Bury the Qing Dynasty

But, Emperor Zhu was not particularly satisfied with the plan proposed by Liu Heming.

There's no other reason, it's simply because the work of fighting the war has been done by the dwarfs of the Wa Kingdom, so what else would the Ming army do?Daming's army doesn't go to the front to fight. Do you want the emperor to command a group of dwarfs to fight?
Just when Emperor Zhu was thinking about how to go out to make waves, Liu Heming went on to say: "Just to flatten the whole small broken ball, the number of our Ming's existing army is somewhat insufficient. I think that we should recruit more troops." A million troops."

It is obvious that the existing army of Ming Dynasty is insufficient, because neither Emperor Zhu nor the court of Ming Dynasty can spend all tax revenue on military expenditure.

On the contrary, Emperor Zhu and the Ming court have always spent most of their taxes on infrastructure construction, social studies, and literacy, and the actual military expenditures allocated to the five armies' capitals are even less than one-tenth of Da Ming's tax revenue next year. .

The military budget allocated to the Five Armies Commander's Mansion is not enough, which naturally means that the number of Daming's troops will not be large. It is no problem to ensure the safety of Daming, but it is not enough to fight the whole small broken ball. used.

Emperor Zhu hummed, and was about to say something when Liu Huaiwen, Minister of the Household Department in charge of the Ming treasury, shouted first: "30 billion! The Household Department only has the 30 billion yuan of military expenses that can be allocated, and there is no more money! "

Just after finishing speaking, Liu Huaiwen felt that something was wrong, and Liu Heming's face darkened as fast as the naked eye could.

30 billion dragon yuan, converted into silver is [-] million taels.

Assuming that a soldier’s monthly military salary is 100 dragon yuan, the monthly military salary of 12 million soldiers is [-] million dragon yuan, and a year is [-] billion dragon yuan.

This is only the calculation of military pay, and does not calculate other costs that the army needs to pay.

For example, ordnance, the standard ordnance of Ming soldiers includes a percussion gun and a bayonet. In terms of supplies, it includes a kettle, two sets of military uniforms in spring and autumn, two pairs of military boots in spring, summer, autumn and winter, a battlefield first aid kit, and other items such as bedding, There are a lot of towels, washbasins, ammunition needed for training, and so on.

Adding up all these messes, each soldier would have to spend an additional [-] dragon yuan or even more. If it was replaced by the Imperial Guards and Sauron Camp stationed in the capital, the ammunition cost would be even higher. Turn up and roll.

If you add the cost of food...

In other words, 30 billion dragon yuan can indeed be used to recruit millions of troops, but it is only enough to recruit millions of troops and complete training, but if you want these million troops to flatten the entire small broken ball, that pure It's bullshit.

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs suddenly came to their senses, and Emperor Zhu looked at Liu Huaiwen and asked: "Uncle Huaiwen's 30 billion dragon yuan can be allocated this month? Or can it be allocated this year? Or could it be said that this time, Xiao Poqiu will only be able to allocate a total of 30 billion dragon dollars for the full release?"

Liu Huaiwen said: "The 30 billion dragon yuan can be allocated to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion tomorrow, but this year can only allocate so much. If the full-scale opening of the small broken ball ends this year, then the 30 billion yuan will be used for the entire war. Prepared, if we still fight next year..."

Speaking of this, the expression on Liu Huaiwen's face could not help but become a little ugly: "Next year, we can allocate another 30 billion. If we squeeze it from the budgets of other ministries, we can probably squeeze out another 20 billion."

"That is to say, an additional military expenditure of up to 50 billion yuan can be allocated next year, but the construction of railways and various other infrastructures will have to be delayed a little bit, and the construction period will be delayed by at least one month."

Emperor Zhu hummed, then turned his head to look at Liu Heming and asked, "According to your calculations, how long will it take for this small broken ball war to end?"

Liu Heming thought for a while before bowing and worshiping: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think it will take no more than two years for this small broken ball to be fully launched. Firstly, other countries cannot delay it. Secondly, There aren't that many mouthfuls to consume."

Emperor Zhu nodded again, and after humming, he began to knock on the table slowly, thinking constantly in his mind.

Although Alexander and Paul III discussed calling other countries on Xiaopoqiu to attack Ming together, don’t forget that there are still many countries on Xiaopoqiu that are tied to Ming Dynasty like France. , These countries are the help of Ming Dynasty. If Alexander, Mahmoud II, and Franz II choose to attack Ming Dynasty from land, they will have to face attacks from France and other pro-Ming countries.

Attacking from the sea will not work either.

Daming not only has a large number of overseas military bases, but also major sea routes such as Old Port, Lanfang, and Tianzhu are also controlled by Ming. In addition, Ming’s warships are about half a generation ahead of England. Once a naval battle occurs, the English navy under George III Only passive beatings.

This time, the small broken ball is in full swing, and Daming is basically invincible, and he can slowly consume with Alexander and Paul III.

On the other hand, England, Sand Goose, Ottoman and other countries that wanted to attack Ming did not dare to spend so much time.

First of all, Daming has been lying on the small broken ball and sucking blood from other countries for these years. The economic situation of those small countries has long been ruined, and it is already overestimating them to be able to support them for a year or two.

The second reason is the second reason mentioned by Liu Heming.

There are not so many dingkou to consume!
This is the most unsolvable problem. Except for Daming, no country in the entire small broken ball can face this problem directly—although it is said that wars are fought on the economy, the problem is that no matter how good the economy is, there must be Can talent do it?
Daming now has a population of more than 5 million. Even if more than 3 million are women, only 2000% of the remaining [-] million men are young and of the right age, and only half of the [-]% can go to the battlefield. [-] million young and strong can fight.

And what about other countries?It is hard to say whether the population of their entire country is 2000 million or not.

Even if Daming's army is completely abolished, the barbarians in Europa's technology tree is directly on the same level as Daming, and the battlefield exchange ratio is as high as one to one. Alexander and George III can't afford it-the number of casualties is so large When the foundation is shaken, their own country can be in chaos first!

Therefore, for the monarchs of European countries such as Alexander and George III, it is best for this small-scale war to end within two years or even one year.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu couldn't help shaking his head with a smile, and turned his attention to Song Yucheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Song Qing, if we want to repair the railway in Daming to a similar level, how much labor will we need?"

But what Emperor Zhu didn't expect was that Song Yucheng not only failed to give a clear answer, but even secretly slandered him - repair it almost?What do you mean almost, Your Majesty?Can the construction of the Eighteen Provinces Railway in Handi require the same amount of labor as the construction of the entire Daming Railway?Can the repair of single-track railways and double-track railways require the same amount of labor?
Besides, even if our Ming army is invincible, we can capture a lot of laborers from any country, but after the laborers are captured, you are not allowed to support them?Doesn't it cost money to keep them?Even if you save money, it's impossible for these laborers to pile up on one construction site at the same time, right?
Also, our Daming territory is increasing every year, Your Majesty!Every time there is an additional site, the Ministry of Industry needs to plan an additional site for the railway, and the number of labor required will also increase at the same time...

After secretly slandering, Song Yucheng still bowed and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, if we build a double-track railway in the entire existing territory of Daming, the labor required may be worth hundreds of millions, and the construction period required will also be 30 years. start."

After Song Yucheng said this, Emperor Zhu, who just wanted to say "I will capture enough labor for you this time", suddenly felt a little helpless.

Now all the mouths on the whole small broken ball are only a billion or so. How about Song Yucheng, who opens his mouth to be a hundred million laborers?

My mother, do you think I look like a laborer?

After he couldn't help cursing a few words in his heart, Emperor Zhu simply bent his fingers and knocked on the table, saying, "Then end this farce within a year."

Liu Heming was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, if it's going to end within a year, wouldn't it be possible to let the troops of England and Sand Goose come over?"

This is also obvious.

The area of ​​the small broken ball is not big, but it is not small. Although Da Ming is directly bordered by Sand Goose and Ottoman, but it is necessary to go overland to open the film. I am afraid that the army will have to travel for a year or a half. Yes, wait until the location to open the film, and then stabilize the location after the film is finished. I'm afraid it will take another few months?

More importantly, there may be many countries to attack Ming, and it is not very realistic for Ming to divide its troops to attack so many countries, at least one year is far from enough.

Therefore, the best solution is to let Alexander and George III entangle other countries on the small broken ball, let them attack Daming from the sea together, and then defeat it from the sea in one fell swoop.

Only in this way can Ming Dynasty end this war within a year.

However, what Liu Heming didn't expect was that Emperor Zhu actually let out a long sigh, and said with regret: "After Alexander and George III entangled with Xiao Poqiu to go to other countries, our Ming Dynasty's overseas military bases will be dispatched directly. .”

"Those who are closer to Sand Goose will directly attack Sand Goose, and those who are closer to England will directly attack England.

"In this way, the war will not need to be fought in a year at all."

Liu Heming was suddenly a little confused.

According to Emperor Zhu's way of playing, this war will indeed be resolved in less than a year.

As the saying goes, a snake can’t do without a head—Ming’s overseas military bases are mainly distributed in the Europa area. It’s quite convenient to kill England, Sand Goose, Ottoman and Habsburg with these sticks. The monkey is an example to the chicken, and all the other countries on the little broken ball can only kneel down and shout long live.

The problem is that this doesn't go with the original plan.

Just now, he was full of enthusiasm and planned to use Daming's own strength to force the entire small broken ball, and even planned to flatten the entire small broken ball, why did he suddenly change his mind now, what kind of trick is he going to play to capture the thief first?
Seeing Liu Heming's bewildered expression, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but sigh again, and said bitterly: "Da Ming still needs labor!"

"I believe that Ming's army has the strength to flatten the entire small broken ball, and I also believe that Ming can consume all other countries to death. The problem is that I can't just flatly push the entire small broken ball right now."

"So, I can only use England and Sand Goose to make an example to others."

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhu's voice even became a little resentful: "Those barbarians in the army are all young and strong, and they are good candidates for labor. Isn't the railway delayed..."

Liu Heming was very sad.

Today is another day of losing a lot of generals and lords...

I don't care whether to kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey or to kill the monkey to make an example to the chicken.

However, when Liu Heming was secretly sad, Emperor Zhu knocked on the table again, and said: "After the monkeys are killed and the chickens are frightened and honest, you, the governor of the five armies, will call them one by one and let them bleed."

After Emperor Zhu said this, Liu Heming couldn't help but bowed again and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Emperor Zhu snorted coldly and said, "As I said just now, our Daming still needs labor."

"I really can't just kill monkeys and chickens at the same time, because the more we kill, the more labor our Daming will lose."

"However, I don't intend to let them go. If you can't kill them together, then kill them slowly. If you kill one or two a year, I believe Jin Yiwei can find enough reasonable evidence."

……

Just as Emperor Zhu was thinking about how to vent his anger, Alexander, who had just returned to Sand Goose, felt like beeping a husky.

At the beginning, Alexander and the mustache art student agreed on the surface to carve up the old Polish cousin, but in fact, the mustache art student monopolizes the Polish old cousin, and the sand goose went to kill Osman.

This agreement was implemented very well at the beginning. The mustache art student did send troops to the old Polish cousin, and the Sand Goose did use troops against Ottoman.

Even if Sand Goose was later taught by Daming to be a man, Alexander still did not regret the original agreement.

He even had the courage to entangle George III, Mahmud II, Franz II and others to attack Ming Dynasty together.

But I never expected that before Alexander and George III split up to win Xiao Poqiu to other countries, the Austrian art student with a mustache would start attacking Sand Goose without saying a word!

What's even worse is that the sand goose army didn't react at all at the beginning!
