Chapter 941: Five-Year Plan
"Brother Liu is leaving?" Zhu Cihong's voice was a little unnatural.
"Yes, there was news from Dongying yesterday, there was a mess over there, and I have to go back." Liu Honggradually said very calmly.
"What's the panic? How can that little Dongying be worth a trip to Brother Liu, I can give an order to mobilize 200,000 Praetorian Guards to cross the sea for Brother Liu! Zhu Cihong said very seriously.
"Look, you're so awesome, why don't you let me go? Da Ming is now on the right track, as long as you don't make a stupid move, no one can subvert Da Ming. Liu Hong gradually lost his breath.
In fact, he knew what Zhu Cihong was worried about, and he had always been the most important thing for him to make decisions on behalf of Zhu Cihong.
Even later, Liu Hong gradually returned to Zhu Cihong, but because he was still in the capital, Zhu Cihong always felt that something had happened and someone was carrying it for him.
However, now Liu Hongjian is suddenly leaving, which makes Zhu Cihong a little confused, but this is completely unnecessary in Liu Hongchuan's opinion.
Zhu Cihong already has all the virtues of Mingjun, he knows that he knows people well, knows that the people are the sky, and history is the mirror, and under the influence of himself and Uncle Chongzhen, he must be a good emperor who is diligent and knows how to introspect.
His stay here will only affect Zhu Cihong's performance, and will only make hundreds of officials in the world uncomfortable, his fief is in Dongying, and his future life will also be in Dongying.
The last thing he could do for Daming was to transform Yamato, to wipe out the shame more than two hundred years later, and to guard the east gate for Daming for generations.
Zhu Cihong was silent for a moment, and suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.
"Wang Erxi, prepare some leeks with Shang Shan Jian and I will drink two cups with King Qin."
As the emperor's imperial institution, in less than two quarters of an hour, a table of dishes was placed in the main hall, and Liu Hongjian and Zhu Cihong sat opposite each other and were silent.
Liu Honggradually didn't know what to say, Zhu Cihong didn't know how to say, and in the end, Liu Honggradually picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Zhu Cihong.
"I may need to borrow some men and a detachment from you when I leave." Liu Hong gradually thought for a while.
Dongying currently has about 30,000 Praetorian Guards, and when Liu Hongjian left there, he only gave one mission, which was to erase history.
To put it more broadly, it is to erase all the memories of the so-called Yamato nation, including but not limited to burning history books, changing Dongying language to Daming language, changing kimono to Hanfu, in addition to hairstyles, architecture, etiquette, surnames, and so on.
If you want to subtly change a nation, it will take a hundred years or more, but Liu Hong gradually knew that he would definitely not live that long, so he chose a shortcut.
In short, it is six words: those who follow prosper and those who rebel perish.
It's just that he underestimated the determination of the Dongying people to resist, and the latest news came yesterday that over the past six months, the 30,000 Praetorian Guards have gone through more than 100 battles and killed no less than 300,000 Dongying people.
Rao is so, the Dongying people still refuse to give in, they gather sand in various parts of the Dongying to form a tower, because the Dongying is surrounded by the sea, and the Dongying people do not know through the merchants of which country to get the arms.
Zheng Lin, Wen Biao and others knew that Dongying's rebellion was likely to turn into a protracted war, so they immediately asked the capital for help.
The crux of the problem is actually the sailor, as long as there is a sailor, you can blockade the port of Dongying, blockade the port, the Dongying people will not be able to buy arms, without arms, the Dongying people will not be the opponent of the Ming Praetorian Guard based on bolt-action rifles only by swords and guns.
"Brother Liu needs something, just say it, as long as I have it, I will never frown." Zhu Cihong raised his wine glass after speaking, and Liu Hongjian also picked it up and touched him.
"I need at least 10,000 craftsmen from all walks of life, 1,000 talents, 1,000 people, and another 20,000 Praetorian Guards, and a detachment of 50 warships, of which 15 are the main warships.
In addition, all the materials needed by Dongying in a short period of time need to be provided by Daming, of course, I will give money. Liu Hong gradually put down his wine glass and said.
"I said, as long as you want, as long as I have, I will never frown, Brother Liu, it will hurt your feelings when you talk about money, and I can afford it." Zhu Cihong glanced at Liu Hong and said.
All along, Zhu Cihong has been abiding by Chongzhen's will, never doing the thing that the bird is hiding from the bow, and trying his best to keep Liu Hong in Daming.
But in the end, who would have thought that it was Brother Liu who disliked him first, and he had to give money for the materials, which made Zhu Cihong very uncomfortable.
"Don't say that, the first emperor treated me well, and you are also one of the few friends I have in this world, but one yard is one yard.
I plan to give you all the shares of Xishan Shanghe, Xishan Shanghe is another powerful killer weapon in your hands, if the Ming currency is recognized by the Europa people in time, it is the time for Xishan Shanghe to show his talents, so it should be handed over to you, and the right to be used as the cost of the materials needed by Dongying in the next few years. Liu Hong gradually said.
In fact, this transaction Liu Hongjian must be a huge loss, Xishan Shanghe's current business has spread all over the world, with an annual profit of at least 30 million taels, which is not worse than the Zheng family a few years ago.
But sometimes it can't be counted like this with his own family, and exchanging Xishan Shanghe for Daming's support for Dongying in the next few years is enough for Liu Hongji.
As for silver, the Iwami Silver Mine in Dongying provided 70% of the output of all of Asia, not to mention that in a few years, Liu Hong was able to rebuild a merchant group.
Zhu Cihong originally wanted to refute, but seeing that Liu Hong was so decisive, he stopped arguing, as long as the bond between them existed, they would be brothers forever, and there was no need to quarrel over these trivial matters.
"Yes, I agree to your resignation as regent, and Brother Liu's materials and manpower can be taken from Daming, but I have one request." Zhu Cihong raised his eyebrows and said very simply.
"Oh? What are the requirements? Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zhu Cihong and said.
"You also know that the Ming Dynasty is too big, from Moscow to Vladivostok, the territory is tens of thousands of miles, and from Beijing City to Qiongzhou is also 5,000 miles.
Yes, I can agree to any of your requests, but in the future, Brother Liu will come to the capital every few years to gather and discuss important matters with me. Zhu Cihong stood up, walked to the huge Daming map on the wall, looked at the map and muttered.
"No problem, even if you don't say it, I'll come back often." Liu Hongjian is also very crisp.
In the general direction, after all, he has hundreds of years of experience accumulation than Zhu Cihong, and he knows the overall development direction of industry and science and technology.
Zhu Cihong is very smart, he can be regarded as finding the right person.
To put it bluntly, it is to formulate a general plan according to the national conditions, and then Zhu Cihong leads the courtiers to work towards the goal, and in the vernacular, have you heard of the five-year plan?
"Then let's tentatively set it for five years, and you and I will get together once every five years." Liu Hong gradually said again.
"Yes, when does Brother Liu plan to leave?" The matter has come to this, Zhu Cihong said very simply.
"In two months!" Liu Hong gradually made a rough estimate of the time it would take to collect manpower and materials, and said in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll send you off in person when the time comes!"
