Valley Emperor

Many struggles between the 6th Army and the Navy will eventually be reflected in the distribution of military expenditures.

Because whether it is the 6th army or the navy, military expenditure is extremely important, because military expenditure directly represents the establishment, the war expenditure, and the credit.

The big votes of soldiers at the bottom are all staring at it, and the big bosses above will naturally try their best to compete.

As for the Minister of the Privy Council of the 6th Army, the Minister on Duty of the Royal Study, and the General of the 6th Army, Lei Wan; the Minister of the Navy Command, the Minister on Duty of the Royal Study, and the Admiral Bao Yifen, why did the two actually not participate in any large-scale battles? , and even less prominent credits. Strictly speaking, the two of them are not even commanding generals. They can only be said to be civilian generals. In the end, they were able to enter the imperial study, and even among the great conferring heroes at the end of the eighth year of Xuanping, their respective He became an admiral, and the other generals were not dissatisfied.

Because they are the representatives of the 6th Army and the Navy in the imperial study! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Their mission is to serve as a bridge of communication between the Son of Heaven and the 6th Army and the Navy, and at the same time fight for the best interests of their respective military branches in the imperial study.

And they have done a great job over the years!

Therefore, the other generals have no dissatisfaction with them.

In the 6th Army, in addition to high-level generals like Hao Bainian who can command a large corps, they also need Lei Wan, who can deal with the cabinet and the navy, and safeguard the interests of the 6th Army in Jinling!

The role of Bao Yifen in the navy is the same as that of Lei Wan.

Therefore, on this occasion today, they are also the most active. Hao Bainian started, the Navy followed up, and then Admiral Lei Wan began to join the battle group based on the scriptures and explained the necessity of entering Annan.

When Lei Wan said this, he was not only considering the issue from a military point of view, although he also said that entering Annan can protect the interests of the southwestern part of the empire and directly threaten Malacca on the 6th land. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

But he also said that there is a large-scale high-quality coal field in northern Annan. The Ministry of Commerce has noticed that in the past two years, many businessmen have imported coal from northern Annan.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, the coal produced by the coalfields in northern Annan is the finest anthracite coal, and large coalfields capable of producing high-quality anthracite coal in large quantities have not yet existed within the empire.

What is coal for?

The simplest is to use it as a fuel. In recent years, with the large-scale opening of coal fields in the empire, and after promotion, briquettes made from coal fields have been used as fuel for cooking and heating in many cities.

Speaking of which, the briquettes were made by the Royal Institute of Technology under the guidance of Li Xuan!

But more importantly, coal fields are also important industrial raw materials! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Because with the continuous improvement of the steam engine by the Royal Institute of Technology, the steam engine has now been widely used in industry.

However, it is also gradually being used in other industries. For example, Jiangnan Textile Company has installed steam engines as the power for textile machines in its Songjiang Textile Factory.

Although the current cost of steam engine power is higher than that of water power, it has also been reduced from a dozen times in the early years to four or five times. Although the cost is high, it also brings another advantage, that is, stability!

The various external influences of water power are too great, and the power output is not stable enough, while the steam engine is not so troubled. As long as the machine is not broken and the coal is sufficient, it can continue to output power continuously.

Based on the demand for civil fire heating and the gradually expanding industrial application of steam engines, the Ministry of Commerce has listed coal as a strategic import material, and has greatly reduced import tariffs. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

At the same time, the major enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are also actively opening coal mines. To this end, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises even specially prepared a Northern Coal Company to open coal fields in Tangshan, Hebei.

In addition to coal resources, Admiral Lei Wan also highlighted that the fertile land on the Southeast Asian peninsula such as Annan is the most suitable place for rice cultivation, and he also took Champaign rice as an example.

Champaign rice is a kind of imported multi-season rice, which is currently planted in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other regions of the empire.

With Champaign rice as an example, it makes people feel that the Southeast Asian peninsula is a granary with fertile land!

But the admirals of the navy are all well-informed, and they debunked the trick of the 6th Army, saying that although there is plenty of rain in the Southeast Asian peninsula, the rain is too abundant. Every rainy season is flooded, which is almost all a The swamp or simply the vast ocean, what kind of fields are cultivated! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Moreover, all kinds of poisonous insects are all over the place, and the climate is quite bad. Some areas are even worse than the Luzon Islands and the Banten Islands. It is a fortunate thing that half of these immigrants have survived in the past 1,000 people.

In this regard, the superiority of the 6th Army retorted, saying that the floods are flooding because the local indigenous people do not understand water conservancy construction. The peninsula of Southeast Asia is not a granary?

As for the problem of disease, this is a difficult problem, but if there is a problem, is it necessary to be intimidated?

He also said that the Department of Medicine of the Royal Institute of Technology has compiled a complete set of methods for preventing and treating immigrants' diseases. According to this method, when the experiment was carried out on Dayuan Island, the invasion of the disease has been successfully and effectively curbed. The death rate of immigrants has dropped from 30% to 15% within a year! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

At that time, this method can also be completely replicated in the Southeast Asian peninsula.

When Lei Wan of the 6th Army said that the death rate of new immigrants had dropped from 30% to 15%, Li Xuan, who was sitting on top, sighed!

Not to mention that outsiders really don’t know, the immigration mortality rate is quite high these days!

The big 6 local immigrants are okay, although there will be situations of acclimatization, but they can still be overcome.

But immigrating overseas is much more difficult!

For example, Dayuan Island, which has been open for many years in the Tang Dynasty, although this island is called the mainland, has always been sparsely populated, making it extremely difficult to open.

So much so that the place has been a major penal colony for the past few years.

Why, because the population of Dayuan Island needs to be replenished by exiles! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Due to the influence of acclimatization, the mortality rate of immigrants to Dayuan Island has remained high in the past few years!

In the early years, there were 1,000 immigrants in the past, and after a year, it would be good to have 600 or 700 people alive. The rest died due to various reasons.

This is the case on Dayuan Island, and even more so on Luzon and Wandan. The only better situation is Ryukyu House, because the climate of this place is similar to that of the empire itself, and the situation of acclimatization is not so serious.

Later, Li Xuan instructed the Department of Medicine of the Royal Institute of Technology to make some time to study some methods of preventing and curing immigration diseases when studying the corpses.

In particular, the control of mosquitoes, flies and other pests is a top priority!

The madmen in the Department of Medicine at the Royal Institute of Technology naturally attached great importance to this task. After some research, they concluded a method for preventing and treating immigration diseases. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, it is said that it is a method specially used to prevent and control immigration diseases, but in fact it is a method to prevent and control infectious diseases, and the focus is not on cure, but on prevention.

Because the current Royal Institute of Technology Department of Medicine only stays at the medical level of anatomy, it is not very reliable to rely on them to treat diseases. These days, traditional Chinese medicine is more reliable, but even Chinese medicine , is also unaccustomed to this so-called soil and water, which is actually a variety of infectious diseases, such as dengue fever, filariasis, etc.

If these viral diseases can be solved, TCM will not be TCM anymore!

Not to mention traditional Chinese medicine, even modern medicine in the 21st century of later generations can only focus on the prevention of dengue fever, and the treatment can only be to treat the symptoms, such as bed rest, replenishing body fluids, lowering body temperature, etc. As an auxiliary method, as for directly killing pathogens, I am sorry, but I cannot do it. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Dengue fever is just one of many diseases, and with different geographical environments and climates, there are many kinds of infectious diseases, especially in tropical regions.

Therefore, the prevention and treatment methods of the Royal Institute of Technology's Department of Medicine are actually general methods to prevent common infectious diseases. The focus is to isolate the source of pollution, including isolating the sick, cutting off the route of transmission, maintaining hygiene, doing disinfection, and protecting vulnerable groups.

And this method is also in line with the clean and tidy city appearance that the Tang Dynasty has always pursued.

In the early years, Li Xuan hated the mess, and was even more afraid of death, so he strictly required every city to do a good job in hygiene. It is inevitable that they will be demoted and dismissed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Therefore, in today's Datang Empire, the work of city appearance and city appearance is one of the most important tasks for the chief officials of almost every city. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

And this habit also continued to overseas colonies.

Even so, the death rate of immigrants is still too high.

After all, in the absence of various antibiotics, drugs that can prescribe the right medicine are still quite difficult to fight against various infectious diseases.

But this does not mean that the empire will stop the pace of overseas immigration!

The overseas immigrants of the empire were paved with bones!

Not only the corpses of the local indigenous people, but also the corpses of their own soldiers and immigrants!

Seeing the quarrel between the 6th Army and the navy, the direction from Malacca to Annan, to the entire Southeast Asian peninsula, and then to overseas colonization, maritime transportation and other messy issues.

Li Xuan finally couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand slightly!

As soon as he made this action, the 6 admirals who were still noisy and lively all shut up, and then sat down and held their chests up, because they all knew that the time for the two sides to argue has come, and the next is Shengtianziyan It's time.

Be disrespectful, you are courting death!

Watching the ministers sit down, shut up!

Li Xuan slowly looked around!

Then he said slowly: "The peninsula issue will be discussed later, and today we are talking about the Portuguese issue!"

This sentence, you can see that the generals of the 6th Army and the navy are all relieved, and the discussion is postponed, which means that there is still a chance for each of them!

"As for the Portuguese problem!" Li Xuan stopped here when he said that!
