Chapter 380: Calling everyone to a meeting, an opportunity comes (Ch 380)

“Prime Minister Wang, Minister Liu, and Old Grand Tutor.”
Ji Qingluo looked at the three people below.
“What do you think Chen Huaixin can do now?”
Wang Qianhe suddenly laughed.
“Your Majesty, Chen Huaixin had already done it when he first deduced it. The steam treasure ship that appeared in the shipyard helped him complete the plan of the Age of Exploration. Have you forgotten all this?”
Liu Yuntang on the side also responded with a smile.
“Yes, your majesty.”
“As long as it’s the same person, it will happen again.”
“What has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again.”
“But this time there will surely be more direct changes.”
Guo Baoyi just smiled and said nothing.
All that is left is to witness this scene.
What Chen Huaixin actually knows in his dreams and in his heart can help him complete his current plans.
At least he could take revenge successfully and start the battle for supremacy in the Age of Navigation again.
Today’s land war is still their main battlefield.
However, as long as the sea routes are opened far enough, the territory can be expanded outward.
As for how Chen Huaixin later planned to resettle those foreign citizens, that is another story.
Only more than ten years have passed, but compared to the first deduction, the efficiency is more than doubled!
…
[Officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel came with the Shangshu.]
【They are all here to help solve problems. 】
【“Everyone, I have three things to ask you today.”】
【“Ships, weapons, and resource allocation.”】
[“Let’s talk about the ship first!”]
[“Strengthen the front and rear sides, and install new steel internal seals on the top and bottom. The materials used in the cabin must be solid, but they must be adapted to the optimal draft position. The basic configuration of the hull must also be appropriately adjusted. I want this ship to sail fast and more importantly, stable.”]
[After these words were spoken, the Minister of Industry beside him scratched his head anxiously.]
[It feels like this is coming towards me! ]
[It was just a small thing before. Even for steam locomotives and train engines, there were blueprints to follow. If things got worse, we could ask the current queen, Ji Changxi, to come and give us guidance.]
[Now he is in charge of everything himself.]
[It concerns the reputation of Yuguo at sea in the future. 】
[“The second thing, weapons!”]
[“Notify the shipyard not to rush to pile up the shells. The previous muskets did have some problems. At least now we can’t continue to use them the same way.”]
[“I have an arrangement here, you just need to follow it.”]
[“Gather all the weapons that can be mobilized at present, and bring all the gun barrels of various calibers here…”]
[“These weapons all need to be debugged, whether they can be loaded, whether they can be used normally at sea, the long-term storage and partitioning of gunpowder, remember to avoid spontaneous combustion accidents.”]
[“The prerequisite for the guarantee of all supplies is sufficient weapons. Not only the basic equipment such as swords, spears and daggers, but also long-range weapons must be equipped. As for how much you can equip, I don’t care. This is the business of your Ministry of Industry.”]
【“I have only one request.”】
[“When we encounter those foreign enemies again, we must use artillery fire and heavy weapons to plow their base from beginning to end, whether it is scorched earth or barren land, those who violate our country will be severely punished.”]
[The officials standing below all looked solemn upon hearing this. It had been a long time since they had seen their Majesty so angry.]
【“There are also personnel changes in the Ministry of Personnel.”】
【Chen Huaixin looked at another group of officials.】
[In addition to the navigator, we also need to arrange for the guerrilla generals who will sail on the sea. We need to find warriors who are good at swimming. They must not only have the ability to take on the responsibility, but also know how to advance and retreat and understand the overall situation.]
[“Go ahead and screen them. The list of candidates will be handed over to me next month. I will conduct a strict review and examination. Don’t be careless.”]
[“Looking for ship guards who are proficient in foreign languages ​​to serve as translators. Those who are suitable will be promoted three levels. Internal selection is not allowed. Foreigners are not of our race and their hearts must be different.”]
[The two ministers standing below nodded their heads.]
【“The third thing.”】
【Speaking of this, Chen Huaixin glanced around. 】
[“Have the officials from the Ministry of Granaries, the Ministry of Treasury, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Water Conservancy arrived?”]
[“Your Majesty, we are here.”]
【Seeing that everyone was present, Chen Huaixin immediately talked about the third thing.】
【“The third thing is resource allocation.”】
[“Previously, we only explored foreign countries through ocean trade. What we need to do next is not only to have friendly exchanges with them, but also to focus on state visits.”]
[“As for this so-called state visit, it requires a lot of resources to be consumed over a long distance. In addition to the weapons just arranged, the rest of the daily food, clothing, and various consumables are all taken into account.”]
【“Everyone, go do it.”】
[“The next review is expected to be completed at the end of this year.”]
[The ministers responded.]
【Chen Huaixin arranged for them to withdraw.】
[I had originally planned to take a good rest for a while, but I didn’t expect the marine accident to disrupt the existing environment. ]
[“In that case, we’ll settle the score later!”]
【Chen Huaixin looked outside the palace, high up in the sky, gazing far into the distance, wanting to see the entire Western Region and the land beyond.】
[We will start again next year, with a wide range of routes to be opened, and plan for another three years. ]
[We must completely conquer these opponents at sea. ]
[If they had not fought, they would have saved themselves a lot of trouble. ]
[If you don’t know the depth of the situation and engage in warfare, then you can settle the war with the sea and light the beacon fire on the rivers. ]
…
Chengguo.
In the court.
Everyone was shocked by the momentum.
Only then did they understand what it meant to have a tiger in one’s heart, and that ambition always hides in invisible places.
Before this, Chen Huaixin had been consolidating his power in his own country, and his plan of foreign conquest had been stagnant for seven years.
Since the tenth year of Jingping, there has basically been no open war against the outside world.
This time he can be considered as an opportunity to make use of the topic to make a point.
The mistake made by Rome, ancient India and those pirates was that they should have eradicated the problem completely instead of letting it go.
Today, Chen Huaixin has enough reasons to open up ocean routes.
And extend this front all the way to Western Europe and other places.
What is different from the first deduction is that this time it directly opened the Age of Discovery and took the shortest time.
With today’s weapons and equipment, it would be easy to defeat those forces at sea.
I still remember that in the last simulation, they were just a group of navigators led by Taoism, and their purpose was only to find a new continent. Only in the later period did they begin to plan for external naval warfare.
This time, it will only take seventeen years, and basically all the arrangements made over the past twenty years will be completed.
“This… is outrageous.”
Everyone in the Ministry of Works looked at each other.
At this moment, they were deeply shocked by Chen Huaixin’s plan.
