"Well, I'll have to go to Port Arthur."

It's just that after staying in Shengjing City for seven days, and just straightening out the somewhat messy situation in the Great Northeast, Zhu Youxiao couldn't sit still.

In the past few days, Xiao Guizi has brought some information about the Jiangnan puppet dynasty several times.

It's just that, unlike the previous bad news, this time it's a good thing.

The civil and military officials of the Jiangnan puppet dynasty now see that they have almost finished building a million-strong army of the new four towns in Jiangnan, and the old mistakes have been made again.

There is no doubt that everyone now has enough force in their own hands, even if it is the Northern Expedition "Unconscious Monarch" Zhu Youxiao's big operation, it will take a long time.

But with a million troops in hand, there is no problem for his own Southern Ming Dynasty to keep the huge area south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, a round of open and secret struggle for power and profit began to be staged frantically in the Jiangnan puppet dynasty.

This is also normal.

These civil and military ministers, for the sake of their behind-the-scenes people, seized a lot of benefits, which is the consistent specialty of the Ming Empire before August last year, as well as the current Jiangnan puppet dynasty.

After all, how big are the interests of a puppet dynasty in Jiangnan that has just been established?

Those big families, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy families are clear in their hearts.

These huge benefits, you want, I want too, everyone wants.

If you get more benefits, I will definitely have less, so a series of open and secret battles naturally happened.

In all dynasties and dynasties in history, most people know that those civil and military ministers are arguing endlessly, and most of the swords and swords in the open and in the dark are life and death.

That's what those great competing interests have been, and it's been the same since ancient times.

And this kind of battle, before August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, reached the peak of history, and even the emperor was killed two in a row by those civil and military ministers!

And then what?

Then there was the Ming Empire, which fell after just seventeen years.

Now that's it, the Ming Empire in the north is getting stronger and stronger, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the threat is definitely getting bigger and bigger.

And these civil and military ministers of the Southern Ming Puppet Dynasty and the wealthy families are already eager to fight.

In addition, the so-called wool came out of the sheep, and the Southern Ming puppet dynasty increased taxes, smoked ding, and forced labor...... A series of sheep shearing policies have been introduced and implemented.

It is foreseeable that this Southern Ming puppet dynasty, or it won't be long, will be boiling and chaotic.

The scene of the Ming Empire eight years ago was undoubtedly in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and you kept going back and forth.

However, this is a great thing for Zhu Youxiao.

I'm not afraid that they will play, but I am afraid that they will not play.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao has never looked at the Jiangnan puppet dynasty in his eyes.

For those big families and wealthy businessmen, the situation of unity of one heart is absolutely unsustainable.

It has lasted for more than half a year now, and all kinds of internal contradictions have begun to erupt, which has exceeded Zhu Youxiao's expectations.

That's why he didn't do much to expand rapidly.

Zhu Youxiao must clean up a place, control a place, develop a place, and slowly move forward, and remove most of the hidden dangers, so that he can feel at ease.

Otherwise, with his strength, he would have already unified the whole country by now, where would the previous Ming Empire be divided into three.

The main reason for this is that they don't want a huge empire with many hidden dangers to continue on the same path that has remained unchanged from previous dynasties.

The new and vigorous empire of the Ming Dynasty that he wants must completely overturn the previous ones before he can be reborn.

……

Now, if you want to completely control the huge Northeast and Liaohetao regions, you will definitely not be able to do it in a short time.

Without it, these two sites are too big.

Broadly speaking, the Great Northeast can stretch all the way to the northernmost Arctic Ocean! Let's play

There are no powerful forces to occupy this vast area, and it is only necessary to eliminate or expel the Eastern Siberian region and the troops that Tsarist Russia has come to explore the way.

The current Tsarist Empire has just begun to expand into the Siberian region, and it is completely possible to break their outstretched black hand and control this territory, which is not small compared to the territory of the Ming Empire.

It's still the same old saying, the earth is so big, if I occupy a little more, others will have a little less.

The larger the territory, the more resources there are, and the population and economy can be developed on a large scale, and the country will naturally become stronger and stronger.

Therefore, you have to take your time, Zhu Youxiao is not in a hurry.

First of all, after stabilizing the existing territory, we will continue to carry out the steppe strategy, and occupy all the steppes in the north of the Ming Empire to avoid the northern threat of the empire.

And just last night, Lu Jiude, who was in charge of cleaning up the Great Northeast Region, sent back the Flying Chicken Messenger.

He said that a squadron of scouts found some blonde and blue-eyed foreigners in the Heilongjiang River valley, and after arresting them, they learned that they were the vanguard of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

They have been living in Eastern Siberia for many years.

This aroused Zhu Youxiao's vigilance.

Therefore, he wants to go to Port Arthur today.

If you want to completely expel the black hand of the Tsarist Empire, you must first completely control the Great Northeast Coastal Region.

In order to fully control these places, it is necessary to first occupy Sakhalin Island and then make full use of Vladivostok, a natural ice-free port.

This Vladivostok is also the location of an important military port of the Ming Empire proposed by Zhu Youxiao, and it must be occupied as soon as possible at all costs, and then a large number of ports, cities and military bases will be built.

Do what you think.

So, Zhu Youxiao called Lu Xiangsheng, who was sitting in Shengjing City and the prime minister of the overall situation in the northeast, to explain some things.

Then, he rode a snow riding horse, with a mutant dog T54, with only a dozen entourages, and left Shengjing City and galloped in the direction of Port Arthur.

"Well, at least in road conditions like the current one, the road can be comfortable!"

Just out of Shengjing City, Zhu Youxiao looked at the super official road in front of him that stretched straight to the south and had no end in sight, nodded with satisfaction, and muttered to himself.

Now eight days have passed since the expulsion of Huang Taiji and his Houjin from the Great Northeast Region, and the Daguan Road extending from Liaoyang City has been connected with Shengjing City.

Therefore, now Zhu Youxiao is going south all the way from Shengjing City, and it is this kind of flat blue brick avenue with a width of 30 zhang, which is really convenient.

Today's military logistics department, transporting military supplies to Shengjing, from the capital, does not take ten days of effort.

If it was the rugged trail in the past, it would take about two months just to spend on the road, and the number of materials transported was not much, far less convenient than it is now.

Today's one-time transportation of materials is worth the previous ten trips and eight trips.

After all, the wider and smoother the road, the wider and smoother the road, the greater the transport capacity and the faster the speed.

Driving the snow god horse Xiaobai, galloping all the way, from time to time on both sides of Daguan Road, there are 10,000 acres of large farms, which are very neat and beautiful.

Looking around, there are vibrant scenery everywhere, which makes people's mood involuntarily more and more relaxed.

Zhu Youxiao hurried during the day, and entered a random super farm along the way to rest at night, and it only took more than three days to arrive at Port Arthur.

He first went to the Lushun City, which had been built, to take a look, inspect this super city, and saw that the scale here was no worse than that of the capital, and the layout was a little more reasonable.

The whole big city was built according to the planning map given by Zhu Youxiao, and the craftsmen were responsible for perfecting it.

It took two months and millions of craftsmen and people from the Royal Building Team to work together to complete the project on February 15 of this year.

This super city, which has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, will be one of the most dazzling pearls in the northeast of the Ming Empire.

If all the new houses and shops in this big city were ...... When the houses are full, at least four or five million people can live, which is comparable to the current Nanjing City.

Moreover, although this Lushun City is not as luxurious as Nanjing City, the layout is more reasonable, the streets are more clean and wide, and all kinds of buildings are neat and reasonable layout.

In the center of the city and in all directions, there is a huge square of 100,000 acres, gardens, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions...... It has everything and is a great place for people to relax at night.

Most of the residents of this huge and brand-new city of Arthur are the workers and families of the Arthur shipyard, as well as the families of the officers and men of the Royal North Sea Fleet.

These people add up to a lot of people, about two million people, making this new big city very popular, it doesn't look so empty, and the streets are full of people and lively.
