People have reason to be happy!

Whether it is the old shopkeeper or the third uncle Zhang Xuezeng, Li Yuchun who has been running around, Sun Jingting and Tian Jitang who is in charge of the financial management, Li Shenming who presided over Qingcheng and military orders, or the people from the Agricultural Administration Department who have been rolling in the fields with Kong Minxing, or Wang Changfu, Liang Xing and others, everyone has seen the changes in He Yusheng's strength. For many people, they have been full of doubts since Zhang Han decided to run the grassland during the Tianqi period.

...The shadow of Altan's multiple invasions decades ago still exists in the hearts of the old people. The young and middle-aged people also grew up in the shadows of the hateful but very terrifying old people. No one believes that Zhang Han can really do all this in front of him, and advance with a military fort, from using firearms to defend the castle without fighting, to going out to fight in the field, to defeating the Northern Barbarians repeatedly, the enemy has never won. If everyone had not sat in this Qingcheng, who would have believed it?

In addition to military victory, the financial situation also solved the deficit problem that has plagued everyone this year. The war with the Beilu in the past two years led to the expansion of military and the entire Heyusheng system too quickly... Many people may not know, but Wang Debang, who stayed in Lizhuang with Li Dongxue, was quite clear. From the second to fourth years of the Tianqi period, the scale of the Firearm Bureau has expanded ten times in more than two years. There were more than a thousand craftsmen and more than a hundred machines. If this is not the case, large-scale casting cannons will take a time period. Whether using mud mold or wax loss method, casting cannons will take a long time. Especially for artillery with strict technology, the time period cannot be too urgent. The musket is constantly being tried and improved, from the combing gun to the machine gun, to the flintlock smoothbore gun.

The process was quite long, and after the finalization, production required overtime to provide it with soldiers in the front. By the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Han decided to strengthen the self-protection ability of the musketeers, or use the musketeers as a separate combat unit... This was a decision made with the change of musketeers' performance. After the appearance of firearms in the West, they also transformed from the same role as bows and arrows into the firepower output core of the square array, and then to eliminate the archers, but they were still auxiliary roles of the long gunner and the halberd. Later, they became pure musketeers, and then completely eliminated the cold weapons. The whole process was at least two hundred years. This change was passive, and it was to discover the potential of the firearms in constant wars, gradually recognize them, and then passively change.

Zhang Han is familiar with the entire history process and has chosen the most correct path from the beginning. The development of firearms took less than ten years to complete the two hundred years of the West. Therefore, the formation of the army and the composition of the square array may not necessarily stick to the rules, and of course it also changes with the changes of the square array.

At least, the emergence of the new army of Dragoon is entirely because the Firearms Bureau has created qualified muskets and can provide enough qualified casing bayonets. Otherwise, the Dragoon's idea can only stay in the conception stage and cannot be transformed into reality.

In addition to the firearms, weapons and armor, and miscellaneous situations, the scale has been greatly improved and changed.

If it weren't for these logistical efforts, how could the efforts and cooperation of the Military Affairs Department, the Agricultural Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department, could the war of almost destroying the country on such a scale?

In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Jing destroyed the Turks, but only tens of thousands of elite soldiers. However, they were all cavalry and used the method of raid to force the sweat tent. Only then did they succeed. Zhang Han's approach was to steadily and swallow a piece of it if he occupied a piece of land. It was completely different from the way of fighting in the early Tang Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. It can be said that three points are military and seven points are logistics!

The people here have reason to be proud and have reason to be happy without reservation!

"The focus of next year is whether to focus on war or defense?" Sun Jingting said softly: "Is the focus of our career that continues to accumulate strength?"

Li Shenming continued: "The goal for next year is to make money in two simple words."

Everyone laughed, and even Zhang Han smiled.

For the time being, the internal and external conditions of He Yusheng allow everyone to relax for two years. The internal situation has been pushed to Mobei and blocked the Chahar people back, and the Tak Division is no match for the Tak Division at all. It can be said that if the economic conditions allow in the year, the most important thing to do is to subdue some unsatisfied tribes in Mobei, conquer Ordos and other tribes, and push the defense line to the Hetao area. The Hetao area was originally a military farmland for the Han people, and it was a pity to use it for the Beilu to herd sheep.

Kong Minxing smiled and said, "If this is the case, next year should be a relatively relaxing year."

"It should be."

"I feel so."

Everyone nodded and smiled, and everyone was in a relaxed and happy mood.

Wang Zheng hadn't seen these senior officials of He Yusheng for a long time. When he was ordered to go on a mission with Chang Wei, he was just a military officer at the level of the 100th General Office. At that time, the Shang regiment army was still organized by the Ming army, including the team officer, the flag captain, the 100th General Officer, the 100th General Officer, and the Qianzong General Officer. Now he is a regiment-level staff officer. He is considered a middle-level senior officer. He has not yet entered the sequence of the senior officers of the regiment-level command. At this moment, he is a little nervous. However, thinking of the worries and instructions of Jezhnev and others when he came, Wang Zheng still said with a tough bullet: "Report to the Lord, there may be a lot of risks in Taiwan next year."

Zhang Han pondered silently, and he was also a little doubtful. He didn't know the specific historical nodes very well. He only remembered that the Dutch did have decades of colonial history in Taiwan, and later fought with the Zheng family twice, but both times lost.

However, the war did not affect the exchanges and trade routes between the two sides. However, after the Zheng family defeated the Dutch, the Dutch gave all the profits of Japanese trade to the Zheng family. They mainly bought raw silk and deer skin from Taiwan. Taiwan was a transit station and trading point for them to purchase mainland products. A large amount of goods entered the Nanyang Islands, and a considerable amount of goods were transferred to Europe. The profit was very high, so there was no need to fight to the end.

It was not until Zheng Chenggong felt that the Xiamen area of ​​Kinmen was too small and was too threatened by the Qing soldiers. In addition, the failed besiege of Nanjing from the entrance of the Yangtze River, the Zheng family needed a more stable foundation. At that time, after Taiwan entered the target of the Zheng family's naval army, the two sides fought once, and of course it ended with the failure of the Dutch.

Now there is a regiment on Taiwan Island. Zhang Han remembers that the Dutch were not more than 2,000 in Taiwan at most, and there were quite a lot of civilians. The Dutch have always tried to maintain relatively good relations with the Chinese. When they colonized Taiwan, they were extremely vicious to the natives and were quite polite to the Chinese, especially the merchants...

Will there be any unexpected changes?

Zhang Han did not express his opinion, and Li Shenming shook his head and smiled, "Wang Zheng, you are still too anxious. You will build that 600-ton ship next year. I feel that I am walking too fast."

Wang Jun said: "The strong enemy is by your side, so I dare not wait."

Sun Jingting frowned and said, "The Dutch were not defeated by the Fujian Navy, and they don't have many warships in total. I read the report you last time. There were only six main ships in total. With such a big sea, they were in charge of them. I think you are still a little worried."

"Sun Zhengyi reported." Wang Zheng bowed and said helplessly: "One big ship that can reach all of us."

"Absurd!" Li Shenming looked unhappy and said, "How can there be such a truth? I will never believe this."

Wang Jun didn't know what to say for a moment. The people in front of him were all inland people in Datong. Most of them had never seen big rivers. From the grasslands of Beilu to Datong, so many rivers could not be compared with the magnificent Yangtze River, let alone so many rivers and lakes in the south, and there was only one Yellow River here in the north. Even when the Yellow River rose, it could not be compared with the Yangtze River, let alone the dry season now. Even if the Yellow River looked similar to the ordinary southern rivers, there was not much special.

And above the sea, a big river like the Yangtze River is nothing. On the sea, a large warship means nothing but a report alone.

Wang Zheng could only say: "This time his subordinate went north and was entrusted by Chang Zhengshi and colleagues of the Military Affairs Office. He repeatedly emphasized that no matter how difficult it is, he hopes that the Military Affairs Office will support Taiwan in the next year's shipbuilding. In fact, our trade income and shipbuilding fee are almost enough, but wood, cloth, linen, and various iron tools needed, including iron nails, are extremely demanding and the requirements for wood are also very high. This requires the military affairs officer to cooperate vigorously."

When everyone heard that they were not asking for money, they breathed a sigh of relief. Li Shenming smiled and said, "How much things are needed, especially iron tools, it's not a matter of one sentence. I thought I would ask for a lot of money, Wang Zheng, you really want to fight."

Wang Jun took a deep breath...

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Wang Zheng said, I probably want a lot of things. Tell them out and scare them."

Wang Zheng said: "The iron nails of different colors require 600,000, bolts require 100,000, and the remaining axes, chisels, hammers and other objects add up to more than 10,000."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. First, the people on a table kept silent, and then the whole room became quiet.

Li Shenming frowned and said, "So many iron nails are needed to build a ship?"

"Yes." Wang Zheng said: "It's not an ordinary nail. It must be made with careful iron. The length and length are one. We have calculated that the total number of fine iron objects required by a ship requires more than 20,000 kilograms of fine iron. The number of iron nails we just mentioned is the total number of ships we plan to build next year. In addition to nails, there are also a large number of hemp ropes that need oil soaked, and a large amount of cloth sails. The biggest side is estimated to take dozens of skilled tailors to sew with various needles for dozens of days to sew. We have calculated that on one side, one sail, the needle hole alone will have to exceed 100,000..."

"There are still wood." Zhang Han had already remembered it and said, "Each boat needs more than one thousand woods, especially oak wood, which is five feet above the ground and five people have to hug each other."

"Yes..." Wang Zheng looked around and felt the stagnant air, but he still agreed with a thorny bullet.
