Chapter 224: The Four Great Irons

readx(); Men have carried guns together and were wounded, one of the so-called four irons, is not a lie, the truth contained in it is the truth of the "blood alliance".

In politics, in many cases, for a regime, the ethnic group that has shed their blood for the regime can often get the most support and trust, and this ethnic group that has paid can also swear allegiance to follow after receiving a good reward for this kind of dedication.

This kind of virtuous circle can be seen in almost any excellent founding emperor in the world, with a small Boda is dependent on him, and the extreme, such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, back and forth are those Guangxi men who are desperate in front, and they basically distrust or refuse to use people in other places, which is also the reason for the defeat.

This truth is actually very easy to understand, for most people, only if they have worked hard, will they feel that this is the blood of him or his ancestors, and it is to be defended to the death, otherwise, the previous efforts are not in vain.

The lack of their own basic disk, is both a disadvantage and an advantage, the disadvantage is that there is no power worthy of trust, but the advantage is that anyone can develop into their own basic disk, of course, the establishment of mutual trust is the need for long-term operation.

This is also where any regime is entangled, biased to their own basic plate too much, then others will be dissatisfied, and any behavior that damages the interests of their own basic plate will lead to the collapse of the regime, especially the existence of too shameless, just like an island in 2016, people are surprised to find that the more you are good to a certain green group, they are about all kinds of shameless faces to you, but if you change your face and yell at him, let him know who the real master is, he is particularly honest kneeling and licking.

If a system cannot be based on human nature to praise loyalty and goodness, and punish the evil, then the final result will inevitably be that the good will die because of goodness, and the evil will start with pride.

For the Zheng family, Eighteen Zhi is the basic plate, and the Fujian Min people are also the basic plate, however, for the Zheng family who has gone through the initial development period, there is also a problem here, at the beginning, the Zheng family, which started as a pirate, started with such a team, and the unity and combat effectiveness are naturally very high, after all, as the Ming pirates of this era, the springboard hand-to-hand combat is still the mainstream of naval warfare, and at this time, the northerners who are not good at water are not very important, and the Fujian people who dare to work hard are the team, but they are also mixed with wind and water, Domination of Japan's foreign trade was revealed, and each ship had to pay a certain amount of silver taels every year in order to do business normally.

However, once it reached and went up, it encountered a big bottleneck, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong two generations, their infantry and land combat capabilities are basically at the lowest level of fighting, it can be said that there are few victories, the reason is the same as the British at the beginning of World War I killed and refused to recruit civilians to fight the Continental Army, only use their own descendants to fight, which is naturally a lot of benefits.

But once you can't stand it and use people outside the system to fight, it is not so easy for people to leave afterwards, and sure enough, with the end of World War I, the British aristocracy lost their original privileges step by step.

For the Zheng family, recruiting soldiers and horses for land warfare means that the original eighteen Zhi and other people who are dependent on the Zheng family have a decline in their right to speak in the Zheng family, as well as a decrease in the distribution of various money profits, which is the most important reason!

The basic plate problem plagues any political power and organization in the world, Chang Kaishen mainly uses his own Zhejiang people system, and his attendant officers are almost unable to work in the non-Zhejiang system, resulting in serious centrifugation of soldiers in other places, and as we all know, our great 8341 unit has always selected talents from elite troops from all over the world, which is the basic plate problem.

There is no basic disk, which means that all the poor people in the world can be your basic disk.

Zheng Lixiang has been very scared for a few days since she was exposed, and after living in the Jinyiwei community for a few days, someone came to the door, as she herself knew, there was something that could perfectly print her appearance on the temporary residence card, and she was like a chicken in a cage, and she could be arrested at any time, of course, fortunately, people just invited her to take the train and came to Tianjin.

To tell the truth, as a port, Tianjin is not very suitable for shipbuilding, for the elders, the location of the well-known Dalian shipyard in the future is the perfect shipbuilding workshop, however, now it is also possible to take a look, due to the lack of talent, so the steam engine engine launched the sea ship can not be manufactured, for these new time and space pirates to use, it is almost difficult to drive out of Asia, but, correspondingly, in the selection of wood, as well as the preparation of cannons, the system is basically modeled after the later Nelson Victory as a template, It was a powerful ship for Napoleon's dream of attacking England.

As for the cannon, it is the best of the best, the sea at this time is not very peaceful, it has not yet reached the era of the British dominating the seven seas in the later generations, and even some official pirates are making waves everywhere, so in the selection of cannons, it is the real essence of this trip, and it is their biggest dream to go to the town of Europe to get those white-skinned turtles, and at the same time find a way to open the door to the European arms market.

At this time, in the shipbuilding dock in Tanggu, Zheng Lixiang looked at the huge sea ship and said with some unconfidence: "This is for our Zheng family?" ”

She was always unconfident, this was not a small sampan, but a big ship that could not be called, even those white-skinned foreigners were not as big as this, but like a building.

"The ownership belongs to the state, there is no doubt about it, but in terms of the right to use, it can still be discussed, as I said before, the Zheng family sent people, drove this ship, went to Europe, and came back for your use, well, of course, including the cannon above."

Zheng Lixiang's eyes lit up, with this ship, the Zheng family's pattern at sea can also be upgraded to the next level, before they could only rely on some advantages to reach a compromise with the foreign devils, but after that, they can take more active actions.

She smiled and said, "I don't know what is good about the foreigners, I usually only know that some of the gadgets they make are quite exquisite, and they are inferior to the elders." ”

Li Xiangqian had the heart to say that he wanted to arrest Newton in the imperial capital, but he still held back this kind of words, and the poisoning operation of European universities was not smooth, but it was a winter in Europe before, and people were very careful.

However, what he has always worried about is the European scientific research system that has grown up during this period, which is obviously a force that is difficult to suppress, and the best way is to subdue it, just like the little Zhengtai Newton that he wanted to kidnap is an example.

Scientific research is divided into three periods, at the beginning, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Franklin and other generalists, for each discipline is relatively shallow, but human beings have not paid attention to the place before, at the same time, the classification of science, also began to have a basic summary.

It can be said that after this period, humanity will pass a big filter and will not become the last poor worm to die on the earth.

In the later period, scientific research entered a profound field, and a genius discovered a major principle through in-depth research, and became a big man in his profession in one fell swoop, becoming the mainstream of the scientific community, what Einstein, Marie Curie, are all figures of this era.

But later, the undiscovered point of science, in the 21st century, has become more and more profound knowledge, then scientific research began the period of trial and error, that is, for a scientific principle, although I can't find the right one, but through a little bit of verification of the error, in the end I got all the wrong answers, and the correct answers naturally got them.

In this era, although the scientific research strength of Europe cannot be compared with that of later generations, it is also a vigorous era, and there will be no such thing as not daring to confirm the name of a certain God particle because of the threat of a certain religious thinking.

Li Xiangqian's biggest worry is that when the conservative elders will be obsessed with the small place of the Western Pacific, people in Europe will take the opportunity to study their science on the side, and the knowledge that transcends this era will inevitably be transmitted to the natives of the new time and space, but once it spreads and the industrialization of Europe begins, the cost and input-output ratio of their conquest and domination of Europe will inevitably be very unsightly.

At the beginning of the game, the only opponent was Europe, which is why the Elders were so wary of them.

However, these things are naturally not something that can be told to the beauty in front of him at will, he thought about it and said: "This is not what you should understand, it is good to call your father to the imperial capital when you have time, I want to talk to him about how the Chinese should do in this era of exploration." ”

Zheng Lixiang smiled awkwardly and said: "My father is old, and he has been running the sea all year round, I'm afraid that he doesn't have such good legs and feet to come to the imperial capital, and if the elder has any send, Lixiang can handle it." ”

Li Xiangqian lowered his head and said, "This is not a smart approach, really, girl, this is really not a good idea for you, well, how about telling you some information?" ”

"Ask the elders for orders."

Li Xiangqian said slowly: "Don't look at this wooden boat is very ordinary, at least it is very ordinary for us, in fact, the paint it uses is not an ordinary color, but, every few years, if you come back to repair, only we can survive the replacement product, that is to say, this ship is indeed very large, leaving us, it is just waste." ”

Zheng Lixiang looked at the huge hull and said, "Paint? We can buy it for money. ”

Li Xiangqian said slowly: "This is another story. ”

Zheng Lixiang carefully calculated in her heart, before coming, her father just gave her some money to pay tribute, in general, because there are many mountains and few places in Fujian, people there are good at going to other places to do business and play smuggling or something, which is also a common thing.

Intercept the state tax and share the profits with some of the bigwigs above, anyway, the country that loses is the common choice of the Zheng family and the Lai family, but it is the country that is not satisfied.

However, the state is not an actual existence, but is made up of countless people, so there will be a relationship, a generation gap, and this is the problem.

She wanted to open her mouth many times, but countless realities told her that these elders no longer cared about money, what else could the Zheng family have to trade?

This sense of frustration made Zheng Lixiang a little uneasy, in this regard, the Zheng family's proud "silver bullet" offensive was ineffective in the face of these elders, and the reason was very simple, how could the Zheng family be compared with the Australian gold mine? Not to mention the Jakarta silver mine, in this game, it is an all-round three-dimensional rout.

Li Xiangqian suddenly said: "Speaking of which, there is another meaning to ask you to see this new ship, which is to ask you, you grew up in Japan?" ”

Zheng Lixiang replied: "Yes, but ......"

"Okay, okay, businessmen have never had a homeland."

Zheng Lixiang didn't know where this sentence came from, but Li Xiangqian said casually: "How to go on the road in the future of your family, I really don't need me to teach, I just came to you, to ask, about some situations in Japan, you have lived there, it must be more accurate than me to check the book." ”

Zheng Lixiang smiled and said, "How should I start talking about this?" ”

Li Xiangqian said: "Any details can be said casually, such as how much is the price of rice, whether there is really no stone mill, which makes it impossible to promote wheat, and what is the attitude of the samurai towards the merchants, many details can be said." ”

Zheng Lixiang was terrified for a while, and said: "I don't know if the elders want to know this, what is the matter, I just think that Japan and the Celestial Empire have been at peace for a long time, if they are arrogant, the Zheng family naturally doesn't dare to say anything, but they pity the people." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "It's nothing more than money, the Japanese political system, to the people, oh, I mean those farmers who account for the vast majority, it's too cruel, of course, it's not relatives, and no one cares, but those who really have a heart should still take care of it." ”

Zheng Lixiang was silent for a while, everyone asked about this, it seems, there is nothing that can not be said, besides, what the elder said is reasonable, the farmers in Japan are indeed very miserable, but who cares about their attitude, how to look at it, all countries, the people who decide their fate, are alive in the capital.

"Okay, Elder, Satoka has followed her mother since she was a child and lives in Hirado, where Japanese ......"

Zheng Lixiang talked eloquently, which can be regarded as a basic description of Japan, and it is better to contact it in person than to fly over it hastily with a spaceship and watch it, or watch Japanese cartoons hundreds of years later.

Later generations naturally regarded the United States as the most advanced in their study of the Japanese, but after all, they were manipulating Japan as a colony, and even the air supremacy of the capital Tokyo was in the hands of the US military stationed in Japan, and the study of the Japanese national character was at a high level.

It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to read it.
