Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Zhu Gang stood straight, his eyes shining like stars, staring closely at Zhu Biao who was writing furiously.

He waved his right hand vigorously in the air, as if commanding thousands of troops.

Then Zhu Gang continued with a fluent voice like a river bursting its banks: "The use of firearms cannot be learned all at once, but should be taught in stages.

In the early stage, we will focus on teaching basic operations so that they can first become familiar with the basic performance and firing process of firearms. "

He paused slightly and glanced at everyone, as if considering their reactions.

"With the in-depth investigation of their loyalty and the comprehensive evaluation of the training effect, we will gradually carry out in-depth teaching.

As for the command, the 'Yongzi Battalion' needs to be disbanded and evenly incorporated into different Ming army combat units."

Zhu Gang put his hands on his hips, looking determined.

"In this way, the generals of the Ming Dynasty will be in charge of unified command and dispatch, and we will be able to ensure that their actions are coordinated with our army and there will be no mistakes."

He thought for a moment and added, “At the same time, a military supervisor must be established, and this supervisor must be a trusted confidant.

Let them supervise the every move of the "Yongzi Camp" in real time, and take timely control of any disturbance.

To ensure their loyalty, this approach needs to be multi-pronged.”

Zhu Gang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

“On the one hand, we need to provide them with generous treatment and generous rewards, so that they can truly feel the many benefits of cooperating with Ming Dynasty.

People always seek profit, and when they have tangible benefits, they will naturally be more content.”

Then a sly look flashed in his eyes, “On the other hand, when the noble children of Suphan Buri first enter the Ming Dynasty for study and training, they must sign a detailed contract with them.

It must be put down in black and white to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.

If anyone dares to betray the Ming Dynasty, humph!
Severe sanctions will be taken against his family and country to make them know the price of betrayal!

In addition, special personnel must be arranged to maintain close contact with the families of these noble children.

Just like flying a kite, the string must always be held in our hands to form an invisible but powerful restraint. "

As he spoke, Zhu Gang raised his chin slightly, his expression seemed as if everything was under his control.

At this time, Xie Yuer was sitting quietly aside, like a quietly blooming orchid.

She listened to Zhu Gang's story with full concentration, nodding slightly from time to time, and frowning from time to time.

There was a thoughtful look between his brows.

Just at this moment, Chang Qingyun walked in with light steps, holding a cup of tea.

She was wearing a light blue brocade robe, which shone like the rippling water of a lake.

The emerald green silk ribbon tied around the waist is like a lively green shadow.

Chang Qingyun's figure is even more graceful, as soft as a willow branch in spring.

As the daughter of Chang Yuchun, Chang Qingyun grew up in the general's mansion.

Having been influenced by her surroundings, she naturally had a lot of insights into military strategies.

Chang Qingyun frowned slightly, and her smart eyes showed sharpness and thoughtfulness.

She shook her head slightly and said in a crisp voice: "Third brother, although this idea is good, it seems to lack sufficient restraint on those noble children in Suphanburi.

Suphan Buri is far away in a foreign country, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

Driven by interests, there is no guarantee that they will not develop disloyal ideas.

What should we do if these people appear to be obedient on the surface but secretly reveal what they have learned?

We have worked hard to plan, but we must not end up making wedding clothes for others."

After saying this, Chang Qingyun gently put down the tea tray in her hand and folded her hands in front of her.

She looked at Zhu Gang with a serious expression, her eyes full of worry. Zhu Gang still looked confident and his tone was firm as iron.

He took a step forward, bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, there are no eternal enemies or friends in this world, only eternal interests.

As long as the Ming Dynasty can offer enough benefits to attract Suphan Buri, there is no need to worry about them not keeping their promise.

When there is a big reward, there will always be brave men. This is true everywhere.

Furthermore, during the cooperation process, we can also proceed step by step and act flexibly.

Always keep an eye on their movements, and take immediate action if there is any abnormality."

As Zhu Gang spoke, he gestured in the air with his hands.

His eyes were firm and bright, and he exuded an unquestionable aura.

Chang Qingyun nodded slightly, with a hint of thought in her eyes.

I saw her walking to the window, and the sunlight outside the window was shining on her, outlining her graceful figure.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Chang Qingyun said slowly: "Having said that, we still need to act with caution.

The situation in Suphan Buri is complicated, with various forces intertwined.

If we can plan ahead and gain more information about their country, we may be able to better deal with various variables.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."

At the same time, Chang Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was sketching out a countermeasure in his mind.

After a moment, she turned around, her eyes revealing determination and wisdom, and said in a clear voice: "We can start with the merchants who have trade relations with Suphan Buri. These merchants travel back and forth between the two places all year round, and they must be familiar with the local customs and political situation in their country.

Talk to them more, maybe you can find some useful clues."

After listening to Chang Qingyun's words, Zhu Gang said solemnly: "Sister Chang is right, this is indeed a difficult problem.

If we can enhance our understanding and control over their countries, perhaps this concern can be alleviated.

Speaking of this, restarting maritime trade is one solution.

Maritime trade not only enhances exchanges between the two sides and allows them to share what they have, but also enables them to gain more intelligence, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

However, the current situation of maritime trade is worrying, with Japanese pirates and pirates rampant, and most of the profits have been plundered by them.

If the emperor insists on not lifting the 'sea ban', the situation will only get worse, and maritime trade will be hard to pick up."

At this point, he frowned slightly.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, a look of deep worry on his face.

Xie Yuer frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

At this time, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Husband, if we want to restart the maritime trade, it will be very difficult.

But after listening to what you said just now, I have an idea.

The role of the ironclad fleet is crucial in this. Can we conduct maritime trade in a manner similar to the "tribute trade"?

In this way, the 'Maritime Silk Road' can be reopened and its former prosperity restored.

At the same time, the imperial court could also place intelligence personnel such as the Jinyiwei in overseas vassal states to collect intelligence secretly.

I just don’t know how the Ironclad Fleet project is progressing and whether it can undertake such an important mission.”

Xie Yuer tilted her head slightly and looked at Zhu Gang with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

It looks like peach blossoms in spring, delicate and charming.

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly upon hearing this, shook his head helplessly, and then slowly said: "Although the Ming Dynasty has already had artillery and muskets, their range, accuracy and power are limited, and they cannot fully exert the combat advantages of ironclad ships.

If this ironclad ship does not have powerful firearms, it is like a tiger without claws and teeth, with only brute force. " (End of this chapter)
