Chapter 997 The Spring of the Han People

"By my lord, all the memorials hereafter will be submitted to the reading office of the military plane first, hereby!"

After the decree was made known to the world, the Military Aircraft Department transformed itself and became the central authority over the cabinet.

There were four Ministers of Military Aircraft in the first session, namely: Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, Zhou Quan and Jiang Sheng.

Three Han and one full, the symbolic meaning is extremely strong.

The smart people in the court had already smelled something unusual, and they were secretly delighted.

The spring when the Han people take power may come in the near future.

The governor of Zhili was originally stationed in Baoding.

From Baoding to the capital, it is nearly [-] miles away, and the only way is by land.

According to Yuzhu's meaning, the governor of Zhili will definitely be promoted to the governor of Zhili in the future and will be stationed in Tianjin.

Why?

The Dagu Port Wharf in Tianjin was already the largest foreign trade port in the Qing Dynasty, and its strategic and economic significance are extraordinarily extraordinary.

In addition to agriculture, what else is there in Baoding?

To paraphrase modern discourse, the united front value of Dagukou in Tianjin is obviously higher than that in Baoding!
Since modern times, almost all developed cities in the world's major developed countries have been close to the sea.Even if it is not by the sea, it is by the big river that leads to the sea.

The low transportation cost of sea and river transportation determines that the economic development prospects of inland cities that are neither near the river nor the sea are extremely mediocre.

In the PK between Tianjin and Baoding, Tianjin, which took advantage of the first development of foreign trade ports, won completely!

However, the governor of Zhili moved to Tianjin, paving the way for the future relocation of the capital.

As a transitional plan, Yuzhu intends to imitate the Ming Dynasty and come up with the two-Beijing system.

Besides Beijing, look for Nanjing.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Jiangning to be selected as the new capital.

Jiangning, also known as Jinling, was named the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and its royal aura seemed to be soaring, but in fact it was at its lowest point.

Since ancient times, all the imperial courts that once established their capitals in Jinling, except the former Ming Dynasty, were quickly wiped out in the end!
More importantly, Jinling was too close to the east, which was not conducive to the imperial court's control of the central and western regions.

As far as Yuzhu's heart is concerned, it is just right to choose Wuchang Mansion as the southern capital.

Starting from Hubei Province, the distance to all parts of the country is similar.

Even if you go to Liaodong, you can go by boat, which is not only convenient, but also much faster than going by land.

Of course, the biggest problem for Wuchang Mansion, the capital, is the flooding in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

However, this problem is actually very easy to solve.

The main problem of flooding in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is that the Jingzhou section of the Yangtze River is low-lying, meandering, the water flow is gentle, and the embankment is higher than the city.

Once there is a flood in the upper reaches, the embankment of the Yangtze River in the Jingzhou section will burst and be flooded for thousands of miles.

In the early Qing Dynasty, more than half of the farmers in Jingzhou and Yichang were forcibly driven away due to the thorough implementation of the immigration policy of filling Sichuan from Huguang.

As a result, the current total population of Jingzhou Mansion is pitifully small.

It's easier to do things with fewer people!

As long as the imperial court decrees that all the southern part of the Jingzhou section of the Yangtze River will be turned into a flood discharge area, the problem will be solved.

Those who have seen the topography of Hubei will know that Zhijiang County, Songzi County, Shishou County and Jianli County in the south of Jingzhou Prefecture are just sandwiched between the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and Honghu Lake.

At present, most of the aborigines in these four counties have been relocated to Sichuan, where the population is sparsely populated, and it happens to be a flood discharge area.

As the saying goes, flooding the four counties and revitalizing the entire Yangtze River Basin is also true.

Later generations, even when the biggest flood peak hits, why don't they dare to open the gates to release the flood?

There is no way, that is the dereliction of duty of the local government, allowing a large number of people to move into the flood discharge area.

Think about it, in the originally planned flood discharge area, there are actually millions of people living, so how can the flood discharge be done?
In addition to this method, there is no other way to deal with the flood when the Yangtze River is angry.

In the year when the flood was most dangerous, the slogan for flood control was: Sacrifice Little Jingzhou, Defend Greater Wuhan!

Now, as long as we plan ahead and sacrifice the agricultural land in the four counties, we can achieve a flood control effect that is even more effective than the Three Gorges Dam.

Once and for all, the merits in the present age and the benefits in the future!
Since then, the entire Yangtze River Basin is no longer afraid of the great flood.

After the official opening of the Military Aircraft Department, Yuzhu became the shopkeeper again.

To be honest, Yuzhu, who has the soul of modern people, is really impatient, and spends all day reviewing various papers of the small peasant society.

In the small-scale peasant society, commerce is not important at all, and most of the affairs in various places revolve around disaster relief from floods, relief of victims of drought, or changes in the people.

For such a small matter, Yuzhu didn't bother to deal with it at all, and simply handed it over to the military ministers for discussion.

Instead of criticizing meaningless Anzhe every day, Yu Zhu would rather stay with foreign metallurgical engineers from London.

Anyway, Yuzhu has set the rules, the four military ministers vote, and whoever votes more will listen to him.

If the number of votes is 2:2, it will be submitted to Yu Zhu for adjudication.

However, the Military Aircraft Department has no right to deal with matters involving the military and must be submitted directly to Yu Zhu for adjudication.

How shrewd Zhang Tingyu was, he immediately realized that in the future court, the Eastern and Western Mansions of the Northern Song Dynasty were likely to reappear.

Hehe, Zhang Tingyu is indeed very smart. Yuzhu has long planned to separate the military from the government. The army is the army, and the government is the government.

Isn't it nonsense to ask civil servants to direct the war in detail?
From now on, all government affairs of the imperial court will be handled by the Military Aircraft Department.

As for the military field, in the future, a headquarters will definitely be established to control the country's military.

The most essential difference between a modern state and a feudal state is also the most easily overlooked difference, which is actually the ability to mobilize during wartime.

During the Opium War, Daoguang had an army of millions, but every time he fought against Britain, he fought more with less.The root problem is that the Qing Dynasty has almost no mobilization ability.

The first Opium War was over, and the representatives of the two sides were negotiating the "Sino-British Nanjing Treaty", which was humiliating and humiliating to the country. The chieftain wolf soldiers mobilized from Guangxi were still on the way to assemble.

During the First World War, the Raksha Kingdom did not want to fight, but issued a nationwide mobilization order in an attempt to intimidate Kaiser Wilhelm II.

The Kaiser was afraid of suffering a big loss, so he issued a general mobilization order without showing any weakness.

To put it bluntly, that is, in modern countries, whoever mobilizes late will suffer, and must complete mobilization first.

As a result, a war that the whole of Europe thought could not be fought was miraculously fought.

Yuzhu quietly left the capital, and with his entourage, sailed up the Luan River by sea and arrived in Luanzhou.

What's more interesting is that most of the entourage who followed Yuzhu to Luanzhou were not serious people.

Fengshui masters, fortune tellers, alchemists, fake priests who play alchemy, fake monks who play gunpowder, etc., are all crooked talents.

To be honest, that is, Yuzhu doesn't mind their low-level identities.

How could it be possible for another person in power to bring people like them to learn to find mines at public expense?
In the traditional small peasant society, the soil of god-making is deeply rooted.

Confucian disciples especially like to fabricate lies that the saint ruled the world.

In fact, if you open the history books, where are the saints?

Didn’t Confucius, who was praised so much, kill people indiscriminately to avenge his personal revenge?

Yuzhu has a very broad mind, and talented but unethical technicians are still reused.

With Yuzhu's knowledge and experience, there is no one with virtue but no talent.

In this world, talented people must have moral defects, without exception.

Li Bai is talented, but he is arrogant and forgetful.

What is virtue?
In Yuzhu's view, obeying the law is the most basic virtue!

People who don't abide by the law, no matter how well they boast their so-called personal virtues, are also sanctimonious and shameless!
Man's animal nature determines that it is an iron law to be lenient to oneself and strict with others!

The same thing happens to others, it is a traitor.

It happened to the vomit, that is, you know a ball, but he has other difficulties, so he has to sacrifice you to make the whole country.

Virtue, this thing can only be used for self-discipline, and there is no uniform standard.

Even if you quarrel with each other for [-] million years, you still can't make it clear.

On the contrary, Yuzhu doesn't care about morality at all.

Because, throughout the whole country, there must be a handful of people who are truly loyal to him.

How could every official be loyal to him?

Therefore, Yu Zhu sees it very clearly, sets up rules and systems, rewards if the errand is completed, and punishes it if it fails.

For people, there is no way to do practical things!
Before disembarking, Yuzhu personally called the entourage for a meeting.

Yuzhu told him very seriously: "Surround the foreigner's miner and write down everything he said firmly. Whoever remembers the most clearly and completely can be given official positions."

In an official-based society, these low-level crooked talents can become officials as soon as they hear that they can become officials by taking notes. Oh, hello, their emotions are immediately mobilized.

Daoist, it's a ball, an official is a superior person!
As long as you have an official uniform as a cover, it will be much more convenient to bluff and deceive in the future.

There were nearly 30 people who came with Yuzhu, and Yuzhu gave each of them 300 taels of corrosion funds, no, hospitality funds.

The foreign miner likes to drink, so he buys wine for him.

The foreign miner likes women to drink with him, so he let him choose randomly from the foreign horses that came with the boat.

Foreign miners love to take advantage of small things, so let him take advantage of them.Anyway, with the white note, you can ask Yuzhu for reimbursement.

However, the premise of being reimbursed with an IOU is that there must be something that Yuzhu is interested in in the speech records of the foreign miner.

After disembarking, the crooked talents split up and entangled the foreign miners, foreign steelmaking technicians, foreign blast furnace operators and so on.

If you don't know how to make steel, what are you afraid of?

Copy first, learn later, and then go beyond!
Yuzhu really didn't believe it, as long as he was willing to learn and work hard, wouldn't he be able to make a steelmaking blast furnace with more than ten tons?
Steelmaking is very important.

The steelmaking technology of the Raksha Kingdom is not good, and the 12-pound cannon weighs more than 4000 catties.

Britain's steelmaking technology is temporarily leading the world, and the 12-pound gun weighs more than 2000 catties.

As we all know, the lighter the artillery, the easier it is to tow and maneuver.

After throwing out all the entourage, Yu Zhu took Niu Tai to a familiar yet unfamiliar old place.

That year, the third uncle who loved Yuzhu the most, led the troops to the disaster relief site in Tangshan, and unfortunately died.

If the third uncle hadn't sacrificed, Yu Zhu's future and destiny wouldn't be so bumpy!
