Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

Low-level certification does not require you to be literate or have read books, as long as you can get something in the industry and get government approval.

And can get the qualification to go to adult night school for free. If you graduate from the night school, that is to say, you know ten Arabic numerals and more than one hundred characters, you can take the qualification certification level two examination.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries. Task.

Of course, these people do not need to receive wages. They will be paid when they are requisitioned.

When you want to go one step further, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification. These people must be able to speak well and be able to count and write. These people are generally veterans or businessmen's buddies, old officials in the government, or have been famous for a long time Some of them are directly recruited by the government and given to a clerk. These clerks spend more than half of their time working in the government, and they are called the low-level clerks of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements. The civil servants above have to rely on them if they want to be promoted to higher-level section officials.

The fourth level is usually those who have read books and have profound attainments in the industry. They also have the heart of being an official. Members can be promoted to official positions, and can be promoted to positions such as clerks, document offices, book books, etc., which are equivalent to the assistants of township heads and town heads.

These people who can read books and study skills in various industries will eventually become deputy township heads, deputy mayors, or research officials. More senior officials can take the imperial examination and then enter a higher research institution.

This is Zhang Qiang cultivating talents for the few smart scientists in his hands.

We can’t always let Sebastian and Francois do research, they need helpers, and it’s too slow to rely on them to train some apprentices, which is not good for the technological development of the Huaxia Army, so Zhang Qiang has to find those folk talents from Huaxia Come out and send them to their research institute, let them learn while helping and inspiring the two of them, so as to speed up their development.

The new carriage was made under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.

At the same time, under the advice and promotion of a businessman or a treasurer-born researcher, he quickly entered the army and civilians of the Huaxia Army, and gained commercial and national interests.

Let the society promote its own development. Zhang Qiang is only a bystander and a guide. Otherwise, with his knowledge structure, insight, and historical knowledge, he will not be able to reach the level of other traversers in 100 years. years of development.

6Chapter 17 The Division

After Hong Chengchou coaxed away those officials who advocated peace talks, he just turned around and ran into a person from outside the hall. It was his housekeeper and master Shi Youzhong. He had been a county lieutenant, a county magistrate, and an inspector in the Qing Dynasty. They were all recommended by Hong Chengchou. Later, he resigned and followed him as a housekeeper and master, which helped him a lot.

He ran to Hong Chengchou and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Huaxia Army has imposed a complete blockade on us. The Golden Qi Corps on the Yangtze River defense line of the Huaxia Army has added more than a dozen D-level field brigades. I heard that these are from their core area. The mobilized garrison battalion and the elite militia brigade have all been equipped with the Huaxia Army's Jinkai 2 matchlock guns, and a general mobilization has been implemented. In addition to the original eight field brigades and two cavalry brigades, these dozen In addition to the three D-level field brigades, four ordinary militia brigades have been added, and the Yangtze River Guard Navy has also added warships. It seems that they are preparing to carry out a general attack on our country."

Hong Chengchou's arm holding the seat trembled slightly. This was the last thing he wanted to see. In the past two years, he felt that the Huaxia Army had basically wiped out the surrounding enemies and eliminated the influence of Da Ming and Nan Ming. The Qing army attacked, but the Huaxia army didn't come. Instead, they fought fiercely with the Qing. A year ago, they suddenly launched a war against the small Southeast Asian country, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He stepped up contact with the Qing Dynasty to help the Qing Dynasty deal with the Dajin Kingdom, thinking that before the Huaxia Army finished cleaning up the surrounding enemies, let the Qing Dynasty restore the imperial court and unite the whole country to fight against the Huaxia Army. Unexpectedly, Daqing The imperial power struggle within the Qing Dynasty would be so fierce, and at the critical moment, Shunzhi ran away, leaving behind the woman in Yigong and a young emperor who was a few years old, which made the Qing Dynasty even more precarious, so he worked hard many times to unite Those princes wanted to solve this problem, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty, like other foreign dynasties that entered the Central Plains, was already decayed after more than ten years, and it no longer had the aggressiveness it used to have.

On the contrary, he was very concerned about fighting for power and profit, and he had to pay close attention to contacting the Han officials around him, trying to knead them together, make them into a force, and influence the government, but this touched the interests of those Manchu princes, and Bottom line, they teamed up to suppress and expel the Han officials from the upper echelons of the court, and could only take up some unimportant positions in the middle and lower levels, desperately searching for the people's fat and anointing for them, and letting them enjoy themselves. This made him very disappointed and passive, and felt human. Lonely, he had to reorganize his foundation, the old base, but the prince of Manqing would not let him go, because he held the greatest military strength of Manqing.

Foreign races always look at Han people with complacency and contempt. Aren’t you Han people smart?But the smell of commercial copper is too strong, and the consciousness of small farmers is too strong. They are the kind of people who can fly to the sky with a little achievement and can't achieve great things. The Han nationality is also such a nation, and this kind of people It is a heterogeneous of the Han nationality, the Japanese, the Yamato nation, who has brought this ability to the extreme.

If the Han nationality is a family name, the Japanese are the third child of the Han nationality. They are smart and capable, but they look down on the elegance and cowardice of the eldest brother. Although the third child is not tall, he is very strong and powerful, and he has a good mind. , the boss always has too many scruples, and always likes to float, and Man Qing is the adopted son, the alternative in the Han nationality family, he defeated the boss with his fist, the boss continued to be cowardly, they became the second child, and the third child They don't have many interactions, but they also look down on the third child, and the third child is too shrewd, likes to wait for opportunities, likes to be patient, and has learned the temper of the boss.

As a result, the boss became more and more incompetent, and gradually became a hopeless nerd, while the second son was arrogant and powerful, and gradually became a village tyrant like a landlord and rich man. , vertically and horizontally invincible, but when the boss reacts and rises again, they can only give up their status as adopted sons and become people with a foreign surname, and the boss thinks that the third child is still very good, so there is always this real blood relationship?

So he was very kind to the third child. The third child lowered his body and flattered him, while calculating the boss in his heart. Finally, one day he put a green hat on the boss, robbed the boss' wife, and robbed the boss' house. When I was young, half of my friends were friends. The third child really inherited the property of the boss. The boss got back his property, but he still felt that he could not give up the blood relationship. He always thought about Sino-Japanese friendship, Sino-Japanese friendship, and friends When they saw it, alas, it was hopeless, so they stayed away from the boss and got involved with the third child, so the boss declined again.

These are the general trend of the Han people and the shame that the Han people will never be able to get rid of. At present, Hong Chengchou feels that if he does not change his surname to others, then he may become the slave of the third child. As the boss, he does not want to be the slave of the third child, so he wants Go to the third child's site to grab the site, go to harm the third child, he doesn't want to be the slave of such a person for the boss, it is shameful enough to be the slave of the second child, now that the third child is not good, he will beat the old man Three, stop serving your second child.

Of course Man Qing didn't agree, so he messed with him once, causing him to lose so much territory, and was killed by the Huaxia Army, completing what he wanted to do a long time ago, the completion of the third strategy.

The completion of the third strategy successfully separated the connection between Man Qing and Hong Chengchou's Qing army, and made Hong Chengchou independent, which weakened the strength of the two.

Hong Chengchou knew that he could not fight against the Huaxia Army with his own strength, so he thought about leaving.

But there is no way to go, the Huaxia Army surrounded him in full swing.

Shi Youzhong's report is still going on: "In addition to the No. 20 Field Brigade of Merlin Yu left behind to guard the border, the Xiao Fei Corps has also been transferred to Shandong Prefecture, Anhui Prefecture, and the border of Suzhou Prefecture. If you add the Xuanyuan Longfei Corps More than half of the previous strength of the corps also includes the newly-added 20st Guards Division of the Guards Corps, the No. 60 Ninth Field Brigade, the Ninth Field Brigade, four militia brigades, four garrison battalions expanded garrison regiments, and the punishment battalion. If we have [-] troops, and a brigade of the punishment battalion dedicated to combat, the troops surrounding us have reached [-] troops, which is almost double our current strength."

Hong Chengchou nodded with difficulty, the voice of Shi Youzhong's report became louder and louder, and several other people also heard Shi Youzhong's report, and they couldn't help showing nervous expressions on their faces.

"Any more?"

"How is the transfer of the Huaxia Army's navy?" Hong Chengchou is most concerned about the Huaxia Army's navy. No matter in terms of artillery, troops, or warships, the Lu Army's navy and the Huaxia Army's navy are no longer at the same level. The Chinese navy is only equivalent to the Yangtze River Naval Garrison of the Huaxia Army. The Yangtze River Naval Garrison is nominally under the management of the Ministry of Defense of the Huaxia Army and the Donghai Navy. In fact, they are mobilized and managed by the Golden Qi Corps in Jinling.

Shi Youzhong replied very sadly: "The two fleets of the East China Sea Division have dispatched their entire army to blockade all waters beyond [-] nautical miles in our sea area, and they are not close to our coastline, but such a blockade prevents us from escaping. It is impossible to let merchants come in to conduct transactions. Nowadays, there is a shortage of food and raw materials in the market. Many merchants have fled from our land in Lu State. , In addition to the gold, silver and copper coins we have stored, we don’t have much Huaxia Yuan in our hands. This makes it impossible for us to buy things even if we have gold and silver.”

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't talk about that, just say that their navy has blocked the upper reaches, such as the Shandong Prefecture they occupied, and the Beijing-Tianjin waters of the Qing Dynasty, the Bohai Sea and other places?"

"Not this way." Shi Youzhong said.

"Okay, you go back immediately and put all the supplies on board, and send my family and family members on board. I have arranged for you a large merchant ship with fifty or two thousand materials. By the way, take their The family members and members of the family are all loaded on the boat," he pointed to Shi Youzhong, the officials and generals who he still trusts in the hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Quan asked: "Your Majesty, we have to leave some soldiers behind, or the Huaxia Army will rush to us directly, and then not only will we not be able to leave, but it will also cause chaos and collapse."

Hong Chengchou said: "I know, Lord Kong, take your generals on board immediately, and leave tonight, go around the waters of Shandong Province, and go straight to where the Ryukyu Kingdom took it."

Kong Youxing said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will go here." He turned and left the hall.

Hong Chengchou said to Ma Bao again: "You are also injured, but I have no one to lead the army. I will leave you with six new troops and one hundred thousand old troops. I hope you can hold on longer, and I will give you Leave one hundred warships with two thousand materials, twenty warships with eight thousand materials, and five hundred warships with five hundred materials. If things cannot be done, just follow us.

I will withdraw tomorrow night. During this period of time, you have to withstand the attack of the Huaxia Army, but don't worry, the Huaxia Army is only blocking us now. They probably won't know that we are gone when we leave, but it will take a long time. Once they find a large number of ships going out to sea, they will definitely block the sea completely. At that time, it will depend on your ability. If you can escape to Liaodong or the Bohai Sea in the Beijing-Tianjin area, I will send ships to pick you up. "

Ma Bao's face was ashen. He knew that he was abandoned. The key was that battle. He underestimated the enemy, or if he was defeated, he needed to bear the responsibility for the defeat, so Hong Chengchou left him. Give him the command of a total of 20 troops, of which 20 are the command of six new army towns, and the command of [-] old troops is actually not enough for [-], and Hong Chengchou will definitely not hand it over today. To give him these command rights, he must wait for them to withdraw in three days before they can be handed over to him. During this period, the command rights of the various armies are actually still in Hong Chengchou's hands.

Under the circumstances of the complete blockade of the Huaxia Army, he wants to break through the defense of the Huaxia Army and take hundreds of thousands of troops to the Qing Army's territory to go out to sea by boat. Those who fought with the Yangtze River garrison of the Chinese Army will absolutely be unable to break through the blockade of the East China Sea Division and the Yangtze River garrison of the Huaxia Army and rush out from the sea.

Chapter 648 The Battle of Crossing the River

On the surface of the sea, the sound of guns was rumbling and the flames were soaring into the sky. From night until the third day, the curtain came down. Nearly ten thousand warships of the Lu army rushed through the pass, while two thousand warships of the Donghai Division chased after them. The shells and arrows used in the country are more than those used by the Chinese Navy Navy in more than ten years.

From the sea of ​​Suzhou to the Kingdom of Ryukyu, fragments of shattered ships and corpses are floating everywhere. In three nights, [-] warships of the Lu army were shattered and [-] were captured. They are all cautious warships and merchant ships, only nearly [-] warships of [-] materials and fifty warships of [-] materials participated in the battle.

In fact, Kong Youxing had already taken a thousand or so warships and a thousand or so merchant ships to break out from the Beijing-Tianjin area in a large circle.

In the daytime of the fourth day, when the first fleet of the Huaxia Army returned to the station to repair the warships, leaving the second fleet to continue to blockade the Lu army, the Lu army concentrated [-] warships with more than [-] materials, and [-] warships. More than a thousand warships broke through, and when the Second Fleet arrived, Hong Chengchou's main force had already broken through, leaving only a few hundred warships behind.

The Second Fleet pursued closely, and at the same time sent fast boats back to rescue soldiers. The First Fleet led more than 300 warships capable of fighting, and dispatched 3000 warships of less than [-] materials from the Yangtze River Guard Navy to assist. Reluctant to give up, they caught up with Hong Chengchou's warship fleet on the sixth day. It was impossible for nearly [-] warships and merchant ships to go fast. Nearly [-] warships from both sides fought together. In the end, Hong Chengchou led most of the merchant ships and five hundred A total of [-] warships arrived in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

During the six-day naval battle, the State of Lu lost [-] warships and merchant ships of less than [-] materials, [-] warships of more than [-] materials, and [-] warships of less than [-] materials, and warships of [-] to [-] materials. With six hundred ships, it can be said that the loss was heavy.

Nearly [-]% of Lu's naval forces were lost or taken away.

And the East China Sea Division also lost 3 warships with less than [-] materials, and [-] warships with [-] to [-] materials. They almost lost all the auxiliary ships, and lost nearly half of the warships. , lost [-] troops, and it was even more impossible to prevent the withdrawal of the Lu army.

After a seven-day breakout, the Lu army took away 10 soldiers and horses, three new Lu army towns, [-] elite old army troops, as well as a large amount of gold and silver treasures, weapons and equipment, and a population of [-].

After Zhang Qiang learned about it, he immediately ordered the Yangtze River Navy Guard to attack the Lu army's coastal fortifications on the Yangtze River defense line. After entering Suzhou, the Golden Qi Corps transported a small number of elite cavalry and artillery units to the opposite bank through the troop carriers of the Yangtze River Guard, captured some small bridgehead positions, and invested troops to attack the enemy's Yangtze River defense line.

In fact, the main force in Suzhou is still the Golden Qi Corps.

On the evening of the seventh day, the First Cavalry Brigade secretly took advantage of the enemy's mobilization of troops to deal with the Yangtze River Naval Guard, and used a small boat to transport a battalion to attack a small village on the Yangtze River defense line.

There is a battalion of soldiers and horses from the No. 11 Xinjun Town of the Lu Army stationed there.
