At this time, the Ming troops everywhere had indeed finished their work. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's all done from south to north.

The last group of banner guerrillas who were still resisting in Changbai Mountain, also sang hymns with firm faith under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, and resolutely threw themselves into Tianchi, which was completely extinct from this black land, and even if there were still alive, they were all in the glorious slave team of the Ming Dynasty, contributing to the construction of the empire. Fortunately, after all, they have natural advantages in language and various aspects, especially they know how to pat those managers very well, so they are quite mixed in the slave ranks, and many people have taken up the position of managers, which can be regarded as a reflection of the benevolence of the Holy Dynasty.

And the fighting in the south has also subsided.

Or it can also be said that those who should be killed were also killed by the Ming army.

Even the last Sultan of Sulu, who still insisted on his beliefs, finally changed his ways, personally set fire to the tens of thousands of scriptures he had confiscated, completely bid farewell to his unbearable past, and ordered all the temple elders in the country to be cut down, and then those temples were demolished, and the shrines were rebuilt on the original sites to lead the people of the whole country to convert to the Holy Religion......

Of course, he was also knighted by the King of Sulu.

As for how many people have died on the Luzon Islands in these years, it is really impossible to find out, anyway, the census results of Luzon Province in the Ming Dynasty that have just been completed, if you don't count the Sulu Kingdom, the population of the province is less than two million, including the Han people, and the indigenous people who were incorporated into the Han nationality after converting to the king. In short, the entire Luzon Islands, not counting Mindanao and a few small islands controlled by the King of Sulu, add up to two million people, and the population of Sulu is estimated to be three or four hundred thousand, as for how many they were before, then God knows.

The fighting on the Spice Islands has also subsided.

Whether it is Sumatra or Java or Sulawesi or even the natives of New Guinea there is no longer resistance, of course, there may be a few people in the depths of the jungle who fight to the end for their faith, but there is no need to use the army, this little matter is solved by the local police.

Yemen is the only one left at war.

Therefore, now the huge war machine of the Ming Empire has basically stopped running at a high speed, and even the garrisons in various places are constantly withdrawing from the country, and the garrisons in some unimportant places have also begun to be withdrawn and transferred to the reserves.

At present, there are still the remaining military region-level establishments, as well as the north and south of the two capitals to stay behind, the northwest economic envoy, this is about to change to Xijing to stay behind, the southwest economic envoy, although there is no war in the southwest, but there are complex ethnic groups there, and there are several subject countries that also need to be suppressed, so the economic strategy is still retained, and the station is located in Kunming. Nanyang Economic Envoy, although this is also not much work, but it is also necessary to suppress the natives of various subject countries and islands in Zhennan Province, including Luzon is also included in the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Economic Envoy, and then the Indian Economic Envoy of Xuance Mansion, the Ceylon Economic Envoy of Zhaowu Prefecture, and the port of Aden, or the Tianfang Economic Envoy who has just changed its name to Zhenwu Mansion.

In total, there are eight more military districts.

The field army has not been cut much, and the local garrisons have been abolished, and the Ming Dynasty is still fifteen infantry corps, and even one more cavalry corps has become two, and there is also a corps-level marine, a total of eighteen field armies.

However, the vast majority of these eighteen field armies are currently idle, only the Second Cavalry Army, and the Second and Ninth Infantry Corps each fight in the Arabian Peninsula, and the rest of the troops do not even have the enemy, and the First Cavalry Corps to which the Northwest Economic Strategy Envoy belongs, and the Fifth Army has the threat of a few chaotic khanates in Central Asia, and the Ninth Army and the Second Army have a little work in India, and the life of the other armies is also very boring.

The army is idle, and the navy is even more idle.

The army still has an enemy, the navy does not even have an enemy in the Indian Ocean, the Ottoman fleet was completely annihilated, the Omani navy is not worth mentioning, the Persian and Mughal empires are not even worth mentioning, the powerful fleet has completely lost its opponent, in fact, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean have completely become the bathtub of the Ming navy, so that Emperor Yang ordered all the old sail battleships to be decommissioned, including the remaining few second-class battleships were also transferred to the Naval Academy, and all battleships were replaced with steam cruisers.

And this is the reason why the Ming capitalists are enthusiastic about the construction of Xijing.

Very simple......

If there is no more war, they will have no money to earn.

At this time, the capitalists of the Ming Dynasty had no teacher, and they had already understood what the so-called economy was all about, to put it bluntly, they had to keep tossing, they had to fight, they had to engage in large-scale construction, and if they did not fight wars, they would not engage in large-scale construction, and they could not drive high-speed economic growth by relying on exports and private consumption alone, or that they could make a lot of money.

Why did Emperor Yang build Xijing?

Isn't that just about expanding westward?

Expansion to the west has to fight, as soon as the war is fought, they will immediately have a lot of money, as soon as the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels, and the movement of the army is like spraying money outward, they just wait to pick it up in the back, the clothing, food, shelter, transportation, ammunition consumption, weapon loss are all business opportunities, not to mention the spoils of war after the victory, the capture of the captured slave trade, the resources of the occupied area, the market of the occupied area, this is all money! What did they rely on to make crazy money in previous years? Isn't it just the crazy operation of the war machine of the Ming Dynasty? Where did the Cheng family's property increase more than ten times in ten years come from? Their family was the second largest steel giant in the Ming Dynasty after His Majesty the Emperor, and every shell fired by the Ming army added a fortune to them.

Now that this war machine has suddenly stopped, those capitalists are in a hurry!

And the construction of Xijing, all of a sudden let them see the dawn of hope for this machine to run at high speed again, what they have to do now is to do their best to push it to turn quickly, the reason why Emperor Yang did not attack to the west is not because the railway cannot be repaired, and the material supply cannot keep up? Then hurry up and help him fix it! What's more, building roads and building the city itself can also make a lot of money, especially this is not only about building roads and building a Xijing, but also about building a bunch of urban construction and resource development factories along the line, not to mention how much money you have to make just by equipping those immigrants with carriages!

Money, money, money!

That's all money!

It is said that at this time, the capitalists of the Ming Dynasty basically had the same mentality as the American capitalists of later generations, which were full of evil thoughts, for fear that the world would become peaceful, but whenever there was a possibility of war, they would also go all out, push more innocent lives into the fire pit, and then happily count the gold coins stained with blood.

"It's as black as a crow in the world!"

Emperor Yang couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion.

Of course, this is what he wants to see the most, capitalists, they are all this kind of blood and dirty things, especially as a superpower capitalists do not go all over the world to grab money, do they still go all over the world to help the needy? So what's the point of such a life?

"Your Majesty, the Northwest Economic Envoy has reported that the Russian envoy has requested an audience."

Shao Tingcai said.

"Drive them away directly and tell He Jin that no envoys from Russia are allowed to enter the country."

Yang Feng said.

Peter sent an envoy over to repair it, and then see if he could buy some arms to fight Sweden, after all, he just lost in the fact that the weapon was not as good as Charlie, if he could also get the same level of weapons, then it would be completely possible to turn over, this time Yang Feng attacked the Ottomans, he could take this opportunity to repair, after all, he could also attack the Caucasus from the north to the south.

But Emperor Yang's design is to watch him be killed by Charlie.

Yang Feng just wants to induce Charlie to continue beating him, it is best to beat him to death directly, if Sweden can annex the European part of Russia, he will cheer for Charlie, Sweden's population is too small, even if Charlie occupies Russia, he will inevitably not be able to digest such a vast land, that is to say, Charlie's ability limit is not able to cross the Ural River, and even he can't even cross the Volga River, so that the Asian part of Russia and even the part east of the Volga River, the Ming Dynasty will be at his fingertips.

So Yang Feng will not sell rifled weapons to Peter.

Since he is not going to sell weapons to him, then he still repairs a hair, does he like to see the Russians very much? He likes to ride Russian oceans very much, but he doesn't need to rely on repairs to buy Russian oceans, he can go directly to grab them, as long as the railway is repaired to the point where Turkmen Bashiming's army can enter the Caspian Sea, he has no problem even if he changes to a Russian oceania horse every night.

Well, in fact, he has a lot of Yanmar in his back gong now.

This was all given to him by Charlie, after all, his hobby is well known, and as the most staunch ally at present, the Swedes have shown him friendship by collecting some beautiful women from Lithuania, Russia, Poland, and even their own country in their own occupied territories, which is not worth mentioning. Even Louis XIV gave him several French and Spanish maidens, although this kind of thing is certainly impossible to do publicly, but who has not had some small tricks in private, such as Charlie's beauty must have been robbed by the Cossack gangsters, and Louis's beauty must have been abducted and kidnapped by some outlaw.

"And what about the private merchants?"

Shao Tingcai asked.

"Private businessmen are casual, as long as they don't control materials, they can establish sales channels and sell how they like!"

Yang Feng said.

It doesn't matter if the smoothbore weapon is made, it's not bad to let the people make more money from Peter, in fact, the smoothbore weapon produced by the Ming Dynasty is also a high-end product for Peter, at this time, the level of Russian weapons is miserable, basically in Europe is synonymous with the lowest inferior products, and the smoothbore guns produced by the Ming Dynasty are the highest level of smoothbore weapons, steel tube brown Bess plus twelve pounds Napoleon cannon, such a high-level weapon, it is estimated that under normal circumstances, those gray animals may not be able to use it in another hundred years.
