Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Shipbuilding is a problem, and Bailang's idea is to go hand in hand - for coastal navigation and inland navigation, flat-bottomed sand boats can be used, which have a large cargo capacity.But for long-distance voyages and operations, you must use a sharp-bottomed boat with a keel. For domestic large logs, you have to go to Sichuan and the Northeast, which are the kind of ghost places where transportation is extremely inconvenient.Moreover, the wood still needs to be dried in the shade, which takes less than two years to complete.

Even if Bailang knew about the overpressure steam drying technology, it would be useless. There is a shortage of large wood for Chinese shipbuilding.Therefore, it is necessary to use splicing keel technology. If possible, Bailang would actually like a metal keel, but he doesn’t have one.Steam engines are not possible now - there is no prerequisite for steam engines until the coal-iron complex can be rolled out on a large scale.There are many parts that must be made, including gears and crankshafts.

These all require at least hydraulic machines, and the Huangpu River flows quite fast, so it should be fine - at least it can be used to drive a drilling machine to drill gun barrels and bores.

Those maritime merchants in Zhejiang and Fujian used to evade taxes on a large scale, and their wealth was measured in tens of millions. These people are both maritime merchants and pirates, and now they are being beaten on land - what Bailang wants is their wealth, and as for the issue of channels Not big.There is a huge demand for Ming products these days. Even if all these Ming merchants are killed, a new group of people can easily restore the original channels.

Therefore, Bailang can be said to have bloodbathed Zhejiang and Fujian - the maritime merchants and local wealthy families who failed to board the ship in time and escaped were almost wiped out by him.Among the local officials in the two provinces, those who worked in other places can luckily survive if most of them return their stolen goods. The local officials are doomed.They were dragged out in droves and beheaded.The corpse was casually thrown into the dug ditch and then buried. A lot of distiller's yeast soaked in warm water and some lime were also sprinkled in to speed up the decay.

It would be better for everyone to die soon.

Bailang made a big fortune. There was not much land in Zhejiang and Fujian. The land tax could not be collected much, but commercial tax could be collected. Bailang was planning to list a government-run commercial bank in Shanghai County and issue guidance prices to allow small businessmen to They go to various places to collect goods and then sell them to several large merchants, including government-owned enterprises, and the tax is withheld by these large merchants.He is not going to ask small businesses and farmers selling tea and handicrafts to collect taxes. What he collects is indirect taxes.

By this time, he had been out of the capital for more than nine months—this emperor had set a precedent since Yongle, not being in the capital for such a long time.Wanli's martial arts skills were far superior to Yongle's, and probably not as good as Taizu's expulsion of the Tartars. Bailang swept across Mobei and completely defeated Mongolia. Unlike Yongle, who always attacked with an army of 50, Bailang The largest number was more than [-] troops.

Bailang didn't kill all the merchants. He also wanted to form the Ming Dynasty Navy, and this navy must be doing business while fighting pirates. The first step was to build a Western hull with Chinese sails, and then equip it with about [-] cannons. Fighting - the six-pounder cannon is probably not powerful enough, as is the twelve-pounder cannon, so Bailang prepared a sixteen-pounder long-barreled cannon for them.It's also a rear-mounted type.

Let the blacksmith hand-make the interrupted bolt breech, and the cannonball will spin and have a bullet holder anyway, so the accuracy and power are guaranteed.That is to say, this is used for naval guns. Considering the production speed and cost, a large number of six-pound field guns are equipped with simple front loading.In the future, field artillery should uniformly use twelve-pound guns. The problem lies in road accessibility - as long as there is a road, the guns and ammunition can be quickly maneuvered by relying on draft horses.

This time the rebellion in Zhejiang and Fujian was also defeated by the artillery of the Shenji Battalion. The final charge of the cavalry was just to clean up the mess.Who knows that although the six-pounder gun is not powerful enough in Bailang's opinion, its range and accuracy are actually the highest in East Asia today.From a distance of almost one kilometer, small artillery shells can be effectively fired into the ragtag array, and they will basically collapse after four or five rounds.

Bailang did not advance further into the two lakes in Jiangxi. Instead, he led his troops back to the capital after handling local government affairs. He received a lot of first-hand intelligence here in Zhejiang, that is, Japan's invasion of North Korea was imminent.He did kill many large merchants, but there were also many small and medium-sized merchants who came forward to support the government. Currently, there was no large pirate force at sea to unite against the government on land, so Bailang could still receive information.

"Has Hideyoshi Taira united Japan?" Bai Lang remembered that this monkey could only say that he was the biggest daimyo in the world, and that others surrendered - just like that, there were many more independent guys.Now this guy has gathered 10,000+ troops and is preparing to cross the sea to attack North Korea. Bai Lang also remembers that this guy also wants to conquer the entire Asia. Maybe he doesn't take him as the Ming Emperor seriously at all?

If you want to say that Hideyoshi Hideyoshi knew nothing about Bailang's achievements, it shouldn't be wrong. After all, there have been many businessmen and monks traveling between the mainland and Japan over the years. The news of Bailang's defeat of Mongolia and his cruel and unkind government should have been spread long ago. Only in Japan.However, this monkey came so confidently.
"Qi Shuai is in good health, let him be the chief soldier, let Yang Hao be the chief soldier, and let the Ministry of War discuss the other personnel with the cabinet." Bailang had already issued an imperial edict on his way back, and Qi Jiguang would be the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief, Commander-in-Chief Liaodong, and a total of [-] troops mobilized from the three major battalions entered North Korea, and Bailang was ready to let the Shenji Battalion go.As for him not going, if he goes to this war, it will actually be more humiliating.

The king of Korea is just regarded as the king of the county. It is enough for Qi Shuai to go to Ming Dynasty's dog.In the end, Yang Hao was appointed governor, and Wu Jinglue led his troops to prepare - Japan was only gathering troops and had not yet begun to cross the sea.

Later in the evening, Wanli Bailang returned to the capital. As usual, he did not go to the Forbidden City but to the Xiyuan Garden. The large garden was named Wanchun Garden and was about to be completed. Bailang waited for the palace inside to be "dry" before moving into it. .From then on, the emperor would spend most of his daily time in Wanchun Garden-Xiyuan. As for the Forbidden City, he would only go there when the imperial court was gathering.

The establishment of the City Bosi, Jiangguan Customs and Weaving Institute made everyone in the imperial court busy - there was a lot of oil and water in it, and everyone wanted to fish for it.Bailang was actually quite open about this. His psychological expectation was [-]%, so he had to work harder on the supervision of Yushitai.Bai Lang felt that his killing of [-]% of the officials in these departments every year was a victory for the supervisory department.
