For the sake of Putmans spending five million silver coins to purchase various local products, a certain new emperor told him what he wanted to know and could only know.
If you spend 50 million, that's a different matter. If you want to know something, a certain new emperor can consider revealing the most critical part.
The Dutch don’t believe in evil, so let them have a taste of “saving money”!
This is called losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds. The gain outweighs the loss!
Do you want to buy anti-ship missiles alone?
Can!
A silver coin of 500,000 yuan, sold starting from 100 pieces!
Perfect?
very perfect!
In terms of product promotion methods, a certain new emperor can easily and happily be the ancestor of a Dutch businessman!
When a certain new emperor told Zheng Zhilong that the Dutch were about to die, the Duke of Ming Zhenhai thought it was a bit incredible.
I don’t blame him for thinking this way, mainly because the Dutch now occupy an advantageous position in maritime trade, especially ocean shipping, and it’s almost as if they are dominant.
More than half of the world's ocean-going merchant ships belong to the Netherlands, but this is only superficial beauty. It can be regarded as a typical "big but not strong"!
Compared with the large-scale fleet of the Netherlands, the fleet of the Dutch Navy is completely inadequate. It is almost equivalent to a maritime security force under the head office.
It's quite formal, but the scale is very different from the fleet, and it's completely out of proportion.
Assuming that there are 10,000 large merchant ships in the Netherlands, then the calculation is based on 1%.
The established establishment of the Dutch Navy must also meet the standard of one hundred battleships, but the results are jaw-dropping.
The dozens of Dutch warships that participated in the Battle of Downs were pieced together.
Perhaps the Spanish Armada was asking for trouble, and it was too easy for the Netherlands to gain maritime supremacy.
The existence of competitors has been forgotten so far, and few Dutch people feel that they may lose this position at any time.
For the Netherlands, which has almost zero domestic strategic depth, if it loses once, it may be in ruins and never have a chance to make a comeback.
The Netherlands started off by sea trade, while the UK started off by sea robbery. This is a relationship like a natural enemy.
How British warships robbed Spanish merchant ships back then would be how they robbed Dutch merchant ships in the future, and the two waterways controlled by the British were located on the routes that Dutch merchant ships returned to their homeland.
The UK is dissatisfied that the Netherlands accounts for more than half of global maritime trade, so it will be a matter of time before it takes action...
Zheng Zhilong was naturally enlightened after hearing this analysis from a certain new emperor.
A certain new emperor has mastered the magic of magic and has always made clever calculations. If he says that the Dutch are going to die, then that must be the case!
After receiving Zheng Zhilong's 20 million taels of silver, a certain new emperor could have received 4 million taels of it as design patent fees.
After deducting the cost of nearly 8 million taels, the imperial court could earn more than 12 million taels of silver. But if the new emperor refused to let go, there would be only more than 8 million taels left, which was definitely not enough for the Northern Expedition.
A certain new emperor took out his share and lent it to the Ministry of Accounts. Now the amount returned by the Ministry of Accounts was 100% of the amount paid by Zheng Zhilong.
Coupled with the original savings and the annual income of nearly ten million taels that can still be harvested, it will be enough to support next year's Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expedition can now be carried out, but a certain new emperor believes that the matter is of great importance and is not yet fully prepared. It must be foolproof, or be infinitely close to this standard.
There must be 2,000 steam tanks, 10,000 horse-drawn or human-pushed tanks, 5,000 tactical missiles, more than 1,000 bronze cannons, and all flintlock muskets.
More than a hundred airships have been built to accompany the army on the expedition, which is roughly enough. In order to prevent problems in the bud, a certain new emperor also ordered the production of long-barreled anti-aircraft guns modified from Folang aircraft.
This thing is just like the 88mm anti-aircraft gun. It can be used both at high and low altitudes. It can hit airships at the top and hit tanks at the bottom.
Every soldier needs to be armed to the teeth from head to toe.
In addition to rifles, bayonets, helmets, armor, backpacks, bullets, propellants, and grenades, first aid kits, lunch boxes, kettles, goggles, ponchos, sleeping bags, etc. must be distributed.
The most important thing is compressed biscuits and fried noodles, which are the capital of settling down in Liaodong.
If there is no food, the Ming Dynasty King's Master will suffer defeat!
Calculated based on one million people, if we fight for one year, it will only be 6 million dan. If we add the livestock part, it will double.
The food is basically ready. Once the military pay, weapons, and supplies are in place, it will be able to meet the standards of a new emperor for an expedition.
This time, a large number of fishing boats will be mobilized to fish in Liaodong Bay. Three years without fighting is equivalent to a three-year fishing moratorium. The seafood in the big pond should be able to recover.
In this Northern Expedition, in addition to the Japanese army and the French and German forces, the Ming Dynasty King's Division will also dispatch at least 300,000 troops.
The number of soldiers in Yulin alone was as high as 90,000. Adding Sun Chuanting's original Qin army, the size of Shaanxi's soldiers exceeded 110,000.
The white-pole army capable of fighting tough battles was also indispensable in this battle. When a certain new emperor returned to the court last time, he ordered Qin Liangyu to recruit another 20,000 chieftain soldiers.
In this way, the size of the Baigan Army was expanded to as many as 50,000, which has set a historical record.
Including the troops of Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing, the total strength of these four troops was more than 200,000.
Yang Wenyue, the governor of Xuanda, sent 10,000 troops, and Wang Zaijin, the governor of western Liaoning, sent 40,000 troops.
Baoding sent out 10,000, Shandong sent out 20,000, and Hong Chengchou's 60,000 were transferred back.
In addition to the 50,000 East Palace Guards of a certain new emperor, as well as the four divisions of Mengruhu, Liu Guangzuo, Hu Dawei and Gaojie.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty's division exceeded 400,000, and the Japanese army dispatched another 400,000. If we include the German Allied Forces, Tianjin Navy, Dengrai Navy, and Zheng Zhilong's Land Division, the number would be close to one million.
Coupled with a large number of tanks and airships, if Liaoyang and Shenyang cannot be defeated, the entire army can collectively think about it behind closed doors...
Being able to dispatch such a large force for the Northern Expedition was thanks to the great help of General Tokugawa.
The other party has agreed to dispatch more than 400,000 Japanese troops next spring to help the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition.
There was nothing that could be done about it. There was no movement from the new emperor's side, and the Japanese country was wailing everywhere.
poverty!
No money!
Can't afford to live!
This sound almost never stops...
Going to the Ming Dynasty to fight and make money has become the same aspiration among the three classes of daimyo, samurai, and ashigaru.
Ashigaru cannot eat enough without money, let alone support the family.
If a samurai has no money, he cannot buy a horse or replace his armor.
If the daimyo didn't have money, they wouldn't be able to buy novel products from the Ming Dynasty. They were the last group of people who didn't want to live without money.
Therefore, these people kept writing to General Tokugawa, asking for military help and making some pocket money.
Especially after enjoying the benefits of raising their own troops as emperor of the Ming Dynasty, many famous names no longer wanted to spend money to raise their own legions.
You can make a lot of money, raise troops without spending money, and maintain your own strength. Where can you find such good things?
After a certain new emperor revealed the news of next year's Northern Expedition, the whole country of Japan was filled with joy, which meant that another large sum of money was about to be settled...
A certain new emperor believed that the braid master lurking in the capital would find out something about it, and sent someone to Emperor Taiji to make a final decision.
It would be best for the Emperor Taiji to take a pre-emptive strike and send out all the troops to knock on the pass in winter, so that the new emperor would not have to go to the pass in person.
I originally wanted to wait and wait for Huang Taiji to deliver the goods to my door, but unfortunately this product will not be easily deceived.
After giving tens of thousands of taels of funeral money to a certain new emperor, Huang Taiji became much smarter and no longer dared to commit the embarrassment of stealing a chicken but losing a lot of rice.
Before winter came, a certain new emperor did not leave Zheng Zhilong's fleet idle, transporting a large number of people and goods to the North and Southeast Asia.
Even if King Hui's position is coveted by Braid, it doesn't matter. As long as it lasts for another twelve months, Braid's end will come.
Shenyang has been taken away, and even if Huang Taiji survives, he won't have much thought about Ming's overseas vassals.
Although there is no threat of braid over there in Nanyang, and crops are harvested three times a year, the four seasons are like summer, so it takes some time to get used to it.
Although the Northland is much colder than the mainland, it is not a barren land. As long as it is cultivated properly, it can still be harvested once a year.
Not to mention fishing and hunting, the most important thing is that there are five feudal lords on the shore, and their territory can extend almost infinitely to the west.
Since the four kings of Zhou, Chong, Lu, and Hui were more aware of current affairs, a certain new emperor allowed Zheng Zhilong's fleet to send 20,000 people to each king every year.
King Fu, that damn fat man, didn't know what to do, so he lowered the standard to 5,000 people, and they were all from his own territory.
Including the two families of King Jin and King Dai, a certain new emperor strives to move more than 10 million min to the north within a hundred years, so that Ming people can gain a foothold there!
The situation in Nanyang is similar, but there is only so much land, unless you go to the Australian continent, and many tropical diseases are still at an uncontrollable stage, and its ability to digest the population is less than half that of the Northland.
There is another place to stay, and that is Zhang’s east land!
Zheng Zhiwan sent people to Alaska once a year, and the supplies he sent could only supply 20,000 people.
The rest need to rely on Zhang Da Zongzi's troops to rely on their own efforts. Since the journey is too long, few people are willing to go.
According to reports from Zheng Zhiwan's people, Zhang Xianzhong's troops not only were not wiped out by the local Indian tribes or Spanish, but actually took root there.
It has established a foothold in the northwest United States and southwest Canada, that is, the Vancouver area. The control area is close to that of Guangdong and Guangxi, but it is quite impressive.
This kind of person is suitable for settling in this kind of place, and the whole process grows wild!
Zhang Xianzhong also sent troops to fight the Spanish army heading north and achieved a great victory.
However, given that it claimed to have wiped out hundreds of enemies, it may actually have been only a hundred or even dozens, so a big victory is reasonable.
Spain doesn't have much interest in the northern part of the North American continent. It will probably not send a large number of troops northward, but will only send out a small force for reconnaissance.
If you are caught by Zhang Da Zongzi, then take advantage of the situation and take it all. These Spaniards are unlucky!
This thing is humanoid Chaos, and he will eat whatever he catches. This is also the main reason why a certain new emperor kept it in North America!
Although he still wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, a certain new emperor had already discounted Zhang's godson Li Dingguo.
Every year, 50 tanks, 200 artillery pieces, 2,000 muskets, 20,000 hand grenades, and a number of airships are transported to it in a disguised form of barter.
This is already very interesting, and after Mr. Zhang obtains it, he will never let these brand-new weapons lie idle...
A certain new emperor has no time to take care of the North American continent now, but he also doesn't want to see it completely cannibalized by the Western Barbarians.
How much territory Zhang can grab depends on his ability.
Local prisoners who have served well in the mining areas will be sent to North America first.
A certain new emperor didn't want to see them go to the mining area to mine again in his lifetime, so he simply gave them to Zhang.
Apart from the military management, there is actually nothing bad there. At least you can eat meat every day.
No matter how ruthless Mr. Zhang is, he still knows that one more of his people will give him more strength.
According to his letter to Li Dingguo’s family, as long as he is a member of the Ming Dynasty and has not committed any murder, arson, or forcible play with women, he can directly become an uncle when he gets there.
This is how Zhang understands the word "uncle".
There’s a house like its own—a wooden house!
There is land—wasteland!
It has its own product - fur!
There is something to eat - fish!
This can be regarded as the serious "four great masters"!
Zhang's management method is also very strange. All people of appropriate age will be allocated a piece of land according to their age and physical condition.
The common people are the owners of this land. They can build houses, cultivate land, dig wells, or do anything on it, but after autumn, they must turn in the food!
If you pay less or fail to pay, you will be whipped. This is the rule set by Mr. Zhang!
Although it is desolate there, the water network is relatively developed. As long as the temperature is not too cold and there is water to irrigate the land, it is perfectly fine to grow some wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
According to Li Dingguo, all the people in Zhang's territory have become self-sufficient and can also supply a large amount of military rations every year.
The most serious problem was not food, but the lack of population. The plundered Indians could not be as diligent as the Ming people.
Zhang could only treat them as slaves and take them with him during wars. As long as they could work hard, they would be fed and clothed.
However, only in this way can we realize the strategy of supporting war with war, and use 60,000 to 70,000 people to support a force of 20,000 troops.
Zhang's troops were not completely out of production, but went to the fields to help the people during spring plowing and autumn harvest, which was equivalent to copying the farming and war system that helped the rise of Qin.
The northwestern part of the North American continent was not touched by the Westerners. Zhang's troops just filled this gap and aroused the vigilance of the Spanish.
After losing hundreds of people, Spain sent a message asking Zhang to take his troops to withdraw to the area near southern Alaska.
But this unreasonable request was flatly rejected by Zhang, and he even asked for California in return!
If you can’t get the whole thing, ask for half of it first, which is Northern California!
Naturally, everyone in Spain disagreed, so one occupied Oregon and the other occupied California.
While the confrontation was ongoing, friction continued...
Although the Spanish garrison also had a large number of troops, Zhang used the tactics he learned in the country to great perfection.
Taking advantage of the mountainous nature of Oregon, they often ambush the Western armies that invaded their territory from the north, and achieved great success.
The Spanish army was not good at mountain warfare at all, and it was not as hard-working as Zhang's troops, so they had few victories.
A certain new emperor estimated that at this rate, if Zhang was sent another 50,000 people, he might be able to conquer half of North America!
