Valley Emperor

Qin Zhifu was put on the air. The three parties on the island of Nan'ao basically managed their own affairs. On weekdays, no one paid any attention to the other, and there were many contradictions.

Especially in order to compete for the scarce food and wages, they even fought once, and hundreds of people were killed and injured.

Qin Zhifu also thought about forcibly integrating military power, but it was not easy to integrate military power. He had no soldiers and no money. When he tried to integrate military power, the generals below found various excuses to mutiny, and they made trouble three or four times. After the small-scale mutiny, Qin Zhifu was also disheartened.

Whatever merits and careers are made, go to the side, this official wants to leave this ghost place and continue to make money in other places, whoever loves to treat this ghost place!

Therefore, Qin Zhifu, the most recent one, was devoted to looking for relationships in the up and down activities, thinking that he could be transferred away from Nan'ao Island!

Now on Nan'ao Island, the three parties are at odds, and the nominal chief soldier Qin Zhifu is determined to find a way to transfer.

Even the navy of the Ming Army is too lazy to pay attention to the Pearl River Estuary now!

It's a pity that although Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty also noticed some unusual situations on Nan'ao Island, he didn't expect that they would have such a serious internal trouble.

This can't be blamed on the generals of the Great Tang Emperor for ignoring it, but because they don't have this imagination at all!

Because of saving others by themselves, although the generals of the Great Tang Wangshi also felt that the combat effectiveness of the opposing pirate army was average, but they never put the pirate army against it.

Be a fool.

In addition, although there are many contradictions between the navy and the army, the conflict is mainly due to the competition for military expenses, but in the Tang Dynasty, obeying orders is the most basic quality. The battle is still cooperative. During the Qiongzhou Strait campaign, the navy sacrificed most of the Second Fleet in order to cover the landing of the army.

This is not the case when the army is fighting, why?

In the final analysis, it was because of the physical problems of the Great Tang kings, that the soldiers did not serve as generals, but directly belonged to the empire, and were loyal to the emperor. The soldiers were not loyal to a general alone.

The generals on the front line, even Hao Bainian, who has outstanding military exploits, have no power to intervene in the supplementary power of soldiers and ordnance, nor the power to intervene in the distribution of army salaries, material procurement, and replenishment. That's all.

In the Datang Army, the power to recruit soldiers belongs to the Ministry of Army, which is not directly affiliated with the Privy Council, but directly under the Cabinet, which is a civilian agency.

The distribution of military salaries and the supplement of ordnance belong to the army itself, but they do not belong to a specific unit.

The salaries of the soldiers consist of two parts, one part is the cost of food and clothing, which will be directly deducted and not distributed, and related materials will be distributed uniformly.

Part of the salaries are paid directly to the soldiers, and these salaries are directly sent by the Salary Department to each army, and then paid on the spot according to the head.

That is to say, the chief officer of the troops at all levels, even Hao Bainian, has no right to interfere in the salary of the soldiers, because his own salary must be taken from the salary department.

Including the promotion and appointment of the soldiers are also directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Quanxuan Department of the Privy Council. Of course, the chief officers of the troops at all levels have the power to recommend, but it is the Quanxuan Department's business to pass through. In other words, even if it is Hao Bainian, He also has no power to promote a second lieutenant to lieutenant.

The above-mentioned decentralization systems were also created by Li Xuan in order to control military power!

Clearly divide the power of each agency, and cannot interfere with each other!

Frontline generals only need to do a good job in training and fighting, and there is no need to worry about other messy things at all, and there is no such power to worry about.

Otherwise, what would Li Xuan do with a large-scale Privy Council?

This has also created a special atmosphere in the Datang Army: the soldiers will not be there!

Even if Hao Bainian has been the commander of the 1st Infantry Division for a long time, and now he is the commander of the 1st Army, the 1st Infantry Division still fights under his command, but in fact his influence on the 1st Infantry Division is limited. It is quite difficult to rebel with the 1st Infantry Division.

But the fact that the Master of the Tang Dynasty is like this does not mean that the Ming army is like this too!

Therefore, it is reasonable that the generals of the Great Tang Emperor did not expect such a change in Nan'ao Island, because you think they are not stupid, but in fact they are not stupid, but they will do stupid things.

However, the Ming Army navy on Nan'ao Island did not move quickly, and the operation of the Datang Navy was much smoother. After clearing the Pearl River Estuary, the Second Squadron began to patrol the sea off the Pearl River Estuary and began to ensure the order of the sea in central Guangdong and the western coast. .

The Ming army navy did not move, and the Flange fleet gradually gave up the blockade, because there was no practical significance to continue the blockade, and they themselves had to continue to do business with the Tang Dynasty, so they gradually It's over.

This situation is the same as when the Folang robots invaded the coast of Guangdong decades ago. After the Folang robots were driven away, they also took revenge for a period of time, but after a period of time they could not hold it on their own, and then voluntarily gave up.

When the Ming army navy and the Folang machine were not blocking the maritime trade routes along the coast of Guangdong on a large scale, the development of maritime trade in the Tang Dynasty also ushered in a new peak of development!

A large number of sea ships began to travel to and from the two ports of Guangzhou and Lianzhou, among which Guangzhou was the main one. These ships carried goods from all over the world or simply gold and silver to Guangzhou, and then sold the goods and purchased a large number of traditional Exported goods, such as silk, porcelain, and recently, some new goods have been welcomed by many merchants.

For example, cotton cloth with high quality but low price, these cotton cloths are all cotton cloth produced by major textile factories, some factories of the Ministry of Industry, and some medium and large private textile factories. Because of the large number of mechanical production, the cost is lower. , higher quality, and these cotton cloths began to be exported in large quantities in addition to being sold internally under the Datang rule.

For example, the soaps, toothbrushes, toothpastes and other gadgets produced by the Royal Chemical Factory were originally obtained by Li Xuan himself to improve his quality of life. They were only used in the palace at first, and then slowly spread out. , and later it was simply the Royal Investment to establish a Royal Chemical Plant, which began to mass-produce and sell.

Although these gadgets are expensive, they are still quite popular with the upper class and are very profitable.

Even the ordnance equipment produced by the arsenal of the Tang Dynasty has recently become an export commodity. Of course, there are no guns and guns, and the Tang Dynasty itself is not enough.

All the weapons sold are cold weapons, such as swords, because the swords produced by the Tang Dynasty are all directly processed from steel. Although the quality of steel swords is not as good as those made by masters, the quality is not bad. , More importantly, the cost is low. In these days, the steel knives of the Tang Dynasty are quite competitive. How competitive is it?

Not only the small countries in Nanyang purchased some, but even the thief army under Yu Dayou secretly purchased a batch through Erdao dealers!

Datang Ordnance is almost universal in East Asia, and it has made a few arsenals to make money and make money!

Anyway, cold weapons like steel knives can't affect the battle situation, and a lot of profits can be made by selling steel knives, so the Tang Dynasty turned a blind eye to this.

I even thought about whether I should just forget about the export of plate armor. The Datang Dynasty used machinery to produce plate armor on a large scale, and the cost was not high. Within the Datang Dynasty, even if the profits from the arsenal had been added, The purchase price of a set of breastplates equipped by ordinary soldiers is only between seven taels to ten taels of silver. Each arsenal is different, but it will not exceed this range.

A set of half body armor requires twenty taels of silver, which is generally lower than the cost of previous iron armor.

The full body armor is much more expensive, generally about forty-five taels of silver.

The above price is not the cost price of the arsenal, but the purchase price of the military, that is to say, the cost price is actually lower~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At the same time, it is worth noting that even the full body armor in the Datang Army , It is not the kind of ornately decorated knight armor in the West, nor is it hand-made, but purely mechanically produced, without any sense of art, and even if the soldier's body is not standard enough, he can't find a suitable size armor to wear.

The armor of the officers can use the standard armor allocated by the military, but it can also be customized and purchased. The price of this customized armor is not easy to say. It is normal to be several times more expensive, even dozens of times more expensive. It is possible, that is no longer the category of standard weapons, but belongs to the category of works of art.

Those armors that are mechanically produced in batches are low in cost, but that doesn't mean the selling price is also low. There was once a sea merchant from a small country in the South Ocean who wanted to buy plate armor after seeing it. The price bought ten sets of half-armor from the Guangzhou Arsenal, and the person in charge of the Guangzhou Arsenal was so frightened that their legs were weak!

However, this transaction has not passed the review of the Ministry of Commerce. The reason is very simple. Plate armor, like guns, is a material that is prohibited from exporting. Why is it prohibited from exporting? Because of the limited production, the Datang Army itself is not enough!

Datang itself is fighting wars, and the output is so small that if it is exported, it will not be enough for itself.

But in general, the current industrial and commercial atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is still quite good, not only the sea trade has begun to develop, but even on land, it is also doing business with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty!

Otherwise, how do you think the gentlemen in Jiangnan use soap!

It was not sold through these sea merchants.

There was also a shortage of grain in the Tang Dynasty some time ago, and a large amount of grain was obtained from the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty through the smuggling channels of Sun Laotou!
