After the banquet is over, on the square outside the imperial city, hang lanterns to set up a stage, the palace dancers perform large-scale palace dances, musicians play large-scale palace music, there is no martial law around the imperial city today, the people can watch in the periphery, Hou Xuanyan carries concubines, accepts everyone's worship in Fengtianmen, and is also regarded as having fun with the people.

The royal atmosphere was naturally different from that of ordinary people, and everyone crowded the square to watch the song and dance performances. Jinling City was empty, and the officials of Xucheng were very nervous, patrolling outside the square to maintain order.

The grand ceremony was carried out until the next morning, which was the beginning of the new year, and on this day the emperor issued an edict to change the name of the country to Hua, and set the year name "Tianjiao".

From today on, it is the first year of the Heavenly Hunt. The people have also changed from Ming people to Chinese.

Among the people below, there are also many well-educated people, and after listening to this era name, they have learned about the future trends of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty collects Baiyue in the south, opens up Mobei, kills Manchuria in the east, and Tusi in the west, and the year is still called Tianjiao, which is still the heart of conquest, look at it, the next few years will be endless."

A well-educated Confucian had words, and the people next to him thought deeply and nodded their heads.

After several foreign wars, the people who tasted the sweetness no longer regarded the war as a flood of beasts, and countless families who had made a fortune because of the foreign wars of the imperial court, and the ordinary people also benefited from it to a greater or lesser extent.

At noon, the jubilant and festive atmosphere came to an end, and today's project was a little bloody.

After the Burmese and Siamese royal families were captured, they have been imprisoned in Jinling, and today they were beheaded in Jinling in front of the royal family.

The singers, dancers, and musicians who were still performing just now slowly walked off the stage, and a team of guards in red brocade clothes brought more than 60 people, large and small, to the high stage.

Some people have already read out their crimes, which is nothing more than resisting the heavenly soldiers, provoking the Chinese Dynasty, and being defeated and executed. As the royal family of the two countries, of course, they have become the culprits of the war and need to be punished for this.

Brush, brush, brush, dozens of heads fell to the ground, and the royal families of Burma and Siam were wiped out here. The kings and princes of the kingdoms, who were originally happy to taotao, suddenly came to their senses, and the palace people who had prepared in advance carried buckets and rags to the high platform to wash them clean, and the song and dance continued in the afternoon, just on the color platform that had just finished killing.

The celebration ceremony was carried out according to Gu Yanwu's plan, one by one, and at this time, Hou Xuanyan was already discussing the conquest of Dzungaria with the important ministers of the court in Nuanfang Pavilion.

The Dzungar Khanate now has a loose alliance system, consisting of tribes, and their leaders are the leaders of these tribes, and the current leader is the Ozirtu Khan. In fact, the chiefs of the tribes have a great deal of autonomy, and only when war comes, they will unite with the outside world.

For a long time, their enemy was Tsarist Russia in the north, but now due to the emergence of Jingbei Province, this situation has changed, and the situation in Moxi was once very mysterious.

Hou Xuanyan pointed to the map and said: "We have given up the advance of this front in Liaodong, which means that we must make achievements from the west, and the snow field will be easily pacified at that time." Now the cavalry of the Rakshasa is constantly increasing, and even Xiaohai (Baikal) I have given up, that is, I want to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, starting from Dzungaria, all the way to the north and west, to the capital of the Rakshasas, and to take Moscow and St. Petersburg. ”

"Moscow? Saint petersburg? "Everyone was confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Hou Xuanyan coughed lightly and said, "These are the two big cities of Rakshasa, just like our Jinling and Beiping. ”

The ministers realized this, and they all thought that it was a new name that the omnipotent submarine battalion had found out, but in fact, the people of the imperial court had very limited understanding of Tsarist Russia or the rakshasa in their mouths, after all, it was a barren land in their eyes, in fact, there was no shortage of hair, and there was hair everywhere.

Ma Shiying said: "Your Majesty, Mobei has Xia Wanchun's 300,000 Jingbei troops, as well as Yang Zhan's 200,000 Sichuan soldiers, and Zhang Huangyan has brought no less than 150,000 soldiers and horses from Zhejiang and Hunan. In addition, Yan Yingyuan, the marshal of the Liao expedition, rushed to Moxi immediately with 400,000 soldiers and horses, and when it came to March of the next year, a million male soldiers were displayed in the desert, and how could a single Junggar resist. According to Weichen's humble opinion, the only thing worth worrying about now is the supply problem of the army. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and a million people are not a small number no matter how you look at it. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded, he hadn't walked this way, and he didn't know much about the specific efficiency of grain transportation. But Ma Shiying is right, even if there are more soldiers and horses, they need to be supplied, otherwise it is better to have less. After all, Moxi is different from Nanyang, and it is difficult to feed the war with war, so it is only through its own delivery of grain there.

At the beginning, because of the development of Jingbei, the Shaanxi and Gansu Jiubian inadvertently became rich, because they were on the channel of transporting grain, and countless business opportunities appeared in front of the people of Shaanxi and Gansu Jiubian, such as Datong was rejuvenated, and it was even richer than when the Jin merchants were in power.

Now it is also a good way to transport grain to Moxi, just building roads is enough for the imperial court to digest the countless silver and gold brought by the defeat of the South Seas. Once the shipping routes of the South Seas were opened, they instantly became the center of exchange and trade between the East and the West, and there was no place for the treasury to be collected by tariffs alone.

No matter how much money you make, piling it up in the treasury is no different from stones, and only when you spend it to build a place can you make the best use of it.

"The construction of the northwest cannot be delayed, starting with the construction of roads. Send all the people in the soil and stone of the Craftsman Pavilion to escort them to the northwest, mainly Gansu, Shaanxi, and Jingbei, to study the soil quality and see how to build the road properly, and it is best to make some materials suitable for road construction. "Hou Xuanyan scratched his ears and cheeks, he just didn't know how to express something like cement asphalt, he didn't know anything about these things, and it was impossible for him to invent it. Only by deliberately guiding and setting up a generous reward system to create the best soil for skilled craftsmen, as for how far this nation goes, it is not up to Hou Xuanyan to decide.

Chen Mingyu is still the same, thinking about defeat before winning, and said in a deep voice: "It's only half a year, isn't it a little hasty..."

Hou Xuanyan looked at this person, you don't want to hear any inspiring words from his mouth, but the imperial court really needs such a person. He is not tactful and a little conservative, in fact, this kind of character is very unsuitable for officialdom, and he can achieve the highest position of all officials in officialdom by virtue of Hou Xuanyan's trust. Counting on him to do pre-war mobilization is estimated to make the soldiers have the idea of unloading their armor on the spot and going home to farm. But there is such a person, in order to extinguish the Manchu Dynasty in a timely manner, the victory carried away, whenever everyone is hot-headed, they need a basin of cold water to cool down.

Hou Xuanyan laughed twice and said: "You can repair while fighting, or you can postpone the war for a year, anyway, the decision and initiative are in our hands." Now the soldiers are practicing day and night in Mobei Wuliang Mansion, just like sharpening knives. As for when to start and let this knife drink blood and kill the enemy, it is not all up to those of us who hold the knife. Even if I sharpen my sword in Mobei for three years, five years, or even ten years, when it comes time to wield the knife, it will be worth it to be able to defeat the enemy with one sword. ”
