Chapter 100 Win another round
"Have you seen that, my dear ones, have they ever thought about the country and the country even a little bit, but they all have their own petty plans first. As long as it brings trouble, even the most important weapons of the country can be discarded like worn-out shoes.

Now you know why I have to rack my brains and use all kinds of tricks to fight with them, right?What I and you can see, Beilu and Jiannu can also see clearly. How could they not go south when they know that the imperial court is so corrupt?

Although the world is big, it can only be controlled by the strong. The weak can only lament in vain and enjoy the flames of war and a life as cheap as a dog.Everything I am doing now is all for the sake of becoming stronger. I dare not say it is for the sake of the common people in the world. At any rate, I can protect the people of my Ming Dynasty from being ravaged by war. "

The meeting adjourned again, and there were only a few eunuchs left in the side hall.Hong Tao stood at the door with his hands behind his back, watching a group of bloated lobsters gradually walk away before speaking slowly, as if talking to himself or answering questions.

"Long live the Lord's far-sightedness. It's hard for slaves and others to compare with him. I am willing to follow you as long as I live, even if I die!"

How could Chen Ju, the leader of the eunuchs, not understand such a straightforward statement and how dare he not understand it.But it was no use just understanding. He had to make his position clear immediately. Between the emperor and the courtiers, he firmly chose the former and took the lead in kneeling down to express his attitude.

Then Wang An, Zhang Ran, Zou Yi, Li Shi, Wang Guotai, including Wang Chengen who was ignorant and didn't know anything, also made the same choice one after another.No way, this seems to be a double-choice or even multiple-choice question. After adding the prefix of eunuch, there is only one option left: live, and the others are dead.

Moreover, since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has treated the eunuchs, including the maids, with real kindness.Not to mention the amount of rewards, the occasional beatings and scoldings in the past have basically disappeared, and the corpses carried out from the palaces have not been seen for a long time.

Eunuchs definitely don't understand ideas like respect and equality, but they understand a simple truth: whoever is of real benefit to them should be followed by them.

If you get mixed up with foreign officials or concubines in the harem, no matter how beautiful you are, you will still be an inferior slave. No one will really treat the eunuch as a normal person.

And following the young emperor, although he can't see a very wonderful situation yet, he can still feel a hint of a future that he never dared to hope for.For eunuchs who dare to be cruel to their little brothers, they have become accustomed to fighting to the death, so what if they win again.

"Li Shi and Wang Guotai will start looking for 500 people from the Four Guards Camp and the Warriors Camp tomorrow, and secretly send them to the Imperial Mansion in the north of the city for training on the pretext of building a garden for the Empress Dowager of the West Palace.

Remember, those who are half-hearted, greedy for enjoyment, drink and play with money, have complex backgrounds, and speak freely will be eliminated. It is better to be lacking than to be excessive.This is a military training strategy that I have personally drawn up. You two should study it carefully and be sure to follow it. "

Qi Huo and Hong Tao have been waiting for this day for more than two years, and today the wait has finally come.With the support of these powerful eunuch leaders and the conditions to manufacture firearms openly, the next steps will be easier to proceed.

The first step is manpower. The Royal Horse Supervisor is in charge of the Five Guards Army. Although they are not full of personnel, there are more than 1 in total, and most of them are strong. It should not be difficult to select one-twentieth, as long as the confidentiality work is done Well, it’s not easy to attract attention from the outside world if you make up lies.It should be possible to pick more points, but considering the confidentiality and logistical supply issues, 500 people is already a lot. As long as we can do this step well, we will not worry about running out of soldiers for a long time in the future.

To be precise, these five hundred pro-troops are not soldiers but generals, or middle- and lower-level officers.With them, they can pull up a team of tens of thousands of people at any time. As long as they have enough guns and gunpowder, they will be able to have relatively strong combat effectiveness in a few days, at least no worse than the soldiers in the Beijing camp.

This is one of the advantages of a pure firearms unit. It does not require a long period of training to achieve combat effectiveness.It is also one of Hong Tao's trump cards. At present, Ming Dynasty officials are not very clear about the power of Chengjian's thermal weapons, so they will not pay too much attention to this small-scale army.If you calculate mentally but not intentionally and know yourself and the enemy, your winning rate will be much higher.

"Chen Ju, you are in charge of the military affairs bureau and the internal official supervision. If you are not sure, quickly find a way to replace it. Zou Yi will be in charge for the time being. Zou Yi, come to me to get the drawings after the matter is completed. The required materials need to be brought from outside the palace. When purchasing, there will be craftsmen who will guide you, so just ask everyone involved to keep their mouths shut!"

Gunpowder and manpower alone are not enough; guns are also needed to strengthen the waist.At this time, the imperial camp was equipped with firearms used by the Beijing camp, frontier troops, and guards, but Hong Tao didn't pay attention to any of them.The workmanship is too rough, the materials are too crude, and the shooting effect is poor.

But this is not a big problem. Hong Tao originally had no intention of climbing up the technology tree step by step based on Ming Dynasty firearms. As long as there is stable output of steel, simple lathes and drilling machines can be produced immediately.

It would take months for a craftsman with rudimentary metalworking skills to get used to it, and drilling a suitable smoothbore and rifled barrel would have to be no problem.If it weren't for the fact that the chemical industry couldn't keep up, maybe next year or the year after that, we might be able to trial-produce metal-cased custom-loaded ammunition.

Just imagine, in front of the two armies, our own soldiers don’t have to do anything. First, they put five rounds of bullets into the gun chamber, and then they can shoot suppressively from 500 to [-] meters away. They can reload in a few breaths. When it's over, how will the opponent's soldiers feel?
In this era, what kind of cavalry can continue to charge despite a hail of bullets?It doesn't take much. Ten thousand troops equipped with bolt-action rifles, plus twenty thousand logistics troops and artillery, must be able to sweep across the plateau in the north and the mountains in the east, including the Korean Peninsula.

Don’t carry spicy cabbage on pilgrimage all day long. It will directly become the No. 14 province of the Ming Empire, and everyone will be at ease.I have already thought of the name myself, Haidong Province, which focuses on the development of mining, fishing and whaling.

By the way, it can also lay a geographical foundation for the possible future eastward crossing of the Japanese archipelago. It is too far to transport troops across the East China Sea, and it is much easier to only transport troops through the Tsushima Strait.

The North Korean issue and Japanese pirate harassment can directly destroy your hometown. If you continue to immigrate to each other on a large scale, it will take less than 20 years for a nation to disappear in the long river of history, once and for all!
"Wang Chengen, inform the Cuju team to practice extra today and gather at the North playground immediately!" As he thought about it, Hong Tao felt liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that the little eunuch had seen him, and he was suppressing a smile.

How can this not work? If you can’t let your daydreams work, then don’t blame me for being cruel.Anyway, if the emperor is hungry, there is a dessert room that provides pastries for twelve hours. Let me see if you are hungry after running a few laps and playing football for two quarters of an hour!
　This book is scheduled to be on the shelves at 25 noon on Friday the 12th. We hope you will support it!
