I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

The so-called "young people in their teens" are mere talents, and they are the next ones!

……

In addition to such traps in speech skills, Zhu Fugui also learned the traditional skills of the British, and he also made a lot of margins and blurred the expressions in the Chinese and English versions, and even deliberately created some ambiguities.

In the Chinese version of "Edict of the Ming Emperor to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms", the relevant content is detailed in the front and the back is omitted, mainly saying that the sovereignty belongs to me;

The English version of "Edict of the Ming Emperor to All Nations" is just the opposite. It mainly talks about putting aside sovereignty and joint development, and emphasizes the joint development of the "Great Qing".

From the ghost's brain circuit, it seems that the meaning of the so-called Great Ming Emperor is to invade China with everyone, to open the door and share interests?

Now that the Second Opium War is over, China's local interests, Britain and Russia, have benefited more, but they have not yet reached their peak.

Russians covet the Inner Northeast, daydreaming about Yellow Russia.

The British wanted special interests in Tibet and the Yangtze River interior.

As for the French, they have not even swallowed Vietnam, and there is no shadow of Qingdao in Germany.

Therefore, the saying that the door is open and benefits are equal has a certain audience.

Of course, there must be scolding on the bright side.

After all, you are a magician, and you are also worthy of discussing the division of world cakes with us foreigners?

Stay aside!

It's just that, cursing and scolding, there is no other country that plans to send troops to destroy Ming Dynasty, except for the Lincoln government that has been engaging in appeasement and pretending to be an ostrich, and is now being roasted on fire.

……

Other countries can calculate the cost of war, but the Lincoln government really has no way to play dead.

After all, it was Lincoln himself who had sworn before that it was only "regular" Indian riots in the Seattle area.

Now the reality has given him two big ear blows. The most important port of the United States of America on the west coast has fallen. You still say it was a small riot by the Indians?

Does that mean a repeat of the burning of the White House is a big riot?

"Is Abraham Lincoln an idiot?" "He should be tested for IQ!" "He should receive electroacupuncture from Dr. Porter" and other vicious attacks have appeared on the streets of Washington.

This made Lincoln feel miserable.

He didn't know there was something weird in the Seattle area last year, but could he say it publicly?

Last year, 1864, was an election year for the federal government!

Because of the bad war against the South, Lincoln's popularity ratings were already low.

He even had to abandon his original vice president, a Republican running mate, and instead run jointly with Andrew Johnson, a Democratic politician who flirts with the southern states.

In this way, Lincoln barely passed the test and was re-elected successfully.

If big news broke out in the Northwest region at that juncture, he would have been kicked out of the White House long ago!

Now that the thunder has exploded, the impact on the Lincoln government is naturally quite large, but it is still much better than last year's thunderstorm.

In fact, Lincoln was also set on fire.

He doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the West Coast at all, and he doesn't want to send troops. He knows very well that the biggest threat to the federal government is not some bullshit "Da Ming" across the vast no-man's land, but the southerners, and the Paiges of Disico!

However, Lincoln and the interest groups behind Lincoln must also consider the wishes of the voters.

Several Republican congressmen have warned him that for the interests of the Republican Party in the Senate and House of Representatives in the mid-term elections, even if it is a gesture, they must send troops to the Northwest.

It is best to regain part of the territory.

……

Lincoln's idea actually coincides with Zhu Fugui's.

Zhu Fugui also hopes to have a fight with him, but it has to be limited to traditional martial arts.

It would be best for Ming to regain a little bit of territory so that they can explain to the Yin people.

On the whole, in fact, it is no longer the Lincoln government that is really capable of threatening the survival of Ming Dynasty. It is the British Pacific Fleet that can really threaten Ming's deathbed.

If the British cut off the waterway between Daming and the Far East at all costs, then the development of Ming will be severely damaged.

Zhu Fugui has decided that after conquering the entire territory of California, Ming's strategic focus will temporarily shift from land power to sea power, and from America to East Asia.

Even if the eastern part of North America cannot be regained in the future, to be honest, it is actually not a big deal.

But if the crucial Far East is lost, then Daming, with a population of about 30, will be a tree without roots and a duck without water.

In other words, His Majesty Zhu Fugui had a rare tacit understanding with Commander Lincoln.

What he talks about is doctrine, and what he thinks about is business.

Although he shouted that "North American anti-human slave owners gang must be destroyed", His Majesty Fugui is very clear that for a foreseeable period of time, as long as he maintains Citigroup and continues the civil war, there is no need to cross the Mississippi River to "destroy the remaining Bravely chasing the poor."

After all, there is an old saying: "The poor should not chase after them"!

Daming's eyes should be put back to the Far East, to cultural construction.

Chapter 244 New Deal

New Caofeidian.

Royal Second Dockyard, meeting room.

Although Daming has no shortage of ports, and Xinji and Xinhu are two excellent ports, but in terms of superior geographical location and reliability of defense, there is still no place that can compare with the Xinjin-Xincaofeidian area.

This is proved by the US military in later generations. This is an impenetrable port that can park more than five aircraft carriers at the same time and is tightly fortified.

Whether it's the Juchino line of defense on land, or the forts on the coast and outlying islands, Daming has invested a lot of resources here.

Therefore, not only the Royal Navy Headquarters, the Royal Naval University and other confidential departments of the navy are located here, but the Royal First Shipyard is also located in Xinjin.

And at the end of last year, the second shipyard, which is larger than the first shipyard, was also completed and put into operation on New Caofeidian Island.

Regardless of the first ship or the second ship, their importance is obviously higher than that of imperial units such as Xinfeng Royal Watch Factory and Xinfeng Royal Bicycle Factory.

The factory directors and royal inspectors of the latter two factories have only Zheng Qipin, which is equivalent to the county level.

The factory directors and imperial governors of the first ship and the second ship are as high as the third rank, which is equivalent to the department level.

It can be seen from the middle foot that the imperial court attaches great importance to the shipbuilding industry.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that after the publication of the "Emperor Ming's Edict to All Nations", the ranks of all officials in the Ming Dynasty have been raised a wave.

Once the "Ming Emperor's Edict to All Nations" is published, it means that Ming will no longer hide his identity from the world.

This means that the puppet Qing court may also know the existence of Ming Dynasty.

Although based on Zhu Fugui's understanding of the puppet Qing court in the 1860s, their nerves are probably half a beat behind the world, but it is only a matter of time before they recover.

Therefore, whether they like it or not, the generals of the Ming Dynasty will contact the puppet Qing court sooner or later, so that they will be known to the people of their homeland.

At this time, it is not a good thing for the officials of the Ming Dynasty to be too low-ranking, and it will appear that the court will be ungrateful.

Although the officials inside Daming didn't think so, they all knew how rich the salary of Daming was, but the officials and common people in the homeland of China didn't know it!

Chinese people still like to be an official, and they also have a certain yearning for the first-class official residence.

It is definitely not conducive to the work of the united front when you hear that all members of the Ming Dynasty are at the fifth and sixth ranks.

Of course, too much is too much.

Excessive rewards and rewards will also cause the devaluation of officials and titles, giving people the feeling of a grassroots team.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a typical negative example.

Now the Ming Dynasty has a land of 80, which is at least equal to that of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is also reasonable to raise the order of officials appropriately.

For example, Wang Jie, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was classified as the second grade according to the Ming system.

Geng Junhua, the left servant, is the second rank.

Therefore, belonging to the Ministry of Industry, it is quite extraordinary that the rank order of the leaders of one ship and two ships has reached from the third rank.

Of course, Wang Shangshu, who is the second rank, was originally a teacher who hammered firearms for the general of Hubei, and these senior officials at the deputy department level of the Ming Dynasty also did not come from high-level backgrounds.

For example, the Royal Inspector of the Second Ship was His Majesty Zhu Fugui's original driver. Jiang Ye, who was born in Jinyiwei, is now just a young man in his early 20s.

After three months of training in the Guozijian Cadre School, he was parachuted to the Second Royal Shipyard to supervise the production of the factory on behalf of the emperor.

Although he doesn't understand production, Jiang Ye has specially trained the relevant abilities of political work and discipline inspection.

In addition to supervising the cleanliness of the factory, more importantly, he wants to directly publicize the grace of the emperor in the factory, train the armed forces, and be ready to defend Marshal Zhu with arms at any time.

At the same time, Jiang Ye had to go to the capital every three months to meet the Holy Spirit, to report to the Lord Long Live, and to receive the latest and highest instructions.

And Jiang Ye's partner, the director of the Second Royal Shipyard, is a technical backbone transferred from a ship, a shipbuilder in his 30s.

And this master Guo was a carpenter building fishing boats by the Taihu Lake two years ago.

To sum it up... Although my ministers of the Ming Dynasty have returned to their positions, they are still quite down-to-earth.

At this time, several high-ranking officials from the two royal shipyards were listening to the angel's decree respectfully.

"Long live God said a number - 98!"

Ito Hirobumi held the document in his hand, stood in front of the leadership of the first shipyard and the second shipyard, and said in a Chinese accent as standard as possible: "Before August, the total population of Ming Dynasty must reach the goal of breaking through 8! Gentlemen, this It is the hope of Long Live, and it is also the grand plan of the empire!"

After all, it was the Bismarck of the Far East in history. Since Ito Hirobumi became secretary, Zhu Fugui handled government affairs much more easily.

In the previous big rewards, Ito Hirobumi finally got a formal establishment like Huangmen Order.

Just like Mrs. Ru is not a wife, and Tong Jinshi is not a Jinshi, Ru Huangmen Ling is also not a Huangmen Ling.

Otherwise, Zhu Fugui would have to cut off Ito Hirobumi's 3cm ugly thing.

After all, Huang Menling was a servant in the palace during the Han Dynasty and an eunuch who was close to the emperor.

The Huangmen order is only six hundred stones, which is equivalent to a small official of the seventh rank.

But since ancient times, the status of the close ministers around the emperor, the status of the world, naturally cannot be directly reflected by the grade of goods.

For example, after Huangmen ordered Ito Hirobumi to read out the oral order of Lord Long Live, the four people in the shipyard hurriedly invited him to take a seat in the conference room.

Gu Laoyao, the director of the No. [-] Shipyard, is the oldest among the four and is also the backbone of everyone. He said cautiously:

"Mr. Ito, there are now three and a half fleets traveling to and from the Pacific Ocean, and they can transport 4 people back in a month. By the end of the month, it will be 6 months.

Four six twenty-four, plus the 30 people in Daming now, it is only 54, and there is still a gap of 44.

According to my estimate, to make up for this gap, ten more fleets must be built one after another... This... how can this be done! "

After Director Gu finished speaking, Guo Yun, the director of the second shipyard, nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with the old factory director.

"You don't have to worry!"

Ito Hirobumi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Long live God is the king of the world, how can you make the old brothers be those clever women without rice? Long live God has already ordered the Ministry of Accounts to fill up the staff in your two factories." , Use those idle docks to greatly expand production capacity!"

"Oh I got it!"

Gu and Guo hurriedly counted their fingers, and then shook their heads, "No, Mr. Ito, even if all the docks are used up, it will not be able to meet the needs.

Now that the construction of Xinlu is in the ascendant, Xinsu has just been included in the territory, and a lot of waste is waiting to be built. Seeing that Xinzhe, Xinmin, and Xinyue will soon become the territory of Ming Dynasty, these places need to build large-scale offshore ships.

Counting these orders, there will still be a big gap! "

Ito Hirobumi shook his head again and said: "It's okay, you guys don't need to worry about these chores, Long Live Lord has already made arrangements, you just need to work hard to complete the orders of the Navy Yamen!"

Chapter 245 Private Enterprises, Warships, and the Mysterious Long Live Lord

The so-called Long Live Lord's arrangement is actually a new deal that Daming is about to start.

That is, starting from the shipbuilding industry, the openings of private factories in Daming were gradually opened.

It's a big matter, and Hirobumi Ito will naturally not reveal his words casually.

For a long time, the economic system of the Ming Dynasty was basically a single royal ownership system, and Zhu Fugui himself was the only landlord and capitalist in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after two years of economic development, the people of Ming Dynasty have accumulated a considerable amount of capital.

These capitals are not only the wages paid by Zhu Fugui, but also intangible capitals such as knowledge and technology, and even the increasingly affluent population.

Zhu Fugui is the son of heaven, and it is impossible to do everything in a big way after all.

Zhu Fugui's own positioning of the Ming royal family after a hundred years is no more than a little more noble than the Thai royal family, a little richer than the Saudi royal family, a little harder waist than the Japanese royal family, and a little longer life than the British royal family.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui never excluded private capital from participating in the construction of Daming.
