Chapter 436 The Wave of Progress
Author: The beggar
"Stop shaking, sit down, sit down, what a big deal! Why haven't you made any progress after several years?"
Zhu Tianxing, who was left to take power in North Korea by Zhu Youjian because of his good name, looked disgusted.
Being left alone in North Korea is frustrating enough.
In the past, everyone helped this man together, but now he has to do it alone.
"Where is the courage of a man to sail a ship and recruit pirates? Liaodong will provide you with food, and you have a fleet that can go north for refuge at any time. The Black Flag Navy can also support you. All you need to do is mobilize the hungry people in North Korea and go north.
Just get to Yaluwei and you're done, how simple it is!"
Zhu Tianxing himself didn't know what he said.
After Li Hao came to power, North Korea was supported by the Ming Dynasty, and then was attacked by the Black Flag.
With the combination of the two, Li Hao's reform of the military system was quite effective.
The main purpose is to give the untouchables at the bottom a chance to become middle-class people through military exploits.
At the same time, Li Hao carried out extremely strict supervision and rectification of the training supervisors who guarded Seoul, and the local fifth battalion also slightly strengthened the supervision of armaments.
The combat effectiveness of the North Korean army has slightly improved.
Ding Youbu's navy was said to have 10,000 men, but in fact most of them were shipwrights, sailors and cannon fodder. Less than 700 of them could barely be considered combat soldiers, and 500 of the 700 were musketeers with a certain degree of training.
The remaining two hundred people have iron armor.
If this small force wants to start an uprising in the narrow Korean peninsula, they will be surrounded and killed if they make the slightest mistake.
"Cheer up, it's done this time. You will be a general of the Black Flag Navy. Maybe you can also get a title. It will be very prestigious if this is passed back to your hometown. Try it first. Anyway, you will only show up.
Noodles, if you don’t push yourself, you don’t even know what you’re made of!”
When Ding Youbu heard this, he wanted to cry but had no tears.
It would be better not to say this.
Your group of Jin Yiwei got mixed up with the barbarians, and now they have directly joined the barbarians. Before, it was fine for the barbarians to follow the Ming Dynasty, but now the barbarians have joined the slaves! You have joined the barbarians and joined the slaves!
Is that true!?
If you spread this news back home, your family will be stabbed in the back!
What a pirate ship, how could it reach this stage!
Thinking that this group of traitorous Jin Yiwei could still contact the Ming Dynasty and still contact his family, Ding Youbu could only grit his teeth and get into trouble.
"Then I'll give you porridge as you say!"
Slow work produces careful work.
There is no problem in using it for rebellion.
He gave out porridge without permission, and then asked several counties to open warehouses to release grain to help the victims without authorization. Then he exposed the corruption of county officials during a dispute with local officials, and in anger used military force to whip civilian officials. It was impossible for the Joseon court not to convict him.
This established an official to protect each other.
If you spread some rumors at this time, no matter what the occasion is, King Bu or King Qing can arrange it.
And when the rebellion had just begun its first stage.
The autumn harvest in Liaodong is only a little more than halfway through.
But the harvest on the government-owned farms is coming to an end.
During the non-stop harvesting for nearly sixteen hours a day, the slaves only needed to use bicycles and horse-drawn carts to transport the harvested crops, such as wheat straw and corn stalks.
Then, after a field has been completely harvested, they can still pick up the missing wheat and rice in the wheat field, dig out the potatoes and sweet potatoes that have not been torn clean, and chase some unexpected things such as rabbits, voles, and pheasants hiding in the field.
surprise.
Because they were able to keep half of the crops when picking up, so everyone worked very hard.
Zhu Cijiong loves watching this.
As a prince who was born noble, he liked the way his people were so surprised and grateful for small favors under his protection.
"In just five years, my father created a prosperous scene comparable to Wenjing Zhenguan in the wild and cold land of Liaodong."
There was a bit of pride in his words.
It should be said that after the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed and he was captured, now Zhu Cijiong has regained the spirit of "my father is the best in the world" after a long absence.
"In the future, when the farm under my Black and Blue banner is completed, the peasants and slaves under my banner can also pick up wheat behind the harvester and catch hares and pheasants! Teacher, let them keep 30% of what they pick up, which is less than what my father has.
How about 20%?"
Fang Yizhi just nodded.
Heilanqi's affairs were handled first, and the farm was also arranged, but he was the one who sent several letters to Heihongqi.
No matter how His Majesty arranges things later, both ends must be taken care of first.
"stop!"
At a glance, several people were standing outside the small pavilion. They showed excellent qualities, so they were assigned by Zhu Youjian to guard the clan members, the wartime generals, the expatriates and local officials. The Xianghei guards stopped several people who wanted to join in.
The slave workers came up.
Several North Korean boys and girls wanted to present to Zhu Cijiong some male pheasants with beautiful tail feathers they had caught in the fields.
"Not bad! Watch and enjoy!"
This made Zhu Cijiong even more happy.
The eunuch serving Zhu Cijiong said at the right time: "Your Highness, the watch has been running for half an hour."
"Ah? Then follow me to the fields quickly, and you must learn how to operate the harvester!"
Before that, Zhu Cijiong and his men carried rice for a while.
Not much work to do.
But with the experience of being captured, Zhu Cijiong was able to lower his body and do it.
Of course, rather than carrying bags, he prefers to sit on top of the harvester and operate it under the cautious guidance of workers.
In other words, in Liaodong today, everyone likes to touch a harvester or a bicycle.
Check out all the new gadgets that suddenly appeared on the market overnight.
Cheaper cotton and gauze than before.
It's a little expensive, but it is said that it can last all winter and can be eaten until next summer.
Due to the abundant food production, various by-products and snacks are rapidly derived.
Simple tricycles began to be sold to the private sector, as well as relatively more expensive tricycles with transmission devices.
There are a large number of expensive but extremely transparent glass products, as well as telescopes, pocket watches, flintlock muskets and other exquisite gadgets sold to the middle and upper classes.
At the same time, in terms of military industry, with food comes money, and the military industry is also operating rapidly.
The chest plate armor, which is cheap and reliable and can be put on the market with just a layer of paint to show one's identity, and the plain-made hat helmet which is equally simple to make, were put on the market and soon attracted the favor of various banners. Wearing a cotton robe over the head is more convenient than rivets.
Cotton armor is reliable.
Even after removing some of the nail pieces from the cloth armor, you can put one on top.
Of course, the most important firearms industry has also successfully settled in Shenyang.
Black Gun has begun mass production, and the first batch of samples has been successfully tested.
Carron cannons are still being drilled, and when winter comes after the autumn harvest, the first batch of products can be trial-fired. As for the red cannons cast by iron fans, they will also be received by various banners in this winter.
Among the many progress and changes.
What Zhu Youjian is most concerned about, and what he feels is most important to the future, is progress at sea.
There is enough steel to support industrial production.
At the same time, there are new choices for materials for manufacturing key main components of ships.
