Regarding the name of such a continent, Lu Xiangsheng and others chose to default to it.

Although this kind of naming the New World is enough to be recorded in history, don’t forget your identity as a minister.

The emperor is still there, and he is the real emperor of the military and political power of the Takashi. Even if Emperor Chongzhen likes to call that continent the shit continent, then Emperor Chongzhen will be the only one who can do it.

Of course, if you really have such a fucking name, it will be impossible to immigrate there in the future.

"I'm going to immigrate to the shit continent. Are you going?"

"Ah! My dignified Yanhuang Miaose, go to the shit continent? I can't afford to lose this person. Even if I starve to death in the Ming Dynasty, I will never go to the shit continent!"

This situation is not impossible, and the possibility of it is very high.

After considering it for a while, Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no fixed number for the vast continent now. No one can name it. I would like to ask Your Majesty to give it a name?"

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said, "Since ancient times, there was Penglai in the east of the road. Zulong sent Xu Fu to find the elixir. In addition, in "Liezi Tang Wen", it says that there are countless billions of miles east of the Bohai Sea, and there are big valleys. In fact, there is no bottom valley, and there is no bottom below it, called Guixu.

The water of the eight strings and nine fields and the flow of the heaven and Han Dynasty are all poured into it, without increasing or decreasing. There are five mountains among them: one is Daiyu, two is Yuanjiao, three is Fanghu, four is Yingzhou, and five is Penglai.

The Taiyu and Yuanjiao flowed to the North Pole, and the Japanese were revealed in the world, and the square pots were not there. It would be better to stop here in the name of Penglaizhou."

Even if the name of Penglaizhou has been decided, as for how to divide prefectures and counties in the future, and how to divide the vassal kings, it will be the matter of the cabinet and the clan mansion.

If you immigrate there in the future, it means that it is such a tall name as Penglai. I believe the people will be willing to do it. It will not be as offensive as taking the name of the shit continent.

Just as he decided on the name of Penglaizhou, Wang Xingguo, the leader of the Jinyiwei, hurriedly found the cabinet.

As early as the third year of Chongzhen, the Jinyiwei, who was responsible for overseas part of the Jinyiwei, was doing a lot of activities overseas like wild dogs that left Xinjiang, and even Europe already had the shadow of the Jinyiwei.

Now Emperor Chongzhen decided to confront those barbarians. Wang Xingguo, who is the leader of the Jinyiwei overseas, has also begun to organize the information sent back by the Jinyiwei, and some of the information about Europe aroused Wang Xingguo's interest.

According to the news sent back by the Jinyiwei, the whole of Europe is now about to turn human brains into dog brains, and the number of people killed in battle has increased sharply. If it continues for a few more years, these barbarians can kill themselves.

After using the intelligence to let the think tank deduce it first, Wang Xingguo came to Emperor Chongzhen with the intelligence of the Jinyiwei and the results of the think tank deduce it.

The news feedback from the think tank is not as optimistic as the Jin Yiwei.

According to the deduction and judgment of the think tank, even if European barbarians make human brains into pig brains, they will calm the war in the near future.

France, the strongest combat power, has begun to divert its attention, drawn a large number of soldiers out of the battlefield, and placed its center of gravity in New France. England is also drawing a large number of troops, and the center of gravity is also beginning to shift towards New England.

Because no matter who is in Europe, it is impossible for us to bear the continuous war and the consequences of large-scale deaths in the population. The war will eventually compromise. The greatest possibility is that the war will end next year in the 20th year of Chongzhen.

The biggest reason is that the Holy Roman Empire is not powerful, and the entire battlefield is defeated step by step. Once Rome, who could not bear the first one, admits defeat, the war that has lasted for more than 20 years will end.

The think tank's opinion is that since the Ming Dynasty has turned its attention to the Penglai Continent in the extreme east, Europe will not care about their life or death for the time being. Instead, it should take advantage of this time to support some European countries.

For example, the Holy Roman Empire at a disadvantage must have wanted to seek peace. After being slapped in the face by Sweden and France again and again, Ferdinand III would not mind buying a large amount of arms from the Ming Dynasty to slap them in the face.

Well, there is nothing wrong with this judgment!

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a little ignorant, for example, he had not understood the history of his family for more than 5,000 years and was not very interested in the history of those barbarians for hundreds of years, but he still knew the final result.

Sweden and France still existed in later generations, but the Holy Roman Empire had long been over and had long disappeared into the long river of history.

Since we know that this Holy Roman Empire will be over, it is better to support them now, such as arms, muskets and cannons, and sell them at a low price, and talk to them with Fushou Paste. What effect will it have?

In fact, according to the think tank, even if it is not profitable, the Ming Dynasty should provide a batch of arms and weapons to the Holy Roman Empire.

Because as long as the Ming Dynasty provides arms to the Holy Roman Empire, there is no possibility of losing money. As long as the Holy Roman Empire tastes the sweetness of the Ming Dynasty's arms, will they endure the anger that has been bullied for many years? Will they not counterattack and go back?

Once the Holy Roman Empire counterattacked, it could obtain a large amount of silver coins through countries such as Ruihuang and France, and then buy more arms from the Ming Dynasty.

The coalition forces of Sweden and France who were criticized could not care about where these arms came from. They would definitely find a way to contact the Ming Dynasty to purchase them.

If the same arms sold by two companies, the Ming Dynasty still has the possibility of losing money?

The only problem is probably how to contact the Holy Roman Empire before the war between the European barbarians ended. Otherwise, the Holy Roman Empire would be killed by someone, and there would be no great significance at that time.

After throwing the deduction and analysis report in his hand to the cabinet, Emperor Chongzhen said: "What do you think of all my dear friends?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said, "From the results of the deduction of the think tank, we will naturally have to support the Holy Roman Empire, even if we provide them with arms first.

But if this batch of arms was given to the Holy Roman Empire too easily, it might not have been much of a concern.

According to my opinion, it is better to send envoys to negotiate with him, order him to use tariffs, commercial taxes, etc. as a guarantee, or sign other agreements, such as the Kyushu Island Agreement, and then provide them with arms."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and signaled that he had already made it clear.

Which of the five major mobile weapon sellers in later generations is not a good player? It doesn’t matter if you have money or not. Mines, land, and anything can bring a lot of profits? Not easy to transport? No problem! The five major gangsters have even repaired the roads for you!

Of course, after the road is repaired, there are also tolls, so naturally, the five major gangsters should be charged for a few years first, right? Otherwise, I really think that the five major gangsters were good at opening a good hall?

Zhang Yingxuan, the Minister of Works, was very unhappy and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are still some garrisons in the Ming Dynasty that have not been updated to the latest equipment. What if they are to supply the barbarians first?"

Emperor Chongzhen said with a sneer: "Of course we will supply the barbarians first. In addition to the border troops, it is okay to replace the weapons in our Ming Dynasty's garrison station slowly.

However, those newly developed weapons that are uncertain in performance can be thrown to the barbarians first to use, and then decide whether to equip them with a large number of wards in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Yingxuan is still unhappy.

Zhang Yingxuan naturally knew about the routine that Emperor Chongzhen said, and those guys from the Royal Academy were responsible for killing and burying. They tried all kinds of new weapons and threw them to the Ministry of Works for mass production, and then let the Beijing Camp and the New Army try it.

Only after the Beijing Camp and the New Army were tried for a while and the advantages and disadvantages were reported, they would improve accordingly, and then throw them to the Ministry of Works for a headache, and then repeat this process.

The result of this trouble is that the weapons used by the border army are relatively stable, and the internal guards are relatively backward, while the Beijing camp and the new army are constantly trying out new weapons while maintaining their combat effectiveness.

The most headache-inducing part of the entire chain is the Works Department.

Taking the musket as an example, the emergence of steam engines made it possible to drill and bore stably and quickly. Massive barrel manufacturing is no longer a problem, and the quality is guaranteed.

But the scumbags at the Royal Academy think that the large gun barrel will bring greater damage and killing power?

After slapping my head, design, production, trial, throw it to the Ministry of Works to mass-produce some and then let Jingying try it out. Then look at the feedback from Jingying, the entire chain came out like this.

The Ministry of Works must constantly develop new drilling and boring machines according to the design requirements of the Royal Academy, and then start to struggle. In this case, the production of Chongzhen thirteen-type muskets cannot be delayed!

It's okay if it's once or twice, but if you do this often, you will naturally complain to the prison. When you ask the Ministry of Works to complain, the Ministry of Works will be very distressed in the end, and Zhang Yingxuan also felt a headache.

Now Emperor Chongzhen simply threw the trial pot on the barbarians. The Beijing camp and the new army were relaxed, and the workload of the Ministry of Works did not reduce at all, but was increasing continuously. In this case, it would be strange that Zhang Yingxuan could be happy.

Emperor Chongzhen simply turned his attention to Jin Xuan, Minister of War: "Why not set up another department under the Ministry of War to be responsible for the production of these firearms and establish another guard for trial?"

Jin Hyun did not say anything extra nonsense and responded with a stern face: "Yes, Weichen will set up another arsenal to be responsible for the construction of firearms, and specially dispatched personnel to establish an Ordnance Department to be responsible for the test matters."

Jin Hyun had long wanted to take the production of firearms from the Ministry of Works to his own hands, but there was no suitable opportunity. Now Zhang Yingxuan intends to blame him, and Emperor Chongzhen also intends to let the Ministry of War be responsible. Jin Hyun was already happy.

However, although this kind of thing is simple, it is not something that can be done in a short while. You can only take it slowly.

Especially the problem of manpower is enough for the arsenal to have a headache. The Ordnance Department is easy to deal with. Just bring a garrison here. This matter can be solved by Zhang Zhiji.

But what the arsenal needs is an experienced master. It takes more than a day or two, or even a year or two years to train himself.

After thinking about it, Jin Hyun simply put his mind on the head of the general manager: "Your Majesty, the arsenal is responsible for building trial firearms and mass-producing them. If there is no experienced master, can we transfer some people to the general manager?"

Without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to answer, Zhang Yingxuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the task of being a supervisor is already heavy, how can you draw the manpower to the Ministry of War?

However, because they are all serving Your Majesty and serving Your Majesty, I am willing to transfer five experienced masters from the general to the Ministry of War.”

Jin Hyun sneered and said, "Why don't you say anything and don't transfer one? Why don't you just let the Ministry of War start from scratch?"

Zhang Yingxuan said: "I didn't think so! Look at how many things I will handle when I am going to be a prisoner?"

Emperor Chongzhen was also very troubled: "Let's do this, the Military Weapon Bureau, the Military War Bureau, and the Gunpowder Bureau all split the half and then expanded it. Some of them are still included in the Inner Supervision and the Shaofu, and the other is included in the Ministry of War. As for the general to be the supervisor, don't move for the time being."

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had long been interested in subdividing these messy institutions, but he had not yet figured out how to plan, and it would not take a moment to do it.

Now taking advantage of this opportunity, it is also a first step to split.

Perhaps comforted Jin Xuan and Zhang Yingxuan, who were staring at each other, and Emperor Chongzhen, who had a headache, ran away to the Royal Academy.

The Royal Academy, dozens of miles south of the capital, has a confidentiality level above the cabinet and the eight ministries, and its defense level is no less than that of the imperial palace.

If someone can prepare enough explosives and detonate them on the territory of the Royal Academy, it can be said without hesitation that the development of the entire Ming Dynasty would stagnate for decades, and even a certain degree of regression would occur.

Of course, if this really happens, it is hard to say what Emperor Chongzhen would do in anger.

Because Emperor Chongzhen regarded the Royal Academy as much more important than the imperial palace, even if the imperial palace in the capital is gone, the imperial palace in Nanjing, and the summer palace in the sea of ​​fishing, it is impossible to build it again.

If the Royal Academy is bombed, it will not only mean that the Jinyiwei and the expert factory have also been responsible for defending the Beijing camp, which has dereliction of duty or even lost control, but will also slow down the industrialization process of the entire Ming Dynasty.

For example, now, a miniature steam engine warship is coming back on a huge artificial lake and doing forward and turn movements, which makes Emperor Chongzhen obsessed with his eyes.

In terms of combat effectiveness, a treasure ship is enough to send ten steam engine warships in front of you to the sea to feed the Dragon King. Even if you want to distribute this thing to the fleet, you are used to the three high-end fleets of the treasure ship, and you will not look down on it.

A warship with a mere three hundred materials can be converted into a displacement of only about one hundred tons, with a length of about ten meters and a width of about three meters, which is probably equivalent to a sixteen-wheeled truck.
