big dry son-in-law

Although the launching ceremony is simple, it is very grand.

As the ship gradually started to move, Qin Mo couldn't help but clap along.

"Okay, great."

Qin Mo looked at Fuxi No. 1 and felt his blood boiling. In his lifetime, he might be able to see six or seven aircraft carrier formations galloping across the sea.

Dou Sun said: "Your Majesty, with the launch of Fuxi No. 1, Ming Dynasty's control over the sea has once again reached a new level."

Qin Mo nodded, "With an aircraft carrier formation, it can greatly deter remote areas."

Qin Mo knew very well that even though the Ming Dynasty was popular on the surface, it was still very barbaric in remote areas with vast land and sparsely populated areas.

Even in the land of the Central Plains, which has been civilized for a thousand or two thousand years, the folk customs in remote places are still strong.

Not to mention those newly developed areas.

Therefore, if we want to completely control these remote areas, technological development is the first priority.

Then there is heavy military garrison.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty's existing army is not enough. Qin Mo believes that the total military strength must be around four million to fully meet the needs of the country.

And more than two million is still too little.

Qin Mo suppressed the idea of ​​expanding his army.

Some people may say that it is not contradictory to reduce the military strength at the beginning and now expand the military strength?

In fact, it is very simple. The original reduction of troops was based on two considerations: to eliminate the bad and retain the best, and to eliminate those who were dawdling in the team, leaving only the best among the best.

It seems that the military strength has decreased, but in fact the combat effectiveness has increased.

Today, more than ten years later, all the armies of the Ming Dynasty have completed the transformation. Expanding the army on this basis will only further increase its strength.

Moreover, with the iteration of weapons, more knowledgeable young people are needed to operate them.

Moreover, a large number of veterans retire from the army and change careers every year.

Maintaining four million troops means recruiting hundreds of thousands of troops every year.

The most important thing is that the population of Ming Dynasty has skyrocketed compared to more than ten years ago.

The current population of the country is close to 300 million. Do you dare to imagine?
Based on this base, the population will reach 400 million to 500 million in less than 20 years.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's territory is so large that even though there are no people living in some desolate places, troops must be sent to guard them.

After withdrawing his thoughts and looking at the Fuxi that was gradually receding, Qin Mo said: "Only one aircraft carrier in the Bohai base is still too few, at least three are needed.

On the Central Plains side, at least five to six aircraft carriers are needed.

Nationwide, there are about fifteen ships. "

If calculated based on four million troops, the annual military expenditure is an astronomical figure.

But Qin Mo doesn't care, because in the next hundred years, the population will grow rapidly, and the demographic dividend will promote the country's development.

He doesn't care what happens a hundred years from now.

Maybe by then, the Ming Dynasty would have immigrated to the universe and wouldn't care about this anymore.

After inspecting the Bohai base, Qin Mo saw the introduction that he had fished in the Bohai Sea. "Is there anyone still fishing for Kun in the Bohai Sea?" Qin Mo asked.

"There are very few now. At that time, the country had little food and could only find food from the ocean. However, although these sea fish were nutritious, they could not be used as staple food. Now that the country is rich and strong, and the food is harvested every year, they only use sea fish as food on the table. It's just a seasoned dish," Dou Sun said.

Qin Mo nodded. In fact, it is difficult to maintain simply eating fish, and people need oil and water. If there is no oil and water, eating fish alone will cause trouble.

The fish killing factory back then was also there, and there were many salt farms here. Qin Mo could only find a way to add a lot of oil and water to the cans, including fish oil, vegetable oil and lard, which fed too many people.

They all said that Lingnan was Qin Mo's base camp, but what they didn't know was that the Bohai Sea side was the real base camp.

He saved at least one million people back then, and the people here were unimaginably loyal to him.

Many people have passed away, but those who survived passed it down by word of mouth, and their gratitude to Qin Mo is deep in their hearts.

"It was a really difficult time." Qin Mo looked at the introduction with relish, "Back then, we fished here, and then we went to Gaoli, Wanji, Huangluo, and finally captured Wozhou.

The people of Bohai were actually the first group of people to become wealthy. "

"Yes, they say that the two capitals and Lingnan are rich. In fact, the real wealth is here in Bohai. The Bohai County you presided over the construction of back then has now become Bohai Prefecture, with a population of more than three million. It has become the place here. The best developed state capital," Dou Sun said.

There are also some people from other ethnic groups here who have escaped from their poverty-stricken days by relying on the Bohai Circle.

For example, after Mohe, Khitan and other countries took the initiative to join, they have now intermarried with people of all ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty, and people from some remote places have also moved outside.

There are many ethnic villages in Bohai, and their lives are really not that good.

Qin Mo nodded with satisfaction. At least the villages he saw along the way were very nice and rarely dilapidated. Most of them were elderly people who were reluctant to part with their houses.

“Wozhou, Gaoli, and some places in the past are all very remote, so patrols need to be more diligent, and sea rescues must be in place.

These places are actually very dependent on them, and they cannot develop by themselves.

For example, in these places, some troops should be stationed along the way, more ports should be built, and caravans should be encouraged to do business there. "

Dou Sun nodded. There were many small tribes in the north of Wozhou. They could not grow food there and it was very cold. Now they are mainly developed into tourist destinations.

Afterwards, Qin Mo left the Bohai base and started patrolling the Northland.

This is probably his last inspection here, because next, he will focus on the unity of the world.

Lao Qin is already over ninety years old. Although his body is strong, it is not as good as before.

He must have the world be united while Lao Qin is still alive. Although Lao Qin never said it, Qin Mo knew that he longed for it in his heart.

The three emperors ruled the world and made the world unified, creating unprecedented achievements in history.

Although Qin Mo didn't care about these false reputations, in order to make Lao Qin happy, he had to work hard in the end.

He hoped that Lao Qin would be gone and leave happily.

At this time, Liu Rujian and Dou Yiai had arrived in Silla Prefecture, and now Silla Prefecture has been divided into four new state capitals.

After other state kings resigned one after another, Li Jiange also resigned. However, although he is not the state king now, he is still the governor. After the division of the state capital, there is still a lot of work that needs to be clarified and handed over.

For Li Jiange, he didn't care whether he was the state king or not.

The tide is rolling, and as a disciple of Qin Mo, he can see it more clearly than anyone else.

The common people have risen, and kings with different surnames will be liquidated in the future. It is better to resign and be happy as an idler! (End of chapter)
