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

And because Daming had already developed practical electrolytic aluminum technology, the cultural penalty for aluminum products was already very small.

It's such a bargain to buy a little.

The first time Zhu Fugui knew about this kind of sleeping bag was in the news about the illegal refugee camp in southern America.

At that time, when I saw this cool blanket, I thought it was some kind of old-fashioned high-tech, and I called it the superiority of American democracy, but it actually used such a high-end thing for illegal immigrants.

It wasn't until later that he saw its price on Taobao that Zhu Fugui fell into deep thought. The Federal Immigration Service must have made it in China again.

Later, the death of more than 20 athletes in the Gansu Marathon made Zhu Fugui further understand the limitations of this reflective blanket.

Using the principle similar to that of a hot water bottle, this kind of blanket has good thermal insulation performance, but its mechanical performance is too poor, and it is easily damaged when encountering strong winds.

However, as a supplement to tents and barracks, it is still very good to use.

At least in the long night, it can give the Chu soldiers from the south a little warmth.

All kinds of big purchases, in the end Mingshuai Zong Zhu Fugui reluctantly spent 5 million yuan, achieving 1/2 of Su Xunzong's achievement.

The materials were quickly prepared, and the next step was to deliver them in place before the Chu army arrived in Wuchang.

This also requires Daming to conduct friendly "negotiations" with the governors.

Ever since Li Hongzhang, the governor of Suzhou, and Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and established themselves, the Qing court's official administration in the south of the Yangtze River has almost collapsed.

Although it is not as good as after the Wuchang First Uprising, where electricity is everywhere and provinces are independent, at this time, all the governors' offices and military commanders in the south have begun to enclose the self-alliance, and they have not listened to the announcement.

Even in important towns such as Wuchang and Guangzhou, where there are Manchurian cities, there have been appalling movements to eliminate Manchuria.

Emperor Zhu Fugui expressed concern about this.

……

Jiujiang Prefecture is located in the northernmost part of Jiangxi Province, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and has three counties under its jurisdiction. It has been a military center since ancient times.

Back then, Yang Xiuqing sent generals to the west several times in order to regain Jiujiang, an important town that strangled the Yangtze River.

Times have changed, and now it is Liu Kunyi, the governor of Jiangxi, who is stationed in Jiujiang.

Although both Liu Kunyi and Li Hongzhang came from the Hunan Army system and were important officials of the Han nationality, the conflict between the two had always been a long time ago.

Before Li Hongzhang joined the Ming Dynasty, Liu Kun was his biggest opponent for the post of governor of Liangjiang.

The open and secret struggle between the two never stopped.

If it is said that Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang finally parted ways because of their ideals, they became strangers, and even developed to the point of incompatibility, then Li Hongzhang and Liu Kunyi are typical examples of natural conflicts.

After Li and Zuo became self-reliant, the governors, commanders-in-chief, and even the magistrates of a county and a prefecture in the south all began to choose sides.

Some were loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and some voted for Li and left.

Among them, Li Hongzhang is good at dancing with long sleeves and is also strong. There are far more people who vote for Li than those who vote for the left.

As the governor of Jiangxi, Liu Kunyi logically chose to vote for Li Nai, but he was as immobile as a mountain and never sent a letter to Suzhou.

Because he didn't like Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi actually became a model of loyal ministers commended by the Qing court, and he was set up as a model for governors of Han people all over the world.

And Liu Kunyi also acquiesced to this identity for the purpose of defending against Li.

After all, Jiujiang is of great significance to the Yangtze River waterway, and Liu Kunyi is very worried that Li Bandits will also launch a western expedition.

Not only did he put half of Jiangxi's troops in Jiujiang City, but he also moved the government from Nanchang to Jiujiang.

After looking forward to it day and night for nearly half a year, Liu Kunyi did not wait for Li Hongzhang's western expedition army.

On the contrary, the slave capture army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, or the migrant worker recruitment brigade, always went in and out of the hinterland of Jiangxi, abducting the whole village of Liancun.

After a long time, Liu Kunyi's tense nerves finally relaxed.

But at this time, the army of Southern Chu came mightily from Zhejiang and Fujian.

The personal relationship between Liu Kunyi and Zuo Zongtang is pretty good.

So he sent an envoy to ask Zuo Jigao why he violated his Jiangxi border.

The answer was: I am ordered by the Ming emperor to go north to punish Russia. If you can discuss it together, you can send troops here.

Hearing Zuo Zongtang's reply, Liu Kun was dumbfounded.

Kill Russia?

Who should punish Russia?

When others say this sentence, Liu Kunyi will kill him if he doesn't believe it.

But since Zuo Jigao, a mad scholar, said it, Liu Kunyi could only accept it.

Zuo Jigao's ability to fight is well known in the Hunan Army.

He didn't have the confidence to respond to his sharpness.

Chapter 458 Long live on both sides of the strait can't hold back, Master Wang has passed Jiujiang Estuary

After sending out a large amount of food and grass for the trip, Liu Kunyi finally sent the mighty Chu army out of the country without any danger.

This one had just sent Zuo Zongtang away, and Liu Kunyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, immediately afterward, ten small steamers with Li flags came from the east on the Yangtze River.

Usually, there are not no cargo ships coming from the direction of Jiangsu.

But those merchant fleets that sell open goods will not come up with ten small steamers all at once.

The only one with this ability is of course the old and cunning Li Hongzhang.

And the leader of the team was Li Hongzhang's number one general, Liu Mingchuan.

This time, Liu Mingchuan expressed kindly that he would send [-] bolts of Ming cloth, [-] cigarettes at the back door, and [-] Ming silver dollars.

Liu Kunyi was a little moved.

But considering Li Hongzhang's consistent character and the story of Lu Meng crossing the river in white clothes, Liu Kun was afraid that this was Li Hongzhang's coming to Jiujiang to earn his own.

While hesitating, another four or five days passed.

On this day, Liu Kunyi finally made up his mind.

If you don't make money, you're a bastard.

What's more, Li Hongzhang's autograph letter also has Zeng Guoquan's attachment.

You know, Zeng Guofan is still the Prince Shaobao of the Qing Dynasty, and he is still the giant pillar of the Qing Dynasty to shield the troubles.

His younger brother was able to leave money on Li Hongzhang's letter as a guarantee, which is to leave the tail to himself, which shows his sincerity.

If you don't give face to thief Li, you have to give face to Marshal Zeng!

Everyone is the ultimate pure minister who protects the Qing Dynasty together, so what bad thoughts can there be?

Of course, the most important thing is that the bright goods are too fragrant.

That's [-] bolts of Mingcloth, and a few thousand cigarettes are a little less.

Didn't Li Hongzhang take kickbacks for the benefits Ming Jun gave us?

Liu Kun ordered Qi's army and set up the Jiujiangkou Fort, planning to make another blackmail when they crossed the river.

However, soon Liu Kunyi regretted wasting the four or five days of his hesitation.

When he brought his men and horses to Jiujiangkou to buy road money, he saw ten small steamers on the river!

I don't know when it started on the surface of the river. Hundreds of iron-clad ships appeared covering the sky and covering the sun, whining and emitting black smoke, like a dragon destroying the world.

"Marshal, do we still charge the toll..."

Guard A stood on both sides, and asked weakly.

"Take it, take it, take your melon skin!"

Liu Kun slapped him across the face, "Blind your dog eyes, this must be my army arriving tomorrow, why don't you go back and organize the villagers to eat pots of pulp!"

……

Liu Kunyi's judgment was not wrong, this huge fleet was exactly the fleet that Daming had temporarily recruited to deliver supplies to Zuo Zongtang.

The Yangtze River is a natural high-quality waterway. As early as the first Opium War, British gunboats sailed hundreds of kilometers into the Yangtze River to show off their might.

After the Yangtze River waterway was dredged in later generations, the Chongqing section can pass [-]-ton ships, and Wuhan can pass [-]-ton ships.

Although the waterway of the Yangtze River has not been vigorously improved, there is no problem at all in directing [-]-[-]-ton or [-]-[-]-ton freighters to Wuchang.

In recent years, since the release of the shipping company's photo taking, Daming's shipbuilding capacity has blown out.

Limited by the shortage of skilled workers, compared with the Royal No. [-] and No. [-] Shipyards, which can build huge ships of [-] tons, most joint ventures and private-funded shipyards will not produce more than [-] tons of ships.

Two ship types with mature technical reserves, namely the [-]-[-]-ton "Zhu Chenggong-class" multi-functional armed merchant ship, and the [-]-ton "Fuyu-class" transport ship have become the main force of construction.

It is relying on a large number of small and medium-sized ships that supports the rapid growth of the number of immigrants.

Now Zhu Fugui sent a telegram to order Shanghai Ming Lijian to take the lead in leasing the Consulate. The Wuchang Transportation Team jointly organized by Wadao Governor's Mansion and Nanyang United Fruit Co., Ltd. has requisitioned more than 730 large and small ships, but it has only slightly affected Daming's efforts in the North Pacific. The shipping trade shows the prosperity of the civil shipping industry in Ming Dynasty.

……

Liu Kun's head was buzzing.

As a conservative in the Hunan Army, Liu Kunyi has always advocated seeking the road to self-improvement from traditional culture.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but in the era when strong drugs were needed, it must have limited his vision.

In the past few years, Liu Kun has only heard about Daming's military strength and its famous products all over the world, but he has never had any real contact with Daming.

Now seeing a huge fleet that could stop the flow of the Yangtze River, cold sweat was running down my back, and I stood with my legs crossed.

He couldn't help thinking, if that thief Cao had this fleet in the past, and let Zhou Yu and Zhuge Duozhi look like a monster, how could he change his fate against the sky?

Cao A hides, Cao A hides, you deserve it so you don't have to play tricks on Er Qiao!

At this time, the messenger rushed over and reported: "Marshal, the fleet put out a semaphore, saying that they are the merchant ships of Ming Dynasty, and asked why we are sinking into Jiujiangkou, and whether we want to learn from Khwarazimo, who is like a mantis arm and a chariot?"

Liu Kun quickly asked someone to reply, saying that he had admired Da Mingwei for a long time, and he came to watch the ceremony today.

The messengers rode pony horses and ran to the shore, and they exchanged semaphores again.

Immediately afterwards, as soon as Liu Kun passed through the binoculars, he saw that the messenger seemed to have lost his soul, and ran back desperately.

"Commander, the famous general named Morishita said that these armed merchant ships are really useless, and there is nothing to show the commander, so they will perform a show of a thousand guns to add to the fun..."

boom--

Before the orderer could finish speaking, nearly three hundred armed merchant ships exposed their black muzzles and fired shells at the river beach.

Back then, 4 armed merchant ships were able to make the Maori clan fly like dogs, but now it is the more advanced [-] armed merchant ships that fire collectively.

For a moment, a towering water column was set off from the river and the river beach, and the sediment and stones were raised high into the sky, turning into stone rain and falling.

In a short while, the huge river beach, where Liu Kun originally wanted to deploy his troops, became fragmented like the surface of the moon hit by a swarm of meteorites.

A piece of gravel the size of a thumb fell on Liu Kun's forehead, and blood gushed out, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Three thousand Hunan troops and more than 3 Gan Yong were like more than 3 clay figurines at this time, daring not to move.

In the end, it was the governor Liu Kun and Marshal Liu who came to his senses. He was the first to get off his horse, his knees sank heavily into the gravel, and he kowtowed heavily towards the east: "The 600 million elders in Jiangxi—welcome the return of the Son of Heaven. Long live my emperor! age!"

Soon, like dominoes, the defenders of Jiujiangkou fell to their knees, and the sound of Long Live in Hunan accent and Jiangxi tune came and went.

As the so-called long live on both sides of the strait can't hold back, Master Wang has passed the mouth of Jiujiang.

During Shanhu Longsui, the first batch of 270 armed merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, mixed with ten trembling small steamers of the Li family, went upstream together, passed through the Jiujiang River, and sailed to the confluence of Wuchang and Hankou, where the Hanshui River and the Yangtze River meet. .

Chapter 459 The Weary Chu Army

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.

Success or failure turned empty.

Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

The white-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu used to watch autumn and spring.

A jug of muddy wine meets together.

Many things from ancient to modern times are all being discussed with laughter.

In the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, poetry, prose and Fu were far inferior to Tang and Song Dynasties.
