In the 14th year of Yongli, the last page was turned, and on the battlefield of the Yangtze River, both Ming armies turned to the defensive: Hankou and Wuchang of the Kuidong Army were almost isolated cities, relying only on water transportation to maintain transportation. The Zheng army lost all the land in Jiangbei, Nanjing was surrounded by the east and south, and the control area of the Zheng army was further reduced, and the turtle retreated in the southern Zhili and the northern Zhejiang plain. Reoccupied the side of the Qing court, the officials were directly "anyway", and the landlords and gentry were the fifth column, killing the Ming officials who were not "anyway", as the internal response of the Qing army.

However, the throat of my Daqing was still not completely loosened, even if a few forts were built, the Zheng army and the naval division still controlled the "river control power" on the Yangtze River most of the time, piled up in Jiangxi, and the millions of stone grain in Nanzhili had to rely on the escort of warships little by little to enter the Grand Canal and go north to Beijing, and the speed of transportation did not depend on the number of Wanshicao ships, but on the number of ships in the escort formation.

But in any case, when the city of Shuntian was covered with white for Shunzhi, the price of food in the city finally dropped a little, and with Xuan Ye being hugged on the cold dragon chair, the grass people of Sijiu City were finally able to "eat chaff and drink thin" in the first month of the first year of Kangxi instead of falling all over the ground.

However, none of this doll has anything to do with this doll Tianzi, but the result of hundreds of thousands of banner men and the green battalion fighting to the death.

After the crackling New Year, Kangxi went to court for the first time.

The court was a ceremonial form, and before dawn, the courtiers set out from their homes to wait for this boring ritual similar to the morning meeting of the school in later generations.

It was dawn, and the courtiers lined up their highnesses and stood in the cold wind. The new emperor, with a pockmarked face, stepped out from behind and sat down in a chair. The ministers of civil and military affairs bowed for a while, and prepared to dissolve the "retreat from the dynasty".

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"

This sentence, placed in the court at this time, is similar to the password of the morning meeting announcing the dissolution. But occasionally, there are always some people who want to come out and break the rules, they are either speech officials with cloth masks, or "ministers" with big bosses behind them.

"Minister, there is a play!" Suo Etu walked out of the court and bowed down.

……

Zhu Youlang learned that the Qing court had changed the name of the era, which was already in March of the fifteenth year of Yongli, and in history, 1661 should be the eighteenth year of Shunzhi! snapped, and a sense of pride arose in my heart. As far as he knows, before Kangxi's pro-government, the internal friction of the Qing court was very intense, and Aobai, who was appointed as an auxiliary minister but still led troops abroad, became a powerful minister that Kangxi had to overthrow in later history, and is still in an embarrassing position.

However, he was actually quite embarrassed himself. If you are a feudal monarch, you can already take another province with more than 10,000 new troops. But even Yunnan didn't digest anything, so how could it expect to go elsewhere?

After the victory of the last commercial war, the guild system in Kunming completely collapsed. Along the track and waterway, there are many textile machinery in the materials delivered to Kunming. As the victor, of course, the Mo family got some oil and water, and at the time they thought it was just a spare, but now they realize that the power of these machines is really great! As long as the hired mechanics keep shaking it day and night, they can keep turning cotton into cotton yarn, and then use the shuttle to turn cotton yarn into cotton cloth. And his family's fields are planted with cotton...... While those who weave their own cloth for their own use are not affected, there are a few who buy cheap cotton yarn. As for the fields, just as the Burmese capitalists thirst for land in southern Burma, the capitalists in Yunnan are eager to grow as much cotton as possible on every piece of land--- as long as there is land that does not starve to death.

Before the steam engine matures, this violent contradiction will last for a long time, especially this kind of contradiction forcibly catalyzed by the traverser, so that Zhu Youlang does not dare to "skip the plot" at will, if it is just "changing the world of one family and one surname", and does not make Huaxia industrialize, then what are you here for?

I think at the beginning, I still wanted to say that I believed in Catholicism, and I wanted to use this to recruit some scientific talents... As a result, I have been in the nest for more than two years, and I don't even have a big ship, and I can't get out of the sea, alas.

However, there were some new developments in the customs, due to the growing popularity of the Chinese king of Burma, more and more merchants came to Kyaukphyu or Ava, and the cheaper and cheaper cotton cloth and cotton yarn were exported in half a year Nearly 100,000 taels, which was also a large supplement--- after receiving it, Zhu Youlang immediately transferred it to the account of the General Staff and decided to establish the eighth new army. The regiment had four battalions and another artillery company, two companies each. The daily strength was only 1,100 men, but when it was full, it was expanded to four companies per battalion, about 2,000 men.

Starting from the seventh regiment, the new regiments approved by Zhu Youlang were all shelf regiments to save military expenditures. At the same time, the three new regiments of the security forces were fully staffed (three battalions each, three companies per battalion, and one artillery platoon, 1,200 men), and all the old units were eliminated. Even though the newly formed shelf regiment actually retains a lot of the habits of the old army, at least their tactics are no longer those of the old army. Sticks, alcohol and line up to shoot, this is the modern army.

……

Getting off the rickety boat, Shen Yunhao straightened out his neat red military uniform and set foot on this familiar land, he carried a rifle as high as a man, and the sharp muscles of his face made him look majestic and straight. This is his hometown.

A month's monthly salary is three taels of silver, and most of the money issued in the army is silver cakes, and Shen Yunhao saved six silver cakes and planned to take them home with him. An acre of land for a year, but you can't grow half a tael of silver! If you work as a soldier outside to eat food, if you say less than 40 silver cakes a year, it is equivalent to planting more than 100 acres of land a year, isn't that almost the same as a landlord!

Seeing his still poor hometown, compared with the "rapid" changing world outside, Shen Yunhao not only missed his parents and relatives, but also began to laugh at the stupidity of the villagers: People can make steamed buns so proudly, don't you believe what people do?

The familiar village in the distance was getting closer and closer, almost the same as before he left---- if anything, two dilapidated houses had collapsed, leaving a ruin.

Shen Yunhao crossed the path between the villages and knocked on the door of the house strung with ropes: "Dad, mother, I'm back to see you two!" ”

The parents looked at each other and felt great surprise: they had never seen a soldier who could come back, unless he was running away, but how could the deserter be dressed so new?

"Yun Hao, did you escape from this? Come, I know there's a place in the mountains, so let's take shelter. Father said impatiently.
