Iron Dynasty

Walking out of the official office, the endless ocean filled his eyes, and layers of white waves were set off in the gust of wind.

The warships of the Great Yu Kingdom are neatly arranged in the military port, grand and spectacular.

Don't be afraid of god-like opponents, but be afraid of pig-like teammates. Da Yuguo has been a true portrayal of this sentence for the past ten years. I understand your concerns, but the development of technology in Europe is not terrible, because they have been developing, and the most A terrible enemy always comes from within, and that's what needs to be vigilant about.

Xiao Ming looked back at Qian Dafu and said word by word, after years of sorting out contemporary historical materials, he found that the destruction of the Central Plains Dynasty was actually buried in his own hands, and the foreign enemy was just a bargain.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the level of science and technology of the Ming Dynasty was much higher than that of the Qing army, but it was still beaten down.

The fundamental reason is that Daming has lost effective management of the country, and one of the most significant problems is taxation.

After all, no tax can be guaranteed by a country, and it is conceivable how low the country's organizational capacity is.

Taking history as a mirror, Xiao Mingcai made up his mind to completely eradicate the previous drawbacks of the Great Yu Kingdom, and reformed the Great Yu Kingdom for a new look.

In ten years, he did it, and now the Great Yu Kingdom is thriving, restoring the glory of the previous empire.

However, the smooth sailing situation did not let him relax, and he has been watching the changes that are taking place in the country to respond at any time.

Now, in his opinion, apart from technology, the biggest change in Dayu Kingdom is the increasingly active thinking of the people.

Although the new-look Confucianism occupies an important position in the Great Yu Kingdom, but with the beginning of cultural renaissance, the trend of a hundred schools of thought contending becomes more and more obvious. Now Qingzhou, whether it is Legalism, Mohism or Huang-Lao, has a sign of rising. Humanistic thought has also attracted many supporters.

The most dangerous of these is the re-emergence of the idea of ​​​​the heaven and the country. It is precisely because of this idea that for a hundred years, the Dayu country, from the powerful to the people, will concentrate on infighting.

For Xiao Ming, this is definitely not a good phenomenon. If the country consumes each other internally, it will lack the motivation to make progress.

Therefore, he needs to hang a sharp sword over his head from the top to the Yu Kingdom, and this sharp sword is the enemy.

Because of this, he now has a calm attitude towards the development of European countries. At present, he still needs these enemies to put a curse on the officials and people of the Great Yu Kingdom.

After all, the industry of the Great Yu country has just started, and the whole country needs to maintain a vigorous fighting spirit.

The goal of defeating the enemy is the source of inexhaustible fighting spirit.

Qian Dafu looked at Xiao Ming, and now he is increasingly unable to see what the emperor is thinking, but fortunately, no matter what Xiao Ming is thinking, Dayu Kingdom has always taken the right path.

The emperor's words are very interesting, but the old slave doesn't understand it very well. Qian Dafu said with a wry smile, but the old slave believes that the emperor's words must be right.

Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head, this Qian Dafu became more and more sloppy.

He ignored Qian Dafu and went to Dengzhou instead.

The purpose of his coming here this time has been achieved, and it is no longer necessary to stay in the military port. After all, Xie Yuan and others still have many things to deal with after the war, so he does not need to participate.

He returned to Dengzhou City and rested for a morning. In the afternoon, he and Qian Dafu and others took a steam locomotive to Qingzhou in the evening.

At this time, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet were already waiting at the station, and informed them of the Dengzhou naval battle before Xiao Ming left.

They also want to know some exact news at this time.

Returning to the palace with everyone, Xiao Ming handed Dick's confession to Pang Yukun in the imperial study for him to read to the ministers.

When Pang Yukun finished reading, everyone's faces were a little solemn.

These two god-killed scum, my country's ten years of development in Da Yu has been destroyed by the hands of these two thieves. Niu Ben said angrily: Your Majesty, Europe dares to attack our military port now, and give them a few more. In ten years of development, aren't they even more rampant.

Yeah, it's a pity that Europe is too far away from here, otherwise we must send troops to destroy it. Luo Quan agreed.

Pang Yukun pondered for a while, and said, Don't worry, the two generals. In the battle yesterday, they lost all their family assets in Nanyang. This is a good thing for the Great Yu Kingdom. We can take this opportunity to capture their colonies.

What Pang Shoufu said is very true. They gave us an excuse to attack. They are famous. Fiji stroked his beard and smiled softly.

Xiao Ming's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and the response of the officials and generals made him very satisfied. At least in their minds, Europe would be a strong enemy of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Going to the world map in the study, Xiao Ming said: We naturally want to seize the colonies in the South China Sea, but our threat is not that much. Tsarist Russia is an extremely dangerous enemy. Now Britain is selling steam engines in Europe, and Tsarist Russia is also a customer. It's not a good thing, and after we captured Yaxa, the Golden Horde is just around the corner, and is cooperating with Russia to thwart our offensive in the north, and a whole new country has been born here, which is also bad news.

The place Xiao Ming pointed to was the North American continent.

According to Dick's words, Britain has basically given up the war against North America, but it still maintains hostility and targets everywhere.

Similar to history, this country even chose America as its name, because an Englishman named it America when he discovered the continent, and the established United States of America still adopted this name.

Xiao Ming was a little confused when he heard the news, but the first time he learned that the United States was in a civil war was three years ago. Based on this calculation, it was time for the American War of Independence to end.

Of course, Xiao Ming was still a little unhappy, because North America was known as the land of heaven. Building a country in this land would enjoy huge geographical advantages, and the resources on this land were also rich.

Pang Yukun, Niu Ben and the others looked at the country marked by Xiao Ming. They did not understand why Xiao Ming attached so much importance to a newly established country.

Your Majesty, is there anything special about this country? Pang Yukun couldn't help asking.

Yes, from now on, we must pay attention to this country, and we must not give it a chance to become stronger. Now you all understand that the world is a dangerous jungle, and the rule of survival is the law of survival. We must use our current advantages for the future. Hundreds of years to lay the foundation for a development.

Xiao Ming said aloud that after the emergence of electricity, the internal combustion engine will be the next research and development goal of the Great Yu Kingdom, and in this way, oil will become an extremely important resource.

In the future, his country is plagued by oil, and he has to learn a lesson to keep oil in his hands from now on, and this will be a huge plan.
