Chapter 133 Proposal 2
After listening to this, Xiao Tianjian also understood Fu Deming's difficulties. Now the middle and the dynasties are newly established. In addition, all places are dilapidated because of the war, and there are places to spend money everywhere. Now the household department is very difficult to do. The limited funds must be carefully allocated. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be careless. Just like the Ming Dynasty, it's going to go bankrupt!
However, Xiao Tianjian is not willing to compromise on accelerating the construction of a navy, because no one knows more about the importance of the sea to China than him, and it is inseparable from the water army to solve the problems in the south. So after thinking about it, he shook his head to deal with Deming and said, "I know your dilemma, but I don't No matter how difficult it is, the construction of the sea ship cannot be postponed! Because compared with the price we will pay in the future, it is worth what we pay now!
I also know that there are too many places to spend money. In the battle against thieves in the northwest, we should first ensure that the next step of troops in the southeast and southwest should also be guaranteed. As for farmland and water conservancy, we can't let it go! However, I think that the repair of the city walls in various places can be suspended for a while. In addition to the repair of the Great Wall in the north border, the repair of the wall in various parts of the mainland can stop first and use the limited financial resources on the blade, but remember that nothing can be lost, now you can't lose the water army and build warships. It must be fully supported!
The reason why I do this is that you will understand me in the future! But don't question my decision now. I hope you will do your best to support the construction of the navy! Whether it is human, financial or material resources, priority should be given to guarantee!"
After listening to this, Fu Deming nodded helplessly and agreed to the order. After all, Xiao Tianjian has rarely made mistakes for so many years. In terms of grasping the future, Xiao Tianjian is much stronger than any of them. Previously, everyone saw this. Now Xiao Tianjian is trying his best to create a The sailor who can cross the sea must have his idea. There should be nothing wrong with this matter, so he, the shopkeeper, can only do as Xiao Tianjian said.
This made Liu Jiang very happy, so Liu Jiang quickly thanked Xiao Tianjian.
"Don't thank me first. Although you Liu Jiang did a good job in the water battle of the Yangtze River, it does not mean that you can do the same well at sea. Although I don't know the water division, I also know that the water war on rivers and lakes is very different from the naval battle on the sea. If the water army is handed over to you, you will do your best to build it for me. A strong navy comes out! Otherwise, you can live on this river all your life!
By the way, tell me what's going on with your navy now! How are the personnel, ships and water camp doing? After Xiao Tianjian saw Liu Jiang, he immediately knocked on Liu Jiang.
Liu Jiang was so scared that he shrank his neck and quickly replied, "Wei Chen will never dare to slack off. Now our navy has a total of 17,000 troops and more than 1,000 warships of all kinds, but most of them are inland river ships. At present, they are organized into a water camp, stationed along the Yangtze River. In addition, Weichen is stationed in Ningbo and Songjiang Prefecture. A water camp to prevent the water theft of the Zheng family in the south!
In addition, in the past six months, the last general has followed the oracle and recruited more fishermen from the East China Sea to join the army. In addition, he has also collected dozens of warships of the Ming Army of the Ming Army in Ningbo, including two No. 2 lucky boats, five Haicang boats, seven sentry boats, and several centipede boats and more than a dozen other small warships. But most of them are useless. They can only be used for the navy near the sea!
In addition, the last general is still in the coastal area. He has found a way to search for dozens of sand ships and dozens of all kinds of old warships, which have also been integrated into the Songjiangfu Water Camp and Ningbo Water Camp. However, these ships have been in disrepair and are useless. There is an urgent need to add more warships!"
"How many water troops have been trained in Songjiangfu Water Camp and Ningbo Mansion Water Camp now?" Xiao Tianjian immediately asked.
"The Holy One, the last general of the two water camps has trained 1,300 sailors each, and there are more than 70 sea boats of all kinds!" Liu Jiang replied immediately.
"Not enough! Far from enough! Nowadays, in the Yangtze River and the lakes, the naval force of the navy can be reduced. The warships that can go to sea should be moved to the areas of Songjiang and Ningbo as much as possible. In addition, the water camps of Songjiang and Ningbo should be expanded. I will allow your sailors to train three water battalions in each of these two places. In addition, one can be used to fight with the water army on land. The total strength of the war battalion must reach 10,000 to 15,000 at the end of the year. In the future, it will be expanded to about 50,000 in three years. As many fishermen as possible who are good at sailing on the sea can be recruited, and the military's sage can be doubled!
From now on, your navy will be renamed as the Royal Navy! What I want is not a sailor that can only move at the seaside, or can only fight in the inland water system. What I want is a navy that can really cross the world and show off the ocean on behalf of our Chinese people! The name of the sailor is not suitable. Let's change it to the navy in the future! As for other soldiers and horses on land, they will be collectively called the army in the future!
As the first officer of the navy, you must speed up the training of the generals under your command in the near future, and strive to use it for naval battles after the Spring Festival! Before the New Year, at least I should be able to take down Zhoushan outside Ningbo to ensure that the coastal areas of Zhejiang will no longer be disturbed by Zheng's sailors!
The Ministry of War should increase its support for the navy. In addition, a naval martial arts hall should be set up in Ningbo Prefecture, which specializes in training cadets for the navy. After completing the course, it will be immediately incorporated into the navy!" With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tianjian renamed the navy.
Although the navy and the navy seem to be the same, both for fighting on the water, in fact, Xiao Tianjian knows very well that the navy does not mean the navy. The real navy should be able to sail all over the world and fight on the sea, not the name of the navy can be replaced.
In later history, although the late Qing Dynasty also formed a seemingly powerful Beiyang sailor, Fujian sailor and other sailors similar to the navy, they did not defend the sea border for the country. What Xiao Tianjian wanted was not a sailor, but a navy that could really cross the sea, so he had to determine the name of this navy first. After all, at present, his subordinates, including these important ministers, do not know much about the sea and do not pay attention to it. He can only guide these people, gradually let everyone form an understanding of the sea, and create a strong and unparalleled navy for the Chinese nation in the future.
After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, Liu Jiang and Zhu Chen were a little dumbfounded. Xiao Tianjian's handwriting and appetite were a little too big! With one mouth, he changed the navy into a royal navy, and as soon as he touched his mouth, he had to expand the navy to 50,000 troops within three years. Although Zheng Zhilong has a lot of sailors in his hands, he can't reach so many people! What's the use of so many sailors in the future?
So everyone was shocked, but as soon as Xiao Tianjian said, now he is a golden mouth, and he is arbitrary. Although everyone doesn't understand, they can only agree first, but it can make Liu Jiang very happy and thank you again.
After saying these chores, it was already noon. Not to mention the ministers, even Xiao Tianjian himself felt a little hungry, and saw that the ministers were standing with sore backs and legs, so Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and asked people to prepare meals in the Fengtian Hall and give everyone a seat. He said while eating in the Fengtian Hall.
After listening to this, the ministers also felt fresh. After that, Xie En sat on the chairs sent by the bodyguards one after another. Soon, the food was also prepared and sent to the hall.
Although Xiao Tianjian nominally gave the banquet to the ministers, he did not let people send too much wine, and the so-called banquet meal was also very shabby. It was just a small pot of wine for each person, a pot of tea, and some miscellaneous cakes. As for the dishes, it was not much better. Each person had a small plate of pickles and a plate of salted fish. In addition, A bowl of braised pork is not bad.
However, everyone is also very clear that Xiao Tianjian leads the army to fight all day long. He has never paid attention to eating and drinking. He has long been used to it. It's good to serve a small bowl of braised pork for everyone today. Moreover, everyone said that all morning, they were thirsty and hungry, and they didn't care too much. Everyone started together. Can Yun generally swept away the food in front of them, and even the pot of tea was poured down.
Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and asked people to remove the dishes and smiled, "This braised pork tastes good! Ha ha! Come on, this time I came back from the north and brought back some good things to refresh everyone!"
So he waved his hand and sent a pile of things into the hall. Someone immediately saw that it was a dry tobacco bag used by northerners and some cut tobacco.
It turned out that before Xiao Tianjian came to this era, he was actually addicted to smoking, but for a long time, he could only give up if he couldn't smoke. In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, tobacco had entered China and began to be planted in large quantities in China, and many people have begun to learn to smoke, especially Northerners, and because they planted tobacco leaves and occupied the land for growing grain, which affected their financial income, Chongzhen also issued an order to ban smoking.
This time, Xiao Tianjian led the army to go north and found that someone was smoking in the north, which aroused his addiction to smoking, so he immediately got some dry tobacco bags and had a lot of smoking.
But of course, the tobacco at this time was not as good as the cigarettes of later generations, and it was very strong, but Xiao Tianjian was still addicted to smoking and brought back some tobacco by the way. Now he took it out for the ministers to share.
As a result, after a while, the Fengtian Hall was smoky. Immediately, many people began to cough loudly. They shook their heads repeatedly to say that they couldn't stand such a thing, but Xiao Tianjian didn't think that Fu Deming and Li Jinde actually had it. The two of them, who are good at holding dry tobacco bags, skillfully pack cigarettes, and then light the fire with the fire. They are very happy to spray clouds and smoke fog. At a glance, you can see that these two guys should have tried this thing a long time ago, and they must have been good at it, which made Xiao Tianjian quite angry. If he had known that these guys had something long ago, He doesn't have to stand such a long-term addiction to smoking!
The reason why Xiao Tianjian attaches importance to tobacco is that he knows that this thing contributes a lot to financial revenue in future generations. He doesn't want to poison Chinese people, but it's not as good as drugs. Under normal circumstances, it's not too harmful (smoking people should not jump out and scold! I don't deny that cigarettes are a good thing, but this thing has limited harm. It's not a flood beast! If it were really like the propaganda, the country would have banned the ban on smoking! Unfortunately, the cold wind is one of the addicts! If there is no cigarette in the code, it won't come out! Ha ha!) If this thing is good at using, once the industry is formed in the future, it is at least a commodity that can be exported for money. It is also a good commodity to sell to foreigners in the future!
Thinking of this, Xiao Tianjian even thought badly about whether to open up some land in some places, specialize in planting opium poppies, and make opium in the future. Relying on the huge ships and cannons of the powerful navy he built in the future, he also opened the door of Europeans, and exported a large number of opium to them, and also worked hard. It harms them, but this matter is not within the scope of consideration at present. Even if it is planted, it can't be planted in mainland China. At least it should be planted there after a colony in Asan, India, and then export it to Europe. Otherwise, it will hurt itself if it is not done well, so smoking now is also It's harmless.
