"Your Majesty, the court formed a navy to protect the interests of Caomin and others in Nanyang. Caomin and others are grateful. What compensation do they need? Caomin is also willing to donate the big ships from merchant ships." Liu Bingzhong was not far behind.
The rest of the maritime merchants all saw what Zhu Youjian meant, and they all expressed their support for Ming to form the South China Sea Fleet.
"Well, since you are committed to your country, I can't stop you from being sincere. Your kindness, I will accept it on behalf of the court." Zhu Youzhen was secretly pleased that the businessman puts his interests first, he gave these first. The businessmen drew a big pie: "The future South China Sea Fleet will not only protect your interests in Nanyang, but also open up the Xiyi market farther for you, where the profit of commodities is several times that of Nanyang."
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Li Yusheng is a businessman in Guangzhou who knows the profit of shipping best.
Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly: "You have no joking, how can I lie to you?"
Wang Kui saluted Zhu Youjian with a fist: "Your Majesty has formed a fleet to protect our interests. In addition to donating merchant ships, Caomin will also donate one hundred thousand silver to express Caomin's expectations for the South China Sea Fleet and his support for his Majesty."
"Caomin donated 150,000." Liu Bingzhong was unwilling to resign.
"Caomin donated 200,000 yuan." In front of Zhu Youjian, Li Yusheng lags behind.
Hangzhou Maritime Merchant Wang Qi has not spoken, and as soon as he speaks, he speaks astonishingly: "Caomin donated 300,000 yuan."
"Dear proprietors, the court wants to form the South China Sea Fleet. It is rare to receive your strong support, but your donation of so much silver will have any impact on your daily business--I also know that doing business overseas, but you must A lot of capital." Zhu Youjian originally only wanted some large merchant ships to temporarily train soldiers, but he did not expect to have unexpected gains.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Caomin and others also have business capital. Besides, once the South China Sea Fleet is stationed in Nanyang, Caomin's business will be easier to do and profits will increase." This is to increase the personal friendship with the emperor. It is impossible to buy it for much money, and maritime merchants will not bear these public relations fees. Besides, if they have been exported, how can they recover it before the emperor
"Haha," Zhu Youjian is really Long Yan Dayue. Although he is not short of money now, he needs to spend a lot of money. The navy has just begun to be formed and it is a bottomless pit when it comes to spending money. He no longer refuses: "Since the proprietors I would like to thank you for all of you who can contribute to the building of the Daming navy. But I will not treat those who support the imperial court. In the future, the Daming Navy will need to transport personnel, cargo and equipment, and I will give priority to your caravan."
In the end, these more than ten maritime merchants donated a total of 1.3 million taels of silver, 15 large-scale ships, and 38 small and medium-sized ships.
After sending off the Hai Merchant, Zhu Youjian stretched his waist for a long time. Today, he overfulfilled the task. He was also very excited. It turned out that the emperor's authority could still be used in this way.
As soon as Zhu Youjian returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Li Chunye caught up.
Li Chunye received the military report sent by Sun Chuanting from Liaodong, his jaw almost hung to his chest. In the battle of Qiantun, the death ratio of Ming and Jiannu was 1:106, which no one can believe. result.
Did the fight for slavery decline? impossible.
Or was it the meeting gift that Jian Slave gave Zhu Youjian after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne? Less likely.
Li Chunye could only think of one result, and that was the increase in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
Is this newly formed First Army, as Zhu Youjian expected, its combat effectiveness has far surpassed the establishment of slaves? Can even fight against Jiannu in the wild
Li Chunye was not sure that he brought Sun Chuanting's military newspaper to see Zhu Youjian in person.
"Your Majesty, luck in Liaodong!"
"Oh," Zhu Youjian didn't take the military newspaper, but looked at Li Chunye: "This is how Yuan Chonghuan can make a fortune just after he arrives in Shanhaiguan?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what Sun's military newspaper said." The military newspaper was delivered by a postman, so the above information is more detailed.
"Then Hou Zhi talked about it, what the military newspaper said."
Li Chunye dictated the contents of the General Daily. In order to prevent the important information from being missed, he almost recited the General Daily to Zhu Youjian for hearing.
"It was shooting Jiannu who was besieging the village before, Yuan Chonghuan did not venture into it." Zhu Youjian's frowning brows gradually relaxed.
"Your Majesty..." Li Chunye supported him.
"Is there anything wrong with Hou Zhi?"
"Your Majesty, such a result is too difficult for the court to believe." Li Chunye tactfully expressed his doubts.
"Hou Zhi think about it, the military newspaper is all due to Yuan Chonghuan."
"Your Majesty said that even if Yuan Chonghuan wanted to lie about his military merits, Sun Chuanting would definitely not issue a false military report to the court?" Li Chunye felt that he lacked calmness. A few dozen-year-olds are not as good as teenage Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian nodded, "Furthermore, the military newspaper said that Yuan Chonghuan was the Jianu who shot Jianu when he was guarding Qiantun. If Yuan Chonghuan wanted to take credit, he would definitely praise his credit greatly-shooting Jianu in the field. This is the most ardent expectation of the court."
Li Chunye remembered that Zhu Youjian in Shandong and Shaanxi had also created unimaginable results. Yuan Chonghuan has become Zhu Youjian’s direct line. He obtained the true biography of Zhu Youjian. What kind of results he created is normal. No wonder Zhu. Yu Jian is so calm!
Zhu Youjian cannot use the constant theory. Yuan Chonghuan now cannot use the constant theory. I don't know how many Yuan Chonghuan will appear in the future. Could it be that Zhu Youjian's vision of Daming's future began to come true so soon
"Your Majesty, are we going to counterattack and build slaves and recover the lost land in Liaodong? The ministers should also prepare materials, banks and related personnel."
"The victory of a small-scale battle does not mean that we have the ability to counterattack," Zhu Youjian still shook his head: "Besides, Yuan Chonghuan used the cover of the city wall to shoot so many Jian slaves - if it were in the wild. Encounter, can Yuan Chonghuan withstand the impact of the slave cavalry?"
In the face of such a victory, Zhu Youjian did not forget his form. Li Chunye felt that after having been with Zhu Youjian for so long, he still did not understand Zhu Youjian, or that he was far inferior to Zhu Youjian, "Your Majesty, then this military newspaper. , What should I do?"
Zhu Youjian did not think about it. He had already thought about it a long time ago: "The military newspaper, in the imperial court, widely promoted in the capital; when the first class of slave building is transported to the capital, the Ministry of War immediately organizes a manual inspection, the verification is true, and immediately honors each head The promise of thirty-two patterns of silver will also be issued along with the casualty and soldier's pension."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chunye bowed and was about to walk away.
"Wait, Hou Qiao." Zhu Youjian stopped Li Chunye: "At the same time, tell them that this is the last batch. In the future, no matter how many heads of slavery are brought, I will not cash it out according to thirty-two silvers. Up."
"Why? Your Majesty, will this chill the soldiers' hearts?" Li Chunye was puzzled. The Liaodong had just improved a bit, and Zhu Youjian was about to cancel this measure that would most stimulate the soldiers to assassinate the slaves.
"Hou Zhi, tell me, why did the imperial court know about this measure in the past?"
"Because Jiannu's riding and shooting skills are too powerful, it is too difficult to kill Jiannu."
"Hou Zhi is right." Zhu Youjian sipped mouthful of tea, "but now the soldiers kill Jiannu not by hand-to-hand combat, but by flintlock."
"Your Majesty, the minister understands." Li Chunye slowly nodded. Now that the soldier has a flintlock in his hand, it is much easier to kill Jiannu. If you pay the first level of thirty-two silver for each Jiannu, the court will also pay. Sorry.
"No, Hou Zhi, you don't understand what I mean." Zhu Youjian ignored Li Chunye's surprised old face, "What I mean is that the court provides soldiers with the best equipment, pays soldiers, and receives compensation for casualties. Soldiers are obliged to fight for the country--that is, it is the soldiers' responsibility to kill Jian slaves and restore Liaodong. There is no need for the court to pay more. Of course, military merits can also be appropriately rewarded."
"Your Majesty..." Li Chunye was confused by Zhu Youjian's words.
"Hou Zhi still thinks that this will hurt the enthusiasm of the frontline officers and soldiers? In fact, the court has provided them with better equipment. With better equipment, their lives will be more secure-what is more important than life?"
"Your Majesty, the minister understands a bit." Li Chunye blinked, "The court fulfills the duties of the court and provides soldiers with the best equipment. Soldiers should also do their responsibilities to kill more slaves for the court."
"Basically this is the case. The imperial court must pay for its military pay. In fact, good equipment is also part of the army's pay. The imperial court's responsibilities cannot be expanded indefinitely. Otherwise, the imperial court will not be able to pay the soldier's pay even if it has more money. This is what really hurts the enthusiasm of the soldiers."
"Your Majesty, the minister understands." Li Chunye thought for a long time before he came out.
"Of course, since there is a war, there will be winners and losers. You will be punished if you lose a battle, and you will be rewarded if you win a battle-Hou Zhi. After the capital's army has been reorganized, the reward system must be changed accordingly. After Hou Zhi returns, he will immediately Organize manpower and review the reward and punishment system for military personnel."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chunye bid farewell to Zhu Youjian and left the Palace of the Qing Dynasty.
Liaodong, Ningyuan City.
Jia La Erzhen Bakshi once again threw his beloved porcelain cup on the ground: "The rice bucket, idiot, a man of cattle, you can't find it. It's a wolf. After so long, it should have fallen."
No one dared to pick up his stubborn words. In the past few days, all those who picked up his stubborn words were unlucky. They were either scolded and met with blood, or they were bloodied by a whip.
There was silence in the hall, only Bakshi was breathing heavily.
A soldier quickly stepped into the room, and the heavy footsteps broke the sound of breathing over Bakshi.
Bakshi was furious, pounding the table and cursing: "You have no brains? Didn't you see us in the discussion?"
The soldiers only promised and tried their best to be careful: "Uh really, maybe... maybe they have found their whereabouts."
"Found it?" Bakshi grabbed the collar of the soldier's leather armor: "Quickly, where are they?"
The soldier was about to be picked up by Bakshi, and he struggled and said, "I haven't found them yet, but..."
"But what?" Bakshi stared with blood-red eyes. He couldn't wait to open his mouth wide and swallow the unspeakable soldier in one bite.
"Out... outside Qiantun, a lot of blood was found."
"Qiantun? Did they visit Qiantun?" Bakshi couldn't remember whether such an order had been given.
"Yes, really." Bakshi let go of his hand, and the soldier's breathing finally became smooth.
"Huang Si, Ao, no," Bakshi couldn't believe in the Han people and couldn't let them act independently, but there were only three of them left in Niulu in Ningyuan. He planned to send the Mongols. The Mongols are more reliable than the Han. "It's still Agula. Let's go! Those who bring you must find out what happened in Qiantun."
"Yes, Jiala Erzhen." The Mongolian Niu Lu Erzhen Agoura stroked his right hand on his chest, bowed and bowed to Bakshi, and then exited the hall.
