"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think we can do it, you can rest assured! We will do our best to give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

"Your Majesty, as long as there is an unlimited supply of materials and a large amount of manpower, we can do it."

"Your Majesty, we people are the ones who eat this bowl of rice, and you can rest assured that the quality problem is it." ……

Several leading old craftsmen, although their faces were flushed with excitement, they also said very cautiously after careful consideration.

This is normal, although the temptation is huge, but the stakes of one's own family are also very serious.

Especially since these, I have seen that the nobles who used to be powerful and blessed and the usually fierce and vicious Tartars have been arrested, and after all of them have been raided, they have entered the Zheng of the "labor camp".

Those prisoners of labor reform, who are now working as coolies day and night, know that this now powerful emperor is definitely a ruthless figure.

It took more than an hour for everyone to check everywhere, and discussed various plans with each other, and they felt a little bottom in their hearts.

Of course, this kind of major event cannot be decided in such a hurry, and it still needs to go through a period of investigation and planning

The most important thing is to do our best to understand thoroughly the preliminary plan of the port and dockyard that His Majesty the Emperor has just handed over to you.

In addition, on the planning map of His Majesty the Emperor, according to the topography and landform here, the field survey and final planning are carried out.

While everyone was discussing, under Zhu Youxiao's order, Li Dingguo took hundreds of soldiers to start catching fish and grilling them.

The first time I came to the sea in this world, I couldn't go there while doing errands and relaxing my mind, and I didn't eat a delicious meal of seafood and grilled fish.

After eating and drinking, everyone continued to work until the sun began to set, and everyone returned to Zheng of Lushun New Town under construction with great interest

More than a dozen old craftsmen with red faces with excitement, holding Zhu Youxiao's holy decree, and under the escort of a thousand-person guard, most of the qualified craftsmen in the vicinity were gathered overnight.

In the days that followed, there were batches of craftsmen who were sent by the soldiers of the Ming New Army from all over the world.

Most of the artisans who have recently relocated to Lushunkou have no luggage.

The luggage is the most, that is, two or three pieces of torn clothes, and some extremely simple furniture.

The personal conditions of the big guys are not much better than those of most of the poor people in the Guannai.

The vast majority of the craftsmen in this era were extremely poor before, and it was good to be able to survive the reading.

If you don't have enough food, you can't get enough clothes, you are struggling on the death line, you may not be able to pick it up at any time, and you will die, what decent luggage can you have?

Immediately afterwards, with all kinds of materials and personnel, they were constantly sent over by a team of soldiers, and the work of the dock and dock began extremely smoothly.

The lively scene here is not inferior to the construction of a large new city nearby, and the scale is even grander.

Time passed slowly, and more and more craftsmen from all over the country were escorted by teams of soldiers of the new army.

This Port Arthur has become the most lively place in the land of eastern Liaoning.

More than a million people have come together and worked hard, so that every one of them is changing dramatically.

It's just less than ten years, and the first bluestone avenue and bluestone wharf have been basically completed.

Because Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to it, the bluestone avenue connecting Port Arthur City is still 100 meters wide.

Lushun New Town, near the port, is also preparing to build a new type of big city with a radius of ten miles

In the future, it will be one of the nests of the Ming Royal Navy.

No matter how much manpower is spent and how many materials are used, Zhu Youxiao will not hesitate.

He only demanded that all aspects should be the best and most perfect, and everything should be on par with the "high".

……

"Sun Chuanting, I'm going to return to the capital, and I have some things to explain."

In Lushun New Town, in the huge and gorgeous hall of the city lord's mansion that was first built, Zhu Youxiao summoned Sun Chuanting and more than a dozen generals who could rush here for a meeting in a short time.

"You immediately start a new round of recruitment, the scale is: three army garrison corps, each corps is still 90,000 people, under the jurisdiction of three divisions."

"These three garrison corps will be responsible for the guarding of the Liaoxi Corridor, the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Liaoshen Great Plain in the future."

"The Ming Royal Navy will also be formed, and you will be in charge of it for the time being."

Zhu Youxiao made his biggest purpose, "Navy officers, try to recruit from those fishermen, the conditions are similar to those of the army." ”

"Still over sixteen years old, under twenty-five years old, innocent, no bad luxury."

"The officers and men of the Navy tentatively have a regiment of 90,000 men and three divisions under their jurisdiction. From now on, the General Headquarters of the Ming Royal Army and Navy will be established, with me personally serving as the commander-in-chief and Sun Chuanting as the deputy commander-in-chief. ”

"After the formation of the three garrison corps and the completion of a month of training for the new army, Liu Zongmin led the White Tiger Legion and a garrison corps to immediately set off and clean up the Goguryeo Peninsula according to the Liaodong model!"

Zhu Youxiao said with some anger, "These Koreans are an unstable factor, or should they be incorporated into the Liaodong Jurisdiction Academy."

"After recovering Goguryeo, it was incorporated into Liaodong, and Lu Xiang was promoted to governor, responsible for all military and political affairs in Liaodong."

"For Goguryeo, don't treat it differently, just treat it as a government of the Ming Empire, and the normal governance will be the school anyway, everyone will be their own people in the future, and they will all be the people of the Ming Empire."

Zhu Youxiao made his own arrangements for Goguryeo, "Remember, we must treat the people of Goguryeo in the same way as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and everything should refer to the model of the Liaodong Peninsula to carry out major renovation and construction." ”

In fact, the biggest reason why he decided to completely clean up Goguryeo and reclaim this unstable peninsula was that he took a fancy to the rich mineral resources in Goguryeo.

He decided to build a new large-scale iron ore smelting plant in the Iron Mountain area, and vigorously develop Goguryeo's high-quality iron ore and other minerals to meet the increasingly urgent mineral needs of the Ming Empire.

The Goguryeo Peninsula may not look big, but there are a lot of minerals buried in it, including iron ore.

Judging from the current increase in mineral consumption in the Ming Empire, it is enough for the Ming Empire to consume for hundreds of years.

In addition, there are abundant coal resources in the land of eastern Liaoning, and it is very convenient and fast to build a large-scale smelting base in the area of Tieshan, which can reduce the consumption and waste of manpower and transportation to a minimum.

"After the matter of Goguryeo is resolved, Sun Chuanting, you will hand over all the affairs here to Lu Xiangsheng and return to the capital immediately, I have something important for you to do."

"Ming, I will return to Beijing with the Vermilion Bird Legion, the Qilin Legion and the Boy Guard, and all the big affairs here will be handed over to you."

"The legions that stay don't have to worry about having nothing to do."

Zhu Youxiao saw that the generals of the various legions who stayed behind looked a little dejected, and then added:

"After basically completing the promotion of the two basic national policies of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Liaoxi Corridor, and the Goryeo Province, we can take planned actions!"

"The three remaining field legions, with divisions and regiments as units, can also seize the three guards of Duoyan, and it is not impossible to completely drive the Tartars out of the Great Wall area."

"You still have wars, and you have countless loot, waiting for the big guys to plunder! There's no need to worry about anything at all. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the three legions left behind in Liaodong, the generals on the scene, immediately smiled one by one, and their spirits became full of energy.

"Hahaha! Good! Your Majesty, you're so good! ”

"Yes! It's really fun to play tartars! There's a lot of loot, too! ”

"According to me, after two or three months, our three field regiments will set out together, and we will drive that Huang Taiji into the deep mountains and old forests in one go, and be his savage!" ……

Everyone frolicked happily for a while before they fell quiet again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's the general arrangement."

Zhu Youxiao summed it up, "However, everything cannot be as expected, it is impossible for everything to develop according to the normal situation, and accidents happen in everything." ”

"When the time comes, it will be up to Lu Xiangsheng and the staff of the staff to respond calmly according to local conditions! Be prepared to deal with all kinds of accidents, and when you put it into action, you can first use the battle chicken newspaper and my review. ”

Zhu Youxiao explained his arrangements in one breath, and then talked with the generals for a while and announced the dismissal of the meeting.

Everyone left one after another, and Zhu Youxiao came to the tall tower in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, looking at the Lushun City in front of him, which was still under construction, his eyes flickering from time to time, and he did not move for a long time.

He knew that he would not be able to return to the land of Liaodong for at least a year or two.

In the first two, he received secret reports from Xuanzi and Guizi:

Most of the civil and military officials in Jiangnan, the families are powerful, and even some big businessmen have been united.

Some of them contribute people, they have the power to contribute, and they have the money to contribute......

Those traitors are basically ready.

On March 3 after the Spring Festival, the day when the dragon raised its head, officially supported the emperor's own uncle and the favorite son of Mingshenzong, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, to ascend the throne in Jinling City.

Zhu Changxun, the king of fortune, although he is a super fat man of more than 300 catties, is ambitious.

Eight years ago, if it weren't for some reason, he would have been the one who ascended the throne.

This time, he was put on the throne by many forces in Jiangnan in one fell swoop, and he was still so happy that he died?

After many years of wish fulfillment, this big fat man is now estimated to be so beautiful that he is dying.

"Huh!"

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth, "For the time being, you guys will be proud, and now that you can laugh, just laugh a few more." ”

"Soon, you traitors will soon be crying."
