The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Huang Zhongqiu decided to recommend his nephew, lest his talent be buried.

If his nephew can successfully enter the Royal Institute to work, then he will be honored as an uncle.

When Huang Luzhuang heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Uncle, is what you said true?"

Huang Zhongqiu nodded.

"That's natural!"

"The blueprint you saw today is a confidential project of the research institute."

"Since you have read it all, you must go to the research institute to make a report."

It was only now that Huang Zhongqiu remembered that the blueprint he showed to his nephew was a confidential project and needed to be reported to the higher authorities.

Huang Luzhuang nodded vigorously when he heard the words.

Obviously, he was also very excited about being able to join the Daming Imperial Research Institute and become a member of it.

The Imperial Research Institute of Ming Dynasty is the sacred place in the hearts of ninety-nine percent of science lovers in this era...

……

In the early morning of the second day, Huang Zhongqiu took his nephew and went straight to the Daming Imperial Research Institute.

After arriving at the research institute, Huang Zhongqiu took his nephew directly to see Wei Shan, the person in charge of the internal combustion engine project.

Then submitted the modified drawings of Huangluzhuang!

Wei Shan sat behind his desk, flipping through the drawings in his hand, his face full of astonishment.

"Zhongqiu, are you sure that your nephew modified the blueprint?"

"Instead of you changing it?"

Wei Shan's words were full of disbelief.

Obviously, he felt very incredible that a young man in his teens was able to improve the blueprint of the internal combustion engine, or improve it effectively.

Huang Zhongqiu nodded very vigorously, and said in a very confident tone.

"Yes, I'm sure it's my nephew changing me."

"I want to absorb him into the Royal Research Institute, and ask the team leader for accommodation."

Hearing this, Wei Shan took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"I can't decide this matter, but I will report it to my superiors."

"If your nephew is really a genius, I don't think the higher-ups should refuse him to join."

The Imperial Research Institute of the Ming Dynasty is currently the most important scientific research institution in the Ming Dynasty, not even one of them.

Including research and development of various advanced technologies, technological breakthroughs, exploration of basic theories, derivation of formulas...all done here.

With the support of the emperor's power, the development speed of the Daming Imperial Research Institute is not much different from the opening.

Every year, a large number of talents are absorbed into it!
As for the channels for attracting talents, apart from introducing from the universities established by the Ming Dynasty in various places, there are also ways to introduce talents from the society through the selection of imperial examinations.

To put it simply, as long as you can pass the exam, you can join the Daming Royal Institute and become an honorable researcher.

As for the simple selection of talents through examinations, what if spies get mixed in...

Zhu Hongyu has no good solution, he can only try his best to pay the researchers as much as possible, so that they will agree with Daming from the bottom of their hearts.

Or from time to time, manpower is arranged to carry out fishing law enforcement, and severe punishments are used to tell people what they cannot do.

Or send Jinyiwei and Dongchang to keep an eye on the research and development of some important topics, and keep an eye on some important personnel as a precaution.

This kind of method is used to counter spies, and it will definitely have an effect, but it probably won't be able to prevent the emergence of spies!

But this is something that can’t be helped. Although the existence of spies is really annoying, you can’t give up eating because of choking, right?
It would be a joke if the Institute was cut off from attracting talents because of fear of spies.

Wei Shan reported the matter to Wang An after several layers of approval.

After personally reviewing Huangluzhuang's improved drawings, Wang An personally finalized the absorption of Huangluzhuang into the Daming Royal Research Institute.

And ordered the staff below to arrange an entrance examination for Huang Luzhuang.

As long as he can pass the exam and go through the political review, he will be a member of the Daming Royal Research Institute.

……

Outside Nanjing, Zijin Mountain.

There is an empty school yard in the mountains, and in the center of the school yard, there is an armored combat vehicle that has just been painted.

The whole body is painted with red lacquer, and a lifelike tiger is painted on the red background.

All-steel armor, tracked wheels, and a circular turret that can rotate left and right.

The main weapon of this type of armored vehicle is a [-] mm caliber rear-loading rapid-fire gun.

The artillery shells are mainly flowering shells, in order to kill absolutely,
The secondary weapon is a rotary machine gun. Judging from its appearance, it is completely imitated of the Great Merciful Gatling Bodhisattva.

In terms of ammunition, paper shell fixed ammunition is currently used.

Although the paper shell bullets are not as powerful as metal fixed bullets, they are cheap!

But it is definitely no problem to use it for a dozen firepower suppression.

At least, in this era, it still belongs to black technology.

Adding the driver, ammunition and other things, the weight of the whole vehicle reached about five tons, and the track was pressed to the ground, leaving obvious marks one after another.

The only disadvantage is that due to the insufficient performance of the steam engine and the heavy body, the average speed of this armored vehicle is only a little over five kilometers per hour.

It's about the same speed as a person walking!
The speed is too slow, and basically has no real value. At present, it is just a show.

However, Zhu Hongyu knew that the future of armored vehicles was quite ambitious.

No matter how good-looking it is now, Zhu Hongyu is willing to throw money into it.

After all, for scientific research, especially military scientific research, it is absolutely impossible not to be willing to spend money.

This kind of thing is really one step ahead, step by step, as long as you can win the first-mover advantage, you really don't have to be stingy about money.

Zhu Hongyu closed the project report in his hand, nodded to the person in charge of the arsenal and said.

"Let's start the experiment. I can't wait to see the power of my Ming tiger."

Since the painting of the armored vehicle is a fierce tiger, Zhu Hongyu here uses the tiger to refer to the armored vehicle.

The person in charge clasped his fists to accept the order, and then opened his mouth to order.

"Start the experiment!"

With a yell, the researchers began to add water to the armored vehicle for burning coal.

There is such a problem with the steam engine, it will be very troublesome every time you want to start it.

But Zhu Hongyu was not in a hurry, and commented while flipping through the project report.

"Judging from the report, the performance of the Tiger is still very good, the only flaw is in the speed of travel and off-road ability."

Now Daming's armored vehicle can only run up to five kilometers on flat ground, and if it encounters a downhill, it will not know how slow it will be.

As for off-road capability...

In the words of some well-known people who secretly changed the concept, the roads in my Ming Dynasty are smooth, and armored vehicles do not need off-road capabilities.

Since it is not needed, it must not exist!

As time passed, the trial officially began.

The steam engine was running, and the whistle made a loud bang, and began to drive the armored vehicle.

The armored wheels rotated, driving the tracks to also start to rotate.

Amidst the loud rumbling noise, the armored vehicle began to move forward.

Small soldiers operate the turret rotation inside the armored vehicle.

As the armored vehicle travels, the turret rotates to aim at the target.

With a loud bang, a shell came out of the chamber and shot towards the target set in the school grounds.

The next moment, the shell hit the target, and the trigger fuze exploded with a roar.

Amidst the flames and gunpowder smoke, the target turned into pieces of wood, splashing in all directions.

The scarecrows around the target were also affected by the fragments, and a large area fell down.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Hongyu patted the table excitedly and said.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, the people around followed suit one after another, applauding and applauding.

It was obvious that everyone was very excited.

Experiments with the armored vehicle continued, and the machine gunner took aim at the scarecrow near the target and pulled the trigger.

The gun barrel began to rotate, and the sound of rattling was continuous.

A round of bullets was fired from the muzzle of the gun, forming a dense barrage and shooting at the scarecrows.

Da da da!Da da da!
The ammunition belt was quickly consumed, and the shell casings were thrown everywhere, and soon the interior of the armored vehicle was filled with gunpowder smoke.

White gunpowder smoke diffused from the gaps in the body of the armored vehicle, which was very conspicuous.

The scarecrows that the machine gunner aimed at were also swept by the dense barrage and turned into debris and straw flying around.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but smile.

He laughed loudly.

"Haha, from now on, our Ming army has this fierce tiger, and the cavalry is no longer invincible on the battlefield!"

"The nomads in the north can only sing and dance obediently!"

A moment later, the armored vehicle stopped, and several drivers and gunners emerged from the vehicle.

Zhu Hongyu walked to the school field in person, ready to take a closer look at this armored vehicle.

Looking at this steel machine that was allowed to remain warm, and then at the targets and scarecrows that were completely destroyed by shells and bullets, his eyes were full of pride and self-satisfaction.

After walking around the armored vehicle, Zhu Hongyu even got into the compartment himself, ready to try driving the armored vehicle.

Finally, Zhu Hongyu touched the barrel and said with a serious face.

"Do a good job of maintenance!"

"The imperial court organizes a military parade this time. If possible, the armored vehicles will also be displayed!"

What is the parade for?
To put it bluntly, it is to show off martial arts to deter foreign enemies.

Is there anything more shocking than pulling out a steel chariot to perform?

Of course, at present, Ming's armored vehicles basically have no actual combat value.

However, other countries do not know!
This armored vehicle is used to scare people, and the effect is definitely not bad.

When people around heard the words, they clasped their fists and agreed.

Zhu Hongyu then also left the school grounds, preparing to return to the palace.

The convoy stretched forward and backward for several miles, and teams of elite riders guarded the convoy.

In the car, Zhu Hongyu was sitting on the cushion, holding a play book in his hand, and was flipping through it.

The content of the memorandum is the implementation of Daming's governance plan for North Korea, as well as the statistics report submitted by the local government.

Judging from the current situation, after Da Ming took over North Korea, his governance of North Korea can be regarded as quite effective.

The first thing the Ming court did was to check the population and acres of land in North Korea, so as to understand the basic situation of North Korea.

Only by understanding the basic situation of North Korea can the court formulate corresponding policies!

According to preliminary statistics, North Korea has a total population of more than 530 million people, including 230 million males and [-] million females.

Based on the productivity conditions of the current era, the small peninsula has a population of 600 million people, which shows how big North Korea is now.

And what you need to know is that this is the population of North Korea after being misfortune by the Qing army.

Before the Qing army sent troops to destroy North Korea, the population of North Korea would only increase.

Moreover, the more serious problem is that the current ratio of male to female population in North Korea also has great hidden dangers.

This problem of imbalanced male to female ratio is even more serious than that of Daming.

However, the area of ​​cultivated land in North Korea is only [-] million mu.

Even if it is an average score, it is only about ten acres per person.

Coupled with land mergers and tax exploitation, it is very difficult for the people below to support themselves.

Now the social contradictions in North Korea are very sharp!

If the social conflicts in North Korea could not be resolved, it would not be easy for Ming to establish a stable rule in North Korea.

Zhu Hongyu thought deeply about how to solve the problems North Korea is facing now.

The biggest problem is actually how to solve the problem of the extreme mismatch between the population stock and the land stock.

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Zhu Hongyu wrote.

Arrangements on the immigration plan of North Korea.

After thinking about it, Zhu Hongyu wants to solve the current North Korean problem. The easiest way is to immigrate, so that the crowded population on the peninsula will not be so large.

And the most important thing in Ming Dynasty now is the land for resettling immigrants. Whether it is Liaodong, Nanyang, or even Han land, there are many places where immigrants can be resettled.

What Zhu Hongyu has to do now is to make a good arrangement plan for the immigration work.

The first is to determine the range of immigrants!

If immigration is carried out in the Han area, the priority of migration must be the extremely poor class.

The reason is very simple, because as long as they are not from the abject poor class, they really can't survive, and the Chinese seldom choose immigrants who leave their hometowns.

If the imperial court wants to immigrate, it can only force them to move, and forced removal will definitely arouse public resentment.

However, if it is immigration in North Korea, it is just the opposite.

The first to be relocated must be those landlords, gentry, and large merchants.

One is because they have money, let these people immigrate, and the court can reduce investment in immigration.

You can also use the power of these people to open up new lands.

And more importantly, as long as these people leave North Korea, they lose their long-term relationship network and come to a completely strange place where they are not familiar with.

If they wanted to survive, they had no choice but to move closer to Daming!

In this way, it is beneficial for Ming to assimilate the population of North Korea.

The second is because these people hold a lot of social wealth, knowledge and culture, and the most important right to speak.

Keeping these nobles in North Korea is not conducive to Ming's complete sinicization of North Korea.

Only by clearing out these aristocrats who have knowledge and the right to speak, can North Korea really become Ming's North Korea.

As for whether the forced relocation of immigrants will provoke public grievances?
There is no doubt about it, it definitely will, but Zhu Hongyu doesn't care too much.

Those Korean aristocrats who were really the top ones, the powerful people of the world, and so on, were basically cleaned up by the Qing Dynasty for Daming.

The remaining ones can't make any waves!
If it wasn't for Zhu Hongyu not wanting to get his hands dirty, even ordering the killing of all those North Korean dignitaries would not be a major problem.

It's just that Zhu Hongyu is not a bloodthirsty person.

As if remembering something again, Zhu Hongyu wrote.

"North Korea's immigrant population should be dominated by men, and women should stay in North Korea as much as possible..."

Zhu Hongyu's idea is to vacate cages for birds, remove North Korean men from the peninsula, and all the rest will be women.

Then he ordered the relocation of the native bachelors of Ming Dynasty to North Korea.

Then, within one or two generations at most, North Korea can really become a Han land.

In addition, there are adjustments to North Korea's land policy and plans for resource development.

From the current point of view, Zhu Hongyu's positioning of North Korea is only a resource provider.

It can provide labor, minerals, food, fish catches, medicinal materials, furs, and some primary handmade products for the big market of Ming Dynasty, and make a good place for dumping goods.

That's it!

In addition, there is Zhu Hongyu's Sinicization plan for North Korea.

The first thing is to keep up with the education. The Ming officials sent to North Korea, the first thing to do is not to govern the people, not to collect taxes, and not to persuade farmers...

It's education!

Chinese education!

After a long time, Zhu Hongyu put down the pen in his hand and stretched.

Looking at the sun that was setting gradually west outside the window, Zhu Hongyu gradually showed a look of laziness on his face.

The red sunset shines on his face through the window frame, outlining a beautiful arc for his face.

The neat beard trimmed on his jaw added a bit of toughness to his cheeks.

The man has 31 flowers, Zhu Hongyu is 27 this year, he is in the prime of life, coupled with his growing majesty and bearing, it is the time when his charm is the greatest.

Enjoying the feeling of the setting sun shining on his face, Zhu Hongyu murmured.

"I think it's time for the Eastern Expedition Fleet to do something!"

……

Chen Ze stood on the deck of his own ship, looking at the boundless sea ahead.

Under the rays of the setting sun, the entire sea turned red.

The wind and waves blew, the waves rolled, and the waves surged one by one, hitting the side of the ship, causing the ship to shake continuously in the wind and waves.

The sails are also blown by the sea breeze, providing power for the fleet to move forward!

"General, according to the chart, Tsushima Island is not far ahead."

A Ming army officer wearing a military uniform with the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder came to Chen Ze and reported to Chen Ze the current location of the fleet.

The East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Army took the route of going north to North Korea for this expedition, and then turned to Japan after resupplying in North Korea.

And Tsushima Island was the first battle of the Ming army against the Qing!
The adjutant also came to Chen Ze holding a stack of documents, and asked directly.

"General, according to the news from Jinyiwei, the Qing army has about [-] troops stationed on Tsushima Island, and most of them are the Eight Banners of the Qing army."

"And nearly half of its navy is stationed on Tsushima Island!"

"..."

Chen Ze nodded when he heard that.

"Understood, how is the combat plan of the staff group accompanying the army?"

Judging from the deployment of the Qing army's troops, it is obvious that the Qing army regarded Tsushima Island as a way out.

Not only the soldiers and horses stationed on Tsushima Island are Eight Banners soldiers from the Qing army, whose combat effectiveness and loyalty can be guaranteed.

There are still sailors left!
This clearly means that if the war against Japan does not go well, it will retreat from Kyugoku Island to Tsushima Island.

But isn't this a joke?
How could Daming give them this chance back!

The adjutant spoke.

"The plan formulated by the staff group is to annihilate the navy deployed by the Qing army on Tsushima Island first, and then attack Tsushima Island."

"After taking Tsushima Island, prepare to attack the Hizen Domain and force the Qing army's navy to fight our army!"

"Even if the Qing army's navy cannot be completely wiped out, it must be dealt a heavy blow!"

Chen Ze nodded and said.

"That's a good statement!"

"The main purpose of my Ming Dynasty's dispatch of troops this time is to destroy the navy of the Qing army, and it is enough to complete this purpose."

"According to the orders from above, we don't plan to injure Man Qing severely."

As the commander of the Daming East Sea Fleet, Chen Ze also had access to the imperial court's upper-level strategy.

He had learned about the emperor's strategy against Japan, and knew that in Ming's current strategy against Japan, Manchu Qing had its existence value.

Don't think that now Da Ming is going to give Man Qing a good look, but he is just going to teach his own dog a lesson.

If the dog is disobedient, it will naturally be whipped and punished!
As long as the dog is still useful, the owner will not really beat him to death.

If Manchuria is really untenable in Japan, it will perish.

At that time, Daming might just find an excuse, and end up hitting Japan with a stick to make up for it.

"There are no permanent friends or enemies between countries, only permanent interests!"

Chen Ze deeply agreed with the emperor's words.

"Be ready to fight anytime!"

Chen Ze gave an order.

Now the Daming East China Sea Fleet is not far away from Tsushima Island, and the battle may break out at any time.

……

The vast expanse of the sea!

A patrol ship of the Qing army is on patrol.

The sun was setting and the sky was already dark. The torches lit on the deck of the patrol boat provided not-so-bright lights.

A few Qing soldiers stood on the deck, looking at the dark sea around them, guarding against possible enemy attacks!

A sea away from them was North Korea, which already belonged to the Ming Dynasty. For safety reasons, the Qing army arranged a large number of patrol ships in the Tsushima Strait.

If the enemy is found, they must warn at any time!
As a low-level samurai, Morishita felt very ashamed about joining the Qing army.

However, who told his master's family to be defeated and not be able to provide him with a salary?
Faith is faith, and eating is eating.

As a samurai, Morishita had no other means of making a living except killing people.

If he didn't choose to join Manqing, his family might really starve to death!
Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

After he was defeated by Zongyi's family, he became a prisoner of the Qing army. If he did not choose to surrender to the Qing army, he would be killed, which was one of the reasons why Morishita surrendered.

However, Morishita said that although he is from the Qing Dynasty now, his heart is Japanese.

Surrendering to the Qing bandits means surrendering to the Qing bandits, but he can only paddle in his usual work.

He will never really die for the Qing invaders with all his heart and soul!

Just like today, when it was his turn to go out to serve as a patrol mission, Morishita was paddling.

Standing at the bow of the boat, he seemed to be watching the surroundings very seriously.

But it is only serious. If someone can stand in front of him, they will find that Morishita's eyes are full of sleepiness, and he is still yawning from time to time.

If it weren't for the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army staring at him in the cabin, he might not even bother to pretend!
While yawning, Morishita was thinking that he must eat one more bowl of rice today than yesterday, so that he could make a lot of money, and strive to defeat the Qing invaders one day.

I just don't know, I ate steamed cakes yesterday, what will I eat today?

At the same time, in the cabin, those Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army also gathered together to drink and eat meat.

If it wasn't for the fact that the patrol boats were smaller and it was not easy to hide people, otherwise, these Eight Banners soldiers would definitely not mind bringing women on board.

I can only say that I understand the military discipline of the Qing Dynasty!

With the background of the Qing army in the past, it is undoubtedly a dream to hope that the current Qing army can strictly enforce military discipline.

Zhao Gou'er put his arms around Mengtuo's neck next to him, and the two of them hugged each other after drinking, looking full of passion.

In the past, a Manchu like Mengtuo might not have been able to look up to Zhao Gou'er who was born as a Han.

But now it is different. In the big blind date in Shengjing City, Zhao Gou'er married Montt's sister and became his brother-in-law.

There is a real relationship between the two of them.

When drinking together, naturally you don't care about each other's nationality!

The same is true for the few people on the side, drinking, eating meat, talking and laughing loudly, and they don't care about the task of patrolling at all.

A young man who looked a little tender couldn't help asking.

"We were ordered to patrol the sea, so drinking like this is not afraid of accidents, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gou'er, who was obviously an old man, waved his hands and said.

"What are you afraid of, isn't there someone watching outside?"

"If something happens, someone will come and report it to us."

After autumn, the weather is getting colder every day, Zhao Gouer will not be so stupid as to go to the deck of the ship to suffer.

Isn't he good for drinking and warming up?

Now he is also a member of the noble Eight Banners soldiers!
Those dirty and tiring work, just leave it to Bao Yi to do it.

There is no doubt that Zhao Gou'er's coats are those Japanese who surrendered to the Manchu Qing outside the cabin, as well as some Korean servants.

The Manchurian population of the Qing court was already sparse, and a series of disastrous defeats in the Central Plains made the already sparse population even more rare.

As a result, the Han and Mongols are now used by the Manchus as confidantes.

Under such circumstances, in order to ensure the stability within the ruling group, the Manchu Qing could only make the classes within the ruling group more distinct.

Then, use the distinct class to provide the lower class with an upward momentum and more important centripetal force.

In this way, the people below will choose to support the rule of the Qing Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts!
In fact, this tactic was not widely used by the Manchus. Historically, those ethnic minorities who occupied the Central Plains with their small dominance basically used this tactic well.

This is the case with the fourth-class system of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty!

Therefore, on such a small patrol boat, there are distinct classes.

The Eight Banners soldiers can drink and eat meat in the cabin, and warm themselves by the fire.

The servants could only be on duty outside, blowing the clammy sea breeze.

It is also possible for the servant army to become a member of the Eight Banners if they want to upgrade their class.

Go to the battlefield and fight for the Qing Dynasty!

As long as you have military exploits and can make contributions to the Qing Dynasty, you can be raised the flag.

This is the ruling wisdom of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Gou'er hiccupped, and there was an obvious blush on his cheeks, which was the mark left after being drunk.

Staggering up from the seat, he said.

"Is there... anyone going to release the water with me?"

Seeing this, Montret also stood up and said.

"Come along!"

Compared with Zhao Gou'er, who was dizzy from drinking, Montgomery wasn't on top yet, but it was true that his feet were a little unsteady.

The two supported each other and came to the deck, facing the sea.

Zhao Gouer unbuttoned his belt, took out his little brother, and prepared to open the gate to release the water.

Montmot on the side did the same thing.

The next moment, two obviously yellowish water columns fell into the sea, and the sound of splashing sounded instantly.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the surrounding servants acted as if they hadn't seen it, and continued to do their tasks, monitoring everything around them.

After Zhao Gou'er finished draining the water, he shook his little brother, and his body shook a bit, which was the end.

But just when he finished draining the water and raised his head to go back to the cabin, he saw a dense patch of bright spots suddenly appearing on the pitch-black sea.

"Xing...Xing Xing, why did you run to the surface of the sea..."

Zhao Gou'er got alcohol on his head, looked at the bright spots in front of him, stretched out his finger, and asked with his tongue out.

When Mengtuo heard this, he also raised his head and looked in the direction of Zhao Gou'er's finger.

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat emerged from his back...

……

ps: Unknowingly, there are 200 million words.
