Chapter 355: A Different New Year
When it was another year to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the people's army-ruled area was full of laughter and laughter, while in the Ming ruling area, the upper class was full of sadness, and the common people at the bottom were happy and sad.
The arrival of the new year means that there are less than nine months left before the expiration of the armistice agreement between the People's Army and the Ming Dynasty, and every step forward will make many people in the Ming ruled area tremble.
Many forces in the Ming ruling area have already surrendered to the People's Army, especially after the People's Army held several military exercises, more forces have surrendered to the People's Army.
For this matter, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun is not ignorant of it, although the major forces in the Ming ruling area are essentially divided by all parties, but there are still not a few people loyal to the Ming Court, this kind of thing cannot be completely hidden, and there will be people who secretly report to the Ming Court.
But what if Zhu Yijun knows, now the Ming court can't even hold all forces hostage, and the area where Zhu Yijun can control it well is probably only the Beizhili area, and even Zhu Yijun doesn't know how many officials have fallen to the People's Army.
After all, the reason is that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the People's Army, and the People's Army has been fighting with the Ming Army since it appeared in the land of China, and almost every battle must be won.
When the People's Army only had one province, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the People's Army with almost all the strength of the whole country, and now the People's Army has five provinces, and most of the Ming family has been consumed, so how can it resist the People's Army.
Since you can't resist the People's Army, the People's Army will either die or become a prisoner when you come, it is better to vote for the People's Army to save your life, as long as people are rich, they can continue to live a prosperous life, it's just that the world has changed rulers.
It is also because there are more landlords and armed forces who have surrendered to the People's Army, and they obey the orders of the People's Army and give enough food to the common people in their sphere of influence to eat, at least for the time being, no ordinary people will die of hunger in these places.
Others can choose to surrender to the People's Army, can Zhu Yijun, the Ming Emperor, surrender to the People's Army?
Obviously, no!
In order to find a way to defeat the People's Army, Zhu Yijun was already worried, but he didn't think of a way to defeat the People's Army, occasionally Zhu Yijun even gave birth to the idea of putting the Tatars into the pass, but the People's Army is still in the south of the Yangtze River, let the Tatars enter the customs, the first to suffer is probably the Ming himself, the Tatars are not credible.
In the Ming court, not only Zhu Yijun is anxious, but the ministers are also anxious, they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they don't want the Ming Dynasty to fall, but they can't help it.
Among them, a small number of ministers have little loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, as long as they can survive, they are even willing to surrender to the People's Army, but they can't even find a way to surrender.
Some ministers once proposed the idea of retreating to Liaodong, but they were directly beaten out by Zhu Yijun's order, and no one wanted to go to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, even if they died, they would die in the capital.
Compared with the Ming Court, the People's Army is very much looking forward to the next war, especially the high-ranking people of the People's Army, who are eager to move north tomorrow to destroy the Ming Court tomorrow in September.
They used to be just children of a mountain family deep in the mountains, they had experienced first-hand the days when they couldn't even eat enough, they listened to the descriptions of their parents and elders to the outside world, and they hated the Ming court government, the landlord and the landlord's dog legs in their hearts.
If you can be fed and clothed and no one is bullied, who is willing to risk the crime of killing your head to rebel, when the People's Army raises the flag, the strength of the Ming Court is dozens of times that of the People's Army, and the Ming Court can easily exterminate the People's Army by sending an army of 100,000 people.
"We want to live a good life! We want to make life better for the poor people in the world! ”
The mountain people shouted slogans under the leadership of the governor to rush out of the mountains, kill the government and landlords, after how many battles, many brothers fell on the battlefield, now they are getting closer and closer to their goals, they can't wait for time to pass a little faster, they can't wait to overthrow the Ming court, to the people of the world to divide the land, so that the poor people of the world can live a good life.
Ordinary people in the KPA-ruled areas knew that war was coming, and they were guessing how much time the KPA would have to defeat the enemy this time, and they prayed together to God for the KPA's blessing.
In the city, businessmen and intellectuals are also talking about the final battle that will come soon, and no one will think that the Ming court will be able to stop the people's army, they all believe that this time the people's army will definitely destroy the Ming court, but after five or six years, they will recognize the strength of the people's army.
Especially the merchants, they are already making preparations, and when the People's Army goes to the north, their chamber of commerce will expand their business, and the family business will explode in the hands of their generation, and all this is brought by the People's Army, and they are lucky to make the most correct choice, and they are not like other businessmen who are either killed or demoted to coolies.
The atmosphere of war has already appeared in the area ruled by the People's Army, and even Zhu Yaojiang, who has been living in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, can feel it.
It has been almost two years since Zhu Yaojiang moved into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Zhu Yaojiang has changed a lot in the past two years, when he first came, Zhu Yaojiang was full of hatred for everything here, just because the People's Army was the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the enemy of the Zhu family, and she was the princess of the Ming Dynasty.
Time passed, she had been living in the deep palace and slowly learned about the life of the people outside, she couldn't imagine that under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the life of the common people was so miserable, it was the people's army, so that the people could regain their land.
It stands to reason that Zhu Yaojiang doesn't need to care about whether the people are doing well or not, this is not something she should take care of, but Zhu Yaojiang saw that these people who were once Ming have become the people of the People's Army, and they have no nostalgia for Daming at all, and even the people do not support Daming, how can Daming resist the People's Army.
After seeing too much, Zhu Yaojiang was already tired, and he no longer thought about those family and country affairs, and slowly, Zhu Yaojiang found himself curious about the titular husband and the governor of the People's Army, what kind of person can grow from a mountain citizen to the governor of the People's Army.
Living in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and often in contact with Fang Nan and people close to Fang Nan, Zhu Yaojiang saw Fang Nan's extraordinary side, and unconsciously, Zhu Yaojiang found that he had a good impression of Fang Nan, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Yaojiang very difficult to accept in his heart.
Soon, war is coming, will the Ming Dynasty be able to resist the People's Army? Zhu Yaojiang has little confidence in Daming at all.
War is about to break out, Daming may be about to perish, and his relatives will also die.
Zhu Yaojiang didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she really wanted to ask the heavens, why she was the princess of Daming, why she was caught in the middle, and all she was left with was pain.
