Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For two and a half months, what Yang Meng wanted to wait for was not the formation of the New Eight Banners and the Mongolian troops, but food. No matter how beautiful he said, what Yang Meng wanted to see was the autumn harvest.  The three-pronged conquest of Russia looks impressive, but the hidden dangers are also huge. The first one is food. Opposite the northwest is the West Siberian Plain. This land is also the land that Yang Meng is determined to win. The Mongolian soldiers and the northwest army will work together to capture it.  However, this is not the main food-producing area of ??Tsarist Russia, and with the pace of northward and westward expansion, the pressure from the center of Tsarist Russia will increase.  Although Yang Meng issued a military order to plunder on the spot, there is no food output in the area, so what can be looted?  The same goes for the Mongolian soldiers. Facing the vast and sparsely populated wilderness, there is no place to grab things like food!  The same is true for the legions in the three eastern provinces. Looting can only solve a small part of the food supply. Most of the food for the three legions and nearly two million people requires domestic support.  Before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass must be sent first. Like the clothing for the winter war, food is also a must-have item for this Russian expedition. There are already signs of civil war in the United States, and domestic disputes continue. Although the information obtained by Shadow is not very specific.  , but YangMeng was extremely determined.  The loss of food from Milica would also be extremely detrimental to the Qing Dynasty. In recent years, the food from Milica every year was enough to meet the food needs of the two provinces. Once Milica fell into civil war, food imports would be greatly reduced.  .  The food of other countries is simply not enough to satisfy the market of the Qing Dynasty. Food self-sufficiency is the guarantee that the war against Russia can continue.  Judging from the grain output of the Qing Dynasty in the previous twenty years, it was self-sufficient.  It's just a wishful thinking.  But in terms of the amount of land.  The grain output of the Qing Dynasty should be surplus. The land of the Qing Dynasty today is only much more than that of later generations. Although the grain yield per mu is not high, the population of the Qing Dynasty is really not large!  Throughout the Qing Dynasty, most of the demand for food was to fill the stomach. There was not too much food wasted, judging from the amount of land.  It should be possible to have a certain surplus in grain production.  But the reality is that the entire Qing Dynasty, except for the three eastern provinces, is short of food, and floods and droughts are the main culprits that affect food production. It only takes one year to build simple canals. Now half of the land in the Qing Dynasty is  Using Yang Meng's method of building canals, this year's grain output is critical.  As for grain production, it is still the same as in previous years.  The war in the north must end within one or two years, otherwise the entire Qing Dynasty will be dragged down by food.  "Third Master, the grain harvest in Zhili and Shandong is five times that of last year. This is the grain record!" The insufficient grain output in the Qing Dynasty was caused by natural disasters and corruption.  I don¡¯t know how much grain production has to be hidden in a year in order to avoid taxes. The most accurate data is the five times the saying made by Xu Ziwei. Comparing it with last year¡¯s real grain production is the most accurate data.  "What are these things? They are all densely packed with characters. The Arabic numerals used in the West are good. Whether it is accounting or mathematical deduction, Arabic numerals are much better than square characters. After this time, promote it! Learn these  Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are not difficult! In the Qin Dynasty, the carts used were on the same track and the books were written in the same text. This was also the case in the Qing Dynasty. The measurement units such as bucket, load, stone and dendrobium were very inaccurate.  These measurement units should also be learned from those in the West. What I want is not speciousness, but precise figures. For grain, the weight of a bushel of millet and a bushel of corn are definitely different. Don¡¯t use such things next year.  Let¡¯s keep accounts. Let Minghu do the work! Let Shandong and Zhili consolidate last year¡¯s grain production. The Ministry of Household¡¯s grain book cannot be counted. I want a grain book!  One foot square and one palm thick, it was densely covered with square characters. There were dozens of characters for the grain output of a county, and the quantity was also extremely imprecise. Pushing aside the grain book in front of him, Yang Meng proposed a plan for rectification.  Opinion.  "Third Master, if we go by the local production in Shandong and Zhili, this year's grain output will be more than three times that of last year! Third Master, do we have to wait for this decree to unify weights and measures, use the same track as vehicles, and have the same text in books?"  After all" "What Xu Ziwei wants to talk about is the political achievements of a country. After all, sometimes it needs to be replaced by favorable policies. If there is no reason, why should the people support you?  What the people want is what the new dynasty needs!  Minghu also has the Yang family's staff and administrative team. During this period, many favorable policies that the new dynasty can use in the future have been gathered. Arabic numerals and new units of measurement are also being planned by Xu Ziwei and others. Many people from the Western world  Experience has also made the Yang family's administration more and more mature.  "These are all small paths. Nowadays, the conquest of Russia is a big deal. There are some domestic matters that must make way for the conquest of Russia and accumulate national strength.The most important thing is the conquest of Russia, followed by earning reputation.  But what you said is not completely unreasonable. Let¡¯s try it out in Southwest and Lianghu!  In the name of the Yang family!  After the autumn harvest, it¡¯s time to levy taxes. You must grasp the extent of this levy. Some projects in various places can also start during the slack season. Taxes and wages must be collected with the left hand and out with the right hand. Don¡¯t cause starvation to death.  Just fine!  "I urge the remaining provinces to compare last year's actual output with this year's output. The data must be sorted out half a month before sending troops, otherwise I will not be sure."  It seems that building canals is still beneficial. The key project during the slack period is to dig wells and build canals. Let Guangzhou see if there is a way to popularize steam water pumps, as long as it does not affect the production of ironclads and ordnance!  Over at the Academy of Sciences, you also need to urge us. In the near future, coal, iron and chemical fertilizers will still be the main products. There must be mass production factories for trains and rails. The same goes for fertilizers. The technology of steel bridges and cable bridges must continue to be studied. The other matters will be discussed later.  Delay it!  Are there any problems in the northwest, Mongolia and eastern provinces?  "Food sustains the survival of the army and the people, and taxation sustains the army's military pay and investment in various projects. Today's Qing Dynasty is slowly advancing in an orderly cycle, but Yang Meng's purpose is to usurp the Qing Dynasty. The intensity of this taxation is absolutely  It won¡¯t be too small. Letting the people live well and not live well is Yang Meng¡¯s purpose in the past two years. Although it is important to accumulate national power, the industry still needs to move closer to war. If you want to win with less, you want to win with weakness.  To win the battle, the huge industrial base is the backing. The number of frontline firearms is sufficient. However, if you want to occupy the northern territory of Tsarist Russia, transportation is also necessary. Relying on the so-called 800-mile rush, the Qing Dynasty can even reach Mongolia and the northwest.  If the control is not good, things like railways and telegraphs are all necessary now. After giving Xu Ziwei and others a rough outline of the future administrative scope, Yang Meng focused on the conquest of Russia. "Third Master, no matter what.  Whether it is the northwest, Mongolia or the three eastern provinces, the road to march into Tsarist Russia is full of high mountains. Now the pharmaceutical factories in the rear are already struggling.  " "I said in the three eastern provinces, are you focused on the pharmaceutical factory in the arsenal?  ¡± Although the power of local medicine is small, it is simple to make. The cost of foreign medicine is several times that of local medicine. It is too wasteful to use it to open roads. As long as the quantity is sufficient, the power of local medicine and foreign medicine is about the same. These things are ignored  Meng said before that he still had an impression in his mind. When he heard Xu Ziwei's words, Yang Meng's face darkened. "Uh there is no reward from below!"  " The plate is too big. It is inevitable that mistakes will be made in some things. Seeing that Xu Ziwei was a little embarrassed, Yang Meng did not delve into the matter. Everything is in order. It was just an idea. " Okay, forget it this time. In the future, we will still use soil to build mountains and roads.  Take medicine!  In the near future, I will discuss with Nobel again to see if we can come up with new drugs. You should still pay attention to food during this period. Report the data as soon as possible. Most of the ordnance from Mongolia has also arrived. The war is imminent. This time  The winter war might catch Tsarist Russia by surprise, right?  " " If we talk about specialization, Yang Meng is a dabbler in chemistry. The dabblers of later generations are also experts here. Yang Meng can refine cloud smoke. There are some things that Yang Meng still has the formula in his heart. It's just that  They just didn¡¯t want to get it out too early. The northwest army was advancing step by step. Facing the offensive of 600,000 troops, Tsarist Russia reluctantly gave up the territory of Kazakhstan. The Qing Dynasty¡¯s tactics were too cautious and wanted to defeat hundreds of thousands of people in Kazakhstan.  The Qing army is obviously impossible. Hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered in Tsarist Russia. Although they are helpless in the face of the Qing army, everyone in Tsarist Russia knows that the war will come to a standstill in a few months. One winter is enough  Tsarist Russia has made effective arrangements. But Yang Meng's food output has been very good, three times last year's food output. With this amount, the Qing Dynasty is more than self-sufficient in food. Next, it is time to generalize.  It¡¯s time to turn this food into actual benefits. The benefits that food can bring now are millions of square kilometers, or tens of millions of square kilometers of land! ¡°This is definitely a huge profit business.  Give orders to the three provinces of Northwest, Mongolia, and East, and set off simultaneously in half a month, marching in three directions to conquer Tsarist Russia!  The front line must be set up in the northwest, and the armies of Mongolia and the three eastern provinces must focus on occupying territory.  After setting out, unless encountering extremely bad weather, any army along the way is not allowed to stop the offensive at will. Anyone who violates this will be killed!  Those who repeatedly refuse to listen to withering will be deprived of food!  " Food is guaranteed, and Yang Meng's eyes are bursting with blood. This is the era of individual cannibalism. The hatred between Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty is not great, and the hatred between Britain and France is the greatest. But compared with Britain and France, going to war with Russia will  Yang Meng's interests are the greatest, and Tsarist Russia?The national strength and industrial level are far inferior to those of the powerful European countries, Britain and France. They only pick the weak when they attack, and if they miss this opportunity to expand their territory, there will never be such a good thing again.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
