Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 477
In addition, Zhao Shuangxi also prepared five base numbers of artillery shells and three base numbers of rifle bullets for the troops of the two generals. "

Li Jing smiled. Li Jing used to use cardinal numbers to express the quantity of weapons and ammunition, but he didn't expect Shen Zheng to learn how to use them.

Of course, the base number set by Li Jing is far less than the ammunition base number of later generations of troops, mainly because of limited production capacity.

Li Jing stipulated that the ammunition base for a heavy artillery was ten rounds, that for a portable gun was twenty rounds, and that for a rifle was one hundred rounds.

Of course, the weapons provided by the logistics department were not enough for Sun Meng and Sun Chuanting, but these two troops were originally equipped with a certain amount of artillery ammunition.

Sun Meng's troops (including Liu Erleng's and Chen Dahu's) were equipped with more than 200 heavy artillery pieces, more than [-] portable artillery pieces, and three base numbers of shells. Each rifle had one base number of bullets.

Sun Chuanting's naval fleet is not many large ships, and even fewer ships can carry heavy artillery. There are only a dozen large ships, and each ship can only be equipped with a dozen heavy artillery pieces.

Portable guns are installed on every ship, and each ship has at least twenty portable guns.

In fact, the portable guns are mainly used for close combat, and it is the dozen or so big ships that really play a role.

In addition, ships can carry much more shells than the army, and each cannon per ship is at least five bases.After all, naval battles are different from those on land, and it is difficult to supply ammunition. If you can prepare more, you must prepare more.

The weapons provided by the logistics department are actually to prevent war damage. You must know that even in later generations, weapons will be scrapped after a certain period of time, not to mention that the quality of weapons at this time is far inferior to later generations?Of course, the guns need to be supplemented if they are destroyed.

In addition, the troops of the logistics department do not act together with the combat troops. Generally speaking, the logistics troops are notified to provide supplies when the combat troops need supplies.

Of course, the logistical troops will not be too far away from the combat troops, usually no more than three days' journey in one day.

Seeing that the combat troops and logistics troops were ready, Li Jingjing nodded and said, "Since you are ready, let's start to act."

Sun Meng and Sun Chuanting clasped their fists together and said, "The final general obeys the order!"

Li Jing waved his hand: "Before you act, I have to issue a few government orders, so that you can learn from others and be famous."

After scanning all the people present, Li Jing said to Wen Qing and Zhang Tongchang behind him: "I will give you an order, and you two will describe it. I will just give the general idea, and you can polish it yourself."

Wen Qing and Zhang Tongchang heard the words, spread out the paper hastily, and held the pen in their hands.

Li Jing got up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, Daming will fully open the sea ban, Rongcheng County in Shandong, Shanghai County in South Zhili, Taizhou in Zhejiang, Fuzhou, Xinghua, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou in Fujian, and Fuzhou in Guangdong. The Daming Foreign Trade Department was established in Macau and other places. The original Shibo Department in Fujian, Guangdong and other places was abolished and merged into the Foreign Trade Department.

The Department of Foreign Trade is in charge of Daming's overseas trade and collects overseas trade tax, which belongs to the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty.

Next, let me talk about the tax rate. Daming's tax on overseas trade is ten taxes and two taxes.Overseas taxation on trade with Daming is three out of ten taxes, you two mark it out, this tax rate refers to the tax rate for overseas sales of civilian goods to Daming, if you sell agarwood, jade and other luxury goods to Daming, the tax rate is ten taxes and ten taxes. "

Hearing that Li Jingding's tax rate was so high, everyone present couldn't help but exclaimed.

Li Jing smiled: "You think I collect taxes too harshly, don't you? In fact, I still want to pay ten to twenty for luxury goods. Don't forget, the things that foreigners sell to our Daming are several times, more than ten Double the huge profits, what is the tax for such a small amount!"

Everyone nodded at the same time.

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "Let me talk about the appointment of generals."

Seeing everyone listening intently, Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Promote Zheng Zhilong to be the admiral of the Fujian Navy, confer the title of Fengguo General (three-rank Wusan rank, honorary title), Yin Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, Zheng Sen, is Zhongwu Xiaowei (from the sixth-rank Wusan rank) Level). The Fujian Navy is responsible for protecting the southeast coastal waters of Daming, as well as protecting the foreign trade of maritime merchants, and is not allowed to engage in trade.

Sun Meng concurrently served as governor of Fujian and prime minister of Fujian's military and political affairs. The administrative office was located in Fuzhou and he took office immediately.

Liu Erleng was moved to serve as Fujian chief envoy and Fujian general, and the former Fujian chief envoy was transferred to Jiangxi chief envoy.

Chen Erhu was moved to be the chief envoy of Zhejiang and the general of Zhejiang.

Southern Zhili was abolished, and Jiangsu and Anhui Chief Envoys were established. The former Zhejiang Chief Envoy was transferred to Jiangsu Chief Envoy, and the naturalized prefect Miao Zhongjing was appointed as Anhui Chief Envoy.

The Huguang Political Commissioner Division was split into the Hubei Political Commissioner and the Hunan Provincial Political Commissioner. The former Huguang Political Commissioner Wu Wei served as the governor of the two lakes, the former Huguang Zuozheng was appointed as the Hubei Provincial Commissioner, and the former Huguang Youcan Political Commissioner was appointed as the Hunan Provincial Political Commissioner.

Zhou Daqing was promoted to be the general of Guangdong, and he led the army to station in Guangdong today.

Zhuo Zhouhu was appointed as the deputy governor of the Eastern Military Region and concurrently served as the general of Shandong.

Zhou Shitou was promoted to be the general of Shanxi and took over the military affairs of Shanxi.

Sun Hutou was promoted, and Li Dingguo was appointed as the deputy governor of the northern military region. "

Listening to Li Jing's dazzling series of instructions, everyone except Gao Qi and Chen Guozhu were dumbfounded.

In particular, Li Jing was shocked by the dismissal of Nanzhili and Huguang.

You must know that Nanzhili is the seat of Nanjing, and it is at the same level as Beizhili, which belongs to Beijing. Abolishing Nanzhili is tantamount to abolishing Nanjing.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, Zhou Hengchen suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Marshal, how do the officials in Nanjing arrange it?"

Everyone heard the words and looked at Li Jing. Everyone understood that although Zhou Hengchen was talking about his own job, the current issue is closely related to everyone's rights and interests.

Because Nanjing also has an administrative team, and this team is on the same level as Beijing.

Although officials in Nanjing do not have any real power, being arranged to be an official in Nanjing is basically tantamount to providing for the elderly, but the rank is the rank, and the position is the position, which cannot be changed.

No matter how domineering Li Jing was, he couldn't send these people home with a single order.In addition, there are many available people in Nanjing, and Li Jing will definitely not abandon these people.

Everyone here knows that after Li Jing entered Beijing, he won a large number of officials, and many positions in the various ministries were vacant. In addition, Li Jing established many new departments, and there were even more vacancies. Before there were no suitable candidates, Everyone here holds several jobs.

With so many positions, the work is of course tiring, but it also means that they have more power.

Now that Nanjing is abolished, the officials in Nanjing must be transferred to the capital and fill these vacancies. This is tantamount to taking away part of the power of these people, and the most important thing is that the people transferred are at the same level as them, and some are even higher than them Higher, who cares who is not sure.

Seeing that everyone was focusing on himself at the same time, Li Jing said solemnly: "Arranging these people is very simple. Anyone who is over [-] years old will go home to provide for the elderly. Those under [-] years old will be assessed by the Ministry of Officials, and those who are capable will stay in the hospital." Beijing and the local government have no ability to let them go home. As for their rank..."

Speaking of this, Li Jing suddenly smiled: "You must know what level you used to be. Do you think I employ people based on level?"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words. Li Jing's words could not be more clear. All the people here are Li Jing's direct descendants. No matter how high-level those people in Nanjing are, when they arrive in the capital, they can only serve as their deputy.

With a wave of his hand, Li Jing continued: "There are some things that you need to look at. Although power is a good thing, if you hold it too much, you will be hated by others. When it is time to let it go, let it go appropriately, so that everyone can relax. Some aren't?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

These people here have followed Li Jing for many years, and they are very familiar with Li Jing's handling style. Li Jing is a person who values ​​power even if he says he doesn't.

It is said that Li Jing values ​​power because Li Jing wants to carry out the New Deal and will never allow anyone to obstruct him. On this issue, Li Jing is absolutely centralizing power.

It is said that Li Jing does not value power because as long as the people below can implement Li Jing's government orders, then Li Jing will delegate power to the lower levels. On the premise of not violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jing only cares about the results and will never intervene with these people how to behave.It can be said that the power in the hands of these people is much greater than that of the former ministers.

There are many powerful people who want to pursue more power when they have power. From the perspective of men, it is understandable that they want to strive for more power. However, in the process of fighting for power, many people will Lost in the power field, these people will do everything for power.

And when they are given power, they will be very happy to accept it, but most people are not willing to let them remove their power.Greed for power and position, this is a common problem of many people in the power field.

What Li Jing said just now was to wake them up, don't be too obsessed with the power in your hands, because too much power will block the way of others, and if there are too many people blocking, these people will huddle together and form a group Opposition forces.

Li Jing is not afraid of opposition forces, nor is he afraid of the people below forming a small group, because it is useless to be afraid, this phenomenon has always been there, and it is not transferred by Li Jing's will.

But Li Jing will never tolerate too much opposition, nor will he tolerate the formation of a large interest group by the people below. Li Jing must eradicate such a power group.

This point can be seen from the fact that Li Jing tried his best to disintegrate groups like Fushe and did not reverse the case for the Donglin Party.

All the people here are good people, Li Jing only needs to say a few words, and everyone will understand what Li Jing means.Li Jing didn't want his direct descendants to artificially let the people below form interest groups because of their love for power.

Knowing Li Jing's intentions, these people suddenly made up their minds, instead of letting those people in Nanjing get their hands on their power, they should promote their own people.

Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, but immediately looked thoughtful, Li Jing couldn't help but smiled wryly.It is estimated that it will not be long before small hills will appear in the court, and I am the biggest hill among them.It seems that people are too smart is not a good thing.
