Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 396 Betting on England's National Luck
According to the calculations of Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs, the majority of the Holy Emperor's 20-year budget approval will still fall on the dredging of rivers, electricity, railways and roads, and the poverty department.

Zhu Jinsong also felt that there was nothing wrong with the proposals of Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs. After all, there was a lot of money in the treasury, but there were so many things to spend money on, so it was necessary to prioritize.

Can river dredging be slowed down?

No.

River dredging is not just for some silted rivers, it also includes the construction of reservoirs, the construction of irrigation ditches, the construction and maintenance of dams and other projects.

It can be said that the dredging of the river is directly related to whether the flood can be eliminated and whether the land can be irrigated.

This also means that the dredging of the river is directly related to the food security of Ming Dynasty and even the personal safety of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, no one in Qian Deaf and Old Dog's family cared about this, but who could not care about this in the serious court of the Central Plains?

Needless to say, electricity, railways, and highways are of course not much to say. Power lines are directly related to whether trains can run at night and whether telegraphs can be unblocked. Railways and highways are equivalent to the main arteries of the economy, and they are also the main arteries of homeland security. It is also impossible to save .

The same is true for the Poor Ministry. The sociology and county studies in various places are directly related to the next generation of Daming, and even the next generation, and the next generation. It is related to whether Daming can continue to lead the whole small ball. Consensus, no one dares to save money in this regard.

On the contrary, it is the Royal Academy and the Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies... Although the current Xiao Poqiu seems to be changing, no matter how the situation changes, it still only covers the area of ​​Europa, and the impact on Daming is only In terms of maritime trade, it can be said that it has no impact on Daming's homeland security.

The current standing army of Ming Dynasty and many overseas military bases alone are enough to prevent the flames of war from outside the gate of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, there is really no need to approve more budgets for the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Of course, if more budgets are not approved, it does not mean that the military expenditure of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion will be reduced. After all, Europa is already in chaos, and the film may be fully launched at any time.

Thinking of Europa, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but feel a little troubled, but besides worrying, there was also a faint sense of anticipation.

The trouble is because George III suddenly went crazy, and for no reason, he is going to start a movie with France-the full movie of England and France will definitely affect the weight of Xiao Poguo's speech in the Europa region, and it will also affect Daming. maritime trade.

Among other things, let’s just talk about the British East India Company in Tianzhu and the Dutch East India Company. On the surface, the Netherlands is wearing the same trousers as England, but the reason why the Netherlands was able to restore the country is still because of France.

In this case, what would William I of the Netherlands choose?

If William I could make it clear and choose to mix with France, then the Dutch East India Company in Tianzhu would have to cooperate with the British East India Company, which would affect the labor recruitment business of Daming.

If William I also suffered from brain disease like George III... the British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company will not open a film, but will these two join forces to deal with French merchant ships?
You must know that many goods in Ming Dynasty were shipped to Europe through French merchants. Once the British and Dutch East India Companies clashed with French merchants, it would eventually affect Ming's maritime trade.

So it's annoying.

As for the hope that Zhu Jinsong had in his heart, it was because the Austrian art student and French classmate Xiao Dai all chose to return to Europa—the Austrian art student Adolf.

Both of them have learned a lot of plausible theories from Jiang Xinlong, and relying on the theories they have learned, they have formed their own small groups in the International Students College of Daming Royal Academy.

What Adolf learned was the theory of allocation according to needs, and he also learned the importance of factory guards by the way.

Xiao Dai learned the theory of free competition, and he also realized the importance of factory guards.

Zhu Jinsong is looking forward to what kind of sparks these two sets of almost opposite theories can collide with Europa, and what kind of impact it will bring to Europa.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong simply ordered Ke Zhiming again: "Intensify the penetration of Europa."

……

Just when Zhu Jinsong was looking forward to what kind of sparks Adolf and Xiao Dai could collide, the armies of England and France had already begun to collide, and sparks of war were sparked—most of the officers of the English army were in Ming Dynasty The training experience is the same with the French army.

In other words, English officers are familiar with the tactics of French officers, and French officers are also familiar with the tactics of English officers.

As a result of being familiar with each other, it is doomed that it will be difficult for the two sides to tell the difference in tactics, and may not even be able to tell the winner in terms of strategy.

However, no one expected that the doctor who was brought to England by George III to diagnose and treat his insanity, after sleeping with Queen Charlotte of England, had a brain hole and came up with an unprecedented, In the end, it is unlikely that there will be tricks from comers.

The doctor actually sent someone to Tianzhu, and then found one of the Japanese slaves in Tianzhu who looked relatively normal. He had studied in the Daming Military Academy and was praised by the Japanese slaves as the Japanese slave of the Kanto War God. Tojo 28 ——

The so-called Kanto War means that Tojo 28 led people to fight a few battles in the Kanto area of ​​the Wa Kingdom, and because they always won the battles, they were regarded as the God of War in the Kanto Region by the dwarfs of the Wa Kingdom.

As for the actual level of military command, Totiao 28 is not on a par with those graduates from the Ming military academies in France and England. This guy may not even be as good as some of the presidents of the peasant associations in the Ming Dynasty.

The problem is that no one knows the true level of Tojo 28, because after leaving Wa, Tojo 28 fought against the three buddies of Tianzhu under the command of Tojo Kojiro.

As we all know, the three brothers like peace very much. Most of the time, they like to engage in non-violent non-cooperation games, and hate using knives and guns on the battlefield.

More often, the three buddies fight with their mouths.

Under this premise, Tojo 28 can easily achieve a great record. The name of the God of War in the Kanto region was called in the Tianzhu area, and even spread to England through the British East India Company.

Then, the doctor was moved.

From the doctor's point of view, do the barbarians of Europa understand what a war is?Rather than relying on these barbarians from Europa to command the war, it would be more reliable to find a dwarf from the Wa country.

After all, no matter how hot the Wa country is, it is still a little hot chicken next to Daming, and those who can hang out with the Tangkou of the Central Plains must be better than these savages in Europa.

Under normal circumstances, those dwarfs from the Wa country would never go to Europa to get involved in Europa's mess, but this doctor who ran from Daming to England did things under the banner of Daming—— I am a famous doctor of the Ming Dynasty, and I borrow your short stature, this is for your face, you have to wear it!

Then, those dwarfs in Wa felt that they couldn't offend Da Ming's father, and because the doctor was in England, these dwarfs mistakenly thought that Da Ming's father also planned to help England.

Therefore, these dwarfs really chose to hide their face from the doctor, and honestly sent the Japanese Kanto God of War Tojo 28 to England.

After Tojo 28 arrived in England, he was immediately sent by Queen Charlotte to command the vanguard of the English Army—Queen Charlotte didn’t say that she obeyed the doctor’s orders, but that she was completely sleepy, and she wouldn’t do it at all. Oppose the request made by the doctor.

And Tojo 28 did not live up to the doctor's expectations. Just after taking over the vanguard of England, he led the English army to defeat Calais.

Of course, it is not appropriate to directly use "lay down" to describe the record of Tojo 28, because according to the plans of Louis XVI, Pierre, Napoleon and other French bigwigs, Calais, Le Havre, Gangcheng, Bouquet Areas such as Leicester are "reserved" for England.

Acknowledge?
Of course it’s not about admitting cowardice, but that Louis XVI, Napoleon and others discussed in advance, in order to allow the English army to occupy more territory, thereby lengthening the supply line of the English army, and then pick a suitable time, completely Cut off the supply lines and retreat of the English army.

In order to implement this plan, the French army not only had to "retreat" fifty kilometers immediately after a little resistance in accordance with Louis XVI's order, but even took the initiative to retreat another hundred kilometers when necessary, allowing England's The army occupies a large amount of land in France.

Louis XVI even deliberately showed a bewildered gesture in the newspaper.

Therefore, even without Tojo 28, the English army could still easily capture Calais, and even "capture" some of the supplies deliberately left by the French army in Calais.

However, England did not know the plans of Louis XVI and Napoleon, and the French army played a full set, and it was not that there was no resistance at all, but it was weaker in the direction of Calais.

And because the French army was weaker in the direction of Calais, Tojo 28's record was even more outstanding.

The battlefield is a very realistic place. Those who are capable can always be promoted quickly, and those who are not capable will die quickly.

Tojo 28, with its outstanding record, soon won the trust of Queen Charlotte and Prince George Jr. of Wales, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army part of the English army.

So here comes the question: what are the dwarfs of the Japanese country best at?
As we all know, the dwarfs of the Japanese country are very good at doing things, they are very good at doing the tricks, and they are very good at doing some inhumane beasts.

However, these are not what the dwarves are best at.

Maybe it's because they were born in the place where the farts are bigger in the country of Japan, and the psychology of the short people in the country of Japan is somewhat abnormal, and they are particularly impulsive.

In addition, there are frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and other disasters in the Japanese country, so those short people in the Japanese country can easily have a mentality of not knowing which will come first, tomorrow or accidents.

Therefore, what the dwarves are best at is actually gambling, especially betting on national luck.

The Battle of Baijiangkou during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was a gamble on the fate of the country, and the Battle of Bangzi during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was also a gamble on the fate of the country.

The subsequent Sino-Japanese War was still betting on the fate of the country.

For example, the Sino-Japanese War.

The situation at that time was that the Dongxue Party uprising broke out in Bangzi's family, and the Qing Dynasty was the suzerain of Bangzi at that time, so troops were sent to North Korea to suppress the uprising.

The problem is that the dwarfs of the Wa country also want to send troops to help North Korea quell the civil strife.

At this time, it is still in the diplomatic game stage.

The country of Wa has no confidence in this matter, because first of all, the country of Wa is definitely unreasonable, and secondly, the country of Wa did not dare to beat the Qing Dynasty.

Obviously, the Qing Dynasty at that time thought the same way: Lao Tzu is a dignified Qing Dynasty, so what can a little brat do in the country of Niwa?I will directly increase the number of troops, to see if you are afraid!
However, under the instigation of public opinion in Japan, the people in Japan became furious, and many people became irrational: How many eggs have you cleared?The Vataxi mud rainbow is not made of mud either!
Therefore, the Qing Dynasty sent troops, and the Japanese country also sent troops;
No money?

The emperor took the lead in saving food and clothing, and the people immediately sold their iron.

At that time, the thinker Fukuzawa Yukichi of the Meiji Restoration not only wrote articles to arouse the hearts of the people, but also sold his family property and directly donated [-] yen. At that time, one cent of yen could eat a beef hot pot, and [-] yen was definitely a lot of money.

And there are thousands of Fukuzawa Yukichi in Japan, and thousands of Fukuzawa Yukichi donated 200 million yen.

The sages and gentry of the country of Japan are strong, and the court of the country of the country of course cannot be persuaded - the country of Japan directly issued a war bond of 1894 million yen, and the common people enthusiastically bought it. In 1.5, the National Assembly of the country of Japan also issued a temporary military expenditure of [-] million yen Budget.

At that time, the attitude of the whole country of Wa was: fight, if you win, you will ask Daqing for money, and then have fun together.Can't win?Don't say you can't win, even if you draw, the country of Wa will be completely finished.

An American newspaper at that time said: Even if the Chinese let the Japanese fight, if they let him kill 1000 people a day, they will kill them for 1500 years.

However, the country of Wa won the bet in this war of betting on the fate of the country-even if it was on the fate of the country, the dwarfs of the country of Wa did not expect that the Qing Dynasty would be so hip.

Since then, the dwarfs of the Wa Kingdom have preferred to block the country's fortunes.

The subsequent Japanese Goose War was a bet on the fate of the country, the full-scale invasion of the Central Plains was still a bet on the fate of the country, getting together with the mustache art student was a bet on the fate of the country, and the attack on Pearl Harbor was even more a bet on the fate of the country.

Although they failed to win the bets on the national fortune several times later, the history of these bets on the national fortune is enough to show how serious the gambling nature of the dwarfs in the Japanese country is.

Now, Tojo 28 intends to bet on England's national fortune.
