Mystery Makes Me Strong - #2025 - Chapter 2025: Pay tuition
Meeting of three minds.
Or Xiaohuan to do the telephone line.
His head was lying on Zhao Han’s place, and his feet were dangling on Jia Rong’s place.
How terrifying, how terrifying.
Zhao Han quickly told the other two about the capital’s information.
In fact, at this time, the court’s discussions did not have a good sense of confidentiality at all.
Only in the military and in the harem can we have a sense of confidentiality.
Jia Rong sneered: “Even if they knew that it was an attack from the east, they had to transfer troops from the south.”
Jia Lian nodded and said, “That’s right, whoever refuses to transfer troops will be disloyal to the emperor. This is a big problem.”
“Hey, the feudal dynasty killed people.” Zhao Han shook his head.
Sure enough, this is the army of the King of Diligence gathered in the capital.
However, the First Fleet hit and ran.
The army was dumbfounded.
At this moment, the Second Fleet finally dispatched troops, stabbing a knife at the vital point.
Directly sent troops into the mouth of Longjiang, blocking the transportation of water, and the food in the south of the Yangtze River could not be shipped immediately.
King Qin’s army had no food to eat.
There is not enough commercial grain in the north for a long time.
There is no Jiangnan either, but Huguang is familiar and the world is full.
The grains from Huguang rely on the Longjiang River to be transported to the mouth of the Longjiang River, and then to the north through the Grand Canal.
This is the channel of life.
Without Jiangnan Caoyun, it would be impossible to hold on.
For two months, the army of the King of Qin was ordered to return, and after only two days of food distribution, they all broke up along the way.
Become a rogue.
Swept around the capital.
Exaggeration?
History is even more exaggerated at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The civilian officials could not find food, so in order not to bear the food and grass of the Qin Wang army, they exploited the loopholes in the text of the deployment of soldiers.
The loophole is that the army has just arrived in a place, and as usual, it eats its own food and grass that day, and it will be supplied by the local county the next day.
So they mobilized the soldiers back and forth, keeping the team in one place for half a day, arriving in the morning and leaving in the afternoon.
Play tricks, that’s called a shrewd.
However, how could King Qin’s team have so much food. Soon the food ran out, and some soldiers starved to death. Under such circumstances, there were still a large number of soldiers who did not rebel, but just disbanded.
Under this kind of tossing, in the end, it was only killed by the peasant uprising, rather than being captured by the soldiers and the soldiers rioting like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The control of the imperial power and the system over the army can be said to have reached its peak.
I have to say that the soldiers of the feudal dynasty are really resistant to pressure, and the internal friction index is very high.
However, as soon as Qin Wang’s army left, the company’s fleet headed north again and came ashore to attack.
This time, the people above learned to be smart. They didn’t let so many people come to King Qin, and only used 30,000 people to station on the main road to prevent the capital from being raided.
However, the water transport was cut off, not only the soldiers had to eat, but also the ministers and the common people.
Soon the price of rice in Beijing rose to 3 taels of silver and one stone!
And it’s still rising.
At the same time, the company fleet recruited refugees outside the gate of the capital.
Hit the court’s face directly on the ground!
Starve to death, or go overseas?
This is not a multiple choice question.
No matter how terrifying the sea is, it is no more terrifying than Yi Zi eats.
Before the common people did not go to sea, most of them had no way to go to the seaside and died, and most of the inland people did not know that there was still a way to go to sea to make a living.
Now it is the Rongyao Company who sent people to put this road in front of us.
They sent a cavalry team, with some food, to boil porridge to lead the migrants to the sea.
For a time, a large number of refugees, lured by food, came to the beach, washed clean and then boarded the boat.
A boat can hold 100 tons of grain, and a person can live for a month with 10 catties of grain.
One month is enough to reach the southern island.
This time, Rongyao Company took out its own secret weapon: a steamship.
This has already begun to be built in the West, but it is still not widespread enough, because of the high cost and imperfect equipment, at this time, a large number of sailboats are still dominated by shipping.
But steam ships can move forward when there is no wind, and this is the biggest advantage.
That would give 40,000 lives.
In this case, the refugees went to sea one after another.
Some people wanted to go home when they were full, but after returning home, they were killed by bandits and made jerky.
As soon as this kind of thing is publicized, many refugees know that they are afraid.
In the end, there was simply no food to eat without boarding the ship.
Anyway, do big things, can not be soft-hearted.
Just like being chased by the enemy, you must send someone to stay behind. The team responsible for staying behind means being abandoned, but if you don’t do this, the entire army will be destroyed.
In war, it is impossible to talk about ordinary morality.
At the same time, the Second Fleet sent troops to land.
Two fortresses were built, Jiangnan Fortress and Jiangbei Fortress.
Use the Bastion system.
The imperial court hastily ordered that the major county governments are prohibited from distributing goods to the Rongyao Company.
There was a huge loss for a while.
However, at this time, they had other options, which was to **** the county government and rule by themselves.
At the same time, they threatened the county government’s commerce by force.
And they can be self-sufficient with overseas food for at least two years.
But it would be good for the court to last for a year.
The Rongyao Company has long stockpiled enough gunpowder, cannons, iron ore, saltpeter… and other war materials.
After the two fortresses were built, they were built again.
A mere 1,500 people can resist more than 10,000 people with this kind of fortress.
It is suitable for elites like them, but there are few people.
And they built their fortresses in commodity production areas.
Guarantee the production of commercial materials.
They mainly occupy the vast countryside.
At this time, the city was rarely a producer.
Only very few cities have a large number of artisan workshops.
Such as the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
And Rongyao and the others have long established many steam factories overseas.
All they need is where the ingredients come from.
Such as the origin of tea, raw silk, and porcelain.
They don’t care about the heavily guarded cities, they just need to occupy the countryside.
In the countryside, the imperial court had no soldiers, and it was impossible to send soldiers to guard them.
They occupied the most important raw material production area in the southeast by relying on the fortress.
In this way, there is grain overseas and trade commodities on land, so there is no fear of competing with the imperial court.
In this case, they already have a strategic advantage.
It can be said that this is the power of the transmigrator.
In other words, disease, accident, own will and execution are the great enemies of transmigrators.
As long as there are no problems in these three aspects, if you want to rebel, the probability of success is not small.
The three of Zhao Han are not lacking at all.
The court was completely panicked.
Hurry up to the south of the Yangtze River and send a large army, including 8,000 iron cavalry.
Want to rely on cavalry to crush the opponent.
Unfortunately, the cavalry could not cross the river.
You must face the Jiangbei Fortress first.
The pirate fleet blocked the Yangtze River, and the imperial court panicked.
The emperor then ordered another decree to restore Prince Teng.
However, Wang Ziteng said that he was seriously ill and could no longer lead troops.
The emperor personally sent people around Bashu, across the Longjiang River from the upper reaches, all the way to Jinling, which had not yet fallen, to check Wang Ziteng’s illness.
However, Wang Ziteng was sitting at home in a good manner, surrounded by family members.
“Sir, you are deceiving you!” The **** said in shock.
“Bullying, I’ll let you know what bullying is now!”
“The monarch regards his ministers as pigs and dogs, and his ministers regard the monarch as his enemies!”
Saying that, he asked the servant to pour a bottle of poison into the mouth of the eunuch!
The eldest **** struggled for a while, and his death was like an opportunity!
“This incident is finally over for today!” Jia Lian couldn’t help but say something in the original book after knowing this.
“Hmph, the emperor seems to be aloof, it turns out to be so fragile, as long as someone pushes you, you will fall!” Wang Ziteng looked at the letter from outside.
This is about pirates rebelling and besieging the capital.
This let him know that the court was very weak.
Even the mere pirates can’t deal with them, so they can only let the pirates come and go as they please.
Before on land, I could still rely on soldiers to cope, but now it is at sea.
The sea relies on large ships, many guns, fast ships, and excellent sailors, and it has nothing to do with the number of people.
Soon after, news came from the capital.
Queen dies…
Concubine Yuan was promoted to imperial concubine.
Well, this time it’s the queen’s turn to die of an inexplicable illness.
After the Jia family heard the news, there was a burst of jubilation.
However, Jia Baoyu knew that Concubine Yuan had been rescued from the harem by a group of men in black and disappeared.
Actually went to an island somewhere.
The palace is not so strict.
…
three months later.
Jiangbei Fortress.
To the north is an army of 50,000, known as 200,000, densely packed.
It’s just that they soon discovered that this fortress was too difficult to chew.
They used a lot of cannons to bombard the fort.
However there is only some simple destruction.
Behind this fort is Longjiang.
The pirate fleet controls the water control and can be replenished at any time.
If a fort is always supplied, it can hold for a long time.
Because it can not only replenish supplies, but also replenish soldiers.
That is the consumption of both sides to see who’s finances go bankrupt first.
Obviously, the supply route is short, and the side that uses sea for supply has an advantage.
…
At this moment, a red-haired merchant ship watched the battle between the two sides at the mouth of Longjiang.
The cannon roared, and yet another shock failed.
The captain and first mate are all red-haired people.
After the captain looked at it with the telescopic mirror, he couldn’t help but regretfully said: “It seems that this Eastern Dynasty is about to end, why can’t we do this?”
The mate said: “It’s very simple, Jiabidan, because we don’t look like the locals.”
“Is it that simple?” The captain couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, it’s as simple as that. Because of their different appearances, we can’t make them obey us sincerely, and we won’t treat them as the same kind. Everyone’s mind is different,” said the first mate.
“Just because they look alike, they can conquer this Eastern Dynasty? I still can’t believe it’s that simple.” The captain shook his head.
“The reason is actually that simple. We can’t really integrate into these people if we don’t look alike. We are here to make money. We don’t look the same as them, so we lack a sense of substitution for their ethnic group, and we don’t want to get it among them. A sense of accomplishment, so we don’t think about leading them to get honor.” The first mate is obviously a literate person, very powerful, and he has to be a philosopher.
He was right.
Until the 21st century, the appearance of people still determines the stability of ethnic groups.
“Can you tell me more about it?” the captain asked curiously.
“Yes, for example, the people of Rongyao Group treat the refugees and treat them as the foundation of their own rule. Will we do this?”
“No, we don’t worry about them, and we don’t worry about sleeping together.” The captain thought about it and shook his head.
“That’s the key. It’s not an excuse that the distance is too far, or that we have too few people. The key is that they look different, and we can’t treat them as our own.”
“I understand, the people of Rongyao Company are the same as them, so the manpower of the Eastern Dynasty can be transformed into the people of their company on the spot. This is the key.” The captain finally understood.
“That’s it. If we choose to transform these people into our own people, then we have worked so hard for so long, doesn’t that mean we are working for them?” The first officer shook his head.
“Yeah, we are here to make money, not to give them money. And these people in Rongyao Company, they are for domination, the main purpose is not to make money, but to gain power, gain glory, and gain this ethnic group. reputation in the world.” The captain understood.
He also felt very sorry.
Because of the Rongyao Company, many of them have understood it over the years.
That’s the way they colonize.
Bring in your own people, then open up the land and kill the natives.
The only difference is that it is too difficult for them to bring in their own people.
“Yes, our colony can only introduce a few thousand people at a time. Their colony is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and it expands to a million in two years. This is something we can achieve in decades. .” The chief mate shook his head.
“This is the foundation of their victory, the same technology, the same method, but with a larger population, they will gain the dominion of this huge eastern dynasty. I’m really not reconciled.” The captain shook his head.
The first mate smiled and said, “That’s right, so when we come here, we can’t watch. Captain, which side do you think we’re going to take?”
“We must stand on the side of the imperial court. They don’t understand business and can give us a chance to monopolize goods. The imperial court will not have commercial competition pressure with us, and that Rongyao Colonial Company, they are a bigger company. Colonial group,” the captain said.
The first mate nodded: “Yes, we have to help the imperial court to restrain Rongyao Company. They have taken advantage of their own advantages and have robbed us of a lot of places in the entire southern islands, because they can bring more colonial population. many.”
So the red-haired captain decided to go to Beijing.
They secretly bypassed the Rongyao Company’s fleet, and after coming to the imperial court, they met with the Sage.
After kneeling in a big ceremony, the emperor was overjoyed when he heard that they were willing to use the fleet to help the court gain maritime superiority.
In fact, Rongyao Company is not as strong as that. The key is that the fleet is too powerful.
To build such a fleet, it would take the court more than five years to buy ships.
And time waits for no one.
This is the power of the navy. Once you take the lead, it will be difficult for you to catch up in the war.
Unless your industrial strength is strong enough, the opponent can’t destroy your industry.
The emperor decided to name the captain of the red-haired man as the Marquis of Dinghai. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
And gave them a lot of gold and silver to help them buy warships.
a month later.
The red-haired captain returned home happily with two million taels.
He decided to retire.
Yes, he is lying to the court.
No way, he really wanted to help the other party, but who made them so sloppy, and even paid the full amount directly.
Then why would he risk going to war?
Doesn’t he run nicely?
However, the emperor still has a big harvest, the harvest is: sea trade, no business and no evil.
If you don’t see the goods, never give all the money; in the same way, if you don’t see the silver, never send all the goods.
It’s worth the tuition fee.
