Section 1 Constitutional Monarchy (Unbanning Chapter)
War has always been a heavy topic. Fresh lives passed away quietly in the cruel battle! However, in the face of the interests of the nation and the country, and in the face of the blood debt of the country and the nation, what better choice is there than to use blood to cleanse?
Just when the Qing army relied on the betrayal of traitors in Jiangnan to capture Shenzhou City, Murong Zhuo's "Tsushima Meat Grinding Battle" on Tsushima Island went smoothly, and the Nine Ghosts rushed to send another wave of more than 8,000 land soldiers and horses. This time, after almost no regular fighting, it was completely annihilated by the "Salvation Army".
After identification, some were shaved heads, while others were "wooden" and awaited their fate while doing hard labor. Here, the ongoing act of repaying debts also foreshadows the eventual punishment of the Manchu race, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han Chinese.
The sky in the waters near Tsushima Island is surprisingly clear in this cold, solemn season. The waves above the sea are also relatively calm, making it a great place to go out and about.
A large ship of about 20 meters or so slowly drifted along the rugged coast of Tsushima Island. Looking at its appearance, it is a little weird.
Judging from its ship type, there is no doubt that it should be the kind of warship known as the "Hyungui Iron Ship" unique to the Korean navy, and the change in its appearance is surprising.
The once mighty dragon head at the bow has been replaced by a long outstretched smalign mast, two triangular foresails carry a small canopy breeze, and the rectangular quadrangular sails that were once very oriental on the elongated mainmast are gone. On the mast are rolled up white soft sails.
That's right, it is one of the first twenty "turtle iron ships" to be renovated at the Shenzhou military base on Tsushima Island. Due to its wide hull, it is more suitable for short-distance transportation, so all but this one have been converted into transport ships.
The scale-like iron armor on the back of the "Turtle Iron Ship" was completely removed, and all weapons were removed. A deck for cargo was added, and the "manpower-driven" and "night lighting" systems unique to Shenzhou City were used, and the rudder was replaced by a lightweight steering wheel.
These small boats were responsible for transporting large quantities of crops from places such as Seoul and Busan, where ore was transported from northern Korea, and each wharf was stocked with ready-made supplies and replacement crews. Weather permitting, they travel between their bases in North Korea and Tsushima.
Due to the joint efforts of both parties, a large number of minerals and agricultural products have already prepared the first batch of materials, which will be brought back to Shenzhou City by the "Minjiang-class" ship that has returned to the country. These supplies were the first payment of "advanced equipment" by North Korea to Shenju City.
However, this ship was obviously not used as a cargo ship, and at the moment on its deck, the iron palladium of the barbecue was emerging with the smell of meat. The pork chops coated with honey and grilled over charcoal to a golden brown ooze drops of oil, making a "sizzle" sound in the charcoal fire.
yes, it's a rare day of leisure. Yue Xiaofei, who was sitting comfortably in a chair, put his feet on the side of the boat, and the fishing rod in his hand stretched out to the sea. On the small table next to him were his cigar case, wine jug, and other miscellaneous items, and it was obvious that his attention was not on the movement of the fishing rod.
Sitting next to him was the equally absent-minded chief of staff of the "Tsushima Demon Wolf" Zhuo, and on the other side was the newly enthroned Emperor Hyojong of Joseon, Yi Hao, who had recently felt excited about his new army.
"Big brother, according to what you say, the monarch doesn't have to care about anything, as long as he practices his signature? If everything is left to the prime minister, won't he become a powerful minister, or will it be difficult for him to rebel? ”
Since Li Hao arrived at the Tsushima base of the "Shenzhou Army", everything he has seen and heard has made him refreshed. Regardless of their weapons, not to mention their equipment, even the women in Shenzhou City he saw here already made him feel surprised.
So in the days since he came here, he has been playing the role of a good student who is diligent and inquisitive.
As usual, Yue Xiaofei had a cigar in his mouth that almost never left his mouth, and a wine jug in his other hand, as for the fish rod, it seemed that he had never intended to pay attention to it.
"It's easy, it's easy to be weird! You are a fool when you are a member of parliament, and you don't look at how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, and the term of office is only a few years, if you want to rebel, you have to do it during the term of office, whether you have enough time, this is really a very difficult question! Besides, he is probably not the only one who wants to be prime minister, will he be able to run for election in the next election? So why be nervous?
Besides, the army is not under the control of the prime minister, the monarch is the supreme commander of the armed forces of the whole country, and when it comes to mobilizing troops, without the signature of you, the commander-in-chief, the order is invalid! How can he rebel without soldiers? With your forbidden army and the new army to rebel, you can't do it with a big sword and a spear. ”
Murong Zhuo pricked up his ears, he had just heard a new term "constitutional monarchy", simply put, the monarch only needs to do two things well, one is to listen to the reports of the prime minister and the chiefs of staff of the various armies who are directly responsible to him, and practice the other two words "agree" one by one!
Ever since the monarch of Joseon had followed his eldest brother to Tsushima, the two of them had been talking about statecraft every day, in addition to the necessary official duties. At first, Murong Zhuo thought that this "silly boy" Yue Xiaofei had really opened his mind, or whether he was already thinking about how to be an emperor in the future.
Who knew that after listening to it for a few days, Murong Zhuo was difficult to find other words to describe his mood except for surprise. The so-called statecraft that Yue Xiaofei talked about to Li Hao was purely to teach an emperor how to be lazy and leave everything to the people below to do, especially the prime minister who is estimated to be tired to death.
Li Hao touched Yue Xiaofei with his wine jug, drank the wine into his mouth, and then sincerely admired: "Big brother's method is really clever!" Use the news and the court to look at the parliamentarians, use the parliamentarians to look at the officials, and finally the officials in turn command the people, everyone checks each other and restricts each other, if it is feasible, then the emperor can be easily tight! It's just that after the power is dispersed in this way, if there is something in the court in the future, they will blame each other one by one, who will be in charge of this matter? ”
"Who cares, of course it's the Prime Minister! Otherwise, what would he spend so much money to hire him for? Besides, if you want to manage things, you have to have real skills. Brother, think about it, what was wrong with everything in the past? The problem of North Korea and the Ming Dynasty is the same, that is, the layman is in charge of the insider, whether it is the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household or the Ministry of War, they are all a bunch of old masters who can only 'do the same', counting on them to fight, counting on them to work, they have to know how to do it......"
