I had insomnia all night last night, and I felt dizzy and uncomfortable today. The writing was very stiff. Please forgive me.

Sorry, sorry.

"Sit down, go white." Seeing that love is coming, Zhao Kuo threw away the racket casually, pointed to the rattan chairs next to the door, and sat down carefully with a thick robe.

"Thank you for your majesty to give your seat." Zhu Qingzheng, who was embarrassed in his dress, felt the floating trousers of astronomy and shuttlecocks. "

Zhao Kuo said disdainfully: "What's the point of practicing? It's so hot in summer, so it's bitten to death by mosquito books, and it's so wet in winter, so it's the same with living in gold bricks."

Then he glanced at the servant who brought Zhu Qingzheng, standing at the door with a bag in his hand. It was obviously something that Zhu Qingzheng brought.

"What is that?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Zhu Qingzheng quickly laughed: "Please bring in the gift you gave to His Majesty."

Zhao Kuo took the guy from the servant and saw it, stunned, and said for a long time: "Is this Guanyin or Maria?" Then he weighed it, turned around and smiled, "But it's pure gold, it seems that you have made a fortune in Jiangxi."

"Damn! Isn't this saying I'm corruption?" Zhu Qingzheng quickly explained that it was given to him by his elder brother Chen Kaicai. He didn't believe in Catholicism. Thinking of Zhao Kuoxin, he quickly brought it.

"Chen Kai, this country bumpkin, has made a fortune recently. I have been granting loans for usury. I have granted him a loan at the money house outside the courtyard wall." Zhao Kuo smiled and put the Golden Maria stepping on the table and said, "One day I will ask Bourbon to give it to Napoleon III to curry favor with them. Mom, the interest on loans for usury has been getting higher and higher recently. I obviously feel that I am unreliable, this group of profiteers."

After chatting about nothing, Zhao Kuo began to ask the serious matter: "What's the situation in Jiangxi?"

"Full implement your strategy, successfully take Nanchang, and even defeated Qing Yao 2000 Qingzheng and said seriously: "Siege the city and fight for help."

Of course, this siege of the city is not the blitzkrieg + dumpling book that later generations have made. Nowadays, the Taiping Army focused on "defending danger but not guarding the siege". Their main force set up camps and defenses outside the city; while the Qing soldiers defended the city area, and the city gates were blocked as soon as the enemy arrived. When they entered and exited, they had to use rope books to climb rocks on the city wall. Even if they escaped from the city, they "flocked out", and naturally the reinforcements could not enter. Generally, they set up camps outside the city to watch and attack the city, hoping to pick something missing.

"Siege the city and attack the aid" naturally relies on the worry-free base and supply line to surround the city and attack reinforcements.

Because Zhao Kuo comes from another parallel world, he has an understanding of the Taiping Army and the Eight Banners Green Camp warfare. The former is a bandit. I will throw the city as soon as I fight and throw it, and the supply will be solved on the spot. If there is a ship, I can also exert extremely high mobility. The latter is an old turtle. When encountering the Taiping Army, the defenders immediately huddled in the city to close the city gate and ask for help. The reinforcements are all: My Qing reinforcements existentialism. Or follow you and get angry, or you will be stationed outside the besieged city to scare you----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, the Qing army's tactics were based on the bandits of the Taiping Army. Zhao Kuo definitely didn't want to be blocked at his doorstep, just like the two armies in Jiangnan and Jiangbei outside Tianjin were blocked by 40,000 turtles of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo never thought of being a bandit. His strategy was to take steps in Jiangxi, and all over the place redistributed land of powerful people to win the hearts of the people, and then set up officials at all levels to control the occupied areas, use Ganzhou as the logistics base, and then throw Zhu Qingzheng's sharp knife out.

The Song Dynasty Army was not a bandit tactic, but a turtle tactic. The base was built with a turtle shell. The main force of the enemy in front defeated it with a sharp knife, then siege the city and seized the stronghold, stretched the neck to bite things, and then pushed the whole book over, flattened everything along the way, then continued to stretch out the head and bite, and then continued to flatten it.

When Zhu Qingzheng bites Nanchang, he is full of his own people, and the base is very easy to build. At any time, the Taiping Army in the southern region is more supportive than the Qing army. Even when Zhao Kuo knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was over, it was fine. At that time, it was like a poor man who chose to be interrupted by the prince of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or his legs were interrupted by the Qing Green Camp or the Hunan Army.

Of course, this is just because the Qing Dynasty was extremely unpopular, and the Taiping Army was good to the poor and had good military discipline; in addition, Hong Xiuquan's beautiful "Celestial Land Acre System" had almost never been implemented. Its occupied area was the Qing Dynasty system to collect rent, and the tenants paid it to the landlords, but Zhao Kuo really went to kill the landlords with power, and then distributed his property to the poor. Naturally, the people of Jiangxi who had seen the "short-haired thieves" support the liberation of the Song Dynasty.

After having a base behind him, he had no worries and the supply line was reliable. Zhu Qingzheng surrounded Nanchang City with a lion, attacking the city and fighting reinforcements. He killed whoever came, and was not allowed to watch the city!

Relying on Zhao Kuo's elite soldiers and full supply of supplies in the rear, Zhu Qingzheng naturally made the Qing soldiers in this area frightened and killed the Qing soldiers in Nanchang City in despair. In the end, the city was broken and was taken down.

"How do you think this kind of playing style?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Our army's firepower is a hundred times better than Qing Yao! It's very powerful," Zhu Qingzheng paused for a moment and said, "But this kind of reliance on supplies, shells, muskets, ammunition, food, and supply from ships. It can keep up with consumption in the Ganjiang River."

"The supply problem is silver books. Do you also know how much does a French flower bullet cost? Is that a cannon? It's a silver book! And from iron cannons, to flower cannons, shotguns, to small gunpowder in the book bag are all imported!" Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Fortunately, you fought smoothly, and there is almost no money for siege in my wallet."

"Then Your Majesty means that after taking Nanchang, please take the first one and postpone our army's sharp edge?" Zhu Qingzheng asked.

Zhao Kuo replied: "Yes. Go to strategic defense for a period of time. First, Jiangxi has been divided into Nanchang since ancient times, Ganzhou has two parts, and Nanchang is a prosperous place. To digest it, do not rush to attack; second, it is located at the entrance of Poyang Lake. Jiujiang above is a strategic location of the Yangtze River. It is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is the gate of the north of Jiangxi Province. It is a key water and land transportation in Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui Provinces. It is an important strategic location and has always been a military center that has been fought for by military strategists. I am worried that if I am eager to attack Jiujiang, I will fall into a situation of melee with the Hunan Army, Qing Army, and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. So before that, build your land navy."

"And what I am most worried about is the situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Zhao Kuo said.

"You mean that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will attack us?" Zhu Qingzheng asked without surprise.

"I think this is very likely. We have occupied most of Jiangxi and Anhui now. Anhui is the base area where Shi Dakai worked hard to manage, which is similar to what we did. He supervised the people to build grain books, exported grain rice per mu, and blocked the river and traveled taxes. He also carefully selected officials at all levels."

Zhao Kuo licked his lips: "Since Lao Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Tianjing has been ordering us, either I asked me to cooperate with their Western Expedition. I wanted this and that, I basically ignored their business, that was to give gifts to a few big heads. Now we are connected. If I were the King of the East, I would also try the weight of the Song Dynasty."

"If we are weaker than them, they will swallow us." Zhu Qingzheng nodded. This was not a question.

"So, you must strengthen the construction of Jiangxi base and win the hearts of the people; Yang Xiuqing must come and weigh our strength. If his army comes over, knock him directly and win, and then we will continue to surrender." Zhao Kuo sneered.

"I thought you were going to destroy them." Zhu Qingzheng smiled.

"Why should I destroy him? I'll be king! They are wandering around in the Yangtze River Basin, attracting 40,000 Qing soldiers and a Hunan Army for us. How can I bear to be enemies with them now? Now the chaos in the Yangtze River Basin is as good as possible." Zhao Kuo laughed.

He stretched out a hand and said, "As soon as we founded the country, we cut off Guangdong of the Qing Dynasty. Now we occupy a Jiangxi, that is, we have copied a wallet and a grain bag from the Qing Dynasty. The more chaotic the Yangtze River is, the longer the chaos will be, the more powerful it will be for us. In fact, our military expenditure efficiency is much higher than that of the bastard in Xianfeng, because I don't have as many tigers and wolves under him. My best attitude is to cheat money, embezzle and robbery, rather than to fight. After a while, I'm afraid that the guy from Xianfeng will go to the pawnshop to support his wealthy Eight Banners Green Camp."

"Your Majesty, then I will add to the Gan people on the spot to join the army. If you want to defend, it is not just elite soldiers, but it requires a large number of defensive troops." Zhu Qingzheng asked.

"Okay, you can expand. The taxes in Jiangxi are allocated to you for military pay. A few of them who are in charge of money will be summoned to discuss and discuss." Zhao Kuo said casually: "I plan to appoint Dou Wenjian as the commander of the Pearl River War Zone. You are the commander of the Yangtze River War Zone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am in a state of great difficulty to repay Your Majesty for your gratitude!" Zhu Qingzheng quickly thanked him.

"In addition, I have trained two battalions of "earth" gun battalions, and I am in urgent need of arms. Can I build one of these ammunition and guns in Guangdong? All of them are transported from abroad. It is too slow, too long, and too expensive. We are not short of skilled craftsmen." Zhu Qingzheng said: "My soldiers have the foreign guns I bought from Haijing. They are hand-imitated by our craftsmen. They are 2 taels and 2 and 2 silver books, which are very useful."

"Imitation is not difficult," Zhao Kuo smiled: "A craftsman is enough to knock, but the power of foreign guns is not that it is sharp, but that it is machine manufacturing and standardized accessories!"

"You ask for instructions?" Zhu Qingzheng was confused.

"Foreign guns are easy to break. If they are made by hand, they cannot be standard. They vary in size. If they break them, they can only go to the original master. Even the book bullets must be specially suppressed that suit the caliber of the bullet chamber. Do soldiers have to follow a gunmaker behind them? Suppress the book bullets by themselves?"

Zhao Kuo continued: "The single sharp Western musket is similar to that of our Chinese engineers, but they are mass-produced by machines. If any part is broken, it can be even worse. The bullets are even more consistent. Soldiers can just pick up the bullets with guns. Therefore, 1-to-1, hand-made guns are no less than foreign guns. However, in a battle of thousands of people, one side of the hand-made guns will inevitably be ruined and the supply of firearms cannot be guaranteed."

"I understand." Zhu Qingzheng continued to ask: "So what about buying these machines from foreigners?"

"I have bought equipment and are testing foreign guns and ammunition. And it is a new type of rifle rifle in France developed in 1849 - the Minierifle. It is only 1.4 meters long and weighs 10 kilograms. The range is nearly two miles. If this new gun is used to form a terrestrial gun team. The current crusade can be used to make the old-fashioned brown besse gun into a screening book. The Great Song Dynasty Arsenal Bureau has been operating long ago." Zhao Kuo smiled, but he didn't have much pride.

"That should be a very happy thing, Your Majesty." Zhu Qingzheng saw that Zhao Kuo was not very happy: "Is it because he spent too much money?"

"The gun factory and the shipyard are much cheaper than the shipyard. It's not about the cost of the factory machinery. Last year they spent 30,000 taels of silver books. The shipyard is just too ruthless. My budget is to invest 3 million taels in three years. The French suggested that I build a smaller one, and it also costs less to buy a smaller land..."

Then, the emperor sneered and said, "Even if you have equipment, you still need raw materials. Raw materials for making guns and book bullets, such as iron, and where to import them. Guns, cannons, road machinery, and ships are all iron. The rise and fall of iron is related to the strength and weakness of the country. And iron requires iron ore mining and smelting, which also requires high-quality coal mining."

"So troublesome?!" Zhu Qingzheng was a little stupid.

"This is not the most troublesome and difficult at all!" Zhao Kuo waved his hand suddenly and said, "The most difficult thing is the lack of people! I am now like a foreigner who wants to take the scientific examination of Qing Yao. From calligraphy, Chinese characters to the Four Books and Five Classics, to the Eight-Legend Essays, I have to practice all of them. I lack people! These weapons and equipment are changing with each passing day, and I don't care about what foreign machinery and equipment are bought. Anyway, they rely on imports. It is better to learn fishing than to buy fish. People who buy fish to starve to death sooner or later. Only by fighting fish can they be safe. The only thing I need is Chinese who have this knowledge and can operate! However, training such people is more difficult than training soldiers in the foreign gun team..."

Zhao Kuo circled the air: "There was no soil for Western learning in the Qing Dynasty. If you want to fish, you have to dig a river first!"

"Iron ore is available in Guangdong. But isn't it charcoal to refine iron? Where can I use coal?" Zhu Qingzheng asked.

"All the world, we and foreigners used charcoal to make iron at the beginning," Zhao Kuo explained: "Later, Westerners found that the whole city made iron and earth calligraphy cheaper and more efficient, but it required a reflector and forging and rotary iron craft. You should know that two years ago, the British produced 27 million tons of iron per year! No matter what, if this system was established, let alone making guns and cannons, even carriage wheel books could be made of iron. At that time, iron would be cheaper than soil. "Where is there a coal mine?"

Zhao Kuo sneered: "Jiangxi is not only a grain bag book, but also a rare high-quality coal mine. There is only coal in Pingxiang, Jiangxi on both sides of the river. It has few ash and light sulfonate. It is the most suitable for iron smelting. It is a rare good coal in China (it is the famous Anyuan coal mine area of ​​Zhao Kuo in that era. Under the technological level of that era, the only good coal in the southern riverside area). I have asked the French guys to send people to explore; the coal mine location is in the middle of Ganzhou, Nanchang and Ganzhou, next to the western Ganzhou in western Ganzhou, Hunan.

The government opened the gateway of Hunan and Jiangxi, and it was stalking Wu Chu's throat. No matter when the coal mine could start, you must hold it firmly in your hands. In military terms, it is to resist a sharp knife between the waists of Xiangtan and Changsha. If the Hunan Army goes south to attack Guangdong, you stab it into his waist; if they attack Jiangxi in the east, Dou Wenjian will stab the knife from Chenzhou in Guangdong and their assholes; only they bit each other with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Yangtze River system, we don't care about this."

"And I also know where the big iron ore is, it is on the deserted island of Qiongzhou Prefecture (Hainan Island)!" Zhao Kuo smiled helplessly: "It's just that if you don't have the ability, you can only be a beggar with a golden rice bowl. So now I have established a new art officer, a Chinese technician who learns from foreign technicians. I don't have the ability to make iron and coal, but if I sell iron as a trouser book, I have to pull them up. They are the sharpest weapons in our Song Dynasty."

"I don't understand this except for war, Your Majesty." Zhu Qingzheng touched the sweat on his head and said honestly.

Zhao Kuo smiled and pointed at Zhu Qingzheng's dress and said, "It was Lao Zhou who made it for you? Tell you that their cloth merchants are even more powerful. If they do it well, they can torture the Qing Dynasty, and of course they can also torture me. Foreign guns and cannons are nothing, they are the most terrifying power."

"No way? Are you really good at talismans?" Zhu Qingzheng was stunned.
