Lord of Ming Dynasty

The construction of warships ranging from [-] to [-] tons was started, and the power of sails was canceled, and all new marine steam engines were used.

The new type of marine steam engine is also provided by three large steam engine shipyards, and it can maintain a cruising speed of at least ten knots, a combat speed of thirteen or four knots, and a maximum speed of sixteen knots. This is much more powerful than a sailing warship, without sails Due to the force of the sails and the limit of the force of the hull, the warship has trouble disintegrating, because all warships are made of iron plates.

The failure rate of the steam engine is reduced to 15.00% to 8000%, and the 5000-ton ship with the largest tonnage loaded with high-quality coal can run more than [-] nautical miles. Of course, it is at cruising speed, and the speed of [-] knots can only run One thousand nautical miles, the combat speed of twelve to fourteen knots can only run more than [-] nautical miles.

Therefore, there are warehouses full of coal in the ports and wharves along the coast of China, which is convenient for adding coal to the steam engine. If charcoal or firewood is used to burn, the power of the steam engine is not enough, and perhaps even the largest battleship cannot be driven. A battleship of more than 2000 tons It can be driven, but the speed is only seven or eight knots, and it can't run very far, more than 800 nautical miles at most.

After the steam engine warships of the Chinese Empire were replaced with first-generation experimental warships, 250 six ships were replaced with more than 140 second-generation steam engine battleships, and the ownership rate of each fleet was about [-] warships.

The original more than 800 sailing warships were basically transferred to overseas bases, or trained sailors and crews for the Naval Academy Military Academy.

The military academy of the Huaxia Empire is no longer the huge barracks-style military academy outside Jinling City. It has already bloomed everywhere. Each army has its own military academy, and they are not all in one place. The Naval Military Academy already has one in Jinling, one in Hangzhou, one in Fuzhou, one in Guangzhou, and even one in Saigon in Annan Prefecture, and one in Yanjing.

After building so many new warships, the Chinese Empire's naval steam engine warships finally had a certain scale. After learning about the sea battles between Spain and the British, the Chinese Empire inspected, improved, and carried out its own steam engine warships. Many drills were carried out to adapt to the sea battles of the future steam engine age.

Having said that, after Zhang Qiang learned about the battle between Britain and Spain, he was also taken aback. He did not expect that the British had also developed to the level of steam engine boarding, and it seemed that they had reached the stage of experimentation. Could it be that in the past two years, the British Are people inspired too much?

I remember that the British businessman Charlie Ding once bought a steam engine offshore merchant ship, so it must have been at that time. Two years ago, he brought the appearance of the steam engine and the steam engine installed on the ship back to the UK. With the speed of research and imitation in the UK, they should also come up with it. The finished product is here, and the two warships that the British came this time are steam engine warships.

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

The battle between the British and the Spaniards ended. The British lost a corner of the colony. The situation was unfavorable, but at last they did not lose too much face. The Spaniards agreed to compensate for the loss and bought a colonial port and an area with money, while Huaxia The empire was not without gains. The Bengal area finally wiped out a large number of Chinese people who were not Han people, and vacated a large number of areas for Chinese people to live in.

Some people migrated from China, Yunnan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and even Guangzhou. At the same time, some people migrated from Southeast Asian states. The population is not large, only about three million people. With Dhaka as the center, it has expanded a lot. The territory has gained a firm foothold. Although Dhaka is not within the scope of the Spanish colony, it belongs to the Bengal area, and the management of the British in this area is also very weak.

After the war, except for some Bengal clans who still live and live in the Spanish colony and the Bengal area, the Indians and the British have completely withdrawn from this area.

In general, the Huaxia Empire has basically gained a firm foothold in this area.

There are too many domestic affairs, the Chinese Empire is too large, and the official system of the Chinese Empire cannot adapt to such management. Therefore, many areas are actually managed in a sheep-herding manner, which is to decentralize administrative power level by level. It only manages the core area, and the other governorships manage their territories. The administrative system adds a governor’s office above the officials at all levels, which is equivalent to the core area, the central cabinet, and the emperor’s structure, but the sovereignty is much weaker. Management The posture of the management agency in the core area should also be copied.

The core area is fully managed by the central cabinet, while the governor's area is fully managed by the governor, but the governor is managed by the cabinet and the emperor, which is equivalent to a feudal official with great power, but most of the officials in the governor's area and core area are arranged by the cabinet staff , the governor's district has the right to arrange and dispatch by itself, which is equivalent to the way in which officials from various provinces and central departments in later generations communicate.

In fact, apart from the previous great war in Bangladesh, which was arranged by the Privy Council, the war here was initiated and arranged by the Governor-General of Southeast Asia and the Military Intelligence Department. You only need to report to the Privy Council and get the consent.

Since the governor works in a different place, he does not work wherever his title of governor is, and he is assigned by the central government.

Therefore, although the governors have a lot of power, they don't want the Jiedushi of the Tang and Song dynasties to become a feudal town and warlord. The army is not managed by them, and the army is lost every two years. The only thing that matters is the local garrison. The local garrison is also dropped every three years, and the military chief is dropped every more than a year. Basically, the governor-general does not have much military power.

After the invention of the telegraph, the central capital's information on the movement of the army was basically changed from the previous half a month or even three months to basically knowing what happened in the local area in a day or two.

In remote valleys, overseas, news of where can be obtained through the Clippers in less than half a month, so the center's foundation for local rule is still very solid.

Zhang Qiang had also heard a little about the affairs here, so he didn't take care of them for a while, because he had more things to do and was not as busy as the cabinet. He was in charge of specific affairs and decided the general direction, but he still cared about many big things.

After inspecting the various bases of the naval fleet, the construction of the entire steam engine battleship started. After equipping seven fleets with more than 100 steam battleships, the shipyards of the Chinese Empire began to upgrade and integrate. The construction capacity of all sail warships is within a thousand All shipyards below [-] tons were opened and sold to domestic businessmen. As a result, some large-scale combined shipbuilding companies and private shipyards appeared in the country, and a lot of [-]-ton ships were sold one after another. Eight of the twenty [-]-ton shipyards of the Chinese Empire were sold to private businessmen, two local governments and businessmen became joint ventures, and the remaining ten were integrated into three large shipyards.

The construction of warships ranging from [-] to [-] tons was started, and the power of sails was canceled, and all new marine steam engines were used.

The new type of marine steam engine is also provided by three large steam engine shipyards, and it can maintain a cruising speed of at least ten knots, a combat speed of thirteen or four knots, and a maximum speed of sixteen knots.

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

There is no doubt that the development of the British is faster than that of the Spaniards, and the development of the Spaniards is far behind that of the British. Maybe now it seems that the difference in speed is three or four knots, and maybe it is a little difference in defense, but the British The steam engine has been researched, and it took two years from the time Charidine came to the Chinese Empire, from when he came into contact with the steam engine to the beginning of the war between the British and the Spaniards, but only two years.

It’s okay for the British to develop the steam engine, because the steam engine was first developed by the British in history, and before the study of the steam engine in the Chinese Empire, the British had already started researching this thing, theoretically and practically. , and the scientific and technological research of the overall society are at the forefront, even surpassing the forefront of the Chinese Empire. With just one click and one inspiration, they can immediately complete the process from theoretical perfection to finished product manufacturing, because they have that foundation.

Well, there is really no way to say anything about the British. You can’t do it. You really have to admit that you can’t do it. If you bite the unrepentant person, you are doomed to fail. Let go of your thoughts and turn around to see the way. Only the Chinese Empire way to go.

So how to walk?

Now that the steam engine can no longer hide and gain greater advantages, how about letting it go?How about making enemies for the British?

The Spaniards have always been weak and stupid, but they still have some strength. At least now, although they were defeated by the British at sea, after the British defeated the Dutch coachman at sea, they also defeated the Spanish bandits at sea. Now the Spaniards It's just a noble and cowardly Tibetan mastiff.

But there are still many uses, such as giving them steam engine technology, and then letting them take their gang of sea robbers to trouble the British, which can somewhat relieve the pressure on the Chinese Empire. Although the British are now suppressed in the Far East, it is actually true There is no big threat from the Chinese Empire, but in the long run, there is still a threat. If history does not change, will there be British people coming to the Far East to make profits, Humen to sell cigarettes, and the Opium War?

China is a great civilized country that only remembers its own shame and never remembers its moments of glory and glory.

All the historical sites, what you see is disgrace, the Dagu Fort, built by the British, the Old Summer Palace, built by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Qing Dynasty was weak and incompetent. I’m used to cheongsam and braids, kneeling and kowtowing, and pretending to be a grandson, but what happened in the Ming Dynasty, everyone remembers the weakness of the Donglin Party’s civilian group, who was beaten to death by Nurhachi’s thirteen armored soldiers for 20 years. There is very little publicity for other heroes.

It's good to be brave after knowing shame, but after knowing shame, you don't have courage but become more timid, so what should you do?

Anyway, I have a country with hundreds of millions of people for me to toss about. So many people get a dollar a person, if not all, a dime a person, I can live enough. It’s not me who loves the country, even I As a result, the country is cowardly. After I go abroad, the money is enough for me to become a man who can pretend to be a rich man.

So the problem becomes that the elites are for their own interests, regardless of the interests of the whole family, just like a family, the boss works hard to support the family, the second child wants the boss to die and divide the family property, the third child watches you fight, and then picks up the leaks, maybe You are all dead, and I will inherit the family business. Even if the family business declines, leaving 30.00% is enough for my family, or I can become a rich man alone.

So the eldest brother sacrificed, the second child harmed others and himself, maybe the second child was still smart, and finally jumped out to see the eldest brother being framed by the third child, and then the eldest brother was a beggar, and finally coaxed the old man himself, and then the old man softened and gave it to the old man. One for myself, and then tortured the most capable, hardest, and most worrying boss of the family. The most backbone and passionate boss sacrificed for the second, third, and even the old man. The glory is the second, the third , the one who is smiling very happily is the old man, what a good family, full of children and grandchildren, so happy, as for the boss, this prodigal son, does not listen to what I say, so he has to toss, look at the tossing to death, the second, the third How wonderful, knowing how to be filial to yourself, the boss fights against you all day long, knowing all day long that for this family, maybe it is to seize my property, if you want to be the master of this family, dreaming, I am the master of this family ,I have the final say.

The dignity of the head of the family cannot be challenged.

Well, the second child and the third child are very smart, the most obedient is the third child, the youngest, he should do everything, so obedient.

But in terms of overall performance, their tossing has defeated the entire family led by the boss by at least [-]%. Other families look down on them when they see their own families fighting each other. The old man is just a grandson in the eyes of others. Without the support of the boss, the whole family is bleeding. One day they are bullied by the neighbors, and the next day they are taught a few words by the street. In short, the living environment of the whole family is actually worse.

Zhang Qiang is still alive, and the Huaxia Empire is still strong and prosperous, so Zhang Qiang is not afraid of the British tossing. The more the British and Spaniards quarrel, the longer the Huaxia Empire will watch the excitement, the more time it will develop, and the longer it will continue in the future. The time is also delayed.

My sons and grandchildren certainly don't have the vision and strategic thinking of hundreds of years. He can't tell them anything. He preaches and preaches many times. In the face of no facts, no one can make everyone listen to him, even if he masters it. The emperor of the whole country, you can't let them take more precautions regardless of the current actual situation. Sometimes you have to play by yourself, and various problems may still arise.

Zhang Qiang was deeply fettered by the continuation of the dynasty and the psychology of worrying about the eyes of his descendants. He spared no effort to delay or kill any resistance and danger to the continuation of the descendants and the dynasty in the bud.

In fact, to realize this kind of dream, you can only improve your own strength. If your own strength is high, no matter how the other party develops, it is just a small matter, but when Zhang Qiang looks at the current dynasty with the eyes of future generations, he always Feeling not enough, or low self-esteem, yes, as a Chinese, a Chinese with a lower sense of security than later generations of Japan, Zhang Qiang is so inferior, so insecure, because later generations of Japan rely on the protection of the United States, and What about the Huaxia of later generations?

The United States is the enemy, the Soviet Union is the potential enemy, Europe is a bunch of indifferent and stupid Westerners who only know how to cheat themselves, and the neighbors and younger brothers around them all follow the United States, and they often cheat the elder brother, and this elder brother is The boss mentioned above is often the Holy Mother. Not only does he not buy military equipment, he considers his own safety, and he often reduces military equipment by himself, just like the previous Song Dynasty, playing tricks to death. The letter, and tricks to death, let the Hu people take power, military power, and gave the Hu people a lot of benefits, which made the Han people complain.

This is the same as what the Soviet Union did before. Facing countless family members, for their own sons, they would rather be hungry than take care of those white-eyed wolves around them, always thinking about the other family members Nephews, cousins, and even the guys in the queue who can't beat the relatives, so finally a big white bear who would rather not have these people, would rather break up the family, has been educated in the West, and would rather run with the West, Without the efforts of the black bear agent behind, Russia would have starved to death.

In short, Zhang Qiang does not trust China's future, even if it is the civil service system that he himself built.

Faced with such inferior behavior, Zhang Qiang has no sense of security at all.

Strengthen the Spaniards, and then continue to challenge the British, passing from the East to the West.
