Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 344 Chapter 343
Duke Humphrey started to disband Ingoland's original army at this time, but it was not an easy task. Did all the soldiers in Ingoland succumb?
The rebellion broke out from time to time in the past two days, which made Humphrey very headache.

Duke Humphrey held a new imperial meeting, but the little king was not present at the imperial meeting, and the participating ministers didn't even know where the little king was.

"There have been several riots in the city of London recently, which made His Royal Highness Neptune very unhappy. My top priority is to stabilize the situation first."

A group of people scoffed at Humphrey's lackey style, but those who could sit here were also very human.

Duke Humphrey glanced around and looked at the silent expressions of the crowd, and stopped directly talking about this matter, but started to say something else.

"His Royal Highness Neptune gave me the right to do business with Daming, and some of Daming's basic manufacturing industries will be moved to Ingoland. Aaron, I hope to put the garment factory under your name."

Humphrey's words surprised everyone, the young official named Aaron didn't understand what happened, and looked at Duke Humphrey.

"Your Excellency, my family does not have a clothing business." Aaron replied immediately.

Duke Humphrey smiled slightly and said: "I have reached an agreement with His Royal Highness the Sea King of Daming through my efforts. As long as a businessman from Daming sets up a factory in Ingoland, this factory will definitely be with a certain nobleman from Ingoland." Linked together, you can own 20.00% of the shares and annual dividends."

"Is this statement true?"

Aaron's eyes lit up, and it didn't mean giving money for free.

With Humphrey's nod, everyone understood that this was true.

You have given enough benefits to the upper echelons of Ingoland, and these people will stabilize the situation for you, but what they give is just some profits from the local factory in Ingoland. Based on the amount of compensation that Ingoland needs to pay to Daming first, then After coming down, Yinggelan was working for Daming.

Can the nobles get their money out of their pockets?

This kind of gold dollar transaction is the most straightforward and effective. Using money as the basis to increase one's friends reduces one's enemies.

Obviously, after Humphrey mentioned this plan, everyone's attitude changed immediately, and the discussion became much more heated, and everyone present was assigned a part.

After arranging the benefits, you have to arrange the business. It is impossible to take the money and not do the work.

"Everyone in the imperial meeting, Ingoland is facing a difficult time. The demon queen has made a mess of Ingoland. There is a lot of waste at the moment. We should invest in the construction of Ingoland. The king is still alive. Our Ingoland will not fall, and we will join the Western Federation, and Ingoland will have a more brilliant tomorrow." Humphrey read out his manuscript with high spirits.

"Recently there have been frequent riots, accusing Daming Haiwang as an invader. This kind of atmosphere is not good. His Highness Haiwang helped us defeat the demon queen, but the king is still there, the imperial meeting is still there, and His Highness Haiwang did not massacre civilians. We should arrest Taking this opportunity will bring Ingoland to a higher level, so I plan to start the reform of the army from now on."

When they heard about the reform of the army, everyone's expressions became serious again. Ingolan, who lost the army, was a lamb at the mercy of others.

But Ying Gelan, who now has an army, is still powerless in front of the Ming army.

"The reform of the army is not a complete abolition of the army, but a combination of reorganization and abolition. We will jointly form a Ming Royal Army stationed in Yinggelan with the Ming Royal Army."

"Joint formation?" The children who had a lot of questions asked keenly.

"Yes, the original army of Ingoland will be reorganized into the Ingoland Guard. The navy and more than half of the army will be completely abolished. The remaining troops are mainly responsible for the security of each city and will be reorganized into the Guard. The Daming Royal Army Garrison in Yinggelan under the Ming Royal Army has become the real permanent army in Ingolan, referred to as the Daming Royal Garrison in England.”

"The Imperial Royal Forces of the Ming Dynasty in the UK will select age-qualified, physically fit, and healthy-minded Yinggelan youths as reserve members every day. After a period of training, they can officially become a member of the Royal Royal Forces of the Ming Dynasty in the UK. Slowly increase the proportion of Ingolans in the Royal Ming Dynasty troops stationed in Britain every year, until in the end this team will completely become a team of Ingolans.”

It's just that Zhu Zhanqian didn't promise how many years later, and this kind of connection will eventually make Yinggelan's army completely under Daming's control because of various interests.

Boil the frogs in warm water to stabilize the current Ingolans first, and the future Ingolans will adapt to the normal state of the Ming army's rule.

Then Humphrey said: "Two days later, the Ming Royal Army will be formally established. Our king will become the Marshal of the Ming Royal Army. At the same time, the Ming Royal Army will begin to attack France."

Speaking of this, Humphrey slapped the table, glaring with grief and indignation, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice: "Damn John, the hateful Frenchman, dare to invade our place when Ingolan is in a mess by the demon queen." Land, we, Ingoland, cannot allow them to act so despicably."

"And the Prince of France is so shameless that he wants to deny the treaty signed between the King of Ingoland and the King of France, denying our king's right to inherit the French throne. He is simply rude and rude. We will follow His Royal Highness King of the Sea to fight against the King of England. Lan, and His Royal Highness Sea King promised that as long as France is conquered, the British and French empires will be established, and our king will also be the king of France, belonging to the Western Federation."

Hearing this, everyone was astonished. Ingeland had thought about the idea of ​​the British and French empires for a long time. The war had been fought for nearly a hundred years for this purpose. When the old king was there, there was a chance. Ingeland was dead. The fight became serious, and unexpectedly broke out of the Ming Empire halfway.

I thought there was no chance, but after the fall of Ingolan, the Sea King of Ming Dynasty said that he would help Ingoland establish the British and French empires, and this opportunity came again.

Humphrey said with a smile: "Sea King is an approachable person. He also said that he must rely on our Ingolan's strength to attack France this time. Of course, if it succeeds, it will be rewarded according to merit. Ladies and gentlemen, This is a great opportunity."

Immediately someone asked: "Duke Humphrey, I don't know when His Royal Highness Sea King plans to attack France. I have long been displeased with the group of people on the other side of the strait, especially the Duke of Burgundy, who is repetitive and has no principle in doing things." , I was colluding with Duke John before, and he actually came to intervene in the good wine market in Ingoland, Duke Humphrey, I will apply to be a vanguard for His Royal Highness the King of the Sea to fight the Duke of Burgundy."

This is going fast. If he hadn't had the opportunity to come to the imperial meeting before, but those who strongly resisted Ming Dynasty would be abolished or directly wiped out, so neutrals like him would have a chance to come up.

They are all meritorious deeds. Contributing to whom is not meritorious deeds. Moreover, the king is still there, and the imperial meeting is still there. Although there is an extra Ming Empire on top of his head, it can be justified in front of him. It may not be a bad thing to join the Western Federation in the future.

They all began to make plans on how to counterattack France.

At the same time, today, a large number of merchants from the Ming Dynasty traveled across the ocean and came to the land of Yinggelan. Among them, there were naturally several merchants who had been promoted to councilors, because they were summoned by Zhu Zhanqian and had to come in person.

Zhu Zhanqian unfolded the map of Ingoland, and then asked them to allocate how to develop the economy of Ingoland.

There was a new place and a large number of new customers to develop. Naturally, this group of people never tired of it and immediately put into work.

Generally speaking, after such a big war, the turmoil will last for a long time, let alone the power of foreigners, but the turmoil in Ingoland
It settled down very fast.

Because Zhu Zhanqian returned the political power to Ingeland in name, and became the person who controlled the power behind the scenes, so that Ingoland's government did not change many people in theory, and the aristocracy was not liquidated, but they could still Enjoy the privileges they are supposed to have.

And on this basis, cooperate with them on the basis of interests, let them have something to do, transform the sharply contradictory positions into cooperative positions, and turn enemies into cooperative partners.

This group of people stabilized, and it was difficult for the people below to accumulate enough strength to pose a real threat to Ming's rule.

Zhu Zhanqian sees it more clearly than they do. The court without military power is just an institution to deal with matters. He is not interested in how to rule Ingoland or how to plan the development of Ingoland. What he needs is stability and a slow pace. Slowly transform the Yinggelan people into people who recognize Ming culture from the heart.

So he will build a promotion mechanism in the army, in the college system and the government system in the future. When they continue to work hard to be promoted, they will be qualified to become Daming people, so that subtly, the ultimate goal of all the efforts of the Yinggelan people They are all linked to being Ming people, and gradually they will be proud of being a Ming people.

Even when they speak English, they are proud of adding a few Da Ming words.

Liang Shanbo and Juliet will finally shine into reality.

While carrying out military reforms, he is planning an offensive strategy against France.

With Joan's map of the cloth army in France, although it may not be all right now, the cloth army will not be changed so easily, basically it is almost the same.

Yang Feng said: "Your Highness, the northern coastal area of ​​France is basically in the hands of the Duke of Burgundy. He will definitely concentrate his strength to resist. It is better for us to concentrate on advancing."

Fan Zhong had a different opinion: "Your Highness, Captain Yang, I think we can attack on both the north and south fronts at the same time, cross the strait and lead the army from Ingoland to attack the north of France, fight against the Duke of Burgundy, and then send troops from the Mediterranean Invade France from the south, and the defense on the south of France is weak, so they can quickly invade the hinterland of France, and then attacking France from the north to the south will be the turtle in the urn."

Yang Feng also agreed with Fan Zhong's suggestion after listening to it, and the other generals were similar.

But Joan of Arc listened to the interpreter's explanation and said: "No, no, we are here to rescue France, not to massacre French civilians. It is difficult for the army to sweep north and south without hurting civilians. Your Highness, King of the Sea, please concentrate your strength and the front line to take the French as soon as possible." Go down to Paris, catch the mad king, I will try my best to help you, and please don't hurt innocent French civilians."

The existence of Joan of Arc made the soldiers of Ming Dynasty quite critical, but because of Zhu Zhanqian's face, they didn't say it directly.

Their inner thought is that we can take France without this woman.

Zhu Zhanqian glanced at Joan of Arc and said to all the generals: "I ask you a question, what kind of army do you think is the most powerful army?"

"A teacher of a hundred battles, a teacher of kings, and an invincible teacher."

"I think differently from you. I think the strongest army is one that surrenders without fighting. What do you think is the purpose of our current battle? Is it to capture Ingoland and France?"

The crowd was speechless.

"No, no, we traveled thousands of miles to come here. We are fighting this battle to finish off the wars of the next few decades and hundreds of years, so that future generations will be spared the suffering of war and persecution. Let all the people in this world see our Daming dragon flag and have to give way, so I want to fight a huge battle, a battle that lasts forever, and it will be 50 years later, eighty, if it hits other people A hundred years later, people are still terrified when they say it.”

Zhu Zhanqian's words made the soldiers raise their hearts and look at Zhu Zhanqian.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Zhanqian knew that he was not capable of fighting, so he did not participate in specific operations, and only mentioned the goals and strategies of fighting.

This time Zhu Zhanqian's words meant that he was in charge of specific matters.

"Your Highness, how do you want to fight this battle?"

Looking at the map, Zhu Zhanqian pointed to the first place on the coast of northern France and said: "This place is close to Ingoland. According to our current news, the Duke of Burgundy is hoarding heavy troops here, intending to fight against our army. If we want to fight for the whole world to see, we must hit them head-on, and here our army will land from here to face the French army head-on."

Zhu Zhanqian's plan gave many soldiers some headaches. According to military thinking, they already knew the opponent's deployment of troops, so they should start from the flanks or weak points.

Although he is also confident that he can defeat the French army, this will undoubtedly increase the loss.

In order to reassure them, Zhu Zhanyi said: "Everyone don't have to worry about proving the battle. There is news from New Shanghai City. The steam mothership will pass through the Suez Canal in a few days and will bring the latest equipment to our army."

Then he said: "Go ashore from here. I want Ming's army to fight against the city of Paris within seven days. Joan of Arc will be responsible for recruiting and surrendering. Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who join our army will be rewarded."

The place Zhu Zhanqian pointed at was named Normandy.
