On February 15th, Tianjin Port had been officially opened to sea for several days, and the capital finally received the exact news about the various battlefields.
"Your Majesty, the Liaonan battlefield has liberated Fuzhou and Gaizhou, and annihilated more than 20,000 enemies of the Azig regiment, plus the over 10,000 soldiers previously consumed on the Jinzhou defense line. From the end of last winter to this spring, the losses were
There are close to 40,000 soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of civilians have died in the battle, which can be said to have severely damaged their vitality. In addition, the navy has also contacted the cavalry division that raided the hinterland of Liaodong at the mouth of Daling River, and is now supporting them to return to Tianjin." Huang Degong has adapted very well.
His identity was revealed, and the military intelligence report was done in a orderly manner, which seemed to be the case.
"Liu Yuanbin and the others moved very quickly, and the results they achieved are quite gratifying. After Ma You forgives them for withdrawing, there will probably be a big tug-of-war in southern Liaoning. Give them the order to respond calmly and not be impatient.
There will be no peace in southern Liaoning this year, and the situation will be completely in my favor if we survive this year."
"There are currently four divisions in southern Liaoning, with a total of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses! No matter what moves the captors make, our army will be able to easily deal with it. Now it seems that the restoration of Liao is just around the corner." Zhou Yanru, who came over to listen to the military affairs, judged the situation more clearly.
To be optimistic, I pull my beard and blow hard.
Judging from the current military feedback, the strategic layout of suppressing the Manchu and Qing Dynasties on both wings has been effective. From now on, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will no longer be able to harass Beizhili unless they can completely eliminate the Ming armies in southern Liaoning and Daning. However,
At present, the Ming Dynasty is unable to push the battle line forward. Zhu Youjian feels that the situation between the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the second and second years of the Ming Dynasty should turn into a strategic confrontation. After Daning and Liaonan are digested, he will consider the overall recovery of Liaodong.
thing.
Since Liaodong is about to enter a period of peace, it is now necessary to consider the strategic layout within the pass. After staring at the map for a long time, Zhu Youjian found that he did not want to regain any land in the Ming Dynasty. Looking at it all seemed like a burden.
.
"Everyone, the battle outside the pass will be mainly a tug-of-war this year and next. So in the inner territory, in which direction should we push?" Since I am hesitant, I will push the ball to the people below to see what they think.
.
Before the people in the military command hall could speak, Zhou Yanru took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, although it is urgent to rectify the internal affairs, I feel that it is better to take things slowly. This year, we will focus on increasing the number of troops and training them first, and then wait.
When we have more troops and horses, we can use our strength to sweep through the entire city."
Increase the number of troops and focus on training them? From what the old boy said, it seems that he doesn't have much energy to use troops internally.
Zhou Yanru's mentality has really changed since this year. In the past, he was obsessed with restoring peace to the world. What kind of power does it mean to be the first assistant in a province? It's hard to say, but it's hard to say that in another province.
After all, financial resources are limited and the momentum cannot last long. But now his vision has changed. Who said that a province with limited financial resources cannot last long? It is obvious that the court has much more money than before. In the past, he worried about money every day, but now he feels that money
The problems are all trivial. The territory is small, but there is more money to use. How can this be justified? In addition to money matters, the military achievements have completely ruined Lao San's outlook. In the past, when all the efforts of the whole country were gathered, they were still
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties suppressed and attacked, and they could only secure a province. However, the imperial court was now suppressing the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to fight. It was done here and there, and the territory was too large, but it was completely useless!
Since the land is so big that it is useless, then why not manage the current one-third of an acre? Why rush to take over other messes? Zhou Yanru increasingly feels that except for Beizhili, the rest of the country is lagging behind.
If you can pick up the mess a day later, it is better to wait a little later. After all, the national affairs have improved, but what if you are dragged back by the mess and go back to the past?
In terms of inner thoughts, Zhou Yanru and Zhu Youjian, the monarch and his ministers, have surprisingly the same thoughts at this moment. Neither of them wants to fight anymore, and they both want to manage the three-acre area of Beizhili first!
The emperor and the chief minister no longer wanted to fight, and the people below were too weak to send out envoys, so the military discussion that day did not come to a result after a long time. Zhu Youjian finally announced that internal military affairs would not be discussed until the second half of the year. For now, it will be
Eyes and attention are focused on Daning and Liaonan!
Not rushing to resolve the internal chaos does not mean that he can be completely at peace. Zhu Youjian himself also understands that the internal affairs will be resolved sooner or later, and there is no way to hide. Since there is no external use of troops at the moment, then we have to fight in Beizhili
Strengthen your body and strengthen your foundation instead of doing nothing.
How to effectively strengthen the body and strengthen the foundation? After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youjian felt that in addition to infrastructure construction, the most important thing was to improve the level of industry. After traveling through the past few years, it seemed that he had built a lot of new things. In fact, in terms of industry
There has been no epoch-making progress in the level of production, especially the improvement in the level of mechanical manufacturing. The current accumulation of technology is not enough to promote a real industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty.
Only when it truly enters the rhythm of the Industrial Revolution will Ming Dynasty move towards ZTE unstoppably.
It has been a long time since I paid attention to the craftsmen in the Meishan Engineering Bureau. In order to rejuvenate the country through technology and industry, after the Military Council, Zhu Youjian hurried to the Meishan Engineering Bureau to inspect.
Is there any new progress over there recently? By the way, I will also assign them some new tasks.
Song Yingxing has recently been mastering the production technology of new explosives and ignition in the Miyun factory area. There are only a few craftsmen left in Meishan's Tiangong Bureau. These people saw that Long live the Lord, whom they had not seen for a long time, came to Xishan again, and hurriedly gathered around to show their hospitality.
, fight for projects for yourself.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest nail sewing machine made by our Tiangong Bureau Machinery Department. I originally planned to deliver it to you in the palace in the next few days. Now that your Majesty is here, you can give us some suggestions for improvement." Tiangong
The person in charge of the bureau who stayed behind took Zhu Youjian to a copper machine and introduced the machine flatteringly.
These guys finally made a hand-operated nail sewing machine. Zhu Youjian hurried over and tried it himself. Although it was somewhat different from the hand-operated nail sewing machines seen on the street in later generations, generally speaking
The basic functions are available.
"According to this regulation, ten copper nail sewing machines will be manufactured first and sent to the nail factory for them to try out first. Then based on the workers' experience, we will continue to make improvements to make them more convenient and easy to use. In addition, since
If you can sew nails, you can follow this idea to make a practical sewing machine. At the same time, you need to change the hand-cranked method to a pedal-driven flywheel. In this way, you can free your hands and make it more convenient.
It is easy to operate. The pedal drives the flywheel. It is actually very simple. It is just a matter of a crankshaft and a leather rope. Within three months, I hope to see your finished product. If the finished product is suitable, the nail sewing project team will reward you two thousand taels of silver."
The pedal sewing machine is something that can seriously change production efficiency. Now that the general technical direction and path have been solved, we have to urge them to complete the finalization of the product as soon as possible and enter the mass production stage. chapter
