RNP Chapter 174
Chapter 174
After Chongzhen arranged the task, he continued to stay in Chichi City.
Marines are repairing the fort with green bricks copied by Chongzhen.
Chongzhen himself was planning the road construction of Baodao.
Although the treasure island is not big, as the maritime trade center of the Daming Empire, it is definitely possible.
To build a cement road on Takarashima does not require many cement pebbles.
Chongzhen copied the cement pebbles, and through the system, the materials were placed in different locations on the treasure island.
As long as the displaced people arrive, they can mobilize the people to build houses, build cement roads, and carry out large-scale development of the entire treasure island.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Chongzhen became.
At that time, when the fleets of other countries come to Baodao, will they be shocked?
"Your Majesty, the eunuchs have arranged - go and deliver the will!"
"This is a war report from Keelung, the Spanish colonial army is more than the intelligence suggests, there are 1,600 left-right!"
Chongzhen took the war report handed over by Wang Chengen and frowned.
"Mother, the soldiers and horses of the five small banners at the forefront were ambushed, and thirty-seven people were damaged!"
"The Spanish colonial army, it seems to be more powerful!"
"Your Majesty, the main thing is that the Marines of the Second Fleet are too light on the enemy, and the scout Xiaoqi at the forefront is marching too fast, and it is ambushed halfway!"
"However, the follow-up troops have already begun to counterattack, and the two hundred Spanish colonial troops who ambushed us have all been killed by us!"
Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Leave them alone first, there are more than a thousand people, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated!" "
"Let's take a look at the plan for the treasure island!"
Chongzhen unfolded the map of the treasure island and drew a circular road between the city and the city, and between the city and the port.
"We plan to build a ring concrete road on Treasure Island."
"Every city and port are also connected by concrete roads!"
Wang Chengen and Zheng Weiguo, who had already landed, looked at the map in front of them with black lines.
"Your Majesty, this is a sparsely populated island, is it necessary to spend a lot of effort to develop it?"
"Isn't it a waste of money to build these roads?" , Zheng Weiguo muttered softly.
Wang Chengen also nodded on the side: "Yes, Your Majesty!" This treasure island is sparsely populated, and the migration of 350,000 people is only 500,000! There is absolutely no need to build concrete roads! "
Chongzhen was extremely calm, this time was the feudal era, and they did not blame them for not having a long-term vision.
He is a traverser and knows what the future holds.
This maritime trade and maritime colonization are both general trends and will not change due to the change of time.
Since you can't change this megatrend, you become at the helm of it.
Chongzhen, who wanted to understand this truth, directly rejected the suggestions of Zheng Weiguo and Wang Chengen.
"Guys, Daming already has twelve war zones!"
"Baodao is simply called a special war zone!"
"500,000 people, just form 30,000 National Salvation Army and 20,000 Daming Revolutionary Guards!"
Chongzhen knew from the captured information that in the entire Dutch Republic, the standing army was 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.
That is, the Dutch Republic, the sea hegemon of the seventeenth century, turned out to be only 30,000 standing soldiers.
The garrison of each of its colonies numbered at most a thousand and at least a few dozen.
Especially America, a colony of the Dutch Republic in South America.
One fortress, fifty or sixty colonial armies, can control tens of thousands of local natives.
That is, the soldiers and horses of the Baodao Special Theater planned by themselves completely exceeded the total number of the standing army of the Dutch Republic.
Wang Chengen and Zheng Weiguo on the side had to nod.
"Everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangement! Just like that, the economic pressure of the Daming Imperial Court would be much greater! "
Chongzhen knew his infinite copy system, capable of infinitely copying grain and various items.
Economic pressure can't be said to be none, only a little, that is, the pressure to copy too many things and there is no place to put them.
Chongzhen was not idle, and had been carefully reading the captured materials.
The information says that the number of people in the Ottoman Empire has reached 30 million, which is not as large as the people of the Daming Empire.
The standing army was 80,000, of which 30,000 were the Sultan's Guards. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
It is strange that the territory of the Ottoman Empire is so large and there are so few soldiers and horses.
Chongzhen continued to look at the fact that the Ottoman Empire was still expanding rapidly.
Their power even reached the Sultanate of Malacca.
Mother, dare to love the Daming Empire has been fighting with the Eight Flags at home all these years, and has not opened its eyes to the world at all.
Now this trend, the Sultanate of Malacca, the only way for the Ming Empire to go to sea, turned out to be a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire.
It's really fucking ghostly.
Isn't the Ottoman Empire far away?
How did the forces actually touch the Sultanate of Malacca?
What puzzled Chongzhen the most was that the Ottoman Empire had competed with Spain and Portugal for colonial power for hundreds of years.
What has the Daming Empire been doing in this hundred years?
Fortunately, at this time, the west learned from the east.
The Daming Empire was also learning a lot of advanced Western culture, at least not in isolation.
At this time, Chongzhen felt that the Daming Empire was lagging behind, but it was not impossible to catch up.
In fact, the Daming Empire did not lack scientists, and the firearms and some practical things they developed were not used on a large scale because the imperial court did not pay attention to them.
Fortunately, I founded the Daming Royal Scientific Research Bureau, which can develop different things.
Chongzhen sat calmly on the chair while reading the information.
Zheng Weiguo and Wang Chengen were not idle, they couldn't understand these words, so they kept asking the translator on the side.
The translator was Han, but he had followed Yiyi as a translator before, and he could understand the text.
When he translated these words, Wang Chengen and Zheng Weiguo were very surprised.
"Your Majesty, why are the number of soldiers and horses and people in these empires that the translation said so small?"
"Where is this America? Why can dozens of colonial armies control an empire of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people? "
"This Inca Empire is also too stretched! The Spaniards wiped them out with more than a hundred people? "
"It's been extinct for decades!" , Chongzhen said calmly.
Wang Chengen and Zheng Weiguo gasped.
"Your Majesty, isn't it! This Inca Empire is also too weak! Millions of people, 80,000 soldiers and horses, against more than a hundred Spanish colonial troops, they couldn't even fight, what a shame! "
Chongzhen waved his hand: "This is an empire that has been destroyed for decades, don't say it!" They are too backward, there are no firearms, not even horses are not domesticated! "
"It's normal to fight!"
Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "I don't know how the battle with the Spanish colonial army in Keelung was?" "
"Your Majesty, or we'll take a look! How powerful is this Spanish colonial army, once hundreds of people defeated a large empire of millions of people! "
Chongzhen also had this plan, jumped on a war horse, took the remaining marines, and headed for Keelung.
Keelung, the governor of the Spanish colonial army, was depressed.
How can the soldiers and horses of this Daming Empire have so much better weapons and equipment than the colonial army?
Isn't this Daming Empire quite backward?
