Chapter 279: The Iron Curtain of the Northern Kingdom (Part II)
The story of Luoyang ended like this, and Chongzhen's four years were like tea in his mouth, which naturally flowed into his stomach. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Zhu Changhao showed his strength in Luoyang City, he marched west towards Xi'an Mansion, but did not go to the Yamen of Shaanxi to sit down, but directly turned to the southwest.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of another year, Zhu Changhao led more than 60,000 people to arrive at Hanzhong Mansion, Sun Chengzong, Qu Shiyun, Song Yingxing, Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Wang Zheng, Yu Yuzi, Sun Yuanhua, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qi, Deng Rujiao, Wu Yankai, Zhao Yuanyi, Wang Zheng, and everyone in the palace are there, after all, they have come back for the New Year.
After everyone and Zhu Changhao built a ceremony, the Lantern Festival is also approaching, and Zhu Changhao plans to go to watch the lanterns with everyone tonight. After the end of the lantern viewing on the 16th day of the first month, the 12 ministries of the three provinces under the jurisdiction of the palace submitted this year's action plan, as well as various charcoal respects, ice respects, and budgets for carriage and horse expenses, and then submitted them to the household department for review and approval.
Chongzhen's four-year Lantern Festival, the people of the entire Hanjiang River Basin, can be said to be the happiest Lantern Festival, after all, this year, I have eaten and drunk well, and there are still two surplus money on my body.
Zhu Changhao took the princess Liu Zilian, Bumu Butai, Qiao'er, Dong Wanning, and Liu Ruis to play on the four main streets and eight main streets of Hanzhong Mansion.
Son Zhu Guoyu and daughter Zhu Hibiscus are both in Zhu Changhao's arms, but these two little guys are too unwell-behaved, they always like to arch their faces to Zhu Changhao's chest, the problem is that Zhu Changhao, who often practices the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", has a tendon meat on this body, and the two young children rubbed on their chests for a while. There was no water, and I immediately cried.
After hurriedly giving the child to the nurse and the princess, Zhu Changhao found that raising a child was really hard work.
Zhu Changhao watched the temple fair during the day in the past two days, inspected the city, and took turns to work on the three women at night.
Princess, Qiao'er, Dong Wanning, Bumu Butai, that is, Yu'er, is now eighteen years old according to folk sayings, and she can "talk down", but Zhu Changhao feels that in two months, when he goes north to inspect and south to patrol the sea, he will take two of them with him to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Ming Empire, so Bumu Butai will not be evenly stained with rain and dew.
Rui Wang Zhu Changhao is so comfortable, but the officials of the other palaces are not so easy, after all, they have to make a budget, which is a matter involving their own welfare, that is, the twelve servants are not in a hurry, and the people below are in a hurry.
From the Ministry of Officials Lang Qu Shiyun, the Ministry of Industry Lang Song Yingxing, Education and Water Conservancy Lang Xu Guangqi, the Criminal Department, Land Servant Li Zhizao, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Wang Zheng, the Ordnance Supervisor Sun Yuanhua, the Ministry of Agriculture Qin Ruzhen, the Printing Workshop Wang Yazheng, the Royal Bank Lu Lun, busy...... All are on budget.
Among them, education and the military department spent the most.
On the 17th day of the first lunar month, a total of 36 members of the political cabinet and the military cabinet attended the meeting.
The meeting first decided on this year's work plan and some military strategies to be carried out. After two days of discussion, the "Iron Curtain of the Northern Kingdom" was staged with Zhao Yuanyi, the Beiyang Naval Division, Li Dazui, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, Lu Xiangsheng, the Liaodong envoy, Fu Zonglong, the chief soldier of the regimental training, Zhao Shujiao, the commander of the vanguard army, Sun Chuanting, the commander-in-chief, and Zhu Changhao, the envoy of the Northern Economic Strategy.
The meeting also determined that the cavalry division led by Fu Zonglong would be named the Longxiang Army, a part of the cavalry, and now it was under the command of Zhao Shujiao.
The "Iron Curtain of the Northern Kingdom" plan, the most important thing is to divide it into two layers, the first layer is military operations, and the northern grasslands are sorted out from the five major forces of Yeerjiang, Erut, Mobei, Monan, and Jiannu in Liaodong in the west.
In fact, for Yeerjiang and Erlut, Zhu Changhao felt that it was best to focus on deterrence now, after all, they still followed the Ming Empire, and the forces of Mobei only needed to subdue Monan and Liaodong.
According to the order of precedence, first of all, we must do a good job in the joint defense and offensive of the north, and Zhu Changhao decided that in all departments in Hanzhong, it is necessary to make preparations for war now, starting from logistics supply, as well as troop replenishment, and transportation. In addition, it is necessary to manage Tumut, and so is Lin Dan Khan, but for Horqin, Zhu Changhao feels that he will send troops if he can't do it, although the upper echelons of Horqin know that Bumu Butai is now Zhu Changhao's woman, but more Horqin women are married to the Aixin Jueluo family. Compared with the two sides, naturally in the past thirty or forty years, there are many people who love the Xinjueluo family.
But this can't be compared like this, Zhu Changhao believes that when his army is practicing in the philosophical wood of Horqin's Khan City, he believes that his eldest brother Wu Keshan will make the right choice.
In addition, judging from the historical inheritance of Horqin, when Genghis Khan became emperor and distributed all the land and subjects of Mongolia to his younger brothers and meritorious heroes as "Kubha", Hasar was given a share of the vast land around the present-day Ergun River, the Hulunbuir steppe in the Hailar River basin, and the Outer Khingan Mountains. Genghis Khan expanded the "Huo'er Chen" with bows and arrows, that is, the Horqin Guard. Hazar was the commander of the Uldulchi (commander), and was responsible for the guard and guard of the camp of the Great Khan. "Korqin" gradually evolved from the name of the military institution to the general name of the ministries to which the descendants of Hazar belonged, forming the famous Horqin Ministry. The well-known tribes of the Mongolian people, such as Nen Horqin, Alu Korqin, Sizibu, Maomingan, Ulate, Qinghai and Shuote, all belong to the Horqin branch.
In fact, there are quite a few branches of Horqin, and now as the envoy of the northern country and the southwest of the country, he will no longer look at the entire strategic issue one-sidedly.
The "Iron Curtain of the Northern Kingdom" operation was discussed and watched for two days, and then the budget was relatively simple, and in various military operations, as well as warships, steel manufacturing, and soldier recruitment, it actually reached 40 percent, disaster relief and emergency response 20 percent, agriculture and education 2 percent, officials at all levels 1 percent and a half, and special funds half percent.
A total of 20,000 silver dollars were budgeted, and this model was carried out in the way of fighting a national war.
The second layer of the "Iron Curtain of the Northern Kingdom" means that the new land policy should be implemented in the areas north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River, which was previously said to be the Han River basin. For those that are not suitable for farming, then they should be grazed, and the people should be encouraged to eat beef and mutton. Of course, all kinds of river fresh food and seafood can't be relaxed.
On the twenty-second day of the first month, all the departments of Hanzhong Prefecture began to get busy, and the soldiers recruited by the various inspection divisions began to be transported to Hanzhong. At the same time, Fu Zonglong, as the general soldier of the regimental training, took the warrant of Zhu Changhao, the envoy of the Northern Economic Strategy, and led more than 40,000 people of the Longxiang army to start towards Xi'an, Yan'an, Dongshengcheng, and finally stationed in Wanquan Dusi, that is, Xuanfu, this way up along the Yellow River, almost also included more than 20,000 local young and strong displaced people, the Longxiang army has reached three divisions, independent into an army, the pioneer officer Zhao led the teaching, also led 10,000 cavalry to set off.
After Fu Zonglong and Zhao led the Jiao to Xuanfu, they immediately took over the full-time positions of Shen Qi, the governor of Shanxi, and Wang Shiyao, the chief soldier of Xuanfu.
Although Shen Qi and Wang Shiyao were a little dissatisfied, Fu Zonglong took Zhu Changhao's warrant, and he couldn't say anything, besides, when Fu Zonglong took over, he said that he didn't want to be in Xuanhua Mansion all the time, and after the prince finished inspecting the nine important towns in the north, he would complete a series of strategic layouts, and he would leave Shanxi.
In this way, the two of them felt a little better, Zhu Changhao hoped that the two would make a fuss, and it would be better for him to kill the two in the end.
After all, this Xuanfu town soldier has become more and more unsuitable in the past few years, and the information from the eagle eye that the Xuanfu soldier has to be trained well.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the troops of Xuanfu Town were transferred to aid Liaodong, and the soldiers mutinied on the way. It had a huge impact on the Battle of Sarhu. In the first year of Chongzhen, the Later Jin Dynasty conquered the Mongolian Chahar Department. In the second year, he took control of the Xuanfu border. Just last year, Chahar Lindan Khan, who was threatened by Houjin, demanded a bounty from the Ming Dynasty, asking for 400,000 yuan, and received 80,000 yuan...... Seeing this, Zhu Changhao also considered that the soldiers of Xuanfu Town had become soldiers in the Chinese New Year's Eve for 30 years, and although it was said that the children of military households had grain and land in every household, the land had been plundered by officers such as the generals, hundred households, and thousands of households among these military households. The Xuanfu border army can't even eat enough every day, let alone fight the enemy.
Especially thinking of buying peace with money, Zhu Changhao wanted to stuff the garbage from the Ming Dynasty directly into the steelmaking furnace of the Military Weapons Supervisor to make some contributions to steelmaking.
Although there were a lot of things about the army being dispatched, Zhu Changhao handed them over to various ministries, and the specific person in charge of each was done, and the matter came alive.
On the twentieth day of the first month, Zhu Changhao finished inspecting the ordnance superintendent, as well as the printing workshop. Especially in the printing workshop, Zhu Changhao asked Wang Yazheng to run the "Daming Daily" well, and to use the royal business name and the Tianxia Post Station to deliver the newspaper to various prefectures and counties.
In terms of production, the Xiangyang Ordnance Workshop and the Jingzhou Ordnance Workshop have now been officially renamed the Ordnance Factory, and at the same time, it was decided to build large ironclad shipyards in Dengzhou Mansion and Mawei, Fujian. A warrant was also handed over to Wu Yankai, Tu Siliang, the director of the Mawei Shipyard, asking for every effort to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the shipyard, and at the same time, to Yu Kaiyi, the master of Fubo, asking him to write a letter to his brother, Yu Zhigao, the chief military officer of Fujian, hinting at Zhu Changhao's actions and ruthless moves.
After this copy of Zhu Changhao's warrant went down, the second copy was the public of the military department. letter, specifically how many troops were given to the Henghai Division this year, as well as the tonnage of the warships, and the firepower assembly.
Wu Yankai got this gong. After the letter, he couldn't sleep excitedly, because he actually gave the Henghai division a military quota, then he would really be a veritable army commander in the future.
Xiangyang Shipyard has now begun to build steam ironclad transport ships, when the eight ironclad transport ships were handed over to the transport fleet of Rui Wangfu, the Cao Gang of the Ming Dynasty has booked three million silver dollars of ironclad transport ships to Xiangyang, either to protect the sailors, or 10 million shares, Xiangyang Shipyard dares to accept it.
Three million is a good omen, but also let Daming's coal mining and steel smelting have greater motivation. Zhu Changhao also knows that when his "Northern Iron Curtain" is completed, such a big wealth cake, I don't know how much wealth will be created?
