Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Fang Jinnan seems to have called you sister?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"Because I slapped Li Xiangjun, if she had, she would have killed Li Xiangjun on the spot. Your Majesty, why didn't you kill her?"

"Because Hou Fangyu wants to exchange her for Zhu Cihuan." Zhu Youjian really wanted to kill Li Xiangjun, because of the child in Yang Jing's belly, this reason is enough.

"The third prince is in Wu Sangui's hands, why should Hou Fangyu exchange it?" Xiong Lijing asked.

"Hou Fangyu has no bottom line. He has already sold Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui is also ruthless. In order to equip the new firecrackers, he spent a lot of money and summoned many craftsmen to make the barrels day and night.

I originally thought that he could not produce new gunpowder without a steam engine, but who knew that guy actually ordered someone to make a huge gear, and then drove a dozen horses to turn the winch to drive the centrifuge, and forcibly produced the new gunpowder. "

Zhu Youjian was also shocked after receiving the Shaanxi information provided by Hou Fangyu. Chinese people have never lacked wisdom, especially reverse engineering, and they always think of some strange ways to realize it.

"Then don't we lose the advantage?" Xiong Lijing asked worriedly.

"No, they will never catch up with us in terms of production efficiency. Even if the technology is at the same level, it is time to compete for national strength. Daming's national strength is far above Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui will not understand, he just has no way to go. That's all."

"Then why don't we accept them?" Xiong Lijing was a little curious, why did Zhu Youjian not want Wu Sangui.

"It's their own fault to choose this path. If a person kills all his back roads, he can't blame others. Wu Sangui is such a person." Zhu Youjian remembered the ending of Sangui in the official history, this repetition An impermanent person finally leads himself to a dead end.

Xiong Lijing nodded thoughtfully, and then said a digression: "I heard that Chen Guifei is going to Yangzhou to become a monk?"

A layman is a believer who does not leave home, and generally refers to a practitioner who lives in a temple and does not get ordained.

Zhu Youjian stood up and took Xiong Lijing's hand and said: "She can't accept the gossip outside, and she is always guilty of the people in Yangzhou. This is a demon, which cannot be solved."

Chen Yuanyuan, who was born in Yangzhou, could not accept the criticism from the outside world, so she could only choose to become a monk.But she is the emperor's woman, so she finally chose to be a layman.

The most beautiful flower in Ming Dynasty in this era finally withered in the temple in Yangzhou.

Chapter 449: The Emperor of Nanjing City Lays Maps

The sixth year after the crossing is the 23rd year of Chongzhen, March of 1650 in the Western calendar.

After a winter of severe cold, the whole south of the Yangtze River is full of spring and vitality.The first swallows have already built their nests under the eaves of the imperial palace, and they are the creatures that most despise the imperial power.

Beside the flowers all over the yard, a group of people basked in the sun, drinking wine and eating barbecue around a long table.Far away outside the courtyard, a group of professional chefs are busy.But in addition to the main food supply, in fact, in this independent small yard, there are also some small barbecue stoves, which are specially used by people in the yard.

Zhu Youjian is a person who likes to discuss the most important things in a free and relaxed environment and atmosphere. The past year and a half without large-scale wars has completely consumed the grand strategic plan formulated by the entire Ming Dynasty.

Now is the time to consider renegotiating a new strategic plan.

Those who can enter this courtyard today are all those with strategic vision that Daming can gather under Zhu Youjian.Needless to say, Zhu Youjian, others include Li Yan, Zuo Maodi, Chen Zilong, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Huang Zongxi, Fang Yizhi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Zhu Shunshui, and a group of super big bulls.

The characteristics of these people are extremely obvious, that is, most of them have just entered middle age, which is the most suitable age for career in life.The youngest Wang Fuzhi is also 30 years old this year, and he is also the latest person to join Zhu Youjian's core team, which is equivalent to Zhu Youjian's new wave of key training targets.

The domestic environment has basically not changed much, but the gap in national strength is getting wider and wider.From an agricultural point of view, after the Ming Dynasty in the south completed the recovery of productivity north of the Yangtze River, relying on abundant water power networks and large-scale concentrated farm development, food production has completely got rid of external dependence, and it can be said that it has accumulated a lot of resources. war capital.

In the north, Hou Jin's productivity also recovered under Hong Chengchou's ingenious movement. In addition, Dorgon went to Tunguska for two years, and nearly 50 East China Sea Tartars and nearly 50 Koreans were brought to the Northeast by him. Temporarily filled the short board of insufficient population.There are rumors that Dorgon's tentacles have been extended to the extreme north, and it should have come into contact with the Inuit.

The most difficult thing should be Wu Sangui. The population in Guanzhong is not enough to support his plan to raise troops, but Wu Sangui is still very good at fooling around. He actually cleaned up the entire Northwest and has a large number of Hetao war horses. On this point, Daming and Hou Jin Nothing compares to him.

Under the external environment, the 30-year war in Europe had come to a complete end in 1648, and Ming Dynasty had lost the best development opportunity of this century, which is also due to God's will.Zhu Youjian can guess that the next few decades will be a period of healing for Europe. The war wiped out about 25 to 40 percent of the population of the Germanic states; 60.00% of the population of Melania was killed, a quarter of the population of Silesia was killed, and nearly half of the males in the Germanic states were killed.

Zhu Youjian once thought that if the Ming Dynasty at this time could have a fleet capable of destroying the main European navy in the Zheng He period, then the century would be destined to be dominated by the Orientals, but it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty did not have this kind of strength.

The already gray-haired Wang Chengen was calling two eunuchs to bring in a freshly roasted elk. The elk was not only sprinkled with cumin from the northwest, but also pepper noodles from Hunan, which smelled delicious from a distance.

"Your Majesty, the deer was sent from the north, the cumin was sent from the northwest, and even these spices were sent by foreigners from Nanyang." Wang Chengen explained.

"The north wants our salt, the northwest wants our cloth, and the foreign devils in Nanyang are staring at our tea and porcelain. If it weren't for our millions of troops hiding in the barracks every day, I am afraid these people would not send these Has something come here?!" Zhu Youjian walked to the side of the barbecue and said.

"That's not easy. If they don't send it over, we'll grab it ourselves!" Li Dingguo said eagerly.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

In the past two years, Daming has been training troops, and almost all the troops rarely leave the barracks.The outside world also knows very little about the situation of the Ming army.

"Why, my general Li is itching?" Zhu Youjian said, in fact, he also understood that with Li Dingguo's character, he was already impatient after two years of teaching in school.

"That's right! The emperor put the subject in Nanjing, and the subject is left with the ability to let the mother-in-law have children." Li Dingguo teased, and everyone burst into laughter again.

"In just over a year, your military academy has completed two batches of more than 1 preparatory junior officers and more than 5000 middle and senior generals. This is much more difficult than giving birth. Do you want to give you an excellent fertility award?"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

"Your Majesty, the key issue is that if he can be born at the Military Academy, our Ministry of War will be able to catch and raise him. The more the better!" Li Yan said.

"No! The training time for preparatory students is still too short. I feel like I'm rushing the ducks to the shelves. Soldiers can be trained in one and a half years, but there is still a shortage of training officers. A good company and platoon leader on the battlefield can save Many people died." Li Dingguo sighed, and everyone nodded.

"As there will be fewer and fewer wars in the future, we will eliminate preparatory students, and then there will be junior college students, undergraduate students, and professional graduate students. At that time, more and more time will be left for them, and more and more talents will be cultivated. The more professional.

But not now, the pressure we are facing is still too great, and we are surrounded by ferocious beasts, so we have to rush into battle.

I invite you here today to discuss what we should do next.After two years of rest, we already have the strength to use troops abroad, but I still can't figure out who should be the first to deal with.Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a discussion. "

"Huh!" Everyone immediately felt uncomfortable.The people who thought it was just a simple gathering never expected to come here to discuss such an important matter.

With a wave of Wang Chengen's hand, all the eunuchs and guards who were close to this small courtyard retreated immediately, not even the sentry posts at the gate could be left behind.This is much safer than in the main hall of the government. All the serving work of everyone is handed over to the inner guard.

Zhu Youjian looked at everyone, and then spread out a large map on a table.This is the latest map of all countries. Of course it is not as accurate as the world map of later generations, but it is much better than the world map of this era.

"This is the world under our feet. I call it the Earth."

After two years of promoting the basic knowledge of science and engineering, everyone here basically understands the basic knowledge of astronomy, and no one will talk nonsense about the round sky and the earth anymore.Especially with the navy's collection of overseas information, many people finally realized that the Africa and America mentioned by the emperor really existed.

"Your Majesty, it's impossible for our Ming Dynasty to be so small?" 50-year-old Zhu Shunshui was dumbfounded. The territory of Daming in the picture is really pitiful, and there are many large countries around Daming, which is a far-reaching blow. It created a super beautiful image of the Central Empire in everyone's mind.

"It's not wrong. If you don't believe me, ask Zheng Chenggong." Zhu Youjian said with certainty.

"Yes, this map is accurate." Zheng Chenggong was the person responsible for collecting the maps of various countries, and it was his subordinates who finally made the map, and they also got the world map drawn by Europeans.

It is precisely because of the map drawn by the Europeans that everyone fully believes what Zhu Youjian said, because the Zheng family really knew what the Europeans experienced on the sea long ago.

Zhu Youjian made a final correction to this map, of course he did not fill in Australia and Antarctica.

"Facing the map, let Zheng Chenggong come and tell you about the earth we are facing!"

Zhu Youjian handed the teaching stick to Zheng Chenggong, and then hid aside to eat.Zheng Chenggong taught the world history of this era, so he was not interested in listening.

4 Fifty Chapters: Observing the World and Discussing Strategy

After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, Zhu Youjian drew a circle on the picture and said: "This is the ideal territory in my heart."

"Huh." Everyone gasped, and everyone thought: This is too big.

"Your Majesty, are we going to kill people in these places?" Gu Yanwu, who has a bit of a rock and roll youthful temperament, was startled by Zhu Youjian's words.
