    This command reminded Yang Yi of the party disputes and strife between the civil servants of the DPRK and China in the officialdom, and he suddenly realized: It turned out that their teacher Shengde was just such a thing. No wonder they taught such a bunch of grandsons and dared to pretend to be big in front of me.  .  Depend on.

    After Eunuch Li finished his emotion, he shouted: "We are here to declare the edict for the Holy One. This ship is simple, so there is no need to put an incense table. You Australian seafarers, kneel down to receive the edict."

    Jin San was worried about kneeling down to your sister, but he also knelt down to receive the order. He didn¡¯t know that the highest etiquette besides kneeling down to his dead relatives was to bow three times.  Kneeling down or something, it must be a remnant of feudalism, and it should be knocked down to the ground and then stepped on ten thousand feet so that it will never turn over.

    Jin Sanduo rubbed his knees and said: "Lao Han's legs have been offending recently, so please kneel down and declare the decree."

    "You, you are treasonous and bastard." Eunuch Li's nose was almost twisted with anger. This was to announce the decree. This represented that the emperor was a long-lived master and the court's decency.

    Jin Sanduo took a small file to repair his nails and said casually: "I remember Zhu Yuanzhang himself said that he was a beggar. Why should I kneel down for the descendants of beggars? If your emperor is not convinced, he has the ability.  You can compete with our Australian armored ships. Not to mention that Zheng He¡¯s treasure ships are no longer there. Even when Zheng He¡¯s fleet was at its strongest, we were all rammed and sunk by him. Commander Yang tried it once last time, and Commander Yang  Sir, let me ask you, is our big iron ship made of all steel?"

    "Eunuch Li, if the matter is urgent, please obey the authority. Why not just declare the decree like this. All the nearby boat divisions combined are not as big as this big iron ship." Commander Yang tried it, but as soon as he fired a cannon, the fort was destroyed.  More than a hundred people were killed or injured and fled.  A Grand General Franco machine gun was destroyed, which was a heavy loss. In the end, there was nothing to be done. Commander Yang had to go on board and pay the money to allow the Australian large iron ship to retreat.

    Eunuch Li said anxiously: "Where is the decency?"

    Decency is one thing, but more importantly, this time there is something in the order that requires someone else's ship and someone else's craftsman. If the Tianjin Guard commander doesn't seem to be helpless, he can still complete the task well.  .  For this job, all the property that Eunuch Li saved was used - he didn't even think about it. He, a newcomer who enters the palace every two years, can get this job. How can there be so many good things? All other father-in-laws are fools.  , they left it to him because they saw that this job was not easy to do.

    Seeing the two people arguing endlessly, Jin Sanduo yawned: "If you don't want to do business, just go down. We still have to recruit workers."

    After saying that, Jin Sanduo turned on the electric speaker: "Australia is recruiting workers, military households, civilian households, craftsmen households, and happy households. Soldiers will enjoy the treatment of servants. The monthly military salary is two and a half silver. If the full amount is paid, there will be no arrears. Farming.  The land will be divided among the craftsmen after three years, and skilled craftsmen will be given priority"

    In this noisy voice, Eunuch Li finally couldn't help it anymore: "You Australian seafarer, let me tell you clearly. Today's Emperor Shengde wants your big iron ships and mirrors, guns and bullets.  Craftsmen, but it¡¯s not in vain. All of you Australian seafarers can become officials. If you don¡¯t want this kindness from me, please tell me something.¡±

    Jin Sanduo turned off the electric horn and shouted: "Guards, find a rock for me to blast with cannons. Find a rock farther away and let them see if our ship is strong and our guns are strong."

    The two 110mm smoothbore cannons were moved out by four gunners respectively. Since there was no gun mount, they were fixed with sandbags and filled with five kilograms of gunpowder bags and more than ten kilograms of iron ball shells. After two "booms", the shells flew.  It hits the rocks for several miles, blowing up the target rocks and sending rubble flying in all directions.

    After the fight, Jin Sanduo looked at the expressions of the commander and the eunuch and asked, "How about our cannon? Four people can carry it and it's not less powerful than the Hongyi cannon."

    Commander Yang, a soldier after all, knew the ropes right away, and secretly said to Eunuch Li: "The cannon only weighs a few hundred kilograms, but it is as powerful as the Hongyi General's cannon of several thousand kilograms. One shot can destroy the area for several miles. Then attack  It can be used to build a city, defend a city, or conduct field battles. If you can buy a few of them, it will be a great achievement."

    Eunuch Li said: "With such a treasure, it is natural that it should be dedicated to Long Live, and it is only right that it be used by the court."

    Commander Yang whispered: "The problem is, they don't recognize it. Doesn't the imperial court also have to spend money to buy the Hongyi cannon from the Franji people?"

    Jin Sanduo said: "We are open to do business. We can sell artillery, fast guns, and bullets. But we are not afraid if someone wants to rob us. I want to see who can do it better than our big iron ship. If you can  If they beat us, let alone a big iron ship or a few craftsmen, they would be able to kill us."

    The conversation changed and Jin Sanduo said again: "Of course, if someone is determined to go against us, we will remember to take care of him when our troops are strong. By then, even if he is hiding in the palace, we can catch him  Come out and kill.¡±

    Eunuch Li was anxious and angry.He said in a sharp voice: "You, you threaten our family."

    Jin Sanduo smiled and said: "Since you think it is a threat to you, then it is a threat to you. Say it, we will kill you on the ship now. Ask Commander Yang next to you who can avenge you in Tianjin Guard."  ? Hahahahaha"

    Eunuch Li glanced at Commander Yang who was looking for ants on the deck, and then he realized the danger of his situation.  Eunuch Li's knees went weak, and he knelt unconsciously in front of Jin Sanduo. While crying, he slapped himself with his bow from left to right, causing blood to fly from his mouth.  Damn it."

    "Forget it, Commander Yang even found someone to bombard our big iron ship. We didn't do anything to him either."

    Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief, the trick he learned in the palace was finally put to use.  It is said that this Australian sea guest is much better than the big eunuchs in the palace. Those big eunuchs heard that he was a scholar in the past and often used to slap themselves in the mouth and knock themselves out for fun.  But what to do about this errand?

    After Eunuch Li stopped slapping his mouth, he said with a swollen face: "Australian grandfathers, save my life. This time I am out on an errand. If I don't do it well, my life will be over."

    Jin Sanduo smiled and said, "Why don't you come to Australia with us? We don't have eunuchs there. If you go there, you can get money as long as you exhibit once a day. This is great."

    Eunuch Li cried: "The villain's ancestral home is in Jiangxi, and the whole family is in the interior. We really dare not leave. Otherwise, our family will be confiscated and our family will be destroyed."

    "This is nothing. Forget it, I'll go ask you."

    Of course, the ship cannot be given away, mirrors and bullets are now resting on their laurels. It doesn¡¯t matter if they sell a small part, but it is impossible to sell them in large quantities. Where did the craftsmen come from to give them to the Ming Dynasty emperor?

    Someone suggested: "Why don't you give the court two cannons? The master who comes here probably can't make the decision. If you want to open up the arms market of the Ming Dynasty, you have to spend some publicity expenses and just use them as gifts. The cannons of the Ming Dynasty are all  It is used intensively on a large scale, often dozens or hundreds. When they understand that they cannot imitate this steel cannon, they will buy the cannon from us."

    Jin Sanduo said: "Has the price of this artillery been set yet?"

    Someone from the literature and history team said: "I checked the information and found that the Ming Dynasty once spent one thousand taels of silver to buy a Hongyi cannon. Our steel cannon is lighter, but there is no need to sell it too expensively. After all, the financial situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was  We have always been in a state of being unable to make ends meet. I think the price of these 110mm smoothbore cannons is better to be set at 1,000 taels per unit to facilitate our dumping. As for the Big Tiger Cannon, 200 taels is enough. I asked the military industry team and they said this  The price is more than five times the profit of buying iron to make steel and making cannons. When our steel plant is put into production in the future, this cost will be significantly reduced."

    Jin Sanduo said: "It is not that easy to put a steel plant into operation. I remember that in the 1950s, it took three to five years from the beginning of construction to the start of operation of a steel plant. Let alone the steel plant in our base, it is still unclear whether the brick factory has been put into operation.  In other words, this brick factory is put into operation. After the iron ore and coal mine are dug out, the coal mine must be coked before it can be used to make steel."

    "The construction you said will be completed in three to five years is a national-level large-scale steel plant. What we are planning to build now is a small steel plant. It is the kind of small blast furnace steelmaking workshop. The advantage of this kind of small steel plant is that it can be built quickly.  , it will only take a few years. At most, the steel plant can be put into operation in two years. Of course, we have to recruit enough labor force, and it will be useless no matter which plant has no one."

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how many people we can attract.¡±

    It turns out that after arriving at the port, the Lushan used a small boat to send down several immigrants recruited from Tianjin last time.  Of course, these people all have their families in Australia. They all eat well and work less in these months - even on the ship, they have very little time to exercise and see the sun.  After being raised in the cabin for a few months, he was fatter and fatter than before he got on the ship.  They all changed into new clothes, and then went to recruit workers for the Lushan.

    After these people went back, they praised Australia's big iron ship like a flower. If it was translated into a foreign language and then translated back, then Australia was a place where rice and meat flowed. On board the ship, they had white rice and meat every day. When they arrived in Australia  Everyone in future generations has work to do, fields to farm, and rice to eat every meal.  Not to mention the tenant farmers and military households who eat chaffy vegetables these days, even the peasants and petty officers are very envious of them. As for the evidence, you can see that this person has turned white and fat after returning from a few months of walking. This is not evidence.  Well, you must know that fat people are very respected in this era - how can people gain weight even if they don't have enough to eat - the exception is those who are bloated due to hunger.

    Of course, life in Australia is not so easy. Manpower is now being organized to kill insects and snakes near the base. A sheep was bitten by a poisonous snake during grazing and died of poisoning. Considering that Australia also has the famous black sheepWidow spiders and people wear cooler clothes in summer, so the threat of venomous snakes and venomous insects is still not small.  People sprinkled sulfur powder and lime powder around the outside of residential areas. Fortunately, eucalyptus trees are slightly toxic and can repel insects and kill bacteria. Eucalyptus trees are still safe in houses.

    However, Australia is really rich in resources. Not to mention the Stone Age aborigines on land who could live a relaxed and leisurely life by hunting, herding and gathering. There is also no tuna and various fish resources in the sea.  Developed virgin land - the natives here do not fish.

    This is still southern Australia. Northern Australia is in the tropical sea. If you farm nearby, you will definitely get three crops a year. The wild coconut trees on the shore are even covered with coconuts.  It¡¯s just that the rainy season there is slightly longer ¨C in northern Australia, there are two seasons a year except the dry season, which is the rainy season.

    Although Eunuch Li didn¡¯t do his job well, he didn¡¯t gain anything.  I got two steel cannons, one big and one small, and went back to the imperial city to deliver a mission to the emperor. Before leaving, Eunuch Li spent a long time on the boat, and finally someone remembered what was going on.  Find a large silver ingot of fifty taels and give it to Eunuch Li as a reward for running errands - this also makes the Lushan cruisers extremely despised. This feudal society is indeed extremely evil. Who else would the Sino-German United Empire dare to accept so blatantly?  Money, I'm afraid life has entered a countdown.

    After the establishment of the Sino-German United Empire, the country felt the rigid dogma of the Germans and adopted a system of exchanging official positions with Germany - that is, Han officials could only serve as officials in German territories in Europe, while German officials could only come here.  Officials in the territory of the Han people.

    The character of Germans is mainly rigid and dogmatic.  As long as the law clearly stipulates it, the Germans will not violate it, no matter how ridiculous it is. Although it is not absolutely impossible, it is already the lowest level in the world in terms of proportion.  For example, taking wage levels as an example, the Germans are not a factory where workers are paid according to their work, let alone piece-rate wages. Instead, workers are paid according to their educational level.

    In other words, if German college students and middle school students move bricks together, no matter how much the middle school students do, they can only get the salary of the middle school students, while the salary of the college students is significantly higher than that of the middle school students - even if they move significantly less than the middle school students.  .  But no Germans think there is anything wrong with this - for the purpose of improving the educational level of the German nation, this loss is nothing - but domestic capitalist business owners will definitely say what is fair and natural when encountering this kind of thing.

    In this serious political environment, if you want to take bribes from Germans or accept bribes from Germans, you must first consider whether you are tired of living - neither the SS nor the Central Military Command grew up on a vegetarian diet -  Moreover, fishing law enforcement is considered legal in dealing with corruption. According to the legal provisions of the Sino-German United Empire, as long as the amount of corruption, bribery and misappropriation of public funds exceeds 500 oceans or 1,000 marks, it will be deemed to be a heinous crime and can be punished.  The scope of execution of capital punishment.

    And the sphere of influence of the Sino-German United Empire is so large that almost no country can allow it to flee.  Even if they fled to the United States, which cannot be extradited, there would still be a large number of killers to silence them - the most serious case was that a corrupt official who fled to the United States blew up the Empire State Building when he and his family were visiting the Empire State Building.  This iconic building of American imperialism was destroyed in the collapse of the Empire State Building along with this corrupt official and his family.

    That incident caused a big fuss, but the top leaders of the Sino-German United Empire didn't care. In other words, the Sino-German United Empire was already preparing to attack the U.S. imperialism from the north and south from Canada and Mexico.  .  As a result, after the US imperialists realized that something was wrong, they swallowed the bitter pill and issued a statement that the Empire State Building was a shoddy project. There was no further follow-up. It is wise not to hit the smiling person. In the face of the US imperialism,  There was nothing the Sino-German United Empire could do about the ostrich policy - in the end, the long-prepared plan to nuclear bomb Washington was not completed.

    The recruitment effect of the Lushan ship was quite good this time. Thousands of households left their homes and businesses to board the ship from Tianjin under the persuasion of this group of "pace-setters".  In the late Ming Dynasty, the area north of the Yellow River was in a state of continuous natural disasters under the influence of the Little Ice Age.  Gao Yingxiang, the first generation king of rebellion this year, has already gathered in a crowd to rebel. It is also true that many people started to rebel only when they could not survive - if everyone could eat and drink well, who would have nothing to do with their heads in their waistbands to rebel - let alone  In the feudal era, rebellion was still a major crime against the nine tribes.

    After these new immigrants boarded the ship, the "pacesetters" began to tell them about the hygiene and discipline on the ship, as well as how to use the bathroom.  This time, there is really no laundry detergent on the Lushan, but there is still a way, and that is natural soap locust.

    As for the food, there is no need to worry about it. Soon after boarding the ship, the immigrants were treated to white rice, pickled radish and fish every meal - of course, people who traveled through time would not eat pickled radish every meal, but there were no vegetables, and they had only one piece of fruit with each meal.  It also needs to be guaranteed.  As for preventing septicemia in immigrants, fish stewJust add some fresh orange juice to it.

    This time, Commander Yang did not buy weapons, but pointed out a clear way to the Lushan - Pi Island.  This is now Dongjiang Town. A town has to be established in a small place, which shows that the location here is very critical.  It is indeed true that Pi Island is now the junction of the three countries of Ming Dynasty, Inuqing Dynasty and Korea.  Here, Mao Wenlong launched a guerrilla operation behind enemy lines against the lowly slave Jurchen. It was precisely because of Mao Wenlong's restraint that the lowly slave Jurchen (that's right) did not dare to go south easily.

    According to historical records, as soon as Mao Wenlong died, the slave Nuzhen detoured south through Mongolia under the Tatar leader Huang Taiji (the name is a transliteration, so it cannot be wrong), and even marched into the surrounding areas of Beijing to plunder and Yuan Chonghuan's Ningyuan cavalry broke out.  The battle of Guangqumen.

    It's just that although Yuan Chonghuan defeated the Tatars under Guangqu's sect, because of his improper actions in pacifying the Liao Dynasty - especially after he ordered to kill Mao Wenlong and brought the Manchu cavalry to the imperial city, Yuan Chonghuan was also arrested, and finally  Wenzhan - to put it bluntly, it is in response to what Yuan Chonghuan said when he killed Mao Wenlong: "I will kill Mao Wenlong today to rectify military discipline. If there are any generals who are like Mao Wenlong, they must be killed. If I can't succeed, please ask the emperor to do the same  Kill me like you killed Mao Wenlong."

    So, don¡¯t say anything randomly and swear not to stand randomly - the principal lies down.  The next year, Yuan Chonghuan complied with what he said and was killed by the emperor.

    By the way, as a modern person, Yuan Chonghuan deserves to die.  Because no matter how Mao Wenlong deserves to die, he should be dealt with by the imperial court, instead of just throwing a Hongmen Banquet to deal with him.  To modern people, this means that after the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Military Region issued a military order to take over Vietnam in five years, he felt that the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Military Region was disobedient and held a Hongmen Banquet and killed the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Military Region without authorization.  Then, when the Guangxi Military Region was leaderless and in chaos, Vietnam took the opportunity to send troops to hold an armed parade in the capital Nanjing. Even if the central government wanted to give the Guangxi Military Region an explanation, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Military Region would undoubtedly die.  Otherwise, what difference would there be from the warlord era?  (To be continued.
