Daming Crazy Emperor

The difficulty of leveling the world in three to five years is really not ordinary.

Because the world Taichang mentioned is not the traditional hinterland of the Central Plains and its surrounding areas, but the whole world!

This world is really not that big.

Leaving Europe and Africa aside, the area in the northwest of Daming alone is horribly large.

Central Asia and Yili can only pay back the land, but Siberia will be a big deal. It is a territory larger than the Mughal Empire.

Moreover, it seems that the Siberian Khanate is the only force left in the north of Ming Dynasty. As long as they defeat the Siberia Khanate, the entire Siberia, including the original Nuergandus, will be included in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

How big is that area?
The original territory of Ming Dynasty was not even half the size of that area.

In other words, as long as the Siberian Khanate is won, Ming's territory can be expanded by more than twice in an instant.

Taichang specially ordered someone to bring a newest world map and spread it out on the conference table, making it more intuitive for everyone.

This land is really big, and the population in this area is not large.

If the population of this territory is as dense as that of the Ming Dynasty, let alone an army of 50, even if it is an army of 500 million, it is impossible to take it down.

The problem is, even if the population of this territory is not large, a year of horse racing and back and forth is not enough!
As for the construction of the railway, it is not a matter of a year or two.

Because the farther north, the colder it is, and the longer the ice is, the longer it goes north.

Compared with Siberia, Liaodong is considered to be in the south, but Liaodong has been frozen for nearly half a year.

In other words, Siberia cannot build roads for at least half of the year.

The snow and ice on the ground are several feet deep, how to build roads?

Taichang seemed to take this question for granted.

If the railway can't run through Siberia, let alone a year, I'm afraid it won't be able to win such a large area in three to five years.

How to do it?

Taichang stared at the map for a while, then suddenly pointed to a river beside the Ural Mountains: "Bianjiao, is this river wide?"

Cao Bianjiao said without hesitation: "The main channel of this river is very wide. It is no problem for the Emperor to sail in the downstream, and the Aegis ships can also pass in the midstream. Several strongholds of Tsarist Russia were built on the west bank of this river.

However, the ice age of this river seems to be longer.

When Weichen took over the Tsarist Russian stronghold, he asked people specifically, and they said that the river usually freezes at the end of October, and it will not thaw until May and June of the next year. "

This freezing time is indeed a bit long.

However, Aegis ships can pass through the lower and middle reaches of this river, and there must be no problem for armed merchant ships to drive in.

As for the upstream, there must be no problem for the flying dragon warship and the wolf tooth warship to go in.

If the naval fleet can drive over to cooperate, then the speed of advancement will be faster.

At this moment, the Flying Dragon Battleship is frighteningly fast. It only takes more than ten days to make a round trip for a distance of ten thousand miles, and this river seems to be less than ten thousand miles long.

In other words, if ships are used to transport infantry and cavalry, four or five months will be enough.

Moreover, there are not one but three large rivers in Siberia. It just so happens that these three large rivers are relatively evenly distributed, and the distance between them is roughly two to three thousand miles.

If the cavalry were allowed to start from both sides of the river, they would only need to sweep for more than a thousand miles to clean up the middle area.

And it doesn't take a month for the cavalry to sweep across more than a thousand miles.

This time, the problem is solved, no matter how large the territory is, it cannot withstand the simultaneous advancement of land and water!
Taichang stared at the map for a while, and then asked: "Zhisheng, you personally led 30 elites from the Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion to deal with Gushi Khan and put down Yili, is there any problem?"

This one.

If Yuandudu, who likes to brag, encounters this kind of problem, he will definitely nod without hesitation and say it's okay.

Sun Chengzong looked at the map, thought for a while, and then nodded solemnly: "No problem."

He is already very humble.

No matter how strong Gushi Khan was, it was impossible for him to be stronger than Jiannu. Moreover, he now has not only cavalry, but also muskets and artillery.

He said no problem, that is absolutely no problem.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Alright then, let's revise the plan, and I won't follow you all the way to the Western Regions.

You first cleaned up Gushi Khan, flattened Yili Bali, and then cooperated with Jiandou to take down the Golden Horde Khanate.

I led the fleet to cooperate with Bianjiao, took down the Siberian Khanate, connected the territory of Nuer Gandusi and the Siberian Khanate, and made the entire north our territory of Ming Dynasty. "

Sun Chengzong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang then asked again: "Meng Hou, how many dreadnoughts and Aegis ships can Dongfan shipyard build in a year now, and how many ships will it build in the second half of this year?"

Bi Maokang quickly introduced in detail: "After Dongfan Shipyard has been remodeled, it can build ten dreadnoughts and 120 Aegis ships a year. In the second half of this year, because the remodeling has just been completed, the output is a little lower, so only five dreadnoughts and aegis ships have been built. Fifty Aegis ships.

Now that these 55 warships have been built, it is waiting for the emperor to issue an order to see which fleet will be allocated to them. "

It should not be a problem for 55 dreadnoughts and Aegis ships to transfer 30 horses.

Taichang then asked again: "Children, how many war horses can the new Yangzhou government pull out now?"

Sun Chengzong said without hesitation: "It is no problem for the new Yangzhou government to pull out 100 million war horses now."

My God, it turns out that what Zu Dabi said at the beginning was true, that the New Yangzhou Prefecture really bred 100 million war horses!
At this moment, war horses don't have much effect on the European battlefield, but they still have a great effect on the northwest battlefield.

The horses are paired with chariots, and the chariots are paired with muskets and cannons, which can knock out the remnants of Meng Yuan.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Jiandou, how many armed merchant ships and Spike warships can the Nanyang Cheng Announcement and Dong Nan Cheng Announcement Political Envoys mobilize?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he thought about it carefully before he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, at this moment, there are no armed merchant ships on the local side of the Ming Dynasty, and the business of the Western Firms in the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, so the humble minister probably also Two thousand armed merchant ships can be mobilized.

There can be more Spike warships, the Jinling shipyard can produce three to four thousand ships a year, and Weichen can mobilize five thousand ships without any problem. "

Two thousand armed merchant ships are a bit small. One armed merchant ship can pull up to three hundred war horses, and two thousand ships can pull 60 war horses.

Moreover, this time they are mobilizing more than 100 million elites from the three major camps and millions of troops from the Southeast and Nanyang camps at the same time, so there are many things that need to be prepared. "

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Ziru, pass on my order and order Boya to immediately mobilize forty Aegis ships and two thousand armed merchant ships to Wubei City to wait for orders."

Cao Huachun, who had been guarding the door all the time, heard the words and quickly ordered someone to send a telegram.

It is so convenient to have a telegram at this moment, even if it is sent to America, it only takes half a day.

Taichang immediately asked again: "Meng Hou, how many such large infantry fighting vehicles have been built in total?"

Bi Maokang said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, because you said that we will devote all our efforts to the development of light infantry fighting vehicles, so the production of that kind of heavy infantry fighting vehicles stopped after a thousand."

Uh, well, although that kind of infantry fighting vehicle is powerful, it also has great limitations, and it can't get through many places.

The problem is that light infantry fighting vehicles still need to be improved, and I'm afraid they won't be available for a while.

Taichang thought for a while, then asked again: "Bianjiao, how many wooden chariots do you have?"

Cao Bianjiao said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I have all the wooden chariots under my command. There are a total of 50 wooden chariots for [-] horses."

Well, at this moment, wooden chariots are actually enough to deal with the remnants of the Meng Yuan. The infantry chariots are mainly used for siege, and the remnants of the Meng Yuan have no cities.

At least the Siberian Khanate did not have many cities, but Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were in charge of more cities.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "You order people to bring back all the thousand infantry fighting vehicles, and use them for Jiandou and Zhisheng."

Cao Bianjiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang then said to Bi Maokang: "Menghou, after the Chinese New Year, order the Chariot Factory to make every effort to build wooden chariots, and the Bianjiao side will have to make up for another [-] vehicles, and Jiandou and juvenile ropes will also have to be built. With [-] vehicles.

How long do you think these 1 wooden chariots will be built, more than [-] a month, is there any problem? "

It is not too easy to build wooden chariots now, let alone more than 1 vehicles, tens of thousands of vehicles will be fine.

Bi Maokang said carefully: "Your Majesty, in fact, many private carriage factories can also manufacture wooden chariot carriages, we only need to equip them with wheels, axles and bearings.

If the carriage factory in Beizhili is fully activated to build wooden chariots, at least [-] wooden chariots can be built a month. "

Yes, you can also ask the private carriage factory to help!
Taichang said without hesitation: "Okay, today you will order people to place orders for all the carriage factories in Beizhili, and let them make every effort to build wooden chariots after the Chinese New Year, [-] vehicles a month, let them build three chariots with all their strength first." Let’s take a look at the situation in the Northwest, and then decide whether to continue building.”

At this moment, the Ming court is not short of money, so the more useful things on the battlefield, the better.

Bi Maokang cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "I understand."

Taichang thought for a while, and then said to Sun Chengzong: "Children, you wait to order people to send a report back to New Yangzhou Prefecture and New Jingzhou Prefecture, and let them quickly select 30 elites. After the New Year, I will order the navy The fleet pulled 30 Nanyang battalion soldiers to replace them.

Just don't go back, I ordered people to decorate a palace in the imperial city, and you will stay here and spend a good year with me. "

Uh, well, spending the New Year with the emperor in the imperial city is such a great favor.

Sun Chengzong naturally did not dare to refuse Taichang's kindness.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Everyone discussed for a while, and before they knew it, it was noon.

At this time, the banquet in the palace was ready.

Taichang didn't continue to talk anymore, and directly led everyone to the side hall where they had dinner.

Everyone looked at the table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

If it was the Wanli Dynasty, they would not dare to imagine such a luxurious banquet.

To put it bluntly, it was not easy for the first emperor to make such a large table of delicacies from mountains and seas. Even if they managed to make it, they would definitely try their best to persuade the first emperor not to be so extravagant and wasteful.

Now, this table full of delicacies from mountains and seas is nothing to them at all, let alone the emperor, even they, it seems that there is no problem with such a big table at home.

At this moment, Daming has really become stronger, and prosperity is not enough to describe it.

Everyone is really happy in their hearts, and since the New Year's Eve is here, everyone has nothing to do, so they don't have any scruples about drinking.

Not long after, even the mature and prudent Xu Guangqi became a little numb.

He suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, after the new year is over, you will be able to take the test. I really don't know what to do with the test questions. Your Majesty, I won't bother you to come up with one."

Uh, another question?
When Taichang heard the words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The examination questions of this imperial examination are really brain-intensive. What kind of questions should I come up with this year?
