Without enough manpower to drive it, it would be difficult to spread lime on such a vast land, and this strategic plan could not be accomplished.

If the number of the Ming Expeditionary Force is large, the consumption of grain and grass can drag down the current Ming Dynasty, and it will be meaningless to destroy the fertility of Beihaier Lake at that time.

When all the army martial arts students were at a loss, Zhu Shun was also thinking about this problem, and it would be enough to solve it when he researched the steam seeder.

The problems that cannot be solved by the small-scale peasant economy are solved by the industrial society.

With the steam seeder, it was enough to send a cavalry of several thousand men to escort the industrially sent workers to Lake Behail.

Under the operation of the steam seeder, it will not take long to plant a large amount of lime on Beihaier Lake to destroy the fertility of the land, and if it is combined with the caustic soda of the chemical system, the speed will be even faster.

With the deduction of the students of the Army Lecture Martial Arts Hall, the more they deduced, the more they felt that the Ming Dynasty was about to die, and many of the students couldn't help crying while holding the pen and paper in both hands, and even the expression on the face of the prince Zhu Cihong was not good-looking.

Zhu Shun felt that this atmosphere was not quite right, and said calmly: "This is not the main thing to consider now, it will take five or even ten years to come." ”

"Strategic planning is never something that can be completed in one year or two, and it takes more than five years to do so."

"With all of you, Ben Hou believes that the Ming Dynasty will not be conquered by the Manchus."

After the enlightenment of the industrial Hou Zhu Shun, the sorrow on the faces of the students of the army martial arts hall turned into full of fighting spirit, just as the industrial Hou Zhu Shun said, with them, one day will not let the Manchu Qing step into the Central Plains half a step.

Only the crown prince Zhu Cihong's mood was still relatively sad, but there was no superfluous expression on his face, which was to avoid putting pressure on the students of the Army's martial arts hall.

But the Ming Dynasty also had a national policy of not paying grain for the gentry, and with this national policy, the land of the bureaucrats and gentry could not harvest a grain of grain.

Most of the land of the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of the bureaucratic gentry, and there was no need for the Manchu Qing to attack, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed first from the inside.

This is also the fundamental reason why the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as day by day, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is different, most of the land is planted with high-yield potatoes, or by the Han people to coat the planting.

All the things grown by the coat belonged to the Manchus, and even their lives belonged to the Manchu bannermen, and they could kill them if they wanted to.

However, thinking of the upcoming land reform, the crown prince Zhu Cihong's heart was full of hope, as long as all the land in the world was collected into the ownership of the imperial court through land reform, everything would be solved.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong suddenly lost the mood to continue listening to the tactical deduction, turned his head to look at Zhu Shun, and said, "Sir, I still have some doubts in my heart that I need to ask Mr. ”

"Let's go to the deputy mountain chief's house to talk, please ask Mr. to solve my doubts, and leave it to Yanruo here."

Zhu Shun nodded, and the two left the war general staff room together.

The students of the Army Martial Arts Hall saw that the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the industrial marquis Zhu Shun had left, leaving only Lu Daqi alone, and they couldn't help but be bored with this war deduction.

While analyzing the Manchu Dynasty, the Manchus were also discussing how to lay down this Central Plains Dynasty.

Liaodong.

Shanhaiguan.

It has reached the beginning of spring, and the front of Shanhaiguan is still covered with a large amount of snow.

On the plains of this glacial snow, there are endless camps.

In the main tent of the big camp sat Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, sitting in the big tent, discussing how to capture the world's first Xiongguan.

With the 60,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, coupled with their familiarity with Shanhaiguan, it shouldn't be very difficult.

The Han Eight Banners taken over by Kong Youde and the three of them were only a few thousand soldiers and horses at the beginning, but they could skyrocket to 60,000 soldiers and horses in such a short time, and they were all elites with complete armor.

On the one hand, the three of them are indeed rare generals, and the general soldier of Shanhaiguan Man Gui fully recognizes the ability of the three to govern the army, and on the other hand, the support of the eight major Jin merchants is indispensable to the four major Jin merchants.

Two years before Chongzhen, the Manchus needed to rely on the eight Jin merchants to transport the most scarce grain for them, and the eight Jin merchants had a very high status within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Since the Westerners brought them potatoes and there was no longer a shortage of food, the Eight Great Jin Merchants and the Manchus were only a normal barter relationship, and their status within the Manchus had declined a lot.

After Kong Youde and the three of them replaced the Manchus in mastering the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, because Zhu Shun's pit did not take away a single soldier, not to mention that the poor were not as good as the common people.

Jin Shang's business was so big, he immediately sensed the opportunity and found Kong Youde and the three of them.

The two sides hit it off and decided to be embarrassed.

Kong Youde and the three of them had enough money and food to be able to pull up a Han Eight Banner with as many as 60,000 people in such a short period of time, and they were all elites wearing cotton armor.

Kong Youde and the three of them are familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers of Shanhaiguan, the distribution of troops in Shanhaiguan, and the military habits of Shanhaiguan.

Let them take the lead, and it can be regarded as earning enough fame for their unworthy Sanshun King.

Geng Zhongming's ability to govern the army and march is in the forefront of the entire Shanhaiguan, and he took a sip of wine and shouted: "Let's take advantage of the fact that we can't see it at night, just take a small road and bypass it." ”

This trail is a hidden trail known only to the high-ranking military attachés of Shanhaiguan, and it was used to attack the Manchu Qing in the past.

Now they have to be rounded by these three people to the other side of Shanhaiguan, the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and the guards who went to support in disguise opened the gate of Shanhaiguan.

Kong Youde slowly flicked the Buddha beads in his hand and vetoed Geng Zhongming's opinion: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"If you want to gain long-term wealth in the Great Qing Kingdom, you must not only consider the gains and losses of conquering the city, but also consider the influence of the political hall."

"Shanhaiguan will be attacked, but not now, at least when the reinforcements of Lu Xiangsheng, Zuo Liangyu and others are about to arrive at Shanhaiguan, and then attack."

"And before they enter Shanhaiguan, take down Shanhaiguan, and then pretend to be defeated by Lu Xiangsheng and exit Shanhaiguan."

Geng Zhongming really doesn't understand the twists and turns in this, he can fight for a while, he can't fight for a while, and he has to retreat after a while, so what can he do to fight Shanhaiguan.

Kong Youde knew that he had introduced Geng Zhongming to him, but he couldn't tell the twists and turns in it, and he didn't understand it when he said it.

glanced at Shang Kexi, who had not spoken, and asked, "What does King Zhishun think?" ”

After Shang Kexi took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he became one of the three Shun kings of the Qing Dynasty, King Zhishun, and lived even more simply: "Everything depends on Brother Confucius." ”

Kong Youde took a deep look at Shang Kexi, slowly stirred the Buddha beads and said, "Everything is waiting for Prince Rui to take Dalinghe Fort." ”
