(Today's second chapter.)

Got bad news, well, at least for me. My first girlfriend is getting engaged to someone, but unfortunately it's not me.

Well, what else can be said with only blessings? In fact, I especially want to learn from Gu Xiaobai in the men's gang, and say, 'I'm relieved to see that you're not happy.' ’

Well, that's it, peace of mind codeword.

For those forgotten memories. ）

September 26, 50th year of Zhengde.

Lian Zining didn't expect that his first battle would start so quickly.

Since the departure from the capital, this is already the fifth day, and Beizhili has not suffered from the spread of military disasters, and this is the prosperous area that can be counted in the north. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, with a prosperous fire, extremely developed commerce, and the rudiments of capitalism had appeared. With such a huge economic strength as the backing, although this year's grain harvest in the north is less than 30% of that of previous years, but the land is close to the Beijing Division, and the local officials are under the nose of the Son of Heaven, so it can be regarded as effective in doing things. Therefore, the place is still stable and prosperous, and there is no scene of starvation and displacement of people as Lian Zining expected.

All the way to the march, although they are all in the wilderness and have not entered a city, but even so, you can see the prosperity of this northern land. Even outside the city, it is a village in three miles and a village in five miles, densely populated. When it comes to dusk, the smoke rises in a row, and it is a time of peace and sorrow.

Lian Zining traveled all the way, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel quite emotional.

This era is the best era in Chinese history, and it is also the last glory before the fall of the Chinese nation! This is the last prosperous era created by the Han people, a brilliant dynasty!

Huanghuang Daming, the world's largest cultivated land area; the world's most populous; No. 1 in the world in terms of mineral output; The world's largest possession of silver; The number of troops in the world is the largest; The world's largest military industrial output value; No. 1 spy agency in the world; The world's largest in terms of gross tonnage of ships; the world's first tertiary industry; It is the largest country in the world in terms of land area.

This dynasty, after the establishment and accession of Emperor Hongwu, and the five expeditions of Emperor Yongle to the north, reached a military peak, and the actual control area is not much more than that of the Tang Dynasty! After all, even when the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, its territory stretched from the Pacific Ocean in the east, Beihaizi (Lake Baikal) in the north, Tocharian in Persia in the west, and Linyi in the south, with 856 overseas states, and according to the statistics of later generations, the territory area was 13 million square kilometers! In fact, the actual control area of the Tang Dynasty was only similar to that of the Qin Dynasty. The others are all local tribal toasts, and they just don't listen to tunes and don't listen to announcements.

Although the territory of the Ming Dynasty was slightly smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, its actual control over Tibetan Province, Ili, and the Nuergan region in the northeast was quite powerful.

As for the economic population of the Ming Dynasty, it far exceeded that of the previous dynasties, the official population of Zhengde in the past 40 years was 98 million, and the actual population was only less than 200 million, and the prosperity of the commercial economy was only comparable to that of the Song Dynasty.

In the time and space of Lian Zining, after experiencing the changes of civil engineering, the Ming Dynasty gradually sank, and finally, in the Wanli Dynasty, the last three major expeditions of Wanli completely consumed the last trace of vitality of the country, the Apocalypse Chongzhen, and then, it was the hundred years of the Han people's sinking! It is also the hundred-year sinking of this nation!

Fortunately, in this time and space, it has not yet come to that point, although the surrounding situation today is much more dangerous than in history, surrounded by a group of hungry wolves, but the Ming Dynasty is also much stronger than in history!

A strong and huge army, an old but not dim emperor, a powerful center, rich people, and a prosperous commercial economy, all of these are showing that after the great reform of Emperor Zhengde, the Zhongxing era of the Ming Dynasty has arrived!

History has proved countless times that as long as the Central Plains Dynasty itself does not go into chaos and does not decline to the extreme, those grassland peoples around it will never be able to conquer the Central Plains!

Occupying the most fertile and fertile land in the whole East Asian region, with the largest population, the most advanced technology, and the most stable grain production, the Chinese nation naturally has a great suppressive advantage over the surrounding Dongyi, Xirong, Nanban, and Beidi Quartet countries.

Lian Zining has come all the way, what he has seen and heard, has had a great impact on him, he used to shrink in Yanjing City, and if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he didn't know how strong this dynasty was. And now that I have seen it with my own eyes, Lian Zining thinks and feels, and has a clearer plan for his future path.

After walking for five days, passing through various states and counties, Lian Zining restrained his subordinates, only marched and camped in the wilderness, ate dried meat and dried meat brought by himself, drank water picked by himself, never disturbed the people along the way, and would not enter the city.

Such a well-disciplined army made the magistrates along the way dumbfounded! As the saying goes, the military disaster and the military disaster, this military disaster, not only refers to the rebellious army that wants to rebel, most of the time it refers to their own people, every time the army crosses, it is normal for the place to be three feet high in the sky. The soldiers eat the local, drink the local, and ask for benefits when they leave, and they can't say that they will make some troubles, and you can't manage it, and the confused lawsuit will go to the military department to the governor's mansion of the five armies, and people are also towards their own people!

Therefore, as soon as they heard that there were going to be large soldiers crossing the border in their jurisdiction, the magistrates were all worried, but they did not expect to encounter such an army with strict military discipline and no offense!

Especially a few days ago, Wang Qianhu, who was avant-garde in the government army, led two thousand households to the south of Hejian Mansion almost along the same route, where to eat along the way, and asked for benefits when leaving, which scraped a layer of land hard.

In this way, with those negative teaching materials to compare, the reputation immediately went up. So under word of mouth, Wu Yijun had not yet fought a battle, and his reputation swished upward. When the news reached the capital, there were many scholars who spread the word that the President of the Wu Yijun was worthy of being a scholar and in charge of the army, and he could write those two amazing and brilliant words.

The Ministry of War's writing had already reached the local prefectures and counties, and although Lian Zining only slept in the wilderness and did not come to disturb him, the local officials could not help but express their opinions.

When Lian Zining set out to camp in Gu'an on the first night of his departure, Gu'an County sent the county's Master Qian Gu to bring three classes of 100 people, carrying dozens of big fat pigs, carrying rice, grain and good wine. The county order couldn't figure out Lian Zining's temper, so he let Wang Qianhu in the past choke enough, not only brought these things, but also sent the benefits of five hundred taels of silver and twenty or thirty women, just to deal with these uncles quickly.

Lian Zining had no intention of breaking the customary rules in the officialdom, so he accepted the grain and fat pigs, and also accepted the good wine, although he didn't drink it, but this thing was very useful for disinfection and treatment of soldiers, and it was also a strategic material. As for women and silver, then thank you for not being sensitive. Lian Zining thinks that he has a great future, but he doesn't want to go wrong in such a small section and be involved in the participation of those imperial historians who hold their minds all day long like mad dogs.
