Lord of Ming Dynasty

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

Chapter One Thousand and Eight

On the orders of Queen Ekaterina, Kutuzov and Grove first found negotiators from the Qing Dynasty to start negotiations.

A group of three people, hiding and shimmering, walked on the country road, walking on the paved stones from time to time, and poured a layer of earth-lime glutinous rice cake and other local method cement on the stones.

This makes the road have the appearance of cement and the hardness of stones. Although it is not very beautiful, it is stable and firm when walking on a cart. The key is to accelerate the speed of pedestrians running on the road, which is far faster than Dirt roads are much faster and much cleaner than dirt roads, because Daming does not have cars that weigh dozens of tons like later generations. Even if there are carriages for transportation, they will definitely not exceed a few tons in weight. As far as the road is concerned, it is more than enough. This is the change that Zhang Qiang brought to this era.

It can't be said how advanced or advanced it is, but it is absolutely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, it is mainly because the Huaxia Army has added other industry exams on the basis of the imperial examinations, 360 lines, and there are exams for all walks of life. Low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate. With these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the research results to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng. In the village, you can also get the reception of the village head, the head of the security, or the head of the township, and let everyone look at you highly. In these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a good income and a basic monthly salary.

People in the village read a letter, recognize a character, or build something, find an authority to authenticate it, and they will come to you, or the price of what you come up with is higher than the price of other people who have not been authenticated. I have to find you when dealing with the government.

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.Promote Jin Lin to lead the 11th Field Brigade, Ma Sanli to lead the 12th Field Brigade, Du Ge to lead the 6rd Field Brigade, He Jin to lead the 13th Field Brigade, and the remaining Field Brigade No. 13 Field Brigade to be transferred to the southwest of Guangzhou. Ma Han took over the No.[-] field brigade, and then transferred Feng Wuyu's second field brigade to the southwest defense line, and Feng Wuyu followed to the southwest defense line to take charge of the work there.

Xuanyuan Longfei was transferred to Wuchang Mansion, and the Fifth Field Brigade still followed.

Ruan Jin took over Ma Weixing's [-]th Field Brigade and was stationed in Anqing Prefecture. The generals were changed, but the soldiers of the [-]th Field Brigade did not move, and the station did not move.

The Ninth Field Brigade did not move, and the commander was replaced by Bagyalu. The Third Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the central Jinhua Mansion, and Wei Wuji personally took charge of it.

Ma Weiren, the commander of the Ninth Field Brigade, went to take over the No.18 Field Brigade and stationed in Hanyang Prefecture.

The No.20 Sixth Field Brigade was transferred from the Hubei battlefield to defend the Southern Ming Army in Shaoguan, Guangdong.

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.

You Haibo’s Department of Officials, Zhang Huangyan’s Department of Household Affairs, Li Guangdi’s Department of Education and Administration, Xiao Dazhuang’s Department of Punishment, Qian Bingdeng’s Ministry of Rites, Zhang Mingzhen’s Ministry of Agriculture, Zhu Panpan’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li Guo’s Ministry of War, Wan Siyuan’s Ministry of Industry, Zhang Liang’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of People’s Affairs Huang Tao, Wei Wuji of the Ministry of National Defense, Du Ge of the Supervision Department, and Milin of the Military Intelligence Department, all the departments are fully equipped.

Another: Director of Recruit Training, Tian Xian, Vice Minister of Military Intelligence Tian Bin

Members from all parties, Zhang Mingzhen from Zhejiang Province, Li Guangxiong from Fujian Province, Jinsheng from Guangxi Prefecture, Mi Chun from Jiangxi Prefecture, Tang Dianfeng from Huguangzhou Province, Gu Yuesheng from Hubei Province, Fang Yizhi from Henan Province, Qian Bingdeng from Yunnan and Guizhou Prefecture, Lin Chengcheng from Anhui Prefecture , Liu Liangzuo, Yunnan Prefecture, and Zhu Dayou, Governor of Baodao.

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

Chapter One Thousand and Nine Chinese Army Enters Central Siberia

The negotiation between the Manchu Qing and the Russian Expeditionary Force is not something that can be resolved in a short while. The Manchu Qing occupied West Siberia while conducting secret negotiations with Russia. In fact, the Chinese Empire’s Military Intelligence Department knew about it a long time ago and reported it to Jin Qi , Jin Qi reported to Zhang Qiang again.

But Zhang Qiang didn't react, because he knew that now was not the time to force the Qing Dynasty. The Huaxia Empire hadn't digested even a single piece of East Siberia. They sent an exploration team in summer, and retreated to Chita in winter. The entire East Siberia There are less than 50 people.

In order to ensure the lives of these 50 people, it cost a lot of money. The road opened by Xia Tian only reached the middle of East Siberia. This is the main road, starting from Heilongjiang, passing through Jiangdong Shilitun, Vladivostok, and then turning a corner to arrive at Chita, one hundred kilometers away from the coastline from Chita, passed through the various settlements of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and entered East Siberia, and finally stopped in a relatively large town, which is already considered the eastern center of East Siberia up.

Then open a road back to the sea from here. In summer, this place can be resupplied, transported and evacuated from the sea.

Next spring, we plan to extend a road from here to return to Lake Baikal in Central Siberia. In fact, where is it horizontally closer to Heilongjiang, where they started, there have long been roads leading to Lake Baikal, and there are even horse-drawn railways and post roads. Where does it lead.

After Central Siberia was completely withdrawn from the Qing Dynasty, the Huaxia Army sent three garrison brigades, and 2 people entered there, mainly around the banks of Lake Baikal for construction. The initial stage was construction to ensure the smoothness of the road. The original construction The settlements along the way, as well as the commercial station, also settled in the summer with civilians and garrison brigade soldiers and horses. A field brigade cavalry entered there and suppressed bandits within a radius of [-] miles to ensure the safety of the place.

There are about 50 people who have been evacuated from East Siberia and their husbands have entered there. These 50 people have been exhausted just to protect the line and station around the city. In order to protect the lives of these 50 people, at least There are 100 million civilians busy in the front and rear.

Eastern Siberia has penetrated halfway, and Central Siberia has only penetrated into Lower Central Siberia. It has just entered a little half, which consumes a lot of manpower and powerlessness.

Every year, in order to ensure that the Qing Dynasty can win the Russian Expeditionary Army and the Western Allied Forces, the Chinese Empire spends at least 50.00% of its financial expenditure, 1000 million people and 500 million soldiers and horses. Even if it has been accumulated for 30 years, the Chinese Empire can't stand it.

This is why all the dynasties in China, after repelling the invading foreign races, usually just set up a capital outside the Great Wall, stationed 2000 people, and let the foreign races manage themselves. Officials only show their existence and collect taxes. It is enough to ensure that there is no rebellion or safety.

It is really disproportionate between expenditure and recovery. It is not a big loss, but a huge loss. Until now, except for fur and giant wood, some animal meat, and some medicinal materials, there is nothing that can interest the Chinese Empire, or can It is a place to recover the cost and obtain greater profits. At first, these profits made the merchants or the Chinese imperial government feel that the benefits were huge. Shipping and construction costs are taken into consideration.

Afterwards, the cabinet made calculations every year, from the beginning of the war to expel the Qing Dynasty, to the initiative to ask the Qing Dynasty to withdraw, to pay the Qing Dynasty food and materials, and a series of materials and money, manpower, material resources, astronomical figures, if only the above The profits gained from things and the benefits to the Chinese Empire will not be able to recover the costs paid by the Chinese Empire in another 100 years.

And as long as the Qing Dynasty does not withdraw to the west of the Ural Mountains, what should they do? The Chinese Empire does not need to control their eating, drinking, clothing, equipment, and fighting. At that time, they will stop losing money. As for how to build in the future, should they build Siberia? , That's for the future, sending people to occupy a place is also a big expense, and maintaining a place is a big expense every year.

If this transaction ends up with a profit of only 100 basic shares, then the loss will be [-] to [-] at the beginning, but after the war is over, the Huaxia Army will invest another [-] to [-], and the construction every day and every year will basically be [-] years later. If you lose [-] to [-], then you can make [-] to [-]. In short, you can make a profit. Now you are losing [-] or [-] a day, but you can make a profit of [-] or [-]. In winter, it will be [-] or [-]. Ten years In the future, the loss will reach tens of millions, and the compensation obtained, or what can be earned in the end, is only five or six hundred, and the total can reach several thousand.

So the dynasties of the past dynasties are very accurate, because Siberia is not like Guangdong or the south. As early as the Han Dynasty, Song Dynasty, and even the Yuan Dynasty, the south was actually a barren land, a place where prisoners were exiled. Although it was a bit hot, it could still be inhabited. Yes, but most of Siberia cannot be populated by many people. The cold makes people and crops unable to survive, and it cannot turn any place into a bustling city.

Therefore, with the productivity of the agricultural economy era of the current or previous dynasties, Siberia did not gain much in the end, but paid a lot, so they gave up. Only Russia was originally only a city, with a radius of thirty or fifty miles, from a princely state to a principality. , to occupy the land of hundreds of kilometers west of the entire Ural Mountains, because the original land is too small, so the desire for land will never end.

Just like the Chinese people's pursuit of wealth, no matter how greedy they are, they are always not conscious enough, and they are afraid that it is not their own, and they must grasp the size in their own hands, because they are afraid of being poor, and they have been poor for more than 2000 years.

However, although the cabinet and even the entire imperial court wanted to abandon Siberia, Zhang Qiang's insistence made everyone helpless. They had to do this thing that seemed to suffer serious losses and might even bring down the Chinese Empire.

Zhang Qiang was also angered by the Russians occupying China's land in later generations. In this life, he has this ability, so why didn't he take it back?

Now, although the Huaxia Empire has grown from being strong to being difficult, he still promotes this matter without hesitation, and all opposing voices naturally disappear under his oppression, or turn to private discussions.

This is not something that Zhang Qiang manages. As long as he is in Siberia, Southeast Asia, the South China Sea, Malacca, Australia, Indonesia and other overseas lands that everyone still complains about, Zhang Qiang does not want to give up any of them.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Qiang promoted the occupation of Siberia, and now he has obtained Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia, and people in West Siberia have also opened roads, established commercial stations, post roads, and all the way to the front lines. In the Ural Mountains, 30 civilians and 30 garrison troops were deployed along the route. Although it was mainly a road opened for the transfer of supplies to the Qing Dynasty, it was also the passage to West Siberia in the future.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Like the tentacles of an octopus, like the roots of a big tree, the Huaxia Army has already extended its palms into various places in Siberia. Although the reach is limited, it has gone in anyway.

In addition to the large number of troops, there are also a small number of soldiers and horses, dozens to hundreds of soldiers and horses, extending into farther areas, using and occupying the original Russians and Japanese, Goguryeo people, and the Qing Dynasty. Settlements and cities, but these people are farther away.
