Ming dynasty grand dude

Chapter 344 still lacks a bit of killing spirit, and all walks of life are slow to take the stage

It can be seen that these men are staring angrily at the muskets with sharp bayonets hanging on them, and they are so direct to kill those scarecrows in anger!

All this is to see that the bear boy Zhu Houzhao is so passionate that he almost wants to jump down and fight side by side with those soldiers.

"It lacks a bit of murderous spirit, but other than that, it's basically fine."

Zhang Xiaogong's pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms were as calm as ever, not at all as excited as Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback when he saw this, and then sighed, "Brother Hu, I really envy you for being able to go to the battlefield..."

"Even if I go out of the palace, countless people will follow, let alone go to the battlefield and the capital will not be able to get out."

Grandpa Zhang blinked at the pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms, looked at him with a smile and sighed softly, "War...will kill people."

"That's not a game, it's a living life..."

Patting the bear on the shoulder, Grandpa Zhang looked at him with those pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms seriously and said word by word.

"His Royal Highness will succeed in the future. I hope His Highness can understand that wars should not be started lightly, but the empire cannot be humiliated lightly!"

"If it is necessary to fight, the lion, the eagle, and the rabbit will do their best! Put them to death, there is no woman's kindness!"

It seemed that it was the first time that Brother Hu spoke to him so seriously, and the bear boy Xiao Zhu nodded very seriously.

Looking at Yu Chihu, he said firmly, "Brother Hu, I will remember it!"

"Wars should not be started lightly, and the empire should not be humiliated lightly! If a war breaks out, you will do your best to die! Don't have the kindness of a woman!!"

In fact, looking at the soldiers of the National Defense Forces below, Grandpa Zhang was also feeling emotional.

It is no wonder that in history, kings, generals, and famous generals and advisers are unwilling to train a large number of troops, and generally adopt the model of elite soldiers.

It is really too expensive to train soldiers, and it is even more expensive to train soldiers and raise soldiers.

Especially for training and raising elite soldiers, the money is like splashing water!

The Imperial Royal Defense Force, which has been supplemented to 2 people, now starts with three thousand catties of gunpowder burned in gunpowder and cannon practice every day.

It's a good thing that the twenty large Qin-level battle-axe-style heavy artillery didn't fire much, otherwise the burned gunpowder would be even more terrifying!

The twenty guns were only for the equipped artillerymen to test the guns, so that they could adapt to the roar of the giant guns and the air waves caused by the strong recoil.

Even so, many of these gunners who had experience in firing giant cannons were so frightened that they wet their pants when they fired for the first time...

In addition to these consumptions, the National Defense Forces are now professional soldiers with salary and monthly silver.

Lieutenant pawns received one qian silver and two dou of brown rice, war soldiers received two qian silver and three dou of brown rice, and fierce soldiers received two qian silver and five dou of brown rice.

At the level of sergeants, the division is more detailed. Junior sergeants start with three renminbi and five dou of brown rice, and each level increases by one renminbi to grant rice.

The mid-level sergeant received silver four qian and awarded rice five dou, and each rank increased by one qian.But their grant rice is converted to stem rice.

The monthly silver of a lieutenant officer is relatively high, starting with one, two or three coins but no rice.

The lieutenant pays one tael or six money, and the captain directly pays two taels.

It was also from the lieutenants that they no longer received rice grains, but paid directly in silver.

The school officer's money is relatively high, just start with three taels and jump two taels per level.

The colonel can be equipped with an exclusive carriage, the thickness of which can block a certain flow of arrows and facilitate walking on the battlefield.

Although the money and rice grains given are not a lot, the advantage is that all three meals a day are included in the barracks.

Since it is to train soldiers, the expense of meat is naturally indispensable, and breakfast meat cakes and soy milk can be made vigorously.

Lunch and dinner are two meals, one meat and two vegetables, and you can eat cakes and rice porridge casually.

After confiscating the wealth of the big grain merchants, and having the grain shipped from Yizhou, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became much richer.

There are millions of shi of grain, nearly 50 taels of gold, and 800 million taels of silver in hand...

Emperor Hongzhi felt that he had never been so rich before, and the feeling of being a rich old man... It's so damn good!

In addition to his own internal treasury, Emperor Hongzhi first asked the household department to transfer half of the benefits to the military department with a wave of his hand.

There are some people in the household department who are aggrieved and want to play, but they are? Crispy Yongcoffin x Play?

And in the final analysis, the household department has already taken a lot of benefits, and the family ransacked the house before and after to make a bottom-up account of millions of shi of grain.

In addition to those gold and silver treasures, many houses that belonged to criminal officials and grain merchants were sold.

Calculated before and after, it is almost worth tens of millions of taels of silver, which is almost more than the annual tax of the entire Ming Empire.

Bai Ang Laobai of the Ministry of Punishment now also feels that ransacking the house is the best way to get rich!

His Majesty and the Ministry of Households have made money, and his Ministry of Punishment has also shared a profit.

Although part of its authority has been stripped, the Ministry of Justice has not yet been confirmed.

Everyone is waiting to see if Fang Xinzhi, the local chronicler, can settle down the matter of the Xiang Xu Department of Education. If he can, then the Department of Law can consider candidates.

There are only so many veterans in the court, and it is not easy to find a suitable candidate.

So for the time being, the Department of Law cannot be divided, let alone the Department of Criminal Investigation.

Few people have experience, so it has not been officially divided yet, and Lao Bai is in charge.

It is estimated that when the Minister of Criminal Affairs is selected next, two ministers will be considered to be in charge of a department.

After the old guy entered the Senate, he officially split the Ministry of Punishment into two departments.

The capital is still relatively calm, but Dai Yi's side is immediately jittery.

Ever since Emperor Hongzhi told him about the Dardanelles and three hundred warships, the old guy's eyes were red.

The construction of the fort is almost day and night, and the whole person is directly on the construction site without letting go.

Dozens of prisoners who were sent to build the fort just died of exhaustion on the construction site in just over a month. It's a pity that Boss Dai didn't care about these things at all.

He is staring at the fort now, and even feeds these prisoners a decent meal.

However, work and heavy work must be done, so Emperor Hongzhi gave him the right to deploy Jinmenwei.

The only requirement is that the fort must be built as soon as possible! !

It is not enough to have guns, it must be set up in Jinmen, guarded by the Royal Defense Force who he watched and practiced with his own eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that only in this way could he sleep peacefully.

The two shipyards of Qingjiang and Weihe were directly watched by Emperor Hongzhi's internal officials. After all, Liu Daxia handed over those blueprints.

The blueprint was not destroyed, even at that time he only said it was "lost".

At that time, the civil servants were also pondering that it would be better to keep hiding if they gave it out to make the eunuch powerful.

Old Liu still didn't dare to burn him down. What if these ships and charts were really needed? !

With the blueprints of sea-going ships, the two major shipyards got money again, so naturally they made efforts to resume building giant boats.

And... His Majesty has sent someone to watch over it, which means it's not a small matter!I dare not lose my strength...

.

Chapter 345 The Jinmen Fort finally succeeded, and the truth is attached to the performance

When Emperor Hongzhi got off his exclusive carriage, he could hardly believe that standing in front of him was the familiar Dai Yi.

Today's Dai Yi looks like an old farmer who has been farming for many years even though he is wearing an official robe.

Compared with when he fought side by side with Young Master Zhang, he lost a whole lot of weight.

His skin is as dark as an old fisherman who has been in the sea all year round. The sea breeze cracked his originally fair and tender skin and restored it to give birth to calluses.

"Gong Zhulou..." Emperor Hongzhi's eyes turned red when he saw Dai Yi's appearance.

Others didn't know, but he knew how much pressure Dai Yi was working under during this time.

High-intensity construction work is bound to be followed by accidents. These Hanlin, servants, grain merchants... are not good at all.

During this period of time, there were only four or five cases of turmoil caused by their homework, including killings and suppression.

Including those who died of exhaustion and accidents on the construction site, there are nearly a thousand people in total!

Because of this incident, Dai Yi caused a great uproar in Shilin, and many people even rolled up their sleeves and wrote letters to impeach him.

Even many people in the court had written letters to impeach him, but Emperor Hongzhi stood firmly on Dai Yi's side.

He knew very well why Dai Yi did this, which was actually the reason why he sent Dai Yi to do it.

Because Emperor Hongzhi knew that only Dai Yi would not hesitate in this matter and carry out his will to the end.

On this point, Xiao Jing and Qian Neng can actually do it.

But one of them needs to be by his side and control Dongchang, and the other needs to help him defend Yizhou.

"Thanks for your hard work!!"

It was a hard work for this sentence, and Dai Yi, who had a frosty face, burst into tears.

The pressure he has been under these days is really too great, several times he has hardened his heart and gritted his teeth to do it.

Dai Yi still remembered that night, Emperor Hongzhi specially called him to the martial arts training room of the Ouchi martial arts eunuch.

Informed him of all these situations, and even handed over all the texts and compositions to him.

Then he asked him very seriously, would he like to build the Jinmen Fort? !

"The empire was handed down from the great ancestor to my hands, but only a hundred and fifty years..."

"China's civilization has lasted for thousands of years. If it is ruined in the hands of the empire... I and you will all be sinners through the ages!"

Who is Dai Yi? !He is an elegant person who can give himself the word "Bamboo House", and he has always prided himself on being elegant.

Now that Huaxia Wentong is facing the danger of foreign enemies killing his family and genocide, his martial arts and martial arts skills have suddenly recovered!

At that time, what Dai Yi left for Emperor Hongzhi was "Even if the minister died in Jinmen, this fort must be built!!"

At that time, only five cannons had been cast, and Dai Yi led his men to pull these prisoners together and began to build them.

Dai Yi did it, but at a great price.

Patting Dai Yi on the shoulder, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the fort with emotion.

This fort looks extremely magnificent from a distance, and it stretches for several miles.

The five open-air forts tightly choked every corner of the estuary, and even the open-air forts were built with canopies.

There are also potholes paved with large stone strips and cement below, and gun emplacements are also placed in the pits.

At this time, a huge Qin-level battle-axe-style heavy coastal defense gun had already been placed on the fort.

In order to transport these heavy artillery to this fort, the entire ordnance construction bureau spent a full ten days.

The Daqin-level coastal defense artillery was brought here by a specially designed and custom-made carriage for these heavy artillery.

No way, this cannon is too big, too long and too heavy.

If it is an ordinary chariot and horse, it will collapse at all.

In order for the cannon to be delivered, all the master craftsmen of the construction bureau gathered together to make countless drawings and deduce it many times.

The car must not be too heavy, otherwise it will require too much animal power, and the result will be half the effort.

But the carriage must be strong enough, otherwise such a heavy cannon mount will fall apart if it moves a little.

The all-steel frame with wheels came into being under such circumstances.

What Little Grandpa Zhang didn't expect at all was that these craftsmen actually built a steel frame carriage.

In order to reduce the weight, the entire carriage adopts a steel frame structure except for the bottom and tail that use integral steel plates.

The iron chain lock allows the entire car to lock the artillery so that it will not fall off the car.

The frame also very creatively changes the wheels of the chassis to be able to connect the rods instead of being fastened to the car plate.

In order to transport the artillery, all the roads along the way were specially picked up.

A large amount of gravel and sand were compacted.There are even stone strips laid on some sections of the road.

It can be said that in order to transport these artillery to Jinmen, it can be said that more than half of the painstaking efforts of the entire Ordnance Construction Bureau were spent.

When hoisting this giant cannon, it was even more thrilling, a [-]-jin giant cannon!

Even if it shakes and wipes people off, that person can basically say goodbye to the world...
