Chapter 574 Breaking the Faith
From a distance, the entire military station looks like a war fortress. According to Zhu Cixuan's original design, the entire military station can be stationed at least 5,000 troops, and the stored materials are enough for 5,000 troops to use for two months.
This is also the first military station in the north of the capital.
According to the plan designed by Zhu Cilang, a military station that can be used for two months can be considered a first-class military station.
In addition, there are second-level military stations, which can only be used by two thousand people for two months.
The size of the third-level military station is the smallest, and it can only be used by one thousand people for two months.
At that time, the entire court will establish ten first-level military stations, thirty second-level military stations, and 120 third-level military stations on the Mongolian grasslands.
Cooperating with the soldiers stationed around, we can definitely hold the Mongolian grassland firmly in our own hands. There are also predecessors who have entered the Mongolian grassland in history.
However, he lacked control over the grassland. Although it was more costly to do so, Zhu Cilang had already made up his mind. From now on, he would have to have the surname Zhu that he did not take any step forward.
"What do you think?"
Zhu Cixuan looked at Wu Keshan and Tu Xietu. At this moment, these two guys were so surprised that they could not speak. They had grown up on the grassland since they were young, and the biggest city wall they had ever seen was the capital.
However, there is only one capital in the entire Ming Dynasty. No matter how majestic it was built, it is very normal.
But this is just a military stronghold on the Mongolian grasslands of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that there are more than a dozen such things. Looking at the city wall that is more than 20 meters high, these two people did swallow their saliva.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The two of them could no longer find any language to express their shock, so they could only use these few words to represent them.
Everyone rode their horses and walked around the soldiers. The circumference was about 2,500 meters, and there were various training facilities and warehouses inside. Of course, the most important warehouses were all underground, which is why thousands of people worked here for a month.
When these generals were happy, all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were feeling distressed. Just a first-level military station had already spent 850,000 taels of silver on them.
If all the warehouses inside were filled, it would be several times the 850,000 taels of silver. His Royal Highness wanted to build ten such things on the grassland, and digging the treasury three feet away was not enough!
"Your Highness the Prince, please see that we have set up eight cannons on each side of the surrounding city wall, all of which can be moved. If the enemy attacks from a single side, we can immediately drag other cannons here, at most half an incense stick. At that time, we can have more than thirty cannons to bombard the enemy at the same time..."
When he arrived on the city wall, Shi Kefa began to introduce the defense capabilities of the military station to Zhu Cixuan. The construction of the military station was of course good, but if it didn't work much, it would be useless.
"For a first-level military station, we usually only station 850 soldiers, and all the remaining positions are empty, which is convenient for us to transport soldiers, but at least 80% of all kinds of materials must be kept."
Zhu Cilang nodded while listening to Shi Kefa's introduction. They were also a beginner. If they were to do everything themselves, they would be really a headache.
"Don't be bitter. I know what your Ministry of Revenue is thinking. All the money is gone from the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue. If you don't leave the money, you will be scared. If you ask you to pay this money, I will probably not be able to sleep in the past two days."
When Zhu Cilang turned around, he happened to see Fan Shenyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, pinching his fingers.
It is obvious that we have to calculate how much money we have. Although there have been many signs in the Ministry of Revenue in the past few days, if we follow His Royal Highness the Prince's method of spending, it may not last long.
His Royal Highness's words made them look sunny again. It was not that these guys were financially guarded. In order to restore normal order in the north, all the money from the Ministry of Revenue was spent on this.
In addition, the original deficit was also quite large. Although there was more income now, you must not refuse to admit the debt you owe. If the Ministry of Revenue Department publicly refusal to pay the debt, will the new policy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be implemented in the future?
Cao Renli looked happily beside him. He knew very well how much money he had. For the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this amount of money was nothing. Isn’t it just ten soldiers stations? That is, eight or nine million taels of silver.
The lottery revenue alone is enough to cover up this thing, not to mention that it will be auctioned off soon, and then it will be millions of taels of silver.
When Wu Keshan didn't see the military station yesterday, he might have had a trace of luck in his heart, believing that Zhu Cilang could not defeat the vastness of the grassland.
Even after Wei Qing and Huo Qubing won, they had to return to the mainland of the Han Dynasty. However, after seeing this, Wu Keshan understood the great talent of His Highness the Crown Prince.
The Beijing North Soldier Station is sixty miles north of the capital. If one is built three hundred miles north, and with this as the center, it will radiate many second- and third-level military stations to hundreds of miles around it, will the Mongolian tribes have the ability at that time?
Even if you can knock out one, there are so many around you. Mongolians often move to places with plump water and grass.
With these troops stations, it means there are various obstacles on the road. If you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, everything will naturally be easy to say, but if you do not surrender, you may not be able to go to other places except your original place.
If the cattle and sheep eat all the grass here and there is no way to migrate, they may have to wait here honestly to starve to death. Will the people still be far away after the cattle and sheep die?
Wu Keshan felt a chill on his back. This was the way to remove the firewood from the cauldron. It turned out that the Han people had also attacked the grassland and had gained the upper hand, but it was only ten or twenty years. After these ten or twenty years, the nomadic peoples will make a comeback. It seems that the prince wants to settle the world at once.
If he had not seen the Ming army and the Ming army station, Wu Keshan also thought that the crown prince was talking nonsense, but at this moment he could see clearly that within at least a hundred years, the Mongolian tribes would not have a chance to make a breakthrough. As for a hundred years, only a hundred years later, the ghost would know...
