Bury the Qing Dynasty

The complexions of Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs also became ugly.

When the Qing Dynasty was still there, the firearm technology of Tangkou in the Central Plains was inferior to that of Europa, not to mention the flintlock gun, even the matchlock gun technology.

The reason is because of the Qing Dynasty's consistent policy of ignoring the people, especially Brother Mazi's famous saying "Don't be learned by Mongolians and Hans" is even more poisonous.

And the reason why Daming's firearms and firearms technology was able to overtake when it was already lagging behind, in addition to the factor of Zhu Jinsong, who forced the emperor to directly open it, was more because Zhu Jinsong had been working hard to promote social studies and county studies. , leading Ming scholars to start paying attention to knowledge of physics and chemistry.

At the same time, Zhu Jinsong did not strictly block the technology of firearms, but allowed all scholars in Ming Dynasty to learn.

There are more and more scholars, and more and more scholars who understand guns and artillery. After a series of brainstorming with all kinds of messy ideas, the result is that Daming has successfully surpassed Europa in many aspects.

It's just that this kind of gameplay also has hidden dangers. For example, there are too many people who know how to make steel and iron and make guns and artillery. Now it is very difficult to keep the technology secret.

As for the taxes that Liu Huaiwen valued, they were gorgeously ignored by Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and others-not to mention the extra tax of more than 200 million yuan, even if it was an extra tax of [-] million yuan, it would definitely not be paid. Can't let these bastards continue to toss like this!

After careful consideration, Liu Heming simply bowed and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you just send people to recall those bastards back to the Ming Dynasty? Or make some rules for them?"

Zeng Cheng also bowed down and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think you can make more rules for them, but there is no need to recall them all."

Speaking of this, Zeng Cheng simply turned his attention to Liu Huaiwen: "Just now Liu Butang said that those bastards paid more than [-] million dragon yuan in taxes to the treasury, so I think those businessmen are probably doing it secretly. Wholesale muskets and ammunition would never have so much taxation."

"If all of them are directly recalled to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, there may be a shortage of muskets and ammunition in Europa and other places, and maybe those barbarians in Europa will be forced to take risks?"

Liu Huaiwen nodded, and replied: "Zeng Ge's old guess is right. Those bastards who privately manufacture muskets and ammunition don't sell them directly, but sell them through the agents of the English East India Company, the Dutch East India Company and the French."

"In addition, there are still some bastards who are secretly doing drug business, but they do it more secretly. Apart from Jin Yiwei who may have relevant information, maybe only the tax department knows their details."

Zeng Cheng's face darkened suddenly - apart from Jin Yiwei, only the tax department knew their details?In other words, you patronize the tax revenue of the treasury and don't care what those bastards are doing?
Seeing that Zeng Cheng's expression was a little off, Liu Huaiwen hurriedly added: "As far as I know, those bastards still have a bottom line, at least no one dares to sell drugs in our Daming territory."

Zeng Cheng sneered, but without looking at Liu Huaiwen, he directly bowed to Zhu Jinsong and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think those bastards who make firearms privately are better off, and those who privately engage in drug business But it is necessary to tidy up, lest these people become more and more courageous."

Zhu Jinsong nodded, and turned his gaze to Ke Zhiming: "Did you hear that? Turn around and beat those bastards. If they are honest and obedient, give them a chance to correct themselves. If they are disobedient, just deal with them directly."

It’s just that Ke Zhiming just bowed to answer, but a Jinyi guard hurriedly came outside the Wenhua Palace, signaling that there is new information to hand over to Ke Zhiming, and Ke Zhiming burst into laughter the first time he got the information: “Qi Zou Your Majesty, according to the latest information from Jin Yiwei, the mustache art student from Austria has reached an agreement with Alexander from Sand Goose, and the two parties agreed to divide up the old Polish cousin again."

After Ke Zhiming's words fell, Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs were stunned.

Not long ago, His Majesty, the old man, said that the art students of the mustache were likely to carve up Poland with the Sand Goose. As a result, the meeting was not over yet, and the mustache was ready to do it?

However, Zhu Jinsong asked with a smile: "Since the mustache art student wants to carve up Poland with Alexander, is there something wrong with the Habsburg family?"

Ke Zhiming laughed, and replied with admiration: "Your Majesty, you really can't hide anything from your Majesty—the art student with a mustache secretly purchased a large number of muskets, cannons and ammunition, and then sent them to France through Charles de Gaulle's relationship. Borrowed a group of soldiers and successfully reversed the Habsburg family."

"Up to now, the mustache art students have roughly unified Austria, the Habsburg family's sphere of influence has shrunk again and again, and Franz II has announced that he will no longer be the emperor of Austria."

After Zhu Jinsong hummed, he curled up his fingers and knocked on the table again and again.

Zhu Jinsong is not surprised at all to say that the mustache art student can reverse the Habsburg family. After all, the mustache art student studied in the Ming Military Academy. However, it is enough to overshadow the Habsburg family.

However, Zhu Jinsong did not believe that the mustache art student could replace the Habsburg family so easily, and the Habsburg family announced their abandonment of Austria so easily.

It's not that Zhu Jinsong looks down on the little bearded artist, but that the little bearded artist has only been promoting the theory of distribution according to needs in Austria for about a year. Compared with the family, there is still some lack of foundation.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinsong simply ordered Ke Zhiming: "Send people to intensify the infiltration of the Habsburg family. I don't think the Habsburgs will admit defeat so easily."

After Ke Zhiming bowed and responded, Zhu Jinsong simply turned his attention to Liu Heming again: "How many military bases does our Ming have in Europa?"

Liu Heming bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty has nine large military bases in Europa, namely Gibraltar Base, Corsica Base, Sicily Base, Bulgaria Base, Dublin Base, Amsterdam Base, Bases in Stockholm, Copenhagen and Latvia."

"According to the regulations of overseas garrisons, the number of soldiers in each base is maintained at 1, of which 5000 are for the army, 3000 for the navy, 300 for the hot air balloon unit, and the rest are logistics personnel."

"If necessary, the Copenhagen base and the Latvian base can intervene in the war between the mustache artist and the Habsburg family at any time, and can also intervene in the war between the sand goose, the mustache art student and the old Polish cousin at any time. In addition, the remaining military bases in West Kunlun can also mobilize some troops for support."

After Liu Heming's words fell, several other bigwigs in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion also became excited, and expressed that they would personally go to the front line of Europa to take command.

In the face of the turbulent leaders of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, not to mention Zeng Cheng and other cabinet ministers, even Liu Huaiwen didn't dare to jump out and say that the treasury has no money-the main reason is that the [-] yuan just came out with [-] yuan. Don't make trouble.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Zhu, who had always been keen to provoke wars and even thought of conquests by himself, did not agree to the request of the leaders of the five armies' governor's mansions. Not to participate in the affairs of Europa, but to ensure the safety of Ming people overseas."

After saying a bunch of nonsense that no dog would believe, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "Several officers were selected from the military bases in Europa to form two military observation groups, and they went to the Austrian moustache artist and Habs respectively. The Fort family—I always feel that this matter is not that simple, and maybe the Habsburg family is also playing a big game."

After Zhu Jinsong's voice fell, Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs suddenly felt a little confused.

Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and the others believed that the Habsburg family still had a backup player, but to say that the Habsburg family was playing a big chess game, and that even Daming would send a military observation team to observe, this is somewhat ridiculous The meaning of the egg.

Didn't you see that the Habsburg family sent troops to participate in the mess in Benghazi some time ago?
To put it bluntly, whether the Habsburg family has a backup player or what kind of chess they are playing now is not important to Daming, and there is no need to send a military observation team.

However, Zhu Jinsong went on to order: "In addition, transfer a group of officers to France to help Charles de Gaulle train the French new army. They are not required to be able to achieve the same combat effectiveness as the Ming army, but they must be somewhat stronger than they are now." Row."

Zeng Cheng couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Habsburg family is probably plotting against France?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said, "The Habsburgs probably don't have the guts to count against France now. Even if they had to count, they should count against Ottomans, Austria, and Poland."

"What I'm worried about now is that if Khamis from Benghazi just died madly on the front foot, will the Habsburg family jump out on the back foot and follow madly to death-although they dare not offend Daming, or even dare to offend France and England, but they are perfectly capable of messing up Europa."

"If the whole of Europa becomes chaotic..."

Not only Zhu Jinsong was very upset, Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs also felt very upset.

Once the whole of Europa is in chaos, it actually means that the whole of the little broken ball has to follow suit.

Although Daming has many overseas military bases and has made countless preparations before, who knows when the Habsburg family will make trouble?To what extent will things get messed up?
If there is a military observation team to observe, at any rate, they can get some information in advance, so as to prepare in advance, so as not to wait for Europa to become chaotic before passively responding.

Just like Khamis suddenly jumped out to die before, this kind of uncontrollable accidental factor is always very annoying.

But after Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs all bowed down, Zhu Jinsong slowly knocked on the table and said, "Did you notice that the air is getting worse in recent years?"

Zeng Cheng was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Emperor Zhu was thinking—he was still talking about the Habsburg family on the front foot, but he could say that the air in Daming was getting worse?
But no matter how confused he was, Zeng Cheng could only answer honestly: "Your Majesty, the air in our Ming Dynasty has indeed deteriorated a lot in recent years. The air is very sweet, but Weichen really can't smell any sweetness. On the contrary, every winter in the past few years, the air will be filled with the pungent smell of soot."

Song Yucheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said, "Master Zeng Ge didn't know something. Our Daming has built many workshops over the years, and the amount of coal used is relatively large. In addition, our Ministry of Industry has tried to build a factory in the outskirts of the capital. A power plant, so the amount of coal used is even greater."

Zhu Jinsong waved his hand and said, "It's one thing to use a lot of coal, but it's another thing to destroy forests and pastures."

Although Zhu Jinsong has been emphasizing that we can’t just destroy without governing, but today’s Ming Dynasty is at an important node in the process of the industrial revolution, and workshops are constantly being built everywhere, whether it’s coal consumption or land demand. All are increasing day by day, and the destruction of the forest is naturally inevitable.

In addition to the destruction of the forest by the workshops, the demand for pastures on the grasslands is also gradually increasing. More and more cattle, sheep, and horses are unknowingly destroying the ecological environment of the grasslands, and the grasslands are gradually becoming desertified.

Zhu Jinsong curled up his fingers and slowly tapped on the table: "I said before that we can't let the disaster of our generation be over and make future generations useless—on the contrary, our generation should work hard to protect the environment so that it can be destroyed. Children and grandchildren can have enough resources to use."

Song Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, although the ministers also know this truth, our Ming Dynasty now has an increasing demand for various workshops, and the land and coal we need Naturally, there are more and more resources, so it's... difficult to have both."

Liu Huaiwen is also very entangled - if there are more workshops, the tax received by the treasury will increase, and the budget that can be used for people's livelihood will naturally increase. If there are fewer workshops, the tax received by the treasury will naturally increase. If it is reduced, the budget in all aspects must be reduced.

Therefore, adding workshops will destroy the ecology, and protecting the ecology will reduce the income of the treasury.
