Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 384 The General Who Knows the Change Is the Good General of Ming Dynasty

The Kingdom of Valois and the Kingdom of England are feuds. After Charles V came to power, he quickly started a war with England. He was not afraid of failure, and he didn't even mind surrendering to a third party.

This opponent is England, and vice versa.

The soldiers who subdue others without fighting, the two brothers Guo Xing and Guo Ying, the enthusiasm for destroying the country just mentioned, disappeared in an instant.

It can't be said that wherever Daming sends his troops, the people there will surrender, right?
What's the point of fighting this battle?

Guo Ying wants to make meritorious service, but he also wants to fight. Now he has finally encountered the opportunity to go out to fight and lead his own troops. Guo Ying also wants to have fun, but now he meets an opponent and surrenders directly... Guo Ying punched cotton Even if he is strong, he will not be able to use it.

It's hard.

"What's next?"

Guo Ying had no choice but to ask Guo Xing: "The only enemies here are the Kingdom of Valois and England, right? The other countries have been surrounded by the northern army. How can we fight in the future?"

If I had known this, I would not have traveled all the way to Europe, and it would be nice to stay in the mainland of Daming.

"If we can't fight a war, then we will engage in development."

Guo Xing seemed to have an answer already in his heart, and when he heard Guo Ying's question, he said it directly: "I said before July [-]th that when a war is fought to the end, it's logistics. What is logistics? It's development. We are in Europe. The better the development, the more stable the position will be, this is an inevitable thing, so the next thing we have to do is to vigorously develop and build!"

Hearing Guo Xing's words, Guo Ying was a little at a loss: "But, I don't know how to do it. Apart from fighting in these years, where have I done economic development?"

"Can't you learn if you haven't done it before? We didn't know how to fight before, but after fighting again and again, didn't we learn it in the end?"

Guo Xing felt that 'no' is not an excuse, he can't go to school, people don't know it at birth, and what they can do needs to be acquired through hard work: "In the Ming Dynasty, how many generals have changed their identities? Don't they also know? No If you can learn it, will you learn it?"

As he said that, Guo Xing hammered Guo Ying on the shoulder: "I started to learn from digging ditches and made little progress. I don't believe we can't learn it."

Just like fighting a war, at the beginning he used brute force, aggressiveness, and ruthlessness to survive the wars. Now that he has started to get involved in the field of economic construction, Guo Xing is also ready to learn from scratch just like fighting a war.

Guo Ying couldn't listen, and said to Guo Xing in a difficult way: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to learn, but... what time is it now? We are both so old, if we start from the beginning, when will we learn?" ?”

"No matter when you learn, don't you have to learn? Age is not an excuse."

Guo Xing looked at the reluctant Guo Ying, and said meaningfully: "Brother, we are fellow villagers of His Majesty and Qiwu. If we don't have any credit at all, if we go back like this, we will definitely be ridiculed. I can't afford to lose it." This person, so I decided to learn! No matter what we do, we need to have our own attitude."

Compared with Guo Ying, Guo Xing sees farther. He knows that as Ming's iron cavalry conquers one piece of land after another, the battle will always be over one day. After the battle, what can soldiers like them do?
Therefore, Guo Xing thought of transformation, and only the transformation of Daming will have its own place.

……

Whether Guo Ying wants to transform or not, Guo Xing is ready.

Leaving the matter of accepting the surrender of the Kingdom of Valois and the Kingdom of England to Zhou Buxin, Guo Xing went directly to the grassroots and started to learn from the simplest building a house. , and went to dig the foundation with Guo Xing.

However, they only learn to understand this industry. As they understand more deeply and learn more, they gradually come out of the sequence of coolies, become supervisors, and then learn about engineering.

In just half a year, Guo Xing and Guo Ying have changed from veterans in the battlefield to veterans in the workplace. They are very familiar with the work on the construction site. Gradually, Guo Xing handed over the work of civil engineering to Guo Ying. I will consider the supply channels for infrastructure construction.

Steel bars and cement are the two building materials that are most in demand. If Europe wants to develop, these two materials are necessary. Guo Xing specially transferred several professionals from China to start investigating suitable factories. place.

As for Zhou Buxin... he began to be responsible for the formulation of agriculture and population, and the teaching was handed over to the students who came to Europe to support him.

Zhou Buxin had accepted Zhu Han’s new style of teaching, and he also knew that the traditional Four Books and Five Classics were not suitable for the needs of Ming Dynasty, so changes were necessary, but the Four Books and Five Classics were very necessary to control the local aborigines, let them learn Chinese , Chinese, and reading Chinese books, they will be assimilated in a short time, which is also a good thing for Ming Dynasty to rule Europe in the future.

The cooperation of the three is quite tacit, and one person manages a share.

Except for things that must be completed with the cooperation of three people, there is basically no connection with other things.

With a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, the development of Europe ushered in their troika.

……

When Zhu Yuanzhang learned about the changes Guo Xing and Guo Ying made in Europe, it was already half a year later.

Knowing that Guo Xing and Guo Ying did not blindly fight and fight wars, but changed their functions and began to invest in the development and construction of Europe on the basis of maintaining the deterrent force of the army, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this, and took The secret letter was shown to Zhu Han, and he sighed and said: "At first, we were worried that these two boys would not get used to staying in Europe. After all, we are not just fighting wars now, but we didn't expect these two boys to do so well. Thinking about whether to reprimand them, it seems that there is no need for this now."

After Zhu Han read the secret letter, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "That kid Guo Ying has a quick temper. He can't think of the change. Guo Xing has a more stable temper and considers things more comprehensively. It should be his idea. Poor, at least he has an idea to learn, that’s enough, if our Ming’s generals are like Guo Xing and Guo Ying, our Ming’s development won’t have too many shackles.”

"Yes, Daming needs such talents!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and then said quite dissatisfied: "No, we have to find more talents from the old brothers, let them change, and continue to shine for our Ming Dynasty."

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's business. Zhu Han doesn't want to get involved. What if Zhu Yuanzhang entrusts himself with the job of 'changing jobs' for the old brothers by saying a few more words?
In order to be lazy, Zhu Han chose to talk less.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't intend to let him go just like that, but raised another question: "Qiwu, these days we have been thinking about how to improve our armaments when our Daming occupies all the land in the world? After all, without an opponent, it is not easy to make progress, and besides, the world will be invincible in the future, and when the time comes to develop armaments, will anyone support it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has really managed to be prepared for danger in times of peace. He has seen Daming's success today, but now he has begun to think about things after his success. What will happen to Daming if another opponent pops up in the future?
Go to war with current weapons?
It's not impossible, but without the lead, Zhu Yuanzhang will always feel unsafe.

Zhu Han felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was worrying unfoundedly: "Brother, that will happen hundreds of years later, so it's useless to think about it now? Besides... why do we build so many factories? Isn't it just for war?"

After a pause, Zhu Han went into more detail: "If nothing else, let's talk about the textile factory... It can be transformed into a military clothing factory in wartime, providing enough quilts for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the steel factory can produce armor And weapons... Besides, even if someone really rebelled, have we ever thought about the reason for his rebellion? Even if we use advanced weapons to suppress those people, can we guarantee the long-term peace and stability of our Ming Dynasty?"

The most important thing is to look at the emperor.

If the emperor loves the people like his son, who would hold his head up and do rebellion?

Even if someone rebels for his own ambition, how many people will support him?
There is nothing wrong with the saying that there is more help than righteousness.

It is not unreasonable for Zhu Han to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is worrying about others.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Zhu Han said, but he just felt that he had to think of a solution to the problem. Only in this way could the Ming Dynasty be passed down forever.

Zhu Han didn't think so. He felt that if the emperor of Ming Dynasty was a bastard, then it was justifiable for Daming to be overthrown. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's frowning face, Zhu Han said with a smile: "Brother, don't think so much, sons and grandchildren. We have our own children and grandchildren, why are we worrying so much? Let’s talk about how to develop armaments in peaceful times.”

Seeing that Zhu Han changed the subject, Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to worry about whether the Great Ming Dynasty could be passed on forever, but heard Zhu Han mention the method of armament development.

"Whether it is civilian-to-military or military-to-civilian conversion, there is a prerequisite, whoever develops better."

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and explained: "According to our plan, the Ming Dynasty will develop for a hundred years. In the future, the enemies of the Ming Dynasty will only exist within the Ming Dynasty, so the military equipment will not be so important. If the development of civilian use exceeds military use, then We can use the folk ones..."

"Of course, the manufacture of gunpowder, muskets, and cannons can only be controlled by the imperial court. Private individuals are not allowed to carry guns and gunpowder. Even if there is a need for gunpowder, it must be handled by the official. In this way, the official has the most important power. ..."

"In my opinion, our Shenji Battalion can be expanded. In the future, except for the standing gunpowder, other gunpowder can only be used by the Huaxia Kingdom's Shenji Battalion. This is the case anywhere in the world. Shenjiying controls the use and manufacture of gunpowder...Of course, this kind of regulation is not static. If the gunpowder of Ming Dynasty improves in the future, we will release the old generation of gunpowder to the people, and Shenjiying will continue to master the most advanced gunpowder. and firearms."

Yes, Not Bad.

This approach is good.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that what Zhu Han said was right and very reasonable.

Since Zhu Han invented gunpowder, Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as seeing the power of gunpowder. A city that cannot be conquered for a long time can be knocked down by gunpowder in an instant.

The Shenji Camp is only in China. The research, production and use of gunpowder are all in the Shenji Camp. After the Shenji Camp develops more powerful gunpowder, the less powerful gunpowder can be used for people's livelihood... Folks think With more powerful gunpowder, it can only promote the development of Shenjiying.

At that time, won't the most advanced weapons still be in the hands of the Shenji Battalion?
"Okay, that's a good idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud, and his frowning brows relaxed immediately: "Seventh Five-Year is Seventh Five-Year. Whatever answer we want, you can give any answer. We really can't live without you by our side."

Zhu Han didn't speak, and acquiesced to this fact.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the vision of 800 years ahead. He did not experience the era of information explosion in the later generations. He naturally did not understand a lot of knowledge. Zhu Han's knowledge is indeed ahead of Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Han can't guarantee that he will always be ahead.

Fortunately, I have my own system.

Zhu Han felt that without a system, Daming would never have been able to develop so rapidly.

"Brother, the world is so big now, that's because our current conditions are limited. In the future, we will develop faster railways and faster ships, and the world will shrink by then, so science and technology are the primary productive forces. At any time, we can't give up research, and Gephysics is like this."

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said to him: "The performance of Guo Xing and Guo Ying can show that our Ming Dynasty still has great potential to be tapped. This potential needs to be promoted with science."

"Enn, what Qiwu said is right, we will add these researches to Taixue in the future, so that the students of Taixue are no longer just nerds who dropped their book bags, but we will make them comprehensive."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head vigorously, agreeing with Zhu Han's point of view: "Qiwu, why don't you do it, the dean of the Imperial Academy?"

"I won't do it, I still want to build Yanjing City."

Zhu Han directly rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal, and then said seriously: "If you hadn't come to me, brother, I would have gone to discuss with Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang how to build Yanjing."

After discussing with Li Shanchang and Liu Ji, Zhu Han directly expanded the construction of the Yanjing Palace to the entire Yanjing City, and the budget was expanded several times. It's not enough for Zhu Han to toss about, and now we are going to build a new city. How long will it take for the construction to be completed?

However, after listening to Zhu Han's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed with Zhu Han's idea. Although the money was spent more, it was more useful, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhu Han was looking for excuses to steal and play tricks, so he said: "It's okay, go and do your work, let's reserve the position of the dean of the Taiyuan Academy for you. The imperial decree is to let you go to the Taiyuan Academy to teach."

"Hehe, if brother said that, then I have plenty of tricks. At worst, I will build Yanjing for ten or eight years, and see who can hold it off."

After Zhu Han finished speaking, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change his face, he ran away directly: "I went to find Lao Li and Lao Liu, brother, we will see you later."
