Nanjing, Xuanwu Lake.

Upstairs in the Liangzhou Range Rover, looking at the lakes and mountains in spring, His Majesty the Ming Emperor was in a good mood.

Zuo Liangyu finally died.

This cloud that has covered most of the year above his head has finally dissipated, although the war is not over, but in fact it is only a matter of time, Yuan Jixian's twists and turns have just arrived, Ma Jinzhong of Jingzhou joined the crusade against Jin Shenghuan, Huang Degong and Ma Jinzhong combined with nearly 300,000 troops to encircle Chengtian, Jin Shenghuan even if he does not surrender, there is only a dead end, as for the direction of Nanchang Yang Qing personally shot, Chongzhen knows very well what that means.

And Zuo Liangyu's death also completely ended the current state of warlord secession in the Ming Dynasty, and his empire finally truly returned to his hands......

Although only half an empire.

This half of the empire is plagued by bandits.

But at least within the Ming Dynasty, he, the emperor, can really speak his word, and he doesn't need to worry about one day a warlord with heavy troops will be on the side of the Qing Jun.

Of course, there is also a Huang Degong.

But for Chongzhen, Huang Degong must be retained, after all, before the completion of the Beijing camp, he also needs a role as a mainstay in Jiangbei, and the Beijing camp is currently only composed of three armies, and the other three armies have just begun to be formed, because military spending is still tight, the formation of these three armies has slowed down significantly. After all, the soldiers of the Beijing camp need to be rewarded with land, and he can only reward from the official land in his hand, but the official fields in the south of the Yangtze River are seriously occupied by the noble gentry, and the land of 60,000 people in the three armies is easy to manage, but the 60,000 people in the third army are stretched, after all, there are still many people who live on the official field, which is also the reason why he is eager to expand the meridians, he needs to take back more official fields that have been occupied by the noble officials and gentry to reward those soldiers.

And the six armies of the Beijing camp are definitely not enough.

He needed the 12th Army or even the 24th Army.

At least the twenty-fourth army can meet the size of the standing army of the Ming Dynasty, in order to ensure that he can sweep the world again and restore everything he once had, such a huge empire of 500,000 standing troops is not much, and these must be supported by land, after so much he has experienced this.

Twenty-four Army!

Then more than 10 million acres of official land will be needed!

And it must be within the scope of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Huguangjiangxi, and at this moment, Yang Qing's crazy Gongtian method even appeared in his mind......

Thinking of this, he sighed slightly.

Then he looked at his daughter.

Princess Kunxing is taking her sister downstairs for a walk in the early spring green, it is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor is also entangled in his own tender cabbage that has been raised for more than ten years, whether he should let the pig arch, it is not impossible to say, but Yang Qing's invincibility is also a piece of his heart, although Daming is the same as a wolf, but Yang Qing is not a wolf, this is a tiger, those things of Daming are also to prevent a wolf, but not a tiger!

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Chengen suddenly walked upstairs with a happy face.

"What?"

Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty, Jiangxi Governor Guo Duxian reported that Zhong Yongbo led the Beijing camp to a great victory in Fengcheng, the second army of the Beijing camp with 20,000 people to meet the rebel Wang Yuncheng's 7,000 cavalry and 35,000 infantry, the second army of the Beijing camp only killed and wounded more than 1,000 people to defeat the enemy, beheaded 5,000 and captured more than 30,000 enemies, Wang Yuncheng only left less than 2,000 horsemen to escape, captured the previously appointed supervisor of the left rebellion, Hou Fangxia, the son of the former household servant Hou Sui.

In addition, "

Wang Chengen paused for a moment, and said with irrepressible excitement: "This battle is loyal and brave, and he did not participate in the battle. ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up instantly.

What does this mean? His Beijing battalion was more than 20,000 against 40,000, and also included 7,000 cavalry, and the result was a complete victory with only more than 1,000 dead and wounded? In the past ten years, he has refreshed the lower limit of erosion with his incorruptible performance again and again, making him so angry that he wants to vomit blood again and again, and burying more than half of his Ming Dynasty in more than ten years, he was reborn all of a sudden?

This is simply comparable to the Jingying of the Chengzu era!

"Your Majesty, this Qi Jiguang's method really works!"

Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"Passing the decree, posthumously gifting, no, posthumously sealing Qi Jiguang as an earl, hereditary, looking for his descendants to inherit, the nickname will not be changed, and it will be given to the pillar country!"

Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty, most of his descendants are in the north."

Wang Chengen said cautiously.

Qi Jiguang's sons except for a hereditary Dengzhou Wei commander, almost all of the others are in Jinyiwei, it should be said that the emperors of the dynasty can still treat him, his bleak old age is mainly a political issue, as Zhang Juzheng system, it is impossible to avoid it in the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli Dynasty, it is said that he gave Zhang Juzheng a lot of gifts, but his sons are the same as those noble children, and have a hereditary position in Jinyiwei.

"That, that, let's seal it first!"

Chongzhen said.

"What about Uncle Zhongyong?"

What Wang Chengen means is that Yang Qing has also worked hard during this time, so let's also promote him!

"Him?"

Chongzhen struggled.

"He'll forget it!"

He glanced at his daughter again, and then said decisively.

"Your Majesty, is it time to go back to the palace?"

Wang Chengen said.

He didn't dare to tell the emperor about Princess Kunxing secretly running to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion yesterday.

"Go back to the palace!"

Chongzhen said in a comfortable mood.

Immediately afterwards, he got out of the Range Rover Building surrounded by eunuchs, put on a fatherly face and reprimanded the two daughters who were playing, and then took them and Yuan Guifei to the dock.

At this time, the continents in Xuanwu Lake were separated from the surroundings, and even there were walls and lookout posts around the lake, and this was not the emperor's imperial garden, and Chongzhen did not come to visit the lake, he came to check some things in person, and the lake was just by the way. This is actually the general database of household registration data of the entire Ming Dynasty, and the yellow books of 1.7 million records of household registration data across the country are stored in warehouses on various continents.

Of course, only theoretically.

In fact, there is just such a system.

However, in the system, even if officials at all levels need to check it, they must have tiger charms, and then register and verify at the verification office in Taipingzhou, and then the eunuchs will send them from Taipingzhou to the islands by boat, and the managers of the household registration will also regularly go to the islands to dry the yellow books, so as to prevent the artificial tampering with these materials that are the basis of the empire's land, taxes, and conscriptions......

Of course, it doesn't really work.

It is not uncommon for the yellow book to be tampered with in the late Ming Dynasty, who doesn't take a bribe these days! The same goes for those who manage the Yellow Book Vault.

Chongzhen's family soon boarded the boat, together with several other escorted boats, rowed to Taipingzhou, that is, outside the Taiping Gate, the modern era is gone, the boat slowly moved forward on the smooth lake, His Majesty the Emperor stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the Purple Mountain where his ancestors were buried, and a sense of pride suddenly came to his heart. Although he has been emperor for seventeen years, except for the year he ascended the throne, the remaining ten years have never been as confident as now.

Before, he had no money.

And now that he has money, he will be even richer if the New Deal is implemented.

Previously his generals could hardly bring him any good news except defeat, and now his generals have brought him victory after victory.

In the past, he almost opened his eyes to face the twists and turns of famine, but now the abundance of Jiangnan makes the word gradually disappear, and with the complete pacification of Huguang, this almost the largest granary in the late Ming Dynasty will also exert its power, at that time it is estimated that he will no longer need to worry about food at all, and completely stay away from the word famine, although he abandoned the north but also abandoned the heavy burden.

As long as he maintains this state, he will almost be able to lie down and win in less than ten years, regardless of population, financial resources or food, he will crush Li Zicheng.

At that time, he just smashed it with silver.

Take the grain and smash it.

He can still easily defeat this opponent and regain everything he has lost, not to mention that his army has also been reborn, 20,000 to 40,000 including 7,000 cavalry, and he actually won a complete victory with only more than 1,000 casualties, which makes him unbelievable, is this still the tens of thousands of dead and wounded on the battlefield in Liaodong in the past that can't be exchanged for a few Jiannu heads? If the imperial camp can have such combat effectiveness, what is he afraid of? It is true that the three armies can only guarantee his control over Nanjing, the six armies can ensure the control of Jiangnan, the twelve armies will have an absolute advantage over Li Zicheng, and the twenty-four armies will be able to sweep away all the enemies in the world.

Whatever Jiannu, all the Mongol princes will be trampled on the ground by him.

Just like when he became an ancestor.

Even like Cheng Zu, he can send a powerful fleet, just like those Taixi colonists that Yang Qing said, to conquer the South Seas, to bring countless wealth, or to completely conquer the Wa Kingdom and take down all the huge gold and silver mines in the Wa Kingdom.

He will become the hero of the generation of Yuanmai Han and Tang!

And all this......

All this is inseparable from a figure!

"Pass the decree to Yang Qingjin as a marquis, and Huang Degong will also be a marquis!"

He said with a sigh.

"Slave obeys!"

Wang Chengen said in a low voice.

"...... again"

Chongzhen looked at his daughter on the other boat, and stopped talking under Wang Chengen's puzzled gaze.

Princess Kunxing raised her head and looked at them, and suddenly there was a hint of surprise on her face, Chongzhen was stunned, but almost at the same time, the small boat under their feet suddenly shook, and Chongzhen's body standing at the bow of the boat also shook, Wang Chengen hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, Chongzhen then stood firm and signaled to him that it was okay.

"You dogs, how are you rowing!"

In Wang Chengen's shouting and scolding, the boat shook suddenly, and Chongzhen, who was caught off guard, screamed and subconsciously took a step back, but behind him was outside the boat, and he immediately fell to the surface of the lake with a splash of water, and smashed straight into the lake covered by duckweed and lotus leaves like a green carpet.

"Oh no, the emperor has fallen into the water!"

At the moment when His Majesty the Emperor was dragged underwater by a force, he heard the frightened scream of Wang Chengen above his head......
