Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Jianzhuo nodded when he heard this.

"In this case, it is feasible!"

"Then I will order people to inform the Shanxi merchants and ask the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty to prepare the planning and calculation of the railway line."

When Zhu Jing'an heard this, he nodded first, and then spoke up and suggested.

"Father, I proposed to set up a Railway Department in the DPRK to be responsible for the construction, maintenance, operation and other related work of the railway, so as to increase the efficiency of railway construction and operation."

In Zhu Jingyan's vision, the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences is a purely scientific research institution, and their mission is to conduct scientific research.

Carry out cutting-edge research and development, principle exploration, scientific underlying logic construction and other related projects.

Although it is not impossible to use the researchers inside as technicians when building railways, what is the difference between this and using a cannon to kill mosquitoes?
It's a waste after all.

If given a choice, Zhu Jing'an still prefers to leave professional matters to professionals.

The establishment of a railway department in North Korea and China to specifically manage railways is the first step.

Hearing this, Zhu Jianzhuo stroked his beard and said.

"Okay, I will discuss this matter with the cabinet later and ask the cabinet to come up with a charter as soon as possible."

Zhu Jing'an immediately spoke.

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

Comrade Lao Zhu may not have other advantages, but he is very obedient.

He generally would not refuse suggestions made by his son, no matter whether they were reasonable or not.

Focus on trust!
Immediately, the father and son continued to discuss the Zen position.

Zhu Jianzhuo proposed that after taking the Zen position, he wanted to return to Guangxi to retire, and Zhu Jing'an nodded to express his understanding.

Of course, even if Zhu Jianzhuo said he was returning to Guangxi to retire, it was impossible for him to actually live in Guangxi permanently. At most, he would go back to Guangxi for a while every year to relax.

There is no other reason. The Supreme Emperor does not stay in the capital, but runs around outside, which has a bad political impact.

Both father and son understand this.

The father and son talked all the way back to the imperial city.

Zhu Jing'an immediately said goodbye to Zhu Jianzhuo, and then went to the East Palace, preparing to rest for a while before talking about anything else.

Back in the East Palace, the palace maids and chambermaids had prepared bathtubs and hot water in advance.

Zhu Jing'an took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub.

As the hot water soaked into his skin, his comfortable eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, it seemed as if all the fatigue in his body was gone.

A beautiful maid wearing a thin gauze dress came forward and helped Zhu Jing'an scrub his back with gentle and gentle movements.

But Zhu Jing'an has been used to seeing big winds and waves since he time traveled, and has even been to a silver party several times. He has seen many exciting scenes, but he is completely indifferent to them.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep in the tub.

He has been really tired for this period of time. Now after returning to Beijing, he doesn't even want to touch women. He just wants to sleep quietly by himself and have a good rest.

After taking a bath, Zhu Jing'an woke up to the gentle call of the maid, wiped off the water stains on his body, returned to his bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, only seven or eight hours had passed.

The morning light appeared in the sky outside, bringing some light to the dark world, but it was not completely bright yet.

Zhu Jing'an sat up and leaned against the bed with a dazed expression.

It was obvious that he had just woken up and his brain had not yet fully turned on.

The maid on the side saw that Zhu Jing'an was awake, and quickly brought a cup of warm water to Zhu Jing'an, which was always ready.

Zhu Jing'an used to drink a glass of warm water first in the morning before doing anything else.

Zhu Jing'an took the warm water and drank it, and then he woke up.

"What time is it now?"

The maid on the side heard this, glanced at the clock in the room, and then spoke.

"Returning to Your Highness, it is now Yinshi 4, almost four o'clock."

Nowadays, Ming Dynasty clocks are very distinctive.

The dial is divided into two circles. The inner circle is divided into 24-hour format, which looks more intuitive.

The outer circle is divided into twelve hours, and the hours are also clear at a glance.

The reason for this is that the Ming Dynasty is now in the stage of parallelism between the twelve-hour clock and the twenty-four-hour clock.

In addition, people in this era are mostly accustomed to the twelve-hour clock, and the production and production of clocks must have to make concessions to people's living habits.

Zhu Jing'an nodded and then asked.

"How long have you been sleeping alone?"

The maid heard this and spoke.

"It will take about seven hours to get back to Your Highness, which is most of the day."

After saying that, the maid asked again.

"Your Highness, do you want to get up?"

Zhu Jing'an nodded, and the maid immediately turned around and went to prepare the things needed to change clothes and wash herself.

Not long after, a cup of Mingqian Longjing was delivered first.

Of course, this is not for drinking, but for gargling.

After briefly rinsing his mouth, Zhu Jing'an began to change clothes, brush his teeth and wash his face under the service of the maid.

After he finished washing, breakfast was ready.

Soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, spring rolls...

It's all very homely food.

Of course, although Zhu Jing'an's breakfast looks very homely, it is not simple to eat.

Because the raw materials of these foods are carefully selected, the skills of the royal chefs are needless to say.

Zhu Jing'an was eating breakfast while thinking about what he would do today.

Logically speaking, Zhu Jing'an had just led his army back to the court and should take a good rest.

However, every time he thought that there were so many important things waiting for him to deal with, he couldn't calm down at all.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jing'an planned to go to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion later to personally urge the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to honor the rewards for the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible...

……

Off Ryukyu, on the endless ocean, a large fleet appeared where the water and the sky met.

Looking from a distance, the white sails almost merge into the floating clouds in the sky.

After the white sails appeared, the dark hull appeared immediately.

A huge fleet of ships marched on the sea, with full sails hunting in the wind, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Gan Changsheng stood on the deck of the ship and looked into the distance, looking at the Ryukyu Island in the distance, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"After passing the order, the fleet will speed up. After docking, we will quickly gain control of the port, and then prepare for landing operations..."

When the messenger heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and conveyed Gan Changsheng's order to the fleet.

As the order was issued, the East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Navy began full preparations for war.

The gunners began to prepare for the bombardment.

The kitchen started cooking food. Naval battles have always been a slow-paced affair. With the speed of ships in this era, there must be at least half a day left between the discovery of the enemy and the official exchange of fire between the two sides.

Therefore, it is a normal thing to prepare meals before the war to fill the stomachs of the soldiers so that they will be strong enough to fight.

Because if you don’t have enough to eat, you will never have the energy to fight.

……

At the same time, from a watchtower at the port of Ryukyu Island, Yamamasa Masao also saw the huge fleet on the sea, and subconsciously shouted at the top of his voice.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The Ming Dynasty's fleet is coming!"

Yamamasa Masao shouted and sounded the warning gongs and drums on the watchtower.

As the sound of gongs and drums resounded all around, there was chaos in the port.

A ronin samurai wearing wooden clogs and carrying a samurai sword rushed out of the building on the port. Their faces were full of vigilance and panic.

Originally, the Satsuma Domain did not have many troops stationed in Ryukyu.

However, as news spread that the King of Ryukyu was attached to the Ming Dynasty, the Satsuma clan not only sent additional troops to Ryukyu in order to protect Ryukyu, but also sent a large number of samurai loyal to the Shimazu family to garrison in Ryukyu.

Sure enough, not long after the Shimazu family sent more troops to Ryukyu, the Ming army's fleet arrived.

Ichiro Muramasa, the general of the Satsuma Domain stationed in Ryukyu, was also alerted by the rapid sirens and came to the dock immediately, preparing to command the battle.

Then, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

On the vast and boundless sea, a huge fleet of ships spread out.

Ships as big as mountains just floated on the sea, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

There is a gloomy atmosphere in the air, which makes people feel extremely depressed.

Looking at the huge ships of the Ming army, and then looking at the samurai swords in their hands, these Samurai warriors felt for the first time that they were so insignificant.

Even before the war started, their morale was plummeting.

Seeing this, Muramasa Ichiro felt a thump in his heart, knowing that he could not go on like this, so he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for war!"

"Everyone is ready to fight immediately, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"The divine wind will protect us!!"

Ever since Meng Yuan conquered Japan and suffered a disastrous defeat due to a sudden divine wind, and even the entire army was wiped out, Japan has been in a state of confusion.

I began to feel that Japan was really blessed by the divine wind.

The abbreviation is on top!

However, the sudden storm played a certain role in the defeat of Mongolia that year.

But the bigger reason is that the Mongols are not good at water warfare.

Moreover, most of the ships used by the Yuan army at that time were built by Koreans, and their quality was quite low.

Then in a sudden storm, the entire army was wiped out.

The quality of the ships in this fleet can only be said to be understood.

Rather than saying that Japan is blessed by the divine wind, it is better to say that North Korea's shipbuilding craftsmen and corrupt officials are the real heroes of the anti-Yuan Dynasty.

But the warships used by the Ming army now have no such exaggerated quality defects at all.

Because most of the Ming army's current warships were built in state-owned shipyards directly under the imperial court.

Before each ship leaves the factory, it undergoes several rounds of strict quality inspections and undergoes wind and wave resistance tests.

And the list of each ship's construction craftsmen, relevant responsible officials, and inspection personnel is all recorded.

If there is a quality problem on a ship, accountability will be held from top to bottom.

Under the strict inspection and accountability system, the quality of the Ming army's ships will definitely not be bad.

At the very least, the quality of the ships must be guaranteed before the imperial government is completely corrupted.

The current Ming Dynasty is still in the early days of its founding, and its officials are relatively clean, and the quality of its ships is needless to say.

Not to mention that there is no storm at all now, even if it encounters a storm, the Ming army's fleet will be damaged at most.

It is impossible for the whole army to be completely wiped out in the storm like the Yuan army's fleet.

……

As time passed, the Ming army's fleet gradually approached the port.

The movements of Japanese Japanese soldiers in the port also caught the eye of the lookout on the battleship.

"Sir Admiral, our army's lookouts are gathering Japanese soldiers at the port, and some are preparing to board the ship. They may want to engage in a naval battle with our army."

A lookout came to Gan Changsheng to report.

On the pier of Ryukyu Port, Japanese-style anzaku ships are lined up neatly. It can be seen with the naked eye that short Japanese soldiers are boarding the ships.

In order to protect Ryukyu, the Shimazu family not only sent samurai and ashigaru, but also sent out the navy, which they regarded as treasures, to prepare for a battle with the Ming army.

You know, the current Satsuma Domain is one of the few powerful vassals in Japan that has naval power.

The navy was also the biggest trump card that the Satsuma Domain relied on to compete with the shogunate.

The Satsuma clan was full of confidence in its own naval power.

The same was true for Ichiro Muramasa, who led his army to Ryukyu this time to resist the Ming army.

But when he actually saw the Ming army's fleet, he realized that more than a hundred years had passed since the last time the Ming Dynasty and Japan fought in Korea.

The Ming Dynasty went through a reincarnation from its demise to its revival.

But the gap in navy strength between tomorrow and tomorrow has not only not decreased, but has greatly increased.

When the Ming Dynasty was in North Korea to teach the little devils a lesson, the strength of the Ming navy navy left a deep impression on the Japanese pirates.

For example, the battles of Luliang and Liangming that were highly publicized by later generations were actually fought mainly by the Ming navy fleet.

The so-called "Asia's No. 1 General" Yi Sun-shin was just a partial general under Chen Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy Navy.

Although Yi Sun-shin can indeed be called an anti-Japanese hero, calling him the number one general in Asia is nonsense.

Above Li Sunchen, there is Chen Lin, above Chen Lin, there is Li Rusong, and Li Rusong is not ranked high in the history of China.

And now, the naval strength of the newly born Ming Dynasty is far beyond that of Japan.

Not to mention their small Satsuma clan.

In terms of population and territory, the Satsuma Domain is at most equivalent to a prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, or even a county with a slightly larger population.

The two sides are not opponents on the same level at all!

Gan Changsheng looked at the sampans and boats at the port and said with a slight disdain.

"Haha, it has been hundreds of years, but the Japanese soldiers have not made any progress. The ships used by the navy are still those Anzai ships."

However, even though he said this, Gan Changsheng finally spoke and gave instructions.

"Send the order and tell our officers and men to be careful of Japanese soldiers attacking our fleet with arson ships."

In Gan Changsheng's opinion, if these small Japanese pirate ships wanted to threaten the Ming Dynasty's fleet, there was no other possibility except using the tactic of setting the ships on fire.

Although arson boat is an ancient tactic, it doesn’t matter whether the method is old or not, this thing is really useful.

If the Ming army did not investigate, it would really be possible for the Japanese pirates to use the tactic of setting fire to ships to make a lucky comeback.

Gan Changsheng's military order was issued, and the Ming fleet began to set up combat formations to prepare for possible fire ship offensives by Japanese pirates. (End of chapter)
