Back in the city, Zhu Jianji first inspected the Academy of Engineering. Based on demand, he instructed the Academy to continue to reserve talents and recruit embroiderers who were good at weaving to start developing the Jenny machine.
Jenny machine is actually very simple.
However, there are specialties in the art industry, so Zhu Jianji still plans to let professionals solve this problem.
If the Jenny Machine is developed, then the people of the Ming Dynasty will be able to properly solve the problem of clothing and warmth. In addition, the planting of sweet potatoes has been promoted, and within a few years, the food problem will be solved.
The population will begin to explode.
The population explosion has brought with it pressure on medical care and education.
In particular, the medical reform is the guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will move from being kingly to hegemonic. If the medical level cannot improve, there will be more lives and more deaths. It will be difficult to achieve the effect of population explosion in a short period of time.
If Zhu Jianji wants to build Ming Dynasty into the blue star hegemon in his lifetime, especially for future development, if he wants to occupy the territory of the oil-rich countries in the Middle East as his own, he must have a large population.
After arranging work at the Academy of Engineering Sciences, on the way back to the imperial city, Zhu Jianji called Liu Jing to the carriage. After giving these instructions, Liu Jing immediately went to arrange manpower.
Zhu Jianji ordered two things.
The first thing is to continue to strengthen the penetration of Mobei, especially the Jurchens.
Be sure to know every move of the Jurchen.
This is important.
Because the end of the Ming Dynasty came from the Jurchens entering the country.
Zhu Jianji must stop this situation before it happens.
What's more, we will prepare for the Liting of Jingtai in the spring of next year. If we know ourselves and our enemies, we will be victorious in every battle. We must clearly understand what Ligunaha's measures are in the northeast, so that we can make mistakes during the conquest.
The second thing is to make arrangements carefully.
But the target is Annan.
Because Baozong and Li Sicheng were currently in a close fight, Zhu Jianji hoped that Baozong could defeat Yunnan, and then he would just lead people to take over.
Well, the premise is that Han Ping has not rebelled.
Therefore, the Jinyiwei elite should go to Annan, help Baozong collect information as much as possible, infiltrate Annan's civil and military officials, and strive to corrupt Annan from within.
Zhu Jianji had an idea: to form a crushing control over countries other than the Ming Dynasty like the beautiful country did to Europe. For example, the national leader of Ukraine turned out to be an American.
Then it is normal for the king of Annan to be from the Ming Dynasty.
Returning to the imperial city, I went to the Qianqing Palace, but Lao Zhu was not there. When I asked the eunuch on duty in the palace, he said that Lao Zhu had gone to the East Palace with Queen Hang.
Zhu Jianji was not in a hurry to return to the East Palace.
In the spring of next year, we will attack the Jurchen Jingtai court. We have asked the Donggong Military Research Institute to prepare 30,000 firearms and equipment. However, at present, the Donggong young army only has 20,000 people, and we need to expand the army by 10,000.
Send someone to the Sixth Ministry to inform the Nine Ministers and the Governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Office in Kyoto to discuss the matter.
Now the Ming Dynasty has no money and cannot carry out military reforms, but the expansion of the young army is a must, and it has to ask the Ministry of War for people.
This is a national matter and needs to be discussed by the nine ministers.
To prevent court officials from saying that Zhu Jianji is dictatorial.
Jiuqing and the governors quickly gathered in the Qianqing Hall, only to find that His Majesty was not there, but His Majesty the Crown Prince was sitting behind the imperial desk. They were a little surprised, thinking that His Majesty Jingtai's move might be a precursor to the Zen throne.
Perhaps with just one more pioneering achievement, Zhu Qiyu would be willing to take the Zen position.
Defeat Annan or the Jurchens.
In this case, His Majesty's civil and military skills are already there, and he will not continue to stay on the throne to compete for political achievements for His Highness the Crown Prince. According to the current situation, it will probably be in the last one or two years.
Hang Min was at the Academy of Engineering Sciences, and Zhu Jianji was not waiting for him.
He said to everyone: "Today I went to inspect the Donggong Military Research Institute and the Academy of Engineering Sciences. According to the current firearms production level, I estimate that before the end of this year, the existing batch of firearms in the Young Army can be iteratively replaced. In this case,
The original 20,000 of the East Palace Young Army
Dongfeng rifle, but after picking and picking, I can still find about 5,000. The possibility of these 5,000 being scrapped is unlikely, but the young army does not need this old-fashioned Dongfeng rifle, so I plan to equip these 5,000 to the border.
In the army or regimental camp, what do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became jealous.
Especially the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion immediately looked at Yu Qian with hostility.
These five thousand Dongfeng rifles will be taken to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army no matter what.
Equipped to local governors.
Especially the border troops.
There is an urgent need for such powerful firearms.
Yu Qian's face remained calm. He was already past the age of being competitive, and Yu Qian knew very well that whether it was the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army or the Ministry of War, the so-called military power was a false phenomenon.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
The military power of the Ming Dynasty is now firmly controlled by His Majesty and the Crown Prince.
The removal of military generals, the deployment of troops and horses, the distribution of military pay, and the equipment of ordnance, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War cannot make decisions alone. They must go through the Qianqing Palace or the Eastern Palace Holy Judgment.
Ever since the Tang family's relatives were eliminated and the civil service clique was suppressed, His Majesty Zhu Qiyu, with the support of the nine ministers, gradually returned the military power to the imperial power.
So it doesn’t matter who gives these five thousand Dongfeng rifles.
Zhu Jianji saw this and felt enlightened, so he smiled and said: "There is no need to discuss it. Let's give it to the Datong border army. I will pass on my will and let Zhao Fu, who is stationed in Datong, select 5,000 elites to form a Shenji battalion. Donggong Xiao
After the Military Year, 5,000 Dongfeng rifles will be distributed, and corresponding ammunition will be continuously distributed after the Year."
The governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were overjoyed.
I didn't expect to get 5,000 firearms so easily.
Zhu Jianji's next sentence made these governors understand the reason, "Since the Datong frontier army has added 5,000 Dongfeng firearms and its combat power has soared, the number of troops can be appropriately reduced. However, this year Li Gunaha actually stole our Daming firearm technology, and his ambition is clear."
If it is revealed, I plan to conquer the Jurchens after next spring. The East Palace Young Army only has 20,000 people, which is a little weak in strength. Therefore, I plan to expand the army by 10,000 people and select 10,000 elites from the garrisons in Datong and surrounding areas to be incorporated into the East Palace Young Army. Dear Sirs,
Do you think it’s feasible?”
The governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion did not object.
Your Highness has been very kind.
Now that the imperial power was strong, His Highness the Crown Prince could have ordered people to be selected from the local governors of the Fifth Army Commandery to be recruited into the young army, but he did not. Instead, he took 5,000 Dongfeng rifles in exchange.
It belongs to the exchange of interests between the monarch and his ministers.
Yu Qian, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Your Highness, Datong is a frontier army. Now the Jurchens are building firearms north of Liaodong. They should not be underestimated. In the past year, the weather has been weird. Although our country has taken precautions in people's livelihood projects, it has ensured the safety of the people."
Live and work happily, but the Mongolian tribes in Mobei have been suffering from disasters for many years and are likely to disturb the border. Therefore, it is best if the border army cannot move. However, the expansion of His Highness's young army is the general trend. Wei Chen believes that it can be mobilized from the regiment camp.
The elite will be added to the young army."
Youjun can actually be restructured.
However, Zhu Jianji was still the crown prince, so this operation would have to wait until Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne.
When everyone heard this, they were secretly touched.
Who would have thought that Yu Shaobao, who was at the height of his power and devoted himself to controlling military power and did not dare to let the imperial power act arbitrarily and was worried about the next Tumubao Incident, would support the expansion of the Young Army so vigorously.
Yu Shaobao has such great trust in His Highness the Crown Prince!
Zhu Jianji was also secretly happy.
After all, he made Yu Shaobao a stronger person.
He smiled and said: "In that case, let's not move the frontier troops, and transfer 10,000 people from the regiment camp into the young army. Leave this matter to Yu Shaobao, and the matter will be completed within half a month."
Yu Qian accepted the order.
Zhu Jianji was in a very happy mood.
Young Army...
Thirty thousand people!
Equipped with the latest firearms after the end of the year, a thirty thousand young army can conquer all countries in this era.
It's time to expand externally.
As soon as cement and steam engines are developed...
There is no problem of hitting without cure.
The first thing to do at that time is to completely integrate Mobei into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Because Mobei has been Chinese territory since ancient times!
