The emperor who had been staying in Nanjing since the spring of the fourth year of Chongzhen finally decided to return to the capital. This foolish emperor did not do anything good before leaving. He took the fat man to Yangzhou for a stroll, and actually forced Wei Zaode, the prefect of Yangzhou, to take the lead in attacking.
The report to the imperial court directly strangled the budding community halls that were being built in various places.
Chongzhen, who had been in Jiangnan for so long but couldn't even finish sightseeing in Nanjing, originally didn't want to return to Beijing so early. He also thought about taking a walk around with that damn fat man under the pretext of inspecting the results of the reform. But as the court prepared,
As the work was completed one after another, he had to accept the threats from the ministers of the DPRK and China and give up the opportunity to appreciate the spring scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
He was thrown into the capital and detained as a guard. Well, yes, it was the auxiliary minister who oversaw the capital, Li Guopu. This important minister who was over fifty years old said this. He has worked hard in the past few years to cooperate with the imperial court's new policies, forgetting to eat and sleep. Now he is walking on the road.
, those who don’t know will think that he is an old man. Now that the emperor’s affairs in Jiangnan are almost settled, should he go back and give him a holiday or something.
Li Guopu was not even fifty yet? Chongzhen was also confused after seeing this memorial. Like Zhu Youcong, he thought that the old guy was not sixty but seventy. However, when he went to the official department in charge of Gu Xichou and checked the files, he found that he was still in his fifties.
That's really what happened. It seems that this old guy can still play for a few more years and continue to stand up and be scolded in the name of an important minister.
You can ignore Li Guopu's affairs. Although the chaos in the North has begun, people's minds are at peace and the society is stable. No one in the Manchu Dynasty has had as much leisure as him in the past few years. How dare he ask for a vacation? It's pretty cool to think. I didn't see the emperor.
After working so hard for so many years, you only got three days off?
But the work of reforming the six departments had to be completed back to Beijing, and preparations had to begin for the weddings of the Western princesses in a few months. What made Chongzhen most uneasy was the secret report that arrived at the same time as Li Guopu's nagging letter.
The experimental railway from Wei to the capital has been built, and the late emperor, who presided over the research institute, wants to ask the current emperor to see what land flight is.
The Mohist masters at the Qingdao Shipyard, after referring to the experimental ship that had been wandering alone at sea for several years, have built the first fishery administration ship of the Ming Empire. I respectfully invite the emperor and the generals of Zhenguo, leading the civil and military ministers, to see the real
What does a warship with deterrent power look like? At the end of the secret report, Mo Wu also mentioned that the giant warship with a total length of 75 feet that will truly equip the Ming Empire Navy has completed work in the dock and will be launched in mid-May.
Follow-up work.
"Brother Dehui, I have been friends with you for the same age. You can't bear to see me suffer so much?" Xiong Wencan, who had been waiting in the warm wind for a day at the gate of the Nanjing Ministry of War, finally saw that familiar figure and sighed.
The smiling face just came up to him without caring about the contempt of others.
Zou Weilian is back. Zheng Hongkui, who rushed from Wo Island to take over the command of the Ming Empire's reinforcement fleet, arrived at the same time and brought the news that the Qingdao shipyard had started work. This guy immediately completed the handover procedures and threw the fleet away, regardless of the poor man.
Why did Zhou Fengxiang make such a fuss and sneak back to the country alone?
There is really no way to stay in the Tianzhu battlefield. Looking at those rampaging Western allies, Zou Weilian often feels ashamed for his own generals. Making war fortune? Do you know what it means that a cannon fires, and a thousand taels of gold are obtained? He has seen thunder with his own eyes.
Jozi led hundreds of people and occupied a well-defended city after two shellings. The treasures inside were not finished after being transported for ten days.
Is it amazing to fight one against a hundred? Look at those Western allies who are like wolves and tigers. Often a few dozen people dare to chase and beat up tens of thousands of people. Zou Weilian believes that if it were not for the restriction of military strength, the logistical support would still be sufficient.
If there were problems, those Western allies would have carved up Tianzhu long ago.
The most unjust person was the Archbishop of the East. A group of more than 300 knights took down the 90,000 Mughal army. It was amazing. But did he dare to go on a boat to provoke people, knowing that the general of the country strictly prohibited it?
When the navy soldiers came ashore to join the battle, the guy asked Zou Weilian if he had any
He was interested in going with him to rob Basain City. After being rejected, the damn bishop actually took a group of prisoners of war to the river and showed them off to the Ming Navy. Zou Weilian was so angry that he almost disobeyed the military order. With his strength
Ten broken boats ran up the Ganges to bombard the city of Agra.
"It's not impossible to let you go, but..." This time is the delivery of a warship in the true sense. The invitation list Zou Weilian just received from the Ministry of War is very long. It already includes all the officials of the fourth rank and above in the imperial court. There is no problem in agreeing to them.
, but it would be even better if you could get some benefits along the way.
"Don't worry, as long as you help me with this!" Xiong Wencan looked around secretly and whispered: "When the next negotiation is held, I will help you teach Luo Shengun a lesson!"
"Okay! For the sake of us being in the same age, I'll give you an invitation! Go and get it stamped!" Of course, if you have money, everyone must make it together. If you offend Mao Wenlong, who is temporarily serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War, it will not end well.
Guo. Zou Weilian magically took out a pile of invitations from his arms, shook them and said to the court ministers beside him who were also eager to see what they were looking for: "Five hundred taels a piece, a child is innocent. If you adults want it, hurry up!"
"I want! I want..." Five hundred taels of invitations are really not expensive. Even entering the Ministry of War will cost so much, but what you are visiting is the armored battleships of the Ming Empire! Not to mention those who just visited
When new officials began to enter the imperial court, even veterans such as Shi Kefa couldn't help but jump out and be slaughtered.
Haven't they been busy for so many years just to see the rise of the Ming Empire? They will naturally assist the emperor to improve the people's livelihood in the country, but they don't know how far the empire's military strength has developed. If they have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes
It would be a lifelong regret to miss the moment of witnessing the sailing of the navy and not be willing to part with such a small amount of money.
"Brother Cong, do you mean where the Imperial Military Academy will be located this time?" Chongzhen didn't know about the fact that the military department was selling tickets for the navy tour. If this fool knew about it, he might also follow suit and take the opportunity to do something cruel.
Deal with those sycophants who buzz around all day long.
He was very confident about the new warship Chongzhen, which was about to be officially put into use. The deeds of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were deeply stimulated by Chengzu. Although he had just returned from Yangzhou and obtained the most trustworthy information, he still had some information in his hand.
A model comes with Mowu, but I still can’t help but want to compare it with my ancestors.
The new battleship is weaker than the treasure ship used by Zheng He in terms of size and displacement, but the purpose of the two ships is completely different, and the weapons equipped on them are even more different. The treasure ship is equipped with red barbarian cannons
and Qianjin Folang machine, and the new fishery administration ship only has six front main guns. The caliber has reached nine inches, which is much larger than the previous fishing boats, and the gunpowder is also the latest development.
of……
After comparing his ancestors vertically, Chongzhen couldn't help but compare with potential enemies. The warships of the Western allies were equipped with hundreds of artillery pieces, which definitely far exceeded the Ming warships in number, and they
It is also very likely that explosive ammunition will be developed in a short period of time. As for its effectiveness in battle...it's best not to mention it.
The Western allies use broken wooden ships, but this damn fat man of the Ming Dynasty uses iron-armored battleships like a hedgehog, which is really bullying. But if the little fat man hadn't said that he wanted to gain experience, Chongzhen would have really
I want to personally order a stop to the construction of fishery ships, and vigorous research and development has already
A giant battleship leaving the dock. It only has armor that is four inches thick at its thinnest point. What kind of cannonballs are wasted? Wouldn’t it be more economical to just ram it and sink it? Even shelling the big one is better than the small one. After all, God
There is also the virtue of living well. If you can solve the problem immediately, don't let people suffer a second time!
"Yes, is there any problem?" Now that Ming Dynasty's technology is developing rapidly, he no longer has to worry about equipment. Although Zhu Youcong has little military knowledge, he has also been planning for the Imperial Military Academy for many years.
, now it’s time to get back to building.
The reason why he had this idea was because the ship model sent by Mo Wu made Zhu Youcong find something worthy of excitement. The Mohist masters had begun to have their own ideas, and the designs they adopted were not exactly the same as those of later generations. This
It is much better than copying it according to the diagram. Zhu Youcong does not mind that the things used now are lacking. Many good designs in later generations cannot be applied due to the existing scientific and technological conditions of the Ming Dynasty. Only the suitable ones are the best.
"Question? You little fat guy, you think you have any questions for me?" Chongzhen became more and more angry as he talked. He knocked on the map on the table and said, "See for yourself, where did you choose?"
"Isn't it just Buerhan Mountain? It's a little far away, but I won't mind!" Since it's a military academy, it can't just build teaching buildings, but also have a large enough training ground. But Ming Dynasty can now
All the places in use have been occupied, and Liaodong has been designated as an agricultural base. No matter how aggressive Zhu Youcong is, he can't go hungry.
"As long as you don't mind? This is the Tatar hinterland, not my Ming Dynasty's place!"
"Isn't it our territory?" I looked at the map carefully and found that it seemed to be the case. But Zhu Youcong didn't plan to make any changes. That place is great! Not only can it be used now, but the research institute will also work on it in the future.
After the internal combustion engine, the Ming Empire owned
We can continue to make do with our own mechanized troops. "If it's not ours, just grab it. Anyway, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Polu have been idle recently, and Chagan Bala and his group are also clamoring all day long to restore the honor of the Golden Family.
Let’s find something for them to do.”
"Brother, I remember you said that we were preparing to start a war in the south. Why did you set your eyes here again?" Chongzhen did not want to interfere too much in the arrangement of the war, but now the Ming Empire needed land suitable for farming and free laborers who worked hard and without complaint.
, requires coal and iron resources, and Zhu Youcong has long said that an Annan can solve it.
If we suddenly change the direction of the attack and the land problem is solved, how will we get the other two things? The Tatar tribe has suffered a lot in recent years. If they can get enough resources from them, will this damn fat guy wait until now? Northern Front
And the two major corps on the Western Front haven't wiped them out long ago?
"Who said I can only open one front? Didn't Old Man Han say that if you want those Western allies to obey, you must first show them what the fury of thunder is! If you don't play with the second largest, they will be honest.
Are you struggling there for us?" Zhu Youcong suddenly smiled and said to Chongzhen: "Brother Emperor, don't you think that I am accompanying you back to Beijing this time just to receive the new warship?"
Chongzhen seemed to sense something was wrong, and quickly protested: "Then what else do you want to do? As a brother, I can warn you, I am the emperor!"
"What an excuse! How can I use troops without an excuse?" Zhang Polu's Northern Corps now actually controls all the areas east of the Yuerhai Sea. It is not difficult at all to find an excuse to continue to expand the results, but Zhu Youcong is
I want to cause some trouble for Chongzhen.
"As a brother, I know that you little fat guy has bad intentions!" No one wants to take the blame, but if a few scoldings can help him expand his territory, Chongzhen is still happy to do it. Besides, there is no old man like Li Guopu in this court.
Are the boy and Shi Kefa waiting for the newly returned traitors? Throw them out if you don’t like them. What an honor it would be to be scolded for the emperor! (To be continued...)
