However, with the expansion of colonies, foreign wars began to receive a large amount of war dividends, as well as income from colonial land sales and slave sales. Officials and even ordinary people in China and the DPRK saw from these foreign wars

Benefits gained.=top=point=novel=

People, profit-seeking is one of the basic human natures. In the past, Yu Xiaotian tried his best to launch foreign wars. They thought it would harm China and North Korea. But now through these wars, they found that things did not seem to be what they thought. Through war means

, not only did China and Korea not lose money, but they could also get a lot of war dividends. In the war against Japan alone, they brought back at least tens of millions of taels of silver to China and Korea, and they also occupied the silver mines of Japan.

.

The colonial land purchase business and the slave business also brought huge income to China and North Korea, and squeezed out a lot of idle private funds and put them into the hands of China and North Korea. This money is too easy to make, as long as the war is won.

If you can make a fortune, China and North Korea can raise more soldiers, build more warships, launch more wars, seize more colonies, and continue to make greater fortunes.

What's more, the colonies can continue to feed back China and North Korea, and continuously transport various raw materials back to the country. After the land is sold and developed, China and North Korea can also collect taxes in the colonies and give back to the mainland, so that the mainland can be more productive.

Rich.

This has caused the officials of China and North Korea to completely change their previous concepts. They no longer believe that launching a war with foreign countries is a business that wastes people, money and money. As long as such a war is won, large war dividends can be obtained, and

Making huge fortunes gave officials in China and North Korea the motivation to expand externally and launch wars.

Moreover, the merchants also obtained considerable profits from the war. After all, every time a war was launched, the imperial court had to purchase a large amount of various military supplies, as well as many weapons and ships. In addition, after occupying the colonies, as the most sensitive people

Businessmen are often the first to land in new colonies and occupy a large amount of land. Whether they mine or do anything in the future, it is a profitable business.

Businessmen naturally hope to see the imperial court continue to launch wars so that they can obtain greater benefits. In this way, some people, whether official or private, begin to support the launch of wars, which further promotes the speed of China and North Korea's external expansion.

and footsteps.

This is the most critical thing. In the past, the Han people were mostly in a farming economy and did not have enough motivation to expand externally. Therefore, the Han people's court was mostly in a stable or conservative attitude, and rarely took the initiative to launch aggressive wars.

, so it was repeatedly invaded by nomads.

But things are different now. Through the continuous waging of foreign wars, these officials and the people of China and North Korea have benefited from it. The officials' salaries have been rising. Of course they are happy. The people's lives are getting better and better.

, of course they were happy, and the businessmen were even more happy when they made a lot of money.

Therefore, this has caused an earth-shaking change in the Han people's lack of motivation for external expansion. The whole country hopes that the court can launch more foreign wars, occupy more colonies, and seize more territories and colonies.

It can make China and North Korea more prosperous.

This motivation drove the expansion of military operations. Six years after Chengtian, the navy and army began to expand significantly again.

Taking advantage of the dividends brought by various wars, Yu Xiaotian was finally free to expand the navy and army, so batches of young men were recruited into the army. The naval academy and the army lecture hall were also continuously expanded.

New schools were added in various places to train more naval and army officers.

At this time, the navy and army of China and North Korea had formed their own culture and traditions, becoming active and warlike. The treatment of soldiers was getting better and better, and their status was greatly improved, making the army more powerful.

Strong aggression and bestiality, becoming more savage.

For Yu Xiaotian, this is a good thing that he is happy to see. He has always said that soldiers must have wolf nature and strong discipline. While obeying orders, they must not obliterate their

To be wild, they must be allowed to maintain strong enough wildness and aggression on top of their sense of obedience. This is the real soldier. Peace will not make the army a strong one, it can only obliterate their combat effectiveness.

Just turn them into a group of sheep wearing military uniforms.

In order for the army to have strong enough combat effectiveness, tradition is one thing. The most important thing is to let them continue to learn, evolve and temper themselves in war, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

As the war against Japan ended in the seventh year of Chengtian, the size of Dazhong's navy also expanded to an unprecedented extent.

One after another, newly built large warships began to be incorporated into the navy, including the latest clipper ships. In the seventh year of Chengtian, they also began to be used in major state-owned shipyards across the country and even some private shipyards.

Investing in construction, China and North Korea had enough money to invest in naval construction, and launched new ships into the water like dumplings one after another.

The warships of this era are actually not very different from merchant ships. They can be used as warships and can also carry cargo when necessary. This makes the navy's external delivery capabilities increasingly stronger.

According to statistics, the fleets of large and medium-sized navies now have the number of warships, transport ships, supply ships and other vessels. Not counting those small ships with small tonnage, the number of medium and large warships exceeding 500 tons alone has exceeded 1,000.

So many articles.

Among them, there are more than 400 warships over a thousand tons, not including those large-tonnage transport ships, supply ships, slave ships and other ships. Looking at the whole world, they can be compared with the naval strength of China and North Korea.

The country no longer exists.

The strength of the navy has also expanded from less than 100,000 people at the beginning to more than 300,000 people, and it has more than 10,000 artillery pieces.

As for the army, there were originally only 300,000 troops in Dazhong and Zhongtian. By the seventh year of Chengtian, the size of the army had been expanded to more than 500,000, organized into more than 20 integrated combat divisions, and divided into several large military regions.

Among them is the Fuguang Military Region, which is responsible for the southeast, and is mainly responsible for the attack and defense of Nanyang. Among them, the Luzon Province garrison, which is temporarily in colonial status, is also under the Fuguang Military Region.

In the north, the Northern Military Region was established, covering the three provinces of Mongolia, Liaoning and Jilin. It was mainly responsible for conquering the north, intimidating Mongolia and other tribes outside the customs, and incidentally controlling North Korea. At this time, although the king of North Korea still existed in name, he had been

Yu Xiaotian issued an order to cancel the army of North Korea, leaving only 500 guards for the king of North Korea, and North Korea was not allowed to continue to have its own army.

The reason is very simple. Yu Xiaotian said that North Korea no longer needs to have an army. With Dazhong as the suzerain country, it is a waste for them to have an army. From now on, the defense of North Korea can be left to the Dazhong Army.

As for many official offices in North Korea, they were also abolished and handed over to officials sent by China and North Korea. Even the power to collect taxes was given to the officials of China and North Korea, not to mention external diplomacy.

kind of thing.

The king of North Korea refused to agree, so Yu Xiaotian immediately sent a group of troops stationed in Liaoning into North Korea, forcibly disbanded the North Korean army, and stationed directly in the capital of North Korea.

Its name is to provide protection to the king of North Korea.

In this way, the country of North Korea will exist in name only, and the king will be completely ignored. He will only remain in name only, and allocate some living needs to the royal family every year to make him live a comfortable life.

Some officials in North Korea refused to agree and secretly sought armed reunification. However, in front of the Chinese army, their resistance with force was just a joke. After a few battles, these dishonest North Koreans

The people were beaten down, and the instigators were arrested and executed. If anyone jumped out, his whole family would be killed.

It is estimated that North Korea will calm down soon in the future, and there is a precedent of the Japanese country in front of the North Korean people. If they don’t want to perish the country, then they should be more honest and obey the management of Dazhong North Korea!

In the Gyeonggi region, a garrison military region was established, covering Beizhili, Xuanda, Shanxi and Shandong provinces, and was responsible for the defense of the entire Gyeonggi region. At the same time, Donghai Province was also under the control of the garrison military region.

The Nanjing Military Region was established in the central and eastern parts of the country to control the four provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, and was responsible for the stability of the local ground.

The Chengdu Military Region was established in the southwest, responsible for the defense of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

The Central Plains Military Region was established in the central part of the country, responsible for the defense of Henan and Huguang provinces.

The Western Military Region was established in the west to be responsible for Shaanxi's military affairs. In the future, the Western Military Region will lead the expansion of the territory to the west. In the future, it will incorporate Tubo and Yili into the large and medium-sized territories, and continue to expand towards Central Asia.

Overall, among the major military regions, the Southeast, Southwest and Northern Military Regions are the most powerful and have the largest number of troops. These places have more local conflicts and are located on the border. They have the responsibility to continue to expand, so they are also responsible for the military strength and weapons and equipment.

They perform tilts.

The number of army artillery pieces has also reached several thousand, it has more than 300,000 rifles, and more than 200,000 pistols of various types. It is almost completely firearms.

As for combat effectiveness, needless to say, the Japanese and Spaniards have the deepest experience. The others who have the deepest experience are probably the Vietnamese.

In the spring of the seventh year of Chengtian, under the instructions of Yu Xiaotian, the cabinet made the decision to march to the south. The South China Sea Fleet and the Fuguang Military Region jointly launched a war against the Le Dynasty of Vietnam. Needless to say, this is the Central Plains.

The territory of the political power was Jiaozhi County as early as the Han Dynasty. Of course, they cannot be allowed to continue to be divided!

In the face of the powerful offensive of the Chinese army, the Le Dynasty army could not hold out for half a year before being completely destroyed. Then Vietnam was once again changed to Cochin Province, and its temporary status was also that of a colony, and the governor of Cochin was stationed to take charge of management.

At the end of the seventh year of Chengtian's reign, a major event occurred in a mechanical factory in Shunde. A prototype steam engine that could generate power by boiling water finally succeeded in testing. Driven by steam, it started running slowly.

stand up.

Emperor Chengtian Yu Xiaotian personally attended the ignition and trial operation of this steam engine. Although this steam engine was only a primitive steam engine with a simple structure, it did not produce much driving force, its horsepower was very small, and its safety was poor.

It's doubtful, but after all, this is the world's first truly semi-practical steam engine and the first manually operated prime mover. Its significance is self-evident.

Yu Xiaotian was so excited that he wanted to hug this stupid, big, black steam engine and kiss it. He almost burst into tears. If the eldest prince Yu Zhenhua hadn't been there to persuade him, he would have shed tears.

For this day, he did not know how many sleepless nights he had spent. He led many technicians to test day and night, constantly developed some processing machinery, and continued to create various models and draw various drawings.

Now he finally got his reward. Looking at this clumsy and crude steam engine that was breathing heavily, Yu Xiaotian was extremely excited and announced loudly to the people present that China and China would officially enter a mechanical age.
