Forbidden city.

Li Zicheng is a rare day to go to the court today and handle government affairs.

Since he broke through the Forbidden City, he has fallen into the gentle township, especially Chen Yuanyuan, which has made him addicted.

However, today's news from Jinzhou made Li Zicheng finally sober up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the faint monarch will break through Ningyuan and Jinzhou within a few months, and rely on the danger of Shanhaiguan to make the Dashun army unable to advance, if the faint monarch unifies the north, how should we deal with it?" Li Zicheng asked.

Niu Jinxing smiled: "Your Majesty is too worried, that Tartar is brave and good at fighting, how can it be so easy to deal with?" Dum Jun just relied on some luck to take Ning Yuan and Jinzhou. Your Majesty should still focus on dealing with the south now, and strive to take Jinling as soon as possible, so that not only can you expand your territory, but also include a large number of Ming soldiers into the Dashun army. Now that the faint monarch has fled north, many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are panicking, Your Majesty might as well recruit them and promise the title of prince and prince, once Jiangnan falls into the hands of Dashun, no matter how much the faint monarch tosses, there is no power to return to the sky! ”

Li Zicheng listened, nodded and said, "In this case, let's do what the prime minister wants." ”

......

After the Battle of Jinzhou, the world seemed to have returned to calm, Ming Jian was busy restoring the economy, copying the experience of Ningyuan City, Jinzhou soon resumed production, and commerce began to move.

After taking Jinzhou, the sea route was also opened, and Ming Jian ordered people to quickly build a port and send people to watch it firmly.

Once the sea route is opened, not only will there be more channels for business, but it will also be equally important for the military.

The Ming army also began to build warships and prepared to build sailors.

The Qing army did not come to retaliate, although Li Zicheng appealed to the Ming army, but in the face of the temptation of his interests, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie were indifferent, but Zuo Liangyu accepted the throne of [King of Chu] and officially announced a break with the Ming Dynasty.

......

Two months later, the city of Jinzhou changed dramatically, with high walls, smooth roads, more and more ships anchored in the harbor, and twelve warships of the navy division cruising, which seemed to have the demeanor of a big city.

However, at this time, it has entered winter, and there is no way to carry out activities in the north on a large scale.

Ming Jian continued to train the troops, reassure the people, develop people's livelihood, and build infrastructure, the winter days are not very easy, although the people have installed warm kang at home, but there is still a lack of food.

At the cost of charm points, Ming Jian almost systematically supplied the lives of a total of two million people in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan and other places.

Therefore, everything that can be eaten is collected by Ming Jian, processed through the system, and distributed.

And with the stability of people's hearts, the population has also begun to increase, and the birth rate of newborns is not low, which has brought challenges to Mingjian.

If we do not expand food sources as soon as possible, I am afraid that the population pressure will increase by then.

If this had been put in the past, it would have been to forcibly join the army and let them go to war and consume. But now Ming Jian will not do this, the number of the army has always been controlled at about 50,000 people, 10,000 each of the Dragon Guard, Tiger Guard, and Eagle Guard, and 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry.

After some consideration, Ming Jian still felt that he should go out in winter and rob the Tartars' grain and livestock.

This is not difficult for the Ming sword, as long as everyone in the Ming army is equipped with skis on their feet, it will be done.

The first skis were soon created by craftsmen, and after putting on the sword, he began to walk in the snow.

After getting acquainted with it, he accelerated his march, and Ming Jian found that this was faster than the cavalry.

A month later, a ski team of 1,000 people was officially formed, and the task of the ski team was to wait for the opportunity to act, rob the food and livestock of the Tartars, and of course, it could also be done to rescue the Han people.

The captain of the ski team is Ming Jian himself.

Soon, the first operation began, and Jinyiwei inquired back that the Tartars would be transporting grain and livestock to Shengjing.

Before the action, Ming Jian held a mobilization meeting, he said to everyone: "Soldiers, in this snowy sky, to be able to make meritorious contributions, it is a matter of nothing, although God has closed the road, but we can walk out of a way by ourselves, with the skis under your feet, for the Ming Dynasty, I will act with you, let the Tartars see, our Ming arrogance!" ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!!"

At the beginning of the operation, Ming Jian led the ski team along the remote road, and after sliding for a distance, everyone got used to it, in fact, this thing was easier than riding a horse.

For the next few days, the ski team traveled in the ice and snow, and soon, the Jinyi guard came to the specific location of the Tartar grain transportation team.

"Everyone, the Tartar grain transport team is less than fifty miles away from Shengjing, but it is only ten miles away from our current position, according to the previous deployment, start moving!"

Ming Jian immediately gave the battle order.

In the snow, the soldiers of the Ming army rushed in the snow, and after a short time, they saw the Tartar grain transport team, which was very long, with a convoy more than 100 meters long, and knew that the food was very sufficient at a glance. Tens of thousands of animals are sandwiched in it, which is even more gratifying.

Seeing the Ming army suddenly kill, the Tartars were stunned, and before they could pick up the guys, the Ming army had already started to kill, and the Tartars soon fell in a pool of blood one by one.

Seeing that there was no one alive, Ming Jian laughed and said, "Soldiers, let's send it this time!" ”

"It's all Your Majesty's strategizing, clever and clever!"

Everyone said.

Ming Jian immediately used the system to send all these grains and livestock into the system restaurant, and produced a large amount of food.

After a hearty meal with the crowd, the ski team then returned to Jinzhou City.

Such actions began to become frequent.

The problem of grain and grass for the Ming army was well solved, while the Tartars lived a panicked life, and later, they did not dare to transport grain at all.

Ming Jian's courage also grew, and he began to move deep into the hinterland of the Tartars.

Not only did they plunder food, but they also plundered population, and the Tartars often knew about their actions only when the Ming army had already withdrawn.

Moreover, Ming Jian has the help of the system, and it is completely easy to take away the looted food through the system, so that the Tartars cannot be tracked.

After more than a month of action, Ming Jian is a lot familiar with the terrain of Liaodong, and of course he has suffered a lot.

After exercising, Ming Jian's physical fitness is better now, and his complexion is obviously much better than that of Emperor Chongzhen in the past.

The ski team also became the tigers of the snowy mountains, and soon spread throughout the north.

But the opponent wants to imitate, but they can't imitate, just such a simple thing, they just can't think of it.

Feeling at a loss, in addition to gritting his teeth and cursing, the Tartar could only stay in Shengjing City and no longer come out.

Perhaps, they will only dare to come out until the snow melts, but then they will not be able to witness the demeanor of the ski team.
