Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, looking like a person who had experienced it, good boy, do you still want to fool me? Before Jingnan, I was also fooling those generals in Jingnan like this, and I also realized the fooling me of that year.

You played this trick for me, and it was a little tender.

That's what he said, combined with the facts, Zhu Di still believed the words of Twilight: he focused on overseas.

But I have a grudge against the migration.

It would be strange if Zhu Di felt happy if millions of people were taken away by you at any time.

Zhu Di remained silent and thought for a moment, "It's too far to think about it now. The Golden Horde rebellion continues, the Jurchen defense line is solid, and North Korea sways left and right and is reluctant to invite him. What does Japan seem to be without threats except for the merchant ships that disturbed me coastal robbing overseas trade."

It’s not Zhu Di’s fault at dusk.

In this era, you tell everyone in the Ming Dynasty that Japan will cause a disaster in China in the future. Not to mention that half of the people are no longer surnamed, even the far-sighted scholars do not believe it.

Zhu Di would not believe it.

Just the small island country of Japan, why does it take to land?

Xun said seriously: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. For example, before fighting Yilibali, can you believe that Weichen defeated the 20,000 vanguard army of Nigmamati with just one Taishan? If Japan in the future also has some kind of magical artifact, it is not impossible to defeat our army of hundreds of thousands of Ming Dynasty with tens of thousands of people."

If we think about the will of our ancestors and heroes in China in the War of Resistance Against Japan, what kind of will did our ancestors and heroes to defeat Japan with a crushing advantage in military equipment, now I think it’s incredible.

In analogy, it is a country like the Golden Horde, which has a particularly powerful intra-revolutionary country that repelled the entry of hundreds of thousands of Shenji camps in the Ming Dynasty with the lives of countless people. However, the Golden Horde had already collapsed in the face of less than 30,000 firearm troops.

Will, belief, and even civilization are not on the same level.

Zhu Di was stunned.

I suddenly woke up, yes, now the war has entered an unprecedented new era. At present, military strength is still important, but sooner or later it will evolve to the importance of military strength less than firepower.

At dusk, the Khanate of Yili and the Khanate are examples, both of which win with less.

And the one who directly breaks the other party.

However, fighting Japan is more troublesome and requires a large number of naval troops. Well, the navy, and Zheng He's navy is currently in place, but the steel warship has not yet been fully launched.

However, various artillery and machine guns have been pulled to the shipyard, and the massive amount of coal that has been mined hard has been transported. Just wait for the steel warship to solve several difficult technical difficulties and then equipment is launched.

However, according to Zheng He's seal, it will take about one and a half years.

Last time I said it was one and a half years.

However, after pushing forward at this time, Zhu Di was a little doubtful whether this steel warship could be built. If not, he would have to return to the traditional wooden warship as soon as possible.

Don't let the steel fleet be broken by itself instead of the navy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was silent for a while, "Or, you go to the coastal shipyard to help Sanbao and get the steel warship ready as soon as possible. Since you can get the Taishan, the steel warship should not be bad. The Taishan is just an iron warship running on the ground."

Xun laughed dryly, "Your Majesty, your skills are specialized. How simple is the Taishan. As long as there is a steam engine, then set it up a little, formulate each part according to the power, form an overall linkage, and then control the weight, but the warships are different. The draft height, combat and life, as well as the layout of many parts such as ammunition, grain reserves, and even the size of the steam engine, are all professional knowledge and technology, and I really don't understand this."

It is estimated that the current technical difficulties of steel warships should be focused on two advantages: in the boiler room, how the steam engine adapts to the improvement of the warship; how the overall weight of the warship can achieve a perfect draft ratio.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

Especially draft problem.

The difference between steel warships and wood is that the wood itself has to float on the water surface, while the steel warships have the most direct relationship with draft. On the one hand, you have to make sure that they float. On the other hand, if the water in the pool is too shallow, the boat is poor in stability while driving, and the water in the pool is too deep, the boiler will be struggling, resulting in insufficient power and slow driving.

This requires many experiments.

Therefore, the steel warships built by Zheng He's shipyard have actually been launched many times, but they have been re-rected because they cannot meet their performance. This is a pain that must be experienced.

After all, it is a product of cross-age.

Zhu Di was no longer anxious. Anyway, he didn't need to fight the Jurchens, and the Golden Horde was even less needed.

He asked, "Then when do you think you will hit the Jurchen again?"

After thinking about it, "I have been fighting the Jurchens for the past two years, and my morale has been depressed. Now it is almost the end of summer. It will soon be snowing in the north. It is not suitable to send troops again. It is better to wait until late spring next year and deal with the Jurchens in one go."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "I think so too."

The Jurchens are more tenacious than the Golden Horde.

More troops need to be invested. After all, the Ming Dynasty had to expand its wars for half a year, so the army should be repaired for half a year, otherwise the soldiers would easily become tired and their combat power would continue to decline.

Moreover, it is really hard to fight in winter for the Jurchen side.

It snowed heavily and the mountain was a natural barrier for the Jurchens, so the window period for Nuer to attack the Jurchens was actually very short.

Sunset breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I passed this difficulty.

but……

He couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, at this time, it is not a wise operation for the Second Highness to be crowned king. You will let the generals who supported the Second Highness before the Ming Dynasty see hope. In this way, the Second Highness will have to fight with the prince again. If there is a turmoil in the country, why do you still talk about external expansion?"

Zhu Di did not comment.

Wave your hand, "If you have nothing to do, just retreat."

He stood up at dusk and saluted, "The empress is leaving, and needs to go back and prepare some things, and go to worship the Queen tomorrow."

Zhu Di suddenly shouted at dusk, "By the way, the autumn examination is coming soon, the chief examiner of the autumn examination, I plan to let Wu Pu be the role. When you go back, you will meet Wu Pu, tell him and let him prepare early."

Dusk is puzzled, "Can he get free?"

The autumn examination lasted for more than half a month, and the exam took a few days, and the papers were reviewed for several days. The chief examiner and other examiners had to enter the examination room two days in advance. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, there was no time to delay it.

Zhu Di thought, "Then I will find your uncle Huang Guan back to serve as the chief examiner of this autumn examination. I know you have been thinking about implementing education reform, so when Huang Guan comes back, you can discuss with him. The first step of education reform will start from this autumn examination this year. Then you will have a plan for autumn examination reform. If you submit it, you will be able to implement it after I agree."

His eyes lit up at dusk, "Then you have to send Wu and Bi to serve as examiner."
