Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 415 Forming the Air Force
"That won't work." Chongzhen said, "If the father directly gives Jin Xuan an imperial edict, it will be an infringement of the cabinet's powers, and the officials in the court must not make trouble? Right now they are just scolding the father, but if the father In the matter of taking over the cabinet under the decree, they are afraid that they will admonish the Imperial College with blood, and splash the blood of our father and son."

Doing so would directly intensify the conflict between the two parties.

If you really want to take this step, it will mean the complete split of the imperial party.

From then on, the entire civil official group had to stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Although Chongzhen is not afraid of this, but if it is possible to break up or not to break up.

After all, the main conflict now is the struggle with Jiannu to destroy the country, and the conflict between the emperor and the civil official group is an internal contradiction and a secondary contradiction.

Besides, the method of directly arresting people is too low-level.

As a high-end player, Chongzhen disdained to do so.

"Father, is this the way to go?" Zhu Cijiong said angrily.

Chongzhen said: "Let's forget it like this, it's definitely impossible to just let it go like this."

Zhu Cihong's heart moved and asked: "So, Father has an idea?"

"Of course." Chongzhen said with a sneer, "Father is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he controls the resources of the entire Ming Dynasty. Isn't it right to deal with a small group of illegal profiteers?"

"Look how they got in there,"

"When the time comes, Father will let them spit it out."

After saying this, he said again: "Moreover, he spit out all the capital and interest."

Zhu Cijiong said with a smile: "The minister there can rest assured, otherwise it would be too cheap for these profiteers."

Chongzhen smiled and said again: "Okay, now each department reports on its work separately, and the Gewu department does not need to report again. I have already seen the steam engine in the morning. Which one of the other departments will come first?"

"My lord." Zheng Sen stood up and said, "Our flight department will come first."

"Okay." Chongzhen said happily, "Just talk to me carefully, how far can the flying car made by your flight department fly? And can it carry multiple loads?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Speed ​​1 can carry a load of about 1000 kilograms, of which the total weight of personnel, kerosene, propeller device and hanging basket is about 800 kilograms, and the flight distance can reach up to 100 miles." Zheng Sen looked proud Said, "If you carry 20 grenades, you can only fly 50 miles."

"It's not bad." Chongzhen said with a smile, "But I think it can be improved."

"It must be improved." Zheng Sen nodded heavily, "Speed ​​1 is still small, I plan to make a bigger one, ten times bigger than Speed ​​1, so that it can fly farther and carry more grenades .”

Chongzhen hurriedly asked: "How big is Speed ​​1 now? What is the length and diameter?"

Zheng Sen has seen the schematic diagrams drawn by Chongzhen, and is familiar with concepts such as length, width, height, and diameter.

Immediately Zheng Sen replied: "Speed ​​Car No. 1 is 10 feet in length and 4 feet in diameter, and the total height is 5 feet including the hanging basket. The enlarged Speed ​​No. 2 is 20 feet in length and 6 feet in diameter!"

"Zheng Damu, can you calm down for me?" Ma Mingpao couldn't help it.

"How much money did you spend on Speed ​​1? Wouldn't it cost several times to get another Speed ​​2?"

"No matter how big our family and business are, our Ministry of Internal Affairs can't stand up to your tricks. If we insist on building Speed ​​2, we can go to your father and ask for money. Duke Min's root hair is worth 100 million taels. "

"Master Ma, do you think I didn't look for it?" Zheng Sen said with a dark face, "He refused to give it."

Chongzhen asked Ma Mingpao with a smile: "Ma Qing, how much money did the flying car No. 1 cost?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, I have already spent 15 taels of silver." Ma Mingpao said painfully, "15 taels can buy 6 flintlock guns or 250 4-inch guns, and the result is this Toy."

Chongzhen was also speechless when he heard the words, thinking that the cost of this thing is really not cheap.

If 100 airships are used to form an air force, wouldn't it cost 1500 million taels?

Zheng Sen quickly explained: "My lord, it's actually not that expensive. Speed ​​1 is because I haven't tried it before, so I made a lot of mistakes and wasted a lot of materials. It's not that expensive to build another one."

Chongzhen asked: "How much money would it cost to build a flying car of the same size?"

Zheng Sen replied: "If you build a car of the same size, 2 taels of silver will be enough."

"2 taels?" Chongzhen said with a smile, "Then you waste a lot on Speed ​​1."

Zheng Sen scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, this has never been done before."

After pondering for a while, Chongzhen said: "Otherwise, don't make Speed ​​2, you can manufacture 1 speeds according to the size of Speed ​​25, and then formally form an air force."

Zheng Sen said excitedly: "If 25 flying cars are made, the price can be even lower."

"Well, in short, build 25 vehicles first." Chongzhen nodded and said, "Then recruit scholars from the Imperial College students and start training formation flying. It is best to compile a set of training materials."

"Yes." Zheng Sen clenched his fists and said, "I will come to recruit scholars tomorrow morning."

25 flying cars can carry about 500 grenades, which makes a little sense.

In this way, Zheng Sen's air force and Zhang Jimeng's cannon will become the two secret weapons of the Ming army.

If Jiannu knew about it in advance and prepared well, Zheng Sen's air force and Zhang Jimeng's cannon would not pose much of a threat, but without Jiannu's knowledge, he suddenly used these two The secret weapon, that is definitely the deadliest damage to Jianu.

It's a pity that these two secret weapons have miraculous effects for the first time.

If you use Jian Slave for the second time, you will definitely be on guard, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, these two secret weapons cannot be used lightly, and must be reserved for the decisive battle.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen asked Zhang Jimeng directly: "Zhang Jimeng, is the god artillery finished?"

"My lord, the construction is finished, but the result is not satisfactory." Zhang Jimeng stood up and said with some shame, "I tried no less than a hundred times, but I couldn't hit the designated area."

"How much difference?" Chongzhen asked, "Twenty feet?"

Zhang Jimeng said: "Not only twenty feet, but fifty feet."

Chongzhen was speechless for a moment, and the fact that the probability deviation is true makes people speechless.

With a range of two to 3000 meters, the circular probability deviation can exceed 100 meters. Isn't this Brownian motion?In another world, only Ah San's missiles can compare.

……

Back to Jiannu.

With the battle of Qingshun, Dorgon also accomplished a major event.

It is in the Horqin, Chahar, and Tumed Mongolian tribes that the alliance flag system was enforced, and the nomadic land boundaries of each tribe were delineated. From then on, each tribe can only graze within the designated area. Cross-regional nomads, otherwise they will be severely punished by the Qing court.

Then the population of each tribe was compiled and compiled.

Through this set of measures, the Qing government's control over the Mongolian tribes has been unprecedentedly strengthened.

This move also means that the Qing court has realized the real rule over the tribes of Inner Mongolia.

In the era of Nurhachi, it was only an alliance with Horqin Mongolia, and Huang Taiji was only the nominal co-lord of Mongolia, but when he came to Dorgon, he realized the actual rule of the tribes of Inner Mongolia.

Of course, this is also because Huang Taiji has laid a solid foundation.

Otherwise, Dorgon would never be able to achieve this goal by himself.

The biggest benefit of this move is that it greatly strengthened the military power of the Qing court.

The university scholar Ganglin who is in charge of handling this matter is stating to Dorgon at this moment: "Master, the demarcation of the pastoral areas of Horqin Mongolia, Chahar Mongolia and Tumed Mongolia has been completed, and the registration of the herdsmen of each tribe has also been completed. It has been completed, with more than 12 strong men and more than [-] mouths."

"Okay." Dorgon said happily, "Have all the generals been dispatched?"

"Yes, they have already been dispatched." Gang Lin said, "When there is another war in the Qing Dynasty, I can issue a call-up order to all Mongolian ministries through the general's mansion. Except for the troops left behind, I can call up a maximum of [-] Mongolian cavalry!"

Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, I, and Fan Wencheng were all very excited when they heard this. The cavalry force of the Qing Dynasty has been doubled. After the flag system, the number of Mongolian cavalry that can be recruited has increased to [-]!
Dorgon sighed softly and said: "The number of Mongolian cavalry that can be recruited has increased greatly. This is certainly a good thing, but there are also disadvantages. In the future, if we want to recruit Mongolian cavalry to fight for our Qing Dynasty, we will need the Qing court." Provide food and salaries for them, and the pressure on the Qing court will increase."

"What the master said is very true." Gang Lin sighed, "Let's not talk about anything else, but the grain and grass used to relieve the tribes of Tumed Mongolia this year is an astronomical figure. The slave has estimated that at least one hundred thousand shi of grain and grass will be needed. 50 bales of fodder, otherwise the herdsmen or cattle and sheep will starve to death in large areas."

Dorgon then asked: "How much autumn grain has been harvested in Gyeonggi?"

Gang Lin said: "Not counting the public treasuries of the banners, the autumn grain belonging to the state treasury is about 100 million shi and 500 million bales of fodder."

"Why are there only these?" Dorgon's face darkened in an instant, and he said, "According to Nanming's Fish Scale Atlas, there are more than 4000 million mu of cultivated land near the capital, and even if one stone is harvested per mu, there should be more than 4000 million stone!"

Ganglin smiled wryly: "Master, that's not how the accounts are calculated. Although there are more than 4000 million mu of arable land in Gyeonggi, there are only 50 coats for farming, and 50 coats can't grow as much as 4000 million mu. The actual cultivation It’s only 2000 million mu, and the yield per mu is far less than a stone, only about four buckets.”

Jiannu adopted extensive farming, and the yield per mu was very low.

"The harvest per mu is still only four buckets?" Dorgon looked embarrassed.

What is this food enough for?A big battle is over.

Therefore, Daqing's family background is still weak, and it is incomparable with Nanming.

Gang Lin said: "Master, including Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, we should be able to make up 200 million shi."
