Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 273

Of the five people here, which one is not a thousand-year-old fox? Why are you playing Liaozhai, Emperor Zhu?
Hua Shengdun, in particular, was even more dissatisfied with Zhu Jinsong's statement——Da Ming didn't want the enclave on Europa, but how could the Silly Javelin want it?

After thinking about it, Hua Shengdun still persuaded him: "I think, after all, this is also the intention of Louis XVI and George III, isn't it?"

Zhu Jinsong smiled and waved his hands, and said: "I really didn't intend to take your territory in Europa. Besides, the attack on the Habsburg family was also for the stability and peace of Europa, as well as for the future development. How much land do they have?"

Zhu Jinsong's heart was bleeding when he said these words.

To say that Zhu Jinsong has changed his nature and looks down on the land of Europa is pure bullshit.

But no matter how much they valued the land there, Louis XVI and George III were willing to give up the territory of the Habsburg family, and Da Ming couldn't swallow it now.

Of course, it would not be impossible to assign a noble or the like to take over land such as Luxembourg or Austria. The question is what happens after taking over the land?

The territories occupied by the Ming Dynasty have not yet been digested. The whole of the Ming Dynasty is in a state where the land is vast and the population is extremely sparse. What can they do to swallow the territory of Europa?
Relying on the original local people, it is easy to give birth to the next Jiaozhi.

This is also a headache for the emperors of the central plains in all dynasties.

During the founding of the state, the central plains were all able to fight, the army was strong, and it was easy to expand the territory. However, the war before the founding of the state had consumed a large number of young and strong central plains, and there was not enough population to occupy the new ones. territory.

When the population increased again, the national power of the Central Plains Tangkou began to decline again, and it was already very difficult to maintain the original rule and situation, so naturally there was no spare power to expand the territory.

Thanks to the prodigal family of the Qing Dynasty who stretched the hips and was rich and deaf, this time the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty did not consume many people in the Central Plains, so Zhu Jinsong was free to occupy Jiaozhi and Burma at the beginning. , You can freely move people to Liaodong, Nurgandusi and other places.

However, as a large number of people moved out, the number of [-] million people gradually became insufficient——Lanfang, Old Port, East Siberia, Duogansi, Wusizang, etc., when all these places are filled Almost, it is estimated that the number of local people in the Ming Dynasty should drop to about [-] million.

If you include Ottoman and Tianzhu, there is still a shortfall of at least [-] to [-] million people in Ming Dynasty, and if you want to wait for the population of Ming people to increase, it will not take ten or eight years. Impossible.

After all, it is not leeks.

Besides, Daming itself has a lot of problems. It feels a bit stretched to maintain such a large territory at present, and there is no extra energy to expand to Europa.

Just giving up like this, Zhu Jinsong felt somewhat unwilling.

At the very least, he had to take the opportunity to dig a hole for the savages in Europa.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jinsong said, "Come on, anyway, there are only five of us now, so I'll just open the window and tell the truth—it's useless for any of us to take possession of those sites of the Habsburg family."

"On the contrary, after experiencing the devastation of artillery fire, the territory of the Habsburg family will inevitably become a ruin. If it is in the hands of one of us, don't we all have to spend a lot of effort to rebuild it?"

"Especially the people there, there must be more or less millions of them? Each person consumes a catty of grain every day, which is several million catties of grain. Even if their local grain can solve part of it, even if they only need Who can supply hundreds of thousands of catties of grain?"

Louis XVI and George III shook their heads immediately.

Supplying hundreds of thousands of catties of grain every day, who the hell can resist such a thing?
Daming may have so much grain, but Daming's grain is not created out of thin air. Without money, why does Daming support so much grain?
Louis XVI frowned and said, "If you calculate it this way, wouldn't the Habsburg family become a problem?"

George III also said: "It's more than a trouble, it's a big trouble—or else, let's let the Habsburg family go and let them cede land and pay compensation?"

Louis XVI glanced at Zhu Jinsong quietly, and said, "How can that be done? Don't forget what we said before the fight started. If we let them cede the land and pay compensation, it's over, so how can we get rid of the reputation of being a bad pot?" ?”

Speaking of this, Louis XVI looked at Zhu Jinsong again and said: "My idea now is to completely kill the Habsburg family, let the Holy Roman Empire or Austria be completely finished, and then build a new Holy Roman Empire ,How about it?"

Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "This idea is not bad, but I have a better idea here."

Louis XVI immediately regained his spirits and asked, "What's your idea?"

Zhu Jinsong said: "It is certain that the Habsburg family will be wiped out completely, but things like land cession and compensation are hard to say, especially since we are still the five benevolent people, so we can fight with the new Holy Roman Empire." Sign a treaty of friendship, say..."

After talking about the "Seven Points of Tomorrow's Friendship", Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "Look, we solved the evil Habsburg family, rescued the Austrian people who were in deep trouble, and also helped the new holy family. How does the development of the Roman Empire fit our status as the five great benevolent people?"

"Of course, in order to ensure that the new Holy Roman Empire will not go astray, I think it is necessary for us to station some troops in the new Holy Roman Empire to maintain local law and order."

"I propose to set up a small Poguo peacekeeping force, each of our five benevolent people will send a troop, and Xiao Poguo will bear all the expenses of this troop."

"In order to show my sincerity, on behalf of Daming, I sent a whole infantry battalion."

Louis XVI nodded and said, "I agree. We, France, are also willing to send an entire infantry battalion."

George III followed suit: "The same is true for us in England."

After Paul I and Hua Shengdun both made their respective statements, Zhu Jinsong nodded in satisfaction, and then turned the topic back to Xiao Poguo: "I have a proposal, I plan to wait until next year in Xiaopoguo It was mentioned in it that it is forbidden to develop any mass killers in the future.”

"For example, artillery and muskets are weapons used to defend one's own country. Of course, any country can develop them. Daming is even willing to help other countries develop them."

"However, for weapons like landmines, I think it's better not to develop them at will. After all, the cost of this thing is too low, and it can cause a lot of combat and non-combat loss of personnel. It is an extremely excessive weapon."

Watson twisted his body uneasily, and said, "This...should be defensive, right? If other countries are prohibited from researching and developing, isn't it a bit too..."

Zhu Jinsong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Hua Shengdun and said, "This kind of weapon is not humane."

George III glanced at Zhu Jinsong, then at Watson Dun, and said, "I can agree to this request, but France must first sign and abide by it. You know that the festival between us in England and France, If France doesn't sign, neither can we in England."

However, what George III did not expect was that Louis XVI nodded happily and agreed: "No problem, we France can sign first, and we will give up the research and development and production of landmine weapons in the future."

George III looked at Louis XVI in a daze, and asked, "Have you really given up on this thing? You French won't develop it anymore?"

Louis XVI hummed and said, "Of course, this shit is not as lethal as artillery and muskets. It is basically useless except for defense. Of course we can give it up."

"Furthermore, on the whole little broken ball, who can threaten the status of our five benevolent people? Does it make any difference if there is such a thing? Or to take a step back, even if we need this thing, isn't there still Daming? Can't you just ask Daming to buy it?"

The expression on Zhu Jinsong's face also eased a little, and then he said with a smile: "I really can't bear to see soldiers disabled by landmines again, that's why I came up with such a proposal."

"Besides, as Hua Shengdun said just now, this kind of weapon is defensive after all. I already have it, and it is probably enough for the big guys to use. If it is not enough, Daming can also provide it for the big guys."

"You don't have to wonder if I'm lying to you—to tell you the truth, Da Ming is currently planning to restructure the existing army, transforming the original large corps model into a new joint combat model, and has also prepared a large-scale Prepare to abandon landmines."

Louis XVI immediately asked: "How to change the law? Can we let France learn from it?"

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Of course I can, if not, why would I tell you these things?"

"The first is to streamline the establishment of the army. Daming now has a total of 120 million troops, and I plan to streamline them to 80."

"Secondly, the original combat units should also be streamlined from the division level, and the firepower configuration at the battalion level will also be strengthened. In this way, the number of the army will be reduced, and the military expenditure will be reduced accordingly. However, the combat effectiveness and ferocity of the army are not only It will not drop, but will increase substantially.”

After Zhu Jinsong explained the general gameplay, George III, Paul I, and Watson Dun all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, while Louis XVI looked at Zhu Jinsong with a little bit of a look in his eyes. very nervous.

What do you mean?Someone from my road just planned to sell the whole of Europa to you, how many ways have you taught them how to improve the combat effectiveness of the army?
Damn it, can't you teach me the way alone!
Zhu Jinsong quietly winked at Louis XVI, and continued: "Although the combat effectiveness of the army will increase, I don't recommend that you learn this method, because it will cost a lot of money during the war." of."

"Actually, Daming is only planning to select one or two military-level units to conduct experiments first. He intends to see the effect on the Ottoman battlefield first, and then decide whether to promote it to the entire army."

In fact, it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Jinsong to implement this kind of gameplay. It is only possible to select an army under each governor's mansion for this kind of reorganization.

There are indeed many benefits of this kind of rectification, just like Zhu Jinsong told George III and others that the number of troops can be reduced, military expenditure can be reduced, combat effectiveness can be improved, and the level of ferocity of firepower can be increased.

But Zhu Jinsong didn't tell them one thing, that is, this streamlined system is not suitable for large-scale wars, especially the Ming Dynasty's war against the Ottomans, which is not actually the method used.

How many troops did Ming dispatch in this war against the Ottomans?
No more, no less, three armies, about 15 troops, of which only one division is used to take the lead after being streamlined, because this streamlined system is suitable for breakthrough battles, relying on firepower superiority for quick assaults , The large-scale annihilation battle is simply unstoppable.

More importantly, this kind of gameplay is suitable for Ming to play but not for them - streamlining the establishment and strengthening the firepower means that the consumption of shells, bullets, and even the artillery and firearms themselves will increase. It is necessary to fire dozens of shells more than before the original streamlining.

Daming can experiment with this kind of gameplay, but let Europa play it, basically whoever plays it will go bankrupt.

What's even more deceitful is that in the short term, this kind of gameplay can't see the disadvantages at all, but it will only make people see the side with stronger combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, Zhu Jinsong would not have told them this way of playing.

Just at this time, Louis XVI asked in a timely manner: "On the Ottoman battlefield? Could it be that the Ming army that is now attacking Ottoman has completed the reorganization you mentioned?"

Zhu Jinsong nodded, and said, "That's right, otherwise, I wouldn't have told you these things today."

Zhu Jinsong said that Hua Shengdun and Paul I had nothing to do, but George III became excited: "In this way, the army in Tianzhu before..."

Zhu Jinsong nodded and said: "That's right, that army is experimental in nature, they were going to exchange fire with the Ottoman army at the first time, but they never thought that there would be a misunderstanding with your English army in Tianzhu. "

Compared with the opportunity to make all the troops in England stronger, George III can't care about Tianzhu's affairs at this time.

George III coughed and said, "Well, can you give me a copy of this simplified adaptation plan? I plan to let the English army learn from it. After all, we are the five benevolent people. England has become stronger. For the little ones It’s a good thing to break the pot, isn’t it?”

But before Zhu Jinsong nodded his head, Ke Zhiming knocked on the door outside.
