Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant
Page 1104
In addition, the early muskets needed to be filled with gunpowder in the front rather than a fixed amount of rear loading. No matter in terms of range or power, according to what His Highness saw, they were not at the same level at all.
In other words, after selling these items to barbarians, they still need to spend a lot of time thinking about how to produce them, and then they have to face a series of problems such as unqualified steel, insufficient precision, and non-interchangeable parts.
To solve these problems, my Ming Dynasty spent a generation of 20 years, mobilized the research and development strength of the Royal Academy and even various universities and folks, involved more than [-] people, and spent as much as Chongzhen's treasures. Tens of millions. "
Stroking his beard, Song Yingxing said quite complacently: "Your Highness thinks that those barbarians are now exhausted in national power and deceived by people's wisdom. Do they have the strength to accomplish all this?"
Stretching his finger out of the window, Song Yingxing continued: "It is still a mystery how many Chongzhen treasures Jinyiwei spends every year, except for His Majesty himself. In addition, Wei Liangqing and the others reconciled the accounts together, and they could roughly figure it out, and no one would know the rest.
But judging from the benefits that the Royal Academy has received from Jin Yiwei, it is absolutely impossible to be a small number-whether it is in Europe or Ottoman, it can be said that almost all of their current technologies are backed up in the Royal Academy . "
Zhu Cihong couldn't help being surprised.
As Song Yingxing said, Jinyiwei's annual expenses are almost a mystery. Even Zhu Cihong, who has been exposed to many confidential affairs, does not know how much Jinyiwei spends every year.
Song Yingxing obviously didn't finish his sentence: "Even if they obtained the technologies of the previous generation and carried out research and innovation based on those technologies, Jin Yiwei still has a way to get these technologies back."
……
When Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, it was completely dark, and Emperor Chongzhen obviously had no intention of taking a rest, instead he summoned Zhang Zhiji and Lu Xiangsheng into the palace.
After Zhu Cihong finished his salute, Emperor Chongzhen pointed at Zhu Cihong, and said with a smile: "Just now I mentioned that the prince will go to the Royal Academy, now I just want to talk about it, what do you think?"
Zhu Cihong bowed and said: "Qizuo father, my son did not know the specific process of producing a complete musket and the related technologies required until today.
If the technology of the previous generation of muskets is sold to the Ottomans and Mughals, there is no need to worry that they will be able to reverse these technologies to the point of completely independent production.
It's just that the children are still a little worried, so why not add some restrictions to them? "
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Tell me about it?"
Zhu Cilang said: "For example, the steel, gunpowder, etc. needed to make muskets, and whether these weapons can be sold to others after they are manufactured?"
After pointing at Zhu Cihong with a smile, Emperor Chongzhen simply turned his attention to Lu Xiangsheng again: "What does Lu Aiqing think?"
Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "What His Royal Highness said is very true. I think that apart from matters related to arms, other things can be handled in the same way."
This time it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to be a little confused.
What do you mean?Is this going to get the United Nations out hundreds of years in advance, or is it going to get the World Trade Organization out for fun?The problem is, Daming doesn't need this thing to exist!
Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng didn't have the concept of a trade organization, or Lu Xiangsheng himself was a typical hawk and nationalist, and he didn't take other barbarians to heart at all: "If those barbarians violated these regulations , my Daming just happens to be able to suspend people and punish crimes?"
……
Li Chengyan was convinced by the final agreement made by the cabinet and the five-armed governor's office - the technology was provided by Daming, and all raw materials used in production were also provided by Daming, and Ottoman and Mughal were not allowed to seek third-party purchases in private.
If you take a closer look at this munitions production technology transfer agreement, and then strictly implement it, you will find that Ottoman and Mughal spent money to buy technology but there is no use for birds. After all, even raw materials need to be purchased from Ming Dynasty.
To put it in a more intuitive way, the iron and steel cast by the Ming Dynasty before, and now the waste that has no value other than remelting has ushered in its second spring.
It was expected by Li Chengyan, but unexpectedly, even with such harsh terms, Mughal and Osman still held their noses and agreed, and finally signed the contract honestly.
Emmett and Harris finally left Daming after leaving a lot of gold and silver coins, and they also left with a large number of technical materials and technical personnel.
These technicians will guide them in Ottoman and Mughal how to use Daming materials to produce firecrackers and cannons - the previous generation version of Daming's current technology, the kind that even the folks look down on...
However, both Harris and Emmett are very satisfied with this result.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it was not a big problem to buy the latest ammunition from Ming Dynasty, but it was basically impossible to obtain the latest production technology.
Although the technology obtained now is from the previous generation, it can allow one's own country to produce arms without worrying about being controlled by others.
As for the requirement that raw materials must be purchased from the Ming Empire, Harris and Emmett actually didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, contracts are dead, but people are alive.
Before Harris set off, the Khalifa, who was still recuperating after being seriously injured, had hinted several times that no matter how much it cost, as long as he could get the technology from Daming, everything would be worth it.
To a certain extent, the quality is not that important, just a step-by-step improvement. The real key is whether there is or is not.
If not, it can only be controlled by others.
Although the technology obtained now is not advanced enough, and there are still many conditions, it is worth it in the end.
It's nothing to buy from Daming now. When your own country can produce suitable steel, even if Daming stops the supply, it will not affect anything.
As for technology, Harris believes that the talents of the Ottoman Empire can solve all the problems, slowly research and develop, and sooner or later there will be a breakthrough.
As for Emmett, it is more unlucky-this purchase of a lot of outdated technologies is completely temporary. If Harris hadn't been moving back and forth like crazy to get back the arms production technology, Emmett would not have it at all. that thought.
After all, the Mughals are now a vassal state of the Ming Empire, and it is relatively easy to buy arms through the Ming Dynasty, without having to worry about arms like those countries in Europe.
Even Emmett didn't quite agree with Ozerambu's idea.
What Ozerambu wanted was to obtain a large amount of arms through Ming Dynasty, and then immediately go to war against Ottoman, so as to transfer all the domestic pressure to foreign wars.
Emmett believes that the top priority right now is to allow the people to recuperate and recuperate. The continuous fighting is indeed to divert or cover up the conflict, but the burden on the people is even heavier.
If you can still support it right now, what should you do when you can't support it?
The matter of military expenditure is easy to talk about, but after too many people have mastered the military power and accumulated their own prestige through continuous fighting, what kind of turmoil will it bring to the Mughals?
However, Emmett has no good solution, not to mention that the official is overwhelmed to death. As the Mughal king, Ozerambu can do whatever he says now, and Emmett can't let Emmett put forward different opinions.

Chapter 831 Are you going to raise pigs again?
When the Zheng Zhilong brothers and Tang Wang Zhu Yujian brought a group of horsemen to disembark at Tianjin Port, almost everyone was in a daze—is this Daming’s Tianjin Port?
If it hadn't been for a rest in Quanzhou Port before, Zheng Zhilong and Zhu Yujian would almost think that they went to the wrong place.
After shaking his head, Zhu Yujian couldn't help but said to Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, Zheng Fusong, who came to greet him: "Your Majesty didn't order to clean up the barbarians in this place? Well, Tianjin Port has been messed up all over by these barbarians. It stinks!"
Knowing why Zhu Yujian was troubled, Zheng Fusong smiled lightly before persuading him: "These barbarians are not the ones His Highness has come into contact with before, but most of them are from the Holy Roman Empire.
Recently, the cabinet passed a "Mingluo Friendship and Trade Treaty". According to the provisions of the treaty, these people from the Holy Roman Empire will come to my Ming Dynasty to do business and enjoy the same treatment and tax rates as my Daming people. "
Zhu Yujian suddenly became puzzled: "How did this treaty pass with His Majesty?"
Zhu Yujian, who had been to Europe with Emperor Chongzhen, knew what kind of treatment the people of the Ming Dynasty were treated in the Holy Roman Empire, but he never thought that the barbarians from Europe would have such preferential treatment when they came to Ming Dynasty?
Zheng Fusong said with a smile: "It's very simple, Ferdinand III gave the second prince Baden-Württemberg and Saxony to the second prince as his territory on the occasion of his marriage to the Grand Duchess of Bavaria.
Although the area after adding Bavaria is not much larger, Ferdinand III has already shown his sincerity, and His Majesty passed this friendly trade treaty.
Of course, although this treaty is said to be friendly, it is really difficult to say what is going on in it. "
