Chapter 717

”British? "

the king of Chu was at a loss. In the past, he had heard more or less about Europe from the Cao family, but now he found that he knew too little about Europe.

Richard did not hide the king of Chu. After all, the king of Chu gave him a very good salary during this period, so he explained: "in fact, there has been the saying of steam engine in Britain for a long time, but at that time, the steam engine was almost useless, and people in other European countries did not care."

Recalling for a moment, he continued, "but no one thought that the British had secretly improved the steam engine and used it in the textile industry for a long time. The Dutch, the Spanish and us franceans were all cheated by the British. We didn't know about this cunning Englishman until recently when they sold the steam engine to other countries at a high price. "

hearing this, the king of Chu could not help but feel a little uneasy. He said:" only according to the information he got, Xiao Ming's steam engine is not from England, but made by himself. "

"That's where I was shocked." Richard frowned. In his opinion, it was a little strange.

He would not be surprised if it was in Europe, but it happened in Dayu.

Is it a secret society? "Richard frowned.

The king of Chu was more and more puzzled. He said, "what is this secret association? "

Richard explained," this secret association is an association group in Britain. At first, it was composed of several stonemasons in order to monopolize the new technology they discovered. Later, this association attracted more and more people who wanted to monopolize technology, and put forward the theory that science and technology represented productivity. At the same time, they began to invite more and more elites When scholars joined this association, it gradually became more and more influential, even in the French Revolution. "

hearing this, the king of Chu shook his head." I don't care about this. Since the steam engine is so powerful, can you sell some to me? "

"Ha ha ha His Highness the king of Chu joked. This steam engine is very popular even in Europe, and it's impossible to sell it to his highness because it's thousands of miles away from Europe. " Richard denied the king of Chu's idea.

The king of Chu was a little angry, and his heart was more afraid. Now Xiao Ming's position is more and more stable, and he is still fighting against the public opinion to carry out the reform.

Now what kind of steam engine has been produced? He thought he could surpass Xiao Ming with the help of the power of the French, but now the gap between them is growing.

With a snort, the king of Chu turned and left, no longer talking to Richard, but thinking about how to get the steam engine from Xiao Ming.

After the king of Chu left, Richard's expression suddenly became gloomy. In fact, his heart had been hostile to the British secret society, because technology was the enemy of religion.

If Xiao Ming is related to this secret society, he should be careful. However, this explains why the prince of Dayu has mastered so much European technology from scratch.

……

In Qingzhou, Xiao Ming, one of the kings of Shu, sneezed and rubbed his nose. He muttered, "there are so many people who curse the king behind this."

It has been half a month since the last meeting. As time goes on, a large number of workshops have been built in six states. Every day, he can receive memorials from Pang Yukun and Fiji.

For him, everything is progressing according to the established plan.

With the advent of the steam age, the administrative and military reforms of the six states are also in parallel.

Especially in the army, while establishing the military aircraft department, Niu Zhen made a major adjustment to the army according to Xiao Ming's plan.

In the past, his troops were all divided into states, such as Qingzhou army and Dengzhou army. Now, in order to have a more unified command, he negotiated with Niu Zhen and prepared to establish six standing armies under the name of the former army of Dayu state.

The six standing armies are the left army, the right army, the Qianniu army, the Jinwu army, the Yulin army and the guard army.

Among them, the Imperial Guard was responsible for guarding the capital, and the other five troops were stationed in one or two prefectures respectively, responsible for border defense and foreign wars.

After this reform, his army will become more and more regular. At the same time, he has promoted many generals to take the post of general.

For example, Luo Hong is now commander-in-chief of jinwuwei, in charge of Chang'an Prefecture and the former Zhao state. Lu Fei is Commander-in-Chief of the right armed forces, stationed in Youzhou Prefecture. Luo Xin is Commander-in-Chief of the left armed forces, stationed in Jinling Prefecture.

Qi Guangyi served as a general of Qianniu army and stationed in Qingzhou prefecture to guard against barbarians. Lei Ming served as a general of the badminton army and stationed in Youzhou Prefecture.

Xiao Ming was in charge of the Imperial Guard of the capital. Of course, he was just a name. Niu Zhen was really in charge of the management.

In this way, he completely completed the reorganization of the army. Since the six standing armies will be under the command of the military aircraft department, which is directly responsible for him.

With a tick on the memorial presented by Niu Zhen, Xiao Ming puts down his pen.

The army is the top priority. After this reform, he believes that his army's combat effectiveness will be even stronger.

After all, every army is now made up of firemen, artillery, cavalry, chariots and other arms. It can be said that the comprehensive combat strength of every army is very strong.While he was meditating, Qian Dafu's voice rang out, "the emperor, the urgent report from Dengzhou. "

" come on. " Xiao Ming frowned.

It's snowing outside. At this time, Qian Dafu's body is white. After shaking the snow, Qian Dafu gives the memorial to Xiao Ming.

When he opened the memorial, Xiao Ming glanced at the contents of the memorial, and suddenly there was a haze in his heart.

This memorial was sent by Yue Yun. Just like what Wang Xuan provided, Koryo sent warships to disguise as Japanese pirates at this time of the year, intending to go to Dengzhou to plunder.

"Emperor, the post general outside is still waiting. General Yue Yun is waiting for the emperor's will." Qian Dafu said.

After the Northern War, Xiao Ming followed the policy of recuperation, so he restrained foreign wars, which Yue Yun naturally knew.

As the saying goes, once a big gun is fired, ten thousand taels of gold will be spent. If the war is started, it will cost money.

Mentioning the pen, Xiao Ming made a tick on the memorial without hesitation. It was in his plan to clean up Koryo. This time Koryo was sent to the door by himself.

In his opinion, Korea must have suffered heavy losses in the war with Japan, so he thought of fighting Qiufeng on his territory.

It's just that Korea is blindfolded by lard. It's really wrong. In his strategy, Korea will be completely occupied and divided into one government.

He comes from modern times, and naturally knows how much trouble this place will bring to him in the future. Instead of doing so, it's better to do it once and for all.
