Kunming, the capital of Yunnan.

In addition to the war, Zhu Youlang's biggest concern now is spring ploughing.

Because of the climate, most of Kunming and even the entire Yunnan region are cultivated rice.

But this period at the end of the Ming Dynasty was somewhat special.

Because of the Xiaoice River, the weather is extremely cold.

In this case, hardy wheat is more likely to survive.

Therefore, under the initiative of Yongli monarchs, Yunnan also began to grow wheat in a small area.

In fact, whether it is rice or wheat, yield is the most critical.

Under the premise of limited land in Daming, how to make crops yield high is Zhu Youlang's primary consideration.

If he remembers correctly, the Xiaoice River period should have lasted until the early Qing Dynasty.

That being said, the weather should be starting to get warmer.

So can high-yield rice with two or even three crops in one season be promoted?

Yunnan is dominated by the implementation of military tuns, and it is not difficult to popularize one crop on a large scale.

It's just that this kind of rice has to be taken and seeded to Southeast Asia.

Champa seems like a good choice?

Zhu Youlang decided to send someone to Southeast Asia to take a look, and if he could find a high-yield rice seed suitable for planting, it would naturally be the best.

Of course, in any case, it is impossible for this year's spring ploughing to catch up with the use of new rice planting.

But this kind of thing is considered in the long run, with the current military and financial strength of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang does not think that a year and a half can be reversed to the Manchu Qing.

He personally went to the fields to inspect and came to the conclusion that the model of the military camp should still be maintained.

At present, this efficient centralized output model is most suitable for Daming.

"Your Majesty, the various departments in Shuixi are dissatisfied with the oppression of the Dongyu, and sent someone to send a letter."

Mu Tianbo, who was accompanying him, said such a sentence coldly, which made Zhu Youlang stunned for a moment.

"Oh?"

Zhu Youlang knew very well that in history, Guizhou Shuixi insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, and even lasted until before and after the fall of the Thirteen Families.

Looks like it can be put to good use.

Now Zhu Youlang must unite all the forces that can be united, after all, it is too difficult to turn the tables only by relying on Daming's own strength.

Zhu Youlang pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Does the Duke of Qianguo think that the various tribes in Shuixi can be of great use? ”

It's just that Zhu Youlang really doesn't have much confidence in these toasts.

To say that in addition to Qin Liangyu and the White Pole Army, he really can't think of anyone else in the toast.

Mu Tianbo hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The Shuixi clan is fierce and disobedient. At the beginning, it took a long time for Huang Ming to make them obey the imperial court. Now that Dongyu is perverse, he wants to implement that set of bullshit things in Shuixi, which naturally arouses the anger of people and gods. ”

Mu Tianbo swallowed a mouthful of spit, thought about the wording, and then said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is not talented, he has a slight friendship with the Tusi of Shuixi. If His Majesty does not dislike this matter, the minister is willing to do his best. ”

Mu Tianbo didn't say anything big.

After all, he has the identity of the Duke of Qianguo, and Yungui's toast still gives him some face.

Zhu Youlang nodded.

Now is not the time to be hypocritical, although the Shuixian clan is not a fuel-efficient lamp in history, but as the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

In the face of the great enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, any anti-Qing forces should be used.

"That being the case, there is Lao Qianguo Gong in this matter."

Now the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence has been greatly compressed.

Although Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan can also plan the battle of the Yangtze River, they are too far away after all.

There is a way that far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and Zhu Youlang can rely on Li Dingguo now, and then the thirteen families and the toasts in Guizhou Shuixi.

If Shuixi Tusi can really put a fire in the backyard of the Qing army, the effect is simply not too good.

After all, Guizhou is too close to Yunnan. The army led by Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui has always been a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Ming army did not attack Guizhou first but attacked Chongqing, someone would need to contain the Qing army in the rear.

This is the same as when Wen Anzhi led the thirteen families to storm Chongqing, the real purpose was to relieve the pressure on Li Dingguo in Yunnan.

"The minister is frightened, and he dares not to bow down."

Mu Tianbo said very excitedly.

...

...

After returning to the palace, Zhu Youlang deduced from the map.

It can be seen that there is a hollow area between Sichuan, which is controlled by the Ming army, and the sphere of influence of the Thirteen Families, which is also the reason why Wen Anzhi, who is stationed in Fengjie, does not contact the Thirteen Families so frequently.

This area did not belong to the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but to the zone of the two sides.

Not because they don't want to care, but because both sides need a buffer zone.

This area is very close to Chongqing, Fengjie and Shisanjia, which is of great significance.

Zhu Youlang felt that if he wanted to attack Chongqing, he must first get this buffer zone.

As for Guizhou, a partial division can be sent to cooperate with the Tusi in Shuixi to carry out a feint attack to divert the attention of the Qing army.

In this way, Hong Chengchou will inevitably divide his troops to resist, and Chongqing's current strength is too busy to take care of himself.

By the time Hong Chengchou reacted, this area had already fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

The battlefield is like a chessboard, and every drop requires careful calculation.

After all, Zhu Youlang's troops are limited, and every soldier needs to be used on the blade.

The recruits have been training for a month, and there is nothing wrong with the basic marching formation, but it is certainly impossible to go into battle to kill the enemy.

However, Zhu Youlang decided to involve this new army in this operation.

It may not let them play much role, but at least let them see the blood and practice their courage.

Recruits can only grow when they see blood, otherwise they will always be just recruits' eggs.

The core force of this operation must still be the brave army under the command of Li Dingguo.

Although Yunnan is very poor, there is no problem in raising 50,000 or 60,000 elites.

At least 20,000 men were to be left to defend the city.

That is to say, attacking Chongqing, Zhu Youlang can only bring a maximum of 30,000 people.

Of course, at that time, the thirteen families can be ordered to cooperate in sending troops, and I believe that they will not refuse and have no reason to refuse.

If Chongqing is attacked, it will be of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

The various forces of the Ming army were successfully connected and could look after each other.

It's just that in this way, Zhu Youlang needs to ensure that he has enough strength to hold Chongqing.

In the case that Tan Wen was killed in the Three Pools and the other two defected, most of them could only rely on the strength of the Thirteen Families.

Now that he had an idea in his heart, Zhu Youlang summoned Li Dingguo to the palace to discuss the details.

Zhu Youlang's character is to do everything himself. Since it has been decided to attack Chongqing, it will definitely be conquered in person.

Li Dingguo was very happy in his heart.

Your Majesty has changed a lot of time these days. From the beginning of running away when he saw the wind and grass, to daring to stay and fight against the Qing Dynasty with the soldiers, to the royal driver to regain the lost land.

Li Dingguo was very pleased.

As long as the Son of Heaven has courage, the soldiers will have the confidence to fight to the death with the Dongyu.
