Chapter 742 Preparing to convene the first national generals conference
The successful navigation of steam ironclad ships means the successful use of steam engines. This is the technology tree that Zhu Ying forcibly raised. In fact, outside of the application of steam engines to steam ironclad ships, no one has realized that this can also be applied to other fields.
In fact, when steam engines began to become more and more popular, even if Zhu Ying did not say it, others would think that Zhu Ying could shorten this time. After staying here in Shanghai County for one night, the grandfather and grandson took the Dinghai cruise again.
After the ship returned to the capital, Zhu Ying was not in a hurry to start coal mining, but called Liu Sanwu over.
"Meet His Highness Taisun."
With a look of haggardness on Liu Sanwu's face, Zhu Ying asked with concern: "Recently, I have been too tired in preparing for the university. There is no need to be in such a hurry. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Liu Sanwu bowed and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Taisun. I have been compiling textbooks with other bachelors recently, so I have wasted a lot of energy."
But I would have been stupid enough to engage in teaching and educating people at that time.
Mei Shurou is young, and her ability to accept new things has become worse, but I know that this is something that Taisun Palace attaches great importance to, and it must be ignored.
"There are only a few hundred people outside a small theater for a show, but sometimes there are more than a thousand. These actors are shouting at the top of their lungs, but you can hear them vaguely.
Everyone knows that the great-grandson's body is the most comfortable, as it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Guo Zhong smiled and said to Liu Shangshu: "He was by your side before, writing orders to you.
That was Tai Sun's decree, how could you be so cautious? "So you decided to set up the subject of steam engines in primary schools. That is the top priority of primary schools now."
The Haili vassal king has gone to 70,000 people, Tubo has gone to 70,000, Annan has gone to nearly 80,000, and the ocean fleet has gone to 10,000. It happened overnight. Zhu Ying immediately took the order and went to the front hall to call for people.
It's not even less than double what it is now. "Hongwu eighty-seventh year, August 11th."
Guo Zhong gave me a few words. I am also worried that at Mei Shurou's age, she would die suddenly if she was too careless.
Guo Zhong said with a smile: "That doesn't matter. He didn't write an order for you, but he also guarded it every day. Besides, it was a matter of daytime and an evening matter."
Mei Shurou said with a heavy voice. At the same time, she rarely had the opportunity to listen to the Holy Grace. Whenever there was a war, especially when the Beijing army sent out most of the elites and the local army was small.
"Come here and help you write an edict. Zhu Ying will serve you with pen and ink."
I didn’t call Liu Sanwu here this time to supervise this matter.”
Guo Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Bad idea, you can go and take a look tomorrow. If it is feasible, then renovate the East Palace."
After all, what Zhu Ying requested was not the previous Four Books and Five Classics, but also many textbooks on other subjects.
To figure out the Holy Will is something that all ministers who can go to the Fengtian Palace have to do, and the trend reported in the Capital Residence doubtless represents the latest policy direction.
The garrison troops that defended the northern Mongolian cavalry were deployed in nine military towns starting from the Yalu River in the east and reaching Jiayuguan in the west. These were the border troops known as the "Four Sides" in history.
“Not comfortable.”
Others like Uzang, Guangxi, and Yunnan also have no border soldiers in the border areas.
At this time, the Mongols simply forced the soldiers who knew how to swim and were seasick off the ship, and attacked them weakly. Zhu Ying quickly went to get the silk and suddenly thought: "But that will make other sisters think that you occupy the palace."
Time."
Of course, all the guard stations are full-staffed with 7,800 people, but that number is not nearly two million. Including military households, there are more than one million people. Mei Shu said without feeling depressed: "
You plan to convene a small military meeting of Xiao Ming’s thousands of households, but at least a thousand of them will participate.”
Mei Shu bowed and obeyed the order before taking the palace eunuch out. The reason why so few people were needed was naturally related to Xiao Ming's control over Haixia.
Mei Shu's heart moved, she frowned slightly, and then told Zhu Ying: "Go and call Concubine Jin.
Now, regardless of whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Guo Zhong, they are gradually delegating power to the DPRK meetings. It is not like in the past, when very few things are discussed under the DPRK meetings.
Seeing that no one was present, Liu Shangshu saluted the soldiers in the capital. Based on the reforms of the past few years, the concept of a professional army has not been basically evolved. Our military pay is taken care of by the national treasury. Normally, we only need
Stop retreating to practice, and it is necessary to retreat to work in the fields.
As the president of the university, Liu Sanwu needs to be somewhat familiar with all subjects. At such an old age, he will naturally be a little tired.
"When there is a meeting, you will have to shout at the top of your lungs. It will be too troublesome for people to convey the message, and it will delay things. The Navy and the Army are the same, and few armies can directly be regarded as the Navy, otherwise it will be
The situation occurred when the Mongols conquered the Japanese country.
In particular, Guo Zhong, an official in the capital's residence newspaper, said: "The role of the steam engine is only reflected in the ship. He cannot regard me as a tired servant. As long as there is no suitable way, I
I can always help with things.”
The local army is mainly divided into eight small groups: guards, frontiers, and militia. The regular script is square in shape and straight in strokes, while Liu Shangshu's writing lacks a bit of beauty.
I haven't participated in it, but I have heard of it.
One guard has a strength of 7,800, and the capital does not have 700,000 soldiers to defend it. It is also Xiao Ming's most elite army.
Xu Miaojin took a look and said, "The silence is about food, which is also a problem that Xiao Ming needs to consider now. The border soldiers refer to the soldiers stationed at Xiao Ming's border gates. We cannot say that they are the elite of the guard army."
It should be the correct process to have white words on a piece of paper and stamp it with a seal.
Liu Shangshu was very depressed when he heard this: "It's bad."
There are no ordinary dark lines under the silk, which are ordinary anti-counterfeiting marks of that era, and there are no such anti-counterfeiting marks under the Xiaoming banknotes.
"The writing is wrong." Guo Zhong praised Liu Sanwu and now he belongs to the ranks of ministers, so he changed the name from Liu Hanlin to Liu Sanwu and directly canceled the guard system. This is something only a fool would do. You must know that in the guard, except for soldiers,
There are not a small number of military households here.
The current total strength of the Navy is around 700,000, and Guo Zhong plans to expand it to 700,000. There are no local soldiers in the northwest, no Miao soldiers in Yunnan, no chieftain soldiers such as wolf soldiers, and no monk soldiers such as Duolin Temple and mining soldiers.
, the salt of the Salt Division "As I said before, it is true that the control of military power has to be weakened recently."
For example, regarding matters related to the army, no other officials can discuss it carefully now, and there is no way for the Ministry of War to report to His Majesty or Grandson on their own retreat. Xu Miaojin left with the order.
"Your Majesty."
On the contrary, the majesty is constantly deepening. I am a true master of calligraphy. In my eyes, of course, the handwriting still has no flaws. It is very different from Wei Suo. The imperial courts have paid attention to it. Now, with the development of sea trade, it is gradually
After the expansion, it has not surpassed the momentum of the local army.
Guo Zhong's reorganization of the army mainly focused on Xiao Ming's army in the Beijing army. It mainly consisted of two small groups: the Beijing army and the local army. "Thank you for your compliments," Liu Shangshu replied with a smile.
We are in the military household system, but we can be recruited even if there is no war. During normal training, we have to pay for the food and supplies. We can get rewards even if we have military pay but have achieved military merit. "Go ahead, Xiao Ming, you don't have that steam armored ship, so the transportation speed is even slower."
Victory, national power rises, which is a sign of prosperity. "Mei Shurou, the Minister of Education, has been given full authority to supervise matters related to the steam engine subject in primary schools. I have prepared to prepare for the establishment of Xiaoming's various health centers and command them so that Xiaohui can be an army or be divided into the capital."
My father, a member of Bi Yinguo's generation, served in the Beijing Army. Basically, about 40% of them received very poor accommodation. Even those who could not be accommodated due to personal circumstances, the allowances were quite generous.
As for matters such as people's livelihood, they are basically handled by each ministry on their own. If they are brought to the court like this, they will only be ridiculed by other officials, and they will also be reprimanded by His Majesty for their inability to do things.
After a while, Liu Shangshu came over and saw that everyone was gone. Liu Shangshu was also hiding, and he directly stuck to Mei Shu's body. In his previous life, he was called the Militia, but now he is called the Volunteer Army.
Although there have been few reforms in the local military system since then, there is nothing that can be done about farming.
Our lives are all dependent on the health system. If we rashly introduce small reforms, there is a very small chance that Xiao Ming will be shaken. In reality, there are less than 700,000.
Guo Zhong shook his head and said: "You know, in the hands of the emperor, military power is the key. Now the military and political leaders no longer have the ability to interfere with military power. That will be the same as in the future."
Isn't that why I am so happy if I have a trumpet? The total number of Xiao Ming's Liwei is not more than eight or seven hundred. The Liwei is relatively famous and is also Xiao Ming's most important frontier soldier.
"For example, mining, weaving, spinning, and even agriculture do not play a very small role."
Zhu Di and other seven vassal kings are also very small. The Beijing army is equipped with 10,000 people, and the local army is equipped with tens of thousands of people. "Liu Sanwu can set up a large working group to solve matters related to the steam engine discipline. Liu Sanwu is mainly responsible for grasping the direction and following up."
Just retreat."
In such a transformation, the emperor became more and more mysterious to his ministers. Xu Miaojin naturally understood and replied: "Thank you, Grandson, for your concern. I understand."
"Maybe we can't refer to it."
Then he told Zhu Ying: "Let them all go out.
Even though the top of his head is about to be buried, Xu Miaojin still thinks about losing two years of life. Guo Zhong dictated, and Liu Shangshu immediately wrote it down, using regular script and Mei Shu thinking as he spoke.
Concubine Jin is not Liu Shangshu, she is teaching, and she is looking for death. Due to Guo Zhong's decisive intervention, corruption is no longer as rampant outside the guard station as before, and the lives of military households have been greatly ruined.
Especially before the implementation of the conscription system, many elderly soldiers in the Shaojing Army were sent to various regional security departments and security offices.
It was mainly an education and training for the current generals, and it was also an ideological construction. The Guan Guards were mainly in important military areas in the Xiaoming hinterland. A small number of them were not field soldiers. They participated in the war during the war and were busy with farming during the farming season.
Xu Miaojin was not confused because she knew that at that time, her grandson suddenly called Concubine Jin to make a steam engine.
.”
Mei Shurou and Guo Zhong, who were upstairs, asked: "There are no four hexagrams in the front palace recently. Let me tell you.
So Guo Zhong thought of asking Liu Shangshu to write for him and immediately replied: "Please worry about your Majesty Taisun, I will do my best to supervise this matter.
If there is a shortage of men in the capital, the troops will naturally be raised. In addition, the number of soldiers in the capital is about 800,000.
Zhu Ying, including Zhu Ying, is basically literate. Even if there is no one who knows a little bit, even Guo Zhong's writing is probably like "Why is your majesty frowning, but there is nothing to worry about." Accompanying Guo Zhong
Liu Shangshu asked softly: In the early Ming Dynasty, there were no seventy-four guards in the Beijing army. In those years, as the national treasury became abundant, they continued to retreat and expand their troops. No more seventeen guards were involved in the war. The main ones mobilized were not
The small number of guards are unconventional troops legally established by local forces. When Xu Huizu went there, the capital arranged 70,000 elite troops to go first. I myself brought thousands of personal guards and officers, and then the local army gathered 700,000 soldiers.
, such a regressive combination.
"The reason why I called Liu Shangshu here this time is related to the steam engine. I think Liu Shangshu already knows about it."
No navy yet.
Of course I knew that Guo Zhong's calligraphy was not bad. He basically relied on oral instructions when delivering orders. Only then did I suddenly realize that that was not so bad.
"Today's steam engines still have major flaws in a few aspects, such as consuming too little coal, emitting too little cooling capacity, etc., so you need fewer talents to improve the steam engine."
After hearing this, Liu Shangshu said: "You don't have any ideas. Before entering the palace, you often went to the theater to listen to plays. Because of the male family members, you could only stay in the private room downstairs, which was relatively far away.
Guo Zhong nodded and said: "It's because he worries too much and takes everything out of his hands, whether he does bad things or not. It's just like the previous court meetings."
Liu Shangshu thought for a while: "A few of them are trivial matters. I haven't told you recently how your majesty, grandson, manages the government, or how it will affect the majesty of the royal family."
Therefore, the navy that Guo Zhong wants to summon must first and foremost understand the nature of water, and cultivate certain knowledge of underwater emergency response, such as emergency response drills when encountering storms, drills for boarding battles, etc. Xu Miaojin nodded and replied: "
I heard that your Majesty and the grandson went to Xiahai County yesterday and returned to the capital today. The speed of the steam-armored ship is really evident.
In the field of calligraphy and painting, even Ye Yueqing was not as bad as Liu Shangshu said. When the soldiers arrived at their destination, their combat effectiveness declined slightly.
It is very difficult for oral instructions to be transmitted and implemented, and it is also very difficult for people to adapt them.
