Chapter 441 The war has been decided, and the battle will begin

The snow has been falling, and these grievances, hatred, and hatred that erupt from the bottom of my heart permeate the heavens and the earth, so that the snow huā, who had been dancing wildly, seemed to be afraid of these heart-rending cries, and gradually became quieter, and they all rose one after another, and changed from wild dancing to much quieter.

The biography continues.

Watching the snow fall gently from the sky, and looking at the mournful soldiers under the stage, Yuan Chonghuan didn't know what to say, just looked into the distance in a daze.

He has always claimed to be the pillar of the country, the mainstay of the resistance to the Dongyu, the first person, is the second Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty, can save the building from falling, can drive away the Hulu ......, perhaps, things are not what they think, although they have the ambition to serve the country, but they may not have this ability.

These heart-rending soldiers, their suffering, their inner suffering, their hatred, perhaps, they have never really understood, never really entered their hearts, do not understand them, how can they say that they understand Liaodong? If you don't know Liaodong, how can you fight? And how to deal with Dongyu? Or even say that it will be five years flat? Is it self-esteem, or is it self-arrogance? Or, you are playing a crazy game, a crazy game that gradually becomes uncontrollable, and perhaps the end is to end with yourself falling apart.

Yuan Chonghuan, who was melancholy and depressed, kept drifting to the sky with the fluttering of the snow.

The crying on the school grounds has become more and more xiǎo, and it seems that Xue Huā has also heard it, and it has become quieter and quieter

A fast horse galloped in.

"Report ......, my lord, there are many carriages from outside the south of the city, and the convoy of cotton clothes has arrived." The knight turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly came to Yuan Chonghuan, with a happy face, if it wasn't for any big happy event, at this moment, he would never rush into the school field, this school field, obviously, not quite right, the cry, it was really miserable, most of Jinzhou City could hear it, it was never a good thing, who dared to touch that brow.

The knight's voice was very loud, and in this school field, which had fallen silent, it immediately set off a big *.

"Arrived? Has it really arrived? ”

"It's so fast."

"Really?"

Some people said that the cotton clothes would arrive soon, and some said that the cotton clothes would not arrive until the lunar month, and hundreds of thousands of cotton clothes could not be prepared all at once, and it was a blessing to wear new cotton clothes a year ago. Although some people guessed that the soldiers who poured out of the nest a few days ago were not chasing Tartars, but to transport this batch of cotton clothes. However, accurate sources are estimated to be limited to a limited number of people such as the governor. I didn't expect that the cotton clothes would arrive so soon, which was really unexpected.

The soldiers below also moved, after the grief, the grievances and hatred in their hearts had dissipated a lot, and many people began to look up at the general stage, and those behind began to inquire about what happened in front of them, and this cold and lonely school field, because of the intrusion of a knight, warmed up again.

"Master Zu, how are they?" Yuan Chonghuan's mind was pulled back from the sky from a distance by the knight's shout, and after coming back to his senses, there was a slight smile on his face and he asked.

"Lord Hui, Lord He of Xiǎo said that Lord Zu is still behind, there are too many carriages, and you need to beware of a sneak attack by the Tartars......" The knight said with a smile when he saw Yuan Chonghuan.

"Good to pass the order, all the streets and squares, all the gongs and drums are beaten, this Futai wants to let the people of Jinzhou know, the cotton clothes sent by His Majesty have arrived, and the people of Jinzhou City want to see the national strength of my Ming Dynasty, this Futai wants to let Jinzhou, the soldiers of the entire Liaodong know Your Majesty's kindness......" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly smiled, he had been confused with his thoughts, and now he is also transparent, the emperor can see farther than him, he can see more clearly than him, and he may not know how much ability he has, You don't need to think too much, as long as everything is done in accordance with the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor and according to the emperor's wishes, all these troubles of your own can be thrown away.

"Obey" The knight immediately agreed, this is a big deal, Lord Yuan wants to make the entire Jinzhou City make a fuss, and he knows that the emperor's cotton clothes have arrived.

The officials and assistants are even more discussed, and the soldiers under the stage are also discussed.

Gonggong Qin has been on the side, listened to it truly, and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan, in order to prepare cotton clothes for you, Your Majesty was planning a few months ago, and before January, it has already started to set off, Your Majesty is for you, but Cào is heartbroken, loyal to the country, these four words, our family reminds Lord Yuan, but don't forget it" Gonggong Qin smiled and reminded Yuan Chonghuan who was smiling. ,

"Father-in-law, rest assured, this Futai is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, and it is always in my heart." Yuan Chonghuan replied with a smile, he has been melancholy, depressed, he suddenly figured out that he is not worthy of melancholy and depression at all, he doesn't need to think so low, he has always wanted to be a hero who turns the tide, stands up to the sky, and saves the Ming Dynasty, in fact, he may not have any ability, he thinks too far, the emperor has already seen through everything about himself, and has been constantly reminding himself in various ways, but he can't see through it, he can't figure it out, and now he has "enlightenment", a knack, everything is understood.

"I hope Lord Yuan won't go back on his word......" Gonggong Qin said with a smile, and said with a vague appearance.

Yuan Chonghuan discarded his original melancholy and depression, held his head high, and stepped forward. shouted: "Soldiers"

The soldiers under the stage saw Lord Futai come forward, and they were already waiting, to see what Lord Futai would say.

“…… The good news just arrived, Your Majesty is sympathetic to us, and the cotton clothes sent to us are here, or in a few hours, everyone will be able to wear warm cotton clothes, Your Majesty is so sympathetic to us, we should be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, swear to serve the ......, kill the Tartars...... "Yuan Chonghuan changed his original high-minded mentality, turned to lower his posture, and began to really contact these soldiers with his heart, not to contact these soldiers, not to feel their feelings, how to say that he understands Liaodong? Don't know Liaodong? How can we talk about dealing with the East Captives? My own dreams are not real and too fake.

The soldiers under the stage were very surprised that Futai seemed to have suddenly changed into a person, and they didn't come back to their senses.

I don't know who shouted: "Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, kill the Tartar ......"

The soldier who had just vented the hatred in his heart and the bitterness in his heart learned that the emperor's cotton clothes were coming, and he couldn't help but shout wildly, and the scene became hot.

"Loyal to the monarch to serve the country...... kill the Tartar ......"

"Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, kill the Tartar ......"

"Loyal to the ...... to serve the country"

"Kill the Tartar ......"

Just now it was a school field where the spirit was crying, and now, it shouted an earth-shattering cry.

Yuan Chonghuan had already changed his depressed face in the past, and followed the soldiers to shout wildly, shouting wildly while raising his arms high, not caring what kind of governor he was.

……

The city had already been opened, and horse-drawn carriages with deep indentations entered Jinzhou City.

In the city, there are people constantly carrying gongs, beating along the street, and the people who have taken refuge in the houses because of the wind and snow are struck again, and the people who play the gongs and the people along the street continue to pass messages to each other, and after a while, the whole street is lively, and the figures come out of the house one by one, ready to see the latest arrival, it is said that there are many, many cotton clothes.

The entire city of Jinzhou, because of the wind and snow, was cold and silent, and now, after a burst of gongs and drums, it has come back to life.

"Look at the cotton clothes,......", "Bang", "...... Look at the cotton clothes ,......", "bang", "......, the cotton clothes issued by His Majesty are ......" The people who carried the gong shouted and struck the gong at the same time, and kept sending out the news that the cotton clothes were coming.

In a courtyard near the school grounds, two people are eating hot shabu-shabu in the house.

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty played very beautifully, and he used people's heads to exert power, and he used cotton clothes to coax people, this trick of beating a stick and giving a sweet date, but it was a good game......" The man on the left ate a piece of shabu ròu, and said disdainfully.

"Shhh......h The man on the right hurriedly stopped.

"Hehe, brother, don't worry, I'm free and measured, and I won't cause you trouble, but it's a pity that there are so many cotton clothes, but I can't deliver ......the news to the Great Khan, otherwise, not to mention such a large batch of cotton clothes, it's not bad to scrape Yuan Manzi and scrape Emperor Ming's face......" This person obviously didn't take this person's persuasion to heart.

"Shh......, don't think about it, for this time to transport cotton clothes, Yuan Manzi sent someone to block the entire south of the Daling River, not allowed to enter and exit, dare to enter and exit at will, but kill on the spot, I have lost several brothers, I originally thought that Zu Dashou led the soldiers to chase you, to remind you of your heart,...... Hmph, now it seems that I went to transport cotton clothes......" The man sitting on the right said dissatisfiedly.

"Brother's heart, I know, the Great Khan also knows, in the future, it is indispensable to your benefits, but I want to ask, why does it seem that a very powerful group of people and horses have suddenly appeared recently, and they have robbed us of some remote cattle records, firearms and horses are very good, and they often run away when they hit him, and if they want to chase him, they will throw grenades, and many times they have made the chasing people suffer a big loss, and my brother knows the origin of these people." The man sitting on the left suddenly asked. ,

"Oh, you mean the rangers...... The guy you said is particularly powerful, and they are also very famous in Jinzhou City, and the leader seems to be surnamed Yang, called Yang Liu or something, I heard that he used to be a border army in Shaanxi, and he was also born in the army, and he couldn't get by there, so he went to Liaodong to try his luck, and I heard that they had people in Beijing, and they supported them behind their backs, and they could nòng to the grenade that others were not good nòng......" said the person on the right.

"No wonder their firearms are more powerful than the soldiers, double horses, double guns, a burst of grenades at every turn, there are fewer people and they dare not chase, and when there are more people, they are just in their ambush, but they are a difficult fellow," the man on the left sighed and said.

"You mean, looking for a chance to get rid of them?" The man on the left asked.

"Exactly, what the Great Khan means is that if there is an opportunity, find a way to get rid of them, they are always disturbing like this, it is very bad for us, if they become the climate, or if they become the trend in Nanming, it will be very bad for my Dajin......" said the man on the right.

"Well, I know, I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll get rid of them as soon as I get the chance,...... However, the ugly words have to be said in the front, they also have some background, and if you want them, you may cause some trouble......" Although the person on the left agreed, he also hesitated and expressed his worries.

"What's so hard about that? You won't pick up a few border generals who are short of money, and just say that those people are worth a lot of money, and if you rob them, won't you get rich? That group of people must not follow, the two sides must fight, maybe, they can't even find the corpse......" The person on the right took a bite of shabu-shabu and said disdainfully.

"Good strategy, good strategy......" The man on the left laughed.

……

After a few circles around the city of Jinzhou, the wagon carrying cotton clothes returned to the school grounds, and under the thunderous shouts of the soldiers, it had been unloaded and ready to be distributed according to the roster.

"Zhang San ......"

"Wang Wu ......"

……

One by one, the soldiers soon received their own cotton clothes, and immediately put them on themselves, this kind of thick cotton coat with a hem is very warm to wear, and the wind that has been very cold can no longer be poured in.

Many smiling soldiers blushed and even sweated slightly on their faces because they laughed too violently.

"Hehe......"

"Hehehe......"

"Ho ho ...... Ho ho ......"

The soldiers were wearing new cotton clothes, looking at each other, looking at the new cotton clothes, not knowing what to say, but just laughing.

……

In this military town, where most of them are officials and soldiers or their families, it didn't take long for the new cotton clothes of green sè to become the latest scenery in Jinzhou City.

……

Forbidden city.

Platform.

Yang Reform is discussing with Sun Chengzong and Qin Liang to pick up and deduce the battle situation.

The city of Beijing suddenly blew cold wind for several days, the temperature plummeted, and Yang Gengai had to put on cotton clothes.

"Old lady, the white pole soldiers are all southerners, the temperature has plummeted these days, I am afraid that the white pole soldiers can't stand the climate in the north, have they received all the cotton clothes?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Thank Your Majesty for your care, they have all received cotton clothes, and now, they have all put them on, and they have also received a new quilt, and they all say thank you Your Majesty for your grace...... "Qin Liang yù has been spent in the moving past few days, the weather has just become cold, the emperor sent the cotton clothes, one for each person, in addition to the cotton clothes, there is also a chuáng quilt, the cotton clothes Qin Liang yù weared, also opened and seen, all of them are really good cotton huā made, there are four pounds of weight, worn on the body, that is called a warm, Let Qin Liang, who was fighting around with his former soldiers, feel warm for the first time.

"That's good," Yang said.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside." Wang Chengen walked in, put a shawl on the emperor, and said by the way.

"Oh, it's snowing," Yang said with emotion, the heavy snow that he had been looking forward to for many days had finally fallen, and the dust that had fallen had settled.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's finally a foregone conclusion." Sun Chengzong said with a smile, it snowed, this really marks the end of this year's war, although the overall situation has been decided, but it has not yet reached the time when the dust has settled, it belongs to the situation of winning ninety and a half, a person who does not feel good will be shaved in the face, this year's record is not perfect, only when it really snows, it can be regarded as a real win.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Qin Liang yù also said.

"This year, Dongyu will not come again." Yang Reform muttered.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, looking at this year's posture, maybe it is a heavy snowfall, and outside the Guan, half a person may be buried overnight, and this year's war is completely over......," Sun Chengzong said. ,

"Well, this year's war is completely over......," Yang Reform muttered to himself, because of the heavy snow, the war is over, the heavy snow is coming, that is to say, the end of the year is coming, the move against the sky, is coming, how to go against the sky, Yang Reform's mind is still a húnluàn, several clues, all of which are not the essentials.

The end of the year is approaching, not counting the expenses of the Northern War, just the reissue is two million, plus cotton clothes, rewards, pensions, and the additional expenses needed in the capital, the capital camp at the end of the year, the expenses are quite amazing, if it is not for the stock to make some money, if it is not for the bank can also give himself "financing", Yang Reform doubts, how should he live.

This heavy list, heavy pressure on Yang Reform's shoulders, so that Yang Reform was out of breath, with the power of one person to an empire blood transfusion, one person to raise an empire, this pressure, is too great, even if you open countless gold fingers, you can't afford it, so, this situation, must be changed, and it is immediately changed, the only way out is to collect taxes, collect commercial taxes, collect customs duties, collect salt taxes, only after these taxes are collected, the situation of the entire empire will be changed, otherwise, It is not the blood transfusion of itself to the empire, but the empire itself chōu.

Undoubtedly, to collect taxes is to be the enemy of the entire bureaucratic class, that is, to be the enemy of countless landlords and big businessmen, think of the bureaucrats and landlords who have become a sea of bureaucrats, Yang Reform feels that he is under great pressure, however, for Yang Reform who has no way out, this is a road that must be taken, and if it does not work, history will repeat itself, or he will die in advance, and if he wants to get through, he must kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and everything that dares to stop him must be smashed.

"Master Sun, Old Madam Qin, today's war deduction, let's stop here......" Yang Reform's thoughts are no longer on the platform, húnluàn is very good, and the war deduction can no longer be deduced.

"Obey the order, the minister will retire" Sun Chengzong and Qin Liang retreated.

Yang reformed back to the Qianqing Palace and sat alone in the warm pavilion in a daze.

Calculate the forces that you can rely on, calculate those neutral forces, calculate those that will definitely fight back, what method do you use to defeat them, so that they can't turn over, and when necessary, you can use force to suppress them, and those are reliable forces? There are too many clues, Yang Reform deduces in his mind one by one, and strives to make up for every possible omission, he only has this one chance, it is impossible to do it again, Yang Reform keeps admonishing himself.

I turned out the list of Shanxi Jin merchants that I had hidden, looked at it, the names of the people in it, I had kept it in mind, and then opened a map, on this map, it was marked with the salt fields all over the Ming Dynasty, once this matter started, the salt merchants would definitely be the first to be bō, and the timely takeover of the salt industry would be the highlight.
