Emperor Xi personally ordered an interview. Dai Zi, who was far away in Yangzhou, couldn't help but be in love with the Xiang family. His father had served as an eighth-rank official in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army had been south for more than ten or twenty years. Dai Zi, who grew up during this period, did not feel any pain for the Manchus. The books he read also believed that the Qing Dynasty was orthodox in China. He failed the imperial examinations many times and was about to rely on his father's relationship to find a position in the green camp. At this time, the imperial decree had just come down. Dai Zi was shocked at first, and then was overjoyed. He heard the tone of the imperial envoy. The emperor wanted him to develop a musket. Making muskets was originally his interest. If the court could be appointed as an official and make a wish, it would be great to make a peace of mind to develop it.

After bidding farewell to his parents, Dai Zi officially set off at the urging of the imperial envoy. Because the emperor was anxious to see him, he rode a fast horse on the north. Every time he passed an inn, he changed a horse and entered Zhili in half a month. At this time, the court had an order again and appointed Dai Zi as the supervisor of the Fifth-rank Works Department. Dai Zi was overjoyed and took over the seal and official uniform issued by the emperor himself. He was deeply grateful for the great emperor's grace. What he didn't know was that if he was replaced in another time and space, a Dai Zi, who was the same, was sent directly to Heilongjiang to be a slave to the armored man. The reason why he had this opportunity today was because he still had something to do.

After Dai Zi arrived in Beijing, he immediately put on his court clothes and was led into the palace to meet him. In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Dai Zi finally met the emperor.

Kangxi seemed much more mature than before, and his tender face showed some majesty of being uneven and arrogant. He looked at Dai Zi who was lying on the ground from a distance, but he didn't expect Dai Zi to be so young.

"You are Dai Zi? I have seen your singling gun, it's very good, I'm a talent." Kangxi slowly savored the fragrant tea and said in a slow tone.

Dai Zi did not dare to look up, nor did he dare to stand up, and crawled and said, "The emperor is wrong, how dare I take it?"

Kangxi nodded, revealing his maturity that was inconsistent with his age: "You know how to be modest, it's great." Perhaps because Oboi was too arrogant in front of Kangxi, Kangxi looked at the respectful people differently and asked: "Although forging a musket is a strange and lewd skill, it is also a miraculous skill. I saw your continuous bead gun, which is more sophisticated than Ni Ming's continuous fire gun. It's really amazing. I want to rely on you to make magical weapons for my Qing Dynasty."

Dai Zi hurriedly said: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations when I receive the order."

Kangxi asked him again: "Dai's beloved, now the remnants of Ming Dynasty harm the six southwestern provinces. I urgently need a batch of beloved beloved to send it to Jiangnan to help the military. What can I do to make a batch of beloved beloved beloved?"

When talking about forging, Dai Zi immediately came to his senses and said, "Forging a bead gun is not easy. It not only requires good steel, but also a large number of skilled craftsmen. These are not something that can be completed overnight. However, the front line is tight, and Weichen can only work hard to make 3,000 expenses within three months. However, the emperor needs to prepare all the materials and enough manpower for Weichen. Even the clever wife is worried about the lack of rice, let alone Weichen?"

Kangxi couldn't help but frown. He only made three thousand pieces in three months, which was not enough to fulfill his wishes. However, it was the time to use people. No one except Dai Zi could make a bead gun, so he had to barely do this. Fortunately, the Dutch craftsmen on the other side also began to forge. Three months later, three thousand bead guns and thousands of new bore guns could be sent to Jiangxi, and Obai would use them first. Moreover, the Dutch gun forging craftsmanship was very exquisite. In addition, the docks in Tianjin and other places had already begun to build warships. Within a year, the new army and the navy could form a certain scale. By then, water and land would advance together, and it would be seen how long the Nanming could last.

Kangxi was stunned and looked at Dai Zi again: "I heard that you are also interested in shipbuilding. I have opened seven shipyards in Tianjin and opened several places outside the pass. The Dutch land and shipbuilding are indeed superb. The Dutch barbarians don't know that our heavenly dynasty is vast. I have opened more than a dozen docks to build ships. The Dutch barbarians were stunned. The land of their country is only a thousand miles, and the people are only one million. There are only two shipyards in a country. Now that we have arrived in the Heavenly Kingdom, we know that the sky is high and the earth is vast. Haha. I have issued an order to accelerate the construction of ships in each dock.

I will never delay the materials needed. In a year, I will be able to retake Qiongzhou and other islands." Kangxi's tone was full of arrogance. It is no wonder that the Dutch country was weak and could build so many giant ships. Kangxi held his own country and had skilled Dutch craftsmen. As long as he tried his best, he would have no problem building several fleets in a year. Manchus always thought that the reason why the Ming army won was because the firearms in the South Ming Dynasty were sharp. Now Kangxi had a bead gun and a Dutch craftsmen helped him. Naturally, he thought that the Southern Ming Dynasty was not a problem.

Dai Zi saw Kangxi attach importance to firearms. He lamented that he did not like to read since childhood. He was really lucky to like machinery. Now that the hero has a place to use his skills, he is also full of confidence and ambition. He said: "The emperor is wise and wise. I have some ideas about shipbuilding. In fact, warships have many styles and each have their own advantages. Therefore, the real dominance in naval battles is not warships, but sharp artillery. The reason why Western warships have been dominant for a while is the land that warships can carry a lot of ground artillery."

Kangxi deeply

He nodded and said yes. Dai Zi was indeed a talented person. So he said, "I asked you to do things in T3 to the Governor's Manufacturing Bureau and the Dock. You should do the job carefully."

"I am going to thank you for your kindness." Dai Zi bowed to the ground. Kangxi stroked the handle of the gold-inlaid peach wood chair. The eunuch on the side immediately understood that the emperor was tired. He hurriedly shouted: "Get up and go back to the Yangxin Palace!"

Dai Zi said goodbye and left without mentioning it.

In Haidu, Zhu Jun has been running into the valley all day long for the past half month, wanting to see the progress of the forging of the new cannons, Churchill frowned at the enthusiastic emperor, endured for a few days, and finally issued a fearless order to expel the guest. The reason is that every time Zhu Jun appears, it will make the craftsmen of the secret factory in the valley uncomfortable, and Churchill and the craftsmen cannot work normally.

Zhu Jun hit a nail in front of Churchill, but he didn't care. He left with a smile. The memorials in the palace were piled up like mountains. These memorials were all handled by the cabinet. After writing their opinions, all Zhu Jun had to do was to approve the red memorials and get it right. In a few days, it was finally cleaned up.

A memorial prepared by a foreign vassal attracted Zhu Jun's attention. It was the letter of the Japanese country. The Tokugawa shogunate asked the Ming Dynasty to accommodate a group of Japanese people in the Ming Academy to study.

Logically speaking, it is natural for the vassal states to send overseas students to the Ming Dynasty to arrive at the Ming Dynasty. The cabinet's approval below also agreed, but Zhu Jun felt very awkward. Japan's trade over the past year was completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants. Because there were many gold and silver mines in the country, those maritime merchants earned millions of taels of silver from Japan every year. The Japanese were very respectful to the Ming Dynasty and even gave many preferential treatments to the merchants who went to Japan to trade. Some big merchants could go to the Tokugawa shogunate at will. Even if they committed crimes, the shogunate would try their best to provide convenience. This made Japan's reputation among the Ming Dynasty's people very good. There was a mansion and even stood up for Japan. Most of the foreign vassals of the Ming Dynasty were named "the country of eternal conquest". Why didn't Japan do it?

Zhu Jun could only shake his head and smile bitterly at this voice, but he was very impressed by the Japanese's power and became more cautious. For this letter of national letter, Zhu Jun finally approved the correct words with a red pen. Since he was coming, then come openly. Otherwise, he would not know what despicable means would be used to study. As for the national affairs of Japan, Zhu Jun still had to be careful. This nation is very respectful when you are strong, but once you are weak, you will often be the first to jump out to death.

"International student?" Zhu Jun suddenly thought of something. Since Japan sent overseas students here, why can't he use some means? The Tokugawa Shogunate has reached its end, and the major names have been coveting Edo for a long time. This is a great opportunity to put this island country in civil strife. As long as it is properly controlled, it will be fine for more than ten years. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will mediate as the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, which is called persuading the fight. In fact, it is weakened. He must not be able to get up within a hundred years.

Zhu Jun had made up his mind and was very happy. He hurriedly called the eunuch beside him and said, "Go and invite Mr. Yang."

The eunuch responded to the order and left in a hurry. The current situation is very clear. The Ming Dynasty needs enough time to digest the land and soldiers of the Three Feudalists. All this takes a long time. The Qing Dynasty also urgently needs to accumulate strength and prepare for the final decisive battle. Therefore, the war in the north suddenly stopped. Unless a fuse was ignited, neither side wanted to take the initiative. Therefore, what Zhu Jun had to do now is not only train new recruits and develop the six northern provinces, but more importantly, find an opportunity to break through the Qing Dynasty's Jiangnan defense line, and this location is Japan.

Japan guards the east of the Pacific Ocean, and to the east is the hinterland of the southeast coast. The most important thing is that to the north of it is the Korean Peninsula.

Zhu Jun had a sudden enlightenment when he suddenly thought of a Japanese crazy saying: "If you want to conquer China first, you must conquer Manchuria first. If you want to govern Manchuria first, you must conquer Korea."

Isn't this a great offensive line? Now that the Yangtze River is full of heavy troops, the main force of the Qing Dynasty is deploying defenses everywhere, and 400,000 troops are standing in the front of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Unless we fight the Qing Dynasty to the death, it will be difficult to open a hole in this line of defense. The only way is to open up a new path. This method comes from Japan, which was changed by Zhu Jun: "If you want to revive the world first, you must conquer Manchuria first. If you want to conquer Manchuria first, you must conquer Korea first. If you want to conquer Korea first, you must conquer Japan first.
