Lord of Ming Dynasty

Song Qingdao: "Most of the warships and personnel we captured this time are in the ports of the Portuguese and the Spaniards. They can be exchanged for some benefits and give the soldiers and their families an explanation. Whether it is the exchange of warships or the Spanish captured by us People or Portuguese, we can agree to them, or we can negotiate with the British, French and Dutch through them, and exchange our warships and personnel. The important thing is personnel. OK.

We can screen these personnel a little bit, and many of them can return to their posts, and then other personnel can go to teach, become businessmen, fishermen, and train more naval personnel for us. "

Chapter 2175

The empire is in the autumn of a long time. Wei, Zhu, Kong, Tong, Dai, Jin, etc., the founding nobles of the dynasty who followed Zhang Qiang and the others to conquer the world, are now princes from all over the country after their meritorious service.

The descendants of the eldest prince of the royal family, but Zhang Siyuan and the others know that under the circumstances of the Chinese Empire, Zhang Siyuan and the others cannot have many privileges. In the end, they still have to rely on their warships and technology, military strength, talents, and prestige to win the governors and prestige of various places. The favor of the royal family, they just have righteousness.

I just have an identity certificate and pass to the empire.

Of course, the royal family certification is only for the royal family. If he wants to get the recognition of other lords and princes, the offshoots of the royal family, and the cabinet ministers, or not obstruct it, He Jing still has to work hard. , but it took about two years to deal with various royal family branches, royal family branches, royal family members, wealthy families, generals, and cabinet ministers. It took no less than 3000 million new kingdom coins to finally get everyone's approval. The commitment and guarantee of the royal family and various other people related to this has been confirmed in writing.

The money spent is enough to build several new [-]-ton main battleships.

New Kingdom's latest main battleship is 130 meters long, 21 meters wide, with a full-load displacement of more than 900 tons, a total buoyancy of more than 300 tons, and a draft of 250 meters. It has six 23-four The millimeter twin-mounted turret, such a large battleship, has such ample buoyancy, enough to allow this battleship to sail more than 3000 nautical miles in the Atlantic Ocean at a speed of 700 knots. If it is accompanied by a supply ship, it can sail more than [-] nautical miles. Two supply ships It will allow it to go around the Horn of Africa and reach the island of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean.

Generally speaking, don't look at the [-]s, the warships of the New Kingdom are infinitely close to the level of the Nassau-class German warships in the late World War I.The British and the French were still hovering at the level of building warships in the early days of World War I. This is the confidence of the New Kingdom, and the reason why the New Kingdom made countries tremble in the West.

But such warships are obviously huge, expensive, and take a long time to build. With the current construction level and technology of the New Kingdom, it obviously takes three years to build such a ship, one for each dock, maybe A dozen or so ships can be built, but there is no major war now, and the maintenance cost is also very expensive, requiring nearly 200 million maintenance costs per year.

Perhaps in the huge New Kingdom, the maintenance fee of 200 million is really nothing, but what if there are more than ten white ships?Ten ships is 2000 million, and one hundred is more than [-] million. In addition to the maintenance of other naval warships, in one year, the New Kingdom will have to spend nearly one billion yuan on the maintenance of these naval warships. Then personnel salaries, naval construction , The maintenance of the naval base, the training of the navy's personnel, the money spent on the transfer of the navy, and the money spent on fighting the war, is it necessary to spend billions of dollars a year for the navy?

Don't look at the wealth of the New Kingdom now, don't look at the strength of the New Kings team, but the annual net income of the economy is not 200 billion, and a little is distributed to the army, and the government itself consumes a little. Although the army is constantly being cut down, the military expenditure is still huge. Can it be so wasted?

Now there is no national war. The naval fleets of several countries like Britain and France, the scale of nearly [-] warships may attack once every five or six to ten years. They do not need to maintain such a large navy and army every year.

Now the New Kingdom can make money, but there is still the newly recovered North American continent to be built and developed, and there are still places to be built and developed. Every year, tens of millions, or even billions, of funds need to be allocated for construction and development. To develop, you need to make money, and you don’t have to spend some money. How can you say it in the past?

What's more, for the strategy of returning to the east, the resources of the whole country are now serving this purpose, and the money is spent like water. Although this is not a big war, every time it will be for a small-scale, tens of thousands of people, or dozens of warships For battles of more than a dozen battleships, hundreds of thousands to two to three million yuan was allocated, so now the New Kingdom only has thirteen such super main battleships, which just happen to form a formation.

Of course, such a warship cannot be known to outsiders, and it is only stored in the harbor now. In case of a large-scale war, it will be used as a trump card to deter the enemy.

The main battleship currently in use is still an 254-ton main battleship with five triple-mounted turrets and a body that is a circle smaller than this one. The caliber of the artillery is 150 except for the front and rear triple-mounted turrets, and the other three are 88. [-]mm caliber guns, and dozens of [-]mm and [-]mm caliber secondary guns were installed.

Of course, the current main battleship of the New Kingdom cannot be used to curry favor with the empire that is tens of thousands of kilometers away. The New Kingdom Navy still took out the Type 5000 cruiser from the last battle and the frigates and main battleships with only more than 7000 tons and [-] tons. To please the imperial cabinet ministers and some princes, naval princes and some lords and princes.

Obtaining their trust and some promises, making their return to the East legal and reasonable, so that the Han people in the empire can accept them, of course the upper-level figures, the bottom-level Baixin all dynasties have no right to speak, they are passively accepted, not accepted It is also an emotion provoked by careerists. Anyway, the best thing for them is to have enough food and live a good life.

The warships and weapons to please are the main equipment more than ten years ago. Even so, they are very advanced in the eastern empire. Their current lag and backward level cannot advance in construction and master technology. Talented people who learn technology are old-fashioned and unable to learn. They can only be selected and cultivated from young people to learn again.

This is very similar to Zhang Qiang’s history in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty. History is like this. It’s not that Zhang Qiang belittled the empire and the Han people. Enemy, as for development and being prepared for danger in times of peace, tireless advancement is the business of the upper class, and the upper class is satisfied with pleasure and enjoyment of power and position, and then advances bit by bit in the overall trend, following in the footsteps of others, keeping their eyes on It is always the little interest on other people's one-third of an acre of land.

They fully supported the new Qin State because of the existence and encouragement of Zhang Qiang, a traverser. Second child.

They were resentful, jealous, and very xenophobic about the New Kingdom, but now the imperial family has no choice, and the Han people have no choice. If they want to prosper on the surface, but actually continue to survive under the turbulent skin and let the empire survive, they You have to accept the funding of the New Kingdom, and accept the help of the New Kingdom to restore the glory of the empire when Zhang Qiang was in the past.

Chapter 2176 Dilemma

For the royal family, this is a dilemma, and those who make trouble are after their meritorious deeds.

The descendants of the eldest prince of the royal family, but Zhang Siyuan and the others know that under the circumstances of the Chinese Empire, Zhang Siyuan and the others cannot have many privileges. In the end, they still have to rely on their warships and technology, military strength, talents, and prestige to win the governors and prestige of various places.

Chapter 2177 Regardless

The embarrassment of the royal family did not make Zhang Siyuan and the others feel anything. The royal family was far away from them, and what they cared about was the empire.

But Zhang Siyuan and the others knew that under the circumstances of the Chinese Empire, it was impossible for Zhang Siyuan and the others to have many privileges. In the end, they still had to rely on their warships, technology, troops, talents, and prestige to win the favor of governors and royal families everywhere. Possess righteousness.

I just have an identity certificate and pass to the empire.
