Chapter 143 Zhu Youjian’s hatred for Huang Taiji, the first battle of the navy

Zhao Prison, the prison controlled by the Jinyiwei.

"Huang Taiji, Dorgon has started negotiating with me again. The negotiation conditions require you to be released. Are you looking forward to going back as soon as possible and then regaining your momentum to take revenge?"

Zhu Youjian sat in the cell and spoke to Huang Taiji, who was strapped to wooden stakes and covered in bruises.

Perhaps Huang Taiji once destroyed the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Youjian didn't plan to spare him easily, so he asked the Jinyiwei to beat Huang Taiji every now and then, and also prevent Huang Taiji from committing suicide.

As for Zhu Youjian, when he has time, he will come here to talk to Huang Taiji when he remembers Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji had his hair disheveled, showing his resentful eyes, his face covered with blood, and looked very ferocious. Faced with Zhu Youjian's insult, he was no longer willing to talk to him.

Zhu Youjian didn't care. He was talking anyway, so he was talking, not here to listen to Huang Taiji: "Huang Taiji, guess if Dorgon exchanged you back, would he assassinate you halfway? Or even if you go back, you will be under house arrest. Now the Later Jin Dynasty is no longer your Huang Taiji, but Dorgon's.

Dorgon was still not weak. He joined forces with the Tatars, returned all the territory he had occupied before, and united to fight against the Ming Dynasty, which made me unable to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty for a while!”

Although Huang Taiji was angry that Zhu Youjian often came to prison to humiliate himself, he also learned some of the battle situation between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty from Zhu Youjian.

Dorgon was capable, Huang Taiji believed that Dorgon was a good thing to take over him in charge of the Later Jin Dynasty, and it was inevitable to unite with the Tatars. This was the only way to ensure that the Later Jin Dynasty could continue.

What Huang Taiji has never understood is why the Ming Dynasty suddenly became so powerful, and who betrayed him, causing him to be ambushed and captured. He suspected Daishan and Dorgon and others, but there was no clear answer.

He asked Zhu Youjian before, but Zhu Youjian just didn't say it.

Zhu Youjian began to speak on his own: "In another year or two, I will have the opportunity to destroy your Later Jin, and then destroy the Tatars!"

He looked up at Huang Taiji's eyes and said, "I know you don't believe it. But you will see that I have destroyed them, and I will not kill you at that time. I will let you dig coal, dig coal for the rest of your life, and repay the sins you have committed."

Huang Taiji used to hear that Zhu Youjian was a suspicious, indecisive, cruel, and unscrupulous emperor. It can be seen from his design to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan.

However, when he saw Zhu Youjian, Huang Taiji found that Zhu Youjian was different from the past. He became calm, confident, decisive, and wise. And for some reason, Zhu Youjian hated him very much, which was a hatred from the bottom of his bones, which made Huang Taiji a little confused. Even if the two countries were fighting, they had not yet destroyed their country. Is there such a great hatred?

He didn't know that Zhu Youjian hated Huang Taiji for destroying the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian said to Huang Taiji for about half an hour. Before leaving, he asked someone to beat Huang Taiji. After listening to Huang Taiji's screams for a while, he left comfortably.

Facing Huang Taiji, Zhu Youjian had a difficult knot in his heart, so he was a little perverted. He had to torture Huang Taiji and felt more comfortable.

After leaving Zhao Prison, Zhu Youjian went to the Imperial College for a look.

The Imperial College started reform after Xu Guangqi took over, and now it has changed a lot.

The previous Imperial College was already corrupt and could not cultivate talents. Zhu You searched and reopened it and re-established a new Imperial College.

This fall, the reformed Imperial College recruited the first batch of new students.

They came to Imperial College not to study Confucianism, but to study science and technology.

In addition to new mathematics, geography, mechanics, architecture, astronomy, medicine and other sciences.

Zhu Youjian is also conducting experimental summary and compiling physics and chemistry with Xu Guangqi and others.

Zhu Youjian brought some of the experiences he learned during the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, which gave Yu Xu Guangqi and others great inspiration and help.

At today's point in time, even in the West, there is no systematic physics and chemistry.

Zhang Hao and others had research experiments with Lu Ban and others in the Tang Dynasty and compiled some theoretical knowledge of physics and chemistry.

With experience, it was much easier to develop physics and chemistry in the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Ban was still working hard in the Tang Dynasty, and he wanted to fight until the last moment. After that, he wanted to come to the Ming Dynasty and continue his research.

Now Master Luban is a master of physics and chemistry, and he was the pioneer in the Tang Dynasty.

Some research rooms and laboratories have been built in ICBC, and more are under construction. Each discipline has its own laboratories and research rooms, insisting on combining theory and practice, summarizing theory in practice, and constantly accumulating breakthroughs.

Zhu Youjian met Xu Guangqi and others in a physics laboratory, and then joined them and used the experience gained in the Tang Dynasty to guide them.

Although Xu Guangqi is already seventy-one years old, he is full of energy and motivated, and is more motivated than a young man.

Zhang Hao in Fujian is also preparing to build a research institute and an arsenal.

The institute is used to study new things. He bought some rubber from foreign merchants and prepared to make some rubber products. The institute is used to build some basic machinery to prepare for the production of generators, motors, etc. in the near future.

And the arsenal naturally manufactures advanced firearms, flintlock rifles, and steel artillery.

There are also bullets, which are bullets filled with gunpowder and shells.

Master Lu Ban in the Tang Dynasty had already gained some insights. Perhaps it could be done before Master Lu Ban died. At that time, Zhang Hao could use his experience to the Ming Dynasty.

With this kind of bullet, you can make a revolver and make up. You can also make shells, real artillery, etc. in the future.

Of course, it may take more time to try.

This winter, Zhang Hao inspected Nanjing, Zhejiang and Fujian. The officials did a good job and the policies were implemented.

After killing many corrupt officials, the officials who did not act, the rest became honest. Moreover, a new group of officials were promoted and a new group of officials wanted to do things. They acted as the main force and led other officials to do things together, and all aspects of things went much smoother.

After Li Shimin took charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he made adjustments to officials in other provinces. Some were arrested and some were demoted, and the officials were rectified, which had a good effect.

In this way, there is no need for Zhang Hao to go and start a massacre.

Instead of asking Zhang Hao to go to other provinces, officials in other provinces were more willing to accept the decision of the Ministry of Personnel, at least not too many people died. More than just demotion and dismissal and some property were confiscated, and not many were actually killed.

With the efforts of Zhang Hao, Li Shimin, Liu Bei, Wu Zetian and Zhu Youjian, the entire local officialdom was also a major change, and a very effective official rectification was carried out.

...

"Brother, I have formed the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. What should I do next?"

Wu Zizang came to Zhang Hao to discuss the matter today. Zhang Hao refused to call her brother-in-law, so she called Zhang Hao "Brother". Zhang Hao didn't care about her.

The Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Hao asked Wu Tsang to take the lead in organizing a chamber of commerce in order to drive the development of the economy in Jiangnan.

Wu Zhishou is doing a big business now, with Zhang Hao and Wu Zetian behind it. No one dares to offend him easily, and he goes very smoothly.

“Good done.”

Zhang Hao said: "Next, some technologies will be promoted in the Chamber of Commerce, such as the flying-screw loom technology, glass, cement, coke, honeycomb coal, ceramic tiles, etc., which can sell manufacturing technology to the Chamber of Commerce people, so that they can actively open factories.

It’s just that the court and we do it ourselves, the power is limited and the power of the people must be used.

With more factories, more workers are recruited, which can allow many people who have lost their land to get a job.

The future taxes of the imperial court will shift the focus to commerce and reduce the burden on farmers.

Jiangnan has a developed economy and has a good foundation. After the imperial court encircled and suppressed pirates and Japanese pirates and cleared the maritime trade route, a large amount of goods could be sold abroad. Buy what we need from abroad..."

Zhang Hao said a lot, and Wu Zizang wrote it down one by one. He admired Zhang Hao very much, thinking that Zhang Hao was a versatile talent, and it seemed that nothing Zhang Hao could not do.

After leaving Zhang Hao's mansion, Wu Zizang convened the members of the chamber of commerce to hold a meeting and talked about the sale of technology.

"President, you're not kidding. The way you made these things you said was basically in the hands of the court. We wanted to get them, but we couldn't get them anyway. Now we can buy them with just some money?"

"President, did Governor Zhang agree to this matter? We dare not buy it if he didn't agree!"

The merchants are also afraid of Zhang Hao’s name as a murderer.

Wu Shuang said: "Don't worry, this is what Governor Zhang asked me to do at this time. The Governor General represents the court. The court hopes that our products will promote the economic development of the country, open more factories, recruit more workers, and make products efficiently...

And the Governor is about to clear the maritime trade routes, so we can still keep our business abroad with confidence.

You can sell the technology, but it is limited to members of the Chamber of Commerce. After purchasing the technology, it must not be disclosed or given to others, otherwise the Governor will ask him for tea.

At the same time, the Governor encourages everyone to work hard to develop new technologies based on existing technologies. After the new technologies are recognized by the court, they will be protected. Others cannot use this technology without your permission. This technology patent is not allowed.

But technical patents can be sold, just like now, the court sells technology to you, this is the court's technical patent..."

Wu Zang said a lot, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce became more and more excited as they listened.

They may have no choice but to join this chamber of commerce, but now it seems that Wu Zang gave them a huge business opportunity!

After buying the technology, the members of the chamber of commerce went to find suitable places to build factories, recruit workers, and put them into production.

The shopping malls in the Jiangnan region are very active throughout the winter.

Zhang Hao asked the government to organize the construction of major official roads in Nanjing, Zhejiang and Fujian, and to purchase cement, steel bars, concrete and other materials produced by members of the Chamber of Commerce to promote their rapid growth.

The main official roads are built into cement roads, and track horse-drawn trucks will also be built in some places to facilitate cargo transportation.

The Ming Dynasty newspaper in the three places was taken over by Zhang Hao to promote the new policies of the three places.

"The Jiangnan Army recruits new recruits, requiring between the ages of 18 and 25, no limit on men and women, and those who know literacy and number are preferred!"

"This time, recruiting new recruits follows the principle of will. Those who meet the conditions will freely decide whether to register!"

"Once a registered person becomes a soldier, he will be exempted from all taxes from his individuals, exempt from his family's taxes for one year, three meals a day, food and accommodation, and military pay will be paid every month..."

"All the soldiers of the Jiangnan Army are regular soldiers, and will not participate in military farming and receive training tasks every day... Our profession is to defend our country!"

A recruitment report was reported in the Ming Dynasty.

The Jiangnan Army is the new army established by Zhang Hao.

At present, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in this Jiangnan army, all of which are elite soldiers, but it is not enough. New blood is needed to be replenished and scaled up.

The Jiangnan Army has an army and a navy. Among them, the navy is the focus of current construction, because it is necessary to encircle and suppress pirates and Japanese pirates and protect maritime trade.

For ordinary people, new recruits are treated very generously.

Therefore, there are many people who come to sign up.

Successful registration does not mean that you can become a member of the Jiangnan Army. You can only officially join by passing the training assessment.
