I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

After the meeting, Da Yuer returned to the bedroom.

She sighed and said to herself, "Compared with power, we women are always just a foil, insignificant."

Originally, she wanted to rely on Wu Changqing's covetousness for her and sacrifice herself to gain peace for her son's inheritance.

It's a pity that reality has dealt a heavy blow, making her understand that men love power more than women.

At least, those heroes.

People who love beauty but don't love the country are mostly trash.

How could a hero like Dorgon and Wu Changqing give up the world because of a woman. With the world, do you have to worry about no beauty?

"Niangniang, what should we do if Dahua's army comes over?"

Su Moer worried.

Just a few months ago, she was in the mood for teasing and joking.

But now, she is also aware of the big trouble in the court.

"What else can be done, those men have the final say. We women can only go with the flow and accept our fate."

Da Yuer said with emotion.

This world, after all, is only a world dominated by men. Women have no idea, but no chance to show it.

Not to mention an ordinary woman, even if she reaches her level and reaches the pinnacle of women's rights, it doesn't have much effect.

In the parliament just now, no one asked her for her opinion.

Unless you can achieve the level of Wu Zetian, but in that case, it is impossible to meet. From time immemorial, this is the only case.

Big Yu'er thought she didn't have that kind of ability and couldn't compare to Emperor Wu.

When Su Moer heard the words, she stopped speaking, and she had no way to change the status quo.

Fuzhou.

After Zhu Yujian was defeated in Jiangxi, he returned to Fuzhou.

In Fuzhou, he intensified his trade with Western merchants. In order to please the Western businessmen, he even joined the Catholic Church preached by the missionaries.

In his court, many ministers also believed in Catholicism.

With the support of Catholicism, Zhu Yujian purchased a large number of firearms from overseas.

Purchasing arms, establishing a new army, and developing the economy, Zhu Yujian worked hard in Fuzhou, preparing to make a comeback.

However, it didn't take long before a bad news came. Wu Changqing rebelled and Zhu Yihai died. Wu Changqing announced that he would be enthroned and proclaimed emperor to establish the new dynasty Dahua Empire.

This almost stunned Zhu Yujian. Although Wu Changqing did not respect orders in the past, at least he did not openly rebel.

Without open rebellion, he could still use Daming's remaining power to attract talents.

But now Wu Changqing is no longer covering up, and directly establishes a new dynasty, to change the dynasty.

This is equivalent to a slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty, and the only little majesty of the Ming Dynasty has been slapped away.

Even Wu Changqing killed Zhu Yihai, which was a rebellious act.

Although Zhu Yujian also hated Zhu Yihai very much, he couldn't hate to kill each other with his own hands.

However, when facing Wu Changqing, he and Zhu Yihai were 100% in the same group, representing the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family.

When Wu Changqing killed Zhu Yihai, he was declaring war on him.

Zhu Yujian first pretended to cry for Zhu Yihai's death, and then immediately called the minister of civil and military affairs to discuss countermeasures.

Zhu Yihai, who was standing in front of him, is gone. Can Wu Changqing's goal be said next? It must be him.

"The thief Wu has announced that he will be enthroned on October 10th. After proclaiming himself emperor, they will inevitably attack the south. How should we deal with it?"

Zhu Yujian asked.

"After the thief Wu proclaimed himself emperor, it was already winter. Considering the weather, I think that the thief Wu would not go south until the spring of next year at least. Moreover, it may not be the first to go south, and it is possible to go north first.

After all, there is much more arable land in the north than in the south, and their interests are also in favor of attacking the north first.

So, we have at least five months to prepare. If they don't go well in the north, we'll have more time to prepare. "

Cabinet Minister Jiang Dejing analyzed that his analysis made everyone feel a little more comfortable.

It seems that there is still plenty of time to prepare for the battle.

"Moreover, it is not easy for the Wu army to attack us. The endless mountains can overwhelm their logistics. We can use the terrain to block them. The fighting power of the Wu thieves in the mountains is far inferior to that in the plains. force."

Wu Chunzhi, the Minister of War, said.

As the so-called eight mountains, one water and one field, it refers to the topography of Fujian.

Moreover, this is still a polite statement. In fact, more than 90% of the places in Fujian are mountains.

It is not an easy task to cross this mountain to reach Fuzhou.

"As for the waterway, what should we do if the thief Wu comes from the sea? I heard that among the pirates of the thief Wu, there is a warship that can travel without manpower and without sails."

another official asked.

"Zheng Aiqing, are you sure you can stop the Wu thief at sea?"

Zhu Yujian asked.

Their navy is all in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, and a large part of the army's troops are also in the hands of Zheng Zhilong.

"I will do my best to prevent Wu thieves from invading my waters."

Zheng Zhilong said that when it comes to naval battles, he, the pirate chief, still has a lot of experience.

The Dutch navy was bullied by him and did not want it, so they could only hide in the treasure island.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong didn't worry about winning or losing at all, and he didn't have the heart to try his best anyway. As long as Wu Jun came, he would surrender at the first opportunity.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to fight Wu Jun to the death, anyway, who should be an official, not an official.

As long as Wu Changqing continued to hand over Fujian to him and let him sit here as emperor, he would surrender without hesitation.

With Zheng Zhilong's assurance, Zhu Yujian felt a little more at ease.

In this way, the waterway can also resist Wu Jun for a long time, and he has time to develop.

"Let's discuss the new business tax and agricultural tax."

Zhu Yujian said.

At present, the biggest problem he encounters in his development is that he has no money, and things from foreigners are not free gifts. If you want more firearms, you have to pay.

In Fujian, apart from some tea leaves that can be exported, there are really no high-value commodities.

To this end, Zhu Yujian decided to force the people to raise silkworms, and then spin to make money.

In addition, he also decided to increase taxes, not only to increase agricultural taxes, but also to increase business taxes.

However, this proposal is not very easy to pass.

Today, those who support Zhu Yujian are big landlords, big businessmen, and local gentry. They will certainly not be happy if they want to raise taxes on them.

They support Zhu Yujian because they expect Zhu Yujian to bring benefits to themselves.

If you support him and you have to pay your own taxes, then support Mao, wouldn't it be better to go to Wu Changqing?

In short, this issue has been discussed for a long time, but not many people support it.

Seeing this, Zhu Yujian could only sigh in his heart. If he wants to raise taxes, he will not get their support, and he will collapse sooner or later.

But if you don't raise taxes, you won't have money to develop.

He's already in a dead end, and he won't be able to break it unless there is some way to control the big business class.
