Steel Dynasty - Chapter 971

[Chapter 965 Huge Plan]

Walking out of the official office, the endless ocean filled your eyes, with layers of white waves stirred up by the strong wind.

The warships of Dayu are neatly arranged in the military port, which is grand and spectacular.

“Don’t be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs. The country of Chongqing has been a true reflection of this sentence in the past ten years. I understand your concerns, but the development of science and technology in Europe is not scary, because they have been developing. In the end, The terrible enemy always comes from within, which is what we need to be vigilant about.”

Xiao Ming looked back at Qian Dafu and said word by word. After sorting out contemporary historical data over the years, he discovered that the destruction of the Central Plains Dynasty was actually the end of the world. In our own hands, foreign enemies are actually just taking advantage.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the technological level of the Ming Dynasty was much higher than that of the Qing army, but it was still defeated.

The fundamental reason is that Ming Dynasty has lost its effective management of the country. One of the most obvious problems is taxation.

After all, even a single tax cannot be guaranteed to the country. It is conceivable how low the country’s organizational capabilities are.

Taking history as a mirror, Xiao Mingcai made up his mind to completely eradicate the previous shortcomings of the country of Chongqing and carry out reforms to transform the country of Chongqing into a new one.

In ten years, he did it, and now the Kingdom of Chongqing is prospering and is restoring the glory of the past empire.

However, the smooth sailing situation did not let him relax. He has been watching the changes taking place in the country to respond at any time.

Now, in his opinion, apart from technology, the biggest change in the country of Chongqing is the increasingly active thinking of the people.

The renewed Confucianism certainly occupies an important position in Dayu, but with the beginning of cultural renaissance, the trend of a hundred schools of thought contending has become more and more obvious. Nowadays, Qingzhou has signs of rising, whether it is Legalism, Mohism or Huang-Lao School, and it also has modern Cultural humanistic ideas have also attracted many supporters.

The most dangerous thing among them is the resurgence of the idea of the Celestial Empire. For hundreds of years, it is precisely because of this idea that the people of Dayu, from the powerful to the common people, have focused on internal fighting.

For Xiao Ming, this is definitely not a good phenomenon. If the country consumes each other internally, it will lack the motivation to make progress.

Therefore, he needs to hang a sharp sword over the head of Dayu from top to bottom, and this sharp sword is the enemy.

Because of this, he now maintains a calm attitude towards the development of European countries. At present, he still needs these enemies to put a tight spell on the officials and people of Dayu.

After all, the industry in Great Chongqing has just started, and the whole country needs to maintain high morale.

The goal of defeating the enemy is an inexhaustible source of fighting spirit.

Qian Dafu looked at Xiao Ming. Now he could not tell more and more what the emperor was thinking, but fortunately, no matter what Xiao Ming was thinking, Dayu Kingdom was always on the right path.

“The emperor’s words are very interesting, but I don’t understand them very well.” Qian Dafu said with a wry smile, “But I believe that the emperor’s words must be right.”

Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head. This Qian Dafu is becoming more and more mischievous. .

He no longer paid attention to Qian Dafu, but headed towards Dengzhou.

His purpose of coming here this time has been achieved, and there is no need to stay in the military port. After all, Xie Yuan and others still have many things to deal with after the war, so he does not need to participate.

He returned to Dengzhou City and rested for a morning. In the afternoon, he, Qian Dafu and others took a steam engine locomotive and arrived in Qingzhou in the evening.

At this time, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet were already waiting at the station, and before Xiao Ming left, he notified them of the news of the Dengzhou naval battle.

They all wanted to know some exact news at this time.

Returning to the palace with everyone, Xiao Ming handed Dick’s confession to Pang Yukun in the imperial study and asked him to read it to the ministers.

After Pang Yukun finished reading, everyone’s expressions became a little solemn.

“These two damned scoundrels have ruined all ten years of our country’s development in the hands of these two thieves.” Niu Ben said angrily: “Your Majesty, these Europeans dare to attack our military port now. How many more will I give them?” In ten years of development, wouldn’t they become even more aggressive?

“Yes, it’s a pity that Europe is too far away from here, otherwise we would have to send troops to destroy them,” Luo Quan agreed.

Pang Yukun pondered for a moment and then said: “Two generals, don’t worry. In yesterday’s battle, they lost all their wealth in Nanyang. This is a good thing for the country of Chongqing. We can take this opportunity to seize their colonies.”

“What Pang Shoufu said is absolutely true. Their rash start of war gave us an excuse to attack. It can be said that divisions are famous.” Fiji stroked his beard and laughed softly.

Xiao Ming’s eyes swept across everyone’s faces, and he was very satisfied with the reactions of officials and generals. At least in their hearts, Europe would be a powerful enemy of the Chongqing Kingdom.

Walking towards the world map in the study room, Xiao Ming said: “We naturally want to seize the colonies in Southeast Asia, but our threat is not this. Tsarist Russia is an extremely dangerous enemy. Now Britain is selling steam engines in Europe, and Tsarist Russia is also a customer. This can This is not a good thing, and after we captured Yaksa, the Golden Horde was ready to move and was cooperating with Tsarist Russia to defeat our attack in the north, and a brand new country has been born here, which is also bad news.”

Xiao Ming .

The place pointed at is the North American continent.

According to Dick’s words, Britain has basically given up the war against North America, but it still maintains hostility and targets it everywhere.

Somewhat similar to history, this country actually chose the United States as its name because an Englishman named this continent the United States when he discovered it, and the established United States of America still adopted this name.

Xiao Ming was a little confused when he learned the news, but the first time he learned that the United States was in a civil war was three years ago. Based on this calculation, the American War of Independence should be over.

Of course, Xiao Ming is still a little unhappy, because North America is known as the land of heaven. Founding a country on this land will enjoy huge geographical advantages, and the resources on this land are also rich.

Pang Yukun, Niu Ben and others looked at the country marked by Xiao Ming. They did not understand why Xiao Ming attached so much importance to a newly established country.

“Your Majesty, is there anything special about this country?” Pang Yukun couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes, from now on we must pay attention to this country, and we must not give it a chance to become stronger. Now you all understand that the world is a dangerous jungle, and the law of the jungle is the rule of survival. We must use our current advantages to prepare for the future. It will take hundreds of years to lay the foundation for development.”

Xiao Ming said loudly that after the emergence of electricity, the internal combustion engine will be the next research and development target of Great Chongqing, and in this way, oil will become an extremely important resource.

In later generations, his country was plagued by oil. He had to learn his lesson and from now on he would have oil firmly in his hands, and this would be a huge plan.
