I want to ruin the country

Yining Road,

"What the army fights for is faith and morale!

This was the first brutal battle since the formation of the new army. We must make a big fuss out of this great victory!"

Lin Zexu said,

"What does the emperor mean?"

Yining Road,

"The entire company is as firm as steel on the battlefield, so I commend them as the Seventh Steel Company and award them a first-class collective merit.

Qin Zizhong and three others were named special-class combat heroes! "

"It should!"

Yining said again,

"Qin Zizhong has strong beliefs, strong organizational skills, and is a skilled fighter. He is a man of both courage and strategy, and I have promoted him to Major, Battalion Commander!"

"Officers like this should be reused!"

"Others will be given priority for promotion after they recover from their injuries, and generous pensions will be given to martyrs. The local government must take good care of the martyrs' families.

We must ensure that a martyr can support his entire family, so that soldiers can go to the battlefield without worries!"

Lin Zexu was very impressed after hearing this.

"The Emperor said that we must not let the soldiers shed blood and tears, and we must not let the families of the martyrs feel disheartened!"

Yining said again,

"Let the Ministry of Revenue allocate funds, and every county must build a martyrs' shrine to bury the remains of martyrs for people to pay their respects.

From now on, we will establish a system whereby students will be organized to hold memorial services at the Martyrs' Shrine whenever an official takes office, leaves office, or during Qingming Festival, the Ghost Festival, and the first day of the tenth lunar month!

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Lin Zexu took out two more memorials from his sleeves.

"Your Majesty, various factories are now operating. Although we have the treasury to support them, it is not a long-term solution.

This old minister has two memorials to submit, Your Majesty, please review them!"

Yining took it and looked at it. It said, "Your Majesty, I, Lin Zexu, report to you on the matter of lifting the ban on sea trade!"

It suggests that the ban on sea fishing should be lifted publicly, allowing fishermen to go out to sea to fish and do business with foreigners, and not to remain complacent.

The other was a reform plan to open up trading ports and collect likin taxes.

Yining slapped his head, wondering how he could have forgotten about this.

The Qing Dynasty implemented measures such as "banning fishing and salt, banning trade, moving military defenses inland and relocating them to the sea."

It hasn’t been publicly lifted yet. Isn’t this nonsense!

Yining Road,

"Lord Lin, I don't need to look at these two memorials in detail. I approve them. Immediately issue an order to lift the maritime ban.

Except for salt and tobacco, all other things are lifted, just pay the tax according to the law! "

Lin Zexu said,

"I will do it right away. Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"

Yining said again,

"Build more shipyards and larger fishing boats to allow fishermen to venture out to the vast ocean!

From now on, ordinary fishermen should not be taxed. Let them rest and recuperate first!"

"Yes, this is a blessing for the people of Daqing!"

Yining remembered again and said,

"Then we will open up treaty ports along the coast, including Vladivostok, Dalian, Yingkou, Huludao, Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Yantai, Qingdao, Lianyungang, Songjiang, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shantou, and Beihai!"

Lin Zexu was stunned. Is the emperor so generous?

"Your Majesty, some places don't have the conditions to open up for trade!"

Yining said firmly,

"If the conditions are not met, then we should create them. Open up trade, buy and sell freely, and just pay taxes according to the law!

Yes, regarding the tax reform you mentioned above, I will give you a detailed reform plan in a couple of days. You can study it and then promulgate and implement it after it is feasible!"

"Old minister, I obey the order!"

Lin Zexu was in a good mood. Collecting this tax revenue could solve most of the financial problems!

Now Daqing’s technological development has reached a booming stage!

Petroleum refining successfully separates diesel, gasoline, kerosene, lubricating oil and various derivatives.

The manufacturing of special alloy steels has also been a great success. It is inevitable that they will succeed. With ready-made material formulas, is this still a problem?

This means that steel for building warships and cannons is no longer a problem.

The rubber factory also went into production. With the rubber factory, Yining’s dream of riding in a car took a big step forward.

Plastics have also been produced, and many major problems have been solved. At least all kinds of pipes are no longer a problem.

With steel and plastic, we can vigorously develop wind power generation, which is a clean energy with a very high cost-effectiveness.

There are all kinds of lathes, grinders, milling machines, small forging machines, etc.

Textile factories, fertilizer factories, pesticide factories, optical instrument factories, etc. were gradually put into operation, and construction was underway everywhere in the country.

Railways are also under preparation, and transportation still depends on trains. Today's trains have directly surpassed steam locomotives and use internal combustion engines.

After discussion, Yining and Zhang Xiang decided to produce a simple single-cylinder diesel engine first.

With materials, drawings and processing equipment, it didn't take long for Zhang Xiang and his team to come up with their 12-horsepower diesel engine.

Historically, the diesel engine was invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel in the late 19th century.

In 1898, Diesel gave the right to produce diesel engines to B&W.

In 1903, B&W produced an 8-cylinder 4-stroke diesel engine.

This diesel engine has a cylinder diameter of 530 mm, a stroke of 750 mm, and a single-unit power of 1250 horsepower.

A 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine is simpler and more practical to manufacture than an eight-cylinder engine.

The 12-horsepower diesel engine has an extremely low failure rate and can generate tremendous power.

In later generations, a twelve-horsepower tractor once created the miracle of carrying ten tons of cargo.

This is due to its unique design.

At the end of the engine's compression stroke, the fuel injector begins to spray and burn.

This simultaneous injection and combustion method results in a relatively slow speed, a longer combustion time, and a correspondingly larger turning radius of the diesel engine.

This makes the power arm longer and the traction generated is greatly increased.

Although its theoretical carrying capacity is only one ton.

However, the later 12-horsepower diesel tricycle could carry two tons of cargo very quickly.

Tractors whose gearboxes focus more on torque output are even more terrifying, and can easily carry five or six tons of cargo.

And the biggest advantage of this diesel engine is that it can be started without electricity.

Even in high-altitude and cold areas, temperatures of minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius are no problem.

Just find a way to heat the diesel engine with hot water or fire, plug in the crank, crank it a few times, and then press the decompression button to start it.

The disadvantage of a single-cylinder diesel engine is that it is too noisy.

But the flaws do not outweigh the merits. Let’s first solve the problem of whether it exists or not!

This type of diesel engine can be used for both military and civilian purposes after it comes out.

In agriculture, it can be used for transportation, plowing, and as a small wheat and rice harvester, etc., and can show its prowess.

Yining plans to equip the army with tricycles and tractors as transportation tools.

Just two tricycles can transport a fully armed squad of soldiers forty kilometers away within an hour.

In this day and age, such transportation capacity and speed are already overwhelming for the enemy.

The most important thing is that this type of tricycle and tractor is highly adaptable. No matter whether it is mountains or plains, no matter whether it is densely watered areas or vast deserts and Gobi, nothing can stop it.
