Wang Jue didn't know that the new army he led scared the main force of the Jin State from Panjin all the way to Mukden in a flanking battle. It's a pity that he didn't have much offensive strength in his hands, so the Ming army's plan to pursue and recapture Mukden was postponed indefinitely.

The battle for Fengtian, which broke out for 25 days, finally ended with the Ming army losing first and then winning, and Fengtian, the largest city on the Liaohe Plain, also became the only gain of the Jin State in this war.

And with the outbreak and easing of this war, the new army of the Ming Empire emerged and became the biggest winner. Wang Jue, who deployed front-line defense in Panjin, soon received the rank of major general conferred on him by His Majesty the new emperor Zhu Mu, and all his subordinates were promoted, and the new army was supplemented by selected soldiers from the mobilized soldiers and expanded to the size of a group army of 200,000 people.

The 1st Division of the New Army was only established for less than 3 months before it was ordered to expand to the size of an army, and Zhang Jianjun, who was only a battalion commander a year ago, became one of the youngest two army commanders in the entire Ming Empire. And another young army commander is Guo Xing, the commander of the 2nd Army of the New Army.

As the war situation in Liaodong was gradually stabilized, a new Liaodong group seemed to have taken shape, and even the 29th Army, which was originally stationed in Jinzhou, was incorporated into the new army, and Feng Pingzhang also became a commander under Wang Jue. The Ming Empire army, which recaptured Montenegro and other areas, reoccupied the defense line on the west bank of the Liao River, which had been severely damaged, and began to deploy fortifications on a large scale.

The Jin State, which had given up a large area of plain land, saw that the Ming army was building fortifications and had no intention of gathering troops to force the Liao River, so they temporarily relaxed their minds, and they strengthened their defense lines, and used various conditions to import weapons and equipment from Ceylon, Japan, and even the United States, trying to stabilize the current control area, resulting in the fait accompli of the occupation.

……

Putting aside the situation in Liaodong for the time being, Zhu Mu, the new Ming Emperor who had just inherited the entire empire, put down the book of "Capital Small Note" in his hand in the Shouhuang Palace behind Wansui Mountain. He looked up and looked at the few men in decent clothes who had come in, and there was no expression on their faces.

was able to smoothly ascend to his throne and get the support of the courtiers, this prince Zhu Mu is not a mediocre good gentleman, he naturally has his own team and his own power. And these people who supported him to ascend to the throne did not hold idle power in their hands, but wealth, almost infinite wealth.

Zhu Mu knew that maybe the income of the entire Ming Empire was not as good as that of these smiling men in front of him, each of them was a predator with huge assets, and the reason why they stood on his side Zhu Mu was because of the agreement reached between Zhu Mu and them.

The struggle for power between the emperor and the power of capital has a long history within the Ming Empire. Since the Emperor of the Apocalypse promoted the reform of assets, but was unwilling to give up the power in his hands, the internal strife of the Ming Empire was far more fierce than the border troubles.

Although the Ming Empire lost more and more land on the battlefield, it did not delay the idea of the emperor and the capitalists attacking each other. However, Zhu Mu is an outlier of the royal family, and he prefers to use a reform of his own to end this huge and endless struggle.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Yue, who was standing next to Zhu Mu, reminded Zhu Mu who was thinking in a low voice, Zhu Mu seemed to break free from his thoughts, and at this time, these businessmen and industrialists who came in had already found their own positions and stood in a row.

Zhu Mu looked at these businessmen who were well-known in all walks of life on weekdays, and said with a smile: "Come on! Don't let everyone stand like this, ...... Sit, sit! ”

He also wants these people to contribute to his new policy, so his attitude is surprisingly good. Soon they all found a sofa by the wall and sat down, which was more casual than the old palace bookstore, more like a reception hall.

"I came to you just to fulfill the promise I made to you." Zhu Mu didn't go around in circles, but said directly to the point: "I have sat in the current position with your support, so the conditions I promised you will naturally be fulfilled." ”

Hearing this promise, the faces of the businessmen sitting on the sofa immediately showed even more joyful expressions than just now. This is not a small business, but a condition given by an empire. And this empire is probably the richest empire in the world, even if it is a little declining now, but it is still an empire!

"Ahh Your Majesty is really a generation of Ming Jun, as long as we wait for all of us to work together to recapture Fengtian, it is just a gesture of Your Majesty. A businessman at the head flattered Zhu Mu with a smile: "We are willing to contribute our own strength to the restoration of the empire's glory." ”

Tan Jincheng...... I remember you. You are the largest controlling shareholder of Chiyou Company, and I have heard that if your company stops production for a day, my army will be left without weapons for a day. Zhu Mu looked at the short and fat man who spoke, although the other party was not good-looking, but he was the largest arms manufacturer in the Ming Empire, and it was also the largest weapons manufacturer in the world.

Chiyou Company was originally the private property of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and after more than ten years of development, it became the largest artillery production factory in the world at that time. At the height of its year, this behemoth could simultaneously build 200 guns of various models, producing calibers from 50 mm all the way up to 500 mm.

Now the world's largest caliber 810 mm cannon, the Yongle cannon of the Ming Empire, is produced by Chiyou Company, and it can also be seen from here that Chiyou Company is indeed very advanced in metal technology such as smelting and casting. In the past 20 years, this company has been in a state of semi-shutdown, because during Zhu Changle's reign, there was no large-scale foreign war.

"Now, your factory can produce at full capacity, I want 1 billion rounds of ammunition and 1,000 howitzers of 150 mm caliber." Zhu Mu looked at Tan Jincheng and handed the production contract that had been prepared a long time ago to the weapon tycoon.

Then before the other party could answer, Zhu Mu continued to open his mouth and handed out another document to the second person, and said at the same time: "Yang Yuheng, you are the largest car manufacturer in China that I can find, 4,000 cars I am waiting for, you had better start working overtime tonight." ”
