After returning to the house, Zheng Kezang went into the study. Before entering, he specifically told the guard Mao Xing:

"From now on, if there is nothing important, no one is allowed to come into the study to disturb me."

"yes!"

Zheng Kezang nodded, quickly closed the door, dived directly into the Taishi chair, relaxed his mind, and called the system!

The familiar BGM "Stonemason" played again, and Zheng Kezang stared at the system interface intently:

[Ming and Zheng forces]

Identity: Zheng Jianguo of Ming Dynasty

Population: more than 200,000 people

Economic level: average

Total number of troops: 37,500

National Idea: (not lit)

State religion: Confucianism

Brilliance Points:720

Wonders: 1. Monument to the Chinese Heroes (Public Loyalty +15%, Soldier Loyalty +15%, Soldier Morale 10%)

Hey, the system interface has updated the mission. Zheng Kezang opened the mission interface out of curiosity. He didn’t know what the new wonders were, but he was looking forward to it.

[Task 2: The Venice Armory is a historical building complex in Venice, Italy. It is located in the Castle District. It was originally a national shipyard and armory. It was responsible for equipping Venice's naval power and used standardized parts for mass production very early on.

Zheng Kezang opened the quality concept interface again and found that the quality concept has four BUFFs:

Then, he clicked on the policy ideas column. As he thought, they were basically things from the game Europa Universalis, such as quantity ideas, quality ideas, administrative ideas, naval ideas, navigation ideas, offensive ideas, defensive ideas, and humanities.

Ideas, espionage ideas, innovation ideas, trade ideas, in addition to these in the game, there are also some that he has never seen before, such as agricultural ideas and industrial ideas.

[It is not effective because the army of this organization is not loyal to the host. The current army is in effect: Youth Camp]

Later, facing the crucial decisive battle of Wulongjiang River in Xinghua, he listened to Chen Shengwu's slander and appointed the only brave Xu Yao as his general. Xu Yao himself felt unworthy of being the general and asked for a change of commander.

If Zheng Jing really made good use of this huge advantage, and used the banner that the king's industry was not in harmony, and that Hu and Han were not at odds, he would imitate the surname of the country and make another northern expedition to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, Zheng Jing was sitting in Fujian and Guangdong, with the richest material background and a large number of Qing court officials.

It is completely feasible for the army to be restrained by the Geng and Wu families.

[③Navy training: Chaos on the battlefield will cause a ship to lose its combat effectiveness for a long time. Compared with ordinary crew members, well-trained crew members can recover from chaos faster.

Navy morale +10%]

As for Zheng Ming himself, if he could seize the south of the Yangtze River before the Geng and Wu families, it would also help him compete better in the world.

If it were in the game, he would definitely start with the concept of quantity. You must know that the concept of quantity is the most powerful diplomatic concept. As long as your army is large enough, the enemy will not dare to act rashly.

But this is reality. He speculated that lighting up the concept of quantity will only increase the people's willingness to join the army, but the total population will not change. Then everyone will become a soldier, and who will do production? There is no "money" in the military.

.

Even if Nandu still cannot be conquered, for the Jiangnan gentry who were quite dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty because of its effectiveness and the Temple Crying incident, the impact of the Ming Dynasty's imperial edict against the generals can be imagined.

But Zheng Jing had a significant advantage over the other parties involved in the San Francisco Revolution, as he was a legitimate legacy of the Ming Dynasty.

It was under this background that Zheng Jing successively defeated Geng Jingzhong, which was gratifying, destroyed Huang Fangdu, captured the four prefectures of Zhang, Quan, Hui, and Chao, and established achievements no less than those of his father.

During this period of time, Zheng Kezang also made up for the history of the Zheng family and found that his father Zheng Jing did a good job in domestic affairs, but his diplomacy and military affairs were a bit miserable.

[Artillery concentration: We should concentrate the use of our artillery to the maximum extent, so that the devastating firepower will easily tear a big hole in the enemy's array. Artillery combat capability +10%]

But his father, Zheng Jing, first betrayed his alliance with the Geng family because he accepted the Geng family's rebellious generals. Later, when faced with Geng Jingzhong's internal and external difficulties, he neither sent a large number of troops to seize the whole province of Fujian, but also weakened the Geng family's power as much as possible, nor extended a helping hand.

Help Geng Jingzhong tide over the difficulties.

Zheng's appeal also had a real effect. In the early days of Zheng Jing's landing in the Qing Dynasty, his troops were relatively sparse, so Geng Jingzhong also looked down upon him. But then heroes from Guangdong, Guangdong, and Fujian enthusiastically came to join the army, and Geng, the former leader of the Shang family,

Zheng Jun's old troops also contacted their old master one after another, and Liu Jinzhong and other junior military leaders also expressed their goodwill to Zheng Jing.

Without the tens of millions of stones of food foundation provided by Jiangnan during the San Francisco Revolution, the Qing Dynasty was almost certain to fail.

After reading the mission introduction, he had some impressions of the Venetian Armory. He remembered that it must be built on the seaside and could be used as a naval dock.

Chen Shengwu actually said that this was a sign of humility from the general and there was no need to pay attention.

These ideas can bring a lot of positive buffs to Zheng Kezang's forces, but they are also relatively expensive. Each idea requires 400 points to unlock.

After reading the mission, Zheng Kezang also had an idea of ​​the next stage of work. However, this armory still needs long-term planning and cannot be rushed.

[① From soldier to marshal: Every soldier has a marshal's scepter in his backpack. Although this statement is exaggerated, for those soldiers who perform outstandingly on the battlefield, promotion and rewards will be their natural course.

What you deserve. This kind of reward measure is well known to soldiers and motivates them to fight bravely. Infantry combat ability is increased by 10%]

"System, do these buffs take effect on my father's army now?"

It was built around 1104, during the Republic of Venice, covering an area of ​​about 45 hectares, or 15% of the city area of ​​Venice. Surrounded by a 2-mile-long defensive wall, blocking people's sight, it was the largest industry in Europe before the Industrial Revolution.

Complex.

[②Excellent horses: What an indestructible force! What a mighty and majestic cavalry! Look at those horses, what a powerful force they are. The cavalry combat ability is increased by 10%]

After reading it, Zheng Kezang almost smiled. He felt it was so worth it. With so many buffs, the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were not as good as his Zheng Family Army.

During the San Francisco period, Ming Zheng was indeed the weakest at the beginning. Fortunately, his father-in-law Chen Yonghua managed the country well, and poor people living in poverty along the coast due to the ban on maritime trade continued to sneak into Yizhou Island, but the capital was still too little.

As the general of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Jing had great appeal and reputation in the face of various forces.

Immediately, Zheng Kezang waved his hand, and the 400 points disappeared instantly, and the system interface changed:

[Concept: Quality concept is lit]

After thinking about it, he felt that the quality concept was the most suitable for him at this stage, because he remembered that the quality concept had a bonus on both the army and the navy, and was extremely cost-effective. As the saying goes, soldiers are more valuable than finesse.

The Armory produced most of Venice's maritime trade ships, bringing economic wealth and power to the city until Napoleon conquered the Republic of Venice in 1797. Ask the host to rebuild the Venice Armory, produce new warships and firearms, and ensure the safety of Yizhou Island.】

He now has 720 Brilliance Points, gritted his teeth, and can buy it, but he is in a dilemma about which concept to choose.

It's a pity, if it had taken effect, maybe his father wouldn't have suffered such a tragic defeat.

As a result, the Geng family, which still had considerable military strength, turned to the Qing court out of strategic despair, completely changing the situation in the southeast.

Chen Junyin, a veteran minister who was already in his seventies at this time, couldn't bear to see his life's career being harmed by a fool, so he bluntly demanded that Zheng Jing should personally unite the army to boost morale and fight a decisive battle with the Qing army in order to have a chance of survival.

Chen Shengwu said that it was the commander-in-chief's fault to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away. Chen Junyin was old and fatuous, so he was punished to go to the island to think about his mistakes.

In the end, as expected, the Zheng army was completely defeated by the superior Qing and Geng coalition forces. Within a few months, they lost seven prefectures: Zhang, Quan, Hui, Chao, Ting, Xinghua, and Shaowu.

Returning to reality, he calculated the days in his mind. At this time, his good father Wang Zheng Jing, Feng Xifan and others were coming back soon, and he had to prepare quickly.
Chapter completed!
