Ye Chunqiu didn't expect Ashikaga Yoshisai to ask him even this, but he also saw that Ashikaga Yoshifumi had a flattering mind, and he didn't feel disgusted, and then said: "The training of the Japanese army is a model, you might as well use the name of the model new army, if all the military systems are similar to the new army of Zhenguo." ” Ashikaga Yoshisai wrote it down, didn't say good or bad, and boarded the car.
Model New Army Ye Chunqiu watched Ashikaga Yoshisai's carriage go away, and thought to himself, the name of the model is exactly what he wants.
It was the first step in the foreign policy of the Zhenguo government, or rather, it was the first attempt of the Zhenguo government to the outside world, not only in terms of trade and the promise of a policy of protection for the general's mansion in the conquest of the Great General, but even the new army, which was also the first of its kind.
Ye Chunqiu had great expectations for this model, in places with large populations such as the West and the East, it was not necessary to expand the territory, after all, to rule such a large population, it was easy for the invaders to fall into a quagmire, rather than this, it was advisable to adopt this system.
Therefore, Ye Chunqiu very much hopes that the Wa State will become a model of cooperation with the Zhenguo Government, and once the model of the Wa State is established, then there will be a second, third, and fourth next Ye Chunqiu finished seeing Ashikaga Yoshisai, so he entered the palace the next day and told Zhu Houzhao about it.
Zhu Houzhao's first reaction was to show surprise, and even said with some concern: "If you give the rifle to the Japanese people, aren't you afraid of raising tigers?"
Ye Chunqiu had long thought that the little emperor would ask this, so he had already been prepared to explain it well.
"No, it won't."
Ye Chunqiu said: "The ministers are giving people fish, because if they have gold and silver, they can get guns and bullets, so in the future, most of the shogunate's expenses will be spent on guns and bullets, so they can be said to be powerless for production; And the Japanese have always been interested in the magic weapon, if the town government does not supply guns and ammunition, they will instead smash the pot and sell iron, try all kinds of means, get the technology to make rifles, will try their best to open workshops, train craftsmen, although these skills are extremely difficult, want to master thoroughly, without decades of hard work can not break through, but once they are desperate, the future is not easy to say, rather than let them buy all the resources, it is better than let them go to great lengths to build, not to mention that they only need to buy, It is equivalent to cultivating craftsmen and talents for our Ming Dynasty, really, prospering the town and the country, so that the town and the government can worry about it, hire more people to improve the process, and continue to accumulate technology, why not" After listening to Ye Chunqiu's words, Zhu Houzhao felt that it made sense, according to Ye Chunqiu, in this matter, Da Ming had more benefits.
Zhu Houzhao's face finally softened a little, and said: "I see, if you think it's feasible, let's do it, remember, the guns and ammunition in the Zhenguo Mansion can't be sold cheaply." ” Ye Chunqiu smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, with Sun Da's shopkeeper here, he won't suffer." ” Zhu Houzhao stretched his waist, showing a little laziness, and said: "How is Qinhuangdao now, I haven't seen you for a few months, I don't know what progress is going on now."
The situation in Qinhuangdao will appear on Ye Chunqiu's desk almost every once in a while, so although Ye Chunqiu may not have been to Qinhuangdao for a long time, he probably knows some of the situation, so he said: "The main facilities of Qinhuangdao have been perfected, the lighthouse, the port, and the dock can be said to be readily available, and the cement road is now close to being built around the island, and there are" Ye Chunqiu made a report on the situation in Qinhuangdao, and now Qinhuangdao has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes now, nearly one million taels of silver, the imperial court has smashed into the annual harvest for half a year, recruited countless skilled craftsmen, it has taken more than half a year, since ancient times, the ability of the central dynasty to build a large project has always been explosive, from the Great Wall to the Forbidden City, and then to the river, this kind of project of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people can be well organized, the knowledge involved here is not small, It is extremely difficult to organize so many people to work, you must know that the Yuan Dynasty at that time led to a huge rebellion because of the unfavorable governance of the river, and completely buried the Mongol dynasty.
Fortunately, in this regard, the Han people have a lot of ready-made experience, and the Zhenguo government is willing to give money and grain, so the current situation in Qinhuangdao can be described as making rapid progress.
The construction of the road around the island made Ye Chunqiu breathe a sigh of relief, because this road is passed, which means that the future development will be easier, the port and wharf have been built, and now there are countless ships with various materials to land on the island, and the water village of the sailor division has also been built, there are both ports for civilian ships, there are also special military ports, and the forts have been established.
Zhu Houzhao listened, and the lazy look in his expression gradually faded, and he said quite fascinatedly: "I really want to go again, but unfortunately, I am seasick, haha" Ye Chunqiu thought of Zhu Houzhao's seasickness, and he was also helpless, so he said on another topic: "Now that the dock has been built, the construction of the ship is imminent, the minister has drawn a lot of sketches, and the materials of Zheng He's trip to the West have all been sent to the research institute, and the plan is now being discussed, and there will be results soon." ” "Is it" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows: "When will it be made?"
Ye Chunqiu said with a smile: "This first ship is just for people to practice, so I don't dare to be too aggressive, for fear that Your Majesty will be disappointed when he sees it, so it's better not to see it." ” The drawings provided by Ye Chunqiu are the so-called wooden battleships built by the British two or three hundred years later, when the British had reached the pinnacle of sailing technology, and their cruisers, usually three-masted galleons with a displacement of between 1,700 and 3,000 tons, were nearly double the displacement of the current Portuguese ships, carrying between 300 and 500 people.
At the same time, the number of guns on the armed deck of three to four layers is generally between 74 and 120, relatively speaking, the firepower can also reach twice the number of Dutch ships, considering the superb metallurgical level of the Zhenguo government, and the lighter and thinner artillery, it may be the same warship, which can carry about 150 guns.
This kind of cruiser has almost reached the limit of a wooden battleship, it has a stronger ability to resist wind and waves, faster speed, better firepower, and more powerful armor, after all, it is a product of two or three hundred years apart, if it can really be built, although it is also a wooden battleship, but Ye Chunqiu can completely guarantee that the new type of battleship can easily hang the current Franc machine ship. aa2705221:
