Liu Bianque and Miao Xiuxiu left the palace first, and Emperor Jinghe recruited Liu Mingqi again.
At first, the emperor kept a straight face, "You kid, why are you telling others everywhere? Could it be that I really can't give birth?"
Liu Mingqi didn't care, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the miracle doctor back? I asked him to come and take a look at you. Isn't it a good thing?"
"Go, go, you know how troublesome you are all day long!" The emperor scolded him while taking the tea handed over by Zhao Shou.
After opening the lid, the young man smelled the smell of medicine, "What is this? The prescription Liu Bianque gave you?"
"Well, I drink it by soaking it in water, and there are a bunch of Chinese medicines, and I have to come here every day to give me acupuncture and nurse myself back to health." Emperor Jinghe said while drinking, "My life is really miserable!"
Although he said this, his expression was smiling, obviously very satisfied.
Even he had heard of Liu Bianque's reputation, but Liu Bianque's whereabouts had been erratic before, and he couldn't invite Liu Bianque directly. In addition, he was extremely busy this year, so he forgot about it. .
As a result, there was no need for him to ask now, Liu Mingqi brought him here.
This filial piety is really good!
If it doesn¡¯t work this time, how about letting Mingqi become the prince?
That little guy Ming Guan is so aggressive that it makes people uncomfortable!
This thought only passed by for a moment, and the emperor immediately discarded it.
no.
I must let my son ascend the throne as the emperor, Mingqi and Mingguan can only be his good assistants!
After thinking about it, Emperor Jinghe changed the subject and said, "Have you concluded the business deal with the Chen family? Have you selected all the people?"
"Yes!"
Liu Mingqi said, "In addition to the fifty-one guards who returned from the bloody battle, I also selected two thousand young men around the age of sixteen to go, plus a thousand soldiers from Miao Yan's side. They are the seeds of my Dakang Navy. .¡±
Emperor Jinghe was not very interested in the navy, but he still hated pirates.
If there were not so many pirates helping the Japanese this time, it would have been impossible for the Japanese to land in Fujian and then burn, kill and loot all the way, causing the displacement of more than a million people and hundreds of thousands of casualties, which brought great consequences to Dakang. Huge loss.
So this is the first time that the Chen family goes to sea, and they have to find pirates to practice their skills. This is something he likes to see very much.
For this reason, he also sent a special edict to Miao Yan, asking him to transfer a thousand elite cavalry soldiers to Liu Mingqi.
You must know that out of the 30,000 cavalry soldiers in Miao Yan's hands, there are now only more than 10,000 left, and they still need to be loaned out to others to train new defensive troops, so they are in very short supply.
Liu Mingqi asking a thousand people to leave again would be like cutting off Miao Yan's flesh.
If Emperor Jinghe had not taken action personally, Miao Yan would probably be very unwilling.
Speaking of which, Liu Mingqi was quite sighing.
It was very difficult for me to recruit some people, but Miao Yan recruited 50,000 new soldiers in Yiwu in one go. As a result, everyone in the court did not talk nonsense and even gave encouragement.
Liu Renhuai, the governor of Jiangnan, even expressed his joy.
After all, with 50,000 people guarding Huai'an, Jiangsu can sit back and relax.
Just as he was thinking here, Emperor Jinghe mentioned related matters: "Have the guards of your Prince Yu's Palace, Prince Yi's Palacethese five palaces started training?"
"here we go."
Liu Mingqi nodded and said: "It is better to follow the pattern of the special forces that I wrote, and at the same time make them familiar with the 'Qi Jiguang Formation' method, and Mingjing and my personal guards will train them."
The personal guards refer to the remaining twenty-one people. Although they are more or less disabled, there is no problem in their daily life and there is no problem in training people.
The reason why the guards of the five palaces train together is because the more than 200 guards and the royal rugby team brought out by Liu Mingqi were so powerful that they simply swept away the Japanese slaves and Shiwei people.
Although only a few dozen people came back in the end, they had first-class military exploits.
If it weren¡¯t for their commanders-in-chief, Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing, each of them would be granted a baronship, which would be more than enough.
With such a powerful bodyguard team, of course other princes would also want it.
Originally, Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing were going to train together for Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Yi's Palace, but now they have joined the remaining three uncles' palace guards, which is considered a convenience.
The number of guards who were trained together reached one thousand, two hundred for each palace.
This amount is what the emperor and the court can tolerate.In other words, this person can not only be exempted from punishment, but also get one-tenth of the wealth of all the people whose homes were confiscated.
¡°The imperial court even encouraged all buyers to report on their own, or even fish for law enforcement. No matter what, they could still get one-tenth of the wealth.
With such a two-pronged approach, I believe that those brave businessmen would rarely dare to sell hand cannons to pirates, Japanese, etc.
As long as the number of enemies is not too large, Dakang's army, navy and merchant fleet will not suffer heavy losses.
But you said that it would be difficult to completely eliminate it.
Since ancient times, greed has trumped everything. Driven by heavy profits, some people will always take risks.
Come back to the front.
Emperor Jinghe naturally understood Liu Mingqi¡¯s intention.
First, it emphasizes that the imperial court has absolute control over the control of weapons. It cannot let things like hand cannons wander out in disorder. Otherwise, if the enemies get it, it will also be a nightmare for the Dakang army defending the city.
Secondly, this also increases income for the court.
The hand cannons they bought from Yu Wangfu¡¯s workshop were priced at one tael of silver each, and were sold to merchants for five taels of silver each.
The profit is 400%, which can be called a huge profit.
Even if the costs of transportation, warehousing, management, etc. are removed, 300% is still available.
And this money directly belongs to the central finance, managed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, delivered to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion for sale, and finally paid to the account of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
¡° In this way, one hundred hand cannons is five hundred taels, and two hundred is one thousand taels.
When a Chen family goes to sea, most of them are to fight pirates, so they must buy one or two thousand pieces, which is tens of thousands of taels of silver.
An ordinary merchant ship may only have one or two hundred coins per trip, but there are many merchant fleets that cannot stand up to Dakang!
There are at least thousands of merchant fleets that go back and forth to do business at sea every year, and some even make two or three trips back and forth.
Even if there are only one thousand purchases, that is still an income of one million taels of silver.
¡°If you count the caravans that go farther, the total is two to three million.
"Don't underestimate the two to three million taels of silver. The imperial court's annual silver tax is only 96 million taels of silver."

In addition, the concept of this hand cannon actually comes from when our army was fighting against Japanese pirates. At that time, they were divided into dozens of types of grenades with different names based on different ammunition loads.
???????????? In fact, it was really hard at that time, and we all relied on grenades to survive. Including later in places like Changjin Lake and Shangganling, grenades were the only means for soldiers to fight for their lives.
