Chapter 701: Personally in battle

The sky was getting dark, and the lanterns in the line were lit one by one by the eunuchs, giving off a dim yellow color. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Wang Xuan and Li San were excited because of Xiao Ming's analysis, Wang Xuan's face turned red, "What the emperor said is that most of the grain and grass of the Japanese Kingdom arrived in Goryeo by sea from the Japanese mainland, as long as the sea grain route of the Japanese State was cut off, the army of the Japanese State in Goryeo would be trapped to death, and the emperor wanted to establish a treaty port in Goryeo, so he could use this to negotiate with Goryeo and the Japanese State, so that he could benefit from both sides." ā€œ

Xiao Ming smiled, for him, all he needed was the market in Goryeo, and he had no interest in occupying Goryeo.

Because once it gets caught in a land war, the consumption of the war will be enormous, and now that the industrialization of the six states has just begun, he does not have enough materials and money to occupy a country.

In fact, in the colonial wars of the Age of Maritime Navigation, none of the Western powers completely occupied the colonies.

In fact, they only set up a small number of ports in the colonial countries, signed unpacifying treaties, used these ports as export points for goods, and then threatened the colonial countries with force to formulate policies that suited their interests.

During their occupation, they generally did not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the colonial powers, but only supported the powerful who represented their own interests to rule the colonies.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, such as India's Ah San, which has completely become a British colony, but even so, Britain does not participate in too specific national affairs, but only sucks the economic resources of this region back to Britain like blood, and the national management is still too lazy to pay attention to it.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of colonization is to extract economic benefits from the colonized country, not to occupy the land, and once the cause and effect are reversed, it may only take to get into the quagmire of war in one country to drag the country down.

The longer he stayed in the position of emperor, the more Xiao Ming realized the limit of a country's strength, and it was already very difficult to project power on the whole world, and it was even more difficult to occupy it comprehensively, so he decided to first adopt British-style colonization and carry out primitive capital accumulation, after all, nothing could be done without money.

After pondering for a while, he said to Wang Xuan: "It's still early, if you don't fight, neither Goryeo nor the Wa Kingdom will talk to the Great Yu State, you let the secret guards in Goryeo keep an eye on the dynamics of Goryeo and send the information back at any time." ā€

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Xuan nodded.

After talking about the secret guards, Xiao Ming continued to ask, "How did you investigate the shelling of the Intrepid?" ā€

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials sent back information from Nagasaki's eyes, and the day after the intrepid was shelled, a British battleship arrived in Nagasaki, the Japanese warship, which was said to be called the Duke."

"Sure enough, I went to the Wa country." Xiao Ming looked at the Wa Kingdom on the map, the history is always strikingly similar, and now Xiao Ming deeply understands this.

With the help of the Dutch, the Japanese have built up a powerful firearms force, and now the British have once again extended an olive branch to the Japanese with only one purpose, that is, to use the Japanese to balance the equilibrium in East Asia.

"Have you heard about their specific cooperation?" Xiao Ming asked.

"No, the British went ashore and went directly to meet Yamada Nobunaga, and we couldn't get in touch." Wang Xuan has some regrets, but the eyes of the Wa Kingdom are often maritime merchants, and it is impossible for them to go deep into the high-level.

"Your secret guards should increase their investment in the Japanese country, and even establish a professional fine work, and even let some Japanese people act as fine work by buying." Xiao Ming reminded.

In modern times, the Wa State is very good at espionage warfare, and between each war, the Wa State will always send a large number of spies to collect intelligence.

It is said that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the maps of the Japanese people were even more detailed than the maps of the national army.

Coming from modern times, Xiao Ming naturally couldn't lose this advantage to the Japanese State, so he had to start a spy war in advance and collect all-round intelligence about the Japanese State.

Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed, he said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials also want to, but this silver ......"

Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed when he heard this, although he had a lot of ideas, he couldn't do it without sufficient money.

Thinking of this, he became more and more determined in his ambition to run industry and colonize the world.

Coughing, he said to Wang Xuan, "I will try to transfer some silver taels to you." ā€œ

Wang Xuan showed a happy look at this time.

gave Wang Xuan a reassurance, Xiao Ming looked at Li San, and he said; "Li San, this change will be implemented immediately, you are staring at a few giants in Qingzhou, if they are playing any kind of moth, you will report to me immediately. "

"Yes, Your Majesty. Li San nodded.

reported the information, and the two congratulated Xiao Ming again before going back, and now the news of the queen's birth of a dragon son has spread all over Qingzhou City.

At this moment, officials and businessmen of all sizes in Qingzhou kept sending people to congratulate them, and gifts were sent to the line one by one.

After a busy day, Xiao Ming was also a little tired, now that it was getting late, he went back to the dormitory, Fei Yue'er was a little weak now, he wanted to accompany her more.

After a night's rest, Xiao Ming got up early the next day, and Fiji and Pang Yukun were responsible for implementing the reforms, and his task was to promote the establishment of the industrial system and the development of science and technology.

For him, the development of Qingzhou, whether it is military science and technology or civilian science and technology, is deformed, because everything in the past five years is just serving the military, which has caused industrial capacity to gradually keep up with the development of science and technology.

For example, this smokeless gunpowder, although Lu Tong has mastered the production method, but this kind of production is still only in the laboratory production method, and the real industrial production has not yet been realized.

In addition to this smokeless gunpowder, many chemicals in the laboratory cannot be mass-produced now, and this time Xiao Ming's method is to establish corresponding workshops one by one to achieve industrial production under steam power.

This includes not only the production of chemical materials, but also the industrial production of firearms and machinery.

After all, now the West has also developed a steam engine, and with the industrial base of Western countries, once the steam engine is delivered, the assembly speed will be very fast.

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Ming changed into casual clothes and went to the glass workshop, and at the same time he made a list of the current science and technology in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

This list is currently the science and technology that Western countries have but the Great Chongqing Country does not have, and now Lin Wentao and others are busy with their feet not touching the ground, and there are some things that can only be done by him, the emperor, himself, and he is relatively good at it.

The first place he went to today was the glass workshop, and a few days ago he told the glass workshop to produce a tool, and now it should be made at this time.

Although this thing has nothing to do with war, it is very beneficial to the development of science and technology.
