Chapter 345
Important Ministers of the State
"Master, three of the ponds on the seaside have been dug out as you asked. We are still digging, but they are usable. When do you think we can start?"
"You can start anytime. It's the group of people you sent here. It doesn't matter if they don't understand each other's language. Their craftsmanship is not that good. I get a headache just looking at it, old man!"
Wang Zhien had an apologetic smile on his face: "Thank you for taking the trouble, master."
As he said this, he handed over a small gold ingot.
The old craftsman stuffed it into his sleeve, closed his eyes and said: "The only thing I have to do is that there is something that I don't understand. The Han people in the city said that King Black Flag is Han, and you are serving the court of King Black Flag.
Master, send us people here."
"Master, it's better not to know."
A smile that was no different from before fell into the eyes of the old craftsman, and he smiled heartily and sighed: "Then don't ask, anyway, the old man will stay here for two years. If you die in these two years, you
You have to send the old man back to his grave."
"Master, don't worry. There are enough natural resources such as ginseng and earthly treasures in Liaodong. If the shipyard is not built, if you don't build a hundred and eighty treasure ships, it will be difficult for you to die."
"Ha ha."
Heavy industrial technology bred in a better way.
It's time to do some transfers.
The first thing that began to be transferred was the shipbuilding technology that was in short supply in Black Flag.
It is very difficult to maintain the Black Flag Navy. If a large shipyard is not built, half of the Navy will be decommissioned in a few years.
In addition, shipping trade is also frequent, and the Ming Dynasty's shipyards are still able to explode due to the sugar trade. The Black Flag Country can only use warships to support it first, or directly finance the purchase. The purchased ships also lack maintenance facilities.
It just so happened that the development of the plains here has brought disaster to the forest resources accumulated in Liaodong for thousands of years. The large amount of accumulated timber resources can only be burned except for building houses and exporting a little to neighboring North Korea.
It would be a pity not to bring him in for shipbuilding.
Similarly, the Black Flag Industry Department, which was transformed from the remnants of the Manchu Industry Department, also needs some fresh technical support. After all, military operations often require more armament support.
With the influx of large numbers of slaves, the manpower needed for these industrial bases was filled.
This makes Zhengheiqi, a ferocious beast, the war machine operate more efficiently. Under the rough system, overdraft, and with the support of the foreign population, the overdraft of life generally accelerates fiercely.
Zhu Youjian seemed to be able to hear the rumbling and loud noises made when this power was accumulated during operation, and was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to explode in the right direction and channel.
It's a pity that few people notice this sound.
What the world pays most attention to.
Or the Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expedition.
The fruits of victory are in sight. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were attacked from a flank, which made the capital appear to be shrinking and gradually becoming depleted. The local policies also made the Ming gentry very disappointed with them. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's government was actually running smoothly this time. In the industry
With the help of others, Ming Dynasty finally burst out with some strength in this early spring.
Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing all sent troops to the north. A total of 200,000 troops headed by Huang Degong rushed to Tianjin. At this point, all the four towns in Jiangbei gathered together to join forces for the Northern Expedition to deliver the final blow to Manqin.
certainly.
We are all on the Northern Expedition, how can we miss Zhengheqi, the MVP who has the best record against the Manchus and Qing Dynasty that everyone knows very well?
Therefore, even though the Ming Dynasty began to support North Korea in back-stabbing Zhengheiqi, and even though the Ming Dynasty was preparing to impose sanctions on Zhengheiqi's trade, the Ming Dynasty still sent an imperial edict, requiring the Black Flag State Wuerte to cooperate with the main force of the Ming army to launch an attack on the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The reply from the Black Flag Country was also very simple.
"The country is small and weak, and cannot fight for a long time. In order to protect the people's livelihood, I am afraid that it will be difficult to obey orders."
Need money.
Seeing that all the Jiannu slaves are gone, and you Black Flag Savages are almost useless, can I, the Ming Dynasty, give it to you?
But it was not easy to break up, so the Longwu court could only promise to give it, hoping to trick the savage into making a move.
Zhu Youjian looked at the lineup of 200,000 troops in the four towns in Jiangbei, smiled lightly, and called Yue Le, who had just arrived at Zunhua Guard and had not yet recovered from the news that the emperor had been captured by Zhengheiqi.
"The Ming Dynasty's 200,000 troops are about to arrive in Tianjin. Our Qing Dynasty's foundation is in danger of overthrowing. I am very anxious. I wonder if you, Yue Lebeile, have a way to break the situation?"
"ah?"
What are you talking about?
Yue Le, who had endured hardship in Ninggu Pagoda for a while, had become much calmer. Coupled with the current situation of the Qing Dynasty and the fact that his brother had surrendered to the power of Zhengheiqi, although he was somewhat resistant to serving Zhu Youjian, he should cooperate.
You should still cooperate.
Before, I cooperated but did not work, but now I am willing to obey orders.
But this sentence is really confusing.
After thinking for a moment, Yue Le still said with some uncertainty: "Your Majesty, are you going to support the capital?"
Zhu Youjian sat leisurely on top and opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "That's it. Although I have to protect you, I still care about the safety of our capital. Now that the army is fighting hard, I want to lend a helping hand, but I can't help you."
The soldiers under his command had been fighting hard for several months, and forced conscription might arouse public resentment, so they could only contribute some food and military supplies to boost the military's power.
However, there is an old grudge between General Azig and this king, and if I send it to you, it will inevitably arouse disapproval, so I can only trouble Yue Lebele to go and deliver the grain to the general with Borobele."
Can Yue Le refuse?
The first reaction is naturally to refuse.
Is this true?
But after thinking about it for a while, Yue Le found that he had to accept this task.
Even if this Black Flag Uer has bad intentions, even if he wants to plot against the Qing Dynasty and use the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Qing Dynasty has really reduced the pressure on Tongzhou, the Eight Banners disciples and Azig who are waiting in Tianjin, who have been climbing on the ice and lying in the snow all winter, and are still shivering in the spring cold, really need a group of support.
Tongzhou is close to Tianjin, so the next day, Azig, whose braid on his head was already graying and his hair was a bit shorter, received letters from Wuerte, the black flag king, and Bolo and Yue Le.
The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty ordered the Black Banner King Wuerte to send food and clothing to Tianjin, and also sent five flying thunder cannons. He hoped that the general would withstand the Ming Dynasty's offensive and protect the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, the Black Flag King also opened up arms services. The gunpowder that was in short supply in the Qing Dynasty could be purchased at a price twice as high as the market price in Nanjing. It can be said that he was full of sincerity.
With the hard advice of Boluo and Yue Le, Zhengheiqi will also open a special market outside the east gate of the capital for the residents of the capital and the powerful people of the Qing Dynasty to purchase some daily necessities in the market, as well as some
Materials that are in short supply in the city and so on.
Azig was confused and at the same time his heart was filled with anger.
This stupid savage!
After scolding for a while, Azig sent someone to try to contact Bolo.
He doesn't care what Black Flag Wuerte thinks or how the court responds.
If there is food, we need it.
We have to eat two more bites of what Wuerte brought us!
This battle was so frustrating.
It would also be good if the soldiers under my command could relax more quickly.
emperor?
Boy!
Just a little thing.
Chapter completed!
