-accumulating companies is another type, such as the craftsmanship association.
Ranking.)
The chiefs of the Association allocated 80% of their time and energy, leaving them with 20% of their time. They still had energy and were still engaged in involution.
As for if someone can win the lottery like this, then of course he should be promoted and arrange for further training at the officer academy, and then serve as a centurion officer while studying in school.
There is a strict hierarchical system in the army of the Kentuo Society. When subordinates see their superiors, they must fist and palm each other (equivalent to a salute).
As time went on, the gangsters originally came to the island to "step on the spot".
After a few dozen days, they suddenly began to distrust each other and rushed to betray their teammates, hoping to completely join the ship of this new maritime power.
Wei Keng’s comment: It’s like a minor playing online games. He’s so focused on ranking, his team, and his parents that he keeps talking nonsense. What’s more, he’s a cold-natured guy.
...As a veteran time traveler, the farming development route is to eliminate all kinds of mistakes with the least resistance...
The resource management model of the industrial era developed in the base area in the late Ming Dynasty, and its growth rate was explosive.
In the 42nd year of the Jiajing reign, more than a dozen settlements with a population of 3,000 to 5,000 people were formed here on Dayuang Island and the mouth of the Tamsui River, which were continuously transported by steam ships.
Baodao has a subtropical marine climate, and the island's water system is still very developed, with a large number of lakes.
In the eyes of Wei Keng's water control experts, these lakes with different contours are the key to water storage for farming.
No matter how abundant the water system is, reasonable water conservancy projects must be implemented to ensure reclamation.
Wei Keng flipped through his Pandora Plane memo: In a feudal dynasty like China, water conservancy engineering talents are undoubtedly the top core talents. Most of these talents are concentrated in the rich areas of the Central Plains of Jiangnan. To ensure that the Huaihe and Yellow River basin water systems do not flood, and
Mulberry fields are irrigated, and they rarely reach the border areas.
This is equivalent to the early 21st century, when engineers from the top chips, aerospace and other high-profit industries fled to the United States, making it difficult for other countries to catch up.
Wei Keng somehow understood why there was no overseas farming in the late Ming Dynasty, but Westerners with strong commerce expanded their colonies! Because the farming model could not be developed overseas.
In the era of the Chinese dynasty, the training of "water conservancy experts" required at least thirty years of study. After completing the studies, they were already old. If they moved overseas and encountered epidemics, it would be wasted.
Wei Keng's spatio-temporal team's geological surveying and water conservancy planning team's level on contours exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty's essence area.
With the support of the water conservancy system, the organization of the reclamation team is far better than that of plantation agriculture, because the upstream and downstream water needs to be coordinated and allocated. Even if there is a large organization to allocate dozens of villages to hundreds of villages, this is not the case in the Ming Dynasty.
Regions are reflected in the distribution of corvee by the government.
And this kind of manpower mobilization structure can also be used in the military!
This is why the Chinese peasant uprisings were one dimension more destructive than those in Europe. Two hundred years later, Lanfang in the south could be wiped out so easily because the so-called Chinese families did not form the "water conservancy model" of the Han Dynasty.
Wei Keng determined that in the Age of Discovery, if China, a nation with a strong agrarian mindset, wanted to expand overseas, among many factors such as large sailing ships and official appointments, the most "chip-level" factor was water conservancy. Water conservancy was the basis.
The axis-spread agricultural planting system can almost be directly connected to the inner soil based on the economic and cultural basis.
As a result, in the 42nd year of Jiajing, the water conservancy project on the "Dayuan" island began.
With the operation of steam engines, dozens of dams were formed to fill the intended water storage lake.
A large amount of cobblestones were transported by steel ball bearing carriages, and at the construction site, workers filled bamboo frames with cobblestones, thus forming a solid embankment. As the water level of the lake enclosed by the embankment increased significantly,
The surrounding large areas of planned farmland can be supplied with water through irrigation regardless of drought or flood weather. This is not at the same level as the plantation economy.
After the completion of the project, what was still a wasteland a year ago has suddenly turned into a Jiangnan water town.
Originally thought to be immigrants from Fujian and Zhejiang who were distributed, when they were harvesting rice fields and dividing grain, they immediately shouted: "Gods."
Instead of thanking God, these fishermen who got the soil regarded those "travelers from the Ministry of Heaven and Engineering" with rulers and optical measuring instruments as stars descending to earth.
Wei Keng took the opportunity to expand the Socialist Party, and each new native was given a badge with the "grain ear and loess symbol".
In Chinese, the word "Sheji" means "earth", and "Valley" is sacred and inviolable.
After the first round of harvest, probably after this round of grain distribution, those unscrupulous people who had just joined the league and wanted to work hard and hide in the mountains to become "strong men" also began to lose their minds.
, and began to focus on the "Kento Club". Even if he still thought about holding a knife, the blade would be facing outward.
In the production team of the No. 3 Kentuo Group.
A dark-skinned man squatted on the side of the millet field. In front of him were tall piles of grain and the lively grain distribution scene.
This strong man looked at the harvest, his expression was the same as that of an ordinary farmer, but at least a year ago he still had triangular eyes, often with a fierce look in his eyes. When he met someone who touched him, he would immediately wave his fist. But now he has become polite.
He tries to be as gentle as possible when talking to people in the production team. His name is Liu San.
Next to him, there were five men. They were in the production team next door. It was a busy day so they could find time to get together.
He knocked on his dry pipe: I haven’t seen you guys for a long time.
The bearded man next door hummed: "Brother, I will get married next month. My wife is from the mountains." (Da Yuan Island's birthday)
Liu San stared at him and took a look, but the bearded man was very nervous, because he was prepared to feel at ease by marrying a wife here.
Liu San took out a puff of cigarette and nodded, and then said: "You are old enough, it's time to do this."
When Liu San expressed his attitude, these former juniors breathed a sigh of relief.
And another person asked: "Brother, what does the host say?"
Liu San looked at the grain pile in the distance and said: "Everyone, live a good life. I will tell you about my family. I don't think my family will let us go against the gods here."
In the blood memory of the Han people, if the land can be made prosperous, then the royal way cannot be resisted.
…On Damuan Island, in addition to pirates, there are also Jin Yiwei…
After the grain was put into storage, a wave of pots, pans, clothes and needlework were sold at the market. After a wave of grain was collected.
The Gentuo Association has also distributed a wave of benefits such as "meat", "rice" and "sugar" to the military and industrial zones.
In the newly established staff department, these knowledgeable officers who had just met a few words began to buzz around like bees after sugar, asking the superior officers of the Association.
The Reclamation and Development Association organized forums such as "Baotang" in the countryside. Young adults who had just mastered Chinese characters and could only read newspapers began to be enthusiastic about discussing state affairs.
"Cleaning up other forces at sea" has become a hot topic.
Although no one dares to say that they will imitate "Wang Zhi" and establish themselves as King Hui, some people who were formerly pirates now want to use the gods who turned wasteland into fertile land to erect a "Juyi Hall" in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.
The big flag.
[Note: Wang Zhi is not from the coast, just like Bao Zheng is not from Kaifeng. His hometown is Huizhou, he belongs to Huizhou merchants, and he is a fellow villager with Hu Zongxian.]
The ultimate pursuit of life for people who drifted across the seas of Fujian and Zhejiang is to "return fallen leaves to their roots", to have a stable hometown to bury them in, and to have children multiply.
These pirates also have an account in their hearts. The windfall gained from robbing money is only temporary. Once they get old and weak, it will belong to others.
Although the money given by the Kentuo Society is not much, the ability to manage the land allows these people who were previously pirates to see that they can be content when they are old. And once they have hope, they will not pursue swords.
After licking the blood from his head, he vented his insane pleasure.
After the autumn harvest, the Time Travel Team, the Reclamation Association, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Transportation and other organizations began to discuss the issue of the "tax system" - how to determine taxes, how to collect taxes, the cost of collecting taxes, and
The supervision of each link was institutionalized. At this meeting, Wei Keng was determined and selected some indigenous scholars from this time and space to participate in the meeting and record the minutes. An archive began to be formed.
Wei Keng looked at the Ming Dynasty costume publishers writing furiously: Localization has begun.
Since the entire Taiyuan Island is closed, external transportation is through the port. As long as it is stuck at the port customs, it is impossible for the grain to be quietly transported away by the future "rich families" after the harvest. And ordinary small farmers who need industrial products will inevitably use their surplus grain.
commodity economy.
Therefore, there is no need for a "grain collection system", but a "grain purchase" tax collection system is adopted. (This is how Guan Zhong played)
Three months after the autumn harvest, there were no tax collectors going around to collect grain. Instead, they brought the standard documents for "building warehouses", collected the statistical tables of materials required for building warehouses and road construction from each settlement, and went to each settlement to find people to discuss.
At this business meeting, the village elders in the settlement obviously did not have the ability to handle the "doodle and write" record work. Those in the village who were in the countryside during their leisure time laughed at some young men who "wanted to take the scholar examination", and this began to happen.
Afterwards, he became the "security chief", and the grassroots rule of the Kentuo Association began to be quietly established here.
From the perspective of the harvest people on Taiyuan Island, what they saw was that the official was directly exempted from rent and tax. They couldn't believe it at first. But various production teams really started to build public warehouses without any collection from above, and they all praised Taiyuan Island.
"Kentuo Society" benevolence and righteousness.
Exemption of farmland from taxes is equivalent to "Shang Yang's growing trees". Although farming does not mean getting rich, it does give everyone a smooth retreat.
Those young men who were dragged to the island a year ago and have been instilled with "big ambitions" have now had their last line of defense crushed.
The young people on these islands who have undergone preliminary military training think: Since they have no worries, they should become bigger and stronger now.
Those who have been taught to read coastal maps are already aiming at the Zhuming coastline. At the same time, they are beginning to combine the plot of "Water Margin" mentioned by the island's storytelling masters and imagine whether they can make a fuss and win an official position.
Narrator: Just like middle school students in the early 21st century who read novels will be introduced to YY, novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties also provide various imaginations to people who have just begun to read.
Wei Keng, who was observing from the sidelines, was certain that the Ming Dynasty was still orthodox in everyone's minds at the moment, and only those who were hungry would rebel. The current strategy is that you can support your own troops, but you cannot rebel.
When the unscrupulous people returned to their hearts, they now began to show their fanatical allegiance to the Qintuo Society.
After the first round of officer training, these soldiers recruited from this time and space line can fight for their side even without being "tied to a rope".
In the autumn of the forty-third year of Jiajing, savages plundered the upper reaches of Tamsui River.
These savages only slightly destroyed a small amount of farmland, but they made the new recruits who were idle and panicking excited.
And it happened that this Ming soldier heard from the military instructors the passionate plot of "The Imperial Twins" adapted from the deeds of "Wei Qing and Huo Qubing". He was recalling the idea of "riding the world on horseback", and those natives were in trouble.
The new regiment burst out with supreme fighting power, carrying three days of dry food and carrying bayonets up the mountain to annihilate them.
If the Discipline Department of the Time and Space Regiment hadn't arrived in time with the military police, this group of top soldiers would have been ready to kill the mountain people tribe with a high altitude.
Wei Keng murmured: Hey, listening to books is too involving.
Not only was the Army of the Socialist Party going crazy, but the newly established Navy was also going crazy.
In October, the communication line between Da Yuan Island and Wu Island in Shejihui was robbed by other pirates. This gave the children who were practicing gunnery skills at sea and were forced by discipline to wipe the deck every day a channel to vent their anger.
After the navy driving the clipper ship caught up, even if they recognized the fellow countrymen on the other side, they first used long-barreled guns to sink the ship, and then fished out the people.
The steel hexagonal inner-diameter artillery fires cylindrical armor-piercing projectiles with an effective range of up to two kilometers. This is absolutely crushing in naval battles. The ball shells of those lucky ships were simply out of reach, so they were defeated by the superb "water-drifting projectile" cannons.
The French penetrated the waterline.
And a few dozen days later, the navy was about to recruit people. These Shejihui local naval officers recruited, they came to the prisoner of war camp with canned gift bags with smiles, and persuaded these "fellow fellows" who had been shot down with cannons a few months ago to join the army.
, join your own fleet sequence.
In the late Jiajing period, coastal rebellions could gather hundreds of thousands of people. This shows that there was a large amount of surplus manpower in the Ming Dynasty at this time.
The Kentuo Association also gathered more than 300,000 people within two years. The amount of instant noodles supported by Hypertime had to be increased to 10,000 tons. Narrator, these instant noodle bags are all made of degradable materials.
There are also all kinds of crude primitive machinery outside. After all, it is the Ming Dynasty, so we have to consider the cause and effect. Those lathes and looms can only be seen in museums.
Traditional industry has begun to take shape in Wuzhou. A large amount of jute is processed into cloth (linen cloth worn with linen and mourning), and the textile industry begins to emerge.
It is worth mentioning that people in the Ming Dynasty cannot consume cotton cloth now. The "Ministry of Commerce" personally controlled by Wei Keng, after inspecting the clothes of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, decided not to start with cotton cloth for the current industrial textile industry.
In oriental textbooks in modern times, middle school and high school students saw that the small-scale peasant economy resisted British cotton dumping after the industrial revolution. They thought it was because the small-scale peasant economy was stubborn. But in fact, this is equivalent to the experts in modern times who did not understand why young people did not buy cotton.
The "stubborn" guy in the suite, why doesn't he like to wear leather shoes costing thousands of dollars?
In the Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth was a luxury product, and only landlords had the financial resources to wear it. Many families in Yandu had to redeem cotton clothes from pawn shops every winter.
If you ask ordinary people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties to consume cotton, it is equivalent to asking the young people of the 21st century to consume "Haagen-Dazs" every day.
Nowadays, when there are no specialized cotton producing areas, linen is the mainstream consumer product for "clothing" in the early days of the industrial revolution.
Harvest the hemp stalks - dry the hemp stalks - soak the hemp stalks - peel the hemp skin - dry the hemp skin - tear the hemp thread - rub the hemp thread by hand - soak the hemp thread in water - machine wind the twine ball - wrap the twine around the I-frame - dry in the sun - add stove ashes to cook the twine - scrub
Mechanized large-scale production is accompanied by disciplined management to improve efficiency and reduce production accidents.
For example, everyone must wear a helmet at this time, even if it is extremely hot. Because once the hair is caught by the machine, there will be a scene where people are entangled into the machine.
In the textile factory on Da Yuan Island, there is a knife placed near each machine, just to cut off the hair and clothes that get mixed up at critical moments. - As for shaving hair, Wei Keng and the time and space administrator discussed it again and again, but still did not make it.
contradiction.
As for the inability to compromise in the event of an accident, discipline requires that if production safety is not observed, the hair should be cut directly into a buzz cut to serve as a warning to others.
The material is linen, which is equivalent to the hard cloth of jeans. After many changes, it finally became an American cowboy style. I can only say that "pragmatism" is the truth.
When Mr. Wei tried it on, he found that it was very unfriendly to the crotch. Even though the design was changed to early jeans with wide legs (the legs of early American denim pants were all tied), it still rubbed the crotch.
Wei Keng: It is best to wear a cotton undershirt and boxer briefs. (Unknowingly, on the practical route, it is closer to modern clothing.)
So they began to distribute "local cotton" to make sweatshirts and boxer briefs. The opponent's outfit was matched with slippers, which were similar to those worn in the south in the 21st century. The time travelers took the lead in wearing them.
Wei Keng and his subordinates had the same desire, but they were wearing T-shirts and slippers. The natives of the Ming Dynasty thought that these immortals from the sea were really thin-skinned and tender-bodied, born into noble families.
…Year after year, news at sea spreads like crazy…
At present, as more and more information is being sent out by the eyes of various forces, the southeastern coastal government and various Jianghu forces are all speculating on the origins of the top few people in the "Kento Club". There are all kinds of wild guesses.
Outrageous claims are rampant, such as "after Jianwen"...
In the southeast, state capitals with grain production no less than those in Suzhou and Hangzhou appeared, which alarmed some knowledgeable bureaucrats in the southeast.
You know, when Xixia occupied the area that could be planted in Hetao, it lasted until the Northern Song Dynasty turned into the Southern Song Dynasty.
When more and more Hokkien people gathered to go to sea following the "Gentuo Meeting", the Quanzhou Governor's Yamen had already learned the secret report.
Lu Yipeng, the official envoy of the Proclamation, was in the Yamen, holding a pair of Western glasses in his hand. The spy who was watching sent a report with fine print, concluding that "this group of unscrupulous people gathered in the sea."
