One Emperor through the Ages: Starting from Infinite Copying

Chapter 292

Tokugawa Gangichi pointed to the city wall in the distance: "General Kuroda, see no, this was purchased for 10,000 taels of silver, you see!" "

"The gunner immediately prepares, aim at the city wall, bomb me!"

"Lord Overseer, the Yan people have prepared two red-clothed cannons."

Meng Zhaoxiang sneered: "The people of the Yan Kingdom, what a fucking poor sour." "

"Lord Overseer, we don't have artillery here!" , Huang Taiji was sweating profusely.

Meng Zhaoxiang pointed to the soldiers on the side: "You guys quickly go to the Fukuoka pier and ask the commander of the Second Fleet for a few artillery pieces, just red-clothed cannons!" "

A small banner of ten brocade guards rode and immediately left the prefecture and headed towards Fukuoka Pier.

In the distance, Yin soldiers are slowly reloading shells.

"Solid bullet, no worries!" , Meng Zhaoxiang calmly reminded.

Rumble~

Rumble~

With two loud bangs, shells flew towards the city walls.

A shell smashed into the city from over the city wall.

A shell fell on the city wall.

"My obedience, this solid bullet can't even smash our city wall!" , Huang Taiji was very surprised, and found that only a small pit mark was left on the city wall.

As soon as Tokugawa was blinded, General Kuroda on the side also laughed.

"General Tokugawa, your Kishu clan is the unjust leader, this ten thousand taels of silver bought this kind of thing, it seems to be of no use at all!"

Tokugawa Gangichi was a little speechless, this red-clothed cannon is powerful, how can it not be useful to the city repaired by the Ming army?

"General Kuroda, it shouldn't be that Daming reinforced the city wall, I heard that they used reinforced concrete!"

"Do you know what this thing is?"

Kuroda pointed to Yamada on the side.

"Yamada Junshi, you tell General Tokugawa!"

"General Tokugawa, this is a glue invented by the Daming Empire, and it works very well! Ordinary cannons simply do not move. "

"It is estimated that without a few thousand kilograms of explosives, it is impossible to blow up this reinforced concrete."

Tokugawa was stunned again and again.

"Amaterasu, are you laughing~~?"

"How many thousand pounds of explosives can be blown up? You know a few thousand pounds of explosives, which are worth thousands of taels of silver. "

"We go to war, and the daily consumption is already astronomical."

Yamada lowered his head, his heart heavy.

"Or the Daming Empire is rich, they never care about consumption when they fight!"

Yamada's sigh made both Kuroda and Tokugawa Gangichi frown.

"The wealth of the Daming Empire, we are all clear, do not care about consumption, this is impossible, right?"

"Rich to rich, it is impossible not to care about consumption!" , Tokugawa retorted.

Yamada thought for a while and said, "They really don't care, no matter when big white rice, meat and vegetables, it has always been an unlimited supply. "

Tokugawa Gangichi was a little angry: "Do you know how much money we daimyo spent after fighting for half a year?" "

"At least ten million taels of silver."

"If we continue to fight like this, the money of our Great Wa Empire will be exhausted."

Yamada on the side muttered: "The Daming Empire really doesn't care about consumption, when the million-strong army swept north, I am afraid that the consumption was a hundred times that of our current soldiers, and it didn't hurt them the slightest bit of vitality." "

Yamada's words completely drove Tokugawa Gangichi and General Kuroda crazy.

"The Daming Empire is really rich to this point?"

"Really, the Daming Empire and even the whole people are building roads, citizens are paid thirty yuan a day, and untouchables are paid fifteen yuan a day!"

"If you think about it, the Daming Empire is currently young and strong, and in addition to the National Salvation Army and the Revolutionary Guard, there are at least 10 million people working as road builders and construction workers."

"Amaterasu, what's going on?"

"Is Daming so rich?"

Yamada looked at everyone's surprised eyes and continued: "They are not only rich, I heard that they have conquered the Indochina Peninsula, that is, the Kingdom of Annam, the Kingdom of Siam and the Kingdom of Donggu!" "

"The people of the three countries combined are estimated to be about 30 million, and Chongzhen also asked them to build roads, build houses, and pay them wages."

Kuroda and Tokugawa were stunned in place, they both forgot to command the battle.

"Isn't it? Is the Daming Empire spending too much money? "

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Yamada continued: "General, you don't know something! The people of the Daming Empire, whether citizens or untouchables, worshipped Chongzhena to the extreme. "

"Because Chongzhen allows even untouchables whose income is less than half to live in a big house and have a private carriage with their own efforts."

"Just look at the Daming Eight Flags Assisting Army on the opposite side." (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"They are all pariahs of the Daming Empire, look at their food!"

Under the watchtower outside the city, the Daming Eight Banners Assistance Army was lighting a fire on a simple stove to cook.

"Nani? Big white rice, braised pork, roast beef, roast whole lamb? "

"Chicken stewed mushrooms, fresh fruit, even all kinds of vegetables, and steamed fish!"

"Amaterasu, what kind of food treatment is this fucking mother?"

Kuroda and Tokugawa Gangichi doubted life and had to ask questions of their worshiped god Amaterasu.

"~ General, not only that, they also have glass bottled beer, as well as fruits after meals, and glass bottled coffee, and even chocolate."

Yamada said that these were extremely expensive products, which were bought from Portuguese merchants in the country, and they knew the price of these items.

"General Kuroda, the food of a soldier of the enemy is probably worth the food of a hundred of us."

Kuroda calculated: "According to the price of their food in our country, just the glass bottled beer and the glass bottle of coffee are already a thousand times the value of one of our soldiers' food." "

"Add in other meat, cigarettes, matches, etc., and the cost of a soldier is at least two thousand times that of one of our soldiers."

Tokugawa Gangichi also calculated that the glass bottled beer in the country of Wakoku required ten taels of silver, that is, one thousand yuan of Daming coins to buy.

And the meals of an ordinary Yin soldier (Zhao Mo Zhao), two meals a day. Each meal is eight rice balls plus a slice of sashimi, and each meal is worth 0.01 taels of silver.

Even so, there were already 200,000 soldiers of the Yin Kingdom who besieged the Eight Banners of the Daming Dynasty, and the daily food expenses cost 4,000 taels of silver.

According to this calculation, even if it is a thousand times calculated, the Daming Eight Banners assist army of 50,000 people, and the cost of food for a day is not one million taels of silver?

"General Kuroda, the total strength of our dozen daimyo is 200,000 people, and the food expenses of 4,000 taels a day are only 4,000 taels, and if they are a thousand times, they will spend 1 million taels of silver a day."

"General Tokugawa, it's not you who calculate, the rice of the Daming Empire is five cents a pound, the glass bottled beer is two cents, five cents, and one yuan a bottle, it is obvious that they drink two cents a bottle of beer, and coffee is only five cents a bottle!"

"So they don't cost much!"

Tokugawa Gangichi and Kuroda stared wide-eyed: "What?" The price of the Daming Empire, so low? "。
