The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Next, Ying Chang entered the left hall, took off his clothes and lay down in a large wooden barrel, enjoying the common service of more than a dozen court ladies, rubbing his back, rubbing his shoulders, rubbing his legs, his whole body was pressed , Knead, wipe again.

After bathing, it was time to change clothes. The beautiful court ladies put on red inner robes, black five-clawed black dragon crown clothes, black gold dragon head belts, bronzing dragon pattern boots, and waterfall-like black hair for Ying Chang. , wear the nine-pointed dragon crown, and finally hang the dragon and phoenix sword on the left side of the belt!

Dressing is over!

Holding the hilt of the dragon and phoenix sword in his left hand, Ying Chang stepped out of the gate of the main hall in a dignified manner. Surrounded by Pei Ji and other Xianyang Palace guards, he walked out of the front yard of Ganquan Palace. There were hundreds of imperial guards and hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs standing in front of and behind Long Zhuo Dajia.

Seeing Ying Chang coming out, an eunuch walked up to Long Yu's driver, knelt on his knees and put his head on the floor. Ying Chang stepped on the eunuch's back and walked up to Long Yu's driver. He was lifted steadily by the eunuchs, and the group walked towards the Qilin Hall.

By the time Ying Chang came to the qilin apse, the time had already reached the second quarter of the hour, that is to say, he missed the court time by a quarter of an hour.

Qilin Hall!

In the Qilin Hall, all the officials had been waiting for a long time, and they all stood quietly in their positions waiting for Ying Chang to go up. At this moment, a man wearing a black three-clawed python suit and a sharp sword hanging from his waist walked out of the back hall. , it was Pei Ji.

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, I'm asking for a full order, I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, I'm asking for a reward, I'm asking for four things every day, I hope you will support me a lot, thank you!"

Chapter 774 Population!

Pei Ji walked out of the apse, passed the steps behind the high platform, walked up to the high platform, stood beside the dragon chair and shouted to the officials: "Your Majesty is here!"

As soon as the words fell, except for Bai Qi, the other ministers bowed their knees and bowed respectfully. When Ying Chang in formal attire walked out of the back hall, walked onto the high platform, and sat on the dragon chair, all the officials immediately gathered together. He shouted loudly: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Ying Chang solemnly raised his hands to the ministers and said, "Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers yelled respectfully, and the chorus resounded throughout the hall, and there was still a lingering sound. Immediately afterwards, all the ministers got up from the ground one after another. After all the ministers got up, Chang Ying carefully looked at each minister and found that Many ministers have dark circles under their eyes.

Seeing this, Ying Chang couldn't help but asked aloud: "It seems that there are many Ai Qing who are not asleep!"

"Your Majesty, I'm so excited that I can't sleep!" Zhang Feizi, who had the most dark circles under his eyes, replied with a smile!

"Ha ha!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"My mind is thinking about artillery, I can't fall asleep at all, and I wake up laughing several times!"

"Ha ha!"

What Zhang Feizi said caused a small group of ministers to burst into laughter, while most of the other ministers stared blankly with blank expressions on their faces. These blank ministers were all officials below the third rank, and they did not see the shock of last night. If you saw this scene, you might come up with dark circles under your eyes.

"Haha!" Ying Chang couldn't help laughing, then straightened his face and said solemnly: "Okay, let's get down to business!"

"Cough cough!"

A fake cough sounded, and all the ministers hid their smiles and returned to their usual seriousness. Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stepped out of the official queue, stood in the hall and bowed to Ying Chang to make a report: "Your Majesty, I have something to do." Play!"

"Quasi-play!" Ying Chang shouted softly!

Jia Luo solemnly raised his hand to write a report: "Your Majesty, as of December 25th, 240th year of Shengqin, according to the statistics, the five prefectures within the Daqin Pass had a new population of 50 million, 150 people were born, old, sick and died, and the three prefectures outside the pass had a new population. 30 million, 310 people died of old age, sickness and death, and the total population increased by [-] million in the whole year!"

“现如今，大秦关内人口数量达到两千490万，其中北州占870万人口、中州占750万人口、东州占550万人口、福州占2105万人口、武州占一百零5万人口！

"Among the five prefectures in Daqin Pass, Beizhou has the largest population increase, with a new population of 70 a year, followed by Zhongzhou and Dongzhou, with an increase of 50. Fuzhou and Wuzhou have just stabilized for less than a year. The growth rate has not been mentioned yet!"

“大秦关外三州人口数量达到一千零20万，古州占350万人口、元州占340万人口、宁州占330万人口，大秦全国总人口达到三千510万人口！”

"Among the 510 million population, women, children, old and young account for about 600 million, and young and old account for more than [-] million!"

“截止圣秦25年十二月三十日统计，大秦全国良田新增800万亩良田，使我大秦全国总良田数量突破四千400万亩，其中北州占一千600万亩、中州占一千300万亩、东州一千100万亩、福州占300万亩、武州占100万亩！”

"Sheng Qin's 25-year national fiscal revenue has once again broken through a record high. According to repeated investigations by the Ministry of Households and local governments, the 25-year grain tax of Sheng Qin is 800 million mu of grain, salt tax is 4000 million taels of silver, commercial tax The price is 9000 million taels of silver, the tariff is 1000 million taels of silver, and the three states outside the customs have made 8000 million taels of silver for the imperial court by selling cattle, sheep and horses!"

"The Commercial Department of the Ministry of Households made a profit of 6000 million taels of silver for the whole year, and the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War made a profit of 600 million taels of silver from selling the B-rat crossbow. Based on the above figures, the total financial revenue of Shengqin in 25 years was 600 million , more than [-] million more than last year's national fiscal revenue!"

"The treasury of the Great Qin State currently has 19 billion taels of silver and 1000 million shi of grain!" Jia Luo told the situation of the state's finances, population, and fertile land for 2000 years in one breath, making many ministers immersed in joy.

Since Great Qin annexed the Great Yan Dynasty, its national power has skyrocketed again!

After listening to Jia Luo's report, Ying Chang showed a satisfied smile on his face. The annual financial income is more than 8000 million taels of silver. I am afraid that the combined financial income of the entire Kyushu and other countries will not be enough to match the financial income of Daqin!

Ying Changyin lost his smile, and asked with a solemn expression, "How many students does my Daqin have now?"

After the words fell, Jia Luo retreated to his seat, and the left prime minister Zhang Feizi took a small step forward, bowing down solemnly and respectfully to write a report: "His Majesty, as of December 25th, 560th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin There are more than 160 million students in schools all over the country, which is more than [-] million more than last year, and the free school system has spread all over the country, including counties and counties in the three states outside the customs!"

Ying Chang nodded with satisfaction, "Education is the foundation of a century-old plan. Every child is the future of my Daqin. The role of the school is not only to cultivate talents, but also an important weapon to assimilate the survivors of the old country. My Daqin can destroy them by force." country, but cannot destroy the culture of their country!"

"If you want to destroy it, you must use it to deal with it. Schools around the country teach the Qin system, read Qin history, and transform the next generation of the old country survivors into real Qin people. Therefore, the importance of schools is no less than that of the army, and it must be popularized in every corner of Great Qin. !"

"I will continue to step up efforts, Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Zhang Feizi bowed down and saluted with a solemn expression.

"That's the best!" Ying Chang nodded, and then immediately asked: "How many active and retired soldiers are there in the reserve battalion?"

Zhang Feizi took a step back and retreated to his original position. Yang Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped out of the official queue, stood in the center of the hall, faced Ying Chang, and bowed down to write a salute. According to statistics on February 25th, there are 560 million active soldiers in the Daqin National Reserve Battalion, and 130 million retired soldiers!"

"I see!" Ying Chang nodded again.

Yang Ze immediately retreated to his position. After Yang Ze returned to his position, Ying Chang looked at the officials with a solemn expression and said: "The current situation of Daqin must be well known to all my lovers. What I want to say is that with the current situation of Daqin The national strength already possesses the strength to dominate the world!"

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, I'm asking for a full order, I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, I'm asking for a reward, I'm asking for four things every day, I hope you will support me a lot, thank you!"

Chapter 775 Cannons are mounted on warships!

"If strength is not used, it is a waste. It is shameful to waste it. This is the opportunity God gave us to rule the world. If we don't cherish it, God will abandon Qin and choose another country. I hope that you will be able to work hard for the rule of the world. !"

"Your Majesty's teachings are to be obeyed, long live my emperor!" All the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty bent down and shouted loudly.

"Where is the commander of the navy!" Ying Chang shouted softly.

Yin Hai, who was standing in the queue of officials, heard Ying Chang's call, stepped out of the queue quickly, bowed down respectfully and replied, "The minister is here!"

Seeing Yin Hai standing up, many ministers couldn't help looking at Yin Hai with curious eyes, thinking, is this the naval master Zhang Xiang is looking for?

"Yin Aiqing, how is your negotiation with Yin Li?" Ying Chang asked blankly.

Yin Hai couldn't help lowering his head, and replied with a bit of bitterness in his tone: "Your Majesty, I have messed up this matter, and the king of Donghai has no intention of surrendering to Qin!"

Hearing this reply, Ying Chang was not surprised at all, and so were the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. If Yin Li surrendered, there was really something wrong with him, and the reason why Ying Chang asked Yin Hai to persuade Yin Li to surrender was nothing more than letting Yin Hai Give up, never thought that Yin Hai could really make Yin Li surrender.

"What's Yin Li doing now?" Ying Chang asked immediately.

"Yin Li dispatched a large number of warships to harass the coastline of our Daqin, but he did not attack, it was just a simple harassment, but this harassment is also fatal. With his navy harassing, it is difficult for our Daqin to send a warship into the sea!" Yin Hai replied with a serious expression.

"Don't be afraid!" Ying Chang smiled and said with a confident smile: "I, Daqin, have recently developed a new type of weapon. This weapon can easily sink a warship at a distance of [-] steps!"

"Oh? What weapon?" Yin Hai suddenly became interested, full of curiosity about this new type of weapon.

Not only Yin Hai was curious, but officials below the third rank were full of curiosity about this new type of weapon.

Ying Chang looked at Fang Zi at the end of the official, and said, "Fang Aiqing, tell me!"

Although Fang Zi has been appointed as a Marquis, his position in the court is based on his official rank, so even if Fang Zi is a Marquis, he still has to stand at the end of the original rank of officials.

Fang Zi stepped out of the official queue, walked a few steps forward, and then bowed solemnly to salute and replied: "The new weapon is called the Ugly Cow Cannon, with a maximum range of [-] steps, and it will explode when it hits the target." , the range of the explosion is within [-] steps, and at the same time, a big fire will be ignited when it explodes, this is definitely a fatal blow to the wooden warship!"

"One thousand nine hundred steps!"

"Oh my God!"

"No wonder His Majesty went to the weapons testing ground overnight to watch the artillery. It turns out that the artillery is so powerful!"

"It will explode, and the range of the explosion will reach thirty paces. Doesn't this mean that if a cannon hits the Qilin Hall, half of all of us present will be killed or injured?"

"You are so courageous, you dare to compare it with Qilin Palace!"

"Uh...you're a bitch!"

"With this sharp weapon, I'm sure I won't be afraid of being harassed by Yin Li!"

Many ministers were shocked by the power of the cannon. For a while, all the officials in the main hall were talking about it, which made the Qilin Hall become noisy.

"quiet!"

Pei Ji, who was standing next to Ying Chang, gave a cold shout!

With a cold shout, all the officials shut their mouths one after another, and the hall instantly quieted down, returning to its solemnity and sanctity!

"Yin Aiqing, if the port is full of Ugly Bull cannons, can you guarantee the launch of the Daqin warship?" Ying Chang asked Yin Hai, looking closely at Yin Hai.

Yin Hai pondered for a while, and after a while, he composed and replied: "If these weapons are really as Mr. Fang said, then they will definitely be able to resist the enemy from two thousand steps away, with a range of two thousand steps. The ship can definitely be launched, but the range is still short, within the range of two thousand steps, only ten large warships can be launched, and there will be no room for more!"

"Does Yin Aiqing have no idea about this ugly cow artillery?" Ying Chang looked at Yin Hai with a half-smile and said with a smile.

"Thoughts?" Yin Hai frowned, not understanding the meaning of Ying Chang's words, not only he did not understand, but all the ministers of the court did not understand.

Seeing that a group of people didn't understand what he meant, Ying Chang had to sigh. His thinking was so advanced that they couldn't figure out what it meant. Regarding this, Ying Chang didn't hold back, and directly confessed: "What I mean is, put the artillery on the warship!"

Yin Hai was dumbfounded and shocked!

Yes, if the warship is equipped with ugly bull-style artillery, wouldn't it be able to kill the enemy at a distance of [-] steps?At that time, there is no need for the two ships to collide at all, relying on the sailors to win the victory, a single shot from a distance, directly blasting the opposite warship out of sawdust!

When this idea came up, Yin Hai had a premonition that the future naval battles would completely change the way of fighting!

While having this premonition, Yin Hai couldn't help but admire the Great Qin Emperor, who was so smart that he thought of using artillery on a warship!

Yin Hai couldn't help but knelt down on the ground, and shouted from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty's words have enlightened me, Your Majesty is so wise!"

"Get up!" Ying Chang smiled lightly.

Yin Hai kowtowed, and slowly got up from the ground. Ying Chang then asked, "I ask you, can you design a warship that can carry the Ugly Bull Cannon? By the way, the Ugly Cow Cannon weighs Thirty thousand catties, when firing a cannon, it will produce a huge back thrust, which is enough to shatter three layers of wood!"

"Thirty thousand catties!" Yin Hai was taken aback, and instantly felt that it was very difficult for the warship to load the Ugly Bull artillery.

"Your Majesty, can you let me see the Ugly Bull Cannon with my own eyes? Or let me watch the cannon firing with my own eyes. Only by knowing the Ugly Cow Cannon can I design a new type of warship!" Even if the warship is equipped with the Ugly Cow Cannon It was very difficult, but Yin Hai still decided to try it. If it succeeds, it will change the way of naval warfare!

"Of course, Fang Aiqing will take you there after you retire!" Ying Chang said without hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yin Hai bent down and saluted to thank you!

Ying Chang waved his hand, signaling Yin Hai to return to his seat, and Yin Hai was proud of himself, and quickly retreated to his seat.

Ying Chang looked at Yang Ze, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and asked with no expression on his face and without anger: "Yang Aiqing, as far as you can see, how many ugly cow-style artillery do I need to place on the Daqin coastline to ensure that the Daqin coastline is worry-free? ?”

"Your Majesty, the coastline of Daqin is more than a thousand miles away. I believe that an ugly bull-style cannon should be set up every thousand steps to defend against overseas enemies. At the same time, for protection and control, at least one garrison of troops is needed to station each cannon. On the edge, to achieve the goal of firing artillery to defend against the enemy at all times!"

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, I'm asking for a full order, I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, I'm asking for a reward, I'm asking for four things every day, I hope you will support me a lot, thank you!"

Chapter 776 Daqin Needs [-] Ugly Bull Cannons!

"At the same time, there are two ports in Wuyang County and Haozhou County. The two ports are stationed by Wuyang Daying and Haozhou Daying respectively. If the prediction is good, these two seaports will be the base camps of our two major naval forces in Daqin. Come on, the two major ports are our infantry camp and our navy camp, and their importance is self-evident. Therefore, two hundred Ugly Bull cannons are installed in each of the two ports to protect the navy camp. While protecting the infantry camp!" Yang Ze bowed down respectfully and replied.

"Will the artillery be controlled by the navy battalion or the infantry battalion?" Ying Chang asked immediately.

"Of course it's the navy camp, and the infantry camp will have additional artillery!" Yang Ze replied without thinking.

Ying Chang fell silent, lost in thought between his brows, and after a few moments of contemplation, he replied calmly: "A cannon is installed every thousand steps along the coastline of more than a thousand miles. In general, five hundred Ugly Bull cannons are needed. Only then can the Daqin coastline be turned into an iron barrel, plus the two hundred Ugly Bull cannons in the two major ports, that is nine hundred Ugly Bull cannons!"

"The infantry camp at Wuyang Harbor is Wuyang Camp, the infantry camp at Haozhou Harbor is Haozhou Camp, Wuyang Camp is the original Bailan Camp, and Haozhou Camp is the original Ningta Camp. Battalion, the former has 15 iron cavalry and [-] infantry, and the latter has [-] Ningta Army cavalry!"

"The two battalions are huge in strength, and they need more artillery. I want to set up ten artillery battalions for each of the two battalions. Each artillery battalion has [-] ugly bull artillery pieces. One thousand artillerymen, about fifty Artillery manning and protecting an ugly bull cannon!"

"Ten artillery battalions are [-] artillery pieces, [-] artillerymen, Haozhou Camp and Wuyang Camp add up, that is [-] artillery battalions, [-] ugly cow artillery pieces, [-] artillerymen, dear friends Do you have any objections to these arrangements?"

Yang Ze frowned slightly, and asked with doubts in his tone: "Your Majesty, are the artillery drawn from the battalions, or recruited separately?"

"Transferred from the reserve battalion, the Ugly Bull Artillery is not a knife, gun, stick, and you can play it with your hands. If you want to control the Ugly Bull Artillery, you need training, and you need to teach them how to use the Ugly Bull Artillery. Therefore, the transferred Artillery officers and soldiers must gather at the weapon testing ground, and the Ordnance Department will arrange for people to teach the artillerymen how to use the Ugly Bull Artillery!" Ying Chang said solemnly.

"Just [-] yuan?" Yang Ze continued to ask.

Ying Chang waved his hand, "Don't rush to determine the number, it's not just the Haozhou Camp and the Wuyang Camp that need to be equipped with artillery, all the camps in Daqin must be equipped with artillery, so let's add five artillery pieces to the Longmen Camp Five artillery battalions will be added to the Manshan battalion, and [-] artillery battalions will be added to the Hulao battalion!"

"Nanguan camp added ten artillery battalions, Tankou camp added five artillery battalions, and Yanshui camp added ten artillery battalions. Yang Aiqing, do the math, how many artillery and ugly cow artillery are needed for these!"

"hiss!"

Many ministers gasped, ten artillery battalions at every turn, really generous, especially Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, his heart was bleeding, Your Majesty, don't treat money as money!

Your Majesty is going to quickly advance the pace of unification!Zhang Feizi was secretly happy.

Zhang Feizi knew very well that the reason why Ying Chang equiped cannons so much was that he wanted to conquer the world and dominate the world as quickly as possible!

Yang Ze's expression became serious, and his brain was calculating rapidly. After a period of mental calculation, he bent down and wrote: "Your Majesty, there are five artillery battalions in the Longmen Camp, five artillery battalions in the Manshan Camp, and five artillery battalions in the Manshan Camp. Twenty artillery battalions in the prison camp, ten artillery battalions in the Nanguan camp, five artillery battalions in the Tankou camp, ten artillery battalions in the Yanshui camp, plus various artillery battalions in the Wuyang camp and the Haozhou camp. Ten artillery battalions, a total of 75 artillery battalions!"

"According to one artillery battalion with 75 artillerymen and 12 Ugly Bull cannons, [-] artillery battalions are [-] artillerymen and [-] Ugly Bull cannons; The Ugly Bull artillery and artillery needed for the coastline is [-] artillery and [-] Ugly Bull artillery!"

Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction, "It's not bad, it's 12!"

"That is to say, 12 active soldiers will be transferred from the reserve battalion?" Yang Ze asked immediately.

"No, it's 32, of which 12 are supplementary artillery for each battalion, and the remaining 20 troops are handed over to Yin Aiqing to form a navy. Wuyang Navy and Haozhou Navy each have [-] navy!" Ying Ying He often said with a blank face.

In one breath, expand the army by 32!
