After saying a lot, Zhao Xin is actually concerned about territorial issues. The distinction between Hua and Yi is not important to him at all, and he does not care about the tributary system. Whether it is an island country, the Li Dynasty or Annan, it doesn’t matter whether you are Chinese or Yi
, don’t try to take advantage of the territory from the pro-vassal system, you will have to spit out whatever you eat from me!
For example, the Li Dynasty used vague concepts in place names to annex the southern area of Jiangyuan south of Hunchun; another example is Annan's annexation of the Dajuhe River forty miles; and the Ryukyus occupied by the Shimazu family for two hundred years.
Lin Ziping thought about the meaning of Zhao Xin's words for a while before he finally understood it. He returned to his residence in the evening and said to Sato Shinbuchi worriedly: "Zhao Dian's meaning is very obvious. He does not intend to explain it to him."
According to the ancestral teachings, he wanted to turn the barbarians into summer! Manchus, Mongols, Feyaka people... It’s ridiculous that I’m still talking about the four barbarians, but little does he know that there are no four barbarians in Zhao Wangdian’s eyes.
The barbarians, or the vassal states, are the barbarians."
Sato Shinbuchi asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this, teacher?"
Lin Ziping sighed: "You are too young and don't know many things yet. As far back as the 24th year of Zhengping in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which was the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu once issued an edict to consolidate our country, Li Dynasty and other fifteen
This vassal state is listed as a "country that cannot be conquered", and future generations are expressly ordered not to conquer it at will. If Zhao Dian conquers the world, Ezo Land, Katai Island, and even Ryukyu, don't think about it again in the future."
Sato Nobubuchi was surprised: "Ryukyu? What is the relationship between Ryukyu and our country?"
Lin Ziping looked at the candlelight in front of him and said quietly: "Yuan Hai, do you know the height of the stone in Satsuma Domain?"
Sato Shinbuchi thought for a while and replied: "Seven hundred and seventy thousand koku."
"It's actually 900,000 koku. It is the second most powerful clan in the world after Kaga. If Zhao Dian takes Ryukyu back, the Shimazu family may not even be able to reach 600,000 koku!"
Sato Shinbuchi suddenly realized what he said and asked with worry: "Teacher, what are you saying?! This is not good. It seems that I must write to my friends in Satsuma Domain after I return."
"I'm afraid that's what Zhao Dian wants you to do! What he said during the day was so strange. It's only now that I understand why he told us this. He's trying to shock the mountain."
Sato Shinbuchi thought for a long time and finally said with difficulty: "Teacher, according to the student's opinion, for the current plan, Japan can only follow Zhao Dian's footsteps and help him dominate the world, so that there will be no risk of annihilation."
Hey, Zhao Xin probably never dreamed that his words during the day would actually turn Sato Shinbuchi, who advocated "Japan-centrism" in history, and even advocated annexation of China, and then expanded throughout Asia until he dominated the world, into
Chinese powder.
Cannons teach you how to be a good person! They are applicable to both China and foreign countries in ancient and modern times, and they are especially applicable to island countries.
The day after the conversation in the library, Wang Zhong asked to see Zhao Xin. As soon as he came up, he bluntly asked King Zhao who was your first teacher?
Zhao Xinxin said that kindergarten teachers count? Of course he would not say that. He could only explain to Wang Zhong that what he studied was not the Confucian education system. Although he had read a few Confucian books, his interest was still in economics.
and mathematics.
Wang Zhong shook his head and sighed, saying that this is not possible. Since you, King Zhao, want to conquer the world, Beihai Town will need a lot of talents in the future. With your current ink, I am afraid it will not be easy to recruit talents. After saying that, he gave Zhao Xin a book list, which was
He listed more than a dozen books and asked Zhao Xin to take the time to read them carefully; if there was something he didn’t understand, he could come to him once every three days for explanation.
Zhao Xinxin said that Wang Zhong wanted to be his teacher! He thought about it for a while and then agreed. He even performed the apprenticeship ceremony on the spot, which made Wang Zhong very satisfied.
Time flew by and it was early February. Heita received news from the island country that the old buildings in Juqihama and Yokohama Village outside Ishinomaki Port had been demolished, and they were waiting for Beihai Town to send people to build commercial buildings.
In mid-February, the Thunderbolt set off for the island country with a construction team of 500 people and corresponding engineering machinery, plus two companies of soldiers; Liu Zheng, a trade representative with little presence in the island country, also went with him
, he planned to see what business opportunities there were.
Among the passengers heading south to the island country this time, Sato Nobubuchi also carried a handwritten letter from Lin Ziping on the ship. He planned to land quietly in Sendai Domain and then persuade a group of intellectuals who were proficient in Orchid Studies to serve in Beihai Town.
In order to prevent Liu Zheng from being beaten down by sugar-coated bullets when he went to the island country, Zhao Xin took him and Zhang Bo back for a trip three days before their departure. Again, if you want to marry a wife in this time and space, you must
Think clearly; don't finish eating with the front foot, then wipe your mouth with the back foot and leave. Zhao Xin doesn't care about the bad things like wiping the butt.
At present, the work of the training base is almost on track. Four short-term training courses for officers have been held. There are still two courses left. The primary rotation training of officers in Beihai Town is completed. The next step is to formulate an exercise plan to test the training.
Results.
"The time will be set in June, and we will start after the spring plowing is over." Zhao Xin told everyone present the general arrangement of the exercise and ordered Sheng Haizhou to make a plan first.
In the conference room, Wang Yuanfang, Wu Siyu and Ding Guofeng were smoking and listening, while Sheng Haizhou took notes with several small staff members.
At this time, Wang Yuanfang raised his hand and asked: "What is the scale of this confrontation?"
"Regiment-level confrontation, multiple drills. Each regiment was pulled out to practice. The method is still the same, divided into red and blue armies, one side mainly attacks and the other mainly defends." Zhao Xin explained while writing on the blackboard.
Wang Yuanfang said: "That means you have to greet everyone during camping, soil work, and live ammunition shooting?"
"Yes! All up."
Wang Yuanfang nodded and said: "Good guy! Just the consumption of bullets will make you go to sea."
"Don't worry about this. We'll talk about it later." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the blackboard in the conference room, picked up the chalk and started writing.
It is said that a field military exercise requires many aspects to be considered, and Zhao Xin plans to use this exercise to firstly improve the staff's paper work and coordination capabilities, and secondly to promptly discover problems in various aspects of the troops so that adjustments can be made as soon as possible
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The staff department where Sheng Haizhou is located has a huge workload during the exercise. The first step is to determine the number of troops in the exercise and the scale of the confrontation, and then use this to formulate the plans for the red and blue armies.
Combat organization and order of battle. At the same time, they also need to formulate rules and regulations during the exercise, coordinate communications, discipline, and logistical support.
Looking at what Zhao Xin had written on the blackboard, Sheng Haizhou and a few other staff members kept wiping their sweat, thinking that this was really trying to catch up - it was so embarrassing!
Zhao Xin threw the chalk on the table and said to Sheng Haizhou and others: "I have taught you all winter, whether it is a mule or a horse, it must be taken out for a walk. Be bold, this is our first time, we are not afraid of making mistakes, we are afraid of not making mistakes.
Do."
Sheng Haizhou asked tremblingly: "Then, where is the training place?"
Zhao Xinxiang thought for a while and said: "It will be arranged ten kilometers east of Fuldan City and within a radius of twenty kilometers of the exercise site. Next month, you and Lin Ziping's surveying and mapping team will set off together to first move the exercise area.
The map is drawn.”
Wu Siyu raised his hand and said: "The area span is so large, I'm afraid there won't be enough time. When do you plan to start this exercise?"
Zhao Xindao: "First set it in mid-June. The troops have to take a rest after busy with spring plowing."
Sheng Haizhou said in astonishment: "You mean the troops will still participate in this year's spring plowing?"
"Of course! Everyone from top to bottom must participate. We will bring at least 50,000 people here this year. If food is not provided, everything else will be in vain."
In mid-March, the "Beihai Town Summer Exercise Order" was finally formulated and began to be distributed to platoon-level officers and notified to the entire army.
The entire order is divided into ten articles, including the date of the exercise, director's office, communications, signals, prohibition regulations, compensation for damage and prevention of hazards, regulations on the management of exercise ordnance and ammunition, military supply support, clothing and flags, and transportation back to the team after the exercise.
According to the "Exercise Order", the Beihai Town training base was upgraded to a training headquarters. Zhao Xin, Wang Yuanfang, Wu Siyu, Liu Sheng, Ding Guofeng, and Sheng Haizhou formed the director's department with specialized agencies and assigned relevant military and political parties.
Personnel are specifically responsible.
At this time, Yu Deli, as the head of the propaganda department under the director's department, proposed that Beihai Town should form a military band.
I'll kill him! Zhao Xin almost turned over from his chair after hearing this.
I want to find people who can play suona, flute and sanxian among the refugees, but where can I find someone who can play brass instruments? I asked around the entire Beihai Town, including Pereira and Father Ma.
, no one can.
Everyone in the director department thought about the scene, the thumping big drum, the ticking suona, the rumbling three-stringed string instrument... the whole scene was like the Boxer Rebellion setting off for an expedition.
Tsk tsk, forget it!
Zhao Xinyu advised earnestly: "Lao Yu, the propaganda team can be started first. Allegro storytelling and even bangzi opera can be performed first. As for the military band, you should wait until I find some French missionaries from Macau."
Yu Deli had no choice but to give up after hearing this.
It is said that the director's department also has a very important job, exercise evaluation. Zhao Xin really didn't understand this, so the task fell to Wang Yuanfang, who had participated in the most exercises. Wang Yuanfang, who had just been awarded the title of Commander of the Training Department, had to be transferred from the Youth Military Academy
Ten students were recruited to take on the task of judging the exercise.
The next step was the Military Justice Department, which established military judges and military police. This matter was left to Lu Shoushan. Poor Lu Shoushan had just come out of the officer's short-term training course, and he just thought that he was finally out of the secret agent career and could lead troops.
Unexpectedly, a hat fell off and he was promoted to Director of the Military Justice Department.
One day later, when Xu Shounan saw Lu Shoushan in the town, he found that Uncle Lu had a grimace on his face and sighed from time to time, so he quickly asked what was going on.
Lu Shoushan touched Xu Shounan's head and sighed: "Oh! It's so difficult for me!"
Who wouldn’t have difficulty? After the exercise order was issued, Zhao Liang and Chen Qingsong began to work together. Food, feed, various equipment, horses, vehicles, and clothing all began to be prepared. All the women at home in Beihai Town were mobilized to make clothes and shoes every day.
Very busy.
The bullet production line in the workshop finally started production. Among all the materials required, except for the copper sheet, which was processed by the workshop, the rest were purchased by Zhao Xin. And due to the lack of proficiency of the workers, the scrap rate was high, so that every day
The production volume was only 20,000 rounds.
You must know that although the production line purchased by Zhao Xin is only second-hand equipment, if it is operated at full capacity, its daily production capacity will be more than 500,000 rounds.
With the successive launch of several production lines, especially the start-up of iron and steel-making furnaces, another shortcoming of Beihai Town's industrialization has been revealed, that is, insufficient power!
At the moment, Zhao Xin had no idea whether to buy a few more one-megawatt diesel generators or build a thermal power plant, so he called Chen Qingsong, Zhao Liang, and Zhang Bo that night.
Have a meeting to discuss together.
Chen Qingsong said: "I have read some information. Small coal-fired power plants must have an installed capacity of one hundred megawatts. Isn't this better than buying a generator? Even a thermal power plant with an installed capacity of sixty megawatts is not.
A good deal.”
The so-called installed capacity refers to the amount of power generated per hour. 100 megawatts means that the generating set can generate 100,000 kilowatt hours per hour when operating at full load.
Zhao Liang said: "We can't solve the equipment problem ourselves, but we can train a group of workers by building power plants, and small equipment can be gradually copied. I think this is a good opportunity to improve our overall technical level."
Zhang Bo saw Zhao Xin looking at him at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, I am a welder, not an electrician. There is a huge difference!"
"You really have no pursuit, you are still the CEO of an oil group!"
"But I really can't be an electrician. I don't even have an electrician's certificate. Besides, I have to go back to Bitterleaf Island in April."
Zhao Xinyi thought so. Zhang Bo still had to take charge of the local oil refining, so there was no need to drag him in.
Chen Qingsong said: "Zhao Xin, you really need to find a professional to handle this matter. Thermal power plant construction is so professional! This matter is really hard for everyone to do. Once something goes wrong, it will be a big deal."
Zhao Xin nodded slowly after hearing this. He is not an all-rounder, he only specializes in the art industry. With these two or even no sword skills, the current development of Beihai Town has entered a bottleneck. It is in urgent need of several professionals. Look.
I have to go back and put up the recruitment banner and fool around again.
Since the trust fund was established, Zhao Xin felt that the issue of confidentiality was no longer a problem, and it was not a matter of deceiving people to kill people or set fires. Who can't live with money these days? It was just a question of how much.
Anyway, there are gold mines everywhere under the jurisdiction of Beihai Town. Searching for Rengji Island, Urupu Island, the Konobui Mine in Ezo, and even the "abandoned" Hisikari Kaneyama Zhao Xin in the Satsuma Domain has no plans.
Let it go. Right now, we just don’t have enough manpower and equipment. If conditions are sufficient, thousands of kilograms of gold a year will be enough.
Besides, there is also the other side of the ocean that no one has explored yet...
As soon as he said it, Zhao Xin hurriedly explained the matters at hand and returned to China two days later. When he told his cousin, Cheng Wei was stunned.
"Ah? Why are you still recruiting people?"
"The project is too big, and now there is a power shortage in that place."
"Brother, what kind of job do you do?"
"Support the construction of backward areas."
"Okay! You are so awesome, you have already supported me overseas."
Two days later, several large recruitment websites opened a special section. XX Company was recruiting thermal power industry workers to work abroad.
Thanks to the policy of shutting down small thermal power plants with backward production capacity in various places in the past two years, Zhao Xin was dazzled by the resumes of hundreds of applicants on the first day when the recruitment content was released.
After reading for two days, he finally selected seven or eight resumes from dozens of factory director candidates and began to call and interview them one by one. Zhao Xin's strategy was to first find the candidate for the factory director. This person must understand construction and management.
As for energy conservation and emission reduction, it is not important at all.
With the factory director, drawings and planning will be available, and the staff below will not be a problem.
