Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Under the circumstances that there is no way to change it, it is inevitable that they will look at these princes.

The emperor fully wants to know, among these princes in the future, which prince is the most pedantic, who likes to hug the most, and which prince is definitely the most scholarly and civil servant!

Such is the nature of human beings.

Many people only care about the interests of themselves and their families and cronies.

For many people, an incompetent or conservative and pedantic emperor is the most perfect emperor.

The Holy Son of Heaven ruled from the bow, how could the officials who had no restraint be unhappy.

"good."

In the end, the emperor, as always, also gave a compliment in an impartial way.

It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to show the slightest preference for which prince before he really determines which one is the crown prince.

In terms of successors, the emperor's rationality has completely suppressed any other emotions.

With such an attitude, the princes were obviously a little disappointed, but this emotion disappeared without a trace in just a moment.

A prince seemed to casually glance at the civil servants and military generals present, and his inner thoughts seemed to be extremely clear.

Accompanying him are the ministers of various ministries, the first-class military staff of the general staff, the governors of the five armies, and all the important ministers of the court...

"Your Majesty, the ship has arrived."

Soon, Chang Heng quickly walked to the emperor and replied.

The emperor waved his hand, and then led all the princes and all the civil and military officials towards the warship docked at the pier.

"This warship is named Hengchuan, and it was rebuilt from the former Mingfu ship by the Denglai Shipyard..."

Chang Heng accompanied the driver, explaining carefully.

The emperor looked around at the warship, and his heart was naturally clear.

Daheng's warship development can be divided into two stages.

First, it can be called the pre-Ming era.

That is to say, the warships of the Denglai Navy and the Jiangnan Navy were mainly warships from the Ming Dynasty.

The blueprints for shipbuilding are all based on the materials of the previous Ming Dynasty, and the cannons on the ship are also the same set of the previous Ming Dynasty.

Afterwards, Daheng ruled the world, the order became normal, the navy was reorganized, and the improvement of the artillery of the warships naturally also entered the right track.

The warships that are more in line with the times, and the artillery that is more in line with naval warfare, all become more formal with the increase of national power and the popularization of new learning concepts.

The Bohai Navy, the Beijing Army of the Daheng Navy, is naturally the first naval fleet to eat crabs.

The newly developed and improved warships and artillery are the first to be equipped with the Bohai Navy.

The emperor is almost familiar with warships, artillery, and data on paper, but this is undoubtedly the first time he has seen the real thing.

There is no doubt that, in the past, Daheng's naval warship artillery was still comparable to that of Xiyi, but now, Daheng's military equipment has been the same in Daheng Academy of Engineering for more than ten years. With the huge input of manpower and material resources, and the new learning becoming more formal and systematic, Xiyi has already been left behind.

Just like the constant ship in front of us, with three upper and lower floors, driven by sails, if we talk about the craftsmanship of warships, this era.They are all about the same, even if there is a difference, it is not much different.

However, the intensity of firepower has completely crushed the Xiyi ships operating within the scope of East Asia.

A constant ship is equipped with fifty artillery pieces, all heavy artillery pieces weighing several thousand catties, and eighty guns of various types, both light and heavy.

The most important thing is that with the development of the new learning system and science and technology, Daheng's ordnance has already made great strides.

In the Daheng Academy of Engineering, there were even experimental samples of breech-loading large-caliber guns that were successfully fired.

Gunpowder has already completely got rid of the black powder that was difficult to form a system in the past, and is improving rapidly in the standardization and scientificization.

Of course, even the custom-mounted flintlock guns that have been popularized in the current Daheng Army have already surpassed Xiyi.

It's just that many improvements in ordnance, even if they have reached the point where they are practical enough, the emperor just hides them deep in the Academy of Engineering and does not let them appear, or they are only installed and tested on a small scale in the Yongwei Battalion of the Forbidden Army.

The reason is naturally very simple.

After all, armaments are different from civilian objects.

If things for civilian use are improved and promoted, they will benefit the country and the people.

As for ordnance, if there is improvement, if it is implemented, the money and material resources of Daheng's more than 100 million army are by no means a small amount.

Now Daheng's ordnance is enough to face any war, and it has already stood at the forefront of the world, and as the new learning system becomes more and more complete, it will inevitably usher in a technological blowout period.

Furthermore, the communication between the East and the West is unprecedented.

The emperor is more inclined to develop one generation, apply one generation, and reserve one generation.

Only in this way can Daheng's absolute strength be guaranteed...

……

Chapter 693

It wasn't until late at night that the rehearsal came to an end.

The emperor stood on the warship, on the pitch-black sea, what caught the emperor's eyes was the twinkling fires like stars all over the sky.

The warships were brightly lit, and they returned to the water village in an orderly manner. The distance was so far that the emperor could smell the thick smoke of gunpowder burning.

The Son of Heaven obviously has an inexplicable obsession with this smell.

The war of gunpowder and fire is the scene of future war and the future of Daheng.

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he could faintly see the meaning of thinking. The accompanying princes looked around curiously on the warship, and most of them couldn't hide their longing.

Young people always have an inexplicable longing and longing for war, the billowing smoke, iron and fire.

But obviously, with the officials accompanying them, no matter how much the princes have ideas, they have to behave themselves.

The emperor, on the other hand, obviously doesn't care about the rules.

At the end of the review, and it was still late at night, the emperor went to the office of the Shipping Department in Tianjin. The dignified emperor started to look at the daily affairs of the Shipping Department in Tianjin.

If it is to inspect the navy, the Bohai Sea Navy is still prepared, and the sudden attack by the emperor will catch the entire Tianjin Shipping Department by surprise.

The accounting affairs are placed on the table, who would have thought that the dignified emperor would go to personally review the affairs of this mere municipal bureau.

For officials from top to bottom of Tianjin Shipping Department, this is undoubtedly a sleepless night.

Although, the emperor asked them to go back to rest without accompanying them.

In the middle of the night, the Shibosi's government office was still brightly lit, and the government office was also heavily guarded, with soldiers on guard everywhere.

In the lobby of the government office, after sitting at the table, the emperor flipped through the affairs files of the Tianjin Shipping Department.

Tianjin Shipping Department is undoubtedly a very special existence.

Just like the role of the Bohai Navy, the Tianjin Shipping Department seems to be involved in the centralization of power.

The government of the Son of Heaven is to balance the North and the South as much as possible, and its fundamental policy is to make the gap between the rich and the poor between the North and the South as balanced as possible.

The prosperity of the south is inevitable. Even if the sea ban is not lifted, the south will inevitably be richer than the north. Now that the sea ban has been lifted, the policy supports commerce, even if the imperial court focuses on the north and does not have much energy to pay attention to the south of the Yangtze River.

Just let the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River develop naturally, but even if it is just this, the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River will undoubtedly increase rapidly.

But the North is clearly different.

The center of gravity of the world's wealth has already moved south.

The border troubles in the northern border have also been stretching since ancient times.

For example, the capital city was still a desolate place hundreds of years ago.

Not to mention, these years, there are still continuous natural disasters.

The existence of the Shipping Department in Tianjin, just like Liao Province and the Northwest Silk Road, is also an engine that drives the prosperity of the North.

With the capital as the center, Tianjin, Liao Province, and the Northwest Silk Road, the North-South commercial exchanges drive the development of the North.

In terms of wealth and poverty, even if the branches cannot be weak, they must be strong.

This point is the will of the emperor, and it is also the will of the entire court civil and military.

This is also the most fundamental reason why the emperor has been suppressing the idea of ​​moving the capital in his heart.

The center of the imperial court lies in the north, and the civil and military officials of the imperial court, even those from the south of the Yangtze River, will inevitably pay more attention to the north.

And once the imperial court moves to Jiangnan, there is no doubt that the imperial court cannot pay too much attention to the north.

This is the root cause of why it is difficult for the dynasty in the south, which has a long history, to make pioneering moves.

It is human nature to guard one's own one-acre three-point land to live!

The capital is set in the north, and facing the threat of northern Xinjiang, the imperial court naturally devotes itself wholeheartedly to the north. The south, on the contrary, because of its wealth and tranquility, is its own back garden, and will not relax too much.

The emperor doesn't know what the future will be like, but the emperor knows very well that no matter how many foundations he has laid, he can't afford to sell his father and don't feel distressed.

The only way is to let every foundation be worth more than what you pay, even if the king is fatuous and the minister is stupid, he will not let these foundations be abandoned or abandoned.

Even if it is deserted and abandoned for a while, there will always be a time to return.

What the emperor is doing now, in the words of later generations, is to stimulate domestic demand and develop foreign trade.

It's just that this era does not have the framework of that era in later generations, fists are the last word.

Fortunately, Daheng in this era has very hard fists!

After about an hour, the emperor slowly put down the last dossier in his hand.

The so-called water is clear and there are no fish. This truth is naturally clear to the Son of Heaven.

There are many problems, but these problems are not worth mentioning compared with the benefits of the development of Tianjin Shipbuilding Division in recent years to Daheng.

Even if this credit can only be accounted for by the Shibo Division itself, it can only account for a small part, but it must not be ignored.

The emperor let out a long breath, lay back, and leaned against the back of the chair, as if thinking of something, his eyes seemed a little dazed.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly resounded.

Immediately, a figure quickly appeared in the hall and bowed to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty."

"Is it done?"

The Son of Heaven made a faint sound.

"Your Majesty, the leader of Bailian, the leader of the Quanzhou sub-rudder of Bailian, the saint of Bailian... all obey the law!"

It was rare for Li Ruolian to have the confidence to speak out forcefully.

The Son of Heaven frowned, and immediately got up: "After killing one batch, there will be another batch, we must persevere in strangling!"

"Daheng, a cult like Bailian is not allowed!"

"I understand."

Li Ruolian quickly responded, and then, after hesitating for a while, Li Ruolian had the courage to report: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Say."

The emperor frowned.

Li Ruolian hesitated for a while, and finally, under the increasingly unfriendly eyes of the emperor, he spoke with difficulty:

"Your Majesty got the information, Bailian Remnants probably got the news of Your Majesty's inspection tour, and is preparing to assassinate His Majesty during your inspection tour!"

"Assassinate me?"

The emperor couldn't help laughing out loud as if he heard a big joke.

There are tens of thousands of cavalry in the Yongwei Battalion, enough to run rampant all over the world.

In this world, even if an army of hundreds of thousands of Mongolians came, the tens of thousands of cavalry from the Yongwei Battalion would be enough to resist.

Even if it's impossible to assassinate him head-on, how about poisoning him secretly?assassinate?

The emperor suddenly felt that, and it had been a long time, he hadn't loosened his muscles and bones.

It has been a long time since his knife, which has followed him to fight in the north and south, slaughtered countless people, has seen blood for a long time.

After a long time, the emperor restrained his smile:

"You arrange it, I'm waiting for them to assassinate!"

"I want to see how the rat in the gutter got on the stage!"

"I understand."

Li Ruolian was sweating profusely, this was really not a good job, but no matter what, it must be his business.
