Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

The two of them talked all the way to Wenyuan Pavilion, the administrative center of Daming.

Lu Xiangsheng, Li Yan, and Li Chengyan were drinking tea in the cabinet, planning how to continue defrauding people. The sudden arrival of Emperor Chongzhen interrupted the discussion of the three.

Raising his hand to stop the three people who wanted to salute, Emperor Chongzhen sat down on the chair next to him and said, "I think the three lovers know what happened on the continent in the Far East. The think tank should also give the results of the discussion, right?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the result of the think tank's deduction is that after winning that piece of land, at least within a hundred years or even 300 years, Ming will no longer need to worry about the problem of insufficient land."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "That's it. Since we are going to fight this time, we will completely eliminate all those barbarians. That's what I mean, take the opportunity to take the entire continent over there, and then Slowly start emigrating."

As soon as the conversation changed, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Wu Ganlai, Shangshu of the Household Department: "Wu Aiqing, is there any problem with the Household Department?"

Unlike Guo Yunhou who tried his best to save money, Wu Ganlai paid attention to spending within his means: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the treasury will have a balance of 500 million taels of silver after deducting all the expenditures for this war."

Wu Ganlai's meaning is very simple, you still have 500 million taels of silver to squander. If it exceeds this number by one tael, then I'm sorry, there is no money in the national treasury, and you need to make up for it yourself.

After humming, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "What about the Ministry of Industry? Can we make improvements to the current Fuchuan? I intend to build a railway on the continent in the far east, just like Annan and others."

Zhang Yingxuan bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, if each ship transports a steam locomotive, although the current Fuchuan is a little bit reluctant, it can still do it. If a large number of rails and locomotives are transported, changes must be made.

It's just that since the design and construction of Fuchuan, almost no changes have been made.If a large number of railways are to be built there, regardless of the labor problem or the Ministry of Railways, the supply of locomotives, carriages and rails is a big problem.

Just like Xinming Island, the railway on Xinming Island is probably less than five hundred miles away, right?In my humble opinion, it is better to build the city directly there, and set up a separate workshop to build it, so as to avoid the cost of transportation back and forth. "

Hearing Zhang Yingxuan mention the railway on Xinming Island, Emperor Chongzhen also remembered it.

Zhu Yujian's scumbags have written to himself more than once, wanting to set up a workshop on Xinming Island, so that the Royal Academy can send someone there to teach how to produce steam locomotives, and these scumbags are even willing to bear all the construction costs.

The memorial was kept by the Emperor Chongzhen—it was not because they were afraid that these scumbags would rebel after their strength increased. After all, no matter how hard they tossed there, they would be alone overseas. As long as there was no arsenal, they would not be able to cause much trouble.

The real reason is that Daming's own railway has not been completed. Although workshops in various places are constantly being built, the output is really impressive.

Not to mention that there is a surplus, it is not enough to supply Daming himself. How can there be time to go to Xinming Island to build a workshop?

After exposing this topic, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "By the way, in the opinion of all my dear ones, what should be the name of that continent?"

PS: The 4000 words of the second update are here.8000 words have been updated today, it's really hard work!

Chapter 742 Multi-Rivet Steamed Steel

Regarding the name of such a continent, Lu Xiangsheng and others chose to agree by default.

Although this kind of thing of naming the new continent is enough to go down in history, don't forget your own identity - minister.

The emperor is still there, and he is the real emperor with great military and political power in his hands. Even if Emperor Chongzhen likes to call that piece of land a shit continent, that's up to Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, if he really took such a fucking name, it would be impossible to immigrate there in the future.

"The shit mainland is going to immigrate, are you going?"

"Ah bah! I'm a majestic Yanhuang Miao descendant, go to the shit mainland? I can't afford to lose this person. Even if I starve to death in Daming, I will never go to the shit mainland!"

This scenario is not impossible, but highly likely.

After deliberating for a while, Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no definite number for the vastness of that continent. Non-human ministers can name it. Your Majesty, please give it a name?"

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "Since ancient times, there has been Penglai in the east of Dao, and Zulong sent Xu Fu there to find immortal medicines, and it is said in "Liezi·Tang Wen" that there are hundreds of millions of miles to the east of the Bohai Sea, and there is a big ravine. But the bottomless valley has no bottom below it, and it is called Guixu.

The water of eight strings and nine fields, the stream of heaven and Han, all pour into it, without increasing or decreasing.Among them are five mountains: one is Daiyu, the other is Yuanqiao, the third is Fanghu, the fourth is Yingzhou, and the fifth is Penglai.

Since Daiyu and Yuanqiao flowed to the North Pole, Dongying appeared in the world, and the square pot did not exist, so why not call this place Penglaizhou. "

Even if the name of Penglaizhou is decided, as for how to divide the states and counties in the future, and how to divide the territory of the vassal kings, that is a matter for the cabinet and the clan mansion.

If you immigrate there in the future, if you say that it is such a prestigious name as Penglai, the common people will probably be willing to do so, and it will not be as offensive as taking the name of a shitty mainland.

As soon as the name of Penglaizhou was decided, the head of Jinyiwei, Wang Xingguo, hurried to find the cabinet.

As early as three years after Chongzhen, Jinyiwei, who was in charge of the overseas part, was active overseas like wild dogs out of Xinjiang, and even Europe had the shadow of Jinyiwei.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen decided to hate those barbarians, Wang Xingguo, who was part of Jinyiwei's overseas chief, also began to sort out the information sent back by Jinyiwei, and some of the information about Europe aroused Wang Xingguo's interest.

Judging from the news sent back by Jin Yiwei, the whole of Europe is now about to beat people's brains into dog brains, and the number of people killed in battle has skyrocketed. If it continues for a few more years, these barbarians can play themselves to death.

After taking the information and letting the think tank deduce it first, Wang Xingguo came to Emperor Chongzhen with the information of Jin Yiwei and the deduction results of the think tank.

The news from the think tank was not as optimistic as Jin Yiwei.

According to the deduction of the think tank, even if the barbarians in Europe beat people's brains into pig brains, they will calm down the war in the near future.

Among them, France, which has the strongest combat power, has begun to shift its focus, drawing a large number of soldiers out of the battlefield, and placing its focus on New France. England is also withdrawing a large number of troops, and its focus has also begun to shift to New England.

Because no matter who is in the whole of Europe, it is impossible to bear the continuous war and the consequences of a large number of deaths. The war will eventually compromise, and the greatest possibility will be around 20 years after Chongzhen, that is, next year. Just end this war.

The biggest reason is that the Holy Roman Empire is weak, and the entire battlefield is retreating steadily. Once Rome, which cannot bear it first, admits defeat, this war that has lasted for more than [-] years will end.

The opinion of the think tank is that now that Ming Dynasty has set its sights on the Penglai continent in the far east, the life and death of Europe should be left alone for the time being. Instead, it should take advantage of this period of time to give support to some European countries.

For example, the Holy Roman Empire, which is at a disadvantage, must have wanted to seek peace for a long time. After being slapped in the face by countries such as Sweden and France, Ferdinand III must not mind buying a large amount of arms from Ming Dynasty. Slap them in the face.

Well, there is nothing wrong with this judgment!

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a little ignorant, for example, he didn't understand the 5000-year history of his family, and he didn't have much interest in the hundreds of years of history of those barbarians, but he still knew the final result.

Countries such as Sweden and France still exist in later generations, but the Holy Roman Empire has long been over and disappeared in the long river of history.

Now that we know that the Holy Roman Empire will be ruined, we might as well support them now, such as selling them a lot of ammunition, firecrackers and cannons at a low price, and talk to them with drugs, what will happen? What about the effect?

In fact, according to the think tank, even if it doesn't make money, Ming should provide a batch of arms and weapons to the Holy Roman Empire.

Because as long as Ming provided arms to the Holy Roman Empire, there was no possibility of losing money—as long as the Holy Roman Empire tasted the sweetness of Ming's arms, how many years would they endure the anger of being bullied?They won't fight back?

Once the Holy Roman Empire counterattacks, it can obtain a large amount of silver coins through countries such as Ruihuang and France, and then buy more arms from Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for the allied forces of Sweden and France, who have been harassed, not to care about where these arms come from, and they will definitely find a way to contact Ming to buy them.

If the same arms were sold to two companies, would Daming still lose money?

The only problem is probably how to contact the Holy Roman Empire before the end of the European barbarian war, otherwise, the Holy Roman Empire will be killed by people, and it will not be very meaningful by then.

After throwing the deduction and analysis report in his hand to the cabinet, Emperor Chongzhen said: "What do you think, my loves?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "If you look at the results of the think tank's deduction, it is natural to give a lot of support to the Holy Roman Empire, even if it is to provide them with arms first.

But if this batch of arms was given to the Holy Roman Empire too easily, it might not care much.

In my opinion, it is better to send envoys to negotiate with them, and order them to use tariffs, commercial taxes, etc. as guarantees, or sign other agreements, such as the Kyushu Island Agreement, and then provide them with military ammunition. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, indicating that he was clear.
