Chapter 381 Preparation

The plan for the componentization of armaments was put forward. After the Lantern Festival, the Yuanqi Industrial Zone located in Tongzhou, east of the capital, the Yuanqi Industrial Zone at the original Xiaowangzhuang outside the mountains of Nancheng, Henan, and the Jiangnan Songjiang Yuanqi Industrial Zone began to make efforts to enter the mass market. production stage.

Many things are easy to say. It seems that everything can be accomplished with an edict from the emperor. However, behind the edict, even Ying Yi himself was extremely busy during the half-month period from New Year to Lantern Festival.

There is a plan to weaponize components, but what about the production line? In the first half of the first month of the first lunar month, Ying Yi stayed in Yuanqi Hall day and night, rushing with Master Shi's weaponization team to complete the Yuanqi-level production lines required for weaponization before the Lantern Festival. Make one and complete the perfect plan for production line preparation.

After the Lantern Festival, Master Shi's armament componentization team had to continue running. They have to escort the production line prototype to Tongzhou Yuanqi Industrial Zone, conduct preliminary training for the workers in the Yuanqi Industrial Zone, and process the production line here, and then transport the finished component production line to Nanyang and Songjiang. They have to continue to follow and go hand in hand. guidance.

After all, time is very tight. After March, that is, in April, the Liaodong Theater and the Shandong Naval Theater will launch an attack against the Japanese and Japanese. Before the attack, at least half a month should be left for the army to change gear and become familiar with the new equipment. In other words, the three major component industrial zones only have three months.

Fortunately, the entire army is not changing its uniforms, only the Liaodong Theater and the Shandong Naval Theater. A total of 96,000 regular soldiers were re-equipped.

Unless the emperor is fatuous and his ministers are corrupt, the unified imperial system is highly efficient and can be said to be the most efficient among all political systems.

One line, one order, one edict can mobilize all the manpower and material resources in the country. If it were to be replaced by the so-called dish boiling system, let alone three months to complete the change, there would not be enough time to argue.

The military has long been looking forward to the weaponization and replacement of military equipment. During the New Year, the governors of all war zones all mentioned this matter in their memorials to celebrate the New Year. They all want to change their clothes first.

However, the Liaodong Theater and the Shandong Navy had secured a deal. Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu had known the empire's next strategy for a long time and had been preparing for it for nearly half a year. There is no doubt that they will be the first to change their clothes.

As winter turns to spring, the climate becomes warmer. However, the Japanese and Japanese missions who had stayed in the capital for more than half a year felt an increasing sense of urgency.

They didn't know that the empire was recruiting troops, nor that the empire was preparing to change the army's uniforms. However, as time passed, the feeling of urgency did not dissipate in the slightest, but became even more urgent.

First, the monarchs and ministers of the Daxia Empire ignored him, and second, the domestic pressure became more and more urgent. The envoys caught in the middle are like being burned on the fire, how can they not be in a hurry?

In the Rites Inn, Tokugawa Mitsutomo walked back and forth, his footsteps urgent. Compared with when he first came, Tokugawa Mitsutomo's energy and energy had dropped by more than a drop.

"Lord Huang Zongxi, do you have a reply?" Tokugawa Mitsutomo pursed his lips.

Everyone shook their heads.

Tokugawa Mitsutomo's mouth twitched: "Still no reply? Do they have to go to Tsushima Island? Isn't it even possible to allow troops to be stationed?"

Still shaking his head.

"Isn't China claiming to be a country of etiquette and a country with heavenly dynasty? Why?!" Tokugawa Mitsutomo was furious: "Aren't they always generous? It's just trade and nothing else is involved. Why are they holding on to Tsushima? ?!”

Shake his head.

"Baga!" Mitsuto Tokugawa slapped the person next to him and knocked him down: "Trash! They are all trash!"

He walked back and forth, his steps as anxious as his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

One of the very short middle-aged Japanese hesitated for a moment and said: "Young lord, I humbly believe that the Xia Kingdom does not have the sincerity to negotiate. They clearly know that Tsushima Island is the gateway to our country and cannot be ceded, but they bite If you don’t let go, you clearly want us to retreat despite the difficulties.”

Tokugawa Mitsutomo shouted: "Don't I know?! But now we are asking for Xia Kingdom, and if Xia Kingdom doesn't ask for us, what can we do?!"

He took a breath: "If the Xia Kingdom does not issue an order to open the sea, do you know how much profit will be lost every day!? Do you know that because of this matter, the general has been questioned by the feudal lords?! If this matter cannot be resolved, Have you thought about the consequences?!”

silent.

Daxia banned the sea, blocked sea routes and banned trade. The Western barbarians in Southeast Asia were uncomfortable, and the Japanese and Japanese were even more uncomfortable. Although Nagasaki was monopolized by the Tokugawa shogunate, the interests involved were not those of the Tokugawa family, but other daimyo and feudal lords. Maritime trade entered the Japanese from Nagasaki and spread to all Ming and feudal lords. It formed a whole with interests. The Tokugawa shogunate took the bulk and acted as referee, while the other Ming feudal lords gnawed bones and drank soup.

Now that there is no more soup to drink and no more bones to chew, the daimyo feudal lords will naturally seek an explanation from the leading Tokugawa shogunate.

If this matter cannot be resolved, the Tokugawa shogunate will lose their support. How could Tokugawa Iemitsu not be anxious? How could Tokugawa Mitsutomo not be anxious?

Japanese Japanese, Edo.

"I summoned you today. I won't tell you the reason. You all understand." Tokugawa Iemitsu knelt on the couch with a solemn expression: "The Nagasaki matter is not a matter for the shogunate and the family, but a matter for Japan and Japan. They are all closely related. The Xia Kingdom bans sea trade, and I am not the only one who suffers losses. It is not my family’s ability to resolve this matter."

"Your Excellency, General, has been negotiating with Xia Guo. I wonder what Xia Guo means?"

A certain daimyo asked.

Tokugawa Iemitsu said calmly: "Xia Guo wants me to cede Tsushima Island, what do you say?"

"Tsushima?! Impossible!"

After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

"Tsushima is the gateway to our country, how can we cede it? If Tsushima is lost, there will be no barrier on the mainland, and there will be no room for change if someone attacks us."

"Baga, Xia Guo is so ambitious!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu watched indifferently, and waited for the voices of the daimyo feudal lords to fade away before saying: "Therefore, I did not agree and hoped to negotiate with them. However, more than half a year has passed, and there is still no result. The king and ministers of the Xia Kingdom bit Tsushima. If the island won’t be released, what can I do?”

He paused and said: "I am old and weak, and my energy is not as good as before. I have been in a trance these days. It is really difficult to solve this problem. So I called you all here and asked you to teach me a way. Once I go to Da Da For half a year, Nagasaki has been deserted. How much you and I have lost, and how much the Japanese country has lost, are almost unbearable."

There was total silence in the hall.

The Japanese and Japanese economies were extremely dependent on maritime trade. Since the establishment of maritime trade, the silver produced by the Japanese and Japanese has been exchanged for various commodities and luxury goods, which has played a role in promoting the development of the Japanese and Japanese.

But in the process, some harm also comes.

For example, the impact of foreign ideas, the impact of religion, and even the spying of foreign dangers.

Tokugawa Iemitsu has long been dissatisfied with this. In previous years, bans were issued against Catholics, which caused resistance from Catholics and caused some riots.

Although it has calmed down, as long as it is open to the outside world, this hidden danger will always exist.

In fact, for Tokugawa Iemitsu himself, not only was he not uncomfortable, but he was happy when Daxia banned sea trade and blocked sea routes.

Because Tokugawa Iemitsu had long planned to isolate himself from the country.

I was just afraid of being too hasty and causing resistance from the daimyo feudal lords - after all, sea trade involves huge interests.
