"Sit down!"

Hearing Li Fangyuan's order, Jin Nanxuan and Du Mingju sat on the two chairs next to the bed, and then peeked at Li Fangyuan.

At this moment, Li Fangyuan hugged the thin quilt, sat half-sitting, leaning on the pillow, although his face was pale, his eyes were still sharp, he glanced at the two of them, coughed slightly, and said, "How is the situation outside?" ”

"Back to the king," Jin Nanxuan said first: "When the king fainted just now, the last general and others had already blocked the news, and there was nothing abnormal outside, and the last general also sent someone to order the Shangzhou army to deploy along the Jinjiang River, and at the same time informed General Guo of the situation in Chungju and asked him to beware of the Ming army going north. ”

"Oh," Li Fangyuan closed his eyes and thought for a while after hearing this, and nodded: "Nanxuan, you handled it very well this time!" Lone is satisfied, then there is only one question left, what should we do next? ”

Jin Nanxuan looked at Li Fangyuan's face, and glanced at Du Mingju beside him with the corner of his eye, then he gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and said: "Wang, the last general thinks that the possibility of success is very small when he goes north to Hanjing at this moment, because the loss of Qingzhou is a foregone conclusion, and the last general thinks that there will be news in a few days." After Qu Neng occupies Cheongju, he will not stop and will definitely continue to attack Chungju and Sangju. ”

"At this time, if the elite of Zhongzhou and Shangzhou are still transferred north to Hanjing according to the original plan, judging from the elite degree of the Ming army, Zhongzhou and Shangzhou are likely to be lost in the short term, and once these two states are lost, Qu Neng will inevitably know the whereabouts of the king, if Qu Neng sends cavalry back to help, he will rush to Hanjing in three days at most, or he will directly send six hundred li to warn Hanjing urgently, and the time will be shorter. If the king captured Hanjing at that time, it would be fine, but if not, the army would be in a dilemma under the fortified city, and the consequences would be difficult to predict. ”

"Even if our army captures Seoul according to the most optimistic estimates, Chungju and Sangju will still be lost, and Gyeongju will not be able to support it for long."

"And once we learn that Hanjing is lost, the armies of Sheng Yong, Qu Neng, Ming State Water Division, Kaijing, and Ming Kingdom Lelangfu will encircle Hanjing, and with the strength of our army, Hanjing will not be able to hold it!"

"Therefore, the last general thinks that the plan to go north to capture Hanjing is no longer feasible, and even if it succeeds, it will not be of much significance!"

When Jin Nanxuan analyzed, Li Fangyuan didn't interject, but in Du Mingju's eyes, Li Fangyuan's face seemed to be even paler, and when Jin Nanxuan finished speaking, Li Fangyuan gently pressed his forehead with his hand, thought for a while, and then turned to Du Mingju, and said, "Old general, what do you think?" ”

Du Mingju heard the hope in Li Fangyuan's voice, and knew that Li Fangyuan still wanted to go north, but Du Mingju hesitated, he who originally strongly advocated the restoration of Hanjing, was a little overwhelmed in the face of the failure of Qingzhou, although he didn't want to admit it, but Jin Nanxuan's analysis was very reasonable, in addition, Jin Nanxuan's words also made Du Mingju realize that he seemed to ignore something, he thought about it carefully, and finally made up his mind: "Your Majesty, now the situation has changed, Qingzhou has been lost, and the Ming army has been connected along the coast. Its strength should be more than 100,000, and the combat strength of the armies of Chungju and Shangzhou is too poor to contain Qu Neng, so the old minister thinks that it is no longer feasible to go north to Hanjing! ”

Hearing Du Mingju's words, Jin Nanxuan lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and tried to contain his anger......

In fact, Du Mingju also knows that his reason is just a pretext, from the current point of view, from Gyeongju to the north of Hanjing, there is a fundamental problem in this strategy, that is, the combat strength of his army and the Ming army is too far apart, but Du Mingju can't admit this, he can only find reasons from other aspects, and Cheongju's quick defeat gave him enough reasons. And he is not afraid of Jin Nanxuan's refutation, the reason is very simple, if Jin Nanxuan does not agree, then Du Mingju can suggest that Jin Nanxuan go south and recover Qingzhou, as long as Jin Nanxuan is not stupid, he will definitely not do this.

When he saw Jin Nanxuan silent, Du Mingju felt a little proud in his heart, but his original intention was not here, he was unwilling to go north to Hanjing, in fact, he was reminded by Jin Nanxuan, the Ming army is not a fool, they have so many troops, why is the number of Hanjing so small? What is the situation in Lelang Mansion? Will the Ming army go south there? Or is it already south? No one knows now.

Seeing that Jin Nanxuan and Du Mingju were all against going north, Li Fangyuan's face suddenly turned pale, his breathing became short, he wanted to say something but didn't say it, and finally leaned on the pillow weakly and closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?"

Seeing Li Fangyuan's demeanor, both of them were a little nervous, and hurriedly got up to greet them, but saw Li Fangyuan wave his hand and asked them not to speak.

After a long time, Li Fangyuan opened his eyes and said astringently: "Isn't there any hope for us in North Korea?" ”

As soon as Li Fangyuan said this, the two people in the room were like thunderbolts, Jin Nanxuan and Du Mingju instantly felt numb in their hands and feet, and their faces turned pale unconsciously, Your Majesty, if you say such a thing, do we still have hope?

......

For the affairs of North Korea, Zhu Yunwen did not put too much energy, he was only responsible for formulating goals, Sheng Yong and others were responsible for formulating a strategy, explaining the manpower, material resources, and time schedule required to complete the goal.

North Korea, a small country, in fact, is not capable of fighting a protracted war, whether it is manpower or material resources, are far from the Ming Dynasty, in fact, so far, the imperial court's expenditure is less than half of the quelling Zhu Di's rebellion, Zhu Yunwen is most worried about Timur in the northwest, but in May, Ping An sent accurate news, Timur did die, and his grandson Peel succeeded to the throne.

Peel is similar to Zhu Yunwen, although he is the orthodox heir of Timur, he faces sharp challenges from several uncles, so he changed Timur's national policy and befriends the Ming Dynasty, maybe he thinks that the Ming Emperor in the same situation will become a confidant with him! Therefore, after sending back Fu An and others, he sent a huge delegation to the Ming Dynasty, and arrived at Jiayuguan in mid-May of the seventh year of Jianwen, but Ping'an did not let them enter the customs, but flew to the Beijing division and asked Zhu Yunwen to decide.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen left the Beijing division and led the concubines and hundreds of officials to Pukou City in Jiangbei, where he wanted to lay the first sleeper for the start of the Liangjing Railway.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen's laying of sleepers is more symbolic, and he hopes to show his determination to build a railway to the people in this way, so that all officials and ordinary people can understand that this trend is unstoppable.

Zhu Yunwen believed that the Chinese people would soon discover the advantages of the railway, and at that time, the construction of the railway would not need to be supervised by him.

With regard to the Liangjing Railway, Zhu Yunwen did not adopt the model of all government-run enterprises, but adopted a joint-stock system, in which the imperial court held 50 percent of the shares, the internal affairs government held 30 percent of the shares, and the remaining 20 percent of the shares were subscribed by businessmen.

Of course, it is not surprising that most of the shares of these businessmen were bought by nobles and relatives, such as the Ma family of Empress Ma Hui, the Xu family of Wei Guogong, the Bai family of Shufei Bai Fangrui, the Fu family of Yingguo Gongfu, the Changxing Hou Geng family, etc., and behind these families, there are actually many small shareholders, all of whom are vassals of these families, of course, these people buy the shares of the Liangjing Railway, not to make money, but to get closer to the emperor, for this, Zhu Yunwen does not object, and these people get closer, for Zhu Yunwen, there is no harm.

In order to promote the transparency of stock transfer, Zhu Yunwen also set up a stock exchange in Beijing, the initial seat has 20, all of which are shareholders of the Liangjing Railway, at first these shares can only be transferred within the shareholders, Zhu Yunwen plans to gradually introduce more businessmen in the future, but now whether it is a noble or a businessman, the exchange is not too serious at present.

......

In the cheers of everyone, Emperor Zhu Yunwen, the crown prince Zhu Wenkui, and the commander of Jinyiwei Liu Tie carried a sleeper together and slowly walked to the predetermined position.

For Zhu Yunwen, the sleeper is not heavy, but for the nine-year-old Zhu Wenkui, the sleeper is too heavy, in order to prevent him from being accidentally injured, Jinyiwei commanded Liu Tie to serve as the main force, and Zhu Wenkui only made a show, and the symbolism of this matter is actually self-evident.

When the sleeper fell, Zhu Yunwen pulled Zhu Wenkui to his side, and then waved his hand at Liu Tie, Liu Tie immediately raised the flag, and for a time firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, colorful flags were flying, everyone cheered and thundered, and Zhu Yunwen also applauded with everyone, and his heart was full of relief.

Over the years, Zhu Yunwen has slowly understood a truth, that is, why the traveler will work hard to change the world as long as he has the opportunity, in fact, the reason is not only the backwardness of ancient times, but because the ancient rituals have no feeling for the traveler, today's ceremony was designed by Zhu Yunwen in his previous life, he had no chance to stand in the center of everyone in his previous life, and this time he finally had a chance, so his excitement is incomparable!

After the firecrackers were set off, in the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, and the brocade guard opened the cover of a nearby boulder, on which were written four big characters "Pukou Station", these four words are vigorous and powerful, a dragon and a tiger leaping appearance, it is the handwriting of His Majesty Zhu Yunwen today.

After everyone cheered, Zhu Yunwen took the drumstick, walked to the leather drum that had already been placed, raised the drumstick, and said loudly: "I announce that the Liangjing Railway will start construction from today!" ”

As soon as Zhu Yunwen's voice fell, the loud voice in charge of shouting, Jin Yiwei, immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, the Liangjing Railway, from today, will start construction!" ”

“....... Start! ”

When Jinyiwei shouted, Zhu Yunwen waved the drumstick and knocked the leather drum in front of him hard.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Drums rang out all around.

......

After the ceremony, Zhu Yunwen also visited the soldiers in charge of road construction, as well as Zhan Zongwang, the chief engineer of road construction, and encouraged them to brave hardships and dangers, overcome difficulties, and complete the construction of the Liangjing Railway as soon as possible......
