In the eighth year of the Apocalypse, March 2nd, dusk.

The capital city of Hejian Province, on the field of the university.

Wang Qinian and Cao Wenzhao, the two of them stood on the edge of the school field, looking at the big golden eagle that had just rushed up and turned into a golden light that disappeared in an instant, and their faces were full of solemnity.

The two of them had just received a secret decree from His Majesty the Emperor, and thinking about the content of that secret decree, both of them were in a state of flux.

The Qilin Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion successfully met in Hejian Mansion City half a month ago.

The meeting of the division means that the task of Liangrao has been basically completed, and their two legions can easily occupy and completely control Hejian Mansion and Baoding Mansion.

In the past half a month, the officers and men of the two legions have mainly been engaged in the work of screening civil and military officials, great families, and local tyrants and inferior gentry in these two places.

Of course, the most important thing is to exterminate the family.

And the steady progress of the two basic national policies in these two places was completed by Lu Jiude with more than 200,000 soldiers of the Yongwei Army, and there was no need for Wang Qinian and Cao Wenzhao to worry about it.

Now, another half a month has passed, and with the concerted efforts of tens of millions of people in the royal construction team, these two basic national policies have been basically completed in both places.

Today, Lu Jiude is supervising and protecting the vast royal construction team, dredging and widening various large rivers, building bluestone embankments on both sides of the river, and planting shelterbelts.

According to His Majesty the Emperor's wishes, it is also necessary to dig canals to connect all the large rivers that have been treated.

The most important thing is that all the large lakes and rivers should be diverted by the newly dug Grand Canal, and the river coverage network should be expanded to completely eliminate the threat of flooding.

These two field corps, which had dealt with everything, became idle again except for the soldiers who trained each of them.

And the secret order they just received made the two of them very excited!

Nima's! It's going to be war again!

It's good to fight!

What's more, this time is different from the previous fight, but a big battle!

On the secret decree, let Wang Qinian's Qilin Army divide a division and attack Zhending Mansion in the early morning of March 3, completely occupy and control it.

In the early morning of March 3, that is, tomorrow morning, the remaining five divisions of the Qilin Legion and the Suzaku Legion set off in five routes with the division as a unit, and immediately went south to attack Shandong!

Within a month, the whole of Shandong must be occupied and completely controlled!

This secret decree can make Cao Wenzhao and Wang Qinian, who are already idle, very happy.

"Lao Wang, I won't invite you to drink today."

On the colonel's field, Cao Wenzhao said goodbye to Wang Qinian, and he wanted to arrange various military affairs immediately, so as not to miss the time for the army to launch an attack.

"Huh! Don't be so awkward, when the whole Shandong is defeated, Lao Tzu invites you to drink and drink twenty years of Jinhua wine! ”

Wang Qinian can't wait for this guy to leave as soon as possible, isn't his time just as urgent? There is no time to waste.

No, he has to divide a division to attack Zhending Mansion, which is even busier than this Cao Wenzhao.

In any case, tonight we will have to march all night, and all divisions and regiments must arrive at the designated combat sites as soon as possible, and only in the early hours of tomorrow morning will they be able to launch the first wave of violent attacks.

……

Liaodong, on the banks of the Yalu River, Zhenjiang Fort.

No, it has now been renamed Zhenjiang City.

After large-scale renovation and expansion of the old city, the scale of Zhenjiang City is no longer than that of Xi'an City in Guannei, and it looks like an extremely magnificent giant city.

The towering City Lord's Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, sat motionless with solemn expressions.

Tomorrow morning, March 3, the day of Xuanyuan's birth, is the big day for those Jiangnan rebels, who officially supported the Fu King Zhu Changxun to ascend the throne as emperor, established a puppet dynasty, and swore that the teacher would give orders to crusade against Zhu Youxiao, the "unreasonable monarch".

The two of them are now angry, a little funny, and even have some expectations.

After all, only those traitors and the official establishment of the country will be frenzied and expropriated, and will trigger the unbearable uprising and rebellion of the people at the bottom, breaking the inherent pattern of Jiangnan.

The two of them are only two of the few people who can freely check the vast majority of the Empire's confidential information.

From many aspects, His Majesty the Emperor is good.

Jiangnan is different from Beizhili, Liaodong, and Northwest, where the people are basically able to survive because of their abundant products, and even the homeless people are very few.

In the vast area of the Jiangnan area, the vast majority of the people there do not have any concept of the state today.

Those big families, local tyrants and inferior gentry, as well as those high-ranking officials and nobles who have been passed down from generation to generation, have a much greater status in the hearts of the people than the imperial court and the emperor.

The people at the bottom who have not been exploited and oppressed like cooking oil will be difficult to discipline in the future, and it will also bring bad to the people's hearts in the immediate areas under the imperial court.

After all, a large number of low-level people in Jiangnan now have food to eat, at least they can't starve to death, who will come to join your royal construction company to work after they have enough to eat?

The Jiangnan puppet dynasty cannot take the initiative to attack now, and it must be allowed to mess up on its own.

According to His Majesty's inference, coupled with the increasingly harsh climate and environment in recent years, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng have already believed in the theory of the arrival of the "ice age".

Then, under the inevitable calamity, coupled with the expropriation and extortion of a puppet dynasty, the great peasant uprising of His Majesty will inevitably break out in the area ruled by the puppet dynasty in recent years.

Shattering and rebuilding is the pain that the vast Jiangnan region of the empire must go through.

This is also the price that must be paid for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Empire in the future.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Ming court to gather the hearts of those people in Jiangnan in the future.

Otherwise, it is difficult to break the existing pattern of the Jiangnan region, and it is simply difficult to climb if you want to be reborn from the fire.

"Hey, hey!"

Sun Chuanting suddenly laughed, "Governor Lu, a few days ago, the three major guards army had made a big move, and the Ming, Qilin Legion and Vermilion Bird Legion were also going to attack Shandong. ”

"This time, it's time for us to move."

Before he and Lu Xiangsheng were three years old, they received a secret order from the big golden eagle, asking them to let Liu Zongmin's White Tiger Army and a garrison army immediately attack Goguryeo in the early hours of tomorrow morning!

It was the established national policy of His Majesty the Emperor to attack Goguryeo and take full control of it and turn it into a state capital of the Ming Empire.

And the choice of March 3 and Sheng Xuanyuan's launch is also to cut off a source of great wealth for many wealthy businessmen in the Jiangnan area, and give them a blow to the head when they are most proud.

You must know that Goguryeo at this time was extremely rich and had a lot of minerals.

In particular, various kinds of ginseng, deer antler velvet and other precious medicinal materials were loaded in large carts in Goguryeo.

Every year, those Jiangnan maritime merchants don't know how many precious materials they have to trade from Goguryeo and how much money they earn!

At this time, after the Ming Dynasty completely occupied Goguryeo, it cut off one of the biggest financial routes of those wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

If a big financial road is cut off, they will inevitably be even more desperate, and to oppress and exploit those low-level people in the south of the Yangtze River, it will cause a series of chain reactions.

It is estimated that the great peasant uprising will also begin to break out in the near future.

Weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself, this is Zhu Youxiao's death order!
