Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

With a rooster cry, Guo Shao woke up from his sleep. There are no chickens in the court, it is the **** who learns to crow the cock.

Guo Shao opened his eyes and froze for a while, because there was a "unfamiliar" woman lying beside him, with smooth bare shoulders still outside the quilt. It took him a while before he came back to his senses. The woman was Lu Qiongxian. Last night's scenes and voices became fragments like a spent disk, pouring into his mind sporadically.

She curled up, still in her sleep. The women seemed to dislike each other, but Guo Shao felt for a moment that, although Lu Qiongxian had a bad reputation, he was still cute and pitiful when he fell asleep.

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at the window, the sky was not bright yet. However, the crow of the **** is very accurate, more accurate than the crow of a real cock.

He gently pulled the quilt, covered Lu Qiongxian's naked shoulders, and pressed the quilt under her to compact it, and got up from the wide bed.

At this moment, a lazy voice said: "I don't want your Majesty to dominate the world, but he is a careful and gentle person."

Guo Shao turned around and said, "I have business affairs, you will sleep again."

This lady always said something people love to listen to, and Junjun would definitely like such a person, such as the former king of Nanhan.

At this moment, she said faintly: "Just leave after sleeping. It always makes people sad... Your Majesty, will you still look for me?"

Guo Shao didn't say a word, he was least willing to make promises. He picked up a purple round-neck robe and put it on. At this time, Lu Qiongxian wore a coat and got up, and came over to comb the bun on Guo Shao's head.

She whispered: "My concubine feels that her bones are all loose when she gets up."

Guo Shao smiled and said, "I will treat you as a compliment."

He prepared, washed and ate breakfast, and drove straight to Jinxiang Palace. Going up from the inside of the Jinxiang Hall, the layout inside is very complicated...It seems that there are countless corridors, small courtyards, and houses. If ordinary people can enter here, they will definitely get lost.

However, the front halls facing the outside are grand and square halls with a very simple layout. This Jinxiang Temple alone, also called Guo Shao, feels like the government of the dynasty. It is superficial and even dull on the outside, but it is inextricably opaque at the back.

Today, Guo Shao is neither discussing politics with ministers nor in the dynasty. He first came to the study and asked people to look at the memorials and dossiers during the expedition.

When I opened the dossier, I first saw Fu Jinzhan's administrative layout combining the waste materials of the gunpowder workshop with the farm. Guo Shao saw a wave of waves in his heart when he saw the neat and neat lower letters.

Fu Jinzhan's fingers smoothing his clothes flashed in his mind, and these help him to manage carefully and seriously. Even the purple robes he wears now are sewn with one stitch and one thread of calendula. Guo Shao had no warning, and he felt unspeakable in his heart.

He exhaled and continued to look at the things on the table.

At this time, he found that a very important thing had not been done. The last time he was on the front line, he made an order to equip new bronze guns on the Jiaolong Army battleship, but he has not succeeded so far.

There are many drawings below. Guo Shao looked over it and said at the same time: "Come here, call Han Tong, Zan Jurun, and Li Xin to the east hall to see me."

"According to the purpose."

After waiting for a long time, two eunuchs at the door opened the wooden door, and the three of them strode forward and bowed one after another with their fists together: "The ministers are on orders to see you, your majesty will live without boundaries."

Guo Shao raised his robe sleeve and waved it, and said directly: "The food merchant

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) We have also obtained the shipbuilding structure, but if sea ships are not equipped with guns, how can water warfare have an advantage? Still fighting with swords on the side, it's useless to sail far. "

Guo Shao said in his heart: naval battles cannot form an absolute advantage, how to fight the East Island? Can't hit the East Island, where did the gold and silver coins cost a huge military expenditure? ! Now this rule, the cost of fighting is extremely high, and a Pingxia battle is so smooth, after returning to the rewards, once the account is settled, he has lost money to grandma's house.

Soldiers only know that they are treated well today, and now they are rich in the world. Brothers cannot be paid less than before, but they don’t know where the money comes from... Taxes are mostly collected in kind, but expenses require a lot of cash; now the essence is Consequences of the recruitment system.

Guo Shao knew from the dossier written by Jinzhan that now there were very few treasures that Neiku had looted from the courts of the southern countries. Guo Shao also knows that in the past few years, he has used troops for years, and wars have been too frequent.

He didn't care about the three-seven-one, first made a statement: "You must carry the cannon on the battleship!"

Han Tong turned his head to look at Li Xin, and Li Xin worshipped: "Your Majesty, calm down. The biggest difference between the Great Food Ship and the Central Plains ship is that the hull is narrow and long, and the sail is easy to travel on the sea; but the shipbuilding skills are really no better than the Central Plains ship. How many.

The shortcoming of the big food ship is that it is too small. The bronze gun is too heavy. According to your majesty's intention, guns should be installed on both sides. If there are only five guns on one side, it weighs 10,000 jin. The hull will almost capsize once the gun is fired.

The ministers and other craftsmen tried to do everything possible to build a wooden rail gun mount for the artillery, which was hung by iron chains. When the gun is fired, the gun body moves back along the wooden track, and the impact is buffered with iron chains. I tried to reduce the aftershock force, but found that it still didn’t work... the only way is to use a big ship! "

Guo Shao heard him talk nonsense and almost didn't blurt out: Since he wants a big ship, wouldn't he enlarge the hull? !

But he is not a shipbuilder, although he usually read a lot of files and learned a lot. But it is not a joke to intervene like a mountain. He immediately asked: "Can you make a big food ship a big ship?"

Li Datong: "In response to your majesty, the minister asked the master craftsman of the shipyard. The shipbuilder can't zoom in on it, and the constraint lies in the keel."

"Keel?" Guo Shao had heard the word.

Li Xin worshipped: "The bigger and heavier the ship, the hull must be firm, and the keel must be stronger. With the keel of a big food ship, it will fall apart when it is built.

We can also build large ships, but they are flat-bottomed boats, which are fine in rivers. They are unstable on the sea and cannot withstand heavy waves. "

Guo Shao couldn't do anything, he said he couldn't help. If it is in the structure of firearms, he can still think about|getting out a matchlock gun, but sailboats... really don't know much.

He knew that the treasure ship that Zheng He used to sail to the West in the Ming Dynasty was very large, but now it is not the Ming Dynasty, and he has nowhere to get the shipbuilding plans of the treasure ship.

"Think about your ideas again." Guo Shao waved his hand. Can’t make it harder, even if he is the emperor, he can’t tell the minister: he wants an aircraft carrier, can they satisfy the emperor?

Han Tong and others didn't get the job done, so they didn't dare to say more, and immediately said: "The minister waits for thanks and retire."

At this moment, Guo Shao suddenly thought of Lu Qiongxian. She said that she could find shipbuilding talents?

...

A barracks of the Crane Control Army was very lively. Li Chuyun, the founding father of the country, wore a commoner, and rode out to the barracks with a few entourages. Li Chuyun looked into the barracks and said, "Gong Li, shall we go in for inspection? Subordinates go down and talk."

Li Chuyun immediately waved his hand and bowed his head

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) Look at your own dress: "No need, I just look around."

He turned his head and said to an old man: "The current crane control army is not before. Now the Forbidden Army infantry belongs to the crane control army."

The old man clasped his fists and bowed, "The soldiers seem to be leading the salary."

Li Chuyun stroked his big beard and said, "People from the Ministry of War are sending out."

The old man nodded, his expression clear.

At this moment, I saw some soldiers twisting the sacks and coming out with paper in their hands. Li Chuyunce immediately said, "The military pay you receive is all in full?"

"It's enough, but it's all this..." At this time, a soldier looked at Li Chuyun's beard, and someone shouted, "Isn't this the founding father General Li!"

Li Chuyun smiled without saying a word. Everyone was busy performing the military salute: "See Gong Li."

"What are you screwing?" Li Chuyun asked.

A soldier opened the sack and said: "Salt, cloth, and this. The officials of the Ministry of Defense said it was a ticket. When the grain ships from all over the country arrive in Beijing, they will go to the grain ship at the Watergate Wharf with their generals to receive the wheat with the ticket. Meter."

Li Chuyun said: "You can rest assured, the court has a letter, you can get it if you take it."

The army did not seem to be dissatisfied. The entourage asked for a ticket and showed it to Li Chuyun. Li Chuyun looked at it, and half of it was numbered, and it was also fingerprinted. The method of the Ministry of War is still safe. Soldiers have to follow their respective commanders to draw the grain when they receive their food. They also have numbered tickets, and usually there will be no mistakes.

Mainly this ticket will be redeemed soon, so everyone seems to have no need to resist. As Li Chuyun asked in the first sentence, is it enough? Just give it enough.

Li Chuyun didn't stay much, and left the barracks with his entourage.

Not long after, the old man next to him said: "The court seems to have little money."

Li Chuyun nodded and said: "The hundreds of thousands of imperial troops live on military pay. Once a war is fought, they will have to settle down and they will have to pay a reward. This is a rule for decades, and the cost is not small.

The officials have recently reorganized the soldiers in Zhubian Town, Liu Renzhan, Gao Yanjian, Zhe Defu, and Yang Ye. The total number of people in the hands of these four people is more than 100,000. Adding the original two batches of 200,000 guards, the number of guards may be 400,000 in the future.

The guards do not receive military pay, but they are not the same as the mansion soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They still need to get money, and the central treasury pays for all of their expeditions, garrisons, and training. There is no way. If the officials want the central government to control the world's soldiers and horses, first the military needs the central government to pay. "

The old man said calmly: "As long as it can be solved with money~www.readwn.com~, it is not a critical thing for the court."

Li Chuyun turned his head and glanced at him, and the two looked at each other and did not take it anymore.

Li Chuyun said: "Does Zhong Lao have any ideas?"

The old man said: "This matter is the result of strong and weak branches, and it is too radical. The soldiers are collected quickly, but the financial collection is slow, and there will be a shortage of money."

Li Chuyun said: "Officials are just like that, if you do things like thunder, you can do it drastically!"

The old man calmly said: "However, the dynasties have unified the world, and martial arts are really not treated like this." He added, "Han and Tang are fiefdoms, but it is easy to separate civil strife."

Li Chuyun pondered for a moment, "Now the officials have something to say again. Those people don't have a backache while standing and talking. If the court neither gives the fief or money, how can we lead the soldiers to make the brothers go up and go desperately?"
