Chapter 822: I Want to Discuss Something with You (Second Update)
There is still a long way to go for the Daming Naval Division, at least with the current quality of the warship, which is not enough to make the Daming proud.
Although the steel pouring technology has become more and more mature, it will take a long time for the new ironclad ship to be formed and launched, and the kerosene engine has only just been invented.
But compared to this, the army is much lighter, at least there are not too many factors to consider, and the army of the Ming Dynasty is not lagging behind Europa in terms of quantity, quality and armament.
There must be a war with the Rakshasa country, but who can deny that the Rakshasa country can't go by the way to destroy the Netherlands after the battle?
Your Dutch warships are mostly strong and awesome, but do you have what it takes to drive to land?
"Then this is definitely a hearty war!" Zhu Cihong didn't understand the meaning of Liu Hongji's words, this was clearly trying to serve it in a pot, exciting!
"Hehe, Your Majesty, you think about war too beautifully." Liu Hong gradually shook his head and was noncommittal.
But as long as there is a way, Liu Hongjian does not want to start a war, or participate in a war.
In fact, it has been the war that has driven him all these years, driving him to go to war, driving him to kill, and then his soldiers are left with scars, or killed in battle, or crippled, and the soul of the war zone cannot be dissipated for a long time.
"Liu Qing, I want to discuss something with you." Zhu Cihong suddenly said a little embarrassed.
"Oh? What the emperor commands, it is. Liu Hong gradually wondered in his heart, saying that you are the emperor, and at the same time he muttered in his heart, it must not be a good thing.
"When I set out for the Rakshasa, I ...... Can you drive the expedition in person? Zhu Cihong held back for a long time, and his tone was surprisingly soft.
This is probably the most cowardly thing to say in the most awesome capacity.
"No, it's too dangerous, absolutely not." Liu Hong gradually immediately denied the triple.
What are you kidding, do you think the war is a playhouse? also drove the expedition, the old man drove the expedition because the Ming Dynasty had reached the most dangerous moment!
What are you doing now? The Rakshasa Kingdom has not yet reached the realm of the Ming Dynasty, but it has only destroyed one of its neighbors.
"Liu Qing, you promised me, now there is no strong enemy in the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to meet such an opponent as Rakshasa and such a great battle, if I don't go for a while, I feel depressed in my heart, be accommodating, accommodating." Zhu Cihong saw that Liu Hong's attitude was so resolute, but he still refused to give up.
He knew that Liu Hong's disagreement was for his safety, so he didn't get angry, but started to ink.
"The emperor is tired of staying in the palace? You can go out of the palace and go around, where you want to go, the Praetorian Guard will arrange it. Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zhu Cihong, and said in his heart, how can you be an emperor like this, and you have no backbone at all.
"Okay, so when are you going to go on the expedition?" Zhu Cihong said in his heart that it was fun to fight a war in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, but he wisely changed the topic.
"It depends on whether the logistics supply of the household department is not strong, and it will take half a month at the earliest." Liu Hong gradually thought about it.
The armies of the Northeast and Menggu provinces had already been dispatched to Beihai, Xinjiang and other provinces bordering the borders of the Rakshasa Kingdom before he went to Dongying, and now as long as the ammunition, grain and grass supply lines were formed, he only needed to take the Praetorian Guard to Beihai to converge.
"Well, the art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers and horses have not gone before the grain and grass go first, which is not in a hurry.
Listening to the people of Jinyiwei, although the Rakshasa country has captured Chahar, the local herdsmen are not willing to give in, and all parts are resisting, and the Rakshasa country is estimated to have to adjust for a while. Zhu Cihong said with a frown.
"Tomorrow, I plan to go to Tianjin Bao Shipyard to take a look at the new ironclad ship, isn't the emperor depressed, you can go for a ride together." Liu Hongjian proposed.
He is actually quite depressed in his heart, he has fought so many battles, but he was the most cowardly some time ago.
The treasure shipyard must be closely watched, which is related to the hard power of the Ming sailors, and the hard power of the sailors represents the status of the Ming Dynasty in the ocean.
"Okay, I'll inform the celebrant after I am done." Zhu Cihong is very happy, he has indeed not been out of the palace for a long time.
"Inform the celebrant of ceremonies, just go with someone from the Tiger Ben Camp, don't make any big pomp and waste time." Liu Hong gradually criticized with disdain.
is to take you out casually, if you want to engage in so many honor guards, Lao Tzu will not play with you, and you will suffer for delaying time.
The Tiger Camp is the guard battalion of the Imperial City, and most of the soldiers are students of the Martial Arts Hall, and most of them are the elites selected from the Praetorian Guards.
Isn't 6,000 Tiger Camp enough for you to pretend to be forced?
"That's okay, I'll go early tomorrow, can't I even notify the cabinet?" Zhu Cihong waved his flag to admit defeat, and if he wanted to go out to play, he naturally had to be obedient.
"Oh yes, Zhaoren has been arguing about her sister and Qiqige that little girl for the past two days, and she went to your house early this morning." Zhu Cihong said.
"Just go, what's there to worry about a little girl." Liu Hong gradually said indifferently.
"Liu Qing, Zhaoren is ten years old this year, and she is a big girl." Zhu Cihong means something to say.
In the Ming Dynasty, a woman can get married at the age of fourteen, although ten years old is not big, but at this time the woman is sensible early, not to mention that she is a princess.
Liu Honggradually didn't take it seriously, and after leaving the palace, he didn't go home directly, but went to Xishan Shanghe to take out 300,000 taels of silver in his own name, and handed it over to the British duke, so that he could inform the household department to hand it over to the families of the soldiers who died in the war in the name of pension.
The imperial court also has a pension, but these soldiers follow him from birth to death, and their share is considered compensation in their own name.
He wanted to go in person, but he was worried that he would not see the parting of life and death, alas, this damn war.
When Liu Hong gradually stepped into his house, it was already dark, and because he did not send anyone to inform him in advance, the house was still peaceful.
Obviously, Zhu Cihong did not convey the fact that Liu Hong was in danger, and Lao Liang of Jinyiwei wisely chose to conceal it.
Liu Hong crept into the mansion, and whispered to stop the exclamations of his subordinates, and then quietly touched the backyard.
The main room was lit up, and Liu Hongjian could even see his babies walking back and forth through the shadows on the window, he did not choose to go to the main room, but quietly entered the house of Kunxing in the east wing.
There was a candle lit in the room, but the light was slightly dim, and vaguely Liu Hong gradually saw that Kun Xing seemed to be sleeping, and wondered why he didn't turn off the lights when he slept so early.
He wanted to surprise Kunxing, so he quietly climbed onto the bed and hugged the little man in the bed, and took a sip on the face of the person in his arms.
The person in his arms woke up in a daze, touched the coolness on his face and opened his eyes.
"Wow, rascal!" Little Princess Zhaoren shouted with a glare.
