Chapter 191: The Gathering of Storms

The Shanxi officials and gentry soon discovered that something was wrong, and that their neighbors, the Guanzhong thieves who had crossed the Yellow River, were dozens of times more than before.

Unexpectedly, the big city was vigorously attacked, and the imperial court was also panicked, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly gave Sun Chuanting an order, asking him to transfer troops to Shanxi to cooperate with the Shanxi officials and troops to suppress bandits.

Sun Chuanting said that he couldn't see the edge of Luoyang, and he had to go elsewhere to help. In Sun Chuanting's eyes, he himself is the one who needs help the most.

The Ming Dynasty has been passed down to the present, and it is already the emperor of the Thirteen Dynasties, although most of the emperors are staff-making, teasing, stuffy, and cultivation enthusiasts, but they have never made mistakes on key issues. Only this Zhu Youzhen is simply a history of mistakes.

Zhu Yousong listened to the scout's information and said with a smile: "This Zhu Youzhen, our Emperor's Majesty." In the future, if I want to educate future generations of emperors, I will definitely use him as a negative teaching material. But it's no wonder that Zhu Youzhen was so scared, and he didn't hesitate to transfer troops from Sun Chuanting, once Shanxi was lost, the capital would be exposed in front of them.

It's just that in this way, Luoyang is more at ease. Zhu Yousong, who was extremely bored, personally picked up the hoe, took the people, and planted it in Luoyang.

Most of the young and strong people near Luoyang have joined the army, and the rest are either women, children and the elderly, or Huangkou children. Fortunately, simple farm work is not a problem.

Zhu Yousong doesn't know anything about military affairs, but there is no problem with farming with people. Of course, it's more about being a showman and playing the role of a role model.

In the scorching summer, the people sweated like rain, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in each house and courtyard also rolled up their sleeves and went to the fields to do farm work. No way, everything has to be done cheaply in wartime.

Zhu Yousong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Liu Yi beside him: "Go and tell Ma Shiying that you must pay attention to strengthening public security." If those who are indiscriminate, take advantage of the young and strong to fight, and provoke women and women, they will all be punished strictly. Now is a special period, and it is still very necessary to strike hard. ”

Liu Yi had never done farm work in his life, and his tired sweat fell like rain, and he had long been eager to find an excuse to leave here. Because Zhu Yousong is here, no one dares to be lazy, and only by hiding far away can he have the opportunity to escape from labor.

"I'll go." After saying that, he ran away. Xu Erdou took a sip, stepped forward, and said, "Lord Wang, you see that he runs as fast as a rabbit, he must be lazy." ”

Zhu Yousong went down with a hoe, loosened the soil, and said: "Okay, you are not making this material, follow me to make a show, let's go home." ”

Back at the palace, Zhu Yousong took a bath before changing into his home clothes, and the river officials came to the door.

Zhu Yousong listened to their suggestions, but his eyes lit up. It turned out that these new river officials who had been promoted by themselves were unwilling to be lonely, and worked hard to present a plan to build channels and create irrigation areas.

After reading it, Zhu Yousong praised them greatly. With a wave of their hand, they allocated enough funds and manpower to meet their requirements.

Throughout Chinese civilization, farming has always been the top priority. A well-developed agriculture is the foundation for the people to live in peace and security, and is an indispensable condition for the stability of the country.

Chinese civilization has never been belligerent and not aggressive. But there are many reasons why we have not continued to expand from a small area in the Yellow River valley to such a large territory. But the most important thing is that those places are no longer suitable for us to farm.

The reasons for the territorial expansion of our Han people:

One is that the land over there is good for farming. The second is that the people over there like to farm with us. The third is that the people over there keep making trouble and hinder our farming, so we just beat them away.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong couldn't help laughing.

Many countries in Europe are also unable to expand, and after the destruction of small countries, all that is left are big countries, and it is not easy to expand. But the pursuit of huge profits by private traders led them to venture out to sea in search of specialties that Europe did not have, and then discovered the New World, and began to settle and colonize. As Europe's industrialization brought about an increase in productivity, there was a greater demand for raw materials and markets, which in turn led to the decolonization of more places. Due to the fact that the late Chinese dynasties were too light on commerce and the status of merchants was low, China lost the benefits of the strong spontaneous power of private merchants to the development of the country.

Zhu Yousong believes that as long as he sits on the throne. Sooner or later, one day, we will also change the plot of farming in the bones of the Chinese people. Otherwise, the small-scale peasant economy will sooner or later become a stumbling block on the road to development.

After all, now is not the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, but now is a great change unseen in 3,000 years. If we can't get on this speeding steamer, we will have to repeat the footsteps of the Manchus in the future and become a backward civilization.

The Luoyang soldiers occupied Shaanxi Prefecture and County, and the news of the establishment of liuguan reached the capital. Zhu Youzhen also showed his suspiciousness and fickleness. Immediately sent an edict to Sun Chuanting, urging him to fight a decisive battle with the Fu Fan as soon as possible and completely eliminate the greatest scourge of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and he changed his orders every day, just treating military affairs as child's play. Rao is Sun Chuanting, who is full of loyal and patriotic thoughts, and he can't stand this emperor's majesty a little. But the king's order is difficult to disobey, fortunately, the Guangxi wolf soldiers have entered the border of Henan and are resting in Nanyang. After receiving this strong reinforcement, Sun Chuanting made up his mind and mobilized his troops and horses to prepare for a north-south attack.

It seems that he is afraid that this Central Plains war will not be lively enough, and Huang Taiji outside the gate can't wait to join in.

Originally, Huang Taiji, who was repelled by Yuan Chonghuan in Ningjin, was ready to clean up Mongolia, solve his worries first, and then plot against the Central Plains.

But the turmoil in the Central Plains had been sold to them by the Jin merchants as intelligence.

Huang Taiji, who got the news, was very excited, thinking that this was a good opportunity that was once in a lifetime.

Generally at this time, when the aquatic grass on the grassland is the most fertile, these Guanwai tartars will choose to stay at home for grazing. When it was winter and there was nothing to eat, I remembered to invade the Central Plains.

But now, Huang Taiji thinks that the best opportunity for the Manchus has come, and of course he refuses to let it go in vain.

Tai Chi personally led the Great Belle Daishan and Belezir Harang, Yue Xu, Du Du, Sakhalian, etc., to lead the four banners of the right wing of Manchuria, known as 100,000 horses, and went straight to Jinzhou.

He also brought with him two younger brothers, Dorgon and Dord. This time, the wolf-ambitious barbarian chief is going to show all his teeth to bite his former master. (Houjin used to be one of the guards of the Ming Dynasty, Duoyan Sanwei.) )

Yuan Chonghuan was waiting for the battle, this time, he was facing a more crazy and ferocious enemy, but his rear was not as stable and stable as last time.

The clouds of war and pessimism spread throughout Liaodong.
