"British?"

The King of Chu was confused, he had heard more or less about Europe from the mouths of the Cao family before, but now he found that he knew too little. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Richard did not hide from the King of Chu, after all, the salary given to him by the King of Chu during this period was very generous, so he explained: "In fact, there has long been a steam engine in England, but the steam engine at that time was almost useless, and people in other European countries did not care. ”

Recalling for a moment, he continued; "But no one thought that the British had secretly improved the steam engine long ago, and it was also used in the textile industry, whether it was the Dutch, the Spaniards, or we French were deceived by the British, and we did not know until recently that they sold the steam engine to other countries at a high price, this cunning Englishman."

The King of Chu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he heard this, and he said: "It's just that according to the news that this king has gotten, this Xiao Ming's steam engine is not from England, but made by themselves. ”

"That's what shocked me." Richard frowned, it seemed to him that this matter was a bit unbelievable.

He wouldn't be surprised if this was in Europe, but this happened in the country of Dayu.

"Could it be a secret society? Richard frowned.

The king of Chu became more and more confused, and he said, "What is this secret society? ＂

Richard explained; "This secret society is an association in England, at first this association was formed by several stonemasons, in order to monopolize the new technology they discovered, and later this association attracted more and more people who wanted to monopolize technology, and also put forward the theory that science and technology represent the productive forces, and at the same time they began to invite more and more elite scholars to join this association, and gradually this association became more and more influential, and even our French revolution also had their shadow."

When the King of Chu heard this, he shook his head, "This king doesn't care about this, since the steam engine is so powerful, can you sell some to this king." ”

"Hahaha...... His Royal Highness the King of Chu joked, this steam engine is in short supply even in Europe, and it is thousands of miles away from Europe to here, so it is impossible to sell it to His Highness. Richard rejected the idea of the king of Chu.

The king of Chu was a little angry, and there was more fear in his heart, now Xiao Ming's position is becoming more and more stable, and now he is still trying to implement the law change despite public opinion.

Now that there is a steam engine, he thought that he would surpass Xiao Ming with the help of the power of the French, but now the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

With a snort, the King of Chu turned around and left, no longer saying anything to Richard, but thinking about how to get the steam engine from Xiao Ming's hands.

After the departure of the king of Chu, Richard's expression suddenly became gloomy, in fact, his heart has always been hostile to this British secret society, because technology is the enemy of religion.

If this Xiao Ming is related to this secret society, he will have to be careful, but this also explains why this prince of the Great Yu Kingdom has mastered so many European technologies from scratch.

……

Qingzhou, Xiao Ming in the King of Shu sneezed, rubbed his nose and muttered; "There are really a lot of people who curse this king behind this."

Half a month has passed since the last pilgrimage, and as time goes by, a large number of workshops have begun to be built in the six states, and every day he can receive music from Pang Yukun and Fiji.

For him, everything is moving according to the established plan.

At the same time as the advent of the steam age, the political and military reforms of the six states were also in parallel.

Especially in the army, while establishing the military aircraft department, Niu Ben carried out a major adjustment of the army in accordance with Xiao Ming's plan.

In the past, his armies were all divided by states, such as the Qingzhou Army, the Dengzhou Army, etc., but now, in order to be able to command more uniformly, he and Niu Ben discussed and prepared to establish six standing armies with the names of the previous armies of the Great Yu State.

These six standing armies are the Left Martial Army, the Right Armed Army, the Thousand Niu Army, the Jinwu Army, the Yulin Army, and the Praetorian Guard.

Among them, the Praetorian Guard was responsible for defending the Beijing Division, and the remaining five armies were stationed in the places from one to the other, responsible for garrisoning the border and foreign campaigns.

After this reform, his army will become more regular, and at the same time, he has promoted a number of generals to the post of general.

For example, the current Luo Hong, as the commander of the Jinwuwei, is in charge of Chang'an Mansion and the former Zhao region, Lu Fei is the commander of the Right Armed Army, stationed in Youzhou Mansion, and Luo Xin, as the commander of the Left Armed Army, is stationed in Jinling Mansion.

Qi Guangyi served as the general of the Qianniu Army and was stationed in Gyeongju Mansion to guard against the barbarians, and Lei Ming served as the general of the Yulin Army and was stationed in Youzhou Mansion.

The Praetorian Guard of the Jingshi of this arch guard is personally led by Xiao Ming, of course, he is just a name, and the real unit is still in charge of Niu Ben.

In this way, he completely completed the reorganization of the army, since these six standing armies will be under the command of the Military Aircraft Department, which is directly responsible to him.

Ticking a tick on the fold sent by Niu Ben, Xiao Ming put down the pen in his hand.

The military is a top priority, and he believes that his army will be even more effective after this reform.

After all, now every army is composed of musketeers, artillery, cavalry, chariots and other arms, and it can be said that the comprehensive combat power of each army is very strong.

While he was pondering, Qian Dafu's voice sounded at this time, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Dengzhou." “

"Bring it in." Xiao Ming frowned.

It was snowing heavily, and at this time, Qian Dafu's body was white, and after shaking the snow on his body, Qian Dafu handed over the fold to Xiao Ming.

Opening the fold, Xiao Ming glanced at the contents, and a haze suddenly rose in his heart.

This memo was sent by Yue Yun, and as provided by Wang Xuan, Goryeo actually sent warships to pretend to be Japanese robbers at this time of year with the intention of raiding Dengzhou.

"Your Majesty, the post generals outside here are still waiting, and General Yue Yun is waiting for the emperor's will." Qian Dafu said.

After the Northern War, Xiao Ming followed a policy of recuperation and recuperation, so he reined in the war with the outside world, and Yue Yun naturally knew this.

As the saying goes, when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold, and if the end of the war starts, this is a matter of spending money.

Lifting the pen, Xiao Ming did not hesitate to tick the fold, this cleaning up Goryeo was in his plan, and this time Goryeo was sent to the door by himself.

In his opinion, Goryeo must have suffered heavy losses in the war with the Japanese kingdom, so he thought of making an autumn breeze on his territory.

It's just that this Goryeo was blinded by lard, and he really picked the wrong place, and in his strategy, he finally wanted to completely occupy Goryeo and divide Goryeo into a province.

Coming from the modern era, he naturally knows how much trouble this place will cause him in the future, and it is better to leave it for and for all.
